Chapter 42: The Flowing Water Seat
"Scar Liu" was acquitted, Zhang Haikui blamed him, Zhu Lianhua hooked up with three and four, and Yang Guiying was kidnapped...... A series of rumors spread through the docks. Most of the "bangbang" are looking forward to the return of Boss Liu, and the scattered gangs and gangs and the strong eat the weak have reduced the income of most people, and some people have no work to do at all; The bosses of the water business are looking forward to Liu Yonghan's return, and the wanton inflated labor expenses and the chaotic situation of fighting for each other have greatly increased their costs; Even a few police officers in charge of the wharf of the South Shore Police Station are looking forward to the return of "Scar Liu", and the chaos caused by this "bangbang" is wave after wave......
Liu Yonghan is still back in the end! returned with Liu Fushun, Yang Guiying and his hearty laughter! Or the shrewd little flat head with a long scar head, or the heroic hooked nose lined with round little grunt eyes, or the ruffian like a ruffian with a few words of incomprehensible Chinese!
"Some people think that Lao Tzu 'dies before he gets out of school', and I myself think that from now on, I will 'make heroes cry'! But he Hai Kuizi is ruthless, the sky does have eyes, Lao Tzu is not only innocent, but also meritorious! Yesterday, the court pronounced a verdict, none of them were less than five years old, Hai Kuizi and Widow Zhu killed people for money, one Ximen Qing, one Pan Jinlian, but this is New China, not the Great Song Dynasty! Even the officials of the Food Bureau and dozens of subordinate grain stations are in one pot! His mother's prison meal is delicious and leisurely, and those turtle sons enjoy it!
"Today is the beginning of winter, but 'Xiaochun has not been gone for many days'! My surname Liu went to the detention center for a few days to have a free meal, and a regimental commander taught me one lesson after another, saying that I was engaged in capitalism and became the emperor! He's right, that's right, I'll change it from today! I cut my hair and decided to start from scratch, starting from Lidong, then I am also a new official, and the new official will have to 'burn three fires' when he takes office!
"The big guy has suffered with me, I'm sorry for everyone in the past few years, we can't live under the bridge, and we will all move to the warehouse of the West Wharf in a few days! Don't look at the place that is on fire, too much fire is a sign of prosperity! Boss Xiao of the furniture factory brought in wood after a while, invited a carpenter, made a high and low bed, and spread it all in one go! Lao Tzu rented another warehouse in the west.
"This is my first fire. This second fire is to divide the east, middle and west into pieces in the future, Li Gouzi, Luo Mazi, and Zhang Laosan each bring a piece, and they do a lot of work, and the commission is reduced from the original point to half a point. Of course, the warehouse is also for you to see, if it catches fire, it should be compensated, and Lao Tzu will not spare anyone.
"The third fire, repair the stove room! On the west side of the west warehouse, there is a stove room, and the coolies have ready-made food to eat after the work, which is very comfortable! Which one is cooked? Mother-in-law! If you think you are good at cooking but don't want to do the work, you come to me after work at noon, and the salary is still open. If you feel that you have plenty of time to cook, or if you like that man and want to pull, that's your business, anyway, we will pay according to how much you move, and you will get money when you go! But only if the meal is ready! Yang Guiying is in charge of the stove room for the time being!
"I'm these three fires, I don't make a word, if I have any opinions, come to me privately! I'm a state official, I can set fires, and people can light lamps! I know you joke about being a cuckold in private, and I take it as a joke! But after today, no one is allowed to mention it! 'Thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat, ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree'...... Get off the goods! ”
Then there was a round of cheers, cheers, and applause, not only of the gang of sympathetic coolies, but also of the bosses standing at the bow of the ship! In less than ten minutes, the "three fires" burned the furnace in early winter, and the hearts of the people who were scattered everywhere just now were condensed at once!
After Scar Liu laughed all the time, he took Fushun to board the ship one by one to apologize. "Scar Liu" is still the same Scar Liu, and the water wharf is still the same water wharf!
Liu Yonghan did what he said and took out his savings from previous years. The old warehouse, burned beyond recognition, was rejuvenated inside and out. The original one gate has been turned into three, a men's house, a women's house and a kitchen, with a communal latrine. The sturdy wooden bunk beds are really two rows from east to west. "Scar Liu" is no exception, sleeping with his brothers! One of the two corners of the men's house is used to stack labor tools, and the other is used to stack Fushun's pile of "inexplicable" broken stones. Fushun received extra care again, "Scar Liu" deliberately separated a small "accounting room" next to the kitchen, not only a bed but also a table, but Fushun likes to sleep in a big bunk!
Liu Yonghan nodded with satisfaction, ran back to the bottom of the bridge to find out his long-sealed pen and ink, bought a big red paper, and wrote down such a pair with a stroke of the pen:
The great river east went to the waves to sweep away the eternal romantic characters,
The trail west back to the eagle evokes a sense of ambition and pride.
Fu Shun tilted his head, basically not recognizing these cursive characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. The uncle read it proudly, and also told several love stories of Zhou Yu in the Three Kingdoms. Fu Shun listened in a fog, playing with the big pen he had never seen before, and "wrote" some crooked black rakes.
"Scar Liu" called Fu Shun, "Shun'er, I will make three chapters of the law for them, and I will still ask for three chapters of the law for you: first, temporarily put down the mind of looking for your eldest brother, and take care of the accounts on the dock, I promised to help you find it, and I will definitely help you find it, and I will give my name and address to the bosses of the running boat; Second, in private, I am your uncle, but in front of outsiders, especially those ship owners, you must call me godfather; Third, you must study, I bought you some books, and asked me if you don't know the words, do you think you can't figure out those formulas and legends, I can find someone to tell you! As for sending you to school, you can think about it again. ”
Fu Shun nodded a little embarrassed, these three chapters, except for the second chapter, which one is not for his own good? Looking at this great benefactor who suddenly didn't bring a dirty word, recalling the bits and pieces of the past few months, tears welled up like a spring......
When he was free in the afternoon, Fu Shun hurriedly wrote a letter to his family, telling him how Shufen had spent this thrilling month, telling him that he and Sister Gui Ying were safe, and that they would be waiting for the appearance of their eldest brother at this dock for the time being, and that they would be waiting for the appearance of their eldest brother at this pier, and that they would be told Uncle Liu Yonghan's two "three fires......
On the day of the completion of the "new house", the group of "hillbillies" under the bridge finally "moved", and more than 100 people were in a hurry, although the distance was less than 200 meters, but the "bangbang" was eager to beat gongs and drums around Jiangyun City. A few days ago, the women took the time to help the men wash and dry the quilt covers that had been separated by a year, and dozens of men who were not afraid of the cold also took a bath in the river, so as not to bring in a "bad luck".
Liu Yonghan was so unhappy that he negotiated with the bosses about the moving time, and all the "bangbang" had a half-day holiday. The women all went to the kitchen to work, Gui Ying also went to the food station to buy back ten catties of pork, and last night near the city, she also went back to her home in the countryside to bring some vegetables, and some even brought children. The couplet written by Liu Yonghan was pasted on the lintel, and the guys who were usually hidden in the bridge hole were moved out, and the large and small wooden tables and chopsticks were really spread out on the side of the road outside the warehouse!
In addition to these "bangbangs" who worked hard, there were also more than a dozen bosses known to "Scar Liu" who came to eat, and after saying "business is prosperous" to Liu Yonghan, you talked about their own business sentence by sentence.
The largest table on the side of the road was about the size of Fushun's Eight Immortals table. At noon, the seats on the "Eight Immortals Table" were empty, waiting for the arrival of a distinguished guest.
The distinguished guests were late and did not immediately take their seats, but inspected the "dormitory" converted from this warehouse. "Lao Liu, I have two suggestions! First, your fire-fighting facilities are still not in place, tomorrow you go to the fire brigade to get a few fire extinguishers back to prevent it from happening; Second, the toilet should be bigger, you have so many people, you must go into the pit with feces, don't be like under the bridge, residents are complaining, the most important thing is to prevent infectious diseases! ”
"Li is right, change it, change it immediately...... No, I'll change it after eating, Brother Li, come and sit here! Liu Yonghan smiled and led Li Xiang to the side of the "Eight Immortals Table". Sister Fushun and Gui Ying, who were serving the food, put down the dishes in their hands and greeted them happily, one by one "Uncle Li", which made Li Xiang smile too!
Several jars of old wine were opened, and the "bangbang" were unprecedentedly happy, which was more lively than the New Year in the countryside and more festive than the wine in the countryside. "Everyone is happy for Lao Tzu, but the premise is that it can't affect our afternoon moves, these big bosses can make money with a word, and today they have all left their business to support us!" After a few words, "Scar Liu" sat down and picked up his glass to toast Director Li with a glass of wine.
"It's okay to drink, but before that, I still go to work in the afternoon, I drink three glasses, and it doesn't affect my work! This glass of wine is not for you to respect me, but for me to bring you and a few bosses to respect everyone! Director Li spoke, several bosses quickly picked up their wine glasses and stood up, Li Xiang continued: "Brothers and sisters, you are the hardest, get up early and be greedy for darkness, it's not easy, but you are also the greatest proletariat, come, do this glass!" ”
When everyone heard the affirmation and encouragement of the "cadres", they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and after a glass of wine, the exhaustion disappeared.
Liu Yonghan hurriedly filled the second glass of wine. Li Xiang, who was standing, picked up his glass and continued: "The second glass of wine, I salute a few big bosses, this title has been stopped for many years, and it has only risen in the past few years, you are self-reliant, and you are also contributing to Jiang Yun and even the whole society, but don't be a bourgeoisie who squeezes juice and sucks blood, I wish you a prosperous business, do it!" Li Xiang took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, and looked at the bosses at this table and the adjacent table.
"I want to toast you for the third glass of wine, Lao Liu!"
"Where is it, I respect you, Brother Li!"
"I still have two opinions on you personally: one is to say less swear words, I am a soldier, I used to swear more than you said, after all, others don't listen to it well, not to mention that you are still a scholar, I can change it, you can too! The second is that you have a doll under the age of 16, you must pay attention to proportion, pay attention to safety, you are responsible for what happens! Isn't it time to start mentioning reform and opening up? You should register a company, register a company, and give people the minimum protection and human rights! I heard about your 'three fires', which made a good start, and I also believe that you Liu Yonghan can do what he says and do better! ”
Liu Yonghan pondered the truth in these words, and nodded incessantly, "What Director Li said is extremely true, I must pay attention, work hard, persevere, and constantly improve, and do it first!" "Scar Liu" is difficult to convince others, this Li Xiang is the first!
After three rounds of drinking, Li Xiang really asked Gui Ying to remove the cup, and specially asked Liu Yonghan to drink the glass of wine in front of Fushun and let Gui Ying take it away. "You guys drink and eat well, I'm going to go first, Lao Liu, you remember the fire extinguisher!" Li Xiang, who hadn't eaten a few bites of food, got up and left, and "Scar Liu" sent a cut, and came back to continue drinking......
