Chapter 73 Transfer of Workstation
After dinner, Li Pingan watched Yu Li feeding her baby and talked about the workstation.
Yu Li thought for a long time and said, "Then let's sell it. It's so hard to find a job now. I heard there are too many disaster victims outside, and all the units are full. How much do you think we can sell it for?"
"We are buyers, but many people don't want to do this job now. I guess the salary is only about 500 to 600 yuan. If it's other positions, it may be more."
When she heard that there were five or six hundred, Yu Li's money-grubbing nature erupted again.
"I thought I could sell more now. If I had taken a different position, wouldn't I be able to sell an extra 100 or 200 now?"
Li Pingan patted her head gently and said, "Can you be so comfortable in other positions? You spend the whole day chatting and reading newspapers in the office. If I ask you to go to the workshop or the cafeteria and try, you will be tired after a few days and don't want to go anymore."
Li Pingan and his friends were talking about work stations at home, and Yan Bugui's family was also holding a meeting to discuss the matter.
Yan Bugui called all the family members together. He sat at the table and told them that Li Pingan was going to transfer Yu Li's work position.
After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately said happily: "Dad, we must get it this time. You don't know that there is no work at the street office now. Those disaster victims from other places can't be arranged. I heard that now a street has several people assigned to clean up. Originally one person's salary, now several people share it equally. There are too many people doing odd jobs outside, and everyone rushes to do it as long as there is food. I haven't received any work for a long time."
Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Now there are two problems. The first is that Yu Li's job is in the purchasing department. If she goes there, she will probably be a buyer. As you know, one of their buyers was beaten to death in the countryside last year. Are you still willing to go?"
"Second, it's about the money. Now a good formal job pays 700-800 yuan, and this position will be a formal job in a few months. By then, the minimum monthly salary will be 23 yuan. How much do you think our family should pay?"
The second aunt also said, "Yes, Jiecheng, a buyer has to go to the countryside frequently. And there are tasks. You should think about it carefully."
Yan Jiecheng thought for a long time and said, "I still want to go. I can't even find a partner now that I don't have a job. Have you forgotten that the woman someone introduced to me some time ago fell through because she despised me for not having a job?"
"Besides, Li Ping'an has been doing this for several years. You see, he is basically at home most of the time. This job is so free. I don't believe I can be worse than him."
While Yan Bugui was still thinking, Yan Jiecheng said, "Dad, although Li Ping'an's house is usually locked, there is often a smell coming out of his house. Does he often eat meat secretly? I guess these are exchanged in the countryside, or obtained in the mountains. If I become a buyer, do you think our family can eat meat often?"
This reason not only made Yan Bugui and the second aunt waver, but also Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang and other children were very excited. They thought it would be great if they could eat meat at home in the future.
Other families might not know, but Yan Bugui's family was too close. Although Li Ping'an closed the door, they could still occasionally smell the smell coming from the kitchen.
Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, you are the second uncle in the courtyard. He shouldn't ask for too much if you go and tell him, right? Why don't you go and ask. This job is too popular now. Even street sweeping jobs are popular. If we are late, we will have no chance."
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's anxious expression, and thinking that it would be a good thing if he could really bring some meat home in the future, he stood up, took a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes that had been stored for a long time, and went out.
When he arrived at Li Ping'an's house, he saw that there was no one around, so he knocked on the door.
Li Pingan was watching Yu Li feeding her child at home. He saw the child was eating so deliciously and wanted to try it too. But Yu Li slapped him aside. He could only watch and swallow his saliva.
When I heard the knock on the door, I used my spiritual sense to see that it was Yan Bugui, and I knew why he came.
Yu Li said: "Who is here now?"
As Li Ping'an walked out, he said, "It must be the second uncle Yan Bugui. I met him at the gate when he came back this afternoon. He was asking about your workstation. I guess he went back and discussed it with Yan Jiecheng. I'll go take a look."
He opened the door for Yan Bugui and let him into the living room.
Yan Bugui said, "Ping An, I won't beat around the bush. You see, my Jie Cheng grew up with you, and now he doesn't even have a job. It's even harder for him to find a wife. Can you transfer your workstation to him? That way I can feel more at ease."
Li Pingan looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Second Uncle, your family and mine are neighbors, so it doesn't matter who you transfer it to. But today one of our colleagues also asked, and he offered me 650. I'm planning to discuss this with Yu Li. What do you think about this?"
Hearing that someone had already offered 650, Yan Bugui backed out. His psychological price was 500, and this price was a little beyond his expectations.
So Yan Bugui gave up the cigarette in his hand and said, "Well, since someone has arrived early, I will leave first."
After sending Yan Bugui away, Yu Li asked, "Why don't you sell it to Second Master?"
Li Pingan said with a smile: "You don't know Yan Bugui's temper yet. He definitely doesn't intend to pay more. Besides, they have a lot of family matters to attend to, and we don't have to worry about not being able to sell our workstations."
Yu Li didn't say anything after hearing this. Li Ping'an made all the decisions on important matters at home. She just listened.
Besides, when Yan Bugui returned home and saw the whole family looking at him, he said with some embarrassment: "Li Ping'an's colleague offered 650 yuan, and Li Ping'an was going to give him the workstation. This price is a bit high, so forget it."
Hearing this, the whole family was a little disappointed. The meat they wanted was gone, and they would never have another chance.
Yan Jiecheng hurriedly asked, "Dad, then he hasn't agreed to that yet, right?"
"Not really. I heard from Li Pingan that he just came back to discuss it with Yu Li. I guess no matter how fast he goes, he'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to work."
Yan Jiecheng said anxiously, "Dad, six hundred and fifty is not expensive. And you are the second uncle, you can definitely negotiate for a lower price. As long as I can go back to work, I will give you half of my salary until I pay you back."
Yan Bugui thought for a while and said, "You have to pay back fifteen yuan a month at the beginning, and at least twenty yuan a month after you become a regular employee. And you have to pay an additional fifty yuan in interest. Otherwise, forget it."
Now Yan Jiecheng just wanted a job, so he agreed without any bargaining.
So Yan Bugui brought the pack of cigarettes to Li Ping'an's house again.
Seeing Yan Bugui coming again, Li Pingan had no choice but to receive him.
"Second uncle, what's the matter with you?"
"Ping An, you see, I watched you grow up. When you were little, you secretly peed in Second Uncle's flower pot. I didn't tell anyone about it. How do you think Second Uncle treated you?"
Li Pingan thought, I was fertilizing your flowers. Can you tell me?
But he still said: "Well, I remember all the kindness Second Master has shown me. Just tell me the story."
Yan Bugui took out the slightly deformed Daqianmen from his pocket and placed it on the table.
She said, "Ping An, you see, we are neighbors. It would be better for you to transfer the workstation to my family instead of giving it to an outsider. After all, you grew up together. And if there are any problems at home in the future, I will ask your second aunt to take care of you. She has nothing to do at home now, so it would be good for her to come and chat with Yu Li to relieve her boredom. What did you say?"
Li Pingan thought about it and felt that what Yan Bugui said made sense. Yu Li would be at home every day and would have to deal with people like Second Aunt. It would be okay if she could handle the relationship well.
So he said, "But uncle, this job is priced at 650 yuan. Are you willing? If you are willing, I'd be happy to help you solve it."
As soon as he heard there was a play, Yan Bugui started to play the victim again.
"Ping An, you know your uncle's salary is low. There are many people in the family. He really doesn't have that much money. How about you give him a lower price? How about 500?"
"Uncle, forget it. It's so hard to find a job now. The better ones out there are seven or eight hundred. I didn't say much to you."
"Oh, Ping'an, what are you saying? Uncle Er will give you a little more, how about 550 yuan? This is all our family savings."
If Li Ping'an had not used his spiritual sense to check his house just now and found more than 800 yuan in the box on the beam, he would have really believed that the old man was telling the truth.
He said impatiently, "Uncle, I'll give you 600 yuan at least. This is because we are neighbors, otherwise I wouldn't leave 650 yuan untransferred to you. If you think it's okay, you can come with the money tomorrow night, and I'll take Jie Cheng to handle the formalities the day after tomorrow. If you think it's too expensive, forget it."
Yan Bugui knew that the price was not expensive and that it would take care of himself, so he agreed.
"Okay, Ping An, you go ahead and do your work. I'll find someone else to help me tomorrow. I'll come see you tomorrow night."
Yan Bugui was sent away again.
Yu Li asked, "Didn't you want to transfer the workstation to Second Uncle's family? Why did you agree to it?"
Li Pingan touched Yu Li's hair and said, "This is what I think. You will be at home taking care of the baby every day in the future, so you will inevitably go out to chat with Second Aunt and others. It will not be good if the relationship becomes too stiff. Besides, although Yan Bugui and Second Aunt like to take advantage of others, they are still very attentive to what they should do. The quilts for our wedding were made by Second Aunt, didn't you say they were very good? If you have any problems in the future, you can ask them for help."
Hearing that Li Pingan was doing everything for her, Yu Li was moved and hugged him. She smiled happily at Li Pingan.
Li Pingan gave him a kiss and said, "Go to bed early. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and go to the mountains. I think I'll be back early this afternoon."
"Well, then you should be careful. Go early and come back early."
"Okay, wife!"
"Hey, don't move. Not yet!"
"well!…………………………"
