Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yang Chong was just looking for a reliable market to help him sell his prey, so he readily agreed to Liu Laoben's request. Moreover, he had a bigger plan, and he was going to let Yu Xiu come to work in the steel mill as a worker, so he naturally had to find a way to control the steel mill.

Not only Yu Xiu, but also Yang Xiaojuan will have to rely on the steel mill in the future.

So, after separating from Liu Laoben, he did not go home immediately, but went directly to Hou Liqiu's office.

Hou Liqiu hadn't left yet and was waiting in the office. After receiving the news just now, he was even more excited than Liu Laoben. He even ran to the cafeteria to see the two fat wild boars with his own eyes.

Hou Likui was very excited because he had been the deputy section chief of the logistics department for many years, but he had never had the opportunity to be promoted. The section chief had been standing still for many years, and he had also been suppressed for many years.

Recently, the section chief is approaching retirement age and is about to retire, but at this time he has to face several competitors. Because of this, Lao Hou is so anxious that his hair is turning white. Because apart from work experience, he is at a disadvantage compared to his competitors in other aspects.

At this time, Hou Liqiu was scratching his head, trying his best to add some weight to his competition so that he could stand out among his competitors, but he was at a loss.

And now Yang Chong suddenly sent him two big fat pigs, which seemed to light up a bright light for his confused future.

At this moment, Hou Liqiu was sitting in his office, his face flushed with excitement, and the two fingers holding the cigarette were shaking constantly. He realized that God seemed to have opened a door for him to be promoted to a full-time section chief.

At this time, Yang Chong came to his office after coming out of the Finance Department. As soon as he entered the door, Hou Likui stood up quickly and said happily with a red face: "Xiao Yang, you are finally here. I went to the cafeteria to check it out. You are really amazing. Those two big fat pigs can produce more than 500 kilograms of meat. Our factory workers can finally have a good meal of pork."

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair, pressed Yang Chong down on it, took out a cigarette for him, and even struck a match to light it for him.

This move made Yang Chong a little flattered.

"Xiao Yang, I really didn't expect that you are so capable that you can actually kill a wild boar, and it's so big." Hou Liqiu said excitedly.

Before Yang Chong could say anything, Hou Likui lowered his voice and whispered, "Xiao Yang, tell me the truth, can you still kill a wild boar in the future?"

Yang Chong thought for a moment and said, "Chief Hou..."

Hou Likui immediately said, "Don't call me Section Chief Hou, call me brother. From now on, we are brothers. Call me Section Chief Hou in front of others, and call me brother when no one is around."

Yang Chong said, "Brother Hou, to be honest, hunting wild boars is not as reliable as hunting rabbits and pheasants. Not only is it dangerous, it is also more difficult to encounter."

Just as Hou Likui showed a hint of disappointment on his face, Yang Chong said, "I can only kill two or three in a month at most..."

Hou Liqiu's hand trembled, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"You said you could kill two or three wild boars in a month?" His tone changed a little with excitement.

Yang Chong nodded: "If we are lucky, we should be able to get more."

"How much more? This... do you... want to work in a steel mill?" Hou Liqiu was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

He couldn't help but get excited. You know, the current situation is difficult and it's hard for everyone to have enough food. Even in a state-owned factory like a steel rolling mill, the workers only eat mixed flour steamed buns and it's unknown how many months it will take before they can eat pork.

And now, Yang Chong actually said that he could catch at least two or three wild boars a month.

If you're lucky, there will be more!

Hou Liqiu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He spoke incoherently and couldn't express his meaning completely.

Yang Chong looked at him in confusion: "Hou Ke...Brother, I came here to talk to you about the work quota."

As he spoke, he took out the several hundred yuan he had just received from the Finance Department, counted out thirty large black ten-cent notes and placed them in front of Hou Likui: "Brother, we agreed on three hundred yuan before, and now I have collected the money."

Hou Likui waved his hands happily at this time and pushed the stack of money back: "Brother, what I said before doesn't count..."

Yang Chong was stunned, frowning, and stood up: "Why? We agreed that you would keep the work quota for me until after the New Year, but it's not even the New Year yet, how can you sell it to someone else?"

Hou Likui realized that he had not made his words clear. He blushed and quickly grabbed Yang Chong's shoulders: "Brother, please listen to me. That's not what I meant... I didn't sell the quota to anyone else..."

Yang Chong looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Hou Likui pushed him back into the chair and explained, "Brother, what I mean is, if you are willing to come to work in the steel mill, I don't want the 300 yuan, I will just give you the work quota."

"This is so embarrassing, brother. I can't take this advantage for free." Yang Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

Hou Likui said, "Brother, you are not taking advantage of me. I want you to help me. To tell you the truth, materials are so scarce now. Your fat pigs are very important to our steel mill. I want you to come to the steel mill to work, and do procurement, and hunt wild boars for the canteen. If you can guarantee two or three wild boars a month as you said, it will solve the big difficulties of the factory, and I will also have face in front of the factory director. Why do you want three hundred yuan?"

That's right. Yang Chong understood Hou Liqiu's meaning, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, hesitantly said, "Brother, if I don't agree to such a good thing you offer me, I would be ungrateful. But..." As he spoke, he scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

When Hou Likui saw him like this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "What's wrong, brother? Others would beg for such a good thing, why are you still hesitating? Didn't you just say you wanted to use money to buy work quotas? Why are you not happy now that we don't want your money?"

Yang Chong sighed and said, "Brother, a job that doesn't pay is of course great, how can I not be happy? But my plan is to let my wife work in the factory, and I can go hunting in the mountains, so that both of us can have a livelihood and income, right?"

"Is that so..." Hou Liqiu felt embarrassed when he heard this. What Yang Chong said made sense. If there was a chance for both husband and wife to earn money, of course they would want to find a job for their wife first.

After all, he can make a good income just from hunting, and it would be perfect if he could solve his wife's job first.

But if that’s the case, wouldn’t all my work be in vain?

"Brother, how about you go into the factory first, and I'll help you keep an eye on it. If there are any work targets, I'll give them to your sister-in-law. What do you think?" Hou Liqiu tried to say.

Yang Chong shook his head: "Brother, I'm really not in a hurry here. It's mainly because my wife's job is difficult."

Hou Liqiu scratched his head. This matter was really difficult to handle.

He only has this one indicator in his hand now. If he had two, he would rather give them all to Yang Chong and his wife and keep Yang Chong.

After all, if Yang Chong was kept, his hope of being promoted to a full-time official would greatly increase.

But isn't that less?

What should I do? Should I just watch the opportunity slip away?

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Hou Likui's mind: "Brother, sit here and have a cup of tea. Wait for me. I will think of a solution."
