Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

After dinner, Cao Zhiqiang sat on the chair like an old man, listening to the sweet music played on the tape recorder, and drinking jasmine tea with sugar added by Qiao Simei.

By the way, this jasmine tea is the good tea sent by Qin Huairu before. It is said that it is drunk by the leaders of the ministries and commissions. If you don't drink it, you will not drink it.

As for clearing the table and washing dishes, it is the responsibility of sisters Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

In fact, it was the same before. Cao Zhiqiang basically did the cooking, and Cao Lili cleaned the table and washed the dishes. But after Qiao Simei came, Qiao Simei also had to wash the dishes and clean the room.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang never does things like washing dishes and cleaning the room, except when he feels like it.

Neither Cao Lili nor Qiao Simei had any objections to this, and they never said there was anything wrong with what Cao Zhiqiang did.

Not to mention this family, even other neighbors and the like knew about this and didn't think it was a big deal.

Because in this era, the mainstream thinking is that the big men make money to support the family, and it is women's business to take care of the housework.

This is very good, at least in Cao Zhiqiang's view, this is very good.

While Cao Zhiqiang was drinking tea and Cao Lili and Qiao Simei were clearing the table, He Yuzhu suddenly came to visit carrying two lunch boxes.

This is the meal delivery as usual.

Seeing that everyone had started to clear the table, obviously after finishing their meal, and Cao Zhiqiang was also there, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, but he just smiled and nodded without saying much, then hurriedly put down the lunch box and said "This is today"

dinner, then turned around and left.

Obviously, he wasn't like this in the past.

The reason why he came and left in a hurry this time was because he felt uncomfortable with Cao Zhiqiang's presence.

Cao Zhiqiang, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and chased after him. He stopped He Yuzhu and said, "Uncle He, don't leave yet. I want to tell you something."

He Yuzhu stopped, frowned and looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said: "Okay, I know what you are going to say, but now is not the time. You have to let me finish the awesome things, and you have finished the things.

Shouldn’t we go to the leaders of the National People’s Congress? It’s not appropriate to go at this time!”

Cao Zhiqiang laughed and shook his head: "You misunderstood, that's not what I was talking about."

"What's that?" He Yuzhu frowned, as if he didn't want to talk to Cao Zhiqiang anymore.

"Aren't you the canteen director of the steel rolling mill?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I want to buy some pork and eggs from you."

"Buy pork and eggs with me?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang continued with a smile: "That's right. The people at the police station have helped me so much. I want to express my gratitude to them, so I plan to give each of them ten kilograms of pork and ten kilograms of eggs. By the way, they are fifty people."

He Yuzhu frowned and said: "Oh, this is five hundred catties of pork and five hundred catties of eggs, what a big deal!"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I was still thinking about where to go to purchase, and suddenly I remembered that you are the director of the canteen and are also responsible for purchasing, so I asked you to do it.

By the way, I don’t have meat tickets, I only give money, and you have to divide it up for me, divide it into fifty portions, each portion is ten pounds of pork and ten pounds of eggs, is that okay?"

He Yuzhu frowned again: "Why are you looking for me? Doesn't your Hongguang Machinery Factory also have a canteen?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Yes, but I am not familiar with the director of our canteen. I am not very familiar with you, don't you think so?"

He Yuzhu sighed: "You have convinced me."

"It depends on what you say." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I've decided how unpleasant it will be for you. I'm the one paying you. You have the final say on how much it will cost. Just don't be too outrageous."

"Did you say this?" He Yuzhu said, "I have the final say on how much it will cost?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "Who are you? How can I not believe you? Besides, we will become partners in the future. You can't cheat anyone but you can't cheat me either."

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said: "Then the price I want is more expensive than the market price. After all, you have to sort people into groups. Each person is divided into ten kilograms. If you sort it, you have to pay for labor, right?"

"No problem." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "It's normal for new people, new things, and a new country to make people work, so it's normal to ask for labor fees."

"Do you really agree?" He Yuzhu asked again.

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Okay, Uncle He, am I just someone who cares about those three melons and two jujubes? Just do what you want, don't be too outrageous."

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "That's what I said. I forgot that you are a rich man. Okay, let's do it. You wait for the letter. I promise to get it done for you within three days."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Then I'll wait for your news."

Seeing He Yuzhu putting his hands behind his back to leave, Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Uncle He, wait a minute!"

"Huh?" He Yuzhu stopped and turned around, "Is there anything else? You won't regret it, right?"

"How can I do that? Wait a moment!"

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang hurried back to the house.

Immediately afterwards, he went back to his room, closed the door, took out the bag of banknotes he got from the police station from his pocket, took out a thousand yuan, pretended to dawdle for a while, and then used a bag of scrap newspapers.

, and went out again.

When he came to He Yuzhu, Cao Zhiqiang put the money into his hand and said: "Well, Uncle He, this is the money to buy meat and eggs, one thousand yuan. You can take it first. If it is not enough, you can ask for it from me."

"Ah?" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we are a big factory and have signed contracts with the communes below. Once the settlement is settled in three months, I can let them supply the goods first and calculate the money later.

You can pay me later."

"That's not possible." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Uncle He, your contract is from the factory. I am getting extra money. It is better to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. This way you will not have any trouble, the farmer brothers will be happy, and I will save money."

Everything is happy, so why not?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "If it's cash, it's better to buy in bulk, it'll be a lot cheaper, and I can ask them to sort it in advance, which is cheaper than the market, and it won't cost more than a thousand yuan."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "You'd better take it. Anyway, if you really don't use so much, the remaining price difference will be considered your hard work, but one thing is that the quality and quantity of meat and eggs must be maintained. There can't be any problems, okay?"

?”

He Yuzhu then took the money and took the money into his arms with a smile on his face: "It's done, it's done, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it myself and pick the goods myself, and I'll make sure there's nothing wrong with it."

After a pause, He Yuzhu said: "This is a cash settlement. If the commune below knew that it was a cash settlement, it would be extremely happy. They will definitely give the best and don't dare to mess around."

"That's the best." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's attitude, He Yuzhu suddenly sighed: "Oh, Xiao Cao, actually you are a pretty good person, really.

Look at you, if you are talented, things will come of you, but sometimes you just love to be clever. If you can live a down-to-earth life, how can this happen?

Forget it, no more talking, see you later."

After saying this, He Yuzhu put his hands behind his back and left briskly. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Isn't that right? I just made a business deal with Cao Zhiqiang. He only needs to be a second-tier dealer in the middle to make a profit. How can he not be happy?

As for Jia Gen's matter.

Haha, if it weren't for Qin Huairu, who would he know Jia Geng.

Even if he beat BangGeng first and then introduced the job to JiaGeng, it was because of Qin Huairu's face, to gain face for Qin Huairu, and to make BangGeng submissive to Qin Huairu, rather than really trying to make BangGeng submissive.

Own.

To put it bluntly, even though Shazhu always said that Bangge was a good boy to others, in fact he didn't believe it at all and never really expected him to support him in his old age.

Otherwise, why would Shazhu work so hard to make a small treasury?

Isn't it just in case?

All in all, Si Zhu is not stupid at all.

It's just that sometimes, he can't help himself.

Besides, I guess he is also a person who cares about appearance just like me.

If this is the case, then to be honest, Qin Huairu's appearance is really good among people of the same age.

At least in this courtyard, Qin Huairu's appearance is definitely No. 1 among her peers. Even Yu Li and Qin Jingru, who are praised by everyone, are actually not as good as her in terms of real appearance.

In addition, there is a saying that Shazhu and Qin Huairu have experienced so many ups and downs together and have so many common memories. It is impossible to say that they have no feelings.

Therefore, Qin Huairu is He Yuzhu's heartache, and He Yuzhu is Qin Huairu's licking dog.

Even if it was Lou Xiao'e, if He Yuzhu didn't have his biological son, it is estimated that He Yuzhu would not even waver in the future.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at He Yuzhu's leaving figure again, touched his chin, smiled slightly, and turned back.

But at this moment, an aunt in her forties or fifties suddenly blocked his way.

Cao Zhiqiang was startled and realized that this was his neighbor, Aunt Liu, who also lived in the main room of the north house in the west cross courtyard.

"Liu, Aunt Liu?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Are you okay?"

Aunt Liu had a smile on her face, then subconsciously looked around, and then said: "Zhiqiang, I have something to do. How about you go back to my room and sit down, let's have a cup of tea and talk slowly?"

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and then smiled: "Okay, let's go and sit."
