As night falls, the courtyard becomes lively.
The aroma of food is wafting from every house, and the residents who have worked hard all day can finally enjoy their happy time.
In Jia's house, Qin Jingru was busy for most of the afternoon, making a sumptuous meal.
Qin Huairu was particularly happy after learning that Qin Jingru became a regular employee. Although the two were in a competitive relationship, Qin Jingru was her cousin after all. As a factory leader, she would be able to provide assistance to Banggeng in the future.
Qin Huairu also specially invited Li Weidong and Jia Taohua to celebrate together.
Li Weidong brought two bottles of Moutai, and several people tasted the wine and ate exquisite dishes. The atmosphere was very lively.
At this moment, someone knocked on Jia's door.
Qin Huairu frowned, put down her chopsticks and muttered in a low voice: "Who is this? Didn't you see that people are eating? The door is still closed, and you don't know how to be polite at all."
In this era of scarcity of supplies, most people who cook something delicious would hide it at home and eat it secretly. In order to avoid being discovered, they would often close the door.
As time goes by, a rule has been formed in the courtyard. As long as everyone sees that other people's houses are closed while eating, they will not come to disturb them, so as not to make both parties look bad.
Qin Huairu originally thought that someone knocked on the wrong door, but unexpectedly, the knock on the door rang again, and the sound became more and more urgent, and she was determined not to give up until the door was opened.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to stand up and open the door.
Standing outside the door was Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the courtyard.
Qin Huairu looked at Yan Bugui, frowned, and asked, "Third Master, are you okay?"
Yan Bugui looked over Qin Huairu's shoulder and saw the exquisite dishes on the table and the two bottles of Moutai, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When he saw that Jia Taohua was there, he said with a smile: "Master, it turns out that you have guests at home, why didn't you notify me? I, Lao Yan, am the best at accompanying guests."
As he spoke, Yan Bugui took advantage of Qin Huairu not paying attention, got in from Qin Huairu, moved a chair, and sat in front of the table.
Although Yan Bugui is not liked by everyone, he is the third oldest man in the courtyard after all, and because he is older, no one cares about him.
Li Weidong stood up and poured Yan Bugui a glass of wine: "Third uncle, are you busy today?"
Yanbu Gui's chopsticks were like raindrops, and he quickly picked them up on the plate. He ate and drank so much that he was half full by now.
He rubbed his belly and said, "Didn't I hear that Qin Jingru became the factory leader? I came here specifically to congratulate him."
When Qin Huairu heard this, she joked: "Third uncle, those who come to congratulate usually have to bring some gifts. Why are you empty-handed!"
"A gift? I brought a gift!" The third uncle fumbled in his pocket for a while, muttering "Where is it?", and finally took out a pencil from his pocket.
In fact, this pencil cannot be regarded as a pencil, but only half of it. Most of it is bald.
It must have been a pencil that a student dropped in the classroom, but the third uncle picked it up.
Everyone sitting here looked at the pencil, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
This was the first time Jia Taohua saw Yan Bugui's stinginess, and she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Nowadays, diligence and frugality are advocated. In Jiajiazhuang, many people are also very frugal. It is normal for a coat to be new three years and old for three years and mended for another three years.
However, when it comes to weddings and weddings, members are still very generous and will not hesitate to give out the best gifts at home.
Maybe it's just half a pound of peanuts, maybe it's just seven or eight walnuts, but this is their heart.
And the half pencil that the third uncle brought this time is obviously looking down on people?
but.
Qin Jingru knew Yan Bugui quite well, and it was already rare to get this deadbeat to take out half a pencil.
Where is the pencil? It is clearly half a small yellow croaker.
Qin Jingru quickly stood up, took the pencil, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, thank you very much. You are so polite."
"Why are you so polite? Maybe we will be a family in the future." Yan Bugui said cheerfully, with the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"family?"
These words confused Qin Jingru.
She turned to look at the third uncle: "Third uncle, what do you mean?"
Yan Bugui said cheerfully: "Jingru, I think you are a good girl. You also know my second son Yan Jiefang. He is now working as a worker in a light industry factory. However, he has a high level of education and is expected to become a worker soon." lead."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu, who was picking up vegetables to eat, was shaken all over. He loosened his fingers and the fatty meat fell to the ground.
Just a few days ago, Yan Bugui approached Qin Huairu specifically about Yan Jiefang, hoping that Qin Huairu would introduce Jia Taohua to Yan Jiefang.
Only a few days later, Yan Jiefang fell in love with Qin Jingru again. This was really outrageous.
Qin Jingru also knew that Yan Jiefang had a crush on Jia Taohua. She felt insulted and glared at Yan Bugui and said, "Third uncle, your family is really flexible!"
Yan Bugui blushed because of the rebuke, but because of Yan Jiefang's matter, he could only lick his face and smile: "Jingru, don't be anxious, just listen to the third uncle's analysis for you."
"Although you are now a factory leader, you are still a lesbian after all. Sooner or later you will get married. Once you get married and have children, the burden on your family will be heavy."
"If there is no one to take care of me, I will definitely be too busy. I am an old teacher. I have two or three months of vacation every winter and summer vacation. Your third aunt has nothing else to do on weekdays. She is responsible for doing housework at home."
"With the two of us helping you, you will definitely be able to focus all your energy on your work. In this way, you will be promoted very quickly. You may be able to become the deputy director or even the director of the factory in the future."
"Also, our Yan family can be considered a wealthy family in the courtyard. If you marry Yan Jiecheng in the future, no one will dare to bully you."
I have to say that Yan Bugui has been a matchmaker for several years and is indeed very talkative.
However, it is of no use at all.
Qin Jingru looked at Yan Bugui dumbfounded: "Third uncle, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that I have just become a full-time employee, and all my energy is focused on work, and I won't consider personal issues for the time being."
"You kid, you are really ignorant. Work is important, and personal issues are also important."
Yan Bugui muttered and wanted to say something else, but Qin Huairu couldn't stand it, stood up and drove Yan Bugui out.
"Third uncle, you've eaten the food and drank the wine, so you'd better go back quickly."
After Yan Bugui was pushed out of the door, the door was immediately closed.
Yan Bugui scratched his head in annoyance.
"Hey, once you become a leader, your vision is really high!"
After Yan Bugui left, almost all the dishes on the table were wiped out. Li Weidong drank two glasses of wine with them and was about to get up and leave.
"Brother Wei Dong, otherwise, you can stay here tonight, right?"
Qin Huairu drank some wine, her face was flushed, and she stepped up to block his way.
stay here
Li Weidong turned his head and saw that Jia Taohua was too embarrassed to lift her head. Qin Jingru was also a little shy, but she could barely hold on. Her beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
This is the rhythm of being slept with.
Of course we, Li Weidong, cannot be a coward.
The night is getting deeper.
Li Weidong's name occasionally rings in the Jia family's house.
at the same time.
In a tavern not far from the steel rolling mill, Li Weidong's name was also mentioned.
However, the emotions of the two were completely different. The voice in Jia's house was full of charm, while the voice in the tavern was full of viciousness.
"Damn Li Weidong, I will never let him go!"
The bistro is located near a square table in the corner.
Ma Erpao, chief of the material section of the steel rolling mill, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, hammering the table with his fist angrily.
At today's factory committee meeting, after he failed to oppose Qin Jingru's proposal, he was called into the office by Director Yang and criticized.
He was criticized for not uniting with comrades, making unreasonable criticisms of comrades, and having backward thinking.
This criticism is not unserious, and has basically determined Ma Erpao's fate in the steel rolling mill.
As long as Director Yang and Li Weidong are still in the steel rolling mill, they will never get ahead.
Sitting across from him was a female comrade. She was wearing the uniform of a general, but her eyebrows were a little wild, and she didn't have the arrogance that a big courtyard girl should have.
Her name is Bai Yue, and she is a temporary worker in the propaganda department of the steel rolling mill. Ever since Ma Erpao entered the factory, the two have been together.
Seeing Ma Erpao's angry look, Bai Yue felt a little funny in her heart. When Ma Erpao decided to deal with Li Weidong, Bai Yue had persuaded him in bed.
Li Weidong is now in charge of the poverty alleviation workshop and can be said to be a popular figure in the steel rolling mill. Even comrades in the ministries and commissions will look kindly on him when they see him.
Most people have no way of shaking him.
However, Ma Erpao didn't listen at all.
It cannot be said that Ma Erpao has no brains. The main reason is that he came to the steel rolling mill just to get promoted.
The current supply of materials for the poverty alleviation workshop does not require the help of the Materials Department at all. Even if he wants to make achievements, there is no way.
At the same time, due to the lack of material transportation from the poverty alleviation workshop, the power of the Materials Section has been greatly reduced than before. He, the Materials Section Chief, is almost like an empty shell.
All this is because of Li Weidong.
He had wanted to get rid of Li Weidong for a long time, but because Li Weidong did things rigorously and left no clues at all, he had to wait.
Now that he finally came across this opportunity, Ma Erpao originally thought that other factory leaders in the steel rolling mill would support his proposal because they had objections to Li Weidong.
Who would have thought that those people were just guys who acted according to the prevailing situation. When facing Director Yang and Li Weidong, they did not dare to express their objections at all.
"You stinky bitch, are you happy to see me in trouble?"
Ma Erpao was feeling annoyed when he saw Bai Yue smiling and slapped his palm on the table.
There were many guests in the tavern at this time, and the tables were full of guests. This movement attracted the attention of many people.
A comrade waiter came over, looked at Ma Erpao and said, "Comrade, please be careful and don't disturb other guests."
Ma Erpao wanted to get angry at that moment and stood up to argue with the waiter. Bai Yue saw that the situation was not going well and quickly stopped him.
Apologize to the waiter: "Comrade, I'm sorry, my friend drank too much. He didn't mean it."
Bai Yue was originally a beautiful girl, and she was wearing a general's uniform, so she looked like someone with status, so the waiter didn't care about them and turned around and left.
Even so, Ma Erpao still refused to give up and wanted to curse a few words.
Bai Yue took his arm, pushed him down, and reminded: "Old Ma, this tavern threw out seven or eight young people last month. If you don't want to be thrown out, just make trouble!"
Ma Erpao was a regular visitor to this pub and had heard about what happened last month.
It was the birthday of a famous recalcitrant in the capital, and his little brothers pooled their money to buy a banquet in a tavern.
The stubborn Qingpi naturally had to behave differently. A group of people were moaning and scumming in the tavern, which made other guests dissatisfied.
But the guests saw that these people were wearing wire locks and knew that they were not easy to mess with, so they could only swallow their anger.
At this time, the waiter in the tavern disagreed. This was their territory. If these green men were causing trouble here, would it be regarded as causing trouble?
The waiter went up to persuade Qingpi, but Qingpi was naturally not happy. They were Qingpi just for the sake of face.
Now, if I just listen to the waiter and sit down to eat and drink quietly, wouldn't I lose all face?
The two sides quarreled a few words at that time.
The waiter has never seen such a arrogant person since the public-private partnership of the tavern, so naturally he couldn't bear it.
It's been a long time since the Green Skins saw someone dare to play tricks on them like this, so they reached out and took out the wire lock.
A great battle ensued between the two sides.
What everyone didn't expect was that the green men who had high hopes before the war were no match for the waiters. In just a blink of an eye, a few were knocked down and the rest were thrown onto the street.
Later, some good people analyzed it carefully and discovered that the green skins were armed with wire locks and light weapons, while the weapons of the waiters were kitchen knives, rolling pins, stools, chairs, all kinds of things, although they looked irregular. , not fancy, but very practical!
After this incident spread, no one dared to cause trouble in the tavern anymore.
Thinking of this incident, Ma Erpao's forehead was covered with sweat.
The reason why he lost his composure was entirely because of the anger in his heart. Now he woke up and realized that he had almost caused a big disaster.
Ma Erpao glanced at Bai Yue gratefully: "Yue'er, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble this time."
Bai Yue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, you are so good to me, isn't it natural for me to help you? How can I say thank you?"
"Yes, yes, the two of us are like a family." Ma Erpao looked at Bai Yue, with a wicked smile on his lips, stood up, poured a glass of wine, and brought it over.
"Yue'er, to express my apology, come on, let me offer you a glass of wine."
Bai Yue said angrily: "Brother Ma, you don't know that people tend to drink less. What should you do if you get drunk?" (End of Chapter)
