The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Lin had been married to He Yuzhu for more than three months, but her stomach had not shown any sign of pregnancy, so she was very worried that it was her fault.

After hearing this, Yu Li also hurried to comfort him.

"Don't worry about this, it will come naturally when the time comes."

"So what month did sister-in-law get pregnant?"

After hearing this, Liu Lin nodded and asked Yu Li.

"For me, it's probably around half a year. You have to know that you can't tell in a month. You might already have it now."

Yu Li also told Liu Lin about her own experience and asked Liu Lin not to be too anxious and to just let things take their course.

Today, bursts of laughter were heard from many homes in the Siheyuan, because many workers from the steel rolling mill passed the assessment.

In fact, there are no couples in the orphanage who both have jobs and only need to raise one child, like Liu Minghui and his wife.

Most people work alone to support a family of four or five, so as long as they get promoted, they can earn a few more dollars every month, which is very important to many people.

Liu Minghui remembered that when he was young in his previous life, he heard his family say that his father had to pay back his neighbors after receiving his monthly salary because he had to borrow money from his neighbors because it was not enough to spend the previous month. And then it would be the same again the next month. He paid back and borrowed, and he was just short of these few dollars every month.

Liu Minghui has heard this story many times and is still deeply impressed by it.

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai called everyone to a meeting.

"Everyone is here. First of all, I would like to congratulate the neighbors who have advanced today. They are all great. They have worked hard and studied hard, and have achieved the results of their hard work in today's assessment."

"We should applaud them and everyone should remember to learn from them."

Yi Zhonghai started by praising his neighbors who had advanced in the assessment, and everyone applauded out of respect.

After waiting for a while, Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Of course, there are successes and failures. Don't be discouraged if you don't pass the assessment. As long as you keep studying, I believe you can do it too."

He also encouraged Yi Zhonghai, who failed the assessment, and told everyone that if they had any questions about their work, they could go to him or Liu Haizhong, and they would be happy to give guidance.

"Okay, the weather is cold now, let me tell you the main things tonight."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he sat down and signaled Yan Bugui that it was his turn.

Yan Bugui wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle and refined, with an air of purity.

"Good evening, everyone. Today I'm mainly going to talk about our winter vegetable storage. Director Wang told me today that tomorrow morning you can go to the street office with your voucher to buy winter vegetables."

I heard a lot of neighbors talking about how to grab a spot and what time they should go there.

"Everyone be quiet. I have an idea after listening to what the Third Master has said."

Yi Zhonghai stood up and asked everyone to be quiet before continuing, "As everyone knows, every year we have to queue up for a long time to buy winter vegetables. This year, I thought, why don't we send a few people to take up the positions first, and the rest can leave tomorrow morning."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, someone raised his hand and asked, "Who should we send, since we have to go there in the middle of the night?"

It was He Yuzhu who spoke. He didn't want to queue up in the middle of the night.

"Zhu Zi, I think you are pretty good, why don't you bring a few people with you?"

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile.

"Don't come looking for me. Isn't it nice to sleep with your wife in your arms?"

He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands and stepped aside without saying anything.

"Okay, I know you don't want to go, but this year's winter storage vegetables don't seem to be enough. If you go there, you might not be able to buy any."

This was the main reason why Yi Zhonghai and the other two held a meeting. Director Wang said that due to the drought, there were fewer winter storage vegetables this year. Tomorrow's batch is the first batch, and the rest will require further notification.

"That's it."

"Uncle, I'll go."

Many people became anxious when they heard that they might not be able to buy it, and began to volunteer. After all, this concerns the family's food supply for several months.

"Yes, everyone is very active, but we don't need too many, four or five people will be enough."

Yi Zhonghai watched everyone's performance with satisfaction, as this was the Siheyuan in his mind.

"I asked Guangtian to go with me, since he doesn't have to go to class tomorrow. Liu Haizhong got Liu Guangtian a job, but I don't know if Liu Guangtian will be happy when he finds out.

Liu Minghui and Yu Li sat aside and watched. Anyway, he was not going back, so he didn't need this little thing.

Finally, everyone discussed it and Yan Jiecheng led the team, along with Liu Guangtian and two new neighbors. The four of them went to line up together. They needed to set off at one or two o'clock in the morning to reserve a spot.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai wanted He Yuzhu to come along, but was rejected by He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai looked very unhappy about this.

After the meeting, Liu Minghui took Yu Li home. It became even colder after the snow stopped, so it was better to stay at home to keep warm.

"Honey, I have to help tomorrow too. You have to get the vegetables back tomorrow morning. I'll leave them out in advance."

Yu Li was lying on the bed and assigned a task to Liu Minghui. Since the supply and marketing cooperative was right opposite the street office, under normal circumstances the supply and marketing cooperative would definitely send someone over to help.

Don't think about it, Yu Li must be in there, because the few counters near Yu Li are the least busy in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"no problem."

Liu Minghui agreed immediately and went over to see for himself.

The next morning at around six o'clock, Yu Li got up early and went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone in the courtyard had already set out early to replace those who had stayed up all night to queue.

Liu Minghui waited until almost eight o'clock before going there. When he arrived at the street office, he could see several rows of people queuing from afar. When he got there, he found that people were coming and going. Those who bought vegetables were transported back home by their families on carts.

"Minghui, come here."

Liu Minghui was seen by He Yuzhu as soon as he arrived, and he was shouting at him in the team.

"Why haven't you come yet? Didn't you come early?"

When Liu Minghui got closer, he realized that all the people in the courtyard were together. Only one person from each family needed to line up, and the rest had to stand not far away and wait.

"It's still the same even though we came early. But we're pretty fast. It's almost our turn."

He Yuzhu pointed at the team and said with a smile. Liu Minghui looked carefully and found that it was true. There were not many people in the front, but there were still people coming. It was unknown how long Yu Li would be busy.

"Why did you come here empty-handed? Never mind. Fortunately, I have a cart here. Leave it to me later."

Today, Liu Minghui came with someone and did not borrow a cart. Seeing this, He Yuzhu asked him to come along and help transport the things back.
