The Great Era of Siheyuan

After leaving the steel mill, Li Wenqiang headed straight for the Beimo Factory. As soon as the familiar tricycle arrived at the factory gate, the security guard at the gate immediately let him pass.

"Director Liu, I'm so sorry. I had something important to do yesterday and I really didn't have time to come over. I forgot to tell you! I heard from Director Li that you wanted to see me. What's the matter?"

As soon as Li Wenqiang arrived at Liu Qinghua's office, he began to apologize very sincerely, and then sat on the sofa casually.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. I agree to the conditions you mentioned, but I can only give you one car at most. As long as you get the things, I'll fulfill the promise immediately."

Liu Qinghua was very angry when he saw him pretending, but he had to rely on him to solve his problem, which made him even more unhappy.

"So little? That's fine. What do you want? We're old friends. I won't cheat you. Vegetables are one dollar a pound. There's no coarse grains. Fine grains are two dollars. Meat is five dollars!"

Li Wenqiang smiled and gave him a price to see what he would choose.

"Change them all to pumpkins!"

Liu Qinghua was actually very tempted when he heard about the fine grains and meat, but after thinking about it, he decided that pumpkin was more cost-effective. Those things that cost two or five yuan per pound did not meet the actual needs of their factory at all, so he had to give up reluctantly.

"I knew you would choose this. Wait for me and I'll send it to you right away."

Li Wenqiang left after saying this. Just send it over and give it to me! It's just a matter of making one more trip.

Looking at Li Wenqiang's back as he left, Liu Qinghua really wanted to call him back, but he couldn't save face. This time he finally understood that Li Wenqiang was deliberately taking revenge on him for not giving him the car last time, so he didn't want to trade with him anymore.

After running back and forth twice and unloading the pumpkins into the cafeteria, Li Wenqiang finally got the purchase document information of the second car from Liu Qinghua.

"This time the total is over 1,300 kilograms. I won't ask you for the extra money. If you need more next time, you're welcome to come to me again!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang left with a smile.

Liu Qinghua could do nothing about him unless he deliberately called the police and accused Li Wenqiang of speculating in grain and undermining the unified purchase and sale.

However, he has the steel mill behind him, and Li Huaide values ​​him very much. Even if he really wants to cause trouble for him, it is estimated that nothing will be done in the end.

Liu Qinghua sighed and could only admit that he was unlucky. If he had promised him a car, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this. I heard that the price of grain on the black market has started to rise again. Although he didn't need to buy grain on the black market, the higher-ups wouldn't allocate any good grain to him.

Recently, we received a notice requiring us to continue reducing the consumption of staple food and replace part of the staple food with vegetables as much as possible to prepare for the upcoming disasters. This shows that the food gap has further widened.

Spring wheat will not be harvested until next month, and rice will not be harvested until July. During this period of food shortage, we have to live frugally and work together to overcome the difficulties.

Li Wenqiang didn't care about that. What he cared about was that he finally got the car. He would write a contract to rent the car and the house to Hongxing Yijian at a "suitable price" so that they would not be so conspicuous.

He called someone from the factory to help him drive the bike directly to Fuxue Hutong. He would leave the bike here for now, and after May Day, he would ask people there if they knew how to ride a bike. In the future, the bike would be used to transport materials, and with a trailer at the back, it would not be a problem to pull one or two tons on flat ground.

"Thank you, Master. Take care!"

"Need not!"

After everyone left, Li Wenqiang carefully carried the motorcycle into the yard. Next time, he would make sure Chen Weijie and the others remove the threshold at the door as it was too much of a nuisance.

The three sisters heard the noise outside the door and hurried out. They just happened to see Li Wenqiang pushing and pulling the cart, and they all wanted to run over to help.

"Why are you pushing this car in here? Let me help you!"

Xiao Huilan said with concern.

"No, I'll just leave it here for a while. After May Day, someone will come over to clean up the house. I'll move you to the back so as not to disturb you."

Li Wenqiang laughed.

"Just make the arrangements, we'll all listen to you!"

Xiao Huilan said embarrassedly that the experiences of the past few days made them feel a little at a loss, but life was much better than before. Every meal had meat, vegetables and fine grains, allowing them to eat as much as they wanted. This was something they had never dared to think about before, and the knot in their hearts naturally passed. After all, they were sisters, so they should be together, which was better than starving to death.

"I happen to have some time today, so I'll take you around for a walk so you can get familiar with the place first, so you don't get lost later."

Feeling that there was nothing to do today, Li Wenqiang smiled at them.

"Okay, okay! I've been sitting here for two days and I'm so bored!"

When Xiaoxue heard that they were going out to play, her eyes immediately lit up and she immediately supported it.

"Would this be too much trouble for you?"

Xiao Huilan said this hesitantly.

"It's no trouble at all. You are all my women, and this is what I should do! I have some receipts here, and I don't know what they are. Take a look at them and buy whatever you want. Don't be reluctant to spend money. If you don't have any, just tell me and spend it boldly."

Li Wenqiang took out all the tickets that Li Huaide had given him. These tickets had time limits, and it would be a waste if they were not used.

"Isn't this bad? You've already given us enough!"

Xiao Huilan still held on to her previous small peasant mentality and spoke hesitantly.

"Sister, just accept it! There are still many things to buy at home! What if we don't have the ticket? We don't have the grain book and receipt issued by the higher-ups."

Xiaoyu spoke up to persuade him.

"Speaking of this grain certificate, do you want me to help you transfer your household registration to the city? If you want, I'll help you tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Li Wenqiang asked for their opinions.

"Can we all?"

Now even Xiao Huilan was a little excited. The words "urban household registration" meant something very important. It was a guarantee of food. No matter what happened to you, you would have food every month and you would not starve to death.

"Of course, it's easy for me!"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

As long as you pay enough, Chen Guoxin from the Household Registration Department can get it done for you on the same day. He will pay you and get you the goods at the same time, without cheating anyone.

"That's great, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Xiao Huilan was so excited that she almost cried. The other two were in the same mood. They never dreamed that one day they would be able to go from being a peasant to a city dweller.

"Isn't it easy to repay me? You guys are like this..."

Li Wenqiang said with a wicked smile.

"Hmm~!"

The three sisters looked at each other and responded shyly.
