Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

"The deputy director does not have a professional title. His salary is similar to that of ordinary employees, with only a small amount of extra subsidies. He is a newcomer who has only been employed for a few months. How can he have a professional title?" Director Yu asked in confusion. "Because he developed this alarm clock for the Second Electronic Factory, he was specially hired as a technical consultant and enjoys the salary and benefits of a national second-level official." Chen Xiangdong explained.

This makes it clearer!

The two directors now understood that this was the biggest reason why Director Chen visited them today, and it was also the main reason why Ye Chuan could work part-time at business points and grassroots cooperatives.

He has talent, a position worthy of the title, and real business achievements, and is fully qualified to serve as two directors in the same region at the same time. "Mr. Chen, in principle I agree with this, but we still need to discuss it in a group meeting.

I will inform you once a decision is made." Director Yu said.

At this time, Director Hong continued, "Director Yu, didn't you say that the working methods of grassroots cooperatives need to be reformed? It just so happens that Ye Chuan has the corresponding ideas and execution capabilities. Why not let him take over the point and community he manages as an experimental area and let him try and see if there is any innovation."

This suggestion made Director Yu's eyes light up. If the effect is ideal, it will be an honor for Ye Chuan; if it fails, it is just a mistake of youth and will not cause too big a problem.

He replied, “Okay, good idea!”

Chen Xiangdong has worked with the two for many years and can see the expectation in their eyes. He knows that they are looking forward to an excellent result.

Although Chen Xiangdong wanted to verify Ye Chuan's ability, he did not expose it directly.

At this time, Ye Chuan had not yet realized that he was about to be controlled by someone.

He looked at the piles of used electrical appliances and felt quite worried.

Since the last incident, Xia Zhongyuan and Liu Jun have kept a much lower profile to avoid repeating the same mistake.

Among the scraps, nearly two hundred electrical appliances were mostly radios and fans, with a few flashlights.

Unable to take care of so many things for the time being, Ye Chuan put away these old things and put them into the system space.

I plan to do some basic repairs on a batch of electrical appliances in the near future and then take a look at the sales of second-hand home appliances in the market.

Just after leaving the warehouse, chef Luo Aimin ran towards him and said, "Director, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some ingredients, but I don't have enough coupons to buy meat. Director Hu asked you to find a chance to go over and sign."

Nodding in agreement, Ye Chuan asked, "Master Luo, what would you like to eat for lunch today?"

Luo Aimin smiled and said, "Braised pork elbow, one for each person, weighing about three or four pounds, one for me and Aunt Zhang." He was referring to the other kitchen helper.

Mentioning this, Ye Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: As soon as he said this, he guaranteed that the lunch would be rich enough, and Master Luo seemed to want to use this opportunity to test the cooking methods of meat.

It is true that outsiders find it difficult to understand the daily necessities of life at home.

Today, Luo Aimin is in good shape and has the demeanor of a great chef.

Everyone at the business site was a little bit fatter. They could enjoy the meat dishes in the cafeteria at will. They had enough fat in their stomachs and were full of energy to work. "I understand. Go get busy!" Ye Chuan waved his hand tiredly.

Although Luo Aimin spares no expense in cooking, his cooking skills have improved rapidly over the past few months, and the taste of his food has improved a lot compared to when he first came.

Instead of returning to the office, Ye Chuan sat at a table in the cafeteria and pondered.

At this moment, he remembered a new idea: in his memory of his previous life, he had seen his grandmother install a power assist device when using a sewing machine to make the work easier.

Just a foot tap will start the machine.

The technical content of this auxiliary device is not high. The core is just a small motor. It is easy to implement and even less difficult than an ordinary alarm clock.

Once the watch industry stabilizes, launching an electric drive device for sewing machines will become another advantage of the factory.

Before they knew it, the clock was about to hit 11:30 p.m., and the strong aroma of meat filled the entire cafeteria, and even Ye Chuan couldn't help swallowing his saliva. "Ah, it smells so good!" The employees returned to the cafeteria one after another, and were stunned by the aroma as soon as the door opened.

Although they eat a lot of meat and fish every day and their stomachs are full of oil, the aroma of the mellow braised pork still makes their mouths water.

After finishing work, Ye Chuan rode his tricycle out of the unit and went to the department store on the first floor to buy a sewing machine.

This was one of the four must-have items for a wedding, but he had no intention of sharing it with Tong Yao, as it was obvious that her hands had never touched a sewing machine.

Although it is not purchased for myself, I can leave it for my mother to use.

For many years, sewing at home has been done by hand, but with this machine it will be much easier.

The department store employees helped to lift it, and all the necessary items for the wedding were available.

The storage box system already has a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, fan, radio, record player and vacuum cleaner. In this era, these appliances alone are enough to support your face.

The wedding candies for receiving the marriage certificate have been purchased, but after thinking for a long time, it seems that there is nothing more to buy.

On the way home, the snow on the road was quite deep, so he rode slowly.

When approaching the entrance of the alley, he took out two televisions from the system and put them in the truck bed, one was an imported twelve-inch color TV, and the other was an imported twelve-inch black-and-white TV.

The home's decoration was once sorted out because Ye Chuan insisted on decluttering. All the items that were no longer useful were thrown away, and some that might be useful were kept. The room now looks tidy and full of new furniture.

Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun felt very distressed about this, but considering their son's firm belief, they felt it made sense.

There is no point in keeping things that have not been used for years. Even if it hurts, just forget about them after some time.

After parking the tricycle in front of the courtyard, Ye Chuan went to find Ma Jianshe and his father to help carry the goods.

Sure enough, as a worker in a moving company, Ye Yongshun had mastered the tricks of lightweight carrying and easily carried the sewing machine into the house with one hand.

Ye Chuan and Ma Jianshe followed behind, each carrying a carefully hidden television.

The TV is tightly covered and nothing can be seen; but the sewing machine does not need to be hidden, its huge body is clearly revealed without any packaging.

In the traditional Chinese social atmosphere, amid people's envious eyes, the sewing machine was moved into the home. Qin Huairu stared at the machine intently, almost unable to control her excitement.

When they got married, bicycles were their first choice, followed by this sewing machine. Although Jia Dongxu was poor, he promised to buy one as soon as possible. But now, several years have passed, and Jia Dongxu is so injured that he can't even afford a sewing machine for his own use. "Humph, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! You get carried away after having a little money!" Jia Zhang's eyes were full of jealousy.

Jia Dongxu, who saw this scene through the window, had a gloomy face, as black as coal. He compared his life with that of his own family - he had married a beautiful bride and became the housekeeper of the yard, and now he could buy a sewing machine. He couldn't help but ask himself sadly, why could he only lie in bed forever?

"What's so good about it!" He interrupted Qin Huairu mercilessly. "Can't I even take a look?" Qin Huairu's voice was full of grievance. "Do you regret marrying me? Do you want to marry into the Ye family?" Jia Dongxu sneered. "How can you talk like that!" Qin Huairu had complaints in her heart. She also wanted to replace Tong Yao, and lamented the gap between the happy family atmosphere and the harsh mother-in-law.

A sewing machine can cause such a commotion. If there were two televisions, I'm afraid the whole courtyard would be in an uproar.

Although Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao all have sewing machines and don't feel too much about it, they don't have luxuries like televisions at home.

At that time, only wealthy families had televisions, so it was hard for them to imagine the scene of Ye Chuan and Ma Jianshe walking in with a television in their arms.

After moving the items in, Ma Jianshe left to work overtime.

The night work brought him extra pay, and the family's financial situation was alleviated. "Jianshe..." Ye Chuan stopped Ma Jianshe who was about to leave and handed him a pack of cigarettes.

Although Ma Jianshe was a little embarrassed when he took the cigarette, he couldn't hide his joy and accepted it. He asked, "What do you want, Brother Ye?"

Ye Chuan ordered: "Tell my friends in Zhongyuan to keep an eye out for opportunities to sell meat."

After getting a positive answer, Ye Chuan nodded and sent Ma Jianshe out. On the way home, he saw his parents looking at him absentmindedly and asked in confusion: "Mom and Dad, why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with my face?"

Liu Yue pointed at the TV and said in a trembling voice: "Chuan'er, is this a TV?"

Ye Chuan smiled and confirmed: "Yes, a twelve-inch imported TV."

Ye Yongshun said worriedly: "Do you know what you are doing, Chuanzi? You are young and energetic, don't do anything illegal!"

Hearing this, Liu Yue rebuked her husband for his nonsense, slapped him, and then comforted her son: "Chuan'er, you don't need to explain, I believe it's not like that."

Then Ye Chuan sat on the chair, picked up his father's teacup and drank several sips of water, and explained: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I found it.

But there's only one color TV left, so you guys have to make do with black and white. I'm sorry."

Ye Chuan's light-hearted joke did not make the two of them laugh. They no longer dared to hope to get a TV.

Liu Yue asked with concern: "How much does this cost, Chuan'er?"

"Mom, don't worry, just put the sewing machine in your room." Ye Chuan pointed at the sewing machine again. "How can this be? Let Yaoyao use the sewing machine. I'll use a bigger one when it's convenient for you."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively. The radio, electric fan and alarm clock, which were originally there, were now all available in the house.

Liu Yue sighed: "Ye Yongshun, have you ever thought that one day our family would be so good?" Ye Yongshun was also ecstatic. His previous wish was just to fill his stomach. He didn't expect that since his son got involved in the waste recycling business, his home would be completely renewed. Not only did he have a sewing machine, but he also had a TV. He also bought a bicycle and became an old man that everyone envied.

The next night, Ye Chuan returned with another fully loaded tricycle.

Ye Yongshun and Liu Yue were even more surprised by what he found this time: washing machines, refrigerators, and even machines they had never heard of or seen before. One of them had a long pipe, and they didn't even recognize what it was.
