The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 18, Bet

The next day, eight o'clock.

According to the duty schedule, Li Weiguo, Zhang Tai and Uncle Wang are on duty at the west gate.

Early in the morning, Zhang Tai and I received the guns together, and then went to the west gate to hand over to the morning shift clerk.

The first guard in the morning was Li Weiguo. Without saying a word, he went to the guard box with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

Time passed, and two and a half hours passed quickly. Zhang Tai still did not go to change the guard, but sat in the duty room leisurely drinking tea.

By this time, Li Weiguo knew that Zhang Tai, the birdman, was going to do something again.

Ever since Zhang Biao put the two of them into a team, they have been fighting each other for a month.

A shift lasts 8 hours, and the two guards generally rotate for 2 hours each by default, each standing for 4 hours.

Ever since Zhang Tai formed a team with him, he had to do something about it. Of course, Li Weiguo didn't like him either.

You hold me for half an hour on this shift, and I will hold you on for half an hour on the next shift.

Let's see who can outlast whom, hurting each other.

Soon, the time exceeded 3 hours, it was already past 11 o'clock, and the temperature gradually increased.

The guard, Uncle Wang, couldn't stand it anymore.

The two of them had been fighting each other for half an hour and didn't say anything.

It has been 3 hours now, which is too much. People need to go to the toilet, and standing guard for too long will be harmful to the body.

Uncle Wang was in his fifties and still had a bad temper. He walked up to Zhang Tai and kicked him to the ground.

He cursed angrily: "What a shame, why don't you go and change the guard? Why are you here hatching eggs?"

Zhang Tai covered his waist, climbed up, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't this more training for new comrades? Let's go now, go now, haha."

Zhang Taike didn't dare to provoke Uncle Wang, who was the master who fought on the battlefield.

As long as the old brothers around him are still alive, they are at least at the level of a college student at this moment.

Uncle Wang not only has a strong background, but also has great skills. He is a descendant of Twelve Tan Kou.

If he hadn't been shot in the leg and was lame, beating Zhang Tai 10 times would have been a joke.

It was Uncle Wang who was watching, and Zhang Tai had always been reluctant to go too far.

Not daring to say anything, Zhang Tai ran to the post obediently and completed the handover of guns and posts with Li Weiguo.

In June and July, the weather was hot and dry. Li Weiguo stood for more than three hours. His back was soaked with sweat and his mouth was dry.

As soon as I entered the duty room, I poured myself a large jar of water.

Put down the enamel jar, unbutton your shirt, sit down and rest.

Uncle Wang pointed at Li Weiguo and said with a smile: "You are a tough guy. You have been punished by Zhang Biao and Zhang Tai for so long and you still refuse to admit defeat."

"Hey, they have such three-legged cat skills, and they still want to punish me. It's not that I look down on them, they don't have any technical content." Li Weiguo said disdainfully.

After that, he took out the big front door from his pocket, handed one to Uncle Wang, and then took one himself.

"To put it nicely, isn't it better to just stand and be beaten without being able to fight back?" Uncle Wang took the cigarette and watched Li Weiguo fire off the cannon with great interest.

Li Weiguo struck a match and lit it for Uncle Wang, and at the same time argued: "Hey, look at what you said, why do you just stand and get beaten? If he is delaying my time now, won't he have to pay it back later?"

Uncle Wang took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and said leisurely: "I can't say for sure. After all, my cousin is the section chief. Maybe he just happened to be here on patrol, so that someone can't return it. Woolen cloth?"

After striking a match and lighting it for himself, Li Weiguo thought for a while, touched his head, nodded and said, "Tsk, that's right."

The look of a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water made Uncle Wang laugh out loud.

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him helplessly and said, "You are always smoking my cigarettes and gloating about my misfortune. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I can't help it, it's just my hobby, hahaha," Uncle Wang said with a smile.

This old man likes to make jokes whenever he has nothing to do, and he acts like an old kid.

Seeing Uncle Wang's appearance, Li Weiguo became more energetic and said: "Hey, I'll pay him back today, double it. Don't talk about his brother, it won't be easy for his father to come. You Do you believe it or not?"

"I do not believe!"

"Are you sure you don't believe it?"

"I'm sure you don't believe it!"

Li Weiguo directly enlarged his move: "Okay, let's make a bet. Today I will ask Zhang Tai to stand for four hours at a time. It's over, I still have nothing to do."

Then he said: "If I lose, you can make any conditions. If you win, you can accept me as your disciple and teach me your Twelve-Road Tan Kung Fu. How about that?"

Uncle Wang became interested after hearing this. He looked at Li Weiguo to make sure he was not joking.

The old kid's temper also rose: "Okay, if you can do it, I will not only accept you as a disciple and teach you the Twelve Ways of Tan Kou, but I will even divide my muscles and bones and wrap my dragon's hand together to teach you!"

The muscles and bones are divided and the dragon's hand is entangled?

Wudang Xuanzhen Divine Sword Sect’s secret skill?

Oh, I usually have nothing to do, and I keep listening to Xu Dong bragging about Uncle Wang's legs. I didn't expect that he has a secret skill that is the best in the box, and now it exploded.

"You said this, let's high-five as an oath." Li Weiguo raised his palms and said.

"Hey, if you still don't believe me, just give me a high five." Uncle Wang stretched out his palm and said stubbornly.

"Snapped!"

After high-fiving, Li Weiguo said: "Sure, just sit back and wait and see."

Li Weiguo was calm on the surface, but in fact he was ecstatic inside, and finally deceived this old boy into taking the bait.

In the past, I kept making insinuations and asking this old boy whether he would accept a disciple, but he was vague every time.

This time I finally caught him.

Soon, it was twelve o'clock and it was time to have lunch.

Li Weiguo took Uncle Wang's lunch box and went to the cafeteria to get some food.

At this time, Xiao Wu, deputy director Li's secretary, was already waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Seeing Li Weiguo coming, he ran over diligently.

Said: "Comrade Li Weiguo, the reception room in the first canteen is ready. You can take a seat at any time. Director Li will be there in a moment."

Li Weiguo picked up the lunch box in his hand and said, "I want to bring a meal back to my master first, otherwise he will starve after eating for a long time."

Secretary Xiao Wu asked doubtfully: "Who is your master?"

"Hey, it's Uncle Wang, the doorman." Li Weiguo explained with a smile.

Secretary Xiao Wu suddenly understood and looked at Li Weiguo with great respect.

Others don't know what Uncle Wang is doing, how can they, the secretary, know?

They know the personnel situation of each department in the entire factory as well as the personnel department.

Before arranging today's reception, Deputy Director Li told him to be polite to Li Weiguo.

From now on, as long as it is not an excessive matter, anyone who can help will help him solve it.

At first, he had Li Weiguo, a relative of Deputy Factory Director Li, but he didn't expect that he was actually Uncle Wang's apprentice.

So Xiao Wu suggested: "Otherwise, the kitchen will prepare a lot of small stove dishes today. I can just decorate them for Uncle Wang and take them back, so I don't have to queue up."

After thinking about it, Li Weiguo nodded in agreement and treated it as borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Give the lunch box to Xiao Wu and let him go in to load the food.

After a while, Xiao Wu came back with a lunch box and handed it to him, reminding him to go back quickly as the dinner was about to start.

He nodded and took it, and with a quick glance, he saw that one lunch box was full of meat and vegetables, and the other lunch box contained two white flour steamed buns.

Carrying the lunch box, he returned to the duty room, put it in front of Uncle Wang, and said, "Master, someone is treating you today. I will take you to have a nice meal, hehe."

Uncle Wang rolled his eyes: "Hey, you haven't won yet, Master's call is too early."

"Just wait and see." Li Weiguo said confidently.

There was no need to delay after delivering the lunch boxes, so he went straight to the cafeteria.

Reception room 203 on the second floor of the first cafeteria.

Deputy Director Li asked Li Weiguo to sit down.

Braised pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried rabbit, couple's lung slices, seaweed and egg soup, four vegetables and one soup. In this time of shortage of supplies, this is a very high standard.

Deputy Factory Director Li personally poured wine for Li Weiguo, raised his glass and said: "Thank you Brother Weiguo for the support from our brother unit. I also ask Brother Weiguo to say more kind words to you in the future. I thank you here." , do it first as a courtesy.”

He said and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Weiguo also raised his glass and said: "Don't worry, I am also from our steel rolling factory. Can you not think about our factory?"

After drinking, the two of them took out their chopsticks.

After eating for only two minutes, Li Weiguo suddenly said: "Oh, I still have to stand guard. If I don't go back for a long time, that guy Zhang Tai will definitely sue me."

How could Deputy Director Li not understand when he heard this?

He nodded, called Xiao Wu in, and said: "Xiao Wu, brother Wei Guo can help me temporarily. Regarding standing guard, let Zhang Tai stand first. Brother Wei Guo will go back and take over after I finish my work." Him. Go and tell Uncle Wang and Zhang Tai." He winked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded, understanding in his heart, and turned around to inform.

As soon as Xiao Wu left, the two of them continued drinking.

After drinking until 2 p.m., Deputy Director Li had to go back to the office at Xiao Wu's reminder.

After all, he, a deputy factory director, has a lot to do every day, so just drink it at night, but drinking for too long at noon is not appropriate.

After the waiter in the cafeteria cleared away the tables, Li Weiguo lay down in the reception room to rest.

The time for the bet with Uncle Wang has not come yet, so don’t rush back and just lie down for a while.
