Chapter 412 1960 Years
Chapter 412 1960 Years (Part )
After leaving the planting space, Li Kailang was in great spirits.
"Take the photos to Zhang Fen first. The couple is worried about buying it. Let's talk about the house while we're at it."
Zhang Fen and his wife were naturally very concerned about their house. Like Li Kailang, they would go to take a look at it almost every weekend.
I rode my bike to Zhang's house, and they were still asleep.
"This couple goes to bed even later than me. They are so lazy!" Li Kailang was laughing at the pot calling the kettle black. He himself was not much better.
Li Kailang greeted his master and his mistress first.
"Kailang, why are you here so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast? How about eating together?" Han Xiaohui was wondering why Li Kailang came.
"No, I've already eaten. I'm here to deliver photos. The photos of Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law have been developed and I'm delivering them to you."
As he spoke, Li Kailang took out the photos and photo albums.
"Hey, kid, it's just a photo. You don't need to make a special trip. It's the same if you go to the factory tomorrow."
Han Xiaohui said this, but her hands were not slow and she immediately took the photo and looked at it.
"Oh, these photos of the couple are really great. Looking at these photos is like going back to the day of their wedding. Look."
Han Xiaohui handed the photo to Zhang Jinwu, and they both looked very happy.
After watching for a while, Han Xiaohui suddenly realized something. "Look, I was so engrossed that I forgot about you. Your brother and sister-in-law are sleeping. I'll go get them."
Han Xiaohui went out immediately after saying that. "You two are up! Kailang came to see you and brought your wedding photos."
The two people who were being affectionate in the room immediately stood up and rushed out after hearing what was said.
"Where is where?"
"See how anxious you are. Go wash up first." Han Xiaohui rolled her eyes.
Eventually, the two of them saw their own photos.
As they looked at it, Li Kailang told them about the condition of the house.
"Before I came here, I went to see Engineer Han. He said that the house renovation would be almost finished in ten days or half a month, and we could start packing up."
"Really?" Zhang Fen said in disbelief. The house was finally going to be renovated.
Li Kailang responded: "How can this be fake? I've seen it all."
Han Xiaohui said happily: "That's great, we can move into the new house before the New Year, just in time for the New Year."
"No, I have to prepare the furniture quickly. By the way, the furniture is with you, right?" Zhang Fen looked at Li Kailang.
Li Kailang nodded: "Don't worry, the furniture is fine, don't worry."
"Look how anxious you are. Xuewei is not anxious at all, so why are you so anxious?" Han Xiaohui said with a smile.
Yu Xuewei on the side smiled and didn't answer, but she was very anxious because this was her own house.
Although her parents-in-law were very nice to her, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She would be much more comfortable if she could be in her own house.
Han Xiaohui: "Okay, why rush? There's still more than half a month left."
"I've thought of everything for you. You two just need to prepare bedding, thermos and other daily necessities. The furniture is at Kailang's place. I've prepared everything else for you."
"Thank you, Mom!" Yu Xuewei thanked. She didn't expect her mother-in-law had prepared everything for them.
Han Xiaohui: "Why are you being so polite? We are all family. There is still half a month left. You can prepare whatever you need slowly. It's best to write it down on paper so you don't forget it later."
"That's right, no, we still have to go and see how the house is." Zhang Fen couldn't sit still and immediately went to see the house.
"I'm going too." Yu Xuewei responded quickly, and the two of them rode their bikes to look at houses together.
"These two kids." Han Xiaohui shook her head helplessly and looked at Li Kailang: "Kailang, I'll need your help when the time comes to move."
"It's okay." Li Kailang waved his hand, chatted for a few words and then left.
When they returned to the yard, Zhang Fen and his wife had already seen the house and came to his house to look at the furniture.
Seeing that the furniture was well kept, I felt relieved and went home immediately to brainstorm and write down the things to take with me when I moved.
Moving to a new house is not easy, especially moving in winter. You also have to bring some coal, winter vegetables, etc. to the new house.
They also have to prepare New Year's goods and do many things, which keeps the couple busy.
"Busy, everyone, be busy, the better." Li Kailang murmured.
Taking advantage of the rare warm weather and bright sunshine today, everyone in the front yard hurriedly took out their quilts and clothes to dry in the sun.
More than two months have passed, and the yard has undergone considerable changes.
"Mom~" Suddenly, a soft voice came.
I saw a chubby little girl running up to the three aunts with a feather duster in her hand.
"Give~"
"Oh, thank you Jie Di." The third aunt took the feather duster with a smile, and looked at the baby Yan Jie Di, and her heart suddenly felt better.
Yan Jie Di is the only daughter and the youngest daughter in the Yan family. She is loved by the whole family. Yan Bugui and Yan Jie Cheng would get close to her first when they get home from get off work every day.
Yan Jiecheng was okay, but Yan Jiedi was disgusted by Yan Bugui's untidy and prickly beard every time he got close to him.
Every time Yan Bugui approached her, she would push him away.
In order not to be disliked by his daughter, Yan Bugui shaves his beard every two or three days. Although it is troublesome, Yan Bugui enjoys it.
"It's okay if it's a little troublesome now, but when Jie Di grows up, we won't be able to be so close to each other like we are now."
"Sister~" Suddenly, another soft voice was heard.
Then another chubby little kid came running and jumping in front of Yan Jiedi.
"Sister~"
As soon as the two met, they hugged each other happily.
The one who ran over from the Central Courtyard was none other than Xiaodang. The two were born only half a month apart and were now one and a half years old.
There were only two children in the yard, they were the same age, and both were girls, so naturally they played together.
The parents of both families were naturally happy to see them playing together. After all, except for the youngest one, the other kids in the yard were all seven or eight years old and could not play together.
Even if we play together, we still have to worry about accidentally getting hurt, so it’s better not to play.
"Play?" Xiao Dangnunuo asked.
"Play." Yan Jiedi nodded, and the two of them held hands and played in the yard.
Only the two of them could understand this unclear conversation.
The two first ran to the planting area to play with the soil, then ran under the quilt and passed back and forth. The laughter of Jingle Bells echoed in the yard.
Afterwards, he ran to Cui Yuan and watched him repair the machine. He felt bored and ran away to do something else.
The two people's movements were uncertain and no one could guess what they were playing.
The biggest change in the front yard is definitely the Cui family.
Two months later, Cui Yuan's electrical skills improved dramatically.
After taking on many orders for repairing machines in the repair shop, Cui Yuan’s electrical skills improved dramatically.
If you have the ability to pass the first-level electrician test before, after two months of practical maintenance, becoming a second-level electrician will be no problem.
In addition to technological advances, the most important thing is that the Cui family finally saved some money.
I made about ten yuan in October at the beginning, which doubled to more than twenty yuan in November, and more than thirty yuan in December.
She made a net profit of 3 or yuan in months, plus the salary she saved, she now has at least yuan saved. Only Aunt Cui knows the exact amount.
With money, the Cui family is no longer as tight on money as before, daring not to buy anything or eat anything.
The three members of the Cui family gradually became better in temperament, and their own character was increasingly revealed.
But the Cui family's life gradually improved, which naturally aroused the envy of some people. "Why do your Cui family live better than me? Before, you, Cui Yuan, were a poor man doing odd jobs in the street office, but now you live better than me. There must be something fishy going on."
Some people who were envious, jealous and resentful naturally called the police, and upon hearing the news, the police naturally conducted a thorough investigation into the Cui Yuan incident.
Unfortunately, Cui Yuan's actions were all legal and compliant. He registered his name on the repair shop, so his behavior of making money from repairs was not a crime.
"Humph, I don't believe I can't deal with you. Since the police station can't do it, I don't believe the steel mill can't do it."
"I'm going to file a complaint with the steel mill. I don't believe you didn't do maintenance during work. If you did, it would be dereliction of duty and a violation of discipline."
Some people immediately reported the matter to the steel mill, and a letter of complaint was delivered to the desk of Director Yang.
Director Yang gave the letter of complaint to Cui Yuan's master Liu Huazhong. After reading it, Liu Huazhong naturally dismissed the complaint.
"Master Liu, what do you think about this?"
"What else can I do? Just stand there and watch. My apprentice is doing things legally and in compliance with regulations. This report is just jealousy."
"As for dereliction of duty? That's even more ridiculous. My apprentice is just an apprentice. What kind of work does an apprentice have to do? Isn't it just helping out? After finishing the work, he will naturally have nothing to do."
My apprentice is capable enough to be a second-level electrician. If he doesn't make money based on his skills, does he really need the money from his apprenticeship to marry a wife?"
Director Yang could naturally hear that Liu Huazhong was obviously trying to protect someone, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
What can a master with the ability of a second-level worker do if he is still an apprentice? He has no way to upgrade his skill level.
Besides, Cui Yuan earns his money based on his own ability and follows compliant procedures. Everything is reasonable and legal, so Director Yang can't do anything about it.
In the end, this letter of complaint fell into oblivion and no response was given, and it had no impact on Cui Yuan at all.
However, after Liu Huazhong returned, he still gave Cui Yuan some advice, asking him to make money in a low-key manner.
"Xiao Yuan, we should make money quietly, but don't be too high-profile, or people will be jealous."
"Yes, Master!" Cui Yuan was confused and had no idea why Liu Huazhong said that.
The next day, the rolling mill.
Li Kailang walked towards his "exclusive office".
His office is not a place for working like Zhang Jinwu's, but a place for him to study. This office is in the apprentice room.
This "Apprentice House" is the newly built house of the transport team. The name is very common. It is used for apprentices to learn, so that the masters don't have to worry about it.
Li Kai pushed open the door of his exclusive office. The room was not big, only about ten square meters, but it had everything it needed.
What comes into view is a huge workbench with various tools and workpieces, as well as some daily necessities, placed in the corners.
Li Kailang can work and study, as well as sleep and rest, which is much better than apprentices and masters.
You don't have to sit in the car with your back stiff to take a nap like the masters, nor do you have to find a place to take a nap like the apprentices.
This exclusive office of his was not built on purpose by him, but was built by the masters under duress while he was on a mission.
Li Kailang refused this exclusive room. Isn't this being eccentric and special? How could he make such a mistake?
But the masters forced him to accept it and tried to persuade him with kind words.
"Master Li, it's all your credit that this house was built. Without you, our transport team wouldn't have been able to build a house. You must take this room."
"Yes, Master Li, just accept it. This house was originally built by Director Yang for you to study. You should be generous and think of the apprentices. You can't let yourself be a burden."
"That's right, Master Li, you are a college student, and these apprentices are just little brats. If they disturb your studies, they will be sinners."
The masters tried their best to persuade Li Kailang, but finally one sentence forced him to accept it.
"Master Li, if you don't want it, we will tear down this house."
In the end, Li Kailang accepted this exclusive room.
It’s true, with this private room, Li Kailang can do whatever he wants in it. He stays in there after completing his tasks every day, and no one knows what he is doing.
"Fortunately, I didn't refuse at the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to find a warm place in such a cold day." Li Kailang added firewood to keep warm.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
"Crackling——"
Suddenly, there were bursts of noises outside the room.
"The apprentices have also started classes." Li Kailang murmured.
The apprentices all came to class with reluctance on their faces. Since the apprentice house was built not long ago, all the apprentices had to study in the house, just like reading a book.
They didn't study hard when they were in school, and they didn't expect that after coming to the steel rolling mill, they would have to study like they did in school. They all looked sad.
The apprentices have been studying in the room for almost two months.
"Ah, it was better in the old days." An apprentice sighed, looking up at the sky and recalling the past, "I really miss it."
The apprentice on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, what you can learn from fishing for three days and drying the nets for two days depends on whether the master teaches you. It's not like you can learn everything like this."
"Just be content. You just miss the days when you could rest after working. Did you learn anything back then?"
Having said this, he was speechless.
In the past, when the maintenance master was free, he would teach them if he had time. If he was not free, he would just let them watch and help out because he did not have time to teach.
At that time, how much you could learn depended entirely on the mood of the masters.
Now that they have gathered together to study, the apprentices have been forced to learn a lot of useful knowledge, and the masters have also been forced to teach them some knowledge.
Zhang Jinwu naturally accepted this with pleasure. At least the apprentices' skills had improved a lot compared to before.
"If I can get into night school, I wonder if I can have an exclusive room like Master Li." An apprentice looked at the room in the corner with envy.
These apprentices have almost no private space and are surrounded by people everywhere.
"Come on, you're still thinking about going to night school. Finish your studies first. Master Li is so capable. This house was built by him. How could he not have a room?"
"Can't you just comfort me and say something nice to me? Why do you always argue with me?"
"I'm not always against you, it's you who are always wishful thinking. I'm trying to tell you not to be unrealistic."
Just as the two were about to argue, a person blew in a cold wind, making them shiver and feel cold.
"I think what you said is right. I will also work hard to go to night school and try to get a room to live in. This big room is too cold. It's warmer at Master Li's place."
The apprentices couldn't help but envy Li Kailang. They wanted to move closer to him to keep warm, but they couldn't. They had been strictly forbidden by their masters.
"It's fine if you don't study, but you must not disturb Master Li's study. If I find out who disturbs Master Li's study, don't blame me for being rude."
Since the masters have said so, the apprentices can only obey.
"Is everyone here? Let's start the class!" A teacher walked in with a book in his arms. Seeing that most people were here, he started the class.
At the end of the year, the transport team was not busy, so Zhang Jinwu asked the apprentices to concentrate on their studies and follow the same schedule as in school.
From time to time, masters would come to inspect the windows, doors and gates to see which apprentice was not studying well.
If you are discovered, being named is the lightest punishment, but if it is serious, you will be kicked directly.
The masters also introduced the school examination system, and those who did not perform well would be punished.
Now the masters are working hard to train the next Li Kailang among their apprentices.
This was a tough time for the apprentices. Their lives were miserable and they had to study every day.
Li Kailang was happy to see this, "I worked so hard to read the book, and I have to let you experience my pain."
"Hahaha~"
Listening to the sound of reading outside, Li Kailang put his feet on the workbench and rocked the recliner back and forth, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.
