Material Empire

The ridicule made everyone completely relaxed, and Qin Hai explained the matter of buying a car to everyone, which made several people's hearts itch, and their hands even more itchy.

Qin Haidao: "Actually, what Heizi said was wrong just now. This car is not my car, but your car. After I come back, I will definitely spend more time on business trips. In Pujiang, you mainly use cars for comparison. Many. We are new here, and we are a private enterprise, so it is inevitable that people will look down on us. If you have a car, others will look at it high, this is to give you appearance."

"It will cost tens of thousands just to show off..." Qin Rongqing muttered in a low voice, "Xiao Hai, I'm afraid it will cost thirty to forty thousand to buy this car?"

"A total of seventy thousand." Qin Hai gestured with his hand and said to the crowd.

"Seventy thousand...it's not expensive." Ning Mo's vision is indeed much higher than that of Qin Rongqing. He, Yu Haitao and others all hold shares in Pingyuan Special Steel Plant. According to this year's production performance, their names The dividends from the company were worth millions, and a mere 70,000 yuan really couldn't surprise him. Of course, these bonuses are not the money he actually got. According to Qin Hai's arrangement, most of the bonuses are not distributed, but are kept in the enterprise for expanded reproduction. Even so, Ning Mo dared to say that he had seen a lot of money.

"Qin Hai, so we can all use this car?" Yu Haitao asked excitedly. He began to fantasize about a romantic scene: driving a car to the gate of the county to wait for a beautiful girl, and then, the driver Heizi dressed like a black-social thug appeared... Ah bah, this is so unpleasant ah.

"Heizi, where did you learn to drive? Is it difficult?" Yu Haitao immediately thought of a solution, that is, he should learn to drive.

"That's right, that's right, we also have to learn how to drive. We can't always let Heizi be the driver." Ning Mo and Qin Rongqing also came to their senses and demanded together.

Qin Hai waved his hand with a smile, and said, "I've already made up my mind. After you arrive in Pujiang, I will arrange for you to learn how to drive. The Pujiang Automobile Factory has a perennial training school. The localization office will issue a certificate, and you can go to the school. Learning is quick. However, we have to say something first, and we absolutely cannot do things like driving a car to bully men and women. "

"Haha, Qin Hai, don't worry!" Everyone laughed together, their spirits lifted, and their hearts were full of longing for the future life.

Heizi drove into a narrow alley, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated three-story building. This kind of small building was very common in those days, it was the so-called tube building, and Qin Hai lived in this kind of dormitory in Qingfeng Factory.

If Ning Mo and the others want to come to Pujiang, they first need to solve the problem of accommodation. There were not so many rental houses in those days, and it was very difficult for outsiders to find a place to live.

This problem was finally solved with the help of Lu Xiaolin. This girl usually looks a little arrogant, but her way is quite wild. Through some relationship, she found two vacant rooms in the dormitory of a certain unit, which could be used to accommodate Ning Mo and others.

Heizi led everyone into the tube building, came to the second floor, knocked on the door of one of the houses, and called out obediently: "Aunt Zhou, I'm Xiaofu."

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with curly hair on her head, wearing pajamas and well-maintained skin appeared at the door. She looked at Heizi and Qin Hai, Ning Mo and others who were following Heizi, smiled reservedly, and said, "Are you here?"

"Hello, Aunt Zhou!" Several young people shouted unevenly. Heizi had introduced them in advance that this middle-aged woman was their landlord, named Zhou Quanmei, an employee of a certain unit in Pujiang. As for how Zhou Quanmei could get two rentable rooms in Pujiang where housing is so tight, this is not something that Qin Hai and the others need to care about.

"Come with me." Holding two keys in her hand, Zhou Quanmei led Qin Hai and his party to the end of the corridor, then used the keys to open the doors on both sides, and said, "It's these two houses, you bring your luggage in." Bar."

Ning Mo and others took their luggage into the room, and Zhou Quanmei followed in, then closed the door casually, and began to make N chapters for several young people:

"You live in this house, don't tell people that it is rented, just say that your unit arranged for it to come in. The people in this building are very talkative, and some things will be passed around if they are passed on. It's..."

"On this wall, don't nail indiscriminately. If the wall is damaged, it will be very troublesome to repaint. Let me see, one, two, three, four, five... there are already five nails, you guys If you have something to hang, just hang it on these five nails, don’t nail other nails, or people in the future won’t be able to live..."

"The place to wash clothes is in the bathroom. After you wash your clothes, you can hang them outside the window, but you have to wring out the water first. If it drips down, the people below will comment. You are now When we are in the city, we have to talk about social morality..."

"There is a public kitchen at the corner of the stairs, which is shared by six families. If you go to the kitchen to cook and eat at night, remember not to turn on other people's lights by mistake, just turn on your own lights..."

"What do you call your own lamp?" Yu Haitao finally couldn't help asking. He could understand the previous content to some extent, but he really couldn't understand the point about not turning on other people's lights when going to the kitchen.

Zhou Quanmei didn't bother to explain, so she took a few people to the public kitchen. Everyone looked up and saw that there were exactly six light bulbs hanging above the small kitchen. Write down the corresponding room number.

"These two lamps belong to you." Zhou Quanmei told everyone as she pulled two lamp ropes.

"But... why is that?" Ning Mo felt very puzzled. A kitchen has six lights and six switches. Is it because Pujiang's supplies are so abundant that they are in surplus?

Qin Hai knew the reason. He smiled, patted Ning Mo on the shoulder, and said, "This involves the sharing of electricity bills. Each uses its own lamp head, so there is no such trouble."

"This young man is quite right. Neighbors are together, so we can distinguish them clearly to avoid conflicts." Zhou Quanmei said with satisfaction, "By the way, you live here, and you should live in harmony with your neighbors. We old neighbors Everyone is getting along pretty well, don't make everyone unhappy because of the few of you."

After finally sending Zhou Quanmei away, Ning Mo scratched his head and said to Qin Hai, "This is the big city you've been bragging about? Why do I think it's not as good as our Pingyuan?"

Qin Hai smiled and said: "That's because you lack a pair of eyes for discovery. Let's just say that Aunt Zhou is about the same age as Aunt Song. Do you think she is better at dressing up than Aunt Song?"

"I don't think so." Yu Haitao shook his head and said, "She perms her head like a chicken coop. She must have done it in a small shop. The official barber shop on Pingyuan Street will not perm like this."

"Also, one lamp holder in this household is too fussy, isn't it? Isn't it just a kitchen, and everyone can share the electricity bill equally. As for the calculation so finely?" Qin Rongqing also muttered and commented.

Qin Haidao: "Okay, every place has its own characteristics. Since we are here, we have to do as the Romans do. You can do what Aunt Zhou said just now? I don't want you to come here just because of these trivial things. Things are contradictory."

"Qin Hai, don't worry, we are all adults now, we can do all these things." Yu Haitao replied.

The two rooms used to have two single beds, which happened to allow Ning Mo and Hei Zi to live separately. When assigning rooms, Ning Mo and Heizi chose to share one room, while Yu Haitao and Qin Rongqing lived in another room. To live for a long time, everyone still lacks tables, chairs, buckets, washbasins, etc. Qin Hai told Heizi to go and buy them separately later.

After packing up, the group went downstairs, ready to drive to Pujiang City, and find a place to have lunch by the way. When they came downstairs, everyone found that Zhou Quanmei was carrying a vegetable basket, circling back and forth around the Pusang car they drove.

"Aunt Zhou, are you going to buy vegetables?" Qin Hai walked over and greeted warmly.

"Yeah, yeah, why, Xiaoqin, are you driving this car?" Zhou Quanmei asked in surprise when she saw several people walking towards the car. As for the names of Qin Hai and the others, she had already asked them just now, so she was able to call them out accurately.

"Yes, this is... our unit's car." Qin Hai finally didn't dare to say that it was his personal car, because it was too shocking.

Zhou Quanmei stared wide-eyed: "Oh--your unit is so well-established that you have such a good car. Xiao Fu is driving for the leader, right? Your leader trusts you so much that you are allowed to drive the car by yourself. .”

"Hehe, yes, Xiao Fu is quite valued by the leaders. As for this car, it's not that Xiao Fu drove it privately, but because we have to run some business these days, the leader specially allocated the car for us. "Qin Hai said, for a gossiping woman like Zhou Quanmei, it is better to give a reasonable explanation for some things first.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's great. The leader allocated all the cars to you." Zhou Quanmei looked envious, and when she looked at Qin Hai and the others, her previous sense of superiority disappeared, and it became more flattering. .

Yu Haitao is a person who knows what to do. Seeing this situation, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhou, this car is assigned to us by the leader. Usually, if Aunt Zhou has anything to use the car, just ask. As long as we The car is idle, wouldn't it be very casual to help you take a trip?"

"Okay, okay." Zhou Quanmei responded repeatedly, with words of praise pouring out of her mouth: "I see that you are quite capable, tsk tsk, you are so young, you can get the attention of the leaders, and you will definitely be able to do well in the future." A big deal."

"Uh...Aunt Zhou, you are busy, let's go first." Qin Hai couldn't take it anymore, he hurriedly pushed everyone into the car, and then let Heizi start the engine and fled.
