Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 52 Wangyugou Brigade

Yi Weidong pushed the tricycle out of the compound,
First, ride to Deshengmen,

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, I bought a pack of peach cakes, half a catty of fruit sugar, a catty of white sugar and a catty of apricot round biscuits.

Today I plan to go to Wang Zhiguo's village in Changping to thank Wang Zhiguo and see if I can buy fat pigs in the village.

Don't think it's too light to come to the door with only 4 gifts.

At this time, friends get married with a gift of [-] cents and they can have a banquet.

A gift from a relative is only one yuan.

Yi Weidong's offer is more than 2 yuan,

It's already a great gift,

And that's without counting the price of the ticket.

When approaching Deshengmen, turn into an empty alley,

Then waited for half an hour with empty hands,
Only boarded the No. 345 bus bound for Changping.

The bus bound for the suburbs must stop at every stop,
The road condition is not good, it is wobbly,

Put up with the bad smell mix

Bumping all the way for more than two hours,

Just came to Changping.

It's almost 11 o'clock now,

I saw the No. 357 bus bound for Gaoyakou in the small parking lot.

Yi Weidong came out of the parking lot again,
Come to the ticket hall,

After queuing for more than 10 minutes, it was Yi Weidong's turn to buy a ticket.

"Buy a ticket for No. 357 to Wangyugou."

"Departure at 11:[-], twenty seven cents."

Yi Weidong was taken aback for a moment,
It takes an hour to get in the car!
The conductor urged:

"Do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, what kind of queue will you stand in!"

Yi Weidong quickly said, "Buy one."

Pay the money and hand it over, don't you have to ride a three-wheeled ride?

There are still dozens of miles to go!
Receive the ticket from the conductor,

Yi Weidong left the waiting room,
There is a state-run hotel not far away.
There are not many people eating out,
walked in,

There is a large price list on one wall.

2Two steamed buns are worth 4 points each.
One or two red bean paste buns are 6 points,
The clean pork section costs ninety cents.
In addition to asking for money, you also need to pay the corresponding food stamps or meat stamps.

Yi Weidong didn't have many tickets in his hand,

Still not willing to spend here.

from the beginning to the end,
Yi Weidong saw that there are meat casserole noodles and shredded pork soup noodles that only need food stamps.
It's just that the price is much more expensive.
In front of the counter on Yiwei East Road, he said:
"Have a bowl of chicken nugget casserole."

"Three taels of food stamps, fifty-five cents."

Yi Weidong paid the money and ticket,

Received a small wooden sign and handed it to the waiter behind the cement counter,

Find an empty seat and sit down,

About four to five minutes later, the employee shouted, "A bowl of chicken nugget casserole noodles."

Yi Weidong walked over and brought it back himself,
At this time, everyone is the master of the new China,

The waiter won't bring it to you.

Didn't he become a servant?
It's fine if the waiter doesn't hit you.

Yi Weidong saw more than one ridiculous slogan:
Customers cannot be assaulted for no reason.

Listen, if you have a reason, you can beat customers at will.

Such slogans can be seen in grain stores, meat stalls at food stations, and supply and marketing cooperatives.

Yi Weidong waited in the waiting room until he boarded the No. 11 bus on time at 357:[-],

It was a bit past one o'clock before I arrived at Wangyugou Station.

From this platform go north along a dirt road in a ravine,
It took another seven or eight miles to reach the Wangyugou brigade where Wang Zhiguo was.

If there is no bus passing by here,
Just ride the bike by yourself,
Not even a day.

Wait for the bus to go away,

Yi Weidong released the tricycle and the four gifts he had prepared,

After riding along the dirt road for a long time, I saw the village.

Entering the village stopped two children who were playing and asked:

"Tell me where Wang Zhiguo is? Let me give you a piece of fruit candy, okay?"

The two children glanced at each other and said in unison, "There is no such person."

Yi Weidong almost cried,

Wake up in the morning and arrive at the place in the afternoon,
When I asked for directions, he said that there was no such person.

At this time, an old man passed by,
Yi Weidong stopped him and said, "Master, ask someone."

He took out Albanian cigarettes from his pocket, took out two cigarettes and handed them to the uncle,

After the uncle took it, Yi Weidong put one back,
After lighting it,
He asked, "Master, does Wang Zhiguo belong to this village?"

"It's still foreign cigarettes!"

The old man thought about it and said:
"We don't have this person here, are you going the wrong way?"

"Isn't this the Wangyugou Brigade?"

Listening to me, I suspect that I went wrong,

I clearly remember that I got off the bus and headed northwest.

There is no other way!

"It's the Wangyugou brigade, but I don't know who it is when you name it." The old man replied.

Only then did Yi Weidong realize that he hadn't asked Wang Zhiguo's nickname,

Confused, it's like being in a rolling mill, you can ask a fool to know,

If you talk about He Yuzhu, you'll say you don't know him.

Yi Weidong said, "He's a soldier, with short hair and a square face."

The old man suddenly realized: "You are talking about Wang Tiedan, he just came back this year when he served in the army."

No wonder Wang Zhiguo didn't tell Yi Weidong his nickname!

Tiedan, what a country-style name,
Every village has names like Tie Dan, Hu Zi, and Gou Sheng.
It would be strange if not!
"Yes, that should be it, thank you, sir." Yi Weidong quickly thanked him.

It was not easy, and finally found a place.

The old man said to the two children: "San Mao and Si Mao, you two take him to Tie Dan's house."

The taller Sanmao asked, "Will you give us the fruit candies back?"

Yi Weidong took out two fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the younger brothers, saying:

"You climb into the tricycle and tell me how to get there."

Waiting for Sanmao and Simao to climb into the car,

Sanmao showed the way first, and said to his younger brother:
"Brother, don't eat it yet. I'll bite half of it and give you the rest. When you get home, give the candy to your brother and sister."

Simao said childishly: "Okay! Brother and sister have never eaten candy!"

Yi Weidong looked pitiful, took out two more fruit candies and handed them to Sanmao, saying:
"Reward you two more."

This fruit candy is sold at a supply and marketing cooperative for a penny.
A catty can weigh more than 120,

You can know that each one is not big,

Sanmao could still think of her older brothers and sisters at home, so Yi Weidong gave them two more.

Under the guidance of Sanmao, he twisted and turned to a courtyard with three main stone houses.

Sanmao said: "This is Wang Tiedan's house, thank you big brother for the candy."

Yi Weidong fastened the car, and after thinking about it, he released three silver carp into the car.

I can't go back today,

I have to eat and stay here again tonight,
Pushing open the concealed door, Yi Weidong shouted:
"Is this Wang Zhiguo's house?"

"Here we come!" Wang Zhiguo's voice sounded from inside the room.

Then Wang Zhiguo came out.

He froze for a moment and said, "It's you! Yi Weidong, why are you here?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Brother Zhiguo, let me come and see you."

Wang Zhiguo yelled to let Yi Weidong enter the house,

Yi Weidong said, "I came here on a tricycle."

After speaking, he went out of the courtyard gate and pushed the tricycle into the courtyard.

Wang Zhiguo looked at the four biscuits and three fish in the car, and said:

"Look at you, you still bring something, don't do that next time."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "It's not for you, it's none of your business if I bring it to grandpa and aunt."

After Yi Weidong finished speaking, he carried his net bag and fish and followed into the main room.
