Li Weidong watched the excitement at the door for a while, washed his face and went back to the house.

Yu Li had already set the meal and sat at the table waiting for him.

"Hurry up and eat, I have to go to work when I'm done."

"You're going to work too?" Li Weidong put down his chopsticks and frowned.

Yu Li is still a few months away from giving birth, and it is really not suitable to go to work with a big belly.

Director Wang has always been reasonable and should not make such a decision.

Seeing Li Weidong's puzzled face, Yu Li smiled and explained, "I volunteered." ”

Seeing Li Weidong's serious expression, she hurriedly said: "I have been in charge of the literacy work in the neighborhood, and I did a good job a while ago, and I was praised from above. ”

"In a month, we will have to rate the literacy efforts in the streets of the capital."

"If I give up now, it will be tantamount to losing all my efforts."

As she spoke, Yu Li's voice gradually deepened, and she said timidly: "Don't worry, I'm just going to give a lecture to those aunts and aunts in our neighborhood, and I only have one class in the morning every day, and my body won't be overwhelmed." ”

Li Weidong knew that Yu Li had been busy for the literacy class for a whole year, and she had always been very ambitious, so she would definitely not want to give up now.

He said with a smile: "This is a good thing, regular activities are also conducive to production." ”

Seeing that Li Weidong was so reasonable, Yu Li leaned over and took a bite on his face: "I knew you would support me." ”

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked in from outside, looked at it, and hurriedly covered her eyes: "Let's go on, just when I'm not there." ”

Yu Li's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, she stood up and smiled: "It's an uncle, what's the matter this early in the morning." ”

In the courtyard, although the two are both uncles, Yu Li has always looked down on Qin Huairu.

Of course, there is also the factor of Li Weidong. Because Li Weidong once said that Qin Huairu was a vampire or something.

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I have something to do today. ”

"The evaluation of the advanced compound in our neighborhood will start soon."

"I think there's a lot of clutter in the compound that needs to be cleaned out."

"And the ground needs to be cleaned up."

"So I came to discuss it with you."

The selection of advanced compounds is related to whether the residents of the courtyard can receive additional food stamps.

When Yu Li heard this, her expression became serious.

"Then please sit down, and we'll talk while we eat."

"No, there's no rush on this matter, and when we're done eating, it's not too late for us to discuss it."

Qin Huairu saw that Li Weidong's face darkened, and hurriedly said with a smile, and then left quickly.

She came to the Li family to talk about work, and she didn't have the intention of spying on the Li family's situation.

Yesterday evening, she saw Li Weidong and Yu Li leave the courtyard in a hurry.

Thought something was going on between them.

Seeing that the two of them were harmonious and beautiful, Qin Huairu could only sigh and return home with a depressed expression.

After eating, Li Weidong told Yu Li a few words, then put on his bag and rode his bicycle to the rolling mill.

Not far from the gate of the hospital, I saw several young people wearing national defense green and old military hats, riding bicycles towards this side.

These young people ride bicycles as if they are desperate, the bells are jingling, and passers-by hide far away for fear of being hit.

"Zhong Yuemin!"

When Li Weidong was passing by, he suddenly felt that the young man opposite seemed to be a little familiar, and shouted.

When Zhong Yuemin heard the sound, he subconsciously pinched the bicycle gate, and under the high-speed braking of the bicycle, the rear car jumped up and almost fell over.

Fortunately, Zhong Yuemin's riding skills are good, his feet are hanging on the ground, and the yellow clay shoes rub a black mark on the ground, and he finally brakes steadily.

"yes, I didn't see labor and management riding a bicycle."

Zhong Yuemin's face turned a little blue with fright, and he subconsciously wanted to get angry, but when he turned around and saw that it was Li Weidong, his face was suddenly full of smiles.

Riding a bicycle, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Weidong: "Weidong, I was looking for you!" ”

Li Weidong took the cigarette, took a deep breath, and spit out a cloud of white mist: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

He also thought that Zhong Yuemin was looking for him because of his business with Yu Fatzi.

I was about to tell Zhong Yuemin that although Yu Fatzi is now a good man and has become a purchaser in the poverty alleviation workshop, the pigeon market has not been completely lost, so Zhong Yuemin and his gang should not worry.

However, Zhong Yuemin's next sentence shocked Li Weidong so much that he almost fell off the bike.

"Li Weidong, I want to ask you to teach someone to dance ballet."

Li Weidong stared at Zhong Yuemin, who looked embarrassed, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhong Yuemin's face turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Ballet is the kind of swan dance that you dance on tiptoe. ”

Li Weidong understood, it must have been Zhou Xiaobai who entrusted Zhong Yuemin to invite him.

sighed in my heart, I didn't think that there were licking dogs in the big yard.

"Roll the calf, don't jump that."

Li Weidong didn't leave Zhong Yuemin with any face: "If you want to jump, you jump by yourself, don't pull me." ”

"I have to be able to jump too." Zhong Yuemin said with a sad face: "The last time I danced with Zhou Xiaobai, I couldn't stand it after only two minutes of dancing, so I had to run away, even then, my toes hurt for seven or eight days." Zhou Xiaobai said that I dance like a penguin. ”

As he spoke, he glared at Li Weidong and asked, "Do you know penguins?" ”

"Cut, of course I do."

Li Weidong waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense with you here, I have to go to work quickly." ”

After speaking, he ignored Zhong Yuemin's pull, got on his bicycle and left quickly.

Looking at Li Weidong's back, Zheng Tong whispered: "Brother Yuemin, what is this going to do?" ”

"What to do, of course it's cold salad!" Zhong Yuemin said angrily: "If people don't want to, can I still tie them up?" ”

"I'm talking about Sister Xiaobai." Zheng Tongqiang couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Yuemin did do the thing of kidnapping people, but now the target is Li Weidong, and he doesn't dare to do it.

"Xiaobai. Forget it, if it doesn't work, I will go to the art team to hire a professional teacher for her, I don't believe it, people rely on that person to eat, can not have a driver jump well. ”

Zhong Yuemin got on his bicycle and said loudly: "Okay, brothers, our task has not been completed today, let's go, string together in each compound." ”

When Yu Fatzi developed Zhong Yuemin and them into "salesmen", he promised a high return, and for every pound of mountain goods sold, he could take 5% of the fee as a reward.

At the same time, strict assessment standards have also been formulated, and if the tasks of each month are not up to standard, the corresponding labor remuneration will be deducted.

Who is Zhong Yuemin, that is the master who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. If ordinary people dared to deal with him like this, he would have rammed the man's head with a wire lock.

But Yu Fatzi gave a bit too much, Zhong Yuemin and they could get nearly 500 yuan from Yu Fatman every month.

As for him, Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun, and Sun Haiyang, each of them can get nearly 120 yuan.

One hundred and twenty yuan in this era is enough for Zhong Yuemin to go to Lao Mo twice.

Of course, Yu Fatzi is not the master of taking money.

Zhong Yuemin has a special status, has a lot of prestige among the children in the compound, and has many friends.

In this era, there are not many people who can afford to eat those specialties from the Northeast.

Zhong Yuemin's friends occupy a large part of it.

Moreover, since Zhong Yuemin is the middleman, the safety is also guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about receiving money.

Yu Fatzi is very business-minded, so naturally he will not give up such a huge sales network for such a small amount of money.

The other side.

Today is the first day that Yu Fatzi came to the rolling mill to report, and Li Weidong, as the introducer, naturally had to accompany him throughout the process.

Although there is an approval from Director Yang, the rolling mill is, after all, a regular state-owned factory, and the necessary procedures are indispensable.

After transferring the grain relationship, submitting the letter of introduction, and going through the entry procedures, Li Weidong was busy all morning.

At noon, Yu Fatzi held a brand-new work ID, and his mouth was a little closed with a smile.

"Weidong, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to become a formal factory officer in my life."

Li Weidong picked up the enamel jar on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I help you, not entirely because of the relationship between the two of us, but more importantly, because of my ability to trust you." ”

"Now the materials on the market are becoming more and more scarce, and after the expansion of the poverty alleviation workshop, a large number of materials are needed."

"These need to be bought back by you, the buyer."

"Also, in the process of procurement, don't make small moves for me!"

Li Weidong spoke, his face stern.

The sharp gaze, like a knife, startled Yu Fatzi.

Yu Fatzi once heard that Li Weidong was a strict leader, and he didn't believe it.

When I contact Li Weidong on weekdays, Li Weidong is quite kind.

Now I feel it.

Yu Fatzi hurriedly stood up, patted his chest and promised: "Director Li, please rest assured, even if I don't eat, drink or sleep, I will guarantee to complete the purchase task." ”

"Also, I'm a fat man who knows the severity, you gave me this opportunity, if I don't know what to do, is it still a person?"

There is no suspicion in employing people, no need to suspect people, Li Weidong is not doubting Yu Fatman's character, but just giving Yu Fatman a reminder.

"Okay, that's all for today, it's noon soon, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together."

Yu Fatzi took out a handful of meal tickets from his pocket: "I delayed you for a morning today, I invite you." ”

Before Li Weidong could answer, a small head poked out outside: "Who wants to treat?" Can you please me? ”

No need to ask, this person must be Niu Meng.

Her ears are the same as normal people on weekdays, but as long as someone says that she wants to invite dinner, even if she is more than 50 meters away, she can hear it clearly.

"Who is this?" Yu Fatzi didn't know Niu Meng, but he was curious that this girl was bold enough to dare to enter the director's office directly.

Li Weidong beckoned, invited Niu Meng in, and introduced with a smile: "This female comrade's name is Niu Meng, she is my apprentice, don't look at her as a female comrade, just look down on her." ”

"This is Yu Fatzi, a new buyer in our workshop."

Yu Fatzi grinned and said, "How could I underestimate lesbians!" Lesbians can hold up half the sky. ”

Niu Meng's eyes widened: "Then can you invite me to dinner at noon?" ”

Obviously, the fat man didn't understand what Li Weidong really meant, so he agreed to it.

While eating, Yu Fatzi watched Niu Meng come over with a pot of steamed buns, and finally understood what Li Weidong meant.

This lesbian really can't be underestimated.

Niu Meng also seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his behavior, and said timidly: "Comrade Yu, can I eat it?" ”

"Can you can" Yu Fat Man couldn't cry or laugh.

If you don't agree, you're not a wicked person.

Besides, these steamed buns can be worth a few bucks.

Li Weidong looked at Niu Meng and frowned slightly.

It's not that he feels sorry for the fat man's money, but he thinks that Niu Meng's meal is a lot bigger.

Is there anything wrong with this girl, such as hyperthyroidism or something, to have such a large amount of food.

It's just this kind of thing, even if it's a master, it's not easy to remind it in person, and Niu Meng is still a little girl, so she has to be face-saving.

After eating, Li Weidong excused himself for a walk and wandered to the truck team.

The thin monkey just came back from the car, and when he saw Li Weidong, he immediately ran over excitedly: "Brother Weidong, I was looking for you!" ”

"What's the matter?"

I haven't seen him for half a month, the skinny monkey's complexion is much better than before, his face is also ruddy, and there are faint traces of a small belly under his coat.

Now he should no longer be called Skinny Monkey, but Fat Monkey.

"My daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy, and the day after tomorrow held a weekly banquet. I'd like to invite you to come over and have a good time. The skinny monkey was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

If Li Weidong hadn't helped back then, he would have been caught by Huang Xiaocui, and if he couldn't come up with the money, he would definitely be fired from the rolling mill.

How can there be a happy life for his wife and children on the hot kang now.

"Catch Zhou, don't worry I'll be on time." Li Weidong said with a smile.

After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and then asked, "Are you still going to have a feast?" ”

Catching the week is to celebrate the child's first birthday, and the old people in Beijing pay great attention to this.

In the past, several tables would be set up, and family and friends would be invited to congratulate them and wish the children healthy growth.

However, as materials have become more and more scarce in recent years, the week has become a formality, and most people do not hold feasts.

Skinny Monkey smiled and said, "I wasn't going to do it in a big way. ”

"But the mother-in-law is not happy."

"On my daughter-in-law's mother's side, she is the only daughter, and this child is equivalent to the only seedling of the two families."

"Fortunately, I have saved up money for a few months, food stamps, meat stamps, etc., and I want to hire a cook to come to my house to make a feast."

"Cook, please?" Li Weidong said with a smile: "The stupid pillar of our rolling mill is a neighbor to me, and his skills are good, you can go and invite him." ”

"Harm, I've wanted to ask for a stupid pillar for a long time. But the man was more than axial, and I had offended him before. ”

The thin monkey said with some embarrassment.

A few years ago, he came back from a business trip by car, hungry, and wanted to find something to eat in the cafeteria.

was kicked out by the stupid pillar, and the two have formed a grudge since then.

"Heh, it's all trivial, as long as you say it, it's fine."

Li Weidong said with a smile: "You wait for me at the door of the canteen, I'll go talk to Captain Niu about something, and I'll go over when I'm done." ”

"Okay!"

The skinny monkey was overjoyed.
