The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Apart from other things, the salary level of the canteen director of the steel mill is definitely higher than that of the section chief, and most importantly, he has nothing to do, right? This is even more in line with the appetite of a veteran like him.

Seeing that Xu Qiang was keeping them in suspense, a few lazy buyers lost interest immediately. Seeing that they had learned most of the things they wanted to know, they began to retreat one by one. After all, there was no need for them, the purchasing agents, to stay in the steel mill every day.

Li Ming was thoughtful. Not surprisingly, their current section chief would be promoted. Of course, this was also a good time. After all, the tasks in other sections could not be completed every month, right?

Although they have few people in this unit, the data on paper is very good! And to be honest, the value of this third unit chief is indeed not comparable to that of the first and second units. After all, they were previously responsible for the procurement of planned materials.

But Li Ming would know the details when he went to Li Huaide's office. He had planned to go there in the afternoon, but he had not forgotten what Li Huaide had promised him last year.

Maybe this will be Li Ming's chance. When comparing him with Xu Qiang, it will still be up to Liang to decide who will make more money.

After all, Li Ming is young, and his age is there!

After chatting with Sangu and the other idlers for a while, the office was empty again and Li Ming ran towards Li Huaide's office.

. . . . . .

Office of the deputy director of the steel rolling mill.

"I knew you would come over today. I have brewed the tea for you in advance. Have some first." Li Huaide smiled and pushed a cup of tea to Li Ming.

Li Ming didn't bother to be polite with him. He took it and drank it down. You know what, he was actually a little thirsty!

"Uncle Li, I came here today to ask you something!"

"Is it the one you purchased?"

Li Ming nodded, "I want to ask how much our steel mill can charge for this double amount?"

Li Ming said with a money-grubber look on his face.

Li Huaide laughed out loud. He just liked Li Ming's temper. It was good that there was no twists and turns. The most important thing was that there had been a few things between the two of them that could be called exchanges of interests.

"If there's no one behind you, the maximum is 20 kilograms per month. If there's someone behind you, feel free to do as you please!" Li Huaide threw a cigarette to Li Ming and lit one for himself.

Even Li Ming was shocked, mainly because he didn't expect Uncle Li to be so straightforward today and not bother to play dumb. But there was nothing wrong with what he said, after all, there was a big difference between having someone and not having someone.

The steel mill is also a small society, he understood, very much so! Of course, this is also the reason why he agreed with the latter part of the sentence.

Li Ming was about to continue speaking when Li Huaide spoke directly.

"But I, your uncle Li, have another good thing for you. Do you want to hear it?"

Li Ming's eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want the benefits? Anyone who doesn't want it is a big fool!

"Uncle Li, please say something!" Li Ming stood up and walked behind Li Huaide and started to massage his shoulders. He is such an honest child!

Li Huaide was accustomed to Li Ming's behavior and naturally knew what was going on with this cheap nephew. Now that he was being attentive to him, it would be good for him!

If there was no benefit, this little bastard would have gotten the hell out of here long ago!

"Xu Qiang, the head of your third section, will be promoted to the canteen director of the second canteen of the steel rolling mill in a while. As for the previous canteen director, he will be promoted to another place to shine."

Li Huaide said no more and began to enjoy Li Ming's massage. He knew that Li Ming was not stupid. Now it was basically clear. If he couldn't guess it, he would be too stupid.

After listening to this, Li Ming exerted more professional strength on his hands. He was not some Shazhu. If he didn't understand this, he would become Shazhu No. 2!

What Li Huaide meant was no different from what he had guessed before he came. Xu Qiang was making way for him. It happened to be a special period now, so it wouldn't be a big problem if Li Ming rushed faster.

Moreover, as long as he can achieve certain results, other people will not push him too much, not to mention that Li Ming has someone above him!

After kneading for more than half an hour, Li Ming finally took a break, then took a cigarette from Li Huaide's desk and lit it up. "Okay, Uncle Li, you've enjoyed it, don't keep me in suspense!"

"Just tell me, how much food do I need to find before I can go up?"

Li Ming sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and said with a smile, "The thing that Li Huaide said he would mention to him last year has finally come to this matter."

Although it was not mentioned directly to Li Ming, it was good enough for him to have such a big opportunity. It could be said to be the carrot post of later generations.

Li Huaide slowly opened his eyes when he heard Li Ming's joking voice, "Your moves are pretty good!"

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he stood up and stretched his body. "You know what, I feel much more relaxed now!" It would be nice if someone could give him a massage every day.

"Hey, you're welcome. Let's hurry up. If you have too much, it will be hard for me to handle it."

"If you don't do enough and someone else in your section takes your place, I wonder if you'll get mad!" Li Huaide glared at Li Ming. This time, the position of section chief was really a rogue job.

Only Li Ming from the third group can go up, no one else can! There is no other way, this is the leader's request.

Li Huaide stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Li Ming's eyes, then continued to keep him in suspense without saying anything!

Chapter 365 Reminder before marriage

Li understood at a glance, "Three hundred kilograms of food, or three pigs?"

That must be what he meant. In this year, if he wanted to advance in the steel mill without any gossip, the only way out was food. Fortunately, Li Ming didn't lack this little thing.

Li Huaide nodded with a smile, "Any one is fine. When the number is enough, you can go up again without any problem."

"But three hundred kilograms is too much, Uncle Li, it's best not to let others know about it. Otherwise, the group of people in our courtyard will annoy me to death." Li Ming responded with a smile.

"Hiss, you are really capable?" Li Huaide said in surprise. Although the quantity was a bit too much, he didn't plan to let Li Ming prepare it all at the beginning. He could solve it for Li Ming in his own way, but he didn't expect that at this time, this kid still had so many good things.

Li Ming nodded. Let alone 300 kilograms, even 3000 kilograms would not be a problem, but he certainly couldn't show off. It would be inappropriate to show off.

Li Huaide smiled and shook his head. "Good boy, I, as your uncle, really underestimated you. I was thinking of paying for the food for you. After all, I promised you last year that I would help you improve. Well, it seems that I, your uncle Li, still failed to keep my promise this time!"

"Okay, Uncle Li, your life as deputy factory director is not easy either, so just keep it for yourself. Wait until our section chief is transferred and the announcement is made, and then I'll find a chance to send it to you."

"But you can take care of it when the time comes. Don't tell me that I will have to do all 300 kilograms. I'm too lazy to make any more trouble." Li Ming spread his hands and said.

"Okay, don't worry, you can just rely on me when the time comes. You want the credit, and I want the fame!" Li Huaide was happy to gain more fame.

"Remember to make the radish patch smooth and not too conspicuous. The other colleagues in our department are pretty good. I don't want to fall out with them after becoming the department head."

"Don't worry, your three groups will recruit people when the time comes, but we'll talk about it then. I'd better tell you in advance."

Li Huaide agreed with a smile. This time it was a win-win situation for both the uncle and nephew, not bad!

Li Ming chatted with Li Huaide for a while, and then walked out of Li Huaide's office leisurely. There must be someone behind this who is so happy!

When the three departments expand their recruitment in the future, he, as the department head, will definitely have more people under his command than Xu Qiang. Not bad, very good! Then I can ask dear Uncle Li for one or two more places. It will be great, great!

. . . . . .

off day.

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill is extremely lively today. The neighbors in the courtyard have woken up from their beds at four or five in the morning and are walking in groups of three or five towards Xu's house in the backyard.

Today is the auspicious day for Xu Damao to get married. As neighbors in the Siheyuan, they will definitely come to help. Moreover, Xu Fugui has a good relationship with these neighbors in the Siheyuan, and there are no neighbors who have fallen out with him. Therefore, the backyard is particularly lively today.

backyard.

The Li family and the Wu family have a good relationship, so naturally they are together. The two girls, Li Rui and Wu Xuanxuan, got up a little early at this moment and were both in a daze. In fact, there was no need for them to get up so early.

But the courtyard was too messy, and they couldn't even sleep in!

Li Ming followed Xu Damao and a few other people of the same age from the courtyard, smoking and chatting together. Xu Damao had originally planned to ask Li Ming to accompany him to pick up the bride, but Li Ming made an excuse that his feet hurt and he couldn't go.

Xu Damao regretfully found Liu Quan's son in the backyard, and the two of them rode their bicycles to Yu's house to pick up the bride.

As for why Li Ming didn't go? That's not simple! He was afraid of trouble, and getting up early was hard enough, and you asked him to do more work, that's really not okay!

"Brother Damao, what time are you going there?" Standing there stupidly was not a good idea, so Li Ming simply brought up a new topic.

Xu Damao looked very excited. There was nothing he could do. It was his first marriage, so he had to be excited!

"Let's set off on time at 6:30. I've run the route several times, so there's no problem." After Xu Damao said this, he looked in the direction of He Yuzhu who had a sad face.

I don't mean anything else, I just want to disgust He Yuzhu.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao looking at him, his already greasy face was covered with another layer of soot, and he quickly turned around and looked away.

Li Ming laughed out loud, this He Yuzhu is really capable. Then Li Ming looked at Yan Jiecheng in the corner, with a sallow face full of gloom, no wonder he is not liked by others.

He can scare little girls when he goes to the street!

"Hey, Mingzi, look at that idiot Yan Jiecheng, he looks unhappy!" Xu Damao also saw Yan Jiecheng and Yan Fugui, both of them looked unhappy.

It would be strange if he was good-looking, but the girl looked down on the stupid eldest son in their family!

"Brother Damao, you better be careful of this idiot Yan Jiecheng. He holds a grudge very hard! Have you forgotten the last time this bastard sneaked into our chicken pen in the middle of the night and killed chickens?"

"Now that you've married his previous blind date, who knows what this bastard is plotting against you in his mind!" Li Ming began to add fuel to the fire. Yan Jiecheng was not a good person. His hatred value was rising. He must be plotting against Xu Damao in his mind at this moment.

It would be better for him to point it out directly, and then he can join forces with Xu Damao to deal with Yan Jiecheng a few more times. After all, this thing has to be dealt with sooner or later, and it would be a good thing if it could be dealt with earlier.

Xu Damao was stunned. He was getting married today and was in a good mood. He subconsciously ignored the chicken killer in the courtyard. What Li Ming said was not wrong. The Li family did not lend food to the Yan family, so this bastard killed the chicken in the middle of the night.

Xu Damao did marry a wife, who was arranged to marry Yan Jiecheng before. Although it was not successful, judging by the tolerance of Yan Jiecheng, the murderer, he would definitely hold a grudge against this incident.

"Okay, I understand, Mingzi, thank you." Xu Damao looked at Li Ming with gratitude. It is obvious that one should always be on guard against others, and he was talking about this right now.

"Instead of waiting for this bastard to come and cause trouble for me in the middle of the night, it would be better for us two brothers to strike him in advance and give him a good beating!"

"It also saves us from worrying so much!"

Chapter 366 Xu Damao gets married

Li Ming didn't mind at all that Xu Damao included him. He had been planning to deal with Yan Jiecheng anyway. After hearing what Xu Damao said, he nodded directly.

"Good brother, when I get married, let's discuss it together!" Xu Damao was moved by Li Ming's thoughtless action and patted Li Ming on the shoulder.

"Okay, you get married first. Today is your happy event, right? Today I will keep an eye on that bastard Yan Jiecheng. If he dares to get angry, I will kick him out!" Li Ming said happily.

If Yan Jiecheng really dared to cause trouble today, it would be no problem for Li Ming to kick Yan Jiecheng half to death. It's someone else's wedding day, and you come to cause trouble. It would be a relief if I don't beat you to death.

"Okay!" Xu Damao nodded heavily, feeling more and more that he had a good brother.

Xu Damao looked at the watch on his wrist. It was not far from half past six. "Mingzi, I'll take someone to pick up your sister-in-law first!"

This watch is also a second-hand watch that Comrade Xu Fugui bought in Beixinqiao. Although it is second-hand, the price is not cheap. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no need for a watch ticket!

Watch tickets are no easier to get than bicycle tickets these days!

I have to say that Xu Fugui spent a lot of money for his son. At least the wedding of Xu Damao today will be grander than that of Liu Haizhong's family!

In addition to the bicycle, Xu Damao was also equipped with a three-wheeled bicycle. On the one hand, the reason for not buying a bicycle was to save money, and on the other hand, Xu Damao would use a public bicycle after joining the steel rolling mill. So their family agreed not to buy a bicycle for the time being. After all, it is a bit expensive, isn't it?

"Go ahead." Li Ming waved his hand. He was planning to find a place to take a nap. He got up a little too early.

As for Xu Damao picking up the bride? He had already inquired about it, and they would arrive at the courtyard on time at 8 o'clock, which was still early!

It was not until eight o'clock, when Xu Damao brought his new bride back from outside, that the whole courtyard became lively again. Everyone who could help in the courtyard came to help, and those who could not help were now busy collecting gift money.

Previously, the accounting task in the courtyard was assigned to Yan Fugui, but the relationship between the Xu family and the Yan family is not good now, especially since Xu Damao’s new wife is Yu Li.

Xu Fugui is not a fool, so he will naturally not hand over such an important matter to Yan Fugui. Today, it is the Li family who are in charge of accounting. Comrade Li Weiguo can also write, especially calligraphy, and is now guarding the hanging flower gate in the backyard.

Next to the hanging flower door there is an octagonal table with all the necessary items on it. Well, the octagonal table is what those busybodies liked to use the most when they held meetings.

But now Xu Fugui doesn't like to use it, so he directly eliminated it. It has become a public table in the courtyard. Anyone who has something to do can use it!

. . . . . .

The courtyard was bustling until two o'clock in the afternoon, when the whole thing was finally over. Xu Damao had finally gotten married this year and was currently sleeping in the house, having been drunk too much. Yu Li was staying with him.

The other neighbors also went back to their homes one by one. After all, they got up very early in the morning and were busy for almost the whole day. They were too tired to go home.

Evening, backyard, Xu's house.

After the Xu family of four finished their meal, Xu Fugui called Xu Damao to the courtyard and said, "Your mother and I are leaving first. From now on, you two will live in the courtyard. Live a good life and give birth to a big fat boy soon!"

Xu Fugui said with a smile that not only Xu Damao was happy today, but he, Xu Fugui, was also very happy!

Xu Fugui still has a place to live in Sijiu City, but it can't be considered as the city of Sijiu City. After all, Sijiu City now has only two urban areas, one in the east and one in the west. Xu Fugui's other house is now in the countryside, but it is also close to Sijiu City. If you come to Sijiu City, you can get there by foot!

"I'll be waiting for you at the steel mill gate tomorrow, don't be late!"

Xu Damao had been sleeping until now, and he was almost sober now. "Dad, don't worry, just wait for your grandson!"

Xu Damao chatted with Xu Fugui for a few more words, and suddenly remembered what Li Ming told him in the morning, and hurriedly told it again to Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui looked towards the front yard with a gloomy expression, "What Li Ming said is true. The Yan family is not a generous family."

"You two brothers can do whatever you want. Anyway, my opinion is that instead of waiting for Yan Jiecheng to come and cause trouble, it is better to get rid of Yan Jiecheng in advance. As the old saying goes, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days!"

"Last time, that little bastard dared to go to the Li family to kill chickens in the middle of the night. If he really sets his sights on our family next time, who knows if he will sneak into our house in the middle of the night?" Xu Fugui's face was gloomy and his voice was sinister.

The reason Xu Fugui can thrive in the steel mill is not just because of his friendly face!

"If you are unsure about something, please tell me. I can help you with some advice when the time comes."

Xu Damao finally put his mind at ease after hearing what Xu Fugui said. As for dealing with Yan Jiecheng, hey! Not to mention using Li Ming, Xu Damao could deal with him properly!
