Siheyuan I have golden fingers

Director Wang is still very impressed with this young man.

It is rare to see a technical secondary school student who graduated as young as Ma Weimin.

"Weimin, it's not worth looking for me for such a small matter."

Ma Weimin said with a smile: "Director Wang, I have been in this courtyard for more than half a year. Before, I was just a poor boy who just entered the city, and I was powerless to help the needy households in our street. Now, I have A little way, but this way is somewhat illegal. I don't know if I should do this, do you have an idea?"

Director Wang looked at Ma Weimin in surprise after hearing the sermon, and said casually, "How many things can there be?"

Ma Weimin approached and said, "I can buy 20 catties of white flour, 100 catties of cornmeal, and some miscellaneous grains every month. In addition, I can also have 20 catties of eggs. As for the lack of live animals, it depends on luck."

Director Wang stood up excitedly.

These materials are not too small, and if they are only distributed to needy households, they can help at least a dozen households.

This is more than half of the number of poor households in the whole street.

As for other needy households, don't they still have the previous subsidies?

Calculated in this way, if Yueyue has the same supplies, the subsidized food run by his sub-district will still have a surplus.

"Wei Min, don't call me Director Wang. Call me Aunt Wang."

Seeing the excited Director Wang, Ma Weimin felt happy, and the relationship was settled.

"Then I will follow along, Aunt Wang."

"You brat, how can you say that about yourself. Is what you said about the food true? There are so many in every month?"

Ma Weimin nodded solemnly: "Assure the people! But Aunt Wang, I still need money."

Director Wang patted the table excitedly, the street office really wasn't short of money and tickets.

Every month, the superiors approved a lot of money and tickets according to the number of needy households, but the supplies were pitifully small.

Now the general environment is that money cannot buy food.

"Weimin, what do you say about the price? You also know that there is a fixed amount of subsidy money, and the price is too high for our street office to afford it." Ma Weimin gestured with his palm: "[-]%, plus [-]% on the market price! "

"So cheap? Weimin, tell me honestly where did this batch of food come from?"

Hearing the price, Director Wang was not only not happy, but worried.

Ma Weimin was silent for a while, and said: "This is an unplanned material, I can only guarantee that the source is okay."

A planned economy, or a planned economic system, also known as a command economy, is an economic system that plans production, resource allocation, and product consumption in advance.The allocation of resources in the planned economy, including what to produce and how much to produce, is determined by government planning.For some materials, for example, the country decided to process 10 parts in the rolling mill, and the rolling mill processed 10.1 parts to ensure the quality.Then the extra 1000 pieces belong to unplanned materials.These unplanned materials cannot be destroyed, so many factories at that time used unplanned materials to exchange raw materials or other materials they needed from other factories.

These unplanned materials are also the targets of competition from various factories.

Director Wang understood when Ma Weimin said that it was an unplanned item.

"Wei Min, even if it's unplanned, isn't the price too cheap?"

"Aunt Wang, I won't hide it from you, the other party gave me the market price. It's just that I need money to ship it back, and the extra [-]% is my shipping fee."

Only then did Director Wang feel relieved.

She smiled and said, "I'm relieved, as long as you don't take money from it."

Ma Weimin said with a smile: "How can I make money? I can earn a little less. It's just that this material can't go through the normal process!"

Director Wang waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's simple. From now on, you will be the material coordinator of our sub-district office. Let me say that you will not be paid. You are just helping the sub-district office to coordinate the supplies. The food is provided by the sub-district office. Got it. ?"

"Understood." Ma Weimin nodded.

This is another idle job.

By the way, I am still a militiaman in Yangjiazhuang, and I don’t know if Brother Wei Guo kicked me out of the militia.

"Weimin, you have solved a big problem for our street office. I will hold a meeting in the courtyard to praise you."

Ma Weimin hurriedly stopped Director Wang, thinking that you are pushing me into the fire pit.

"Aunt Wang, please don't mention this matter in the courtyard. You are not praising me, you are harming me."

Director Wang frowned, I'm helping you gain a good reputation, how can I harm you.

She said a little angrily: "You kid made it clear to me, why did I hurt you?"

Ma Weimin hastened to hold a meeting of the whole courtyard in the previous two months, forcing him to speculate and talk about buying grain.

"Aunt Wang, tell me, if the people in the courtyard know that I help coordinate food for the street, will they force me again?"

Director Wang was very angry, and she patted the table: "What does Yi Zhonghai do for food? I let him help manage the courtyard. That's how he helps me manage it? Isn't this a clear bully? No wonder your courtyard doesn't seem to have any conflicts. I used to think that Yi Zhonghai was able to do things well, but now it seems that he is lying and suppressing all the problems. No, I have to replace the three uncles in your courtyard. If this continues, there will be big problems. .”

Ma Weimin put a bitter face on the side, and said to Director Wang: "Don't, Aunt Wang, the three uncles have been in the courtyard for so many years, it's not appropriate for you to take him!"

In Ma Weimin's heart, he really didn't want the three uncles to be taken down.

The Siheyuan uncle system is actually a non-governmental organization established just after the founding of the People’s Republic of China due to rampant enemy agents and saboteurs.

Later, it gradually evolved into assisting the sub-district to conduct publicity and mediate the existence of conflicts among neighbors.

It played a positive role in the early days of the founding of the country.

Even if the three uncles in the courtyard are all changed now, the new ones may not be better than Yi Zhonghai and the others.

At the very least, no matter how hypocritical Yi Zhonghai is, he is still a gentleman on the surface.

Ma Weimin hoped that after the wind blows, the order would be chaotic, and it wouldn't matter if he had the position of uncle in the yard or not.

Director Wang glanced at Ma Weimin angrily: "I said I wanted to take them down, but I didn't say I would take them now. That's fine, I'll keep this in mind. They'd better not make mistakes in the future, or else, hum!"

Ma Weimin smiled awkwardly, thinking too much.

Director Wang took a sip of water, put down the water glass and said, "Wei Min, when will these supplies arrive?"

Ma Weimin said seriously: "The material has arrived, I put it outside the city."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, let's go get supplies together."

Ma Weimin looked at the time: "Aunt Wang, let's go after get off work in the afternoon, I'm late for work now."

Chapter 49

Director Wang went to the door, opened the door, and shouted to the outside: "Xiao Zhou, come here."

A youth clerk came over.

"Go, go to the Purchasing Section of the rolling mill and tell us that Comrade Ma Weimin, the purchaser of their factory, is now also the material coordinator of our street office. The street office has a task this morning, and Comrade Ma Weimin will be seconded for a day."

The young man surnamed Zhou wrote it down and left.

Director Wang turned his head, looked at Ma Weimin and said, "Now you don't have to be afraid of being late for work."

Ma Weimin had nothing to say.

Seeing that Director Wang wanted to go with him to pick up supplies again,

He quickly refused: "Aunt Wang, I don't have much, I'll do it myself."

Director Wang didn't insist either, but just urged him to act quickly.

Ma Weimin left the street office, rode his bicycle around and came back.

There are a few extra bags and a hanging basket on the bike.

He returned to the sub-district office again, and went into Director Wang's office with his things.

When Director Wang saw Ma Weimin coming in with his things, he got up and came to greet him.

She took a bag, opened it and saw that it was stick noodles, and felt relieved now.

"Aunt Wang, each bag weighs more than 30 catties of stick noodles, and one bag of 20 catties of white noodles. I put the eggs in the yard."

He leaned in front of Director Wang again: "Aunt Wang, there is an old hen, I will take you home tonight."

Director Wang narrowed his eyes and nodded expressionlessly.

After watching the food, Director Wang followed Ma Weimin to the courtyard to look at the eggs.

"Such a big one? This number is much less."

Looking at the egg in front of him, Director Wang said a little worriedly.

这时候鸡都没什么吃的，下的鸡蛋按重量算10-12个差不多1斤，小的甚至能到15个。马卫民拿来的鸡蛋个大，最多7-8个就能有1斤了。

Director Wang was a little bit reluctant to go on.

Ma Weimin said with a smile: "The sub-district office can use these eggs itself. It can't be said that everything has to be handed out. The comrades of the sub-district office help the neighbors to mediate conflicts every day. It is very fortunate."

Director Wang glanced at Ma Weimin, then looked back at the clerks who were peeking here and nodded.

"Then don't distribute the eggs, let everyone in the street office share a few."

There were cheers in the house.

After seeing everything, Director Wang went to the finance office to get the money and tickets and gave them to Ma Weimin.

Seeing Ma Weimin counting the money, Director Wang said with satisfaction: "Weimin, you said that you want to renovate the house. Have you found the mason? Are all the materials ready?"

Ma Weimin shook his head and explained: "I came here today to report first, and then to discuss the food with Aunt Wang. I haven't found the mason or the materials yet."

Director Wang said: "The sub-district office still had some materials that were not used up when it was repaired two years ago. You go to Qin Lao Hutong to find a mason named Wu Laoer, and ask him to get the materials from the sub-district office after measuring your house. Then you will give Just some money."

Ma Weimin became excited when he heard this, he didn't give away this thing for nothing.

The materials for the street office must be bricks, tiles and cement. These are not like wood boards, they are relatively difficult to obtain materials.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, I'll go now."

Director Wang waved his hand and said: "Let's go quickly, remember to come to my house for dinner at night, and take you to your unmarried daughter-in-law."

"That's unfortunate. Tonight I have to entertain the three elders in the courtyard. Tomorrow, tomorrow will arrive."

After Ma Weimin left, Director Wang notified the people in the street office to hold a collective meeting.

At the meeting, Director Wang decided that Ma Weimin would temporarily serve as the Material Coordinator of the Street Office.

And distributed the 20 catties of eggs.

At the end of the meeting, it was emphasized that this matter should not be publicized.

Ma Weimin, Qin's old alley, inquired and found Wu's second home.

The home of Wu's second son is also a large courtyard, and there are seven or eight families living in the courtyard of the second entrance.

Wu's second son lived in the backyard, and Ma Weimin had already been notified when he arrived.

I saw a shriveled old man in his late [-]s coming out of the West Wing in the backyard.

When he stepped out of the house, he shouted, "Who is looking for me?"

Ma Weimin stepped forward: "Are you Comrade Wu the second mason?"

The second Wu took a look at Ma Weimin. He was young and dressed in ordinary clothes, and he didn't look like a rich man.

The days are sad recently, he has not received work for 5 days.

The food at home is almost gone.

I thought it would be a pleasure for someone to find me, but I knew it was a small job just by looking at Ma Weimin's clothes.

Hey, it's better to be alive than to be hungry.

"It's me, my name is Wu Qiqiang, and my nickname is Wu Laoer. Comrade, what do you want me to do?"

When Ma Weimin heard Wu Qiqiang, should I build a wall?

This is a natural craftsman!

Ma Weimin took out a bag of Daqianmen, took out one and handed it to Wu Erer.

Wu Laoer took the cigarette, took out a match, lit it, and started smoking.

"Master Wu, my name is Ma Weimin, and I just want to separate my house with bricks and planks."

Wu Er Er nodded, exhaled a puff of smoke ring and said, "Okay, Xiaohuo. I'll go and see with you."

When the two arrived at Ma Weimin's house, Qin Huairu had already returned to Jia's house.

At home, only Qin Jingru was listening to the radio in the room.

Seeing Ma Weimin coming in with a strange old man, he stood up and said, "Brother Weimin, who is this?"

Ma Weimin replied: "Jingru, I want to divide our house into two rooms. This is Master Wu. Master Wu, this is my daughter-in-law who has never been married."
