Men and women eating in the courtyard

Chapter 754 Cultural T-shirt

"Hey!"

Silly Zhu was wearing a floral apron and sat opposite Li Xuewu. He smiled evilly and said, "It's both right and wrong to say this."

After speaking, he leaned forward with a big face and said: "If Deputy Factory Director Jing is treating you, you will naturally be unpopular, but today it is Deputy Factory Director Li who is treating me. You are just teasing me."

"Haha, everyone hires leaders."

Li Xuewu murmured with his eyes: "I'm not high enough yet."

"Nonsense!"

Silly Zhu scratched his neck and raised his eyebrows: "If the head of the security department and the deputy secretary of the disciplinary inspection department are not enough..."

Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to hit him with a teacup, Shazhu immediately stopped talking and said with a smile, "I'm not praising you. I'm looking at you. I don't know who's gone?!"

After saying that, Li Xuewu put down his tea cup and leaned over, smiling and raising his eyebrows, and asked, "What game are you going to play tonight? I can see that Deputy Director Cheng is here too."

“It’s not the Hongmen Banquet anyway.”

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly, waved to the rainwater coming out of the kitchen and said, "Sister, bring me a pot of tea."

"Who are you calling girl?"

Yuyu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm older than you, you have to let me know!"

Li Xuewu nodded and said again calmly: "Okay, eldest sister, bring a pot of tea."

Now it was Yu Yu's turn to frown, moved his mouth, and turned around to go to the west room.

Silly Zhu shook his head, glanced at the two of them, and felt unhappy again.

Call me sister first, then sister, and finally...

"What are you looking at!"

When Li Xuewu turned around, he saw Silly Zhu staring at him with big eyes, looking suspicious, like a cross-eyed person.

Silly Zhu curled his lips and had no intention of teasing Kezi anymore about things in the factory. His teeth started to hurt again.

"You are hysterical~!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, reached out and opened the teacup on the table, waiting for the pot of tea waiting for the rain.

Silly Zhu crossed his arms and leaned on the table and said, "You are hysterical."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl in the west room, and then asked Li Xuewu: "Why don't you think Yu Yu is looking for a partner?"

"you ask me?!"

Li Xuewu looked at Silly Zhu and said, "Are you and your sister enemies? Or are you two thousands of miles apart? I won't ask her, but you ask me?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the rain in the west room and asked loudly: "Rain! Hmm~...".

Yuyu heard Li Xuewu's shout and turned around, only to see his brother covering Li Xuewu's mouth and struggling to prevent him from speaking.

"What are you doing?"

"It's okay, I urge you to hurry up~"

Silly Zhu pulled Li Xuewu's head hard. After Yu Yu's words came back, and when he saw the girl turning her head and muttering "I'm sick," he released his hand covering Li Xuewu.

"You want to kill me, you!"

"You want to kill me, you!"

After Si Zhu said this, Li Xuewu also said something, gasped hard, glared at Si Zhu and said: "You save your life, if I had taken action just now, you would have saved the money for hospitalization today."

"Stop bragging!"

Silly Zhu was cruel, then poked Li Xuewu and said: "Don't ask, if you ask, you will be impatient and show your temper."

Seeing Yu Yu coming over with a teapot, Sha Zhu didn't dare to say anything more. He sat down and chirped with Li Xuewu, telling him not to cause trouble for him.

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him. Seeing Yu Yu pouring tea into his cup, he smiled and said thank you.

Yu Yu, who put down the teapot, thought for a while, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I'll let you take advantage. Don't call me sister in the future. Please call me sister."

"Okay big sister"

"you!"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was still teasing himself, Yu Yu couldn't help but glared, looked at Li Xuewu's clothes and said angrily: "Look, you are dressed like an old man and you call me eldest sister. You don't think so, but I don't think so!"

"Haha, I look like an old man?"

Li Xuewu looked at what he was wearing. When did Bai Jiahei look like an old man?

"Similar temperament!"

Yuyu tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then pointed at Li Xuewu with his finger. His threatening eyes were obvious, and he returned to the kitchen with a fierce look.

Li Xuewu turned to look at Shazhu, raised his eyebrows and said: "I know some teachers from sports schools, the ones who are particularly good at playing. I think they are particularly suitable for rain."

"What do you mean?!"

Silly Zhu was still thinking about what his sister said about letting Li Xuewu take advantage, but when he heard Li Xuewu say this, he was unwilling to do so now.

Silly Zhu looked at Li Xuewu speechlessly, then sighed helplessly and asked: "Do you have anything to do with the police investigation? The teacher is now... ahem, I think the police investigation is okay."

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and said with a grimace, "As you know, I'm at the branch."

Silly Zhu nodded and said, "I asked you just because I knew you were in the branch."

Li Xuewu put down his tea cup and looked at Shazhu and said, "It is precisely because I work in the branch that I understand the hard work of police investigations. Let's not cause trouble for them."

"..."

Silly Zhu was speechless. He thought Li Xuewu was in trouble for his sister, but he didn't expect that it was because of the police investigation.

Is your sister so unbearable?

Are you still in trouble with the police? ! ——

Dinner was eaten in the back room. It was almost seven o'clock when we came back, and Zhao Yafang didn't light a fire because of Delia's instructions.

It's hot and it's summer for her. It would be better if the room is cooler.

In the past, her mother-in-law would always use the South House pot and stove to cook. She went to sleep with her mother-in-law in her room, leaving the South House kang empty.

There are only a few women left in the house, and there is still room for them to sleep on the kang.

Ji Yuxiu had been sleeping in the east courtyard because of her schedule. Regardless of whether she came back or not, Liu Yin went to burn the kang every three or two days to avoid moisture.

This is the case with new houses. There is more moisture on the floor, kang surface, and walls.

Liu Yin didn't need to worry about the backyard. Yu Li would go there from time to time, and Li Xue would sometimes go there to work at night.

Liu Yin, Zhao Yafang and Li Xue are the only ones living at home. The three mothers have a clear division of labor. One goes to work, one takes care of the baby, and the other takes care of the housework.

At night, it was Liu Yin who prepared rings and small clothes for her grandchildren.

It was calculated that the eldest daughter-in-law should be born in the twelfth lunar month, and the second daughter-in-law should be born in the first lunar month. The difference between them is about three months.

It was precisely because Zhao Yafang and Gu Ning both had children that Li Xuewu asked his mother to go to the mountains to take a look while she was not busy, so that she could rest assured.

Otherwise, I would spend the whole day taking care of the house and not go up the mountain to see the father and son. They would be thinking about him after all.

In fact, when it comes to going to the mountains, Lao Biaozi goes to the mountains every week, but his mother is reluctant to leave home, and she can't let go of her eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family is on the mountain. When she went up the mountain, her in-laws asked her about it. After all, it was not a problem to leave her daughter-in-law alone at home.

After all, it's an old man's idea. If you put aside the young people of Li Xuewu and Zhao Yafang's generation, there is really nothing to argue with.

Don’t you have to worry about eating?

There are no days when the fire is allowed in the taizuo room. It is also about eating. The food in the taizuo room may not be as elaborate as at home, but how many exquisite meals can there be in this era.

Zhao Yafang also took advantage of Li Shu. Li Shu was not at home, so she ate more than half of the eggs Banggeng brought.

Li Xuewu didn't want to keep any for his family. Lao Biaozi also pulled eggs down from the mountain. Li Shu and Gu Ning had enough to eat.

Maybe Zhao Yafang is a little embarrassed. She doesn't eat enough eggs now to eat one egg a day.

After returning from dinner, Li Xue carried her bag to the backyard as usual, and Gu Ning and the old lady carried Li Shu and Zhao Yafang back home.

Just now, the topic of replenishing the health of Zhao Yafang and Gu Ning was mentioned at the dinner table. When she came back, the old lady told Zhao Yafang to pay attention to her eating habits.

After all, it is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, which has inheritance and theoretical support for health care, maintenance, and fetal care.

Gu Ning sat sideways on the kang, watching Li Shu wearing small cloth shoes and having fun on the kang. He said to Zhao Yafang who was sitting at the head of the kang: "I have eggs at home. He often brings them home. You are here." Tell mom to cook it and eat it."

Zhao Yafang smiled and said: "It's enough to eat. As much as you can eat, let mom pickle some and wait for the New Year."

"Farewell"

Gu Ning picked up Li Shu, who came over to chat with her, and replied: "There are people who celebrate the New Year. It is the children who are affected by your loss of body."

As she spoke, she helped Li Shu adjust her crooked crotchless pants, took her car and rolled it into the kang to play with the children.

The old lady smiled happily when she saw that the two sisters got along well with each other. She sat on the kang and looked after Li Shu while listening to their conversation.

Gu Ning talked less when she was at home. She basically talked to Li Xuewu, and only a few words to her every day.

When you come back here, you will catch up with things, or you will talk more when you have a topic to talk about. Otherwise, you will be like a stuffy gourd who only listens to what others say.

Zhao Yafang is an eloquent person. They have equal knowledge and status, and they can have a common topic when talking. Unlike her old lady, she only talks about things in the courtyard.

Gu Ning and Zhao Yafang didn't talk that much. They chatted wordlessly. They both went to college and had serious jobs and identities, but their family backgrounds and life concepts were different since they were young. Woolen cloth.

Now others don't think so, but Liu Yin thinks that Li Shun is right to choose the eldest son to take care of him in his old age. It has something to do with the eldest son's temperament and the family background of his wife's daughter-in-law.

Needless to say, I wouldn't choose the middle child even if I did. Although he has the best life and the best job, his temperament and personality are not what the old man says, nor is he calm and easy-going, so we can't live together.

Even though the second child is being filial now, he will listen to what you say, and whether you do it or not, it won’t be him. Are you angry or not?

The same goes for the second daughter-in-law. She is indeed a good wife, but she is not suitable for living together.

Aloofness is not a temper, but a character that has been cultivated over a long period of time. Gu Ning's life situation since he was a child is not directed at them.

But in their view, the second daughter-in-law is a standard child from a high-ranking cadre family in the city. Maybe the younger couple are both cadres and live smoothly together, but it is different with the old man.

Even the old ladies living there sometimes can't stand it, let alone several generations living under the same roof.

There are ideological differences in living habits, daily consumption, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This is true for the second child's family, and even more so for the third child's family. Ji Yuxiu grew up doted on by her parents and loved by her brother.

Maybe it was because he was young and easy to fool around with, but when he got older, not to mention Ji Yuxiu would be dissatisfied, even the third scholar wouldn't be able to stand their family's traditional concept of life.

As the external environment changes, the concepts and ideas of traditional families are also changing.

Young people are more likely to accept new ideas, new concepts, and new lives, while the counterpart is older people who are slower to accept, or more defensive.

Old people have experienced a lot, and they are prepared for the pitfalls of life and have a happy-go-lucky mind. Naturally, they don't have the concepts of advancement and risk-taking that young people do.

If the two conflict with each other, their lives will naturally be uncomfortable.

The reason why most people choose the eldest brother for retirement at this time is that by the time they get old, the eldest brother will basically be middle-aged and can already feel the crises and defenses they once felt.

It is easier to communicate and understand. Liu Yin said that the second reason why Li Shun chose the eldest son is that he has the eldest daughter-in-law.

Of the three daughters-in-law, two were high-ranking cadres, but only Zhao Yafang was born in a rural area. Although she had received higher education, she was still a rural person at heart and in life, and still had a rural mindset in life.

Diligence, thrift, honesty, filial piety and respect are all engraved in her bones. She also bears the responsibility of the eldest daughter-in-law, so she naturally treats the elderly more politely than the other two daughters-in-law.

The old lady came here like this, so she understood Liu Yin's thoughts very well, and her attitude towards Zhao Yafang was different from that of other grandsons-in-law.

There is respect for the eldest daughter-in-law, and there is also reliance on the future head of the family.

Family is a very warm place, but it also has a realistic side. Since it is determined that the eldest son will support the family in old age, then the eldest daughter-in-law will naturally be designated as the future person in charge of the Li family.

There is no need to fight or fight over this. It has the advantage of having the right to speak and the responsibility of being a family member.

Zhao Yafang has actually assumed part of the family's decision-making power now, and Liu Yin also intends to let go of the family affairs and let the eldest daughter-in-law take the decision.

In fact, this is what the eldest daughter-in-law should have after marrying her, but at that time, Zhao Yafang only wanted to go out and live alone without being involved by the old man.

After the marriage, I did not receive the account books and keys from my mother-in-law. I thought that my brother-in-law had also gone to college, my second brother-in-law was still serving as a soldier outside, and my parents-in-law were not very old, so I would wait.

What she was thinking was that if one of her second brother-in-law and brother-in-law planned to inherit the family business or offered to provide for her parents-in-law in their old age, she and Li Xuewen would move out.

Even if I live in a dormitory on campus, I don’t want to be crowded at home.

But who could have imagined that the plan did not change quickly. The original expectation was that the home would be very crowded, so crowded that it would be difficult to walk around the door. But in less than half a year, there were four or five places in their home in this courtyard. real estate.

Let's live here now, I can't even live here anymore. My second brother-in-law even moved out after getting married, leaving three properties in this courtyard empty.

Things are getting better now. Going around and around, there are not enough people living in the house to fit into one kang bed in one room.

She and Li Xuewen still had an empty apartment assigned to them at school, and they couldn't live there now. The housing problem they were worried about before has now become a burden.

The change of environment naturally determines the change of concept. Zhao Yafang gradually no longer resisted and declined the matter of providing for the elderly and being the head of the family. She accepted the keys and account books given by her mother-in-law, and she officially became a housekeeper's wife.

Speaking of which, this is just a traditional custom and ritual. Li Xuewu doesn't know how much money the Li family has and how much mobile assets they have.

Don't ask, their family doesn't have the kind of jade bracelets handed down from the Lou family, let alone gold and silver antiques, just daily wages and receipts.

It is necessary to have an account book. Regardless of whether the family is big or small, poor or rich, with many people or with few people, basically every family in the capital has an account book.

The amount of salary received this month, the amount of profit last month, the amount of arrears, and the daily expenses this month will all be recorded in this book for reflection and verification.

Buying a pen, ordering a magazine, repairing shoes, or buying groceries all have to be registered, and every payment goes in. People's lives are all recorded in the ledger.

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law is in charge of accounts and money. If she says she can buy this, she can buy that. If she says the living expenses for this month are not enough and she can't buy it, then she can't buy it.

The man and the rest of the family only have to make money and make demands. As for spending money and buying things, they have to go through the hands of the housekeeper and his daughter-in-law.

In the early days, this authority was also given to the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper who had just moved in. She continued to manage her daughter until she was thirteen or fourteen years old. When she became sensible, she had to teach her how to be a housekeeper.

Regardless of whether the daughter leaves the palace or not, as soon as the eldest daughter-in-law comes in, the keys and account books of the money bank must be handed over from the mother-in-law to the new daughter-in-law.

There is no time to relax, usually on the second day of the wedding when the new daughter-in-law kowtows to her parents-in-law, serves tea, and receives the keys and account books.

Normally, a new daughter-in-law has learned housekeeping experience from her mother at home for several years, so she won't be frightened or numb.

This is why people in the early days paid attention to people who were well-matched. It was difficult for a girl without a mother to find someone from her husband's family, because she was said to be uneducated.

Of course, this upbringing does not only refer to quality and character, but also includes the ability to manage life and family chores.

In this era, the traditions of the older generation have been preserved. Every family is not living in affluence, and living frugally and frugally is the main theme of all families.

There is an account in the box, and no one feels at a loss, and everyone, old and young, also has a score in their hearts.

The Li family is naturally good, everyone is doing something good, everyone can make money, there is a lot of money in the box, and there are few calculations.

When the eldest daughter-in-law got married and did not receive the ledger, she collected her own wages. It was not until this year that she received the keys and ledger from her mother-in-law that she and Li Xuewen's wages were transferred to the public ledger.

Needless to say, Li Shun's salary has always been the backbone of the family and he has always supported the family. He is the most selfless person and the person with the highest say in the family.

The traditional family formed a strange power structure during this period. On major matters, it became a situation where the father-in-law and the principal's daughter-in-law discussed the matter.

The father-in-law handles affairs, has a big picture view, and has life experience, while the daughter-in-law controls the money, can manage small things, and is diligent and thrifty in running the house. This structure balances the voice of the previous generation and the next generation.

The father-in-law can beat and scold his son, but he cannot beat and scold his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law can quarrel with her mother-in-law, but she cannot openly curse her father-in-law.

The two of them respect each other, so this matter is easier to discuss and make a decision.

Otherwise, traditional things are not necessarily bad. Sometimes there is some truth in them.

In the Li family, except for Li Xuecai, who is not working to earn wages, only Liu Yin and the old lady are not making money.

But Liu Yin has to do housework, and the old lady has to take care of her children and grandchildren. They all have responsibilities that they should do at their respective ages.

There should have been a share of Li Xue's salary in the money box, but after Zhao Yafang got married, her mother-in-law allowed her to manage her own salary. How could she ask for living expenses from her sister-in-law now?

Without waiting for her mother-in-law to speak, Zhao Yafang told her mother-in-law as early as after Li Xue went to work that her sister-in-law would have to find her husband's family in the future. The dowry due from her parents-in-law would not be counted. The dowry given by her brother and sister-in-law would not be counted. She would collect her own salary by herself. It is considered as a way to protect one's own money.

Ordinary people don't calculate their own money this way. Girls have to pay living expenses to their families when they go to work. It's the same as boys. They pay for every meal they eat.

After paying the living expenses, the girl decides whether she wants to give her parents some pension money, or what is called filial piety money, and the rest is called self-care money.

It seems that the Li family wants girls to eat and use the family's food, without having to pay for living expenses, and to receive all the wages themselves. That is really rare.

Xu is a powerful mother-in-law, who can do this because she can hold on to the money box and ledger without letting go.

But the result of this is that the daughter-in-law and son are alienated from each other, the son also complains, and the whole family can no longer live in harmony.

In fact, Zhao Yafang thought more about it. She got along well with her sister-in-law. Even with the age difference, it was true that they were sisters.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are really good to her family, they send rice and noodles, and the in-laws get along really well. If she loses her heart, she will get a big slap from her father.

Another thing is that it is very easy for my father-in-law to earn a salary to support the family now. Although he still has a brother-in-law, he is not a loser. He will have a good job and a good life in the future and will not be a burden to her.

Things are going well now, and the future will be full of help and guidance.

In the past, she felt that she and Xuewen had good jobs and made a lot of money, so it would be absolutely comfortable to live a small life without them.

But after experiencing the trouble with the second brother Xuewu, the second brother-in-law bought a bicycle for the ticket and tried to find a house for them.

If something happened to Li Xuewen, he would have to ask his second brother-in-law to come forward and pick him up.

How could she not ask what happened that day? Li Xuewen told him that the second brother-in-law, with a gun in his hand, rescued him from a group of people. One of them was lying at the door. When he got to the gate, he chased and beat another one.

Zhao Yafang sounded worried, but she also felt at ease. She asked about the experiences of her colleagues in the school. She was grateful to have such a pillar of the family who dared to take risks for her brothers.

Comparing her feelings with others, the slap from her father was not in vain, it completely woke her up.

Her younger brother was working under her second brother-in-law. After six months of progress, she saw that her lively energy was back. She also had her own reasons for this.

My sister-in-law can eat a few meals at home, and her second brother-in-law buys clothes for her. She can use a few feet of cloth at home, and she doesn't even think about spending more money on the family.

The father-in-law can still make money, the mother-in-law can still take care of the family, and the old lady can still take care of the children. How can she do such stupid things?

Offering to take care of her sister-in-law and not receiving any income from Li Xue's work not only made her mother-in-law love and care for her daughter, but also made her family aware of her generosity.

Even if Li Xue was charged ten or twenty yuan for living expenses, no matter how much more she could put in her box, it would still not be worth the value of the things her second brother-in-law brought home.

The eggs sent from the backyard were not money, and they were not public chickens. They were raised by the second brother-in-law who separated the family before they got married, and the eggs were laid for Li Shu to eat.

Now Li Shu has taken her home to raise her, and her second brother-in-law is a capable person, so there is no need to worry about eggs. She is pregnant again, so her mother-in-law cooked it for her.

But while eating the egg, she had to think about it, was Li Shu really not going to eat it? The second brother-in-law told his sister-in-law Gu Ning that the eggs were for her to replenish her health, while Li Shu's eggs were eaten separately.

Everyone in this family makes money and is motivated, one person is actively contributing, and two people are thinking about the family. The old man is impartial, and there is no one in this family who is a troublemaker. Everything is going well for the family.

There is no need to argue or compare, no one's family is doing badly. It is normal for parents-in-law to care about the children who have been separated, and it is also appropriate to greet the children who are still young. She is not at a disadvantage now, and these brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law can still be together in the future. Let her lose money?

This time when I went up the mountain, it was said that the third daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law were going to see their father-in-law and the third child, and Kazuya wanted to bring a gift to her parents' family.

They considered each other, and sometimes her mother-in-law was a bit more powerful, but she always thought about them. Zhao Yafang stayed at home for a long time, and she thought more.

Sitting on the kang, watching the old lady smile, he also smiled and teased the naughty Li Shu.

Li Shu is happy today. She is happy all the way back, happy to eat, and happy to play in the evening.

Even the little ones know the taste of longing, and they know that they miss their loved ones in their stomachs.

——

After eating in the dining room, Li Xuewu and others made room for the boys. Everyone was waiting to use the big dining table to study.

Maybe it's because the atmosphere here is good, or maybe it's because he's a good teacher, but He Yuyu is also used to reading in the east room at night.

Sometimes when the boys had something they didn't understand, they would ask Yuyu for advice. She actually got used to being a teacher.

In fact, it is Zhao Yafang who preaches the most and is the most knowledgeable. Because she is free at home, sometimes she comes here to sit for a while after dinner, mainly talking to Yu Li and Delia.

It's really boring. There are only so many people in this courtyard. Ever since the "banggeng explosion" happened in the front courtyard, no one came to sit here because the third uncle pretended to be crazy. They all went to the middle courtyard.

The Li family was also happy to be quiet. Zhao Yafang mostly came here to sit and chat, explaining knowledge to the boys.

Teachers all have some habits and addictions. If someone is eager to learn, she will take the initiative to ask, and she will also be interested in teaching.

The boys were taught by Yu Yu every day, and Zhao Yafang taught them from time to time, so their knowledge improved very quickly.

Li Xuewu and the others set up a Kang table in the west room, Yu Li prepared tea, and each held a cup and held a small meeting here.

Lao Biaozi was not there. The second master said that he had not seen this guy since the afternoon, and the car did not move, so he did not go up the mountain.

According to Li Xuewu, the big-breasted brother said that he would do it as soon as possible, so tonight he would either investigate or take action.

Since everything was left to him, Li Xuewu didn't worry and just waited for the news at home.

Everyone in the room except Lao Biaozi was there. Li Xuewu rarely had time, so he was ready to listen carefully to how to work in the next stage.

At the recycling bin, grandpa is still in charge of the furniture and accounts, second master is in charge of the counter and antiques, and Guodong is in charge of all junk business, including delivery to the scrap company.

The second child is also training to learn business-to-business transactions from Lao Biaozi. The main reason is that a large number of stable customers are gradually developing. Supplying these families is enough to cover all the expenses of the recycling station, so he cannot let go.

Another thing is that part of the business-to-business business can be spared to supply these customers. Now the VIP business products are much richer than before.

As the wind gets stronger and stronger, the market becomes more and more tense. It is no longer convenient for Lao Biaozi to inquire about the pigeon market. From time to time, people come to find out the inside story, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, the VIP customer base is growing steadily. Er Hao'er is busy with these things every day. At the same time, he also gives Lao Biaozi a shortcut and gets in touch with the business there.

The sales department still has the original layout. Xiaoyan and Erye stand at the counter, responsible for recycling and selling second-hand goods.

Yu Li, Delia and Wang Yamei are in charge of the business of the thrift store, while also supporting Xiaoyan and Er Ye.

When arranging three people, I still want to have more manpower and have time to rest. This is also because there are many things at the recycling station, and logistics cannot be guaranteed without a small number of people.

Someone has to go back and cook three meals a day, and someone has to clean up the house and tidy up the yard.

These are the only people sitting in the room now. Wang Yamei is not here. Yu Li said she was taking a day off to rest today. Silly Zhu also laughed and joked about whether the two of them had gone out to have sex, which earned Delia a glare.

Those who are at home are these people, and those who are not at home are from several directions. Third uncle Wen Saner is in Steel City with his wife and children, and he also has the top three of the Thirteen Taibao at hand.

The little bastard Zhou Changli led two groups of about a hundred people to work there, while Zhang Wanhe, who came down from the mountain, led Da Qiangzi and more than 40 people to work in the steel city.

Xilin, Ge Lin, and Ding Wanqiu were in Jicheng, running a small buying station connecting China Unicom Mountain and Steel City. It was inconspicuous, but very important.

Finally, there is the No. 1 Prison, which is the production base of the recycling station. Papermaking, printing, engraving, tailoring, leather, electronics, and the newly developed Xicheng No. 3 Prison provide carpentry and printing services.

Brother Xuewen is in charge of electronic teaching and training there, and Teacher Wu has agreed to take care of these businesses and supervise financial work there.

Next, my sister-in-law Zhao Yafang will also take care of the finance here, as well as the financial business of the First Prison, forming a complete closed loop for all the business.

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and sat at the kang table, listening to Shen Guodong reporting on the business and work of the recycling station with a notebook, as if setting up a guild in the workplace.

In fact, it's the same thing. Listening to Shen Guodong talk about how much junk he collected and sold this month, he analyzed the current market conditions, what are the environmental factors, how to judge the situation, how to avoid risks, and the focus of the next step. What is it.

These are all what Li Xuewu asked him to do, which can be regarded as laying a foundation for future development.

Shen Guodong didn't have any college education. Writing and arithmetic were no problem, and he was more than capable of managing the waste collection business.

But that's all he pursued. He just wanted to be rich and content, as long as he had food to eat and a full stomach.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, dealt with him twice, telling him to withdraw his shares if he didn't want to do it. He also cleaned up his house and found him a job so that he could live a stable life with Xiaoyan.

Not to mention, when Li Xuewu dealt with him like this, he really wanted to do it, but when he went back and mentioned it to Xiaoyan, Xiaoyaner refused to do it.

I can't make as much money as I do now, and it's not as fulfilling and comfortable as I am now. I work for a company, with leaders watching over me and colleagues below me jostling around. Who knows how I'll live.

Following Brother Wu in her career, apart from anything else, she didn't lose money to them. In the sales department, it was just like at home. She was in a good mood and earned more money. She didn't want to suffer outsiders.

Seeing that he didn't have an ideal look, Xiaoyan also said that she didn't expect to be as grand as Brother Wu when they got married, but there had to be someone in the family who could lead the way.

This put Shen Guodong in a dilemma. He wanted to prepare a box of firecrackers for Xiaoyan, but he was afraid that Xiaoyan wouldn't let him go home.

What is a loudspeaker? It’s a car. It can’t be a broken bicycle, the kind that makes a karaka sound.

At this time, no one dares to think that their family can buy a car when they get married, even the cadre family. He knew that Xiaoyan was making things difficult for him.

But Xiaoyan said, you don’t dare to think about it, but Brother Wu has done it. There used to be cars in the recycling bin?

Now there is not only a GAZ 69 minivan, but also a big truck. Brother Wu also has a Willys at home.

Shen Guodong wanted to say that he couldn't compete with Brother Wu, but after asking Brother Wu, he found that the Willis Steel Rolling Mill was also for sale. The cost of one unit was less than a thousand yuan. He could buy it after saving for a few years.

Xiao Yan'er is still young, and it will take three or four years before she gets married, so this is really not a problem.

Dividends?

No, Brother Wu said, don’t think about dividends in the short term. You still have to invest in the future. There is no shortage of money for the time being, just get enough salary to live on.

So now he can only live on his salary. Fortunately, he has a big house. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of here. He can just go to work.

With his ideal life, he also has a career to pursue. He no longer dares to mention to Brother Wu about finding a class to wait for retirement.

As he became more motivated, he became more focused on business management and took over all the shabby businesses, which made it much easier for Lao Biaozi.

Especially now that the boys are learning to drive, there are more drivers in the courtyard, making it much easier to use the cars.

After Shen Guodong finished his report, his grandfather began to report. He also used a notebook and talked about the recycling and sales of furniture. The recent focus of work is still on the furniture production of Xicheng No. 3 Prison.

Wooden brackets and glass flowers are the best-selling coffee tables and are also the most popular items for newlywed families.

There are no imitations on the market yet, but the recycling bins are making a lot of money.

Li Xuewu listened to his grandfather saying that a large number of old furniture had been cleared away, so he interrupted and asked: "Have you disposed of all the ones that third uncle collected?"

"about there"

Grandpa put on his reading glasses, looked through the account book, raised his head and said to Li Xuewu: "Many of them were sent away by Biaozi, and the rest were all simple in style. They were modified and sold."

Li Xuewu knew that those things Lao Biaozi sent away were given to the club, and the club also transferred money there, so there was no bad debt.

Naturally, it is difficult to use those gorgeous furniture outside, but the club is not in danger. The world inside the gate is a collective unit after all. As long as people are fine, then everything is fine.

The regular employees in the club are all reliable, while the temporary employees have no say. The identities of the members are all tied together, so who dares to say that something will happen there.

"Have all the goods you got at the beginning of the year been processed?"

Li Xuewu looked at Mr. Ye. He was asking about the commodities seized during the crackdown on theft at the beginning of the year. The scattered items amounted to twenty to thirty thousand yuan.

Ye Erye nodded without looking at the account book: "There are some bits and pieces left. Biaozi said they were put in the acquisition account. Last month, he settled the accounts with the street and also went to the street to do it." prove".

As he spoke, Mr. Ye opened his notebook again and introduced: "Some things are miscellaneous. They are needed when used and cannot be sold when not used. It will take several years to pay off."

“No problem”

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's good to settle the matter, so you don't have to worry about it. If you collect things from the street or the warehouse of the Siyuan, you must pay in cash. Don't embarrass others."

The second master glanced at his grandpa and saw him nodding to indicate that he had nothing to introduce, so he started reporting on the sales department's business with his notebook.

The main thing is radios. Second-hand items of this kind are very scarce and very popular. People who are getting married or separated want to get this thing as a decoration.

Just because it's second-hand doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. It was manipulated by Li Xuewen from the No. 1 Prison, so it can be used for a long time.

Because there are fewer second-hand parts, and with the support of Jinmen Electronics Factory, we can buy new original parts, which naturally saves us from picking up old ones.

Like Wen San'er, he used the old ones to deal with them and stopped doing business with the intention of earning more money for repairs. He didn't have the manpower and didn't have the energy.

In addition to talking about what happened on the counter, the second master also talked about the situation of old book paper and fiber materials among the waste products being sent to the First Prison to make paper, and also talked about the current sales situation of books.

Surprisingly, the Little People's Book sells as well as the Red Book. The Red Book is mostly bought by young people and working people, while the Little People's Book is mostly bought by children.

The main reason is that the batch of short-form novels produced by No. 1 Prison and Huaqing Painting Academy are of high quality, the content is well edited, and the stories are interesting and educational.

The supply and marketing cooperatives are very tough and no one checks their goods, let alone the security brigade.

Because the sales department here bears the sign of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it is quite safe.

During this period, it was rare for cultural items, especially written books, to sell well.

The main reason, Li Xuewu thought about it, was related to the main idea of ​​​​the villain's book, because all the stories and the characters in the propaganda first advertised that the core idea was upward.

Secondly, the core values ​​​​in the villain's book are all positive, professional and popular, which is in line with the current publicity needs.

What’s more, these sites sell little books and red books at the same time.

Not only these, but also red leather notebooks, pens, erasers, pencils and other stationery with slogans printed on them.

For example, the store at the Public Security Brigade also includes "cultural shirts", single-color vests or T-shirts with quotes and slogans printed on them.

In the end, Director Ma took care of him and the supply and marketing cooperative endorsed him. At this time, no one really came to trouble him.

It is also effective for Lao Biaozi to go to Director Ma's house for dinner every month. At least Li Xuewu can see that the recycling station is very stable.
