Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 65 Moving to a New Home

September 9st, Tuesday, today is the day to move to a new house.

Comrade Xiao Du took a break on purpose, and Wang Yang also took a break together. Wang Xiao happened to be on the night shift, so he was there too.

And starting from tomorrow, Comrade Xiao Du will start working the day shift, he is no longer a night owl, and will only work the night shift in the second half of the month, taking turns with Wang Xiao.

In addition to Wang Yang and Wang Xiao, there are Yu Huaihai, Xiangbei, Yu Moli, Huang Guilan, Yin Laoliu, Cui Carpenter, and Bart.

Mr. Xiang and Wang Yang were envoyed by Du Weiguo to the Zuojia Commune early in the morning to pick up Aunt Zuo and Zuo Lan.

Except for Jiang Dongfang and Hao Shanhe, the rest are basically the friends Du Weiguo met after crossing.

The scene was quite lively.

I said I was moving, but I didn’t have many things at all, not even a piece of furniture, except for the bedding, bed sheets and curtains made by Huang Guilan, clothes, pants, shoes and hats, and some pots and pans, water cups, teapots, thermos bottles, books, the only valuable things Just a radio.

It took less than an hour to move and tidy up the house. Professionals like Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter were present, and it was done in an instant.

The bed in the bedroom is all army green, as are the curtains.

All other things are put into the cabinet by category, and the outside is clean, with a simple storage style for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Huang Guilan made cotton cushions for the desk chair and the four chairs in the living room, and they were all army green, even if they were housewarming gifts from her borrowing flowers to present Buddha.

The whole house is displayed outside, only four awards on the wall on the right hand side of the living room, the radio is on the left of the chest of drawers in the bedroom, a small pendulum clock is on the right, and two small photo frames are placed on the desk.

One is a family portrait taken by Grandpa Du Weiguo when he was alive, and the other is a military uniform photo taken by Xiao Du when he was a soldier.

In addition, there is no display at all, and everything is stored.

Comrade Xiao Du was very satisfied with his new home. It was clean and tidy, simple and at attention, and it was his ideal house.

Being invited by Comrade Xiao Du to move house proves that Xiao Du regards them as friends, so everyone also gave gifts.

Yu Huaihai gave Xiao Du a complete set of tea sets, rare white porcelain, very expensive, he knew Xiao Du liked simple things.

To the north, I sent Xiao Du two thermos bottles, 6 army green tea mugs, a large laundry tub, and 3 washbasins with white and green sides, which are absolutely affordable.

Wang Xiao gave Xiao Du a set of solid-color kitchen dishes, a total of sixteen pieces.

Yu Moli gave Xiao Du a set of hardcover Outlaws of the Marsh and a set of hardcover Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Yin Lao Liu gave Du Weiguo a small self-sounding watch, trusting the store to find someone to find it, and spent a total of 8 yuan, which was also done with care.

Carpenter Cui gave Xiaodu a small bookcase, which fits right next to the desk. The color and size fit perfectly. Xiaodu was very satisfied, and he probably already designed it.

Bart gave Xiao Du a very exquisite Mongolian knife with a silver handle and a silver sheath. I didn't refuse any more.

The gift Wang Yang sent was completely beyond Comrade Du's imagination, it was actually a box of cigarette holders.

Well, that's right, it is a wooden filter cigarette holder, a box of 16 cigarettes, with cotton in the cigarette holder, which can be washed and replaced with cotton after use, so that it can be used repeatedly.

The cigarette holder was pear wood, painted black.

This gift is really thoughtful. Among all the gifts, it should be the least valuable, but Xiao Du likes it very much.

Cigarettes in this era basically don't have filters. If you don't talk about it, your mouth will be full of smoke residue after a while.

This gift is very sweet.

Comrade Xiao Du will accept all the gifts as they are ordered, friends, we must have them.

The new home did not turn on the fire for cooking, but still lit the stove to boil a pot of water, and everyone drank a cup of tea.

Even if it's a hot pot.

In summer, if you don't cook on the stove in the kitchen, that guy is connected to the fire wall.

In summer, it can be done outside with a small coal stove, and it is usually stored in the warehouse, taken out when needed, and returned after use.

This time Aunt Zuo and Zuo Lan also arrived. Seeing Xiao Du's new home, Aunt Zuo and Zuo Lan just felt that it was outrageously clean and bright, but they didn't think it was very good, and even felt a little simple. This is probably the aesthetic gap of the times. .

Cleaning up everything neatly, Huang Guilan washed all the used teacups and mugs like a hostess, and put them back to the place Xiao Du originally designated.

She has already seen that Comrade Xiao Du is a little too particular about cleanliness. She doesn't understand the word obsessive-compulsive disorder, but she understands it.

Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Du didn't ask for these things when he was outside.

At 11:20, the doors and windows were closed, and a large group of people went to the Red Star Hotel.

It was the first time for Zuo Lan to eat in a restaurant, so he was very excited.

As early as 10 days ago, Comrade Xiao Du had already made a reservation, and yesterday during the day he came to pay the deposit in advance and ordered food.

The Red Star Hotel is on the second floor, and there are private rooms on the upper floor. There is no private room fee or low consumption requirements, but reservations are required.

And the waiters generally don't like to accept. Without him, not to mention the trouble of going upstairs, it is also difficult to clean up.

There is no connection, relationship, it is really difficult to do it for a while.

But Comrade Xiao Du left a good impression on the two waitress sisters, so there must be no problem, and he opened a large private room with 12 seats for him.

To say that in such a large restaurant, only two waiters are drunk, this is unbelievable in later generations.

Because they are only responsible for ordering and paying the bill, they don't care about serving food or wine, and they have to take their own food and drink here, so they are quite busy.

Today is the day when Comrade Xiao Du moves to a new house, and it is also the day when he gathers his contacts since time travel. At the same time, Comrade Xiao Du has also made a plan. From today onwards, he will start a low-key life.

In the future, I will no longer be extravagant, and after spending a lot of money on the house, there will indeed be no major expenditures.

In addition to supporting Zuo Lan's family with 5 yuan and Wang Yang's 6 yuan every month.

The rest is the money for eating and smoking, 20 yuan is already very sufficient.

There is a small surplus every month.

So Comrade Xiao Du's hand is quite big today.

12 people ordered a total of 14 dishes, not only big dishes, stews, stir-fries, cold dishes, but also lady beets.

Big dishes, Dongpo elbow, braised carp, Jiaoliu meatballs, chicken stewed mushrooms.

Stewed vegetables, pork cabbage and tofu vermicelli, pork bean and potato vermicelli.

Stir-fried vegetables, vinegared Mushu, fried celery powder, fried peppers with meat, and tomato sticks in sauce.

Cold dishes, yellow uncooked rice, cucumber mixed with jellyfish.

Beets, candied sweet potatoes, snowy bean paste.

The staple food, 12 plates of dumplings, plus 12 steamed buns.

After all, there is such a big eater as Bart.

In 1963, with just this table, it was definitely no different from the seafood feast of later generations, 8888
The wine is Fenjiu, I brought it myself.

Aunt Zuo is not in good health, so she and Zuo Lan can drink soft drinks.

Comrade Xiao Du didn't have so much work to do. After the dishes were served, he raised his glass first:

"The people sitting here today are all my good friends of Du Weiguo. I have no relatives in this Forty-Nine City. From now on, you will be my relatives and friends. I am moving to a new house today. Thank you for your support. I have done it! "

In fact, Yu Huaihai and Xiangbei, including Yu Moli, are fine, after all, they all played together to grow up.

Aunt Zuo and Zuo Lan are fine, they have already recognized their god-in-law before, they can barely be regarded as relatives, and they are over excited.

Bart was also very calm, because of the trust and support Du Weiguo gave him before, he already regarded Comrade Xiao Du as a relative in his heart.

Wang Xiao, Wang Yang was a little excited. After all, they knew that Du Weiguo was following in the factory and had a bright future. In other words, they would be their own people in the future. The real lineage was a big step forward compared to ordinary friends and colleagues.

Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter were so excited. The two of them, especially Yin Laoliu, were born recklessly. They follow suit in the true sense, as long as they don't fight to the death, no one will be able to handle them casually.

As for Huang Guilan, that would be wonderful, it can be said to be a thousand times.
