Start with a Siheyuan

Chapter 193

Seeing what Li Lang said, Mr. Guan didn't say much, he absolutely believed in Li Lang.

He played with the top chair for a long time before reluctantly letting go, drinking and chatting with Li Lang, talking about Zhu Youxiao's anecdotes and the characteristics of the items he made, which benefited Li Lang a lot.

……

If Li Lang's egg business wanted to grow, he had to hire people, but he really didn't dare.

Once the person he invited leaked the news for various reasons and was reported, he couldn't afford to go around.

He had no choice but to keep flowing, five days a week to collect laying hens, and one day to return to the factory to make special fermentation materials.

These days, he leaves early and returns late, and occasionally meets Wang Qiang in the courtyard.The two have become the most familiar strangers in the world, and no one cares about the other.

As for Cheng Qianli, since what happened last time, he didn't dare to come to him again.Just say hello to him when we meet occasionally.

A person like Cheng Qianli, even if he wants to kill you in his heart, he will act kindly on the surface, but in private, he will definitely play tricks like crazy.

The days are so peaceful and fulfilling.

……

Two months later, Section Chief Wang called Li Lang to the office.

"Li Lang, I have some bad news for you."

"I was reported again?"

"Yes, and this time, it is very difficult to suppress it. On your side, stop for a while."

Li Lang nodded: "Okay, it's time to accept it. Section Chief, I will hand over my complete formula to the factory now. Also, I am going to resign. Thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Section Chief Wang asked anxiously: "Why do you want to resign? Do you think the treatment in the factory is not good enough?"

For a talent like Li Lang, Section Chief Wang didn't want him to leave.Moreover, Section Chief Wang has other considerations.

Li Lang said sincerely: "Section Chief, everyone in our factory, from the leaders to the workers, treats me very well, so there's nothing to say."

"I resigned not because of the salary, but mainly because I want to change industries. So you can rest assured that I will not become a competitor of our factory in the future."

Section Chief Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he felt sorry for Li Lang's decision.

He persuaded Li Lang for a while, and seeing that Li Lang had made up his mind to go, he stopped persuading him.

With more than 6000 yuan in his hand, Li Lang quit his decent job and is about to become a colleague of Poor Hou.

After completing the resignation procedures, he came to the production workshop and found Huzi and Cai Xiaoli, who had become official bakers.

"I resigned." He calmly told the news to his two friends.

"What? Li Lang, why, why?" Huzi said excitedly.

"Li Lang, did something happen? Someone reported the egg sale?" Cai Xiaoli asked with concern.

Li Lang smiled and said, "No. I just want to change my way of life."

The two friends could understand every word he said, but when they were put together, they couldn't understand what Li Lang meant.

lifestyle?

In this day and age, isn't everyone looking for a stable job and living a stable life?What kind of lifestyle can I change?
They couldn't understand Li Lang's thinking because of the constraints of the times.

Li Lang didn't want to explain too much. In the future, they would naturally understand how forward-looking and discerning their choices were.

When Li Lang walked out of the workshop door, dozens of workers gathered together to watch him leave.

They thanked Li Lang from the bottom of their hearts.

Because they knew that the profit of the food factory had increased greatly, and everyone's benefits were much better than before, all because of Li Lang.

Li Lang's life chapter has turned a new page.Li Lang bought a tricycle and was about to start collecting junk.

If there were other better ways to receive antiques, he would not choose the path of collecting junk.After all, it doesn't sound good to say it.

But in this era when ordinary people don't understand cultural relics and sell treasures as garbage, collecting junk has become the best way to collect antiques.What a sarcasm.

For the sake of convenience, he did not enter the material recycling station to work, but operated it personally.

No one will take it seriously if you collect rags, and you don't need to be afraid of being reported for speculation or anything, and you can feel at ease.

Of course, the three words "collecting trash" are not pleasant to say, so he didn't tell his family.

Paper cannot cover fire, and when his family finds out, he will throw out a stack of ten-yuan unions to show them that a junk collector earns much more than those so-called decent workers.

After learning about the prices of various scrap products, Li Lang began to wander around the streets.

"Collect rags. There are rags for sale."

……

Even if he collects rags, Li Lang puts his business thinking from decades later into it.

Follow the principle of casting a wide net and catching more fish, and never stay in one place for a long time.

Nor will it wander around like a headless chicken.

He divided the capital into several areas, designed a route, and stayed in each area for at least one day, at most two or three days, and tried his best to collect all the things that could be received in the area.

After only one week of work, he received a pottery pot from the Han Dynasty, two volumes of ancient books from the Ming Dynasty, a huanghuali noodle cabinet from the Ming Dynasty, and an ancient porcelain vase from the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that only the pottery pots of the Han Dynasty have a value index higher than 60, and the system rewards an intermediate skill book on cultural relic restoration.Let his cultural relic restoration skills reach lv3.

Moreover, in the past seven days, he sold the collected waste to the material recycling station, earning 21 cents.On average, there is a profit of more than three yuan a day.

It turns out that as long as you are willing to put down your face and be smart, collecting money from junk is much better than being an ordinary worker.

His current income is about equivalent to a level 10 technical salary.

Most of the current workers, even those who have worked in the factory for decades, cannot reach his salary level.

He has just entered this industry, and when he is proficient in the business, he will definitely earn more!
One day, Li Lang received a diary written by someone in the late Qing Dynasty, and read it with relish.

He saw a very interesting content, to the effect:

The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital.

The Empress Dowager Cixi took a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and cultural relics and went west to escape.

On the way, the person escorting the belongings stole nearly [-]% of the belongings and fled into the mountains.

Among the stolen items, there are hundreds of precious cultural relics.

The queen mother was furious, and sent people to search for them. They saw all the traitors, but they were intercepted and killed by bandits in the mountains.The items they stole were not at the scene, they may have been hidden somewhere in the mountains.

The large number of treasures just disappeared.

On the same day, Li Lang went to ask Master Guan if he had heard of the incident recorded in the book.

The old man said that he had heard from the old people, and many people had thought about those treasures.

But after more than a hundred years, no one found it.

……

Time flies, 1976 has become history, and 1977 has arrived.

Cheng Qianli framed Li Lang that time, but he couldn't make money by stealing chickens. In the end, he was scolded not only by Li Lang's second sister, but also by his favorite Wang Qiang.

From then on, he was kind to Li Lang on the surface, and he was still a good buddy like before.

But in fact, he hated Li Lang to the bone.

He really wanted to trample Li Lang on the ground, but unfortunately he never found a chance.

Today is the weekend, Cheng Qianli rested and went out to play with his colleagues.

When he passed by Dongzhimen, he saw Li Lang on the street riding a tricycle and pulling half a cart of waste products. Out of curiosity, he followed secretly.

When he was sure that Li Lang was collecting the trash, he felt strange and excited.

He wondered, isn't Li Lang working in a bakery?The salary is very high, 48 yuan5.How did it get broken?

What was exciting was that he knew that Wang Qiang was a very proud and good-looking person. If she found out that Li Lang was collecting trash, then there would be no drama between the two of them in the future.

Cheng Qianli couldn't care less about looking for a colleague, so he pedaled his bicycle and ran towards the front door building.

He returned to the backyard of the courtyard as fast as he could, and just after parking his bicycle, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the door of Wang Qiang's house.

"Wang Qiang, are you at home?"

Wang Qiang, who was reading a book in the room, opened the window and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"

She hasn't said a word to Li Lang in the past few months, but that doesn't mean he will give Cheng Qianli a good look.

"Wang Qiang, I want to borrow a book from you. By the way, do you know that Li Lang has changed jobs?"

Hearing Cheng Qianli talk about Li Lang, Wang Qiang immediately asked, "What job has he changed?"

"Just now, I was near the Dongzhimen bus station and saw him collecting trash. Didn't he tell you?"

"No."

"Maybe he thinks it's not decent to collect junk, so I'm embarrassed to tell you."

boom.

Wang Qiang closed the window directly.

A few minutes later, Cheng Qianli, who was hiding at home and observing the gate of Wang Qiang's house, saw Wang Qiang going out and pushed his bicycle away.

Cheng Qianli smiled.

……

"Collect the trash."

"There are tattered ones for sale."

Li Lang yelled twice, then picked up a collected Unofficial History of the Song Dynasty and read it.

When he was watching intently, he felt someone standing in front of him without speaking.

He raised his head and saw, yo, it turned out to be Wang Qiang.

Li Lang smiled without embarrassment at all: "What a coincidence?"

Wang Qiang's face was frosty: "Li Lang, you quit a decent job and came to collect scraps? Look at your current achievements. What about the ideals and ambitions you talked about with me before?"

Li Lang put away his smile and said calmly, "Wang Qiang, are you here to teach me a lesson?"

"Yes, I just can't see you like this."

"Did you have some misunderstanding? Aren't we divided? You don't seem to be qualified to say such things to me."

Wang Qiang became excited: "Li Lang, why don't you understand? I have never looked down on you. I say this for your own good."

"Whether you are my boyfriend or not, whether or not we will be together in the future, I don't want to see the person I liked, the person I admired become what you are now. You decide for yourself."

Li Lang was irritated by Wang Qiang's self-righteousness.

His voice became louder: "Wang Qiang, do you know what your biggest problem is? You are too self-righteous and arrogant."

"Aren't you the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is stupid?"

"Do you know why I resigned from the factory and came out to collect junk?"

"Do you know my thoughts? Do you know my purpose? Do you know my life plan?"

"You don't know anything. You don't understand anything. You didn't ask me anything. Why do you teach me from the perspective of being good for me?"

"I didn't tell you this before because our two families live in the same courtyard. I don't want to embarrass you. But you are good enough to teach me a lesson."

Wang Qiang: "Li Lang, you..."

Li Lang: "What are you? Do you know why I said these things to you again today? Because I've had enough. I don't want to spoil you anymore. Because it hurts you."

"If you don't change your self-righteousness and self-willedness, you will never be happy in the future. That's all I have to say."

Wang Qiang really didn't expect that Li Lang would say such serious words to herself.

She felt that she no longer knew the person she once loved in front of her.

At the same time, she felt a little shaken in her heart: Could it be that I was really wrong?
However, if someone can realize that he is wrong so easily, then he is not self-righteous.

Wang Qiang's introspection was quickly suppressed by other emotions.

"Li Lang, I hate you."

With red eyes, she left angrily.Since Cheng Qianli knew that Li Lang was collecting trash, it meant that everyone in the courtyard knew about it.

Li Lang's elder brother and elder sister have married.

The second sister is still unmarried and lives in the factory dormitory.

The second brother originally lived in a courtyard house. Because of the incident of "being fired" last time, he handed the elder brother a fly swatter many times in order to teach Li Lang a lesson, but the ending was reversed by Li Lang.

Afterwards, he felt that staying at home was meaningless, so he moved into the factory dormitory.

Only he and his mother live in the courtyard house in his hometown.

But this evening, the family of six in my hometown gathered together.

The brothers and sisters came back to hold a criticism meeting for Li Lang.

Li Lang: "Listen to me first, you all agreed before, as long as I don't do things that violate the law and morals, you won't interfere with my work, don't forget."

"Look at what you've done, can we do it regardless?"

"Quickly tell me, what's going on? Why do you collect trash instead of working in a good factory?"

"What's going on in your head? Are you crazy?"

"My dear brother, aren't you fooling around?"

……

The eldest brother snorted and said, "When did our little brother make people feel at ease?"

As long as that person hasn't undergone earth-shaking changes, other people's views on him will not change easily in a short period of time.

For example, Li Lang now.

Although in the last "dismissal" incident, the result was unexpected, but it could not completely change the family's view of him who was "out of tune".

Li Lang also knew this truth, so he didn't blame his family members for their fierce reaction at this time.

For the sake of his mother's feelings, he can't choose to ignore them directly.

Snapped.

Li Lang slapped the table vigorously, attracting the attention of his family members, and everyone fell silent.

Li Lang knew that sometimes money could really buy trust.

As long as a person does not follow crooked ways and can make money, it proves that he is capable and makes people feel reliable, credible, and even admired.

So he chose to use money to tell his family: I am not an incomprehensible person, it's just that you don't understand me.

Li Lang slowly removed his hands from the table.

His family saw a stack of brand-new Da Tuan [-]-yuan bills on the table, which was as much as [-] to [-] yuan by visual estimation.

Everyone looked at the money on the table, and then at Li Lang. They couldn't figure it out, where did my younger brother (son) get such a large sum of money?

"Where did this money come from?" The eldest brother, who was like a father, asked seriously.

Last time he was angry and said that he would no longer care about Li Lang's affairs, but at this time, he felt that the situation was not simple, so he had to ignore it.

"I earned it." Li Lang said calmly, "I know what you want to ask, that's right, I earned this money by collecting trash for three months."
