When we returned to the compound, it was probably dinner time. There was no one at the door, so we moved the car into the courtyard gate.
It's different when you get to the central courtyard. There are many people holding bowls, squatting at the door or crowded together. It's so lively. You pick up a chopstick to taste my dish, I pick up your chopstick to taste the dish, and then start to praise it loudly.
We met every day when we went out, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good.
Whoever's food is delicious will be the brightest tonight.
Apparently they had not decided who was the brightest today, when Ma Teng came back pushing the cart.
"The horseman is back. You bought a car now? Why isn't it new?"
Ma Teng looked at this man and felt that he was not very impressed, but he knew that he was also from the steel rolling mill. He seemed to be a loader in the warehouse. "Master Wu is eating. He is not weak. He bought it from the trust store at the corner of the street. It is 80% new. Let's change it." The handlebars and saddle are like a new car.”
Master Wu got up and came over to look around, his eyes full of envy.
Master Wu's second-level job costs NT$9.6 a month. However, the family only has a 9-year-old daughter, so they live a good life. They are not considering getting married because they are afraid that the new woman will treat their daughter badly.
But if you want to buy a car, you just have to think about it. It’s not annoying enough to buy a broken car. If you don’t choose well, you have to repair it all day long. If it’s a new car, don’t even think about it. Even the bicycle tickets are all. It's a big test. There are more than 10,000 people in the factory, and there are almost 10,000 people waiting for tickets.
In addition to the ticket, there is also money, and the cheapest car costs 157. However, according to Master Wu, who is a big man, he will have to buy a 28-pound car of this type, but it will be close to 180.
Save 15 yuan a month, which is not enough for a year. My children are only 9 years old. I will have a lot of money in the future, even if I feel jealous, I won’t give it up.
"It must have cost you a lot of money."
"It didn't cost much, less than 90."
"You also bought a bunch of pots and pans. Why, you plan to cook and eat them in the courtyard in the future."
"No, I was bleeding today. Although there is no ticket, it is not cheap at all. The car cost 200 yuan.
From now on, it’s better to cook and eat by yourself in the yard. "Ma Teng is sending a message to everyone, that is, I have no money, so don't come and try to take my ideas.
If someone who doesn't look at you still comes, then don't blame him for speaking harshly.
At this time, people eating outside in the middle courtyard came over with bowls in hand, looking at this and that, and kept clicking their tongues.
"Horse, let's go together when we go to work."
Ma Teng also knew that this man was Zhou Cheng from the front yard, who also joined the steel rolling mill at about the same time as himself. Ma Teng was now a level 3 electrician, and he was a mechanic. He was still a junior mechanic, something like an apprentice.
"I don't know how to take people with me. Let's talk about it later." Ma Teng declined politely.
Are you kidding? The car I bought is not for you. If you are a girl, I will reluctantly consider it.
When Zhou Cheng heard what Ma Teng said, he stepped aside unhappily while holding the bowl.
"Young and old men, please give way. I have to go home. The meal hasn't been cooked yet and it will get dark soon." Ma Teng said to the circle of people surrounding the car.
The main reason is that there are still a few people who want to come up and touch the dishes they bought. If someone takes one away, although the money is not much, it is not the same.
Don’t think that people in this era are all good people. Those in this group of people have not experienced childhood and the wars of the national army and survived. They are all human beings. If they are stubborn, they are all in the Lu family in Zuo’anmen. There are mass graves near the kiln.
"Xiao Ma, where did you get your car?"
As soon as Ma Teng arrived at Yi Zhonghai's door, this old boy jumped out.
"Stealed, robbed, stolen, intercepted, what can I do? To be honest, Master Yi, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your generosity this morning, I wouldn't be able to buy a car. No matter how hard it is, I won't be able to buy a car. thank you.
You are worthy of being the master of the courtyard. You see, the civilized courtyard starts with you. As soon as you do good things, won’t I have a car here? But there are still so many young men in the courtyard. You have to be more generous. If you don't have a car, how can you find a wife? I don't want this civilized courtyard anymore. " Ma Teng said the first half of the sentence in a low voice, and probably only Yi Zhonghai could hear it. The second half of the sentence was almost shouted. This was in the middle of the compound, and probably everyone in the front and back yards could hear it.
Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about Ma Teng's words with a confused look on his face, while Ma Teng pushed the car and turned the corner to his home. He looked at it and nodded. He always felt that there was something missing on the door, but there were four more brands. The force grid is full at once, isn’t it?
He took out the key, opened the door, and walked in with the cart.
But when he turned around and saw Yi Zhonghai walking over gloomily with his hands behind his back, Ma Teng smiled and closed the door.
Yi Zhonghai did not reach the door of Ma Teng's courtyard, but heard the sound of Ma Teng closing the door. He stopped, clenched his fists, and turned around to go to Sha Zhu's house.
Ma Teng tied up the car and carefully took down the painting.
Even though it’s only a few dollars now, in the future one apartment will be enough for a house. If you take good care of your body, hey, it’s not impossible for a group of female secretaries behind you to achieve it.
But you have to take care of your health now, otherwise it will be funny if you play too much now and don’t have to play in the future.
Especially don't touch the widow, as it is easy to get unlucky.
After putting the paintings away, he turned around and went out to unload the two baskets from the car.
Put it aside first, take out the three water bottles and put them aside.
Fill the kettle with water and place it on the coal stove.
I moved a small stool and started washing clothes.
Wash it now and hang it to dry so you can wear it tomorrow. Not only do the clothes have to be washed, but the sheets and quilts also have to be taken out and washed.
Oh, it’s very hard.
As time passed, the sound of scrubbing in the courtyard finally stopped.
Looking at the clothes hanging in the yard, I stood up and moved my stiff body.
As for rice, let’s make egg soup with lumps. I bought pots and pans today. I didn’t buy anything else. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.
Let’s just use the pot from yesterday and save the time of boiling it.
I found a big bowl from the basket, brushed it, and added a bowl of water to the pot first, so that there wouldn't be too much rice or too little.
Looking at the eggs, I still decided to eat three, but I collected one in the space to see if the space had any ideas about the eggs. Otherwise, if I collect the eggs into the space in the future, they will become empty shells when they are released. Ma Teng can save them. There are no chicken farms these days, and the eggs are harvested one by one in the countryside.
It's not easy.
After a few minutes, the water boils, pour the batter in, stir it with chopsticks, add eggs into the bowl and stir, watch the noodle soup bubble, and pour it in directly.
A bowl of batter and egg soup would be nice.
I cut a small plate of pickles, but I don’t know why, but my body misses the taste of meat.
He took out the plate of fried food from the space, put some of it into the bowl, and put away the rest.
Now Ma Teng should be considered a beginner in the use of space. There will be no embarrassing things like putting away things on the table, but instead putting away everything nearby.
After eating a few fried pieces, I suppressed my rebellious nerves.
There was a black market at this time, and I didn’t know what it looked like. My original body, Ma Teng, had also been there, but I just walked around the edge of the black market and left after buying something.
But Ma Teng knows the location. It's not far from here. It's near Beixinqiao. It's the largest black market nearby. I heard that the people behind it have great backgrounds, otherwise it wouldn't be able to operate on such a large scale.
