Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 212 The Meat Got

"This brat!" Cui Qinghai watched Cui Tianming leave the main room and turned to look at Cui Tianhao.

Cui Tianhao asked: "Dad, do you want to tell my aunt about the division of the family?!"

Cui Qinghai said: "After he enters the city tomorrow morning, ask him to go and talk to your aunt about the division of the family."

"Oh! I'll tell my little brother tomorrow morning." After saying that, Cui Tianhao stood stupidly beside Cui Qinghai. Cui Qinghai asked, "What else?!"

Cui Tianhao said, "Dad, I just discussed it with my wife. You and mom will be living with us in the future anyway. We won't share the pots and pans. Starting tomorrow, you and mom don't have to cook, just eat with us. Don't worry! Erya said that even if we are hungry, we won't let you go hungry." After saying that, Cui Tianhao ran out of the main room without waiting for Cui Qinghai to react.

After about ten minutes, Wang Huilan came in from outside. Cui Qinghai asked, "Have you divided up all the things?!"

Wang Huilan nodded, looking helpless, and said to her man, "Except for the second and youngest, all are divided."

Cui Qinghai consoled her, "Old lady, according to the rules, our family should have been divided long ago. It's too late to wait until now."

Wang Huilan said, "I know. I just didn't react to it right away. It will be fine once I get used to it."

Cui Qinghai said: "Except for the old family, the rest of our family is pretty good. We will help them if we can in the future."

Meanwhile, Jang Dae-geun returns home.

Zhang Shouren saw his eldest son coming back and asked, "Why are you back so late?!"

Zhang Dae-geun drank a glass of water, took a breath, and said, "I missed the time when I arrived in the city. The person who wanted to swap jobs with me went to work. I waited until he got off work before I found him. I was a step too late. The job was already taken."

Zhang Shouren frowned and asked, "Did the Niu family find Lu Shunyi's grandson?!"

Zhang Dagen said: "The Niu family didn't go at all. They took our work over for the Lu family."

Zhang Shouren's face changed and he said, "I never thought that the Niu family would take this step. I still underestimated them."

Zhang Dagen took out 600 yuan from his pocket and said, "Dad, this is the money you gave me in exchange for my stuff. It's all here." In fact, Zhang Dagen got much more money from the yellow croaker today than this. It's just that when Zhang Dagen came back, he hid the extra money. According to Zhang Dagen, the extra money was his hard work fee.

Zhang Shouren collected the money and asked, "There is no food in the pigeon market and the black market?!"

Zhang Dagen shook his head and said, "No! Even if there is, the price is very high. I heard that the price of corn flour has risen to one yuan per catty in the past two days. Not to mention fine grains."

Zhang Shouren sighed and said, "Forget it! Who made our family not destined to produce workers?! I'll find another opportunity later!"

"Hey!" Zhang Dagen responded, "Dad, I'm going to eat!"

"Go!" After sending his son away, Zhang Shouren lit up his pipe and smoked it thoughtfully, thinking about how to deal with Niu Baitian's family.

When building the house, Cui Qinghai thought about the division of the family. So when he built the house, he built the second and youngest son's houses on the left and right sides of his house. The second son's house is next to the eldest son's house. The youngest son's house is next to the third son's house. The next morning, Cui Tianhao found a few brothers who had a good relationship with him and started to build the fence. When building the fence, Cui Tianming said something, and in the end, he only built the fences of the eldest and second sons, and the youngest and third sons.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Just when the Cui family was busy building the wall, He Yuzhu walked to the door of Li Huaide's office and knocked on the door.

Li Huaide heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Come in!"

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked into the office, closed it, and said, "Director, I've already asked my friends. The quantity our factory needs is too large. It will take at least next Tuesday to get it all together. But they don't want to trade directly with the factory. They asked us to find a place. They will send the meat there, and then let me notify the factory to bring the meat back. For my sake, they only want 1.2 yuan per pound." Then he asked, "What do you think?!"

Li Huaide's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk surface, as if thinking about something. After about seven or eight minutes, Li Huaide opened the desk drawer, took out a key, and said, "The warehouse is in Beixin Hutong. The house number is on the key. Notify me when the meat arrives."

"Okay!" He Yuzhu took the key and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Wait!" Li Huaide stopped He Yuzhu who was about to leave and said, "Hurry up your friend to send the meat as soon as possible."

He Yuzhu didn't say much, just nodded and walked out.

Watching the office door close, Li Huaide muttered, "He Yuzhu has quite a lot of connections! I'll try him out another day."

He Yuzhu had no idea what Li Huaide was planning. Even if he knew, he would just sneer twice. After working for a few days as planned, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the factory early Monday morning. After parking his bicycle, He Yuzhu went directly to the factory office building. Just as he was about to go in, He Yuzhu saw Li Huaide walking towards him from not far away. He Yuzhu stopped and waited for Li Huaide to approach, then said, "Director, the meat has arrived. Send someone to get it!"

Li Huaide was stunned and asked, "Are we really here?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go there. Don't forget to give me the money after you weigh it."

"Got it!" Li Huaide responded with a smile, and said, "I'll arrange for someone to pick it up right away."

In the past, it would have been very easy for Li Huaide to get two thousand kilograms of meat. But now meat is scarce, and even if you have a lot of connections, it is not easy to get two thousand kilograms of meat at once. Back in the office, Li Huaide picked up the phone on the table and called Sun Guoqing, the head of the Transportation Department, and then called the Security Department.

After the call, Li Huaide left the office and walked to the factory gate. About five or six minutes later, a truck appeared at the factory gate. Li Huaide sat in the passenger seat, and six people from the security department got into the back of the truck with weapons.

The truck sped along and soon arrived at the destination. After Li Huaide got out of the car and opened the door, he saw twenty bamboo baskets in the yard. Each bamboo basket was filled with pork. Li Huaide checked the meat, nodded with satisfaction, and urged: "Don't just stand there! Load the things in the truck!"

The people from the Security Department immediately became loaders and quickly loaded the bamboo baskets onto the truck.

A quarter of an hour later, the truck returned to the steel mill. When Li Huaide and the people in the logistics warehouse were weighing the meat, Director Yang and Hao Shuji came over after hearing the news. Hao Shuji looked at the meat in the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "Huaide, it's not easy to get this meat, right?!"

Li Huaide smiled and said: "No matter how difficult it is, it is worth it for the workers to have a bite of meat!"

Director Yang asked, "Old Li, will we be able to get meat in the future?!"

Li Huaide said, "Old Yang, it's hard to say. I need to ask others."

The person who manages the logistics warehouse said, "Director, there are a total of 2,127 kilograms of meat. The quality of this meat is good. At least first-class."

Li Huaide said: "Director, Shuji, what should we do with this meat?!"

Director Yang and Hao Shuji looked at each other, and Hao Shuji said, "I think the quality of this meat is good. But there are only more than 2,000 kilograms, which seems a little less."
