The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan felt that Jia Dongxu's body was leaning a little to the left, so he hurriedly got close to him, put his arm on his shoulders, stretched his left hand towards his waist, and took Jia Dongxu's entire body into his arms.

When his attention was focused on Jia Dongxu's right foot again, his fingertips felt soft.

To confirm, he gently raised his fingers and pressed them closer.

The soft feeling became clearer, and when he felt the soft retreat, he stopped and did not move.

Suddenly, his fingers felt soft covering again, and he was surprised.

"Hey, it's all swollen, I need to go to the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai put down Jia Dongxu's trousers, stood up, and took the arm held by Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Li, let's help him out and see if he can catch a ride on the road."

"it is good".

They had just walked a few steps when they saw Qin Huairu sitting on the ground, her face flushed.

Yi Zhonghai hesitated and looked at Li Yuan, "It seems that Huairu was in a hurry just now. Xiao Li, I'll help Xiao Jia, and you go and help Huairu."

"Okay", Li Yuan agreed happily.

"No, I can do it on my own," Qin Huairu waved her hand in rejection.

She didn't know what happened just now. Now under the watchful eyes of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, how could she dare to let Li Yuan help her.

So she tried her best to stand up, holding on to the wall, and slowly stood up straight.

Li Yuan felt guilty and supported Jia Dongxu again.

Several people walked out of the abandoned yard and came to the entrance of the alley. After a while, they saw a flatbed truck with a bulging top and covered with a quilt.

"Comrade, he is injured. Can you give me a lift?"

"Hey, look, my truck is full of cargo." The owner of the flatbed truck was obviously unwilling.

Li Yuan took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and then lit it with a match, "What's your surname?"

The other party was not polite. He took the cigarette and took a deep breath. Half of the cigarette was smoked out in one gulp.

He put the cigarette in front of his eyes and said, "Hey, big front door." He put it in his mouth and took a deep breath, without answering his last name from beginning to end.

"Get in the car, sit on the shaft, hold on, young man, help me push the car."

After saying that, I pinched the butt of the cigarette with my fingernails and took a big puff, until the cigarette was almost completely burned out.

Li Yuan hurriedly handed over another one, and the old man took it without any pretense and stuck it behind his ear.

More than 15 minutes later, Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed of the Red Star Workers' Hospital. After examination, the doctor told him that the fracture was unlikely and that he would apply medicine to see the effect.

Yi Zhonghai borrowed a bicycle from the factory, and it took more than 20 minutes to return to the courtyard with Li Yuan and Qin Huairu supporting him.

As soon as they arrived at the middle courtyard, a fat middle-aged woman ran out, and the cry of a child came from the room.

The person who came was none other than Jia Dongxu’s mother, Jia Zhang, who was in her 40s and under 50s and looked kind-hearted.

"How about his uncle, Dongxu?"

It looked urgent, but coherent, without yelling.

"Sister-in-law, it's nothing serious. The doctor said I have a sprained foot. Just put some medicine on it and it will be fine."

Qin Huairu gave Jia Dongxu to Jia Zhang, and she hurried into the house.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay," Jia Zhang said.

Now Jia Dongxu only has a son who is less than 5 years old, and his nickname is Bangge. The crying just now was probably caused by Jia Zhang's departure.

Not long after Qin Huairu entered the room, the crying slowly stopped.

Yi Zhonghai helped Jia Dongxu into the house and briefly introduced the situation. Li Yuan stood beside him and supported him.

Jia Dongxu didn't look better until he sat on the edge of the Kang.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. Thank you too, Xiao Li. Thanks to you, otherwise Dongxu would have suffered a lot."

Mrs. Jia Zhang responded very decently and was busy pouring hot water for the two of them.

"Sister-in-law Jia, this is the ointment. Apply it three times a day. I'm going to work first. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Yi Zhonghai took out the ointment from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zhang.

"I'll give it to you how much," Jia Zhang said gratefully.

"It's just 5 cents. No need. It's not easy for you either. Just take it as my master's wish." Yi Zhonghai was firm.

Li Yuan glanced at Yi Zhonghai and thought, "No, you also stated the specific amount of money. What does this mean?"

"No, you have to keep the money."

Jia Zhang untied her belt in front of everyone, took out a small cloth bag from the inner pocket of her cotton trousers, unfolded it layer by layer, took out five 5 cents, and held the waistband of the trousers with one hand and held it with the other. 5 cents was forced on Yi Zhonghai.

This scene opened Li Yuan's eyes. He couldn't bear this scene, "Aunt, uncle, Dongxu, sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Walk faster and you can still make it to work."

After saying that, without waiting for their response, he turned around and ran away.

The bun shop on the road also asked for a receipt, so I had to go hungry this morning.

When we arrived at the unit, as soon as we sat down to take a sip of water, Chen Bing came closer.

"I was scared to death last night. You know that ghost market in Dongzhimen. There was a big sweep last night. Fortunately, I ran early and fast. I heard that Zhang San, Meng Bala, and Cao Yidao all went in.

These three bitches were so outrageous that they actually got two big fat pigs. It’s okay if you take less every time. You have to clear the warehouse all at once, and you’ll be reported as a result. That’s right! ".

"Report? Humph..." Li Yuan sneered.

"What do you mean?" Chen Bing looked confused.

"It's not interesting. Be careful when you go to the ghost market in the future. Just don't go out of your way and don't show up." Li Yuan did not explain, but he also ordered.

"Oh, Xiao Yuanzi, pretend to be serious for your brother. Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's better not to know some things." Li Yuan deliberately played mysterious.

"I have such a bad temper. What can you know about me that would make me no longer good?"

"It's time to go to work! Still chatting, let's go to work!"

The stationmaster's shout interrupted the two's play.

Li Yuan started to move the scales with a smile, while Chen Bing gritted his teeth and ran to organize the goods yard.

There were not many people in the morning and there was less work. At around 10 o'clock, the stationmaster ran to the guard room and played chess with Uncle Song.

Li Yuan classified the rags he had just collected into different places, and then dived into the warehouse.

He had been thinking about it for an unknown amount of time yesterday, but he felt that it was not a big deal to be so confused every day, so he decided to focus on the used accessories in the warehouse.

An area near the entrance of the warehouse is the mechanical parts scrap area, and the largest number of scrap bicycles in it.

The last time I came to pull scrap metal, the station manager was reluctant to let the driver take it away, because the car repair shop liked the parts disassembled from the scrap metal, and they could be used as real waste.

So these things still stay in the distance.

Li Yuan found a adjustable wrench, started from the first bicycle, dismantled all the things that could be disassembled, and then put them into categories.

Because I was not very skilled, I dismantled one and a half bicycles before noon. He used kerosene to scorch some severely corroded parts and left them for more than ten minutes. He found that they were easier to dismantle.
