The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Ding-ling-ling" the sound of a bicycle bell came from the alley, and then a young man came riding a bicycle. With a squeak, the bike stopped in front of the courtyard gate. Before the man got off the bike, a middle-aged man with glasses came out from the gate.

"Xiao Liu, you're back. How come your job is so easy? You deserve to be one of the eight members." The person who spoke was Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the front yard of the quadrangle. The street committee had set up the position of a manager in each quadrangle to facilitate management and prevent criminals. There were three manager uncles in this quadrangle, namely Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the front yard, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the back yard, and Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle in the middle yard.

"Hey, it's not as easy as you say, Third Uncle. I have to work hard in the countryside every day to complete the monthly tasks. I only got paid today, otherwise I would have to go to the countryside again." The man who spoke was Liu Minghui, a buyer at the steel rolling mill. He was originally an unknown little person in later generations. Who knew that there would be unexpected events. He went out on a rainy day and got into a car accident and died immediately. When he woke up, he found himself in this era.

"Third uncle doesn't know you yet. You have so many relatives in your hometown. If you can't do anything, just go back and look for them." Yan Bugui looked very smart with his glasses. "Third uncle is in a very difficult situation in the countryside now. How can he have so many things to exchange for me?" Liu Minghui was from Liujia Village near Beijing. After crossing over half a year ago, he found a way to get into the Red Star Steel Mill as a buyer. Of course, it was also because it was difficult to get food now, let alone meat. Not long after crossing over, Liu Minghui used a pig to get in touch with Li Huaide, the current logistics director of the steel mill. Because Li Huaide only became the logistics director last year, the food problem of the workers was also a headache for him. It happened that Liu Minghui appeared at this time, and finally Liu Minghui used two pigs to exchange for a formal job as a buyer.

"That's right. Life in the countryside is not easy now, otherwise people wouldn't yearn to move to the city." Yan Bugui also sighed. Suddenly Yan Bugui came over and whispered, "Xiao Liu, you have been working for half a year. Are you going to be promoted soon?" Liu Minghui was amused by his whispering. "Uncle, how did you know that I was promoted today? You must be well-informed."

"Hey, are you teasing your uncle? Everyone knows that you buyers can be converted to regular employees if you don't make any mistakes for half a year. Xiao Liu, what level were you assigned after being converted to regular employee?" This was what Yan Bugui really wanted to know.

"Our section chief saw that I was diligent in my work and completed my tasks well, so he assigned me a 9th-level clerk." Liu Minghui didn't want to continue arguing with Yan Bugui and wanted to go home quickly. Liu Minghui carried his bicycle and walked into the yard. "Hey, Xiao Liu, wait a minute, you see, this is a happy event for you to be promoted to a regular employee. How about setting up two tables in the yard so that everyone can have fun with you?"

Liu Minghui was speechless when he heard this. "Uncle, how can I have extra money? There is a whole family in my hometown waiting for my help. How about you lend me a hundred or eighty first, and I will set up two tables in the yard?" Yan Bugui's face darkened when he heard this. He waved his hands and said, "Your uncle doesn't have that much money to lend you. Your aunt called me, I have to go quickly." After that, Yan Bugui ran back home. Liu Minghui knew it would be like this. He had seen this scene several times in the six months since he moved into this courtyard. Yan Bugui thought he was easy to bully because he came from the countryside. He wanted to plot against him several times. Every time this happened, Liu Minghui would ask him to borrow money. After all, Liu Minghui was a time traveler. After watching Love in the Courtyard, he knew what Yan Bugui was like and naturally knew how to deal with him.

Liu Minghui looked at Yan Bugui running away and had the urge to laugh but he held it back. He pushed his bicycle towards his house. Liu Minghui's house was in the east wing of the front yard, just opposite Yan Bugui's house. He parked his bicycle in front of the house without locking it. Anyway, the public security was very good now and he was not afraid of others stealing it, because his bicycle was provided by the steel rolling mill, and who would dare to steal a public bicycle?

Entering the house, all you see is a table and a few chairs, plus a stove for cooking. After Liu Minghui came, he divided the 40-square-meter house into two rooms. The outer room is used for cooking and for people to drink tea and chat. The inner room is separated and made into a bedroom. It is only a dozen square meters and there is only a bed and a wardrobe. But Liu Minghui is also very satisfied. After all, there are many families of five or six people living in one house now. Just look at the Yan family across the street. There are two houses for a family of six. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng has not married yet, otherwise he would have no place to live.

At this time, at the Yan family's house, the third aunt looked at Yan Bugui who ran in in a panic and said, "Boss, why are you running so fast? Is there a dog chasing you?" Yan Bugui went into the house, closed the door, drank a sip of water, and then said, "It's more terrible than being chased by a dog. Didn't Liu from the opposite side become a regular employee today? I just wanted him to pay for two tables as a token of my appreciation, but who knew he would ask me to borrow money. How could this work? I ran back in a hurry." The third aunt also came over and said, "You don't learn your lesson. That boy is not easy to plot against. He has been in our courtyard for almost half a year. Have you ever taken advantage of him?"

The third aunt thought for a while and said, "Boss, you see Xiao Liu is almost twenty years old. Why don't you see if there are any single female teachers in your school to introduce him to someone? This way we can build a good relationship with him, and it will be easier to ask for help in the future if we need anything." Yan Bugui, who was sitting at the table, listened and began to think.

"Well, you're right. Xiao Liu is a real person. We can introduce him to someone who is not bad. I'll go to the school and look for someone for him some other day."

Liu Minghui, who had just returned home at this time, didn't know that Yan Bugui was planning to introduce him to a girl. After returning home, he first lit the stove, which burned honeycomb coal. While lighting the fire, Liu Minghui was thinking that he should go back to his hometown in the countryside tomorrow if he didn't have to go to work. Winter was almost coming, so he asked his father and eldest brother to come and help him build a kang, otherwise his body would not be able to withstand the cold winter.

Liu Minghui's parents are both at home, and he has two older brothers. The eldest and second oldest brothers earn work points at home. When he said he found a job in the city, the whole family was so happy. After all, their younger brother might be able to take care of their children after he goes to work in the city.
