Chapter 536: The Marriage of the Little Man (I)
Although the smell in the dormitory was unpleasant, Li Zhi had worked for a day, and he had a fight with others just now, and he was mentally and physically exhausted, so he couldn't take care of it. In addition, his bedding is new in the factory, but it is very clean, and the smell is good, so he covers his nose, and he can't smell anything, Hu Han and they are also tired enough, so as soon as they lie down, there is a snoring sound.
Li Zhi slept so deeply for the first time, he didn't even have a dream all night, and the next day Hu Han called him up, and then everyone washed up together, and went to work again after breakfast, but when eating breakfast, the hungry Li Zhi suddenly felt that the mutton soup provided in the canteen was very attractive, so he played a bowl, and as a result, he drank all in one go, and no longer vomited after eating like before.
In the first few days, Liu Tou and the others were still worried that the police would find them, but then Lao Wang personally came to tell them that the police station had turned over the case, and the drunks were fined a sum of money to compensate Lao Wang's father and daughter for the crime of molesting women, and the medical expenses were also borne by themselves, and they were also forbidden to harass Sanniang again, and they were not even allowed to appear in Lao Wang's restaurant, otherwise the two crimes would be punished together, and they would have to be sentenced to exile.
Liu Tou After they heard the news, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lao Wang had to invite them to dinner, although Liu Tou wanted to resign, but Hu Han's kid agreed first, and the rest of Li Zhi and others heard that there was white food to eat, so naturally they would not refuse, but Liu Tou did not disobey the will of the people, so he set a date with Lao Wang, and then they went to Lao Wang's house to go to the banquet.
Over time. Li Zhi gradually became familiar with the environment around him, especially for the shipyard where he worked. He knows it very well, for example, he knows it now. In this shipyard, there are more than 1,000 workers working, and there are ten large docks, which can build ten large ships at the same time, and can also build some small ships at the same time, and the number of ships that go to sea every year Li Zhi does not know for the time being, but he knows that this shipyard can build more than 30 ships just for large sea ships.
Of course, the above calculation is when the shipyard is in full swing. Due to objective reasons such as raw materials and orders, this transverse wave shipyard can only build a maximum of more than 20 large sea ships a year, and there are countless other small and medium-sized ships. However, this is enough to make people shocked, because the scale of the Hengbo shipyard is not the largest in this shipbuilding base, there are six or seven of its scale, and there are two larger shipyards, thinking about the ships built by these shipyards in a year, Li Zhi feels a little terrifying. What's more, this is just Keelung. If you include Tainan, Dengzhou, Siyu and other places, it will be even more amazing.
In addition, in addition to the shipyard, Li Zhi's biggest gain was to fully integrate into Hu Han and these people, after a few days of labor. He's darkened and thinner, but he's also stronger, and now he's standing with a bunch of workers. Basically, there is not much difference. Even the foot smell in the dormitory, Li Zhi has become accustomed to it. Or to put it another way, his nose is numb.
It was Sunday. According to the rules, they have to take a day off, but the factory has a benefit for the workers, that is, every Sunday, a few literate gentlemen will be invited to come over and teach a day in the factory, learning some commonly used Chinese characters, and the workers who want to learn can listen to them. Every time, a large number of workers will be attracted to study, but this is not because these workers are studious, but because there is a cultural assessment in the factory, and only workers with qualified cultural achievements can be promoted or raised wages.
At first, Li Zhi went once out of curiosity, but found that the teacher teaching above was not as good as his own, so he didn't go anymore, but took advantage of Sunday to take a walk outside, resting and observing.
But this Sunday morning, Li Zhi did not go out to wander around, Hu Han, Wang San, and Zhugan did not go to study, they first had breakfast in the canteen, and then went to the bathhouse in the factory to take a bath, changed into new clothes, and waited until Liu Tou and Qiangzi came to look for them, and then went out together.
Today is the day when Lao Wang invited them to dinner, so Li Zhi and they seem to attach so much importance to it, everyone dressed up like a dog, and saw a fruit seller on the side of the road, each of them weighed a few catties of fruit, and then carried it to Lao Wang's house.
Lao Wang's place of residence is a little far, more than three miles away from the Hengbo Shipyard, originally Li Zhi proposed to take a carriage to go, after all, there are many carriages on the street, and you can get to Lao Wang's house for a few copper coins, but Liu Tou They are all poor people, and they are usually thrifty, and they can generally save a little, and for them, three miles is not too far, so they did not agree, and finally Li Zhi had to follow everyone to Lao Wang's house.
Because of the rapid growth of the population, Keelung City has been in the process of expansion, and Li Su has removed the city wall when designing the city, and the size of the whole city is not limited, so over the years, Keelung City has been in the process of expansion, even in the suburbs and other places, there are also many residential areas similar to satellite cities, such as Lao Wang's family, they live in this kind of residential area, and it is also a two-entry courtyard, it seems that Lao Wang's small life is quite good.
As soon as Li Zhi and the others arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw that Lao Wang had already come out, and there was a woman about the same age as Lao Wang beside him, who should be the sister-in-law of the Wang family, and the third mother also followed closely by the sister-in-law of the Wang family, and there was a boy about ten years old behind him. Li Zhi had heard Liu Tou say before, Lao Wang has two sons and three daughters, of which the eldest son opened a store in Tainan, and the two eldest daughters have already married, leaving only the youngest daughter Sanniang and the youngest son Wang Bao, it is estimated that the boy in front of him is the boy.
"Liu Tou, you guys are too polite, come on, what else do you bring?" As soon as Lao Wang saw Liu Tou, he immediately greeted him happily.
And Liu Tou also smiled and said politely: "Then how can it be done, let's be guests, this etiquette can't be wasted, and I heard that Sister-in-law Wang wasn't sick a few days ago, let's buy some fruit to take a look, I don't know how Sister-in-law Wang's health is now?" ”
"It's all old problems, it's okay!" At this time, the sister-in-law of the Wang family also smiled and said. Then the old couple immediately invited Liu Tou and Li Zhi into the house to talk.
But just as Li Zhi was walking behind, suddenly the bamboo pole next to him hit him with his shoulder, and then snorted at Hu Han's side, only to find out that Hu Han's eyes had been staring at Sanniang, and both eyes were about to pop out. And the little girl also found that Hu Han was looking at herself, her little face was flushed, and she lowered her head and only knew that she was walking towards the courtyard, and she didn't dare to raise her head at all.
Seeing this, Li Zhi also smiled and said to the bamboo pole: "I said, why is this kid Hu Han so kind that day?" The first one rushed up, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to Sanniang. ”
The bamboo pole smacked his lips with some pity and said: "If you want to say that this three mothers are really smart, if it weren't for the fact that my brother I was already married, I would definitely have to compete with Hu Han, this kid, but Xiao Jiu, you shouldn't be married yet, such a good daughter-in-law can't let go, I think you should give it a try, maybe as soon as Lao Wang is happy, this family business will be done." ”
Lao Wang was a cook before he came to Taiwan, although he couldn't make a fortune, but he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so his sons and daughters didn't have to do too heavy work, such as Sanniang, for example, although the appearance was ordinary, but it was white and clean, a standard small jasper appearance, no wonder Hu Han bamboo poles fell in love with others, but unfortunately the bamboo poles were married too early, and now they can only do it.
"Me? I'll forget it, my family has already booked a family affair for me, so let's give this opportunity to Hu Han! Li Zhi waved his hand again and again when he heard it, he and Cai'er are in love, and they are already engaged, and the relationship is the most intimate time, so naturally they will not look at other women.
Hearing that Li Zhi had already made a marriage, the bamboo pole was a pity, because in his opinion, a woman like Sanniang was something that could be met but not sought, and judging from Li Zhi's current family background, even if he was married, I am afraid it would not be as good as Sanniang. However, if Li Zhi knew his thoughts, he was afraid that he would burst into laughter on the spot.
The group followed Lao Wang into the main hall, a large table has been placed in the hall, the table teapot and teacups, and after everyone sat down, Lao Wang poured tea for everyone with his own hands, and then thanked them for their help that day, Li Zhi They were naturally very polite and modest.
After chatting a few words, the time was about to reach noon, and Lao Wang beckoned them to sit down first and go to the kitchen to prepare wine and food. After a while, Sanniang and Wang's sister-in-law took turns to serve the dishes, first cooling and then heating large plates and small plates on a large table.
Whenever Sanniang came to deliver food, Hu Han's eyes kept staring at others, and every time he scared Sanniang and fled, Li Zhi and the bamboo pole were snickering, which soon made Liu Tou also discover Hu Han's abnormality, and as a result, Liu Tou patted Hu Han's head angrily and said: "Don't look at your kid, and Sanniang won't marry you if you look at it again!" ”
"Huh? For...... Why? Hu Han covered his head and aired. Speaking of which, he has known Lao Wang for a long time, but it is the first time he knows that the other party has such a beautiful daughter, and after seeing Sanniang that night, he immediately decided that the other party is the wife he is looking for, so when he saw those drunks bullying Sanniang that night, he would be so impulsive.
