065 Director Wang's house
The next day, Yang Xiaotao thought about it all night and felt that he still couldn't think of them too well.
I also said yesterday that if you take precautions, you can't do nothing.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao cut five or six catties of leeks in the yard, picked some tomatoes and cucumbers, and sent some to Uncle Chen, and divided the rest into two parts.
Then he fished out the fish from the fish tank and slapped them to death, put them in a bag, and divided them into two parts.
A small portion was prepared for the Zhou family, and the remaining large portion was prepared for Director Wang of the Street Office, which was also prepared by his aunt Wang.
Since the last time Mrs. Yang left, he hasn't gone to the door.
Although he was suspected of climbing relatives, he didn't want to climb up, not to mention that it was very honorable to be a worker in this era, and he would be a worker in peace and stability before it was opened.
As for the relationship, it is also to reduce trouble.
Putting things into the storage space, Yang Xiaotao went out early in the morning.
The three masters in the front yard got up early to move their bodies, and today he made up his mind to go fishing for some fish and come back, and he prepared a lot of fish food for this.
"Xiao Tao, it's so early! Go out. ”
Yan Fugui watched Yang Xiaotao go out and hurriedly asked.
Although it took a few books in exchange for some leek tomatoes, it was already very face-saving to be able to exchange for things.
Especially the second master and the first uncle have touched a gray nose, and he, the third uncle, can highlight his good popularity.
"Three masters, it's early."
"Get out for a walk."
Yang Xiaotao said politely, then turned around and left.
Yan Fugui looked at the back of the departing and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"This kid is really running at the right time, and anything good can happen."
"Do you want to walk around in the future?"
Thinking of the books at home, Yan Fugui's heart was alive.
Yang Xiaotao went to Zhou's house first, and then went to the grain store on the way and bought twenty catties of stick noodles, which he rarely eats at home, mainly the instant noodles and dried noodles that are exchanged for enough food, and these grains cannot be avoided.
When I came to the outside of the compound, I saw Zhou Kui leading his two younger sisters to play in the corner, he has no formal job now, and he is a temporary worker.
There should be nothing to do at the moment.
When Yang Xiaotao approached, Zhou Kui saw it and immediately ran over with his two younger sisters.
"Brother Tao, you, why are you here?"
Yang Xiaotao threw the grain bag to Zhou Kui, and then the two little girls carried fish and vegetables, although they were also puzzled, but the smile on their faces did not fade.
"Rest today, come to your house to eat."
"Where's Auntie?"
"My mother is at home, and my second brother is also at home."
The youngest Zhou Xue said quickly, and Yang Xiaotao nodded and walked towards the house.
On the way, it was not unusual for the people in the surrounding yards to see Yang Xiaotao.
The situation of Yang Xiaotao and the Zhou family is also clear, and the comparison is not strange.
However, Yang Xiaotao will bring something every time he comes to this week's house, and these things are eye-catching in this era, especially when I heard that Yang Xiaotao has become a second-level fitter, and the salary is really enough for one person to feed the whole family and not be hungry.
At this time, the Zhou family is already much stronger than last year, the second Zhou Peng has become a regular worker, and the monthly salary savings are enough for the family, plus Yang Xiaotao often helps, the days of the Zhou family are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest girl of the Zhou family was only ten years old, the people around him would think that Yang Xiaotao had fallen in love with someone else and was ready to get married.
However, they also heard about some things about Yang Xiaotao, but they were not very good, so they kept their distance.
Greeting the uncle who was basking in the sun and saying a few polite words, Yang Xiaotao walked to Zhou's house, and Aunt Zhou had already begun to prepare meals.
At the dinner table, Yang Xiaotao told the situation in the vegetable garden, and Aunt Zhou was also surprised when she heard it.
No one has ever done this courtyard to grow vegetables.
Previously, the Zhou Kui brothers went to help and came back to talk about it, but she only thought it was Yang Xiaotao messing around, but she didn't want to really do it.
Aunt Zhou was also a little moved, although their house did not have a yard, there was also a road in front of the door.
Even if you can't plant it in the ground, you can find a box and plant it in it.
Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Kui's body and the amount of food, and made a decision in her heart.
So, after eating, Aunt Zhou made her decision, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family all nodded in agreement, only Yang Xiaotao could only agree helplessly.
He knows why his vegetable garden can grow so well, and without Xiaowei's help, he doesn't know what it will look like.
However, Yang Xiaotao didn't stop it, after all, this kind of attempt is not bad, it has become something that everyone has to eat, and if it doesn't work, it's just a waste of time, and it's harmless.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao told the Zhou brothers about the things in the yard, and also told Aunt Zhou what to do if someone came to investigate in the future.
As an elder, Aunt Zhou naturally knows this.
Then Yang Xiaotao left Zhou's house and followed the address given by Aunt Wang last time.
On the way, considering the first visit, Yang Xiaotao found two bottles of Xifeng wine and two boxes of cigarettes from the space.
Then he carried the gift and walked all the way to a small three-story building, the walls were all white, there was no decoration, the room was north and south, and the windows were also open on both sides.
After asking the old lady on the street, he went to the second floor and knocked on the door.
There was two knocks, and the door opened.
The door was opened by an eight- or nine-year-old boy, with a tiger's head and big eyes, and asked.
"Who are you looking for?"
Yang Xiaotao looked inside and saw that there was no one else, and then asked with a smile, "I'm Yang Xiaotao from Yangjia Village, is your mother at home?" ”
When the little boy heard this, he did not let the door open, but shouted into the house, "Mom, Mom, someone is looking for you." ”
After a while, he heard someone coming out of the house, and then Yang Xiaotao saw Director Wang holding his sleeves and carrying water in his hands, wiping his apron as he walked, walking quickly.
"Xiao Tao, why are you here, come in, come in."
Director Wang was also surprised to see Yang Xiaotao, but he quickly reacted, pulled Yang Xiaotao into the house, and then shouted to the little boy inside, "Huzi, go and call your father." ”
"Oh!"
The little boy ran out with a gust of wind, and Director Wang took off his apron and asked Yang Xiaotao to sit down.
When he came to the house, Yang Xiaotao took a look at the house, which was a standard house with two bedrooms, two south bedrooms, a living room in the middle, and a small kitchen and bathroom in the north.
The main theme of the room is the green walls characteristic of this era, and there is a table in the middle of the living room with a radio, some teacups, and a light bulb hanging overhead.
"Xiao Tao, you are here, why are you bringing so many things."
"Aunt Wang, this is not a visit, this is the first time, you can't come empty-handed."
"What's wrong with empty hands, we won't do this in the future."
Director Wang said sincerely, everyone can't eat enough in this era, and these things add up to the living expenses of ordinary people for a month.
Yang Xiaotao listened, smiled and said no, and then asked Director Wang about the situation.
Director Wang also sat aside, took a glass of boiling water and put it in front of Yang Xiaotao, talking about the latest situation.
Because of the effective disaster relief last time, Director Wang received the above commendation.
Although he was not directly promoted, he also left a good impression, so he waited for the seat above to be vacated and went up.
I talked about work in a sentence or two, and Yang Xiaotao didn't care, so he asked about the situation at home.
"Your uncle's surname is Li, his name is Li Tiejun, he works in the power supply station, is a team leader, and is in charge of three or two people."
"The one who ran out was Xiaohuzi, and he had a sister who was in middle school."
Director Wang introduced the situation and asked about Yang Xiaotao again.
Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, the door was pushed open, and a slightly thin man walked in, wearing blue overalls, thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips, looking with a sense of simplicity, which made people feel real.
Behind him was Xiaohuzi, who had already run into the house.
When the man walked in, he saw Yang Xiaotao getting up.
Director Wang on the side immediately came up to introduce.
"Lao Li, this is the Yang Jiazhuang I told you about, the grandson of Old Lady Yang, Yang Xiaotao."
"Xiao Tao, this is my lover, you can call Uncle Li."
Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle Li, I'm Yang Xiaotao, it's the first time I've come here." ”
"Okay, okay, sit down, sit down!"
Li Tiejun opened his mouth in a loud voice, with enthusiasm on his face, and stretched out his hand to let Yang Xiaotao sit down quickly.
Yang Xiaotao saw that his hands were full of calluses, not worse than the workers in the workshop, and he was obviously a hard-working man.
Director Wang said the matter on the side, and Li Tiejun straightened his face, "Take this thing back." We don't want to do this. ”
"It's not that Uncle Li looks down on you, don't take it to heart."
"I also often go to the factory, you workers are really tired of doing physical work, with this money to buy some food to replenish your body, just live a good life."
Sure enough, it's not a family, and it doesn't enter a family.
Yang Xiaotao could only tell the situation, and it happened that the two of them were at home, so they didn't hide it.
"Aunt Wang, Uncle Li. That's what I'm here for. ”
Yang Xiaotao drank saliva and began to talk about growing vegetables in the yard, of course, he didn't say anything dirty in the courtyard, but he was worried that he would be misunderstood if he gave others vegetables, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he came.
When the two of them heard this, they were a little confused.
"Xiao Tao, you said that you grew these vegetables?"
Director Wang was the first to ask, it has been so many years, and I really haven't heard of anyone growing vegetables in the yard.
Yang Xiaotao can only affirm again that Director Wang also knows that this matter cannot be faked, otherwise he will know it as soon as he goes to see it.
Li Tiejun picked up a tomato, and the little tiger that came out next to him had already gnawed it, and the red juice was all over his mouth, making Li Tiejun frown, ready to scold.
"Xiao Tao, Aunt Wang is very happy that you have this heart to help people in need."
"You did the right thing, don't be afraid of others chewing your tongue, as long as you sit upright, no one will dare to bully you."
"In our society, we need someone to stand up and help those who are in difficulty, especially those who have contributed to the country.
"With great ability comes great responsibility! Xiao Tao did a good job. ”
Li Tiejun on the side was also full of appreciation, and at this time, a bold idea rose in Director Wang's mind, and then he was out of control, looking at Yang Xiaotao and asking carefully.
"Xiaotao, what do you say will happen if the neighborhood office organizes the promotion of the vegetable garden?"
Yang Xiaotao knew that it would be like this as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't say it in detail, it was still the same sentence, it was the best to succeed, and it was just a waste of a few cents if it didn't work.
"Hmmm! Aunt Wang, I think so, since I can grow vegetables in my yard, other yards can naturally grow them. ”
"We are living in difficulty now, and we can't always count on state subsidies."
"With vegetables in the yard, it can also reduce the burden on the country."
Yang Xiaotao said, Director Wang kept nodding, she really wanted to do something for the country.
"However, Aunt Wang, it's okay to start with the street office in this matter, but it can only be encouraged, not forced."
Yang Xiaotao said it again, and Director Wang naturally heard the meaning of the words.
This is also why Yang Xiaotao is afraid that he will not be able to end in the end, so he can only prepare in advance.
"Well, you're right."
Director Wang also knows that some yards can grow vegetables, but some families are not suitable at all and cannot be forced.
Yang Xiaotao sat for a while and was about to leave.
Li Tiejun and Director Wang naturally wanted to keep him for dinner, but Yang Xiaotao refused on the grounds that it was dark, and the two could only take out cigarettes and alcohol for him to take back.
Yang Xiaotao won't take it anymore, so he left something to go home.
In the house, Yang Xiaotao was sent away, and Director Wang picked up a cucumber and tasted it carefully.
Li Tiejun stepped aside, "Your nephew is very capable." ”
Director Wang nodded, and then thought of something, and said Yang Xiaotao's concerns.
"Is there really a yard like this?"
Li Tiejun listened to Director Wang's introduction, and was also surprised by the people in the courtyard.
"Who wouldn't say, if it weren't for the shortage of housing now, I would have wanted to change it for him."
"This kid has been wronged a lot in it."
"After that, just look at the support points."
"Hmm."
The two whispered, but Yang Xiaotao walked to the courtyard in the last afterglow.
