Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 217 Holding an Umbrella

Liao Yucheng and his brother-in-law Ding Hongxi were drinking at home.

Ding Hongxi took a sip of wine and said, "Brother-in-law, are you worried about why you asked me to come drink today?"

Liao Yucheng said with a smile: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Ding Hongxi looked slightly amused and said, "That's not true. If my brother-in-law has something to do, just tell him. I won't hesitate to help you."

Ding Hongxi's appearance was pretty good. During the factory's recruitment drive, he was recruited as a temporary security guard at a factory, patrolling day and night.

But this guy had a lot of thoughts, couldn't bear the temper and endured hardship, and couldn't help but stretch out his hands to watch for theft. However, he was discovered as soon as he took a few things, and the factory asked him to compensate and fired him, instead of sending him to the police.

But good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. With this incident, it will be difficult for him to find a formal job.

Now, just like Gangzi, he takes advantage of the "free economy" in the countryside to make some money, and his life is pretty good.

"Hey!" Liao Yucheng put down his wine glass and sighed: "Hong Xi, you also know that my brother-in-law used to be a public manager in a silk store, but after your sister made such a fuss, he was kicked off and became an ordinary job in the street. personnel."

Ding Hongxi nodded and said: "Who says it's not the case? My sister is also too petty, and she takes things like catching wind and shadow seriously. Besides, with the coquettish appearance of Chen Xueru, the "February Flower" in the silk shop, it is inevitable that I will have some ideas. My appearance is also Not bad, at that time I was thinking of letting you help me connect people so that I could gain both personal and financial benefits."

Ding Hongxi suddenly became less concerned about this and said superficially: "Okay, then if you meet me later, follow me and inquire."

Liao Yucheng said: "Don't worry about the handle for now. I really don't want to live a life of being manipulated. I want to get the handle back."

Ding Hongxi put his head together and said, "What kind of roundabout tactic?"

Ding Hong said happily: "Brother-in-law, you have a good brain, what do you think we should do? It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to capture this bitch Chen Xueru."

These two guys are really "touching the scene, Shakespeare" each occupying two characters.

Liao Yucheng said: "We have to handle things one by one. Taking down Chen Xueru is the best situation. Even if we can't take it down, we can't let her live so freely."

Liao Yucheng said: "Of course he doesn't care. With sister Chen Xueru here, he will be short of money."

Liao Yucheng's mouth twitched slightly, thinking: "You want to eat shit, I want to have both people and wealth."

This woman lived in a small courtyard with a single door at the end of an alley. I heard that she had worked in a factory for a while after being demobilized, but she couldn't bear the hardship, so she bought a small courtyard with the money she had secretly saved.

This guy ate, drank, patted his butt and left without taking the matter to heart.

The "February Flower" is a divorced woman, and the "leave behind" is a widow whose husband has died.

Ding Hongxi's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "You mean that guy Chen Zuwang!"

Ding Hongxi hesitated and said: "Brother-in-law, you don't want me to steal it, do you?"

As the saying goes: "It's better to marry a February flower than to marry a remnant."

The cloudy day was happy, and it was also idle to be idle, so I turned around and headed towards the girl's residence.

After hearing this, Ding Hongxi hesitated and said: "Is this possible? Even if the man is caught in bed, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. At most, it is just a promiscuous relationship between men and women."

Speaking of that girl before, Ding Hongxi, who had eaten and drank enough, was also thinking about it. He touched his pocket and found that he still had some money and his life was fine.

Ding Hongxi laughed when he heard this and said: "Hey, I really know about this. He has a good friend who used to come from the Eighth Hutong, and he even boasted about his skill when playing cards."

This idea is a bit too taken for granted, people will not act according to their ideas stupidly.

Liao Yucheng whispered: "Come here, when the time comes, you will be like this, such and such..."

Liao Yucheng said confidently: "This is the first step. If you find out about the relationship between men and women, it will be enough for them to drink a pot. You have to take this opportunity to convince that girl to rely on Chen Zuwang and even marry into the Chen family. Then we will be there If you use the back-up plan to fight for family property with Chen Xueru, the fun will come."

Saying that, he was about to close the door.

Liao Yucheng nodded and said, "Yes, you should know him, right?"

Liao Yucheng said solemnly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to steal it. We have to use roundabout tactics on this matter."

After a while, there was some movement inside. A woman in her mid-twenties opened the door a little and revealed one eye. When she saw it was him, she said in a sad tone: "It's you. I'm not feeling well today. I'll wait for another day." Come again."

"Okay, brother-in-law, just listen to me."

Then he said: "This Chen Zuwang is not married yet, and he has some spare money. There is no cat in the world who doesn't cheat, so there must be someone out there who is interested in him."

Ding Hong said happily: "We have met a few times and played cards together twice. Some of them are so lazy that they don't care if they lose a little money."

Ding Hongxi nodded slightly on the surface, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart. He thought his brother-in-law had some ideas, but he didn't expect it to be at this level.

Moreover, he also ignored that he was also a good friend, and he wouldn't get much out of it if he found out.

He knocked lightly on the door.

I was thinking in my heart but said: "Yes, there is no chance of being appointed now, and to tell you the truth, I still have some leverage in the hands of that bitch Chen Xueru."

There was something he didn't say after that. He was also a bachelor, so he was naturally itchy after hearing it. However, that woman didn't accept strangers, so he spent a lot of effort before becoming a member of the same group.

"Bang bang bang..."

"The handle!" Ding Hongxi's eyes moved and he couldn't help but ask: "What handle?"

When I saw an "O" sign in the corner next to the door, I knew there was no one else inside. If it was a "C" sign, there was someone.

Liao Yucheng patted his shoulder and said: "Hong Xi, it's up to you. Chen Xueru makes us uncomfortable, so we have to make her feel stable. I have something in Chen Xueru's hands so I can't come forward. It's up to you." .”

Ding Hongxi looked around first and only went over when he saw no one in the alley.

Well, it’s really good!

As the saying goes: "When you are full and warm, you will think about lust."

Liao Yucheng smiled slightly and said, "Chen Xueru has an incompetent brother."

Ding Hongxi was just about to go up, so he quickly squeezed in, closed the door and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, please don't coax me, I know this is not your day."

When Sister Ying saw him coming in, she said angrily: "I said it's uncomfortable just because it's uncomfortable. Why, you still want to be the overlord?"

Ding Hongxi rolled his eyes and said, "No, no, sister Ying, what's wrong with you? Let me rub it for you."

Sister Ying said angrily: "It's okay to tell you, I'm pregnant, and I don't know which one of you bastards is responsible for making you all look like silver spears and wax heads outside."

"Ah..." Ding Hongxi was also a little dumbfounded and subconsciously shirked the responsibility and said: "It must not be me. You know that I am the powerful sister Ying."

Sister Ying looked at him. Although this guy was a latecomer, he looked really good. She suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you just marry my sister? My sister is also a little tired. I How about using my small courtyard as a dowry?"

Ding Hongxi said quickly: "Sister Ying, don't joke with me. I don't even have a formal job. At most, I can only support myself. You are drinking the northwest wind with me!"

The smile on Sister Ying's face immediately faded when she heard this, she waved her hand and said, "Then get out of here."

Ding Hongxi had an idea, hey, what a coincidence!

Then he smiled and said, "Sister Ying, although I can't do it, there are people who can!"

"Who?" Sister Ying glanced at him and asked. Ding Hong said happily: "Chen Zuwang!"

"Him!" Sister Ying said disdainfully: "This guy is even more useless than you. At most, he is just an unqualified pretty boy."

Ding Hong said happily: "But he is rich!"

Sister Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "That guy is rich? Why didn't I see it?"

Ding Hongxi said in surprise: "Xueru Silk Shop on Qianmen Street is not too far away from here. Haven't you heard of it?"

Sister Ying shook her head and said: "That's my sad place. I haven't been there much since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Chen Zuwang has also been here in the past two years, and he doesn't talk much about family affairs..."

"Oh." Ding Hong said happily, "If that's the case, it's normal that you don't know. The silk shop Chen's also moved here from the south after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Sister Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said, "Then is Chen Zuwang still the eldest young master?"

Ding Hong said happily: "Exactly."

Before Sister Ying could be happy, Ding Hongxi changed his voice and said, "However, as a man, Chen Zuwang is a little stuck. The family business is actually controlled by his sister Chen Xueru."

Sister Ying was a little surprised and said: "It's really rare for a woman to be the head of the household!"

Ding Hong said happily: "As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Then Chen Zuwang is the only son of the Chen family. If you follow him and have a good belly, you will definitely be better than you are now. When the time comes, your health will be better." As a wife of the Chen family, isn’t it natural for me to interfere in the family’s property and business?”

Sister Ying was immediately moved when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "He won't give in to this matter so easily!"

Ding Hongxi said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether you can completely lose face, and if I add fuel to the flames, you can catch him in bed..."

Sister Ying gritted her teeth and said, "If you can marry into a good family, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, so face is nothing."

"Yes, when the time comes, you will bite the child in your belly to death. It belongs to Chen Zuwang." Ding Hong said happily.

Sister Ying looked at him with a smile and said: "If this thing is really going to happen, you will benefit from it later."

As he spoke, he touched Ding Hongxi's chest and kept moving downwards.

Ding Hongxi swallowed and said, "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sister Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's not the only way. Today, Sister Ying will make an exception for you..."

……

Shisha and sandy rain after dusk.

The sky that had been overcast all day finally began to rain.

Xu Deyong was holding Xiao Lier and lying on the bamboo rocking chair in the house, listening to the radio and watching the rain.

"ah……."

Xiao Li'er's small body sat on Xu Deyong's belly and pointed outside with her little finger.

When spending time with your child, you should try your best to give your child feedback, even if he doesn't understand it, it will be beneficial to the development of his brain.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Oh, it's raining outside, it's falling from the sky."

After saying that, he got up and hugged Xiao Li'er and went out to feel it.

Raindrops fell on her little face, and Xiao Li'er had a look of surprise on her face. She touched her face with her little hands, looked up at the sky, and then turned around and hid in Xu Deyong's arms.

Xu Deyong smiled, patted her butt and returned to the house.

After that, Xiao Lier continued to watch the rain outside.

At this time, Xu Deyong heard a piece of news: my country's first batch of self-manufactured cars, the Jiefang brand cars, had left the factory in Chunshi No. 1 Automobile Factory, ending the history of my country being unable to produce cars.

In the same year, the Dartmouth Conference in Country M launched artificial intelligence.

This shows the huge gap between the two countries at that time.

However, in just seven years since the founding of our country, we have been able to build our own airplanes, tanks, and cars from scratch. This is so difficult and great.

This is certainly the reason for Dasu's aid, but we fought it all with our blood.

You know, when Dasu liberated the Northeast, Dasu did not allow even a screw to be left in all the heavy industries in the Northeast.

Moreover, the Soviet Union did not recognize that we were a socialist country of the working class and believed that we were only a country of farmers.

The facts are similar.

What was formulated at that time was the original "New Democratic Development Strategy", which was to develop step by step, from agriculture to light industry to heavy industry.

But a sudden war directly brought about the industrialization of our country. Dasu relied on us to fight the war, so it provided large-scale assistance.

We received assistance but we didn’t know how to manage it, so others came to guide us in management.

Of course, these are not free. For example, the import of complete sets of equipment from the Soviet Union that is directly related to the "First Five-Year Plan" mostly takes the form of trade.

比如，我国要在59年以前供应大苏16万吨钨精矿、11万吨锡、3万吨锑、3.5万吨钼精矿、9万吨檬胶以及相当数量的农副产品。

The key projects introduced during the 50-52 recovery period were mainly through loans. For necessary scientific and technical materials, Dasu mainly provides them at low prices or even free of charge through book information exchange and project or equipment import contracts. This is a special benefit that my country received during the period when the two countries maintained strategic cooperative relations.

(This paragraph comes from Teacher Wen Tiejun’s “Eight Crisis”)

It can be seen that at that time we really did not hesitate to develop at all costs. "

However, next year, when my country's "First Five-Year Plan" and "Second Five-Year Plan" period are about to begin, Dasu's comprehensive industrialization assistance to our country regardless of cost will suddenly stop.

The reason is naturally because of the main Q problem.

This, combined with subsequent natural disasters, resulted in a disaster.

This series of problems are closely connected, like dominoes, one falling on top of the other.

The mountain depends on everyone to support you. You can’t rely on anyone and you have to rely on yourself.

"Crash..."

The rain outside is getting heavier and the storm is coming, and no one can truly be alone.

Listening to the sound of rain, Xiao Li'er went to bed early today. Xu Deyong got up and gently put her on the small bed, put on his rain boots and raincoat, and went to the tavern with an umbrella.

The temple is too high and the world is too far away. It cannot be controlled by human beings. All he can do is hold an umbrella for the people around him...
