Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 242 Chapter 241
After having dinner at Li Shanhe's place in the evening, Li Pingan took Ding Qiunan back to the old house in the village, and went to visit the grave early the next morning.

Because there was an advance notice years ago, the old house was cleaned in advance. The quilts in the house were disassembled and washed a few days ago, and the house was clean.

Not long after the kang was finished, the temperature in the room rose. After a brief wash, Li Pingan and his wife fell asleep hugging each other.

Early the next morning, Li Ping got up and had breakfast at Li Shanhe's place, chatted with the third master and third wife for a while, packed up his things, and walked along the mountain road to Li's ancestor's grave.

After paying homage to the grave of the original elder, he came back and said hello to Li Shanhe. Because the Spring Festival holiday is over tomorrow, he didn't stay in the village too much, and returned to Sijiu City by bicycle.

The way down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain. There is no effort on the way down the mountain, as long as you control the speed and pay attention to avoid accidents.

Back at home, the New Year’s flavor is strong now. The streets are full of children on winter vacation gathering in groups of three or four. Girls gather together to play skipping rope, play house, hide-and-seek and so on.

As for the boys, they played very uniformly, with cannons being fired everywhere, and a few naughty children were busy blowing up the cesspit.

Buy a hanging of small firecrackers, remove the firecrackers one by one, light a piece of incense or a wooden branch to form a fixed fire source, light a small firecracker, and throw it into the cesspit of the public toilet, a group of children Surrounding the cesspit to check the excrement from the firecrackers, the whole street is filled with the smell of latrine.

Clutching his nose, he went back to the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and his wife were not at home, so they asked the neighbors in the courtyard, and learned that Yi Zhonghai and his wife had gone out shopping. After knowing their whereabouts, Li Pingan said to the neighbors. Xie, went into the kitchen to reheat the leftovers of the New Year's Eve dinner, and Ding Qiunan simply filled his stomach.

"I'm going to work tomorrow, when will my parents take them over?" Back in the house, Ding Qiunan was discussing with Li Pingan about his father and mother while tidying up the house.

Although Sanhe is not far from Sijiu City, it is still [-] to [-] kilometers away. If you don't go home to visit the grave, you can indeed go to Sanhe Ding Qiunan's family.

But this is not necessary to go back to the grave, so Li Pingan and Ding Qiunan discussed that they would not go back to their natal family during the Spring Festival. Two days before the Lantern Festival, Ding's father and Ding mother would be brought over from Sanhe, and the family would spend a Lantern Festival together.

"After I start working tomorrow, I will be busy with the family building in the factory. I will probably be busy for a few days. As soon as I finish my work, I will go to Sanhe immediately and bring the old couple over." Li Pingan thought for a while , said to Ding Qiunan.

During the Spring Festival, Mr. Wang's son's family came back to celebrate the New Year. Li Pingan had no chance to raise the matter of building a family building in the factory. He had to wait until the third day of junior high school to go to Mr. Wang's office to see the matter in person.

Ding Qiunan nodded his head to express his understanding. Instead of continuing to discuss this topic, he chatted with Li Pingan whether he should go out for a stroll in the afternoon.

Last year, due to special reasons, Su Ri'an had the only temple fair in Sijiu City, Changdian Temple Fair, suspended. However, although there is no temple fair in Sijiu City, it is still lively during the Spring Festival. Bustling, but compared to usual, you can still go shopping.

When I came to a Spring Festival gathering place, although the street was not long, there were row upon row of stalls here, and the crowd was still turbulent and lively.

There were countless kinds of snacks at the rally, and Li Pingan couldn’t see many foreigners. Miss Xiaoding, who was greedy, fell into the rice bowl. She bought a lot of snacks along the way. It can be said that she ate them all from scratch. tail.

Li Pingan held a lot of food in his arms, and many greedy children followed all the way with saliva.Ding Qiunan was also generous, seeing so many children following him, he generously distributed the snacks and snacks in his hand to these children.

This move made a big fuss, the shy and embarrassing children next to him, after seeing Ding Qiunan handing out snacks, lost face one by one, and stretched out their hands around Ding Qiunan to ask for it.

Seeing so many children surrounding him, Ding Qiunan was dumbfounded. Fortunately, Li Pingan reacted quickly. Before the children completely blocked the two of them, he took Ding Qiunan's little hand and squeezed out of the crowd in embarrassment.

Li Pingan let go of Ding Qiunan's hand when he could no longer see the child, shook his head with a wry smile and said to Miss Xiao Ding, "Seeing what you caused, we were almost surrounded and unable to walk."

"There are so many children looking at me pitifully. Do you think I can't give it to you? Who knew it would attract so many children?" Ding Qiunan also knew that he had done something bad with good intentions, and said with a little embarrassment.

With the interruption of the children, Li Ping'an and his wife did not dare to continue shopping, for fear of being found by those children and surrounding them again.

These children have thicker skins than you imagined. They are all children who have been greedy for a year. If they see an adult who is willing to give snacks, they don’t want their skins anymore. Whether they know them or not, they will come forward to ask for them. If you don’t give them I won't let you go.

The two started shopping again in other places. This time, Miss Xiaoding's memory improved, and she didn't care about the children following behind. She went shopping by herself, as if she couldn't see the children following behind.

Regardless of the age of women, there is no one who does not like shopping. Li Pingan has seen another side of Xiaoding today. Others only shop but don’t buy. Ding Qiunan is shopping and buying. He spends money without blinking , quite a bit like a rich woman.

The young couple wandered around until the evening, until the people at the rally were almost dispersed, and then they left the rally with large and small bags in their hands, and rode bicycles to the courtyard.

Prices in this era are already very low, but the prices at the rally are even lower. All the products are about [-]% cheaper than those in the usual department stores. Don’t look at the big bags and small bags. I bought a lot of things, but I really didn’t spend much. money.

When they got back to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife had already returned. They had already had dinner and were sitting on the stool waiting for the young couple to come back.

The first mother saw Li Pingan coming back with big bags and small bags, and quickly asked the two to sit down and eat.

"Aunt, the two of us won't eat. We ate all the way at the rally in the afternoon, and we are already full." Li Pingan waved his hand and touched his stomach, indicating that he was indeed full.

The first mother heard that the two of them skipped dinner, and knew that there was a lot of food at the rally, so she didn't force her. She got up and put away the leftovers covered on the table and put them back in the kitchen.

Yi Zhonghai, who was listening to the radio, looked at Ding Qiunan with a smile and said, "Qiu Nan, your aunt was at the rally today and saw that things were cheaper than usual, so she bought a lot of things and bought a lot for you too." , you go pick and choose."

"Uncle, I also bought a lot of things for you and auntie, let's not buy again and again." Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Ding Qiunan hurried over to check the items bought by Dama at the market.

These two rich women really had the same idea, taking advantage of the opportunity, things were cheaper than usual, and they carried big and small bags home.

After Ding Qiunan checked the things that Da Ma bought, there were indeed many household items that were duplicated, such as gloves, wool, socks, and various daily necessities.Li Pingan looked at the large number of the same items, and couldn't help but sigh that the family didn't have to buy new ones for several years.

On the second day of work, Li Pingan did not report directly to the procurement department. He first went to the cafeteria procurement department, communicated with the new chief, and asked the four previous subordinates to cooperate with the new leader. Take office immediately.

The office of the Purchasing Section [-] is in the factory office building, on the same floor as the office of the original Section [-]. Li Pingan is also familiar with it.

The layout of Purchasing Section [-] is similar to that of Section [-]. There is a large office area reserved for buyers, and the offices of the section chief and deputy section chief are in small rooms.

All the buyers in Section [-] knew Li Pingan. When they saw Li Pingan coming in, they quickly stood up and greeted Li Pingan enthusiastically.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, Happy New Year"

"Happy New Year, Deputy Section Chief Li"

Li Pingan smiled and nodded to his colleagues in the No. [-] Purchasing Section. Instead of rushing to report to Wu Yajun, he stayed in the big office and chatted with everyone.

These people are all old acquaintances of Li Pingan. When Li Pingan was a buyer in the third department, he had a lot of dealings with the second and third departments, and he was basically familiar with them.

After chatting with these people for a while, Li Pingan came to Wu Yajun's small office and formally reported to the section chief.

They are all acquaintances, and Wu Yajun didn't care about Li Pingan's intentions. He knew that he was just a passing fairy and would not stay in Corey for too long. Li Pingan has been a colleague for two years, and he has left a kind of incense, which may be used in the future.

After a brief conversation between Wu Yajun and Li Pingan, he led Li Pingan to the office next door specially made for Li Pingan.

Wu Yajun put a lot of thought into the layout of the office. The furniture in the room is all the same. It looks like it should have been brought over from the supplies department years ago. telephone.

"Chief Wu, it's a bit late for my deputy department to use a telephone. Don't you have one in your office? It's not suitable for my level to use a telephone." Looking at this telephone, Li Pingan looked at Wu Yajun curiously .

Normally speaking, such things as telephones would not be equipped in the office of Li Pingan's deputy department.With so many departments in the factory, there is usually only one telephone, which is either placed in the large office area or in the office of the chief executive. Few deputy offices are equipped with telephones.

In the past, there was a telephone in the purchasing department, that was because the purchasing department was an independent unit, and Li Pingan belonged to the top leader, and it was equipped under Chen Youfu's care, which was different from the current situation.

Wu Yajun patted Li Pingan's shoulder with a smile, pointed to the phone and said, "Does this phone look familiar to you?"

Hearing Wu Yajun's words, Li Pingan looked at the phone carefully with some doubts, and suddenly felt familiar, so he stepped forward, checked it carefully, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the phone from the purchasing department?" ? Why was it dismantled?"

"Yes, you read that right. This is the one in your original office. Aren't you busy running to the family building recently? Deputy Director Li attaches great importance to it and specifically asked Deputy Director Chen to install a telephone in your office phone, he wants to be able to contact you at any time, so he removed your original phone." Wu Yajun was sour when he said this, and he was very envious of the attention the factory leaders paid to Li Pingan.

Hearing that this was the case, Li Pingan nodded. Naturally, Li Pingan was happy to have a separate telephone. It would be more convenient for him to make outgoing calls in his own office.

After exchanging pleasantries with Wu Yajun, after Wu Yajun left, Li Pingan started to tidy up his new office. Just after tidying up the office, the phone rang.

Li Pingan picked up the phone casually and revealed his identity. "Hi, hello, I'm Li Ping'an from the Purchasing Division [-]"

"Comrade Ping An, I'm Liu Zhidong." The voice of Li Huaide's secretary, Liu Zhidong, came out of the microphone.

Hearing that it was Secretary Liu, Li Ping'an's tone became casual, and he said with a smile: "Secret Liu, I just finished my work, and your call came. Does Director Li have any instructions?"

"I'm going to be busy, so let's make a long story short. Just now, before going to a meeting, Director Li asked me to call you and ask about the construction of a family building in the factory. Have you started working on it yet?"

"No, I didn't find a chance when I went to visit the New Year during the Spring Festival. I plan to go to the General Administration of Materials this afternoon and ask my teacher to mention this matter."

"Okay, I see. You should hurry up and take care of this matter. The leaders of the factory attach great importance to this matter. The first meeting of the factory leaders in the new year will bring up the matter of the family building."

"Don't worry, I'll call the General Administration later and ask, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"With your words, I am relieved, so let's do this first, I will wait for your good news"

"Okay, you go first"

After hanging up the phone, Li Pingan checked the time on his watch. It was already eleven o'clock, and Teacher Wang didn't know if there was a meeting.

After thinking about it, Li Pingan didn't care. He picked up the phone on the table and made a call first to check the situation.

"Hello, please help me connect with the General Administration of Materials and the Office of the General Administration of Materials Distribution. I will call Director Wang Yangzhi. His phone number is 0126"

"Okay, where are you?"

"Red Star Rolling Mill, Deputy Chief of Purchasing Section [-], Li Pingan"

"Okay, I'm connecting you now, please wait a moment"

Since it is not a unit, the call needs to be transferred to several switchboards. After this set of procedures, there is no way to get in touch within a few minutes. Li Pingan simply put the microphone on the table and waited quietly for the call to be connected.

After waiting for a while, a voice came from the microphone, "Hello, I'm Wang Yangzhi, who are you?"
