Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 34 The calf is sick
Under Bai Wanxi's urging, Niu Zhijun got on his bicycle and went to the logistics office to ask old man Zuo for materials.

There are red bricks, yellow sand, and quicklime in the logistics warehouse, but no cement.

Cement is a controlled substance, and Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant can only distribute dozens of tons per year.

Niu Zhijun is going to use quicklime instead of cement.

In these years, when building houses in rural areas, yellow clay is usually mixed with straw, and quicklime is used only when conditions are good.

Dig a hole in the ground, put quicklime in it, and pour water over it.

After a while, the quicklime began to boil, belching white smoke, and gradually turned into mature lime.

Slaked lime can be used to build walls instead of cement, but its strength and weather resistance are far inferior to cement.

The repair stand has to bear the load of a truck weighing more than three tons. If it is not made stronger, it will easily collapse.

Once it collapses, the whole village will go to Bai Wanxi's house for dinner.

In the end, Wang Weidong asked Niu Zhijun to go to the logistics office again, owed the old man Zuo a meal, and brought back two cement tickets.

Since cement is a heavy item, the general supply and marketing cooperatives and stores will not have stocks.

Wang Weidong could only drive a truck to the Liulihe Cement Factory.

Located in Fangshan, Liulihe Cement Factory is the earliest cement factory in Beijing.

Formerly known as North China Cement Co., Ltd., the factory was established in 1939.

At that time, the heads of all the factories in the factory were from RIBEN. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they were taken over by GUOMIN. In 1948, the capital was liberated and was taken over by JUNGUANZU.

Cement is a controlled material in a special period.

In recent years, as the situation eased, cement tickets were issued to the private sector.

The billowing black smoke from the tall chimneys dyed the nearby sky pale gray.

Instead of complaining, the nearby residents are happy to live near this well-known factory.

The cement factory is very large, with railway tracks and a small train inside.

Wang Weidong handed over two cement bills and three yuan and fifty cents to the salesperson.

A thin old man, covered in dust, as if crawling out of the mud.

On a cold day, I walked into the warehouse wearing a long gown, a towel of invisible color on my head, and no mask.

After a while, he took out a bag of cement with his thin shoulders, shrugged his shoulders, and easily threw it onto the truck.

A [-]-jin cement bag is like a ball of cotton.

These days, although people are undernourished, pale and emaciated, their strength is not small.

Even the lesbians in the factory can easily lift a channel steel weighing more than 50 kilograms, of course, Qin Huairu's lazy stuff is not counted.

Soon, ten bags of cement were packed.

Wang Weidong drove the truck back to the factory.

Niu Zhijun had already prepared the blue bricks, and borrowed a master chef who claimed to have built a pigsty from the third workshop, as if his hometown was Nantai Commune.

Before noon, a few people covered in dust and built a car repair stand.

The old white led two maintenance workers into the vehicle repair station, picked up the electric welder and began to weld the iron sheet and channel steel to the girder.

While spot welding, he stretched out his head: "Weidong, it's much more comfortable here, you boy, you have some skills."

"In the evening, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook some dishes and come over to eat together."

In the era of lack of food and clothing, please eat is the best way to express gratitude.

Wang Weidong declined with a smile: "Let's wait until next time, I've had enough food these two days."

The salary of a repairman is much lower than that of a truck driver, which is comparable to that of an ordinary worker.

Laobai has worked for a long time, earning 37 yuan a year. There are three and a half children in the family, and the daughter-in-law has no job.

Everyone can't eat enough, will Wang Weidong be full?
Lao Bai understood that Wang Weidong was saving money for him, his expression moved, and he nodded heavily.

My gratitude is beyond words.

With the car repair station, Bai Wanxi and the two apprentices can go into battle at the same time.

The lights of the three welding torches flickered, and it took only two hours to weld the truck frame.

Of course, if two channel steels and three iron sheets were rough wrapped around the girder, the truck would not disintegrate for the time being.If you call it repaired, then it is indeed repaired.

Truck drivers usually work hard on the road, but they are very leisurely in the factory. As long as they don't drive, they are all days off.

Wang Weidong squinted for a while in the dispatching room, and was about to wander back to the courtyard.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a fiery voice: "Where is my brother, what about my brother, something happened, something happened!"

This voice is somewhat familiar.
Before Wang Weidong could remember, a large Niu Zhijun in a red padded jacket and pigtails barged in.

Valkyrie, Niu Dahong!
Niu Dahong panicked and panted, and the white hot air from her mouth covered her frightened face.

"Dahong, what happened?" Wang Weidong stood up and stretched.

He was no stranger to Niu Dahong's fiery temper.

"Brother Wei Dong, where's my brother?" Niu Dahong grinned, his eyes were slightly red, and he was about to cry.

Wang Weidong realized that something serious might really have happened, so he hurried over: "Your brother is in the repair shop, watch Lao Bai and the others maintain the car."

With that said, he took Niu Dahong to the repair workshop.

Inside the repair shop, the truck lid is open.

Lao Bai was holding an oil can, adding oil to the truck.

Niu Zhijun and the two apprentices stood by and watched.

Seeing Niu Dahong like this, Niu Zhijun immediately went up to meet him: "Dahong, what's wrong, who bullied you?"

This sentence made Lao Bai and the two apprentices next to him curl their lips.

With her figure and strength, who would dare to bully her!

"Brother, Maverick. Maverick has a stomachache." Niu Dahong couldn't even speak in a hurry.

Xiao Niu is Niu Zhijun's kid, cute and cute, and always likes to listen to Wang Weidong talking about sports cars.

The tension on Niu Zhijun's face suddenly disappeared, and he said indifferently: "Stomach hurts, just drink some hot water, is it worth it for you to come all the way?"

"My stomach hurts so badly, I rolled on the ground, my sister-in-law and I couldn't hold it down." Niu Dahong stamped his feet anxiously.

"Isn't it just a stomachache? Let that kid hurt for a while. I still have tasks tonight, so I can't delay." Niu Zhijun frowned.

"That's a Maverick!" Niu Dahong was furious when he heard this, and swung his fist the size of a sandbag, about to hit Niu Zhijun.

"Dahong, don't worry." Wang Weidong hastily stepped forward to stop her.

Niu Dahong gritted his teeth, with a cold face: "Brother Weidong, you don't know, the calf is in severe pain, lying on the bed, screaming."

Going to the hospital is a rare thing these days, and minor illnesses and disasters pass away with a single fight.

Even children are very skinny.

The last time the calf fell from a one-meter-high wall, his head was broken, but he didn't cry.

This time it looks really serious.

Stomach pain. The problem can be big or small
Wang Weidong's heart moved, he stepped forward, looked at Niu Dahong, and asked with concern: "Is it because the upper part of the stomach hurts, and then the lower part of the stomach hurts?"

"And, high fever, rapid heartbeat?"

Niu Dahong raised his head, with a surprised expression: "Yes, brother, how do you know?"

"The calf started to hurt in the morning. My sister-in-law didn't care, and let him drink two bowls of boiled water. I didn't let him eat lunch either."

"Who knew that just after noon, I started to have a high fever, and I kept covering my stomach, and my little face turned white with pain."

Niu Dahong said with distressed expression on his face.

As an unmarried old girl, she usually lives in Niu's house, and she has a childlike personality, playing crazy with Mavericks all day long.The calf and chick were like her own children.

How do I know. Because I've had this kind of disease, and it almost killed me.

It was a location shoot, on an island.

Wang Weidong didn't want to go at first, but he was offered a lot.

As a result, as soon as the passenger ship left the island, my stomach began to hurt.

Pained all day and night before being sent to the hospital.
