Chapter 158 Golden Ring (Second Update)

Liu Hai was on vacation. Liu Hai remembered what the factory director said. When he came back from vacation, he would start working on the engine industry chain, single-cylinder, dual-cylinder, four-cylinder, six-cylinder, twelve-cylinder. He would start researching the materials.

Liu Hai went to the Dahongmen Meat Factory and bought five kilograms of lard, some pig meat, and two packs of cigarettes for Sun Desheng. This is how relationships go.

In the suburbs of Kyoto in mid-February, there were almost no people around. Liu Hai still carried a submachine gun and rifle, and a pistol in his schoolbag.

But for people like Liu Hai, even if they have any thoughts, they stay away from it. Why?

The people who can ride motorcycles these days are more awesome than the people who drive Rolls-Royces in modern times, let alone green motorcycles. The people who drive motorcycles still have submachine guns hanging on their chests. They are so pure that they are looking for death. Besides, Well, the area around Kyoto is, after all, the area around Kyoto, not a place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

As soon as he returned to the village, the captain came to the door and Liu Hai took out two packs of cigarettes.

"Uncle, I want to renovate this house, and I'll pay for it." Liu Hai took out the bench and gave it to the captain. The captain put two packs of cigarettes into his pocket, reluctant to smoke, so he smoked his own dry cigarettes.

When the captain heard this, he asked: "Zhong, how do you repair it? Go and remove the bricks?"

Liu Hai knew what the captain meant, shook his head and said: "It is still rammed earth, the foundation is higher, and there are more repairs. The east and west wings are also repaired, and they still have thatched roofs."

Liu Hai didn't want to build a brick house, that would be too conspicuous, and a thatched house is not conspicuous.

"Zhong, when we can start work, I will find someone to do it for you. It will be done in half a month." The captain nodded immediately when he heard that it was going to be done like this.

"Uncle came to my house for dinner in the evening. He calculated how much it would cost and found a few witnesses. I gave the money first and bought a pig." Liu Hai added.

The captain nodded, and then went to find the clerk. After the captain left, Liu Dalin came again.

When Liu Dalin heard that Liu Hai was on a business trip, he nodded. Liu Hai gave Liu Dalin lard, like a pig in water, and asked Liu Dalin to eat with him in the evening.

Everything in the house was clean. It seemed that Wang Hongmei or someone was cleaning it. Liu Hai burned the kang first to dissipate the moisture.

In the evening, inside Liu Hai's main room, the kerosene lamp glowed dimly. The dishes on the table were very simple. Potatoes were boiled in water and sauce was cooked in a wooden basin and a large basin.

Liu Dalin, Liu Hai, the captain, the clerk, and the village chief also came. They ate first, ate vegetables, and drank wine. They talked about things only when they had enough food in their stomachs.

The captain then said: "Xiaohai, I asked the clerk to do the math this afternoon. According to what you said, sixty yuan is enough. You don't care about anything and I promise to get it done for you."

"Win." Liu Hai also knew that it didn't cost much money, and the rammed earth building was not a brick and wood structure. Liu Hai left it to the captain to do it, but there was no one to argue with him during the repair.

When building a house in rural areas, the owner sometimes has to make calculations. For example, if you don't have a good relationship with your neighbor, then if you want to find a contractor, it's best to find someone who is related to the neighbor or someone who has some influence in the local area. In this way, you only need to If you don't overdo it, there won't be any problems.

What you are looking for is your neighbor's enemy, then the fun will be great. The neighbor next door will always look for trouble.

The same goes for transporting materials. You can also find a neighbor next door to have a relationship with you. If you bump into each other occasionally, the neighbor can't turn against you.

This does not mean that you are weak, but what? It means that you will be less troublesome. If your neighbors deliberately make trouble when repairing your house, you will be disgusted and don't want to do it.

If you fix your bangs yourself, you can guarantee that your neighbors won’t find trouble, and maybe you’ll be bullied by the loudmouthed cadres.

If the captain organizes the work and the neighbors yell like this, the captain might sneer: If you don't ask for goods, you will be bullied, what the heck!

He sent the captain home, and the village chief also sent him home. He was very drunk.

There is no way, although this time is not as difficult as the later one, there is nothing good about it.

The big pot of food was almost eaten, and all the remaining bangs were sent to the captain's house.

"Really gave it to me?" Wang Hongmei lay in Liu Hai's arms at night, looking at the gold ring on her finger. Although it was just a circle, there was no gem.

Liu Hai nodded. This was gold jewelry from the aircraft carrier. He melted it and made it himself. Wang Hongmei looked at the gold ring under the oil lamp and her heart melted. This was a gold ring, and she took the initiative to serve it.

Bangs felt very happy, women just want to be coaxed, there are so many rings on the aircraft carrier, and there are many diamond rings, and it costs a lot of money to pull the diamonds off.

Westerners buy a lot of diamond rings. The bangs haven’t finished counting them yet, but it’s definitely in the thousands. The only trouble is that there are marks on the diamonds, and some of them have the owner’s name engraved on them. If they want to cash in, they need to be disposed of.

The next day I went to the captain to pay the money and got a receipt.

On the third day, I went up to the mountain to hunt wild boars. Wild boars are more conspicuous in winter. I killed three of them and the team ate them together.

On the fourth day, Liu Hai drank the wine he brewed years ago, which tasted good. Wang Hongmei ate the heated canned crab and asked curiously: "Is there really such a big crab as you mentioned?"

"Well, there are more than what I said."

"That's not crab spirit anymore."

"In the sea."

"How about this caviar?"

"Not delicious, fishy."

"I don't feel good about it either."

"When the house is being built, these things should be placed in your home." Liu Hai added.

"Fine." Wang Hongmei also drank red wine and finished a box of canned crab meat.

Wang Hongmei would not take away a box of canned crabmeat and caviar, but would take the canned boxes with her.

There is not much in Liu Hai's hometown. It can be said that the family is bare. Some of the clothes in the box are also patched. There is some money in the box, but not much. Wang Hongmei knows that.

After staying at home for a few days, Liu Hai didn’t bring anything with him into the city. One was that it was inappropriate to shoot rabbits with a rifle. Besides, Liu Hai’s current status was not suitable for such things. It was okay to bring him once in a while, but it would give people a cheap feeling every time. Feel.

Liu Hai didn't tell Wang Hongmei about work, nor did she say that she had anything written by her boss, or that she was on a business trip. There were more than ten yuan in the box at home, and she left an extra ten yuan to buy some cigarettes or other things while repairing the house. hospitality workers.

Back at the factory, Liu Hai handed in the guns and everything and started to go to work.

"The laboratory needs to add equipment." Looking at his empty laboratory, Liu Hai thought for a while. He needed to add equipment and start up materials research. He also wanted to make pistols and stamping dies. Of course, materials must also be made. .

"Make your own equipment." Liu Hai has had this idea for a long time. The most sophisticated mother machines are basically made by hand.

Liu Hai started to get busy, frequently going in and out of the material warehouse. The 250 single-cylinder air-cooled naturally aspirated gasoline engine was put on Liu Hai's agenda and he strived to complete the engine test within two months.

What Liu Hai didn't know was that as soon as he left, someone came to Wang Hongmei's family. They were Wang Hongmei's natal family.

"Hongmei, do you have any money in your hand?" Before Wang Hongmei's mother left, she hesitated and asked her daughter as she was sending her out.

Wang Hongmei lived in Wangjiatun next door, less than two kilometers away. Wang Hongmei's mother knew that Wang Hongmei had one outside and was still working as a worker in the city. Wang Hongmei's family didn't have any objections because Wang Hongmei's parents-in-law asked Wang Hongmei to do this.

Wang Hongmei hesitated and asked: "Mom, what do you want money for?"
