Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 9 There are bad people among the masses [-]

Factory Director Yang acted vigorously and resolutely, and news of recruitment came out the next day. The recruitment for the renovation and expansion of the steel rolling mill was mainly to absorb temporary urban registered workers.

For a moment, Dongcheng District seemed to have a big stone smashed into the water, and people from all walks of life showed their magical powers!The homes of leaders at all levels above the workshop director level in the steel rolling mill are overcrowded as soon as they get off work. There are seven aunts and eight aunts, and all kinds of roundabout relationships.

Leaders at all levels were impatient, and there were too many people with too many eyes, and there was no room for secret operations. They complained to Director Yang one after another!
Factory Director Yang also has one head but two big heads. He was reprimanded by his superiors and labor department leaders for “having no political consciousness and no discipline!”

There are several young people in the courtyard who are of a suitable age and unemployed, and they are constantly making strange moves, keeping a close eye on the goings-on in the courtyard.Your family went to the factory today to look for personnel, and mine followed closely; they went to find the labor union, follow them; they went to the streets, follow them...

Especially the third uncle, Yan Fugui, who rushed back from school early when he saw Tian'er, ran to the subdistrict office, annoyed Director Wang, and directly told the concierge Uncle Qin that when Yan Fugui comes to the subdistrict in the future, he will tell Yan Fugui to complain to the school leaders. .Yan Fugui stopped on the street and approached the parents of the students again.All families with a small status in the steel rolling mill walked through it, and even had dinner...

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, was very motivated. He left early and returned late every day. After conveying the instructions of Factory Director Yang to the workshop director, he spent most of his time going to the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, euphemistically known as learning communication technology.

As the mass behavior intensified, the Dongcheng District Government acted decisively and moved forward the recruitment time originally scheduled for the end of September by two weeks. The Labor Bureau urgently contacted all streets to confirm the list of recruiters, and the noise gradually calmed down.

And not a single young man of school age in the courtyard has entered the steel rolling mill!
In the past two weeks, Gu Weijun was still smiling in and out of the courtyard. On the surface, he took Yang Yu and Zhao Chenggang to find odd jobs, and brought back a basket of vegetables every now and then; secretly, he took Yang Yu and Zhao Chenggang to Zhao Chenggang's house. Learn electrician knowledge.Qin Huairu also secretly stopped him once, hinting that Gu Weijun should quickly ask Dad Gu to find someone to complete the work and improve his household registration.When Gu Weijun said, "I'm still young, let the other elders in the courtyard go to work first to put them off," Qin Huairu was so angry that she stamped her feet and shouted, "Damn kid!"

Have a foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry from the past life, plus maybe the souls of the two lives merged into one, or maybe they drank the "bath water" and reborn and developed their brains?In just a few days, Gu Weijun completed the study of electrical basics (analog circuits), electrical circuit diagrams, multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc., and began to be the teacher among the three.Later, Yang's father also hired a master electrician and asked the three brothers to follow him to carry out practical operations and integrate theory with practice.As a result, the electrician master told Gu Weijun that he was born to be an electrician and now he can take the electrician certificate exam, which greatly stimulated the two brothers Xiaoyu and Tiezi!
The changes in the Northeast courtyard are also gratifying. More than 40 chicks have hatched and are running all over the yard. Picking up eggs every day has become the most "painful" thing for Gu Weijun.The interplanted corn, soybeans, and peanuts have also sprouted and are growing well. What is even more surprising is that there is a small beehive in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

It happened to be the second weekend of September. After noon, Gu Weijun left homework for Xiaoyu and Tiezi. Regardless of the murderous eyes of the two brothers, he patted his butt and walked away. Tonight, Father Gu, Father Yang, and Father Zhao made a date for a drink. Bureau, Gu Weijun is going to come up with something.

He turned left and entered the post office, bought an envelope and stamps, stuck them in his pocket, and when he opened the door with his left hand and left the post office, Gu Weijun was already carrying a large sack.Call the tricycle waiting on the street and go around the courtyard.

Walking back to the alley, his younger brother was playing wildly with a group of children. Gu Weijun called the children over. After calling his brother or uncle, one of the children was given a hard candy.After sending the children away, Gu Weijun put the sack on his back and just entered the courtyard when he was stopped by the third uncle, "Junzi, what good thing are you carrying? The third uncle will help you!"

"Third uncle, please rest, don't shake your waist!" Gu Weijun took out the envelope, shook it and quickly stuffed it back into his pocket, "The coarse grains sent from the Northeast asked us when we will go back this year!"

"You keep busy!"

Walking to the middle courtyard, Auntie and Qin Huairu were drying quilts and seasonal clothes with rainwater. First master and Shazhu were sitting in front of the door, setting up a small table to drink tea.Seeing Gu Weijun, Shazhu muttered in a voice that could be heard in the courtyard, "Rural people should go back to the countryside. What's the point of staying in the city? Isn't it a waste of food!"

"Zhu!" The first man interrupted Silly Zhu in a low voice, and then faced Gu Weijun and said with a smile, "When you grow up, you should help your parents and the elders in the courtyard to do more!"

Gu Weijun smiled and nodded, "That's right!" He looked down at his trousers, "Have you grown taller again?"

She shouted to Qin Huairu: "Sister-in-law, let my mother borrow your sewing machine later!"

Qin Huairu shook her clothes and responded, "Okay, I'll ask Aunt Wang to come directly later." She also glanced at Gu Weijun's trouser legs, "You are a young man who grows very fast. How much more fabric will it cost to grow taller?"

"Haha, your sister-in-law will like you if you grow taller and stronger! Then you won't be bullied!" Gu Weijun had something to say, and regardless of Qin Huairu's coquettishness, he walked back with a smile on his face with the old man. backyard.

"Hey, Thief Sun!" Silly Zhu just stood up and was grabbed by the uncle.

Qin Huairu also glanced at Si Zhu, "Si Zhu, why are you fighting with a half-grown child all day long?"

Silly Zhu was dissatisfied and angry, "Look at how arrogant this grandson is! He doesn't take the elder and the ancestors seriously at all!" The elder's face turned even darker...

Hearing this, Yuyu said: "I see, you are unhappy just because you were shot three times by the army!"

Hearing this, Shazhu became even more angry and said with a dark face: "Hey, Shashui, Sister Qin, why do you always turn your elbows outward?"

Several women laughed together!
As soon as Gu Weijun returned home, he carefully put down the sack and was untying the hemp rope when Gu's mother heard the sound and asked in surprise, "Where did it come from?"

Gu Weijun made a silent gesture with his fingers, and then replied loudly: "Mom, isn't this a letter from the Northeast? It was mailed together with the letter." Then he whispered in Gu Ma's ear: "Mom, Keep your voice down so that no one can hear it, Uncle Yang helped do this!"

Gu's mother glanced at Gu Weijun, "Son, I eat more salt than you eat rice, do you think you can say that?"

Then he excitedly untied the hemp rope and opened the sack with Gu Weijun, and even disliked Gu Weijun's clumsiness.

When she opened the sack, it was full of corn crumbs. Gu Ma was laughing so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open. She even hit Gu Weijun several times, "Now I won't have to go hungry for a few months!"

Gu Weijun smiled slightly, opened the cupboard, carefully pulled out the rice vat inside, and scooped the corn crumbs in the sack with a gourd made of half a gourd.

As the corn crumbs were gradually transferred to the rice jar, four strips of pork belly buried in it showed their traces. Judging from the size, they weighed more than five kilograms. Gu Ma covered her mouth with both hands, fearing that she would cry out.

Then Gu Ma was shocked... 50 eggs, a 50-jin bag of rice, and two 2-jin bags of white flour. The rice was as fine as pearls, and the white flour was not gray at all... Gu Weijun cleaned up and was about to go to the store. Gu Ma took the credit, and when she looked back, she saw that Gu Ma was full of anger and the feather duster was raised high.Gu's mother skillfully grabbed Gu Weijun's ears and pinched them hard, "Pah, pah, pah!" That's three appetizers, three lightning strikes!
Gu Weijun held Ma Gu's ear-pulling hand with one hand and the feather duster with the other. He didn't dare to shout loudly, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Tell me, where did the stuff come from? Your Uncle Yang's family has never had such good rice and noodles!" Gu Ma's eyes widened in anger and she asked viciously.

"Mom, it was really Uncle Yang who did it. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Uncle Yang tonight?"

"Really?"

"It really can't be more true!"

"Well, if you lie to me, watch your skin carefully!"

Gu Weijun turned his head and looked at his lower back, touched it with his hand, and said with a bitter look on his face, "Mom, there are blood marks..."

"I still have to go out!"

Mother Gu looked disdainful, "What's the point?" She threw a piece of clothing over, "Just put it on."

Gu Weijun couldn't help but smile, endured the burning pain in his back, put on his clothes and went out.He even forgot to mention that he wanted to borrow a sewing machine from Qin Huairu's family.

Yi Zhonghai saw Gu Weijun going out again, thought for a while, said to Silly Zhu, "Go see the old lady," and went straight to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

"old lady!"

The deaf old lady was reading leaf cards on the kang, and glanced at Yi Zhonghai, "Well, Zhonghai..."

Then the room fell silent again, except for the rustling of cards.

After a while, the deaf old lady asked slowly, "Zhong Hai, why are you free to come to my place today?"

"Hey..." Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh, "The boss of the next door family got into a fight with Zhu Zhu again today, and made Zhu Zhu very angry. If I hadn't pulled Zhu Zhu, the two of them would have fought again!"

"I'm afraid Zhu Zhu will suffer another loss!"

Speaking of this, Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice and pointed to the next door, meaning, "Our yard is not stable!"

When the deaf old lady heard Zhu Zhu, she immediately became energetic, and then slowly turned into a confused look, "This house is not mine now, it belongs to the public. What can I, an old woman, do?"

"I didn't expect my old lady to "take the initiative" to give up her house when someone comes..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't seem to hear him and said to himself: "I go to Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant every day recently, and when I meet anyone there, I tell them that our factory has a Doctor Gu who is very good at medicine!"

"Now the workers in Shijingshan are all interested in Dr. Gu, wondering why such a good doctor is not in their main factory?"

"I will have a drink with some of their old workers tonight and continue to talk about it. Now I just have a chance!"

After speaking, Yi Zhonghai looked straight at the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady continued to stare for a long time before she said, "Wait a moment and ask Zhu Zhu to come and carry me to exchange for some food stamps."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Yeah."

"You have to let the factory know tomorrow that Shi Jingshan wants to send Doctor Gu over."

A smile filled Yi Zhonghai's face, "You are always right!"

After Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard, he asked Zhuzi to go to the deaf old lady, then went home to get two bottles of Fenjiu, and said to the eldest lady, "I won't be eating at home."

Carrying the wine, hands behind his back, he went out.

Qin Huairu asked in surprise, "What day is it today? Many men in the courtyard have gone out to drink?"
