Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Li Guohua had already found out yesterday that one had to take bus No. 112 to get to Balizhuang, but the starting point of bus No. 112 was at the Peking University Red Building.

Come out of Nanluoguxiang, walk south along Beiheyan Street, which was formerly Donghuangcheng Street, and walk to the intersection with Wusi Street. It is about two miles from the exit of the courtyard.

When he arrived at the bus station, he saw an extremely long tram. Although the tram was long, there were even more people. Finally, under the urging of the conductor, Li Guohua finally squeezed into the tram.

When Li Guohua saw that there were no seats left, he found a place with few people and stood there, where he could also look at the scenery of the capital city around him.

Not long after getting on the bus, the conductor began to urge everyone to buy tickets. The ticket in the conductor's hand was clamped on a plastic plate. There were four types of denominations arranged from low to high: 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, and 10 cents. The date was on the left and the amount was on the right. There was a code printed on it.

Depending on where you go, the journey and fare will be different. Li Guohua roughly calculated the bus fare based on the number of people buying tickets, and it should be one cent for one stop.

The ticket seller also had a red and blue pencil with both ends sharpened, which he used to scratch and tear the tickets in one go.

I don't know what the rules are, but there must be some tricks. Otherwise, if you guys just take a ticket and fool around, the ticket sellers will have to lose money.

Li Guohua was going to Balizhuang, which was only one stop away from the main station, Shilibao, and the ticket price was 6 cent. In this era when pork was cents per pound and cornmeal was cent per pound, it was really not cheap.

According to the calculation that Li Guohua goes back and forth every day, it costs six dollars a month. If Jia Zhang knew about this, she would definitely be heartbroken.

When Li Guohua was not busy, he asked the ticket seller how to get a monthly bus pass. He learned that he had to go to the bus company to apply for it, which cost 3.5 yuan per month, and he had to bring his work certificate and a one-inch photo.

Li Guohua was in the car just now and saw someone use this thing. It has the bus route and your identity, whether you are a student or a worker, and finally an anti-counterfeiting code, a personal photo and a steel stamp, which is very difficult to forge.

Li Guohua smiled bitterly. His monthly salary was 42 yuan, and he spent 5 yuan on the bus, which was less than one-tenth of his salary. If the third uncle knew about this, he would not know if he would call him a spendthrift.

Taking a car is much faster than walking. Li Guohua looked around along the way, and when he arrived at the textile factory, he found that it was much earlier than yesterday.

But he was early, and there were more people who arrived earlier than him. At this time, the factory was already filled with groups of three or four.

"Oh, I still live too far away. It would be nice if I could live in the North District!" Li Guohua couldn't help but think.

I thought so, but I also knew it was impossible. There were so many families in Beijing now, with several people living in one house. I still wanted to be allocated a tube-shaped building, which was a pipe dream.

Just as I was about to enter the gate, I saw an acquaintance.

"Taozi!" Li Guohua called to the man.

I saw a fair-skinned young man with a side-parted hair and a rifle on his back standing upright at the gate. Who else could it be but Zhang Tao?

Well, what he has in his hand is obviously the real thing, with real guns and real bullets, which is the dream of many boys in later generations.

"Guohua, you came early today!" Zhang Tao greeted

He was obviously happy to see Li Guohua.

"That's right. I came here by bus this morning, so of course it's earlier than yesterday!"

Others saw the two chatting but didn't say anything. It seems that the work in the security department is quite easy.

"Take the bus? That costs ten cents, which means several dollars a month. How come you are so willing to spend money all of a sudden?" Zhang Tao asked curiously.

Damn, I hope the secret is not exposed. It seems that my predecessor was also a frugal person.

"Well, ever since this incident, when old Marx refused to accept me, I've figured out a lot of things and feel that the way I was living before was not right.

From today on, I will start over and live a different and wonderful life! "Li Guohua said directly

Everyone knows that once a person has gone through something, their personality will change drastically. Moreover, what he had gone through was a matter of life and death, and his personality had changed a little, so he was not afraid that Zhang Tao would suspect that he had changed.

"Okay, Guohua! Next time I ask you to go ice skating, don't refuse to go again." Zhang Tao said with a smile

It turns out that Li Guohua used to be an honest kid. Every time Zhang Tao asked him to go out and play, Li Guohua would always talk nonsense. He would verbally agree beforehand, but once the time came, he would find excuses not to go.

So when Zhang Tao saw Li Guohua say he wanted to change the way he lived, his first reaction was to take him out to play.

"Okay, no problem. Just tell me in advance when the time comes!" Li Guohua agreed readily.

This person is unfamiliar with the place, so it would be best if someone is willing to take you out for a tour. In addition, when I was in trouble last time, Zhang Tao even came to visit me at home, so this person can get along.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and made an appointment to go out together this weekend.

When I arrived at the technical department, Tian Songlin was the only one in my group there; the others had not arrived yet.

But this is not surprising, although Tian Song was recommended by the rural commune and also lives in the countryside.

But the textile factory was built in the suburbs, so Tian Songlin's home was actually closer to the factory. In his words, it was closer to work in the factory than to work in the fields in the commune.

Seeing Li Guohua coming, Tian Songlin greeted him and then continued reading the book in his hand.

Li Guohua looked at Tian Songlin who was working hard, and shook his head with a wry smile. Last night, he also tried to read a book, but the words in the book seemed to have magic. As he read, his eyelids began to droop, and then he fell asleep unknowingly.

It seems that it will be very difficult for me to be promoted to technician in the future.

Soon several other people came, and the first thing Cao Daguo said when he came in was to assign tasks.

"We have received a notice from our superiors that the factory has not met the production target for the first half of this year. From today on, all workshops will start working overtime to catch up with production. Our technical team 3 will also stay in each workshop to escort the production target!

As for the division of labor in our group, we will continue to follow the previous method. I will be in charge of the spinning and weaving workshop, Deming will be in charge of the raw material workshop, Wancheng will be in charge of the printing and dyeing workshop, Wenlong and Guohua will continue to follow me, and Songlin will continue to follow Deming!"

"Yes!"

Naturally, everyone had no objection to Cao Daguo's arrangement.

The next few days will be busy. We will no longer have a comfortable office to sit in. We will have to go to the workshop and sweat together with our fellow workers.
