Chapter 1217: Dark, Really Dark
At the gate of the steel mill
Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu waited for less than ten minutes, and sure enough, Xu Dachun and Qi Chenggang came out happily carrying packages.
Originally, they thought they could live in the dormitory after arriving at the steel mill, so that they could eat in the canteen every day.
As a result, the personnel department just told them that the dormitory was full, so they were assigned to the family housing in the city. Although the city is more lively, you have to eat your own food! Now you don’t have to earn money, who doesn’t want to save money?
This was like pouring a bucket of cold water on them, and they were completely chilled... They had just spent money to take a taxi here, and now they had to go back. This was just teasing them!
As the two sighed...
"Wow, that's great! You guys haven't left yet... Take us into the city again! How much does it cost to go to... to Nan... Nanluoguxiang?"
Qi Chenggang was worrying about how to get back to the city when he saw the two coachmen who had brought him here.
Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu were originally in high spirits, but when they heard that the two guys were going to Nanluoguxiang... their smiles gradually disappeared.
"You...you were assigned to live in Nanluoguxiang? Which courtyard specifically...?"
The two guys hurriedly looked at the address given by the steel mill...
"Rooms 3 and 4 in the back building in the front yard of No. 94 Nanluoguxiang, what's wrong? Is there any problem? It seems to be a single room..."
The two guys originally wanted to make another 80 cents, so that they could earn back a day's wages from the two men in just the morning...but it turned out that the two guys were assigned to Nanluoguxiang, and to Courtyard No. 94.
Cai Quanwu pedaled his tricycle and ran away after hearing the address. He had promised Lin Chen that he would never go to Nanluoguxiang again. This kid is running faster than a rabbit now...
Now the other three people were stunned! Xu Dachun and Qi Chenggang immediately looked at Qiangzi again...
"What do you mean by partner? It's not like we don't pay you?"
Hat Qiang smiled awkwardly and immediately called out to the other party...
"Cai Quanwu, why are you running?"
Cai Quanwu didn't even turn his head back. He ran not because he was afraid... It would be the same if he didn't go into the alley to see him off.
He ran mainly because he had received a notice that there would be a fight outside Dongzhimen tomorrow. He didn't want to go there and die now... If he was blocked by the people in the courtyard, he would not be able to get off the bed for a few days.
Now this guy doesn't even look back...
"My family has an urgent matter, you guys can discuss it among yourselves! I'll be leaving first... Goodbye!"
The three of them just watched Cai Quanwu run away... There was nothing they could do. He had already run away even though he didn't solicit customers. What else could they do...
Qi Chenggang and Xu Dachun didn't know what was going on, so they looked at Mao Ziqiang again.
"Brother, what happened? You were fine just now, why did you run away? Now tell me what to do! You can't run away again..."
Mao Ziqiang also wanted to run away, but unfortunately the four cents were already in his pocket…and if he ran away now, how would they meet again in the future?
"What kind of work have you been assigned, brothers?"
Judging from the two men's clothes and luggage, they didn't look like cadres like Wang Tiedan...so he asked them about their work situation.
Qi Chenggang laughed cheerfully and said, "I'm driving in the transport team, and Dachun is assigned to a canteen... they say they're short of cooks."
When Qiangzi heard that the other party was just an ordinary worker, he felt relieved...
Don't fucking end up like last time, when that jerk Wang Tiedan got a deputy section chief.
"I see! My friend is running now and this car can't carry you guys. How about you give me two cents and I'll help you two carry your luggage... How about you follow behind?"
Qiangzi did not tell them that he was from the neighboring No. 95 courtyard, otherwise what if the other party was unwilling to give him two cents?
Xu Dachun thought it was a good deal after all, he was a newcomer and didn't know the place well.
"Well, thank you for your help, brother! You are more reliable than that guy just now. What a jerk! He just ran away without saying anything! You are so inhumane!"
Mao Ziqiang doesn’t know how to explain it now. He wants to run away but is afraid that they will not be able to meet again in the future.
In this way, the two guys put all the packages on Qiangzi's tricycle, and the three of them returned again, talking and laughing...
Ma Han couldn't help but chuckle after watching them leave. Logically, these two guys couldn't enter the family compound. But even if there was no reason, he had to find one... Otherwise, how could he catch up with the group activities tomorrow?
……
half an hour later
Qiangzi brought two young men to No. 94 Nanluoguxiang...
"We're here, I'm exhausted from running around this morning... It's time for me to go home for dinner. Go find your rooms! They're right here in this yard..."
Qi Chenggang and the other guy didn't care. It was already noon...it was normal for people to go home for lunch!
As a result, after Qiangzi put two dimes in his pocket, he locked the tricycle and walked to the No. 95 courtyard next door. This confused Xu Dachun and Qi Chenggang.
"Is there something wrong with Brother Dachun?"
Xu Dachun scratched his head: "Damn, it turns out that this old guy lives next door! My goodness, he is really good at pretending..."
Qi Chenggang also realized that after walking around for the whole morning, he was actually this guy's neighbor...
"Black... so damn black, I won't ride in his car even if he calls me uncle. These two people stole one dollar from us!"
Qiangzi doesn't care what they think now. He has already found out that they are just two new recruits... He doesn't need to worry about their revenge. Besides, his wife is not a pushover... He has already got the 60 cents, and he is really happy!
……
When Qiangzi returned home, he saw Chen Junliang moving. The Xiao family had moved out early in the morning... The third aunt also occupied Xiao Yufang's small room.
"Third sister-in-law, you...what do you mean? How come your Yan family occupied this room? Isn't this Comrade Xiao Yufang's room?"
The third aunt gave Mao Ziqiang a disdainful look.
"Get out of here! This room belongs to Xiao Yufang, not Xiao Changgong... Can't I rent Xiao Yufang's now? Her brother got a share of the yard, but she didn't get one... You two are really interesting. You worry about everything else all day long."
Jia Zhang was scolded for her curiosity in the morning, and now Mao Ziqiang was scolded again... The couple also wanted to rent Xiao Yufang's room, so that they wouldn't have to eat with Ma Lan every day.
The Jia-Zhang couple still want to separate and live on their own, and don't want to live with Ma Lan and Jia Dongxu. At worst, they can separate and take Bang Geng with them...
Lin Chen asked the Yan family to rent Xiao Yufang's house, firstly to prevent the stingy person from taking advantage, and secondly to prevent Jia Zhangshi from separating from Ma Lan now. As long as Jia Zhangshi didn't have a kitchen, they would go back to the middle courtyard to cook.
Now that Xiao Yufang's nephew no longer lives there, isn't it normal for him to rent it out? No one can control it... The steel mill has already approved it!
