Since Jia Zhang's instructed the stick terrier to steal salt, it is obvious that everyone who has the ability to cook at home will basically not go out, and those who go out will also pack up everything after cooking. The people in the courtyard looked at Jia Dongxu's family with tinted glasses. Qin Huairu was anxious in her eyes about this, but she was helpless.

Jia Dongxu is because he is in the factory most of the time, and he doesn't come out when he goes home at night, Jia Zhang's is an old and bad skin, and this time he is embarrassed to walk outside because of his blue nose and swollen face after being beaten. On the contrary, only Qin Huairu is the one who receives the gaze and fingers of this group of women in the courtyard every day.

On Sunday, early in the morning, Li Shouliang was worried about the wood and got up early in the morning. I took two catties of fruit signed by the system, and took the bus to Ni Kaidi's house.

Both parents are here, father Ni Youde, mother Li Jing. His father was the deputy director of logistics at the lumber mill. (I found out that there is a BJ Guanghua Timber Mill in Chaoyang District, which was built in 1961, and it was written here that it was established early)

When I arrived, it was about eight or nine o'clock, and I got out of the car and asked for directions before I could find it. went around and finally found the right place, and Ni Kaidi's father is very famous in this area, probably because he has not moved to the cadre building.

After arriving, An An'an accepted the investigation of the "janitor", and then after inquiring who to find, he sent Li Shouliang to the door of their house with a pleasant face.

Ni Kaidi came out to recognize people, which is the end. The "janitor" turned around and went home.

"It's early, I see you, I thought you didn't come until noon. Come on in. My parents are at home. Then dragged Li Shouliang into the house.

As soon as you enter the main hall, it is relatively bright and clean, and you can see that there is a hostess who is a good housekeeper in this family.

At the wooden coffee table in the hall, there sat a figure, already a little fat, holding a copy of the BJ Daily reader.

This must be an uncle.

Sure enough, Ni Kaidi had already shouted: "Dad, this is what I told you about Li Shouliang, my good buddy." ”

I saw the figure over there raise its head unhurriedly. A middle-aged woman also came out of the room over there, followed by a girl who looked a few years old as Ni Kaidi.

Ni's father was still looking at Li Shouliang, and Ni's mother had already spoken.

"Shouliang is right, but the child is here, and I have been listening to Kaidi mention you, and the young man here has also spread your deeds. Now I'm seeing a real person. ”

"Hello Auntie, this is the first time to visit. We apologize for the inconvenience. As he spoke, he handed over the fruit in his hand.

"Hey, what forgive me, you're a good friend of Kaidi, you should come. And you also helped Kaidi so much, Auntie hasn't thanked you properly. Come on, come on, and take something. Ni's mother said angrily.

"The two catties of fruit that I exchanged with others happened to come to visit, so I brought it, and it is not a valuable thing."

"It's not worth much, what is it worth, who did you exchange it with, it cost a lot of money, didn't Kaidi say that you just joined the job? Where did you get the money, I'll get it for you later. Ni's mother said.

"The child brought it, how can there be any reason to take it back, everyone is working independently, and he can't be regarded as Kaidi. Wash it up, let them eat something, Shouliang, come and do it. Without waiting for Li Shouliang to persuade Father Ni to speak.

Li Shouliang took the opportunity to skip this topic, and walked quickly to the wooden chair in front of Ni's father and sat down.

Ni Kaidi was still complaining there about not being able to treat him as me, and if I hadn't gone to school, I would have entered the factory.

Mother Ni ignored him directly, and took the girl who had been looking at Li Shouliang with big eyes and didn't speak, to wash the fruit.

Ni Kaidi saw that no one cared about him, and he also went to Li Shouliang and sat down.

"Shouliang, I heard Kaidi say that you went to work in the rolling mill?"

"Yes, uncle, I'm in the workshop now, as a fitter's apprentice."

"Well, yes, the working class is honorable. Well done. How is it in the factory? ”

"Very good, an uncle in our yard is a grade 8 fitter in my factory, and I have the honor to worship him as a teacher. Now the technology is very solid, and there is steady progress. ”

"That's good, technology can't fool people. Uncle Kaidi hasn't thanked you for this time. I was beaten, and I didn't say anything when I came home to ask. I also know to grit my teeth and ask for help. Father Ni said with a smile.

Li Shouliang looked at Ni Kaidi, how could this kind of child fight still be told to the family, it was not too cold.

Ni Kaidi seemed to understand, and said with a red face: "I didn't say it, I didn't say it, it was that everyone in the courtyard hung up the lottery, and was forced to ask by the parents." ”

At this time, Ni's mother came over with the fruit, took over the conversation and said: "Besides, this matter has spread in this area, and he Ni Kaidi is angry at the crown." They all laughed at him, and he and his group of little buddies felt angry. ”

Then he said with some worry: "How old is this, and there is no certainty, Yang Ke's child is very good, that is." Ay. ”

This is not for Li Shouliang, and Li Shouliang will not make a statement on this matter.

Father Ni said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it's too early to talk about this, don't talk about this." Laughing at the topic.

Then he said to Li Shouliang: "I heard Kaidi say that you want to get some wood to learn to make furniture?" ”

"I support this matter mentally, but my uncle wants to persuade you, you have just entered the factory now, and you are still in the stage of learning fitters, so you don't have to bother to get these, carpentry has never been learned by reading books."

"Uncle is not talking big, I heard Kaidi talk about your family's situation, it's really unnecessary to learn to do this now, when you get married, uncle will find a way to help you find a good carpenter and build 36 legs for you." Your uncle can still call the shots when it comes to wood. ”

Ni's mother also chimed in beside her: Yes, I'll ask your uncle to get it for you, and if you can't get it, look for him.

That's a bit of a shallow statement. This has to be an unexpected joy to help Kaidi fight, otherwise people will be in a good place, just ask for wood for you, and there is no need to tell you so much when we meet for the first time.

After listening to this, Li Shouliang said confidently and firmly: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your kindness." It's not that I'm talking big, I find that I may not be very good at reading, but I do have a bit of talent in handicraft, I have been in the factory for less than two months this year, and I can already make 1 technician's parts. If you polish and polish it, you will wait for the semi-annual upgrade assessment. And I usually read a lot at home, and I like to do something, which can be regarded as worthwhile. ”

"Besides, you don't go hungry anywhere if you know a craft." Li Shouliang said with a smile to Ni's father and Ni's mother.

Father Ni looked at the child in front of him who could no longer be called a "child", and liked his confident and passionate energy. In contrast, his son is less atmospheric.

Father Ni said earnestly: "You have thought about it, carpentry is not something that can be learned thoroughly by reading two books. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I don't regret it." Li Shouliang said. Then I added in my heart: The system helped me skip the primary stage, and the rest is water grinding kung fu.

"Well, it's good to have faith, but if you find something wrong, you have to turn back in time. How much wood you plan to want, what kind of wood, you tell me the number, there is not much else in the lumber mill. There is a lot of unplanned wood, and if you want to contact Kaidi directly in the future, just ask him to find me, and I will get it out. After the money, just give it to Kaidi and let him bring it. ”

"I don't really want much, mainly to practice in advance, and I plan to make tables and chairs first. Just use plain hardwood. I can mention several kinds of which: ash, northeast elm, eucalyptus, camphor wood, toon, jujube. ”

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect you to really know a lot. Just ash and jujube wood, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The point is cheap. Use it and turn back. How much? ”

"Probably one side is enough, a set of tables and chairs is about half a square is enough. It doesn't need to be too thick, more than 30 centimeters is enough. ”

"Well, on each side, six pieces of ash, eight pieces of sour jujube wood, a total of fourteen yuan. If you have to transport it from here, you will get two pieces. A total of 16 yuan. ”

(The bigwigs, who are really laymen, searched for information on the Internet and asked my elders.) But the difference between Dongshan and the capital is too big, and it really can't be found. Especially what wood there is. Price for this piece. There is also timber, which is sold at different prices depending on the length and thickness. So look at the plot, don't spray if there is a mistake in a very detailed knowledge point. The child studied civil engineering and moved bricks. No! ）

"Okay uncle." Immediately, Li Shouliang took out the money from his pocket and counted 16 yuan (in fact, from the space, there were almost three hands on the bus in those days. ）

Ni's father motioned for Ni's mother to take it. Then skip the topic.

The time soon came to noon, and with the best efforts of Ni's father and Kaidi, Li Shouliang spent a happy noon at Ni's house. Ni Lili, a girl who had never spoken to Li Shouliang, also began to speak, very quietly, and her voice was very good.

Li Shouliang didn't notice the strange look of Ni's father and Ni's mother.

The eloquence skill is Li Shouliang's most practical skill, and it is vividly displayed at this moment. Guests alike.

After eating, we chatted for a while, and then agreed to send it the day after tomorrow. Li Shouliang took his leave.

"Lily, why don't you talk all morning? It's not like you. It's the first time I've come to our house. Ni Kaidi said dissatisfiedly. Fortunately, he spoke at noon, otherwise he would have been too faceless.

Ni Lili looked at the teasing expressions of Ni's father and Ni mother, and didn't say much, she came up and kicked Ni Kaidi's buttocks, and then went back to the room with a red face.

Probably Ni Kaidi didn't notice it: a tall, not to mention handsome, can be said to be middle and upper, with good facial features, and a confident and high-spirited temperament. is so capable of fighting, the person who was blown by this young man. How attractive it is for a young girl who is just starting to fall in love.

Ni's father didn't say anything and was busy, and Ni's mother said fiercely: "How could such a good child as Yang Ke find you, elm pimple." Then he went into the house.

Leaving Ni Kaidi a little confused.
