Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" More than ten minutes later, Zhang Jinshan and Yan Jiekuang came to the door of the Finance Department and knocked on the door of the Finance Department office.

"Come in!" After getting permission, Zhang Jinshan pushed the door open and took Yan Jiekuang into the Finance Department, saying, "Sister Lili, are you on duty today?!"

Ma Lili smiled and said, "Isn't it me who was on duty that day?!"

Zhang Jinshan smiled and said, "Sister Lili, this is a new member of our group, his name is Yan Jiekuang."

"Sister Lili!" Yan Jiekuang took the initiative to greet her. Ma Lili looked at Yan Jiekuang and said with a smile: "You are such a sweet talker. I am almost as old as your mother, and you still call me sister?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "I really can't tell. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were only one or two years older than me?!"

After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Ma Lili couldn't help laughing and said, "You are a good talker." Then Ma Lili took out a notebook, turned to the page of the Logistics Department's Purchasing Group, and said, "Sign here. You are new here, and you are an apprentice. You can get a reserve fund of 100 yuan. If it exceeds 100 yuan, you can either pay it first or write an IOU. Wait a minute, and let your team leader take you to the Logistics Department's warehouse to familiarize yourself with it. In case you send things to the wrong place."

"Thank you, Sister Lili, for your support!" Yan Jiekuang signed, received the money, and followed Zhang Jinshan out of the Finance Department. Then Zhang Jinshan took Yan Jiekuang to the labor protection warehouse to get clothes and some labor protection supplies, and then took Yan Jiekuang to pick up a tricycle for purchasing supplies.

After receiving all the items, Zhang Jinshan took Yan Jiekuang to the logistics warehouse, explained the delivery process to Yan Jiekuang, and then took Yan Jiekuang back to the office.

"Brother Zhang!" Yan Jiekuang took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out two cigarettes and handed one to him. Zhang Jinshan took the cigarette, looked at it, and said, "Your cigarettes are pretty good, kid?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I got this from my father-in-law."

Zhang Jinshan took out a match and lit a cigarette, saying, "Xiao Yan, I have already told you what should and shouldn't be said. Normally, you should be found someone to take care of you. But now everyone in our group is out, so you can only rely on yourself."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry! I will do my best. My uncle's family is in Zuojiazhuang. I will go there in a while. Maybe I can bring back some good things."

Zhang Jinshan nodded and said, "Okay! Then go ahead!" Then he reminded, "Remember, report to the factory at 7 o'clock every morning. Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the items purchased that day must be delivered to the warehouse. You cannot ride the tricycle back home without special reasons."

"Got it! I'll leave first then!" Yan Jiekuang left the office. Looking at Yan Jiekuang's back, Zhang Jinshan said, "I hope this kid will have good luck!"

In the heavy machine tool factory, the tricycle is the symbol of the logistics department's procurement. Under normal circumstances, the logistics department's procurement personnel will not be stopped when they leave the factory on a tricycle, but Yan Jiekuang is a newcomer, and it is his first day at the factory, so the security department's people don't know him yet. So when Yan Jiekuang rode his tricycle to the factory gate, he was stopped by the security department.

Yan Jiekuang immediately took out his work ID and handed it over. The security officer took the ID and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he returned the ID to Yan Jiekuang and asked casually, "Are you the logistics department purchaser who reported in today?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and replied, "It's me!" Then he asked, "What's your name, big brother?"

Du Dawei introduced himself: "My last name is Du, Du Dawei. I am the captain of the fourth team of the factory security department."

"Brother Du, I'm new here, please take care of me in the future." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang took out a cigarette box and scattered cigarettes around, then stuffed the remaining half pack of cigarettes into Du Dawei's hand, and said, "Brother Du, I still have to go shopping, so I'll leave first!" After saying that, Yan Jiekuang rode his tricycle out of the factory gate.

Du Dawei looked at the cigarette in his hand and muttered, "I never knew this guy was so generous!!"

After leaving the machine tool factory, Yan Jiekuang did not leave the city, but rode his tricycle back home first. Yan Bugui, who was taking care of his grandchildren at home, saw Yan Jiekuang suddenly return and asked curiously: "Jiekuang, didn't you go to work?! Why are you back?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Dad, buyers don't have to work every day. They just need to complete the purchasing tasks."

Yan Bugui saw the tricycle parked at the gate and asked, "Is that the one your factory assigned to you?"

"Yes!" Yan Jiekuang responded, "To facilitate our purchases. But before leaving get off work at night, we still have to deliver the tricycle to the factory." Then Yan Jiekuang put his work clothes back into the house, took out the labor protection supplies issued by the factory and handed them to the three aunts, saying, "I still have purchase tasks, so I'll leave first!"

"Go get busy!" Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiekuang leave, smiled and looked at the labor protection supplies in the third aunt's hand, and said: "These are all good things. Not only can you use them at home, but you can also save some and exchange them with others."

The third aunt smiled and said, "Since you want to save it to exchange for something, then just put it away!"

"Hey!" Yan Bugui responded, took the things from the third aunt, and said, "You better take good care of the child!"

"Don't worry! It won't be lost!" After saying that, the third aunt couldn't help laughing when she saw Yan Bugui's anxious look.

After leaving home, Yan Jiekuang rode his tricycle around the streets. As he rode around, he arrived near Donglaishun near noon. Yan Jiekuang rode the tricycle into an empty alley, put the tricycle into the space, and then walked into Donglaishun unsteadily.

After lunch, Yan Jiekuang rode his tricycle to continue to visit Sijiu City. Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jiekuang rode his tricycle to the machine tool factory. Not far from the machine tool factory, Yan Jiekuang took out two pieces of pork and a basket of eggs from the space and put them on the tricycle, and continued to pedal the tricycle to the factory.

Maybe Zhang Jinshan was worried about Yan Jiekuang, or it was just a coincidence. When Yan Jiekuang arrived at the logistics department warehouse, Zhang Jinshan was there too. Zhang Jinshan saw the pork and eggs on the tricycle and said with a smile, "You are lucky today, kid?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother Zhang, I just happened to come here today. My uncle's team was slaughtering pigs and dividing the meat today. When I went there, there happened to be a pig that hadn't been divided yet, so I got it directly. There was also a basket of eggs."

The person in charge of weighing saw the thick fat on the pig and said, "Wow! The meat is good today!" Then he shouted, "A total of 217 pounds of pork." Then he weighed the eggs. The person who issued the invoice wrote the document, handed it to Yan Jiekuang, and said, "Go to the Finance Department to report it!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded, said hello to Zhang Jinshan, parked the tricycle in the parking space, and then took the list to the Finance Department. The purchase price of agricultural and sideline products outside the plan of the heavy machine tool factory was 90 cents per pound of pork and 60 cents per pound of eggs. The total amount of things Yan Jiekuang purchased today was almost more than 200 yuan.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Yan Jiekuang arrived at the door of the Finance Department and saw that it was open. He reached out and knocked on the door, then walked in and said, "Sister Lili, I'm here to settle the bill." After that, Yan Jiekuang handed over the list in his hand.
