Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

After Xu Dongsheng came out of the police station, he did not go anywhere else. Now the time was almost up and Old Xu was about to get off work, so Xu Dongsheng immediately chose to go home and prepare meals for Old Xu.

After returning to the courtyard, it was already late, the sun was setting, and everyone came out to enjoy the cool air and chat. Everyone saw Xu Dongsheng pushing his bicycle back. Although the bicycle was not new, it was still a bicycle.

No one dislikes Mercedes-Benz in this era. So Xu Dongsheng walked into the yard almost under everyone's gaze. Although they had known that both Xu Dongsheng and his son had jobs and had been mentally prepared, they were still a little upset when they saw Xu Dongsheng pushing the bicycle back.

"The Xu family is amazing. Old Xu gets 72 yuan a month, and now the Xu family's kid gets more than 20 yuan. If he can get a permanent job, that would be 33 yuan. By then, the Xu family's salary would be more than 100 yuan a month.

This is more than a hundred a month, wow, it's equivalent to an eighth-level worker. How can I finish it? I'm afraid I can eat meat every day. I can't imagine it. If our family can live like this, it would be comfortable. "

"Of course not. This Xu family kid is still on the clerk route. He may even become a cadre in the future. Moreover, although this purchaser is not one of the eight major officials, he has purchasing power. As long as he has money, he can find ways to get things. By then, the Xu family will have no problem eating meat every day. I estimate that in two days at most, the Xu family will have a matchmaker coming to their door."

"Bullshit, it's too early to get married. The Xu family kid is only 18 years old now. He can't register yet, and he can't even get a letter of introduction."

"You are so stubborn. Is the age issue a problem? Does anyone know if Old Xu reported the wrong date of birth for his kid?"

"But wasn't Xu Dongsheng still a baby when Old Xu moved in? How could he have given a wrong age?"

"You said it's right, so it's right? You're just stubborn. But, this matter depends on what the old Xu and his son say. They can choose now, but if we choose, others will not be interested."

Xu Dongsheng returned to the room, but the discussion about him had just begun. Everyone was talking about Xu Dongsheng's marriage problems.

Xu Dongsheng didn't know about these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have much of an idea. Anyway, there was no need to consider anything else right now, especially when it came to marriage. He had to be even more cautious.

Because Xu Dongsheng has a golden finger, his future is destined to be extraordinary, and his wife must not be too ordinary, otherwise, marrying the wrong wife will ruin four generations.

"Mom, has Xu Dongsheng across the street really become a buyer for the steel mill?"

Almost all the students in the courtyard have returned. Except for the eldest brother, the second, third and fourth brothers of Yan Bugui's family have all returned. Seeing the smell of food wafting from Xu Dongsheng's house across the street, the already dry weather made the brothers even more irritable and restless.

"No, he looks so arrogant, even though he's just a trainee buyer. He's so proud of himself. I don't know if he can be promoted to a regular employee. When I saw him pushing his bicycle outside during the day, I thought he was a very capable person, but he came back empty-handed in the afternoon.

I have inquired clearly. The task for this batch of new buyers to become regular employees is not a three-year apprenticeship. Instead, they are given a fixed task of two months and two thousand kilograms of food. Tsk, tsk, they need to get fifty or sixty kilograms of food a day. Where can they get it? I guess he is only arrogant for a few days. "

The third aunt naturally watched Xu Dongsheng push his bicycle into the house. During the day, she was indignant and poured cold water on Xu Dongsheng. But in the evening, Xu Dongsheng pushed his bicycle back again. However, when Xu Dongsheng came back, the bicycle was empty and Xu Dongsheng was also empty.

So the third aunt guessed that Xu Dongsheng had gone out to purchase goods this time and returned empty-handed. She looked disdainful and contemptuous of Xu Dongsheng's job as a buyer, but in her heart she was thinking, how great it would be if this buyer's job could be given to Yan Jiefang or Yan Jiekuang.

"Mom, maybe he just went out to show off. If he went to buy things, how could he go out at noon and come back in the afternoon? In our city, it's basically impossible. The landlords don't have any spare grain, let alone ordinary people like us."

Seeing the disdain of the three aunts, Yan Jiefang, the oldest child besides Yan Jiecheng, had a look of wisdom in his eyes, as if if the buyer's job fell on him, he might be able to complete it easily.

"You know a lot, so you should study hard and surpass the evil-hearted Xu Dongsheng when you graduate."

When Yan Jiefang was analyzing further, Yan Bugui came in from outside. Yan Bugui was still obsessed with the fact that Xu Dongsheng had cheated him of his fishing rod, and he felt resentful when looking at Xu Dongsheng.

"I know, Dad. Even if I can't get into a technical secondary school, I'll still be able to get into a high school. I'm definitely better than Xu Dongsheng, that idiot with strong limbs and a simple mind."

Yan Jiefang was confident about this. Although he was not very good at studying, at least he could understand what he read and would have no problem with the exams. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely achieve more than Xu Dongsheng.

"Well, this brat has a bicycle now. Even though it's an old one from the steel mill, it's still a bicycle after all. The cheaper ones cost 120 yuan, and you need a ticket. No, we can't fall too far behind. We have to be more frugal in the future and buy a bicycle for our family."

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, Yan Bugui nodded, and then began to mutter in his heart that their family had to buy a bicycle as well, otherwise they would be outshined by Xu Dongsheng.

"Dad, can our family afford a bicycle?"

When they heard the word "bicycle", all the children in Yan Bugui's family stared at Yan Bugui.

"Humph, if you don't have enough food and clothes, you won't be poor. If you don't plan well, you will be poor. What is there in our family that we haven't saved up little by little? From now on, we should reduce the amount of food, drink and daily necessities. It won't be long before we can have a bicycle."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed and he looked at his own children with disdain, thinking that they still had not inherited such a perfect calculating ability from their family.

"Ah? Are you going to deduct food from me again?"

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi didn't react much, and they were already thinking about the day when they would have bicycles. But Yan Jiefang, the young boy, was different. He was not a fool. From what Yan Bugui said, he was going to cut their food expenses.

"Then what else can we do? You guys are all studying, and I'm the only one earning money at home. If I don't start with food, where can I start?"

Yan Bugui glanced at Yan Jiefang and gave him a look that said, "Congratulations, you got the answer right, but your food will still be deducted." Yan Jiefang felt disappointed. He was already hungry, and now it was even harder. But now Yan Bugui was the mainstay of the family. He had the final say on major family matters, and would only discuss minor matters with them.

Buying a bicycle is a big deal, so naturally Yan Bugui has the final say. Eating and sleeping are also big deals, anyway, as long as Yan Bugui is the head of the family, nothing will happen. And Yan Bugui can also make sense to you, so even if you suffer a loss, it means it is reasonable.
