Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

On the table, each person had a steamed bun, and in the middle was a large pot of fried cabbage. Yan Jiekuang couldn't find the meat he brought back.

When the third aunt heard what her son said, she started to search in the cabbage. After searching for about two minutes, she finally found a piece of meat the size of a corn kernel from the bottom.

He raised his chopsticks and shook them, then stuffed them into his mouth: "Isn't this it?"

Yan Jiekuang was so shocked by this action that he was speechless.

Only after finishing his meal did he approach Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, let's have a meeting at home!"

Five minutes later, everyone in the Yan family sat around the dinner table.

"Dad, Mom, our family is different now than before. We don't need to be so frugal anymore."

"My eldest brother, his wife, my second brother, and I have all started working. We will give 20 yuan to our family every month. Add to that your salary, and we can have meat every now and then."

"I'm not saying that you're wrong to be frugal. I know it's not easy for you to raise several children, but you can't go too far. Just like today, I brought back five pounds of meat, and my mother probably didn't even put half a pound in it."

"We don't get enough nutrition like this."

Hearing Yan Jiekuang talking about eating meat, the eldest brother also spoke up: "Yes! I think the third brother is right. Yu Li and I pay ten yuan every month, but we don't even see a scrap of meat."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's protest, Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "Second brother, why don't you criticize your parents?"

Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Bugui. Although he also wanted to eat meat, his financial situation did not allow it. He could not even pay for his monthly living expenses, so he had no right to ask for it.

Seeing his second brother speechless, Yan Jiekuang spoke up to help: "Dad, we are not criticizing you, we just want you to eat something good. Now our family is no worse than others in the yard, why can they eat but we can't."

"Our family is much better off now, but I have taught you since you were young that if you can't afford to be poor, you can afford to wear clothes. If you can't plan well, you will be poor. If we don't save some money, what will we do when we encounter problems?"

"I think you just live too well and have never been hungry."

Listening to Yan Bugui's words, Yan Jiekuang found that he could not argue with his father at all, because when it came to saving money, the old man was an expert.

Faced with this situation, he could only use his trump card: "Dad, you know, I am a buyer now and I can access a lot of supplies."

"I don't ask you to spend money on good food, but you can't save on the things I bring back, otherwise you won't bring them home in the future. You can do the math yourself."

Yan Jiekuang did this for two reasons. One was that he really wanted to help improve the family’s food, and it would be even better if he could change the old couple’s stingy personalities.

Another thing is that it is too expensive to eat in restaurants every day. Instead of wasting money on restaurants, it is better to improve the quality of the food at home. Others may lack meat, but he does.

Yan Bugui looked at his determined son, struggled for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, from now on, don't keep anything you bring back."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yan Jiekuang proposed another thing: "Dad, can I ride your bicycle? I'll give you three dollars a month for rent."

"As you know, I need to go to various production teams to purchase supplies. Some places are quite far away."

Yan Jiekuang did not plan to rely on the storage in the space to complete tasks all the time. In his spare time, he planned to visit various production teams.

But not every production team was like Zhangjiazhuang, which was close to the old city. To some places, it would take half a day just to walk there.

The Purchasing Department does not provide transportation, and the Third Unit only has two tricycles. They can only be used when large quantities of supplies must be transported. Even in special circumstances like Yan Jiekuang transporting wild boars, they can be used.

Yan Bugui was very hesitant about his son's application. As a teacher, he attached great importance to his reputation. If he could ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day, others would look up to him.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "No, I need to use it every day!"

"Unless you pay more!!! At least five dollars a month."

Hearing his father's loud words, Yan Jiekuang was speechless.

Normally, when someone rents a car, it only costs one cent per time, and even if you subscribe to a monthly plan, it is still charged one cent per day, but my dad is not satisfied.

"Dad, there's no one like you. You only lend money to outsiders for ten cents each time. I give you three dollars a month, which is also ten cents when calculated."

"How can it be the same? When I lend it to others, it's when I take a break and don't use it. But you need to ride it every day, so I can't use it. You have to raise the price."

While calculating the bills, Yan Bugui stated his reasons.

Seeing his father's shrewd eyes, Yan Jiekuang still argued: "My monthly salary is only 24.5, and I have to give you yuan for food every month. If I pay yuan for car rental, there will be nothing left. Let's make a compromise. I will give you yuan a month. If you think it's okay, it's okay. If not, forget it. I'll leave it alone."

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, but took out a notebook from the drawer and started to calculate. I didn't know how he calculated it. After more than 20 minutes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just four dollars. You are my son. If you are an outsider, it will be at least five dollars."

"There's one more thing I want to make clear. If it's broken, you have to fix it yourself. When you return it, you have to return it in the same condition I lent it to you."

Yan Jiekuang was too tired to argue. He was almost used to Yan Bugui's tricks. He took out four yuan from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the rent for this month. Now the bike belongs to me."

After taking the car keys from his father, Yan Jiekuang lay down on his bed and fell asleep in a short while.

After a whole day of hard work, even though his physique was much stronger than before, he still couldn't bear it.

The next day, Yan Jiekuang arrived at the steel rolling mill early.

Seeing that the purchasing department was empty, I had no desire to stay there any longer.

A wild boar was purchased this month, and the purchasing task of 60 yuan has been exceeded.

But thinking about the quota for regularization, I decided to go to the countryside for a few days.

After receiving the note from the section chief, Yan Jiekuang went to the finance office and said, "Sister Yang, I'll give you an advance of 30 yuan, and the corresponding food and meat coupons."

"It's Xiao Yan! Are you going to the countryside again? You're really working hard." Yang Guifen took the note, glanced at it, and said, "How many days will you be gone?"

Every buyer has to report the time when he goes out to purchase, otherwise some people have to visit several production teams in a row and three or four days will pass by.

The factory has no idea where you went.

"Three days, maybe visit two more villages. Isn't Corey planning to release a permanent position? I want to try for it."

A leader will come to inspect next month, and it has already been spread that the purchasing department should collect more precious ingredients.

Yan Jiekuang also brought up this matter on purpose. He had just joined the factory, and if he got the qualification to become a regular employee quietly, it would cause too much noise.

If you mention your interest in this position now, once you get it, people will only say that you work hard enough.
