North entrance of Wangfujing Street, Jincheng Bank Building.

I've been here again for many years, and I haven't seen what happened last time.

easily handed over the design draft to Luo Xiqing, and then politely declined the other party's invitation to have lunch together and left the building.

Actually, this so-called building is only three floors, and no matter how you look at it, it doesn't have much to do with the building.

It's just that the floors in this era are generally very low, and the third floor is already very high.

Back in the courtyard, the family was calm, but Aunt Wang and Aunt Sui were gloomy.

According to Zhou Hongmei, in the morning, the two aunts borrowed money from door to door, because there was no money to pay for the medical expenses.

Wang Paner's hospitalization fee is also a lot of money, and after discussing with the doctor, she was not hospitalized and went home to recuperate.

In this era, everyone is suffering.

Therefore, the last two aunts were not able to borrow much money.

Anyway, Zhou Hongmei didn't inquire, she only knew that the first aunt and the second aunt borrowed ten yuan each, and the other families estimated that it was one or two yuan.

"Mom, how much money did you borrow?" After asking curiously for many years, Zhou Hongmei suddenly said angrily on her face:

"I didn't scold them for being good, and they still dare to come to the door to borrow money?"

Yes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

With Zhou Hongmei sitting in the family house, she really doesn't worry about these things.

In addition to Aunt Sui and Aunt Wang's borrowing money, in the morning, the street office also came.

I heard that Director Wang sent someone to send some nutritious products to eat, which can be regarded as a little comfort for Aunt Sui.

On this matter, Zhou Hongmei also said angrily that the street office should not waste these nutrients.

He didn't express his opinion for many years, and that was the practice of the neighborhood office, and it had nothing to do with him.

After lunch, I went to the ear room for a turn, and then went back to work in the design institute.

In the afternoon, it was fishing, and nothing happened.

When I got home in the evening, the wall on this side of the earroom had already been scraped a little half, and the finishing touches began.

In other words, in a few days, the house will be completely finished.

So, for many years, I asked Fan Guiming if they knew a carpenter with better craftsmanship to help customize cabinets.

"You can be regarded as asking the right person, I can also do carpentry, and so is Lao Wang, both of us have similar skills."

Zhong Zhenbiao smiled in response, which surprised many years.

"Disrespectful, I didn't expect you to be with Master Wang or a carpenter?"

Masons and carpenters are actually two different systems, and based on the experience of my previous life, I have known for many years that many carpenters are only specialized in this one, and do not know much about the work of masons.

After all, carpenters generally don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, just stay in the carpentry room and work.

Masons are destined to have to go to the construction site, so people with these two crafts will basically prefer carpentry.

Of course, before the War of Resistance and the War of Liberation, and recently it was the era after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and craftsmen could only choose to follow the development of the times.

After many years of surprise, I handed over the task of customizing the downstairs wardrobe to the two masters.

When Wang Changyuan and Zhong Zhenbiao heard this, they were immediately disappointed.

"That, Comrade Xu, don't you need to customize the doors and windows, wardrobes, tables, and beds of your house?" ….

The former asked expectantly.

"You don't need these, you can just customize the wardrobe on the floor."

Hearing the words that had been reconfirmed for many years, Zhong Zhenbiao hurriedly asked flatteringly:

"Well, let me ask you more, where are you going to buy these doors and windows?"

"I don't need you to care about this, I'll solve it when the time comes"

About these pieces of furniture, many years can be solved on their own, without the need to buy a new one.

Doors and windows these needless to say, the bed must be to buy those old beds, this era has a lot of super good quality rosewood, golden silk nanmu, small red sandalwood and so on made of heirloom like bed.

Of course, it will take time to find out for many years.

I didn't look for it before, because there was no place to put it at home, and now that the house is almost remodeled, it's time.

Not to mention the disappointed Wang Changchang, they returned to the front yard kitchen for many years to help dig a well.

The well in the kitchen is currently less than ten meters.

In the fifties, the groundwater in the capital was about five meters deep below the surface, which is the average depth.

After the turn of the millennium, the average depth of groundwater in Beijing was about 49 meters, a huge difference.

At present, the depth of the courtyard on the side of Nanluoguxiang is about ten meters, and the well dug at the door of the ear room last time is about ten meters.

According to this experience, the kitchen side should be dug at least 10 meters.

Of course, it is not possible to generalize.

Although the difference is not very far, the depth of the groundwater is not necessarily.

The main reason is that although Nanluoguxiang is close to Beihai and other waters, it is difficult to predict the groundwater.

For many years, it doesn't matter whether the groundwater is deep or shallow, it's just a matter of digging a few more meters.

After a while, Lao Xu and they came back from work, and the father and son dug the well together, and the work progress was much faster.

The eldest and second are the most motivated, because they want to end the work at home as soon as possible, so that they can take over the work of the first uncle and earn money!

When digging the well, the second uncle came in again, and in front of Lao Xu's father and son, he told him about digging the well.

This job is very simple, just like an uncle, eight yuan contractor, and the materials are solved by Liu Haizhong himself.

Since this is the case, many years and Lao Xu did not stop it anymore, and the eldest and second children suddenly smiled happily and said thank you to the bangs.

As soon as the second uncle left, Yi Zhonghai also came in.

"Lao Xu, that's the case, Lao Yan found me, hoping that I could hand over the work of digging the well to their father and son, but you know ......"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai spoke, Lao Xu's family knew what the situation was.

There are moths again, but Yi Zhonghai is just here to show his presence and show his attitude.

It's very simple, digging wells, some people rush to do it.

He didn't want to hand over the task of digging a well to Yan Bugui's father and son, let alone ask for a price reduction, it purely explained his attitude.

For many years, I didn't say anything about it, and I loved it.

But his eldest brother and second brother were startled, and after Yi Zhonghai left, the speed of work was much faster. ….

Immediately, not long after, Yan Jiecheng walked in.

"Uncle Xu, can I work with Brother Da Nian and them?"

Squirmed, but this time I finally knew how to call people.

However, without waiting for Lao Xu to speak, many years asked with a smile:

"Yes, free labor, why not?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Jiecheng's face changed greatly, damn, who wants to be a free laborer?

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's flushed face, Lao Xu and them were happy.

"That, I heard that Uncle Yi didn't give Brother Da Nian eight yuan for digging a well, I'm not greedy, just share me with two yuan."

After Yan Jiecheng said this, he seemed to feel that his face was burning badly.

Then he hurriedly said that he was very diligent in his work, and he could work all day during the day.

In order to make money, he also gave up.

Uncle Yi didn't agree to his request to cut off his beard, and he himself understood that it was because the automatic pumping pump for many years made Uncle Yi throw a rat trap.

However, he is now very poor, very short of money, and it is still difficult to find a job outside.

If you carry sandbags, a bag is only two cents, and it is very good to earn a few cents a day.

And his body is not suitable for doing that kind of physical work, and his recent exercise is still three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, not because his body is not very good.

In addition, the willpower is still very average, I can't get up in the morning, it's too sunny during the day, and I don't want to go out in the evening because it's cool.

Lao Xu shook his head, "Xiao Yan, my eldest and second child work very hard, so I don't need your help, your father doesn't often go fishing, you can learn it." ”

With such a clear refusal, Yan Jiecheng was immediately depressed.

The courage that was mustered up, after being rejected, also dissipated in an instant.

Leaving Lao Xu's house in a gloomy way, when he came out, he himself forgot because his brain was confused.

What else can you do to make money?

Waiting for him to leave, Xu Danian snorted disdainfully, if you have no strength, the lazy guy still wants to rob me? Cut!

"How much better can you be yourself?" Lao Xu glared angrily, and Xu Danian suddenly fell silent.

For many years, I smiled, didn't squeak, and continued to work.

In this family, Lao Xu is the authority, but the sons will occasionally have convulsions to provoke the majesty of the head of Lao Xu's family.

For example, the previous separation.

Not long after the boss married Hu Meifeng, the matter of separating the family was put on the agenda.

However, Lao Xu didn't want to split up, firstly, he and Xu Wumei were still very young at that time, and secondly, there was not much money in the family at all.

In addition, the second child was also old enough to start a family at that time, and he had to use money everywhere.

But the second child didn't have a job at the time, and if he wanted to start a family, how easy was it?

Later, he borrowed money to buy a vacancy in a rolling mill, and the second child said a family matter.

However, because of the borrowed money, the family's finances became even tighter, and the separation of the family was delayed again and again.

Lao Xu's idea is very simple, he wants to be fair and try to take care of every child fairly.

Every time he thinks of the five children before, Lao Xu feels very uncomfortable.

The next day, many years today, I got up earlier, because today I had to go to the pigeon market. ….

The twenty-three big black picks that were exchanged for $100 before can come in handy.

Dongzhimen Pigeon Market is still as deserted as before, and it is not very popular.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, an old man walked in with a basket on his back.

Looking at the other party's wet trousers and straw sandals, which were stained with a lot of mud, I suddenly felt strange for many years.

This old man, he must have just come out of the field, right?

There is not much fog in the city, and it is only in the mountains and fields, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the wet trouser legs of the old man.

When they saw the old man, several people swarmed up, obviously knowing that the old man had good goods in his hands.

In the pigeon market, this is not usually the case, after all, so many people get together and it is easy to get into disputes.

Anyway, it's the first time I've seen this situation after so many years.

Therefore, he didn't hold back and bullied himself to join in the fun.

Sure enough, the basket behind the old man was placed on the ground, revealing the good things inside.

It also carries earthy ginseng, a few herbs that I have not understood for many years, dried wild boar, wet shiitake mushrooms, and three tender bamboo shoots.

It looks cluttered, but it's all good.

Seriously, after seeing these things for many years, my heart was moved.

Although I don't really understand why the old man didn't take those bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms and other things directly to the vegetable market, but to the pigeon market.

But for many years, he said that he wanted these things.

"Comrade, how can this be sold with ginseng? I think it should be decades old ginseng, no more than 50 years old, how about five dollars a piece? ”

"Sell me these herbs, I'll take five cents."

"I want this wild boar, it's almost seventy pounds here, right? According to the price of two cents and five cents a pound, I received seventeen yuan and five cents, how about it? ”

Several people gossiped and picked what they wanted.

It is well established that the price of wild boar meat is not expensive.

Because wild boar meat is basically lean meat, and there is very little fat.

Plus it's bacon again, and it's not cheap to sell for two cents and five cents.

For many years, when he saw this, he spoke directly, and his speech was fast:

"This comrade, I want all the things in your basket, here are ten big black picks, let's come according to the market price, how about it?"

Swish!

Hearing the words of many years, everyone else glared at him, and even the old man looked at him with surprise on his face.

Market!

Aren't those the words before liberation?

In today's market, how can there be a so-called market?

However, in the pigeon market, it is also necessary to follow the rules of the big market outside, otherwise everyone is not profitable, why come here?

In addition to suppliers like the old man and buyers like many years, the people who wander in the pigeon market are more second-class dealers.

The reason why there are few people in the current pigeon market is because this year is 1958, and whether it is in the city or outside the city, everyone is actually not very short of food.

Even, in rural areas, they have only started to eat big pot rice now, and some remote or mountainous places have not yet started to eat big pot rice.

At this time, there was still money in the commune, and there was still surplus food.

In addition, the management of other vegetable markets and other places is not very strict, and the control of grain and oil is still very loose.

Therefore, there are very few people who come to the pigeon market.

Unless you are a person with a mouth and a bold heart like many years, you will come to the pigeon market to take risks.

Otherwise, the average person is reluctant to come, or they don't know about the existence of the pigeon market.

Based on these willingness, there are few second-tier dealers, and the competition is naturally not too fierce.

It's just that today suddenly appeared for many years, which directly made the second-level dealers stop the fire.

There's no way, people have already taken out ten big black pieces for many years and picked them up, what else can they do?

If you really have to buy it at the market price for many years, they won't be able to make money at all.

If you don't make money, they won't want it.

Seeing them retreat, many years suddenly smiled, and the old man began to weigh his goods.
