The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Jia Dongxu felt very annoyed as he watched Banggeng rolling on the ground. Ever since the rumors a few days ago, Jia Dongxu felt that people were always pointing fingers at him when he was outside.

Jia Dongxu pulled the stick over and slapped him on the butt several times.

"No matter what you eat, it's all because of your grandma's indulgence."

Banggeng burst into tears, and his crying attracted Jia Zhang, who was sewing shoe soles at the door, to come in.

"Hey Dongxu, why are you playing stick jokes?"

Jia Zhang came in and quickly took Bang Geng over.

"He's almost hungry now, but he still cries out for meat every day. If he's not given meat, he'll roll on the ground. There's no other kid like him out there."

"Then you can't hit him. My precious grandson is still young. It's wrong for him to want to eat meat."

"Just protect him."

Jia Dongxu couldn't win the argument with Jia Zhangshi, so he could only leave after saying something.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was in the yard. When he saw Jia Dongxu coming out, he waved to him to come over.

"Dongxu, what's going on at home?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai cared about him, Jia Dongxu could only tell him what happened again.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to take out a meat ticket from his pocket and give it to Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, the child needs to be properly disciplined. Your mother dotes on Banggeng too much."

He also knew what Yi Zhonghai said, but as soon as Jia Dongxu started to teach him a lesson, his mother would come out to stop him.

"Master, you know my mother well. Bang Geng is her dearest child. She cannot bear to see him suffer any injustice."

Yi Zhonghai also knew that it was useless to say these things. He originally asked Jia Dongxu to be his elderly caregiver because Jia Dongxu was obedient enough.

"Okay, go back and persuade your mother to calm down. Her shouting can be heard by everyone in the front and back yards."

Yi Zhonghai went back after saying this.

Yi Zhonghai returned home and saw an old lady just coming back from the backyard.

"Have you delivered dinner to the old lady?"

"Zhu Zi made dinner for the old lady today, and sent it over so that she can eat it tomorrow morning."

"Oh, why is Zhuzi so diligent today?" Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise.

"It's all caused by Liu Minghui in the front yard."

"What do you mean?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Liu Minghui went on a blind date today. I heard that they fell in love and are waiting to get married after the New Year. Zhuzi is anxious now. He wants the old lady to find him a matchmaker. The old lady asked me to help find one tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Zhu Zi is old enough to get married. Go find one for him on the street tomorrow."

Now that Jia Dongxu is still alive, Yi Zhonghai has not yet thought about completely controlling Sha Zhu, so Sha Zhu is just a backup now.

Liu Minghui went to the space right after dinner. After tidying up the space, he came out to sleep. He couldn't hide in the space every day. It would be bad if someone came and couldn't find him.

Silent all night.

The next day, Liu Minghui got up and first set up the car, then took out two baskets to pack eggs. He planned to go to work and hand in the task today.

Liu Minghui first found some straw to pad the floor, and then stacked them up layer by layer.

Seeing Liu Minghui busy, the third uncle came over to lend a hand.

Liu Minghui waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I want to take this to the steel mill, but I can't afford the labor fee."

The third uncle was a little reluctant to do it when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he said, "The third uncle is not that kind of person. How can I ask for your things when I am helping my neighbors?"

Liu Minghui laughed twice after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, Third Uncle, you are a person who loves to help others."

Hearing this, many people in the front yard laughed secretly.

In everyone's eyes, the Third Uncle is a person who will not do anything without some benefit. He will not help unless there is some benefit.

"Hey, you are teasing your uncle."

The third uncle said angrily.

After a short while, the two of them put the things away. Liu Minghui did not give anything to the third uncle, but in the third uncle's opinion, maintaining a good relationship is more important. Once the relationship is good, it will be easier to ask for help.

Liu Minghui rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill to work. It was already quite late today and everyone else in the factory had already gone to work, but they could still meet each other from time to time on the road.

"Good morning, uncle." Liu Minghui greeted Yi Zhong when he met him.

"Good morning, Xiao Liu." Yi Zhonghai also responded warmly.

Liu Minghui overtook them on his bicycle.

Jia Dongxu's eyes almost turned red when he saw the two baskets of eggs on the back seat of Liu Minghui's car. He felt very unbalanced. Why could a country boy live better than him?

"Master, do you think we can ask Liu Minghui to help buy some food from the countryside?" Jia Dongxu said to Yi Zhonghai as he looked at Liu Minghui's receding back.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it carefully after hearing what Jia Dongxu said. He also wanted Liu Minghui to help buy food. The Jia family spent a lot of money on food coupons every month. If they could buy it in the countryside, it would be much cheaper. At least they didn't need food coupons.

However, Yi Zhonghai did not make any guarantees.

"Let me think about how to talk to Liu Minghui about Dongxu. I'll talk to him about this after get off work."

Jia Dongxu was also very happy to hear that Yi Zhonghai wanted to help, and asked Yi Zhonghai to try his best to persuade him.

Liu Minghui didn't know that someone was plotting against him, and soon he arrived at the steel mill. After arriving at the factory, he went to the warehouse to hand in the eggs. There were a total of 400 eggs, and the purchase price was 5 cents each, a total of only 20 yuan.

After getting the receipt, I went to the purchasing department. As soon as I entered, I saw Tong Xiao busy compiling statistics.

It turns out that everyone brought a lot of things this morning.

"Here, Sister Tong, this is what I purchased."

Tong Xiao took the receipt and looked at it. "Wow, four hundred eggs, not bad, you are really good."

Liu Minghui waved his hand and said modestly: "It's the same for everyone. I have been saving for quite some time."

You can't just agree to this, otherwise you'll offend so many people.

Liu Minghui took the teacup and poured a cup of hot water. The weather was not warm anymore and it would probably snow in a month or so.

He took the teacup and returned to his seat, then took out a book and started reading. Liu Minghui did not plan to go out today and planned to stay in the department for the day.

It seemed like something was going to happen today. No one in the purchasing department went out and stayed quietly in the office.

Near noon, the loud speaker sounded.

"Zizi, important notice. From today on, the steel rolling mill will expand its scale, add several production workshops, and have several branch factories including the machinery factory and steel mill."

"Zizi, important notice. Comrade Yang Zhenguo has been appointed by the higher authorities as the secretary and director of the steel rolling mill from today onwards, and will be mainly responsible for production work."

"Zizi, important notice, Comrade Li Huaide has been appointed by the higher authorities as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill from today onwards, and will be mainly responsible for logistics and publicity work."
