Chapter 234 The Deaf Old Lady Reveals the Secret
Okay, let’s add a few more dishes, and two more people. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ingredients, and it will be ready quickly.
"Brother Zhuzhu, what's a good thing about this? Your brows are about to fly. Is this the legendary elation?"
Silly Zhu's smile is almost rippling, this There was something good going on. Judging from the confused look on He Yuyu's face, he probably didn't know.
"Oh, I really had an adventure today. Let me tell you, don't laugh."
It turns out that Silly Zhu ran to give a gift to Mrs. Song today, and Mrs. Song really did His face changed, and he became enthusiastic again. No, before he even said that he would continue to help find a new home, he reported back the new situation of his previous home. It had been a few months, and Silly Zhu's last blind date had turned around.
"She said, do you still remember that Xiong Lin, the second girl of the Xiong family?"
It seems to be the one that Shazhu went on a blind date with last time. It seems that Shazhu really likes her. , the result made Xu Damao groan, it didn’t work.
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, saying that he remembered it. He took a mouthful and was unable to speak.
"She also went to Mrs. Song and said that she found out later and it was just a misunderstanding and she was deceived by a villain."
As he spoke, he pointed towards the backyard, implying that the villain was in the backyard, it was Xu Damao.
Zhu Xuefeng did not answer, but He Yuyu asked instead.
"Then later, she agreed again?"
It is better to find an ordinary person as a sister-in-law than a capitalist's daughter. He Yuyu has an idea.
"Sister-in-law Song said that she regretted it. She thinks your brother is good. If I don't ask Sister-in-law Song again, there is only one condition."
"What condition?"
"As long as I lend her five hundred yuan, I will marry her in the next year."
I was afraid that everyone would misunderstand me, so I emphasized again that it was a loan, not a gift.
He Yuyu took a breath, five hundred yuan, it would kill him, who could take advantage of so much money.
“Brother, do you agree?”
Silly Zhu glanced at his sister with contempt.
"I'm not really stupid. Even though it's a loan, it's such a big amount and I have to think about it. I said I'd wait until I go back to make it up. If it's not enough, I'll borrow some more, so I'll hold off for now."< br>
“With such a large number of people in this family, there must be something big going on. I have to find out if there is a big hole in their house.”
“Sister-in-law Song didn’t tell you, what did she do? It was time to tell Mrs. Song that she regretted it."
Zhu Xuefeng interrupted and asked.
"It was not long ago, but not a few days ago."
"Brother Zhuzhu, don't take it seriously. I don't think this is a turning point, this is a crisis."
Silly Zhu stared at Zhu Xuefeng, knowing that he would not deceive him, but he still couldn't believe it.
“What crisis are you talking about?”
“You are right when you mention this time. The New Year will be in one month, and everyone who has an account must pay it, right? They There must be a big hole in the house. Someone wants to come to the door. If she really regrets it, why did she go there a few months ago? It’s enough for her to regret it dozens of times.”
Although Silhu said he wanted to ask to see if there was a big hole, Zhu Xuefeng analyzed it very clearly now that there must be a problem, but he didn't want to believe it.
"Brother Zhuzhu, what you just said is correct. Go check it out for yourself. Please feel at ease. I really want to borrow five hundred and marry you. Who will pay it back? This is not a small sum. It is enough to marry It’s several rooms.”
“Go away, you still have a few rooms, and you’re making fun of your brother for not being able to get it, right?”
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and said to Silly Zhu.
"I don't mean that. You really think too much, but I'm just surprised that you are still so concerned about Xiong Lin. Then you should really let go of the daughter of the Lou family."
Silly Zhu poured himself another glass, took a sip, and put down the glass.
"He is not the same as us, brother, please don't harm me."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't mention it anymore, just wait and see, the fate between people It's so strange, didn't Shazhu and Lou Xiao'e get together in a daze in their previous life?
…
Backyard
Silly Zhu was chatting in the old lady's room, and unknowingly the topic of the second girl of the Xiong family came up.
"Zhu Zhu, I also think there is something wrong with the second daughter of the Xiong family. You have to be careful."
On the table is a lunch box sent by Sha Zhu, which is specially for the old man The wife prepared it, and Shazhu often took the time to cook for the old lady.
The old lady is old, her movements are inconvenient, her teeth are not good, and she has many dietary taboos, but the old lady likes Silly Zhu very much.
"Why do you say that? Is there really a problem?"
Zhu Xuefeng reminded him yesterday, so Si Zhu took it to heart. He thought about it all night and still didn't understand what big thing could happen to his family. I had a full day of work today and didn’t have time to inquire.
The old lady ate a few simple bites. She was old and had a small appetite, so she couldn't eat much.
"Zhuzi, you can put it away for me. Just heat it up tomorrow. It's a pity that there are so many left."
Now that the weather is getting cold, Silly Zhu makes two every time. The food is basically enough for the old lady to eat for two or three meals. After she has put it away, she puts it on the window sill. It won’t go bad anyway.
Seeing Silly Zhu busy, the old lady showed a satisfied smile. This grandson is good, and the pain is not in vain. I have to remind him about this, and I can’t let the old Xiong family get into trouble. The old lady has been through a lot. , know some secrets.
The last time Silly Zhu went on a blind date, he hid it from everyone. Otherwise, the old lady would definitely have disapproved of it. Xu Damao turned him into a fool, and Silly Zhu even beat him up. The old lady also felt that it was natural. Although being cheated was a good thing, this The boy deserves to be beaten.
"Zhuzi, give me another glass of water, and I'll tell you about the old Xiong family."
It seems that there is a story about the old Xiong family, why haven't I heard about it? However, Silly Zhu also poured a cup of hot water full of doubts.
"Old lady, the hot water is here, be careful to scald it."
Silly Zhu put the water on the table, turned around and found a small stool to sit down, quietly waiting for the old lady to follow He explains.
"I still have some impressions of this old Xiong family. Their family has always done this. It's not surprising that there is a big hole."
"Old lady, you have to speak clearly. , What does their house do? Why is it not surprising that there is a big hole in the house?"
It seems that something is really going on, but if the old lady doesn't explain clearly, Silly Zhu will be scratching his head and head in anxiety.
The old lady smashed her withered mouth.
“This old Xiong’s family used to make usury loans. I heard that they didn’t dare to let us go after liberation. It seems that they have changed their tactics. I’m not sure what they do specifically, but I guess How could it have something to do with this?”
Silly Zhu thought thoughtfully, those who dared to make loan sharks were all ruthless people, not even ruthless masters could do this. It seemed that the Xiong family had not understood it before, and there were indeed some problems.
It turns out that Lao Xiong’s family was not on this street before liberation. There were six brothers in the family, that is, Xiong Lin’s father’s generation. All of them were ruthless masters. Their ancestors had been doing this for generations. Now that we have six brothers, He was even more unscrupulous and gained a reputation.
After liberation, three of them were left behind. The other three were said to have run away, some were said to have been secretly killed, and some were said to have been harmed by enemies. It was anything like that, and then they didn’t know how to move it. Here it comes. "Old Ancestor, how do you know this? Ordinarily it has nothing to do with this area."
A glimmer of light flashed in the old lady's cloudy eyes, and she remained motionless again. As if trapped in some kind of memory.
Under the dim light in the room, the deaf old lady who seemed to be in trance looked a little mysterious and a little ethereal. Silly Zhu shook his head to drive away the strange thoughts.
Seeing that the old lady was still making no move, he stood up and checked the coal fire, then refilled the hot water for the old lady.
The old lady seemed to be in a fugue, and Silly Zhu did not dare to wake her up. It took a long time for the old lady to wake up.
Didn't answer Silly Zhu's question, he picked up the cup tremblingly, blew on it, and took a sip.
“There has been no movement at all about the daughter of the old Lou family that you mentioned last time. Didn’t you think that she is very attractive to her?”
Silly Zhu scratched his head and chuckled.
"Old lady, this is a long story. I've only met her once, but I really can't talk."
The deaf old lady stretched out her hand to put down the teacup, but it was a little awkward. Trembling, Shazhu quickly stood up to pick it up, then gently put it down while looking sideways at the deaf old lady.
It's so good, why did you talk about the Lou family again? Last time, I was a bitch, I accidentally talked about it, and the old lady took notice of it. This is a big deal.
"You, you don't speak when you should speak, and you always talk nonsense when you shouldn't speak. I think the Lou family is suitable."
"Compared to the old Xiong family. Reliable, you have to work harder. If it really works, the old lady is waiting to hold her grandson."
The old lady coughed twice, her eyes slowly closed again, and she waved her hand. Silly Zhu knew that the old lady was low on energy and needed to rest.
Looking at Silly Zhu with his head lowered and leaving the old lady’s house full of worries, Liu Haizhong stood at the window, thinking about something.
Silly Zhu has always been Yi Zhonghai’s supporter, but now he seems to move less. This Silly Zhu always runs to Lao Zhu’s house. Liu Haizhong is thinking, this Jia Zhang family….
…
After a few days of work, the appearance drawings came home last night and I made a special trip to the steel rolling mill. They have been handed in. The technical department will review and calculate them to see if there are any calculation errors. Now it involves currency exchange, and the requirements are much stricter. .
It takes less than three months to complete the trial production and various experiments of new material products, and the time is still very tight. Zhu Xuefeng is also seizing all the time to avoid delaying as much as possible.
I came back a little early this afternoon. I was surprised to see Liu Haizhong dressed neatly. He hurried out of the middle courtyard and left. Looking at the direction, he should be returning to the factory to go to work.
Is there something going on at the second uncle’s house? Otherwise, why would he slip back during work hours and rush back to work again? It’s weird.
The eldest son of the Liu family was brave enough to take on the job. He left as soon as he asked. He didn’t take the comfort of the big city in mind and plunged into the ravine. He didn’t know whether he would be back during the Chinese New Year this year.
I have been trying to find Uncle Niu for the past few days. Uncle Niu has been home too late for several nights in a row and has never had the chance to find out how their heating is doing and whether there is any problem.
If something happens and someone is burned, it will be difficult to deal with. I haven’t seen Uncle Xue in the courtyard these days, so I am always worried.
Look it’s still early, let’s go to the rolling mill. If I had known I would have gone directly to the workshop after delivering the drawings yesterday, I would have saved a trip. Riding a bicycle in the winter is not pleasant.
"Master, you are busy."
Master Lu put down his work and glanced at this apprentice. He had a headache. He didn't send him something simple and confidential. It was really Waste of time.
"Tell me, what did you bring again."
Master Lu glared at Zhu Xuefeng, waiting to receive the drawings. Of course he would work on his apprentice's drawings. No matter how simple it was, he had to do it himself. If others wanted to do it, there was no way. .
"From what you said, it seems that I only come to see you if I need your help. It's really useless. I just came to see you."
"This is not bad, otherwise , I asked Director Sun to kick you out directly.”
The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and then Zhu Xuefeng went to find Uncle Niu. It was not time for work break, so it would be inappropriate to talk too much.
Uncle Niu is busy now. Look at the time. He will have a break in a while. Let's go to the workshop office first.
Last time, Director Sun promised him to get some good materials, so he gave him all the drawings. I don’t know what’s going on now.
"Come and take a look at the materials you mentioned. They have been prepared for you a long time ago. Come on, give me a hand. It's quite heavy. Why do you do so much when you have nothing to do?"
< br>Director Sun opened the iron cabinet at the back, and the two of them moved out a long iron box, which was quite heavy.
“I don’t know what you want to do, what’s the use of making this thing, but don’t take it out if it’s nothing, so as not to cause any trouble.”
"Look at what you said, what can cause trouble? It's only for the students in their martial arts class to practice."
"The martial arts class requires such good materials for practice, and it also requires fighting. Why don't I believe it? Besides, I don’t need you to fight for props in the martial arts class.”
Director Sun rolled his eyes, this guy didn’t speak the truth a lot, and he became a treacherous person last time.
Open the iron box, and there are six fine steel swords lying inside, all processed, exuding a faint cold light.
"Don't worry, Uncle Sun. When I'm free, I'll take you to see them practice in school, and you'll believe me."
"Boy, don't come to me for this kind of thing next time. "I'm really afraid that you will do bad things with this thing."
"Uncle Sun, just keep it in your heart. Have you ever seen someone do bad things with a sword? You really think it is." Hundreds of years ago, people used swords to travel to the ends of the world. "
Director Sun knew that these swords had other uses, so he helped to build them. If he really wanted to do bad things, he would just use a small dagger. He also walked around the world carrying a long sword, which was to distract him from Zhu Xuefeng.
"Uncle Sun, I want to ask something."
While putting away the long sword, he asked casually. The scabbard is a semi-finished product and needs someone to perfect it.
"Tell me, what else can I hide from you in this steel rolling mill? There are several workshops that you have never interacted with and have no acquaintance with."
Zhu Xuefeng was slightly embarrassed. He is not a steel rolling mill now. Uncle Sun is making fun of people who come and go all the time.
"Master Niu and the others are doing heating, aren't they? They all reported it from you, what is their scale now?"
The idea of reporting to the workshop was Zhu Xuefeng's, Sun The director is also happy for his people to get some outside work, so of course he will not stop it and will also provide a lot of convenience.
“It’s quite big now, with twenty people. There seem to be three people in the casting workshop, mainly from our own workshop, who don’t leave after get off work every day.”
“I’m just thinking about it. When will you tell your boss? They have made more than a hundred sets this winter, and they have almost lost all the scraps in the workshop this month."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't expect the movement to be so big, and thought it was a small fight. It’s a small incident. The bigger the scale, the greater the impact. I’ll have to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Uncle Niu later.
The materials in the steel rolling mill are also planned. Even the waste materials cannot withstand such consumption. Even if you don't tell them, someone will report it in two days.
The factory belongs to the country and also to the workers. Treating the factory as your home is not just a simple matter. If this matter is not handled well, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
Thank you very much for your daily vote. I am very encouraged. No matter what the results are, I will definitely write according to my plan.
The data of these three days is not ideal. Because of the need to ensure even ordering, I will try to merge and update the two chapters. I hope you can understand.
Taking into account the sharp decline in manuscripts due to various reasons in October and early November, and considering that it is the end of the year soon, we have not increased the number of updates. If you have needs, you can leave a message or post. OK, I will add updates based on your opinions and follow-up updates.
