Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 154 Family troubles with the coachman
The dog days of summer are really the season when dogs don’t want to go out.

There are few people in the temporary courtyard between noon and mid-afternoon. Generally speaking, business has declined.

The eight nearby courtyards are on holiday, which is also a factor.

Now that the business is on track, if adjustments are not made, there will not be much for Li Jiankun to worry about.Coupled with the reduced passenger flow, he was quite free.

In the past few days, the capital has been buzzing with people, and all the major brick and tile factories have been visited.

Hard work paid off, and I found a set of second-hand brick-making machines that had been obsolete at Chaoyang Hongjin'an Brick Factory.

The price is also reasonable, [-], which is still negotiable.

I had sent a telegram home the day before yesterday and wanted his brother-in-law Qi Weifeng to come over and escort the car back.

I wonder why I should have received the letter today, but Li Jiankun just stayed in the dormitory and didn't go out.

As expected, at noon, the postman, sweating profusely, delivered a registered letter.

"Brother, wait a moment."

After Li Jiankun stamped it with his private seal, he ran to the window with the letter, took a bottle of Arctic Ocean from the table, wiped it and went back.

"How embarrassing." The postman in his thirties waved his hands repeatedly.

"Damn, we're all comrades. It's such a hot day, please cool down."

Li Jiankun couldn't help but help him get started. Seeing this, the postman had to thank him repeatedly. It was indeed so hot that his throat was about to smoke.

He poked it at the door and drank it all in one breath.

That's cool!

When he was done, he returned the bottles to Li Jiankun. Looking at the rows of bottles on the table, it was obvious that he had bought them in one piece, so he could get a refund.

"Another bottle?"

"No, no, no."

The postman ran away, and if he drank again he would feel a little shameless.

Li Jiankun smiled, sat down by the window, and opened a bottle himself. Strangely enough, Arctic Soda was brought back to life in later generations, but when he drank it, he felt the same, including Jianlibao.

Drink it these days, be a good boy!The thief is strong.

I don’t know if it’s because of the difference in the recipe, or because back in these days, there were less delicious ones and they weren’t as mouth-filling.

There was a telegram in the envelope. Li Jiankun shook it open, looked at it, and was stunned:

"My father took out a loan, and the commune took the lead. We purchased second-hand equipment from the provincial capital. Everything is ready to open the kiln at the end of the month. Don't think about it."

Biaozi's reply revealed that the matter had been resolved.

In vain, he wandered around the capital and was ravaged by the sun for several days.

Li Jiankun looked at the line of words and couldn't laugh or cry, "Oh, this guy Li Guifei is very good at playing. He has all the high-end things like loans."

The commune could give Li Guifei a loan, so why did it think he had the ability to repay? You don't have to think about it.

Look, there’s a college student in Lao Li’s family.

Li Jiankun thought to himself, if my brother is really just an ordinary college student, his monthly salary after graduation will be dozens of yuan, and Li Guifei's brick factory is in trouble. A loan of four or five thousand will probably mean that he will have to sell himself for ten years.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

He thought broadly and put away the telegram.

He will not bear this loan unless it is absolutely necessary.

Let Li Guifei solve it by himself, which can put some pressure on him.

If we can really force him to be diligent, no matter how the name of the savings bank is changed in the future, if it lends [-] yuan, I will deposit an extra "ten thousand" into it!
After finishing the soda, I went downstairs to the Xueyi cafeteria and ate a bowl of cold noodles. It was too hot and I didn't want to eat anything with a hint of heat.

When I returned to the dormitory, the West Lake electric fan I bought last year hit Level [-] wind. I lay down leisurely on the bed and slept until mid-afternoon.

The blazing white sunlight is a bit orange.

After locking the door of the dormitory, Li Jiankun went downstairs to get his "Stitch Monster". Damn it, my butt was burning in the bicycle shed.

Fortunately, he was almost used to it after being permed, so he swung his long legs and leaned towards Wudaokou.

This point is just right, it’s time for the small courtyard to welcome guests.

Before approaching the small courtyard, he noticed something happening at the door. Inside a pile of rickshaws, two groups of people were confronting each other.

"You guys who pull the carts, can you be more careful and eat from our yard? As for me hauling the goods, you have surrounded the gate with water. Is it reasonable for you to move the cart?"

"Oh, since when have we eaten your courtyard's food? We are eating the guests' food! It's such a hot day, without us pulling the cart, how could you have so many guests? Besides, are you being reasonable with us?"

Li Jiankun stepped deeply and rushed over. "squeak--"

A floor brake.

"what happened?"

There were two parties, one was the coachman and the other was the merchant from the small courtyard. The leaders were actually Jin Biao and Liu Xiaojiang.

Jin Biao squeezed over and explained the matter.

He was not very clear about the specific details. Liu Xiaojiang had just rushed to the store to look for him and said that he was dragging goods through the door. The door was blocked by a driver who asked them not to move the car. The two sides had a dispute and almost didn't fight. He asked him for help. .

Jin Biao thought that he had to take care of this matter, so he shouted and led a group of male merchants to rush out.

"Jiankun, these rickshaw drivers really don't understand the rules very well. Not only Liu Xiaojiang, but more than one merchant has reacted that they are blocking the road too much."

Li Jiankun looked around and realized why the coachmen were pushing towards the door.

Stealing customers is one reason.Another one, the area at the gate is a little shady because of the wall.

"Okay, bring all the merchants in and I'll handle it."

Jin Biao immediately shouted, and the merchants obeyed his boss's words. However, when Liu Xiaojiang was about to turn around, he was grabbed by someone.

"Don't leave, you have to give me an explanation!"

The person holding him was a thin young man with dark and red skin.

He was not born with such a complexion. Li Jiankun took a look at it and couldn't bear to see it. The thin boy was wearing a pair of ribs, and his shoulders and arms seemed to be covered with layers of torn nylon, with layers of white edges rolled up.

That's skin, sunburned like this.

In a few days, it will fall off as soon as it is torn.

People who have not experienced this kind of suffering will not understand that people can actually shed their skin.

"Let go!" Liu Xiaojiang said angrily.

The situation that had just calmed down became heated again, and all the coachmen supported the thin boy.Jin Biao led the merchants to prevent Liu Xiaojiang from suffering.

Li Jiankun pushed aside the two coachmen in front of him, squeezed into the crowd, and came to the skinny young man.

"What happened to him?"

Seeing that this man had some background, the thin boy pointed to his dirty chest and said that Liu Xiaojiang had just spit on him.

However, the temperature was so hot that even if it was, it would dry up in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to identify it.

Li Jiankun raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Xiaojiang, "Is this the case?"

Liu Xiaojiang was so worried that he was staring at him, because he knew better than anyone else who had the final say in the temporary courtyard because of his relationship with Qingyou.

The entire temporary courtyard is basically this guy's private property!
The Jin Dong family and the Chen Dong family are just his younger brothers.

"Brother Kunkun, I didn't mean it. I spat casually and the wind blew it on him."

Liu Xiaojiang didn't dare to deny it. Thinking about how smart his brother Qing was, he still suffered a lot of losses from this guy. He couldn't even think of being petty.

Seeing Li Jiankun's face darken, Liu Xiaojiang hurriedly took out five dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the skinny boy's arms, "It's my fault, I'll make it up to you."

Five bucks!

After the thin boy hesitated for a moment, he slowly let go of the hand holding his arm.

He naturally has dignity and doesn't want to lose it.But five yuan is enough to cover his family's expenses for a week.

When Liu Xiaojiang saw that he no longer pursued the case, he did not dare to look at Li Jiankun, and Sayazi disappeared.

"A Biao."

"exist."

"Qingjiangfang will be closed for a week for rectification."

Jin Biao was stunned. There seemed to be no regulations regarding dealing with outsiders in the courtyard. He scratched his head and asked, "What's the reason?"

"No reason. If he has any objections, ask his cousin Xu Qingyou to come to me."

"Oh, I see."

Hey!
The merchants present were surprised. They had only heard Chen Yajun call this "big brother", and he was almost the same as Jin Biao.

This tone is too domineering.

The coachmen also had some ideas. I am afraid that this small courtyard with prosperous business in front of them is not the one who has the final say.
