The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

In the evening, Liu Minghui did not return to the steel rolling mill, but went directly back to the courtyard. In the afternoon, Liu Minghui accompanied Chen Xueru in Xueru Silk Shop for the whole afternoon. It was a little late when he came back.

"Minghui, it's time to get off work. It's a bit late today."

Yan Bugui, who was guarding the door, saw Liu Minghui coming back and walked over to say something.

"Uncle San, I definitely don't get off work as early as you do."

After chatting with Yan Bugui for a while, Liu Minghui went back home.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

Liu Minghui parked the car at the door and shouted into the house.

However, there was no response from Yu Li.

When Liu Minghui walked into the inner room, he found that Yu Li was sleeping and little Bowen was lying next to her.

When Liu Minghui approached, he found that little Bowen was staring at the roof with his big eyes blinking.

Liu Bowen, this is the name given by Liu's father.

"Hey, son, daddy gives me a hug."

Liu Minghui said this and picked him up.

"You're back, and I haven't cooked yet."

At this time, Yu Li realized something and woke up.

"Pangpang didn't sleep in the afternoon. I coaxed him for a long time."

Seeing the child in Liu Minghui's arms, Yu Li said with a doting smile on her face.

"Look, he's smiling at me so happily."

Liu Minghui hugged Pangpang and teased him.

"You take it with you. I'll go make dinner first."

After saying this, Yu Li went out to cook.

.......

"Brother Minghui, are you there?"

Suddenly someone at the door called Liu Minghui, and seeing this, Liu Minghui came out holding Pangpang.

At first glance, it was He Yuzhu standing at the door, but the man looked very different from Noon.

He Yuzhu has now changed into clean clothes and cut his hair short. Although he still looks a little old, he is much more energetic than before.

"Oh, you're finally willing to tidy yourself up?"

When Liu Minghui saw He Yuzhu's expression, he smiled and said.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm just doing it casually."

"I came here to tell you that I have already taken leave, remember to take it every day."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Minghui excitedly.

"No problem, I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

Liu Minghui nodded. It would be a good opportunity to let them meet each other earlier. If they are suitable, he will bring the person back tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning."

After saying this, He Yuzhu went back to the Central Courtyard.

"Why did he come here just now?"

Yu Li poked her head out from the kitchen and asked.

"Didn't I tell him I would introduce him to someone? Look how happy he is."

Liu Minghui walked in holding the child.

"Oh, no wonder."

After knowing this, Yu Li stopped looking outside and focused on preparing dinner.

Not long after, Yu Li prepared dinner. She didn't prepare anything, just two-grain steamed buns and a plate of vegetables. Liu Minghui didn't bring any vegetables back today.

But the two of them were not picky eaters, especially Yu Li, who ate with gusto. Yu Li knew that there were not many families in the courtyard who could afford to eat two-grain flour steamed buns for every meal.

Most people only eat two meals a day, and they are always steamed cornbread or cornmeal porridge.

"I'll buy two cans of milk powder for the baby tomorrow."

Liu Minghui said as he looked at Yu Li who was eating.

"It's hard to buy milk powder. Can you get it?"

Yu Li did not disagree, but instead asked Liu Minghui if he could buy it.

"Don't worry about that. Just leave it to me."

Liu Minghui didn't explain anything. He had already stockpiled a lot of supplies and just needed to take them out tomorrow.

"That's fine."

After dinner, Liu Minghui didn't let Yu Li wash the dishes, but washed them himself because Yu Li still had to feed the children.

After dinner, when Liu Minghui was enjoying the cool air at the door, Liu Haizhong came over.

"Minghui, you are living a happy life."

"Hey, the second uncle is here, hurry up and sit down."

Seeing Liu Haizhong coming over, Liu Minghui stood up and brought him a chair.

After Liu Haizhong sat down, he started talking about business. It turned out that Liu Guangqi was getting married at the weekend. His wife's family was of good origin, so Liu Haizhong wanted to set up a few tables.

"Minghui, you also know that it's hard to get supplies right now. I haven't bought much in the past few days."

Liu Minghui said with a big belly.

"Second Master knows you are capable, can you help me?"

After listening to what Liu Haizhong said, Liu Minghui started thinking.

Originally Liu Minghui didn't want to agree, but he had a good relationship with Liu Haizhong in the courtyard, and Liu Minghui also had to win over the second uncle, at least so that he could use the guns exported by Yi Zhonghai in the future.

"Second uncle, if it's supplies, then there is definitely nothing."

Liu Minghui changed the subject.

"But since you are my respected uncle, I will definitely get some back."

After hearing what happened before, Liu Haizhong was a little discouraged, but he didn't expect that Liu Minghui was willing to help in the end, which made him very happy.

He said repeatedly: "Thank you, Second Master. No wonder you can be an official."

"But the price has to be based on the black market price, is that okay?"

Liu Minghui made it clear that even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone the fact that they are just neighbors.

"No problem, don't worry, I still have some money, but I can't buy anything."

Liu Haizhong agreed to the price Liu Minghui offered with a wave of his hand. You know, there is not much meat to sell even on the black market now. He had been running around the black market for several days but couldn't find any.

"That's good. Uncle, please write me a list and I'll take a look at it."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, Liu Haizhong took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was written by Liu Guangqi.

"Minghui, take a look at this."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong came prepared, Liu Minghui was not surprised. He reached out to take it and started to look at it.

Thirty kilograms of pork.

Six fish.

Six old hens.

Ten pounds of eggs.

Fifty kilograms of flour.

After seeing this, Liu Minghui looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Second uncle, you are quite generous."

"Is it so difficult?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Minghui anxiously and said.

"All of these are fine. They'll cost about 90 yuan. What do you think of the price, Uncle?"

Liu Minghui first mentioned the issue of price, fearing that Liu Haizhong would be reluctant to spend the money.

"No problem, Uncle. I'll give you the money first. You must remember this."

Liu Haizhong quickly stuffed the money into Liu Minghui's hand, fearing that Liu Minghui would not agree. He had visited several black markets and knew roughly that there was nothing wrong with the price.

Liu Minghui smiled and took the money.

"Okay, Uncle Er, I'll bring the stuff back to you on Friday."

After some thought, I decided to set the delivery time on Friday. It would not be good to deliver the pork too early, as I was afraid that the pork would go bad.

"no problem."

Liu Haizhong has no opinion on this.

After the two finished chatting, Liu Haizhong walked towards the backyard with square steps. Having solved a big problem, Liu Haizhong thought that he could go back and have a good sleep tonight, without having to get up in the middle of the night to run to the black market with Liu Guangqi.
