Chapter 1460 Old Kong

It was already very late when they returned to the courtyard, and the lights in every house were out. Shazhu and Su Yi slowed down their pace, lowered their voices, and went home to rest.

A night of silence.

Because he didn't have to go to work the next day, Su Yi didn't get up so early and lay in bed and slept in.

In fact, it didn't matter whether he was lazy or not. Su Yi mainly wanted the feeling of sleeping in.

I felt bad because it was too noisy.

Those who were supposed to go to work early in the morning went to work, and those who were supposed to be cleaning up at home also got up and cleaned up. A few old ladies in the yard were chatting and laughing, and it was so noisy.

Especially the third aunt with a loud voice, just feed the chickens if you say you want to.

Just feed the chickens.

She had to stand outside Su Yi's bedroom window and chat with Aunt Ma for half an hour.

Su Yi lay on the bed and completely listened to the story of a girl named Zhang from the courtyard next door who married a shoe repairman and then cheated on her with a salesman.

Why do people cheat, how do they cheat, what are the first words they say during cheating, how long does it take...

Even the three aunts knew details such as the person who took off his pants to the crook of his legs, and the fact that the salesman had a mole on his black buttocks.

Su Yi felt that the third aunt was hiding under the quilt at that time, still lying between the salesman and Miss Zhang. Otherwise, how could she know so clearly?

The topics discussed by the aunts are really exciting, just like listening to pornographic articles.

So when Su Yi went out with a wash basin and a toothbrush bowl and a towel around his neck, the third aunt was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

"Yuan, Yuan Chao is here... You, why didn't you go to work..." The loud voice of the third aunt suddenly changed to a high tone.

The first aunt and the second aunt on the side were quacking happily, smiling like ducks.

"Go, go, don't laugh!" The third aunt was even more embarrassed. She smiled at Su Yi and said, "Old ladies are always talking like this. Usually your first aunt and second aunt talk more energetically than me. I'm talking to you all the time. They learned it.”

"Hey, hey, hey, don't throw dirty water on us." The eldest mother smiled, "The third uncle is the only educated person in our courtyard. You are close to Zhu Zhechi, and you have developed the ability to tell stories. I He and his second aunt are both big and rough, and they usually stutter when they speak. How can I speak like you do? It makes people feel itchy..."

"That's right, his first aunt and I don't have this ability. Yuan Chao, don't believe what your third aunt says." The second aunt smiled enthusiastically.

Su Yi walked towards the hanging flower door and said with a smile: "I just woke up, but I didn't hear anything. What did the third aunt say?"

"It's best if you don't hear, I didn't say anything!" the third aunt said quickly.

"That's Yuanchao trying to save face for you. Do you really think he didn't hear it?" said the second aunt.

"Showing you are smart?" The third aunt glared at her, "Why didn't this foreigner go to work today? I asked him why his bicycle is still here..."

After a pause, she said: "By the way, there is still a bowl of porridge left in the pot at home, and the steamed buns are not cold yet... I will go and bring it to Yuan Chao. The child is young, so it is best not to have breakfast..."

With muttering in his mouth, the person quickly turned around and went back to the house.

The second aunt clicked her tongue and said sarcastically: "Did you see it? The iron tree is blooming! This is because we have work in broad daylight and are anxious."

The eldest mother smiled and said: "She must be anxious, Jie Cheng is a few years older than Guangtian, and her job is not stable yet... Okay, let's not talk anymore, just listen to his third aunt's gossip, I have to go Go see the old lady in the backyard."

"I'm back too. Are you going to the Dongsi Vegetable Market later? Let's go together..." the second aunt also said while walking back.

As soon as Su Yi returned to the house after washing up, the third aunt came with porridge, steamed buns and a small plate of shredded pickles. She said enthusiastically: "It's already past nine o'clock. The breakfast stall has long been sold out. Auntie has some at home. I’ll bring you some, so you can handle it for two people, don’t feel bad about it.”

Su Yi hung up the towel and said with a smile: "It's too troublesome for you, Third Aunt."

"What's the trouble? You have to leave early for work, otherwise you can go to my house to eat every day before going to work!" The third aunt said with a smile, "Yuanchao, why didn't you go to the factory today?"

Su Yi stopped being polite and sat down, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. While eating, he said, "I'm on the field today. I have free time, so I'm not in a hurry to go out."

Picking up the chopsticks and taking a bite of the pickles, Su Yi praised: "The pickles are well acted, crispy and appetizing!"

"Do you like this? Then ask Yu Li to bring you some." The third aunt said hurriedly.

Su Yi waved his hand: "I don't have a pickle jar here, and the pickle jar I used is broken. If I want to eat it, I can ask Sister-in-law Yu Li to catch it freshly at your house. Haha, I won't be polite to you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, that's the right thing!" The third aunt was very happy, wishing that Su Yi wouldn't see her, "You can eat that Yuan Chao, and the aunt has to go to the vegetable market to pick up some vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. I I guess it only takes a few days for this chicken to lay eggs."

"Okay, you go about your business. Sister-in-law Yu Li will send the dishes and chopsticks back to you in the evening."

"Anything is fine, haha..."

After the third aunt left, Su Yi slowly finished the porridge, the steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles.

Although this breakfast is simple, it is really appetizing and comfortable to eat.

Su Yi tidied up a little and was about to go out, but suddenly a thought came to his mind, he looked towards the door, and the next second he heard the voice of a aunt.

"Yuan Chao, the old lady sees you coming!"

Just like last night, an old lady came in with an old lady and left first. After the old lady sat down, she couldn't wait to ask, "Yuan Chao, how is Sha Zhu's case?"

Su Yi didn't keep the secret and roughly told the result.

After hearing this, the old lady sighed and said, "He fell hard this time, but it's okay. Suffering is a blessing, and it can make you grow up. Yuanchao, thank you, madam, you have helped madam a lot."

Su Yi smiled and said, "We are neighbors, so if you can help, it's nothing."

"If everyone is as kind as you, there won't be so many things in our yard." The old lady said, "What about Banggeng? His family went out early in the morning, and I don't know where they went. I heard from your aunt that Banggeng was going to be expelled from school. Is that true?"

Su Yi nodded: "Yes, he was expelled."

The old lady said, "It's right! This dirty child is hated by everyone. Jia Zhang spoiled the child too much, and this is the result."

Su Yi smiled and didn't say anything.

"Yuan Chao, Madam can see that you are a smart man and will do great things in the future." The old lady said, "Unlike Sha Zhu, this child is destined to be an ordinary cook. He will not achieve much. But this child is stubborn. You saved him this time. He will definitely regard you as a benefactor and be grateful to you for the rest of his life. If you need him in the future, you can use him without worry; if he can be taken care of by you, then his life will be settled. You two children support each other and have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. You can trust Madam, you will not go wrong."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Su Yi said happily.

The old lady got Su Yi's affirmative answer, and she smiled so hard that her gums were exposed, and she left happily.

After seeing off the old lady, Su Yi also planned to go out. He thought of going to the alley to call the factory and ask Liu Guangtian and Zhang Chunmei to come out. The three of them went to the printing factory to recognize people and familiarize themselves with the process of printing the factory newspaper.

But he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance again when he arrived at the alley-Liu Guifen.

"Aiding Korea? Why aren't you at work today? You're still wandering around the alley at this hour?" Liu Guifen said in surprise.

"The comrades are too enthusiastic, I'm trying to avoid the limelight." Su Yi smiled, "I asked the leader for a day of field work."

Liu Guifen was happy: "It's not easy to be a hero, right? Don't think about hiding away. Director Qu said this morning that the community will hold a commendation meeting for you soon and invite you to give a speech."

Su Yi was overwhelmed: "Aunt Liu, please help me refuse, I won't go."

"That's not up to you, the invitation letter has been sent to your factory." Liu Guifen smiled, "and why don't you come if there's something good? There's a bonus."

"How much?" Su Yi asked.

"Two dollars." Liu Guifen stretched out her finger.

"Donate it to a welfare home or a lonely old man for me." Su Yi said, "Anyway, I've already gone back to you, I really won't go."

"Very noble...Okay, then I'll go back and tell Director Qu." Liu Guifen said helplessly, "You're a field worker... Forget it, I won't ask anymore. You just didn't go to work. How about I arrange for the decoration team to come over for you?"

"Okay." Su Yi said.

"Wait, I'll make a call." Liu Guifen turned and went into the phone room. After a while, she came out and said anxiously: "I almost forgot that you don't go to work today. It's a rare opportunity. I'll help you arrange a blind date at noon. I've already thought about the girl. After I talk to her parents, I'll go directly to her workplace to find her and bring her to see you!"

Blind date?

Su Yi was stunned for a moment.

Is the blind date going to start now?

Very good, very good.

Su Yi was quite looking forward to it and said with a smile: "Okay, Aunt Liu, why don't you ride my bicycle to go back and forth."

"I'm not being polite to you, the road is indeed a bit far, and it's tiring to run back and forth." Liu Guifen was also straightforward and came up to push the bike, "It just so happens that the girl saw this new bike and has a more intuitive understanding of your conditions."

"What are the girl's conditions?" Su Yi asked curiously.

"Keep it a secret!" Liu Guifen said with a smile, "You'll know when I bring her here. The girl is definitely good, well-educated, and pretty. Just wait to meet her! After you meet Lao Kong, go to Dongzhimen Bridge to wait for me. If I arrive early, I'll go there too."

"Lao Kong?"

"He's a decorator, and he has his own decorator team." Liu Guifen said, "I called him, and he lives in the alley next to him. He came over here. You saw a man with one arm missing, that's him. He was injured and retired from the Construction Corps. You can call him Uncle Kong when you see him. He's a reliable person! You don't have to tell him about that, I'll tell him."

"Okay, I know, Aunt Liu." Su Yi nodded.

"Let's go!" Liu Guifen was very active, and after saying that, she rode Su Yi's bicycle and left.

Su Yi stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for a while, and sure enough, a middle-aged man with a canvas bag and camouflage clothes came over.

The middle-aged man had one sleeve tucked into his pocket. He looked quite honest, and the more Su Yi looked at his features, the more familiar they looked. He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Considering that his last name was Kong... Su Yi was somewhat stunned, thinking that if it was true, it would be a coincidence.

"Uncle Kong!" Su Yi called out as the middle-aged man was about to pass by Su Yi.

The middle-aged man looked over in confusion, sizing Su Yi up.

"Are you the Uncle Kong that Aunt Liu introduced?" Su Yi walked over, stretched out his left hand and said with a smile.

The middle-aged man's remaining hand was also his left hand.

"I am the one who asked you for help. My name is Su Yuanchao. You can just call me Xiao Su."

"So it's my boss!" A smile appeared on Lao Kong's face, and he hurriedly reached out to shake Su Yi's hand. His hands were full of cracks and calluses, and he looked like he was in trouble.

"Thank you for taking care of me. My surname is Kong, Kong Damin." Lao Kong said.

"May I ask, who are you and Kong Ermin from the department store..." Su Yi asked.

"Do you know my son?" Kong Damin asked in surprise.

"Is Ermin your son? That's a coincidence." Su Yi said with a smile, "I know him. We met him when we were shopping in a department store before. I thought he looked familiar to you. But your names sound similar. It's two brothers."

Kong Damin said happily: "They all say that, if I have a grandson, he will be called Sanmin!"

Su Yi said: "The Three People's Principles are the theory of the Fruit Party. I don't want to call him that name, and I don't want to say these words in the future, Uncle Kong!"

Kong Damin scratched his head and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? White Japs are not good people, but Mr. Sun Yat-sen is the father of the country."

Su Yi shook his head and said: "I don't want to talk about this... let's go, I will take you to see the house."

The communication is simple and profound, and the point is reached.

The two of them returned to the courtyard one after another. Su Yi pointed to the collapsed house next to him and said, "This is it. I want to rebuild this room and connect it to the two rooms on my side."

"This room is not small," Kong Damin immediately got into work mode, walked into the half-collapsed wall, and said while banging around, "Is your room here a bedroom? It's connected to the bedroom... Are you planning to do it?" Want another bedroom?”

"I haven't decided what to do yet." Su Yi said, "Uncle Kong, if we build the house, how long will it take to complete it?"

"This wall is shaking so much, you see..." Kong Damin shook the half-collapsed wall, "Everything has to be smashed and rebuilt, and the foundation has to be rebuilt. If you can keep up with the materials, the foundation will be built in two days, and the foundation will be rebuilt in two days." The walls are built in one day, and the roof is sealed in one day, and the house can be completed in five days. But after the house is built, it needs to be left to dry, and it will take at least ten days to plaster and plaster it... Add it all up, and it will take twenty days to complete. A week’s work at most.”

"What if I ask you to contract the work and materials?" Su Yi asked.

Kong Damin suddenly became energetic and said: "Of course there is no problem. I promise to use the best materials for you and I will never fool you! And if I supply the materials, it will definitely be cheaper than if you go out and buy it yourself. Of course, if you have Lu Zi Na Dan said.”
