After coming out of the hotel, Comrade Xiao Du smoked a cigarette happily.
A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.
I rode the 28 big bar to the post office in Dongzhimen. I didn’t have much business to do, and I didn’t buy any rare stamps that would maintain or increase the value. I didn’t know anything about this.
The main thing is to send letters, casually eat and drink, and not to send letters at home, so it can be considered as cautious as possible.
There are three letters in total. One is sent to the sub-district office of Maomao Hutong, one is sent to the Security Office of the Steel Rolling Mill, and one is sent to the Human Resources Department of the Red Star Rolling Mill.
They were all written by Comrade Xiao Du during his spare time from treasure hunting this morning.
The font was deliberately changed and written stroke by stroke.
Although the writing is ugly, the content is interesting.
It was reported that Yi Zhonghai, a grade 8 fitter in the processing workshop 2 of the steel rolling mill, used his power to coerce apprentice Qin Huairu, and also coerced Qin Huairu to do evil things many times in the name of relief. Of course, he must be anonymous.
If it's just one letter, it can often be suppressed, but if it's made in triplicate, with different departments responsible for it, Yi Zhonghai would have to be skinned if he wanted to suppress it.
As long as one department launches an investigation, Yi Zhonghai will be dead. He will immediately die socially and his reputation will be shattered to pieces.
Moreover, Du Weiguo is a slanderer for future generations. If it doesn't work once, then let's keep doing it. We must let the departments with credibility intervene and conduct an open investigation. We must abolish the gold medal of immunity from death and beat him to death with a stick. Otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future.
After sending the letter, Comrade Xiao Du bought two large-scale peonies at the supply and marketing cooperative near the post office.
China needs special cigarette tickets. Comrade Lao Du saved a few of them before, but Comrade Xiao Du can't use them now, so he keeps them for now.
As for the economy brand cigarettes that cost 6 cents a pack, you can't smoke them. They really make your throat irritated. They are almost the same as dry cigarettes. Basically, cigarettes in this era have no filters, and each one is stronger than the other.
When buying cigarettes, Comrade Xiao Du smokes cigarettes at 2.4 cents per pack, and buys cigarette coupons at 3.8 cents per pack for Peony. This is for giving as a gift. What are you doing as a gift?
I need someone to repair the house. In my memory, before Comrade Xiao Du joined the army, he had two friends who played well together. They went to elementary school and junior high school together and were basically inseparable.
Even when Xiao Du later became a soldier, he still kept in touch with each other. When something happened to Lao Du, the two little brothers were always by Xiao Du's side.
One of them is named Yu Huaihai, who graduated from high school and now works in a grain store as a registration clerk and a 24-level administrative cadre. He has a powerful leader of the Materials Bureau at home and has a younger sister who is in high school.
The other one is Xiang Beifang, who also graduated from high school. He still failed to get into college after taking a make-up exam for a year. He is now working in the subdistrict office and just became a full-time clerk this year. He is a grade 7 clerk. He only has a mother and a younger brother in the family. The mother works in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. Level 5 clerk.
Comrade Xiao Du wants to repair his house. Who does he need to find?
First of all, in this era, most real estate is publicly owned. For example, the two and a half east wing rooms where Comrade Xiao Du lives now are publicly owned.
Even if three generations have lived here, from grandfather, to parents, to Xiao Du, the property still belongs to the state. If the job is transferred and the area leaves, the property will be taken back and redistributed.
Therefore, if you want to repair a house, you must first say hello to the people at the street office. You will not just repair it if you ask. Of course, it will be fine if you make a small fuss, but Xiao Du needs to make major repairs, which is basically equivalent to rebuilding.
Xiao Du came to see Xiang Beifang today. Their section chief’s surname is Zou. Let’s meet today and give him two cigarettes to talk about the matter. When the house is being repaired, we will treat the section chief to a meal, and we will basically live together.
Originally, repairing a house was a matter of compliance with the rules, and just saying hello was enough, but giving a gift specifically to say hello was to show respect, and Xiao Du wanted to make major repairs, which was actually a bit overstepped.
Everything else about the old house in the courtyard was easy to say. Even the leaks, cold spots and hot spots, and coal stove heating were all tolerable. But when it came to going to the toilet, Xiao Du really couldn't bear it.
Public toilets in alleys are cleaned once every half month in summer, once a month in winter, and only once every two months during the Chinese New Year.
To put it bluntly, the quality of the residents in the hutongs is really mixed, and they are basically used to urinating everywhere.
Therefore, there is basically nowhere to stay in the public toilets in alleys. Coupled with the double attack on sight and smell, it is really unbearable for Xiao Du, a later generation child who has lived in the building for as long as he can remember.
Since Du Weiguo was reborn and lived in a courtyard house, he has been to the public toilet in the alley once. After that, he went to the steel rolling mill to use the toilet every day. It took nearly 20 minutes to go back and forth. He basically did not drink water at night. The public toilets in the factory were cleaned every day. , much cleaner.
Therefore, when Comrade Xiao Du builds a house, he must build a sewer toilet. Xiao Du has already investigated and found that the courtyard has sewers, so this is feasible.
It was a bit over the top to repair pipelines, so Comrade Xiao Du came to the subdistrict office to find someone to give gifts.
As for another problem, some scarce materials are needed to repair the house, such as cement, quartz stone, borax, lime, putty, paint, water pipes and even hidden locks.
Comrade Xiao Du is going to make a list and give it to Yu Huaihai directly, asking him to calculate how much it will cost. This is something that Fa Xiao's family can take care of directly, so there is no need to be too pretentious. We will see it later.
In the afternoon, after Du Weiguo found Xibei, he met with Section Chief Zou and explained the situation. Section Chief Zou had an impression of Comrade Xiao Du because he had met him once before when he went through the formalities for discharge and transfer.
Xiao Du explained the situation very politely. The house had been almost unoccupied for six years and was about to collapse without any repairs.
In order to repair the toilet, he did not hesitate to defile himself, saying that he fell into a latrine when he was a child. Although it was winter, it had a shadow since then. Now going to a public toilet feels like torture.
This made Section Chief Zou burst into laughter, and he patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem in this matter, as long as Xiao Du could handle the pipeline by himself.
Xiao Du naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and also invited Section Chief Zou to inspect the house in a few days before repairing it, and then go to the Red Star Restaurant for a meal together.
Before leaving, Comrade Xiao Du naturally forgot the two peonies in Section Chief Zou's office. Well, they were very silky.
For such a small matter, the section chief even accepted a heavy gift and agreed to have dinner together. Xiao Du is a good follower and is a cadre himself. This shows that section chief Zou regards Xiao Du as one of his own, and he has accepted him. Your favor can last for a long time in the future.
Therefore, Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, Jianghu is always about human nature.
After coming out of the street office, Xiang Beifang followed him out. The two of them lit a cigarette at the door, "Master Du, what's going on? Are you cleaning up the house and getting a wife?"
"Get out of here, where did you find your wife? I was in the army for 6 years before I came back. Many of my former female classmates are now mothers."
"Hahaha, Yu Huaihai's sister Yu Moli is pretty good, but that girl is thorny and not easy to mess with."
"You're a little yellow-haired girl, what do you think?"
"What a yellow-haired girl, you haven't seen her in the past six years. She is 19 years old this year, and she will be in her third year of high school soon. She has changed into her eighteenth grade, and now Jasmine has bloomed. She is the school beauty of the Eighteenth Middle School."
"Okay then, why don't you pursue it?"
"Chasing farts, this girl has such high standards, she can't even look down on college students, so I have no chance."
"Okay, don't talk about these stupid things. Let's get together this weekend. I'll go to Yu Huaihai in the evening. I'll repair the house right away and I'll live with him for a while."
"Okay, then we'll meet at your house on the weekend."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Turning over and riding on the big shoulder, Comrade Xiao Du walked towards the courtyard with ease and joy.
