Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Son, after you leave here and find a place to live again, you must open another leather goods shop to pass on the tradition of our old Chen family."

"Also, you must marry a daughter-in-law to continue the family lineage of our old Chen family."

"Besides, from now on, you must keep your tail between your legs and not be as arrogant as before."

On that night when the north wind was howling, Chen Chizi climbed out of the window with Chen's father's sustenance. Seeing that the Chen family's leather shop behind him was in flames, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the darkness.

After Chen Chizi left his hometown, he originally planned to find a small place to start a new life.

But he couldn't let go of his hatred. He wanted to find out what was going on with that white butler and who was plotting against him behind his back.

He wants revenge and wants all those who framed him to feel the loss of their families.

So Chen Zhizi came to the capital with the two hundred taels of silver.

But what he expected was that after a year-long visit, he did not find a housekeeper named Bai in any royal palace in the capital.

Only then did Chen Chizi realize that the so-called Butler Bai must have been invited by the cobblers who were jealous of them. Everything was a trap against him from the beginning.

It's just that those cobblers are very powerful, and Chen Chizi is now penniless, so he doesn't have the strength to take revenge at all.

So he decided to live in the capital for now and wait for the opportunity to come back for revenge.

It's just that in the capital city at that time, the high-ranking officials were no longer interested in rough leather goods. Instead, they preferred silk and satin clothing with a smooth feel and beautiful appearance.

The few leather goods stores are half-dead, and even if he opens a new leather goods store, it will not make much difference.

Therefore, Chen Chizi planned to open a silk and satin shop.

Silk tailoring and leather goods tailoring are two completely different professions, so Chen Chizi worked as an apprentice in a silk and satin shop for two years.

I have to say that this guy may be a little lacking in sophistication, but he is particularly skilled in sewing.

After becoming an apprentice, Chen Chizi took the two hundred taels of silver and opened a shop called Chen Ji Silk and Satin Shop in Zhengyangmen. He also married a wife and had children, which was regarded as fulfilling Chen's father's long-cherished wish.

After hearing this past incident, Li Weidong felt a sigh of relief in his heart. Those people were so cruel that they could kill people just because of jealousy.

He looked at Chen Xueru and said, "Then has your father taken revenge?"

"It's not that easy to get revenge. After more than ten years of development, the silk and satin shop has finally grown, and my father has also saved a lot of money. He originally planned to return to his hometown and settle the accounts with the cobblers. But at that time, the war was in turmoil. It is almost impossible to go back. In addition, he already has several children like our brothers and sisters, and he also has concerns in his heart. So this matter has been delayed." Chen Xueru sighed and said: "My two brothers are not interested in tailors. I became a worker in a factory because of my interest. I am considered the heir to the Chen family's tailoring. When my father was dying, he did not talk about revenge. He just told me that if I had a chance, I must sew a tiger skin. To fulfill his wish back then.”

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Li Weidong immediately handed the tiger skin to Chen Xueru for sewing.

Chen Xueru obviously cherished this opportunity, put down the work at hand, and devoted herself to her work.

Although it was her first time to sew leather goods, Chen's father had been teaching her the skills of sewing leather goods over the years in order to prevent the Chen family's ancestral skills from being lost.

In addition, the leather goods that Fatty got from the Northeast this time are first-class leather goods. Whether it is strength or completeness, they are incomparable to ordinary leather goods.

Therefore, it only took two hours for Chen Xueru to successfully sew the leather mattress.

Folding it carefully and handing it to Li Weidong, Chen Xueru said gratefully: "Brother Weidong, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome. How much does it cost?" Li Weidong took out the money from his pocket as he spoke.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand quickly and said: "No need, you have helped me a lot by letting me sew tiger skins. Besides, this is no longer a Chenji silk and satin shop, but a public-private partnership silk and satin shop. It is not Running a business of sewing leather goods.”

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Li Weidong was not a stingy person, so he took the leather mattress at that time.

Just as he was about to go out, he stopped again and turned to look at the satin pajamas hanging on the rack.

Different from the pajamas sold in department stores, the pajamas here are made of better materials, made of satin, and the styles are also very novel.

"What's wrong, if you like it, I can give you a preferential price." Chen Xueru said with a smile.

Li Weidong pointed to a pajama on the shelf and said: "I want this style. I bought it for my wife, but the size is a little larger. She is pregnant now."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Li Weidong has not bought any good clothes for Yu Li since he married Yu Li. Today happened to happen, so naturally he couldn't miss it.

"Your wife is pregnant." After Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, she nodded quickly and said, "No problem, the materials are ready, but it will get dark soon and I should get off work. How about you pick it up tomorrow? ?”

"Okay, how much is the total cost of materials and labor costs?" Li Weidong said.

Because the silk and satin in the silk and satin shop are all recorded, Chen Xueru did not mention free of charge this time, and charged the satin and handicraft fees according to the cost price.

Li Weidong didn't care about this. After handing the money to Chen Xueru, he turned and left the silk and satin shop.

When I rode my bicycle back to the courtyard, it was almost dinner time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui playing with flowers and plants under the eaves.

Hearing the footsteps and raising his head, Yan Bugui quickly put down the flowerpot in his hand and rushed up when he saw Li Weidong approaching.

"Weidong, Weidong, please wait a moment."

Hearing this, Li Weidong stopped and looked at Yan Bugui in surprise: "Old Yan, what's the matter?"

Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "Weidong, I heard that you went to Shuangshui Village this time and brought back a little girl from there."

"That's what happened, what's the matter?" Li Weidong frowned subconsciously. Yan Bugui, an old guy, has been getting more and more outrageous recently, and he doesn't have good intentions every time.

Yan Bugui also felt Li Weidong's dissatisfaction, but for the sake of Yan Jiecheng's future, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Weidong, my Jiecheng family doesn't have a partner yet, how about you introduce that Orchid girl to my Jiecheng family."

"What are you thinking of?" Although Li Weidong had already expected it, he was still taken aback by Yan Bugui's whims.

Yan Jiecheng is twenty-six years old this year, and he is divorced. Sun Lanhua is only eighteen or nineteen years old. They are not suitable for each other.

But Yan Bugui didn't see it that way. He clasped his fingers and said, "Weidong, although my family Jie Cheng is older and divorced, he is still from the city. Although he does not have a formal job, he has a livelihood. If Lan Hua marries into our family, she will definitely not be wronged in the future."

"I'm not aggrieved. Do I follow you to eat chaffy vegetables?"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he ignored Yan Bugui and returned home on his bicycle.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the delicious aroma of food. Now that Yu Li was getting heavier and heavier, she had already asked for leave from the street office. Her biggest job every day was to cook for Li Weidong.

"Brother Wei Dong, you are back. Sit down quickly and I will bring the food right away."

Seeing Yu Li turning around and going to the kitchen, Li Weidong stopped her with a smile: "Look what I bought you."

As he spoke, he took out the leather mattress from the bag.

"Tiger skin?!" Yu Li was shocked when she saw the leather mattress. This was the first time she saw a leather mattress.

Li Weidong smiled and said: "Winter is getting colder and colder now, and this thing will definitely keep you warmer."

A warm current surged through Yu Li's heart. If a man could think of her like this, what else could she complain about?

She spread the leather mattress on the bed, and Yu Li sat gently on it, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Brother Wei Dong, do you think I look like the king of the mountain?"    Li Weidong: "."

Yu Li couldn't put it down for this leather mattress. Even while eating, she kept talking about the leather mattress.

"Brother Wei Dong, you may not know that Yu Haitang likes this kind of new gadgets the most. If she sees it, she will definitely snatch it from me."

Li Weidong felt a headache when he mentioned Yu Haitang. When he was in Shuangshui Village, Yu Haitang went crazy and wrote to him.

I often receive four or five letters from Yu Haitang a week.

However, after returning to the capital this time, Li Weidong deliberately did not go to see Qin Jingru.

The reason is simple. This girl is a little anxious now. She should be calmed down.

have dinner.

Li Weidong took Yu Li in his arms, lay on the leather mattress, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

Li Weidong got on his bicycle and went to the steel rolling mill first. After handling the work in the poverty alleviation workshop, he called Qin Jingru into the office.

"Director Li, you are looking for me."

Qin Jingru always calls Li Weidong her master in the poverty alleviation workshop, which is what Li Weidong admires about her.

This girl knows propriety.

Li Weidong put down the materials and said with a smile: "Comrade Qin Jingru, is the warehouse in the backyard of our poverty alleviation workshop still empty?"

"Of course, that warehouse used to store supplies delivered by the Materials Department. Later, we cut off the supply channel of the Materials Department, so it became free." Qin Jingru felt a little confused, but she answered honestly.

Li Weidong nodded: "Since it is used to store supplies, let's marry that warehouse to the buyers in our workshop. This will also be more conducive to the procurement work of our comrades."

"Understood, I will make arrangements now. In addition, I also feel that the buyer's work is very cumbersome and ordinary workers should not be allowed to disturb his work, so I will inform the workers and team leaders in the workshop that he cannot be disturbed on weekdays. Go to the warehouse."

Qin Jingru knew the relationship between Li Weidong and Fatty Yu. Now that Li Weidong specifically mentioned this warehouse, it must have important uses.

This girl is getting smarter and smarter. Li Weidong nodded: "Then I'll help you."

Qin Jingru said boldly: "Then will you reward me?"

Li Weidong: "."

As a workshop assistant, Qin Jingru takes the place of Li Weidong as the workshop director and manages the workshop on weekdays.

So she quickly arranged things in the warehouse, and she specially arranged for two workers to help clean up the warehouse.

After everything was settled, Qin Jingru gave the key to Fatty Yu: "Purchaser Yu, this warehouse will be under your control from now on!"

Fatty Yu didn't expect Li Weidong to do things so quickly, so he nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Assistant Qin."

After sending Qin Jingru away, Fatty Yu immediately took Pengzi and his gang of brothers to move all the food in the courtyard to the warehouse.

What made him even more excited was that the back door of the warehouse was connected to the outside, and he could enter and exit the steel rolling mill without passing through the gate of the steel rolling mill.

"This is such a good place!" Fatty Yu sat on a chair, humming a ditty as he watched Pengzi and the others working there.

"If you have a chance, you should have two more drinks with Brother Weidong."

At this time, Li Weidong had already ridden his bicycle and came to Chen Ji Silk and Satin Store.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liao Yucheng, who was beaten violently by him yesterday, sitting in front of the counter.

His forehead was wrapped in gauze, and his right wrist was hung with a bandage. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked as pitiable as possible.

Liao Yucheng raised his head and saw Li Weidong, was startled, and immediately reacted.

"Okay, you still dare to come, just wait, I will find someone to deal with you now!"

This guy was smarter this time. After he finished speaking, he ran away quickly before Li Weidong could take action.

Of course, Liao Yucheng would not be so impulsive on weekdays.

After returning from the hospital last night, Liao Yucheng went to Chen Xueru's place for dinner as usual. Unexpectedly, Chen Xueru changed her usual enthusiasm. Instead of entertaining him warmly, she pushed her out.

Liao Yucheng finally understood that Chen Xueru must have fallen in love with the little director, so she looked down on him.

In Liao Yucheng's eyes, Chen Xueru is just a plump white swan.

It was about to be eaten, but now it was about to fly. Naturally, Liao Yucheng would not accept it.

Today Li Weidong happened to come to his door again, so he naturally had to find a way to deal with Li Weidong.

Of course, Liao Yucheng also has confidence.

He is a street office clerk and a public manager of a silk and satin shop, while Li Weidong is just a small director. It's not easy to deal with Li Weidong.

Liao Yucheng ran all the way to the Zhengyangmen Subdistrict Office.

The gatekeeper saw Liao Yucheng and said hello: "Yucheng, what are you doing in such a hurry!"

Liao Yucheng ignored him and went straight into the courtyard.

The gatekeeper rolled his eyes in anger.

When Liao Yucheng first came to the sub-district office as a temporary worker, his attitude was extremely good. Every time I saw him, he was like a big boy but not a big boy.

From time to time, he also gave him a few packs of cigarettes and asked the gatekeeper to put in a good word for him.

Ever since he fell in love with Deputy Director Liu, Liao Yucheng's tail has been raised. Even when he talks to people, he doesn't look at them seriously.

The guard looked at Liao Yucheng's back and shook his head: "This kid will fall into trouble sooner or later."

Liao Yucheng, injured all over, appeared at the subdistrict office and instantly attracted the attention of his colleagues.

"Yucheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it. I'm now the manager of Chen Ji Tailor Shop. I was beaten by a customer yesterday!" Liao Yucheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
