A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 3
The Red Star Steel Rolling Plant is outside Dongzhimen. After passing Dongzhimen, go all the way west. Walk along a straight road. If you walk faster, you can walk for 10 minutes to Nanluoguxiang. If you walk slower, it takes more than an hour. It's done in minutes.

This road is full of children running wildly, let alone cars, there are not many buses on the street, not as many as horse-drawn carriages.

There are some bicycles, but not many.

On the concrete pier at the intersection of Beixinqiao, a traffic officer in leggings stood idle and bored...

The streets are full of pedestrians, and it is just after school, so the streets are full of children.

But now it's not like the previous life, not to mention the middle school students are not picked up, even the elementary school students are running around with their schoolbags on their backs.

If the family conditions are better, they can spend five cents to buy a bunch of candied haws and sugar figurines on the side of the road.

But most children can only watch around the children who are eating, and have an eye addiction.

Five cents is enough to buy a catty of cabbage. No one is willing to pay for it. These days, there are many children in every family, and there is not enough to eat...

Li Yuan carried his liberation bag across his shoulders, trotted all the way back to Nanluoguxiang, and rushed to the courtyard where the street was located. Fortunately, the people in the street hadn't left work yet.

However, not many people came in and out, and it seemed relatively leisurely.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a document on group defense and group strategy has been issued, which is the origin of the three courtyard masters.

Although it is only a coordinator, it actually has a lot of power.

Because even in order to reduce trouble, the street will listen to their opinions most of the time...

Right now, most of the enemies have disappeared, and there is the presence of the master of the courtyard, so the work on the street is getting easier and easier.

Most of the small matters such as family quarrels, trivial matters, and neighbor disputes are resolved by the management of the courtyard.

The main task of the street is to master some key core tasks, such as work arrangement, housing arrangement, marriage introduction and so on.

"Hi Director Wang, I'm Li Yuan from Courtyard No. 95."

When Li Yuan entered the house, he went directly to the director of the sub-district office. It was related to housing allocation, and it was impossible without the signature of the director of the sub-district office.

Director Wang is a female comrade in her 40s. She looks very capable in a tunic suit, but don't underestimate her as the director of the street office. She is a serious department-level cadre.

Seeing Li Yuan's clean and tidy black cloth gown, the collar of the sweater lining was also washed clean, and even his hair was clean and refreshed, he couldn't help but feel good about it.

It is not uncommon for the clothes and coats on the body to be washed clean, and those who are diligent at home can do it.

However, not many lined sweaters are kept clean, and it is common practice to wash sweaters once a winter.

As for the hair...

Common people live in winter, women are considered thrifty after washing once a month, men...

Doesn’t washing powder cost money?
Li Yuan was able to keep his hair clean because he once got a big bottle of Rejoice, and after using a little at a time, he could wash his hair every three days and use shampoo once a week.

The effect of doing this is now showing, and Director Wang said with appreciation: "I know you, a technical secondary school student in our street. Did you graduate last year?"

After looking up and down a few times, I thought to myself: It seems that it doesn't seem to be as bad as the rumors, the eyes are very honest...

Li Yuan took out the housing book and certificate from his satchel, and said with a smile, "Yes, Director Wang, I am currently working in the Rolling Mill Workers' Hospital. I have passed the assessment today and I have officially become a full-time employee. The unit has allocated housing, please take a look."

Director Wang took over the house book and certificate and looked at it, then said with a smile: "Yi Zhonghai from your yard has brought Jia Zhang family here three times, and wanting these two rooms has caused headaches for everyone in our street. But the Jia family only has a non-agricultural hukou, and they are still first-class workers with short working years, which is really not in line with the two-room policy. Now it’s all right, the house is divided, and we can live in peace.”

Li Yuan saw that she took out the stamp and stamped the house book, sketched a few more strokes on a notebook, and then handed the house book back.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Xiao Li, since you are a doctor, there will be someone with a headache in the back street looking for you, and you should have some snacks."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "It is necessary, it is my duty. Director Wang, there is one more thing I want to trouble you. Aunt Jia in our hospital is not very talkative. When I was eating in the factory cafeteria today, Comrade He Yuzhu reminded me that the It's going to be a big trouble if I get this suite, Mrs. Jia Zhang won't let me go.

I'm not afraid, I just don't want to make the neighborhood too tense.I am now focused on improving my medical skills, and now that I have become a full-time professional, the time that Master can take me is running out.Chinese medicine practitioners can't practice good medical skills if their time with the master is too short, so they really don't have the time and energy to make disputes with their neighbors.Can I trouble you to come and talk to the Jia family..."

Looking at his clean and sincere face, Director Wang looked at the time again, and said with a smile: "Success, it's rare to have such a good seedling who is hardworking and studious, we have to take care of him in the street. It's time to get off work soon, and I will Just on the way home.”

Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Director Wang, thank you."

Director Wang got up and walked out, and asked with a smile as he walked: "Xiao Li, you are in [-], and you are exactly [-] this year, so you have reached the legal age of marriage. Now the house is also divided, and all conditions are good, yes It's time to think about personal issues. How about it, the street can help you introduce one? The conditions are not bad."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Director Wang, thank you. It's just that I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. The recent period is too important. I have to learn from Master and strive to be a useful doctor in the future, not a quack doctor. At that time, I will ask Director Wang to help introduce the partner, my qualifications are better, and you will look better."

There will be a disaster soon, it's okay to have an extra mouth when you get married, but it's too troublesome to hide many things from the person next to your pillow.

Once some things are unclear, the consequences will be dire. Don’t feel bad about being reported by people around you as spies...

Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense, he really wanted to study medicine hard.

After the great changes in the previous life, too many traditions of traditional Chinese medicine have been cut off, so that in the future, this discipline cannot be described as incomplete, it is completely half-dead...

Opportunities are rare now, and there is nothing else to do. If he goes to the factory to make screws, he will feel tired...

Therefore, I am really studying hard!
Director Wang liked this progressive young man more and more, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm really ambitious! Don't call me Director Wang anymore, you are also a cadre post, so calling me too divorced from the masses, Xiao Li, from now on you can just call me Wang." Auntie is fine."

Li Yuan was naturally happy to agree, saying: "Hey, Aunt Wang!"

The two talked and laughed and entered the courtyard. It is said that this courtyard was originally a part of the Wangfu courtyard, and the floor height of the houses was much higher than that of ordinary courtyards.

It's just that the wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind, and now only the mottled gate is left, the doorposts are so faded that the original color cannot be seen, and the roof tiles are also damaged.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw a middle-aged man standing there wearing a dilapidated woolen hat and a pair of tortoiseshell glasses with white tape on the temples.

Li Yuan has lived in this courtyard for a few years, and he really appreciates the calculating demeanor of the third master in the TV series.

In this day and age, if one person feeds six or seven people, it is not wrong to be good at calculation, but it is unavoidable to be a bit annoying if the calculation is too much, but in general, the character is acceptable.

And because of this temperament of calculating, Li Yuan got a lot of negative emotions.

The resentment that arises after the calculation fails is called a continuous...

"Hey! Director Wang, why are you here now?"

Seeing Director Wang and Li Yuan coming in, Yan Bugui hurriedly squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.

Li Yuan laughed when he saw him. This is the only one among the three elders in the courtyard who is selfish but not harmful.

The biggest problem with this person is that he cares about money, he is almost to the point of becoming obsessed, and his relatives don't recognize him...

Director Wang pointed to Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Xiao Li's regularization? He has been allocated a room in the rolling mill. I'll bring it here and tell you about it."

As soon as Yan Bugui heard it, he knew that this was Li Yuan's reinforcements.

As he walked in, he looked at Li Yuan enviously and said, "Hey, Yuanzi, you are now a serious cadre!"

Li Yuan smiled humbly: "I'm just a clerk, not a cadre. Besides, it's all about serving the people. My master and aunt Wang both warned me not to be proud, but to study harder and improve."

Director Wang smiled and nodded, it's good not to be arrogant.

Yan Bugui believed in a ghost!

He knew much more about Li Yuan, because Li Yuan lived in the ancillary room converted from the front hall, and the two were real neighbors.

But it has been five years since Li Yuan moved here, and he, Yan Pugui, has never taken advantage of him.

Not to mention that he didn't take advantage of it, and he was robbed several times, which is really not a son of man.

So he didn't believe a word of Li Yuan who had a pure smile on his face.

Seeing the look in Li Yuan's eyes, Yan Bugui's heart beat again.

It was Li Yuan who came to the city from the countryside a few years ago. He was either an apprentice or a student, and he didn't have enough confidence.

But it was already difficult at that time, wouldn't it be even more difficult now that he has completely turned into a cadre post?
He hurriedly forced a smile on his dry face to respond, without further words, a group of people arrived at the middle courtyard.

It is the time when workers leave work, students leave school, and women cook, the middle courtyard has the most residents and is the busiest.

Washing vegetables, carrying coal, fetching water, pouring slop, children playing...

The voices were full of people, and it was very lively.

Along the way, someone greeted Director Wang, while Li Yuan took the key and went directly to the West Wing.

There are two rooms in the west wing. The Jia family lived in the south room, and the north room was vacant, and the north room was connected to an anteroom. Now they are all allocated to Li Yuan.

He took the key and opened the north room. The inside was clean and empty. There was only one heated kang in the room of more than 30 square meters, and the side room next door was similar, but much smaller, less than [-] square meters.

People lived there before, so it doesn't look very damp. Although the walls are yellowed and old, there is no large area of ​​peeling.

Naturally, the furniture had been removed long ago, and even the stove for cooking was gone.

These days, stoves also cost money.

But that's all right, don't delay.

And there are exactly two rooms, and the two sides can take turns to live in during the renovation.

"Oh, what is this for? Who told you to open the door of this room?"

A chubby woman with bitch eyes came over hurriedly and said loudly.

In terms of facial appearance, the eyes and tails of bitches are rounded, not sharp like normal people, but rather arc-shaped, and the tails of the eyes are curved downwards.

Such eyes are said to be vicious by nature, and they can be ruthless for their own interests, whether they are their parents, husband and wife, children, or friends, without mercy.

The theory of physiognomy is not reliable, but this woman is obviously not easy to match...

Seeing that she was still waving a fire hook in her hand, Yan Bugui hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Jia Zhang, please be quiet. Didn't you see Director Wang here?"

Director Wang looked at this woman with an ugly face. She recognized Jia Zhang, a widow in the courtyard, in her 40s, who brought up her son Jia Dongxu, and married a girl from Qinjiazhuang in the eastern suburbs of the city six or seven years ago. daughter-in-law.

He has a pungent personality and is good at messing around.

Mrs. Jia Zhang gave Yan Bugui a hard look, and after a "bah", she called to Director Wang: "Director Wang, didn't my family apply for this house first? My uncle and I have gone to you three times. Why did you give it to someone else? There must be someone who comes first, right?" He seemed furious.

Director Wang said indifferently: "Your house does not comply with the policy. Besides, this house is not allocated by the street, but directly allocated by the rolling mill to Li Yuan. This yard originally belonged to the rolling mill."

But Jiazhang jumped angrily and scolded: "The rolling mill can't bully the common people! There are five people in my family and we live in one room, and I don't see anyone who has a conscience to pity our orphans and widows. This kid is He came from the countryside, he is just a farmer, he is still a sick child who knows that one day he will become extinct, why should he be divided into two rooms? I don’t accept it! I’m going to sue him!”

Director Wang sternly said: "Jia Zhang, if you dare to mess around again, I will let someone take you to study now. Li Yuan has long been a non-agricultural registered permanent residence, and now he has become a cadre post. But in your family, there is only one I don’t want to stay in the city, so I’m going back to the countryside now. Several times I’ve seen you pitiful and didn’t want to argue with you, and you’ve even turned your nose up! Xiao Li, go to the street and call for someone…”

Li Yuan said "Hey" and walked out.

"and many more!"

As soon as Li Yuan took two steps, he saw a young woman with watery eyes, two braids, and a floral jacket holding a baby hurriedly squeezed in, saying: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, really I'm sorry, my mother-in-law didn't mean it..."

But Director Wang ignored her. A serious and decent female cadre would feel annoyed when she saw a woman acting like this. How could she listen to such words?

Li Yuan continued to walk out, not wanting to be pulled by one arm. When he turned around, he met a pair of lovely and pitiful eyes...

However, no one expected that such a young man like Li Yuan would show no pity at all, he broke his arms free, turned around and was about to leave the Moon Gate.

A wave of negative emotions surged in Li Yuan's mind, obviously a certain popularity.

Director Wang looked relieved: he really is a good boy, able to withstand Hu Meizi's anger.

The rumors are unbelievable!
But at this moment, more than a dozen workers were seen walking over.

The leader was a middle-aged and elderly man in his thirties and forties, with a thick appearance and a crew cut. He smiled at Director Wang from a distance and said, "Director Wang, leave the affairs of this courtyard to me. I can't handle it well." , you take me as a question."

This person is the uncle in charge of the intermediate courtyard, the eighth-level fitter of the rolling mill, and the most prestigious uncle in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai.

Beside him, He Yuzhu put his arms around Li Yuan's shoulders and refused to let him go. He said cheerfully, "Brother, what am I talking about? Are you making trouble?"

The strength is a bit strong, it seems that breaking away from Qin Huairu just now made the old boy unhappy.

A young man later on also had a gloomy expression, and looked at Li Yuan with a vaguely unkind look. He was Jia Dongxu, the son of Jia Zhang.

On the other hand, the young man with a pouty face next to him glanced at Qin Huairu and winked at Li Yuan.

His name is Xu Damao, and he is a resident of the backyard.

Li Yuan broke away from Silly Zhu with a smile, and did not forget to give him a dark elbow, then stood aside and watched the performance quietly.

Harvesting wave after wave of negative emotions, Li Yuan smiled sincerely. It seems that there will be another prize draw tonight, but I don't know what kind of surprise it will be...

Seeing the silly Zhu jumping up and down to smooth things over for Yi Zhonghai, Li Yuan was amused, how stupid he is!
