The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 44, Zhao Yuzhi (additional update for further reading)

Dongcheng Nanluogu Lane, the street coal shed.

Chen Guohua took out the coal stamps and money, and ordered two hundred kilograms, or about 150 pieces of briquettes, from the staff.

Briquettes during this period were not expensive, and could even be said to be very cheap.

Mainly, briquette technology has appeared in [-].

Now we are promoting briquettes, so the price is cheaper than burning firewood.

The price of a piece of briquettes is only two cents and eight cents.

The 150 pieces of briquettes he ordered cost four yuan and twenty cents.

Basically, for the four brothers and sisters, eight hundred kilograms, or 600 yuan, of briquettes is enough for heating and cooking in one winter.

However, it is already early February, even if we count the late spring cold.

These 150 pieces of briquettes are enough to support the four brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua until March.

"Okay, will you wait at home?"

The old man who delivered coal was stopped by the staff as soon as he came back and asked for help to deliver coal to Chen Guohua.

The coal truck the old man rode was a three-wheeled vehicle called 581.

It is small in size and can turn flexibly, making it especially convenient for transporting coal to coal bunkers deep in alleys.

Upon hearing the staff's inquiry, Chen Guohua nodded hurriedly.

This is really good!
It can also be delivered directly to your door, and the experience is instantly full.

150 pieces of briquettes is not much.

A coal basket with two ears woven from wattle sticks and a dustpan with three handles are the tools for delivering coal.

Chen Guohua also wanted to help transport coal, but the old man quickly shouted, don't get his clothes dirty.

"Where are your elders? Why are you the only one buying coal yourself? Have you burned all the coal before winter?"

The old man had a good impression of Chen Guohua, and he finished the job of loading coal neatly.

While greeting Chen Guohua to get in the car, he chatted and ate while driving, which was quite pleasant.

The distance from the coal shed to Courtyard No. 98 is not far.

But the old man was very chatty, and he kept chatting with Chen Guohua for a long time.

From the other party's words, Chen Guohua learned that the 581 three-wheeled vehicle was manufactured by the Modu Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

We also know that before winter, almost every household will prepare firewood or briquettes for winter heating.

In fact, this is the same as at Majiafen.

It's just changed from ordinary firewood into briquettes.

In his previous life, Chen Guohua was in the south, and he moved to the city early and used gas tanks.

Therefore, I really don’t know about the firewood or briquettes used for heating in winter.

After arriving at the place, the old man directly picked up the briquettes and walked to the yard.

The old man is so strong.

A basket of briquettes weighs fifty kilograms, and a handful of briquettes weighs 25 kilograms.

The purpose of using a dustpan to transport coal is to let users see that these are beautiful briquettes that are well-proportioned, smooth, round, black and plump.

No, the old man just walked into the yard carrying two baskets of briquettes.

Housewives such as Aunt Wang, Jiang Tang, and Aunt Fang are basking in the sun.

Even though he was amazed, he said:

"Comrade, whose coal is this for? It's so beautiful!"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw Chen Guohua following the old man.

The aunts were immediately surprised: Are there coal tickets?
At this time, briquettes are still being promoted and have not been included in the unified purchasing and marketing.

In other words, there is no need to buy coal.

Even so, it can only be purchased with coal stamps.

However, didn't Chen Guohua just move into Courtyard No. 98 yesterday?
Besides, isn't it working time now?

Why is Chen Guohua always busy with his own affairs, doesn't he need to work?
It's just that everyone was surprised. After all, they were not familiar with Chen Guohua, so they didn't speak casually.

Not long after, the old man placed four briquettes, totaling two hundred kilograms, at the door of the east wing of the central courtyard.

After sending the old man away, Chen Guohua began to clean up his home.The afternoon passed quickly.

In the evening, while Chen Guohua was cooking, he heard someone knocking on the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a pretty young woman standing at the door with a smile on her face.

"Hello, you are Chen Guohua, our new neighbor in our courtyard, right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

Chen Guohua looked at the other party calmly and said doubtfully.

"I'm Zhao Yuzhi who lives in the backyard. Here's the thing. My house has no firewood and I haven't paid my wages yet. Can I ask you to borrow five pieces of briquettes?"

"When I get paid, I will definitely pay it back to you."

Borrow briquettes?

He had just moved in when someone asked him if he wanted to borrow something?

Is it the other way around?

Since he was new here, Chen Guohua couldn't refuse, so he nodded and said:

"The briquettes are at the door. Take them."

Briquettes are definitely not suitable for stacking in the house.

Put it here at the door, it's just right.

"Thank you, thank you Guohua, you are such a good person!"

When Zhao Yuzhi heard this, he immediately said gratefully.

As he spoke, the granary on his chest was trembling, which was very seductive.

As a vigorous young man, even though Chen Guohua was very determined, he almost couldn't bear it now.

Fortunately, the other party quickly took the briquettes, turned around, twisted his big butt and left.

To be honest, this Zhao Yuzhi has good looks and a good figure, which is rare.

This should be considered the golden phoenix in the chicken coop, right?

Chen Guohua withdrew his gaze, closed the door and continued cooking dinner.

What he didn't notice was that Jiang Tangshi from the east wing and other neighbors were watching this scene with smiles.

His eyes were full of gloating.

In Courtyard No. 98, who doesn’t know what kind of woman the Widow Zhao is in the backyard?

Relying on his good looks, several bachelors in the yard were fascinated.

He was called a vixen and a living bandit by Aunt Fang, Jiang Tang and other aunts.

For example, Fang Hongqiang, Hu Dexiang, etc.

Especially Hu Dexiang, no matter how smart he is, it doesn't matter how long he takes to make things happen.

In front of Widow Zhao, her IQ and EQ quickly turned negative.

Several times, conflicts in the yard were caused by Zhao Yuzhi.

It can be said that she is the source of trouble in the yard.

In the room, Chen Guohua made dinner and was ready to eat.

But several nearby neighbors suddenly became angry.

"Who eats meat?"

"Kill with a Thousand Swords. It will be the New Year in a while, and now you eat meat? Why are you so prodigal?"

"It smells so good. It's braised pork. Oh, mom, I want to eat meat."

In the west wing of the backyard, the two little girls were crying at the top of their lungs.

Desire to eat meat.

The two older children also looked at their mother longingly.

Zhao Yuzhi sighed, coaxed the child a few words, and then had to get up to borrow some meat.

Following the aroma of braised pork, Zhao Yuzhi came to the east wing of the central courtyard again.

But she didn't notice that Fang Hongqiang was also following her, looking at her graceful figure greedily.
