Chapter 14: The Rain Returns

Leaving the material department, Xu Qiang happily rode a brand-new 28 bar out of the door, and it happened that Xu Zhijie and Liu Hua were on duty today.

Xu Qiang deliberately pinched the brakes to stop the bike, turned his head to look at Liu Hua and asked lightly:

"Liu Hua, when will you return my low cabinet and camphor wood box? I'm waiting to use it! ”

As soon as Liu Hua heard Xu Qiang mention this stubble again, his already ugly face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of the pot, and he said with a fierce face:

"Roll the calf, when did Lao Tzu borrow your low cabinet and camphor wood box?"

As soon as Xu Qiang heard him say this, he immediately frowned, and said with a sneer:

"What's the matter, you're turning your face and not recognizing people?"

"I'm sorry, you said that Lao Tzu took your things, is there any evidence?"

Liu Hua looked impatient, and wanted to take it back when it came to the things in his hand?

I want to eat it!

Xu Qiang was angry, and lent two large items to Liu Hua, but the idiot of the original owner didn't even write an IOU, which was really ......

"Cheng, you kid will wait for me, and you will come to the door in person to beg Lao Tzu to take things back after this year."

Dropping a sentence hard, Xu Qiang nodded at Xu Zhijie, who was standing on the side without speaking, and ran away with a pedal.

"I'll just wait here and see what tricks you can play!"

Liu Hua stared at Xu Qiang's back as he left, and spat on the ground.

Xu Qiang rode a bicycle and attracted a lot of people's attention along the way, so he just got on the bike and walked around.

He hasn't had time to go around since he came to this era.

This is an era when the whole people are working hard to build the motherland, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street are carrying small cloth bags and don't know what they are talking about, and they can hear the sound of laughter from time to time.

Occasionally, you can see a public-private joint venture restaurant on the street, but it is empty and there is no one inside.

On both sides of the street were low-slung buildings, with telephone poles standing upright in front of and behind the houses, and the happiest were the children, chasing and playing, carefree, and the laughter spread far and wide.

Xu Qiang rode his bicycle along the street slowly, and the sun came out today, so it was a little warmer.

However, this is relative to passers-by, Xu Qiang rode a bicycle at a fast speed, not to mention that he didn't even wear a glove, and his hands were almost unconscious.

It didn't take long to walk around and turn back to the courtyard, and as soon as he pushed the bicycle into the front yard, he saw Yan Jiecheng greeting him at the door:

"Hadron, Hadron, come quickly."

Xu Qiang's heart jumped, could it be that the third master is back?

Stopping the bicycle and setting up the ladder, he followed Yan Jiecheng into the house of the third master, and the third master was indeed at home.

Moreover, the kang table was all set up, and the three masters were sitting down to drink water around the kang table, and when they saw Xu Qiang coming in, they immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Xu Qiang is here, hurry up and sit!"

The three mothers also hurriedly carried a thermos to pour water for him and beckoned him to sit on the kang.

Xu Qiang was also polite, knowing that the third master was going to ask carefully about the apprenticeship, and he also took off his shoes and sat on the kang.

"Qiangzi, Xie Cheng came back and told your three mothers about this matter, and your three mothers thought it was a big deal, so they went to the school to call me."

While speaking, the third master observed Xu Qiang's expression:

"What you told Qiangzi is that your brother is going to take in an apprentice?"

Xu Qiang nodded, and did not hide it: "My brother has also been working in the propaganda department of the factory for a lot of time, don't you want to go up again?" ”

He was also thinking that instead of letting the boss transfer another film projectionist, it would be better to pick an apprentice himself, at least without bothering the leader.

The eyes of the three masters suddenly emitted a fine light: "Then let your three mothers prepare, and your brothers will come to dinner tomorrow afternoon." ”

thought that he would be able to leave when he was done, but the third master grabbed him again and asked tentatively:

"I heard you gave your brother a whole box of oranges? How much? Is there anything else? ”

When Xu Qiang heard this, he immediately smiled, knowing that the third master must also want to move around at the end of the year.

So he nodded and said: "My brother asked for five catties of October oranges, and the things in Guangxi taste very good, and my brother gave me twenty yuan." ”

As soon as the third master heard twenty yuan, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his monthly salary was only 22 yuan 5, and five catties of oranges were twenty yuan, what did their family eat this month when they bought oranges?

Xu Qiang knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw the expression of the third master, and immediately said:

"Three masters, we are all in the same courtyard, if you want me, I will give you five yuan cheaper, fifteen yuan and five catties, not to mention how much the road fee from Guangxi to this side is, the loss along the way is too great, and people will not give it to me if it is cheap."

Coming out of the house of the third master, Xu Qiang pushed his bicycle into the middle courtyard, and happened to meet a big girl coming out of the room next to Silly Zhu.

Wearing a blue cloth jacket, black cotton pants, two braids, melon seed face, big eyes, thin lips, and a typical snake face in later generations, however, in this era, it is considered to be bless and not beautiful.

"Eh, the rain is back?"

Xu Qiang smiled and said hello.

He Yushui is the younger sister of Silly Zhu, and her academic performance is very good, and she heard that she will stay in school to teach in the last semester after the year.

"Hey, Xu Qiang, can you do this, you have a bicycle?"

He Yushui stopped and responded with a smile, and when he saw Xu Qiang pushing a brand-new 28 bar, a trace of surprise flashed on his face.

"Hey, how can I afford this thing, we have it in the department, let it be used in the countryside!"

Xu Qiang said casually, pushed the bicycle and continued to walk to the backyard, he remembered that He Yushui was married to a film policeman in the original play, and he rarely went back to the courtyard after getting married.

If you want to say that this courtyard is full of beasts, isn't there a normal person?

There really is, the only normal person in the courtyard is He Yushui, he is very shrewd, he knows what he wants, and his last life is not bad.

After entering the backyard, Xu Qiang pushed the bicycle to the door and stopped, opened the door and entered the house by himself, and a warmth came to his face.

He first went to the stove and saw that the fire was gone, and then he went to the stove in the back room, and the fire was almost gone.

Rubbing his hands, he went to Xu Damao's house to get firewood and coal, and lit the two fires in front and back, thinking that he would buy some firewood tomorrow.

Glancing at the clock standing on the table of the Eight Immortals, it was already past four o'clock, Xu Qiang simply rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.

I took an enamel basin and scooped out two bowls of Erhe noodles in the low cabinet next to the stove, ready to eat a meal of oily noodles.

For no other reason, this one is simple and no need to stir-fry.

Soon, a ball of yellow-orange-orange dough was reconciled, Xu Qiang covered the basin to wake up for a while, took the enamel jar, carried the newly bought hot water kettle, poured the hot water in the pot into a thermos, and added another piece of coal.

Peeled some garlic and chopped it into garlic paste, and took the red pepper and chopped it for later use.

The oily noodles are eaten with a strong heart, and the noodles are delicious when they are cooked out.

Soon, the noodles with little finger width are out of the pot, cover the pot, light the water three times, and get out of the pot!

Put the noodles in a large bowl, put the garlic paste and crushed chili peppers on top, pour a spoonful of hot oil down, and the oil splashes the noodles with a "sting" sound.

Xu Qiang added salt and soy sauce again, took chopsticks and mixed them, and began to snort first.
