Chapter 182 Buying a 3-wheeler
Yan Bugui laughed and agreed readily: "No problem! But it's best for you to find a job yourself. Paying for a job is the last resort."
Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, please pay for me to get a job! I will pay it back in installments every month like the second brother."
Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Boss, you should just forget it! You've been looking for a job for such a long time, so you can afford to wait a little longer. All right! This family meeting is over. Next time we buy food, you and your mother can go together. Your mother can take the food for the four of us, and you can take the food for you and your brother."
After walking out of the living room, Yan Jiecheng grabbed Yan Jiefang and asked, "Old Second, what did you mean just now?!"
Yan Jiefang replied: "What can I mean?!" Then Yan Jiefang slapped Yan Jiecheng's hand away and said: "You have no ability, who can you blame?!"
"You!" Yan Jiecheng wanted to slap Yan Jiefang. But seeing Yan Jiefang's expression, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to do it. Yan Jiefang sneered, "I said you are a waste, and you still don't admit it?! If I were you, I would listen to my father. Go to the hospital and exchange blood for money."
At this time, Yan Jiefang's brain was still active. At least he knew what he wanted and what he should do? He had not been fooled by Yan Bugui yet, and he was still thinking.
The Yan family meeting was over, and He Yuzhu was having dinner. He Yushui asked, "Brother, the quota has been reduced. What should we do?!"
He Yuzhu said: "Don't worry about this. Your task is to study hard."
Huang Ying picked up a piece of beef and put it into He Yushui's bowl, then said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, my due date is in June. There are no elderly people in our family. Why don't we bring grandpa and grandma over after the New Year!"
He Yuzhu replied, "You don't need to tell me about this. The factory was closed for the past two days, and I asked Taishan and Taihe to take a message back. I will talk to grandpa and grandma when I go to my grandpa's house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year."
He Yushui said, "Brother, if grandma doesn't come, I will take care of my sister-in-law during her confinement."
He Yuzhu said, "You haven't figured it out yet, girl?! And you're still taking care of me during my confinement. I appreciate your kindness. But I still say the same old thing. Just focus on your studies now. You don't have to worry about anything else."
At the same time, in Sanjiadian Village, Lu Shunyi’s home.
After dinner, Lv Shunyi and Cui Juan returned to the house. Lv Shunyi sat at the head of the kang smoking a pipe, while Cui Juan sat at the foot of the kang mending clothes by the light of an oil lamp. After Cui Juan finished mending the first piece of clothing and picked up another piece of clothing, she stopped and asked, "Old man, when do you think it would be best for us to go to Zhuzi's place?!"
Lu Shunyi said, "The baby's due date is in June, which is still more than half a year away! I think it won't be too late to wait until April or May."
Cui Juan said: "Zhu Zi is also a miserable child. He had to take care of his sister before, and now he has to take care of us. It's really hard for this child."
Lu Shunyi said, "We owe this child something. We can repay him slowly when we have the chance. If it doesn't work out, you can go over after the New Year. I'll stay here and take care of the family."
Cui Juan's face changed and she said, "Old man, we have lived together for most of our lives and have never been apart even in the most difficult times. Do we have to separate just because we are old?!"
Lu Shunyi said, "Food is so scarce right now! If both of us go, won't that add burden to the children?!"
Cui Juan sighed and said, "Zhu Zi will come over during the Chinese New Year. How about we wait for him to come and hear his opinion?!"
Lu Shunyi hesitated for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "Just do as you say!"
The next morning, after He Yuzhu sent Huang Ying to the police station, he rushed to the steel mill. Although the steel mill had been on holiday for the past few days, the leaders had not yet gone on holiday and were still doing the finishing touches before the holiday.
Today, as usual, when He Yuzhu was about to go back after the leaders finished their meal, he was stopped by Li Huaide. He Yuzhu asked, "Director, what's the matter?!"
Li Huaide said: "Zhu Zi, you have worked hard these days."
He Yuzhu echoed: "These are what I should do."
Li Huaide said, "I will remember all your contributions." Then Li Huaide changed the subject and asked, "Zhu Zi, I heard that you got the dishes for today's special kitchen through your connections?!"
He Yuzhu nodded and replied, "Yes!" Then he asked, "Director, is there any problem?!"
Li Huaide asked: "Zhu Zi, can you still get today's materials?!"
He Yuzhu replied, "I can do it. But there aren't many things. I'm looking for the connection with my uncle. He's the head chef of Sijiucheng Hotel."
When Li Huaide heard that He Yuzhu had moved out of the Sijiucheng Hotel, he knew that his idea would fail. But when he thought about his father-in-law's dinner party during the New Year, Li Huaide still gritted his teeth and said, "I know the current situation. It's good enough to get something. How about this! I'll take as much as you can get."
He Yuzhu said, "Sure! I'll go there this afternoon. I'll write you a reply tomorrow morning."
Li Huaide said, "I'll be at the factory this afternoon. If you have any news, come to the factory and tell me."
He Yuzhu asked: "Director, what do you want? You should at least give me a list, right?!"
Li Huaide took out the list he had prepared long ago from his jacket pocket and handed it to He Yuzhu, saying, "Zhuzi, here's a tricycle ticket. It's a New Year's gift for you!"
"Thank you, Director!" He Yuzhu took the list and the tricycle ticket and muttered to himself, "Li Huaide is really good at handling things." Then He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Director, you don't know. My wife is pregnant. I have wanted to get a tricycle for a long time, but I couldn't get a ticket. You have helped me a lot this time. I will go and ask for you right now! Just wait for my good news!"
Watching He Yuzhu's back go away, Li Huaide muttered, "I didn't expect this kid to have so many connections!" Then Li Huaide remembered the reduction in supplies, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. Li Huaide sighed deeply and turned away.
After leaving the factory, He Yuzhu found a deserted place and opened the list Li Huaide gave him to read. Not bad! What Li Huaide wanted was not too outrageous. He had all these things in his supermarket space. But in order to maintain a steady income, He Yuzhu could not give him everything he wanted. With a plan in mind, He Yuzhu put away the list and rode his bicycle to the department store.
As the Spring Festival approaches, many factories in Beijing have to close early due to reduced supplies. It is said that everyone has to celebrate the Spring Festival regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Department stores are always the most crowded places. Who says there are so many and complete things here?
He Yuzhu arrived at the department store, came to the bicycle counter, and asked, "Comrade, are there any tricycles here?!"
The female salesperson glanced at He Yuzhu and replied, "Yes!" Then she asked, "Do you have a ticket?!"
He Yuzhu replied: "I have tickets!"
The saleswoman walked out of the counter and took He Yuzhu to the place where the tricycles were parked. Before the saleswoman could speak, He Yuzhu spotted a tricycle that was called a yellow fish car by the people of Shanghai and said, "Comrade, I want this one."
The female salesperson tilted her head to look at He Yuzhu and asked, "Are you sure?!"
He Yuzhu took out the tricycle ticket and money and said, "Just issue the ticket!"
The female salesperson took He Yuzhu to the counter and said as she filled out the form, "A tricycle ticket, 328 yuan."
He Yuzhu handed the ticket to the female salesperson, then counted out 328 yuan and handed it to the female salesperson. After checking the ticket, the female salesperson counted some money. Then she clamped the money, ticket and bill on the clip and pushed it hard. The clip slid along the thin steel wire to the cashier. The cashier took the items off the clip, put the money and ticket into the account, stamped the bill, clamped it together with the invoice on the clip, and pushed the clip back to the counter.
He Yuzhu took the invoice and delivery note to the warehouse behind the department store, picked up a tricycle, put the bicycle on the tricycle, and rode the tricycle to the police station.
