Chapter 38 038 Demolition (first update, please follow up)
After dinner, the power went out...

Although it is a capital city, the power supply voltage has always been unstable, and it is common for light bulbs to flicker on and off.

Nowadays, major projects are gradually starting to be constructed day and night, which consumes a lot of electricity. Therefore, residential areas have begun to have power cuts in turns, or even sudden power outages.

Tang Zhitong took out a kerosene lamp and lit it. In fact, there were candles at home, but Tang Zhitong preferred kerosene lamps because they smelled good. He especially liked the smell of incompletely burned kerosene.

The kerosene lamp has a glass cover. You can light the wick, close the glass cover, and adjust the size of the flame through the knob on one side. This is unmatched by candles.

Tang Zhitong placed the adjusted kerosene lamp on the old-fashioned Eight Immortals table and asked his two sisters to work together by the light.

Tang Zhitong's family has two tables, a dining table and an Eight Immortals table.

The Eight Immortals table is old, and the paint surface has long been mottled. The bumps in life have left many potholes on the table, and the cracks on the tabletop can even put your fingers through.

Based on this condition, Gu Yong and the others did not object when they came as guests, which shows that the friendship is in place, and of course they are well-educated.

On this condition, can you climb Wang Jingwen's high branches?The little girl is so confused, but her parents are not stupid!
After the sisters finished their homework, Tang's mother asked them to wash up and go to bed. Going to bed early would save some kerosene.

There was no call at this point, so there was no need to look forward to it. Tang Zhitong casually turned on the light and sat down at the Eight Immortals table to write a letter.

Due to the potholes on the table, Tang Zhitong conveniently took a textbook from his younger sister and put it under the letter paper.

Tang Zhitong was in trouble as to how to reply to this letter.

I have a good impression of Wang Jingwen, but how do others feel about me?Maybe you also have a good impression?But it's also possible that it's just my own illusion.

Since Wang Jingwen didn't express his love clearly, Tang Zhitong couldn't express his rejection clearly and could only make insinuations.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Zhitong finally wrote half a page of letter paper, checked it again, folded it and stuffed it into an envelope, and sent it away tomorrow.

Although the novel only has more than 30 chapters, Tang Zhitong has been in this era for more than three months.

Thanks to the recent “pest eradication” campaign, there have been a lot fewer flies, mosquitoes, rats, sparrows, but there are still a lot of bed bugs and lice in the house.

The conditions at home have improved. They raise rabbits, drink mountain spring water, and have no shortage of non-staple food. However, they still do not have the conditions for bathing, and the hot spring soup has not yet been used.

Tang Zhitong plans to improve this aspect and build a separate bathroom, but where can he get the building materials?

Tang Zhitong set his sights on a big project...

After getting off work, Tang Zhitong went to the construction site to work voluntarily. The construction site was on the west side of Dongbianmen, not far from Tang's home.

Before the National Day next year, it will be built into the country's largest railway station and officially put into operation.

The voluntary labor was real. Tang Zhitong did not slack off and got enough information during his breaks.After get off work the next day, Tang Zhitong did not go to the construction site again, but came to the subdistrict office to find Director Xu.

Tang Zhitong has a good impression of Director Xu. There has been no news about him being asked to work as a temporary worker. This time he has the opportunity to make some achievements. Tang Zhitong does not want to miss the opportunity to sell favors.

"Director Xu, are you busy?" It was already cold and the office door was closed. Tang Zhitong knocked on the door and pushed the door open after hearing "Please come in."

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Tang? You're such a rare visitor. You've done a good job. I went to a meeting two days ago and was commended by name on the street where your unit is located. You were ahead of the other units in regulating house numbers. I asked about it ", the emotional side is your job. You don't want to think about your Aunt Xu when it comes to results." Director Xu stood up, pointed at Tang Zhitong and laughed and scolded, with three points of criticism, three points of praise, and four points of intimacy. , no one else would be comfortable with such criticism.

"Ouch, my dear Aunt Xu, I really died unjustly." Tang Zhitong climbed up the pole and explained: "I just wanted to make the delivery convenient for myself, so I went to the street to prepare a case. Who would have thought that they would report it to the police as a result! "

"You passed the test. Tell me, did you tell me any good news this time? Do you have any clues about the temporary workers?" Director Xu's smile did not diminish. Not only did he sit down, but he also motioned for Tang Zhitong to sit down.

Tang Zhitong gave Director Xu a thumbs up in his heart. What he said was reasonable and he was trying to keep his mouth shut. If he asked someone to do something this time, he would definitely not get what he wanted.

"I have been paying attention to the temporary workers." Tang Zhitong responded with a smile, "I came here because of other things."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It rained heavily a few days ago, and I heard that water accumulated in the yards of many households on our street. I also heard that many people have come to you recently to coordinate their houses and ask for solutions to housing problems." Tang Zhitong was determined to play hard to get, and first laid out the problem.

"This is nothing new. In what year did it not happen? Do you have a way to solve it?" Director Xu asked.

"I do know some connections, but you have to do this yourself." Tang Zhitong stopped being pretentious and spoke out his thoughts: "Yesterday I went to the station to work voluntarily, and demolition is underway there. Bricks, tiles, wooden beams, There are a lot of doors and windows, and the housing management bureau over there is also worried about how to arrange them. The demolished construction waste has to be hauled five kilometers away to be dumped, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I was wondering if the neighbors in need could buy some. Build a shed with bricks and tiles, build a courtyard wall, and improve the living environment? Pull some construction waste to raise the yard, so you don’t have to worry about water accumulation."

"Your idea is good." Director Xu praised Tang Zhitong and assessed the feasibility in his mind.

"It was windy and rainy the past two days. It really fulfilled the old saying, 'There are three feet of soil when there is no wind, but there is mud on the street when it rains.' I was thinking, can we improve it? Use construction waste to clean up our streets. The roads have all been paved. If they can be pressed and compacted again, I wonder if the road surface is solid and smooth, can it be considered an achievement?" Tang Zhitong added a suggestion. Currently, only a few main roads are paved with asphalt or cement, and the rest are paved with asphalt or cement. Most of them are dirt roads, the kind that get stuck in and you can't pull out your shoes after rain. At the same time, they are the favorite kind of roads for children, where they can step in puddles and play in the mud.

"Of course!" When Director Xu heard Tang Zhitong talk about clearing the road, he made up his mind. He is so capable of doing this! "You young people have quick brains and a lot of ideas. I won't keep you here today. I'll go to the construction site first. You will often come to Aunt Xu's place to play in the future."

Director Xu and Tang Zhitong pushed the cart out of the street office together and went directly to the construction site.

Tang Zhitong felt deep in his heart that even though Director Xu was a woman, his level was comparable to that of Lao Zhao of the Third National Cotton Factory.

It is difficult to do any job, but Director Xu does not make any excuses. As long as he has a general direction, he will find a way to implement it!

In the next few days, the streets mobilized to support the construction. Young and old came together to carry baskets of broken bricks to the streets.

Because Director Xu came forward to negotiate with the housing management office, many people bought some old bricks, tiles, doors, windows, and wood to bring to their homes. Tang Zhitong was one of them...
