Upon hearing that Gao Yan was willing to subsidize him with 400 yuan, Yang Haijun was overjoyed: "Brother Weiguo, you're not lying to me?"
Gao Yan continued, "We're all neighbors, why would I lie to you? Also, in about half a year, you'll be going to the factory to take over your dad's job. When that happens, I'll introduce you to my master, Wang Jiangang, who is a level six fitter!"
Hearing this, Yang Haijun was more than willing. After entering the factory, having a mentor and not having one are two completely different things. Moreover, his mentor was a level six worker. With such a mentor, how could he be afraid of being bullied?
“Brother Weiguo, you’ve taken such good care of your younger brother, so he can’t be ungrateful. Here’s what we’ll do: we’ll exchange houses, and you just need to give me an extra 200 yuan!”
"No!" Gao Yan quickly stopped him: "It's just 400 yuan. With this 400 yuan, you shouldn't go out and fool around. Use this time to find some books on fitter work and study them to prepare for working in the factory!"
Hearing Gao Yan's words, Yang Haijun was somewhat moved: "Brother Weiguo, thank you, I'll listen to you!"
"Alright, you can go back to sleep first. I'll go talk to the three old men in charge about this, and then we'll sign an agreement in their presence before going to the neighborhood office to exchange the property deed!"
After leaving Yang Haijun's house.
Gao Yan first went to Chen Dajiang's house in the Intermediate People's Court, carrying a bag containing half a pound of pork.
Chen Dajiang was a seventh-grade lathe operator. Although his salary was high, he only received half a catty of meat coupons a month. His wife, Aunt Chen, was a housewife, and his son, Chen Manjun, was just a temporary worker who received only two liang of meat coupons a month. Seven liang of pork was only enough for the three of them to smell the oily smell, and it was not enough to satisfy their cravings.
Therefore, when they saw Gao Yan bring half a pound of pork to their door, the family of three were all very envious.
Gao Yan didn't mince words and said he wanted to swap houses with Yang Haijun, hoping Yang Haijun could be his witness.
But Chen Dajiang was an upright man. Although he craved meat, he didn't want to do anything that would make people gossip about him. Just as he was about to decline, Gao Yan whispered, "Uncle Chen, I won't trade with Junzi for nothing. I'll secretly give him 400 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dajiang immediately lost all restraint.
Gao Yan was willing to subsidize 400 yuan, which meant Yang Haijun got a good deal.
So he readily agreed.
Afterwards, Gao Yan took half a jin of pork to Xu Zehai, the manager of the backyard. Xu Zehai was not as upright as Chen Dajiang. Before Gao Yan could even offer to subsidize him 400 yuan, Xu Zehai agreed on the spot because of the half jin of pork.
However, Gao Yan still told him about the 400 yuan subsidy.
Finally, Gao Yan went to see Sun Yugui again.
The two sides had a good relationship, but upon hearing that Gao Yan and Yang Haijun had exchanged houses, Sun Yugui said in a deep voice, "Weiguo, we can't take advantage of this; it will ruin our reputation!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Sun, don't you know what kind of person I am? I didn't make this exchange for nothing; I'll secretly give him 400 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yugui laughed: "Alright, you're a generous guy. I agree to this. You can take the pork back!"
"Hey, there's no reason to take back what's been given away, Grandpa Sun, I'll be going now!"
Back home, Gao Yan reminded Li Mengyao not to forget to mail the grain, then carried a bag of wedding candy to the factory.
