Chapter 88 Walking
December 1st.
It's payday at the department store again.
Zhao Yi received this month's salary, and Zhang Jing also received her second apprentice salary.
Li Fang and Peng Yiju had only been there for about ten days and had only received a few dollars.
noon.
The two bought some things and came to visit.
"Brother Yi, I heard that you are going to take a leave this afternoon. Can we ask you to bring our wages back?"
Li Fang looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"When we came out, the team leader told us to keep our wages for ourselves. We also need money to treat the director and the master to a meal and to make friends with the workers. It takes money to maintain good relationships in the factory."
Zhao Yi recalled Li Dequan's instructions and said.
Both of them had food coupons that Li Dequan had exchanged in the commune, hoping that they could get along well with other workers in the factory.
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, the two nodded and put the money back into their pockets.
After lunch, Zhao Yi rushed to the station carrying five pounds of meat and caught today's bus to Shanyang County.
When Zhao Yi arrived in Shanyang County, he did not return to the village immediately, but went to visit his brother-in-law Zhang Jun.
Zhao Yi arrived at the door of the department store repair shop.
At this time, Zhang Jun was also sitting by the small stove and listening to the radio, and his life was quite comfortable.
"Brother."
Zhao Yi shouted with a smile.
"Xiao Yi, why are you here? Come in and sit down. It's warmer inside."
Zhang Jun immediately stood up and tried to pull Zhao Yi into the house.
Zhao Yi smiled and handed over the thing in his hand.
"It's enough for you to just come. Why do you need to bring gifts?"
Zhang Jun was very happy, if it weren't for Zhao Yi he would not have been able to become a worker. This favor might be something he would never be able to repay in his lifetime. He finally experienced the treatment of a worker, with a monthly salary of thirty-six yuan, labor protection clothes, and various receipts he had never seen before.
This life is so much better than in the countryside.
Now my wife is also in the city, working as a fake collar worker in a department store, and she can earn 9 yuan a month. Although the food supply is still with the team, she only needs to take home 5 yuan a month, and the villagers will deliver food to her.
"I came here to visit my aunts. How could I not come to see you while passing by?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
The two chatted for an unknown amount of time. After glancing at the clock on the wall, Zhang Jun went out. Not long after, he came back with some things he bought and forced them on Zhao Yi.
"When you visit your aunt, remember to come over for dinner tonight."
Zhang Jun explained.
"I'm afraid I can't today. If I don't eat, my aunt will really beat me. I have to come here to take the bus tomorrow morning, and then I'll have lunch here."
Zhao Yi said.
"Okay, then I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare dinner for you tomorrow at noon. I'll be angry if you don't come."
Zhang Jun said seriously.
"Got it, big brother. I'll go there first and come back tomorrow."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he waved his hand and then walked towards the tube building.
There are only a few tube-shaped buildings in the county town. These tube-shaped buildings are where workers from various factories or families of cadres live.
When Zhao Yi arrived at his aunt's house, she had not yet finished get off work. After putting down two kilograms of meat and some gifts, Zhao Yi went to his second aunt's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I met my second aunt coming back from get off work.
"Xiao Yi."
When Second Aunt Zhao Qin saw Zhao Yi, her face immediately broke into smiles.
"cousin."
The two little guys also smiled when they saw Zhao Yi.
"Aunt, little brother and little sister."
Zhao Yi also greeted.
Second Aunt hurriedly pulled Zhao Yi into the main room, asked him to sit for a while, and then immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
As soon as dinner was ready, my aunt Zhao Yu and my uncle-in-law came over.
"You little bastard came to our house and ran away without even eating."
The young aunt started cursing as soon as she entered the room, but there was a smile on her face.
"I can't do anything about it, little aunt. If I go to your place instead of coming to second aunt's place, second aunt will beat me up later."
Zhao Yi spread his hands helplessly.
"Xiaoyu, Xu Ming is here, let's have dinner together. It's rare to meet this busy man."
Second Aunt said with a smile, and then brought the prepared food to the table.
Seeing that there was no meat on the table, Zhao Yu knew that his second sister must not have had the chance to see the gift from his nephew, so he did not expose the truth. Instead, he smiled and chatted with Zhao Yi about local affairs, and also asked about Zhang Jing's recent situation.
After the meal, everyone had a happy chat.
"Second aunt, second uncle, youngest aunt, youngest uncle, I have to go back, otherwise I will miss the tractor back to the commune. I have to go see my parents when I come back."
After dinner, they chatted for a while before Zhao Yi said this.
"Okay, drive slowly. Come over and sit with me more often when you're free. Remember to bring Xiaojing with you next time."
Everyone escorted Zhao Yi out of the city and to the edge of the city. The second uncle was still pushing a bicycle, fearing that Zhao Yi would miss the tractor and ride back to the village. When they saw Zhao Yi getting on the tractor and driving away, everyone turned around and walked back.
When my second aunt and uncle came home, the two little ones had already picked up the pastries sent by their cousin and started showing off.
"Didn't we just have dinner? Are you two hungry again? The food is gone?"
Second Aunt looked at her two children and scolded with a smile.
"Mom, my cousin brought some meat. Look."
"This child, he definitely can't even eat it himself, so he gave it to us just to save face."
Zhao Qin looked at the meat on the table with deep emotion.
One of the two is a temporary worker and the other is a regular worker, and the workers are clear about how much meat they can get in a month.
“This child has a kind heart.”
The second uncle took over the conversation.
The sky gradually darkened and Zhao Yi walked back to the village empty-handed.
He went to Zhao Laowu's house as soon as possible, spent a few cents to buy ten kilograms of food, and then walked home.
The last time his father went to the city, Zhao Yi asked him to bring back some gifts, so he didn't need to bring any gifts this time.
As soon as Zhao Yi walked in, he saw Li Daju standing at the door of the pigpen in a daze.
"What's wrong, mom?"
Zhao Yi asked.
Hearing Zhao Yi's voice, Li Daju turned around.
"This pig must be over 200 kilograms. It's not a good idea for Xiaoyi to continue raising it like this. After handing in the pig for the mission, he will also kill the one he raised. It's a waste of food."
Li Daju said after seeing that it was Zhao Yi.
"Okay, I'll drive the pigs to the commune tomorrow."
Zhao Yi nodded.
After saying that, Zhao Yi handed the food in his hand to Li Daju.
"Where's my dad?"
Zhao Yi walked into the main room and asked when he didn't see Zhao Dahai.
"I went to your grandmother's house."
Li Daju responded.
After saying that, he went into the kitchen to get busy.
"I've eaten at my second aunt's house, and I just came back to see you."
Zhao Yi refused.
"Then have a sugar-water egg."
Li Daju said, ignoring Zhao Yi, and started to work on her own.
"Mom, please take care of me while I go to the captain's house."
Zhao Yi shouted towards the kitchen, then walked towards Li De's family. He had to tell them about Li Fang and the others' recent situation in the city.
