Chapter V Private Work

Li Heng understood what the webmaster meant.

You can choose your target, but you must not act randomly, otherwise your reputation will be ruined if you are not careful.

Is he that kind of person?

Of course not. There may be times when I secretly talk nonsense, but I am definitely not the kind of person who does nonsense.

The two of them chatted in the office until it was time for lunch. Stationmaster Zhang then took a lunch box of food and went home, while Li Heng sat in the cafeteria and finished five large steamed buns in one go, filling the lunch box.

The food was so delicious that everyone around him was drooling. Even the leader of the cooking class, Li, thought that he suddenly had an idea and made the food more delicious.

Walking out of the cafeteria, I burped with satisfaction and felt refreshed.

Just like what the webmaster said just now, I have a job, a pretty good salary, and I have a house. Although several families live in one compound, in this era, this is already a very good house. As for the unit building? Just think about it.

Well, there aren't many in the whole forty-nine cities, so how could it be his turn to live there.

Moreover, living in a unit building today may not be as comfortable as a courtyard house.

Rather than saying it is a unit building, it is better to say that it is a building. The area of ​​the house is not large, most of them are about 20 square meters. The toilets are washed outside, and a floor is shared by more than a dozen households. The kitchen is

No, the stove is always placed in the corridor at the door of the house, and cooking is done outside.

When you come back from get off work, another family is cooking at the stove. If you want to go over, you have to let them make way for you.

The height of the house is not as high as that of a house in a courtyard house, at least it has higher ceilings.

In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but now apartment buildings with bathrooms and kitchens in the house are beginning to be built. There are many people who are eager to get a room. Those like him who have no feet have to queue up.

Can't even get in line.

What else does he lack now? Haha, he lacks nothing except his wife, but this is what gives him the biggest headache.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, there must be a road to the mountain. At worst, you can just turn around and ask someone to introduce you. Not everyone is like this.

Wandering to the guard room at the gate, Lao Zheng and I moved stools and sat outside the house, smoking cigarettes and playing chess, which had a different flavor.

"Are you going to stay with me in this courtyard from now on?"

"That's not possible. I've packed up my house today and will move back in in two days. Then you will be the only one left in this yard after get off work in the evening."

"Your home? I haven't heard you say that. I thought you were not from Sijiu City." Lao Zheng picked up the chess and was about to play. He was a little surprised when he heard Li Heng's words.

"Well, that's not true. My family only arrived in Sijiu City in 1947, and I immediately went to the army. No, I just came back at the beginning of the month."

"Who else is at home?"

"No, I'm the only one left. You should know about the explosion last November."

"Of course I know, why, your family..."

"Yes, my father and my brother died on the spot. That's why I came back."

"Huh... I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to you, boy. Alas, it's time and destiny. Please be more open-minded, Er Heng."

"Don't worry, old man. I'm keeping my mind open. Everyone is gone. No matter what I do, they won't come back. Instead of torturing myself, it's better to live a good life so that their spirits in heaven can be relieved."

"My enemy, that's how it should be. The dead have passed away, but the living must move forward."

"Old man, why don't you find someone? Are you going to live like this alone?"

"Oh~ don't mention this, let's play chess and play chess."

Li Heng raised his eyes and looked at Lao Zheng. This old man is also a man with stories.

But that's right, there are a few people who came from the turbulent times and have no stories to tell.

Since they didn't want to talk, he stopped asking and started playing chess seriously.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, the headlights outside the doorman's room had been turned on, and the two people's enthusiasm for fighting on the chessboard was still unabated. The two stinky chess baskets met and they had a good time. This has been the case for the past few days.

.

Suddenly, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, accompanied by a cry: "Old Zheng, Old Zheng."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment. It's already past eight o'clock and there's still someone coming?

He glanced up, and when he saw Lao Zheng's embarrassed expression, he instantly realized something.

He threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and stood up: "Okay, go and open the door. I'm entering the house."

After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone's reaction and walked straight to the office.

What else could he be doing at this late hour? It must be to pick up some stuff at night when no one comes over, and Lao Zheng can also use this time to make some extra money.

But he believed that this kind of thing wouldn't happen too much, maybe once, twice or three times a month at most.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. He doesn't need to be the bad guy, he can just pretend that he doesn't know about it.

Old Zheng looked at Li Heng's back blankly. He didn't expect that this new deputy webmaster was actually a wonderful person!

The brain reacts quickly enough and can think of what is going on in an instant.

The man outside the door was still knocking on the door, but his voice was no longer as loud as before.

"Come on, come on, stop knocking."

Lao Zheng limped over slowly and opened the small door on the main door.

Standing at the door of "Lao Zheng" was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Lao Zheng, he handed him a few packs of cigarettes and then walked in.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the light in the stationmaster's office was on, which startled him.

"Is your leader here? Then don't say anything. I'll come back next time." After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Okay, okay, you go find something quickly. That's our newly assigned deputy webmaster. He lives in the office. Please hurry up. Today is a maximum of thirty or forty minutes. It can't be any longer."

"Ah? Lao Zheng, are you really okay?"

"Go as soon as I ask you to go, what's wrong with mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Hey, aren't I worried about hurting you?"

"Go quickly." Lao Zheng waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged man to quickly find what he needed, and he closed the small door casually.

Seeing that he was not joking, the middle-aged man took out a flashlight from his bag and ran towards the back where the waste was piled.

Lao Zheng stood at the gate, lit another cigarette for himself, and looked at the stationmaster's office.

After more than ten days of contact, he always felt that this deputy station commander was not simple, and he did not look like a simple cadre with a battalion-level background.

No matter the way he talks or the insights he occasionally reveals during chatting, he doesn't look like ordinary people.

When he was young, he also served as a guard for some high-ranking officials. He saw a lot of the world and met a lot of high-ranking officials, but Li Heng was like a mist in his eyes, and he couldn't see clearly.

well.
