The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After hearing this, Liu Minghui also understood that there would definitely be too many people and too little meat when purchasing in the countryside. After all, there were so many factories in the entire city, and it would be good enough to be able to buy a pig.

"I see. Let them try harder and see if there are any other gains."

Liu Minghui did not say anything to express his dissatisfaction. These buyers have been working very hard recently and their enthusiasm cannot be dampened.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the leadership of the steel rolling mill held a regular meeting led by Director Yang, and Liu Minghui arrived at the meeting room on time.

"This year is almost over, and we expect to complete this year's mission goals by the middle of next month. This is a good thing for us. I believe that we will be given more work next year."

Director Yang was speaking at the meeting in high spirits, saying that the output of the steel rolling mill had exploded this year, and that he had given a perfect answer to his superiors. This was his political achievement, so of course Director Yang was happy.

"Of course, it was mainly the concerted efforts of our steel mill workers that completed this. Let's see how to arrange the year-end benefits this year. We can discuss this matter first."

Then Director Yang raised a question, which was the year-end benefits of the steel rolling mill. In previous years, the workers were given grain, oil, rice and flour, but this year due to the overall environment, it is estimated that this will not be possible.

Everyone present was silent about this because no one wanted to be involved in this matter.

Finally, Li Huaide spoke up and said, "Director, I don't think we can distribute meat this year. How about we distribute some daily necessities?"

There was no way. He was usually responsible for this matter and could not shirk it. He could only think of a solution.

"Oh, what do you say?"

After listening to this, Director Yang became interested and wanted to hear Li Huaide's thoughts because he also knew the specific situation.

"We can provide the workers with cloth. This is also a necessity, and most people's homes are also short of these things."

Li Huaide expressed his thoughts, since he had a good relationship with Lin Dalong from the textile factory, he could definitely exchange some cloth for it.

Deputy Director Zhao on the side disagreed with this. Before Director Yang could speak, he stood up and spoke.

"Director Li Fu, I don't think this will work. The workers have worked so hard for a year, how can we just give them a little cloth? I think we should try to give them some rice, flour and meat."

Deputy Director Zhao was in charge of the trade union, so naturally he wanted to seek benefits for the workers, so he stood up and refuted after hearing what Li Huaide said.

"Deputy Director Zhao, do you think I don't want to send it? It's just that we don't have the supplies. If you have a way, I'll leave this to you."

Li Huaide did not give any face and directly confronted Deputy Director Zhao.

"you…."

When Deputy Director Zhao was about to say something, Director Yang stopped him.

"Deputy Director Zhao, please stop talking. You should be considerate of Deputy Director Li. It's not like he doesn't want to do this. Now is a difficult time and everyone should overcome it."

After calming down Deputy Director Zhao, Director Yang said to Li Huaide, "Deputy Director Li, I think your idea is good, but it would be better if you could give out more or provide more."

Director Yang still tends to be on Li Huaide's side. He also knows the current situation and the steel rolling mill really cannot provide so many materials.

If it's the same as last year, even emptying the warehouse won't work.

After hearing this, Li Huaide's expression improved a lot, but he didn't even look at Deputy Director Zhao's opinion. He stood up and spoke to Director Yang.

"Director Yang, I will certainly work hard on this."

After the meeting, everyone left, except Li Huaide and Deputy Director Zhao, who disliked each other and left without even saying hello.

Liu Minghui did not speak during the entire meeting. He stayed in the corner and watched the entire meeting.

……

Time flies, and with a few snowfalls, it is almost the end of the year, and 59 years are about to pass.

It is said that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but unfortunately there is not much snow this year, just sparse snow.

The saying that auspicious snow means a good harvest means that after a heavy snowfall, a thick layer of snow can cover the soil, which can protect the soil and ensure that there is no shortage of water in the next spring, playing a key role in sowing.

Liu Minghui rode his bicycle back to the courtyard in the cold wind. Today is the second day of the twelfth lunar month, also the last day of 59. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, but no one seems to be in a festive mood.

The main reason was that life was getting worse and worse. Liu Minghui didn't see many pedestrians on his way home, and few people wanted to go out in this weather.

"Ding-ling-ling."

Accompanied by the sound of bicycle bells, Liu Minghui returned to the gate of the courtyard and carried his bicycle into the courtyard.

What catches your eye is a row of back rooms. After Yan Jiecheng got married, he and his wife rented one of them. They moved out of the Yan family's home, but they still eat together.

"Minghui is off work."

"correct."

Liu Minghui pushed his bicycle inside and greeted the neighbors he met.

"Brother Minghui."

Liu Lin, who was in the front yard, greeted Liu Minghui when she saw him come in. She was holding Liu Minghui's son and playing in the yard.

"Little sister, you are wearing too little, aren't you cold?"

When Liu Minghui saw that Liu Lin was still wearing an autumn shirt and not even a cotton jacket, he asked in confusion.

"Hehe, my martial arts training does have some benefits."

Liu Lin said cheerfully that her physical fitness was in good condition after practicing martial arts, at least she was more resistant to cold.

"That's fine. I was thinking of asking your sister-in-law to make you a dress."

Hearing this, Liu Lin immediately became excited. Who doesn’t want new clothes?

"Brother, I think I'm still missing a piece of clothing, you see..."

In response, Liu Minghui could only look at Liu Lin with disdain and said, "Talk to your sister-in-law yourself."

Then he took Liu Lin back to his home. At that time, He Yushui was also at Liu's home.

"Rainwater, are you on holiday?"

Liu Minghui was not surprised to see Yu Shui in her house. After all, Liu Lin was her sister-in-law and they probably came here together.

"Brother Minghui, I've been on vacation for several days."

He Yushui showed a helpless expression on her face. She felt as if she had no sense of existence in the courtyard.

Except for her brother and sister-in-law, no one else cares much about her.

"Haha, sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Liu Minghui laughed after hearing this.

After entering the house, Liu Minghui took off his coat. There were two stoves in the room and the temperature was quite high.

"Brother, are you going back to Liujia Village this year?"

Liu Lin asked after Liu Minghui finished his work and sat down.

Liu Minghui had nothing to say about this question.

"I should go back for two days and come back after the New Year."

Liu Lin was also very happy after hearing this, because this way she could go back with Liu Minghui and his wife, so she would have company.

"That's good, we can go back together."
