The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 448 I Don't Want To Do It Anymore

Back at the rolling mill, Li Ming parked the pickup truck downstairs of the security department.

There is no need to go to work in the afternoon at the construction site of the staff building, and he has more free time in the afternoon.

Hear the familiar sound of trucks,
Fan Jiawen walked out of the office, "Chief, are you coming back to the factory for a meeting?" Neither the Security Section nor the Security Office had a meeting in the afternoon.

"There's no meeting today. I'll talk to you guys about what happened in the morning."

Fan Jiawen understood what he meant, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "There is no rush to get the materials, we have to come in secret, to catch everyone by surprise."

Li Ming thought it was the same, maybe it was because he was depressed in the staff building today, which made him feel a little irritable.

He has been very steady.

He was a little angry, so he thought about going to the countryside to find Lou Xiao'e, and Ruanrou Township could reduce the anger.

Fan Jiawen added: "Everyone is busy investigating the rumors in the morning, and we haven't made any progress yet."

Li Ming was interested in this topic, "Did you find anyone?"

"I found some people. They all said they heard about it on the way back to the workshop after lunch yesterday."

"The results of the questioning now are messy, and the security department can't do anything about them for the time being."

Li Ming thought about it, "Then Gu Changlin and Liu Haisheng are very active?"

"You mean to do something here?"

"It's better to catch the current situation than to settle the old score! Of course, the old score must also be found, so that they can't turn over."

Li Ming suddenly remembered Chen Liuman who was still working in the workshop, he needed professional talents to do bad things!
He has no experience in doing bad things, and his hands are tied. He didn't learn a few tricks before, which was a waste of Chen Liuman's talent.

"Then Da Kui and I went to find those who have been questioned, have they been tricked?"

"You don't need to ask. If you ask, you may startle the snake. You just need to get the registration information. I have a way to know."

Fan Jiawen replied: "I'll pay special attention to the people they find later, and I'll ask them for information soon after get off work. If there is time and number of people, they can't fool me."

The chief of his own unit has some powerful methods, such as Bu Feng, the rumor-monger in the Seventh Workshop caught last time. Fan Jiawen still hasn't understood the aura of "uprightness". How did he find Bu Feng?

Fan Jiawen knew that he just had to obey orders.

Li Ming praised: "Uncle Fan, it's okay! Jiang is old and hot, Da Kui and Fang Sheng couldn't think of it being so considerate. That's okay, I'll go out first."

Fan Jiawen also said cheerfully: "Go and do your work, I'm watching over here."

After everything was arranged, Li Ming went to the countryside to find Lou Xiaoe to relieve the fire.

When he arrived at Xiangyanghua Courtyard, Lou Xiaoe had just taken a lunch break.

The eldest sister, Lou Xiaowan, whispered something to Lou Xiaoe, and went to the cannery construction site with tea with a smile.

Only Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e were left in the courtyard.

Li Ming joked, "What did your sister tell you just now?"

Seeing his half-smile, Lou Xiaoe knew that he was asking this question deliberately, wanting to see her joke,

"Hmph! My sister says I'm very attractive, and I've got a very bad little rascal around me."

"Where is the little villain? If you dare to hit my woman, I will kill him."

"Far in the sky, close in front of you."

Li Ming laughed and said, "I haven't done anything wrong yet, and I'm not young."

Lou Xiaoe stroked her forehead with one hand, "I don't even know where you learned these words." She didn't even think about how to understand it.

"Security Division. It was Chen Liuman and the others who led me into trouble." A scapegoat was thrown on the head of Chen Liuman who was moving steel ingots in the workshop.

"Let's hurry up, it will take a long time, and your sister will laugh at you again later."

"My body is a little sticky, and I sweated a little during my afternoon nap."

"That's just right, let's go take a shower together."

"You must be trying to play tricks again!"

"Then do you like it?"

After a long shower, Li Ming carried Lou Xiao'e, whose legs were weak, back to his room to rest.

Lou Xiaoe lay beside him and asked with concern: "Are you in a bad mood today?"

"Is it felt by you?"

"Although you want to make me happy, I can still feel that you are not in a good mood today, and you are a little impatient."

Lou Xiaoe kissed him and asked softly, "Can you tell me?"

"It's my fault. I was a little rude just now."

"It's okay. You miss me when you're in a bad mood, and it's too late for me to be happy."

Li Ming kissed her back, "There's nothing to do, but the staff building, I don't want to do it anymore."

"Did the new Deputy Team Leader Du cause trouble for you?"

"It's really him. He proposed to me in the morning to organize everyone to work overtime, but I pushed back and said that overtime should be organized to study. I am not suitable to object to this. I asked Xiaowei and the others to talk privately, and it turned out that they all supported overtime work. study!"

Li Ming said what was in his heart, "I don't want to work overtime, I may not be on the same channel as them."

"Don't you usually find a lot of things to do? Busy."

"Passively working overtime and taking the initiative to find things to do, these two are different. Xiao Wei and the others support overtime and study, and they are actively looking for things to do. That's why I said that I am a bit out of group with them."

Putting down the stall, Lou Xiaoe didn't know if it would affect his future work, "Why don't you talk to Section Chief Chen Guodong first?"

"talk later."

Lou Xiaoe comforted: "It's normal not to want to work overtime. For example, Wu Ming from No. 95 Courtyard used to complain about working overtime."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Wu Ming doesn't want to work overtime, and he's still resentful that he didn't upgrade the assessment last year."

Lou Xiaoe continued to persuade: "There must be a lot of people who don't want to work overtime on the construction site."

"Maybe. I also have a problem. I thought I was in charge of the entire construction team."

"As a result, I found that this group of people had different ideas from mine."

Li Ming let out a long breath, "Hey!"

He could find several reasons to persuade those people, and even directly asked those people on the construction site to support his proposition, but he felt a little boring.

Lou Xiaoe said with relief: "People's hearts are unpredictable, as long as they obey your orders. Other things, I can't control that much."

"Ah."

In the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e didn't go to the canning factory site, she risked her life to accompany the gentleman, and comforted him for most of the day at home.

After dinner with Lou Xiaoe, Li Ming returned to the city.

At the gate of No. 95 courtyard, he ran into Xu Damao whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Brother Da Mao, long time no see."

Xu Damao kept complaining, "Xiao Ming, I've suffered an old crime for helping you purchase the three subjects and go to the countryside to show movies!"

"I went to the countryside to show movies for a month, and I was bitten by mosquitoes for a month."

"I'm covered in bags now, and if I don't take a break, I'm going to die. I also missed Shazhu's wedding, and I didn't even have a glass of wedding wine."

Xu Damao also knew why he was sent to the countryside. The purchase of the three subjects must have something to do with Li Ming.

He thinks that there is no place to offend Li Ming, and there is only one thing, Li Ming is worried that Xu Damao will mess up Sha Zhu's marriage.

Xu Damao is telling Li Ming that Shazhu is married and hopes to rest for a while before going to the countryside.

Li Ming said with a smile: "It was quite hard work. However, I think you seem to have gained a little weight. The food in the countryside is good."

"Really?" Xu Damao touched his face, "Maybe it's a little swollen?"

"Look at what you said, it seems that the fellow villagers in the commune don't give you enough to eat."

"Hehe, just kidding."

"I heard from the third master that you often dump your stuff and go home recently. It's a good harvest!"

Li Ming also ordered Xu Damao, the arrangement to go to the countryside is for Xu Damao's benefit, don't act.

Xu Damao thought that Yan Bugui was really talkative, and he was obedient when he opened his mouth, "A little souvenir, I just wanted to mention some to chat with you and drink, you are not at home."

"I seldom cook with a fire, so I don't need to. The old lady in the backyard, Mr. Dong from the outer courtyard, you can take some, respect the old and respect the virtuous."

Xu Damao said with a smile on his face, "All of them, all of them! I can't miss you."

"It's okay, just give them some. It's a waste to give it to me. Where are you going to go?"

"Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I'll go to the grocery store to buy something."

"Then I won't delay your time, you go quickly."

"No delay. Let's talk back."

It was still very early when Li Ming entered the yard, and met the three brothers and sisters who were walking out.

"Bang, where did you do good deeds today?"

Bang Geng replied, "Today we are helping Grandma Feng in Suoyi Hutong."

"Very good, is your mother back yet?"

"At home, Uncle Xiao Ming, do you have anything to do with my mother?" Bang Geng asked back.

"Well, go and call her, I have something urgent to ask her."

"I'll go now. Xiaodang, Huaihua, you are waiting for me here."

After stuffing three candies for Xiao Dang, Li Ming went back to the east wing of his house.

After a while, Banggen shouted in the front yard: "Uncle Xiao Ming, I told my mother that I'm going out to play now."

"Row."

Bang Jian saw that Li Ming was fine, so he went to find his two younger sisters.

There are three candies, and the stick is also given a candy, so I can eat candy when I run errands, I am very happy.

Qin Huairu also walked to the East Wing, "Bang Geng said you have something urgent to ask me, what's the matter?"

"You can help me make two shirts from this piece of cloth, and you can figure out what is left."

Lou Xiao'e was not in the city, and no one bought clothes for him, so Li Ming asked Qin Huairu to help him make two clothes.

He whispered again: "I miss you, come here at night."

Qin Huairu rolled his eyes at him, "This is the important thing you said!"

"Of course it matters!"

Qin Huairu spat secretly, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'll go back first. I'm cooking at home."

"Aren't you going to measure me?"

Qin Huairu glanced up and down, flicked her braid, and went back triumphantly.

So arrogant, Li Ming planned to make her look good at night.

Qin Huairu ran into a big mother in the middle courtyard,

The first mother saw that she was holding a bundle of cloth in her hand,

"Such a fine fabric?"

Qin Huairu replied generously: "Xiao Ming, he asked me to help make two shirts."

"There's nothing I can do to help him, I just know how to make some clothes."

It's not surprising that Qin Huairu helped make clothes, and the aunt didn't care,

"Speaking of which, Xiao Ming has been living in our hospital for almost a year. When he came here last year, he was wearing a shirt. He wears a shirt and looks energetic!"

"He looks good in any clothes." Qin Huairu unconsciously revealed his feelings.

The aunt still didn't care, and was still feeling, "Since Xiaoming lived in our courtyard, it's really changed every day, and only Xu Damao in the backyard is left."

Qin Huairu said disdainfully: "Xu Damao, he's just virtuous, a dog can't change eating shit."

"This time when Sha Zhu got married, Xiaoming asked Section Chief Chen of the Purchasing Section to help. Section Chief Chen told the Section Chief of the Propaganda Section that he specially arranged for Xu Damao to go to the countryside to show a movie so that he would not make trouble."

The first mother is also very kind to Sha Zhu, "Xiao Ming told you? You have to tell Sha Zhu about this, and you have to remember such a big favor."

"Yu Shui told me that Sha Zhu knew about this, and Xiao Ming asked Sha Zhu to thank Section Chief Chen."

"It is necessary to thank people well."

From the very beginning, he didn't think about keeping this matter a secret. Xu Damao is a smart person, so keeping it a secret is pointless.

People like Xu Damao, followed by all kinds of high-ranking people, the most powerful one, in 75, he said in high spirits, 'See you in ten years'.

Li Ming didn't think about taking the top position, the position was too high, he was stared at in various ways, and there were no secrets to speak of.

His secrets are too great.

People in the courtyard house chat in the shade after eating.

The weather in Beijing in June is quite chaotic, the highest temperature can be as high as 6 octaves in some days, and only 37 octaves in some days.

It wasn't raining, and it was rather hot today, so Li Ming also took a big cattail fan to join in the fun.

Uncle Dong started a new topic, "People from the water company came to the courtyard in the afternoon to promote it, calling on everyone to save water."

Wu Ming crossed his legs, "There is no public toilet in our courtyard, and there are only four faucets, so there is nothing to waste." Maybe he forgot that there is another one in Li Ming's room.

Li Junyi answered: "That's right, unlike the compound of those high-rise buildings, you can use dirty water to grow vegetables and so on. Our dirty water can only be poured out, and there is no need to save it."

Wu Ming complained: "In my opinion, those who need to save the most are those who live in high-rise buildings."

"Our water bill has to be apportioned by the whole hospital. For their water, they can pay only [-] cents, and if they use too much water, the unit will subsidize it." Li Junyi expressed the feelings of many people.

At this time, the water price in Beijing is 0.12 yuan per ton, and Shanghi happens to be 0.12 yuan.There are some differences across the country, basically one or two cents per ton.

Like electricity meters, water meters are not installed in every household, so it is often a compound or a building, and the payment is calculated and paid according to the number of people.

If a guest stays for a longer period of time, the host has to take the initiative to pay an extra person's water bill.

In the 50s, Beijing City began to promote water conservation. After so many years of publicity, everyone should understand water conservation measures. Whether water can be saved depends on normal usage habits.

From time to time, the water company comes to the door to promote it, which can make most people in the courtyard stand on the moral high ground and criticize some people in the courtyard who are not conscious.

Yan Bugui carefully calculated: "It is still possible to save water. For example, turn off the taps in time. Use water sparingly when washing vegetables and clothes."

Uncle Dong reminded: "Our hospital has not checked for water leaks for two or three months. Check it tomorrow."

After the water pipes are no longer frozen, no one cares about the water pipes. It is not a big leak, which is usually difficult to detect.

Li Junyi agreed: "This needs to be checked carefully, leaking water means leaking money.

Li Ming has no objection, anyway, it's a simple matter, just toss about it casually.

On the surface, he didn't cook, and he was often not at home, and he didn't use much water. Although he had an extra faucet, no one in the yard had any objections.

In fact, he did not use much water from the courtyard. He collected some spring water and stored it in the drinking pool of his small world. All he used was the water from here.
