Chapter 134 Zheng Guo is back
In the evening, today's dinner is fried noodles with soybean paste. With Han Zhuangzhuang, a big-bellied man, around, three kilograms of flour alone were used.
Lin Weimin and Han Zhuangzhuang, uncle and nephew, were sitting under a jujube tree and at the door of the east wing, eating noodles.
"Fatty, you guys should graduate in another month, right?"
Han Zhuangzhuang raised his head from the rice bowl, his mouth full of oil, "Yes."
"What are your plans after graduation?" Lin Weimin asked.
Han Zhuangzhuang looked innocent, "Let's go back to Shanghai Film Studio."
"Don't you plan to venture out in Yanjing?"
"Stay in Yanjing?" Han Zhuangzhuang stopped moving, "What about my dad?"
I didn't realize he was such a filial child.
"You stay in Yanjing for two years first, and then bring your father over when you have established yourself. By then, he will be retiring soon."
Lin Weimin's brother-in-law is seven years older than his sister and is already over 45 years old. According to Document No. 104 issued in 1978, he will be able to apply for retirement due to illness in a few years.
"Uncle, do you want me to stay in Yanjing?" Han Zhuangzhuang finally had an idea.
Lin Weimin said: "At least I can help you in Yanjing. I will be worried if you return to Shanghai!"
Even if Han Zhuangzhuang was slow-witted, he could still hear Lin Weimin's concern for them. "Then... I'll ask my dad?"
"You should communicate with him."
"By the way, uncle, my dad also told you to go to Shanghai to play during the summer vacation when you are free."
"Do you think I'm a student? I'm free during the summer vacation? Wait until you have time. Talk to your dad about the job and I can help you."
"Got it, uncle."
After the weekend, back to work as normal.
The editorial department of Contemporary Magazine was busy collecting manuscripts for the new issue in July, so Lin Weimin went to the guesthouse on the third floor.
Lu Yao has been brought back by him for more than a week, and he has behaved quite well during this period.
His face became rosy, and his minor physical ailments disappeared, but his addiction to smoking was still as strong as ever. According to the writers next door, they could smell the smoke coming from Lu Yao's dormitory next door.
"The Music of Life", oh, it should be called "Life" now. The revision progress of "Life" is very smooth.
After entering the dormitory, Lin Weimin opened the doors and windows and said, "If someone didn't know, they would think your dormitory was on fire!"
"Hey, stop driving. You've ruined my inspiration!" Lu Yao complained.
Lin Weimin took out a cigarette and threw it on the bed, "If you run out of inspiration, just keep smoking!"
Lu Yao was delighted when he saw it, "Oh, finally I have some good cigarettes to smoke."
Because he was extremely poor when he came here, Lu Yao could only smoke Tianjin Zhan Dou brand cigarettes which cost a little over ten cents a pack.
What Lin Weimin brought him today was the "Happy New Year" cigarettes that the Yunnan Yunnan Tobacco Factory had just launched during this year's Spring Festival. These cigarettes were much more expensive than fighting cigarettes.
Lu Yao couldn't wait to open the package, shook out a cigarette from the box, put it to his nose and took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.
After lighting a cigarette, he did not forget to put one behind his ear. This is called being prepared.
Lin Weimin discussed the manuscript with him in the dormitory for a while and then left the room.
In the afternoon, the weather was sultry and my colleagues in the office looked a little wilted, like eggplants hit by frost.
Lin Weimin read the manuscript for a while, then stood up and stretched himself.
"It's not even July yet, it's so tiring!" said Liu Yin.
"That's right. The summer came really early this year." Yao Shuzhi was annoyed by the heat.
Rong Shihui waved a large palm-leaf fan and said, "If you keep calm, you will feel cool naturally!"
As they were talking, there was a knock on the office door.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw a familiar face.
"Zhengguo?"
Lin Weimin exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here? Are you here to revise the manuscript?"
Zheng Guo walked into the office and his colleagues surrounded him.
Zheng Guo had lived in the back building for a long time before, and everyone was familiar with him.
"I'm not here to revise the manuscript. This time I plan to stay in Shajiabang permanently." Zheng Guo said with some joy on his face.
Liu Yin asked, "What do you mean? You were transferred to Yanjing?"
Zheng Guo nodded, "Yes, I have been transferred to the Haiding District Cultural Center now."
Everyone immediately looked at Zheng Guo with new eyes, "Xiao Zheng is great, he can be transferred across provinces."
"No, no, it was all luck."
Lin Weimin patted Zheng Guo on the shoulder and said, "I didn't realize you were capable of this."
“It was a fluke.”
No one cared whether he was lucky or not, and they all clamored for this stingy man to treat them.
It is impossible for him to treat others to a meal. It has always been Zheng State that has been blackmailing others. There is no reason for him to be blackmailed.
However, Zheng Guo finally spent some money this time and took out two bags of local specialties brought from his hometown to share with everyone.
"Everyone try it!"
Lin Weimin joked, "Okay, you are now worthy of being a public servant. You have made progress and even know how to bring things for everyone."
"Hey, isn't this just to thank everyone for taking care of me?"
After distributing the items, he whispered to Lin Weimin, "Weimin, last time I went to your house, I remembered you had some wood left, right?"
Lin Weimin immediately realized that this thing was not easy to take, and wanted to throw it away, but Zheng Guo held his hand tightly, "Look at you, how can you throw away something that your brother brought all the way here?"
"Let go!"
"I don't!"
"Let go!"
"I don't!"
The two stared at each other, and their colleagues laughed.
Finally, Lin Weimin couldn't stand the shamelessness of this guy anymore and withdrew his hand. "Why are you thinking about my little piece of wood?"
Zheng Guo chuckled and said, "I just moved into the dormitory of my company. I only have a bed but no desk. I want to make one myself."
Lin Weimin's eyes turned and he asked, "Can you do carpentry?"
"Look at what you're saying. I'm from a poor family, there's nothing I can't do! I'm not bragging..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Weimin interrupted him and said, "It's okay if I give you the wood."
"Hey, I knew you were really nice to the people..."
Zheng Guo was all smiles, and was just about to say something nice to Lin Weimin when he heard Lin Weimin say, "Help me build a bookshelf later. Just build it in the back room of our house. It will be convenient for you."
Zheng Guo hesitated for a moment, thinking that this little advantage he had taken was not worth it.
"You don't want to? Forget it!"
"No, no." Zheng Guo held Lin Weimin and bargained, "It's no problem to build a bookshelf, but you have to let me build two more chairs."
"no problem."
Lin Weimin agreed without hesitation. The last time he cleaned the yard, he had a pile of unused wood left at home.
After the two brothers finished discussing, they both showed satisfied smiles on their faces, and they both felt that they had gotten the better deal.
After work, Lin Weimin ran to the dormitory of Zheng Guo's unit to take a look. It was a dormitory of about ten square meters. There was only a bed and a cabinet in the room. Going to the toilet, cooking, and using water were all done in the public space in the corridor.
Zheng Guo was generous for once today and spent money to buy wine and food and had a drink with Lin Weimin.
