Yi Zhonghai likes to cause trouble, Qin Huairu is a vampire, and Sha Zhu is a gangster.
These three people really shouldn't have appeared at the wedding banquet.
but.
Xu Damao is indispensable.
Xu Damao appears as a villain in the original work. He is considered to have done all bad things, but he is still good to the residents of the compound.
I have never had any conflicts with my neighbors.
Of course, Silly Zhu doesn't count, because the two of them are natural enemies.
"Let's go find Xu Damao and his wife."
The third aunt couldn't let go of the opportunity to collect Xu Damao's wool, and knocked on the door of Xu Damao's house with Yan Jiecheng.
....
"Jingru, did you see it? Just now the chicken coop built by the Huang family in our courtyard was knocked down, and the old Huang family stood there without daring to say a word!"
Xu Damao just came back from the Intermediate Court and was showing off his great achievements to Qin Jingru.
"Da Mao, you are the most powerful now!" Qin Jingru said compliments, but in her heart she looked down on Xu Damao.
If it weren't for Wang Weidong behind him, that fat woman from the Huang family would be able to beat two of you by herself.
"That's right, my current status in the courtyard, Xu Damao, is only a little lower than that of the steward." When Xu Damao heard the compliment, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He paused, took a sip of water, and was about to continue talking when a question suddenly occurred to him.
"By the way, wifey, is Factory Director Liu very busy recently?"
Hearing this, Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, flipped her hair, picked up the soles of her shoes and began to embroider them, pretending to be nonchalant, "How would I know? I am in the broadcast room of the steel rolling mill every day, and I didn't go there Pass the car factory.”
Qin Jingru actually had trysts with Wang Weidong in a small house next to the automobile factory every now and then. Just this morning, she met Wang Weidong!
But, can Xu Damao know about this kind of thing?
Qin Jingru was actually overly preoccupied. Xu Damao, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice her expression at all and just said with a hint of regret.
"It would be great if Director Liu comes back today, so that I can report to him the results of my work during this period."
Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao's solemn look and couldn't help but feel a little curious. As a woman who had lived with Xu Damao for more than ten years, she knew very well that Xu Damao was the kind of person who couldn't afford to be early without profit. On weekdays, even if the factory leader wanted him to work overtime, he would push back.
Why did Wang Weidong ask him to be a minor steward, a position that was not even a formal official position? How could Xu Damao be so interested in it?
During this time, Qin Jingru saw with her own eyes how much Xu Damao had to pay to resolve disputes between neighbors and clean the compound. Sometimes Xu Damao dreamed and talked in his sleep while he was sleeping, teaching the residents to focus on the overall situation and not to act too easily. quarrel.
Managing a compound well is not a simple matter. Not only does it require a lot of hard work, it may also offend others.
When Qin Jingru expressed her doubts, Xu Damao smiled awkwardly: "You don't understand!"
"I don't understand. I'm asking you for advice." Qin Jingru said.
Xu Damao let out a long sigh, stood up and looked through the window at the big tree outside the window.
"Did you know? When I was little, I was often bullied by Silly Zhu and the others because of my small stature. I was beaten until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen every time. I came home crying and complained to my dad."
"My dad told me, if you don't want to be beaten or bullied, become a leader. Once you become a leader, you can manage others, and others will respect you."
"Since then, while other children dreamed of wearing new clothes during the Spring Festival, my dream has become to be a leader."
"It's a pity that I really don't have the luck to be a leader."
"You also know that my first wife's name is Lou Xiao'e, and she is the daughter of Lou Bancheng, the director of the steel rolling mill. To tell you the truth, when I married Lou Xiao'e, I actually wanted to use the power of the Lou family to become the director of the steel rolling mill. Little leader.”
"There is indeed no problem with this path. After I got married to Lou Xiao'e, I quickly received the attention of the Publicity Department. The section chief praised me by name several times. It can be predicted that in the near future, I will become the first person to work in the Publicity Department. On behalf of the clerk."
"It's a pity that the wind changed suddenly and Lou Bancheng was pushed out of the management. As Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, I was brought back to my original form. Later, Lou Xiao'e and Lou Bancheng fled the capital, and I was naturally implicated. Being able to sit on the bench, even if there is a job to go to the countryside to show movies, Corey will assign it to a novice who is not as skilled as me because he doesn't trust me."
"As for what happened later, you also know that in order to be a leader and to be able to manage people, I paid too much, but every time I fell just a little short."
"Now Director Liu is here. He didn't ask for anything from me. He directly entrusted me with the position of steward, asking me to manage such a large yard and manage more than 200 people! To tell you the truth, after becoming the steward, I feel that the first half of my life has been in vain, but now I have found the true meaning of life."
Seeing Xu Damao looking a little crazy, Qin Jingru was amazed that power could have such a great charm on a man.
But this is a good thing for her. Ever since Xu Damao became obsessed with taking care of things, he has paid less attention to her.
While the two were chatting, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
The third aunt told Xu Damao about the six-yuan gift money. Seeing that Xu Damao was not very enthusiastic, she quickly added: "Da Mao, you are the junior manager now, and you will definitely need the support of my Lao Yan in your work."
Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao's face gradually turning red, and was really afraid that Xu Damao would slap the third aunt in the face.
After all, except for Wang Weidong and Xu Damao, no one in the courtyard could look after him.
The third aunt's words actually meant that she looked down on Xu Damao's working ability.
Qin Jingru was about to go up and smooth things over, but she saw that Xu Damao endured it and smiled at the third aunt: "Don't worry, third aunt, I will definitely satisfy your family."
"Haha, Damao, you are sensible, and it saves Auntie a lot of talking." The third Auntie thought that Xu Damao had given in, and left with Yan Jiecheng.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xu Damao's lips curved into a sinister smile.
Qin Jingru didn't know why and asked: "Da Mao, you won't really give the Yan family six yuan as a gift, will you? When we got married, Yan Bugui didn't even give out a dime, only two radishes. .”
"Hahaha." Xu Damao laughed for a while, which made Qin Jingru feel a little timid. Suddenly she said with a straight face: "Jingru, you cook a table of delicious dishes, and I'll call Factory Director Liu to come back."
"Invite Factory Director Liu?" Qin Jingru didn't know why.
"Oh, Yan Bugui actually dares to use hosting a banquet as an excuse to make money. This matter must be handled by the first master himself."
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he hummed a tune with his hands behind his back and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.
Telephones were a rarity in this era, and ordinary people did not have them at home. If residents wanted to make calls, they had to borrow them from supply and marketing cooperatives.
Handing 2 cents to the lady who was guarding the phone, Xu Damao took out a note from his pocket. On the note was Wang Weidong's phone number.
The phone number was not given to Xu Damao by Wang Weidong, but found out through his connections. It was originally just to prevent accidents, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Wang Weidong was getting ready to get off work when he received the call. He was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Damao's voice on the phone.
"Comrade Damao, you are calling..."
"Master, something serious happened in our courtyard, and I think we should report it to you."
Xu Damao told the story about Yan Bugui's six-yuan gift on the phone. After listening to it, Wang Weidong felt sad in his heart.
Not peeping and calculating, he actually thought of taking advantage of the residents by threatening their children to go to school.
Talent is indeed a talent.
But...of course Wang Weidong couldn't let Yan Bugui act recklessly in the courtyard.
"Comrade Damao, I'm very pleased that you were able to detect Yan Bugui's conspiracy in time. Don't worry, I will handle this matter. Also, when you return to the courtyard, immediately notify all residents and wait in the middle courtyard at night. Have a meeting.”
"Understood, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task."
Xu Damao put down the phone and felt a sense of pride in his heart. Wang Weidong's praise made him feel that his spirit had been purified.
He, Xu Damao, is now an upright man, no longer the sinister villain who was looked down upon by others before.
Everything he did was for the good of the compound!
The glorious sense of mission filled Xu Damao's whole body with strength. After running back to the courtyard in one breath, he didn't even bother to drink a sip of tea, so he picked up a broken gong and started beating it in the courtyard.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three gongs sounded, shattering the tranquility of the courtyard.
The residents were preparing to cook and poked their heads out of the house.
Xu Damao shouted loudly: "Everyone, please pay attention. We will hold a meeting in the middle courtyard in the evening."
The residents all looked slightly stunned.
"Having a meeting? Ever since Director Liu became a senior official, our compound has rarely held meetings. What happened today?"
"I don't know. I'm busy with the car factory now and rarely come back to the courtyard. Is Xu Damao planning to hold a meeting on his own?"
"Impossible. Although Xu Damao is arrogant, he still has this kind of self-awareness. If he is not a great master, he will not be able to hold a conference."
...
Yi family.
Yi Zhonghai was eating eggs, and when he heard Xu Damao's shouts, he fell into a trance and the eggs got stuck in his throat.
Uh-huh...Uh-huh...Uh-huh...
Unable to spit it out or swallow it, Yi Zhonghai blushed so hard that his neck went red, and his hands began to tear at the collar.
Fortunately, Auntie heard the noise in the kitchen and saw that the situation was not good, so she punched Yi Zhonghai hard in the stomach.
Only then did the eggs spit out.
The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai's embarrassed look and rolled her eyes: "Old Yi, you are half buried in dirt, how can you get stuck in an egg!"
Yi Zhonghai held his chest and gasped for air. It was so dangerous. If the aunt didn't take action in time, he might burp.
"It's not because of that guy Liu Hongchang."
The eldest mother thought of the shouting outside and understood a little bit. She asked with a smile: "Are you going to the conference tonight?"
"Why don't you go! I want to see what Liu Hongchang wants to do!"
.....
Qin Huairu's family.
Banggan had finished another day's work and was eating the meal carefully cooked by Qin Huairu. When he heard Xu Damao's shout, his mood suddenly became bad.
Huang Yanling was pried away by Wang Weidong. Since Bangge was released from prison, Wang Weidong was busy with the car factory and rarely returned to the courtyard.
The thought of meeting his 'love rival' tonight made Banggeng extremely angry.
Qin Huairu saw Banggeng's face looking ugly and thought Banggeng was tired from work.
"Awesome, you should take a good rest after eating."
"No, I have to go to the conference later." Banggeng looked grim.
Qin Huairu frowned: "The conference has nothing to do with us..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Banggeng: "I'll go as soon as I say, why are you so verbose! Why don't you put away the dishes quickly?"
Ever since Bangge joined the workforce and thought he could make money, his temper was getting louder and louder day by day, and he often yelled at Qin Huairu at home.
Although Qin Huairu was unwilling, Banggeng was her son after all and the heir to the Jia family. What could she do?
Qin Huairu could only lower her head and put away the dishes silently. She thought to herself that when Banggeng got married and had a daughter-in-law, she would be free.
.....
Yan family.
Yan Bugui, who was counting the gifts, learned that Wang Weidong was going to hold a conference in the evening. He immediately frowned and put down his brush.
"What's the matter, old man?"
"Something seems to be wrong. Wang Weidong hasn't appeared in the courtyard for a long time. Why is there suddenly a meeting?"
Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat and he felt even worse.
"It's true that Wang Weidong is the first uncle, but you are the third uncle. Also, Liu Haizhong has agreed to form an alliance with you. If you two join forces, can't you deal with Wang Weidong?" The third aunt smiled disdainfully: "I see, Wang Weidong It was because he hadn’t appeared for a long time and he was afraid that the residents in the compound would have objections to him, so he held a meeting to calm the residents’ grievances.”
"Yes, I think so too." A cold smile appeared on Yan Bugui's face: "However, he must have made the wrong idea now. When the conference is held, I will let him taste my Awesome. Who dared his cousin to refuse our Yan family’s kindness!"
In the afternoon, the third aunt went to see Guan Tingting and wanted Guan Tingting to pay a gift of six yuan.
Six dollars is nothing to Guan Tingting, but Wang Weidong once told her not to get involved with the people in the courtyard.
】
Guan Tingting always listened to Wang Weidong and rejected the third aunt at that time.
The third aunt saw that it was getting late, so she stood up and said, "Old man, you do the math first, I'll go cook."
Yan Bugui felt excited when he thought that he could join forces with Liu Haizhong to deal with Wang Weidong in the evening, and said angrily: "Old lady, put half a spoonful more of the stick noodles in the stick noodle porridge tonight. We may have to fight a tough battle later, and we have to eat enough. full."
"Okay, okay..." The third aunt nodded and walked into the kitchen.
When Yan Jiecheng came back from get off work, he saw Yan Bugui still settling accounts. He came over curiously and asked, "Dad, how much gift money have we received?"
"Well, about fifty yuan." Yan Bugui said expressionlessly.
"What, only fifty yuan? I remember that the money I gave you personally was forty yuan, and my mother received so much..." Yan Jiecheng didn't believe it.
"You kid, I am your father, how can I still lie to you!" Yan Bugui pretended to be angry, stood up, and banged the table.
"No...I just think it's too little..."
When Yan Jiecheng saw Yan Bugui getting angry, he was suddenly too frightened to speak.
