Chapter 35

Tomorrow is a rest day.

Wei Ping'an went to the vegetable market after get off work and bought a bunch of garlic sprouts and a few tomatoes.

It's hot, I'm going to eat a cold tomato to clear my mouth.

As soon as he entered the door, Laifu's two paws came up.

The humming and chirping welcome put Wei Pingan in a good mood.

Because he has been eating the puppy food exchanged by the system, his body and hair are very good, and he looks a bit mighty.

Ji Xiang followed Hong Niu to the cellar entrance.

It is estimated that there is a cool breeze in the gap, which can make it more comfortable.

Seeing Wei Pingan come back, he also straightened up, wagging his tail loudly.

When the owner comes back, he can enter the house again to use the air conditioner.

It's chilly, lying on the floor, just thinking about it makes me happy.

The first time the door was opened, Wei Ping'an turned on the air conditioner.

Summer in Sijiucheng is very difficult, the walls of the houses are scorched through, and walking in the house can feel the hindrance of the heat.

Turn on the air conditioner and cool down in ten minutes.

Wei Pingan also took a shower at this time, and changed into a new vest and shorts.

It can be regarded as a continuation of life, and you can go to the kitchen to cook.

Stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, cold tomatoes, and a seaweed egg drop soup.

It's hot in summer, and working takes more energy. In addition, there is an air conditioner to cool down when you get home, so you don't have to worry about losing your appetite.

Hong Niu raised her ears and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Clang...clang.

The sound of knocking on the wooden door.

Wei Pingan was startled, subconsciously got up and walked out of the yard.

At this point, generally no one will bother you.

The relationship between the people in the courtyard and themselves is like the two poles of the earth, they do not interfere with each other, and the best is nodding acquaintances.

Even He Yushui only troubled Wei Pingan occasionally when he was hungry and wanted to do it himself.

Today is not a school holiday, and he can't think of anyone else in the courtyard who would knock on his door before dinner.

Although the rice is delicious, even Jia Zhang's face is not so thick.

After all, there is still a son in charge at this time.

"Who?"

Pushing open the door, I saw a guy who was absolutely unimaginable.

The old face is vertical and horizontal, and the depth of the creases is touching. He grinned openly, and the gap between the two front teeth can run a train.

Uncle Li from the waste collection station.

"Hey, why do you always come to this courtyard?"

"Men, if you don't invite the old man, I will come in and tell you."

Old man Li lifted the wine bottle in his hand.

Red Star Er Wotou.

"Look at what you said, go in the house, go in the house."

Turning around and closing the courtyard door again, old man Li stood in the courtyard watching, shaking his head.

Push the door and enter the house.

The old man obviously showed a surprised expression.

Turning his eyes around, he saw the green rectangular iron box in the northeast corner.

"So cool?"

"This thing is called an air cooler, and it's used in many places. I made it myself. It's not as big as anyone else's, but our house is small, and it's enough for one person."

"Isn't this thing going to cost a lot of electricity?"

"Yeah, it's quite gratifying to pay the electricity bill."

"Which gust of wind brought you here, old man? Did you buy old books again?"

Old man Li withdrew his gaze from looking up at the bookshelf, and grinned.

"From now on, old man, I will also live in this yard, and I will be in the front house."

The first thing Wei Pingan thought of was the scene of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walking out from the west with happy faces.

The dishes were already on the table, and old man Li came over to say hello with the wine in his hand, and there was no one who did not take a sip or two.

The two sat down, chatted and drank.

Old man Li let go, and he didn't twitch the meat with his chopsticks at all, which was quite cheerful.

He didn't drink less wine, more than half of it went into his stomach.

I have been in contact with this little boy Wei Pingan for more than a year, and I know everything about his character.

With a clear heart, he is more chic and unrestrained in dealing with things.

This is also where Wei Ping'an can talk to old man Li.

Old man, I just came here, and I smelled the aroma of your food, so I brought wine to eat and drink you.

I also know that Wei Ping'an will be happy and will not be rejected.

In Jia's house, the old godly woman saw the new old man coming out of Wei Ping'an's house, looking full of wine and food, her eyes rolled around.

For a while, he looked at the daughter-in-law who was breastfeeding the child on the bed, and then looked up through the window to see the tightly closed wooden door of Wei Ping'an's house.

Old man Li hummed a ditty as he walked through the front yard and returned to the inverted room. The things inside hadn't been put in order yet, some small things were scattered in the corners, and some were still in the bag.

A broken home is worth a million dollars.

It is not easy to move a house.

However, old man Li is open-minded, and now that he is full of wine and food, he starts to tidy up slowly.

The unexpected conflict last week caused disasters for many people in the surrounding area.

Old man Li's house was also affected, and Director Wang of the Sub-district Office got the task of relocating Uncle Li, so he arranged it in this inverted house logically.

For one thing, Yan Bugui went to the sub-district office several times, so that Director Wang had very clear information about the available inverted houses in this courtyard.

Second, Yan Bugui went to "bargain" many times, and Aunt Zhang of the street office kept asking Director Wang for instructions, which made it tiresome.

Regulations are regulations, and it’s not like buying Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market, can you still bargain?

Yan Bugui's calculations were too ruthless, resulting in the information being provided to Director Wang of the Sub-district Office for no reason.

There happened to be a resettlement task assigned by the superiors, and they emphasized that it must be done properly. The two inverted rooms in the courtyard immediately became Director Wang's first choice.

"Dad, what's the matter? We all paid the money so many days in advance, how can we give it to someone else..."

The corner of Yan Bugui's mouth twitched vaguely.

Yan Xiecheng and his wife don't have much left, except for the ration money they hand in every month.

In order to go out and live independently, Yu Li even went home and asked the family for 5 yuan, and gave it to her father-in-law together with the 5 yuan saved by her young couple.

It's just that Yan Bugui thought about saving a little and earning a little, so he kept pushing the street office.

I didn't expect the street office to stop playing with you all of a sudden.

"Ahem, I'll go ask what's going on tomorrow,...you have to give our family an explanation for everything you say. But don't go out and make a fuss about it. I'll ask first and then we'll see."

The whole family sat at the table, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

"Old man, it's really not good, the west ear room can clean up, right?"

"Well, I'll go to the street office tomorrow to ask."

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other, and just as Yu Li was about to open her mouth, Yan Jiecheng shook her head slightly.

The west ear room is only about ten square meters in total, and if you fit a bed and a wardrobe, you won't be able to fit any big items.

The conditions are definitely not the same as the area of ​​the two inverted houses.

But, isn't this being taken first by someone, and he can only settle for the next best thing.

At night, lying on the small cubicle bed, Yu Li and Yan Xiecheng chewed their ears.

"Does it cost so much money to change from an inverted room to a small side room? Ask my dad, can we get some money back?"

Yan Jiecheng laughed in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"I'll ask if I get a chance. Let's not ask now. We have to ask Dad to book the house for us first, and then we'll settle the accounts carefully. Otherwise, our dad won't care, and we'll be like before..."

"Yeah, you're right, then let's wait until we move out..."

Intermediate Court, Wei Ping'an's home.

He was thinking about going to help old man Li tomorrow, and getting some wine and food for the old man Wen Wenwo at noon or in the evening.

When I was drinking just now, I talked about fame and word of mouth.

The old man said that his son and daughter-in-law had been "lost" for many years, and there was no news.

On weekdays, the neighbors in the neighborhood say that their son and daughter-in-law have been arrested, or have long since disappeared. In the past, no one wanted to see them, and they lived alone.

It is said that he can appreciate Wei Ping'an's life very well.

Wei Pingan felt that old man Li might not really understand his own life.

Because the happiness of systematic people cannot be experienced by ordinary people.

Wei Ping'an also asked, old man Li's son is a college student, his daughter-in-law is a college teacher, and she has also studied abroad, and they all study mathematics...

Therefore, everything is waiting to be done, whether it is the artillery battle that shocked the world a few years later, or the military technology that surpassed foreign powers...

Wei Pingan felt that if he helped old man Li, he could be regarded as a family member who had contributed to the country, so he could solve some worries for the future within his ability.

 The leader said to pack up and go back today... I am happy, I will add an update tonight...
