The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui on the other side thought for a moment and replied, "Well, we asked the street office for help. It's just a partition. It's rare that we need to bury pipes underneath so that water can flow to the sewer outside the house."

Liu Minghui then replied that it was not a secret anyway, and He Daqing could find out by just asking a bricklayer, so Liu Minghui would certainly not hide it.

After hearing this, He Daqing said helplessly: "This is really not a small project. I don't think my family can handle it."

He Daqing was right. Digging underground and burying pipes was not an easy job. Not to mention the labor and material costs, the location of the central courtyard was too far away from the sewer outside the courtyard, which was also a problem.

Not to mention that you have to pass by so many houses, I guess no one would be happy about it.

"Yes, Uncle He is right. If I didn't live in the front yard, I wouldn't be willing to spend this money."

Liu Minghui nodded, agreeing with He Daqing's statement.

Liu Minghui waited until he had tidied up the room before sitting down opposite He Daqing.

"Okay, Uncle He, just tell me what you want to say. I noticed that you were absent-minded just now."

Yes, Liu Minghui noticed it just now. When he appeared, He Daqing's expression was a little unnatural. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, He Daqing also followed him. It was obvious at a glance that he had something to ask for.

He Daqing sighed after hearing this, and then explained to Liu Minghui: "I'm not planning to leave tomorrow, I just want to..."

Before He Daqing could finish his words, Liu Minghui interrupted him.

"Hey, wait, you mean you're not leaving Sijiu City and going back to Baocheng, right?"

Liu Minghui was still a little shocked at this time. Who would have thought that He Daqing would abandon the White Widow? According to what Liu Minghui knew, he shouldn't have to wait for seventy years before coming back.

At that time, He Daqing had just been laid off. It was unclear whether he was driven away by the White Widow or had to find He Yuzhu to support him in his old age, but in any case he returned to the Siheyuan.

He Daqing looked helpless after being interrupted. He felt that this was the only impression others had of him in the courtyard. Why did they all look surprised when he mentioned that he would not leave? Yan Bugui was the same in the morning, as were Yi Zhonghai and others. Everyone was very surprised.

"Yes, after all, my grandchildren are born, and I want to be closer to them."

He Daqing spoke with a righteous look on his face, as if it was really for this reason.

No matter what he said, Liu Minghui didn't take it seriously. No matter what He Daqing said, Liu Minghui was skeptical.

"Okay then, Uncle He, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Liu Minghui didn't want to continue the conversation and asked He Daqing directly about his purpose.

He Daqing, who was being stared at closely by Liu Minghui, rubbed his hands when he heard what was said, with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum, and flattered him obsequiously.

"Minghui, I know your ability. Nothing in the steel mill escapes your eyes. You can even interfere in the workshop. You..."

"Stop, stop, stop. You are dreaming. I am not that great. Don't make me sound like that. I am just a small section chief."

Liu Minghui said impatiently that He Daqing was just talking nonsense just now and he didn't know where he heard the rumor from.

Although He Daqing was criticized, he was not angry at all. Instead, he agreed seriously, "Hey, it's my fault. I just said that."

"I just want you to put me in a job at the steel mill."

After talking nonsense for a long time, He Daqing finally told Liu Minghui the purpose of his visit. As Liu Minghui expected, after He Daqing said that he would not leave, he knew clearly why He Daqing came to see him.

It's just a job arrangement. With He Daqing's skills, he can get a job in the steel mill even without Liu Minghui's help. The worst that can happen is that his salary will be lower in the early stages.

Liu Minghui had no intention of refusing, so he just helped. However, before agreeing, Liu Minghui had a question for He Daqing.

"Uncle He, I remember you had a job in Baocheng, why don't you transfer back?"

Hearing this, He Daqing couldn't help but think of what happened more than ten years ago.

At that time, He Daqing was about to escape, and he happened to meet a cadre from the Baocheng Steel Rolling Mill. The other party was captivated by He Daqing's skills and put forward a lot of conditions, just to dig He Daqing over.

That includes a job and a house.

However, when He Daqing left, he did not go to say goodbye to anyone. He left without saying goodbye because it was impossible for He Daqing to transfer his job to Sijiu City.

That person would not agree, and He Daqing was eager to return home, so he simply left the job to Bai Guafu's son and let him take over.

I just don’t know whether the consequences of He Daqing’s departure will be blamed on Bai Guafu’s son.

"Oh, let's not talk about it. This is for the White Widow's son. After all, he has called me dad for more than ten years. I should leave something for him."

He Daqing showed an affectionate and righteous expression at this time, but Liu Minghui would not be fooled.

But he knew that He Daqing was not as honest and simple as He Yuzhu.

In fact, He Daqing is quite cunning, otherwise he would not have fought with Xu's father for so long.

Seeing that He Daqing was not telling the truth, Liu Minghui knew that there were many hidden secrets, but since he didn't say anything, he gave up trying to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay, I'll talk to Director Li, and then you can show off your skills, no problem."

After thinking about it, Liu Minghui said that it would not be difficult at all to arrange He Daqing to work in the kitchen.

After all, Li Huaide is also a gourmet, and since He Daqing's cooking skills are so good, Li Huaide would not object.

"That's a good relationship. I promise I won't embarrass you."

When He Daqing heard Liu Minghui casually mention that he was the director of the steel rolling mill, he immediately perked up and made repeated assurances.

"I'll cook tomorrow and treat you to a meal. Bring your wife along."

It's done, He Daqing said happily to Liu Minghui.

Hearing this, Liu Minghui immediately nodded in agreement. He also wanted to try He Daqing's cooking skills.

Although Liu Minghui had eaten the food cooked by He Yuzhu, He Daqing was still He Yuzhu's father, so he would not dislike He Yuzhu.

Not long after, He Daqing left the Liu family. Yu Li came out of the house only after they left. She was just coaxing the child to sleep, so she didn't come out.

"Hey, He Daqing is gone."

Yu Li walked to the sofa and sat down, then asked in confusion: "Why did he look for you?"

Yu Li was very curious about why He Daqing came to see Liu Minghui, so Liu Minghui briefly explained it to her.

It was simply that He Daqing wanted to work in a steel rolling mill and needed Liu Minghui's introduction.

In fact, He Daqing was just unlucky. The steel rolling mill is not the same as before. At that time, the steel rolling mill belonged to the Lou family. The two current factory directors don’t know him at all. Otherwise, He Daqing could enter the steel rolling mill in minutes without Liu Minghui’s help.
