Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

On the afternoon of the 29th day of the lunar year, Pei Guang and his wife received their wages, as well as this year's New Year benefits, 15 kilograms of flour for the canteen director and 2 kilograms of flour for Zhao Maimai.

This also means that the four-day annual holiday has officially begun and work will officially start on the fourth day of the New Year.

Walking out of the finance office, Pei Guang looked at the worn-out bicycle under Zhao Maimai's feet and an idea came to his mind.

It was originally a second-hand bicycle, which had been used for three years and seemed to be under a lot of weight.

In the past two days, there is always a "crunching" sound when riding, which gives me goose bumps.

He was too lazy to repair it, so he might as well just buy a new one.

"Mai Mai, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods, and also buy you a new car."

Zhao Maimai immediately smiled brightly. With her family's current income level, they wouldn't feel bad about buying a new car.

"Brother Guang, do you have enough money and industrial coupons? Why don't you go home and get some first?" She gathered her hair in front of her forehead, revealing her charming demeanor in an instant.

Two months ago, the state officially issued industrial coupons, one for every 20 yuan of salary, which could be used to purchase various industrial products, such as bicycles, enamel washbasins, watches, iron pots, etc.

It takes 12 industrial coupons to buy a bicycle, 5 for a watch, and 8 for a sewing machine.

Chapter 177 Buying and Selling Cars

Pei Guang smiled and said, "I've already prepared it. Just go buy it."

With space in hand, thousands of dollars can be thrown at someone's face at any time.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, the supply and marketing cooperatives are crowded with people, some are alone, some are couples, and some are with their children.

Coincidentally, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Coincidentally, I also ran into Sun Dahu and his wife.

"Hey! Dahu is here to buy New Year's goods too?" Pei Guang asked casually.

Sun Dahu: "That's right! It's the New Year, so we have to prepare something for the family."

Pei Guang added: "That's perfect. I'm planning to buy a bicycle. Can you please help me push the old one back?"

Sun Dahu readily agreed.

Yu Li was secretly amazed. He was indeed a super rich family in the courtyard. It was not enough that he had three cars at home. He was simply too extravagant.

Looking at the old car outside, I suddenly had an idea: maybe...

Perhaps because Pei Guang and his wife came by bike, the salesperson was unusually friendly, in stark contrast to his usual arrogant attitude.

There is almost no need to choose, the Phoenix brand is deeply loved by women for its exquisite appearance and lightweight design, and Zhao Maimai is no exception.

As a light blue bicycle came into view, I couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

"Hello, how much is this bicycle?" she asked the salesperson without turning her head.

Salesperson: "The price is 160 yuan, plus a bicycle ticket or 12 industrial coupons."

Pei Guang put his hands in his pockets and said, "Let's take this one. Please take us to look at the watches."

The salesperson was used to it. To the rich, money was just a number.

A watch is just a tool that can tell time. It doesn’t need to be luxurious or expensive.

Pei Guang directly chose a Shanghai brand semi-steel watch, which cost only 120 yuan in total, while a full steel one would cost yuan.

In total, he paid for a bicycle ticket, five industrial coupons, and 5 yuan, which made people around him gasp in amazement.

What kind of family is this? They are so lavish!

The way he spent the earth like gold was so exciting no matter how you looked at it.

Then the couple bought some peanuts, dried fruits and other New Year's goods, went to the police station to get their stamps, and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables...

After all the busy work, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The three aunts by the sink glanced at the door inadvertently, blinked several times, rubbed their eyes with their hands, and then no longer cared about washing clothes.

"Oh my! Mai Mai, this car you bought is new." The three aunts walked around the car body, and a flash of jealousy appeared in their eyes.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Why should we live frugally and live a life of hunger?

Others, however, spend money lavishly and recklessly, and their lives are getting better and better.

Where is justice! Where is justice!

Zhao Maimai smiled helplessly, as if she had accidentally shown off her wealth. The Pei family's income was exposed, and no matter how low-key they were, they couldn't hide their rich family background.

It’s better to let nature take its course.

After the two men left, the third aunt suddenly slapped her thigh and complained, "That damn old man, why did he choose to go fishing at this time when there is no other time."

"Eating shit can't even keep up with the heat!"

A few days ago, I heard the man thinking about saving money to buy a used car. Now that the Pei family has bought a new car, the used car must be vacant. Isn't this the opportunity?

Here, Pei Guang had just returned home and hadn't even had time to sit down when Sun Dahu came to his door again.

"What? You want to buy that old car?" Pei Guang hesitated a little.

He had originally planned to sell the car to his brother-in-law.

It’s not impossible to sell it to Sun Dahu.

My brother-in-law has now received a raise in salary. The difficulties are over, which means he has more opportunities to work as a waiter outside. If he works hard for a few months, buying him a new car will be no problem.

Sun Dahu saw Pei Guang's hesitant expression and asked hurriedly, "Brother Guang, did anyone want that car?"

Pei Guang smiled and said, "Not really. I already have an arrangement. I can sell it to you."

"It's just that the bike has been making some noises lately, so it needs to be fixed at a repair shop. If you want it, you can take it for fifty dollars.

"Even though the bike is a bit old, it won't be a problem to just give it a little paint and apply some oil, and it can be ridden for a few years."

It cost me nearly fifty dollars to assemble the car. Three years later, I made no loss when I sold it.

Sun Dahu breathed a sigh of relief. This price was still within his acceptable range.

He searched his pocket, counted out fifty dollars and handed it over.

Pei Guang raised his eyebrows: "Ha! You are well prepared. Well, just take the bike and go. I will accompany you to the police station to handle the formalities some other day."

Sun Dahu agreed readily.

Hehe! From now on, I am also a car owner.

When Yu Li heard that she had gotten the car, she was immediately overjoyed. She would feel more proud when she returned to her parents' home in the future.

Yan Fugui held a bamboo pole in his left hand and a bucket in his right hand, which contained a big fish and two small fish.

Another harvest day!

He jumped and hummed a little tune, and was as happy as a butterfly dancing in the air.

"We, the common people, are really happy today. We, the common people, are really, really happy."

Speaking of the ditty, he happened to hear Pei Guang humming it and thought it was interesting so he wrote it down.

You know what, just humming it twice a day can improve your mood a lot.

As soon as I got home, I learned about the bicycle from my wife, and I was immediately delighted.

Our Old Yan's luck has turned around. Whatever we wish for will come true.

He didn't dare to delay and ran to the backyard excitedly, fearing that he would be intercepted if he was too late.

My eldest son has been working for three months and has saved 45 yuan, which should be more than enough to buy that old car.

I still remember Pei Guang saying that it only cost more than 40 yuan to assemble the car, and if we bargained again...

Uh......

Pei Guang was stunned when he heard the purpose of Yan Fugui's visit. This was just a coincidence, like the end of a thread falling into the eye of a needle.

The two of them actually fell in love with the car at the same time.

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Uncle San, you are a step too late. I have already given the car to Da Hu."

"what?"

Yan Fugui was struck by lightning and could not believe it.

In just such a short period of time, the bicycle has changed hands?

My wife is right, damn it! Eating shit can't even keep up with the heat.

"Xiao Guang, how much did you sell your car for? Have you completed the formalities?" Yan Fugui asked unwillingly.

"Uncle, now that things have come to this, it's all just lies. You should go outside and ask."

"Oh!" Yan Fugui sighed.

There are many better fish in the sea, so why bother looking for one around you? At most you can save more money and buy a better one.

Chapter 178 Recruitment Ends

New Year’s Eve is the day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

The warm sunlight, shining through the dense leaves, formed golden spots. The cold air above the earth seemed to have lost its support and was beaten back step by step.

The streets seemed to have changed overnight. Everywhere you looked, you could see lights and decorations, and a bustling scene.

Waves of pedestrians came one after another, like waves on the sea. Some people just came out of the department store, carrying large and small bags in their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces; some were families of three walking and chatting slowly, as if they had nothing to do, just strolling around.

In the afternoon, Pei Guang called on Zhao Guangming, a free laborer, and they started working in the kitchen in full swing, while also giving him some cooking instruction.

"Crack clap!"

When the knife meets the ingredients, the ingredients are quickly divided and shaped into various shapes like building blocks. Every cut is constantly advancing the process of cooking.

A pair of skillful hands create a colorful world, and a big spoon stir-fries sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors.

Zhao Guangming was amazed by this scene. He was shocked both physically and mentally and could no longer feel proud.

He knows that he still has a long way to go on the road of becoming a chef.

Pei Guang took everything in, and a beautiful smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Young people are prone to being carried away by success, and he himself is no exception. As long as he can correct his mistakes, he is still a gentleman.

After preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, he checked the system prompts.

[Ding! You practiced your cooking skills seriously, your cooking proficiency +5]

[Ding! Your cooking proficiency has reached the promotion requirement, and your skill level has been promoted to Grandmaster]

[Ding! Cooking skill upgrade detected, upgrade rewards are now issued. ]

As expected, his cooking skills were promoted to the grandmaster level.

As the knowledge came together, Pei Guang clenched his fists, and a strong sense of confidence rose up.

How could a tiny pearl dare to compete with the sun and the moon? Only then did he realize how insignificant he was before. There was a huge difference between the two.
