Chapter 8 Warm little home
Jiang Hui didn't really care whether the temporary workers at the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory really installed the oil pump components incorrectly, or whether they just made up an excuse to shirk responsibility.

For him, the matter was over.

When the bell rang at the appointed time to leave work, Jiang Hui had no idea that a new employee would have to work overtime.

Colleagues around me quickly packed up their things and left work.

Tall poplar trees stood on both sides of the factory street. Employees who did not live in the family quarters basically rode their bicycles outside, filling the entire factory street.

Jiang Hui felt that Zhu Lin must be waiting for him in the dormitory, so he didn't stop at all, and his two strong and powerful long legs pedaled the bicycle into a Hot Wheels.

Many people who saw this scene felt that the young people just bought a new car but still didn’t know how to take care of it.

Where can you ride a bike like this?
When Jiang Hui arrived at the dormitory building of the clinic and had just parked his bicycle, Zhu Lin appeared and asked, "How was it? Did everything go well today?"

It was obvious that Zhu Lin had been staring at the downstairs for quite some time.

"It went smoothly. The head of our technical department is my father's student. He came to pick me up at the door this morning."

Jiang Hui briefly told Zhu Lin about today's situation so that she wouldn't worry.

Although Jiang Hui's mental age is older than Zhu Lin's, his usual words and actions are relatively mature.

However, Zhu Lin, who is three years older than Jiang Hui, has always taken care of Jiang Hui meticulously.

For example, before going to bed last night, Zhu Lin had already prepared all the clothes that Jiang Hui would wear when going out today.

"Dad is such a fool. He had already arranged everything, but he didn't tell us earlier."

Professor Zhu's little cotton-padded jacket was obviously a little leaky.

But Jiang Hui would definitely not take up this topic.

Between a husband and wife, either party can complain about their parents at will, but the other party is better off not joining in.

Otherwise, the result is often a quarrel.

"I'm going to go back and take a shower before eating. I'm sweating all over after riding my bike."

Jiang Hui is used to taking a bath every day.

Even in this day and age, taking a bath is not that convenient.

For example, the dormitory that Zhu Lin was assigned to did not have its own independent bathroom or kitchen.

To use the toilet, you have to go to the restroom at the end of the corridor.

If you want to take a shower, you can either go to the bathhouse or take a bucket to the bathroom to fill it with water and shower.

The conditions were so simple.

Even so, this is already a level that many people envy.

Those who live in the slums have to empty the urine pot every morning when they wake up.

To go to the toilet, you have to leave the yard and go to the public toilet at the end of the alley.

The key is that sometimes there are no seats left for you during the morning rush hour.

"Hurry up, we still have to buy some things later."

In Zhu Lin's opinion, it is definitely not a good idea for a couple to eat out every day. They have to cook for themselves.

This requires buying pots, pans, and other things.

Fortunately, these things are daily necessities and can be bought at nearby supply and marketing cooperatives.

Jiang Hui didn't take too much time to shower and came down quickly.

The couple didn't ride a bike, but went out with a net bag to do some shopping.

Of course, according to Jiang Hui's style, he must fill his stomach first before buying anything.

Even if you don't have a big meal, at least a bowl of noodles with soybean paste is fine.

The production level of the capital's noodle soup is quite good, and any store that produces it is very good.

"You actually prepared tickets for so many things."

Pots, pans, matches, rags, soy sauce, salt, oil, etc. were all bought quickly. Tickets were required to buy these things.

Jiang Hui really didn't know when Zhu Lin prepared it.

I even bought an oil barrel specifically to buy oil, which required an oil barrel ticket.

Because now cooking oil is basically sold by pound, 8 cents per pound, plus one pound of oil coupons.

The salesperson will take a special funnel and place it on the mouth of your oil barrel, then pick up a spoon and pour the oil into it.

Weigh while loading.

That scene is rarely seen in later generations.

"My mother gave me some before, and I borrowed some more from someone in the office today."

"But the honeycomb coal stove and the honeycomb coal are not easy to move. We may need to borrow a wheelbarrow or a cart from someone."

Zhu Lin took a look at the honeycomb coal stove in the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative and wanted to buy one today.

The coal briquette stove is a short cylindrical iron barrel. Four honeycomb coals can be placed inside the barrel wall, some of which can be placed vertically and some horizontally.

There is a lid on top that can be closed when the stove is not in use.

At the bottom is a small square furnace mouth with a furnace door for lighting a fire.

There is a handle on the outer barrel wall to lift the coal briquette stove.

The scene of people bending over to light the stove in front of their homes in the morning has become a fixed image of this era.

Place flammable items such as waste paper, cardboard boxes, wood blocks or corn cobs in the small stove and light them to ignite the honeycomb coal.

Wisps of green smoke came out, making the person who lit the stove cough and cry.

Lie down and blow with your mouth, or fan with a palm-leaf fan.

Lighting honeycomb coal is a technical job that also tests one's endurance.

Zhu Lin spent some time at home recently, and she studied various life skills carefully, so that she could quickly become a good wife and mother after marriage.

In her opinion, the food cooked with honeycomb coal is made with hard work and patience, and the food cooked with great effort tastes especially delicious.

Therefore, she was very enthusiastic about buying various things and decorating their little home.

"When I went out today, I seemed to see a wheelbarrow at the gate. I'll borrow it later."

Since most of the things have been purchased, why not just get it done at once?

Just with this hassle, the shower I just took wasted.

"Great, we can bring the coal back as well!"

Seeing Jiang Hui being so cooperative, Zhu Lin's face was also full of smiles.

Many families are reluctant to light a stove for heating in winter, and they have never even thought about it.

Zhu Lin's family is no exception, especially when material supplies were tight in the past few years.

Just move the coal stove into the house and you can cook and keep warm.

A curved chimney connects the honeycomb coal stove to the outside, sending the smoke produced by combustion to the outside.

A faint blue smoke drifts outside the house, giving people a warm feeling.

The heat generated by the coal briquette stove is very weak, but it heats up the home and brings warmth to life. With a coal briquette stove, the winter is not cold.

Even though it is still a hot summer, Zhu Lin has begun to fantasize about spending the winter with Jiang Hui.

Not living with their parents and without children yet, the life of the young couple during this period is definitely the most comfortable.

Zhu Lin was obviously looking forward to this.

She couldn't wait to cook and live a warm life in her own little home.
