Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

There were some cracks, and some had spilled onto the ground, but the egg yolks could still be picked up.

Some can even pick up egg whites.

I'll stir-fry this with some scallions later. Although it will inevitably contain some dirt, it's still quite delicious overall.

So when Liu Aiguo gave the order, everyone in the courtyard, young and old, went home to get bowls and started collecting eggs.

Madam Jia brought over a large winnowing basket, and shoved people aside, saying, "Get out of the way..."

As he spoke, he scooped all the eggs into the winnowing basket.

Liu Aiguo stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Anyone can pick it up... but not the Jia family. Get as far away from me as possible!"

Paralyzed!

They're always going against me, and they still want to take advantage of me?

Roll the ball!

Jia Zhangshi's face was ashen.

However, there was nothing she could do; the eggs still belonged to Liu Aiguo.

The group cleaned the eggs thoroughly, almost covering the ground in front of Liu Aiguo's door with a layer of dirt.

That evening, the aroma of eggs filled the kitchens of every household.

Only in Old Jia's family were the children crying and screaming.

"No...I want to eat eggs...Grandma, Mom...I want to eat eggs!"

"If you don't give me an egg, I'll smash the bowl!"

"If you don't give me eggs, I'll hit you!"

The stick rolled on the ground.

Jia Zhangshi carried the large bowl around, borrowing from Uncle Yi, Uncle Er, Uncle San...

Pity!

She really offended several older women during the last lock-related incident, and nobody paid any attention to her anymore.

……

The next morning, Yu Haitang broadcast another announcement.

"Dear leaders and staff: Good morning. The following is a notice..."

"Comrade He Yuzhu, without cause, took his anger out on others and deliberately broke four hundred eggs that the purchasing department had worked hard to buy. After deliberation by the leadership, it has been decided that Comrade He Yuzhu shall compensate for the loss in cash, and his labor reform period shall be increased by fifteen days..."

puff……

Upon hearing the news in the workshop, He Yuzhu nearly coughed up blood.

Oh shit……

Compensation at cost!

Another fifteen days of labor reform?

He almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.

Moreover, he was carrying a heavy steel component weighing about ten kilograms.

With a sigh of relief, the steel component slipped from his hand.

boom……

"Ouch..." He Yuzhu cried out and jumped up, "My foot... foot... foot... foot..."

And at this moment!

Liu Aiguo, however, pushed his cart and wobbled to the door.

Just as he stepped out of the steel rolling mill, Yu Li stopped him.

"Yu Li... what brings you here?" Liu Aiguo asked in surprise.

Yu Li said, "Don't you miss me?"

"Mmm..." Liu Aiguo said, "Received it. So, what's wrong besides missing me?"

Yu Li said, "Teach me to ride a bicycle this weekend. I feel like if you give me two more days, I can learn..."

"Okay..." Liu Aiguo happily agreed.

Yu Li said, "Thank you, husband..."

That "husband" he called was so sweet it warmed my heart.

Liu Aiguo turned around, looked at the empty street, and then lowered his head and said, "Wife... I've been teaching you to ride a bicycle for so long, can you give me a reward?"

The next chapter will be the VIP release chapter... Please give it a first subscription, thank you...

Thank you all for your continued support. This book is finally going to be available for purchase.

I was in a daze for a month after the New Year, not knowing what topic to write about. I looked at some recent courtyard houses and felt that they were very similar to my childhood life.

Of course, I was a child in the 1980s. Although it was twenty years later than the 1960s, in general, our rural areas were twenty years behind Beijing.

Our living conditions when we were young were basically the same as those in a traditional courtyard house.

I've eaten cornmeal and sweet potato porridge, and I've even gone hungry.

Anyway, I didn't have any pocket money when I was a child. My mom didn't have any money either. When we visited relatives at my maternal grandmother's house, she would only give us one or two yuan.

That's right!

This is how poor it is in a major agricultural province in the Central Plains region.

You're so poor you can't believe it.

It evoked a sense of nostalgia and my own memories, so I wanted to write.

The results weren't ideal, but I will write down the ending I envision.

Let me make a call to action here.

Please give me your flowers and votes.

Chapter 057 How about this reward?

The area was spacious and bright in the early morning.

There was a damp, fresh scent in the air.

The factory gate is silent!

A bicycle!

Two people!

As the sun rose, it cast long, long shadows of the two of them!

Yu Li turned her head to look at Liu Aiguo and asked, "What reward do you want?"

Liu Aiguo looked over!

The blinding sunlight was drawn in from the east.

His features were outlined in gold, but his true face and expression were obscured. He swallowed hard and whispered, "When you learn to ride a bicycle later, could you wear a skirt...?"

Yu Li said, "You stinky brat... what are you trying to do?"

Liu Aiguo said, "I want to help you lift your feet to get into the car!"
