The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"But I'll still go over and help clean up."

Yu Li thought for a moment before speaking.

"Brother-in-law, drink water."

Yu Haitang handed a cup to Liu Minghui, who took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Haitang."

Liu Minghui gave Yu Li the key to the new house.

"I'll give you the key first. If you go there in the afternoon, you can go and take a look yourself."

"okay."

Liu Minghui thought for a while before saying, "I think we should get the marriage certificate in a few days, and then set up a few tables in the courtyard on a Sunday."

Liu Minghui expressed his thoughts.

Yu Li and her mother were a little confused. Yu's mother had heard Yu Li say before that there would not be a wedding banquet, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

"Didn't they say that a simple meal between the two families would be enough? Why did it change again?"

"Many colleagues at the steel mill knew about this and insisted on attending my wedding. In particular, Deputy Director Li wanted to be my witness. Plans can't keep up with changes."

Liu Minghui explained the matter clearly, and Yu's mother was very happy to hear it. Who doesn't want her daughter to marry off in glory? Especially since Liu Minghui also said that the deputy director of the steel rolling mill would come to attend, which was also a good thing.

"That's great. Minghui is a leader now, so we have to invite leaders from all departments in the factory. The money should be spent."

Yu's mother was very proud that her daughter had found such a good son-in-law, and she had been showing off to others in the yard quite a lot recently.

Yu Li didn't have any objection. She was a relatively traditional woman and would listen to Liu Minghui on important matters at home. Since Liu Minghui wanted to have a big wedding, then let it be. It would just cost a little more money and she could just save some money in the future.

After discussing for a while, Liu Minghui stood up and prepared to leave.

"I'll leave first. After all, I still have things to do at the factory."

"Then go get busy first, work is more important."

Yu Li did not stop him. She and Yu's mother sent Liu Minghui out the door and watched him leave.

After get off work in the afternoon, Liu Minghui stayed at the steel rolling mill until the end of his shift after leaving Yu Li's house today.

Tell Li Huaide that the supplies have been arranged and will arrive in batches in the next two days.

Liu Minghui planned to put half of the supplies in the yard tomorrow and put the rest there the day after tomorrow.

This wouldn't be so surprising, after all, it would be too exaggerated to handle such a large amount of food in one day.

Liu Minghui returned to the courtyard and saw that his door was open as soon as he entered. Yu Li was packing things in the two rooms that had been allocated to them today.

Liu Minghui parked his bicycle at the door and went in.

"Lily, when did you come?"

I saw Yu Li cleaning up a pile of garbage, most of which were rotten wood and so on.

"I came here at noon because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it today."

Yu Li stood up, wiped her forehead, and spoke to Liu Minghui.

"It's just right that you're back. Can you help take these things outside? These woods can be used for making fire."

Under Yu Li's instructions, Liu Minghui rolled up his sleeves and started to work. These were left behind by people who had lived here before.

There is basically nothing usable, most of them are rotten things.

While Liu Minghui and Yu Li were busy, there were many people watching outside.

"Minghui, what are you doing?"

At this time, the three aunts came over and asked, looking around with curiosity.

"Third Auntie, this is just for hygiene."

Liu Minghui looked at the three aunts seriously and said.

The three aunts felt choked.

"Your third aunt can still see this. I just want to ask about this house, right?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. Today, the steel mill allocated these two houses to me."

Liu Minghui did not hide it either. After all, it was not something that could not be told.

The third aunt was a little surprised after hearing this. You know, the Yan family also wanted this house. It was so crowded for six people to live in two houses in their own family. Who would have thought that Liu Minghui had three houses by himself? This made the third aunt very jealous.

"You cadres are better off than me. My son Jiecheng doesn't even know when he'll get a house."

The third aunt said sourly.

"Well, if you just work hard, you'll get there sooner or later."

Liu Minghui agreed with the third aunt's words and said that there are still many houses in the city now, but it may not be the case after Yan Jiecheng becomes a regular employee.

Because Liu Minghui remembered that many people would flock to Sijiu City in the next two years, most of them would come to Sijiu City after the grain production decreased.

Although some of these people will be repatriated, most of them will settle down in Beijing.

Liu Minghui didn't plan to say more and went back to continue his work. He couldn't leave all the things to Yu Li, so Liu Minghui still had to help himself.

After the people in the compound got off work and went home, the neighbors realized that Liu Minghui had two more houses, which made many people who didn't have enough houses envious.

But this does not include the Jia family. Jia Zhang was cursing at home for the whole afternoon because Yu Li had already told them about it when she came.

"Liu Minghui is really something. Even after getting married, there are only two of them, but they have three houses. The leaders of this steel mill are really unkind. They gave so many houses to Liu Minghui."

Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable watching Jia Zhang cursing at her. You know, the Jia family only had one house and they all lived on the same kang.

Usually when she and Jia Dongxu communicated, they would draw a curtain in the middle, which made Qin Huairu very embarrassed.

"Dongxu, do you think we can get a room too?"

Qin Huairu asked while looking at Jia Dongxu who was sitting on the kang.

Jia Zhang also looked at Jia Dongxu with hope.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu shook his head.

"This is not easy to do. This house was originally allocated to our family by the steel mill. It is basically impossible to get another one now."

"Well, that's true. If your father hadn't died after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the steel mill might not have left this house and job to our family."

Jia Zhang was talking about what happened in the past. At that time, the steel rolling mill was still called Lou’s Steel Rolling Mill. If the country had not been founded, the Lou family would have been more concerned and the house and job might not have been given to the Jia family.

"So that's how it is. I thought Dongxu could get a house too."

Qin Huairu was extremely disappointed. To be honest, she was a little disappointed with Jia Dongxu. When she first got married into the family, Jia Dongxu was still an apprentice. If it weren't for the fact that Jia Dongxu had Yi Zhonghai as his master, she, Qin Huairu, might not have married into the family.

Now Jia Dongxu is not working properly and just thinking about drinking and playing cards all day long, which makes Qin Huairu very disappointed.

"Dongxu, we don't have much living expenses this month."

Qin Huairu said coquettishly.
