The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 333

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Ming ran into neighbors Li Junyi, Wu Ming and others head-on.

"Yo, what's the matter with such a large group of you going out together?"

Wu Ming replied, "We're going to pay the bicycle tax."

Li Junyi answered, "Just now, what Yuan Wanshun said made sense. It's rare to have such warm weather this winter. It's not a disadvantage to queue up now."

"Sooner or later, it will be handed in. The sooner you hand it in, the sooner it will be done. You won't forget it later, and it will be troublesome if you get caught on the way."

"Xiao Ming, your car is from the factory, which saves you this trouble."

The bicycle Li Ming used belonged to the Red Star Rolling Mill, so he didn't need to worry about it.

The Red Star Rolling Mill will pay taxes by means of collective declaration, and the factory will issue the 66 tax card to him at that time.

"Then why didn't you go with Yuan Wanshun?"

Li Junyi explained: "Yuan Wanshun went first to help us occupy a seat. We thought about it and it would be better to go together, so as not to cause conflicts when others say we jumped in line."

"That's true. Then you guys go quickly, go earlier to save the queue." Li Ming leaned to the side and made way for the aisle.

"No chat. See you later."

"See you."

"See you."

Today is the last weekend of the new year, and every household is busy eating for the New Year, and the smell fills the entire courtyard.

It is not cost-effective to ask for leave at work to be busy with family affairs. You can work harder at home on weekends.

Apart from Qin Huairu, most of the people living in No. 95 courtyard house are middle-to-high-income families, who have money to buy things for many years.

They are all seventh-level workers, eighth-level workers, film projectionists, canteen chefs, or dual-career workers. Even deaf old ladies can exchange 62 catties of food stamps for money.

This is how wealthier families celebrate the New Year.

Some places that are so poor and hungry have a boom during the Chinese New Year.

It is not the kind of difficulty in the three-year period. At this time, it is basically the spring famine from March to May. The old grain is exhausted, and the new grain is still immature in the field.

Even after 2000, this kind of spring famine still occurred in the areas affected by flood and drought in the first year.

The movement of Li Ming entering the courtyard also let the people in the courtyard know that he was back.

Wu Ming's wife came over with a bowl of fried fish nuggets and gave it to him, "Xiao Ming, I just fried this at noon. I don't know if it's good or not. I'll give you a try."

Li Ming boasted politely: "Thank you sister-in-law. It smells fragrant and looks golden and crisp. It must be delicious."

Wu Ming's wife smiled and said: "Xiao Ming, you can really talk! I don't think we need our help in finding a wife. A bunch of young women in your factory have already taken a fancy to you!"

Li Ming poured the fried fish cubes onto his own plate, and returned the empty bowl to her, "Thank you, I hope it's like that too."

Wu Ming's wife took the bowl, "It must be! It's the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of housework. I have to go home and wash and tidy up."

Li Ming also politely said: "Sister-in-law, you should do your work first, I also have to tidy up the house."

After a while, a child from Li Junyi's family brought a plate of rice cakes to him.

Yuan Wanshun's family sent a bowl of bean dregs cake.

Uncle Dong also brought him a plate of bean paste.

Steaming, cooking, and frying, the food made by each family may be the same or different, depending on what raw materials they can find.

Each family gave a little bit, and Li Ming collected a lot of things.

As far as he is concerned, some things may not suit his taste, but they share the most delicious food with him, and what they give is a wholehearted gift.

He put his things back together, packed them and took them to the small courtyard in the west of the city, where he planned to eat with Lou Xiaoe.

He rode his bike to the rolling mill, changed into a pickup truck and drove to the west of the city.

Lou Xiaoe has been waiting for him for a long time, "Where did you get so much food?"

"The neighbors in No. 95 courtyard gave it to me, and I will bring it back to taste with you."

Li Ming wanted to share everything with her, which made Lou Xiaoe very happy, "Fu Ma also said that she would start steaming and frying some New Year's food."

"Tomorrow I will bring back two more bags of flour and glutinous rice, so I can make more. Let's give more to those who work for us."

"Well, your arrangement is very good. I will also help with it."

"It's not long after lunch. I guess you're not hungry. We're leaving now, and we'll have a taste of these things when we come back from gun practice."

"Okay, I'm ready."

The two put their things in the room, greeted Fu's mother, and went to the countryside to practice marksmanship.

It's not that Li Ming is full and has nothing to do.

He trained Lou Xiao'e's self-defense ability to prevent problems before they happen.

This year, Lou Xiao'e will definitely go to the countryside to hide for a few months. If she can't fire a gun in an emergency, she will be caught blind.

People who are not familiar with the recoil of the May [-]th pistol may be so shocked that they are not accurate at all.

The City Public Security Bureau rewarded him with 100 rounds of bullets, and Mrs. Yu and the director also arranged training bullets for him.

There is no shortage of bullets for Lou Xiaoe to familiarize herself with the feel in advance.

Li Ming has been able to go smoothly because he has made various preparations in normal times.

He established a good relationship with the Jiaodaokou Public Security Station and the Sunflower Brigade in advance, and the issue of Lou Xiao'e's identity was easily resolved.Sunflower Brigade is only an hour's bicycle ride away from the city, very close.

The next day, Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant purchased three sections.

Li Ming sat in the office thinking about something.

Lou Xiaoe didn't sleep well last night.He also suffered, and for the first time in more than half a year, he didn't sleep well.

When Lou Xiao'e was in a low mood and complicated emotions, it was not suitable for him to return to No. 95 Courtyard early. His early departure would definitely break her heart.

In the end, he had no choice but to use his unique trick, allowing Lou Xiaoe to enjoy his self-created stunt, the high-speed small motor, and she fell into a coma.

After helping her to set the alarm clock, he went back to No. 95 courtyard and slept peacefully for an hour or so.

After several high-speed persuasion and education sessions in one night, he also had a rare backache, and felt that he needed to eat something to make up for it.

"Brother Qian, Sister Xueyao. I didn't expect it to be so cold today. You have to prepare for the cold first. Otherwise, the greenhouse vegetables I brought up in the afternoon will be frostbitten before you get them home, and they won't be fresh."

Qian Jin said in distress: "I really didn't expect the temperature to be so low during the day today."

Li Xueyao asked: "Xiao Ming, can the dishes be as clean as before? I'll go home at noon to get the quilt."

"Clean is definitely clean. If you use quilts to keep warm, the sheets will be stained. I had a quilt when I shipped it back to the city, and the quilt is now colorful."

"Dyeing is nothing important, just wash it." After Li Xueyao finished speaking, she went out to turn on the water.

Qian Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Ming, are you free this afternoon? Can you drive directly to my house?"

"That's because the section chief didn't assign me a task, so I'm free. And it might be later." Li Ming didn't say that he would help Section Chief Chen Guodong deliver food to other units first.

"Then wait for the section chief to come, and let's make a total calculation."

"Brother Qian. There is something wrong with the security department. I'll go there first. Please report to the section chief for me."

Qian Jin agreed: "Don't worry. I'll tell the section chief for you."

"Thank you."

Li Ming didn't go directly to the small building of the security department when he went out.

Before he went to the security unit, he had to go through several gate guard rooms to say hello first.
