I messed up the Siheyuan

"Hehe!..." Liu Guangtian laughed: "You don't know.

Since Yan Jiecheng started working, he has to pay six yuan and fifty cents to his family every month.

Of this money, three dollars and a half is for food and three dollars is for accommodation.”

"Uh!" Ma Erkui was stunned for a moment. "Yan Jiecheng doesn't have a formal job... This... Uncle San is too cruel! He asked him to pay so much money?"

"What kind of person is Third Uncle? Don't you know him?" Wang Ping smiled and said, "It's not surprising that he can do such a thing."

Liu Guangtian and Ma Erkui nodded in agreement.

"What about you, Erkui?" Wang Ping asked, "You will graduate in the second half of this year. How will your family arrange it?"

"What can be arranged? There is no arrangement!" Ma Erkui lowered his head helplessly, "Brother Ping, Guangtian, you also know the situation of my family.

My father is a boiler operator in the steel rolling mill.

Although my mother worked as a custodian in the cardboard factory run by the street office, that was just a nice title to have.

In fact, my mother’s salary is not as much as my father’s!

As for my sister, it's even worse.

He and my brother-in-law were both regular employees of the Sijiucheng Textile Factory and received double wages.

But my brother-in-law's family has seven or eight people, young and old, and they depend on them for support!

I’m not afraid to tell you that sometimes, they don’t have enough money to spend, and my dad and mom have to help them out!

To be honest, our family's conditions are far worse than Guangtian's.

Anyway, the second uncle is also a seventh-level worker in the steel mill, so he has some influence in the steel mill."

"Tsk!..." Liu Guangtian curled his lips in disdain, "What little energy my father had, he used on my brother - Liu Guangqi.

My brother Guangfu and I didn't get any light at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing odd jobs outside like I am now.

In his eyes, my brother and I were just picked up from outside, not his biological sons."

"Erkui, now that you've come down, are you also going to do odd jobs in broad daylight?" Wang Ping asked.

"If not doing odd jobs, what else can I do?" Ma Erkui responded weakly.

"Hmm!" Wang Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Erkui, Guangtian, I'm not afraid to tell you that after I become a regular employee, I will have a lot more money on hand.

If you two have any difficulties in the future, just ask me and I will help you if I can."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guangtian's eyes slightly reddened, and he choked up a little as he said, "Brother Ping, you don't have to be like this. I...didn't I just say...I have enough money to spend...I can save a lot every month..."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, his face straightened, "Just now, my father and the first and third uncles were discussing holding a hospital-wide meeting at my house, and they mentioned you.

I heard them say: For someone like you who eats meat and buys candy, even if you get a permanent job, your salary may not be enough to spend.

It won’t be long before even the pension money the factory gave to Uncle Wang will be squandered!”

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Ma Erkui on the side also echoed: "My father and my mother also said that if you continue to eat and drink lavishly like this, in less than two years, you will squander all the wealth left by Uncle Wang."

"Uh!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, "Eating and drinking lavishly? Eating meat? Buying candy? Spending all the family wealth? This...

Do they know? Where did I buy those things? "

"Brother Ping, who in this yard doesn't know about this? It's just the black market!" Liu Guangtian said, "My dad also said that you will ruin your life because of your greed."

"Oh my god!" Wang Ping cursed fiercely in his heart.

However, the people in the yard misunderstood that he was buying things from the black market, which put his mind at ease.

Otherwise, if people keep holding on to the meat and sugar that were revealed some time ago, it would be difficult to explain it away.

At this moment, a duck's voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey! ...Three little brothers, whispering here!..."

The three of them turned around in surprise and found Xu Damao walking towards them with a smile.

After coming over, he politely handed a cigarette to each of the three people.

When Liu Guangtian and Ma Erkui saw that it was a good cigarette like "Da Qianmen", they hurriedly took it over happily.

After taking it, he was afraid that others would find it, so after looking around, he carefully put it in his pocket.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Damao laughed and threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes in his hand directly over.

"You two boys, you've grown up so much, what's the big deal about a cigarette? Are you afraid your family will find out?" He waved his hand again, "Go! Go!... Find a place where no one is around and drink. Pingzi and I are going to talk here."

Xu Damao's words did not make Liu Guangtian and Ma Erkui stand up immediately.

The two men first looked at Wang Ping, and when they saw Wang Ping nodded slightly, they got up and left.

Watching the two men leaving, Xu Damao sighed, turned to look at Wang Ping, and said in surprise: "Pingzi, you are really good! These two guys are so obedient to you now..."

"Brother Damao, look at what you said. We are all brothers..." Wang Ping replied and changed the subject, "Brother Damao, who are you looking for..."

"Yes!" Xu Damao nodded and said formally, "I want to ask you something."

"Then you say, Brother Damao."

"Pingzi...you..." Xu Damao said hesitantly, "If it's convenient for you, could you tell me, through whose relationship in our factory you were able to get a regular job early?

Don't worry, Brother Damao is not a errand boy.

After the matter is accomplished, I will reward you handsomely."

"Brother Damao, what are you doing...?"

Before Wang Ping could finish his words, Xu Damao hurriedly said, "Pingzi, don't worry, your brother Damao is not a big mouth.

I won’t shout about this kind of thing.”

As he spoke, he sighed again, "Actually, I just want to use your connections to get myself a work-for-hire status.

Something!

I have been working in the Propaganda Department for six or seven years, and I am still a worker.

Among the five people who joined the Propaganda Department in the same year as me, I was the only one who did not get promoted.

Over the years, I have become very familiar with leaders from top to bottom, and I have given many gifts...

But when it comes to promotion, they just ignore me."

"Ugh!" Wang Ping swallowed dryly and said with a stammer, "Brother Damao, do you think...Is it because of the relationship between me and a leader in the factory that I was able to get a regular job early?"

"Isn't that right?" Xu Damao frowned. "I've been in our factory for so many years, and I've never heard of an apprentice being able to become a regular employee in advance after just one month of work."

Wang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Damao, my early promotion was not due to anyone's help."

Seeing Xu Damao frowning slightly, he quickly continued to explain: "It was actually a coincidence.

The small canteen in our factory that is specifically used for reception is the one that Brother Zhuzi is in charge of.

The supply of meat there has been quite tight during this period.

Once, just last month, I almost ran out of food.

It was only thanks to Deputy Director Li's good connections that he was able to get a few pounds of meat.

At the beginning of this month, the canteen ran out of meat again.

This time, before our section chief went to see Deputy Director Li, I got 15 kilograms of meat and handed it over. "
