At the factory committee meeting, Hou Dalin stood up and bowed to everyone to thank him.

Although he has just become a rag collector, it is such a job, and it is not something that anyone can do if they want to.

In this era, it is a job to collect rags, and it is also a serious job. Idlers can only walk the streets and alleys to exchange waste newspapers or something, and when the shopping is finished, they still have to be handed over to the scrap collection station.

To put it more seriously, the scrap yard in this year is a serious state-owned unit. At the last time, it is also a collective unit. It is not easy for idlers to find such a job.

What's more, Hou Dalin's working relationship fell on the rolling mill, which shows that his salary was received from the rolling mill. Although it is not much, only eight yuan a month, but that's it, Hou Dalin is quite content.

After all, now that there are no people with jobs, it is very rare for a disabled person who is missing a foot to have a formal job.

"Comrade Hou Dalin, you can go back after completing your formalities."

After the meeting, the personnel department went through the entry procedures for Hou Dalin. By the time the formalities were completed, it was already dark outside.

"Go back? Director Li, where am I going? Hou Dalin asked puzzled, he really didn't know where he could go, because he didn't know if there was a place for him to stay in this city.

"Of course it's back to my brother's house! Your brother is gone, and his house will naturally belong to you. You haven't been there yet, have you? After saying this, Officer Li looked at Hou Dalin's gray face again, and then he reacted, maybe he really hadn't been there yet.

"I'll take you there, I'll live over there, by the way."

Walking out of the office, Hou Dalin limped out with Secretary Li. Hou Dalin used all his strength, but he still couldn't keep up with the speed of normal people walking.

Xiao Li is not bad, and he stopped several times to wait for him. waited until Officer Li pushed out the bicycle from the bicycle shed, and then beckoned Hou Dalin to come up.

Hou Dalin sat on the back seat of his bicycle and almost burst into tears. He even felt more comfortable than the car in his previous life, and finally he didn't have to jump on one leg anymore. He had only experienced it for a day, and he already felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

Strange streets, strange people. Hou Dalin sat on the back seat of the bicycle, his eyes kept looking at everything around him, but he didn't see even a familiar shadow.

"Hey, it seems that I have to forget the past and treat this life as a new world." Hou Dalin, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, silently did psychological construction for himself.

After a short time, Officer Li stopped the car, forked one leg, and Hou Dalin, who was distracted, almost didn't fall.

"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot you sat in the back seat." Director Li felt Hou Dalin hugging his waist, and then he reacted, there was still a person in the back seat of him.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was also distracted just now, and I didn't notice you parking." Hou Dalin knew that people didn't mean it, and of course he wouldn't say anything strange.

The two have just met, Hou Dalin doesn't know what the other party's personality is, at this time, it's better not to joke.

"Comrade Hou Dalin, let's get to the place, this is the courtyard where your brother lives."

After speaking, Officer Li also pointed to a house, and then said, "Look, this room is where your brother lived." ”

Hou Dalin stood on the street, looking at this familiar building, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping in his heart. I tried it all over again, but I still couldn't escape this strange yard.

And the house that can be seen standing in the alley can only be said to be an upside-down house with the door open to the north. This kind of house is the worst of all the house types. Is the system really arranging for itself to come over and retire? Why did you arrange such a place for yourself?

Hou Dalin can only guess by himself, and it is estimated that his brother was not a person who was good at words during his lifetime, otherwise anyone who is good-mouthed would not accept such an arrangement.

"Let's go, let's get in." Director Li waited for Hou Dalin to get out of the car and stood firm, and then he proposed to take Hou Dalin in.

may be because of the influence of the plot world, the appearance of everyone in this life is different from what Hou Dalin knows, but the people in this courtyard have not changed at all.

Hou Dalin followed behind Director Li and walked into the courtyard together.

"Lao Yi? Is Lao Yi here? As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, Officer Li began to shout.

"Yes, yes. Who's looking for me? At this time, Hou Dalin saw Yi Zhonghai trotting out of the back yard, and before anyone approached, he began to greet this Officer Li.

"Oh, it's Officer Li here, what's the matter? What's the matter? ”

Although Director Li was a soy sauce player at the factory committee meeting, he didn't even have the qualifications to sit down. But no matter how small a cadre is, he is still a cadre of the personnel department, and he is born to manage workers. So Yi Zhonghai saw Xiao Li in the mouth of the factory leader, and he also became respectful, and in the factory, the personnel department was also in charge of many of the workers' "power of life and death". If you want to get into D, get promoted, and raise your salary, you will never be able to get around the personnel department.

Don't talk about these big things, you just want to transfer posts, receive all kinds of subsidies, and issue all kinds of tickets, so you can't do it without the chapter of the personnel department.

Therefore, for this Xiao Li, an eighth-level worker like Yi Zhonghai, although he is not afraid, he should have respect, which is indispensable at all.

Yi Zhonghai is like this, and the second uncle, an official fan, is even more respectful. Director Li didn't call his name at all, and people had already taken the initiative to stand up.

"Oh, Master Liu is also here, that's just right." When Officer Li saw Liu Haizhong, he piggybacked on him in his mouth, and then said to Yi Zhonghai and them: "This is Comrade Hou Dalin, the younger brother of Hou Dafu in your hospital, who came to the factory today to pick up his brother's class." After that, his brother's house will belong to him, and you will take him to get acquainted with him. ”

"Hey, okay, you can rest assured about this. I've been friends with Daifuku for many years, don't worry, I can't treat his brother badly. Yi Zhonghai agreed.

Liu Haizhong on the side also said: "Director Li, don't worry, this kind of thing will never let the leader worry about it, this Dafu's younger brother has taken over, and we will all be workers in the future, we will definitely take care of it." ”

"Well, that's it, you're all old comrades, and I'm relieved to have you in this courtyard. Then let's do this first, Lao Yi, you take Comrade Hou Dalin to clean up, and I'll go back first. ”

After Secretary Li finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk out.

"Huh? That's it? Director Li, stay and eat, it's all time at the end of the meal, so you have to eat before leaving. Liu Haizhong's words came quickly, and he said it before Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai just smiled after hearing this, and didn't say anything.

"Don't eat it, another day, let's get together another day."

"Hey, that's okay, depending on your time, I'm free." While the two of them were talking, Liu Haizhong accompanied this Officer Li out of the gate of the courtyard.

Standing at the door, bangs in the middle until the other party walked away, then turned back to the yard.

Yi Zhonghai had been observing Hou Dalin, and when he saw Hou Dalin's crutches, his face was full of surprise.

Looking at Hou Dalin's legs again, I saw that Hou Dalin's left leg was empty under the trouser tube.

This, how is this still a cripple? When will the rolling mill be able to recruit a cripple to come in as a worker?

"Your name is Hou Dalin, right? Come, I'll take you to your brother's house. Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure out where Hou Dalin came from, so he was just busy leading Hou Dalin to the door of his brother's house.

took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the door, and walked into the room with Hou Dalin.

At this time, the second uncle also sent off Secretary Li and returned to the front yard, and saw that Yi Zhonghai had already taken Hou Dalin to his brother's room, so he didn't care about this matter anymore, and swaggered back to his house.

Hou Dalin walked into the room where his cheap brother lived, and because the inverted room did not see sunlight all year round, coupled with the sultry weather now, he smelled moldy as soon as he entered the door.

Hou Dalin frowned, how did his eldest brother live in such a house?

"Hou Dalin, this house hasn't opened the door for a long time, let's open the door first."

"Uncle Yi, why does my brother live here? It's also too trendy, can it live in people? Hou Dalin couldn't help complaining.

"Who said it wasn't, when the house was divided, it was originally arranged for your brother to have a west room, but you mean that in the future, you will have to take the old lady and grandmother from your hometown to live, so I applied with the leader to use a west room for three inverted rooms."

After listening to the uncle's explanation, Hou Dalin understood his eldest brother's hard work. It's just that Hou Dalin estimated that the eldest brother at that time didn't understand the disadvantages of this kind of house at all, and he might have regretted it a long time ago. I guess this may be one of the reasons why he hasn't brought the original owner's family for a long time.

Such a house is really uninhabitable, and he can't let his family suffer this sin.

Hou Dalin was new to the city, and he didn't pay much attention to this matter. Of course, even if he cares about him, he can't do anything, and now that he is not familiar with life, it would be good to have a place to live. No matter how bad the house is, it is also a shelter from the wind and rain, which is better than sleeping on the street.

Yi Zhonghai just led Hou Dalin around, and after giving Hou Dalin the key, he went home. He doesn't know anything about Hou Dalin now, so he doesn't bother to talk nonsense, and this drag of the province is stained with himself.

From the attitude of Director Li before leaving just now, it can be found that this Hou Dalin is definitely not a person with any foundation. Otherwise, Director Li would not have left so happily.

Hou Dalin also didn't stay in Yi Zhonghai much, and Hou Dalin still knows more or less about the habits of these people. The "difficulty" of life has made everyone in this courtyard form their own unique philosophy of life, and Hou Dalin really doesn't want to let himself fall into their various struggles.

So it's better to go, and it's better not to think about yourself later.

There was dust everywhere in the house, and Hou Dalin was not too dirty, so he just sat on the stool. Now he is not clean, the original owner has walked so far all the way, you can imagine what he looks like.

Now that his job has been settled and his life has a house, Hou Dalin can't help but think again, how to plan his life in the future?
