The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 58, start of work

The next day, Monday.

Li Weiguo got up early and went to wait for Hong An outside the gate of the courtyard in advance.

Although there are now more than a dozen families living in the courtyard, it is difficult for outsiders to come in without an acquaintance to guide them.

So Li Weiguo came out early to make contact, just to avoid misunderstandings when people came later.

At half past seven, Hong An arrived with several of his big workers.

Hong An took the lead, followed by three men, pushing a cart from the alley entrance. There was also a cart of stuff on the cart, and they soon arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

Li Weiguo greeted everyone, took out one from the front door and handed one to each of them, and then led them into the hospital.

At this time, everyone was rushing to work and the courtyard was the busiest. Several strange men suddenly came in with various tools in their hands, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The uncle who was just about to go out saw so many people coming in. He stopped Li Weiguo out of curiosity and asked, "Weiguo, what is going on?"

"Hey, isn't this my house? I had a decorator come over yesterday to have a look at it, and I'm going to start construction today. This house has all kinds of problems over the years, and it can't be lived in without repairs." Li Weiguo smiled and told everyone explained.

It's just a house repair, nothing unusual. People have to repair this kind of old house every year, so everyone didn't ask much, they were all in a hurry to go to work.

After dismissing the curious people, Li Weiguo brought Hong An and the other four to his house and led them inside.

At this time, the room had been cleaned up by the Yan brothers and was completely empty.

All the clothes and daily necessities from home were brought to Shazhu's house, and all other things were piled in the corner outside, covered with a tarpaulin.

After taking Hong An and others around, he explained the construction requirements to everyone, then handed the site over to Hong An, then pushed the bicycle and went out to work.

West gate of the steel rolling mill.

It just so happened that my master was on duty today, and the one on guard was Han Dayou. In the duty room, his master, Wang Zhenhai, was chatting with Xu Dong.

Li Weiguo parked the car next to him and stuck his head through the small window of the duty room: "Hey, Master, Brother Dong, what are you talking about, are you so excited?"

"Hey, you kid, you can't come in through the front door if you don't behave properly?" Wang Zhenhai pointed at Li Weiguo with a smile.

Xu Dong also laughed and said: "That's right, when such a big stock grows, it still looks like a child."

Li Weiguo smiled when he heard this, quickly took his head back, walked around from the duty room to the main entrance, parked the car and walked in.

Walking to Wang Zhenhai, he took out a lunch box from his bag and put it on the table: "Master, this is the breakfast I brought for you."

The lunch box was opened, and there were two steamed buns and two eggs inside. He had made them in advance in the space, and they were still warm when he took them out.

"I told you to just eat it yourself and bring it to me every day," Wang Zhenhai said helplessly.

The apprentice is good and filial, but he is so incompetent that I don't know how much money he will have left in a month.

"Master, don't worry, can I still be hungry for a big man like me?" Li Weiguo laughed and took another steamed bun from his bag and handed it to Xu Dong.

Xu Dong was not polite. He took it and ate it: "Uncle Wang, why do you worry about him? You see, he eats fine grains every now and then. He is not lacking in this at all. Don't worry about eating."

Li Weiguo's living standard is not known to others, but Xu Dong knows that he is on duty with Wang Zhenhai every day. He sends things to Old Man Wang every now and then, and he can also benefit from it.

"That's what I say, but you still have to save when you need to. I don't do physical work, so there is no need to eat so well."

Wang Zhenhai shook his head helplessly, took out some tea leaves from the drawer and put it into the enamel jar, preparing to make himself a cup of tea.

"Master, let me do it." Li Weiguo took the water cup from his hand, took the thermos kettle, and poured hot water into it.

As soon as the hot water is brewed, the aroma in the tea cup is extraordinary.

Li Weiguo sniffed and asked: "Master, what kind of tea is this, so delicious?"

"Haha, this is 'high breaking'." Wang Zhenhai laughed, and then said: "If you want it, there are still two taels in the drawer, take them all."

"Gao Sha" is also called "Gao Mo" and also called labor protection tea.

It is a kind of tea unique to BJ in the old days. It is actually the powdered tea leaves sifted out when tea shops are sifting tea.

This kind of powder is discarded and useless in other places, but in the old days, it was a very popular raw material for tea drinks among the poor.

In this era of limited material supply, tea is very rare. Old BJ will also use high-cut tea when entertaining guests. This is already a very rare tea.

"Forget it, you can keep it for yourself. I'll get you some high-end tea later." Li Weiguo shook his head and did not ask for this tea.

Such a small amount is not enough to drink a few times, forget it.

If you have space on your hands, how can you still drink tea? Are you kidding me? Once I get the seeds, I'm sure to plant dozens of them.

After coming out of the duty room, Li Weiguo rode his car back to the security department office building to click.

After walking into the office of the picket unit and saying hello to everyone, Li Weiguo sat down and started working on today's work.

Although there are usually no big cases in a large factory like a steel rolling mill, there are a lot of trivial things, whether it's a dispute or a violation.

After working for almost an hour, I finished processing the case report in my hand.

Stretching, Li Weiguo shouted to security guard Zou Ting: "Zou Ting, I have finished processing these transcripts and case reports. You can send them to Section Chief Dong." As he said this, he handed over a stack of documents in his hand.

Now that Dong Jianjun is in charge, he is basically in charge of all the work of the security department, so the documents must be reviewed and signed by him, and finally signed by the tool man Sun Yucheng.

"Okay, Chief." Zou Ting took the document, turned around and went out to deliver it.

After finishing his work, Li Weiguo got up and walked to the kitchen. He had to prepare lunch for Hong An and others.

According to the rules, when people come to work at home, the host has to provide lunch. No matter how good it is, at least it must be enough for them to eat.

The factory issued a fixed meal ticket every month, and Li Weiguo didn't have much, so he had to bring his own food and vegetables if he wanted help in the kitchen.

Walking to a corner outside the back kitchen, with a thought, he took out a small basket from the space, which contained 5 pounds of 85 noodles, three or four heads of cabbage and a pound of fatty pork.

Since we are letting people do the work, we don’t want to let people eat poorly. We can make more steamed buns, and if we can’t finish them, we can just put them in the space and eat them slowly.

Li Weiguo did not go through the front door, but went directly through the back door of the kitchen with a basket in hand.

A group of people in the kitchen are busy washing and picking vegetables and making preparations.

Silly Zhu, on the other hand, was holding an enamel vat, sitting there like a wealthy landowner, humming a tune and drinking tea.

He is the master chef of Yi Zao. He usually does not need to do the tasks of washing, picking and chopping vegetables. He just sits and waits for the cooking. The other tasks are handled by apprentices and assistant cooks.

"Brother Zhu, are you busy?" Li Weiguo approached and shouted.

"Hey, Wei Guo is here, are your things ready?" Silly Zhu looked at the things he was carrying.

"Well, it's all here. There's a pound of fat in it. You can keep half a pound for yourself. Everything else is done."

Li Weiguo placed the basket at the feet of Silly Pillar, and gave the cook only half a catty. Each person could have a bite or two, which was considered a sweetness. No more would be enough.

"Okay, just come over and get it later." Silly Zhu made an OK gesture to express his peace of mind.
