Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

The middle-aged man stepped forward and opened the car door:

"Commander, why did you come here in person? Just tell me over the phone, I'm sure I can get it done for you."

Zhou Zhennan also replied politely: "Xiao Zhao, I trust you to do the job."

"I didn't have anything to do this morning, so I sent my nephew here in person. You have to take good care of him in the future."

The middle-aged man called Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly.

"Commander, don't worry, I'm here!"

Zhou Zhennan nodded with satisfaction.

Then he got out of the car and asked the guard to open the trunk of the jeep. Cao Haotian found that there were a lot of things inside.

Two brand new army green quilts, pillows and sheets.

There are also two enamel basins, two enamel pots, a thermos, as well as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.

"Haotian, these are new, keep them for your use."

Cao Haotian did not refuse.

I said thank you and took the things out of the trunk.

Zhou Zhennan just sent them to the factory gate and watched Xiao Zhao lead Cao Haotian into the steel rolling mill.

"My name is Zhao Guoqiang, and I'm the head of the factory security department. From now on, you can just call me Brother Zhao."

Zhao Guoqiang enthusiastically helped carry the things.

"Hello, Brother Zhao. My name is Cao Haotian. Please take care of me in the future."

Cao Haotian took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhao Guoqiang took it with a smile and clipped it on his ear.

These days, the security department in a factory has real power.

From small matters like an employee stealing an onion to big matters like spies coming into the factory, the Security Department is responsible for everything.

Even when couples in the factory quarreled and argued, the security department sometimes had to step in to resolve the issue.

Not long after, Zhao Guoqiang led Cao Haotian to his office.

Because he helped the police station provide clues about the theft of flour, and because of his relationship with Deputy Commander Zhou Zhennan, Cao Haotian was directly given a position as a formal worker.

The monthly salary is twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents.

"Brother Zhao, this cigarette was given to me by Uncle Zhou. It would be a waste if I smoke it. You can keep it for yourself!"

Cao Haotian took out a pack of cigarettes from the bag and handed it over.

Zhao Guoqiang waved his hands repeatedly: “This is given to you by the commander, I can’t take it.”

"Brother Zhao, please don't be polite. If I want to smoke, I can go to Uncle Zhou and get some."

Cao Haotian directly stuffed the cigarette into the drawer of his desk.

Can I just take it if I want to?

What is the relationship between this guy and the commander?

Zhao Guoqiang showed a puzzled look.

I've never heard that the commander has a nephew before!

not……

He didn't dare to think further.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

Zhao Guoqiang no longer refused: "Come to my house in the evening, let your sister-in-law cook two dishes, and we will have a good drink."

Cao Haotian nodded in agreement.

In this steel rolling mill, as long as Zhao Guoqiang is there to protect us, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

Even the factory director has to give some face to the head of the security department.

Because this security department is under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau.

It’s not the factory’s responsibility at all.

Afterwards, Zhao Guoqiang led Cao Haotian to Director Yang's office.

Although the security department is not under the factory's jurisdiction.

However, the factory is still responsible for the payment of wages and other benefits.

I completed the employment procedures smoothly and received my food and non-staple food certificates.

These days, when you go to buy food, in addition to paying money and food coupons, you also have to bring a food book.

Everyone has a certain amount.

Once the quota is exceeded, the grain station will not sell you grain even if you have grain coupons and money.

Of course, you can buy it on the black market.

However, its price is nearly ten times or even more expensive than that of the grain station.

"Haotian, I have a single dormitory in the factory, but I go home to live at night, so I can leave the room for you."

Zhao Guoqiang carried the bedding.

Cao Haotian waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'd better go out and find a house to live in!"

“The courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang are quite nice, and I have a friend who lives in Courtyard No. 95.

I heard that the courtyard is also owned by our factory. Brother Zhao, can you arrange for me to live in Courtyard No. 95?"

Joining the steel rolling mill and moving into Courtyard No. 95 is the second task issued by the system.

So Cao Haotian definitely cannot live in the single dormitory in the factory.

"The courtyard is full of people, it's better to live in a single dormitory in this factory."

"Brother Haotian, I think you should live in the factory!"

Cao Haotian quickly shook his head: "Brother Zhao, I like to live where there are many people. I think it's lively like that."

Later, after his repeated requests, Zhao Guoqiang finally agreed.

Take him to the street office in Nanluoguxiang.

In the Nanluoguxiang area, there are many houses that used to belong to Loubancheng.

Since the public-private partnership, many of the houses in these courtyards have been allocated to steel mill employees for living.

Soon, Zhao Guoqiang and Cao Haotian arrived at the street office.

I found Director Wang and explained the situation in person.

The latter said that there were indeed empty rooms in Courtyard 95.

But the area is not very large.

Cao Haotian said he didn't care.

Anyway, just live in it.

In this way, Director Wang led Cao Haotian to Yard 95.

Zhao Guoqiang returned to the steel rolling mill.

"Director Wang, have you eaten?"

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a man in his 40s wearing glasses coming out to greet me.

One of the glasses legs was broken.

"Old Yan, I've eaten and brought a new person to your hospital."

Then, Director Wang turned around and introduced: "Xiao Cao, this is the third uncle in the hospital. You can consult him if you have any problems in the future."

When Cao Haotian took a look, he realized that this was Yan Bugui, who was known as the God of Scheming in the martial arts world.

His nickname is Yan Laokou.

Except for going to school and fishing, he had to keep an eye on the gate whenever he was in the yard.

Let’s see what everyone in the yard bought today?

If you are lucky, you might even get a scallion or a head of garlic or something.

Even if a dung carrier passed by the gate, he would have to taste the saltiness, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable...

Yan Bugui also has a habit of silently reciting his motto 30 times before going to bed every night.

You won’t be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will become poor if you don’t plan well.

In fact, most of the time he was stingy because he was forced to do so.

Yan Bugui has many children in his family, and over the years the whole family has relied on him to make money.

In the year of the great disaster, in order to keep everyone in his family alive, he had to be a little stingy.

"This young man looks like an honest man. We will be neighbors from now on. If you need anything, just call me. I will help you with your luggage."

Yan Bugui stepped forward and rushed to help Cao Haotian carry the two quilts.

I wanted to refuse, but Mr. Yan acted too quickly.

Before Cao Haotian could speak, he snatched the quilt away.

Walking through the front yard and coming to the middle yard, the first thing I saw was a plump woman washing clothes by the sink.

You can tell at first glance that she is someone who can give birth to a son.

Because they were using a washboard, Big Bear and Little Bear kept jumping around...
