Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 30 The Old Hen Was Stolen
When he reached the gate, Sha Zhu said to the guard, Uncle Qin, "Uncle Qin, this is my cousin Yi Weidong, and he will be from our factory in the future."

Uncle Qin said: "Let's take the top job, that's fine, you can go back, I already know the guy who delivered the fish last time."

Yi Weidong said with a smile: "Uncle Qin, you have really good eyes. It's me. I'll pull something. Tomorrow my brother will bring Sanlun."

Uncle Qin opened the door and let Yi Weidong go out.

Riding on a tricycle, looking at the gate of the Red Star Rolling Mill behind him,

I will be in this factory for the rest of my life,
The wages of temporary workers are not much, 21 cents,

I am over 12 years old, and my monthly food ration is 28 catties.
There are 8 taels of vegetable oil, but fortunately, I am the only one.
You don't have to worry about eating,
In this day and age, it's better to keep a low profile.

When I waited until 76, I was still young and had space in my hands,
It's hard not to get rich.

Cross the bridge and enter the city.

When I passed by a grocery store, I bought a briquette stove for [-] yuan.

Supplied with clips and hooks for digging out ash.

I bought two more tin pipes, some brooms, brushes and other small things,

There are a lot of them.

Although I want to eat together at Sha Zhu's house,
There are two more rooms here, and there is always something to add,
Empty is also outrageous.

Park the tricycle outside Wenji Photo Studio,

He walked in and asked, "How much is a one-inch photo?"

"A piece of thirty-eight cents."

Yi Weidong had to hand in 2 cards to the Human Resources Department before he could apply for a work permit and put it in the file.

Maybe I will use the one-inch photo in the future, took out the change and counted two yuan and twenty-eight cents, and said:

"Six one-inch photos."

The salesperson counted the money, issued a ticket, handed it to Yi Weidong, and said:

"Go into the back room to take pictures, and take the note the day after tomorrow to pick up the pictures."

Yi Weidong put away the note and opened the curtain. In the middle of the small cabin was an old-fashioned camera. There were two incandescent lamps with round spotlight shades on the left and right.

Yi Weidong sat down on the bench in front of the white curtain,
The photographer turned on the incandescent lamp, and the piercing eyes could hardly be opened.
After getting used to it, the photographer shouted:

"Sit down, don't blink, 3, 2. 1. Okay, pick it up the day after tomorrow."

Yi Weidong said, "Thank you, I see."

Come out the door of the photo studio,
Yi Weidong saw that the things on the tricycle were still there,
I was relieved, and I was afraid that it would be stolen!

When I passed by the car repair shop, I was seen by Master Huang:
"Did you buy a tricycle?"

"Not yet. It's borrowed from the rolling mill."

After Yi Weidong finished speaking, he entered the alley.

Pushing the tricycle into the front yard, the big mom who was sitting under the eaves and sucking the soles of her shoes stood up,

Walked over and looked at the tricycle and asked:
"Weidong, aren't you going to issue a certificate today? How did you get so many things?"

"Auntie, where's the shoe sole? I went through the entry procedures today, and now I'm also a worker in the rolling mill."

Yi Weidong said.

There's nothing to hide about this,

If you are not an employee, you will not take the key to live in a public house.

As long as you go to the factory office or the personnel department to inquire,

Can ask.

Yi Weidong parked the tricycle in front of the door of the inverted room,
Open the iron lock, this is a room with an inner room,
In the middle is a gable, and there is no single door, only the door frame,

It seems that I have to buy a single door and install it.

There is nothing inside,

The house was full of dust.

An inverted house is a house with the door facing north.

There are no windows on the south wall either,

There is some darkness in the house,
No wonder no one wants to live in this house,

It's just that I can live in Sha Zhu's house,

I will not sleep with He Yushui in the future,
When He Yushui was at home, he came here to sleep by himself,

The rest of the time I still sleep on He Yushui's bed,
Save myself from being distracted and powerless.

Why!When will this body be healed?

The first mother saw Yi Weidong open the upside-down room and asked, "Is this the dormitory assigned to you?"

"Yes, there are no other rooms in this courtyard, only this one is empty."

Yi Weidong replied.

The first mother said: "This room is a bit cold, and it will hurt your body if you stay for a long time."

"It's okay, aunt. I usually live at my brother's house. I live here once in a while."

Yi Weidong put brooms, stoves and other miscellaneous items in front of the door, and said:
"Auntie, I'll send my things home first, and I'll chat with you when I come back."

"You go back first, and I will ask your uncle to help you clean up later." The first mother said politely.

"No, no, how can I let the uncle do it, there are too many spider webs, I just clean it myself."

After Yi Weidong finished speaking, he pushed the tricycle into the middle courtyard.

Opened the door and took the things I got today into the west room, changed into old clothes,

Taking the rag and the footbath, I went back to the front yard,

The first mother has already entered the house, and there is no one in the front yard.

Enter the house and tie the broom with a wooden stick, and first clean the dust on the roof,

Sweep the wall again, just a few times,
The dust fell on Yi Weidong.

Fortunately, it's just an empty room, and it will be cleaned soon.

carry things into the house,
Bring another basin of cold water,
Wipe down the windows, the door frames and the hinged doors,
There was also a hole for the chimney on the wall, so I saved myself from opening it again.

Put the tin pipe on the stove,

Go back and get the second briquette,

He also took a piece of burnt briquette and put it under the stove,
Then put the red one in the middle,

Press a new briquette on top,

Line up the holes and sprinkle some kosher salt.

After living like this for a few days, you can move in.

Just come back and change a piece of briquette before going to bed.

Lock the door, go back to the room in the middle courtyard, and put the bolt on the door.

After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes.

Opening the cupboard, Yi Weidong was stunned,
Where is the old hen that Xu Damao gave me yesterday?

I remember it was in the cupboard yesterday!
There is only such a big place in the house, and I searched around, but still couldn't find it.

After confirming that it was lost, Yi Weidong first thought of the stick.

Apart from the sticks, how can anyone turn over stupid things.

I was thinking of going to the scrap yard to find out if there is any old furniture.
I can't go this time.

Yi Weidong originally wanted to go directly to Qin Huairu's house to find sticks,
Thinking about it again after going out, I still don’t go to Bangjiao’s house,
Find the three uncles first to make things worse,

Even without evidence,

Everyone knows,
Who else would dig through Shazhu's cupboard besides sticks?

Isn't this obvious?

Yi Weidong turned around and walked to the front yard,

Knocked on the open door of my grandfather's house,

Shouted: "Mom, did you see outsiders entering and leaving the compound just now?"

The big mother stopped her needlework and said:
"No outsiders came in or out, only the three children of Qin Huairu's family ran out to play."

Now it's a real hammer, let's go to cook beggar's chicken with Xiaodang and Sophora japonica!

At this time, there is no get off work, and only the three children leave school early,
There is a time for stealing.

It should be that Yi Weidong didn't lock the door when he was cleaning.

I thought it was just a brief moment,
Stick stem stole the chicken and ran out.
