Chapter 226 He Daqing Visits
After chatting for a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
knock knock knock...
Zhou Zheng, Yu Wanrong, Tian Xinyue, and He Yushui stopped chatting and looked towards the courtyard gate.
"I'll go take a look." Zhou Zheng stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and then went to open the door.
Standing outside the door were He Daqing, Li Guixiang, He Yuzhu, and Yang Xiaoman, all holding gifts in their hands.
The gifts are not very expensive and can all be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
He Daqing spoke first, "Zhou, we heard that your mother is back, so we came to visit her..."
Zhou Zheng didn't think much about it and made way for him. "Well, please come in."
Yu Wanrong was at the flower bed in the center of the yard, and He Daqing and his friends could see her as soon as they entered the yard.
She glanced at the gifts in the hands of He Daqing and others, and stood up quickly, "Hey, Brother He, you... just come here, why do you bring these things? I don't need anything, take them back quickly."
It's just a polite remark, everyone says that.
He Daqing didn't care and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi and I just came back, and I heard from Guixiang that you were back in the compound, so I thought of coming to see you."
Zhou Zheng followed behind He Daqing and the others.
Seeing this, Yu Wanrong called out to Zhou Zhengdao, "Hanqing, quickly ask your uncle He and the others to come in."
Zhou Zheng forced a smile and then greeted He Daqing and his family.
"Come on, Uncle He, Brother Zhuzi, let's go inside, let's go inside, let's go inside..."
He Yuzhu stood aside and laughed, "No need to rush, no need to rush."
A group of people entered the house.
Tian Xinyue went to make a pot of tea, He Yushui brought some fruit, and then they sat on the sofa and started chatting.
Simply put, it's just catching up on the past, there's nothing nutritious about the topic.
He Yuzhu was a restless person. He paced in the living room, looking here and there, and then he saw the firecrackers that Zhou Zheng had made in the morning.
He picked up a firecracker and looked at it.
At this time, Zhou Zheng also noticed He Yuzhu, walked up to him and explained: "This is a firecracker I made when I was bored."
He Yuzhu was surprised and asked, "You can do this?"
Zhou Zheng chuckled, and then he remembered the way He Yushui had turned into a "chimpanzee" that morning, so he suggested, "Brother Zhuzi, why don't you go and release one?"
He Yuzhu was also quite playful, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the firecrackers. When Zhou Zheng asked him to set off one, he felt so happy that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"Okay, I'll put one in there, where do you put it?"
Zhou Zheng was thinking, now that Yu Wanrong and He Daqing were chatting in the living room, it would definitely not be appropriate to set off firecrackers in the yard.
Then let’s blow up the manure pit, Zhou Zheng couldn’t help but think.
In fact, he did so and proposed it to He Yuzhu.
"Zhu Zi, um, how about we go to the public toilet?"
Even an old man like He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile knowingly at the thought of using firecrackers to make baba.
"Let's go, let's go!" He was even a little impatient.
Zhou Zheng packed up all the firecrackers he made in the morning and took them away.
Tian Xinyue happened to see this scene, she frowned and said: "Didn't it fail? Why did you take it out again?"
Zhou Zheng said with a smile: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Zhuzi and I will definitely be careful. It won't break, don't worry, it definitely won't break."
Tian Xinyue shook her head and ignored him, "Just do it..."
She didn't have time to argue with Zhou Zheng. He Daqing and Yu Wanrong were chatting about family matters, and as a daughter-in-law, she needed to serve her mother-in-law by serving tea and water.
He Yushui and Yang Xiaoman were not as busy as Tian Xinyue and were chatting obediently.
Zhou Zheng packed up the firecrackers and took He Yuzhu out.
The neighbors who gathered in the front yard of Yan Fugui's house to watch TV did not disperse. Instead, there was a trend of more and more people coming. This time, Yan Fugui made a lot of money.
After leaving No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, He Yuzhu said sourly: "Zhengzi, your research institute is really something. Why do you have to give out a TV as a New Year's Day benefit? Look how proud Yan Laoxi is. I despise his smug face the most."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Zhuzi, don't look at the crowds today. They are just watching for the novelty. When the novelty wears off, who would be willing to spend money to watch TV? There are only two channels, and they are only broadcasting news..."
He Yuzhu looked a little better. "Now that you put it that way, it makes sense. Going to the cinema only costs a few cents, which is much better than watching TV."
Speaking of the cinema, He Yuzhu asked, "Zhengzi, have you ever been to a cinema?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned. He had never been to a movie theater in that era. He already had a projector at home, so there was no need for this at all.
When He Yuzhu saw the hesitation on Zhou Zheng's face, he realized that Zhou Zheng must have never been to a cinema, so he became proud and introduced it to Zhou Zheng enthusiastically.
"I can tell you've never been there. I suggest you go and see it when you have time. Watching a movie in a movie theater is completely different from watching a movie in a factory. Let's not talk about anything else, just the sound. It's incomparable. In a movie theater, there are speakers on all four sides, and the sound of the movie can be clearly transmitted to every corner. It gives people a feeling of being in a wonderland in the forest."
Zhou Zheng corrected: "It's about being there in person!"
"Yes, yes, that's the word. The two uncles sitting next to me said that when I went to the cinema that day." He Yuzhu said with a little excitement.
Soon, the two arrived next to the public toilet.
"How should I set it off? I don't know if it's powerful enough or if it can blow the poop up to the sky." He Yuzhu took out a firecracker and wondered how to make it more powerful if he threw it into the toilet.
Zhou Zheng handed He Yuzhu a cigarette and reminded him, "Zhuzi, the fuse of my firecracker burns very quickly. Light it and throw it away quickly. Don't let it explode."
He Yuzhu took the cigarette Zhou Zheng handed over and took two puffs to calm down the "burning". He blew out a puff of smoke and said nonchalantly: "Fast, how fast can it be?"
As he spoke, he lit a firecracker.
There was a "hiss" sound, followed by a loud bang.
He Yuzhu's face darkened, and he said in fear: "Fuck, this is too fast, luckily I threw it early, otherwise it almost collapsed."
Zhou Zheng was relieved when he saw that He Yuzhu didn't collapse, and joked, "It was very fast."
He Yuzhu grinned: "Well, you are more than fast, just now, I saw that I was too milky, forget it, forget it, I dare not let it go again, or else something bad will happen."
Zhou Zheng nodded, feeling that what He Yuzhu said made some sense.
But he couldn't let the firecrackers he made go to waste, so he suggested, "Zhu Zi, how about... we modify it. I remember there was an iron pipe in your room. Let's do this... then that... and finally..."
He Yuzhu nodded stupidly, "Zhengzi, nothing can happen."
Zhou Zheng grinned and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Believe me, it will be awesome."
Without further ado, the two of them went to He Yuzhu's house and rummaged through the drawers to find the iron pipe. Zhou Zheng blocked one end of the iron pipe with newspaper, took apart a firecracker, and poured the black powder inside into the iron pipe.
He Yuzhu said worriedly, "Oh, if this thing explodes, it will definitely get us hurt."
While loading the gunpowder, Zhou Zheng nonchalantly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's safe. Don't you see how thick this iron pipe is? It will definitely not explode. If it doesn't explode, the force can only go out from the front, just like the principle of a gun. Just watch, I'll let you see what burst fire is..."
