Chapter 14: Lou Xiao'e's thoughts
"Today is my happy day for Xu Damao, and there is one less bachelor in our courtyard."
Xu Damao held the wine glass and said loudly.
Before returning to the courtyard, I ate a table in the small villa of the Lou family, all of whom were big people, or identities, or net worth.
There are also the leaders and directors of the rolling mill.
Xu Damao's three or two wines were a little floating.
The Lou family chose Xu Damao because of the ingredient factor, his own composition is not good, and finding a family who was a subordinate before the founding of the People's Republic of China can be regarded as neutralizing with the poor.
Even if there is such a big event as the daughter's marriage, it is just a low-key table at home.
It is not appropriate to publicize it in the general environment.
But Xu Damao's villain is ambitious, but he can't keep a low profile.
"Moth, you go and shout Wei Ping'an, that kid, the money is gone, and people have to go to the table. Our old Xu family is not bad for this pair of chopsticks. ”
Although Xu Damao is really a villain, he is really particular about the cards.
Able to get your hands on it.
When it came to the bachelor in the courtyard before, he counted his fingers, and he was a stupid pillar of his rivalry.
And then there is Wei Ping'an, who is just old enough.
Today, he Xu Damao married a beautiful woman, and his father-in-law's family still has money and background, so it would be a waste to lose his envy of Wei Ping'an.
Lou Xiao'e first arrived, and in line with the attitude of her husband and wife, she also walked over here.
That is, the table is placed in the middle courtyard, and the big guys are watching, otherwise a little daughter-in-law will knock on the door of the single young man alone, and she will not be poked in the back.
Xu Damao is also a novice on the road, and he wants to find a husband as the key feeling.
I can't say that I might regret it if I wake up.
How can anyone send his own daughter-in-law to someone else's door?
"What, Wei Ping'an has eaten at home and is reading."
After a while, Lou Xiao'e came back in a hurry, but Wei Ping'an didn't follow.
"Since people don't want to come, let's eat ours, don't worry about him."
Uncle Yi Zhonghai spoke.
"Hey, it's also a happy event in our compound, even I'm sitting here, and he also put up a score......"
Silly Zhu followed behind an uncle and complained.
There was a sudden silence on the table, and then there was laughter and eating and drinking again.
Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting quietly next to Xu Damao, was not calm in her heart.
As soon as she walked past the windowsill, she saw through the glass window the large desk and bookshelves inside.
She then knocked on the door, a little curious at the time.
As a lady, who is not a lover of literature anymore.
I opened the door and took a quick look......
How to put it, it's quite amazing.
Lou Xiao'e is the daughter of Director Lou's family who has a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.
There is no shortage of vision and insight.
But he was still "eye-opened" by the atmosphere and layout of Wei Ping'an's home.
was politely refused to go to the courtyard outside for a banquet, and when she turned around, Lou Xiao'e saw red wine bottles, goblets, vaguely, and the tools and ...... of Western food A whole steak!
That's a steak!
Definitely yes.
This is also a particularly precious ingredient in Lou Xiao'e's memory.
This is the environment of this era.
Even if the Lou family is as rich as that, it is not possible to eat whatever you want.
An ordinary worker in a rolling mill, reading a book and tasting a steak in red wine at home......
Do you dare to believe it?
Lou Xiao'e saw Wei Ping'an on a blind date last week, starting with his appearance, and now he is curious about his mystery and amazed by his life.
On the way back, Lou Xiao'e had some complicated emotions in her heart, and the moment before she sat back on the stool, she suddenly realized.
Born at the wrong time, the opportunity is missed.
The men around him are vulgar and frivolous, and the jokes are vulgar yellow jokes, and they float up when they encounter something, and now they are drunk in a daze, and they are not stable at all.
But......
Marriage is not a person's business, and there is a family to support behind it.
It's still the kind of home with bad ingredients.
Lou Xiao'e turned her head and subconsciously looked at the small courtyard.
In a group of laborers, outside the noisy wedding banquet, there was a knowledgeable young man who lived alone, sitting in a quiet courtyard and watching the situation.
Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt a little excited.
The wedding banquet continued, Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e, and neither of them was an errand person.
Even if Xu Damao was almost in the past, now that he has the Lou family's marriage, it will not be a bad thing.
Therefore, the banquet is very atmospheric, there are chickens, fish, and meat, compared with the scattered white of the previous three masters, they are all bottled wine.
Although there is only one bottle of Erwotou at a table, this is also remarkable.
The wedding feast was not long in progress, because the people who ate it were devouring.
There were also women and children watching outside, they didn't go to the table, but they were all waiting for the autumn wind.
When Xu Damao and his family returned to the backyard, the middle yard was also cleaned and returned to their respective homes.
The dull and unquiet night passed.
……
If you want to fit into an era, don't be a maverick.
Wearing workers' clothes and doing things that are normal for ordinary people, even if it is big fish and meat, it is also an excuse to find an excuse in advance, and then enjoy it quietly at home.
However, the winter is cold and the summer is hot, this Wei Ping'an really can't stand it.
Therefore, during the period when the harsh winter passed and the capital warmed up, Wei Ping'an secretly dismantled a 2-horse air conditioner exchanged for points, and drew a structural drawing.
It's just that the requirements for each component are stricter, and it takes more time to build.
For example, copper pipes not only need to be bent in arcs, but also need to resist compression, and the accuracy of the convex rotor of the compressor ......
Therefore, making a manual air conditioner is still within the ability of an eight-level fitter.
After all, the fitter level of hand-rubbing nuclear bomb parts is level eight.
The intensity of the work is not the problem, the problem is the acquisition of materials as well as the time it takes.
It took Wei Ping'an a month and a half of scattered time to finally complete the production.
Sprayed with army green paint, in line with the characteristics of this era, it will not look abrupt.
The external unit is covered by a wooden baffle, and noise reduction and mute treatment are also deliberately made.
Every detail is a proper black technology in the current era.
Tomorrow's rest day, Wei Ping'an plans to install it first if he has time in the afternoon.
Ding Ding Ding!
A string of crisp bells rang.
The day's work at the rolling mill is officially over.
In the queue of the river, Wei Ping'an walked in a hurry.
He was going to Chaoyang Market today to buy some vegetables and a chicken.
The main thing is to leave proof of the bill for buying chickens.
Yesterday, He Yuzhu didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he broke into Wei Ping'an's house and bumped into him eating chicken stewed mushrooms.
I didn't knock when I entered the house, and the relationship was not so familiar.
It deserves to be called a stupid pillar.
Qin Huairu's birth of a child is their Jia family's business, and I eat stewed chicken at home, which is in the way.
Silly Zhu PUA's technology was beginner, and he obviously didn't get home, so he was squeezed back by Wei Ping'an in a few words.
Why do you have to give Qin Huairu a copy of your own stewed chicken?
The husband and wife are harmonious, and the family is happy, so you can worry about He Yuzhu.
Wei Ping'an, who is accustomed to dripping water, is not very relieved, so he will make up a bill today.
The time difference is a day and a half, and the days can be confused after a long time.
The difference and the doubt are two completely different outcomes.
"Hey, Ping An bought a chicken today, is this to improve the food?"
The third master was squatting at the door and tending to his few pots of flowers and plants, and when he saw Wei Ping'an entering the courtyard, he took the initiative to say hello.
During this time, I can always meet every time I fish, and occasionally I come back with a partner, and the relationship seems to be a lot more familiar.
"Yes, did the three masters eat it?"
Speaking of this topic, Yan Bugui's small eyes immediately flashed a gleam.
"Not yet, tomorrow's rest day, why don't you come in and have a drink." Your three mothers are very good at stewing chicken......"
"I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't bother the three mothers, let's go back next time, wait for the next time."
The next reply is about endless.
Yan Bugui has a good abacus.
Buy a chicken for two more yuan, if you let the three mothers stew at your house, how many pieces of meat can you eat?
Just for the loose liquor mixed with water?
Not.
In the entire courtyard, except for the three masters who are careful about their calculations, Wei Ping'an has no neighbors to socialize.
When I returned to my home in the middle courtyard, I put the chickens into the system space when I entered the door.
When I left in the morning, there were white flour steamed buns in the pot that had already cooled, and they were still soft.
On the kitchen balcony, the small shallots in the two small wooden basins stand tall against the sunset, and they are already old enough to pick and eat.
The weather gradually got hotter, and Wei Ping'an's appetite also decreased.
He is not short of oil and water, so he will not feel hungry if he eats less.
Two white flour steamed buns, served with shallots dipped in bean paste.
Although the quality of the soybean paste redeemed by points is not guaranteed, the taste is beautiful.
After the meal, Wei Ping'an took out two thick letters, opened them, and sorted the food stamps, meat stamps and banknotes inside, as well as the letters of book friends and the letters of the editors of the magazine, into drawers.
During this period, Wei Ping'an's literary standard increased, and the frequency of rejection was almost zero.
There are also some fixed "book friends", and they will occasionally get some "money tickets" from book friends.
Coupled with the high manuscript fee even if it is discounted twice, Wei Ping'an's confidence has been enriched a lot.
As long as the money and bills are not stolen or robbed, they will be quietly enjoyed without being discovered.
If it is discovered, it is only envied and jealous, and it will not be reported as a matter of principle.
The next day, the clouds were high and the sky was clear.
Wei Ping'an went fishing with his equipment on his back.
"I thought you weren't here today......"
