Ye Zhiqiu quickly brought the car to the location, and at this time everyone in the family ran out.
He gave the driver some cigarettes, and when he learned his name was Zhao Gang, Ye Zhiqiu called him Brother Gang. He took out a pack of Daqianmen and stuffed it into Zhao Gang's hand, saying with a smile, "Brother Gang, thank you so much for troubling me! I can't even get you a drink of water while I'm moving. Go smoke a cigarette first, and we'll be able to load the things into the car soon."
Zhao Gang was very satisfied with the unexpected extra money. He waved his hand and said, "We are all workers. Don't be polite. Xiaoye, you can go and move the things. I'll find a toilet over here."
Ye Zhiqiu pointed the direction to Zhao Gang, and he went to the car. His family members were responsible for carrying the things over, and he stacked them in the car by himself.
This was quite quick, the car was loaded in forty minutes.
Let Ye Wubing and Ye Bailu sit in the passenger seat, while Ye Zhiqiu and his parents sit in the cargo compartment with stools.
As the car started, Ye Tianya looked at the place where he had worked for ten years, and felt a little emotional for a moment.
Wang Xiaolan secretly wiped away her tears, and Ye Zhiqiu quickly comforted her: "Mom, you feel a little sad now. I can guarantee that in two years, you will be glad that we left early!"
"Boss, I can't help but feel sad just thinking about leaving. After all, I've watched you grow up little by little here..."
Ye Tianya put his arm around Wang Xiaolan's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Aren't the children here with you?"
Ye Zhiqiu could understand this. It would be a lie to say that there was no emotion in a place that held so many memories. But people had to move forward. No matter how much emotion they had, they couldn't stay in the same place forever!
Sanlitun, as the name suggests, is a village. Unlike later times, Sanlitun at that time was still used for growing crops and vegetables, and the land was agricultural in nature.
The yard allocated to the brewery actually consists of two large yards, which are also home to the brewery workers, and are not far from the small yard No. 16 rented to Ye Zhiqiu's family.
It's about two kilometers from the brewery, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk. It's not far, and this distance is quite good.
After the car stopped, Zhao Gang handed the keys to Ye Zhiqiu and said, "I don't know what happened at the factory, but this is the only set of keys we have. You need to give them to your family members!"
"It's okay, I'll go get the key later. Thank you for your hard work this time, brother."
"Well, you're welcome. Go ahead and move the things first. When you've unloaded everything, I'll go back to the factory and wait for the next assignment."
Ye Zhiqiu agreed and hurried to unload the things, first unloading them onto the road nearby.
Ten minutes later, all the things were unloaded to the side. After seeing Zhao Gang off, Ye Zhiqiu took the key and opened the gate.
The family walked in with great anticipation. To everyone's surprise, this courtyard actually had five main rooms. The living room had no partitions and was a full 30 square meters, so it was very spacious!
The rooms on both sides of the living room are bedrooms of about 20 square meters. The east and west wings are about 30 square meters. I don’t know how the house was designed. Maybe it’s for brothers?
There was a separate water closet, a manure pit that led to somewhere outside, a pigpen, and the entrance to what should have been the back house was used as a kitchen and warehouse.
The entire middle yard was nearly fifty square meters. Wang Xiaolan was delighted. With such a wide space, she could plant a lot of things.
Next, Wang Xiaolan went to sweep the floor and clean, while the father and his two sons were responsible for moving things in, and Ye Bailu was responsible for sitting on a mat next to the door and watching things.
But we can't overestimate human nature. There will be people passing by who may take something they think is suitable.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock that I finally moved all the things in. Then I had lunch and could slowly start to tidy up.
I didn't have time to cook much, so I just chopped up some of the dried duck Ye Zhiqiu had bought and cooked some porridge. I also blanched some lettuce I'd grown myself, added some oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic, and mixed it all together.
Ye Zhiqiu chose the west wing because there was a pigpen next to the east wing. He would clean it up and raise the remaining 26 rabbits there.
After washing their hands, we sat in the empty living room and drank the porridge happily.
"Boss, I see there's a lot of land outside. This is quite far from the village. Isn't it a long way to get to work?"
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed the lettuce in his mouth and replied, "Mom, this place is not far from the factory, only two kilometers away. If Dad walks fast, it will only take twenty minutes."
Ye Tianya asked curiously: "What do you mean by 'walk faster'? Are you walking faster?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and replied, "Dad, have you forgotten? I'm a purchasing agent, and the factory provides bicycles! But the bicycles in the factory all have panniers, so they can't carry people at all."
Everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten about Ye Zhiqiu's job. They had seen many purchasing agents and knew the saddle basket he was talking about.
In the past, Wang Xiaolan sold all her chicken and duck eggs to purchasing agents. These agents came from various factories, even state-owned restaurants, who would come to the countryside to buy supplies.
Ye Tianya said enviously, "Son, do you know what kind of job Dad has assigned you? I wish I could be a buyer too. At least I could ride a bicycle..."
A bicycle made in 1958 wasn't just a bicycle; it was a luxury car! Any young man, any worker, who owned a bicycle would have many matchmakers visiting him, happy to arrange a blind date for him.
Bicycle tickets were incredibly hard to come by, even if you had money. A Fei Ge 28-inch bicycle cost 210 yuan, but buying one from a ticket scalper would cost 150 yuan.
An average worker’s annual salary is enough to buy a bicycle, but with living expenses and various other expenses, it would take an average person three years to save up that much money.
Unfortunately, during the five difficult years, it was almost impossible to save any money! So after the natural disaster, everyone was able to save money again, and gradually a large bicycle army was formed.
"Dad, Mom, is there anything we need to buy at home? I'm going to go out and get a key. We don't have one here, so I'll have to go a long way to get one. Plus, I promised to buy roast duck for my second son and my little sister, so if there's anything we need at home, I'll buy it for us."
"Boss, Dad is out of cigarettes, and I'm not familiar with this place. Can you get me some tobacco?"
"Boss, does this roast duck need a meat ticket? How much money do you have left? How much should I give you?"
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to laugh secretly, but Wang Xiaolan was worried about the money, so he quickly said, "Don't worry about the meat coupons. I still have a few dozen yuan from selling game. Mom, don't worry about my little money. The 900 yuan you worked so hard to save is all back."
When I find a suitable job, I'll have to use a few hundred yuan from this money to buy you a job. That way, your younger brother and sister can register with you, and our whole family will have enough. "
