I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 105, Chen Sesame Rotten Millet

"For many years, the second uncle asked you about something. Is the automatic water pump you got today working? How long will it last? How much did it cost?"

Liu Haizhong's words immediately made Yi Zhonghai and Lao Xu prick up their ears, staring at him for many years and becoming serious.

The four people at the table are all old alcoholics. Although they rarely drink alcohol, they really hold a lot of alcohol.

For many years, he filled the old man with wine and said with a smile:

"Second uncle, you asked this question, how should I answer you?"

"The automatic water pump must be useful. After all, I'm already using it. If it doesn't work, I won't spend money on it, right?"

"Yes, yes, you have been right for many years, what else?" Liu Haizhong echoed, with a taste of flattery, and his small eyes were full of desire for knowledge.

The other party was very urgent, but after many years, he became more and more leisurely. He took a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said lazily:
"How long will it last? I dare not say for 50 years, but there is no problem at all for a dozen or 20 years. During the period, it may be damaged or the parts may be damaged. If you repair it, it will not be a big problem to use it for 40 to [-] years. "

hiss!
Old Xu and the three of them couldn't help but gasped.

The three of them are all workers in the rolling mill. Although they have different levels, they are all people who deal with machines every day. They are very familiar with machines.

A machine that can operate freely for more than ten years does not need to be repaired in the middle. After repairs, it can last for three to forty years. Such a machine is already very good.

Seeing their expressions, I have not been very complacent for many years, but continued to say lightly:

"As for how much this automatic water pump cost, I bought the parts myself in Xidan. It cost a total of 11 yuan. Adding in the purchase of water pipes, it cost about 13 yuan."

For this price, everyone does not think it is expensive. An automatic water pump of 11 yuan can be used for such a long time, which is completely worthwhile.

You know, the winter in Beijing is very cold, and the whole winter lasts at least five months, which is quite long.

Every winter, every time when washing clothes, the fingers of aunts will burst, which is very scary.

And the aunts are still reluctant to use cream, it lasts like this for several months, no one can bear it.

With the tap water brought by the automatic pump, it is much more convenient.

"For many years, how does the second uncle usually treat you?"

Liu Haizhong asked with a smile, licking his face so close to him, he mentioned something from a long time ago:
"Do you still remember when you were in junior high school? It was not long after the founding of the country..."

"There was a time when you got into a fight...Old Xu, remember? At that time you almost broke your third child, if it wasn't for me..."

Do you have the nerve to talk about this matter of Chen Zhima and rotten millet?

His complexion has not changed for many years, and he already wants to scold his mother very much.

Through the original body's memory, he naturally 'looked' at that incident back then.

It was simply because he was fighting with people outside, and when Lao Xu found out, he tied him up and beat him at the door of his house. Two canes were broken and a broom was broken.

At that time, Lao Xu was extremely furious. He was persuaded by Liu Haizhong, otherwise he would have broken the second broom.

But later, he was told to go to the police station, and he directly paid 10 yuan (the new currency had not yet been issued at that time, and 1 yuan in the old currency was equivalent to one yuan in the new currency). Strangling to death for many years counts.

You know, my family has been admitted to junior high school for many years, and the other children are very average. They dropped out of school before graduating from elementary school.

Being admitted to junior high school was pretty impressive back then. Anyway, there were only a few courtyard houses nearby at that time, and there was only one junior high school student for many years.

In order to pay for his schooling for many years, Lao Xu spent a lot of money, including the money he lost in the fight, which is more than 100 yuan now.

This matter was regarded as a disgrace by the original body and was rarely mentioned.

Every time someone mentions it, he will turn black, and even become very angry, wanting to hit someone.

The reason why I went to the army later also has something to do with this.

Unexpectedly, after hiding for five years, it was still mentioned.

It's just that, unlike when he was young and frivolous, full of joy and anger, he has seen it a lot in the past many years, and faces it calmly and calmly.

Lao Xu glanced at his third son, and saw that the latter's expression hadn't changed, he was very satisfied.

After this kid returned from the army, he seemed to be a different person. If this kid's appearance hadn't changed much from a few years ago, he would have thought this wasn't his son.

"The third child was very naughty before, that's all in the past..."

With a piece of cucumber in his hands, Old Xu responded lightly.

Liu Haizhong's face froze for a moment, and Yi Zhonghai next to him suddenly felt amused, this old Liu really does not open any pots and carry which pots!

It is understandable to ask for help and bring the relationship closer to each other.

But is Lao Liu closer?
That is adding salt to the wounds of many years.

However, Old Liu thought he was smart, and he didn't know how dissatisfied he was under his calm expression for many years.

"Hehe, for so many years, the second uncle treats you very well. Look at this automatic water pump, can you teach the second uncle a lesson?"

"..." I have been speechless for many years, why do I feel that the other party is swearing?

Is there anyone who calls himself an uncle?
And the other party asked him to do something, that's it?

Let me teach you a lesson, the face is really big!
Automatic water pumps are easy to make if someone who understands the principles and has the ability to buy materials.

But in this day and age, knowledge is priceless.

Even many intellectuals don't know that there is such an automatic water pump, let alone make it.

Old Xu's face changed when he heard this, and then he calmed down again.

He is also speechless to Lao Liu's cheeky request. He just wants to steal the production method of the water pump after a meal of wine?
Want to eat fart!

Old Xu scoffed at this.

In the past, Lao Xu was still worried that his third son would be fooled by Lao Liu, but now, he has to watch his third son, and don't let the third son fool Lao Liu into lameness.

"Second uncle, do you know how I learned how to make this water pump?"

Many years suddenly opened his mouth, and Lao Liu froze for a moment, then asked with a frown:

"How did you learn?"

But he was slandered in his heart, he didn't want to know, he just wanted to know how to make it.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to laugh, sure enough, how could this little fox be so easy to fool for so many years?

Old Xu didn't say a word, and took a sip of his own, squinting his eyes happily to enjoy the drink.

Not to mention, the free drinks are delicious!

"Second uncle, do you really want to know?" Many Nian asked with raised eyebrows.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face darkened, and before he could speak, he heard the same words for many years:

"Second uncle, I got this method in exchange for my life when I was serving in the army. I won't go into details about how I did it..."

Immediately, he lifted up his clothes, revealing the hideous scar on his back that was long with one finger, and said calmly:

"Here, it's the scar that got it."

"It's said that soldiers eat food and get paid to go home, but most people can take their lives home, which is very good..."

"So, second uncle, let me teach you as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, can't you justify it?"

hiss!
Lao Liu was extremely embarrassed at the moment, pouring wine for many years in a hurry, saying apologetic words in his mouth, choosing nice words to say.

In order to resolve the embarrassment and ease the atmosphere.

Old Xu's eyes turned red, and he immediately raised his head to drink, and then lowered his head to eat, without making a sound.

Yi Zhonghai was also filled with emotion, life is always difficult, and many people who seem to have a glamorous life also have unknown sad pasts.

For example, he himself, without the pain of his offspring, who would understand?
After taking a few sips of wine, seeing that the other party wanted to continue pouring wine, he hurriedly stopped it for many years, saying it was slow.

Immediately, he pointed to Lao Xu and Yi Zhonghai, and said to drink with them, they hold alcohol well.

Liu Haizhong was speechless, why did he drink?Isn't it just to please you so that you can teach me how to make a water pump.

Seeing that he really didn't want to drink after many years, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to give up.

However, it is not easy to speak now.

Since this road is blocked, it will be no problem to buy the materials and make them for many years, right?

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table changed again.

Yi Zhonghai also wants to pick up the leak at this moment, if it is feasible, then he will be watching from the side when it is produced for many years.

He still doesn't believe it, with his eyesight and hands-on ability, can he still learn it?
In the end, after many years, he smiled and said, "Second uncle, you can buy it yourself, and you can do it yourself, so you don't need to tell me."

Gah!
This guy has been so bad for so many years, he still wants to drink this wine for nothing, right?

"Third, don't be so rude, how can you talk to the elders?" Old Xu coughed and scolded.

In the bangs with a frozen face, he wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he be like a loach for so many years, so slippery?
Yi Zhonghai suddenly said, "It's been a long time since I've drunk this wine. Tell me about this water pump. How do you install it for Lao Liu and me? Why don't you help make this water pump?"

Although his funeral cannot be resolved, Yi Zhonghai is still very good at judging other matters, especially those related to his interests, and he is quick and ruthless in his actions.

Hearing this sentence, I still shook my head for many years and said:

"Grandpa, let me ask you, where do you plan to install the water pump? The well over the laundry tank is still some distance away from your house, and the water pressure of the water pump will not be enough at that time, so don't blame me."

hiss!
Everyone here is very clear about the consequences of insufficient water pressure.

Liu Haizhong even blurted out, and asked in a startled voice: "For many years, you mean to dig a well in front of the house?"

The reason for asking this is that his house is in the backyard, farther away from the laundry trough.

The farther the distance is, the more insufficient the water pressure is, and if the water pressure is insufficient, the water will not come out.

Yi Zhonghai also frowned. He always felt that this matter was not that simple. He had been refusing to take out the water pump for many years. I am afraid that it was because he was greedy for many years, but because he had other considerations.

"You two gentlemen, it is actually very simple to solve this problem. That is to build a three-meter-high water tower in the laundry tank or in the yard. In this way, this problem can be solved perfectly."

Regarding this proposal for many years, the eyes of the two uncles suddenly brightened.

Old Xu also smiled, very happy, sure enough, the third child in his family is still very sensible.

It may cost a lot of money to build a water tower, but it is definitely much better than digging a well.

After all, who knows if there is water in the well dug in front of his house?
The two uncles gave Thu Nian a thumbs up, and they threw nice words at Nian Nian as if they didn't want money.

This rainbow fart, I have been embarrassed for many years.

Seeing that the three bottles of wine had bottomed out, he glanced at Old Xu for many years, then got up and said:
"It's late, the two uncles should go to bed early."

Following Lao Xu to the door, he suddenly stopped for many years, turned around and said:

"By the way, I forgot to remind you two. If you want to build a water tower, if other neighbors want to receive water at that time, the two uncles must come up with a solution as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he supported Lao Xu and walked quickly to the front yard.

hiss!
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, the two uncles, suddenly felt extremely painful. How could they forget about their neighbors?
I want to call father and son for many years, continue to sit for a while.

As a result, the father and son were as deaf and did not hear at all.

And the footsteps are fast, how does it look like a drunk?

Four people drank three bottles of wine, how could it be possible to get drunk with the capacity of everyone?
It's just that today's drink is destined to be for nothing.

Back in the front yard, Zhou Hongmei and the others were still waiting.

Smelling the strong smell of wine from Lao Xu and the others, Zhou Hongmei frowned, covered her nose and asked them to take a rest and take a hot bath later before going to bed.

Qin Huairu has already boiled the water, and it's not very hot. After all, it's summer now, so the water should not be too hot, otherwise it will become a famous scene of killing pigs when taking a bath for many years.

As virtuous as she is, she is quite considerate about things.

The eldest brother and the second brother looked at Lao Xu and the third brother very enviously, very greedy, but unfortunately they didn't drink.

"How much wine have you guys been drinking? It's too aggressive!"

Fan Zhaodi was also quite envious, she just liked these cheap things, but she couldn't be a man and couldn't drink.

Sitting aside for many years, let Qin Huairu help to wipe his face, and said with a smile: "Not much, there are three bottles of wine in total, all of them are old whites, and they are not satisfied with the beating. The total is about three catties."

hiss!
Everyone gasped, Xu Weidong was still counting the money with his fingers, but his mother, Fan Zhaodi, had already blurted out.

"Isn't that one yuan and eighty cents? The four of you drank all the wine?"

Who doesn't know that old white dry in bulk costs [-] cents a catty?
Although Fan Zhaodi didn't go to vegetable markets and supply and marketing cooperatives very much recently, how could she not be clear about the stable prices of old dogs?

Especially a few years ago, when the ticket system was implemented, the price has not changed, and it is really more stable than her man's salary.

One yuan and eighty cents for wine, this is not a small amount of money.

No wonder everyone was so surprised.

The boss and the second child became even more greedy and regretted that they should have gone drinking at the risk of being scolded by Lao Xu just now.

Big loss!
