Chapter 239
Li Xuewu pointed at Wei Tong and said: "Tell the labor insurance factory, I will add meat to them after this equipment is done."
Wei Tong nodded: "I will keep an eye on it and get the equipment done as soon as possible."
Li Xuewu took Wei Tong and stood downstairs, already seeing the motorcade coming in. The motorcade also saw Li Xuewu, and Wei Tong gestured for them to park in front of the office building.
"Give the first 20 sets done to Huaqing University. After all, they spent money, hahaha."
Laughing, Li Xuewu walked toward the parked motorcade. The first one to open the door and jump out of the jeep was a young man carrying a backpack, and a female comrade.
The young man walked to Li Xuewu and asked with a smile: "Are you Li Ke?"
Li Xuewu nodded: "I am. Your Director Wu didn't come?"
The young man saluted: "Director Wu has something to do, so he asked me to send the car to you. This is the procedure for that jeep."
Li Xuewu took the document without looking at it, handed it directly to Wei Tong, and then smiled and returned the salute to the young man: "Thank you for your hard work."
The young man smiled and said: "Not hard, this is our Accountant Niu, who came to allocate the jeep procedures, equipment costs, and modification costs. By the way, there is also the construction fee for the training ground."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Director Wu's efficiency is really high. How about this, this is the captain of our guard team, let him take your accountant to allocate the funds."
Wei Tong smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with the accountant, then pointed to the office building and took the accountant upstairs.
Li Xuewu walked around the jeep that Director Wu promised to give. Why did Li Xuewu check this jeep?
It's not that Li Xuewu has never seen the world. The warehouse of the small car team in the factory is just below the Security Section office building, and he often sees the cars of the small car team.
But the car Wu Youqing gave now is not the GAZ-69 that is widely held in the country, but the BJ212 that was just finalized this year.
Li Xuewu looked at this cute muscle car, both familiar and strange.
Said familiar because he had seen this kind of car when he was a child in his previous life.
At first, the county magistrate sat in it, and later the township head sat in it.
But it was only a dozen years of development and change. Later, even the village head didn't bother to sit in it.
Said strange because the one he saw in his previous life was not so cute. This one now still has the shadow of Willys.
Two big eyes, striped air intake grille, you can see that this is a car with Willys blood.
The two jeeps sent by Wu Youqing are the same style, both extended versions. If there is no hard top, they can seat three rows of people.
But if the back seat is removed and replaced with opposite seats, it is no problem for this car to carry ten people.
"Your Director Wu has a very wide path. This was just finalized, right? Even this can be obtained?"
The young man said proudly: "Actually, it started production last year, but two more models were added. This is the largest model. Many engineers at the Beijing Auto Factory are alumni who graduated from our school, so our director found a relationship to get these two cars."
Li Xuewu nodded: "We can't envy this. Your Director Wu has the right time, place, and people. What can't he get if he wants it? Hahaha."
The young man looked at this section chief who was about the same age as him, and was also a bit envious.
When he came out of school, his leader told him repeatedly that he must be polite, which shows the ability of this young section chief.
"Li Ke, the keys are in the car, please receive them."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and called Yan Jiecheng and others who ran over to watch the motorcade: "Come here, come here, if you want to watch, watch generously. What are you doing sneakily? Go, drive the car to the auto repair factory, just say it's the guard team's, and let them hurry up and modify it."
Yan Jiecheng ran over excitedly with four or five young men from the guard team and saluted: "Yes, Li Kezhang, guarantee to complete the task."
These people obviously had already touched the car. They opened the door, got in, and started the car. Those who didn't grab the steering wheel also climbed into the passenger seat to enjoy themselves.
Watching the three cars, one big and two small, drive past, Li Xuewu said to the young man: "The modification will take about a week. How about this, let's set it for next Saturday, same time. You come to pick up the car, and by the way, take your equipment away."
The young man knew that Li Xuewu was talking about the equipment customized by Director Wu here. He didn't know where the equipment was good, worth ordering hundreds of yuan per set.
"Okay, Li Ke, I will go back and report to our leader."
Li Xuewu saw that the young man was really steady in doing things. There are talents in the school.
"Alright, you take people to wait in our duty room, it's warm there."
The young man looked at the duty room, said thank you to Li Xuewu, and took the driver who sent the car to the duty room.
Li Xuewu looked at the young man's back, then returned to his office. He thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Ji Weidong.
The two are life-and-death friends, so they spoke directly. After finishing the matter in two sentences, he hung up the phone.
Wei Tong came up again and reported the fund allocation.
Li Xuewu pointed at Wei Tong and said: "You keep an eye on the auto repair factory. The four radios must be debugged well. Install one jeep first. Tomorrow I will take the leader to the mountains to test the effect."
Wei Tong nodded: "Don't worry, Li Kezhang, I will go again in a while."
Li Xuewu waved his hand to tell Wei Tong he could go. Before leaving, he explained: "The equipment is almost armed to the teeth. If you can't lead the soldiers well, I will transfer you to the police dog training ground to feed the dogs."
Wei Tong saluted and went out without saying anything.
I don't know if the workers now have the Friday effect of later generations, and I don't know how the workers now relieve it.
Li Xuewu directly skipped work. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he called Qin Huairu, who was studying in the small auditorium, and asked her to ride her bike back. He himself took Yan Jiecheng to the auto repair factory.
As soon as he entered the workshop of the auto repair factory, he heard the sound of ding-ding-dang-dang. Li Xuewu took a look; it was the repair workers doing sheet metal work for the truck bed.
The steel mill transport fleet transports steel parts. It is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps when loading and unloading.
Another is the failure rate of trucks now. Every driver is a repair master, so there is never a shortage of vehicles waiting for repair in the auto repair factory workshop.
The Security Section's car was placed in a corner of the warehouse, and a few people were busy over there.
Li Xuewu walked over to take a look. These people were installing radios and batteries for the SH141 duty car. This should be the one for the school.
Seeing Li Xuewu coming, these repair masters didn't pay attention to Li Xuewu. The Security Section has come too frequently these days, so they are not surprised.
Li Xuewu pulled open the door of the duty car that had been modified and took a look. The cockpit is very simple, and the seats are all knitted sponge.
The back row could originally seat three people, but now that the radio is installed, it can only seat two.
He went to the back cabin to take a look. The truck bed was equipped with foldable opposite seats, which can seat three sides. There is also an open window on the top of the cabin, and a light machine gun can be mounted on the top.
He knocked on the steel plate of the cabin with his hand, which was quite solid. He looked at the appearance of the vehicle again, which was about the same as the duty car of later generations.
The paint color of the duty car is the original military green plus the icon and lettering of the steel mill security duty car.
"Li Kezhang, this car of ours is really imposing. If it drives out, it will attract the eyes of the whole street."
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Yan Jiecheng's nonsense, but went to see the modified jeep.
Because it was a four-door hardtop when it came, there was no need to change the soft top to hard. Only the icons and lettering were painted on it, and a protective fence was added to the front hood.
The radio was placed between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, so that the radio operator sitting in the passenger seat could debug the radio, and the commander sitting in the back seat could directly contact the walkie-talkie with the microphone.
Li Xuewu slammed the door of the back carriage and waved to Yan Jiecheng: "Get in the car, let's go out."
"Hey!" Yan Jiecheng got into the cockpit excitedly, and Li Xuewu got into the back seat.
Yan Jiecheng originally liked driving, and now he is driving the 212 he has never seen before with Li Xuewu. How could he control his emotions?
Li Xuewu looked at Yan Jiecheng and said: "If you are too excited and drive the car into a ditch, it will be lively, and our Security Section's face will be lost."
Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly and asked: "Li Kezhang, where are we going?"
Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "Go to the Wangfujing Department Store first."
Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to ask anything else, stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep rushed out.
When they reached the gate, Yan Jiecheng got out of the car and reported the license plate number of the jeep to the Security Section. From now on, he would never have to get out of the car to report again.
After getting back in the car, Yan Jiecheng waved to the guard who opened the door for him and greeted him, then drove the car out.
It must be said that since that lesson, Yan Jiecheng has lowered his head and never dared to look at people with his head held high again.
Now even when getting along with colleagues, he knows how to be polite. Also because he was called by Wei Tong to teach the guard team members how to drive, he is no longer in the guard team, and his popularity has improved. It really has the meaning of a driver class.
It seems that he didn't just learn how to drive in the driver class, but also learned the excellent style of the driver class.
This 212 jeep with a π antenna is indeed as Yan Jiecheng said, very stylish on the road. Many passersby look over here, not knowing why the security icon is painted on the door of this car.
The words below are clear. Isn't this steel mill outside Dongzhimen? Good guy, professional enough.
The new car is more comfortable to sit in than the GAZ-69. Anyway, it doesn't leak wind. Ji Weidong's soft-top GAZ leaks wind everywhere. Soft-top is just not as comfortable as hard-top.
This auto repair factory still has capable people. As soon as Li Xuewu said to transfer the heat of the engine into the car, a master figured it out.
A transmission ventilation pipe was made from under the car, and the switch was right under the seat. The car was warm at this time.
"Li Kezhang, how will this car be used in the future?"
Li Xuewu glanced at Yan Jiecheng who asked the question and said: "What, do you have any ideas again?"
Yan Jiecheng smiled "hehe" and said: "If you use it often, I will drive for you. If it is placed in the guard team, I won't be able to drive it."
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Yan Jiecheng. This kid is like his father, too active, not steady.
"You are still hanging in the office. Usually, you are on standby in the duty room. If you need to ride a sidecar, you ride a sidecar. If you need to drive this car, you drive this car."
Yan Jiecheng thought for a while, understood Li Xuewu's meaning, and said with a smile: "Understood, Li Kezhang, I will definitely maintain this car well for you."
Li Xuewu didn't speak, looking at the street scene outside the car.
Now, if you say it's not rich, there are quite a few cars on the street.
Although they are all Liberation trucks and small jeeps, they don't look difficult against the backdrop of buildings.
The street is much cleaner than in later generations. People at this time are really conscious. If you throw trash on the road, not to mention the people around you looking at you with disdain, four or five people on duty on the side of the road can come over and educate you for half an hour.
Yan Jiecheng drove the car directly to the entrance of the department store, where many cars were already parked.
Most of the jeeps are GAZ-69s, and there are also American Willys, which are broken.
Most of the cars are Volga, or Cadillac from the Republic of China.
Li Xuewu got out of the car and took Yan Jiecheng to the lobby on the first floor. Now you don't need an admission ticket.
On the first day of opening in 1955, when the department store closed, the sales clerks spent more than an hour cleaning up. They picked up two big baskets of shoes that customers squeezed off. At that time, admission tickets were required.
The goods here are really much more complete than the supply and marketing cooperative, and you can buy whatever you want.
The glass counter on the first floor sells boutique porcelain tableware, ethnic clothing, high-heeled leather shoes, and the styles are not inferior to the current categories.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you can see a large display window. This display window displays many domestic semiconductor radios, cameras, nylon shirts, scientific instruments, and other goods, with the eight big characters "Self-reliance, Strive for Strength" inlaid on it.
Li Xuewu really took a careful look. His understanding of this era is still one-sided. The country at this time is not as backward and poor as later generations thought.
A sales clerk standing on the side saw Li Xuewu dressed well and bringing a "duty soldier," thinking he was the child of some leader. She walked up and saw Li Xuewu looking into the display window, so she greeted with a smile: "Comrade, what do you want to see?"
Li Xuewu looked at the attitude of the service staff here, which is indeed different from those in the supply and marketing cooperative. He wanted to explore the bottom line, so he asked: "What do you have here?"
The service staff saw that Li Xuewu was joking with her and didn't get angry. If it were Lin Tingting and the others, they would have started scolding, telling you to stand aside if you don't buy things, and don't waste time here.
The service staff smiled and said: "The variety of goods here has reached more than 20,000."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Xuewu quite proudly and continued to introduce: "I don't know what you want to buy, so I can't introduce it to you, but there is a saying among the people in the capital: 'If you can't buy it at the department store, don't go anywhere else.' So tell me what you want with confidence."
Li Xuewu looked at the many people in the mall and asked: "Are there so many people here every day?"
The service staff smiled, but didn't dare to say the words "country bumpkin" in her heart, but introduced with a joking tone: "The shoe and hat counter on the second floor is always equipped with iron bars, just to prevent squeezing the counter."
"Our business is booming, and sales performance is rising year by year."
"I dare not tell you the current one, but the sales in the first year of opening reached tens of millions. You say, can there be few people?"
Li Xuewu deliberately made things difficult and asked: "Are there toys for sale? Like small dolls?"
The service staff nodded proudly: "Our children's goods store was renovated this year, with five circular counters on the second floor. Why don't you go up and take a look?"
Li Xuewu laughed. Toys are a representative of the maturity of light industry. Only when the light industry needs of the people are met will toys be manufactured.
Hearing the service staff say that there are five counters for toys, it means that the level of light industry is not low.
"Excuse me, which floor is the hunting gun counter on?"
The service staff saw that Li Xuewu was "convinced" and replied politely: "Oh, then you have to go to the third floor. Turn left at the stairs and walk inside. There is a hunting gun sign hanging on the top of the floor."
Li Xuewu smiled, nodded, and thanked the service staff, then climbed to the third floor.
The floor height of this department store is quite high. Li Xuewu looked at the hunting gun icon hanging in the air and took Yan Jiecheng to walk over.
Don't say, there are really many brands of hunting guns in the counter. To sum up, they are lion, tiger, leopard, eagle, vulture, squirrel, deer, pigeon, dog.
Why do hunting gun brands carry animal names?
The scientific name of the hunting gun is sports rifle, but the goal of producing hunting guns in previous years was not to develop competitive sports, but for more direct economic goals.
Directly used in agricultural production for protecting green crops and autumn crops, preventing wild animals from destroying crops and "stealing" grain.
At the same time, encourage forest areas, mountain areas, and pastoral areas to carry out hunting sports, produce skins, medicinal materials, etc., and increase local economic income.
So at this time, no one will care if you carry a rifle into the mountains to kill a golden gradient (tiger/leopard), because there is no such thing as protecting animals at this time.
Li Xuewu didn't aim at the birds and beasts, but walked directly to the Jianwei rifle counter.
Jianwei sports rifle is something Li Xuewu came into contact with in his previous life. He practiced aiming with this thing when he was a child.
The sales clerk is a young man in his twenties with a flat head. Seeing Li Xuewu coming over, he smiled and stood up to greet: "Comrade, what are you buying?"
Wow, this side is really much more polite than the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I'll take a look at the hunting guns. I'm going to the mountains with friends tomorrow to play."
The young man looked at Li Xuewu's dress, which looked like he could afford it, so he introduced with a smile: "There are two types in our counter, one is Jianwei 8, the other is Jianwei 7. Jianwei 8 came out last year. Which one do you want?"
Li Xuewu pointed to the rifle with a scope in the glass counter and said: "Introduce Jianwei 8 to me."
The young man saw that Li Xuewu really knew it, so he introduced: "This W-8, 5.6mm sports rifle has a total mass of 2.4kg, a total length of 1042mm, 4 right-handed rifling, a lead of 350mm, uses domestic 5.6mm sports rifle ammunition, initial velocity 330m/s, and a dispersion circle diameter of 7cm at 50m."
The young man opened the counter, took the gun out of it, placed it on the counter, and introduced it to Li Xuewu by pointing at the gun with his hand.
"The gun adopts a bolt-action locking mechanism, a firing pin translation firing mechanism, and is equipped with a firing pin safety, using a 5-round magazine for ammunition supply."
Li Xuewu tried it out. It was much lighter than the 56 semi-automatic he had used before. The 56 semi-automatic weighed more than seven jin, and this one was less than 5 jin.
It is also more delicate in the hand. This is because hunting guns are used to chase and shoot prey in the jungle, so the gun is short and easy to use.
In fact, Li Xuewu still has a hunting gun in his hand, which is the one confiscated from the yellow-haired guy last time.
But that gun looks like a noble master, and he was afraid that he would really make flower prints on it, so he couldn't give it as a gift, so he ran here to buy another one. Anyway, he will use it often in the future.
Why not use the 56 semi-automatic in the steel mill gun storage?
Very simple, if it is a bird or a small prey, a 56 semi-automatic rifle bullet might shoot a rabbit away (shattered) with one shot.
Another reason is that if the distance is not controlled well, one shot will make a through hole, and there is not enough cavity effect to kill the prey.
So it is best to use a hunting gun when hunting. The 7.62mm caliber ammunition of the 56 semi-automatic, with an initial velocity of 735 meters per second, is not needed unless it is for large livestock.
Li Xuewu pointed to the Jianwei 8 in his hand and asked: "How much is this gun?"
The sales clerk saw that Li Xuewu was really buying, so he smiled and said: "Naked gun 75 yuan, with scope 90 yuan, rifle ammunition is cheap, one yuan for a big box of 50."
"This is still cheap."
Yan Jiecheng had been following behind Li Xuewu, and couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard the sales clerk's introduction.
When the sales clerk said that the 2-cent bullet was cheap, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The sales clerk looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile and said: "Think about it, you hit a rabbit with this bullet, don't you earn it back?"
Yan Jiecheng is also a slow responder, and asked: "What if you don't hit it?"
The sales clerk laughed and said: "Then blame your own lack of skill."
The sales clerk at the next counter also laughed when he heard it, looking at Yan Jiecheng, which made Yan Jiecheng blush.
This is really not expensive. Li Xuewu remembers that in 1983, the latest Jianwei model sold for 320 yuan.
Li Xuewu put the gun on the counter and said: "Pack it up for me, I want the scope, and give me 10 yuan of rifle ammunition."
As he spoke, Li Xuewu was about to take out money and industrial tickets. Before he could take them out, the sales clerk waved his hand: "Let me tell you first, the gun is set, you have to go to the police station to open a ticket, or the production team will give you the procedures, and then you come back to get the gun."
This set of systems is a bit like the United States in later generations. Li Xuewu took out his security certificate and the police station certificate from his pocket and placed them on the counter.
"Comrade, can you buy it directly with these two certificates?"
The sales clerk looked at Li Xuewu, then picked up the certificates and looked at them, first looking at the Security Li Kezhang's certificate, then at the police station director's certificate.
"Yes, you are really a person who doesn't show his face. Register your certificate number in the registration form, and we will make a record."
Li Xuewu took his certificate and noted his information on the registration form handed over by the sales clerk, then took out the money and industrial coupons and handed them to the sales clerk.
The sales clerk took the money and tickets, opened a certificate for Li Xuewu to handle the gun license, packed Li Xuewu's rifle, and took ten boxes of ammunition and put them in a bag on top.
Li Xuewu pointed to Yan Jiecheng, and then walked downstairs.
Yan Jiecheng nimbly carried the gun box and the ammunition bag and followed Li Xuewu downstairs.
On the second floor, Li Xuewu turned around in the children's goods area, chose a doll wearing ethnic clothing with two small black braids, and chose a tin carp that could move when wound up.
Don't say that there are many people here. The sales clerk used a paper box to pack the two toys Li Xuewu chose, and thoughtfully told Li Xuewu how to maintain them.
Li Xuewu saw that Yan Jiecheng had both hands occupied, so he carried the two toy gift boxes himself and turned to the clothing area.
It's not that Li Xuewu wanted to buy clothes, but he felt guilty for disappearing for half a month.
He looked at the coats hanging on the wall, which didn't look very good, and finally arrived at the leather shoe counter after wandering around.
Li Xuewu is familiar with the size of Sister Lou's feet. Don't ask why he is familiar, he just knows anyway.
He chose a pair of black cotton leather shoes with heels, asked the sales clerk for the appropriate shoe size, and paid the money quickly.
This place doesn't allow bargaining. If you choose it and look at it, you have to pay.
Li Xuewu carried two boxes of toys in his left hand and a pair of leather shoes in his right hand. Yan Jiecheng carried a gun box in his left hand and a bag of ammunition in his right hand.
Looking at the cloth sold downstairs, Li Xuewu asked Yan Jiecheng: "The material here is more complete and better than ours. It's almost the end of the year. Do you want to buy a piece for your sister-in-law?"
Yan Jiecheng explained awkwardly: "My monthly salary is handed over to my father. I have to pay him back for finding me a job."
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "It's really the Third Master's style."
As he spoke, he took Yan Jiecheng to the cloth counter. Li Xuewu didn't know how to look at cloth, but fortunately, there are not many types of cloth now, just a few, so he just chose the color and pattern.
"Comrade, give me 6 feet of this pink and white floral, 6 feet of this blue and white floral, 6 feet of this dark floral, and three 6 feet of this blue cloth. Pack them into three portions according to color."
The sales clerk didn't hesitate at all. Li Xuewu pointed at which cloth scroll, and the ruler in her hand measured it quickly.
After Li Xuewu finished pointing, he waited for two minutes, and the cloth corresponding to the three patterns was packed.
Li Xuewu took out money and cloth tickets from his pocket and handed them to the sales clerk, then put the money and tickets away, picked up the three bags of cloth, and walked out.
He had to go. There are many types and good styles here, but he couldn't afford to spend money like water.
He has a monthly salary of over 100 yuan. If it were Yan Jiecheng, he wouldn't have enough to be dashing here once in ten years.
By the jeep, Li Xuewu threw all the things in his hand into the back seat, and told Yan Jiecheng to put the hunting gun and ammunition in the trunk.
Yan Jiecheng got into the car and asked: "Li Kezhang, where are we going next?"
Li Xuewu pointed to the direction of Dong'an Market and said: "Go to Dong'an Market."
Yan Jiecheng said "Alright," and drove the car to Dong'an Market.
Dong'an Market was the most prosperous market in the DC district. It had everything to eat, use, play, and see. It wasn't until the opening of Wangfujing Department Store in 1955 that its limelight was snatched away.
Li Xuewu came here mainly to buy books, the kind of books Sister Lou wanted to read.
There is a second-hand book market in Dong'an Market, which is large, complete, and prosperous. Li Xuewu was looking for this place.
It's not far from Wangfujing. When he arrived, he saw that the entrance was messy and there was no place to park, so Li Xuewu asked Yan Jiecheng to wait for him in the car.
After explaining, Li Xuewu jumped out of the car and turned into Dong'an Market.
Yan Jiecheng watched Li Xuewu's back walk away, and then looked at the things in the back seat of the car.
Three kinds of floral cloth, children's toys, women's leather shoes, and the hunting gun in the trunk.
Yan Jiecheng didn't dwell on the money for his job anymore. After being in the Security Section for a long time, he knew that Li Xuewu had never taken anyone's money, but often gave out cigarettes.
It must be that his father wronged Li Xuewu. He didn't take any money for finding him a job at all.
Sigh~ It's all his own fault for not knowing good from bad and wronging a good person.
It's still his wife who is sensible. She spoke with force, took him to Li Xuewu's house, not only did he change his job, it was easier, and the overtime pay was easy to earn. He said he was on standby at night, but actually he was sleeping in the dormitory. Now there is no time to go out on field duty.
Even more surprising is that his wife Yu Li also found a job at Li Xuewu's place, 10 yuan a month, and food is provided. If she saves for two years, his money will be paid back.
Why do people say you need three sons in life? A good father, Yan Jiecheng felt he didn't catch up, a good wife he caught up, and it would be even better if he had a good son.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't envy the things Li Xuewu bought anymore.
Yan Jiecheng thought of what his wife said, everyone has their own fate. Li Xuewu couldn't be blown up by shells, he must have future blessings.
Besides, people risked their lives on the battlefield and risked their lives in the steel mill to get their current position. He didn't dare to fight, so he could only honestly go to work and earn a salary.
Speaking of salary, Yan Jiecheng still had some complaints about his father. Li Xuewu was just his neighbor, and he didn't take a cent for his job. His wife went and said two words and he changed his job, and he didn't even take the gifts.
His father charged him interest of dozens of yuan.
Just as he was complaining, Li Xuewu opened the car door and threw in a cleaned rabbit and a stack of books.
He opened the trunk again and loaded a bag of cornmeal and a bag of potatoes and radishes into it.
These cornmeal and vegetables were not bought at Dong'an Market, but were taken out by Li Xuewu from his fingertip space.
Li Xuewu closed the trunk door, got into the back seat, and said to Yan Jiecheng: "Send me to Gulou East Street, Xiaojingchang Hutong."
Yan Jiecheng didn't know what Li Xuewu was doing with these bags, but since Li Xuewu said so, Yan Jiecheng drove there.
This is not far from Nanluoguxiang, it's right next to it. After entering the hutong, Li Xuewu pointed the way for Yan Jiecheng, and finally stopped by a courtyard house.
Li Xuewu asked Yan Jiecheng to lock the car, took Yan Jiecheng to the trunk, opened the trunk, carried a bag of cornmeal on Yan Jiecheng's shoulder, and carried a bag of potatoes and radishes on his own shoulder, and took Yan Jiecheng into the courtyard.
Li Xuewu hadn't been to this courtyard for three or four years. He could vaguely remember where the old lady lived.
Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention. He didn't know why this person wearing a wool coat brought security to come in. There was no such person in the courtyard.
Arriving at the left wing room in the back courtyard, Li Xuewu recognized the door and confirmed it was this family, so he knocked on the door.
Inside the room, an old lady's voice answered the door: "Hey, coming."
Li Xuewu and the others waited for a while before seeing the door opened, and an old lady leaning on a cane looked at Li Xuewu inside the door.
"Who are you?"
Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "Old Grandma, it's me. I'm Li Xuewu, who used to come to your house to play."
As he spoke, he flashed into the door, put the bag he was carrying on his shoulder by the door, and helped Yan Jiecheng put the bag he was carrying on the box board.
Seeing Li Xuewu and the others carrying bags into the room, the old lady asked a bit puzzled: "What are you taking? Who are you?"
Li Xuewu was stunned, then smiled again and said: "I'm Li Xuewu, Wenwen's classmate."
The old lady nodded, looked at Li Xuewu, then looked at Yan Jiecheng, and asked again: "Who are you?"
This time Li Xuewu couldn't smile. This old lady didn't seem right.
Just as he was thinking, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside the door, about forty years old, wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket.
The middle-aged woman entered the room and looked at Li Xuewu and Yan Jiecheng. Seeing that Li Xuewu and Yan Jiecheng were not ordinary people, she asked: "Who are you?"
Li Xuewu had never seen this woman, but she should be a resident of this courtyard, so he replied: "My name is Li Xuewu. I used to come to this courtyard to play often. I'm just here to see the old lady."
The middle-aged woman looked at Li Xuewu carefully, and then asked softly: "You are the young man who used to play with Wenwen often, right?"
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "It's almost the end of the year, so I'm sending a bag of cornmeal and a bag of potatoes and radishes to the old lady."
The middle-aged woman looked at the old lady and whispered to Li Xuewu: "You have a heart, but the old lady has been confused since the neighborhood office came to inform her about Wenwen. Now she doesn't recognize people anymore. Because I live next door, the neighborhood office entrusted me to take care of her and cook for her."
Li Xuewu nodded and looked at the old lady and the room carefully. It was quite clean. This woman is a warm-hearted person.
"Auntie, I am a classmate and friend of Wenwen. I heard about her affairs. This is just a little bit of heart. Please take care of her more. Thank you."
Li Xuewu said and bowed to the woman.
This woman didn't know whether to support him or not, and stood at the door at a loss, looking at Li Xuewu and saying: "I don't dare to accept your thanks. We are all neighbors. Besides, the neighborhood office also gave a subsidy for taking care of the old lady. Don't worry."
Li Xuewu nodded and said to the old lady again: "Old Grandma, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you when I have time."
The old lady might not have heard clearly what Li Xuewu said, but she looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and nodded.
The woman looked at the two bags at the door and asked with a smile: "Why don't you sit for a while? I'll pour you a glass of water."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and walked out of the room, saying to the woman who followed him out: "Auntie, if something happens to the old lady, please send me a message. This is my address."
As he spoke, Li Xuewu took out a fountain pen from his pocket and wrote an address and phone number for the woman in a small notebook.
The woman took it, half-understanding, and said: "Don't worry."
Li Xuewu didn't say anything else, took Yan Jiecheng out of the courtyard and got into the car. Seeing Yan Jiecheng looking at him blankly, Li Xuewu kicked the back of the driver's seat with his foot.
"What are you worrying about? Drive, send me to the seaside."
Yan Jiecheng was stunned. Seeing Li Xuewu with women's leather shoes and floral cloth, he thought he was going home, but didn't expect to go to the seaside.
He didn't dare to ask Li Xuewu what he was doing, so he hurriedly started the car and rushed to the seaside.
When they arrived at the hutong entrance of Li Xuewu's seaside villa, Li Xuewu asked Yan Jiecheng to stop the car.
Li Xuewu got out of the car, took down the women's leather boots, took down the rabbit and the stack of books, and then pointed to the two toys and said: "Send that toy and these two pieces of cloth to my house. Tell my mother that the blue floral is for her, the dark floral is for my grandmother, and the toy is for my daughter."
Yan Jiecheng nodded: "Understood, Li Kezhang, don't worry, I guarantee to deliver them."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and pointed to the bright pink and white floral cotton cloth he chose first: "This is for your wife, Sister-in-law Yu Li. I won't buy you cotton, that thing is cheap."
Yan Jiecheng was surprised: "Li Kezhang, this is, I can't take it."
Li Xuewu pointed at Yan Jiecheng and said: "Who said it's for you? It's for Sister-in-law Yu Li. Since she followed me, I can't treat her badly. You also go to work well, and I won't treat you badly."
Yan Jiecheng knew that Li Xuewu was taking care of him. He knew that Li Xuewu had listened to what he said when he first came out about wanting to drive for Li Xuewu. This was taking care of him.
In the department store, Li Xuewu also asked him if he wanted to buy it. His predicament was known to Li Xuewu, who neither laughed at him nor pitied him, but asked him if the cloth looked good when choosing cloth.
At that time, Yan Jiecheng was wondering why the Li Kezhang asked him about buying cloth. He didn't expect it was for his wife.
"Li Kezhang, I, I..."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Don't cry like a baby, a big man, isn't it shameful?"
After finishing his words, he pointed to the trunk again: "Don't touch the gun in the car. You drive the car back to our west courtyard. Tomorrow morning at 7:30, you drive the car here to pick me up. Do you hear me?"
Yan Jiecheng wiped his tears and nodded: "Understood, Li Kezhang, are you going to take me hunting?"
Li Xuewu couldn't stand a big man crying like this, and said disgustedly: "What take you, it's you driving to take me and Director Fu. I tell you, if you cry again tomorrow morning, you can walk back yourself."
Yan Jiecheng saw Li Xuewu scolding him, but felt warm in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Li Kezhang, don't worry, I will definitely arrive here at 7:30 tomorrow morning."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Alright, alright, hurry up and go." As he spoke, he slammed the car door.
Yan Jiecheng shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, rushing out. He was really a bit excited.
Li Xuewu waited for Yan Jiecheng to turn back and walk far away before carrying the things in his hand and walking into the hutong.
Arriving at the gate of the villa, Li Xuewu looked into the courtyard guiltily.
It was only past 6 o'clock, the chimney was emitting light smoke, and the lights were on in the room. Obviously, Sister Lou was at home.
"Cough cough," Li Xuewu coughed twice and then knocked on the door.
"Clang," Li Xuewu heard the sound of the door being pushed open even from outside the gate, followed by hurried footsteps.
Good brothers~
My neck caught a cold,
The back of my neck is all purple from scraping,
Today I am writing with two plasters on,
My appetite is also a bit uncomfortable from staying up late,
But 10,000 words are delivered on time every day~
Wish good brothers never catch a cold,
This feeling is too uncomfortable,
I dare not lower my head, and I dare not raise my head.
