After two or three glasses of wine, the two began to chat. If you don't brag when drinking, it's like drinking in vain.

It was the third uncle Yan Bugui who started the conversation first. He took a sip of his wine and said, "Ping An, I heard that you offended Director Yang of your steel mill at the end of last year, and you have been bullied by him in recent years."

"Is this true?"

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Liu Ping'an has been married for two or three years. At this moment, only Yan Bugui in the front yard knows that he is married, and Liu Ping'an just told Yan Bugui. Liu Ping'an doesn't know whether other people know.

Anyway, when I got married, I didn't invite those big grudges from Yard 95. I just invited all the co-workers in my electrician team except myself to have a meal at noon.

It was done in a restaurant outside, which directly consumed Liu Ping'an's food coupons for almost a month. He also provided the meat to the restaurant's kitchen himself and paid a processing fee. He really didn't have the meat coupons, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.

He had not told the people in the courtyard that he had offended Director Yang and had been bullied. But now Yan Bugui, a former yard uncle who did not work in the steel mill, knew about it, which showed that his bad deeds had spread throughout the courtyard.

Liu Ping'an did not shy away from this matter. After finishing his own glass of wine, he filled another one for himself and said, "That's right. A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death!"

"What's more, I'm just a small electrician. He's not just one level older than me, but the second-in-command of the steel mill. It's already very good that he didn't fire me."

"That's right." Yan Bugui took a sip of his wine and continued, "I didn't fire you, but you've been made to suffer a lot in the past six months!"

"Uncle San is a wise man. I have been responsible for all the field work at the steel mill for the past six months. If I had not solved a problem once, I would have been fired by now."

"Ping'an, you should be more open-minded. You are still young and have an electrician's license. Once you leave the steel rolling mill, that Yang guy is nothing. How can he control you?" After hearing this, Yan Bugui toasted Liu Ping'an with a glass of wine and persuaded him.

"Hey, outside the steel mill, where can I find such a good unit?" Liu Ping'an, who knew that there would be trouble in five or six years, still felt that it was safe inside the steel mill.

Whether the factory stops working or not, it will not affect his monthly salary. Moreover, he is now relying on Li Huaide, the head of the steel mill for the next ten years. He won't have to worry about the turmoil in the future.

"Forget it, let's not talk about my business. I have found a way out in the steel mill and transferred to the logistics department. From now on, I don't have to look at Yang's face anymore. Logistics is not under the jurisdiction of Director Yang."

"I knew that you, Ping'an, had a promising future, but how much is your salary as a level five electrician?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile.

"Hey, I started from the bottom and worked my way down. My salary has been reduced to 20 yuan a month, but it's good not to have to endure the humiliation. I won't talk about my business anymore. Let's drink, drink. Come on, I'll fill your glass."

This wine is the 52° sauce-flavored technology imitated by Xiaobai in Liu Ping'an's space, so it is naturally not bad.

But in Yan Bugui's eyes, this wine is still a little worse than the red sausage on the plate. After the summer harvest this year, the food rations of the people were generally reduced. The most direct manifestation is that everyone's monthly rations have been reduced, and Yan Bugui is no exception. But the family's names are on the food list, and they live much better than the weird mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family in the middle court. In the three years of famine, no one has starved to death in the city.

This guy Yan Bugui drank a few glasses of wine and asked about Liu Ping'an's unhappy things. It seems that the name everyone changed - Qinman Siheyuan, this name is very appropriate.

Liu Ping'an was not a pushover either, and said directly: "This brother, Jie Cheng (born in 1939, 20 this year), is almost at the age to get married, Third Uncle, why don't you find a country girl like Qin Huairu and give you a big fat boy."

When I first came here, Yan Bugui often envied the Jia family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the middle courtyard who had land in the countryside. He said that he would also find a daughter-in-law like Qin Huairu who had land in the countryside.

The beads on this abacus jumped directly into the face of the country, but is it so easy to take advantage of the country? Within two years of Liu Ping'an's arrival, the people's commune was established in this village, and grain was distributed directly according to the centimeter.

The current household registration system in Sijiucheng has also been tightened. It is no longer possible to register as a resident simply by buying a house as Liu Ping'an did when he came. You have to have a job and take a letter of introduction from your employer to the police station to register as a resident.

Only technical secondary school students and college graduates have this treatment. Another option is to buy a job quota for retired workers. Except for administrative positions and positions with technical requirements such as electricians, all other positions are easy to get as long as you have money.

But these days, there are few rural families who can earn three digits, or just over 100 yuan. Only the head of a village or the captain of a brigade can do that.

"You kid, you're teasing your uncle again, don't make such jokes. Now that you don't have a grain book, you marry a wife who has land in the countryside, run home every day to farm, and come back at night?"

Yan Bugui is quite humorous when he said this.

"But you're right. Jie Cheng is 20 this year, and it's time for him to get married. We don't need to find someone with a job. A food certificate from the city will be enough."

Yan Bugui was very clear about the situation of his family and the positioning of his eldest son. Yan Jiecheng failed to get into high school and was not assigned a job. He could only find some flexible jobs on the street to earn some money every day. It would be good enough if he could find a wife.

"Then I wish Jie Cheng can find a satisfactory wife in advance."

"By the way, has the Jia family in the Central Courtyard and Yi Zhonghai been making any trouble recently? I haven't paid much attention to this matter recently. Uncle San, can you tell me about it?" After congratulating Yan Bugui in advance, Liu Ping'an asked about the things happening in the courtyard out of curiosity.

"Why isn't there any commotion? Apart from the Jia family in the middle courtyard, there is Xu Damao in the back courtyard. You know Xu Damao. He and He Yuzhu in the middle courtyard are also having a huge fight. They are almost going to never have anything to do with each other again."

"Oh, this Shazhu, ah, no, it should be He Yuzhu, why did he have a quarrel with Xu Damao? They grew up together in the same courtyard, it shouldn't be like this!" Liu Ping'an asked.

"Who says it won't happen? The Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu, in the Three Kingdoms said that the hatred of seizing the flag is irreconcilable. It's all because of this girl from the Lou Bancheng family. Beauty is the root of all trouble!"
