Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

The deaf old lady showed a disappointed expression, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's do it next Sunday at noon. I will pay you. Buy some good ingredients and show off your cooking skills."

Sha Zhu immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem! But you should keep the money for yourself, I will pay for the meal."

The deaf old lady smiled and responded: "Let's talk about it next week!"

Sha Zhu sent her to the backyard and then returned to the middle yard.

Although the time was postponed for a week, the deaf old lady was still very happy. She thought that if Hu Qiumei and Sha Zhu could get closer, maybe she could have a grandson next year. As for Xu Damao, he had no idea that his daughter-in-law had been chosen. When he got home from get off work and saw the locked door, Xu Damao frowned.

Just as he was about to stop the car and unlock it, he saw his wife carrying out a basin of dirty water from the deaf old lady's house.

"Qiumei?" Xu Damao called.

When Hu Qiumei saw that it was Xu Damao, she said stiffly, "Damo, I plan to stay at the old lady's house temporarily recently. You can take care of your own meals when you come back."

"No, we are husband and wife after all. If we have any problems, we can just tell them directly. How can we live outside? Let's go home!" Xu Damao persuaded with a smile on his face.

"Da Mao, I want to be quiet for a while. Let's think about the future. Don't worry about me. It's fine to stay with the old lady."

Seeing that Hu Qiumei was determined, Xu Damao could only nod in agreement. After all, the two of them were still in the same courtyard and had not moved away. So he said to Hu Qiumei: "Qiumei, in this case, you should be careful here, after all, the old lady is not a kind person."

Suddenly, a voice shouted from behind: "Xu Damao, you are saying bad things about me again!" The deaf old lady said with her eyes wide open, leaning on a cane in her hand.

On the other hand, when Ye Chuan returned home, Tong Yao was playing with the children, and Liu Yue had prepared dinner. Because Tong Yao was pregnant, they had not had any social activities for a long time. Looking at his slightly plump wife in front of him, Ye Chuan felt emotional.

As if she understood her husband's gaze, Tong Yao blushed slightly and lowered her head.

After Liu Yue prepared the meal, she took the child and let her husband, son and daughter-in-law eat first. While rocking her granddaughter, she talked about trivial matters in the yard.

"Hu Qiumei from the backyard didn't go to work all day today. I heard that she moved all her things to the deaf old lady's room."

"We have money at home to give her support, so why do we have to go to the deaf old lady?" Ye Chuan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and asked.

"It seems that Xu Damao went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that he was infertile. Hu Qiumei moved to the deaf old lady's room in a fit of anger." Liu Yue continued.

Ye Chuan was stunned. He didn't expect things to turn out this way.

In this time and space, Xu Damao did not marry Lou Xiaoe, but found someone else, Hu Qiumei. Even with the change of partner, the same thing happened again. Could it be that the deaf old lady was going to introduce Sha Zhu to Hu Qiumei? "Have Xu Damao and Hu Qiumei divorced?" Ye Chuan asked curiously.

"They haven't divorced yet. It seems that Hu Qiumei wants to calm down for a while and live in the deaf old lady's house for a while."

Ye Chuan nodded, thinking that this deaf old lady was really nosy. They hadn't even broken up yet, but she was so eager to be a matchmaker. But he didn't know if her efforts would be successful. If so, what would Hu Qiumei choose in the end?

If Qin Huairu knew what the deaf old lady was thinking, I wonder what she would think. Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh. Things were getting more and more interesting.

"Why are you so concerned about Xu Damao's affairs?" Tong Yao asked in surprise. According to her understanding, he usually doesn't care about such matters.

"I'm not particularly concerned, I'm just curious about how this matter will end. That deaf old lady obviously has no good intentions." Ye Chuan said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. How can an old lady of this age have bad intentions?" Liu Yue curled her lips and glanced at her son. Ye Chuan didn't explain and just lowered his head to eat.

Ye Yongshun had no opinion from beginning to end. Since he was appointed to manage some trivial affairs, he had only dealt with the necessary responsibilities. If Yi Zhonghai hadn't urged him to help, he would have been too lazy to deal with this matter. As for Ye Chuan, he was a little busy during this period and didn't have much energy to pay attention to this matter.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and this year the Chinese New Year is celebrated earlier, on January 1. As the economy is at a critical stage of recovery, the business sector has a lot of preparations to do.

After three difficult years, people finally ushered in a slightly better era, and many families would buy a lot of New Year goods before the New Year. After becoming famous through radio **, Ye Chuan decided to seize the opportunity and hold a New Year goods fair before the end of the year.

As a typical representative of supply and marketing cooperatives, many food manufacturers are happy to cooperate with them, as they provide sufficient varieties and quantities.

As the year draws to a close, work at business outlets has basically been suspended, and sales personnel have come to help. Not only can they receive some extra benefits, but they also receive generous overtime pay.

The courtyard of the business point has also become a popular place for the New Year's goods market, directly attracting many people to come and shop. Correspondingly, the booming business here has led to a decrease in customer flow in other areas.

Wei Dong felt very distressed about this and made a phone call to express his troubles, but Ye Chuan just laughed it off.

To ensure everything went smoothly, he temporarily transferred Ma Jianshe from the Second Electronics Factory. Ma Jianshe carried a camera and shuttled through the market, leaving precious historical pictures of various shopping places and people. Ye Chuan brought his own camera and a whole box of film, so he often appeared in different places to take pictures and samples, often making his companions wonder why he took pictures of such ordinary scenes.

What surprised him even more was that, in addition to grains, vegetables and non-staple foods, the most sought-after commodities in the commercial market were refurbished home appliances. In just a few weeks, he repaired a total of 6,000 old radios, and almost half of these high-quality, low-priced products with a warranty period were sold.

The price of each old radio fluctuates between 20 and 30 yuan, and after deducting the cost, the company can earn about 10 yuan per piece. The extra money is saved as daily operating expenses and partly used to subsidize the staff canteen.

After spending more than 4 yuan at Liulifang not long ago, the system storage amount dropped to less than yuan. With the financial support brought by this sale, the liquid assets in it recovered and reached nearly yuan.

With such a large sum of cash in hand, Ye Chuan thought it would be better to visit Liulichang again at an appropriate time to recover some authentic antiques that he might have missed last time to prevent them from entering the international market.

Not only to save cultural relics that might flow into the international market, but also to save the artworks that have been innocently damaged in the past decade - if there is a chance, to protect as much as possible, this is what he can do. Time flies like water, a week has passed in a flash; it is now halfway through January, and in just ten days it will be the Lunar New Year's Eve.

In the past year, the business point has prepared a lot of Spring Festival gifts for everyone, and this news has also spread to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Everyone is looking forward to this year's Spring Festival benefits.

As the business scale grows and a good network of relationships has been established with many cooperative manufacturers, obtaining all kinds of goods that do not rely on purchase tickets has become an extremely easy process.

Based on the above considerations, the gift package that was finally finalized after selecting from many partners not only includes the essential pork, rice, pasta and edible oils, but also adds cooked meat products, roasted duck, various desserts and candied dried fruits, which are the best-selling product varieties in the past six months.

When seeing the contents of the list compiled by Ye Chuan, the site's main operating person Zhao Qi and the person in charge of the supply and marketing society Han Lifen were both quite surprised.

Last year, the gift packages worth tens of yuan were already a pleasant surprise, and this batch of gift packages, which are expected to be worth at least fifty yuan or even nearly a hundred yuan, will be distributed to nearly a hundred employees. The total value has exceeded five thousand yuan.

Especially for people like Han Lifen who are not fully aware of the capital savings status of the site, in fact, the internal account shows that the amount of cash that can be directly used and the amount of internal welfare subsidies is close to 60,000!

Zhao Qi, the actual ** of the station, has a deeper understanding of this, especially after the funds were recovered from the sale of second-hand equipment. He was shocked by the huge amount! He used to think that the 1,000 yuan per month for the staff's meals was a large amount; but with the extra profit in front of him, those expenses were nothing.

Ye Chuan picked up the list and took a look at it, then said to Zhao Ji, "Old Zhao, give each male colleague five more boxes of Daqianmen, and each female colleague one more bottle of vanishing cream."

Zhao Ji usually only bought a pack of Daqianmen to smoke during the Chinese New Year. When he heard this, he immediately smiled. For a person who is addicted to smoking, this high-quality cigarette is indeed irresistible.

The most important thing besides the welfare items is of course the bonus. The bonus cannot be paid directly from the emergency fund, but part of it will be allocated from above, sponsored by the manufacturer, and part of it will be calculated as performance commission. Even so, the person with the highest bonus can get at least one month's salary, and the minimum amount is not less than ten yuan. For everyone, this bonus is enough for them to spend a comfortable Spring Festival.

After the news spread in the afternoon, the staff of the entire mall were so excited that they almost shouted out loud. The hard work of several days disappeared in an instant, and all the fatigue and hard work became insignificant when they thought about receiving these extra supplies.

However, the New Year's promotion is still ongoing and the total amount of bonuses has not yet been finalized. Even so, everyone remains optimistic that they will receive a generous year-end bonus.

Time unknowingly came to the weekend again. Ye Chuan made an exception and stayed in bed for a while longer. He didn't wake up until after ten o'clock in the afternoon.

The warm sunlight shone through the window, sprinkled on his bed sheets, and the whole bedroom was bathed in the unique warmth of winter. Because he didn't have to rush to the company for classes, his wife Tong Yao spent more time on their daughter. Most of the housework at home was done by Liu Yue.
