Chapter 419 What Kind of Bird Can It Be?
Originally, Lei Laoliu and his team planned to spend one day preparing materials and start work the next day.
However, it was unexpected.
All kinds of building materials on the market are in short supply!
Especially on the black market, the prices have generally increased by 20%, and most of them are still unavailable.
Although Lei Laoliu has a wide network of contacts in the industry, he is in a hurry and it is difficult to deal with it.
He had to run to Du Fei again to say hello and give him two days.
Du Fei didn't care about the one or two days. ??
Although Du Fei didn't say it, he knew it in his heart.
The reason for this situation is actually a manifestation of the tense situation.
In this era, there is no free market economy.
The things that flow out of the black market are all unplanned materials privately obtained by various units.
And in this world, there is never a shortage of smart people.
As the newspapers and radio continue to blow the wind.
Many people have already found that the wind is not in the right direction, and they are more cautious in doing things, and some simply give up.
Naturally, there is a shortage of things on the market.
But it should be said that Lei Laoliu is really good at what he does.
Under such circumstances, it took only two days to prepare all the materials and start the work on both sides.
After the work started, the deaf old lady moved to the house of the eldest uncle in the middle courtyard for a few days.
Sha Zhu lived in the house of his sister He Yushui.
Speaking of which, Sha Zhu's family can be said to have the best living conditions in the entire courtyard.
The two best main rooms in the middle courtyard belonged to their family, and in addition, they occupied a small ear room, which was originally occupied by his sister.
Unfortunately, their family is still small. Even if Sha Zhu's parents were counted, there were only four people in total.
After He Yushui got married a few years ago, Sha Zhu's family had a more spacious house.
Thursday morning.
Du Fei rode his bike to work as usual.
After checking in at the unit, he said hello to Section Chief Qian.
He left the street office under the pretext of submitting materials to the district and rode his bike back to the courtyard.
It was just past nine o'clock at this time.
There was a "ding-dong-dong" sound of construction chiseling the wall in the yard.
Du Fei pushed the cart into the yard.
As soon as he walked to the hanging flower gate of the second courtyard, he met the three aunts standing by and watching the excitement, as well as several old women in the yard.
The group of people couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Du Fei coming back.
The three aunts asked, "Hey~ Little Du, what's wrong with you today? Why did you come back?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Oh! The materials for the afternoon meeting were left at home."
It's not uncommon to come back to get something if you forget to bring it.
Everyone separated and let Du Fei go in with the cart.
As soon as Du Fei arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw two men removing windows and doors at Sha Zhu's house.
Du Fei was very familiar with this routine.
However, after a look around, he didn't see Lei Laoliu at the scene.
Du Fei didn't care about him and pushed the cart back to the backyard.
The same process was followed at the deaf old lady's house.
Wei Duzi was the leader, leading two young men.
One of them had worked at Du Fei's house last time, but the other was a stranger.
Auntie One was holding Xiaoling, and the deaf old lady was watching the fun on the side.
Seeing Du Fei coming back, she asked the same question to Auntie Three again.
Du Fei answered perfunctorily.
He said hello to Wei Duzi, then parked the car and returned to his own home.
After entering the house, he listened carefully to the construction noise outside.
Because the front and back yards were working together, the "bang bang" sound of the hammer and the "crunch clack" sound of sawing wood mixed together, making it very noisy.
This is what Du Fei wanted!
He stood at the door and waited for a while.
The deaf old lady was old, and after watching the fun for a while, she soon couldn't stand it anymore, and went back to the middle yard with Auntie One and the child.
Du Fei saw the opportunity and came out of the house.
Wei Duzi and the two were busy working, and no one noticed him.
He walked quickly along the corridor in front of his house to the next door, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and slipped in.
Since Qin Jingru bought the house, the door has been locked, and the key is in Du Fei's hand.
Before, Liu Guangfu attracted that rat and lived in secretly.
He just pried open the window of the ear room.
Last night, Du Fei started to prepare.
He took off the lock early, and the door was just ajar.
After Du Fei went in, he immediately closed the door with his backhand.
He looked back along the edge of the door and confirmed that there was nothing unusual.
After waiting for a while, he took a breath and locked the door from the inside.
Then he walked to the northwest corner of the house.
According to the previous comparison, the front and back widths of the ear room are different.
It can be basically judged that the entrance to the underground secret room is here.
Du Fei took out a chisel and a short-handled sledgehammer from his personal space while walking.
He took the tools, roughly estimated, and used the chisel to push against the wall.
At the same time, he listened to the movement outside, confirmed that the noise was not small, and smashed it down with a hammer.
Suddenly there was a loud bang!
Du Fei was very strong, and even though the house was being demolished outside, the sound was too loud.
Fortunately, the front and back were working at the same time.
The front thought it was the back that made the noise, while the back thought it was the front.
Du Fei was also startled.
The hammer went down and directly wedged the chisel into the wall, leaving only the part he was holding outside.
Du Fei's mouth twitched.
He twisted it hard twice, pulled out the chisel, and continued to hammer at the side.
But this time he controlled his strength and tried to make the movement here less abrupt.
Even so, the progress is astonishing.
First, his physical fitness is too strong.
Secondly, this is not a real wall.
When the entrance to the underground secret room was sealed, only a layer of cement was applied to the surface in a hurry, and then white dust was painted on it. It looked strong, but was actually very brittle.
With Du Fei's hard knocks, the layer of cement peeled off in large chunks like walnut cakes.
Inside this layer of cement are nailed wooden boards and gravel bricks.
Seeing this, Du Fei became even more certain that this was the entrance.
He directly put the removed things into the portable space, then took out the crowbar and pried off the wooden boards inside one by one.
None of this is difficult for Du Fei.
Soon he cleared the entrance to a secret passage less than one meter wide and nearly one and a half meters high from the wall.
But the trouble is, the entrance is filled with bricks and tiles.
Although there is no cement poured between these bricks and tiles, they are stacked on top of each other and are extremely difficult to clean.
And once the entrance was cleared, the inside was straight up and down, and quite narrow and cramped.
For a man as big as Du Fei, he couldn't even straighten his waist when he got into it.
For ordinary people, faced with this situation, it would take several days to open up this four- to five-meter-long entrance.
Fortunately, Du Fei has some space with him.
The bricks and tiles here do not form part of the entire house.
overall.
Du Fei concentrated on reaching down and opening the portable space.
In the next moment, visible to the naked eye, those bricks and tiles quickly disappeared one after another.
Du Fei was secretly happy, the efficiency of clearing the passage instantly increased several times.
But in this way, his energy is also consumed quickly.
I usually open and close the portable space at will and it doesn't feel like anything.
But like now, one after another, the times are too much.
Du Fei worked on it for more than ten minutes.
Seeing that the excavation speed has greatly accelerated, it has advanced to a depth of more than one meter underground.
But his energy drained faster.
This forced him to stop temporarily, rest for a while, and catch his breath.
At the same time, I am also thinking about whether I can speed up.
In fact, Du Fei's portable space is not incapable of storing multiple things at one time.
For example, when he was building a house, he could collect dozens of gold bricks in one go.
But these bricks and tiles are different now.
Those 'gold bricks' were all similar in size and shape, which made it easier for Du Fei to form a unified concept in his brain.
The bricks and tiles that can block the entrance to the underground secret room are completely irregular and chaotically stacked.
There is simply no way to describe their concepts in my mind at once.
We can only use the stupidest method and lock them one by one.
have a break.
Du Fei felt somewhat recovered and went down into the cave again.
This time, Du Fei only worked for ten minutes and pushed down less than one meter.
He estimated that it was at least three meters away from reaching the underground secret room.
But his energy was a little unbearable.
There is a slight discomfort in the position of the temple, as if the vision has been synchronized for a long time.
When this happened, Du Fei immediately stopped and exited the hole.
Seeing that he was covered in dirt, Du Fei frowned.
Fortunately, he didn't have to clear this place immediately.
Once you reach this step, the next step is not difficult, but it is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
To get through this place, the really difficult thing is to chip away at the first layer of wall.
That movement would have been noticed by people in the courtyard if it wasn't covered by the construction work outside.
Du Fei looked at his watch.
It's already past ten o'clock, and it's almost time to go back to work.
Now his energy is consumed a lot, and it will take at least more than an hour to fully recover.
Instead of staying here, it would be better to come back at night.
Du Fei made up his mind to clean up the scene and take off the clothes and hat he wore while working.
He returned to the window, looked at the situation outside, then quickly came out of the house and walked towards his own home.
At this time, the three people from Wei Duzi were working in the deaf old lady's house, and no one noticed them.
Du Fei returned home, tidied up again, and washed his face.
Then go out, push the car and walk outside.
As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I saw a man with his butt sticking out and sneaking around, looking out from the gate.
Du Fei took a closer look and saw that this was none other than Liu Guangfu!
Since the last incident.
Liu Guangfu was beaten severely by the second uncle, and he limped for several days.
I didn't expect that this would appear as a demon again.
Seeing him sneaking around there, he must be up to no good.
While Du Fei was thinking, he walked over and shouted "Liu Guangfu!"
Liu Guangfu was immediately frightened and trembled.
When I looked back, I saw it was Du Fei.
He took a long breath and said angrily, "Fuck, you scared me to death."
Du Fei smiled and said, "You are blocking the door here. How can you get out without me calling you?"
Liu Guangfu said nothing and got out of the way.
Du Fei ignored him.
He moved the car across the threshold and ran towards the unit.
But when passing by the small alley next to the courtyard, he saw a figure from the corner of his eye.
It was the dark and strong young man who had been guarding the entrance of the courtyard several times before.
Du Fei's heart moved.
Thinking of the sneaky Liu Guangfu just now, I thought to myself, "Is this guy here to block Liu Guangfu?"
Previously, this mature-looking young man had often been around the courtyard for a while, and it was obvious that he came here with bad intentions.
Du Fei didn't know who he was coming for.
But looking at the meaning today, it seems that the case has been solved.
It was Liu Guangfu who caused trouble outside again.
Du Fei was too lazy to mind his own business, so he quickly returned to the street office on his bicycle.
But as soon as he entered the house, he was called to the small office.
Zhu Ting stared at Du Fei with a sullen face and a pair of beautiful pink eyes, and whispered, "Where did you go during working hours? It has only been a few days since you became a full-time employee, and you don't pay attention to the impact!"
Section Chief Qian, who was sitting across from him, was still the same as before, holding the "Arsenal of Immortal Machines" in his hands, but looking furtively this way, as if he was watching a good show.
Du Fei smiled and said, "I told Uncle Qian just before I left."
Zhu Ting was reluctant and glanced at Section Chief Qian, "Old money can spoil you!"
Section Chief Qian coughed quickly, "That means you two are quarreling, but don't get involved with me."
Du Fei said seriously, "Comrade Zhu Ting, I disagree with what you say! Comrade Lao Qian's work attitude and enthusiasm for life are obvious to all the comrades in the unit..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Ting glared and said, "Speak well!"
Du Fei now had some time to relax, "Do you still remember what I told you last time?"
Zhu Ting's mind turned and she immediately understood what Du Fei was referring to.
Du Fei said, "I've found the people and we'll start work today. I just took a look when I went back."
Section Chief Qian listened a little confused.
Zhu Ting frowned and said, "Have you really thought about it? This matter is not that simple. Once it is in the newspaper, you will not be able to control it."
When Section Chief Qian heard about the newspaper, his expression became serious and asked, "Xiao Zhu, Xiao Du, what's going on?"
Du Fei didn't hide anything, and briefly talked about "repairing a house for a deaf old lady, and then asking Zhu Ting to write an article and publish it in the Youth Daily".
Section Chief Qian thought for a moment and said, "This thing... I think it can be done! It just so happens that our street also needs to set up a young model."
Then he looked at Du Fei and said earnestly, "But this matter~ you can't act privately. It's best to say hello to Director Wang in advance."
Du Fei said, "I understand this. I originally planned to wait until the house is finished to be repaired before telling you and Aunt Wang. Otherwise, it will be all empty talk, and it will be hard for me to speak. Just do it if you can do it by then. You must feel uncomfortable OK, forget it.”
Section Chief Qian said in surprise, "What if Director Wang disagrees, will your money to repair the house be wasted?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "It's not a waste, at least it allows the old lady to live in it."
Section Chief Qian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you still have such ideological awareness!"
Section Chief Qian and Zhu Ting both knew about the deaf old lady's condition, and someone from above had also asked the street and neighborhood committee to take good care of her.
Zhu Ting was also a little surprised that Du Fei could say such a thing.
Although she liked Du Fei, she didn't think this brat was a good person.
As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
If he can be like Zhou Peng and Li Mingfei, what kind of good guy can Du Fei be.
