Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

This whole institute meeting made Yi Zhonghai lose all his dignity and face.

The ace thug was beaten and hospitalized, and his wife went to help take care of him. Even when he pretended to ask Liu Guangfu to call the police, he didn't know how someone found out.

In short, this action against Zhou Jin caused Yi Zhonghai to suffer heavy losses, his prestige suffered an unprecedented blow, and his high income that he had hidden for many years was also exposed.

There will definitely be a lot of people coming to borrow money later. I have been earning a high income for so many years, but I eat the same food and live the same life as others, and I even dare to buy a bicycle.

It's just that he's worried about showing off his wealth. Yi Zhonghai knows who lives in this yard. If other people really know about his high income, they will definitely find ways to borrow money from him.

Now he doesn't have to worry. The persona he had built up over the years has been exposed by Zhou Jin. Yi Zhonghai is really regretting it now. Why did he believe Yan Bugui's words at that time? If he had been more patient, he wouldn't have caused so many troubles.

In that case, his silly pillar will be fine, and his poor persona will still stand.

Now, not only has he failed to deal with Zhou Jin, but he has to be busy dealing with those people who come to borrow money.

In the next few days, everyone in the yard was thinking about how to get money from Yi Zhonghai, and no one came to bother Zhou Jin anymore.

In their eyes, Yi Zhonghai, a man with a family of no descendants, must be easier to deal with than Zhou Jin. Moreover, Zhou Jin was really ruthless. The key point was that he beat people up but nothing happened to him. This made everyone feel a little afraid of Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin had a few days of peaceful life. Every day, he either helped Master Lei decorate the house or went to the surrounding villages to see if he could receive anything.

Because the villages around Sijiu City have fixed buyers to collect supplies, Zhou Jin has been going to more distant villages during this period, and may only visit one or two villages a day.

And there is basically nothing to buy, at most you can get some dried goods and eggs.

But it doesn’t matter to Zhou Jin. Something is better than nothing. Zhou Jin doesn’t rely on them for a living anyway.

Friday came quickly and the house was finally renovated. Now only some finishing work was left. I could finally move into the new house and no longer have to sleep on the floor in one room today and in another room tomorrow.

Although the house has been renovated, there is still nothing in it. I have to find time to buy furniture, pots and pans, and firewood, rice, oil and salt.

But tomorrow is Friday, and I have to go to the factory on Saturday to hand in this week's purchasing tasks, so buying furniture can only wait until the weekend, which happens to be my day off.

Because the amount of supplies that needed to be handed in this time was quite large, Zhou Jin originally planned to borrow the cart next door, but when he saw the pile of rice, flour and pork in the house, Zhou Jin decisively gave up this idea.

He went straight to the factory to find Liu Jun for help. Finally, after coordination, Zhou Jin drove a truck back to the courtyard.

This shocked all the aunties. This was a truck. They had never even ridden a bicycle before, and Zhou Jin actually came back driving a truck.

Zhou Jin didn't pay any attention to these aunties. He just started moving things from home into the car.

As a result, when these aunties saw the bags of rice, bags of flour, and slices of pork, their eyes widened.

You know, although we haven’t reached the most difficult three years yet, the situation is not much better. Many people can only eat meat a few times a year, and many things are completely unavailable.

So it was impossible for them not to have any thoughts when seeing Zhou Jin taking out so many things, but everyone was afraid of Zhou Jin's fist.

Moreover, Zhou Jin dared to take out so many materials so blatantly, so they must be purchased for the steel rolling mill. Even if they had great courage, they would not dare to think of taking these materials.

But this is of course the idea of ​​ordinary people, but those who are interested have started to calculate in their minds, but this is of course a story for later.

After Zhou Jin loaded all the supplies into the car, he went home to check again. After confirming that nothing was left out, he locked the door, walked out of the courtyard and drove directly back to the steel rolling mill.

Zhou Jin drove the car directly to the side of the warehouse, and then waited for the warehouse manager to unload and weigh the goods.

Maybe it had been a long time since they had seen so many good things, the porters worked very hard, and all the supplies worth 1,800 yuan were unloaded in less than ten minutes.

The next step was for the warehouse manager to sort and weigh the materials. The whole process took about twenty minutes. Of course, this was all thanks to Zhou Jin who had sorted them and packed them in bags in advance.

The warehouse manager confirmed the material list one last time, and after confirming that it was correct, he gave Zhou Jin a note and put all the materials into the warehouse.

Zhou Jin took the note and went to report to the section chief, and then went to the Finance Department to settle the required money and bills.

Most buyers would first go to the factory to get money and invoices, then go to purchase, and then return to the factory to hand in the materials after purchasing them. However, because Zhou Jin purchased a large quantity each time, he felt it was too troublesome to follow the factory's standards, so he applied to the section chief to pay first, bring the money back to the factory in one go, and settle the payment in one go.

After finishing everything, Zhou Jin returned to the purchasing department chief's office, and Liu Jun was already waiting for him.

Zhou Jin handed the list directly to Liu Jun.

When Liu Jun took the list and looked at it, the smile on his face became even more intense. He thought he had found a talented person this time and he would not be scolded by the factory director in the future.

"Xiao Zhou, this is great. I heard that you have completed all the unfinished tasks of your three groups this month. That's really amazing."

"Brother Liu, I just arrived at the purchasing department. I am not familiar with the people in the team, and this is the last week. I will help if I can. Of course, it is only this time. It can be regarded as a greeting gift to them.

I also want to use this opportunity to see the abilities and personalities of the people in the group, which will also make it easier for me to carry out my work later."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, the factory leaders are capable and have good vision."

"This month, under your leadership, all the purchasing tasks of your three groups have been completed. This is your group's purchasing task for next week, so I will give it to you in advance. You can arrange it as you see fit."

"Okay, Brother Liu, I'll go to the finance office first."

"Okay, we must keep up the good work."

After Zhou Jin left the office, he went to the finance office, took out the note from the warehouse manager, and soon received the money and tickets, 1,800 yuan and the corresponding food and meat coupons.

Then Zhou Jin left the steel mill and went home. Today was Friday, and he had promised He Yushui last week that he would pick her up from school.

I don’t know what she would think if she knew that her brother was beaten by me again. And this time, Sha Zhu was beaten by me and was hospitalized. I don’t know if he has been discharged from the hospital.

But it’s still early now, so let’s go home first.

As soon as Zhou Jin entered the backyard, he saw Master Lei and others doing the finishing work outside the house. He went into the house and took a look around. Master Lei was indeed the successor of Yangshi Lei. His skills were really amazing.

So he asked them to take a rest first, poured them some water, took out the remaining two hundred yuan to pay the balance, and then took out three packs of Daqianmen and handed them to the three masters.

This made Master Lei and the other two very excited. It was the first time they had met such a generous and easy-going employer. Looking at the cigarettes handed to them, they refused several times but finally accepted it.

Zhou Jin then followed Master Lei to clean up, and finally finished all three rooms before lunch. After Master Lei gave some instructions, he took the toolbox and left.

Zhou Jin looked at the newly renovated home and was very satisfied. Then he pushed his bicycle out, locked the door, and went out to find something to eat.

Although the house had been furnished, except for a new kang and a fully equipped toilet, everything else was bare. There was no bed in the bedroom, no desk in the study, and no pots and pans in the kitchen.

I have to buy all these. I guess I will be busy shopping this weekend.

Zhou Jin rode his bike out of the courtyard and first found a good restaurant to have lunch.

Then I rode my bike to the supply and marketing cooperative and went to the furniture store first. I thought that since the house had already been renovated, I might as well buy the furniture all at once to avoid the trouble later.

So Zhou Jin directly chose a set of 72 legs. (In the 1950s and 1960s, wooden furniture was calculated by legs. The 72 legs included double beds, wardrobes, coffee tables, sofas, chests of drawers, high and low cabinets, dining tables and chairs.)

It just so happened that this set of furniture was in stock and could be taken away immediately without having to wait any longer. This was very suitable for Zhou Jin's current situation.

Then I went to buy bedding such as quilts and sheets, kitchen supplies such as pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and cleaning supplies such as towels and toothpaste. It took me almost two hours to finally buy everything.

Because there were so many things, Zhou Jin hired three porters to transport them back to the courtyard.

As soon as Zhou Jin and his three friends arrived at the courtyard, they saw that the gatekeeper had been replaced by three aunts instead of the third uncle. Zhou Jin just greeted them.

Then, he and Wobo started to move things. For the sake of convenience, Zhou Jin paid each Wobo double the price to help move all the furniture into the house and put them in the positions Zhou Jin had decided in advance.

Third Aunt was standing nearby, watching and calculating how much Zhou Jin had bought this time. It must be said that Third Uncle's family had inherited his true skills. Zhou Jin had just packed up his things and came out to pay Wo Bo his wages when Third Aunt came over.

"Xiao Zhou, you got it all in one go. Seventy-two legs, plus these quilts and other things cost about six or seven hundred yuan, and you also need a lot of tickets. You are really amazing."

"Well, Third Aunt, the house has been renovated. I'm thinking about getting married and having kids in the future, so why not just move in right away to avoid the trouble of moving around later? Go ahead and do your work. I'll go home and clean up first."

Zhou Jin didn't want to bother with the three aunts. After handing the wages to Wo Bo, he went straight home. All the things had been put away, but some places still needed to be adjusted.

What the third aunt was thinking at this time was that Zhou Jin spent more than 400 yuan on decoration and 600 to 700 yuan on furniture, which is more than 1,000 yuan. His family background is quite solid. She has to talk to Old Yan about this and see how she can get the better deal from him in the future.

Zhou Jin didn't care about the third aunt's calculations. It was impossible for him to let Yan Bugui's family take advantage of him for no reason. To be honest, he hated Yan Bugui's behavior.

As a manager, it is understandable that you conceal your actual income (he has been a teacher for more than ten years and is also a class teacher, so it is impossible that his salary has not increased) to prevent others from taking notice of him.

But it is very immoral for you to take advantage of your status as the manager and guard the gate in shifts every day, trying to find ways to gain benefits from others. Although it is not a lot, it is disgusting.

Besides, who among the common people has an easy life these days? Because of your status as a superior, people dare not offend you. Even if you take away a head of garlic today and a few onions tomorrow, you can only bear it.

This behavior is like a toad crawling on your feet. It doesn't bite you, it just makes you feel disgusted.

Zhou Jin spent more than an hour tidying up the house. He was ready to cook a delicious meal to reward himself and celebrate the completion of the house decoration. But when he walked into the kitchen, he realized that he had not bought any food, including grains, meat, and vegetables.

I have to pick up He Yushui for the holiday later. If I go to the supply and marketing cooperative now, I may not be in time. And if I take the food in the space out like this, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be coveted by others.

After all, the Third Uncle's family could see clearly what Zhou Jin bought from outside, so for safety reasons, it would be better for her to take Yu Shui out for dinner. Anyway, she had promised to take her to eat roast duck last week.

It just so happens that the house was renovated today, so I took He Yushui with me and went to Quanjude to celebrate.
