The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After dinner in the evening, the third uncle notified everyone in the front yard to go to the Intermediate Court for a meeting. Liu Minghui asked Yan Bugui what it was about, but Yan Bugui did not tell him, but only told him that it was a good thing for everyone.

Liu Minghui, not knowing what was going on, brought Yu Li to the Central Courtyard. He originally didn't want Yu Li to come, but Yu Li wanted to watch the fun and left faster than Liu Minghui.

When the two arrived, Yi Zhonghai and the other two were already sitting at the table, and they waited until almost everyone had arrived.

Yi Zhonghai stood up and said with a smile: "Because of our title of excellent courtyard house, the street office gave us a job quota in the steel rolling mill. This is undoubtedly a great event, which shows that our work is right."

"We have to keep doing this. Who knows, there might be more good things like this in the future. What do you think?"

No one expected that Yi Zhonghai would talk about this matter at the meeting tonight, and they all applauded.

"Great, my kid doesn't have a job yet."

These are the thoughts of several families who still have people at home who are not working. After all, having a stable job is very important, so they all started asking about it.

"Uncle, how do we divide it? Why don't you give it to my eldest son?"

At this time a woman said to Yi Zhonghai.

This caused the people around to angrily rebuke, "My child also needs this job, don't compete with me."

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and many competitors began to be wary of each other.

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Yan Bugui picked up the teacup and started knocking it.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss. Our main goal is fairness. After all, there is only one spot available. It depends on who offers the highest bid."

Yes, the solution proposed by Yan Bugui is to bid for the required property, and the money from the purchase can be divided equally among the remaining families.

"Yes, Third Uncle is right. There are a total of 19 families in the compound, including the deaf old lady. Except for the family that got the job, the rest of the money will be divided equally."

Yi Zhonghai also stood up and said that this had happened before, so it would be better to arrange it this way.

"That's right, I'll give it to whoever pays the most."

Jia Zhang also said excitedly. Anyway, the Jia family doesn't need this job, and it's good to get some money.

"Wife, do you want me to get this job for you?"

Behind the crowd, He Yuzhu spoke to Liu Lin in a low voice.

Of course Liu Lin wanted to, but she had just given birth to a child and didn't have time to go to work. After all, there was no one to take care of the child for her.

"Forget it, our son is still too young."

He Yuzhu suddenly realized after hearing this. He realized that he was so focused on work that he forgot that his son was born not long ago.

Old Chen stood alone on the outskirts of the crowd. As one of the few people in the hospital who did not have a formal job, few people would chat with him, because the gap between them made people stay away from their home.

But now there is an opportunity to get a job, and Lao Chen doesn't want to give up. However, the Chen family is poor and can't afford so much money. Although it won't be more expensive than outside, it will cost at least one or two hundred yuan. Lao Chen, who can't afford the money, looks at Liu Minghui sitting in the crowd.

"Section Chief Liu."

Old Chen called Liu Minghui in a low voice. When he heard it, he looked back and saw Old Chen waving at him. Liu Minghui raised his eyebrows, said something to Yu Li, then stood up and left the crowd.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Minghui asked curiously. Old Chen was a little reserved, hesitating and unable to explain clearly.

"me..."

Seeing this, Liu Minghui could only interrupt him.

"Do you want this job and want to borrow money from me?"

Liu Minghui is not a fool, of course he knows what Lao Chen is thinking.

Old Chen was not surprised to hear his thoughts revealed. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, and he didn't believe that Liu Minghui couldn't understand it.

Old Chen made up his mind and said with hope in his tone.

"Chief Liu, I hope to have a job, but I have no money. Can you give me a hand?"

After saying this, Lao Chen felt that his words were too general, and quickly added.

"Of course, I will pay a little back every month. I believe I can pay it off in no time."

After saying this, he looked at Liu Minghui with hope, eager to get a positive answer.

Liu Minghui did not reply after hearing this, but fell into deep thought. It was not a question of whether to lend or not. The main reason was that many people in the hospital needed this job, including many elderly people who had lived in the hospital for a long time. They did not have such a good relationship with people like Lao Chen who had just moved in. If Liu Minghui lent the money, it would be strange if they did not say something bad about Liu Minghui behind his back.

"this."

After thinking about it, Liu Minghui was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Yu Li.

"husband."

Yu Li walked up to the two of them at some point and interrupted Liu Minghui when he was about to answer.

Yu Li signaled to Lao Chen with her eyes, as if to lend him the money. Liu Minghui naturally would not object to this. He just didn't want to cause trouble, but it didn't mean he was afraid.

"Okay, just name the price and I'll pay you."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, Old Chen was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Chief Liu. Thank you."

Old Chen, crying with joy, thanked the two of them.

"Okay, it's about to start over there, let's go over there."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yu Li pulled Liu Minghui and walked towards her seat.

At this time, everyone who had gone back to discuss the matter also returned.

"Everyone has agreed, so let's start the bidding. Of course, the reserve price is one hundred yuan."

Yan Bugui stood up cheerfully and said that now a job is worth about five to eight hundred yuan, and the hospital certainly cannot charge that much, so they set a minimum price of one hundred yuan. This was what the three of them had agreed upon.

"Uncle San, my family will pay one hundred and twenty."

An old lady immediately called out a price, and everyone knew at a glance that this was the Li family in the backyard. It had been several months since her son graduated, but he still stayed at home every day, eating and drinking for free, and hanging out with some idle people in society every day. Aunt Li was naturally very anxious. Now that there was a job vacancy, of course she had to work hard for it. No matter what, it would be better to let him go to the factory as an apprentice first.

"You want a job for 120 yuan? You wish. My family will pay 130 yuan."

Soon after, someone else raised the price, and there were also people who had children at home and needed to work.

"Huh, are you going to go against our family?"

Aunt Li was unhappy and started to scold immediately.

Of course the aunt who was accused was not happy.

"What do you mean by against it? The one who pays the highest price wins. Gentlemen, do you still care about it?"

This aunt was very smart and directly asked Yi Zhonghai and others to intervene.

"That's right, Li's. Everyone is watching. It's a fair bid. You can't go back on your word later."

Yi Zhonghai said seriously, looking at everyone sternly.

"Okay, my family will pay one hundred and thirty-five."

Aunt Li was helpless. Since Yi Zhonghai had said so, it seemed impossible to get a bargain at a low price. She could only continue to bid.

This is the voice coming from the crowd.

"I'll pay you two hundred dollars."
