The two-day vacation was gone in the blink of an eye. Liu Ping'an was a stay-at-home in his previous life. Although he had a dream of traveling around the world, he had never put it into action.

There is no reason, it's just that my wallet won't allow it. I don't lack money in this life, but the current policy doesn't allow it. It's really fate!

However, Liu Ping'an did not do nothing during these two days. He set up the honeycomb coal stove for stewing meat in the living room again. This kind of coal stove cannot be extinguished after it is lit, otherwise it will have to be re-lit, which directly wastes a coal ball, which is not cost-effective.

For example, residents living in a slum usually use a new coal ball to replace the one in the middle that is burning out and has little charcoal left to start a fire. If they want to cook, they have to wait at least a quarter of an hour for the fire to be well lit.

Liu Ping'an didn't have any acquaintances on Chen Xueru's side, but fortunately there was a stove, so he lit the stove while cooking. The aroma of braised meat wafted through the hall again.

After Xu Huizhen left, Liu Pingan also asked Chen Xueru when they were alone - how did my big pot of braised meat disappear?

My wife’s answer was – there’s no meat!

As a result, that afternoon, Liu Ping'an came back alone with a large bag of meat. They were all common ingredients for stewed meat - a large piece of pork belly, pig's trotters, elbows, beef brisket, and beef shanks.

This is not uncommon in this era. Although this is a poor city, not many people can enjoy the freedom to eat meat.

This stunned Chen Xueru, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and she asked, "Where did you get so much meat?"

Finally, it was time for her to hit No. 13. Liu Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't you see what your husband does for a living?" He showed off his superiority a little.

"Aren't you just an electrician in a steel mill now? What is there to show off?" Chen Xueru said unhappily.

This sentence instantly broke down Liu Ping'an's defense, and the scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Pingan finally realized that it was his fault. He had not told his family about his job transfer, which was actually to avoid unnecessary trouble.

If someone asks you why you switched from an electrician position with a monthly salary of more than 60 yuan to a logistics position with a monthly salary of 23 yuan, if you dare to say that you switched directly to a cadre position, someone will make a fuss about it. Nowadays, if you are not a technical secondary school student or a college student, it is difficult to switch to a cadre position unless you have made contributions.

If you don't say it, others will think you are a little cutie with a dull mind.

When Li Huaide transferred me to another position, he reminded me to work hard for a while and make achievements first. When someone brings this up in the future, I can use Liu Ping'an's work ability to slap the other person in the face.

Fortunately, Liu Ping'an, who had the blessing of space, did not disappoint Director Li. Although he was not the champion of his three groups every month, his performance was always in the top three every month, which made others unable to find fault with him.

When you go out to work, your academic qualifications are not important, but your ability is. Only those who have organizations and backers can use academic qualifications to speak, but the brothers on this track are all at the same starting line, and no one is inferior to anyone else. In the end, it all depends on personal ability.

This is not a very busy task. Compared with the series of things to do after harvesting crops in the countryside, it is already as easy as it can be.

The fields around the city of Sijiu all belong to the state, more specifically to the various communes, and finally to the individuals, that is, the brigades of each village. There is no management level smaller than this. No matter how difficult the next two years will be, these people will not starve.

Before the reform and opening up, the richest family in the village must have been the village chief's family, which was indisputable.

Everyone dislikes the high prices of goods, vegetables and living costs in cities, but everyone likes to move into cities because everyone knows that cities are good, and compared to the services they usually enjoy, these are not a problem.

Two days of vacation were gone in the blink of an eye.

But it doesn't matter. For me who has a space farm, there is no job more suitable for me in this era than purchasing. I work one day a week and rest six days. Liu Ping'an can work until the steel mill goes bankrupt. Emmm, it seems that the steel mill where I worked in the 80s really disappeared. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't affect me much.

"By the way, are you going back to the factory to work tomorrow?" Chen Xueru said to Liu Ping'an who was fiddling with braised meat in the living room.

"Well, I have to go back and report tomorrow. Didn't I tell you that I only have two days off? Today is the last day."

"What's wrong? Is there anything you need?" Liu Ping'an asked back.

"Forget it, it's okay. Anyway, your work is like your vacation. You can stay at home five days out of seven."

"So, do you electricians really have so much free time? You don't even have to go to the factory?" Chen Xueru asked puzzled.

"Do you have any jobs like this in your steel mill? Please introduce one to me, so that I can earn some income while lying at home every month."

"Aren't you just looking for a job without doing any work? There is no such good thing nowadays. Just have a good sleep at night." Liu Ping'an said unhappily.

"What do you mean by just having a good night's sleep?"

"There are all kinds of things in dreams." Liu Ping'an replied bluntly. Pregnancy really makes people stupid for three years. You are worthy of asking such a question now.

"You, you just want to make me angry, right?"

It is indeed impossible to reason with a woman. Instead of continuing to argue with his wife, he just found a random topic to distract his wife's attention.

Sure enough, after a while, Chen Xueru stopped talking about her work, otherwise she would have to explain for a long time.

"So are you going to leave, or are you going to bring Huizhen back to take care of me?"

"Yes, I told him that I will take care of him until the baby is born."

Chen Xueru immediately grasped the crux of the matter. What did her husband agree to do with another woman? And this woman was her best friend.

But then I thought, Xu Huizhen is with me all day long, inseparable from me 24 hours a day, so there shouldn't be anything shameful between them.

But in the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What did you agree with Huizhen?"

"We agreed to let him take care of you."

So I asked for nothing? Chen Xueru continued to ask, "That's it?"

"Well, that's it, what else do you think?"
