At noon, Wang Weidong returned to his home at the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and he looked at the four or five flower baskets on the east side of the courtyard.

The flower basket is not a basket for flowers, but a large basket made of wicker for apples. The Xiangyang Chemical Plant has to distribute a large number of benefits every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching, including apples and pears purchased from Liao Province.

Each family has a basket, and the whole factory wafts with the smell of apples.

Now the apples and pears have long been eaten, leaving a few flower baskets to put in the yard of the landlord Sun Youcai's house. At noon, Sun Youcai and Xie Yulan returned home and saw Wang Weidong cooking.

Wang Weidong cut the cucumber into thin strips, chopped the garlic into foam, added soy sauce and vinegar, mixed a cold dish, and then put two bowls of millet porridge and grandma to eat with steamed buns.

"Wei Dong really cooks twice, and the cucumber is so finely cut!" Sun Youcai said with a sigh.

"I gave Master Yang a year of fighting, and if I didn't cut it well, he would scold me!" Wang Weidong replied with a smile.

The biggest advantage of the factory canteen is that it is cheap, but cooking so-so is always foolish, but a chef like Old Chef Yang has developed a habit, he can't and won't fool around, so the requirements for the people around him are also very strict, which also makes some people who work very dissatisfied with Chef Yang.

Big pot rice has the benefits of big pot rice, what is good and what is not good is not obvious, and it is a bird, and slowly many people become lazy.

"Uncle Sun, I saw a few flower baskets in the yard, can you give me two?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Those baskets are kept for the fire, and they will be given to you if you want." Sun Youcai replied generously.

After eating at noon, Wang Weidong parked his bicycle in the yard, found hemp rope, and tied two baskets to both sides of the bicycle.

Grandma Huang Guiying sat on the kang and talked to Wang Weidong through the open window, she couldn't see with her eyes and didn't know what Wang Weidong was doing.

People are old, the biggest problem is loneliness, Wang Weidong is at home today, and the old lady finally found someone who can talk to her.

"Aren't you chatting with Mrs. Gao?" Wang Weidong asked.

Mrs. Gao is the one who introduced the house to Wang Weidong, and she is over seventy.

"Mrs. Gao has to take care of her grandson, her grandson is very naughty at the age of five, either running or climbing, and Mrs. Gao is tired to death every day." Huang Guiying replied.

After the basket was tied, Wang Weidong felt very satisfied, and it was indeed much better to put the vegetables in the baskets on both sides than in the sacks.

In the evening, Sun Youcai returned home and saw two flower baskets tied to the bicycle in the yard, which he thought was very strange.

"Weidong, what are you doing with the basket tied to the bicycle?" Sun Youcai asked.

"I'm going to ride my bike to the countryside to collect vegetables and sell them at the farmers' market." Wang Weidong replied.

Sun Youcai's body froze suddenly, looking at Wang Weidong speechless for a long time, his eyes were like looking at a young man who had lost his footing.

"Weidong, Weidong, you come in!" Grandma Huang Guiying shouted.

Wang Weidong walked into the inner room and stood by the kang.

Huang Guiying suddenly swept towards Wang Weidong with a sweep. Although the old lady couldn't see with her eyes, her ears were very sensitive, and she judged Wang Weidong's position by listening to the footsteps, and swept it steadily and fiercely on Wang Weidong's body.

"I'll kill you if there's nothing to do! I've disgraced you with my old face! Huang Guiying scolded.

Sun Youcai and his wife Xie Yulan stood at the door of the room, and they all looked at this scene with eyes that hated iron and steel.

"Let's go, the movie is about to start." Sun Youcai said to his wife.

He said as if explaining to Wang Weidong: "Workshop invoice, watch the play at half past six in the evening." ”

This sentence contains a lot of meaning, how good it is to be a worker, every month the thunder does not move, there is a salary, work clothes, towels and soap, gel shoes in summer, big-toed shoes in winter, moon cakes on August 15, fruits, pork, peanuts and melon seeds for the New Year, and movie tickets to watch movies from time to time. Children don't spend money on studying, they don't spend money on medical treatment, and the house is allocated by the state, it's like entering heaven.

But Wang Weidong didn't want to speculate and went to sell vegetables, saying that he would lose his death!

Grandma Huang Guiying fell on the kang all of a sudden, her face facing the wall and not saying a word to Wang Weidong.

It was getting dark, and there was not even a radio at home, so I had to lie down and sleep. The two of them couldn't sleep while lying on the kang, and they were thinking about their thoughts with their eyes open in the dark.

Two hours later, Sun Youcai and Xie Yulan returned home, and the two of them had not yet come out of the plot of the drama "In the Silent Place".

"Did you say the two of them were husband and wife?" Xie Yulan asked.

"Probably not, they are all actors, comradeship." Sun Youcai replied.

Xie Yulan's tongue twitched and said: "It's not easy to be an actor, it's not that husband and wife have to shake hands on stage!" ”

Hearing this sentence through the door, Wang Weidong almost laughed. In this day and age, it is surprising and embarrassing to see men and women shaking hands in movies and dramas, but decades later, actors and actresses have opened their mouths and become entangled.

I don't know if they will have a heart attack when they see this scene at that time.

At four o'clock the next day, Wang Weidong got up and made a fire to boil a pot of porridge, ate two bowls of porridge with pickles, and then went out to pick up vegetables on his bicycle.

Hearing the movement outside, Sun Youcai sighed: "Alas, this child! ”

As the father of a college student and a secondary school student in his family, Sun Youcai is very qualified to sigh for Wang Weidong.

Wang Weidong came very early today, and he stood by the wooden bridge waiting for the arrival of the rural brother.

Yesterday, he earned a total of more than two yuan, so that it will be more than 70 yuan a month, and his father Wang Haifu, an eighth-level worker, is only more than 60 yuan a month.

Wang Weidong feels that he still has a lot of room for improvement, at least it is much easier than his father's salary increase.

"Comrade!"

There was a shout in the distance, and the big farmer came towards him with a small cart full of various vegetables.

These dishes were all handed over to him, the Zhang family paid two cents, the Li family paid three cents, and in the end, he made up so much.

Now the production team is working a lot, and many people are not working hard, but they have to stay up for time if they don't work, so it is not easy to squeeze out time to sell vegetables. Okay now, someone runs errands for them.

"Four pieces in total!" The big brother in the countryside said.

Wang Weidong counted four eight dimes and handed them to the rural brother, of which the eight dimes were 20% of the negotiated rural brother's commission.

He first put the radish and gourd on the ground of the basket, and the leafy vegetables on top, and then filled the two baskets with half a sack.

"Big brother's surname?" Wang Weidong asked as he handed a cigarette.

The rural eldest brother was stunned for a moment before replying: "The surname is Zhang, and the morning chapter is established!" ”

He felt that Wang Weidong was a little strange to speak, and now everyone opened their mouths and closed their mouths to say comrade, but Wang Weidong always called him big brother.

"That's all for every day in the future, no more will fit in. I can't come on a rainy day. See you tomorrow! After Wang Weidong finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and headed north.
