Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

Zhou Jianjun had already made up his mind whether to rely on Director Li or Director Yang.

Before the reform and opening up, if he wanted to stay in the factory comfortably, he would definitely choose to cling to Director Li's thighs. Although this person has many problems and is not a good person, at least he is quite good to his subordinates.

It was a bit unkind for him to throw all his subordinates out to take the blame in order to escape unscathed after the storm.

But would Zhou Jianjun, who knew how things were going, be afraid of this?

Of course not.

As for not choosing Director Yang, the reason is also very simple.

Zhou Jianjun just wanted to get by comfortably until the reform and opening up. Before that, he only needed to use the position of a buyer to accumulate wealth by using the Peach Blossom Land. It didn't make much difference whether he relied on Director Yang or not.

The Purchasing Department belongs to the Logistics Department, and Director Li is his immediate superior.

Under Director Li's instruction, the Personnel Department quickly handled Zhou Jianjun's procedures, and a clerk took Zhou Jianjun to the Purchasing Department.

"Chief Sun, this is the new buyer who just came today. Please arrange the work for him." The clerk said to the head of the purchasing department.

"Okay, please trouble Comrade Li."

After the chief said that, he looked at Zhou Jianjun's information.

After reading the information at a glance, he said: "My name is Sun Bayi, the head of the purchasing department, and you will work under me in the future. We are all colleagues, don't be so restrained."

"Thank you, Director Sun, I will trouble you in the future." Zhou Jianjun replied.

After thinking for a while, Director Sun said: "How about this, the third section of the purchasing department is still short of a buyer, you go to the third section to work first."

After Director Sun said that, he led Zhou Jianjun to the third section of the purchasing department, "This is Liu Hu, the head of the third section, you will be under his command in the future."

After getting familiar with the staff of the third section for a while, Zhou Jianjun left the steel rolling mill. He will start working officially tomorrow.

Today he plans to go back to buy some daily necessities, after all, his family lacks everything.

After working all morning, Zhou Jianjun found a place to have lunch. He spent 1.2 yuan and 3 taels of silver for lunch, which really broke his heart.

After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon, Zhou Jianjun began his crazy shopping journey.

"Comrade, please help me get this, and that, and that too."

Zhou Jianjun wanted too much, which annoyed the salesperson. At this time, the salesperson did not have the service awareness that customers are God. It was good enough if they did not beat you.

Didn't you see the slogans on the wall: No beating or scolding of customers!

After spending 20 cents to find a cart, Zhou Jianjun returned to the courtyard under the strange gaze of passers-by.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard the voices of the three aunts.

"Jianjun is back, why did you buy so many things?"

Zhou Jianjun replied with a smile: "Hello, Auntie, I don't have anything at home. I'll buy everything today while I'm free to save trouble in the future."

"Okay, okay!" Auntie said, and shouted to the house: "Jiecheng, help your brother Jianjun move, there are so many things."

Yan Jiecheng in the house heard his mother's shouting and hurried out to move things with Zhou Jianjun.

When the cart reached the backyard, Liu Guangqi also came out of the house to help. He heard Liu Haizhong say last night that he planned to ask Zhou Jianjun for a job, and now he is helping without any effort.

After moving the things, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng both wanted to talk to Zhou Jianjun about the job, but because both of them refused to leave, no one dared to speak. After all, if the other party heard it, it would be bad.

Seeing that the two were reluctant to leave, Zhou Jianguo said to them, "Do you two have nothing to do this afternoon? Help me bring back a cart of coal briquettes. How about I give you 30 cents each as a fee for running errands?"

When the two heard this, they were so happy that they nodded and agreed.

It was not until the evening that the two finally brought back a cart of coal briquettes. After stacking the coal briquettes neatly in front of Zhou Jianjun's house, they rubbed their hands and looked at Zhou Jianjun and laughed.

Zhou Jianjun didn't waste any words and took out the money, 30 cents each. After receiving the money, the two young men were so happy that they were snotty.

"I'll go buy some vegetables, and you two can have a drink at my place in the evening." Zhou Jianjun said, and then walked out of the yard.

When the two heard that there would be wine to drink in the evening, they were even happier. They stuffed the money into their pockets and ran home to report the good news.

When the horn sounded at night, the residents in the yard came back one after another.

At this time, Zhou Jianjun also came back from buying vegetables. When he walked into the yard carrying an old hen and two pounds of pork belly, everyone's eyes were focused on the things in his hands.

Yan Fugui's eyes almost popped out, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "Jianjun, you eat so many good things right after you start cooking!"

Zhou JianjunHe raised the things in his hand and said, "Please help Jiecheng and Guangqi to work for me all afternoon. Give them something good to reward them."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Yan Fugui who was full of desire and went straight to the backyard.

After Zhou Jianguo left, Yan Fugui muttered, "This kid, he didn't even mention to treat the third uncle to a meal."

Then he thought of something and hurried home and said to Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, you eat more at Jianjun's place tonight, so you don't have to eat tomorrow morning."

When Zhou Jianjun walked to the middle yard, he happened to meet Sha Zhu who was coming back from get off work.

"Brother Zhuzi, call Yushui and have dinner at my place." Zhou Jianjun said, shaking the food in his hand in front of Shazhu, "Everyone says that brother Zhuzi has good cooking skills. Let me taste your cooking skills today."

Shazhu patted his chest and said, "Needless to say, our cooking skills are unique in the whole city, just wait and see!"

Shazhu's cooking skills are indeed impeccable. The aroma has already filled the whole yard before the dishes are cooked.

At this time, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, and He Yushui were all sitting at the table waiting.

Jia's family in the middle courtyard.

The four members of the Jia family couldn't help drooling at the aroma in the air.

Jia Zhang directly cursed: "Damn you little bastard, not only did you rob my house, but you didn't even bring me meat. This little bastard will never find a wife and will be single for the rest of his life."

Qin Huairu hadn't become a white lotus yet. After listening to Jia Zhang's words, she silently thought to herself, "Why should I give you other people's things? You're so shameless."

Although she was complaining in her heart, Qin Huairu didn't dare to show any expression on her face. She just lowered her head and ate the steamed bread in her hand.

Jia Dongxu also said with an indignant look on his face: "Damn Zhou Jianjun, he invited the kids from the Liu and Yan families to dinner, but didn't invite me. He didn't take me seriously at all."

Bang Geng also shouted in agreement: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang heard this and slapped Qin Huairu in the face, scolding her: "Didn't you hear that my eldest grandson wanted to eat meat? Hurry up and get some for me."

Jia Zhang said, and then took out a large bowl and handed it to Qin Huairu, and then scolded: "Hurry up, you little horse fork worm!"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu timidly, and when she found that he didn't say anything, she took the bowl and walked to the backyard.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Jianjun, who was about to eat, got up and walked towards the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, your sister Qin, can you please open the door?" Qin Huairu replied.

Zhou Jianjun opened the door, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, what can I do for you?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said pitifully, "Jianjun, Banggeng smelled the meat and insisted on eating it. The child is still young and growing, can you lend me some meat?"

When Zhou Jianjun opened the door, he had already guessed Qin Huairu's intention and had thought of an excuse.

He hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Jia, I'm afraid it won't work today. Jiecheng and Guangqi have been busy for me all afternoon, and I promised to treat them to dinner."

"The meat and vegetables I bought are just the right amount. I have to send some to the deaf old lady later. This way, we won't have enough for a few of us."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still pestering, Zhou Jianjun hurriedly said to Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu, you serve a bowl of pork belly and chicken soup, I'll send it to the old lady."

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi heard Zhou Jianjun's words, fearing that the meat and vegetables would be divided up, and hurriedly said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, we helped Brother Jianjun work all afternoon today to get this meal. You should go back quickly, we still don't have enough to eat!"

At this time, Qin Huairu had not yet cultivated to the point of "shameless people are invincible in the world". Being secretly mocked by several young men, she hurriedly lowered her head and ran back with a red face.

Zhou Jianjun picked up the pork belly and chicken soup that Sha Zhu had served and said, "I'll take them to the deaf old lady first. Wait for me for a while."
