A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 793 I married a daughter-in-law, but they didn't

When he was about to get home, a bad smell hit his nostrils. Wang Lidong held his breath, pedaled his bicycle vigorously, and rushed into his yard.

There is a public toilet just across the wall from his house. Zhou's father sealed up all the windows facing the toilet, but as long as it is summer, the house always has a faint smell of Xiang.

Before summer, he spent some money to get some cement and paste the wall next to the toilet again. The effect was very good, and the air quality directly reached the standard level of Jichun City.

But when it rains, the public toilet will overflow onto the road. I don’t know which bastard turtle was the one who determined the location of the public toilet, so don’t let him find out.!

"Kun'er, Uncle Liu wants you to make a round wooden dining table." Mother Zhou took the net bag from her son, and Wang Lidong greeted a middle-aged man sitting by the dining table, "Uncle Liu, what style do you want?" of?"

Uncle Liu patted the small round wooden table in his house, "It's good like this, but your table is a bit small, can you make it bigger?"

"Yes, the diameter of my table is 1.1 meters, how big do you want to make it?"

Uncle Liu made gestures for a while, and finally decided on a diameter of 1.3 meters and a height of 0.8 meters. Wang Lidong calculated that it would take about 40 kilograms of wood.

"The manual fee is 3 yuan, and we have a [-]% discount on the optical film, two yuan and four."

"Okay, two yuan and four yuan is two yuan and four yuan. I'll go back and send the wood now."

After a while, Uncle Liu sent the wood to Zhou's house. They were two old logs. Wang Lidong picked them up and weighed them. The total weight was estimated to be more than 70 kilograms.

"Bingkun, is this wood enough?"

"It's enough, there should be about ten catties left, and it can be used as two square stools."

"How much are the two stools?"

"Two stools cost [-] yuan, and you will be charged [-] yuan. Add the table, and the total is [-] yuan."

"Okay, when can I get it?"

Wang Lidong pretended to meditate for a while, "Come on Friday."

"Okay, then I'll come and get it on Friday night."

After sending Uncle Liu away, Zhou's mother immediately served dinner. Wang Lidong took out a bottle of water from the iron bucket next to the water tank for beer, and took two empty glasses to fill one for each person.

Zhou's mother picked up chopsticks and fried eggplant, "Kun'er, it takes so long to make a table?" Two days ago, it took my son just over two hours to make a rocking chair. The table used a lot of materials, but it shouldn't be necessary. Four days, right?

Wang Lidong drank a big sip of beer to feel comfortable, "Hurry up and finish work tonight."

"Then why did you ask Uncle Liu to pick it up on Friday?"

"I did it on purpose. If I work too fast, I can probably earn hundreds of dollars in a month. As a young man who just started working, I earn more than 100 dollars a month. Will our neighbors feel comfortable? Will they be jealous?"

"At that time, someone will definitely write a letter of report, telling me to go the old way of ****." Wang Lidong pointed to a big wooden box by the wall, "It's full of banned books, and if I'm found by someone with a red cloth, I'm not allowed to go in and do it." I worked hard for a few years, and after I was released, no unit would want someone like me, no job, no girl would marry me, then your son and I will be single for the rest of my life.”

"Bah, bah, bah!" Mother Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. People, apart from their parents, even brothers, they can't see a better life than themselves. By the way, Mom, someone will ask me to make furniture in the future and want to pay for us to buy wood for them. Don't promise."

"I know, if you help someone buy wood, it's considered a steal. Mom is not stupid!"

"Mom, of course you are not stupid, and you should be the smartest in our family. I have read a report that scientists have proved that children's IQ is inherited more from the mother's side."

Mother Zhou stopped her chopsticks, her eyes lit up and said, "Kun'er, where did you see that?"

"In the newspaper."

"Which day's newspaper is it?" Zhou's mother put down her chopsticks and was about to flip through the newspapers at home. Wang Lidong reached out and grabbed her, "I saw it at work, and it's been several months. Mom, why do you want that newspaper?"

"When your dad comes back, I'll show him. Your dad always said that your three brothers and sisters are so smart, and they are inherited from the old Zhou family."

"Kun'er, go to the factory tomorrow and help me find the newspaper that published this article."

"Oh, it's been several months, don't blame me if you can't find it"

After dinner, Zhou's mother took him into the back room, took out a letter from under the pillow, and stuffed it into his hand, "Your sister's letter, read it to mom quickly."

"Delivered today?"

"Well, it's in the afternoon."

Wang Lidong opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of paper. This was Zhou Rong's second letter after she eloped.

First, I greeted my old lady, and then briefly talked about her life in Guizhou. She ate well, slept soundly, and had beautiful scenery. The local people treated her very well and felt that her life was more comfortable than at home.

At the end, Zhou Rong told them not to worry, she would write a letter home every month in the future.

Seeing her son stop, Zhou's mother said, "It's gone?"

Wang Lidong shook the letter paper in his hand, "It's gone. It's just a piece of paper."

"The poet surnamed Feng, she didn't mention a word?"

"No." Wang Lidong put away the letter paper, "Mom, what did you ask Zhou Rong to write?
The person surnamed Feng is not a few years younger than you. Even if Zhou Rong praised Feng as a flower, a brilliant talent, or a reincarnation of an immortal, you would not think him a good person. "

"Okay, give me the letter, you go to work." Mother Zhou snatched the letter from his hand, and then drove him out of the house.

Typical unloading and killing donkeys!
Wang Lidong took out a cigarette, lit one, took the wood leaning against the wall, and opened the carpenter's saw
Fu Lili woke up early in the morning and found that her daughter was hot all over and kept talking nonsense. When she touched her forehead, she was scorching hot. She found a thermometer and measured her temperature at 39.5°C. She hurriedly carried her daughter to the factory clinic.

After examination by the doctor, it was common fever. Xiaodouding was given a PG injection.

Xu Dudu cried so heartbreakingly.

After Wang Lidong went to work, he learned that Xu Dudu was sick, so Fu Lili asked for a day off.

At noon, Wang Lidong first went to the cafeteria to fill his stomach, then went to the canteen of the factory, looked around the counter, and ordered two cans of canned fruit.

Fa Xiao Guoqing asked the salesperson for a nine-pack of economical cigarettes, "Bingkun, why are you buying canned fruit?"

"I'll go see Xu Dudu."

"Do you want us to go with you?"

Wang Lidong said indifferently, "It's up to you."

"Forget it, we still won't go." To see a patient, even though he is a child, he can't go empty-handed, but if he wants to buy a gift, the relationship between the two of them and Fu Lili is not that high.

"I'm leaving."

Wang Lidong came to the family courtyard with two cans of canned fruit. It was time for a lunch break, and the dormitory area was very lively. Seeing him walking into Fu Lili's house with his things, there was a wave of gossip.

"A man came into the vixen's house."

"Which workshop is it from?"

"I don't know him, I'm very unfamiliar."

"You look young"

"It should be from the incoming materials workshop. Last time I saw the two of them hooking shoulders and talking and laughing."

"Bah! Dogs and men, you are really shameless"

Wang Lidong sneered, slander!
So far, he has never even touched Fu Lili's hand!

"Why are you here?" Fu Lili was a little surprised when she saw him.

Wang Lidong put two cans of canned fruit on the table, "Come and have a look at Dudu." While talking, he looked around at Fu Lili's house. There was only one room, [-] to [-] square meters, with complete furniture and furnishings. There is also a single sofa with a small cabinet next to the sofa and a radio on the cabinet.

The balcony has been transformed into a small kitchen, but unfortunately there is no toilet room.

However, in terms of living conditions, 90% of the common people have been beaten in this era.

Wang Lidong looked at the bottles and cans and various sundries on the tables and chairs, it was so messy.

Hey, there is also a women-only one, which is still pink.
Fu Lili seemed to have noticed it too, her face flushed, she walked to the sofa, and stuffed a pile of clothes on the sofa into the closet, "I've been busy these two days, I don't have time to tidy up, the house is a little messy. Sit down quickly."

"Let me take a look at Dudu first." Wang Lidong walked to the bedside, Xu Dudu saw him, coughed twice, and called weakly, "Brother Zhou."

Wang Lidong put his hand on Xiaodouding's forehead, "Why is it so hot? Have you seen a doctor?"

"Well, I went to the clinic early in the morning and received a fever-reducing injection, but the temperature has not dropped."

Wang Lidong looked more and more wrong, took Xu Dudu's hand, felt his pulse, Fu Lili asked in surprise, "You know how to see a doctor?"

Wang Lidong gave her a silent look, the pulse condition was huge, strong like a flood, coming and going, full of fingers, flushed, sweating profusely, gasping for breath, "Does Dudu have a headache and vomiting?" symptom?"

Fu Lili nodded.

"This is not a fever, it should be purulent meningitis, commonly known as acute meningitis"

Fu Lili was taken aback. Meningitis can kill people, and the death rate is not low. "Bingkun, did you read that right?"

Wang Lidong said, "What time did you get the antipyretic injection?"

"It should have been called around 06:30."

"Normal fever, the fever subsides in half an hour, and the temperature is not right, too high." Wang Lidong picked up Xu Dudu, "We will go to the health center to issue a hospital transfer order, and then go to the third hospital."

Fu Lili didn't hesitate, she took the money, and the two went to the factory health center and issued a hospital transfer order. When they arrived at the third hospital, after a doctor's examination and diagnosis, it was indeed acute meningitis.

"If you want to be hospitalized, you have to pay first." The doctor issued a bill.

"Let me go, you look at Dudu." Wang Lidong took the form and came to the payment gate. There were not many people. After waiting for a few minutes, it was his turn, "15 yuan eight!"

It’s not cheap, but these expenses can be reimbursed by the factory, plus free room allocation. Although the wages of the workers are not high and the supplies are not abundant, the pressure on the shoulders is really not too great.

After more than two hours of treatment by the doctor, Xu Dudu's temperature finally dropped.

Fu Lili breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor said earlier that if the high fever persists, even if it is cured, there may be sequelae.

She glanced at Wang Lidong beside her, and said sincerely, "Bingkun, thank you! If you hadn't found out, Dudu. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Bingkun, thank you, Bingkun." As she spoke, the little woman dropped golden beans.

Wang Lidong took out a handkerchief from his pocket, changed the subject, "Dudu will stay for a few days, what do you plan to do?"

"Please ask me for a few days off." Her daughter is so young, Fu Lili is worried about letting her be hospitalized alone, but now there are only mother and daughter left in her family, her ex-husband can't be relied on at all, her parents were sent to the countryside Labor went.

"Can you take care of Dudu for a while, I change clothes when I get home."

"Okay," Wang Lidong took out the car keys, "Can you ride a car?"

"Yes." Fu Lili took the key, said thank you again, and hurried out of the ward.Wang Lidong sat for a while, feeling a little bored, got up and walked outside the ward, found a place where there was no one, smoked a cigarette, and went to the hospital gate to buy two newspapers.

After returning to the ward, Xiao Douding woke up after flipping through two pages of the newspaper, "Brother Zhou, where is my mother?"

"Your mother went home to get a change of clothes."

Wang Lidong continued to read the newspaper, and after a while, Xiao Douding spoke again, "Uncle Zhou, I want to drink water."

"Uncle Zhou" when it is needed, and "Brother Zhou" when it is not needed, her mother is not of this character, who did the little guy learn from?

After feeding the little guy half a glass of water, Wang Lidong sat down again, and after a while, Xu Dudu said again, "Uncle Zhou, I want to hear a story."

Wang Lidong put down the newspaper, "What story do you want to hear?"

"melodious."

Your request is simple.

Wang Lidong thought for a while, thousands of short stories floated in his mind, "Today I will tell a story about the sloppy king."

"The king of sloppy? Is it just called sloppy? Does anyone else have that name?"

"You'll know it after you hear it."

"Oh."

"There is a little boy in Hejian Village, nicknamed the Sloppy King, who has never paid attention to hygiene since he was a child, littering and eating dirty things.

The mouse kingdom's secret agent, the sharp-mouthed mouse, has taken a fancy to him"

"Uncle Zhou, do mice have a country too?"

"Um,"

"Where is it?"

"Under our feet" Seeing Xiao Douding opening his mouth again, and preparing a hundred thousand whys, Wang Lidong put on a straight face, "Xu Dudu, mother never taught you not to interject indiscriminately when others are talking, otherwise it will be very impolite?"

Xu Dudu said, "I told you."

"If you have any doubts, after I finish telling the story, you can ask again, can it be done?"

Xu Dudu nodded.

"If you interrupt uncle again, uncle will stop talking."

Xu Dudu covered his mouth with his hand, and nodded his head.

Wang Lidong continued, "The sharp-mouthed mouse fell in love with the sloppy king, so he dropped a pill in the orange water. After the sloppy king drank it, he suddenly became a villain as big as a mouse. The sloppy king tasted The bitter fruit of this, I will never be sloppy again.”

After he finished speaking, Xu Dudu's small mouth kept asking questions. After answering a few questions, Wang Lidong's head hurt a little, and he immediately used the urine escape technique.

After smoking two cigarettes at the gate, Fu Lili finally arrived. The little girl felt a little embarrassed when she saw him. She hadn't ridden a bicycle for a long time, and on the way back, she fell and broke the bell of the bicycle.

"You didn't fall, did you?"

Fu Lili took down the package in the back seat, "No. You get the bell and tell me how much it is, and I'll give it to you when the time comes."

"It's not much money for a bell." Wang Lidong took the bicycle, "Let's go, come see Dudu tomorrow."

"Ah, let's go now?"

"Well, there's still something to do later."

"Today is really troublesome for you." Fu Lili brushed her hair by her ear, "Ride slowly on the road."

"OK Bye Bye."

Wang Lidong returned to the timber factory, instead of entering the unit, he waited at the gate, smoked half of the cigarette, and then heard the bell for leaving get off work. After a while, Tu Zhiqiang rode a brand new [-] big bar and wobbled to the gate .

The two rode to the house of Tu Zhiqiang's friend who was going to get married. Tu Zhiqiang's friend was named Zhu Qi, nicknamed "Seventh Brother". Seventh Brother was taken aback when he saw Wang Lidong. Because of his trust in his brother, he didn't ask much, but his parents were a little unhappy.

As the saying goes, a carpenter has three years as an apprentice, five years and a half, and seven years as a master.

No matter how Wang Lidong looked at it, he didn't look like a master.

It took more than half of his family's savings to gather the wood needed for 36 legs. If it is ruined, it will be too late to regret it.

Although Tu Zhiqiang repeatedly assured that Wang Lidong's craftsmanship was fine, the old couple just disagreed, and the scene was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing this, Wang Lidong asked the old couple for a small piece of wood, pulled out the dagger tied to his leg, and quickly chiseled and scratched on the small piece of wood. After a while, a chubby New Year picture doll holding a big carp appeared. , appeared in front of everyone.

The little doll is carved as lifelike as a real person, and even the carp held in his hand is alive, as if it is about to jump out of the doll's palm.

This move stunned several people present on the spot, the old couple were full of praise for Wang Lidong's craftsmanship, knowing that he had graduated from carpentry in less than half a year, they praised him as the reincarnation of Lu Ban.

The business was also accepted smoothly, and the market price was 30 yuan. For Tu Zhiqiang's sake, Wang Lidong gave him a 24% discount, only [-] yuan.

Tu Zhiqiang felt more face, the little brother really has too much face.

After confirming the start time, he dragged the two of them to a state-run restaurant, where the three of them exchanged cups, which was very lively.

After drinking until the restaurant closed, Wang Lidong and Zhu Qi helped the drunken Tu Zhiqiang back to Zhu Qi's house.

"Brother Seven, Brother Qiangzi will leave it to you."

Zhu Qi waved, "Slow down on the road."

Wang Lidong came home by bike, it was already past ten o'clock, Zhou's mother was up all the time, when he got home, she smelled the alcohol on him, frowned and said, "How much wine did you drink?"

"I didn't drink much, it was all smoked by alcohol."

Seeing her son's clear eyes and clear speech, Zhou's mother knew that she hadn't fooled her, "The business is settled?"

"Well, 36 legs, 24 yuan."

Mother Zhou couldn't help saying hello several times.As the saying goes, a craftsman can't die of starvation in a time of famine, and the youngest son has a skill at his side, so no matter what happens in the future, he won't have to worry about not being able to eat.

Wang Lidong saw his old lady wiping away tears suddenly, and said in surprise, "Mom, why are you crying? Zhou Rong wrote again?"

"No, don't mention your worrying second sister!" Mother Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes, and urged her son to wash his face and go to bed, because he has to go to work tomorrow.

"Go to bed first, I'll go to bed after washing."

In the next few days, as soon as Wang Lidong got off work, he would run to the Third Hospital, each time empty-handed, fruit, malted milk, milk powder.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he has taken a fancy to Fu Lili, a fox spirit.

The thing between men and women is the most eye-catching. Within two days, rumors about the two of them spread all over the factory. Wang Lidong suddenly became a celebrity in the factory, and people pointed at him everywhere he went.

Regarding these, he didn't worry about it at all. His mouth grows on other people's faces. As long as he doesn't bark in front of him, he can say whatever he likes. One point less.

Two small persuasions to him, Fu Lili is good-looking, but she is too old, she is 26, eight years older than him, divorced, with a baby "Bingkun, can your parents promise?"

"I marry a wife, not them." Wang Lidong checked the time, got off work immediately, put down the cigarette in his mouth, and rode his bicycle to the Third Hospital.

Today is the day when Xu Dudu was discharged from the hospital. Two days ago, Xiao Douding's temperature returned to normal, but Fu Lili was worried, so she let her stay in for two more days.

When the three happily returned to the factory dormitory, Fu Lili cooked a table of dishes, and the three toasted to celebrate Xu Dudu's freedom.

When she was full of wine and food, Fu Lili gave her daughter a new comic book and told her to read comic books obediently at home, "Bingkun, I have something to tell you, let's go to the storage yard for a walk."

Wang Lidong glanced at the little woman, stood up and said, "Okay."
