Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 148 Gifts
Director Yang lives in Xiaobailou.

It is said that Yu Deshun, the dung head of the capital city, built a two-story small building for fifteen aunts and wives, with ten houses on each floor.

According to folklore, Yu Deshun draws a red-chip lottery from a blue-and-white porcelain pot every night to decide which concubine to spend the night with.

Later, after liberation, the manure field was demolished, and Yu Deshun, who was rampant for a while, disappeared.

Xiaobailou was also nationalized and distributed to the leaders of the Red Star Rolling Mill as a family building.

Xiaobailou is not far from the courtyard where Wang Weidong lives, and it only takes about ten minutes by bicycle.

When visiting the house for the first time, always prepare some gifts.

On the way, Lou Xiaoe wanted Wang Weidong to stop the car.

She went to the supply and marketing agency to buy a few bottles of Moutai and gave them to Director Yang.

But Wang Weidong stopped him by shaking his head.

Wang Weidong knows people like Director Yang too well, he is upright and has a very straight head, and the way of later generations will not work at all.

However, he has prepared a gift that Director Yang cannot refuse.

Although Lou Xiaoe felt that it was inappropriate not to bring a gift, she did not insist.

Wang Weidong is her god.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the setting sun cast a faint golden light on the small white building.

The children playing in the yard and the smell of food in the air make people feel the warm breath of life instantly.

Climb up to the third floor in one breath, and knock twice on the light blue wooden door.

The door shaft makes a "squeak" sound when it rubs against the ground.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman in a yellow sweater with short hair at the ears opened the door.

Judging by her age and clothes, she should be Mrs. Yang.

"Auntie, I'm Wang Weidong from the rolling mill. Is Director Yang there?" Wang Weidong took half a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, and stepped on the threshold with one foot.

Factory manager Yang manages more than 2 workers, and many people ask him to do things. Mrs. Yang must have been specially explained as a family member.

This kind of thing is most afraid of being rejected.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Weidong's name: "You are Comrade Wang Weidong, Lao Yang is still talking about you when he came back today, come in quickly!"

Wang Weidong and Lou Xiaoe entered the door.

The interior decoration is much better than that of courtyard houses.

Two bedrooms, the kitchen is separate, curtains are hung at the door, and the sound of spatulas rubbing against iron pans can be heard from inside.

The floor is matte concrete with green paint on the dado.

This is called the sanitary wall, which is unique to the leading family courtyard in this era.

There are sofas and coffee tables in the living room. Although they all look old and there are patches in some places, it is already rare.

The two put on slippers under Madam Yang's call. Wang Weidong sat on the sofa, and the spring under his buttocks contracted, making him very comfortable.

I want to make a sofa too!
Lou Xiaoe was much more generous and sat down slowly.

"Gram, do you have a guest?"

At this time, Director Yang stuck his head out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula.

Seeing Wang Weidong, he was a little surprised, wiped his hands quickly, and walked out.

"Weidong, why are you here? Also, isn't this Xiao'e? You are."

Director Yang's eyes fell on Lou Xiao'e, and he couldn't figure it out.

He knew Lou Xiao'e. Lou Bancheng had members of the rolling mill, and the two often met.

I just didn't expect Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e to come together.

However, didn't it mean that Lou Bancheng wanted to promise Lou Xiao'e to Xu Damao?

Why did he become Wang Weidong now?
interesting!
"Have you two eaten yet?" Director Yang stared at the two with great interest.

Wang Weidong was not polite, he said carelessly, "Not yet."

"That's a coincidence, it's a common meal, don't dislike it." Director Yang said to Mrs. Yang beside him: "Old woman, bring out the dishes, and bring the half bottle of Moutai in the cupboard by the way. I want to have a drink with Weidong for two." cup."

"Wait!" Wang Weidong called to stop Mrs. Yang who was about to enter the kitchen, and took out a bag from the padded jacket.

Seeing the bag, Director Yang's face darkened.

I thought Wang Weidong was a person who was strict with himself, but he didn't expect to engage in such small tricks.

What a disappointment!
He was about to get angry, Wang Weidong opened the bag on his own, and took out a furry thing from it, which had a black wire behind its buttocks.

"What is this?" Director Yang suppressed his anger and frowned.

"This is a hot water bottle, but it is plug-in, and it only takes two to three minutes to heat up." Wang Weidong explained.

"Why did you give me this thing?" Director Yang looked serious.These days, anything that can use electricity is not cheap.

He was about to drive Wang Weidong out, but Mrs. Yang fixed her eyes on the hot water bottle and couldn't take it away: "You mean, this hot water bottle doesn't need to be changed?"

She suffers from old cold legs. In winter, her knees hurt so badly that she has to use a hot water bottle to compress her body every day.

However, the old-fashioned hot water bag requires frequent replacement of hot water, which is very troublesome.

The electric hot water bottle is a magic tool for Mrs. Yang.

However, she did not reach out to take the hot water bottle, but turned her questioning gaze to Director Yang.

Director Yang also understood when he saw his wife's appearance.

He hesitated a little, the principle he had insisted on for a long time made him unable to accept this gift.

But this hot water bottle is really important to my wife.

The two are young children from a young family, and they have a very good relationship.

The conditions were difficult back then, and it was Mrs. Yang who braved the ice and snow to dig wild vegetables, so that Director Yang survived.

However, she also suffered from the problem of old cold legs.

Pursing his lips, Director Yang finally made a choice, and saw his face flushed slightly: "Your aunt's legs always hurt in winter, and you need this thing, I'm not welcome!"

"You are welcome, you are uncles and aunts. As a junior, shouldn't it be my duty to respect a little gadget?" Wang Weidong said cheekily.

Director Yang raised his eyelids and was speechless.

Cough, forget that this kid is so good at climbing!
He regretted it a bit!

Wang Weidong doesn't care whether Director Yang regrets it or not.

I belong to the leech family, so this nephew is definitely for me.

"Auntie, look, this is a plug, just put..."

Standing up, he took the initiative to teach Mrs. Yang how to use the electric hot water bottle, and tested the safety along the way.

If Mrs. Yang was really electrified, his crime would be serious.

Fortunately, although Jiang Deming is a second-hand scientist, his skills are good.

In less than 3 minutes, the hot water bottle started to burn, gurgled, and then automatically cut off the power.

The only inconvenience is that there is no red indicator light like in the previous life.

"Weidong, thank you so much, auntie!"

Mrs. Yang hugged the hot water bottle in her arms, but couldn't close her mouth.

This electric hot water bottle is much more convenient than the old-fashioned hot water bottle. She no longer has to worry about getting up to change the hot water in the cold night.

Plug in the plug, and the hot water bottle is ready!
"You wait, I'll serve the dishes, your uncle fried hot and sour Chinese cabbage today."

Then he turned and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Well, my wife has already been bribed, so it's meaningless to be stubborn.

Mrs. Yang had just left. Director Yang sat down on the sofa and looked at Wang Weidong meaningfully: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
