Chapter 8: Shui Ling's Father
In fact, Guo Degui got up very early, and he didn't sleep well yesterday. The roommate told him that there was a man named Guo Deguang who said that he was his cousin, and he couldn't find him after several phone calls, and left him an address. His classmates helped him write down a piece of paper, and his cousin said that he would be free to go to his place early tomorrow morning to find him.
Speaking of his cousin, he is a celebrity, and after graduating from high school, his family conditions are not good, so he did not choose to go to college, but inherited his father Lao Guo's craft - carpenter.
Although he is a carpenter, Guo Deguang is a very famous carpenter. It's not clear why it's famous, anyway, I don't go home as an adult. Guo Deguang didn't go home but didn't delay sending money home, a few years ago when his father Lao Guo didn't die, he did have a few years of good times. Lao Guo is always smiling all day, and he basically has no other expenses except for drinking a little wine a day.
He was reluctant to spend the money sent back by his son, so Lao Guo used the money sent back by Xiao Guo to build a new house, and saved the rest for his son to marry a daughter-in-law. Guo Deguang's mother died early, and he knew that it was not easy for his father to bring him up, which was one of the reasons why Guo Deguang did not choose to go to college.
To say that Guo Deguang's money is not easy to earn, no one appreciates his carpenter skills at first, so he can only find a contractor team to eat. Until one time a temple was to be built in Shanxi, and he went there with the contractor team. When their team's contract was completed, he settled the bill and didn't leave. Because he saw an old carpenter's style there, doing the carpenter's work.
Guo Deguang is open-minded and studious. The old carpenter liked him, so he stayed and became the old carpenter's apprentice.
The old carpenter had sons and daughters, none of whom had learned his trade. He could have not come out to earn money, his children had jobs, and he and his wife had pensions. But he can't be idle, and what's worse is that he has a problem - being a prostitute.
In the past, when the old carpenter was not retired, he always asked to run out, and he was always asked for any assignment in the carpentry factory. One of the reasons is that the leading comrades know that he has this hobby, and the most important thing is that he can complete the tasks assigned abroad well every time.
The old carpenter retired and had his wife at home to watch, which was really a bit unfree. His wife retired earlier than him, and she knew about his hobby, and thought that this time there would be time, to see what kind of virtue you were.
The old carpenter is retired, but the craftsmanship is still there, and the connections are still there. He doesn't go to anyone else, but business comes to him. This time he was asked to lead the team to do the project, as long as he did the project well, the personnel brought out (mainly with apprentices) gave him 5,000 a month. At that time, what else was there to say about "10,000 yuan households", do you say that 5,000 a month's salary can not be tempted!
The carpenter's wife has nothing to say, the pension of the two people is not 5,000 yuan combined, and the carpenter's wife wisely chose everything to look at the money in front of the money, ignoring other small problems.
The old carpenter took Guo Deguang in because Guo Deguang was also a carpenter. Guo Deguang's carpenter skills are family heirlooms, and they must always have their own unique place. The old carpenter didn't want Guo Deguang's carpenter skills, he just wanted Guo Deguang to work for him. If a carpenter brings out an apprentice, it will take at least three or four years, and even after three or four years, it depends on their respective talents.
Guo Deguang's craftsmanship focuses on carving, and the flowers, birds, and animals are all realistic, which is lacking in the old carpenter. Take this work in the temple, with Guo Deguang, he can save the money of a carpenter. Guo Deguang broke whatever he did, and the old carpenter really didn't teach Guo Deguang anything. The old carpenter thought to himself that if he was younger, he would really have to guard against this kid.
With Guo Deguang, the old carpenter saved half of the trouble, and within a few months, the old carpenter paid Guo Deguang according to the price of the big worker, because he quit the original big job.
With free time, the old carpenter developed his hobby even more. Every time Guo Deguang changed places, he always rented a house for the master to live alone, and never let the old carpenter take the rent money, and often invited the master to eat and drink, and the money he earned was basically not left. Finally one day, with Guo Deguang's efforts, the old carpenter suffered a stroke.
The boss in charge of the contract project is a southerner, surnamed Lai. Boss Lai was also stupid when he saw this situation, what he had to do was that he had to finish the rest of the project.
The old carpenter recommended Guo Deguang, and Guo Deguang accepted. However, Guo Deguang put forward a condition, this project is still an old carpenter's, and the boss can't stop giving money to the old carpenter because of this matter.
After this incident, the old carpenter said that Guo Deguang had a good character, and recommended others to Guo Deguang. Guo Deguang even found an opportunity to tell Boss Lai about these things.
Boss Lai also said to Guo Deguang casually: "I use your master, not because of how good your master's skills are, one of the reasons is because he has his own hobbies." His hobby is indecent, but it's not too difficult to do. He can do my job well, and only if he does his job well, can he do what he likes, well, that hobby. ”
"The boss is right, my master really shouldn't drink so much wine, after all, he is very old."
"I'm familiar with your master, he didn't drink much before you as an apprentice."
Hearing this, Guo Deguang was shocked, and his whole person wilted.
"Actually, it's nothing to do what he likes, and you can't blame your master for it, and you can be quite conscientious about him afterwards. But you have to be clear about me here, everything has to have a degree, I like to understand people. ”
Guo Deguang came back and thought about it for a long time after talking with Boss Lai that time. Although he always wanted to replace the old carpenter, he ended up making the old carpenter unable to take care of himself. The responsibility is not all his, but Boss Lai's words can't help but make him think about it. He didn't want to do much good under Boss Lai, although Boss Lai didn't say it explicitly, he was also sounding the alarm for him. Guo Deguang understood that Boss Lai meant to let him work more, don't play tricks!
Guo Deguang was also a little afraid, why did he care so much about the old carpenter's affairs with the boss Lai, would anyone be watching them all the time. He sensed Boss Lai's distrust. But a newcomer, who can trust you so much.
Although the ending is a must to leave, it is still too early to leave. Guo Deguang is still self-aware, he worked under Lao Lai for five years, until his father Lao Guo is gone.
Guo Deguang's father left after the New Year, and his son did not go home for the New Year, so he prepared several New Year's meals by himself. He always thought that his son needed something when he came back.
The winter in the north is very long, and the northerners have the habit of cat winter, and every Chinese New Year the family has to prepare a lot of food. In the north, especially in the three eastern provinces, sauerkraut is essential for every family. The pickling method of sauerkraut is very simple, that is, the Chinese cabbage is washed, passed in boiling water, put it in the prepared vat, put a layer of cabbage and then a layer of salt. Until the jar is full, the dish should be sharpened. You can put another shrunken cloth on top of the dish, and press a large stone on top of the shrunken cloth, so that the sauerkraut will ferment for about 40 days. We call this process sauerkraut here, and I don't know if it's "excited" or not. My conclusion is that the sauerkraut jar should be clean, the hands should be washed when sauerkraut is stirred, the salt should be sprinkled evenly, and the cabbage should not be left in the water for too long. In a word: do a good job of sterilization.
Sauerkraut can be used with various ingredients to make special Northeast dishes, what sauerkraut stewed pork blood sausage or something. Now it has developed into barbecue, the pork belly is thinly sliced, and then the shredded sauerkraut is rolled in it and then skewered and grilled, which tastes good.
As for the staple food, it is generally some foods that can be stored for a long time, such as steamed buns, flower rolls, sticky fire spoons and the like.
Old Guo carpenter is said to have died of eating sticky fire spoons
(just supposedly). Because he was drinking at home alone, he probably ate too much and got drunk, and he felt uncomfortable at night and didn't struggle. It's a well-fed ghost anyway.
Guo Deguang was supposed to go home for the New Year, but Boss Lai settled the bill for him a few years ago. After Guo Deguang took the position of his master and old carpenter, he worked hard to earn good money for a few years. Seeing that he was so capable, Boss Lai decided to give him a certain amount of dividends at the end of the year, that is, year-end dividends. He has been in the third year of money, the first two years were 10,000 and 20,000 respectively, and this year the boss gave him 15,000.
Guo Deguang not only learned some carpenter's skills from his master, inherited some connections from old carpenters, but also learned to find women. He was not the same as the woman the old carpenter was looking for. The old carpenter is looking for a variety of women, and there are many patterns. Originally, the old carpenter just had a playful attitude to deal with the relationship between the two, and I still remember Wu Junru's line in which Stephen Chow movie, "As long as you make the uncle cool, you can give as much as you want." ”
Guo Deguang, unlike the old carpenter, he likes innocence, even if it is pretending to be innocent. In today's terms, I like "green tea". He enjoys the kind of unstoppable desire of women, and does not like to go straight to the point with too much enthusiasm. Guo Deguang may have been an early cosplay enthusiast, but what kind of nurse outfit or student outfit is his favorite.
Guo Deguang is not only willing to spend money on women, but also willing to spend time. Let's just say that this time for the New Year, he didn't have anything to do, and he told his father that he was going home for the New Year. But a letter from the city's health school changed his itinerary.
The person who wrote the letter was Wang Yanhong, a student at the city's health school. Guo Deguang met her when the health school's cafeteria was renovated last year. At that time, it was just in time for Boss Lai's previous business that he had negotiated with others to be robbed, and the person who robbed his business had a backstage, and he said to Boss Lai that he wanted to work in partnership, but in fact, what was left for him was some laborious and unprofitable work for others to do. On the surface, there was some money, but the boss felt breathless, so he simply quit. Who can't mess with others with their own strength?
Boss Lai couldn't find other valuable projects for a while, but everyone couldn't go home empty-handed! So he contacted everywhere, don't say that his connections played a role again, a director in charge of logistics at the city health school once had dinner with him, and remembered that it was on the day he asked the old carpenter to go out of the mountain to do the project for him. After the meal, the director also arranged for the old carpenter to be a student of the health school, and the old wood has always been in his mind about this and is grateful to him. With this origin and the fact that he sent 10,000 yuan to the principal, Boss Lai got the project, of course, the logistics director's 2,000 yuan is unsavable.
Guo Deguang met Wang Yan and was directing his workers to put up the beams in the newly built canteen. It is usually necessary to put a few whips on the girders, because the girder means that the house is about to take shape, and it must be celebrated at this critical moment. The whip is also about timing, generally say a few auspicious words first, and the firecracker will sound after the auspicious words, so that the climax is reached. Next, there are other projects, such as receiving gift money, eating and so on.
It was in the health school that day, and there were no people who gave gifts (they may have already been given, and Comrade Principal can't accept gifts in public.) But auspicious words are indispensable, and this job of speaking auspicious words is reserved for Guo Deguang to do.
Today's eyes come to the beam,
The main east repair of the good hall.
Huatang is repaired on the dragon's mouth,
Let's all work together to get on the beam.
One step at a time,
Two steps on the two phoenix chaoyang.
………………
At that time, there were many onlookers, and most of the people who talked and laughed were students.
As soon as Guo Deguang's words fell, the sound of firecrackers followed, and the time was just right.
"Ahh Someone was injured. ”
The injured person was Wang Yan, who was jumped to the leg by a second kick (a kind of firecracker).
