The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui didn't expect that there would be a play to watch so early in the morning. He suddenly felt that the Jia family was indispensable in the courtyard, otherwise life would be so boring.

"Uncle, I'll go back first."

After speaking to Yan Bugui who was still in the Intermediate Court, Liu Minghui picked up the cup and went home. He hadn't brushed his teeth yet. After Liu Minghui finished washing up, he found that it was almost time to go to work.

Now the people who work at the steel mill in Siheyuan are getting ready to go out in groups of three or four.

Seeing this situation, Liu Minghui didn't plan to eat breakfast at home. He followed the group and came to the braised pork shop at the entrance of the alley. Amid the envious looks of several people, Liu Minghui went in, ordered a bowl of braised pork and started eating.

Most of the people in the Siheyuan eat at home, unlike Liu Minghui and Xu Damao who eat out every now and then. The salary of an average worker is enough to support several families, and if they don't save money, it may not be enough to spend by the end of the month.

The representative figures here are the Jia family. You must know that although nowadays only about five dollars a month is enough for a month's expenses, this requires a certain amount.

Because the Jia family only needed the ration of one person for five people, they often sought help in the courtyard. Of course, most of the time it was Yi Zhonghai who gave them the help.

To be honest, if it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's money and food, the Jia family would not have lived such a comfortable life.

After finishing breakfast, Liu Minghui went to the steel mill. Although he was late today, he had nothing to do. When he arrived at the steel mill, he found that everyone was cleaning outside.

The steel rolling mill was not in operation today. The workers in the workshop were mainly cleaning the workshop and checking and repairing the machine tools.

When I came to the purchasing department, I found that everyone was cleaning inside. However, since most of the place had been cleaned yesterday, I came here today just to finish up.

After spending another morning at the steel mill, Zhang Zhiqiang came to the office at noon and saw that everyone was there. He said directly, "Since everything has been packed up, you can go home."

Zhang Zhiqiang's words made everyone very happy, because there was nothing to do here and they might as well go home and have a good sleep.

"Then we'll leave first."

Tong Xiao and Zhang Zhiqiang said.

Then everyone went home.

Of course Liu Minghui also planned to go back.

"Minghui, go to Deputy Director Li first. The director wants to see you."

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Zhang Zhiqiang stopped him and said.

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Liu Minghui didn’t know why Li Huaide wanted to see him, but he didn’t think too much about it. He would find out when he got there anyway.

Liu Minghui came to Li Huaide's office and saw Wang Zhi waiting outside. Liu Minghui walked over and said, "Secretary Wang, is my uncle Li in there?"

Wang Zhi saw that it was Liu Minghui who came and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, the head of the personnel department is talking to Deputy Director Li."

Liu Minghui nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I'll wait here for a while."

Afterwards, Liu Minghui chatted with Wang Zhi, who had also just arrived at the steel mill. The two chatted about the gossip about the steel mill.

"Comrade Liu, I heard that the kitchen squad leader lives in the same courtyard as you?"

"Yes, what's the problem with Secretary Wang?"

"Recently there have been a lot of rumors in the factory saying that He Yuzhu is having an affair with a married woman in your factory. Do you know anything about this?"

Wang Zhi is also a young man, so he is naturally curious about these gossips. Liu Minghui happened to come today, so he asked about it.

Liu Minghui said in amazement: "Has it spread so widely now? Even you know about it."

Wang Zhi said in disbelief: "Don't say you don't know. Many people in the steel mill know about this, but they just don't discuss it openly."

Speaking of Liu Minghui, although he knew there might be some gossip, he didn't know it would spread like this.

"I'm really not sure about this, but Shazhu, or He Yuzhu, does send lunch boxes or something to his neighbor every now and then, and that woman occasionally helps him clean up or something."

"I don't know the rest."

This is the truth. Although I know that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu will get together in the future, Jia Dongxu is still alive now, and Sha Zhu doesn't have the courage to do that.

Qin Huairu cleaned up Sha Zhu's house to shut up the people in the hospital and prevent them from saying that the Jia family was taking advantage of Sha Zhu.

Usually when Qin Huairu went to Shazhu's house, Jia Zhang would go with her, or bring Banggeng with her.

So in the eyes of the people in the hospital, Qin Huairu was just working in exchange for a lunch box.

Wang Zhi said in surprise: "So that's what happened."

"I thought what those people said was true. I saw that they spoke with a clear beginning and an end."

Liu Minghui waved her hands and said, "How is that possible? Her husband is still alive."

"Besides, this idiot doesn't have the guts to do that."

The two chatted for a long time before Li Huaide's office was opened. Li Huaide sent out the head of the personnel department. Although Li Huaide's rank was higher than his, the personnel department was managed by Director Yang. Li Huaide acted very respectfully.

"Minghui, you're here?"

After Li Huaide sent the people away, he saw Liu Minghui standing aside and said.

"Uncle Li, didn't you ask me to come here?"

Liu Minghui followed Li Huaide into the office and said, "Uncle Li, what's going on?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Come and sit for a while."

The two men sat down on the sofa. Li Huaide took out a cigarette, threw it to Liu Minghui and lit it.

"I called you here this time because I have something good to tell you."

Liu Minghui raised his eyebrows. Good news? It was only about his promotion after the new year.

"Is my matter settled?"

Li Huaide nodded: "You are smart, it has been approved at the meeting today, just wait until it is reported to the higher authorities, this kind of thing will not block you."

Liu Minghui nodded. He also knew that such small cadres usually just had to report to the higher authorities after being approved by a meeting at the steel rolling mill.

"This matter will be broadcasted after the new year. You must maintain your current performance. You must know that it is because you can get the materials that Director Yang approved it."

The steel mill is still expanding. Although there are no conflicts between Li Huaide and Director Yang, they have already begun to place their own people in various positions in the steel mill.

A section chief is also a considerable bargaining chip.

"Uncle Li, don't worry about this."

"From now on, just watch me."

Liu Minghui said with full fighting spirit.

This made Li Huaide very satisfied. This is what young people should do. You know, Liu Minghui has been very lazy in the past few months. If he hadn't completed the tasks every month, Li Huaide would have wanted to catch him and scold him.
