The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 7 Daily Life in Liujia Village

These children are also Liu Minghui's nephews and nieces. They are all children of his uncle. The children who got the candies cheered and said thank you to their uncle in unison. At this time, the people in the house heard the noise and came out.

"Minghui is here. Your uncle is still with the team. It will probably take a while for him to come back." The person who came was Minghui's aunt.

"It's okay, I'm here to take Yumei back." Liu Minghui explained his purpose with a smile.

"I'll come see my uncle after lunch. I have something to tell him."

Liu Minghui wanted to talk to his uncle about purchasing supplies.

"Okay, come over in the afternoon, I'll talk to your uncle and ask him to wait for you." said the aunt.

Liu Minghui was walking on a country road holding his niece. Not long after they met a few people from the Liu family. They saw them chatting with their uncle as they walked.

"Minghui, why are you back today?" Liu's father saw Liu Minghui and said, and several people also came over.

"I'm on vacation now, and I got a permanent job, so I came back to tell you."

When Liu's father heard this, he was very excited: "Great, great, it's good to be a regular employee. From now on, we can be considered to have settled down in the city." Liu's father was very happy. Their family had a regular worker and they had a good reputation in the village. The eldest brother, the second brother and the eldest uncle were also very happy.

"Uncle, you don't have to go back. Just come to our house and have lunch there. I have something to tell you." Liu Minghui invited.

Liu Wu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell your aunt and then I'll be there."

Liu Minghui responded and walked towards home with his father and others. They arrived home in a short while. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Liu's mother wiping a bicycle in the yard. She had wiped the bicycle clean while Liu Minghui was out.

"Mom, what are you doing? It's not dirty." Liu's mother put down the rag and said, "I saw there was a lot of dust, so I wiped it for you."

Liu Minghui didn't say anything, his mother just couldn't stand seeing things dirty and not cleaned. After a few people entered the house, the eldest brother went to the kitchen to help his eldest sister-in-law cook. After asking around, he found out that his eldest sister-in-law was pregnant. It happened that the farm was not busy these days, so he didn't let her go to work, and she just stayed at home to do housework and cook.

My eldest sister-in-law has been married for almost five years and has only one child. Fortunately, Liu's mother is quite reasonable, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is usually good. She is not like Jia Zhang in the Siheyuan who always bullies Qin Huairu.

"Mom, I think it's time for my second brother to meet a date. He's not young anymore." Liu Minghui said suddenly, and his words made Liu Dazhuang blush.

Mother Liu took over the conversation and said, "Do you even need to tell me? I have already found a matchmaker. I asked her to introduce me to someone with a stronger temper who can manage the household. Your second brother is so honest and doesn't talk much, so I can't introduce someone with a good temper, otherwise he won't know how to fight back if he is bullied."

Liu's mother began to criticize her second brother, mainly because he was indeed too honest. Sometimes when others asked for help, he didn't know how to refuse and would just work hard.

"And San'er, you're old enough now, why don't you ask a matchmaker to introduce someone to you?" As Liu's mother spoke, she turned the conversation to Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui quickly refused: "No, Mom, I can find it myself, and I promise to bring it back to you next year."

At this time, Liu's father also said: "Don't worry about this. The third child is now a formal worker. Just let him find a girl in the city."

Liu's father felt that Liu Minghui had to find a partner in the city, as this country girl was not worthy of his third son.

After a while, Liu Wu came and walked in without knocking.

"Minghui, today is a good day. We should have a good drink today." Liu Wu walked in with a piece of Erguotou in his hand.

Liu Minghui quickly stepped forward to take the wine, asked Liu Wu to sit down, poured him a glass of water and said, "Okay, drink some later."

Not long after, the food was served. Liu Wu looked at the food on the table and said, "This is a waste of money." In addition to the more common vegetables, there was also a tray full of white flour buns and a large plate of braised pork, which made everyone's eyes sparkle.

Mother Liu looked at everyone and said, "How can I have these good things at home? These are all brought back by the third son. He always brings something back every time he comes back. You don't have to be polite to his uncle."

Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks and soon they had finished half of the food. Liu Minghui had traveled through time half a year and had seen how fast and how much people ate in this era. Needless to say, it was normal for one person to eat four or five steamed buns.

After eating and drinking, Liu's mother and sister-in-law cleaned up the things, brought out some snacks, and the remaining men started drinking.

"Uncle, I just got a permanent job. Can you please inform everyone in the village if they have anything to sell? If so, I will collect it and take it back in the afternoon." Liu Minghui said after three rounds of drinks.

"Don't worry, the price will definitely not be lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperative." Liu Minghui had never collected things in the village before. After all, the output in his space was not enough, and it was easy for him to complete that small amount of tasks every month.

However, Liu Minghui couldn't always take things out of the space. He still had to go to the countryside to collect things. After all, several surrounding villages were assigned to him. That was his territory. If he didn't come to collect them, the villagers could only walk for an hour or two to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell them. Moreover, this was not safe for Liu Minghui. After all, he didn't go to the countryside to collect things but he was able to complete his mission. This was too eye-catching.

When Liu Wu heard this, he thought it was a simple matter. In the past, purchasing agents often came to him and he also had to notify them.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go to the brigade and use the loudspeaker to inform the villagers. Ask them to bring the items they want to sell to you this afternoon."

When Liu Minghui saw that the matter had been settled, he stopped talking.

After lunch, Liu Wu left to inform the villagers. Liu Minghui asked his mother and sister-in-law to help him receive the villagers at home. He gave them the price list and bills of the items purchased by the steel rolling mill and left them alone. Fortunately, his sister-in-law was literate.

In the countryside, money is not the most important thing when selling things, but tickets. After all, rural people working in the fields are not like those working in factories, and they have a certain amount of tickets every month. They sell things and get some cloth tickets in exchange, which is also very useful.

After Liu Minghui made the arrangements, he planned to take a walk in the mountains. He was going to see if there were any species that were not in the space. Bringing some in would be good for the space, because his space would be upgraded as the number of species increased. It was not so big when he first obtained the space.
