In fact, if Hong Tao's memory is a little better, he can not lose the profit of this bicycle and let the stationmaster Liu still thank himself, but unfortunately the memory is uncontrollable, many things are born after the memory, will remember, and then regretfully patted his thigh and said: Hey, why didn't I remember it earlier!

"Hey, it's a loss, it's a loss! Why didn't I think about it earlier!" Hong Tao was holding an umbrella at this time, standing at the mouth of the alley, looking at the huge hole in the ground and regretting it.

This summer's rain was very heavy, and God poured water down like he didn't want money, and the roofs of many old houses began to leak, and the house of Stationmaster Liu's house was also among them. The housing management office has no good way, so it can only use linoleum, tarpaulin and other things, take advantage of the sunny day to lay on the roof first, and then transfer materials and manpower, ready to wait for the rainy season to renovate this old house.

Stationmaster Liu's family also followed Hong Tao's grandfather to the altar of earth last year to get a batch of building materials, which were piled up in the open space at the mouth of the alley, but his family had few hands, and only one son was still at home, and the eldest daughter was married early, and the labor was not enough, so the small kitchen was not built. Now that he had caught up with the housing management office to send someone to repair the old house, he also pulled a lot of white ash and sand over and piled it up with his family's building materials, which made him see hope, so he found the person in charge of the engineering team, plugged a large front door, and asked people to take the time to help him build the small kitchen.

Seeing that the rainy season is about to pass, who would have thought that this afternoon the open space at the mouth of the alley suddenly had a situation. After a muffled sound, a large pit with a diameter of nearly 1o meters appeared in the clearing, which was not very deep, but the building materials in the stationmaster Liu's house were reimbursed.

How could the ground collapse for no reason? In this era, there was no subway, and there would not be any excessive groundwater pumping, so how could there be space underneath? Indeed, if it were placed in other cities, this situation might not be too strict, but in Beijing, this kind of thing is not surprising, because the underground after the second ring road in Beijing is empty, not naturally formed but artificially excavated, and the name is called an air-raid shelter.

The term "preparing for war and preparing for famine" may not have been heard by many people born after the 8o years, and it has probably become a major job in China since the beginning of 6o years. The only thing they can see with their own eyes is to dig air-raid shelters, which are dug in many big cities across the country, but Beijing is the most powerful, systematic and comprehensive.

By the beginning of the 70s, what scale had Beijing's air-raid shelters reached? The total length and the total number of people we could accommodate were certainly nowhere to go, but we could make it clear in the vernacular, and we could explain it in one sentence: Within the Second Ring Road, as long as there are buildings on the ground, there are air-raid shelters underground!

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, these bomb shelters are not isolated, most of them are connected, and what is on the ground and what there is underground. This is not the author here to make it up, the author's unlucky uncle once in order to cheat the author 5 cents, tirelessly to take the extremely curious author to explore below, the result of 4 people holding 2 flashlights, walked for more than 4 hours, the flashlights are out of power, only to find an exit, drill out to see, has been from the grandmother's yard under the courtyard, walked to the opposite of the Beijing Railway Station.

Fortunately, the people in the courtyard used the air-raid shelter as a warehouse, and they were opening the hole to move things that day, so that with the light, Hong Tao and his uncle found the exit, otherwise starving to death below is not a new thing. At this time, the underground of Beijing City was a complete underground city, with a large auditorium that could accommodate thousands of people, small rooms one by one, passages and partition doors extending in all directions, and electricity and lighting equipment in some places.

There are air-raid shelter entrances in almost every yard, unit, office, and school, some of which are covered with a stone slab, some of which are elaborate, and a building is built with bricks or something, and a movable door is made, some of which will be locked, and some of which will be closed at will.

At that time, children did not have many games to play, so the bomb shelter became a great place to play Tibetan cats and explore, especially among boys. But the internal passages of this sprawling dungeon are so complicated that they can collapse or be flooded in some places, and there is no electricity supply in most areas, so the flashlights in the hands of children or small torches made of linoleum will not work. Once you get lost, it's dangerous, and you're likely to be trapped underground and never get out.

As for this kind of landslide, it is not the first time, after years of rainwater infiltration, some places are already not very strong, just in time to pile up heavy objects, it is not scientific not to collapse. In fact, this place also collapsed in Hong Tao's last life, because there was a truck pumping dung parked in the open space, although the reason changed, but the result did not change at all, and the history thing is really stubborn.

The reason why Hong Tao regretted it was because he remembered this landslide, but unfortunately he didn't think about it, if he could remember, he persuaded the stationmaster Liu's family to move those building materials earlier, which is also a big favor, and it is estimated that he will not need to take the profit of his bicycle again. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world to take, and it's too late to say anything, but it's just the right opportunity to let grandpa go to visit, and by the way, to reveal the bicycle to him, which can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, when their family is immersed in the grief of the destruction of the material, the effect of the good news of the bicycle should be stronger.

"Brother Hu, you are my own brother, I originally wanted to build a small kitchen for the second child, so that he could live loosely and quickly after getting married, who would have thought that he would catch up with the natural disaster**! We have never done anything lacking in virtue in our lives, why is it my turn to be on my head!" Stationmaster Liu listened to Grandpa Hongtao's meaning, and held the old man's hand for a long time.

"Hey, it's useless to say that mysterious thing, the person who starved to death in the early years did something immoral? should starve to death and starve to death, this is fate, even if you are unlucky, you can't look at the joke on the side if you don't catch up, you say no. This car, I didn't get it for you, it was part of Xiaotao's mother's unit, and it was probably also a disposal product, don't dislike it. "Hong Tao's grandfather has now begun to lie with Hong Tao, and he has a nose and an eye.

"Hey, look at what you said, what brand else do I choose, I have to ask grandpa to sue grandma if I have one, you said that today's children are too, and they have to have bicycles and watches to get married, let's just buy a few pieces of candy at that time!"

"I can't say that, the times have changed, what are other people's children like, we have to be about the same, or the children will complain about us in the future, you say no! It's done, when you have the kung fu, go to my place to get the car, oh, by the way, my little grandson has nothing to do and likes to tinker with all kinds of messy things, you said I'll find it for him, I see that you have a lot of bits and pieces in the acquisition station, can you sell me some in the future, and it also saves me from going around to burden him. Grandpa also followed Store Manager Liu to complain twice, and then pulled Hong Tao to prepare to leave, and when he left, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and casually mentioned it.

"What else to buy, take what you like, that's scrap, and there is no accurate number, last time the radiator was too much, what does ordinary little things cost!"

"Don't, you're a job, we can't take advantage of the public, we can pay as much as we want, we can't miss a point, I went to Ming'er, my little grandson, you help take care of it, if you don't obey, you will beat him directly!" Grandpa said very generously.

"You spare me, you won't play with me when the time comes! Brother Hu, you go slowly, I'll take the money in a while, and I'll go to your house to find you at night!" Store Manager Liu hurriedly shook his hand, saying that he didn't dare to beat Hong Tao, and by the way, he also set the time to take the car, for him, this is the right thing.

So far, Hong Tao has completed all his short-term plans, first getting rid of the mental torture of the nursery, and then being able to replenish the lack of protein, and having his own small space, and then finding a business that can hide behind to make money, and finally taking down the scrap acquisition station, he feels that according to his current ability, what he can do has basically been done, as for whether it will work in the future, how useful it can be, then no one knows.

Now Hong Tao can be regarded as a busy man, he is not idle all day long, in addition to going to school to suspend classes, tutoring Jin Yue, teaching his aunt to cut, he also has to run to his grandfather's hut every once in a while to toss bicycle parts for a few hours, once he has free time, he will run to the scrap yard behind his home to play chess with Stationmaster Liu, by the way, he will touch the purchase station to find out what he can use, and then buy it home according to the purchase price, and hide it under the bed in his cabin.

At that time, the scrap yards were all state-run, and there would be one in each residential area, usually a house facing the street, with a large counter in the house, and a rack weighing on it, and the backyard was a warehouse, and the collected waste was placed there. If you have any scrap copper and iron, torn clothes and paper at home, you have to send them to the purchasing station yourself, and then weigh them by the pound.
