Iron Man stood there dumbfounded, his embarrassment in the town shop in front of his eyes.

At that time, if he could take out twelve yuan and five cents, he would not have formed a grudge with Liu Shoucheng.

At this moment, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a few dollars, and asked the saleswoman: "Those two boxes of malt milk essence and milk powder sell for a lot of money." ”

"Twenty-five." As soon as the saleswoman spoke, Liu Dongmei was dissatisfied, she said: "You collected fifteen yuan, why is it so expensive." ”

"You go to the store and take a look, less than thirty will not sell." The saleswoman was full of confidence and disdain.

This loser, what was originally worth thirty yuan, he only sold it for half the price, and put it in a net pocket.

Tiemin gritted his back molars, it seemed that Shengzi couldn't avoid this beating.

Liu Dongmei also wanted to have a few words with the saleswoman, but was dragged by Tiemin and left.

"What do you mean?" Liu Dongmei looked a little angry, and was dragged by Tiemin's arm to the second floor.

"People must make money." Tie Min said a fair word for the female after-sales staff.

"What do you mean when I ask you to buy it back?" Liu Dongmei exposed her love for gossip.

Tiemin smiled bitterly.

He couldn't tell Liu Dongmei that he wanted to buy two boxes of malt milk essence and whole milk powder and send them back to Xie Guizhi. can't let the family be scolded, but let the son make a small fortune.

"Don't let the child know, I told you." Liu Dongmei became nervous, her face turned red, and she blocked Tiemin's way again.

Tie Min was wary this time, he hid aside first, causing Liu Dongmei to smile.

"Alright, you get off the night shift, find a place to sleep." Liu Dongmei accompanied Tie Min to the bench in the corridor of the ward.

A sick man was sitting there smoking, and she whispered a few words to someone, and the sick man got up and left.

"Don't ......" is not the tip of Tiemin's ears and heard what Liu Dongmei said, but Liu Dongmei's big voice, which lowered her voice, and her penetrating power is also leveraged.

She said, "This one of us stayed up all night and wanted to sleep here for a while." ”

When Tie Min heard this, he immediately got goosebumps. He doesn't know when he became the one in Liu Dongmei's family, isn't this a burying person.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can lie down for me honestly." Liu Dongmei's enthusiasm made Tiemin very uncomfortable, and she actually put on a wrestling posture and pressed Tiemin on the bench.

Tie Min was taken care of by Dong Zhensheng last night and had already slept for half a night. For those who work in the shunting group all year round, it is equivalent to a night's sleep.

Besides, he still needs to think carefully about how to appease Xie Guizhi when he gives birth to a child. The main thing is that the birth of a son is likely to lose the money, and he does not know how to fill this shortfall.

Tie Min closed his eyes, afraid that Liu Dongmei would not hesitate to go out with him, so he sat down again.

Liu Dongmei was quite interesting, and she returned to the ward. It didn't take much effort, so he brought a quilt and covered Tie Min, who couldn't help but open his eyes again and said, "I'm not cold." ”

"When you fall asleep, it's too late to know it's cold." Liu Dongmei was coercive again, and put the quilt on Tiemin's body.

Tie Min closed her eyes, Liu Dongmei had the intention to stay and talk to him a few more words, but she was forced to dispel it, and she returned to the ward.

Tie Min was full of thoughts about giving birth to a son and scolding Xie Guizhi, and he couldn't sleep at all.

One thing is certain, when he sees his son again, he can't stretch out his hand and fight. had to coax out the money in the son's hand first, and then he filled in a little more money, bought four gifts in the same way, and took the son to Wang Li's house to apologize.

It is estimated that Wang Li's mother will read the relationship between him and Wang Li, and if the adults don't remember the villain's mistakes, this matter will pass.

When he thought of Wang Li, Tie Min was excited. Fortunately, there is a quilt to cover him, no matter how excited he is, he will not be discovered.

In order to alleviate his emotions, Tie Min forced himself to turn his thoughts to Liu Shoucheng, he really didn't expect that Liu Shoucheng turned out to be such a person.

Tie Min has known Liu Shoucheng since he was a child, and knows that he is a well-known vicious hand in the railway area of the town.

The people who hate Liu Shoucheng have long been scolded by his ancestors for eight generations.

Tie Min doesn't scold, in the past, when he thought of Liu Shoucheng, Tie Min wanted to pinch him by the neck and watch him slowly suffocate to death.

The cause of the incident has to start with Wang Li asking him to pay for the parasol.

At the critical moment, Tiemin sacrificed his life to save Wang Li, but Wang Li asked for compensation.

"You saved her life, and she asked you to pay for the umbrella, which is unreasonable." The big bull fought for the iron people.

Tiemin didn't pay attention to the big cow, and he didn't bother to say that the big cow was idle, and he almost killed someone.

He left the train station and went directly to the store, where he saw a folding umbrella of the same style, priced at twelve dollars and five.

If this umbrella is only sold for three or five yuan, Tie Min will definitely buy a new umbrella and send it to Wang Li without saying a word, although he does not know where Wang Li's family lives.

I believe that there is a big cow who is in trouble, and I don't have to worry about finding Wang Li's house.

More than ten yuan for an umbrella, which is equivalent to a week's living expenses of Tie Min's family, he is reluctant.

Da Niu and Tie Min have been together since childhood, and they grew up wearing live crotch pants, and he can see Tie Min's thoughts at a glance.

Seeing that Tie Min was powerless and couldn't stop, Da Niu actually laughed.

"What's the matter, come with me, I'll make sure you buy this umbrella." The big bull's chest slapped the sound of "Bang Bang", and Tie Min knew what he meant.

If you change to someone else, you will definitely say: "You caused the trouble in the first place, and you almost killed someone, so you should pay for this umbrella." ”

Tie Min and Da Niu are together, and they have never been serious about a certain matter, arguing about being ugly.

The two walked out of the store, Da Niu walked in front, and Tiemin followed. didn't go far, and when he saw that Da Niu was going to the scene, he didn't even say hello, turned around and walked home.

Da Niu turned around and disappeared Tiemin, trotted back, caught up with Tiemin and said, "What do you mean, you dumped me halfway." ”

Tie Min is just smiling, but he is no longer going with Da Niu.

Aunt Zhou went home for dinner at noon. Seeing the stewed vegetables on the pot and the newly steamed mixed noodle steamed buns buckled in the basin, he knew that Tiemin had signed up to come back.

She went to the inner room and asked Tiemin, who was reviewing his homework, how the recruitment status was. The mother and son didn't say a few words, but they heard Da Niu outside, shouting Tiemin's name, and Tiemin went out in response.

Their family lived on the second floor of a small building built by the devil at that time, and there were four families living in this building at the beginning, and each house had a toilet and a bath.

After the liberation, the housing of the families of railway workers was tight, so the unit changed one building into eight, and the toilets and baths were all converted into housing.

Da Niu and Tie Min are two of the four families on the first floor.

Da Niu waited in the cave of the building, and when he saw Tie Min coming out, he slapped a folding umbrella that had not yet been unpacked in Tie Min's hand and said, "Send it to Wang Li." ”

"Where did you get that?" Tiemin said something that didn't seem stupid to him.

"You don't care where you got it." Da Niu's answer is the same nature as what Tie Min said, it is all nonsense.

Outsiders may easily answer this sentence, bought it from the store, but the two of them deliberately avoided the topic.

They both knew that the brand-new folding umbrella must have been bought from a store. The focus of the question is, where did Da Niu get the money to buy this folding umbrella.

"I don't want it." Tiemin returned the umbrella to the big cow.

"This umbrella is a women's one, and it's useless for me to keep it." Da Niu replied simply.

"That ......" Tie Min seemed to see Wang Li's indifferent face again.

Wang Li was almost hit by a train, and her face at that time was not bloody at first, and then "Teng" turned red.

I don't know what happened to her.

Tie Min saw Wang Li for the first time, it had been less than two hours since they broke up, and when he thought of her, his heart itched.

Da Niu provided Tiemin with a chance to meet Wang Li again, and Tiemin had no reason to refuse.

Tiemin got on his bicycle, Da Niu sat on the back shelf, and the two went to Shuilouzi.

The northwest end of the town, near the main railway line, is known as the water building. It is named after a water tower that rises high above the railway area, which is used to supply drinking water to the railway area and nearby residents.

In the early days of liberation, in order to solve the housing difficulties of the workers of various railway stations, the railway built a large number of brick houses under the water building, which were called dry bases.

The so-called dry base is a simple house that does not need to dig a foundation and lays bricks on the ground. There is only running water, no sewers, and no other living facilities such as heating.

It may be that at the beginning of the construction, the relevant departments set this as a temporary building, so everything is simple. Now, more than 30 years have passed, and there are many more small houses built privately, and nothing else has been improved.

Wang Li's house is in the middle of a row of dry houses.

Tie Min really admired Da Niu's ability, he didn't need to ask, he directly led Tie Min to the door of Wang Li's house.

Before the iron people set up the bicycle, the big cow slammed the big iron gate of Wang Li's house.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Li's sharp voice came: "Who, what are you doing!" ”

The big cow "sliding" and ran away.

On the surface, Tie Min stood firmly in front of the door, but his little heart, "plopping, plopping" jumping, he was about to lose his position.

The courtyard door opened, Wang Li's face turned red with anger, she brought a basin of dirty water, and was about to splash it out.

When Wang Li saw Tiemin, she was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something, Tiemin sent the folding umbrella over and said, "This is my umbrella with you." ”

This was something Wang Li didn't expect.

A parasol for a dozen dollars, now it seems to be a piece of cake. At that time, it was half a month's salary for ordinary workers. In the small town, only a person like Wang Li, who is called a family of 10,000 yuan, can be willing to spend this price to buy an umbrella.

What surprised Wang Li even more was that the hand holding the umbrella was already shaking so much that it made people dizzy.

Etiquette to others, there must be a plan.

Wang Li ignored Tie Min and turned sideways to go out to pour dirty water. The Iron Man stopped her way and said, "I'll come." ”

Tie Min stuffed the umbrella under Wang Li's armpit, took the dirty water basin from Wang Li's hand, and turned to look for the place to pour the dirty water.

"Just pour it into the dirty well." Wang Li didn't refuse, and her voice became gentle.

As she commanded, the Iron Man poured water into the dirty well and brought back the empty basin.

"Actually, I didn't want you to lose your umbrella." Wang Li spoke her heart. She brought the umbrella to Tiemin and said, "Without you pulling me, I ......"

Wang Li blushed and looked at Tie Min with a smile.

A layer of sweat broke out on Tiemin's forehead, he didn't dare to look at Wang Li, and he didn't want to walk away so quickly.

Tie Min was a stranger in front of Wang Li after all. She stood there, without the idea of inviting Tie Min into the house to sit down, and Tie Min had no intention of leaving immediately.

The two of them stood silently at the door.

Tie Min was depressed for a few moments, and finally found a topic and said: "What else do you need me to do in your family, what I have is strength." ”

"Take the umbrella back, I don't want it." Wang Li is quite sober, she knows what the consequences will be after accepting this umbrella.

Tiemin returned the basin to Wang Li, and when he saw that Wang Li was going to stuff the umbrella into his hand, he turned around and left.

Tie Min walked a few steps before remembering that the bicycle was still parked in front of Wang Li's house. He ran back, pushed the bicycle, and saw Wang Li still standing at the door looking at him in a daze, he pedaled the bicycle and said, "What kind of work will there be at home in the future, just squeak." ”

Tiemin was in a hurry, trying to ride a bicycle, and he had already stepped on the stirrup, and he was careless and bald again. He fell to the ground with the bicycle, and Wang Li walked out of the courtyard gate in surprise, just about to speak.

The iron man got up, pushed his bicycle and ran.

Wang Li couldn't help but laugh when she saw his funny appearance.

"Damn, Tiemin, you're awesome." The big bull appeared from the side, and Chong Tiemin gave a thumbs up and said, "In this part of our railway, there are no less than ten people who are worried about this girl." ”

"Less nonsense." Tie Min's expression returned to normal, and he discussed with Da Niu about repaying the money. He said, "I'll pay you back two dollars a month, and seven months to pay you back your umbrella." ”

The big cow faked his fingers and calculated, "That's so troublesome." ”

"I don't have that much money." Tiemin pulled out the few dollars he had in his pocket.

This is a week's living expenses for his family, and he is responsible for the family's three meals a day.

"Who told you to take the family money?" Da Niu made a suggestion, and Tie Min listened to it, shaking his head like an electric fan.

Da Niu understands Tiemin's personality, and he also knows Tiemin's father, Zhou Lao's stubborn temper.

"You just have to go with me once." Da Niu played a trick and said that he would only go to the arrival site for a turn, and then go home.

The town's railroad family is a common occurrence when they go to the arrival site.

Sometimes you can get the benefit of picking up broken wood next to the railway line, or the cinder that leaks when the locomotive cleans the ashes.

If you replace the old sleepers in the public works section, you may be able to catch a few sleepers, which is the best firewood for fire.

Although Tie Min is stupid and honest, he still knows the intention of Da Niu's words.

"When I get to work, I'll be able to pay off your umbrella money in three months." The iron man got on his bicycle and motioned for the big bull to hurry up and get on the bike.

"I just remembered that the public works section has changed sleepers again." The big bull deceived the iron people, and deceived a quasi-child.

Tie Min really became interested in this topic, and he also gave himself a taste of entering the police station for the first time in his life.
