But Sha Zhu stepped forward and asked, "Chongzi, what's the matter with you coming to the steel mill?"

Before Yang Chong could answer, he looked up and saw Hou Likui riding a bicycle in the distance. He quickly said to Sha Zhu apologetically, "Zhu Zi, I'm here to find someone. We'll talk later."

As he spoke, he raised his arm, waved, and called out, "Chief Hou!"

When Hou Likui heard him being called, he looked up, then quickly pedaled a few steps to get off the bike in front of Yang Chong and said, "Yang Chong, are you here?" He looked at Yu Xiu, his eyes lit up, "This is my sister-in-law, right? You are so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife."

Yu Xiu blushed and quickly called out, "Hello, Section Chief Hou."

Hou Likui nodded and said to the security officer, "Old Zhao, these two people are new employees. They are here today to complete the entry procedures. Please let them come in with me."

The security staff knew Hou Likui, so of course they would not object, and quickly said, "Okay, we already know this, right? With a word from Section Chief Hou, of course we can get in."

So Hou Likui led Yang Chong and Yu Xiu into the factory. Yang Chong waved to Sha Zhu who was standing there stupidly: "Brother Zhu, I'll go in first. We'll talk later."

In front, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu were all stunned and quickly called Sha Zhu over to ask.

"Zhu Zi, what's going on? How does he know Hou Li Kui? Why did the security department let him in?"

Sha Zhu looked incredulous: "I just heard from Hou Likui that they are both new workers in the factory and they came to complete the entry procedures."

The three of them were all dumbfounded, and no one could believe their ears.

"Shazhu, what are you talking about? Yang Chong wants to work in a steel mill? Is this possible?" Liu Haizhong said first.

"That's right, can anyone who wants to be a worker in this steel rolling mill work? Uncle Three has been trying for Yan Jiecheng's job for such a long time but failed. How could Yang Chong possibly get in?" said Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Even if we buy other people's quotas, the quota of our steel mill workers is at least 500 yuan, and they have to be willing to sell it. He can't even earn one yuan a day as a porter, how can he afford 500 yuan?"

"It's not five hundred yuan, it's one thousand yuan! Didn't Sha Zhu say that both of them wanted to go to the factory to work as workers? Five hundred yuan per person, that's one hundred yuan for two people. Even if Mr. Yang sells both of them, he can't get the one thousand yuan." Jia Dongxu corrected him quickly.

"That's right, Zhuzi, you must have heard it wrong. If this kid can come in as a worker, I, Yi Zhonghai, will walk with my head down from now on." Yi Zhonghai said.

Sha Zhu scratched his head: "I think I heard it right. This is what Hou Likui told the security department. Am I hard of hearing?"

Here, Hou Liqiu brought Yang Chong to the Personnel Department. Last night, Director Yang had already called the Chief of the Personnel Department, Zhu Liquan, to explain Yang Chong's employment.

So things went smoothly. Yang Chong joined the Purchasing Department, while Yu Xiu was taken directly to the Statistics Department. When she was brought into the department and introduced by the head of the department, the male colleagues in the Statistics Department were all stunned and kept talking about it in secret: "This girl is so pretty. I didn't expect that we could have such a pretty colleague in the Statistics Department. It will be more exciting to work in the future."

"Yes, this girl is even prettier than Yu Da, the factory beauty in the broadcasting room. It seems that the title of factory beauty will be passed on to someone else in the future."

When Yang Chong came to the purchasing department, Liu Laoben took him to meet his new colleagues and arranged his work directly: "Yang Chong, from now on you will be responsible for going up the mountain to hunt for us, such as wild boars and rabbits. You don't have to worry about anything else. The working hours are flexible. Come to the roll in the morning. If you come back early in the afternoon, you can hand in the hunted animals to the canteen. If you come back late, you can come back the next day."

This is good, the working hours are flexible, Yang Chong said he likes it very much.

Then, Liu Laoben took him through the entry formalities, and gave him a work permit, work clothes, and some tickets. In those days, supplies were scarce, and almost everything had to be supplied with tickets. People who worked received these tickets at the company.

Finally, Liu Laoben specially gave him a brand new bicycle. This was a special treatment for purchasing agents. Because they had to run around frequently, each of them was given a bicycle.

"Okay, just go and do your thing. Remember, focus on cooking the meat and everything else will be easy." Liu Laoben said finally.

Yang Chong nodded and whispered in Liu Laoben's ear, "Chief, I'm going into the mountains now. I'm afraid I can't use my bicycle. Can you let my wife ride it?"

Without even thinking, Mr. Liu said, "Of course, once it's given to you, it's yours. You can let anyone ride it, just don't lose it. If it breaks, you have to fix it yourself."

"Okay, Chief, I understand. I'll leave now."

Yang Chong said this and went out. He rode the bicycle back to the courtyard and gave it to Yang Xiaojuan, then hurried out.

While sitting on the bus, he heard a familiar voice.

"Ding! The host activated the steel mill branch line, and was rewarded with expanded breeding space and some feed..."

Steel mill spur line?

Is there still breeding space and feed?

Yang Chong was so happy that he lost his mind. This system seemed quiet at ordinary times. But when the rewards came, it was like a thunderstorm!

He quickly entered the space to take a look, and found that the space had indeed expanded a lot, and there was an extra pasture. The little wild boars he had put in before were running around in the pasture, and they were very happy.

Chapter 38 From now on, you will be our boss

This reward made Yang Chong very excited, because he had been considering whether he could raise little wild boars in the space.

Unexpectedly, the system now took the initiative to make his dream come true.

With this breeding function, he is now considering more than just raising wild boars.

He also plans to raise rabbits and pheasants in the space.

He even thought of raising pigs, chickens, geese, sheep, and cows...

And fish...

If I can really succeed, then I won’t have to go out hunting every day. I can just lie at home and feed the pigs.

After returning to Yangjia Village, he first went to Yang Laochuan's house to get a hunting rifle.

Yang Laochuan had already prepared gunpowder and iron sand for him. After he left yesterday, Guo Laosan and his father did not come to cause trouble again. Yang Laochuan and his wife are now very grateful to Yang Chong.

"Chongzi, Xiaojuan's matter is all thanks to you. Erniang doesn't know what to say." He Shuying said with red eyes: "Xiaojuan caused you trouble in the city."

"Second mother, please don't say that. Xiaojuan is my biological sister. She can help Xiu'er and me cook. How can you say she is causing trouble?" Yang Chong said, "Wait two years, when there is a chance, I will find her a formal job in the city, and then find her a husband in the city. Then I will take you two old people to the city to enjoy life."

"Work? I dare not even think about it. She is just a country girl. How can she get a job in the city? If you can really help her find a husband in the city so that she doesn't have to starve and work hard in the countryside, I will burn incense for you every day in the future." He Shuying said.

Yang Chong smiled and without saying anything more, he went up the mountain carrying his hunting rifle.

Today, his hunting focus has shifted. It is no longer just hunting, but focusing on finding the prey's nest. And after finding the prey, he no longer simply shoots it.

Instead, he treated them differently, no matter if it was a wild boar, a hare, or a pheasant, he could shoot the males, but he would leave all the females alone, and only shoot the prey in the legs. Then, after catching the prey alive, he would bandage the wounds and throw them into the space for feeding.

And when hunting today, he must hide himself.

Because he found that there were many more people coming up to the mountain to hunt, and each of them either carried a hunting rifle or set up many wild animal traps on the mountain.

There were even several people following me from a distance.

There is no doubt that these people were jealous of his previous hunting gains and wanted to share in the spoils.

Yang Chong didn't want them to see him catching them, so he circled around in the ravine a few times and easily got rid of these guys.

But this also serves as a reminder that I shouldn't come here too often in the future.

Even if you want to come, you have to learn to avoid these people.

Because he had to get rid of these people, Yang Chong's harvest today was reduced. He only caught a dozen hares and five or six pheasants. However, he did catch a few baby rabbits and a nest of pheasant eggs.

In addition to the one male rabbit, two female rabbits and a pair of pheasants that he specially left behind, his breeding plan became much more complete.

He raised the animals in separate pens, then gave each of them the feed rewarded by the system, and then waited for the harvest in the future.

After returning to the city, he first went to find the Zhao brothers. The Zhao brothers had been waiting for him at the old place for a long time. When they saw him, the two brothers hurried over from a distance and surrounded him.

Yesterday's things were sold out very quickly. After the two people got them to the pigeon market, they were quickly sold out. Many people didn't get any and kept chasing him to ask if they were still available today.

"Brother, this is yesterday's money. There are ten rabbits and twelve pheasants in total. According to the price you mentioned, one rabbit is eight yuan, and one pheasant is five yuan. The total is one hundred and forty yuan. Please count it." Zhao Xiao handed over handfuls of bills.

He had been holding the money in his pocket for a long time, and sweat had formed on his upper body. He had never taken so much money in his life, and he was afraid that something might go wrong and he would not be able to explain to Yang Chong.

Yang Chong was not polite. He took the money and counted it, then counted out six dollars and sixty cents: "Here, as we agreed, I'll give you thirty cents for each one. There are twenty-two in total, six dollars and sixty cents."

The two brothers were both excited, but they didn't dare to reach out to take it.

"Brother, are you really going to give us so much?" Zhao Xiaoer asked excitedly and a little uneasily.

Earning just over six dollars a day was something the two brothers could never have dreamed of.

You know, even state-owned factory workers can only earn one or two yuan a day. The two of them earn the same as three or four state-owned factory workers. How can they not be worried?

"Of course I did. Do you think I was fooling you?" Yang Chong said with a smile, "Why? You think it's too much and you don't want it? Fine, I'll give it to someone else."

"Yes, of course, who would complain about too much money!" Zhao Xiaoyi quickly took it with both hands: "I just can't believe that you actually gave us so much money. Brother, I know you are helping us on purpose. You won't have any trouble selling this thing."

"Brother, we two brothers know your feelings clearly. From now on, you will be our eldest brother. If you have any problems, just tell us and we two brothers will listen to you!" Zhao Xiaoer also said, patting his chest.

"Okay, just work hard in the future and take good care of your family. I still say, safety first. Although this thing can make money, if things get dangerous, it's better to give up the money than to sacrifice yourself." Yang Chong gave a few more instructions, then left the bag of today's prey and left.

After parting with the Zhao brothers, he went to Qianmen Street again, intending to go to Chen Xueru's place to make a set of clothes for Yang Xiaojuan. She was still wearing the same worn-out clothes at home, and Yang Chong had wanted to make her a set of clothes, but all the cloth coupons awarded by the system last time were used up to make clothes for Yu Xiu.

This time the factory gave me a few feet of cloth coupons, which came in just in time for me.

It was already late, and when I walked over, I saw Chen Xueru installing door panels from afar.

The door panels of shops in this era were made up of pieces. They were dismantled piece by piece when the shop opened, and then carried out piece by piece and installed again when the shop closed, and then locked.

The door panel was long and heavy. Chen Xueru looked a little overwhelmed. She carried the door panel for a long time but failed to install it. If she stumbled, the door panel would fall down.

Seeing that the heavy door panel was about to hit Chen Xueru's delicate body, Chen Xueru was frightened and her face turned pale. At this time, Yang Chong walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the door panel.

Chen Xueru let out a long breath, patted her chest in shock, and when she looked up and was about to thank the passerby who helped her, her eyes lit up: "Comrade, is that you?"

Yang Chong nodded and straightened the door panel. "Boss Chen, are you going to close the shop and take a break so soon?"

Chen Xueru's eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "There are no customers now, so I thought of closing the shop and going back to rest for a while. What are you doing..."

Yang Chong said, "Then I am a late customer, Boss Xueru. I want to make a dress for my sister, but she is not here yet, so I don't know if it is possible."

Chapter 39 You'd better find a helper

Chen Xueru said: "It's okay if she doesn't come. You just need to tell me her height and body shape. It will be fine if she's not here."

He quickly let Yang Chong into the store and said, "Tell me, how old is your sister? How tall is she? Is she fat or thin?"

Yang Chong said: "My sister is fifteen or sixteen years old, she is almost a head shorter than me, and she is also thin. You know, there is a lack of food and drink in the countryside these days, and the nutrition is not enough."

Then he glanced outside, pointed at a girl passing by and said, "Similar to her."

Chen Xueru took a look and nodded: "Okay, I understand, I can do it." Then she roughly calculated: "The cloth coupons will cost 13 feet."

Yang Chong frowned.

Chen Xueru observed his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you have enough cloth coupons?"

Yang Chong nodded: "It's not enough. I only have more than seven feet of cloth coupons. Can I..."

Chen Xueru immediately said, "Seven feet is seven feet. Just because you helped me hold the door and saved me, I should give you a few feet of cloth coupons."

Yang Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, boss lady. Now, if you give me the cloth coupons, you can charge me more."

Chen Xueru glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes: "What do you mean by more? Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who only cares about money and not feelings?"

Yang Chong thought to himself: I just reached out to help you hold the door, why did it become a matter of emotion?

But he didn't say that, he just smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Xueru."

Chen Xueru said, "Okay, don't be polite with me. Come, pick out some fabrics. I just got some brightly colored patterns that are just right for little girls. Take a look and see which one you want."

As he said that, he walked into the counter, picked up two rolls of fabric and placed them on the counter for Yang Chong to choose from. He even unfolded the fabric and compared it to himself, saying with a smile, "Look, does this patterned fabric look good on you, sister?"

Chen Xueru was fair and pretty, and she looked even more charming in the brightly colored fabrics. Yang Chong nodded and said, "Beautiful, Boss Xueru is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears."

Chen Xueru giggled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking and making women happy. No wonder you married such a beautiful wife." Then she asked curiously, "By the way, why do you only make clothes for your wife and sister, and not for yourself?"

Yang Chong said carelessly: "I'm a man, I can just wear whatever I want, there's no need to make new clothes. Besides, I still have the work clothes issued by the factory."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up: "Which factory are you from? Is it a state-owned factory? What do you do?"

Yang Chong took out his work ID card, and Chen Xueru grabbed it. After taking a look, she said in surprise, "The steel mill is really a state-owned factory, and you're a buyer. No wonder I felt that you were different from others the last time I saw you. It turns out you're a cadre."

Yang Chong thought to himself, when I came here last time, I hadn’t entered the steel mill yet, why am I different from others?

Chen Xueru continued, "So your name is Yang Chong. You are only 21 this year, three years younger than me. As the saying goes, a girl is three years older than a man..."

Yang Chong quickly took back his work permit, picked a color that was not too bright and Yang Xiaojuan would definitely like, and said, "Boss Xueru, let's use this color. You can calculate the total price and I'll give it to you."

Chen Xueru was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she calculated and said, "Others get twelve yuan, you just give me ten yuan."

Yang Chong nodded, took out seven feet of cloth coupons from his pocket and put twelve yuan on the counter: "Boss Xueru, you charged me less cloth coupons, the money can't be less."

Chen Xueru chuckled: "I've never seen a man like you who won't take advantage of anything given to you."

After paying the money, Chen Xueru walked him out the door. Yang Chong took a few steps and then turned back.

"What's wrong? Did you drop something?" Chen Xueru asked curiously.

Yang Chong simply grabbed the door panels next to him and installed them. He was much stronger than an average person, and these heavy door panels that made Chen Xueru exhausted every day were like a few thin pieces of paper in front of him, and he easily installed them all.

Chen Xueru's face was full of surprise.
