Men and women eating in the courtyard

The current training and slogans are the methods that Li Xuewu learned from later generations and slowly penetrated into the current training methods. The influence is built up step by step, bit by bit.

"Let's go, I'll wait a little longer and the logistics team will get off work."

Li Xuewu took the lead out of the door, followed by a group of young men wearing patches. They were walking in scattered directions, three in front and two in the back. Li Xuewu glared at him, and then lined up under Han Zhan's command. Two columns formed and moved forward along the roadside.

To be honest, Han Zhan is really a little afraid of Li Xuewu, especially in recent days, Li Xuewu has strictly required the escort team to conduct drills and training in accordance with the requirements of militia training. Li Xuewu, who failed to do it well, really got started.

Along the way, the workers also looked at this plainly dressed team. Although workers in the city now have a hard life, they only wear work clothes and rarely have patches.

Although the young men felt a little inferior, they all walked forward with their heads held high in the queue and followed the Korean War slogans.

When he arrived at the logistics office, Li Xuewu took out the certificate given by Sister Xie. According to the instructions, each person had one set of bedding and pillows, one set of sheets and pillow towels, one set of cotton-padded clothes, two sets of guard uniforms, an armed belt, and a cotton hat. I received a quilt, a pair of cotton shoes and a pair of yellow rubber cotton shoes, and also received some odds and ends such as a washbasin, toothbrush, and toothbrush.

This is the exclusive configuration of firefighters, escorts and security team members of the security department. Even the security unit does not have it, because the steel rolling mill needs these team members to live and eat in the factory area.

After receiving their belongings, Han Zhan took their belongings back to Han Zhan to change clothes, while Zhao Yajun, who had already received his clothes, took Li Xuewu to the kennel.

The kennels were almost finished yesterday, and after a night of heating, the two warehouses are ready for use.

Li Xuewu went in and took a look. Yesterday, the deputy section chief of the logistics department was just complaining, but he did clean up the place. Each dog has its own stall. The environment is not bad, and the den is covered with hay.

"We will train in this courtyard tomorrow. We are not allowed to go out. The dog food will also be taken from the canteen."

"I see"

"Tell Yin Qun what to do, lead him, and let him be responsible for the management of the kennel and the daily management of the police dog. You are responsible for leading the training."

"yes!"

Li Xuewu returned to the office and wrote a note for the security team to send to the Labor Insurance Branch of the Steel Rolling Plant, instructing him to make ten dog leashes and dog suits of the same specifications.

I looked at the time and saw that it was time to get off work. I packed up and went to the bicycle storage area to pick up the car. I said hello to the security guard at the door who was preparing for inspection and pushed the car out of the door.

I rode my bicycle and rushed home, just in time to catch up with Lao Biaozi and several others who were unloading waste products in the middle of the field after finishing their work.

Waste products such as iron, bottles, plastics, rubber, etc. need to be stored in separate piles. If they are books, paper or old newspapers, they need to be temporarily placed in the warehouse of the back room.

"How are you today?" Li Xuewu put the car at the door and walked over and asked.

Wen San'er was checking a few people's tricycles. When he saw Li Xuewu coming over, he didn't stop what he was doing. He rummaged around and replied: "There are no good things. I didn't receive any electrical appliances. They are all junk. What's the matter?" some"

Li Xuewu smiled and handed out cigarettes to several people and said, "What time do you think this is? Anyone who has an electrical appliance treats it like a treasure. Even if it breaks, it is left there for show."

Seeing Wen San and others with droopy heads, Li Xuewu asked, "Did you buy the maintenance tools I asked you to buy?"

"I bought it at our supply and marketing cooperative and put it in the desk drawer of our house at noon."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked his eldest grandma: "How is the harvest at home?"

The eldest grandma handed a bundle of newspapers to Shen Guodong and replied: "It's okay at home. Biaozi bought some cigarettes and candy balls, but not many children know about it. Biaozi and the others also said that they will spread the word slowly."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "That's right, take your time, don't put up signs, don't make noises, moisturize things silently, just develop a habit."

Wen San'er also nodded and said: "We are not in a hurry. I did some calculations today. The amount of waste recycled will definitely meet the requirements of the waste company. Although the profit is not much, it is not a problem to have enough to eat."

Li Xuewu handed over the food stamps and non-staple food stamps he received today to Wen Saner.

"Third uncle, if you have time, buy it for me, give it to my mother's house, put part of it in our house, and keep the cloth and other things. My daughter uses a lot of cloth, and the child will grow up quickly."

"I know, I'll go tomorrow when I have time."

“Is the vote scalping business affected?”

"This is temporary, don't worry, and I can see that I have the brains of a scholar. Today a big businessman dragged me into the room and exchanged a lot of notes with me."

"how?"

"Hey, what should I say? This quantity is enough now. As you said, as long as we can contact fifty fixed people, then we will have enough. We will eat whatever we can't eat."

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are there many large households in Dongcheng?"

When Wen San'er saw that there were no outsiders around, he whispered: "You only work in the steel rolling mill and have no contact with the outside world. We are also local rats and have never seen the sun. Today we are the rich of Dongcheng."

"Talk about it"

Wen San'er whispered: "Does Mr. Ma, who sings Peking Opera, know?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I've heard of it, that's everyone."

Wen San'er chuckled and said, "Mr. Ma, a Peking Opera actor, earns 1,700 yuan per month."

(This data is selected from "Shi Hai Gou Shen: A survey report on the "high-wage class" in 196X

》, you all know that number)

Li Xuewu suddenly paused. This was different from his understanding of this era.

"This is real?"

Wen San'er said with certainty: "Today I went to the home of a first-class actor. He said his salary was 360 yuan. He collected the pile of newspapers at his home. He didn't even ask for any money. He said he would help clean up the warehouse. That’s fine, we live in a villa.”

"Is this what he said?"

"Yes, he seems to like to show off, and he even told me about their circle."

When Li Xuewu saw that several people had finished cleaning up, he pulled Wen San'er into the back seat room.

"Tell me in detail"

Wen Saner stuffed his backpack into the drawer, sat by the kang and told Li Xuewu: "He said this is called retained salary. For example, Mr. Ma's monthly salary is 1,700 yuan, of which 1,366 yuan is reserved salary."

Li Xuewu understood what it meant to retain wages. The old society was transformed into a new society, and educated and capable people were reused. However, the wages of these people were already high. If they were lowered, the meaning of the reform would be lost, so there was reservation. Let’s talk about salary.

"That's not all. Mr. Shaochun, a Peking opera actor from Ba County, has a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan. After filming the movie "Wild Boar Forest", he received an additional 3,000 yuan in remuneration."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It seems that the wages of literary and artistic workers are high."

Wen San'er curled his lips and said, "They are not good people. There is an actor named Zhou from the Jinmen Peking Opera Troupe. His monthly salary is 750 yuan. He has two wives and raises two dogs and one cat. During difficult times, he feeds fine grains and pigs." Liver, eggs, milk, and taking the dog to the barber shop for a haircut.”

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Not to mention that, we haven't seen how people live, so we won't talk about it, but looking at it now, if you can capture them, you can eat them."

Li Xuewu came closer to Wen San'er and said: "But one thing is that we cannot let them know about us, including our address and other information. Try to hide yourself as much as possible. You can control such customers yourself. I don't trust others."

Wen San'er nodded and said, "That's what I mean too. This man looks careless, but he has a lot to say. It's me who used nice words to coax Corporal Cai Lixian."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Don't be angry or resentful. People's blessings have limits. If you use too much in the first half of your life, you should pay off the debt in the second half of your life."

When Wen Saner saw that the eldest grandma and others had finished cleaning up and went into the house to wash their hands, Wen Saner stopped talking, stood up and went out to wash their hands. He would have to reconcile with his eldest grandma at home later.

Li Xuewu stood up and walked out, passed the screen door and entered the second door. Just as he was about to go to the middle courtyard, he was intercepted by the third uncle who came out after lifting the door curtain.

The third uncle walked around the door of the house several times like a spy. When he saw Li Xuewu entering the courtyard, he rushed over.

Li Xuewu supported the third uncle who rushed over and said, "Third uncle, please wait a little longer. Why do you still want to touch porcelain?"

The third uncle smiled and replied: "What's the matter? How is that matter?"

Li Xuewu looked at the third uncle and said: "At first, they didn't want it, but I managed to steal a spot from them before settling on it. You don't have as much as other people, but I got a big favor."

The third uncle smiled happily and said: "I told you that I can definitely do it with you. OK, the third uncle will remember your kindness and come over to eat chicken when I'm free tomorrow."

Li Xuewu didn't dare to go to the third uncle's house to eat. He was embarrassed in front of so many people, so he said: "Okay, let Brother Jie Cheng go to the Personnel Department to report to Director Xie tomorrow."

Seeing that what Li Xuewu said was correct, the third uncle returned home happily.

Li Xuewu said goodbye to the third uncle and went to the middle courtyard. The lights had been turned on at Shazhu's house, and it was time to get off work.

The second aunt who was looking towards the front yard from the moon gate in the backyard ran back home in a hurry when she saw Li Xuewu coming this way.

Compared to the joy of the third uncle's family, the second uncle's family is now full of hatred.

The second aunt said to the second uncle: "Yesterday when the third uncle invited Li Xuewu, he was definitely talking about recruiting workers. Even if he asked you to go and invite him, you wouldn't go. Why can't you lose face and beg for help? Guangtian Now I am still a temporary worker, and Guangfu’s job is not yet available. What a rare opportunity this is.”

After speaking, he pointed to the door and said, "I saw it just now. Yan Laokouer went back happily. Yan Jiecheng's work must have been completed."

The second uncle glared and scolded the second aunt: "It's enough for Guangtian to have a job. Guangfu is still going to school. Why should he join a factory?"

The second aunt was not afraid of the second uncle, and retorted: "Only for those grades, it would be better to come down and join the factory as soon as possible."

"That's right, Dad, I'm not good at studying. I also want to join the security office."

The second uncle drank a small drink and glanced at Liu Guangfu's complaining eyes, and cursed: "You're not up to par, how much younger are you than Li Xuewu? Can I earn four rooms with you? I want to work." Go find it yourself, my face is not that worthless, let me go and beg a 19-year-old kid, grandma~!"

The second uncle is like a rat carrying a gun - the family is full of chaos, and his son may be able to follow him. He scolds this and that in his own house, and gives advice to the country, but no one accepts it.

But I would never dare to go out of this way to confront Li Xuewu. The second uncle was frightened twice, especially when Wei Tong asked him to take notes, even though he was talking about other people's affairs. , but when I looked at the interrogation room, I was still very timid.

Seeing Liu Guangfu muttering something there, he kicked him with a flying foot.

"Gungun, don't get in my way. If you can't read the book, go out and look for odd jobs."

The sound of the war in the second uncle's house has reached the silly column in the middle courtyard.

Li Xuewu didn't care about the chickens in the second uncle's house. They didn't have chickens.

"Brother Zhuzi, are you back?" Li Xuewu opened the curtain of Shazhu's house, opened the door and entered the house.

"Hey, brother, I just got home and I'm so tired today."

Silly Zhu was lying on the bed and sat up when he saw Li Xuewu come in.

Li Xuewu saw that Sha Zhu was a little lethargic and asked, "Then let's deal with that green sheep tomorrow."

Silly Zhu waved his hand and said: "No, it's such a big deal, I'm ready for everything."

Li Xuewu said with some embarrassment: "Look at me, I know that we have to clean up those wild things in the factory today, and we set this time in the evening. I am really busy and dizzy."

Silly Zhu had already put on his clothes and walked out with Li Xuewu. As he walked, he said: "Hey, why are we talking about this? There are several masters here today. I am responsible for killing and they are responsible for decomposing. There is nothing wrong with it." "

Now, even if Shazhu's door is still unlocked as usual, Bangge will not come in. He sees so many things in a sudden manner that Shazhu was a little uncomfortable with it at first.

Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu chatted while walking. Silly Zhu chuckled and said: "You are really good at cooking. You can still bring back such meat when you go out to work. In the past, the steel rolling mill got some meat for Li Huaide and the others to entertain. Today It’s quite lively, and the workers are excited.”

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's not that serious. Our steel rolling mill is very profitable and the workers' living standards are not low. It's not difficult to eat a meal."

Silly Zhu smiled and said: "It's not difficult, then you have to buy it and make it yourself. It's not as convenient and cheap as taking one from the canteen. You see, we'll have to grab it tomorrow."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's okay. I'll call the escort team to go on duty tomorrow in advance."

"Okay, I'll save some food for the guards tomorrow, I'm sure they'll have it."

Li Xuewu led Silly Zhu to the reverse room, and he asked Shen Guodong to fight the green sheep out of his room.

When I came out, I looked at my sister-in-law with a smile in her eyes. She was no longer as excited as she had been in the past few days, and she even talked about what happened to the green sheep given by her uncle.

Perhaps she felt that the green sheep given by Hongxing Commune was her mother's family's thanks for recruiting Li Xuewu's family into the city, so that she would not have to feel that she owed Li Xuewu any favors.

Li Xuewu didn't pick up on his sister-in-law's words. It's not interesting to be with a woman, especially his own sister-in-law. That's too bad, and it's uncomfortable to have his own brother in the middle.

Life is lived by oneself, and the road is walked by oneself. There is an old saying, the road knows the horse power, and the time will tell the people's heart.

I didn't want this favor in the first place. I made it clear last night that my sister-in-law was obsessed with favors and was cheating on me, so let her scheme.

When they arrived at the outer courtyard, Lao Biaozi and the others had already spread sacks on the ground.

The killing of pigs and the killing of livestock-type green sheep are two different things. The pig's skin needs to be shaved, and then the skin can be decomposed. This is not the case with livestock-type green sheep. You use a knife to make a circle from the back ankle and then break the skin. , blow air first and then peel.

The animal's skin is easy to peel. In a short time, Shazhu used a thin knife to cut off the entire green sheepskin.

The eldest grandma took the green sheepskin to the west courtyard, found a wooden frame, stretched out the entire leather and nailed it, letting the leather spread out, and then used a scraper to scrape off the remaining fat on the leather.

This is a tricky job. Don't use too much force, because the leather is stretched now and will break if you use force. You can only use a scraper to scrape it one by one.

Silly Zhu in the room began to unwrap the "bare" green sheep from the sack. In fact, it looked quite big, but there wasn't much meat. After removing the bones, skin, and internal organs, it was only about thirty kilograms of meat.

"Hey, the end you asked me to leave for the leader is not as big as this, so I took off more than 20 kilograms of meat."

"That's right, this thing doesn't have much meat in summer. Although it belongs to the bovine family, it's worse than sheep, let alone winter."

Shazhu divided the more than 30 kilograms of meat into half according to Li Xuewu's request, and Li Xuewu asked Erhai'er to send the meat back to his home.

"Brother Zhuzi, let's cook the whole lamb chops, braise some bones, and let's have some drinks."

Silly Zhu handed the internal organs to Lao Biaozi to clean up, while he began to chop the mutton chops.

"Hey, test me, right? I'll show you my skills today."

The last time we had a good drink, Shazhu was a little envious of their relationship and life, and wanted to have fun with Li Xuewu and the others.

This is also the reason why Li Xuewu came over as soon as he invited him tonight.

Li Xuewu also saw that Sha Zhu wanted to get closer to his brothers, especially Lao Biaozi's character who was very good at uniting people. He was originally a lazy and greedy person, and now a big chef joined the organization. Of course I am willing.

As long as you don’t have to cook for yourself, that’s fine.

These are all things that we all know well. Making friends between men is not like holding hands in the toilet. As long as you understand what it means, over time, you can get along with each other as buddies.

Li Xuewu knew what kind of person Sha Zhu was. To put it bluntly, he was a bit stunned, but he didn't have any evil intentions and was quite a trustworthy person.

As for his personal emotional issues, this is not something Li Xuewu should be involved in. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced to do so.

Er Bao'er and Lao Biaozi were left behind to help Sha Zhu in the kitchen, while he came down to the house at Wen San'er's urging. Wen San'er had already placed the multimeter, screwdriver and other tools on the table for Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu dropped the radio on the table and began to remove the casing. Once he opened it, he saw that the inside of the radio was quite clean, because at this time, everyone in the house was very precious about this thing, and they all fanned it with handkerchiefs or white silk scarves.

When he moved the outer cover to the side, he saw four resistors scattered inside the back cover. Li Xuewu picked up the circuit board and looked at it, and then compared the resistor pins. They were all about the same.

This left Li Xuewu scratching his head. He could use a multimeter to measure the resistance, or he could do the welding. It would be almost impossible if he could find the soldering feet.

At this time, Li Xuewen came into the house. After the renovation of the house, Lao Biaozi and the others moved in. Li Xuewen and Wen San'er couldn't play together, so they all said hello when they met, and they didn't usually interact with each other. , and don’t come here to the upside-down room.

Today, the sun came out in the west. When Li Xuewu saw Li Xuewen entering the house, he stood up and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Xuewen still looked the same, a little introverted, and said to Li Xuewu: "It's okay, I'm just taking a walk."

When Li Xuewu saw that his elder brother was messing with him again, he smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, you are still a heretic with me?"

Li Xuewen touched his nose and said to Li Xuewu: "I saw that you had a radio and couldn't figure it out, so I read a book. Can I show it to you?"

The emotional eldest brother saw a few of his people talking about the radio. Maybe he thought he didn't want the money and wanted to learn electrical engineering and electronics to help him repair the radio.

"Then I'll give you a try, I'm worried." After saying that, he stood up and asked his eldest brother Xuewen to sit down.

Li Xuewen took a look at the multimeter and said, "It's still made by ZY Electronic Watch Factory in Modu. It's new."

Li Xuewu sounded a little funny, wondering whether he was from Modu or ZY.

Li Xuewen couldn't feel his brother's laughter, so he poked at the radio. Wen San'er looked at it more carefully than Li Xuewu, but he couldn't understand it and was a little scratching his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that the resistor fell off. I'll try to solder it on for you."

Li Xuewen majored in physics, and this stuff was within his scope of knowledge. He had previously read books because he understood the principles and theories. The specific practice and operation required reading books, but it didn't take much trouble.

"Okay, let's not install the casing first. You can try plugging in the electricity."

Wen San'er took the plug and connected the power supply before Li Xuewu took action.

"Zi~Zi~"

"Hey! There's something going on~" Wen San'er jumped three feet high in surprise.

Li Xuewen was not affected, but turned the knob and tried to find the channel. The sound was still intermittent.

Li Xuewen asked Wen San to cut off the power again, picked up the multimeter and started checking parts one by one.

Wen San'er, who was originally very happy, now became worried again. She didn't know why she wanted to check again.

Li Xuewen tested all the parts and re-soldered all the marked ones with solder before telling Wen San to plug it in again.

Wen San'er uneasily plugged in the power, and Li Xuewen turned the knob to adjust, only to hear from the radio: "Zi~zi~ The red flag is fluttering, Zi~zi~, the hero is whipping his whip to urge the war horse, I am more like an oil worker glory"

"Hey! It's really loud. Hey, let's learn how to be good at writing."

Wen San'er praised Li Xuewen excitedly and patted Li Xuewen on the shoulder.

Li Xuewen was still a little uncomfortable with the character of his younger brother and this group of people. He put the back cover of the radio on, stood up and said, "Now that it's repaired, I'll go back."

When Li Xuewu saw Saner winking, he smiled and followed Li Xuewen out of the house. In the outer courtyard, the two brothers were talking.

“The craftsmanship is pretty good”

"What kind of craftsmanship? It's just a little knowledge of electrical engineering."

"Old Biaozi collected it for 5 yuan. Do you understand what it means?"

Li Xuewen was a little confused and asked: "What can it mean?"

"You think if I sell it for 50 yuan, will anyone buy it?"

"Who would buy it?"

As soon as Li Xuewen said the words "Who will buy it?" his eyes widened instantly. He gestured excitedly to Li Xuewu for a long time and said, "That's illegal!"

Li Xuewu looked at his excited elder brother and smiled: "No, it's legal."

Li Xuewen: "???"

"The contract we signed with the supply and marketing cooperative includes provisions for recycling and reselling used products. The supply and marketing cooperative only requires that it is not allowed to sell new products. Ours are not new."

Li Xuewen looked at his younger brother with disbelief and asked, "Is this still possible?"

Li Xuewu didn't answer. He hugged his elder brother's shoulders and smiled like a bad uncle: "Brother, we are brothers fighting tigers. I will provide the waste products and you will provide the technology. When the time comes, I will ask Wen San'er to give you a salary."

"Forget it, I don't make money from this. Besides, your sister-in-law gives me 5 yuan as pocket money every month, and I can't spend it all every month."

Looking at his honest and honest eldest brother, Li Xuewu was speechless for a while. How could this eldest brother be managed like a little sheep by his sister-in-law?

"Brother, you need to be more of a man. Why are you always being suppressed by your sister-in-law? You need to stand up," Li Xuewu said with encouragement.

Li Xuewen looked at his younger brother and took off his arm. He was really not used to being hugged by others, and neither could his biological brother.

"I'm very supportive now. I can reach out for clothes and open my mouth for food. If you want to read a book, your sister-in-law can buy it. If you want to watch a movie, your sister-in-law can arrange it. I don't have to worry about getting a salary. Not to mention using money. Your sister-in-law has given me everything now." There’s no end to the flowers.”

What does it mean that stupid people have stupid blessings? The eldest brother is introverted and honest. He likes to read books by himself and does not like daily necessities. However, the eldest sister-in-law is proficient in everything and takes care of him clearly. This may be the life that the eldest brother longs for most.

"A man can't be without money. Think about how tight you were last time I went to your father-in-law's house. If you come here after work to help repair electrical appliances, you can save a lot of income. If you want to go out independently in the future, you can use it. There’s plenty of room for money.”

"How do you know?" Li Xuewen asked in surprise, but the second half of the sentence was shot back by Li Xuewu.

"Sister-in-law, it's almost written on her face that she will be separated and live alone. I see that my father has been unwilling to talk to you recently. Your school has started to separate houses?"

Li Xuewen said with some embarrassment: "This is what happened. Your sister-in-law wants to mention it to the family, but she is afraid that dad will be angry."

Li Xuewu looked at his elder brother who was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "If you want to go out to live alone, of course you can't directly say, change the direction, and you can't go out all at once, you have to take your time."

Li Xuewen looked at the direction of his home, approached his brother and asked, "How do you say this?"

When Li Xuewu saw his eldest brother taking the bait, he started to lie about it and didn't talk about the house.

"Brother, your skills as an electrician will be in vain if you don't use them."

"Learn martial arts."

"Brother, there will be more places to spend money in the future, and raising children will be a big expense."

"no."

"Brother, think about it, women also need surprises. Have you ever given anything to your sister-in-law?"

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother who wanted to ask him another question, and asked angrily: "You still don't understand what I mean?"

"You just have to write it directly on my face. Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Xuewu smiled successfully and said: "Help me repair the electrical appliances, and I will share one-third of the profit with you. I will help you handle the matter of dividing the house."

Li Xuewen dragged his younger brother to look at his front yard and saw that no one came out of his house. He said anxiously: "I'll help you repair it for free. The guy who was circling around me just now seemed like he wanted to learn. I'll teach him, but you Gotta help me”

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's a deal, if you can't teach me, you'll keep helping me practice."

Seeing that his younger brother doubted the ability of a university teacher, Li Xuewen raised his head angrily and said arrogantly: "I can teach him even elementary school culture in one month."

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother's arrogant face, raised his head and said unconvincingly: "Cough~cough~don't look down on people, do you really think there are no capable people around my brother? That is our military advisor level, soul level figure, and he is still in elementary school. Culture, do you know what Uncle Wen’s education is?”

The eldest brother blushed a little when he saw Li Xuewu's solemn words and his confident tone. What's wrong with him? How could he become arrogant? This is not advisable. There are so many learned masters in the world. Although there are not many college students, there are some. Is it possible that Wen Saner, who works with his younger brother, has a college degree?

Li Xuewen asked hesitantly: "Then who is he?"

Li Xuewu watched Wen San'er eavesdropping behind the door, and said arrogantly to his elder brother: "Hold on to the wall, I'm afraid you will be frightened when I say it. Listen carefully, Uncle Wen San'er is Zheng'er." I finished the first grade of junior high school with eight chapters! If it weren’t for a female student who delayed me, that would be the case.”

"Li Xuewu! Don't spread rumors! I'm a serious person!"

How could Wen San'er stand behind the door? He opened the door curtain angrily and roared.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in this voice, but the last sentence made a serious person feel a little less confident.

"Third uncle, I told my brother that you are a serious junior high school student." Li Xuewu saw San'er coming out and said with determination and pride.

"Fuck you, I almost finished junior high school, so I have a junior high school education." Wen San'er was very concerned about Li Xuewu belittling his academic qualifications in front of Li Xuewen, whom he was about to study under.

At this time, the old Biaozi came out with a bunch of intestines to wash and opened the door curtain and said: "That's right, Brother Wu, don't be such a shabby person. My third uncle still went there in the second grade of junior high school."

When Wen San'er saw her nephew rarely speaking for her, she suddenly felt that she was still older than her mother-in-law and her nephew was still facing her. She said proudly: "That's right, my nephew knows my academic qualifications."

Without waiting for Li Xuewen to ask, Lao Biaozi answered: "Then I know quite a lot. My third uncle went to the second grade of junior high school for two days in total. The first day was Saturday to catch up with the whole school cleaning, and the second day was Sunday. The whole school is on holiday."

"Fuck you, why did you tell Li Xuewu about the female student? I told you alone."

"Hey," the old Biaozi said with a bad smile, "Aren't I preaching the glorious history to you, Third Uncle?"

Wen San'er stared angrily and wanted to kick Lao Biaozi, but now that Lao Biaozi was holding the intestines, it smelled bad, let alone stained with it.

He couldn't afford to offend the people who were laughing at him, so he turned to Li Xuewen and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I have been studying seriously for several years. I should have no problem learning this. Please give me your advice."

Li Xuewen laughed as he watched his younger brother and others joking. He rarely had the opportunity to chat with such a large number of people. He didn't even chat in the school office, just being bored and going home after class.

This scholar-literary brother is my sister-in-law's favorite type. He knows how to get home without looking at him. He doesn't have the "passionate" and "unfeeling" feelings of educated people.

Seeing San'er's solemn words at this moment, he also restrained his smile and said seriously: "Uncle San, you are too polite. You are very easy to learn. I will bring you a book later."

Looking at the gentle Li Xuewen, and then at the fierce-looking Li Xuewu, Wen Saner felt that Li Shun raised the child according to his name.

"Thank you then"

Li Xuewen saw San'er's hesitation and said, "Just ask me to learn it."

Wen San'er smiled and responded: "Okay, just call me Wen San'er."

Wen San'er admires knowledgeable people. In his opinion, college students are considered knowledgeable, and university teachers teach college students, so they must be more knowledgeable.

Sometimes when I go to the Li family, I see several young people in the Li family either reading or studying. Even Li Xuewu, an outlier, has a high school diploma.

Wen San'er naturally felt that he should respect Li Xuewen more.

Li Xuewen called him "third uncle" very politely, which made Wen San'er grin open in amusement.

Li Xuewen and several others greeted each other and then returned home.

Li Xuewu originally wanted to ask his eldest brother to eat here, but he couldn't let go of his temper and it was not good to eat here, so he didn't stay.

Tonight was a whole-sheep feast. Shazhu showed off his special skills and cooked pots of vegetables in different ways for each part of the sheep.

Silly Zhu is now familiar with Li Xuewu and others, and they are free to joke with each other. The more he gets involved in this circle, the more he feels that these people are bad-tempered towards him.

"Here, try this mutton tendon, it's so strong."

When Li Xuewu saw Sha Zhu offering food to him, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted the mutton tendon. It was really delicious, chewy and not sticky to the teeth.

"Brother Zhuzi, you can stay here with us from now on. We will provide you with wine and meat, and you will provide us with your craftsmanship."

Lao Biaozi said half-jokingly and half-seriously at the right time.

Seeing Lao Biaozi talking, Shazhu chuckled and said: "I also feel that these brothers are friendly. We will often interact with each other in the future. As long as I can do it, you will never hide anything."

"The relationship is good, we will be blessed in the future." Shen Guodong has been eating meat since he moved here, and now he is even more happy to hear that the master of the canteen of the steel rolling mill is willing to associate with a few of his people.

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Silly Zhu, who was mingling with his brothers, and secretly thought that his team was going to have a cook of its own.

A few people drank and gnawed on the sheep bones until late at night, and then Shazhu wandered home.

When passing by the front yard, the lights at Li's house and the third uncle's house had been turned off.

Li Xuewen and his wife in the south room of the Li family are still awake.

Zhao Yafang tucked herself in and asked her husband, "Did Xue Wu really say that he wanted to help with the house? How did he tell his parents?"

Li Xuewen was a little lethargic and replied: "I didn't know, he has a lot of ideas since he was a kid. If he says it will work, it will definitely work."

Zhao Yafang saw that her husband was a little tired, but she had something in her heart that she wanted to ask.

"Xue Wuzhen said he would give you money to repair electrical appliances?"

"Well, didn't I tell you before? I didn't ask for it. He didn't even ask for the money from your house last time." Li Xuewen responded word by word while yawning.

Zhao Yafang whispered in the quilt: "I know, just don't ask for it. With that Qingyang and you helping them repair electrical appliances, we don't owe Xuewu."

Li Xuewen had fallen asleep in a daze, still replying to his wife's words: "I owe nothing."

Zhao Yafang heard Li Xuewen remain silent and muttered in a low voice: "It's better to return the favor."

She didn't wait for her husband's response but she heard a snoring sound. She gave her husband a slap and saw no response, so she stopped talking and fell asleep mumbling something.

The next day, Li Xuewu finished packing and was about to go out to work when he saw Yan Jiecheng, dressed cleanly, saying goodbye to Yu Li and her family with a smile, and preparing to go to work at the steel rolling mill.

When he saw Li Xuewu pushing the cart out of the west courtyard gate, he said hello: "Section Chief Li!"

Li Xuewu grinned. This was in a compound and not a steel rolling mill. In front of the first uncle, second uncle and several steel rolling mill workers, the name Section Chief Li was a bit deliberate.

"We are all from the same courtyard, so there is no need to be so polite in private. I have something to do and leave first."

Yan Jiecheng thought that he was going to take an "official career" soon. Of course, he had to use an official title to make it appear that he was in the same unit as "Chief Li."

Not seeing the frown on the second uncle's face, he went to the steel rolling mill to report with the steps of "I don't recognize the second uncle" amidst the expectations of the whole family.

When Li Xuewu arrived at the steel rolling mill, he first went to the guest house to see Yin Mancang. Because the steel rolling mill left Yin Mancang in the canteen yesterday, he directly arranged to stay in the guest house. Today, he had to go back early.

This guest house is located on the left rear of the main building of the factory office building, on the north side of Tuanjie Lake. There is a circle of walls that surrounds the guest house and Tuanjie Lake.

This is the place where the steel rolling mill receives external guests and the families of factory employees. However, it is far away from the residential areas in the city. Very few family members of factory employees come to live here. Some of them are visiting relatives from the dormitory. family members.

It was also the first time for Li Xuewu to come to the guest house, and he usually just walked by.

The guest house has an auxiliary building and a main building. The auxiliary building has two floors. The first floor is the activity center and the second floor is the warehouse. The ceilings are very high.

The main building has four floors. The first floor is the reception hall, duty room, kitchen and restaurant, etc. The second to fourth floors are guest rooms. There are 45 guest rooms. This is what Li Xuewu learned from the security department materials.

This building was originally a hotel building for receiving experts. It was later converted into a guest house. The standards were still very high, but as soon as I entered the guest house, I felt that the conditions were too poor.

The lobby was dark, and there was no one at the front desk. The door to the restaurant on the left was locked, and I couldn't see what it was on the right. The door was also locked, the temperature was a bit low, and there was a smell of stench and mold in the air. .

Li Xuewu didn't know which house Yin Mancang lived in last night, so he could only stop at the front desk.

"Is anyone on duty?"

I waited for more than two minutes before I heard someone respond.

"Who is it? Here we come." A middle-aged woman responded from the door behind the front desk.
