The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui staggered through the middle courtyard. Jia Zhang saw him through the window and said to Qin Huairu, "Hey, they've dispersed. Xu Damao is the same. He's so stingy when it comes to treating guests. He doesn't even want to treat everyone in the courtyard to a meal together."

Qin Huairu was listening at the side and rolled her eyes.

She would think it was weird if Xu Damao really treated everyone to a meal. Who would spend money to treat people to a meal for nothing, especially when there are more than a hundred people in the whole yard?

"Mom, don't think about it. Xu Damao is not that stupid."

On the other side, Liu Minghui returned home. Yu Li was still awake. Seeing him drunk, she hurried to get him some water to wash his face.

"Why is it so late? Our son is asleep."

Yu Li asked in a low voice.

"Hey, you don't know, a few uncles also went there, so we just chatted for a while longer."

Liu Minghui took the towel and said.

"Okay, I feel like taking a shower and going to bed. It's quite late."

Yu Li didn't say anything after hearing this. She just gave some instructions and went back to her room.

Soon, Liu Minghui also packed up and went into the house to sleep.

The next morning, Liu Minghui got up and planned to go out to work after washing up. He happened to meet He Daqing in the yard outside.

"Minghui, get up."

When He Daqing saw him leaving, he also greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah, why is Chef He here so early today?"

Liu Minghui asked with a smile. Usually He Daqing would wait until around eight or nine o'clock before going out, so today's situation was a bit strange.

He Daqing's face turned embarrassed when he heard this. He stammered for a long time before he finally uttered a word.

"I went to bed early yesterday and woke up early this morning."

It was obvious at first glance that it was an excuse, but Liu Minghui didn't delve into it too much. He just nodded and said nothing more.

On the other side, He Daqing also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Minghui did not ask any more questions.

Soon, Liu Minghui saw He Yuzhu coming from the middle courtyard, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, what day is today? Why are you and your son planning to go out so early?"

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Minghui's question, he smiled and explained, "I'm planning to take my dad to the street office while it's still early."

"Hey, what happened to Uncle He?"

Liu Minghui asked curiously after hearing this.

"Ahem, Zhuzi, hurry up and get going."

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to answer, He Daqing interrupted their conversation and pulled He Yuzhu away.

"Hey, hey, dad, slow down. The blind date won't start so soon."

He Yuzhu didn't forget to complain while being dragged away.

As soon as these words were spoken, He Daqing's face suddenly turned red, and he was almost pissed off by He Yuzhu.

He remembered that the purpose of taking He Yuzhu away was to prevent others from knowing, and he also went to buy him a new set of clothes. After all, his clothes were all greasy, and He Daqing couldn't wash them clean by himself, so he planned to spend money to buy some clothes and dress up.

Now, there are not only Liu Minghui, but also other people in the front yard, including some big-mouthed aunts. There is no need to think about it. When I come back in the afternoon, everyone in the yard will know about it.

He Daqing asked his son to take him to a blind date.

"What blind date? I'm planning to go to the steel mill."

He Daqing's face darkened and he chose to refute He Yuzhu's words, refusing to admit it.

He Daqing felt very bitter. If he had known earlier, he would not have listened to his son. Otherwise, he would not have embarrassed himself in front of these old neighbors.

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing in disbelief and said, "Dad, are you confused? It was you who asked me to find out the details of the street office's help for widows to remarry. That's not what you said yesterday."

He Yuzhu was a little confused. He didn't understand how precious a middle-aged man's face was. He had completely disgraced He Daqing.

He Daqing had only one thought in his mind at this moment, that is, he was going to be socially dead. He had originally been planning to remarry, and he was already a hot topic in the hospital. Now, he had to add a reputation of being impatient.

"Dad, please don't go back on your word. I've already mentioned this to the director of the neighborhood office, and you have to attend anyway."

He Yuzhu was still looking at He Daqing with a dissatisfied expression, not knowing at all that He Daqing was planning to bury him.

"Ahem, Lao He, Zhuzi, this is for your own good, right? You should go quickly."

Yan Bugui, who heard the whole conversation between the two, said that although the words sounded good, if you saw Yan Bugui's expression, you would not think so, because Yan Bugui was trying hard to hold back his laughter at this time.

'Go away, hurry up, I'm just mad at you.'

He Daqing didn't want to be treated like a monkey and be watched by others, so he hurriedly pulled He Yuzhu away.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui on the side also had a smile on his face. He didn't expect that He Daqing had this side of him. He was completely controlled by He Yuzhu.

I don’t know whether He Yuzhu really doesn’t understand or is just pretending.

Liu Minghui didn't stay long. After washing up and having breakfast, he went out to work.

In the afternoon, the convoy that had set out for Tianjin Port returned and was immediately taken to a warehouse that had been arranged long ago for storage. Minister Xu also specially arranged for people from the security department to guard it, for fear of any accidents.

The next thing was the distribution of this batch of machines. Minister Xu wanted to call Liu Minghui over for advice, but he refused. It would be useless for him to say anything anyway, so it was better for him not to join in the fun.

As for whether the steel rolling mill could be allocated, Liu Minghui thought it should be no problem. After all, Director Yang also had a backer, namely Deputy Minister Chen. He would definitely speak for Director Yang, so Liu Minghui did not plan to join in the fun.

In the afternoon, the department cafeteria prepared a good meal, which was just the right time to process the pig that Song Gang brought back yesterday. Liu Minghui also followed the crowd and bought one to take back.

"I'm off work, what else did you bring? This is not like you."

At the gate of the courtyard, Liu Minghui ran into He Yuzhu and his son. He Yuzhu looked at him and said.

"It's just a snack in the cafeteria. Spend some money and buy some braised pork."

Liu Minghui raised the lunch box in his hand and said.

"Tsk tsk. The leaders eat differently."

He Yuzhu sighed.

Liu Minghui shook his head and explained, "You think too much. It only happens once or twice a month."

After saying that, Liu Minghui stopped talking about this topic. He looked at He Daqing who was wearing new clothes and said, "Ahem, isn't this Uncle He? I can hardly recognize him in his new clothes."

This was of course a joke, but Liu Minghui was not wrong. At this moment, He Daqing did look much cleaner than usual.

"I wonder if the blind date went well?"

He Daqing was embarrassed to talk about this with the younger generation, so he didn't plan to respond, but just nodded implicitly.

However, He Yuzhu did not have this worry. He chattered with Liu Minghui about the scene he saw in the morning.
