Fireworks World(4)

As November enters, the weather is gradually getting colder.

This year I didn’t offend a few children. Before the weather got cold, I bought all the sweaters, woolen trousers, and plush boots. The ones I didn’t wear were very eye-catching, but the sportswear and jackets, two for each person, are definitely enough for a change. As for the school uniforms, they are all

Leave it clean after washing, and you can wear it again when the school requires you to wear it. The material of the school uniform nowadays is really not very comfortable.

The only bad thing is that when it rains too much, the house becomes flooded, making it not very comfortable to live in.

It is very convenient to use water at home. It is the kind of faucet reserved in the community for watering flowers and trees. You can just bring the water pipe to your home. It is no problem for household use and washing. If you want to take a bath, you can go to the bathhouse. You don’t even have to spend money there.

The bathhouse in the house is taken care of by the Lin family, so you can just wash it when you go there. Of course, even if you live in a family building, you don’t have the conditions to take a bath. This is not the case for my family. In fact, it is the most difficult thing.

The only thing I endured was going to the toilet. I had to go to the original dry toilet in the family area. That place is not far from here, just a two-minute walk away. But for several children, going to the toilet in the middle of the night is very inconvenient, especially

The girl's family is old, and she feels cold and scared when she wakes up at night. Her father was not at home before, so several children put buckets in the utility room.

He got up and went down again. Now that the fourth master is back and his father is at home, the eldest girl is embarrassed and has to insist on going to the toilet. Of course, the fourth master is not worried about his child going out in the middle of the night. He often has to get up when he hears a sound and accompany him.

He took the child with him. He stood outside the toilet, coughing from time to time, telling the child not to be afraid, he was outside.

If it rains, it will be even more difficult to go to the toilet.

So, you still have to have a house. Living here is not an option after all.

Lin Yutong originally thought about buying that piece of land. The land was not big, and it was still a long and narrow strip. Because it was irregular, the villagers wanted it. The land near the street was slightly wider, and the farther back it became, the wider it became.

It is so narrow that there is an angle of fifty or sixty degrees between the house at the far edge of the village and the wall of the community.

It is not possible to build a yard in this place, but it is possible to build a facade in the front, separate the seven or eight meters in the back, and open a door from your house directly to the back, build two rooms, and bring a toilet. It can be connected directly to the village sewer.

Okay. Even if you can't connect to the heating in the factory, at least you won't be punished for going to the toilet, right?

But the fourth master shook his head: "I plan to build two floors of that place from beginning to end, and it will be used for other purposes. I will think of another way to deal with the house."

Nowadays, if you want to live comfortably here, it is actually the most comfortable in the unit building. Especially in winter, the heating starts in November, so you can wear autumn clothes and long trousers in the house in winter. This place is more northeastern

, winter feels especially long.

But if there was a house in the community, wouldn’t it have been robbed long ago?

"Yes! If you don't have a house, you have to let someone vacate the house first." The fourth master was leaning on the bedside, thinking. It's so cold at home that he can only light the stove. Although the steel and charcoal stove is good, the temperature is not constant.

, I had to add charcoal when I got up in the middle of the night. The furnace was closed and the room was not warm.

When people stay in bed, they don't dare to show their hands.

In the winter, the factory simply stopped production completely. It was said that raw materials were in short supply, and this month's salary was said to be only 30%. The fourth master spent 600 yuan to buy the vacant land, "I will find the old man tomorrow and call him

He first asked a few people to clear out the yard, cover it with asbestos tiles, and build two simple houses."

"Okay!" Take the salary and include it, which means you can do it for three to four hundred yuan.

Just what do you do with this house?

Then the fourth master went out the next day after his children went to school. Now Lin Yutong no longer makes hot pot ingredients for others. The fourth master added 50 cents per pound and refused to let him do it. If he doesn't do it, he will definitely have no income!

Lin Yutong found an easy job and put up an advertising umbrella at the entrance of the community. He moved the stove over and placed a stew pot on it. Once the stew was ready, he didn't need to worry about the rest. He added some ingredients to the stew every day.

That's it, Gudu can go. And she doesn't have to sell it herself. Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper here, has a guard booth. He sits inside and looks after the gate every day. He has a vat of tea and a hot water kettle. This is his job.

Now, the pot stall is at his door. Lin Yutong provides one braised pig's trotters and two taels of pot heads every day. For two yuan a day, he helps run the stall. Everything has a price. A pig

How much does a hoof cost, how much does a chicken leg cost, and how much does a chicken cost? Just pay with one hand and get the goods with the other. When the pot is finished, Lin Yutong just comes out and takes out the food from the pot at home and pours it into the pot. Some people want

We can't afford a chicken, but since they are all from the neighborhood, the two families can buy one together and go back and divide it among themselves. Even the weighing is saved.

This thing is very profitable. On good days, you can earn 40 to 50 yuan a day, and on bad days, you can earn 20 to 30 yuan.

So many favors have been lost in vain. The braised pork pot at home is sitting there. Lin Yutong bought more than 20 sieves. Why? Some people want to eat braised pork, but they think braised pork is expensive and it is homemade.

Lin Yutong, an acquaintance in the factory, told them to buy the raw meat, wash it at home, put it in a grate and stick it on the edge of the pot. How long does it take for it to cook? You can pick it up. Lin Yutong didn't even know how to use his hands.

.The old stewed broth is just like this. The more you use it, the more fragrant it becomes.

It seems that with a stable source of income, life is obviously getting better.

Today, the old man over there is leading a dozen people to clean up the newly bought place nearby. Lin Yutong bought ten kilograms of meat and stewed it, and then braised the pot helmets in the pot. After coming out, he used the pot helmets to hold the braised meat, and another person

A bowl of hot soup is rice, and it is the best meal for entertaining guests.

The Fourth Master told Lao Lai, and then left again, saying he was going to the food factory in the North District, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Since the uncle here was fine, he came over again, and ate and drank meat and wine with Uncle Zhang at the door. Ever since Lin Yutong set up a stall here, he came here often. Originally, Lin Yutong said, how about calling Yin

It's okay for the uncle to take care of the business. My father-in-law is his own man. Anyway, he is idle now. But he has his own persistence and lives with the eldest son, so he will get less involved in the younger son's house, especially with the younger son.

It's a matter of money. If there really is a discrepancy in this account, it's easy to tell Lao Zhang. He is paid to work, so there is a way to explain the problem. But on my side, if something really goes wrong, my daughter-in-law can't do it.

I thought I was filling in for my eldest son's family.

But that's not what he told his younger son and his wife. He explained it this way: "When I sell it, it becomes my own business. We are both doing business of acquaintances, and we met an old friend. People say

I only have two cents left on my body, how can I ask others to ask for it? I’m too thin-skinned to do this. After all, it’s better to find someone else. Knowing that it’s an outsider who earns a share of the money, there’s no point in it.

People do that."

That’s the truth!

Although he often went there, as soon as customers gathered around him, he left. Seeing that no one was around, he wandered around again.

Now, too, he had to keep an eye on the business here, and at the same time he had to keep a close eye on whether the vacant land was being cleaned up. He even went back and ordered a wooden sign with the slogan "No littering" written on it.

, and then set the wooden sign at the entrance of the yard.

During the meal, Lin Yutong called, and he happily stayed to help his daughter-in-law entertain him. He then asked where the fourth master was: "Have you abandoned this stall at home?"

"I have something serious to do." Lin Yutong smiled: "It's not like I'm always idle, I still have to find ways to make money."

Because the uncle snorted: "His way of getting money is so evil. Don't let him do it once or twice. If you keep doing this, people will not be at ease. Let me tell you, this

Don't stop making braised pork pots at home. He just gets a car and goes out to sell them, and he can make dozens of dollars more a day. Who can have this kind of income nowadays? He is just lazy and always wants to do something easy."

Lin Yutong smiled and responded vaguely, asking the fourth master to ride a tricycle to sell meat? Think about the look, with a cloth bag hanging around the neck to hold money, and a loudspeaker in front of the tricycle shouting: Braised pork is for sale.

——Three yuan and a pound——

No! I can’t think about it anymore. If I think about it anymore, I can’t help but laugh.

While we were talking, someone shouted at the door: "Xiao Lin is at home."

"Here!" Lin Yutong responded, turned his head and took a look. They can be regarded as relatives. Now that he lives in this community, most of his relatives are in this factory. The person in front of him is the sister-in-law of Yin Chuntao, the eldest sister.

.

In other words, she is her sister-in-law's sister-in-law, that's the kind of relationship.

Yin Chuntao was married to Li Guohuai, a driver of the factory's transportation team. Li Guohuai was not a bad person, and the couple had a son and a daughter. Of course, he and Yin Chuntao were relatively close to each other, but his sister and Li Guohuai could only be said to be...

We know each other, we say hello when we meet, and the gifts for weddings and weddings are a little more than others, but there is no other friendship.

But this Li Guoli has been coming every day these days.

At the beginning, she brought two kilograms of meat and said it would be marinated. Lin Yutong didn't care, just asked her to wash it herself, put it in the fence and tie the meat to the fence with white cotton thread on one side. She wrote down the fence herself.

Just pick up the number plate on it when the time comes.

From then on, I came here at this time almost every day, and every day I brought more meat. Yesterday, I brought seven to eight kilograms to ten kilograms of raw meat. Today, I brought more than yesterday, thirteen or four kilograms, divided.

I brought six small pieces. I came in and took out the meat and smiled: "Tell me to braise the meat."

Others don't know that she comes here often, but Uncle Yin, who hangs around here a lot lately, knows it.

Because the uncle couldn't bear to say anything yesterday, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said: "The life of Guoli's family is prosperous, and more than ten kilograms of meat can be eaten in the stomach a day?"

Li Guoli pretended not to hear while washing the meat. After a long while, she turned to look at Uncle Yin, as if she didn't hear clearly: "Uncle, what are you telling me? Sigh! How can my family eat so much? It's just to help."

Someone else brought it along."

Then this isn’t right! If you use my braised pork pot to braise meat, my family won’t make any money, but we have to pay for firewood and condiments. What money will we make? Isn’t it just a favor? Now that you have agreed to it on our family’s behalf, my family will join in.

So, you have left these things behind, so where can you find such a good thing?

The people on the side followed and said: "A factory worker who comes in and out, who is too embarrassed to come to the door? Why not ask her to come by herself? Xiaolin is not easy to talk to." It is obvious that several old ladies are working in the second and third factories.

The workers in the factory just looked familiar and asked Xiao Lin if he could braise the meat here. Lin Yutong did it once and a half, just a little bit. It makes no sense that people from his own factory would go out to see others.

But Lin Yutong didn't know anything in her heart. What was she passing on to others? It was all fake.

Now that the factory is so efficient, who can eat meat like this every day? How many families are she familiar with? She will bring it to this family today and to that family tomorrow? It must be through her own braised pot

Braised the meat, took it out and sold it secretly.

She didn't show off for the time being. Today, she just watched her put the braised pork in the stew pot, and then didn't go anywhere. She stayed on the side and helped Lin Yutong watch the fire.

When it was cooked, he watched her take the meat back.

Because before he left, the uncle said, "Don't be embarrassed. If you keep doing this, don't ask her to let her go. I'll go talk to your eldest sister."

"Dad!" Lin Yutong said angrily: "Don't say anything. This is not looking at the face of the monk but the face of the Buddha. My eldest sister's face is sandwiched in the middle. Isn't the face of my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law worth the little thing we have to bring in?

…”

This persuaded people, because after Uncle Yin returned, he told Aunt Yin: "The child is very good, but his face is tender and he can't open his face."
