As soon as Liu Hua saw Xu Qiang's attitude being so tough, the uncle who stood up to speak for him was also choked back, and understood that there was no room for turning things around, so he could only unload the camphor wood box from the board car, put down two more yuan, and pulled the low cabinet away.

Everyone saw that the courtyard was no longer lively, and they dispersed in twos and threes, but there was something wrong with the eyes of the second uncle.

The second uncle stole the chicken this time, and entered the house with a black face, and after a while, there was a scolding sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the house.

However, everyone is familiar with this movement, and only listens to it as a joke in the house, after all, the second uncle's house is a famous "father and son" in the courtyard.

The three sons, the eldest Liu Guangtian, and the second uncle are really afraid of melting in their mouths, and they are afraid of falling in their hands, and they usually don't even dare to say a heavy word.

The second Liu Guangfu and the third Liu Guangdang seemed to have been picked up from the dirt slope, and they were beaten to death in three days, beating them when they were happy and beating them when they were unhappy.

In this regard, the second uncle's explanation is: filial piety comes out under the stick!

Although everyone scoffed, after all, it was a family matter, and they didn't want to say anything, so they had to treat it as a joke.

Xu Damao helped Xu Qiang carry the camphor wood box into the house and put it away, and when he heard the movement of the second master's house, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Liu Haizhong, this old guy, is also a little more majestic at home, okay, you go to bed early, I'll go back too."

Xu Qiang nodded, sent his brother out, got hot water and washed up briefly, and then went to the back room to drill the bed.

It was not yet eight o'clock, he turned on the electric lamp, took out the golden bottle plum pressed under the pillow and began to turn the pages one by one, and after turning for a while, he felt that his mouth was dry, so he could only get off the kang and pour himself a glass of water, drink it, close the book and prepare to sleep.

As soon as the electric light was pulled, the room was dark, but Xu Qiang felt that he was getting more and more awake, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The illustration of the golden bottle plum that I had just turned over appeared in front of me little by little, and I had no choice but to pour water for myself to drink from the kang again.

Got into the quilt again, Xu Qiang couldn't help but sigh, it seems that he has to find a daughter-in-law quickly, otherwise this long night will be difficult!

It's just that in this year, he has a big brother on his head, and the eldest brother is definitely not good for him to be a younger brother if he doesn't marry a daughter-in-law, and he must solve Xu Damao's personal problems first.

The chaotic thoughts in his mind drifted for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, and when Xu Qiang woke up, the room was dark, and he didn't know what time it was.

He got up and pulled back the thick curtain to look outside, and it was bright, but he had slept so early last night, and now he was no longer sleepy.

Coming out of the quilt, he poked twice with a pillar of fire, and saw that the inside of the stove began to redden, so he quickly put on cotton clothes and pants, packed up the bed, opened the curtains, and came out of the outhouse to look at the table of the eight immortals.

"Phew!"

The old clock on the table of the Eight Immortals was exactly six o'clock, Xu Qiang sighed, if this was changed to the next generation, he would not believe that he would get up at six o'clock.

It was freezing outside, and he didn't want to go out, so he lit the stove first, and then took a big iron kettle from the stove in the back room, poured warm water for the washbasin, and began to wash.

The fire on the stove in the inner room was not extinguished all night, and the water in the iron kettle was not cold, just for washing.

After washing his face, getting dressed, cleaning up, straightening himself up, and then going to see the Eight Immortals Table.

Definitely, it's less than seven o'clock!

Xu Qiang pondered that he wanted to buy himself a watch, otherwise he would always be confused and didn't know what time it was, which would be too inconvenient.

It's just that the supply and marketing cooperatives want watch tickets, and he definitely doesn't have them, so he should go to the thrift market to have a look.

Although the things there are all used, they are cheap, and they don't need tickets, and they have everything.

The stomach was empty, Xu Qiang didn't want to cook, so he simply gave himself two poached eggs to eat, and then put on a mat when he went out to the alley.

Waiting for the sun to show his head slightly, Xu Qiang finally couldn't hold back and opened the door to go outside to solve major life events.

However, this point is all with an inverted spittoon, Xu Qiang frowned and went to the public toilet in the alley, and found that there was a queue at the door of the public toilet!

It's really, so inconvenient!

Gai Ming'er must build a toilet in his own house, by the way, bring in the water, so he doesn't have to go to the yard to fetch water every time he washes.

In fact, when the courtyard was originally supplied with water, it was possible to enter the house, but the public only managed to go to the yard, and the household needed to spend their own money, and most people couldn't even fill their stomachs, so how could they spend this spare money.

Second, every household is crowded and small, there is no kitchen in the house, and there is no suitable place to settle the water into the house, which is even more troublesome.

Therefore, more than a dozen households in the entire courtyard house also have tap water from the house, and an aunt does not need to go to the yard to receive water when washing pots, cooking and washing clothes.

After queuing up to solve his personal problem, Xu Qiang went back and put on a locomotive cotton hat and gloves, and rode out on a bicycle.

I went to the alley and bought two buns to deal with, and soon went to the rolling mill to find the section chief, the Jiang family wanted a lot of things, and he naturally couldn't take them back to the yard.

After thinking about it for the past two days, he hit the idea of going to the warehouse of the rolling mill, if he remembered correctly, their material department had a small warehouse near here, but the department couldn't get too many supplies, so it was always empty.

Seeing that the end of the month is coming, there is no one in the material department, and Section Chief Sun was a little surprised when he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he saw that it was Xu Qiang, he was even more surprised.

"Section Chief, you're early!"

Xu Qiang entered Section Chief Sun's office with a hippie smile and put the cloth pocket in his hand on the table.

When Section Chief Sun saw this kid smiling obscenely, he knew that it was nothing good, so he glared at him angrily and asked:

"What's the matter, how do you remember to come to work today?"

"Hehe, this is not the New Year, do you stammer with the leader as soon as possible, so that the leader can deepen my impression of me?"

Xu Qiang was not polite when he entered the section chief's office, took two cups by himself, and carried a thermos to pour a glass of water for the section chief, and then a glass for himself.

"Okay, since it's okay, I'm still busy here, the leader is also stuttering, and the impression has deepened, you can go back!"

Section Chief Sun took a sip of water from the cup and glanced at Xu Qiang with slanted eyes.

"Don't, don't, section chief, isn't this something I want you to help me with?" Xu Qiang hurriedly laughed and pushed the cloth pocket in front of Section Chief Sun:

"A few days ago, my brother asked me to get some October oranges, and I ate a few and thought it tasted good, so I thought I would bring some for Wen Jie and Wen Li to let them taste."

Xu Qiang knew that Section Chief Sun was a person, and under normal circumstances, as long as he could complete the task, he would not embarrass people, so the people below generally did not send things.

Therefore, he didn't say it to the section chief, only said that it was for Wen Jie and Wen Li, my brother has some good things for my younger brothers and sisters to taste, even if it's the section chief, you can't say anything, right?

It's not for you, it's just for you to help bring it back!

Section Chief Sun glanced at Xu Qiang, didn't say yes or no, just asked with a stiff face, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Qiang also put away the smile on his face, and said, "Section Chief, I remember if we have a small warehouse in the department, I want to borrow it for two or three days." ”
