Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 187 Coaxing
"Master Liu, are you sure? Not only the factory leaders, but also the higher-ups all take this competition seriously. If you perform well, not only will you become a team leader, but you may even be promoted to a higher position."

Zhou Weimin found it somewhat funny to see him like this. It was originally a technical matter, but he made it seem like he could do it behind the scenes.

This time it's such a big event, no one is so blind as to dare to do those messy things. Whether you can get the benefits depends entirely on your ability.

However, Liu Haizhong is only a level seven worker and can only be used in the workshop. It would be difficult for him to be invited to the factory-wide competition.

"The leaders above all take it seriously!"

Liu Haizhong was shocked, then turned into ecstasy.

"Then I have to go back and prepare well. Weimin, I'll be leaving first."

"Hey, Master Liu, take care. I won't see you off."

Zhou Weimin smiled and watched Liu Haizhong leave, then turned around and closed the door.

Liu Haizhong is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He does whatever he says because he has a high status. You can coax him now and he will be useful to you in the future.

"Leaving? You must have drunk a lot today. Have some tea and relax."

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Qiuna came out from the inner room holding a cup of tea.

Zhou Weimin took the tea and took a sip, then asked with a smile, "I didn't drink much. Mr. Guo was here today, so I drank a little with him. Did Liu Haizhong make things difficult for you when he came over before?"

"You have the final say in the yard. How can he embarrass me?"

Jiang Qiuna said coquettishly, wondering if her man really didn't know everyone's attitude towards the canteen director.

"Nan Yi just made it today. He said he made it a few more times in case something went wrong. He knows you like sweets, so try it."

Zhou Weimin reached into the lining and took out a large oil paper bag. When he opened it, he found a dozen mooncakes inside.

These mooncakes were not made as a trial by him, but he took out a lot of nuts from the space and asked Nan Yi to add ingredients to make them.

In this era, he couldn't give Jiang Qiuna a very good life, so he could only compensate Jiang Qiuna a little more with food.

However, even though he often brought back good food, what Jiang Qiuna ate was not as good as the normal meals in later generations, but for that era, it was happiness.

"Why did you bring me snacks again? It would be bad if someone saw it. Please don't bring me snacks next time."

Jiang Qiuna looked at Zhou Weimin reproachfully and did not touch the mooncakes on the table.

"Okay, I won't bring it next time."

Zhou Weimin nodded.

Hearing his agreement, Jiang Qiuna smiled and changed the subject:
"Today, Aunt Yan came to me and told me about the guards. She said she had a relative's daughter and wanted to bring her here for the two of them to meet. She had just graduated from a technical secondary school and was now working as a propaganda officer in a textile factory. She had two older brothers and a younger sister. The adults in her family worked in the textile factory, but she didn't say what they did."

She has only been married for a few months. Before that, she had to go and look for the guy, but now she has become the one who helps to screen people.

The sudden change was quite interesting, as I had never seen the guards interact with girls normally, so I had no idea what they were like when they met.

Zhou Weimin could see Jiang Qiuna's little thoughts. He scratched her nose, chuckled and said, "This Aunt Yan is really interesting. She is still thinking about arranging things for Weibing. Yan Jiecheng's affairs have not been settled yet. She is either idle or wants to take advantage of it. Weibing just told me two days ago that he has not thought about getting married yet, so don't think about helping him. He has been opinionated since he was a child. If he wants to get married, he will ask for it himself." "You didn't tell me, how would I know? I will report this matter to Aunt Yan tomorrow."

Jiang Qiuna slapped Zhou Weimin's hand away, glared at him in reproach, and then said, "Last time I heard my dad say that Chen Erxi wanted to give up the house in Courtyard 20, so I asked Qiu An to help me find out. He said that two rooms only cost 800 yuan, and there is nothing wrong with the house, so we just need to clean it up. What do you think we should pay to buy it and keep it for the guard to use as a wedding house. His current house is too small, and it will definitely not be big enough for him when he gets married."

"Why didn't you tell me about this? I'll ask someone to find out. Aren't you afraid that Qiu An, a little brat, will be bullied if he goes to find out about this?"

Zhou Weimin looked at his silly wife in a state of confusion, the 820-square-meter house had been sold but no one had taken it over, there must be something wrong no matter how he thought about it.

Jiang Qiuan could only find out what he could, and he was lucky enough not to be sold out and help count the money.

"Who can bully him? The people in that courtyard are pretty nice."

Zhou Weimin said with a smile: "Hey, they are all pretty good."

"Let's wait for the house. It's too cheap and I'm really worried. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Let me ask someone about it first. It's okay if there are problems with the house. At most, I can spend some money to fix it. I'm worried that there will be something wrong with the house and people will cause trouble for me every now and then after I move in."

"I'll do as you say. If the guards haven't made any plans yet, there's no need to rush to find a house. We can just take our time looking for one."

Jiang Qiuna nodded. She felt a little nervous when she heard what Zhou Weimin said.

Eight hundred is not a small amount of money. If there is any problem with the house...

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiuna couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Isn't it just 800 yuan? Your man can earn it, why are you scaring yourself?"

Zhou Weimin rubbed Jiang Qiuna's hair, stood up and hugged her in his arms.

In the current situation, no matter how much money he has in his space, he cannot take it out. Otherwise, Jiang Qiuna would not have scared herself because of eight hundred yuan.

The days passed slowly during the preparation for the skills competition, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

Lou Xiao'e was discharged from the hospital and returned to the courtyard the next day. This incident had a great impact on her. After returning to the courtyard, she never went to see the deaf old lady again.

Zhou Weimin mentioned the situation in Chen Erxi's house, and Xu Damao helped him find out everything about it, almost exposing all of Chen Erxi's secrets.

The two rooms were allocated by the textile factory to Chen Erxi's second son. However, his second son was on business trips all year round and had not been home for two years, so Chen Erxi dared to spread the word that he was selling the houses.

Chen Erxi sold his house and planned to go to Yuncheng to live with his old lover. He would definitely not be able to find her again after he left.

By then, whether his second son comes back to claim the house or the street office intervenes, the house will become very troublesome and he may lose both his money and his life.

Because of this, no one is willing to take over the house even though it is so cheap.

Jiang Qiuna was so shocked that she almost cried after hearing the news. Zhou Weimin coaxed her for most of the night before she calmed down.

"It's right here. You're lucky. The family that lived here before got into trouble and was kicked out of the yard, so you were able to get this yard."
