Siheyuan: The Final Winner

New Year's Eve.

Jiang Ping'an slept in He Yushui's room for half the night.

It was not until dawn that he returned to his home.

After going back to sleep, when I woke up again, it was already daylight.

I looked at the time, it was past eight o'clock.

Jiang Ping'an lazily got up, dressed properly, and went to the bathroom first.

When he came back, he saw Yan Jiedi hovering in front of his door.

Hearing footsteps, Yan Jiedi looked back, smiled and said:

"Brother Ping An, Happy New Year! Do you need to clean your room these days?"

"No! During the few days of Chinese New Year, you just have to play." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Yan Jiedi snorted, looked around, took out a kraft paper bag from her pocket, and handed it over.

"Brother Ping An, help me hide these candies. I haven't found a place to hide them at home."

Jiang Pingan nodded, took it, put it in his pocket, and asked with a smile:

"How many more?"

"Last night, I gave one to everyone in the family, and I ate one myself. I still have one in my pocket."

Yan Jiedi counted with her hands, then raised her face and said:

"Put twelve here with you, and I'll get them when I want to eat."

"Okay, but I'm going to the countryside for a few days, why don't you take a few more?" Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Yan Jiedi shook her head and said, "No, I want to keep it."

"After school starts, I will exchange it with my classmates for money."

"Hey, Xie Di, your idea is very good!" Jiang Pingan said unexpectedly.

Such a small girl actually knows how to plan for the future and save money.

"Then let me ask you, what do you plan to spend after you save the money?"

Yan Jiedi was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Can I not spend it? It's good to keep it!"

Jiang Pingan almost laughed out loud, he nodded and said:

"It's okay not to spend it, but if you change the money, you can let me stay here in the future?"

"Well, I'll just let Brother Pingan stay here, I feel at ease." Yan Jiedi nodded and said.

After the matter was settled, Yan Jiedi went home easily.

This girl probably didn't sleep well last night because of hiding sugar, and her face was a little tired.

Jiang Ping'an returned to the room, washed his face and brushed his teeth, then took out his Chinese tunic suit, overcoat, and leather shoes and put them on.

It's the first day of the new year, so I must dress decently.

After tidying up, I was about to go out when I heard footsteps.

Jiang Ping'an came to the living room, looked out, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, Old Cui, you came too late!"

Seeing someone coming, he took a few steps and went up to shake hands to greet him.

Director Cui held a cloth bag in one hand, shook hands with him, laughed loudly and said:

"Haha...Brother Jiang, forgive me!"

"I've been busy years ago, and I just took the time to visit today!"

As he spoke, he handed over the cloth bag again, and whispered:

"Be careful, don't be disgusted."

Jiang Pingan took it over, took a look inside, immediately smiled, and said:

"It turned out to be double, I don't dislike that, haha..."

There were originally two bottles of Moutai and two Huazi, but now there are four bottles of Moutai and four Huazi.

With that said, the two came to the living room and sat down.

Jiang Pingan poured a glass of water for Director Cui and said with a smile:

"What were you busy with years ago? You can't spare time to come to my place!"

"Fortunately, you asked Uncle Zhao to bring the message, otherwise I would have gone straight to you."

Director Cui chuckled, looked outside the door, and whispered back:

"For the upgrade!"

"Oh? Seeing your happy face, it should be all right!" Jiang Ping'an smiled.

"Congratulations, you have become a senior cadre. When will you be promoted?"

Director Cui shook his head and said, "When the rank is up, the position will not be changed."

"The past two years have been difficult, and the factory must focus on stability."

"So I'm in the machine repair shop, and I will stay for a while, and stand on the last shift."

"When to transfer, the superior should consider it."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's enough to go up the rank, and the job is a matter of time."

"It's said that Lao Zhao almost lost his hair in order to upgrade, and there is no sign of it yet!"

At this level, each level is extremely difficult.

Especially stepping from the fourteenth level to the thirteenth level is a big hurdle.

Many people have never been promoted in their entire lives.

Director Cui said solemnly:

"Brother, speaking of it, I can upgrade, thanks to you!"

"If it hadn't been for your support in the past two years, the life of our factory would have been even more difficult."

"Your materials have made a great contribution to the stability of the machine repair shop."

"So, I specially came to thank you on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

"I don't have anything else to say. If my brother needs me in the future, please feel free to speak up!"

Jiang Pingan waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, if I really want to ask you for help, I won't be polite."

"I just hope that I will find you more times at that time, and you don't find it troublesome!"

"Haha, how dare you dislike it, absolutely not, haha..." Director Cui shook his head and laughed.

The two talked and laughed for more than an hour.

Jiang Pingan stayed with Director Cui for dinner.

Director Cui said that he would visit several leaders' homes, and he would invite Jiang Ping'an to dinner next time.

Jiang Ping'an was in a hurry to go to the countryside, so he didn't want to keep him.

After sending off Director Cui, he turned around and saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the middle courtyard.

"Ping An, is this Director Cui from the machine repair shop?"

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, but it won't be long."

"I'm afraid he will become our deputy factory director."

"Huh? Has he improved?" Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "I'm here, the position will not be changed for the time being, but it will be a matter of time."

"Hehe, you really have a wide range of ways, and all these leaders can visit you." Yi Zhonghai said enviously.

Although he has no official addiction, he also has vanity.

Not to mention the director of the subordinate unit, the deputy director of the rolling mill in the future.

He would be happy even if a section chief came to his house.

After all, this is a very respectable thing.

Of course, if he can get advanced.

During the Chinese New Year, the factory manager will definitely come to his home with gifts to express condolences.

The problem is that he hasn't advanced for a long time now.

Although he is old, but the factory manager is also busy, it is impossible to go to every employee's family to condolences.

Therefore, only a few poor households are generally selected.

And some model workers, advanced individuals, and outstanding workers in some factories visited and expressed condolences.

Jiang Pingan smiled, didn't answer, and changed the subject:

"Master, it's getting late. I'm in a hurry to go to the countryside, so I won't talk much."

"What's the matter, it won't be too late when I come back."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Alright then, walk slowly on the road!"

The bicycle is galloping on the road, and the cold wind is whistling in the ear.

The air was as dry as ever, and the countryside was bleak.

Looking up, the eyes are full of yellow, desolate and chilling.

When he came to the main road and the fork leading to Liangjia Village, Jiang Pingan stopped for a rest.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a burlap bag from the space and filled it with half a bag of sweet potatoes.

Then, I put some potatoes, cabbage, radishes, two cans of lard and other ingredients into the sack.

Another two cloth bags were taken and filled with 30 catties of white flour and 30 catties of delicate cornmeal respectively.

Qin Jingru is in the countryside and needs to prepare food for her.

After the new year, I don't know when I will be free to go to the countryside!

Get it right, all strapped to the back seat.

Thinking about Chinese New Year these days.

Today is different from the past, I'm afraid I want to invite Qin Jingru's family to come over for a meal.

So I took another rooster, a carp, three catties of bacon, and a small bag of melon seeds and peanuts.
