The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 115: Fifty boards each

The next morning, Shen Zhiping woke up, got dressed and went out, and saw that the sky outside was clear without a single cloud.

It’s a sunny day!

Unfortunately, sunny days in winter don’t raise the temperature much, and it’s still cold.

However, once the weather clears up, the snow on the road will no longer accumulate and snow clearing work will soon be put on the agenda.

Shen Zhiping went to make breakfast and then woke up Liu Wanqing.

"Let me sleep a little longer!"

When Liu Wanqing heard Shen Zhiping's call, she turned over sleepily.

Shen Zhiping smiled and did not urge Liu Wanqing anymore. Instead, he let her continue sleeping for five minutes before calling her again.

"Very sleepy!"

Liu Wanqing woke up reluctantly, "What time is it now?"

"It's just the right time. I can have breakfast and won't be late!"

"It's okay to be late!"

"After all, the road is covered with snow, and it's not easy to walk."

Although the heavy snow stopped last night, the snow is still piled up on the road, making the commute to work still difficult.

It snowed so heavily yesterday that all the buses stopped running.

After breakfast, the two chatted for a while and then set off for work.

Shen Zhiping still led the way for Liu Wanqing. He sent Liu Wanqing to the unit first, and then Shen Zhiping rushed to the steel rolling mill.

There is still no call from the steel mill.

Without electricity, we naturally cannot start work.

However, the factory did not plan to start work, but arranged workers to go to the streets to clear the snow on the roads. The entire area covered by the steel rolling mill was within the cleaning range.

Everyone was doing this all morning.

It was not until he finished his morning work and had lunch that Shen Zhiping had time to tell Lou Xiao'e about Xu Damao's appearance in the courtyard yesterday.

By the way, Shen Zhiping pointed out to Lou Xiao'e and asked her to tell her family to deal with all the things that needed to be dealt with, and to hide what should be hidden and throw away what should be thrown away!

As for whether the Lou family should leave this matter?
Shen Zhiping doesn't talk too much.

Firstly, they don't have this kind of relationship, and secondly, he has to avoid suspicion.

Although it was Lou Bancheng's idea for Lou Xiao'e to lend him the thousand yuan, Shen Zhiping had already repaid the favor by helping Lou Xiao'e see Xu Damao's true face early and allowing her to separate from Xu Damao earlier.

In fact, Shen Zhiping was a little unsure about what the Lou family was thinking.

His colleagues next door could easily persuade Lou Bancheng to take his family away, but Shen Zhiping didn't think he could do it.

Talking about deep things with people you just met is a big taboo when dealing with people.

In the afternoon, the power supply to the steel mill was restored.

However, production was still not resumed, but an end-of-year summary meeting was held.

Shen Zhiping was honored to be awarded the honorary title of Outstanding Technician of the Steel Rolling Mill, and received a certificate and a large porcelain jar with the words "Labor is Glorious, Serving the People" inscribed on it.

The year-end summary meeting is over and the New Year holiday officially begins.

The factory arranged a celebration with a movie screening.

Xu Damao, the projectionist, was released from the Security Department because of this, but Yi Zhonghai was still shivering in the Security Department's confinement room.

Qin Fen brought the men back and threw them into the confinement room, and never cared about them again.

In his opinion, this was nothing more than an ordinary fight and there was no need for interrogation.

Now that the factory was going to show movies, Xu Damao, as the factory's projectionist, was naturally released temporarily.

After the movie is over, Xu Damao will be sent back to the confinement room.

The security department did not intend to distinguish the right and wrong of the fight between the two people, and gave each of them fifty lashes. After all, it takes two hands to clap! The funny thing is that Xu Damao didn't know that he was only released temporarily. When he left the confinement room, he proudly showed off to Yi Zhonghai.

It's a sunny day and the sun is very bright.

But the temperature was very low and it was freezing.

Although the factory arranged to show movies, there were not many people who were interested in watching the movie. However, no matter how many people watched the movie, even if there was only one person, Xu Damao, the projectionist, had to stick to his post.

Shen Zhiping had no intention of watching the movie.

After confirming the holiday, he went to the Grain Bureau.

The electricity at the Grain Bureau was also restored, so Liu Wanqing and the others were still at work. Although there was not much work to do, they had to continue sitting in the office until it was time for the holiday.

After Shen Zhiping confirmed that everyone at the Grain Bureau was at work, he did not ask anyone to call Liu Wanqing, but went straight to the market.

It’s the New Year, so I have to buy more delicious food.

When Shen Zhiping arrived at the market, he found that there were quite a lot of people here, and it was crowded.

Of course, there are a lot of supplies in the market, so it’s not like they will be sold out in just a little bit.

But unfortunately, at this moment in the market, there were long queues at all the stalls.

Shen Zhiping was alone and could only choose one stall to queue up.

"Forget it, let's go home!"

Shen Zhiping finally chose to give up. Looking at the situation of rushing to buy New Year's goods, he felt that he would not be able to buy much at all. Instead, he would have to waste time here and suffer the cold.

Although there are not many things at home, it’s still okay to celebrate the New Year.

When it breaks, it breaks!

Shen Zhiping didn't hesitate at all and left quickly.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui as soon as he entered the door. This courtyard door god was really competent. Even in such a cold weather, he couldn't stop him from setting up a stall at the door!
When Shen Zhiping saw the small stall in front of Yan Bugui, he smiled. The stall for selling New Year's couplets was ready.

"Teacher Yan, you are writing couplets!"

"Engineer Shen, come here, this is prepared for you, take a look, is it ok?"

Yan Bugui looked at Shen Zhiping approaching, smiled and spoke, picking up two pairs of couplets that had already been written from the table.

Shen Zhiping took a quick look, gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up, and said, "Teacher Yan, your handwriting is not bad!"

"I can't take your couplet for nothing. Here, this is the fee for writing it!"

Shen Zhiping took out a dime from his pocket and put it on the plate on the desk. He then bowed to Yan Bugui and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yan!"

After saying this, Shen Zhiping took the two couplets and prepared to return to his East Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps when he heard someone behind him say, "Excuse me, does Engineer Shen Zhiping live in this courtyard?"

Hearing the voice, Shen Zhiping stopped and looked back.

When Shen Zhiping saw the person asking the question, he immediately laughed.

"Director Zhao!"

"Hey, Engineer Shen!"

The visitor was the director of a steel plant in Northeast China, his surname was Zhao and his name was Xingrui.

When Shen Zhiping led people to various factories in Northeast China to teach the modification of three-roll rolling mills, he got along quite well with Director Zhao. When they said goodbye, Shen Zhiping left his home address and told him that he could come to see him when he arrived in Beijing.

I never thought that the other party would come here at this time!

"Director Zhao, it's almost Chinese New Year, why are you here now?"

"Let's go, let's go home and sit down first!"

Shen Zhiping spoke immediately.

Zhao Xingrui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are still people outside!"
