The strong fisherman in the courtyard

He planned to extend a small olive branch to Yan Xing, who had just been promoted to a regular employee. If the young man accepted it and passed the test of Brother Tongzi, he would be ready to completely lock the Yan brothers to his chariot.

The main reason is that the Liu brothers have been doing very well recently, and they are a bit short of manpower, and they are in urgent need of workers!

Yan Xing was quite touched and nodded. The two brothers were also miserable children, but fortunately they were born in Beijing and had an urban household registration, so their lives were slightly better than those in the countryside or other cities.

Li Ming chatted with the two of them for a while before leaving slowly. The olive branch cannot be thrown out all at once, you have to take it slowly.

People tend not to cherish things that are too easy to get, but Li Ming understands this. He has frequently accepted these pua in later generations, and now that he has been brought back to the 50s, he has become even more skilled in playing them.

People these days are very simple and have never seen this kind of trick, so it is still very effective.

At night, in the Li family’s second bedroom.

After finishing his meal, Li Ming strolled around for a while and lay on the bed. He habitually looked at the system interface, then looked at the friendly value interface, and added Yan Xing and Yan Wang to check the situation in advance. After all, they have been together for three months, so he should be able to see some signs, right?

【Friendly value】

Wang Da (100)

Wang Er (100)

MCA (100)

Niu Zhuang (100)

Liu Guangtian (100)

Liu Guangfu (100)

Yan Xing (35)

Yan Wang (20)

"Well, it's not bad. The two brothers are grateful people. I will continue to do PUA until the friendship value exceeds 50, and then slowly extend olive branches to the two of them."

Li Ming stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "It would be great if these beasts in the courtyard could help. If I do it myself, I'll feel a little guilty."

"Let's take our time. There's no rush."

Outer courtyard, Yan family.

"Brother, even though the other neighbors in this courtyard don't treat us very well, you as the section chief are very nice to us brothers." Yan Wang squatted on the ground, grinning.

Yan Xing nodded. "Section Chief Li has been very caring towards us. As for the neighbors he mentioned before that need our attention, we have more or less learned from them in the past few months."

The two brothers paused, then both smiled, showing their big white teeth.

Chapter 391 Wu Gang Gets Married

The next day.

Outer courtyard, Yan family.

"Brother, I'm going out to pack some things. Please be careful when you go to work!" Yan Xing washed his face at home and was about to go out pushing the bicycles that the steel rolling mill provided to the buyers.

For those who work in purchasing and do not have a bicycle at home, the steel rolling mill will generally allocate a second-hand bicycle to facilitate their work. The Yan brothers were just suitable, so Li Ming simply approved a bicycle for them. There were still a few old bicycles in Sangu, and the rest were thrown in the car shed to rust.

"Okay, brother, you should be careful too."

Yan Xing waved his hand and walked out pushing his bicycle. He had no connections and no background. He was able to enter the steel mill by his own ability. For other people, they could take more rest every month, but he had to go to the countryside more often to exchange for the 35 kilograms of food, otherwise it would be difficult to get.

A courtyard somewhere.

The four big guys from the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill gathered here to discuss something.

"Old Wu, how can you say you're going to get married? Damn it, we were all single last month!" Zhou Tian cursed and looked unhappy. We clearly agreed that we would be single for the rest of our lives, but how come you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed the organization at the speed of light!

Zheng Ping and Wang Jun also looked at Wu Gang mischievously. The three of them were very happy that Wu Gang was getting married, but he was fine last month! You suddenly changed your mind and are going to get married, Zhuo! They couldn't calm down for a while!

Typical of those who are both worried about their brothers’ hard lives and afraid of their brothers driving Land Rover! When it comes to the four of them, the single one stabs them in the back and wants to get married!

Not only is it time to get married after the affair, but the damn thing also doesn't have enough food. Not only is there not enough food, but other miscellaneous things need to be prepared as well, right?

So we have the current situation.

Wu Gang’s face turned red, and he was trying to hold back his laughter. He was about to go crazy looking at his three friends who were so angry that they couldn’t.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, you bastards. Come on, think of something. I'm getting married this month, and I won't have enough food. Let's think of a solution."

The three salted fish snorted in unison. They were asking for help now? Too late! Of course, it was mainly because they had no other options, otherwise they wouldn't have sat here for so long.

Wu Gang looked at the three people who had turned into dead fish and couldn't help but sigh, "I knew damn well that you three were screwed!"

"The main thing is that we brothers still have to pay for food. After these 35 kilograms, we can only have 10 kilograms left at most. The four of us can only have 40 kilograms together."

"Of course not. This doesn't even include chicken, fish, etc. These things are really fucking difficult to deal with!"

"Should we go find Old Xu? Or Mingzi? Mingzi gained over 100 kilograms to become the section chief. Even if there is not much left now, he must have some connections, right?"

Zhou Tian thought about it again and again, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution. To be honest, the four of them had a pretty good relationship with Lao Xu and Li Ming, and they would definitely invite them to the wedding when Wu Gang got married.

Wu Gang stood up and walked out, muttering as he walked, "Why don't you hurry up? It's a good opportunity to have a meal at Old Xu's place at noon."

"Yes, yes, Old Wu is right."

“This is quite appropriate.”

"Old Xu won't dislike us, let's go quickly!"

Four shameless people asking for help and planning to eat and drink for free, well, that makes sense!

Xu family.

After listening to the stories of these four bastards, and then finding out that they were going to eat at his house, Xu Qiang was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Is this how you four bastards come to ask for help? You even want to get a free meal after you're done?" Xu Qiang pointed at the four men's noses and sprayed them.

The four salted fishes showed no reaction, and Zhou Tian even happily stuffed a cigarette into Xu Qiang's hands as he pointed at them.

After Xu Qiang finished scolding, he felt relieved and sat down slowly. "It's definitely no problem for me to get some food here. As for fish, meat, chicken and other things, I don't have any way to get them."

"I can give you 100 kilograms of food. I think that should be enough."

"That's enough, Brother Xu has worked hard!" Wu Gang came behind Xu Qiang with a smile and started to massage his shoulders, acting like a dog-licker!

These hundred kilograms of food will not affect their monthly salary. It will be enough to carry them from today until the wedding, and there may even be some left over.

As for whether it will cause famine? Oh, these days, which ordinary people's wedding will not cause famine?

Don’t even mention this day and age. Damn, in the future, it will be rare for a man to get married without causing starvation!

Besides, as a buyer who has worked for many years, owing some money is not a big problem. The main thing is that he has a solid foundation, so he can use less of his capital when getting married.

When you have kids in the future, the expenses will be even more!

"As for the meat, you still have to go find Mingzi. Hehe, this guy should be the most capable one among us. As for Old Wu's matter, Mingzi still has the main responsibility!"

"After dinner, I'll take you there. Mingzi is a good guy. He won't refuse Old Wu's request."

After hearing this, several people felt relieved. They could see that Li Ming had skills and connections, and they also wondered if Li Ming would help.

Normally that would definitely happen, but who can blame the current situation for being so special?

Now with the reassurance from the former section chief, they feel relieved, including the other three who are not married. But they will all get married in the future, and no one can escape!

Now that I have a capable and helpful friend, my future life will definitely be much easier.

"Okay, then I'll go over there in the afternoon. It happens that I haven't tasted my sister-in-law's cooking for a long time, hehe!" Zhou Tian had a smug smile on his face. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all and sat down on the stool directly.

Xu Qiang's family background is much better than theirs, so it's no problem to beat up the local tyrants occasionally. Besides, they have a good relationship with him.

. . . . . .

After having a good meal and a good drink, the five big men were bragging and chatting in the yard.

"By the way, Old Wu, what's the situation with your wife?"

"That's right, damn it, I was so busy trying to figure out a solution for you that I didn't know anything about the other brothers!"

"Hurry up and tell us. When we get to Mingzi's place, we brothers will know first!"

"Hurry up, the water is coming, tell me!"

Wu Gang looked at the four people in front of him and always felt that they were like the wolfhounds raised in the factory. Well, the expressions of the wolfhounds when feeding them were very similar to theirs!

Chapter 392 Five Bandits

Wu Gang cleared his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud. If he did, he probably wouldn't be able to go back today! Now he needed help, so he had to serve the four big brothers in front of him!

"Well, it's nothing. I'm just a team leader in the soda factory and a regular employee. I'm not bad looking. I didn't ask for much in dowry. I just gave her a sewing machine as a dowry."

The few people who had been planning to listen to the fun were no longer excited, especially the other three salted fish who stood up and circled around Wu Gang several times, muttering as they did so.

"You don't look that good, kid! How did you get such a good one?"

"It's not appropriate! When did a girl with her eyes closed appear in this fucking city?"

"Sewing machine, tut, tut, sewing machine!"

Wu Gang had a smug look on his face, but there was nothing he could do. He was very confident about his wife. They were both working, and she even gave him a sewing machine as a gift. You might not be able to find such a good thing even if you carried a lantern in your pocket in the city!

Xu Qiang sipped the tea. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Wu Gang was a pretentious person, which was really annoying!

Although the team leader is not a formal cadre, he is indeed in charge! That is why Old Xu is now the director and he is still in a stable mood. If he was still a section chief, he would definitely feel jealous!

The group played around for a while, looked at the sun, and then formed a team and ran towards the courtyard of the steel rolling mill where Li Ming lived.

Even though they despise him, he is still their brother after all. There is nothing they can do. What else can they do? If their son is in trouble, they, as godfathers, will definitely help him!

. . . . . .

The steel rolling mill courtyard, front yard.

Li Ming was still sitting in the yard with his old equipment basking in the sun. He hadn't gone fishing much recently as it was boring. However, his special supplies were running low recently, so he planned to go "rob the rich and help the poor" in a couple of days.

Well, it will be at the beginning of next month. By then, old man Zhang will definitely have a lot of that stuff in his hands. For the sake of the health of the older generation, it would be great if he could bring some more cigarettes over.

"Mingzi!"*5.

Just imagine, Li Ming was lying on a recliner, enjoying his life happily, and suddenly five big men came out and shouted "Mingzi!" in unison. Would you be scared?

"What the hell!" Li Ming jumped up from the recliner with his excellent physical fitness, turned his head to look at the Chuihua Gate, and saw five big men standing there in a row, like damn bandits!

"Why are you here?"

Li Ming invited five bandits to sit in a circle in the yard and distributed tobacco among them.

Everyone started talking about Wu Gang's past, including his wife's basic information. Li Ming felt a sharp pain in his teeth when he heard it!

"Hiss, I get it. To put it simply, Angkor is getting married at the end of the month, and there will be no meat or fish, right?" Li Ming summed up while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Wu Gang nodded, "Yes, Mingzi, that's it."

"How many tables do you plan to host? Let's figure out the appropriate amount and I'll sort it out for you." As soon as Li Ming finished speaking, the others started shouting.

"Look, I told you to find this guy, damn, he's the one who can do it!"

"That's right, we will look for him next time!"

"Old Wu, you should thank me very much this time, right?"

"What? Bow down and worship?"

"Fuck off!"

None of them could spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and Wu Gang cursed when he heard it!

"Ten tables, maybe. There are too many people. We'll have to prepare more after the wedding. I'll get it done the day before my wedding."

Li Ming nodded and pondered for a while, "Okay, I can get it for you, but the item is not mine, so you have to pay the black market price."

"Well, isn't this what you should do? Besides, I see you don't have any fish, chicken or anything like that at home!" Having solved a big problem, Wu Gang grinned and put one hand on Li Ming's shoulder, getting closer to him.

"I want 15 fish, 10 chickens, and 50 kilograms of pork." Wu Gang said generously.

Anyway, a lot of money has been saved on the betrothal gift, so it doesn't matter if I spend a little more now.

"No problem, I guarantee you'll deliver it one day in advance!" Li Ming responded with a smile.

He raised a lake of fish in the space, and chickens and pigs were running all over the mountains and plains. It was impossible that he couldn't get these few things out!

If transactions on the black market could not be conducted openly, Li Ming would dare to call himself the King of Grain!

You see, this is the benefit of knowing capable people. Five big men couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard they tried, but with others, it's just a matter of words!
