"What?"

Xu Qiang sat up straight all of a sudden: "There is still a name engraved in the cabinet?" How did I not know? ”

Xu Damao glanced at him, and the expression on his face was clearly saying, "What did you know before besides eating and drinking?" ”

Xu Qiang immediately smiled, raised his head and touched his head, although he didn't want to take the blame for the original owner, but he seemed to be involuntarily.

"Will I be able to get the box a year ago?"

"Don't worry, just this week, the Sun thief will send you back!"

Xu Damao said triumphantly, when Liu Hua borrowed a low cabinet and a camphor wood box, he also quarreled with Xu Qiang, and when Liu Hua stood on the side to watch a good show, he remembered it clearly.

Now, Qiangzi has finally opened his mind, and he wants to see how Liu Hua, a bastard, died!

The two brothers talked for a while, Xu Damao went back to the house, Xu Qiang also got up and first extinguished the fire on the stove, went into the inner room, and pressed some charcoal foam into the stove, so as not to freeze in the middle of the night.

With a new quilt and a stove, Xu Qiang finally stopped being cold, nested in the quilt all night without saying anything, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, he woke up naturally from sleep, and when he got up to go to the yard, he found that the old men had gone to work, and there was only a group of old ladies and children working inside and out.

Aunt Jiang was coming out of the door, holding a small iron dustpan in her hand, obviously just finished sweeping the floor, and when she saw Xu Qiang going out, she immediately smiled and said:

"Oh, Qiangzi, you're not going to work today?"

Xu Qiang smiled: "Aunt Jiang, our materials department doesn't have to work every day, as long as we hand in a certain amount of materials every month." ”

"Oh, this job is good, it's light, and it can make money, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you come to Auntie's house to deal with it? ”

Aunt Jiang spoke, raised her head and subconsciously glanced at Xu Qiang, when the old man came back last night, she told everything about it, she felt that this kid must be lying.

"No, I still have something to do today, I can go out and deal with it."

Xu Qiang naturally saw that Aunt Jiang didn't trust him, but he didn't care, who made the original owner too unsuccessful?

When Aunt Jiang heard him say that something was wrong, the smile on her face suddenly became a little sincere, could it be that she went to their house in the morning?

"Hey, then you're busy first!" Aunt Jiang said with a smile, and took out the garbage with a small iron dustpan.

Xu Qiang didn't have the habit of using a spittoon, so he got up and went to the toilet outside, and then returned to fetch water to wash, and it was already ten o'clock after a toss.

He was not in a hurry, put on a newly bought blue cloth cotton jacket, put on a locomotive hat, the brim of the hat hung down to cover his ears, put on cotton gloves, and pushed his bicycle out of the door with his neck cured.

In this era, the winter in the north is not ordinarily cold!

The bun shop at the mouth of the alley bought three large meat buns, a bowl of soy milk, snorted a few bites, wiped his mouth, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Today he is going to buy some cloth, buy some cotton, buy some firewood, coal, and some chicken and dog bits and pieces, which look inconspicuous, but living at home, it is really not good.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I didn't see Zhou Lili at a glance, so I asked the old man with a steel seal at the door:

"Hello comrade, bother to ask Zhou Lili if she didn't come to work today?"

Behind the counter, a few old ladies with five ridges and six beasts chattering and cooing heard "Zhou Lili", and the three of them raised their heads and looked at Xu Qiang, and the fire of gossip in their eyes was burning.

"Who are you?"

Lao Li raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Qiang, in these years, he has to make a steel seal when he buys a bicycle, which is the same as the license plate of a car in later generations.

Lao Li Tou made a steel seal at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked for another five cents, of course, if it is not too troublesome, he can go to the vehicle management office to make a steel seal, as long as he pays two cents.

However, Lao Li Tou's business is good, after all, people in this year can afford to buy a bicycle for one hundred and seventy-eight, and they don't care about the five cents, except for the three masters.

"Hello comrade, my name is Xu Qiang, I work in the materials department of the rolling mill, I am Zhou Lili's classmate, I am looking for her to buy something."

Xu Qiang said a word in a decent manner, Lao Li Tou glanced at him again, and saw that he was dressed cleanly, and he looked like a bad person, so he immediately said:

"Zhou Lili asked for leave today, but it's coming soon, you can wait a while."

"Hey, I see, thank you!" Xu Qiang responded, entered the supply and marketing cooperative, and began to wander around, there are really a lot of things, but the quality is not very good.

After a while, Zhou Lili came, and at a glance, she saw Xu Qiang who was wandering around the counter, and asked with a look of surprise:

"Hey, Xu Qiang, why are you here?"

Xu Qiang turned his head and saw Zhou Lili coming, he immediately laughed, and said as he walked towards her: "Aren't you here to see the old classmate?" ”

When the nagging old ladies heard Xu Qiang say this, they immediately looked up at him again, and the fire of gossip that had just been extinguished was burning again.

"I haven't slipped away, I still have something to do today, if you want to buy anything, hurry up!"

Zhou Lili glared at Xu Qiang, entered the counter quickly, and took off the newly bought tweed coat.

Xu Qiang no longer joked, and said directly: "I want to buy two zhang cloth, three catties of cotton, firewood, charcoal, and some gadgets, ashtrays, chopstick baskets, and two spoons, a grate, a tweezer, and two rags." ”

Zhou Lili didn't ask much, quickly took out all the things and packed them, and issued a ticket for Xu Qiang to pay the money.

"Hey, this Sunday reunion of our class, are you going?"

When Xu Qiang finished paying the money and came to pick up his things, Zhou Lili looked up and asked him while walking outside from the counter.

"Class reunion? Who are they? Xu Qiang was a little curious, and the memories of his junior high school classmates began to come to his mind little by little.

"Hey, who else can there be, just those few, Feng Qixiang, now working at Sanliang Station, Wang Dabao working at the District Youth League Committee, Hao Yanhong working as a nurse in the People's Hospital, and Lin Xiaofeng working at the Meat Factory, how about it, do you want to go?"

Xu Qiang did not hesitate at all, and directly nodded and agreed, regardless of whether the relationship was good before, just listening to this work unit knew that they were all "second generation officials".

"Cheng, then gather at the gate of Shichahai Park at ten o'clock in the morning on Sunday, don't be late!"

Zhou Lili said as she put on the tweed coat she had just taken off, and helped Xu Qiang walk outside with three catties of cotton:

"I have something to do, so I won't tell you more, let's talk slowly on Sunday."

As she spoke, Zhou Lili walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, helped Xu Qiang put three catties of cotton on the back seat of the bicycle, and hurried away with a hello.

Xu Qiang tied up his things, got on his bicycle and went directly to the rolling mill, this time he went to the library to borrow a few books to pass the time.

As a large factory of 10,000 people, the rolling mill has all kinds of living facilities such as libraries, hospitals, schools, clubs, and guest houses.

I went to the rolling mill, and before I got to the door, I saw a figure rushing towards me from a distance, and said with a curse in his mouth:

"Xu Qiang, you are a king, why the hell did you go to the police station to sue Lao Tzu? I can't kill you brute! ”

It was Liu Hua who spoke, not long after he got to work this morning, he was called to the office by Section Chief Tang and scolded him, his face was inexplicable, and he didn't know what mistake he had made.

When I cautiously asked to understand, I found out that it was a call from the police station, saying that Xu Qiang's family had lost a camphor wood box and a low cabinet, and it was suspected that Liu Hua from the security department of the rolling mill had stolen it, and asked them to solve it internally.

Section Chief Tang is also angry, thanks to his familiarity with the director of the police station, the other party called him to solve it privately, if it is really big, then how will he see people in the future with this old face?

The security guard of the security department of the rolling mill, who went to the house of the employees of the mill to steal things?
