"I shouted and split my throat. I only made one or two yuan. You earned 10 yuan in one afternoon? Where can I make sense?" Lu Xu glared at his eyes, as if someone had robbed his money.

Qin Dong ignored him and rode his bicycle forward, "Go to reason with Director Xiong."

"Hey, wait for me, tell me, how do you know the temperature is low?" Lu Xuguang rode a few laps and rushed up. "No, I will not be able to go to the National Cotton Factory tomorrow, I will go to work, I will follow the rules, I will also... Hey, Qin Dong, when did you learn this skill? Why don't I know? Can you control the trademark improperness..."

...

The sky gradually darkened, the street lights lit up one after another, and the entire city was dotted with sparks, and a sea of ​​lights.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and before they could see the lights dimmed and the building disappeared. Through the dim lights, they could see a large black bungalow in front of them.

Zhongjiawa.

In fact, this place is also considered a city, but it is more like a countryside. Even when I first named it, I felt inferior and I dare not call it the street, the li, the alley, but it was called "wa", because it was steamed in a drought and the weather was soaked in rainy days, which seemed out of place with this city.

"Mom, my brother-in-law broke the light again!" Lu Xuguang cursed. Several street lights on the street were broken again, and even if they were replaced with new light bulbs, they would finish playing in the whole day.

"Where do you have a brother-in-law?" Qin Dong laughed.

"It's still in my mother-in-law's belly." Lu Xuguang was also unambiguous.

The bicycle made a "dribbling" sound, and the bluestone slabs paved at the intersection were already bumpy, with corners and edges. The twisted alleys were lined with low and dilapidated old bungalows, with uneven heights and lows. Each alley was full of rags, mixing and mixing.

"Why did you come back?" Riding into a courtyard, a woman in her thirties came up and asked softly, "Qin Nan, your brother is back and has dinner."

"I've been practicing with Xu Guang." Qin Dong shouted. He took the towel handed over by his sister Qin Nan and wiped his face, "Eat!"

This is his home after he was reborn!

There are five or six households living in this courtyard, and it is common for a family of four to live in about ten square meters.

It's just the order for food. The yard is full of people, one person is a small stove, and many people also light honeycomb coal stoves for cooking, which makes the temperature in the PF area several degrees higher than the streets outside.

"Brother, I'm so hungry, Sister Zhi insists on waiting for her to come back before she can have a meal..."

The family has a total of three people, Liu Zhi, to be precise, is the stepmother of him and his sister Qin Nan. Unfortunately, the chef's father left last year and left them with the brother and sister, but the stepmother stayed with various eyes.

Although she is strictly a stepmother, she is too young. He and his sister Qin Nan both called her Sister Zhi.

For dinner, as usual, cornmeal porridge, steamed buns and shrimp paste, and shrimp paste was served. It was too salty. Qin Dong felt that after only three days of eating, his mouth was blistered.

"Brother, I don't want to go to school anymore..." Qin Nan whispered while biting his chopsticks.

Hmm?

"The school asked me to pay the education surcharge. Besides, I am not a good study material. I want to sleep as soon as I started class..." The voice was not loud, and the neighbors still heard it, and there was another burst of laughter in the yard.

Qin Dong also smiled. This sister is really not a material for learning. However, if she drops out of school, she is now a bottle washer, and he can't even solve Qin Nan's job.

"You can't drop out of school," Liu Zhi said in a very firm sentence, but he was not confident in the next sentence. "How much does it cost?" She had no intention of having a meal.

"One piece of six." Qin Nan murmured, leaning on the chopsticks, listless.

"One piece of six!" Liu Zhi was also worried. The food, clothing, and flowers at home all pointed to Qin Dong's salary of 32 yuan.

"Where are you just having a meal?" The three of them were discussing. Qin Dong was about to speak when he walked into a girl from outside the door. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pigtail, holding a pack of scattered biscuits in her hand.

"Sister Orange." Qin Nan's eyes immediately showed a bright look, and he took the pony stool and handed it to the girl diligently.

"This is divided by our factory, and my mother asked me to send it here." Du Xiaoju put the biscuits on the dining table. She was an accountant of the biscuit factory and smiled very brightly. This dilapidated and dark courtyard seemed to be lit up immediately.

"Xiao Ju, have you eaten?" Liu Zhi asked softly, her eyes lit up, and she pulled in a mess for a while. Until the people in the yard came to the entrance of the alley and enjoyed the cool on the road, she asked carefully, "Xiao Ju, discuss something with you. Xiao Nan wants to pay the education surcharge. Do you still have money..."

"How much?" Du Xiaoju smiled, and she reached into her pocket, "I still have two dollars. Is it enough? I'm not enough to go home to get it."

"Enough, enough," Liu Zhi expressed gratitude in her uneasy expression, "Look, our family...ah, the money I borrowed you a few days ago has not been paid back, your mother won't tell you..."

Du Xiaoju smiled and shook her head.

"I'll pay it back when I work." Qin Nan diligently grabbed Du Xiaoyue's arm, "I'll hang myself for a hundred years and will not change. Whoever changes is a bastard."

"Sister Zhi, I forgot," at this time, Qin Dong took out the 10 yuan from his pocket, then took out a ticket and a few pounds from another pocket, "I gave a 10 yuan bonus today, so I don't have to borrow money from Xiaoju."

"A bonus of 10 yuan?" Someone from the neighbor came over with a palm fan, "The brewery has good performance, but the New Year is still paying bonuses."

"No," Qin Dong smiled, "I repaired the bottle washing machine today, and the award will be given according to the factory regulations."

"You can also repair machines?" the neighbor smiled, "Okay, there has been progress. Haven't you only been working for three months?"

"What's wrong with three months?" Qin Nan immediately took over the words, "My brother is amazing. If you can repair it, you can earn 10 yuan."

"Any girl, I know who is close to whom..." Several neighbors laughed kindly. Men were wearing big shorts and shirtless, women were wearing shorts and shaking their palm-leaf fans in short sleeves, and went out one after another to enjoy the cool air at the entrance of the alley.

"Well, my grandfather used to be the chief engineer of Qin Beer..." A sentence floated in outside the door, and slowly drifted away again.

Liu Zhi carefully took the money. She turned out to be the waiter at Qin Dong's father's restaurant. She still has a rural household registration and can't do the job in the restaurant anymore. Now she can only sew and repair it at home.

"Qin Dong, you can do it, you can repair machines." Du Xiaoju's eyes were full of energy, "Why didn't I hear you say? Who did you learn from?" Her voice was like her smile, gentle and pleasant, making people feel inexplicably better.

Qin Dong said seriously, "It still needs to be learned. I don't know anything about the brewery. It's a piece of cake to repair machines."

"Just blow." But even though he said that, Du Xiaoju's eyes still smiled like crescent moons, which looked very beautiful.
