Chapter 64 Uncle Wu (additional update)
Walking to the end of the alley and entering the courtyard, I immediately attracted the attention of adults. There are no strangers entering here. Whenever a stranger comes in, they will ask who they are looking for. There are more than a dozen households in the courtyard, and everyone basically knows them.
Therefore, when strangers enter, they will basically be discovered immediately. This is why the street director said that courtyard rooms are actually better than those with independent doors. Those who stay in the ovary can dry some things outside the house or in the yard without fear of losing them. Strangers who come here may be kicked away if they don't explain what they are doing.
The street office officer had brought Luo Cheng here in the morning, and the newly bought clothes were still in a cloth bag, so anyone who had seen him in the morning could recognize him at a glance.
"Young man, I saw you this morning. You are a new resident. Are you moving here alone today?"
"Yes, hello, sir. It's hot now. I'm a man. I can just wipe the dust off the bed and sleep. It doesn't matter."
"Oh, my surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Kaishan. I am a sheet metal worker at the shipyard. I live directly opposite you. If anything happens in the front yard, you can come to me in the future. What is your name, young man? You look like this, you must have joined the street work Let’s do it for those who are allocated this.”
Looking at Luo Cheng, Wu Kaishan said that those who can live in this courtyard are basically arranged after joining the work. Except for Li Wubao from before, he was a family member of a martyr and was taken care of by his superiors. When Li Wubao was here, although he did not take care of things in the yard, it was really difficult to negotiate collectively if there was no one to agree to it. His prestige was too high, and no one could afford to offend the Wubao households.
There is a steward in the front yard and backyard here. The residents in the yard elect them voluntarily, and no one is incompetent. Garbage and debris piled up in disorder, and conflicts between neighbors in the yard should not be dealt with by the street whenever something goes wrong.
Now, Uncle Wu Kaishan, as the steward recommended by the front yard, naturally wants to test out the new residents. You must know that in the front yard, the best house belongs to him and Li Wubao from before. The main room is the same size, and they are all guest rooms left over from the historical residence.
But Li Wubao's extra room is actually better than Uncle Wu's, because it was built with the help of his son's comrades. Coal-burning stoves were not popular a few years ago, so it was directly built into an integrated kitchen and woodshed. Moreover, when Li Wubao was still in good health, he didn't need to work. He could just walk around and pick up some firewood.
Uncle Wu also has his own kitchen next to his house, but he spent his own money to build it. The area is small, because you can't build it however you want on the free land, and you have to consider other residents. Li Wubao's comrades went directly to the subdistrict office to apply. In addition to Li Wubao's special situation, the application was approved and built on the same day.
Uncle Wu's kitchen is only half the size of Li Wubao's. Because he paid for it himself, the walls are thinner and the kitchen floor has not been treated much.
However, in terms of lighting, Uncle Wu's location is better. Except for the fact that the morning sun cannot shine, it can only reach the front of his house around ten o'clock. But Li Wubao's house had the sun in the morning, but after noon the sun gradually began to disappear. It doesn't matter in the summer, but it's difficult to sit at the door and bask in the sun in the winter.
"Hello, Uncle Wu, my name is Luo Cheng. I just arrived at the machinery factory here to report. Because I am from the town below and have no place to live here, I have been arranged to live here."
"It's from a machine factory. It's a good company. So what do you do in the machine factory?"
"Logistics, Procurement Department. The problem with this house has been solved, so I can officially go to work. I haven't started formal work yet."
Wu Kaishan nodded. He asked everyone who wanted to know. The machinery factory is a good factory in Chang City. Chang City is a southern city with no large industrial factories. Some large factories such as steel mills, steel rolling mills, and military factories are all located in the Northeast. Therefore, except for some large factories that provide people's livelihood, such as textile factories and meat factories, there are very few large-scale factories in cities in the south.
Except for a bicycle factory in the city next door, Jiang Province is full of light industry, with many small factories and a bit of chaos. The machinery factory in Changshi has many workers, so it can be considered a big factory.
However, due to the products produced, the benefits are possible, but the benefits have not been achieved. For machinery production, there are many cooperative units, but if the cooperative units do not expand, they may not purchase your products once a year. Moreover, some mechanical equipment is broken and requires a lot of maintenance and repairs. Unless it is completely damaged, it will not be replaced with a new one.
That is to say, the sales area is wide. Because of the planned production, if there is one machinery manufacturing plant in a region, a second one will not be opened.
I asked about Luo Cheng's family situation and learned that he was married. The daughter-in-law will be brought to live in the city, but the parents will not live with her. Because I just got married and have no children.
Wu Kaishan inquired about this and told Luo Cheng that the pool outside was public, but there was a charge for water. So we have to save water. If anyone is caught wasting water, he will be fined. Especially the one who forgets to turn off the faucet. After saying this, Wu Kaishan said he was going back to eat and said goodbye to Luo Cheng.
"Wasting water? I'm afraid my wife won't come, and I am the most water-saving one."
Luo Cheng murmured in his heart, how much water can a person like him use if he doesn't even change clothes when taking a shower.
When I came to my room, I opened the lock with the key, and there was dust on the table, stools, and bed board. There is not even a rag, but this is a small problem. Take off your top, which is made of cotton. You can just find a place with loose threads and tear it open. A piece of rag comes out, just wet it, wipe it twice on the bed board, and when you lie down on it, your sleeping place is ready.
As for tables and stools, I don’t even have a washbasin. He will go to his work unit tomorrow and ask if he can start work immediately and arrange for him to go to the town to purchase supplies. If that doesn't work, just apply for a trip back to your hometown. After all, you don't have daily necessities, so you have to bring daily necessities and bring your wife here by the way.
This house is big, with brick walls and a big bed. Unlike the house in Luocheng Town, that house is not as big as the kitchen next to it, and it is divided into an inner and outer room. Even though the houses in the town are small, they are still built with large bricks that look like dirt. It's not that the bricks are not solid, but they look like dirt falling off when touched.
This house is so nice now, with brick walls. I will live here in the future. Stand your daughter-in-law against the wall, so you are not afraid of dust falling on her~~.
Luo Cheng patted his head. Yes, he just said that the brick wall would not shed dust. He had no other ideas. I am a mountain person with simple thoughts.
However, this house has electric lights. Although the brightness is not very strong, the sense of light and the hazy feeling~~, eh, as expected, in the future era, people who are more educated will know the elegant word "zheng".
Hey, in fact, it is just that I have just experienced a relationship between a man and a woman, and it is normal for me to suddenly not be with my wife for a few days. When I am alone, I think about some uncivilized things.
