Back in the courtyard, Yan Bugui walked to the gate and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Xie Cheng, Xie Cheng, I introduced you to a good partner!"
Inside the house, the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's shout. Due to the distance, she could only hear two words, and she couldn't help but frown.
'It's not like this old man didn't know that Jie Cheng wasn't at home, so why was he shouting at the top of his voice? Do you want to scare everyone in the entire compound? What a fool. '
As the shrewdest person in the courtyard, Yan Bugui has never suffered a loss in the courtyard in his life. Even the sinister villain Xu Damao met him and had to grab a handful of pecans stolen from his fellow villagers and give them to him.
He introduced his partner to Si Zhu, but Si Zhu misunderstood that he was doing something secretly and stole his chariot. Yan Bugui knew that Wen could not fight Yi Zhonghai, and his force was no match to Si Zhu, and it would be difficult to get the chariot back if it was lost. Yes, most people would definitely consider themselves unlucky when encountering something like this.
Yan Bugui was such a shrewd person. He thought of an idea as soon as he rolled his eyes. He pretended to talk to the third aunt, secretly warned the eldest aunt, and took the opportunity to threaten Yi Zhonghai. If Silly Zhu didn't return the wheel, he would report the case. .
In this way, Si Zhu was defeated without offending Yi Zhonghai. The method was not unscrupulous.
How could such a shrewd person be confused?
Yan Bugui wants to tell everyone in the courtyard that there are no girls in the old Yan family who dare to marry into the Yan family to wash away the stigma on the Yan family. At the same time, he wants to warn the residents in the courtyard that Huang Xiaocui came to the courtyard to see each other. Sometimes, keep your mouth shut. If you dare to leak the details of the Yan family, the Yan family will definitely never be finished with them!
really.
When the residents of the courtyard heard Yan Bugui's shouts, they gathered around.
The leader was Yi Zhonghai. After Wang Weidong took away his position as the first man of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was like a plucked rooster. He felt that he had no face to see anyone anymore and hid in the house all day long. After a long time, he also felt that it was not a problem to continue like this.
Although Wang Weidong is a big man, he does not often appear in the compound and cannot effectively manage the residents of the courtyard. As for the follower Wang Weidong chose, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai didn't even notice it.
At that time, Xu Damao's father, Xu Jixiang, ended up in ruins because of a fight with a big brother, so he retired early and returned to his hometown in the countryside to take care of himself.
Xu Jixiang is no match for Yi Zhonghai, let alone Xu Damao.
Yi Zhonghai knew that he just lacked an opportunity to stand out. This opportunity could not only show his prestige, but also not arouse the residents' plans.
Hearing Yan Bugui's shout, Yi Zhonghai knew that the opportunity had come.
Yan Bugui's reputation in the courtyard is not good, especially because of Yu Li's incident a while ago, Yan Bugui was despised by the residents of the courtyard.
Furthermore, as the third uncle, Yan Bugui has enough weight. If he beats Yan Bugui, the residents of the courtyard will definitely regain their confidence in him.
Thinking like this, Yi Zhonghai suddenly became energetic and jogged all the way to the front yard.
He did not stop Yan Bugui directly, but stood aside and waited for the onlookers to come closer. Only when there are many people watching the excitement can he save the fertility to the greatest extent.
And Yan Bugui is also waiting for the residents to come so that he can announce the introduction of Yan Jiecheng.
Two people with ulterior motives accidentally came up with an idea, and a strange scene appeared at the door of the courtyard.
Yan Bugui, who had shouted just now, was standing outside the gate, and Yi Zhonghai, who was coming to teach Yan Bugui a lesson, was standing inside the gate. Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other, and from time to time they sneered in unison. .
More and more people gathered, and some people even had no place to stand and could only stand on the steps.
Seeing the weird looks of the two people, everyone was a little confused, but they just considered that neither of them was easy to mess with, so they didn't say anything.
The weird atmosphere at the gate was finally broken by the Zhang family aunt who was eager to go home and cook.
Speaking of this Zhang family aunt, she can be regarded as a strange thing in the courtyard. It is not because she can eat or fight, but because she follows the time in everything she does. In the main room of the Zhang family, there is a timetable posted. The whole family gets up at six o'clock in the morning. The Zhang family's aunt gets up on time at 5:30, and then calls out to the whole family before six o'clock. The adults may be able to bear it, but the children I feel so sleepy that I inevitably want to sleep more.
The aunt of the Zhang family picked up a big slap and slapped the children's round buttocks several times.
Therefore, when the deaf old lady was still alive, she often said that a day in the courtyard started with the crying of the Zhang family's son.
Sleep on time, eat on time. The Zhang family runs at a fixed time every day.
This is rare in this era, and some good people have explored its origins. After visiting the neighbors of the Zhang family and having a cordial conversation with the uncle of the Zhang family, they found out that the Zhang family started from a family five years ago. Started in the afternoon.
That afternoon, Uncle Zhang used the watch ticket awarded to him by the factory to buy back a women's watch.
Well, to be precise, the Zhang family's punctuality started when the Zhang family's aunt put on that watch.
Back to the courtyard, the aunt of the Zhang family couldn't tolerate Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai delaying her cooking. She pinched her waist and said loudly: "Old Yan, you just shouted that Jiefang has a partner, what's going on? ?”
Yan Bugui saw a few residents wandering towards this side in the distance, and wanted to wait a little longer to add a few more listeners, but seeing the flames on Aunt Zhang's face, he thought he should just meet her. Received. If you offend the public, you will lose more than you gain.
Yan Bugui smoothed his non-existent beard, straightened his chest and said: "Dear residents of the compound, the reason why I, Lao Yan, am so happy today that I disturb everyone's rest is because I have something important to do. To announce.”
Seeing Yan Bugui start to speak, Yi Zhonghai knew that the opportunity had come. He coughed twice to attract the attention of the residents, then walked slowly to Yan Bugui and said in a cold voice: "Comrade Yan Bugui, What you said is wrong!"
Yan Bugui didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Yi Zhonghai and frowned: "Old Yi, please speak clearly, what's wrong with me?"
Facing the residents, Yi Zhonghai raised his face and said sternly: "Yan Bugui, as the third master of the courtyard, don't you know that you can't affect everyone's rules because of personal matters?"
"I" Yan Bugui never thought that Yi Zhonghai would find trouble with him at this time.
Seeing that Yan Bugui was speechless, Yi Zhonghai naturally took advantage of the victory and pursued the victory: "The courtyard is the courtyard for everyone. Everyone is tired after working for a day. You are yelling here because of personal matters, which affects everyone's rest. , are you sorry?"
"I" Yan Bugui roared in his heart, "Lao Yi, if you ask me to announce the news, it won't be too late for you to use me to establish your power."
That's right, Yan Bugui has been neighbors with Yi Zhonghai for many years and knows Yi Zhonghai's character clearly. He has already figured out Yi Zhonghai's intentions at this time.
Don't you just want to regain the trust of the residents by criticizing him?
Lao Yi, Lao Yi, we are old brothers after all. The last time you were pulled down from the position of First Master Wang Weidong, I didn't add insult to injury. How could you do such an unscrupulous thing!
Although he was filled with hatred, Yan Bugui had no way to deal with Yi Zhonghai. After all, Yi Zhonghai's words were considered from the perspective of the residents of the courtyard. If he dared to refute, he would be going against all the residents.
Damn Yi Zhonghai
At this time, Yan Bugui just wanted someone to stand up bravely and help him teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson.
At this time, a strange voice came from the crowd: "Yi Zhonghai, you keep saying that the third uncle has delayed the residents' rest. Now you are stopping the third uncle. Otherwise, when the third uncle talks, you will end up talking a lot. Wouldn’t it waste more time?”
These words suddenly woke up the residents, who all looked at the person who spoke. That person was Xu Damao.
At this time, Xu Damao was wearing a gray tunic suit with a red badge on his chest. He put his hands behind his back and raised his face, fully displaying his majesty as a steward of the courtyard.
Xu Damao felt the envious looks from everyone in the courtyard, and felt even more proud. His wife was right, and Wang Weidong's guidelines should be resolutely implemented and Yi Zhonghai resolutely attacked.
He was originally happy to see Yi Zhonghai and Yanbu's noble dog biting the dog. He was holding his hands and watching the fun. Qin Jingru pulled him aside and asked him to attack Yi Zhonghai according to Qin Jingru's words.
Xu Damao secretly gave Qin Jingru a grateful look, and Qin Jingru curled her lips secretly. If Brother Wei Dong hadn't told him to keep an eye on Yi Zhonghai, I wouldn't have bothered to guide you!
However, the effect looks good. Yi Zhonghai's face turned as red as a monkey's butt. When I see Brother Wei Dong in two days and tell him about this, he will definitely reward me~
Xu Damao's words ruined Yi Zhonghai's long-prepared plan to cheer him up. Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao bitterly and left the crowd dejectedly.
Yan Bugui secretly remembered Xu Damao's contribution in his heart. Well, I'll treat your family to peanuts in the evening.
"Third uncle, Yi Zhonghai has left. If you have anything to do, just announce it."
"Yeah yeah."
"Don't waste time."
The residents of the courtyard also started urging at this time.
Yan Bugui pressed his hands down and waited for the residents to calm down before he said: "Everyone, our Yan Jiecheng is getting married soon. He is a female worker in a textile factory, and her monthly salary is more than 30 yuan, and No betrothal gift is required, and you can also get a bicycle as a bride!"
"hiss"
As soon as these words came out, the residents of the courtyard immediately took a breath, and even Xu Damao looked at Yan Bugui in a different light.
This old boy is really lucky to have found such a good wife for Yan Jiecheng.
Cloth was in short supply in this era, and each person could only make one sleeve with the cloth they exchanged for their annual cloth coupons. Textile factories are the most popular. At the end of the year, workers in textile factories can get some scrap cloth, or exchange money for cheap scrap cloth.
Although it is scrap fabric, the color may be wrong, or the quality may be questionable, but it is still no problem to make clothes and wear them. If there is a weaver in a family, the whole family will not have to worry about clothes.
Yan Bugui was very satisfied with the attitude of the residents. When he returned to the house, he was still showing off to the third aunt.
"Old lady, did you see it just now? My Yanbu is so prestigious!"
With the good news, the third aunt luxuriously took out the high broken pieces that had been stored for two years, carefully pinched a handful, threw it into the enamel jar, and made a cup of tea for Yan Bugui.
"I see, from now on, our family will never be scolded in the spine because of Yu Li's incident."
After the third aunt finished speaking, she handed the enamel jar to Yan Bugui and said with some worry: "Old man, you just said that the matchmaker named Wang Meili only agreed to introduce him. If Huang Xiaocui doesn't agree, you can spread the lies. How will the family end?"
"You, you just have long hair and short knowledge!" Yan Bugui picked up the enamel jar, regardless of the fact that the tea in it was a bit hot to the mouth, drank it down, clicked his tongue twice, and then continued: "Ten yuan matchmaking gift. ! This is not a small amount, if anyone gives me ten dollars, even if it is a princess, I can match it for him."
"That makes sense, Lao Yan. You are really awesome this time. You actually found such a good match for Xie Cheng. Do you think that after Jie Cheng gets married to Xiao Cui, can Xiao Cui's uncle be able to marry him?" Transfer Jie Cheng to work in the lumber factory." The third aunt quickly poured tea for Yan Bugui and handed it to Yan Bugui respectfully with both hands.
Yan Bugui took the enamel jar and said proudly: "Of course, I heard from the matchmaker that although Xiaocui is not Director Liu Guangde's biological niece, Director Liu Guangde treats her more affectionately than his biological niece. Not only does he let her She lives at home and often buys her new clothes. When they get married, if Xiaocui asks, Lao Liu will definitely agree."
"That's great. If Jie Cheng gets to the lumber factory, under the care of Old Liu, he might become a leader! Oh my, I can't help but be happy when I think of our Jie Cheng becoming a leader." Three The aunt was so excited that her eyes narrowed, "Since there is such good news, let's have a good meal tonight."
Yan Bugui also nodded in agreement, "I remember we still have a piece of bacon. You can take it from the beam. We will eat bacon and stir-fry radish today."
Hearing that Yan Bugui wanted to eat bacon, the third aunt was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. You must know that the piece of bacon was an heirloom of the Yan family. It was about two taels in size and had been hanging on the beam for five years.
Every time the whole family eats, they always take a look at the bacon and take a bite of rice.
Once, Yan Jiefang took a second look and was beaten by Yan Bugui because he was afraid that Yan Jiefang would miss the bacon.
"Okay, okay! Let's have a big meal tonight!"
As night falls, the smell of delicious food wafts from every house.
Yan Jiecheng worked for a day and returned to Yan's house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw bacon and fried radishes on the table.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them carefully several times. After confirming that he saw correctly, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Dad, are you crazy?"
