Chapter 44: The People in the Courtyard
A green shoulder bag, which contained a fountain pen, ink, and notebook. Liu Hai took these things out and put them in his hands.
Everyone around was envious. The second uncle quickly applauded: "Comrade Liu Hai, good job."
The others also applauded, but they were reluctant. The first uncle would not show it. He Zhuzi's face was a little broken, and Jia Dongxu's face was in the shadow, gnashing his teeth.
Jia Dongxu muttered in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. He turned his head and saw Qin Huairu clapping with eyes wide open, and he was even more angry.
"Thank you, without the support and cultivation of the leaders, there would be no achievements for me, Liu Hai." Liu Hai quickly bowed and said.
"Comrade Liu Hai, keep working hard and strive for the construction of a new society." The director was very happy when he heard Liu Hai's words, and thought to himself that he must find a good partner for Liu Hai.
After the celebration, the director of the street office took Liu Hai into the house.
"Comrade Liu Hai, take a look, do you like it?" The director took Liu Hai to visit the newly painted house.
It was just simple white ash, which was the best in this era. The ground was just like that. The roof was renovated, and the small kitchen was renovated with cement bricks.
"Thank you, Director. I am so touched. Thank you. I have never lived in such a good house." Liu Hai said excitedly.
"Be careful, don't lean against the wall. It will be fine after a few days of drying." The director was very satisfied with Liu Hai's reaction and nodded.
"In addition, these quilts and other things are also for you. Your original ones were too bad." The director pointed to a pile of things on the bed, military green quilts, military green cotton coats, shoes, etc.
The director and his group left, and Xu Damao, the second uncle, the first uncle and others came in again, looking at the painted walls, as well as the extra furniture, quilts, and cotton coats.
Jia Dongxu was also inside, feeling sour, thinking that these should all be his, and he would also participate in the competition next year.
Some people just can't recognize their strength. When they see others are good, they think they can do it too.
Qin Huairu was also very envious. Although the furniture was a little old, there were more tables, stools, and wardrobes in the two rooms than in his own home. The painted walls were illuminated by the lights, making the house brighter. The most important thing was that the house would belong to Liu Hai from now on, and he didn't have to pay rent.
Why was it difficult to demolish Kyoto later? It was because most people lived in public housing. There was an opportunity to buy out in the middle, but many people didn't see the demolition later.
"Brother, where are the medals?" Xu Damao looked at Liu Hai's military bag and pens with envy and asked.
"In the factory."
The second uncle said, "Xiao Liu, I'll get a brush to mark these stools and furniture for you."
"Thank you, second uncle." Liu Hai hurriedly thanked him. If the second uncle didn't do it, Liu Hai would do it himself.
Liu Hai didn't want to argue with his neighbors for some furniture.
At this time, the first uncle asked: "Comrade Liu Hai, if there is anything in the future, you can still tell us all and make us all happy."
"First uncle, the results of the competition have not come out, and Brother Liu can't make a fuss." Without waiting for Liu Hai to answer, Xu Damao spoke.
Xu Damao felt that Liu Hai was very suitable for his taste and was much easier to get along with than the other young people in the yard. Jia Dongxu had no ability, but he relied on being the first uncle's apprentice and thought he was a big shot. He Zhuzi had a foul mouth and liked to use violence at every turn.
Look at Liu Hai, he is a talent, no need for others, people will look up to him.
The first uncle was very dissatisfied with Xu Damao's words, but he couldn't say anything. At this time, the second uncle took the brush and said: "There is still a little paint, this is good."
"Sorry to bother the second uncle." Liu Hai hurriedly thanked.
"Old Liu, I'll write it. Your writing is not very good." The third uncle also had a good impression of Liu Hai. He gave him so many fish last time. The third uncle also knew that Liu Hai was the one who made the fish cage. He often ate fish at home recently, so he was very grateful to Liu Hai.
"I'll help."
"I'll come too." Other people in the yard came to help. The first uncle and Jia Dongxu left. Jia Dongxu also pulled Qin Huairu who was watching the excitement.
Jia Dongxu returned to his home and looked at the walls of his home. He seemed to be holding his breath.
When the first uncle returned home, the first aunt looked at the first uncle's face and said, "Why are you unhappy?"
"I was criticized by the street again. Comrade Liu Hai achieved such results, but the courtyard didn't know." The first uncle was also a little depressed.
"How do we know that Xiao Liu goes out early and comes back late." The first aunt heard this and said angrily.
"You should pay more attention to Xiao Liu in the future." The first uncle continued.
"How can I pay attention to him? He goes out in the morning and comes back in the evening." The first aunt said unhappily.
Liu Hai had many people help write names on all kinds of furniture. Xu Damao said cheerfully: "Brother Liu, you don't need to buy furniture for your wedding, even if these furniture are old."
"Old furniture is fine."
"These were used by the nobles in the past. When they ran away, the furniture was lost."
"If you ask me, it's better to make new ones now. These furniture look black. I'll make new furniture when I get married."
"Hehe, you should find a partner first."
Everyone was talking and envious of the bangs. After cleaning up, Xu Damao even asked: "Brother Xiao Liu, tell us how you won the championship?"
"I don't know either. Just do what the coach said. Just go hard after entering the water." Liu Hai said.
"This depends on talent. Those with talent can learn it quickly. Some of the students I teach learn it after listening to it once, and some can't learn it at all." The third uncle said from the side.
"Brother Liu, what are you being rewarded in the factory?" Xu Damao asked eagerly.
"There must be bicycles. The leaders of our factory have stated that whoever wins a prize at the sports meeting will be rewarded with a bicycle."'
"Brother Liu Hai is different. He won three gold medals in a row and broke domestic records three times. There may be rewards from the First Machinery Department."
Liu Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The factory won't give out rewards until tomorrow. I'll be happy with anything. It's just a handful of strength."
"Tsk tsk." When the others heard this, they were also very envious. The bicycle was 100% perfect.
There are many people who have enough money to buy bicycles, such as the rich man, but bicycles require tickets. In the era of planned economy, the number of bicycles produced will be issued as many tickets as possible, so without tickets, there will be no bicycles, and even if you have money, you cannot buy them.
