The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 18, Betting

The next day, eight o'clock.

According to the duty schedule, Li Weiguo, Zhang Tai and Uncle Wang are on duty at the west gate.

Early in the morning, I took the gun with Zhang Tai, and then went to the west gate to hand over to the morning shift guy.

The first guard in the morning was Li Weiguo. Without saying a word, he went to the guard box with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

Time passed, and two and a half hours passed quickly. Zhang Tai still did not go to change the guard, but sat in the duty room leisurely drinking tea.

By now Li Weiguo knew that Zhang Tai, a birdman, was going to do something again.

Since Zhang Biao organized the two into a group, the two have been fighting for a month.

A shift lasts 8 hours, and the two guards generally rotate for 2 hours each by default, each standing for 4 hours.

Since Zhang Tai formed a group with him, he insisted on doing something, of course Li Weiguo was not used to him.

You hold me for half an hour on this shift, and I will hold you on for half an hour on the next shift.

Let's see who can outlast whom, hurting each other.

Soon, the time exceeded 3 hours, it was already past 11 o'clock, and the temperature gradually increased.

The guard, Uncle Wang, couldn't stand it anymore.

In the past, the two of them usually delayed each other for half an hour when they were dead, and they didn't say anything.

It has been 3 hours now, which is already too much, because people have to go to the toilet, and standing guard for a long time will hurt the body.

Uncle Wang is over 50 years old and still has a bad temper. He walked up to Zhang Tai and kicked him to the ground.

He cursed angrily: "What a shame, why don't you go and change the guard? Why are you here hatching eggs?"

Zhang Tai clasped his waist, got up, and said awkwardly: "Isn't this more training for new comrades? Go now, go now, ha ha."

Zhang Taike didn't dare to provoke Uncle Wang, who was the master who fought on the battlefield.

As long as the old brothers around him are still alive, at least they are at the university level at the moment.

Uncle Wang not only has a strong background, but also has great skills. He is a descendant of Twelve Tan Kou.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was shot in the leg and became lame, beating Zhang Tai 10 times would be like playing for fun.

It was also Uncle Wang who was staring at him, and Zhang Tai had never been too aggressive.

Not daring to say anything, Zhang Tai ran to the post obediently and completed the handover of guns and posts with Li Weiguo.

In June and July, the weather was hot and dry. Li Weiguo stood for more than 3 hours, his back was wet with sweat, and his mouth was dry.

As soon as he entered the duty room, he poured himself a large jar of water.

He put down the enamel jar, unbuttoned his jacket, and sat down to rest.

Uncle Wang pointed at Li Weiguo and said with a smile: "You are a tough guy. You have been punished by Zhang Biao and Zhang Tai for so long and you still refuse to admit defeat."

"Hey, they have such three-legged cat skills, and they still want to punish me. It's not that I look down on them, they don't have any technical content." Li Weiguo said disdainfully.

After finishing speaking, he took out the big front door from his pocket, handed one to Uncle Wang, and took one for himself.

"That's a good way to say it, isn't it just standing and being beaten, so you can't fight back?" Uncle Wang took the cigarette and watched Li Weiguo fire the cannon with great interest.

Li Weiguo struck a match for Uncle Wang, and at the same time quibbled: "Hey, look at what you said, why are you just standing there and being beaten? He is delaying me now, and he has to pay me back later?"

Uncle Wang took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and said leisurely: "I can't say for sure. After all, my cousin is the section chief. Maybe he just happened to be here on patrol, so that someone can't return it. Woolen cloth?"

Then struck a match and lit it for himself, Li Weiguo thought for a while, touched his head, nodded and said, "Tsk, yes."

The appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water made Uncle Wang laugh out loud.

Li Weiguo gave him a helpless look and said, "You smoke my cigarette all the time and gloat over other people's misfortunes, isn't that inappropriate?"

"I can't help it, it's just my hobby, hahaha," Uncle Wang said with a smile.

This old man likes to make jokes whenever he has nothing to do, and he acts like an old kid.

Seeing Uncle Wang's appearance, Li Weiguo became more energetic and said: "Hey, I'll pay him back today, double it. Don't talk about his brother, it won't be easy for his father to come. You Do you believe it or not?"

"I do not believe!"

"Are you sure you don't believe me?"

"I'm sure you don't believe me!"

Li Weiguo directly magnified his move: "Okay, let's make a bet. Today I will let Zhang Tai be honest and stand for four hours at a time. It's over, I have nothing to do."

Then he said: "I lose, and you can put up the conditions. If I win, you will accept me as an apprentice and teach me your kung fu of the twelve-way tan leg. How about it?"

Uncle Wang became interested when he heard this, and looked at Li Weiguo to make sure he wasn't joking.

The old kid's temper also rose: "Okay, if you can do it, I will not only accept you as a disciple and teach you the Twelve Ways of Tan Kung, but I will even divide my muscles and bones and wrap my dragon's hand together to teach you!"

Staggered bones and dragon hands?
Wudang Xuanzhen God's unique skill in swordsmanship?
Hehe, I have nothing to do at ordinary times, and I have been listening to Xu Dong boasting about Uncle Wang's Tan legs. I didn't expect that there would be a unique skill at the bottom of the box, and now it was blown out.

"This is what you said, let's swear by high-fiving." Li Weiguo raised his palms and said.

"Hey, if you still don't believe me, just give me a high five." Uncle Wang stretched out his palm and said stubbornly.

"Snapped!"

After clapping hands, Li Weiguo said: "Success, just wait and see."

Li Weiguo was calm on the surface, but in fact he was ecstatic inside, and finally deceived this old boy into taking the bait.

In the past, I have been making indirect remarks, asking this old boy whether he will accept disciples, but he has been vague every time.

Finally caught him this time.

Soon, it was twelve o'clock, and it was time for lunch.

Li Weiguo took Uncle Wang's lunch box and went to the cafeteria to get some food.

At this moment, at the entrance of the cafeteria, Xiao Wu, the secretary of Deputy Director Li, was already waiting there.

Seeing Li Weiguo coming, he ran over diligently.

Said: "Comrade Li Weiguo, the reception room in the first canteen is ready. You can take a seat at any time. Director Li will be there in a moment."

Li Weiguo lifted the lunch box in his hand, and said: "I want to get my master a meal first, otherwise he will starve after eating for a long time."

Secretary Xiao Wu asked doubtfully: "Who is your master?"

"Hey, it's the guard, Uncle Wang." Li Weiguo explained with a smile.

Secretary Xiao Wu suddenly realized, and looked at Li Weiguo with a lot of respect.

Others don't know what Uncle Wang is doing, how can they, the secretary, know?
They know the personnel situation of each department in the entire factory as well as the personnel department.

Before arranging today's reception, Deputy Factory Manager Li has explained that he should be polite to Li Weiguo.

In the future, as long as it is not too much, anyone who can help will help him solve it.

At first he had Li Weiguo as a relative of Deputy Factory Director Li, but he didn't expect to be Uncle Wang's apprentice.

So Xiao Wu suggested: "How about this, the kitchen has a lot of small cooking dishes today, and I can decorate them for Uncle Wang directly, so as not to have to wait in line."

After thinking about it, Li Weiguo nodded in agreement and treated it as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Give the lunch box to Xiao Wu and let him go in to pack the vegetables.

After a while, Xiao Wu came back with a lunch box and handed it to him, reminding him to go back quickly as the dinner was about to start.

He nodded and took it, and with a quick glance, he saw that one lunch box was full of meat and vegetables, and the other lunch box contained two white flour steamed buns.

Carrying the lunch box, I went back to the duty room, put it in front of Uncle Wang, and said, "Master, I have a treat today, and I will bring you a good meal, hehe."

Uncle Wang rolled his eyes: "Hey, you haven't won yet, Master's call is too early."

"Just wait and see." Li Weiguo said confidently.

There is no need to delay after delivering the lunch box, so I went straight to the cafeteria.

Reception room 203 on the second floor of the canteen.

Deputy Director Li asked Li Weiguo to sit down.

Braised pork in brown sauce, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried rabbit meat, husband and wife lung slices, seaweed and egg soup, four vegetables and one soup, this is quite a high standard at a time when supplies are in short supply.

Deputy Factory Director Li personally poured wine for Li Weiguo, raised his glass and said: "Thank you Brother Weiguo for the support from our brother unit. I also ask Brother Weiguo to say more kind words to you in the future. I thank you here." , do it first as a courtesy.”

He drank it while talking.

Li Weiguo also raised his glass and said, "Don't worry, I'm also from our rolling mill. Can you forget about our factory?"

After drinking, the two of them took out their chopsticks.

After eating for only 2 minutes, Li Weiguo suddenly said: "Oh, I still have to stand guard. If I don't go back for a long time, that guy Zhang Tai will definitely sue me."

How could Deputy Director Li not understand when he heard this?

Nodding his head, he called Xiao Wu in, and said, "Xiao Wu, brother Wei Guo will help me a little bit at this moment. For standing guard, let Zhang Tai stand first, and brother Wei Guo will go back to help me when he is done with me. Him, go and tell Uncle Wang and Zhang Tai." He winked at Xiao Wu as he spoke.

Xiao Wu nodded, understanding in his heart, and turned around to inform.

As soon as Xiao Wu left, the two continued to drink.

After drinking until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, deputy director Li had to go back to the office under Xiao Wu's reminder.

After all, as a deputy factory manager, he has a lot of things to do every day. It's fine to drink at night, but it's not appropriate to drink for too long at noon.

After the canteen waiter finished clearing the tables, Li Weiguo lay down in the reception room to rest.

It's not time to bet with Uncle Wang, so don't rush back, just lie down for a while.
