Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Director Tang was deeply moved by this. This guy is so dedicated!

Fatty Han turned his head and glanced at Ye Chuan. Although he was alert in his heart, it was not obvious on the surface. This guy was always so convincing that he almost got fooled. "Xiao Ye, just stay in the store and help! No one will gossip about you. Take a rest when you are tired. I have arranged everything." Director Tang patted his chest and said with a loud voice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Chuan responded, "How about this, Director? We'll go out to collect the waste in the morning and stay to help you in the afternoon. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Great! You two have worked hard!" Director Tang was very moved. With such positive and hardworking employees, how could the business outlet not flourish?

After they waited for more than an hour, it was finally time to get off work.

Ye Chuan took the chubby teacher Han to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now that he is no longer short of money, he naturally won't treat himself badly.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the member cooperative, he heard a familiar voice. "Comrade, my egg ticket may have been accidentally dropped when I was taking something just now.

"Can you sell me some eggs first? I'll come back tomorrow to pay you back, okay?" a voice pleaded anxiously. It was a female voice that Ye Chuan was very familiar with. "They all said they were lost. Do I have to sell eggs to whoever I meet who lost them? If you disappear, where can I find you?" The ticket seller seemed to be struggling over whether to sell. "Comrade, please believe me, I am a teacher at Red Star Primary School, and I will make up the eggs tomorrow night." The female voice assured again firmly. "That won't work. You can only buy them if you have an egg ticket!" the ticket seller answered without compromise.

When Ye Chuan walked into the members' cooperative, he happened to see an anxious girl rummaging through clothes.

The team members were getting impatient. "Teacher Tong?" Ye Chuan called softly. Tong Yao looked up and saw him. Her cheeks flushed. She felt embarrassed to be discovered in such a situation.

Ye Chuan often came to the cooperative and was familiar with the employees there. They were all people who worked together, so they quickly established a good relationship.

Seeing that Ye Chuan was familiar with the girl, the ticket seller softened his tone a little: "Although I know where you work, we still have to follow the rules for these eggs. We have to count the inventory after get off work."

Ye Chuan walked up to Tong Yao, took her arm and led her aside from the line, and said to the ticket seller kindly, "Sister, go and do your thing." Tong Yao's cheeks flushed as her arm was pulled, and she felt both shy and grateful. "Teacher Tong, can't you find your egg ticket?" Ye Chuan asked with concern.

Tong Yao nodded, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, because that was the family's food coupons for one month. It was clearly in her pocket at school, but she could not find any trace of it when she arrived at the cooperative.

Ye Chuan stored one or two hundred eggs in his private space, but he couldn't give them to Tong Yao in front of everyone.

So, he took her quietly to a secluded corner behind the club. "Where are you going?" Tong Yao asked softly. "To buy eggs." Ye Chuan replied with a smile. "Can...can you let me go first?" Tong Yao's face became even redder. She was still holding Ye Chuan's hand. She could feel the warmth from his palm, which made her a little flustered. "Ah...that, sorry." Ye Chuan quickly retracted his hand and smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Han Lifen, who was drinking water at the back of the members' cooperative, saw two people enter the door, followed by a very beautiful girl.

Han Lifen, the elder sister (her nickname), heard them talking about eggs and hurriedly put down her water cup. "Elder sister, I want to ask you to buy some eggs." Ye Chuan was already familiar with Han Lifen, so he called her like Fatty. "How many do you need? I can't give you too much today, it's almost not enough to sell!" Han Lifen said, glancing at the little girl standing next to her.

Ye Chuan turned to Tong Yao and asked, "How much do you want?"

After stuttering for a while, Tong Yao responded: "But I don't have an egg ticket..."

"No problem, just tell me the amount of eggs you need." Han Lifen raised her eyebrows slightly, and laughed in her heart. Ye Chuan spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, as if he was the boss of the cooperative. "Then three pounds will do." Tong Yao replied, obviously hesitant. "Change it to five!" Ye Chuan immediately raised his voice.

Han Lifen pretended to be surprised and laughed: "You little brat, are you going to treat the cooperative as your own backyard?"

Ye Chuan put on a humble smile and said, "Sister, she is my friend. The egg coupons are missing. I hope you can help her." In fact, Han Lifen was just joking and didn't intend to embarrass them.

Without further thought, Han Lifen immediately began to calculate: "Little girl, five pounds of eggs, a total of two dollars and five cents."

Hearing this, Tong Yao was stunned to find that the transaction could be done without chicken tickets.

She immediately paid the two dollars and fifty cents she had.

After receiving the money, Han Lifen immediately went to the counter to collect the eggs. "Ye Chuan, thank you." Tong Yao whispered, with deep gratitude in her eyes. "Do you still remember my name?" Ye Chuan asked happily, feeling extremely happy.

Tong Yao nodded shyly in agreement. Ye Chuan left a very vivid impression on her. His poems and songs were easy to come by, showing his high attainments in ancient literature. "I bought you eggs. Shouldn't you thank me?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile on his face. "Then, how should I thank you?" Tong Yao felt embarrassed.

Although Ye Chuan wanted to joke about offering his body to her, in the 1960s and 1970s, this was already on the edge of being vulgar. "Why don't you let me ask you for a chance to have dinner!" he suggested.

Tong Yao was surprised, and the slight blush on her face instantly spread to her neck.

Fatty Han rolled his eyes in the back, wondering how Brother Ye could be attracted to this type of girl. She was obviously weak and not a laborer. "Is it okay?" Ye Chuan whispered softly, looking forward to her answer.

Tong Yao was not really stupid and understood what Ye Chuan meant.

She looked up at Ye Chuan, then agreed softly: "Okay."

"Great!" Ye Chuan was so happy that he seemed to be able to fly, and then asked, "When are you free?"

"It should be possible tomorrow." Tong Yao's heart beat faster and her face became redder.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chuan suggested: "How about I wait for you at the school gate tomorrow and then go home together after get off work?"

Tong Yao nodded nervously. Han Lifen happened to come in and received the eggs. Tong Yao thanked her and then hurriedly left the cooperative.

Seeing Ye Chuan's reluctant look, Han Lifen smiled and said, "Don't be like that, they've all left.

Chuan'er, it would be good for your Dazhuang to find a suitable partner."

The fat man said disdainfully: "I don't want this kind of thing, it's delicate and can't do anything."

Ye Chuan chuckled: "Then what kind of person do you hope to find?"

"Eat a lot! Be able to work! And be able to give birth!" Fatty Han directly expressed his thoughts, causing Han Lifen and Ye Chuan to smile bitterly.

I didn't expect this kid's requirements to be so different. According to his selection criteria, those weighing less than 150 kilograms will probably not be considered. "Chuan, what do you want to buy?"

"Sister, I want to buy some ribs, do you have any?"

When Han Lifen heard the word "spare ribs", she was stunned. This was the first time she took the initiative to ask to buy spare ribs.

Nowadays, people prefer lean meat in their diet, and less oily meat such as spareribs is almost ignored.

Although the ribs were tasty, they were not greasy enough.

The fat man rushed to say: "Brother, why buy spare ribs? You're not satisfied with eating them!" His curiosity about Ye Chuan was obviously not just about the spare ribs.

Ye Chuan explained with a smile: "My taste is different."

Han Lifen was eager to find a buyer to take over the ribs problem, and soon brought back a big bag. After Ye Chuan paid her the fee and thanked her, he left with the fat man.

The next morning, after clocking in, the employees did not rush to their work stations.

On payday, everyone looks happy.

After working hard for a month, they have been waiting for this moment.

There are only about thirty people at their work station, and it only takes more than twenty minutes to collect their salary.

Everyone gathered at the door of the finance office and waited in line.

At this time of month, the regional company's finance department will personally visit each business location to distribute the previous month's salary.

Mr. Tang, the financial manager, sat in the office, assisting in the payment of wages.

As he scanned the payroll, he saw a man's name and his mouth dropped open in disbelief.

Everyone at the business point has a monthly salary of 30 yuan, which will be increased to 38.6 yuan for those with eight years of service, but no one else has more than eight years of service.

As a leader, he was the only one who enjoyed the cadre salary of 43 yuan per month, while others had to consider their salary as subsidies.

For example, Deputy Director Tan also has a basic salary of 300 yuan, but he receives a subsidy of 6 yuan, which can basically cover a person's basic living expenses for a month.

The first person on the list was the financial manager Tang, with a total salary of more than 60 yuan, which was a symbol of high salary in that era.

It also includes subsidies and bonuses. "Tan Jianye, salary 33 yuan, plus subsidies 6 yuan, bonus 3 yuan." The accountant reported the salaries one by one and read them aloud.

Deputy Director Mr. Tan stepped forward with a smile and took the total of 42 yuan, which was not a small amount for him.

After the salaries were paid, only two people were left unmentioned. They were the two with the lowest qualifications - Han Pang and Ye Chuan. "Han Dazhuang, salary is 33 yuan, subsidy is 302 yuan, and bonus is an astonishing yuan!" The finance's words surprised everyone. Such a high amount of bonus is really scary.

This grand prize was entirely due to the two large trucks. Everyone thought Ye Chuan would take it all, but they didn't expect that he would give part of it to Han Pang.

For everyone, this is real money. If it were me, would I also give the 300 yuan to Han Pang?

Three thousand yuan! This is equal to their total salary for ten months!

Fatty Han was stunned. He only expected the bonus to be 300 or yuan, but he didn't expect it to be as much as yuan.

This made his expression freeze instantly.

Director Tang's eyes were full of approval for Ye Chuan. If he embezzled the money, no one would be qualified to say anything.

From this distribution, we can see that Ye Chuan is a man of integrity.

Fat Han was not a person who was greedy for bargains. At first he firmly refused, but when he could no longer shirk his responsibility, he finally asked Director Tang to help him allocate one third of the money.

As the room full of envious eyes stared, he walked up and collected the total of 337 yuan.

Surprisingly, he took out 37 yuan and put it in his trouser pocket, and handed the remaining 300 yuan directly to Ye Chuan. "Brother Ye, I really can't accept so much money!" said Han Pang in a heavy voice.

Ye Chuan's mouth corners raised. Han Pang wanted to share the bonus with him, which showed that Han Pang had extremely high emotional intelligence and would not ask for things that did not belong to him.

He gently returned it, "Fatty, this is not the end, just take it! There will be many opportunities to make money in the future!"

"But..." Fatty Han wanted to say something more, but was interrupted. "What are you talking about? Take it quickly, or don't follow me anymore!" Ye Chuan was half-seriously angry. "Okay, then thank you, Brother Ye!" Fatty Han was moved by his serious look, accepted the money, and decided to repay Ye Chuan in the future. No difficulties could hinder his determination!

Then it was the turn to report: "Ye Chuan, salary is 22 yuan, subsidy is 1 yuan, and bonus is as high as 5 yuan!" Hearing this, the financial staff also took a deep breath, feeling jealous.

The entire accounting office was in an uproar. You have to know that this was an era when the average monthly salary was only 30 or 40 yuan per person. You can imagine how much braised pork could be bought with more than 600 yuan.

What is even more surprising is that Ye Chuan had only been employed for less than a month and had not yet received a full month's salary, but he already had such a generous bonus.

He himself was a little surprised, but he appeared calm and walked straight forward, took out 625.5 yuan and put it in his pocket.

Fatty Han gave him a thumbs up and praised him, “Great!”

Deputy Director Tan felt as if he was being stared at by a fly. In comparison, he had to fight desperately for his little extra subsidy; on the other hand, this young man didn't care about the six or seven hundred yuan at all.

Director Tang thought, this month's high bonus has been the center of discussion, wouldn't it be even more amazing next month? This 600 yuan bonus is only part of the proceeds from selling more than ten tons of waste.

The rewards for recycling yesterday's steel mill scrap have not yet been paid.

According to predictions, unless there are any changes, it is almost certain that this guy's salary and bonus combined will exceed one thousand yuan next month, and may even exceed two thousand yuan.

Everyone was still in shock, talking in low voices, expressing their feelings, and disbelief written on their faces. "Okay, stop chatting and get to work!" Director Tang shouted at everyone.

The crowd that had gathered to chat gradually dispersed, and everyone rode out on their tricycles.

Ye Chuan and the fat brother Han also pushed their bicycles out, but they did not start working immediately. Instead, they wandered around and stopped in front of a courtyard house.

Fatty Han was not so cautious. Holding more than 300 yuan in his hand, he felt uneasy. He decided to ride his tricycle to take the money home first.

They passed by a row of bright red brick residential buildings, and the flower beds downstairs were colorful and beautiful. "Fatty, take a break there today!" Ye Chuan said as he rode on a tricycle with signs that said "Collecting Scrap" and "Collecting Electrical Appliances".

Sitting on the flower bed, Ye Chuan smoked while concentrating on observing the system in his mind.
