Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 44 Comfort
He Yushui stopped crying when she heard this. She stood up and looked straight at her silly brother and said, "Brother, you said this, you can't go back on your word!"

She came home for this reason, and she couldn't let her silly brother cheat.

"One word of spit is as good as a nail. Have you ever regretted it when you see your brother?"

When He Yuzhu saw that his sister stopped crying, he immediately laughed. It was just about keeping a distance from Sister Qin. It was no big deal.

"I forgive you this time. Brother, I won't be back next time. My teacher said that the street office on Qianmen Street is short of people. I want to ask my teacher to help me and let me work there."

Seeing her brother's sincere attitude, He Yushui stopped being angry and started talking about her next plans.

He Yuzhu stopped peeling peanuts and frowned as he asked, "Qianmen Street is not close. It takes more than two hours to go back and forth. Is there no place closer?"

He Yushui rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Brother, do you think I can choose any job I want? It's still unclear whether I can get a job in the street office."

She wanted to work as a broadcaster in a factory, where she could have an easy day and a decent salary, but could she get in?

Good jobs are all given to each person, so there is no way she would get one.

Even the job in the Street Office was something she had managed to secure after working hard for the teacher for so many days.

"Why don't I go ask an old man? He has some influence in the factory and might be able to help you find a good job. If you work in a steel mill, I can help you if you have any problems."

He Yuzhu thought about the people he knew, and in the end he only thought of Yi Zhonghai.

Although Director Yang was usually nice to him and allowed him to take leftovers from entertaining guests home, he was just a cook after all, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to get the job done if he went to Director Yang to discuss the work.

After all, there must be a lot of people asking Director Yang for help in finding a job, and he would never be ranked first.

"Brother, don't worry about it. I can handle my own affairs. The salary at the street office is good and it has a bright future. I don't plan to look for another job. As long as you don't cause trouble like this again, I will be thankful."

He Yushui immediately rejected the proposal. She didn't want to pin her hopes on an illusory possibility.

If she gave up the opportunity to work in the street office and Yi Zhonghai did not fight for the job quota, it would be difficult for her to find a good job in the future.

She didn't want to be like Yan Jiecheng, who had graduated for more than a year but was still a temporary worker in the steel mill. He didn't know when he could become an apprentice and had no hope for the future.

"Okay, you're old enough, make your own decision. If you really go to work on Qianmen Street, I'll find a way to find someone to buy you a bicycle, just as a dowry for you in advance."

Seeing his sister's firm attitude, He Yuzhu stopped talking about work and started thinking about how to solve the problem of the long commute to work.

He had saved some money over the years, but he couldn't afford to buy a bicycle at a department store. After all, things were different now than they were half a year ago. The prices of bicycles had skyrocketed. A Yongjiu bicycle cost 650 yuan.

And even if he could afford it, he couldn't get the ticket. He could buy it with industrial coupons, but it required thirty industrial coupons, and the ten or so he had were not enough.

So I could only settle for the next best thing, which was to buy parts and find someone to assemble them. With the labor fee, I could put together a bicycle for a maximum of eighty yuan. Although it wasn't a brand name, it was at least enough to be used as a bicycle.

"Really?"

He Yushui covered her mouth in surprise. Normally, she was so envious when she saw her classmates riding bicycles to school. She didn't expect that Silly Brother would agree to build one for her.

"Don't be happy too soon, go to the subdistrict office first."

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and started peeling peanuts proudly.

You little brat, are you going to complain to me now?

……

The next day.

Zhou Weimin arrived at the steel mill early, feeling refreshed.

Because of the enemy spy incident, I was tense for several days. Once I relaxed, I slept very comfortably and my complexion improved a lot. "Hey, you're here so early?"

As soon as I entered the purchasing department, Guo Xiangming's voice came over.

"Xiang Ming, come back. I didn't hear anything yesterday."

Zhou Weimin raised his eyebrows and handed over a cigarette.

"I came back by train first, and the materials are still on the way. I heard that you have been staying in the factory for a while, how come you found a way?"

Guo Xiangming took the cigarette and put it between his ears, looking Zhou Weimin up and down. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a fighter.

Zhou Weimin explained vaguely, then smiled and said, "Something happened and I couldn't leave the city. I dealt with it yesterday, so I guess I'll have these two days free. Let's not talk about my business. Shouldn't you prepare to get married when you come back this time? If you wait any longer, it will be the New Year."

"I was just about to tell you this. I came back this time to submit a marriage application, and then I'll go get the marriage certificate. The wedding date has been set, the 30th of next month. I'm telling you this first, so that you don't have time when the time comes."

Guo Xiangming took out the marriage application from his pocket, shook it proudly, and then put it back into his pocket.

"No, if I can share your good fortune, maybe I can find a wife next year."

Zhou Weimin was very happy that Guo Xiangming got married. After all, he had contributed to bringing the two together.

Guo Xiangming moved closer, nudged Zhou Weimin with his shoulder, and whispered, "Do you have an idea? Do you want me to ask my mother to help find out? The girl I introduce to you is definitely reliable."

"Don't worry. Even if I want to find one, I have to wait until my brother starts working next year."

Zhou Weimin rejected his kindness and smiled helplessly.

He would not let Guo Xiangming help him find one. If it was an ordinary girl, it would be fine, but if he found a girl from a compound, then the risk would be too great.

"Okay, tell me whenever you're anxious. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go find our section chief. See you later."

"See you."

After Guo Xiangming left, Zhou Weimin walked back to his seat and sat down.

He planned to wait for a while. If Wu Honggang didn't come to see him in the morning, he would take the initiative to go to him and ask at noon.

The wait is two hours.

Just as Zhou Weimin yawned and was about to use his mind to enter the space to take a look, Wu Honggang strode into the purchasing department.

Looking around, he saw Zhou Weimin and said in a loud voice, "Weimin, come with me."

"okay."

Zhou Weimin's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up and walked over.

The two of them spoke in silence along the way and soon entered the logistics director's office.

After Zhou Weimin closed the door, Wu Honggang's expression turned cold for the first time.

He walked to the desk, slapped it and shouted, "Zhou Weimin!"

Zhou Weimin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in confusion, "Here! Director, who offended you?"
