The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Third Aunt has been married to Yan Bugui for half her life, so she has naturally learned Yan Bugui's calculations. In her opinion, asking her family to pay this money is like cutting her flesh.

After saying that, he didn't stand around to watch and went straight home.

Liu Minghui didn't care about the departure of the three aunts. After discussing with Master Chen, he watched him operate.

When Master Chen was working, many people who were at home in the courtyard came out to take a look. After the people who came later asked how much it would cost, they all kept silent.

While Master Chen was busy, Liu Minghui was talking to Li Tian on the side.

"We are just like this in this courtyard. Don't take it personally."

Liu Minghui said with a smile, referring to the matter of the three aunts.

Li Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

"I've seen a lot of people like this. If I were to care about them all, I'd be exhausted to death."

Li Tian has been working in the street office for quite some time, so he naturally knows that some people are more frugal. People usually refuse things like this that cost a lot of money.

"Comrade Liu, I've got it ready for you. I'll go connect the wires outside, and you should be able to use it tonight."

Master Chen walked over and said.

Liu Minghui thanked Master Chen and gave the money to Li Tian.

"I'll register it for you. If someone pulls the wires in the future, I'll ask them to give you the money."

Li Tian said after taking the money.

"Then I'll get busy first. If you have any questions, come and find me at the street office."

Li Tian didn't wait for Liu Minghui to answer, and hurriedly took Master Chen away.

After the two left, Liu Minghui ignored the people who were still pointing and talking in the yard, and took Yu Li home.

When it was almost evening, Master Chen came over to try it out, and left after seeing that it could light up.

"We won't have to light kerosene lamps at night anymore."

Yu Li said happily while looking at the light above her head.

“How much does the electricity bill cost every month?”

Yu Li asked curiously.

Liu Minghui thought for a moment before saying, "Li Tian from the street office said that a light bulb costs 50 cents a month, and a radio costs 1.5 yuan a month."

There is no electricity meter to count how much electricity you use, so you are charged according to how many household appliances you have at home.

"That's not cheap either. We'll have to spend three dollars a month on electricity."

Yu Li counted on her fingers.

Liu Minghui hugged Yu Li and said, "I'm worried that my monthly salary of more than 80 yuan is not enough to spend."

"You can't spend your salary recklessly even if you have a high salary."

"Don't worry, I promise to keep you plump and white."

Liu Minghui pinched Yu Li's little face and said.

After dinner in the evening, Liu Minghui and his friend listened to the radio at home. Liu Dazhuang was also sitting here. There were many neighbors outside. Liu Minghui turned up the volume of the radio quite loud so that people outside could hear it a little.

At this time, Yan Bugui walked in. When he came back in the afternoon, he heard from his wife that Liu Minghui had spent a lot of money to buy a radio and install electrical wires today. He came here to ask Liu Minghui to take out the radio so that everyone could listen to it together.

"Minghui, this is a big deal."

Yan Bugui looked at it with envy, thinking about buying one, but he couldn't get a ticket after such a long time.

"Uncle, you are joking. What are you doing here?"

Liu Minghui didn't know what Yan Bugui wanted to do, so he asked directly.

"I'm here for the neighbors in the yard. You see, this radio can be listened to by one person or by a group of people. Can you take it outside so that everyone can listen to it?"

Yan Bugui said a little embarrassedly that it was the neighbors outside who instigated him to come here. Apart from Xu Damao, he, Yan Bugui, was the only one in the courtyard who could talk to Liu Minghui, so naturally he was the only one who could take on this mission.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui thought carefully and felt that it would not be good for him to have a strained relationship with everyone while living in this courtyard.

We have to win over the people living in the front yard no matter what.

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Since Third Master has spoken, we have to do it."

After saying that, he got up and went out. Seeing that all the neighbors were outside, Liu Minghui stood at the door and said, "Everyone is here. Uncle San just came to me and told me that everyone wanted to listen to the radio. I personally think that this is no problem. After all, we are all neighbors and we should help each other."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he asked Yu Li to take out the radio.

"Chief Liu is so generous. This is an opera, right?"

One man said something, and others also praised Liu Minghui.

"Okay, okay, from now on you can just listen for an hour every day. Of course, that only applies when there's someone at home."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he took Yu Li and sat down outside.

Then everyone listened quietly. Tonight, not only people from the front yard came, but also many people from the middle yard and the back yard came to join in the fun.

This made Liu Haizhong, who followed him, wonder if he should buy a radio as well. Without mentioning Liu Haizhong's thoughts, Yi Zhonghai was relatively calm. He didn't want to go against Liu Minghui now, and he didn't lack this little money.

The money to buy a radio was just over one month's salary, but he had to save money for retirement, so he didn't buy anything new for the family.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Liu Minghui stood up and said, "Okay, everyone, it's getting late today, let's all go."

Seeing Liu Minghui driving people away, the people in the courtyard had no objection, after all, it was already agreed upon.

Yan Bugui came over after everyone had left.

"Minghui, thank you for today."

Yan Bugui was talking about the fact that Liu Minghui gave him face in front of everyone.

"Uncle, how can you say that? I just want to have a good relationship with my neighbors."

Liu Minghui shook his head and denied Yan Bugui's words. He just mentioned it casually. It was mainly Liu Minghui's own idea.

"Uncle, you should go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Liu Minghui went home directly without waiting for Yan Bugui to reply.

In the Central Courtyard, Jia Zhang returned home and saw Jia Dongxu lying on the bed.

"Dongxu, why don't you go over there? This opera is really good."

Jia Zhang was still savoring the memory.

However, Jia Dongxu felt that his mother was a bit annoying. He and Liu Minghui didn't get along well in the first place, and yet he went to join in the fun. Whoever wanted to go to this embarrassing thing could go.

Jia Dongxu pulled the quilt over his head and didn't want to pay any attention to Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, please stop talking and go to bed early."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and said, Qin Huairu knew that her man and Liu Minghui had a bad relationship, so she didn't go there tonight because she didn't want Jia Dongxu to think too much.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang also remembered.

I went to bed immediately.
