The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Oh, do you think I'd go to the steel mill?"

Jia Zhang finally reacted and stared at Yi Zhonghai, as if she was saying something, but then she changed her mind and started to explain.

"It's not that Huairu is pregnant, and Dongxu left behind a posthumous child, so I feel a lot better."

Jia Zhang still had a smile on her face when she finished speaking. The Jia family had been a single-line family for several generations, and Jia Zhang originally felt that she was quite sorry for the Jia family. But now, maybe she could have another grandson. How could Jia Zhang not be happy?

This morning, Jia Zhang brought Qin Huairu to a hospital far away from the steel rolling mill, intending to have an IUD inserted for her. As for why she chose a faraway hospital instead of a nearby one, it was because Jia Zhang also had to save face. She couldn't let people know that she, as a mother-in-law, forced her daughter-in-law to get an IUD inserted, so she came to this hospital.

"Comrade, you have been pregnant for more than a month, you cannot get an IUD."

But the doctor told them a piece of unexpected news. They were both stunned at first, as they didn't expect that she was already pregnant.

"Thank God, it looks like we can have another boy in our family."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately clasped her hands together and began to mutter something, while also praying silently in her heart.

"Dongxu, please bless your son to be smooth and smooth. Mom will take good care of them."

As a result, the ring was not inserted, the two came back, and the matter ended up being left unresolved.

"So this is ah."

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He really felt that Jia Zhang was mentally ill. It was good this way. Dongxu was his apprentice. Although he was gone, it was good to leave behind more incense and inheritance.

"What about the work at the steel mill?"

Next, Yi Zhonghai asked about who would take over, to which Jia Zhang answered without thinking.

"Huai Ru, let Huai Ru go in a few days. But Lao Yi, you have to take care of Huai Ru for Dong Xu's sake."

Jia Zhang played the emotional card with Yi Zhonghai again, wanting Yi Zhonghai to accept Qin Huairu as his apprentice for Jia Dongxu's sake.

"Well...Okay, I'll take Huairu in as my apprentice after she joins the factory."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided not to refuse. It didn't matter who he taught, he just hoped that he would not end up like Jia Dongxu.

That night, the news of Qin Huairu's pregnancy spread throughout the compound, and everyone started talking about it. Everyone's first reaction to the news was whether the Jia family planned to give birth to the baby.

You have to know that now that Jia Dongxu is gone, the Jia family will definitely have a hard time in the future. Although Qin Huairu can take over, she can only be an apprentice after entering the factory. Even if Jia Dongxu's length of service is taken into account, she can only earn 27.5 yuan a month.

I just don’t know what the Jia family is thinking. Everyone is watching and wants to see what the Jia family will do.

I don’t know if she felt everyone’s gaze, but Jia Zhang immediately came out and said that the child must be born. This is the second grandson of the Jia family, the offspring left by Jia Dongxu.

"What is going on? Is this destined?"

Liu Minghui was at home, and he also heard the noisy noise outside. When he thought of Qin Huairu being pregnant, Liu Minghui was speechless.

He remembered that the original drama seemed to say that Jia Dongxu died in 62, and Huaihua was born after Jia Dongxu's death.

But it was only the early 60s now, how come Qin Huairu was pregnant now?

"Sure enough, the courtyard has changed beyond all recognition with me in it."

Liu Minghui murmured to himself, thinking that He Yuzhu, the biggest blood bag in the courtyard, had married early, Xu Damao no longer fought with He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai had no control over the discourse power of the courtyard, the three uncles basically managed their own courtyards, and the deaf old lady was only seen a few times a year.

Liu Minghui then realized that because of his arrival, the courtyard house had deviated from the one he remembered, and it would probably deviate further and further from the original place, and Liu Minghui would lose his judgment on what should have happened.

However, when he saw Yu Li lying beside him, Liu Minghui felt that this was not a bad thing. Everything in the world should be like this, not determined by personal will. It is good to have changes.

That night, Liu Minghui did not sleep all night and ran a long way. He came to the place where he came last time. This time he did not go in. He just put his things down and ran away. After doing all this, Liu Minghui felt a sense of clarity in his heart, as if he had unloaded a burden and became more integrated into this era.

The next day was Saturday. After working one more day today, he would have another day off. Liu Minghui went out to work early in the morning. He hadn't purchased supplies for the steel rolling mill for a long time. Liu Minghui planned to deliver a batch of supplies to the courtyard today.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Liu Minghui first arranged for Wang Wen to transport the supplies. Apart from Liu Minghui, Wang Wen was the only one in the department who could drive, so this matter had to be handed over to him.

Then he heard Li Yue say that Li Huaide was looking for him, so Liu Minghui went to Li Huaide's office.

"Here we go, sit down first."

When he entered the room, Li Huaide was still looking at a document.

Liu Minghui waited for a while before Li Huaide came over.

"Here you go. From now on, the purchasing department will be in your charge."

It turned out that what Li Huaide was holding was a notice of his promotion to section chief. It stated that because Liu Minghui had performed an outstanding job during his tenure, he was now promoted one level and would be fully responsible for all work in the procurement department in the future.

"Oh, isn't there Director Li? I think I just need to focus on my current job."

After Liu Minghui took it, he said to Li Huaide, meaning that there was another director in the purchasing department, and he could not take full responsibility no matter what.

"Haha, you kid."

After hearing this, Li Huaide laughed out loud, and then got down to business.

"Li Weiguo won't stay there forever. He will probably be sent abroad soon."

Li Huaide revealed some inside information to Liu Minghui. Not many people in the steel rolling mill knew about this, only their three deputy factory directors knew about it.

When Liu Minghui heard this, he immediately thought of something, but was stopped by Li Huaide before he could open his mouth.

"Just keep it to yourself, don't shout it around."

It seems that what Liu Minghui thought was true. When Liu Minghui was chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang before, he heard that Li Weiguo had someone behind him and would not stay in the steel mill for long. Once he achieved some results, he would go back to other places in minutes.

Then the two chatted about work. Li Huaide needed Liu Minghui's help to purchase more supplies. After the New Year, the workers' food was getting worse and worse, and the canteen was looking for him every day.

In response to this, Liu Minghui said that it had been arranged today and someone had driven to pick it up this morning.

After hearing this, Li Huaide was very satisfied. He chatted with Liu Minghui for a few more words and then let him leave.

After leaving Li Huaide's office, Liu Minghui returned to the purchasing department thoughtfully.
