Chapter 451 He Daqing Returns 2
Xu Damao didn't know how, but he persuaded He Daqing to go back with him to No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. Originally, Xu Damao planned to take He Daqing back that afternoon.
Unfortunately, the train schedule would not wait for them. There was only one train a day between Sijiucheng and Baocheng, and it would leave at around 10 in the morning.
The two had no choice but to buy train tickets for tomorrow. Now, they could only find a hotel near the train station to stay.
The next morning, after Xu Damao and He Daqing had breakfast, they went to the platform early to wait for the train to Sijiucheng.
Yan Jiecheng, on the other hand, had already arrived at the warehouse of the steel mill early. At this moment, he was sweating profusely as he unloaded the goods in the warehouse.
Yes, he lost his job as a warehouse manager after the steel mill criticized him and his family in the courtyard. He was taken away by Zhao Qiming, a new employee in the logistics department of the steel mill, and a small struggle session was held for him in the logistics department.
Yan Jiecheng lost all his face and dignity this time, and ended up doing the hardest and most tiring work in logistics.
The work of loader is the hardest at any time, when forklifts are not available. It is second only to the dumping workshop in the steel mill.
It's only been less than a week, and Yan Jiecheng is starting to feel like he can't hold on any longer. This job is simply not for humans. This is Yan Jiecheng's truest thought at the moment.
Thinking back to the past, I sat at the door of the warehouse, sitting on a chair, leisurely drinking tea with a cup in hand, watching people coming in and out. It's a pity that such a good day will no longer exist in the future.
These days, Yan Jiecheng would go home from get off work, eat dinner, lie down on the bed and fall asleep immediately. He didn't even have the mood to do that with his wife.
"Jiecheng, what happened to you these two days? After coming back from the factory, you fell asleep immediately. Are you sick? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Yu Li, who had not had any nourishment for several days, looked at Yan Jiecheng who had just woken up and was about to go to work, and asked with concern.
They say that people are like wolves at 30 and tigers at 40, and she is at this age now. Now, she hasn't eaten meat for a week, how can she not miss it?
"Oh, it's nothing, don't ask. I'm going to work."
At this moment, Yan Jiecheng, who didn't know what was going on, thought that his new leader from the logistics department was a new official who was just starting out. And he just happened to be in the crossfire because of the smuggling case.
After a while, when the limelight of this incident has passed, I will buy some cigarettes and alcohol, go to Zhao Qiming's house, admit my mistake to the leader, and then I can return to my original position.
But unfortunately, when the layoff list of the steel mill came out the next year, his name was on it. He still didn't understand how he had offended the new director Zhao.
Yan Jiecheng went to work at the steel mill early. In a large factory with more than 10,000 people, as long as you want to do logistics work, you will have to move a lot of things every day.
In Baocheng, Xu Damao also took the white-haired He Daqing on his way home. After all, he was over seventy years old, which was considered a long life in this era.
It is said that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. This is really true. Not to mention, the animals in this courtyard are quite durable.
At the Jia family in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang was cursing at the Yi Zhonghai family at the door of her house. If you understand lip reading, you can tell that there is not a single good word coming out of this guy's mouth.
Jia Zhang also participated in the smuggling of televisions. At first, she didn't care much. But in the last few years, she saw that everyone was making money. How could she not be jealous of such a profitable business?
So he took advantage of the last time when everyone was raising funds and went to Yi Zhonghai's house, saying that he also wanted to join in. He brought all his retirement savings over the years, both in small and large amounts.
Except for the funeral expenses of Lao Jia and Xiao Jia, the rest was squeezed from Qin Huairu over the years. After all, since her beloved son passed away, Qin Huairu was the only one in the family who collected money.
However, after Yi Zhonghai retired, his family's situation improved. If nothing unexpected happened, Yi Zhonghai's job quota was passed on to his eldest grandson Banggeng.
If she hadn't been so troubled, the old witch Jia Zhang would have finally gotten through it. Even if it was time to start a business, there weren't many dual-income families at the moment.
At least, in the middle courtyard of this quadrangle, my family was the only one with two working parents. But unfortunately, people are greedy and Jia Zhang, who was not a business person, lost all her capital.
Liu Haizhong has been restless at home these days, and a large part of the noise is contributed by Jia Zhangshi. There is no other way, forcing Liu Haizhong to go out for a walk early in the morning and not come back until dark. He doesn't eat three meals a day at home.
Sijiucheng Railway Station, back to the hometown he had left for decades. He Daqing, who had just left the railway station, felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Watching the rapid changes in this old city, He Daqing stood at the train station for a long time without saying a word.
During the journey, Xu Damao had explained to He Daqing the changes in the Siheyuan over the years. Although Xu Damao told the truth, he also chose what he was willing to say. However, it also gave He Daqing a general understanding of the current Siheyuan.
"Uncle He, how is it, have you seen enough? If not, don't worry, let's continue watching."
"Enough, enough, let's go back now..."
The last word "去" (go back) was stuck in He Daqing's throat. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't say it.
Xu Damao, who was a shrewd man, could not help but see what kind of situation He Daqing was in. He smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle He, let's go to the nearby bathhouse to take a bath first, and then go to the barber shop to clean you up."
"It's popular among the elderly to dye their hair now. I'll ask the hairdresser to dye your hair black. That way you'll look more energetic, right?"
"Hey, hey, I'll listen to you."
"Okay, let's go! But, Uncle He, please remember, don't tell Sha Zhu that I brought you back!"
"We'll be done soon, and then we'll go back separately."
After that, he took He Daqing to the bathhouse. Xu Damao, who had lived in the inner city for his entire life, was naturally very familiar with the inner city.
