Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

"What? You want to go out on field work? Go so far? Isn't your factory abusing people in this cold weather? Shanhe, if it really doesn't work out, we'll quit this crappy job. You can come to my store and be the public manager. We can open a husband-and-wife shop and earn much more than you do. Why do you have to endure this in the factory?"

Chen Xueru thought that Zhao Shanhe was ostracized in the factory and had to take this crappy job, so she immediately asked him to quit his job.

But how could Zhao Shanhe quit his current job? You know, a few years after the three-year disaster, the strong wind season arrived. He was counting on his current job to stabilize his life and protect Chen Xueru and Hou Kui.

"Xue Ru, you think too much. I took the initiative to go on this long journey. I am an activist now. If nothing goes wrong, I will definitely join the party next year. Besides, it is not in vain. The factory will definitely show some appreciation by then. At least I will be an advanced producer.

I heard that this kind of long-distance purchasing work only happens once a year. I also want to go outside the city to have a look. Didn’t you also go to many places when you were doing business? You don’t want your man to be someone who has never been to anywhere and has no experience, right? "

When Chen Xueru heard Zhao Shanhe say that he had asked to go on his own initiative, she knew that it was useless to say anything. She knew Zhao Shanhe's temper. Normally, he would let her make the decision on small matters, but when it came to this kind of thing, he would definitely have the final say, and once it was decided, it would not be changed.

He glared at Zhao Shanhe angrily and said.

"Since you want to go, I'll prepare some money and clothes for you. You can prepare your own food. You have your own little stash so you won't starve."

Zhao Shanhe chuckled. He loved to see Chen Xueru acting like a spoiled brat. But he also knew that she was worried about his safety on the road. The journey was hundreds of kilometers, and if he was not well prepared, something would definitely go wrong.

Although the bandits and road thieves were almost wiped out, the enemy spies still existed. Of course, it was unlikely that the bald agent would look down on the convoy of his small factory. Just for some food and cloth? Not worth it.

At night, he picked up Chen Xueru and beat her until she was exhausted. Finally, she fell asleep on the kang. Zhao Shanhe pushed her several times but she didn't respond. Then he put on a set of black clothes and hurried to the black market.

I bought two guns, one long and one short, from a tall and thin man under Master Deng Sanye. The long one was a "Garand" semi-automatic rifle captured by the Volunteer Army. I don't know how it ended up in Master Sanye's hands. The short one was a Type 54 pistol, which was even harder to get. It seemed that Master Sanye was really wild.

After buying a gun, of course, you have to buy bullets, 200 rounds of pistol bullets, 300 rounds of rifle bullets. Zhao Shanhe felt relieved when he had a gun, but when he thought of his shooting talent, he thought, forget it, I will practice more when I have time on the way. Isn't it said that shooting skills are "fed" by bullets? In the end, he bought 1000 rounds of each type of bullet. If it really doesn't work, he will just be a "money" ability soldier.

The factory had held meetings for several days in a row because of this procurement task. Seeing that tomorrow was Sunday, Zhao Shanhe knew that he would not be able to go this week. The weather was getting colder day by day, and the rivers in Sijiu City were beginning to freeze. After getting off work on Saturday, he used the ability of the small world to make two "old cows" and prepared to take Hou Kui to Shichahai to play tomorrow.

An old ox is easy to make, as long as you have wood. But this whip is fatal. Zhao Shanhe has inquired about many production methods in the past two days. Some are made of old cotton strips, some are made of tree bark. Finally, he chose the thin leather rope inside an old tire. This thing has a small amount of rubber on it to increase friction. Not to mention whipping the "old ox", even people will scream when whipped.

When Hou Kui saw this new set of toys, he wanted to go to Shichahai immediately. Zhao Shanhe finally agreed to let him practice on the floor in the house first. It is said that children have very smart brains and he learned everything in 3 minutes.

Seeing that Hou Kui had learned how to beat Lao Niu, Zhao Shanhe walked over to Chen Xueru and sat down to ask about Pian Ye's yard. The yard had been transferred today. Half of the yard could not be moved because there were residents, and the other half was blocked by the gate just like in the TV series, so it was used to store things.

"Xue Ru, tomorrow I will take Hou Kui to Shichahai for half a day. We will have lunch at your restaurant. In the afternoon, you take me to see the courtyard. I am half the owner of the house anyway, so I have to go and take a look to prevent you from being cheated."

Chen Xueru picked up the orange on the table, peeled it, gave half to Zhao Shanhe and said.

“There are a lot of things in that house. Go over and help me take a look. If there are any good things, put them away. I’m afraid if I leave them there, they might get lost again.

By the way, today Xu Huizhen got the news from somewhere and also asked about this courtyard, but unfortunately I got there first, so it’s impossible for her to buy it now.”

Chen Xueru's words made Zhao Shanhe alert. This Xu Hui was really not an easy person to deal with. She was very cunning. It was just that this era and her gender held her back. If she were in later generations, she would definitely be a successful businessman.

What is the most important thing for businessmen? Profits! If Chen Xueru still doesn't take precautions, she might be sold out by the other party at any time.

But some things cannot be said openly, because that would seem like he is trying to sow discord between the two of them. Zhao Shanhe can only pay more attention to this aspect so that Chen Xueru will suffer less.

The two were talking about the interesting things that happened during the day when they heard someone knocking on the door, and at the same time, the voice of the third uncle sounded outside the door.

"Shanhe, have you taken a break?"

Zhao Shanhe looked at his watch. It was already 7:40 in the evening. Whose wife goes to bed so early?

After opening the door, Yan Bugui walked into the room with the cold wind from outside. Zhao Shanhe was about to close the door when he saw there was another person behind him, Yan Jiecheng also followed.

"Shanhe, Third Master came to see you for something. Xueru is here too. Have you had dinner?"

As soon as Yan Laokou entered the room, he saw Hou Kui performing "Old Cow" and Chen Xueru sitting at the dinner table, and he greeted them quickly.

"The Third Master is here, you guys chat, Hou Kui, come in with me."

Chen Xueru didn't like this old stingy man very much, so she turned around and took Hou Kui into the inner room. Zhao Shanhe then asked the two of them to sit down with a little embarrassment and asked directly.

"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about this late at night?"

The third uncle raised his glasses with his hand and said with a smile.

"They say that no one comes to see you for no reason. I have to trouble you with a little matter. I'm going to have a blind date tomorrow, and I want to prepare some meat dishes to show the girl how strong our family is. As you know, it's really hard to buy meat in the market now, so I'm looking for your help."

After listening to what Old Yan said, Zhao Shanhe looked at Yan Jiecheng who was sitting next to him, and thought to himself that this was a quick move. If nothing unexpected happened, the girl who would come for a blind date tomorrow should be Yu Li.

It's only been two weeks since Sha Zhu's blind date ended, and this side has already made its move. If Sha Zhu didn't make a fuss, he wouldn't be called Sha Zhu. It's a pity that my schedule for tomorrow has already been booked, otherwise I would have to stay at home and watch the show.
