The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

After Yan Jiecheng heard what Xiao Ziwan said, he rolled his eyes at her angrily and didn't bother to talk to her.

He wanted to buy this cloth and take it to the countryside to exchange for things. Sometimes when going to the countryside to buy things, the money is not very useful. After all, the farmers don't have tickets, so they don't have much use for the money.

"Can you buy more? If so, buy as many as you can? It's okay even if you buy them all."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice. He wanted to buy good cloth, but there were so many tickets. Although this cloth was defective, when making clothes, it could be used by sewing a few more threads on the corners. Their curtains

The tablecloths and quilt covers are all made of this kind of cloth, and they look good.

"You're crazy. There are not even a few defective products in our factory. Even if we dispose them at a low price, it will cost one or two thousand yuan. Why do you use so much cloth? Our family will not be able to use it up in a lifetime."

When Yu Li heard Yan Jiecheng ask her to buy all the defective cloth, she went crazy and immediately replied without listening to Yan Jiecheng's explanation.

"I didn't say it's for our household. This is for my cousin's village. People in his village don't have tickets to buy good cloth. The last time Weiguo came to our house, he saw that our curtains were made of second-hand cloth that didn't require tickets.

He thought it was good, so he asked me to help him pay attention to it."

When Yu Li heard that the cloth was not for her own use, she patted her heart with relief and said, "Oh, so it turns out that this is what happened. You didn't tell me earlier. I was shocked."

"Then you have to give me a chance to speak."

"Okay, I'll ask when I get to work on Monday. It shouldn't be a big problem. The employees in our factory don't like asking for it. I'll just ask them to give me the quota then. I can also earn a favor this way." Yu Li said happily.

.

After finishing talking about the cloth, they began to eat in peace.

After dinner, Yu Li asked her son Wan and his wife to clean up the tableware. The two children were not young anymore, so it was okay to help the family with whatever work they could.

So since two years ago, we have given them the tasks at home such as sweeping the floor, washing the dishes, and washing the dishes.

Of course, it's not voluntary labor. Yan Jiecheng made an agreement with the two of them that for doing these jobs, they can get thirty cents a day as pocket money, which is fifteen cents each for the two of them.

Now, except during the Chinese New Year, the couple doesn't give them any pocket money. If they want money, they have to work for it.

Yu Li strongly supports this approach. In this way, apart from cooking and washing clothes at home, they don't have to do anything else, but they are all taken over by the two money-obsessed children.

After dinner, Yan Jiecheng saw that it was still early, so he went to the study room to read for a while. This study room was renovated after Xiao Ziwan and his wife moved out.

It's the one next to the yard on the north side. This house has a large window, which allows sunlight to shine in during the day, which is much stronger than the one on the south side.

2k

There are three large bookshelves next to the wall in the room. There are thousands of books of all kinds on the bookshelves. There is a large desk next to the window. There are also several pots of flowers on the windowsill.

It was Yan Bugui who contributed because his family had many books, and Yan Bugui would come to Yan Jiecheng's house to read books when he had free time.

After all, with his stingy character, it was simply impossible for him to spend his own money to buy so many books.

Yan Jiecheng doesn't care about this matter. Anyway, everyone can read it, as long as the book is not damaged.

Yan Jiecheng didn't take it to heart even if the third aunt would say something about him as a prodigal when he met him. After all, for someone like the third aunt who didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, these books were not worth a penny.

Yan Jiecheng had no money to spend on these books, and he spent almost thousands of dollars on these books one after another. If outsiders found out about this, they would definitely be jealous.

Even Qin Huairu dotes on Banggan so much and is reluctant to buy him a few books. She just wants to be generous with food and clothing. This is the difference in thinking between people.

The typical small farmer consciousness is just like what some people say about the uselessness of reading.

Even if rural conditions improve in later generations, why the proportion of children who go to school and become talented is still so low. Most of it is an ideological problem. Even if the family is not short of money, they will not buy so many books for their children.

Just like One Hundred Thousand Whys, this popular science book was published by the state in the 1950s, but two thousand years later, many rural children have not read it.

Yan Jiecheng was reading and drinking tea while holding a tea cup. As he was watching, he heard Yan Jiefang calling him from the yard.

"Jie Cheng, Jiefang is calling you in the courtyard. Hurry out and see what's wrong with him." Yu Li walked into the study and said to Yan Jiecheng.

When Yan Jiecheng built this study room, she was somewhat opposed to it. The main reason was that she didn't understand why Yan Jiecheng bought so many books. She got a headache when she saw these books. Although she also graduated from junior high school, if she was allowed to read these books

After all, she felt that it would be impossible for her whole life.

In the end, Yan Jiecheng persuaded for a long time and even moved the child out, and then Yu Li agreed. After all, the old Yan family is also a scholarly family. How can it be done without some books to support the scene. Although this scholarly family is Yan Bugui's self-proclaimed family, but

It doesn’t affect everyone’s thinking.

Yan Jiecheng walked out of the book and looked at Yan Jiefang with a smile on his face:

"Why are you looking for me? Tell me if you have anything."

Yan Jiefang looked around, pulled Yan Jiecheng to the corner and said, "Good thing, great thing."

"What good thing? Did you pick up the money?"

"No, I don't dare to keep the money I picked up. What a good thing. I was talking about repairing electrical appliances. He came to see me in broad daylight after work today. He mentioned a big deal, but we couldn't handle it.

, I’m coming to find you right now.”

"What are you two still unable to fix?" Yan Jiecheng was a little confused. After all, they had been working together for more than a month. Generally, Yan Jiefang could repair common electrical appliances like radios by himself, so there was no need to come to him.

"TV, Beijing brand TV produced in Tianjin, 14-inch large TV." Yan Jiefang was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Yan Jiecheng frowned. He had never seen a TV set of this era. If someone suddenly went over to repair it, it would be fine if it was repaired. But if it was not repaired, he couldn't afford to pay for it.

This is not a matter of more money and less money, the main thing is that there are no tickets.

"You two should give up on this job. If it can't be repaired well, I can't afford to pay for it."

"No, brother, I finally encountered such a big job, how could I miss it like this? They said, as long as it can be repaired, spare parts are not counted, and the labor cost is this amount." Yan Jiefang held out five fingers of his right hand.

Spread it out and said with a smile on his face. He didn't believe that Yan Jiecheng was not tempted. This was equivalent to what he and Liu Guangtian had gained in the past month. If this order is completed, even if the three of them share it equally, one person can still share it.

to more than ten yuan.

But Yan Jiecheng didn't know. He thought it was five yuan. Although five yuan was a lot, it was not worth the risk, so he said: "Five yuan? Forget it. I won't do this."

"It's not five yuan, it's fifty yuan, fifty yuan." Yan Jiefang said excitedly, his voice rising unknowingly.

Yan Jiecheng quickly stopped her. Although the fifty yuan was a bit surprising to him, he still didn't want to take on the job. The main reason was that the TV sets in this era were still made of picture tubes, and he was not sure that they could be repaired.

"You'd better go back and take on more small jobs with Guangtian. I'm not sure about this."

"No, brother, it's okay even if it's broken. Anyway, the family planned to replace it with a new one. If it's broken, they won't make any money at most. You'd better take a look."

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, Yan Jiecheng became interested and planned to change it to a new one. It seemed that the family's status was not low, and ordinary people did not have this ability.

You can see if you can buy it. Anyway, the family is planning to replace it with a new one. Whether it can be repaired well or not is up to you.

"Jiefang, who owns this TV? How did you get in touch?" Yan Jiecheng was a little curious. He would believe that they knew someone who had a radio at home. Even Yan Jiecheng didn't know such a person.

"It's not me, it's Guangtian, a newly transferred person from their factory. It seems someone in my family works for the Municipal Revolutionary Committee."

I see, it's understandable. After all, this is when these people are gaining power, and it's quite simple to get a TV.
