Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Damn it, fifty yuan a month?

Is there such a good thing?

The two brothers are now in their early thirties and have both started their own families and careers.

He's still at home all day, messing with his bangs!

Of course, after the reform and opening up in recent years, there are some jobs available. I can go out and do odd jobs for others, and sometimes I can earn some money by helping Liu Aiguo.

However, these were all scattered and there was no main source of income.

They lived a life of not only poverty but also humiliation.

There's no way around it; if you eat your father's food, you have to obey him.

I wish I could have a job.

“Where is it…we’ll go there too…” Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were both breathing rapidly.

Banggeng chuckled, revealing a Versailles smile: "That's it... Brother Guangtian, you're too late. They've already recruited everyone and don't need anyone anymore!"

"Impossible! Tell me where it is?"

Banggeng said, "It's right here at the steel rolling mill!"

Without saying a word, the two brothers rode their bikes straight to the steel rolling mill.

As expected, the steel rolling mill had already finished recruiting.

To put it simply, from start to finish, it only takes half a day. If you don't receive any news within that half day, it's basically over.

"Humph……"

Back in the courtyard house, Liu Guang was furious: "That bastard... I want to kill him! He got job openings but didn't tell us!"

“Exactly!” Guangfu said, “Luckily we beat him up a lot when we were kids, so we didn’t suffer any losses… But brother, I heard that Uncle Aiguo is still working over there, as the director of logistics. Why don’t we go and find Uncle Aiguo?”

"it is good!"

The two brothers arrived at Liu Aiguo's room.

They explained their purpose.

Liu Aiguo nodded and said, "No problem, I'll arrange it for you... Don't worry, you two, I'll definitely get it done. Just come to the logistics department to find me!"

"okay!"

The two brothers were overjoyed.

Liu Guangtian said, "Uncle Aiguo, don't worry, I'll treat you to drinks once I get my salary..."

Guangfu said, "I'll buy Moutai!"

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's go!"

Liu Aiguo quite admired these two brothers.

He was a bit stingy, but he was honest. Whether he was a child or an adult, he helped Liu Aiguo a lot.

They were also very perceptive, so Liu Aiguo entrusted his radios to these two brothers for safekeeping.

In recent years, whenever Liu Aiguo had something that Wang Zhongchen couldn't handle alone, he would ask the two brothers for help. No matter how much money they were paid, the two never cared.

Instead, they felt grateful to Liu Aiguo.

This attitude is so much better than that of the "Bang Gang" (a popular internet meme).

In the entire courtyard, there weren't many people who could earn Liu Aiguo's respect, but these two brothers together could be considered half of them!

Drive the Liu brothers away.

Liu Aiguo took out a large watermelon from the system, placed it on the table, cut it in half, and began to eat it in a lavish manner.

I had just taken two bites when a tall, thin figure flashed over.

"Holy crap..." Liu Aiguo said, "You're really back? Here... this half watermelon is for you!"

Secretary Wang didn't stand on ceremony; since he didn't have a spoon, he ate it directly with his hands.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You really know how to enjoy life... This watermelon is really good, sweet and cool... Where did you get it?" Secretary Wang looked at Liu Aiguo with a puzzled expression.

Liu Aiguo said, "It was bought from the State Guesthouse!"

Just kidding. He's been supplying watermelons to the state guesthouse for years. He can just brag all he wants. Anyway, Secretary Wang won't bother investigating these trivial matters.

After all, the resources available now are not what they used to be.

The market has been opened up.

"Not bad...delicious!" Secretary Wang looked satisfied after finishing the watermelon.

Liu Aiguo pointed to his inner room: "I still have quite a few. I'll bring you a few back later..."

"Hahaha..." Secretary Wang said, "Just bring me a few... I came here today because I have some good news to tell you..."

Liu Aiguo wiped his mouth: "What good news?"

"Great news!" Secretary Wang said, "The old leader said that because of your tremendous contributions to Beijing... he's decided to give you an honor!"

"One of the Top Ten Outstanding Young People in the Nation!"

"what?"

Liu Aiguo's mouth dropped open.

This title carries a lot of weight.

"This... I seem a little unworthy!" Liu Aiguo smiled bitterly: just to say the title of outstanding youth, he really was a little unworthy.

Oh shit!

I slack off all day at work.

However... when it comes to their contributions to the country and the entire city of Beijing, they are certainly not lacking.

The title of Outstanding Young Scientist is well-deserved!

"Is this... really true?" Liu Aiguo asked.

Despite his current high position, he still values ​​this honor just as much.

Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Of course it's true...it's all been decided!"

Liu Aiguo asked, "Is there a bonus?"

"Pfft..." Secretary Wang spat out a mouthful of tea: You're such a big boss, and you're asking me if I have a bonus?

This……

That's so special!

I can't bear to look at it.

Yes, yes, yes... ear

Secretary Wang nodded and said, "Fifty yuan... a national outstanding young scholar award... are you satisfied?"

"Not bad!" Liu Aiguo said, "This bonus is quite substantial!"

Chapter 122 Mother-in-law's Birthday Celebration, the Whole Family Gathers

In the afternoon, Liu Aiguo, accompanied by Secretary Wang, went to a specific location to participate in a ceremony. There were various handshakes, photos, and he even met a higher-ranking leader, with whom he had a friendly conversation for a few minutes.

After that, nothing else happened, and he went straight home.

call out……

The next morning, Liu Aiguo traveled to Hong Kong and picked up Yu Li, Liu Qingqing, Liu Xiaohu, and Liu Xiaolong.

The four of them were frequent visitors to the courtyard house.

I show my face every few days to avoid being reported.

However, in recent years, with the progress of reform and opening up, and with no one paying much attention to personal private life issues, Liu Aiguo stopped taking them over.

It's been four years since I last came here. Apart from visiting my parents during the Chinese New Year, I haven't been here much at other times.

My mother-in-law is about to celebrate her 60th birthday, and since the children are all on holiday, they naturally came over together.

Qingqing is a little over seventeen years old, but not yet eighteen!

Little Tiger is fifteen years old!

The youngest, Xiaolong, is only fourteen years old.

Only the older sister has just been admitted to Hong Kong University; the other two are still in high school.

"Dad, how do we get to Grandma's house?"

The children looked at Liu Aiguo, who seemed a little troubled!

There aren't enough bicycles!

"How about..." Liu Aiguo said, "I'll bring the driver and our family's van over?"

"do not want!"
