The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Early the next morning, Yan Jiecheng had breakfast and came to the steel rolling mill.

Today is the first day of work in the new year, and the workers have nothing to do. When Yan Jiecheng was repairing circuits, he saw them gathering in groups and chatting from all over the place.

"I heard that our factory employee grade assessment will be postponed this year." One of the workers whispered.

"Whose words are reliable?"

"It's absolutely reliable, don't believe it. Not only our factory, but also the factories nearby are all the same. As long as the assessment after the new year has been postponed." Seeing that someone actually questioned him, the man immediately said seriously.

"Why? Why put it off until now? I'm still thinking about sending more money to my parents after the salary increase."

"I didn't know this. They didn't tell me. It was my cousin who told me this. He drives for the boss at the Ministry of Industry. The source of the information is absolutely reliable." The man said arrogantly.

After Yan Jiecheng listened to them, he was no longer in the mood to work. He hurriedly repaired the circuit and ran to the office to inquire with Hu Dajun.

"Team leader, are this year's employee grade examination going to be postponed?" Yan Jiecheng asked breathlessly.

Hu Dajun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he didn't tell Yan Jiecheng that he knew about it. "Hey, you're pretty well-informed. I've just been notified."

Yan Jiecheng heard Hu Dajun's accurate answer and knew that his wish to be promoted to an eighth-level worker seemed to be bankrupt.

Hu Dajun looked at Yan Jiecheng's expression and said quickly: "Why are you so anxious? It's not like we won't take the exam, it's just postponed for a few months."

Yan Jiecheng thought to himself that I shouldn't be in a hurry. After a few months of waiting for the chaos to break out, and everyone was busy participating in activities, who would have the energy to organize worker assessments. I'm afraid this postponement will be postponed to ten years later.

But there were some things that he couldn't tell Hu Dajun, so he could only avoid the topic with him for a few words.

Yan Jiefang has no complaints about the postponement of the grade examination for a few months. He is currently busy with getting married to his partner. They have been dating for a year, and they agreed a year ago that they would get the certificate after the Chinese New Year.

But the woman's mother was unwilling to do so. She felt it was a bit embarrassing to marry off her daughter like this. She didn't say four big things, but she had to buy at least two.

This stumped Yan Jiefang. He had been working as an apprentice for several years, but he didn't get much salary as an apprentice in the first three years. He had to pay Yan Bugui, so he couldn't save any money at all.

He became a full-time employee last year and raised his level, but in just one year, regardless of paying Yan Bugui and his own expenses, this year he earned about 200 yuan.

This little money is not enough to buy two big items and clean up the house.

As for asking Yan Bu Gui, he had thought about it, but just thinking about it, Yan Bu Gui would definitely not give it to him. Even if he wanted to borrow money, he would not ask Yan Bu Gui to borrow it, and he would definitely ask for interest from him.

He turned around and looked at Yan Jiecheng. The richest person in the family must be his eldest brother. The couple's salary is more than 100 yuan a month, excluding all expenses and the money given to Yan Bugui. What's going on this year?

I have to save a few hundred dollars.

"Brother, can you lend me some money?" Yan Jiefang thought about it and felt that it would be more reliable to borrow money from Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment and wondered why Yan Jiefang was borrowing money. He asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? You don't have enough money and you still need to borrow money?"

"We're getting married soon, and my mother-in-law insists on letting me buy two big things. You also know that I have saved some money in the past few years, including last year, but this little money is not enough." Yan Jiefang cried helplessly.

.

"How much money have you saved?"

"There are still more than 190. It was originally more than 200. I bought some gifts when I went to her house during the Chinese New Year." Yan Jiefang touched his head awkwardly and said.

It's really embarrassing to say this. He went to Lao Xi's house for dinner during the New Year and didn't bring anything with him, but he took a lot of things to his mother-in-law's house. If Lao Xi knew that, he would kill him.

"Well, you give me one hundred and fourty, and I'll help you put together a bicycle and a radio."

Yan Jiecheng thought about it and thought that with this little money, let alone new ones, he couldn't even buy better second-hand goods. He could only buy two pieces for him in exchange for them. Anyway, he would use them himself and not take them out.

It's not that I don't want to lend him money, but he has more than a hundred yuan, so I can help him get things done with more than a hundred yuan.

Lending him money is not a good thing for him. After all, no one likes to be in debt.

"Brother, please don't deceive me. You can buy two big items with this one hundred and forty yuan?" Yan Jiefang asked in disbelief.

The second-hand bicycle Yan Jiecheng bought originally cost 120 yuan. He definitely couldn't buy a radio with only 20 yuan left. Even if it was second-hand, a radio would cost 50 or 60 yuan.

"Don't worry, I can still fool you, and you will know when I buy it."

Of course Yan Jiecheng knew that normally it would be difficult to buy a second-hand bicycle with this little money. But he was not going to follow the normal method. He planned to spend some money to buy a second-hand bicycle frame and buy new parts to install it. Then he would sell it like this.

It's definitely not possible to go there, but it's no problem if you just use it yourself.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's words so sternly, Yan Jiefang agreed. Anyway, he had no better way.

After work, Yan Jiecheng took Yan Jiefang to Beixinqiao. He spent 50 yuan to buy a radio that looked pretty good, and spent 45 yuan to buy a rusty bicycle that had been used for a long time.

.

Yan Jiefang's eyes widened when he saw it. Although it only cost 140 yuan, he couldn't buy this thing. This... can he ride it?

Yan Jiecheng asked him to calm down and took him to a car repair shop and spent forty-three yuan to buy a bunch of parts. He also borrowed a set of tools from the boss. They were both bosses on the same street and were not afraid of him running away.

.

When he got home, Yan Jiecheng asked him to bring over the old engine oil. He first used tools to remove all the parts from the bicycle. He wiped the frame with engine oil and installed all the purchased parts.

I parked the bike in the yard and took a look. Everything was new except for the frame.

"How to liberate? Is that okay?"

"Brother, the colors are different. When I ride it, people will know it is second-hand."

Yan Jie was speechless. If you still want to buy a new one with this little money, you should just dream. You can have everything in your dream.

"Brother, please think of a way for me. It's too embarrassing to ride out." Yan Jiefang held Yan Jiecheng's hand and begged.

This made Yan feel tired and said quickly: "Let go first, I will think about it for you."

"There is really a way, but you have to go to Guangtian about this matter." Yan Jiecheng said thinking that Liu Guangtian worked in the repair shop.

"Liu Guangtian, why am I looking for him?" Yan Jiefang said confusedly without responding.

"Have you forgotten that he works in a repair shop? He can repair cars but he can't even fix a bicycle? Why don't you just ask him to take your bicycle to the factory and spray paint on it?" Yan Jiecheng said angrily.

.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this, I'm going to find him now." Yan Jiefang said and ran to the backyard happily.
