Chapter 54: Not a Good Bird, Into the City
This is also because the other party came to the door first, and she wanted others to know that her son Fang Yuan was not a troublemaker, if he wanted to make trouble, at least someone else would provoke him first, and he would cause trouble.
"Sister Wang, I think this matter will be forgotten!" a neighbor stood up and said.
"Yes, Sister Wang, he beat Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan has beaten him now, forget it. ”
These neighbors are really, they all looked lively just now, and now they have all come out to be good people, Fang Yuan is not used to seeing this the most.
But he also knew that it was best for this matter to end like this.
Fang Yuan is not a troublemaker, but he is definitely not afraid of things, you don't mess with him, no matter what you do to anger people, it has nothing to do with him.
But you're going to mess with him, I'm sorry, don't want to have a good life in the future, don't just forget it because of this matter, how can there be such a good thing.
Fang Yuan just didn't want to involve his family, he would solve it himself in the future.
The family courtyard of the woolen mill is not like the kind of miscellaneous courtyard in the city, and those miscellaneous courtyards in the city, each compound has one or several people.
The people who live here are all workers, and the people who want to talk are also the leaders of the factory, but those leaders will not come out to take care of this kind of.
Under everyone's persuasion, this matter is over, and there is no mention of clothes from beginning to end, and it is estimated that after this incident, a few other guys will not come to the door again.
"Let's go, go in and eat. After everyone left, my mother said.
"Oh!"
As soon as she entered the house, the second sister's family pulled Fang Yuan and said, "I said junior brother, you can! If you don't cause trouble for three days, it's a big deal." ”
"I don't want to! Fang Yuan spread his hands, looking very innocent.
"You're not a good bird either. Mom patted Fang Yuan's head and said.
Fang Yuan laughed twice, but did not refute, because what his mother said was too right, not only was he not a good bird, but he was also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
After eating, the eldest sister went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Yuan walked up to his mother and said, "Mom, I'm going to the city tomorrow." ”
"Why are you going to the city?" asked the old mother as she looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously.
"I want to buy some books and study materials. ”
"Who are you going with?" "Mom wanted to go with someone else because Fang Yuan.
"Myself. ”
"What! yourself?" said Mom, who almost didn't jump.
"That's right, the principal has already given me a letter of introduction, you can take a look. Fang Yuan hurriedly took out the letter of introduction.
"That's not going to work, you can't go alone. My mother read the letter of introduction and put it on the table.
"Mom, it's okay, it's not like I haven't been to the city, besides, I walked from Central Plains Province to the imperial capital, and I haven't encountered any kind of things, so you don't need to worry about it at all. ”
"Absolutely not, it was before, and it is now. ”
"Mom, what do you say? I'm going to do business, you can't ask for leave to go with me, can you?"
After saying this, Fang Yuan wanted to give himself a mouthful, he seemed to have forgotten his current status in this family.
Sure enough, after listening to him, my mother said: "This is a way, in this way, wait for me to ask for a leave of absence from the factory, and then accompany you." ”
"Oh, no, Mom, are you really going?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Fang Yuan hurriedly shook his head, he didn't dare to say anything more now.
It seemed that there was only a way to use a method that was not a solution, Fang Yuan secretly sighed in his heart, and went into the room with the letter of introduction.
There are two rooms in the house, the outside is the living room and the kitchen, and the only one inside is the bedroom.
Although Fang Yuan was an eight-year-old physically, he was already in his forties, and it was inconvenient to live with a bunch of women, even if these women were now his mother and sister.
But there is no way, for now, he still has to live here, otherwise he will have nowhere to go!
The next morning, after his mother and sister went to work, and after the second and third sisters went to school, Fang Yuan wrote a note and left.
This is what he said he couldn't do, he couldn't really let his mother ask for leave to accompany him, if he really went to buy books and materials, it's okay, the problem is not!
In the past, when I went to the city, Fang Yuan walked to it, but now it is different, and you can go directly by bus.
Fang Yuan first came to Qinghe Street, and then ran to the bus station at the east end of the street, from where all the cars were passing cars.
It was the bus from Changping to the city, and after waiting for more than half an hour, a dilapidated beige bus drove over.
In this era, it seems that there are all such buses, and nothing else, even the buses and trams in the city are also this color.
The bus quickly stopped in front of Fang Yuan, the door opened, and Fang Yuan walked up, there were not many people on the bus.
Besides, it's winter, and there are even fewer people.
"Got on the bus and bought a ticket. A young female conductor shouted.
Fang Yuan hurriedly walked over and asked, "How much does it cost to get to the city?"
"Five cents. ”
"Oh! ”
The conductor took the money and tore it to Fang Yuan, who took the ticket and sat down.
Although the bus is like an old broken cow, it is much faster than walking, and in more than 40 minutes, the bus enters Desheng Gate.
After entering Desheng Gate, he also entered the city, Fang Yuan did not sit down again, but went directly down from the inner street of Desheng Gate.
Fang Yuan has been here several times, so he is not a stranger, now it is not like the next generation, maybe you have not been here for a long time, and it will be different when you come again.
At this time, even if it is three or five years, or even ten or eight years, nothing will change.
Since he came to the city, he had to prepare first, Fang Yuan went to the blacksmith shop again, this time buying more things.
Rulers, planers, saws, and cartridges or something, I don't know and think he's going to be a carpenter, but it's not much worse.
He's not going to be a carpenter, but he's going to do something.
After buying these things, Fang Yuan thought about it and bought another knife, and it was a special knife, with Fang Yuan drawing, the blacksmith master helped to fight, and discussed that he would come tomorrow to get it, and Fang Yuan left.
Of course, it's just that the knife will be picked up tomorrow, and he will take everything else, and even the money for the knife has been paid in advance.
There's no way, the city is not like the Qinghe side, on the Qinghe side, you can fight first, and then give money after you get it, but not in the city, you must give money first, otherwise people won't give you a beat.
Holding a bunch of things, Fang Yuan found a particularly remote place, put these things into the space, and then circled around with his empty hands and came out again.
The first priority is to find a place to live before you can do what you want to do.
The Red Star Hotel, just north of Deshengmennei Street, is a state-run hotel, and it seems that there are no private hotels at this time.
The staff member was a middle-aged woman who frowned when she saw Fang Yuan coming in, and asked, "Child, what's the matter with you?"
"Hello Auntie, I'm staying at the hotel. ”
"Staying in the hotel?" the middle-aged woman looked at Fang Yuan and did not speak.
Fang Yuan quickly came over, and hurriedly took out the letter of introduction and handed it over and said, "Auntie, give you a letter of introduction." ”
The middle-aged woman took the letter of introduction suspiciously, looked at it, and said, "It turns out that I am a student! ”
"Yes. Fang Yuan nodded.
"Do you live in a bunk or a dormant room?"
Tongpu is a room and a shop, but it is similar to the kang, there can be a lot of people on it, and there are many people who are small, mainly because there are not many people who live in the store.
Sometimes there are five or six people, sometimes there are about ten people, anyway, if there are more people, they will live more, and if there are fewer people, they will live less.
There is that kind of bunk bed in a multi-person room, don't think that there is a bunk bed in a room, it's not like that at all, a room is at least three bunk beds.
There are some relatively large rooms, and even five or six bunk beds, if they are all adults, it is better, if there are children in the room, the whole room does not want to sleep well.
Because there are a lot of people, don't mention the smell in the room, you can say that there is any smell, there is no way, the sanitary conditions of this era are like this.
"Auntie, are there no private rooms?"
"A private room?"
"Yes, single room. Fang Yuan nodded again.
"Yes, but it's expensive, five cents a night. ”
"No problem, I just want a single room. ”
The single rooms are some relatively small rooms, and they can't live a few people in a bunk, and it's the same for a multi-person room, so they are made into a single room.
It only costs one dime a night to live in a shop, a multi-person room is a dime and a half, and a single room is five cents, which is equivalent to the price of five people in a shop.
"How many days?"
"How many days will you stay?" Fang Yuan was also stunned for a moment, because he didn't know how many days he was going to stay.
If it goes well, it will take about a week, and if it doesn't go well, it may take ten days and half a month, or even longer.
"That's it, Auntie, I'll give you five yuan first, because I don't know how long I'll stay, and when the time comes, I'll refund more and make up for less. ”
"yes! ”
Fang Yuan hurriedly took out five yuan and handed it over, five yuan was nothing to Fang Yuan.
The staff took the money, opened a ticket, and handed it to Fang Yuan along with the letter of introduction and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the room." ”
"Okay. ”
Soon the staff took Fang Yuan to a room, took out the key to open the door, pushed the door open and said to Fang Yuan, "How about you look here?"
Fang Yuan went in and took a look, the room was very small, there was only a small aisle left after putting down a single bed, there was a small table at the head of the single bed, and there was a handwashing stand, and there was nothing else.
"Okay, that's it. ”
"Okay, by the way, you can go and bring a pot of boiling water later, forget it, I'll bring it to you." ”
I don't know if it was because Fang Yuan was young or because he was afraid that he would hit the boiling water bottle, the staff actually wanted to help him carry boiling water.
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
"You're welcome. ”
After the staff left, Fang Yuan picked up the broom and swept the floor, just after he finished sweeping the floor, the staff came over with a pot of boiling water.
