Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space

Night was approaching and Chen Mu still had some gifts to deliver, so he quickly washed up and went into the room with Xiao Yun.

At this time, Xiao Yun was sitting beside the bed, quietly observing his movements.

All she heard was Chen Mu slowly taking out a box of small gifts and presenting it to her from behind: "Xiao Yun, this is my birthday present for you.

"

A gentle smile appeared in his words.

Xiao Yun's face was filled with joy when she heard this, but she was confused: "Isn't the cake tonight a gift? How come there is another one?"

“Although cakes are sweet, they cannot be confused with gifts.

"Chen Mu didn't know how to resolve the doubt for a moment.

After all, in the 21st century, it is only natural for people to distinguish between birthday cakes and gifts.

“This gift is wrapped with great care, but I still don’t know what it is.

"Xiao Yun said as she opened the box.

The highlight in the box immediately caught everyone's attention - a silver-white women's watch, reflecting an alluring luster under the light.

"Brother! This watch of yours is really worth it!" Xiao Yun seemed very surprised.

Chen Mu responded with a smile: "It's not expensive, the key is whether it suits your taste.

"Seeing that the watch on her hand matched Chen Mu's, Xiao Yun's heart was filled with warmth, "Brother, I can't buy you such an expensive gift next time.

We will have to spend money to raise a baby in the future.

"

"I understand. From now on, the family's finances will be left to you.

"Chen Mu said, touching her face gently.

As the two of them finished talking, the night grew deeper.

Another long night of silent companionship.

The next morning, Chen Mu, full of energy, got up early and prepared breakfast for his family.

Then, he rode his old bicycle to the factory to work.

Entering the restaurant, he was surprised to find that today's food supply was significantly richer, almost returning to normal during the previous period of food shortage. Chen Mu guessed that the situation might have been restored.

Considering this change in the situation, he went straight to Manager Ma's office to inquire about the situation.

"Manager Ma, why did the cafeteria deliver so much food today? Have the difficulties been overcome?" Chen Mu asked.

“I have to say that you have an accurate view of the problem. As Director Li seems to think, our factory has predicted several months ago that the situation will gradually improve.

Manager Ma responded.

“It’s just that the process of change always takes time to transition, and now should be the time when the situation is getting better.

"

"Very good.

"Chen Mu was delighted," We all suffered a lot during the food crisis.

"

“Yes, the factory is also in a difficult situation, and your purchase of supplies has really helped a lot.

Manager Ma praised.

“Manager Ma, you’re praising me too much.

"Chen Muxie said,"Then I will go prepare dinner first.

"

In the evening, Chen Mu returned home and noticed that Director Wang from the Sub-district Office was standing in the courtyard and talking with the police officers.

"Comrade Chen Mu, are you back?" The police officer greeted him immediately upon seeing him.

Chen Mu looked back and saw that it was the policeman who had asked him to make a report.

"Comrade police officer, Director Wang, are you here?" Chen Mu greeted with a happy smile.

“Young man, long time no see.

According to the police officer, you recently rescued a robbery suspect on the roadside?" Director Wang asked.

"Yeah, I almost forgot about it.

Seeing that he had a knife in his hand, I instinctively stepped forward to stop him in order to ensure that no one else would be hurt.

” Chen Mu seemed relaxed.

"Comrade Chen Mu, I have been sent by my superiors to express my gratitude to you.

Here is your certificate of honor and a 20 yuan bonus.

"The police officer said.

Seeing this, Chen Mu could only reach out and take over and thank him: "Thank you for your understanding and recognition, sir.

And this kind of action is what I should do as an ordinary person.

"

The policeman patted Chen Mu on the shoulder to show his approval.

The rare police detective's visit to the courtyard aroused curiosity and excitement among the neighbors. After a moment of silence, the neighbors quickly walked out of the house and watched the incident.

At first I thought Chen Mu was involved in some trouble and was about to face punishment.

However, when they saw the police's gentle tone and handshake towards Chen Mu, they quickly realized that Chen Mu had done another great deed.

The auntie obviously would not miss such an opportunity for honor: "What good deed did Xiaomu do again? That the sheriff sent him a bonus? It really brings honor to Siheyuan!"

“Xiao Xiaomu bravely subdued a knife-wielding robber.

It's really bravery in times of crisis.

As the old saying goes, a tiger is not like a dog. I had long expected that this child would achieve great things in the future. It was indeed good news passed down by his father.

Director Wang said with a pleased look on his face.

“This is the ten yuan change I prepared. Street affairs have always been based on the principles of fairness and transparency. This change is a token of my goodwill to you.

"

In response, Chen Mu said a little awkwardly: "I dare not accept this money, sir, please consider using it for more urgent matters.

"

Director Wang explained, “This is to encourage you to participate more in public welfare activities.

You'd better accept it.

"

Therefore, in a blink of an eye, Chen Mu earned 30 yuan.

Then, Director Wang raised his voice and said to the people around him: "Friends, I am going to tell you an important piece of good news.

"

“The country has faced food shortage challenges in recent years and people’s lives have become more difficult, but the situation is improving.

Now that the danger is about to pass, we will be able to resume normal grain purchasing activities starting next month.

"

“Don’t rush to stock up, food security is sufficient.

There is no need to rush to accumulate large amounts of supplies just in case; outdated items are a waste.

"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered loudly, as if they had been waiting for this news for a long time.

During this period, the lives of all residents in the hospital faced severe challenges. Before this, every family had been tightening their spending to cope with the shortage.

Finally there was a turning point.

Director Wang then said goodbye and left, continuing to notify the residents of the next courtyard.

When Chen Mu returned home, his wife Xiao Yun was making clothes by hand, and his mother joined in after coming back from the yard.

So the whole family gathered around the table to discuss the pros and cons of grain loans.

Although Chen Mu's efforts have not affected the situation, ordinary families in the surrounding areas still face tremendous pressure.

This made the Chen family feel quite guilty.

Therefore, they often share snacks at home and help their neighbors.

At this time, everyone's days are about to be freed.

At the beginning of a new week, Chen Muru rode his bicycle to work as usual, but he seemed to have a different feeling in his heart - perhaps some changes were about to come.

PIANO

As he entered the gate of the park, Liu Jin witnessed many people surrounding the information bulletin board. When he got closer, he saw the word "Recruitment" clearly marked on the board.

Liu Jin went forward to take a look out of curiosity and read the content: "In order to promote the development of the factory, starting from today, the factory has decided to recruit up to 6,000 workers on a voluntary basis, and hopes that all employees will spread the word and recommend good talents.

"

Liu Jin was slightly surprised when he heard about such a large scale of recruitment changes, but after all, the current hunger crisis had been alleviated.

However, recruitment on this scale is rare for a steel rolling mill.

The number of “six thousand” is indeed a significant change compared to the current total number of employees of less than three thousand.

This information spread like wildfire, filling every corner of the factory in a short period of time, sparking heated discussions among the public, focusing on the job opportunities and prospects that this recruitment may bring.

The echoes of discussions in the cafeteria often reached Liu Jin's ears.

While thinking, he remembered his uncle and aunt's children - Chen Qiang and Chen Zhuang; and Li Xia and Zhang Wei from the home of his father's old comrade-in-arms.

Even though their age has not yet reached the employment threshold.

If this opportunity comes, combined with his network of connections in the steel mill, it will surely help the children realize their dreams of getting a job.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, his eyes inadvertently swept to a technician who was concentrating on his work - Li Jun, "Hey, Brother Jun! Just saw the announcement on the bulletin board?" Liu Jin asked, his voice echoing in every corner of the work area.

Li Jun nodded and replied, "Uh-huh, Master, I'm talking about the new batch of enrollment.

"

"Good, have you thought of a solution? Is there anyone you want to recommend?" Liu Jin continued to ask.

After hearing this, Li Jun was confused, "Master, what do you mean...?" The words got stuck in his throat. His thoughts were in a mess, and his eyes fell on a woman beside him. That woman was Li Jun's partner - Zhang Li.

"Zhang Li, maybe she could consider joining the cafeteria to help the chef, what do you think?" Faced with this question, Li Jun seemed to have found the answer.

Liu Jin nodded in praise, "Yes, that's a good suggestion.

It would be the best if Xiaoyu could join.

"However, he noticed that Li Jun seemed to have some concerns, so he added: "I know you are worried about finding Director Ma, but you don't need to worry too much about this. I will help you solve it right away.

Please tell Xiaoli our plan first and tell me that I will meet Director Ma tomorrow morning.

"

Hearing Liu Jin's promise and suggestions, Li Jun bowed deeply, and was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence, "Master-master-master..."

He hesitated to speak, but his eyes were filled with gratitude that could not be hidden, “You are so kind.

"This was the only answer he could give in the end.

Liu Jin smiled and patted Li Jun on the back to comfort him, "Don't be polite, we are master and apprentice.

This is what we should do.

"

The day ended in the warm atmosphere of the home. When Liu Jin returned home, he found that the courtyard where he was was also bustling with discussions.

"The discussion was about the impact of the expected increase in the number of employees on household finances, and people were wondering how many other people in their family might be qualified to join the company and earn more salary benefits.

"

After learning the good news, his wife Jin Xiuhua was even more excited.

"If I can get a job in the factory, maybe I can get rid of the daily family troubles," she thought to herself. However, considering that she was about to give birth, she discounted this idea.

But for a pregnant woman similar to Li Xia, Xiao Yun, it was unusual. She was nearly eight months pregnant, but she insisted on completing her work tasks in the delivery room every day. "Should I apply for leave from the director of the maternity hospital and stay at home to take care of myself?" Li Xia asked while considering.

In response to this suggestion, Mu Ge gave warm support: "Dear, maybe you should ask the hospital for a leave to rest.
