Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

She picked up her things and said, "Let's go. I have something else to do. If there is any news here, I will have someone notify you as soon as possible."

Li Feng unloaded the coke to Li Village, and the village chief of Li Village brought back a truckload of firewood. Niu Dali parked the truck, and Xiao Wen arranged for people to unload the truck.

He and Niu Dali found a shady place to sit down and watch.

At this time, Director Zhang came over and said, "Hey, Gousheng, where did you get the firewood?"

Xiao Wen had just finished making arrangements and came over, so she told Director Zhang what happened. Director Zhang said, "Hey, this Old Li! OK, I got it."

Niu Dali looked around boredly, and was stunned when he saw a girl coming from behind Director Zhang. He ran over and said, "Sister Fengqin, why are you here?"

Ding Fengqin was startled by Niu Dali who suddenly ran over. After seeing that it was him, she said unhappily, "Is it not okay for me to come and take a look because I'm curious?"

Niu Dali knew that he had frightened Ding Fengqin, so he scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, Fengqin, I frightened you. By the way, my junior brother is here too, do you want to come over and talk?"

Ding Fengqin looked at Li Gousheng, then thought of the other person and said, "No, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll be back soon."

Director Zhang was also startled by Niu Dali's sudden escape. He saw him go to the girl he had met in the office and asked, "Gou Sheng, do you know him?"

"Oh, I know him, but not very well."

Ding Fengqin heard this and came over angrily and said, "Hey, little brother, you're not familiar with me after not seeing me for a few days?"

Li Feng said speechlessly: "How dare I! I just want to keep some distance from you to avoid misunderstandings."

Director Zhang took one look and thought: There’s something fishy here!

"Gousheng, is this your sister?"

"I guess so. She is my master's daughter, a little older than me. Whenever she sees me, she likes to call me little brother."

Director Zhang nodded and said, "She is here to look for a job today. As you know, job vacancies are very tight right now. If she doesn't have connections, she probably won't be able to get a job for a year or two!"

After hearing this, Ding Fengqin was stunned.

"Gousheng, do you want me to arrange for her to work on the street?"

"Ah? No need, Aunt Zhang. This is not good for you at this critical moment."

Ding Fengqin was so happy after hearing what Director Zhang said. She didn't expect to be rejected by Li Gousheng. When she was about to get angry, she heard Director Zhang say, "Hey, it doesn't affect me. After all, we are family. Even if others offer money to beg me, I won't care."

"By the way, girl, what's your name? Give me your diploma, too."

Ding Fengqin then realized that Director Zhang had never intended to give her a job and didn't even ask for her name and address!

She looked at Li Gousheng and her heart began to become complicated. She told him her information.

Director Zhang said, "Okay, I'll get it done for you, then you can go find Director Wang. You and she can take care of some street affairs, which will be much better than this."

Time flies and a month has passed. Li Feng and Niu Dali both looked much more haggard, but they were both considered good. The others were even more exhausted.

These people no longer have the passion and motivation they had a month ago. Now they have become numb. No one can stand working day and night. Many of them are so tired that they can fall asleep by lying on the ground. I heard that in other streets, people are so tired and sleepy that they dive directly into the steel furnace.

During this period, many people's clothes were torn beyond recognition, their toes were exposed from their shoes, and everyone was so smoke-stained and burnt that they looked like beggars.

The cafeteria also changed from the big steamed buns and meat to steamed corn bread and cornmeal porridge that was so thick that you could see your reflection in it. The sweet potatoes that were once despised are no longer seen!

Director Zhang was transferred half a month ago, and Xiaowen went with him. After they left, Director Wang came here. Li Feng didn't expect that Ding Fengqin followed Director Wang every day.

The previous voluntary submission of scrap iron was changed to a requirement that each household must submit a certain amount of scrap iron.

Just like that, those who had been careful before were able to hand in the scrap metal, and those who handed in everything had no choice but to hand in their pots, iron spoons, padlocks, etc. Without pots, they had to cook in casseroles.

When Jia Zhang saw that the food in the village was not good, she ran back. After she came back, Qin Huairu could no longer work in the street canteen, so she was sent back by Jia Zhang again.

Li Feng didn't care. After Qin Huairu left, he felt a lot more relaxed. During this period, Qin Huairu sent him some underwear. He was relieved when he found that they were not red.

Niu Dali lay on the sack and said, "Hey! Junior brother, has the factory forgotten us? When can we go back to the factory?"

"Now that we've bald up all the mountains, I guess there's nothing left to scoop up, right?"

At this time, Ding Fengqin came over, handed each of them a small popsicle and said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Feng said: "It's nothing. I haven't showered for a long time! My body stinks. Now when I eat popsicles, they smell like smoke and sulfur!"

Ding Fengqin sighed and said, "Hey! Indeed, get up, let's go get some food, the canteen is out of food!"

Li Feng threw away the popsicle and said, "Brother, I have something to do tomorrow. Is it okay for you to go alone?"

"Hey, what's the problem? Just go ahead and do your work."

Ding Fengqin asked curiously: "Little brother, where are you going tomorrow?"

"A brother in my courtyard is getting married, so I'd like to help him." He actually just wanted to be lazy.

"Oh, by the way, tell Qin Huairu that her salary will be paid tomorrow, and ask her to go to the street office to collect it. If she doesn't have time, you can collect it for her."

"Forget it, let her take it herself. It's her business how much it is. What if I give her five dollars and she asks for fifty from me?"

"Haha, you are so interesting, who would be so boring!"

"You've all finished eating, come on, hurry up and bring the food back, or else it'll be a mess if you don't have enough food to cook!"

Ding Fengqin smiled and said, "Haha, don't worry, the cafeteria still has enough food for one or two meals! Let's go."

After work, Li Feng did not return to the courtyard, but went directly to the rental house. His main purpose was to take the marrow cleansing pill. He had been exposed to smoke recently and felt very uncomfortable. He had better clean it up quickly to avoid any problems.

The bathtub was ready, he took off all his clothes, and swallowed the low-grade marrow cleansing pill. Well, it didn't have any special taste, but at least it wasn't unpalatable.

He waited for a long time, but there was no response, which made him speechless for a while. If he had known there would be no response, he would have eaten it long ago. Novels are all lies. How could he be covered in black mud?

It won’t expire, right? That’s not possible. Time is still in space, so there is no such thing as expiration.
