Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

He Yuzhu still thought about his duties as a grain station purchaser. After saying goodbye to Xu Huizhen, he went to the grain station.

On the one hand, he had not yet received his salary from the grain station this month; on the other hand, he wanted to sell the wheat to the grain station.

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at the office of Director Liu of the grain station.

"Stationmaster Liu, long time no see!" Looking at Stationmaster Liu who was leisurely reading the newspaper, He Yuzhu couldn't help but greet him with a smile.

When Stationmaster Liu saw that the person coming was He Yuzhu, he quickly stood up, staggered over with his fat body, and held He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Zhuzi, you are finally here. I heard that you are working in Fengze Garden. It seems that you are running the tavern business with your wife?"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "I have no choice! My father-in-law is eager to enjoy his retirement life, so he handed the pub over to my wife. As a husband, I naturally can't just stand by and watch."

Stationmaster Liu gave a thumbs up and said approvingly: "Good fellow, you are a good man who cares about his wife!"

Suddenly, Stationmaster Liu slapped his forehead, then took out an envelope from the drawer of his desk and handed it directly to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, this is your salary of 70 yuan last month, plus a bonus of 50 yuan for completing the purchasing target, a total of 120 yuan."

This was the salary given by the grain station, so He Yuzhu naturally didn't hesitate and took the envelope.

Seeing that Stationmaster Liu was so straightforward, He Yuzhu had no intention of hiding anything. "Stationmaster Liu, it is March now, and it is indeed difficult to purchase food! But in order not to disappoint Stationmaster Liu's trust, I have visited several communes and roughly calculated that I can purchase about 6,000 kilograms of wheat, which are their reserves for the New Year."

He Yuzhu asked tentatively: "How about we bring this batch of wheat back today?"

When Stationmaster Liu heard that He Yuzhu could purchase another 6,000 kilograms of wheat, his eyes lit up. The other purchasers at the grain station were generally not motivated before the spring ploughing season. In comparison, the 6,000 kilograms of wheat He Yuzhu just mentioned was simply too impressive. Stationmaster Liu hurriedly said, "Zhuzi, your professionalism is higher than that of all the purchasers in the station! They have been quiet since the Chinese New Year. Then you go quickly and don't let others buy it all."

After saying that, Stationmaster Liu took out the grain purchase money from the drawer and handed it to He Yuzhu. Based on the price of wheat at six cents per pound, the total purchase price of 6,000 pounds was 360 yuan.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with the enthusiasm for purchasing. After all, March is the busy farming season, so it is normal that there is no food to purchase. I am lucky to have a surplus of food."

Stationmaster Liu nodded in understanding and said nothing more. He Yuzhu then drove away in the truck.

He drove the truck to the suburbs, put the bamboo baskets filled with chicken, duck and goose eggs that he had prepared in advance on the truck, and then drove to the gate of the steel mill.

Led by the security guard of the steel rolling mill, he met Deputy Director Li, who also served as the director of logistics and procurement.

"Deputy Director Li, Brother Liu Weimin said earlier that our steel mill is buying chicken, duck and goose eggs from outside. Is that true? I went to the market today and got a truckload of eggs here. I want to see if your factory will buy them."

He Yuzhu directly mentioned his relationship with Liu Weimin, the purchasing agent of the steel rolling mill, and then went straight to the point of stating the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Li immediately smiled and said, "Chef He, how come you're starting a small business selling chicken and goose eggs? Well, I'll take all the eggs, and I'll charge 6 cents for each chicken egg, 10 cents for each goose egg, and 7 cents for each duck egg. What do you think of this price?"

This price was much higher than what Liu Weimin had told him before. He Yuzhu was immediately overjoyed and said gratefully, "I am very satisfied with the price you gave me, Deputy Director Li. Thank you so much!"

Deputy Director Li laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Master He, oh no, I should call you Master He. You don't have to be polite to me. In the future, we may have to trouble you to come and help us at high-level banquets in our steel mill!"

The main reason for buying his chickens, ducks and goose eggs at a high price was because of the last sentence that He Yuzhu would be the chef for the high-level banquet.

He Yuzhu also understood this and nodded with a smile: "This is all a small matter. In the future, whenever the steel mill needs me, I will definitely arrive on time as long as I am free."

Soon, the people from the purchasing department told Deputy Director Li the number of chicken, duck and goose eggs. Deputy Director Li then counted the money - 84 yuan for chicken eggs, 98 yuan for duck eggs, and 140 yuan for goose eggs, a total of 322 yuan, which he all gave to He Yuzhu.

After the two men exchanged polite greetings, He Yuzhu said goodbye and left. As he walked to the truck, he noticed that Yi Zhonghai was whispering with an old lady. He didn't want to expose himself, so he got into the truck and used his spiritual sense to listen silently to their conversation.

I just heard the aunt questioned bluntly: "Hey, Lao Yi, I want to ask you if you embezzled the support money that He Daqing sent to He Yushui?"

It turned out that when an aunt was packing up things at home, she accidentally found an envelope in Yi Zhonghai's clothes. Inside was a short letter from He Daqing to He Yuzhu, mentioning that the ten yuan child support for He Yuzhu this month had been sent.

However, she did not find the ten yuan in the envelope. She was angry that Yi Zhonghai had hidden it from her, so she came to Yi Zhonghai to confirm whether he had taken He Yushui's child support.

Facing the silent Yi Zhonghai, the auntie continued to ask: "Old Yi, that is He Yushui's money. Don't you feel guilty for taking the money privately?"

However, Yi Zhonghai cursed in a low voice: "Stupid woman, you know nothing! This is what the little bastard He Yuzhu owes me!"

Then Yi Zhonghai began to complain: "Since He Daqing left, He Yuzhu has been plotting against me time and again. Don't you see how much money he has extorted from me? It's only this little money every month. I don't know when I can recover my losses!"

Yi Zhonghai looked around to make sure there was no one around, and once again warned the aunt seriously: "Don't gossip around! Do you understand? If the little bastard He Yuzhu hears it, it will cause big trouble again!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's behavior, and thinking that He Yuzhu had already moved out and no longer lived in No. 95 Siheyuan, it seemed that this matter should be difficult to detect. The aunt finally decided to help Yi Zhonghai keep the secret: "Okay, Old Yi, I won't mention this matter again, you can take care of yourself!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while and then left.
