Chapter Seventy-Two: Shi Er's New Life

At this time, Shi Er was standing at the door of the Baihu official hall with some nervousness, ready to ask the soldiers standing guard for directions, and ask the workers of the soap workshop where to report. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But the soldiers standing guard were all very strong, and they stood there with rifles very majestic, which made Shi Er, a farmer who had never seen the world, a little afraid.

Before he could speak, the soldier with the gun saw him standing there for a long time, and asked him: "Did you come to the soap workshop to report?" ”

Shi Er hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Do you know where to report? ”

The soldier pointed to the hall and said, "Report to the fortification hall to the west of the lobby!" You will be assigned a house there! ”

"Thank you, Master Bing!"

Shi Er cringed and walked into the Baihu official hall, looked to the west, and sure enough, he saw a large house with many people standing in the same house as himself, which was probably the public works hall. Shi Er walked into the house with a quilt and luggage on his back.

"Reported by the soap workshop?"

"Yes!"

"Where's the interviewer's cards!"

Card? Shi Er hurriedly took out the stamped card from the package and respectfully handed it to the officials in the public building hall.

"How many members of your family moved to Fanjiazhuang?"

"I'm alone!"

The Li family, who was in charge, nodded, looked at the account book in his hand and said, "Then I will divide you into a small villa room, and assign you to the west room on the second floor of No. 52 Zhengyuan Street, and share a hall, kitchen, bath room and latrine with three people, and the rent will be 70 yuan a month, and the rent will be deducted from the monthly money." ”

Shi Er heard the official say a lot, and he didn't understand what the west room on the second floor of Zhengyuan Street meant, but he only understood that he didn't have to pay for this residence, so he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay!" ”

"Huang Laosan, you take this worker to No. 52 Zhengyuan Street. You wait and ask him if he is short of money, and if he is short of money, he will give him a month's money first! ”

"Got it!"

After the official finished speaking, Huang Laosan, who was in charge, walked out and took Shi Er to Zhengyuan Street.

That Huang Laosan seemed to be a man of few words, and he didn't talk to Shi Er along the way. Shi Er observed Fanjiazhuang while walking, only to see that there were people everywhere who were repairing houses and repairing city walls, and there were ox carts transporting wood and bricks on the road.

After walking half a mile on North Street, Huang Laosan, who led the way, walked into Zhengyuan Street with Shi Eryi. The Zhengyuan Street is on the west side of the north of the city, and the brand-new villas are densely built on both sides.

Finding the No. 52 villa, Huang Laosan looked at Shi Er with a smile and said, "It's here, it's here!" ”

Shi Er looked at the house with his eyes, and saw that the house had two floors, with a black tile roof, bluestone thresholds, and a smooth wall of cement brushes coated with snow-white lime, which looked very beautiful. Shi Er was accustomed to seeing leaky earthen houses in Shijia Village, and felt that such magnificent houses were lived in by the old men in the city.

But how did this Huang Laosan lead himself here, this is the house for himself to live in?

Huang Laosan knocked on the door, waited for a while and saw that no one responded, so he pushed the door open directly.

"The others haven't reported yet, you're the first resident!"

Huang Laosan stood in the house, and when he saw that Shi Er didn't follow him into the house, he asked with a smile, "What are you doing standing at the door?" Why don't you come in yet? ”

Shi Er's face was surprised, and he opened his eyes wide and asked, "This is the house for me to live in?" ”

Huang Laosan smiled and said, "Yes, don't come in quickly!"

Shi Er woke up from a dream, and then walked into the house with his luggage. Huang Laosan took him to the door of a bedroom on the west side of the second floor and pushed the bedroom open.

The bedroom is three meters long from east to west and four meters wide from north to south, and is very spacious, with concrete walls painted with snow-white lime. Inside, there is a double bed, a wardrobe, a copywriter and a simple wooden chair with a tung oil lamp on the copy.

These furniture, such a house, are already luxurious in the eyes of Shi Er, who was born in a farmer's household.

"This is your room, seventy dollars a month's rent! Deducted from the monthly money. ”

Shi Er asked again in disbelief: "This is a room for me to live alone?" ”

Huang Laosan said with a smile: "Yes, the kitchen, bathroom and latrine of the hall are all downstairs, and you and the other three people in this villa share it." Now there are many empty houses in the village, if you don't have enough one room in the future, you can apply to rent two rooms for 140 yuan a month. If you want to support the elderly, you can rent a whole villa. ”

Shi Er still couldn't believe that such a good house was for himself, so he asked, "How can you live in my lord's house for me?" ”

Huang Laosan laughed when he heard this, and said, "What old man's house? This is the worker's house. The lord's house is much bigger than this, and it has a big yard! Even the medium villa I live in is better than this. ”

Shi Er believed that this house was for him to live in, and bit his lip and stopped talking.

Huang Laosan saw his restrained appearance and said with a smile: "What are you doing with the quilt on your back, hurry up and make the bed." ”

When Shi Er heard this, he quickly took off his luggage and began to make the bed.

Huang Laosan stood aside and watched Shi Er work, and asked, "Did you bring the money?" ”

Shi Er was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Huang Laosan was going to ask him for money, and sure enough, this house was not lived in for nothing. Shi Er bit his lip and replied honestly: "I only have fifty yuan on me." ”

Huang Laosan smiled and said, "Where is the fifty yuan enough!" Look at your cotton jacket full of patches, look at your torn cloth shoes, how unseemly they look. Otherwise, you can borrow a month's monthly money from the Public Works Department to spend it, and the next month it won't give you the monthly money. ”

Hearing this, Shi Er was stunned for a long time before he realized that Huang Laosan was going to lend money to himself. I didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Shi Er didn't speak, Huang Laosan directly took out two hangs of money from his arms, took out seventy yuan from them, and said with a smile: "This is your salary for next month, deducting seventy yuan rent, one thousand nine hundred and thirty yuan for you." How decent are you going to make a new outfit? Now Fanjiazhuang has not been built yet, but a few tailors have already come in to take over the work, just east of Siwen Street! ”

Shi Er took Huang Laosan's two copper coins, like a drunken and a dream.

"It's a month's money? Two copper coins? ”

The gentleman in the village only told Shi Er that Fanjiazhuang was recruiting people to work, but he didn't say anything about the treatment at all. It is estimated that Mr. did not believe the treatment written on paper by the Ming military attache at all, so he simply didn't tell Shi Er, and only told Shi Er that he had a bite to eat. So when he came here, he knew that he really issued two copper coins a month, and Shi Er was very surprised.

Huang Laosan took a breath and asked curiously: "Don't you know when you apply for the job, our boss gives two copper coins a month and three meals of meat!" ”

"Three meals, meat?"

Shi Er felt that his brain was no longer enough, how could the owner of this hired person be so good, live in such a beautiful big house, give two copper coins a month, take care of meat three times a day, and borrow money to spend on himself first. Is this Fanjiazhuang? Is this owner a military attache of the Ming Dynasty?

What do you have to make these people be so good to you?

Shi Er had heard of the harshness of the last hundred households in Fanjiazhuang, and originally thought that this Fanjiazhuang was a fire pit, and he was a hard-working person all his life. Who knew that he would be treated like this here. With such treatment, wouldn't he live much better than his eldest brother who became a relative, or in a few years, he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law? It is a blessing for me and my eldest brother to come to Fanjiazhuang empty-handed?

Thinking about it, Shi Er's tears flowed.

With a pop, Shi Er knelt down in front of Huang Laosan and said loudly: "Daddy Huang, Shi Er never thought that he could live such a life!" Shi Er thanked the owner, and troubled Father Huang to say to the owner, in the future, the owner will let me go west, and I will never go east. It was the sea of swords and fire that made me go and I went. ”

Huang Laosan laughed when he saw that this rural child was so upright, and quickly helped him up, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about stupidly?" Don't let you do that, you can work hard in the soap workshop in the future, and stick to the confidentiality regulations! Keeping up with the owner, there will be more good days in the future! ”

Shi Er got up, wiped a handful of tears, and nodded vigorously.
