Chapter 18 Repair the house and hang the signboard

It's September in a flash, and Hou Dalin just went to the factory today and received last month's salary. Although it was only eight dollars, he still had to make a trip himself.

But now he has a bicycle, although it is an N-hand one, but what kind of craft is he? No matter how broken the bicycle is, when it comes to his hands, it can run silky smoothly. It's not pretty, but it's easy to ride.

Hou Dalin is a practical person who doesn't care about appearance. Such a broken car is more in line with his identity.

The head of the scrap station, it seems that such a person should be more right to deal with rags.

When I went to the factory today, I not only had to receive my salary from the finance department, but also reported to the finance department. Although his accounts last month were simply less than a page, the procedure is the procedure and must be followed.

After the accounts were reported, the scrap station owed Comrade Hou Dalin 168 yuan 5, and this was the result of helping to repair machinery for the timber mill last time and collecting 100 yuan from others. Otherwise, the number is even greater.

Hou Dalin spent his own money to help advance funds for the early construction of the scrap station, which was praised by the Finance Department and the General Affairs Office, although he did not give any actual benefits, but he was given a treatment. Since this month, he has been officially appointed as the head of this scrap station.

used to say that he was the stationmaster, which was a compliment to him. Now that he is the webmaster, there is an official document. Although this stationmaster is also a worker and is not considered a cadre, he still has the treatment he deserves. For example, if there are new employees, they must be managed by him.

This incident made Hou Dalin a little worried, did he really plan to stuff people here? Otherwise, it will be a one-person scrap station, and it will be extra to arrange the position of a station manager, right?

However, this kind of problem, after thinking about it, is in vain, everything is not under his control at the moment.

Hou Dalin hurriedly finished the things in the factory, and hurried back in a hurry, not for anything else, today is the day he made an appointment with the person who repaired the house.

By the time he rode to the door, there were already people waiting for him.

"Dalin, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, you won't be able to finish it today." The people who were waiting for him saw Hou Dalin's figure, and immediately jumped up and said.

"If you can't finish it, I'll do it tomorrow, it's not that I don't give money, why are you in a hurry."

"Can you not be in a hurry? We promised someone tomorrow that we couldn't let go of their pigeons. What did that look like? ”

"You are also dead-eyed, if I don't come back, you will do it, I didn't lock the door when I left, just because I was afraid that I would come back late and delay your work."

"You said lightly, we want to start doing it, but the people in your courtyard won't let you move, and if you want to move, we have to wait for you to come back. I'm really convinced, your yard, people's hearts are quite aligned. ”

"Haha, that's, that's this yard, that's the famous civilized compound of the whole street." Hou Dalin deliberately said the last sentence very loudly, so that the people in the courtyard could hear it.

Today is inevitably to make some noise and dust, and he has to get vaccinated in advance, so as to save a while and produce some moths.

This kind of house, in fact, is not difficult to renovate, it is nothing more than to make a hole in the back wall, install door and window frames, and then build a step outside the house.

The workers hired are all experts in repairing buildings in various nearby yards, and this kind of project is a piece of cake for others. What's more, people have a way to get you bricks, you just have to pay for it.

Originally, for Hou Dalin, it was a very complicated matter, but when it came to other people's hands, it became simpler. It's just that this process needs to wait, and when you can get the bricks, the other party can't give you a specific time. For this, Hou Dalin waited for a month.

But today it was finally his turn, and in one afternoon, four or five people finished Hou Dalin's house. He also had the doors and windows he had made himself moved, and the installation was completed.

"Brothers, thank you." Hou Dalin thanked him and handed the prepared money to the leader.

"Thank you, Brother Hou, if you have any work in the future, just think about a few of our brothers. We just eat this bowl of rice, and nowadays, there are really not many people who are willing to spend money to hire someone to repair the house. The leader took the money, didn't count it, and put it in his pocket.

"Huh? Don't you usually have a lot of work? I don't think you're busy, are you? Hou Dalin really didn't know about their lives, after all, he met through introduction, he waited for so long, and thought that the other party had too much work to do his little work.

"Alas! Busy is also busy, do you think that if we haven't repaired your house for so long, we have other masonry work? Not at all, we did everything during this time, loading and unloading trucks, pedaling on three wheels, just waiting for materials. Without materials, we just want to work, so there's no way, right? ”

Hou Dalin's words can be regarded as opening the jar of bitter water for these people, and they complained one after another.

"Brother Xie, after hearing you say so much, I know that your situation is difficult enough. So, I'm not in charge of the scrap yard, you can send me scrap here in the future, and I'll collect it at the market price. More or less, I can also give you subsidies. "Hou Dalin suddenly wanted to develop the first batch of recyclers.

"Brother Hou, thank you for your kindness. However, we all have a large family to feed, and we are afraid that it will be enough to choke by collecting waste. But when we have some spare time, we will definitely get some more and send them to you. Although the leader surnamed Xie didn't agree, he could be regarded as a living person and didn't refuse.

"Well, that's okay, if there is a chance in the future, we will work together again." Hou Dalin also didn't say much, and it was taboo to talk shallow and deep. For now, it's just a matter of making that impression.

With this door, Hou Dalin's house suddenly changed from an upside-down house to a façade room. Although his façade room is in the alley, the façade room in the alley is also a façade room, isn't it? With these two rooms, he was able to hang up his sign.

The next morning, Hou Dalin made a sign out of wooden boards, and then wrote two big "maintenance" words in red paint, which was considered an opening.

Underneath the two large letters, respectively, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, various equipment.

The interior has also undergone some remodeling, the room with the door has been emptied, only a large table has been placed, and the west one is used as a warehouse, where some parts will be placed in the future. The one to the east was where he slept.

Sitting behind this big table, Hou Dalin only needs to raise his eyes to see the gate of the scrap yard diagonally opposite.

This would allow him to do both, but after sitting like this for a morning, he felt a little tired. It's a time when people get distracted, and besides, you can't just stare at it stupidly all day long, right?

Hou Dalin, who thought about it, felt that either he would add another person to this scrap yard, or he would have to add a dog, otherwise, it would be too tied.
