Chapter 7 Peanuts
By the end of April, Hong Yanwu's pace of life had basically returned to normal. Vertices are updated the fastest
In addition to going to work every day and picking up Shui Xiaoying, all that is left is to continue to spend a lot of money and "hug" good things at home.
Life is also like his "spirit", which has also undergone changes from low to high, from volcanic to upward.
Speaking of God, this god is also interesting, just like an old man in the capital who fiddles with his grandson while drinking.
Just take a chopstick dipped in some white wine, so spicy that you squeeze your eyebrows, tears, immediately rub out a few peanuts, and then feed you fragrant.
So what happened one after another is a good thing.
The first "peanut rice" fed by God was the self-built house of the "polar bear".
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both successfully got the keys to their respective two-bedroom apartments.
Although the floor is a six-story top floor, it is quite laborious to climb it, and it is not warm in winter and not cool in summer.
Fortunately, these two suites are door-to-door in the same unit according to Hong Yanwu's requirements.
What's more, who doesn't lack a house these days?
Upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones are almost everyone's dream, but where the house is more wolf and less meaty.
Like this self-built house, there is not even the most valued water among the new workers.
At the very least, all of them are veteran workers who have worked for more than five years, and they have to be men to have this blessing.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan can be regarded as the only ones in the whole factory, which naturally makes many people very red.
But to be honest, it's not pretending, Hong Yanwu himself can't be happy.
Because he originally built this room, he was worried that Sugar Heart would be able to come back.
Although the small courtyard of Qifenglou Hutong has been confiscated, when the time comes, if you get this house, won't you have a place to get married?
And he can still live with Chen Liquan door to door, how good is this?
But now that hope is gone, this house is just a "storehouse" for him.
At most, it has a role as a temporary dormitory, like him and Chen Liquan, if they are tired from work, they can sleep nearby or something.
But don't forget, there are factory leaders living here, and it's not easy to get in and out.
So this room is not very important to him, and he really doesn't care much about it.
When he didn't expect that the family knew the news that he and Quanzi had got the house key, the one who was the happiest and most envious for them was Hong Yanwen.
He actually said that if a man wants to open a house, he must have his own house.
This sentence immediately made Hong Yanwu feel that something was wrong.
After a deep chat, he really found that the second brother's life now is not as good as he thought.
According to Hong Yanwen's words, he is a subordinate to others during the day, and a son-in-law at night, and his every move is under the noses of others.
Even if you stay at home and smoke cold, the Xu family can't tell when they will come over.
Xu Chongya doesn't care, he will inevitably be nervous, and he will not dare to relax at any time.
Hong Yanwu felt sorry for his second brother, knowing that this kind of tiredness was completely from the heart, and it was definitely not something that could be made up by sleeping.
He simply stuffed the key to his suite to Hong Yanwen.
didn't let him refuse, just said that he would definitely not lack a house in the future, and he didn't like to live in a unit.
Right now, it's enough for him and Izumi to have a suite.
Looking back, the second brother is willing to move the house over completely, or come and stay for a few days when he feels awkward.
But he can only provide a house, and whether the Xu family is willing, the second sister-in-law agrees or not, it depends on Hong Yanwen's own coordination.
Hong Yanwen pushed a few times, and when he saw that his younger brother was sincere, he was naturally overjoyed and thanked him.
In this way, these two houses still have some practical use, and they are not vacant, leaving Hong Yanwu to dry in his hands.
followed by the second "peanut", it was the Hong family's phone call.
Not only in Forvure, but also in the old house on Coal Market Street, the front and rear feet of the two telephones were installed almost at the same time.
You know, it was not easy to get a phone call at that time, and you had to queue up.
Although it was not the most difficult time, there were 23,000 households waiting for installation in 1982.
This year, more than 5,000 households have been added, and it stands to reason that you have to wait for half a year and a year, unless you go through the back door.
It's just that Hong Yanwu really didn't go through the back door this time, although he originally wanted to go, but it wasn't because something happened to "Sugar Heart", so he didn't have this thought.
As a result, I ignored it, but I unintentionally inserted willows and took the "shit luck".
On the other side of the street from Zixin Road, there is a family whose number has been approved, but because their house is too far from the telephone pole.
If the staff of the telephone office simply adopt the method of "renting poles and hanging lines", they will have to temporarily increase a lot of expenses.
Later, halfway through the installation, the family pondered whether it was cost-effective and regretted it.
I also specially entrusted the relationship, and I had to return the fee, saying that I wouldn't pretend.
So the telephone bureau didn't want to bear this deficit in vain, so it used the name of a "rush fee" to try to contact several nearby users to be installed, to see if anyone was willing to pay a few more money, and they could install it in advance.
With Hong Yanwu's wealth, he was naturally willing to be the head of the wrongs, so he happily lay on the board and asked the telephone bureau to "cut" the "meat" of 300 yuan from his body.
And the old house on Coal Market Street is more worry-free.
Since the house across the street from the main entrance of Hong's house was about to install a telephone, the people at the telephone bureau didn't bother to make a second trip, so they took the initiative to advance the ranking number of Hong's house.
At that time, two households were installed at once, and the Hong family was considered to be stained with other people's light.
Needless to say, Hong Yanwu is convenient now.
For some hidden things, it is safer to call at home.
It's just that this matter, although most of the family members don't object, but only the eldest brother Hong Yanzheng is very distressed.
Seeing that he was not pleasing to the eye, he was not angry again, and finally seized the opportunity and began to count him down.
"When did the family ask you to call Ann? Ah? Are you a minister or a director? Thousands of dollars to put this score? And in a pretend, I said that you can win the championship at the level of burning buns!"
Hong Yanwu had already estimated that there would be this one, unhurried, and bland.
"My eldest brother, don't say that, it's convenient to have a phone, this is also the future development trend of modern life, and you have to install it sooner or later. You see, in the future, if your unit has something to do to work overtime, make a phone call and come back, and your parents will not worry. Let my sister-in-law have a score in her heart, and when the time comes, pinch some hot rice for you, and you come back just to eat ready-made, isn't it?"
Hong Yanzheng pursed his lips, yin and yang weird.
"It's as if we don't have a public phone here. I called the West Courtyard from the unit and asked Qiuzi's mother to pass it on my behalf? Just for your convenience, we have to pay 60 yuan a month for our two phones. That's a ...... higher than my salary."
Hong Yanwu sighed.
"Yes, big brother, you are also distressed. Anyway, I paid for this money, so I don't need you to pay for it. I'm happy to spend this money, and besides, it's always a good thing for our parents to be able to make phone calls without leaving the house, right? Actually, it's just me who is inconvenient, and I don't have to use the public phone in the West Courtyard in most cases?"
He was too lazy to deal with it, but when he said this, Hong Yanzheng became even more angry.
Because with his values, no matter how you look at it, it's all a confused account.
"That's right. You kid knows it yourself, so why are you still doing this pants off and farting?"
"Do you say you're stupid? You live in the West Courtyard, and you obviously guard the public phone, but you don't have to settle down at home. In the future, if you can't run two more steps, you will have to spend money to continue to make public phone calls? Are you living like this?"
"And your room, I really don't know what you think, the unit given by the unit doesn't go to live in, it has to be consumed with the West Courtyard. You're not going to have a problem with your brain, are you? I'm going to take you to the hospital. ”
But he didn't expect Hong Yanwu to have something to block him.
"Oh, my brother. You're such a salty turnip, and you love to unnecessary hearts too much. It's normal that I'm different from what you think. Why don't we two deal with each other since we were young?"
"Actually, you still say that I, let's take a look at our parents first, why don't they move to the old house to live? This is not only a matter of material conditions, but also an emotional problem. Neighbors and acquaintances here for decades have a human touch to take care of each other. For me, there are also hot meals that I don't have to do myself. Whoever can't understand these is stupid. ”
"There's also the matter of installing a phone. If you're right, I'm just making it, I'm just having a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, what's the matter? Do you want me to show you more stamps? I still have more than 200 full sheets in my hand. To tell you the truth, my monkey fare has gone up again. That ticket is not one piece, it's more than three yuan, you didn't expect it, right?"
This news immediately shocked Hong Yanzheng.
That is to say, after less than a year, the stamps in Hong Yanwu's hands have more than tripled. Even if he deliberately concealed the amount, according to Hong Yanwu, he should have sixty or seventy thousand yuan in his hand now, which is enough to catch up with the output value of their factory in one quarter.
Hey, what's going on! Others have worked hard all their lives, but it's not as good as this stinky boy lying down and sleeping for a year!
And in this way, if he persuaded him again, his voice trembled.
"Mom and Dad...... Do you know that? I'll tell you...... You should sell the stamps quickly! This is not good, and the price will not be so high one day! Also, the third child, you really have to listen to the eldest brother. There is a saying called ...... It's called 'always thinking about the day without a day, don't wait for the time to think about the time', living a life is about a long stream, you sell it and quickly deposit it in the bank! You have to learn to save money......"
How did he know that his bitter kindness only got Hong Yanwu a very indifferent smile.
"Thank you, big brother, I understand this. In fact, you don't need to say that it is so elegant, isn't it 'rich and you can't see the big baked cake, and if you don't have money, you can only see the big baked cake'. But I really can't listen to you, and tell you plainly, in all things, money will depreciate, and I will keep nothing for me. If you don't believe me, you can ask our dad to see if what I said makes sense......"
"So, why should I save money? I can still make money if the stamps continue to be shelved, which is more suitable than saving money. I want to spend it when I have money, and only when I spend it is my own. Otherwise, what's the use of having more money left? In the end, it's twenty-nine pounds of oil, and it's just a small wooden box......
Hong Yanzheng didn't understand for a while, and asked what he meant. Then he was stunned by Hong Yanwu's witty remark "Go into the chimney alley", and he was so angry that he stared at him.
But this is not over, Hong Yanwu still has a more immoral run behind.
"Of course, big brother, some people like to save money and don't spend it, and I can't say it's wrong. After all, porcelain roosters, iron cranes, glass rats, and glass cats can still save a little money. For example, at the end of the day, such a person will be able to use gold instead of a wooden urn. After all the hard work in your life, you have to be beautiful again, right? How comfortable is this in that little gold box. It's a pity, you still have to worry about one, don't let others be greedy. Otherwise, if you go in the morning, you'll have to be poured out at night......"
These words made Hong Yanzheng grind his teeth at that time, and he couldn't wait to take off the shoes on his feet and throw them over.
