Chapter 139: Years Ago (Part )

Another Spring Festival is approaching. This year's Spring Festival will definitely be different, and He Yukai has no intention of going hunting.

After three years of natural disasters and a shortage of supplies, there is no more prey.

Even if there are any, they have hidden deep in the mountains and cannot be found.

Besides, the supply of materials has been gradually restored and it is not as tight as before.

Maybe the debt crisis has slowly passed, or maybe the natural disasters have slowly weakened.

After all, the capital is the best place to live, but the Siheyuan has also begun to stir. Yi Zhonghai wants to stir up some trouble again, and he doesn't want to donate money to the Jia family. He has learned his lesson this time.

A certain amount of donation was prepared to be made to several needy households in the courtyard. It was not because Yi Zhonghai felt sad for the needy households, but because the donation was made based on the poverty line set by the street office, which was an average monthly income of five yuan.

I wanted to send everyone a signal of helping each other. After much thought, Yi Zhonghai decided that it would be better to include everyone, so that everyone's resistance could be reduced.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai also went to the street office to report, and the street office said it was okay.

This is a good thing, but the specific whereabouts of the donations must be recorded in detail and the street office must conduct a thorough investigation.

It was the deaf old lady who reminded him that Yi Zhonghai’s ultimate goal was not to do good deeds, but to provide for the elderly.

He brainwashed everyone subtly and made preparations for their own retirement. After Jia Dongxu's death, Yi Zhonghai had been in a state of anxiety for a long time.

He wanted to look for new candidates to take care of the elderly in the compound, but none of them met his usual requirements.

It’s not that others are unwilling, but that they cannot meet the conditions that you think they should meet.

Either the character is not good enough or the ability is not enough.

Yi Zhonghai’s condition is that he must have absolute control, and the recipients of his care must absolutely obey him.

Although he still wanted to try to get Qin Huairu to give birth to a child for him, that was just an expectation after all, so he had to be prepared for both situations.

Many people in the compound also hold the idea of ​​making a living. Yi Zhonghai's salary is not low, although his wife, who he usually calls home, is in poor health and needs medicine.

But after a long time, it is hard to escape the observation of those who are paying attention. No one is blind or stupid.

Taking medicine for a long time? No matter how many times you have bought medicine, you will know that even Western medicine cannot escape the inquiries of those who are interested. As long as you pay attention, there is nothing you can hide.

Zhang San, the invisible man in the Intermediate Court, is one of them. Zhang San is also a worker in the steel rolling mill, but he is an electrician. He has no elderly people in his family, only one son.

My wife doesn't have a job, so she usually takes work pasting paper boxes for the street office.

Zhang San's son is an honest man. He has no wife and is doing odd jobs. Logically, his family's life should not be difficult.

But Zhang San felt genuinely envious when he saw the He family's life. He was only a third-level electrician, and future upgrades would not be so easy.

Subsequent upgrades require an electrician certification exam, but given his limited education level, he will definitely fail.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai had been keeping an eye on the Jia family, but Zhang San didn’t have that idea. Now that Jia Dongxu has passed away, he feels that his chance has come.

After He Yukai came back, He Yuzhu changed a lot. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had no one to take care of him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai's obsession was too clear.

Zhang San thought about whether he could find a way to get close to him. As for providing for Yi Zhonghai's retirement? No problem, Yi Zhonghai's salary would be enough.

There is also a pension. It is impossible to smash the brazier. He only has one son. What if Yi Zhonghai smashes him? At that time, Yi Zhonghai was already dead. The reason was reasonable and the neighbors would not say anything.

"Wife, what do you think about me getting in touch with an old man? It's just for retirement, so I can let Xiaojun take care of it. There's no problem with that."

A gleam of light flashed across Zhang San's dull eyes.

"Boss, what are you thinking? Why would you have such thoughts?

I don't think this is a good idea. Xiaojun is already seventeen or eighteen years old and still doesn't have a job. The most urgent task is to find a wife for Xiaojun.

Besides, you know Yi Zhonghai's temper, can you do it?"

"Why not? Although Yi Zhonghai's current salary is not high, his skills are still there. Although we don't know the reason for the demotion, he can probably recover at any time.

After recovery, how much can the old couple eat with less than 100 yuan per month?
There is also a pension. When the old couple dies, it would be great if their huge fortune could be given to our Xiaojun."

What Zhang San was thinking about was how to get close to him without leaving any trace so as not to arouse the suspicion of the old man Yi Zhonghai.

"Boss, I don't think he's reliable. You know Yi Zhonghai's personality. If you get involved, you'll have to listen to him.

You don't have any right to autonomy, so don't think about such things. I won't let my own son serve others like that.

Our life is not bad. We are watching our son grow up. It would be great if he could find a better job.

I think you might as well think about He Yukai instead of Yi Zhonghai. If the He family can help, Xiaojun's job will be settled."

Compared to Zhang San's calculations, Zhang San's wife saw things more clearly. She wanted her son to be someone else's servant? Impossible.

“It’s not like I haven’t thought about the He family. Although we took advantage of Zhuzi’s misfortune, we didn’t help him.

Let's wait and see. You are right. Yi Zhonghai is indeed too scheming.

I think the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family is more than just a master-disciple relationship. Yi Zhonghai is sometimes weird, so let's wait and see."

There are many people pursuing the same goal, but it is still chilling to think about how Yi Zhonghai treated Sha Zhu.

The best way is to rush to take care of Yi Zhonghai and seek his property in his later years.

When I was young, I didn’t want to be Yi Zhonghai’s slave.

Many people even thought about how to destroy the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, and eventually wipe out the entire family.

It's a pity that the Jia family's policy has been established long ago, so it's time for others to make plans.

The three giants of Siheyuan got together again to discuss the donation. Yan Bugui was the most angry. Did you think about my feelings when you donated money?
It is very difficult to support my family with such a small salary.

Although Jie Cheng is working now, he will be getting married soon, right?
All the young people in the yard are married, and now you are considered the oldest, so you don’t have to worry.

"I'm telling you two, I have no objection to your donation, but you also have to consider my feelings. I can't afford to play around!

I know you are doing this for your own prestige, and I want to do it too, but my strength does not allow it.

Our family's Jie Cheng and Ma Shan are getting married, and there are so many people waiting to be fed, and we are short of money."

"You are the third uncle in the yard. You can't just think about yourself."

"Yi Lao Yi, please stop talking. This sentence is useless to me. I don't think about myself. My family members have starved to death a long time ago. I really don't have money to donate."

"How about this, I'll give you three dollars and Lao Liu will give you two dollars, and you can donate it. Is that okay?"

"If that's the case, I have no objection."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could do a good deed without having to pay for it himself, then there would definitely be no problem.

Liu Haizhong was speechless. Yi Zhonghai, you old man, how could you make the decision for me? I haven't even opened my mouth yet. Is this really okay?

“I say, Lao Yi, I will not be involved in the affairs of the compound in the future, you guys can decide.

Besides, I have two sons to support and they need to marry me off in the future. You're the one who lets me pay two dollars? This doesn't even include the donations I made at the conference. You're really capable.

You decide for yourself, I won’t pay for this, there is no such thing.”

Liu Haizhong is different now. You are so capable now, but you still dare to make decisions for me. Have you discussed it with me? It's very funny.

"Lao Liu, the three of us are a team, you have to consider the overall situation"

"That's none of my business. Just take care of the overall situation. Are you qualified to make the decision for me?" I am a captain after all. Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to make the decision for me?
"Okay, Liu Haizhong, I'll give you five dollars."

Yi Zhonghai also became angry. When you, Fatty Liu, need me in the future, I will show you how I will deal with you.

In this situation where Yan Bugui was happy, Yi Zhonghai was smiling, and Liu Haizhong was expressionless, the three giants reached an agreement and held a courtyard meeting.

This conference must be held. Now the power of the three uncles has been severely weakened and it is time to re-establish it.

Otherwise, it will be in name only. What's the point of the title of manager?

It would be better not to become a megaphone for the subdistrict office.

If it is not done properly, Yi Zhonghai's plan to change the thinking of everyone in the compound will not be realized. Perhaps only Liu Haizhong doesn't care much about it.

Now, among the young workers who are the captains of the training team in the factory, who wouldn’t respectfully call them captains?
What's more, the second uncle of the courtyard house can no longer satisfy him. He is a team leader after all. You, Yi Zhonghai, are just an ordinary worker. So what even if you have the skills of an eighth-level worker?
Why are you the eldest uncle and I am the second uncle?

But Liu Haizhong also knew that he could not compete for this position because the old lady was standing behind Yi Zhonghai.

His age is his greatest weapon, and there seem to be quite a few people behind that old guy.

I've lived in the backyard for so many years, how could I not know anything?
Everyone has his own calculations. Yan Bugui's idea is actually very simple. He will just take advantage of others if he can. He won't suffer any loss, right?
His usual behavior at meetings was to remain silent and to act according to the situation.

He Yukai and the others discussed preparations for the New Year. Now that the supply of materials had been slowly restored, Yu Li also gave some of the defective cloth she had brought back to the He family.

These defective cloths were bought by Yu Li's mother, which can be considered a welfare of the textile factory.

This year, I plan to make a new set of clothes for the whole family, and celebrate the New Year at Zhengyangmen as usual.

There are several children there, and the private house with its own door and yard is suitable for family gatherings during the New Year.

We also have to face the New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, which is also a troublesome thing. It's disgusting to think about the whole hospital paying New Year's greetings to the deaf old lady, and we have to kneel down. Go to hell!
Who would want to find an ancestor to blame for no reason? No one would be willing to do that.

"Brother, my dad said there will be a whole school meeting in the evening, and everyone must attend."

"Got it, Guangfu"

He Yukai didn't expect to have another meeting. What was this for?

Is it another donation to the Jia family? It makes me sick just thinking about it.

This Yi Zhonghai really becomes more courageous as he faces more setbacks, but think about it, this shouldn't be the case.

It has happened so many times. With Yi Zhonghai's intelligence, he would not do such a thing unless he was absolutely sure. Could there be any changes?

"Silly boy, we have to hold another meeting. This courtyard is really full of evil winds.

Every meeting was held for the Jia family. The purpose of setting up the elder brother was to prevent enemy spies and convey documents from the street office.

In the end, I was ruined by these people. It’s disgusting.”

"Xiaoqing, your understanding is that the Siheyuan Conference is held to build a beautiful and harmonious courtyard of unity, mutual assistance, and you are being too extreme."

He Yukai was in a good mood, and Li Huaide looked very dignified. To be honest, they really looked alike.

"Get lost, you are talking nonsense. After dinner, our whole family will come together to see what's going on."

Cai Wenqing rolled his eyes, feeling awkward no matter how he looked at it.

"obey"

"Sister-in-law, don't say that, I think it's quite interesting.

Watching these people jumping up and down, we just treat it as a monkey show. You know, sometimes we have nothing to do, and we don’t know what to do after work and dinner. Having such a show is a rare pastime.”

"Moth, I think you are just hoping for chaos in the world. This kind of thinking is unacceptable."

"What the director said is right. I will definitely study hard, improve my awareness, and try to keep up with the director's pace."

"Haha, my two sisters-in-law, you are so interesting. If I enter the steel rolling mill, how about working under the eldest sister-in-law?"

"That's definitely not possible, Yu Shui, if you join the Women's Federation, others will have opinions about you.

The Steel Mill Women's Federation has become the He Family Women's Federation. You'd better listen to your eldest brother's arrangements, haha."

They really are a harmonious family. Strangely enough, these few people have never had any quarrels in all these years.

Their personalities complement each other very well. He Yuzhu only cares about cooking and doesn't care about anything else, while Lou Xiao'e is a naive girl. However, she has changed under Cai Wenqing's transformation and is not so easily deceived.

He Yushui was also well protected. He ate well and slept well. He Yukai was the head of the family and took care of all the family matters clearly.

The He family is also working hard to learn, including He Yuzhu who is also learning the knowledge that He Yukai has acquired. You have to learn. Are you just sitting there stupidly while your family is learning? If you can't change, join them.

If you don’t understand something, Lou Xiao’e, He Yukai and Cai Wenqing can explain it.

I still read economics books secretly to recharge myself for the future.

Discussions are often organized at home, covering all aspects.

When studying books at work, He Yukai requires everyone to understand them thoroughly and preferably be able to memorize them fluently.

Although I don't quite understand, He Yukai's words are very clear. We are all cadres, so what is the topic of the study book?

This is not going astray. Although we don't have the idea of ​​becoming a high-ranking official, if we don't understand these things, what if we are manipulated by others and we don't know the reason, would that be acceptable?

Well, the reason is strong and Cai Wenqing also supports it, so let’s just keep it as it is!

Xu Damao is now in high spirits. Last year, He Yukai requested to show movies to experts, although he did not go in the end due to time constraints.

But he also studied hard and kept up with the pace of his leadership.

With the help of He Yukai, he successfully became the deputy chief of propaganda and deputy captain of the training team.

He obeyed He Yukai's orders. When he heard the meeting notice, he guessed that Yi Zhonghai was up to something again and was ready to charge into battle for He Yukai.

"Da Mao, it's not like we haven't held conferences before, why are you so excited?
Don't talk too much, okay? Live your life quietly and don't cause trouble.

Although we are not afraid, we should not cause trouble for no reason."

"Yu Li, can't you imagine?
I guess holding a meeting at this time is still about the Jia family's affairs. It will be difficult for my brother to say anything at that time. Can I do it for him soon?
Can we still suffer if we follow the big brother's footsteps? You see, I am now the deputy section chief and deputy team leader.

I am the only deputy section chief in the steel rolling mill. You became a regular employee after becoming an apprentice in the cafeteria. Isn't it because of the He family's reputation?
Yu Li, remember to follow Big Brother's footsteps in the future, it will not do us any harm."

"I know that. You decide for yourself. You are a cadre now. You should be careful with your words and not give others any chance to use them against you."

"Okay, I understand. You're still worried about me doing things. In all these years, I haven't suffered any loss except for bickering with Sha Zhu."

"Hey, the one I'm most worried about is you. Look, you two don't have any deep hatred, so is it that serious?
Just like a little kid, so is the master. You are really like what the sister-in-law said. If one of you is a girl, you are definitely a family, enemies in life and death."

"Bah, who is his family?"

Xu Damao still felt resentful towards the family. He couldn't stand the thought of his daughter calling Sha Zhu "Dad". But his daughter just liked to play with He Xiao, and he was really afraid that she would really become Sha Zhu's daughter-in-law.

But when Bu Pang Nuan Nuan played with He Xiao, my daughter started crying and cried very sadly. Although I know that my daughter is just pretending sometimes, I still can't help but feel distressed.

My daughter is my sweetheart, how can she cry so sadly? What a sin! ! ?
