Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 504 Letting People Live Well

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world!
Sometimes, when a person has enough wealth and ability, the greatest pleasure is to help others and give back to the society, because this will give him a full sense of accomplishment.

After all, wealth and ability are things that you don't bring with you, and you don't take them with you when you die. Instead of clinging to them, it's better to use these things to do something meaningful.

Of course, the premise is that the problem of one's own livelihood has been solved. If there is a problem with one's own livelihood, then it is impossible to talk about the meaning.

It's like the people in this courtyard are basically worrying about making a living every day, so naturally they don't go anywhere with nobleness, and all their hearts are full of calculations.

For example, Yi Zhonghai plotted against Sha Zhu and wanted him to help him in the elderly;
Silly Zhu calculated Qin Huairu, wanting Qin Huairu to satisfy his vanity;
Qin Huairu schemed against Shazhu, and wanted him to help support his family;
Jia Zhang's schemed against Qin Huairu, and wanted Qin Huairu to be their old Jia family's cattle and horses for the rest of their lives!

Anyway, either you plot against me, or I plot against you.

It may seem a little complicated, but in the final analysis, this is just what you need.

After experiencing so many film and television worlds, Lin Tieniu has long lost the black-and-white cynicism of the past, and can understand that many things cannot be explained clearly by a simple right or wrong.

In many cases, the most valuable thing about being a person and doing things is to pretend to be confused.

Don't tell the truth if you see through it, leave a bit of leeway in everything, so that you can live a smoother life and live a happier life.

While Lin Tieniu was thinking about his life alone, many people in the courtyard were thinking about him.

Among them, Liu Haizhong has the greatest resentment.

This afternoon, he overheard someone mentioning that the leader of the factory committee of the rolling mill decided to organize a small canteen for entertaining, but he didn't think it was a big deal at the time.

However, when he saw Lin Tieniu's promotion to the monitor of the cafeteria on the bulletin board in the factory, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.

He didn't expect that he had worked so hard in the rolling mill for most of his life but could not hold an official position, and Lin Tieniu had just gotten the title of a canteen monitor within a few days of his arrival.

Is there any reason for this?

Therefore, his impression of Lin Tieniu suddenly became even worse, and he even felt that Lin Tieniu had robbed him of the official fortune that should have belonged to him.

Otherwise, how could Lin Tieniu have moved into the small Dongkua courtyard behind his house so coincidentally, and also caused his house to lose an aisle.

Just as he was thinking about how to get the corridor back, suddenly, a slightly tall figure pushed open the door of his house and walked in, holding a bottle of wine, a bag of peanuts, and There is a small bag of chickens.

"Second uncle, you are at home!"

"Hey! Xu Damao, you're back!"

Liu Haizhong was taken aback for a moment, then greeted with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at what Xu Damao was carrying, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Didn't you just come back? This time I was exhausted. I ran six or seven communes in a week, and I was on the road every day."

Xu Damao raised his brows, and said with a distressed face.

Although it seemed to be quite miserable, there was a hint of complacency on the brows of his brows, obviously it was a good harvest from this trip.

"Okay, stop complaining there, who doesn't know that you can get a lot of money every time you do this job!"

When Liu Haizhong heard the words, he immediately said with a grumpy face.

"Hey! It's okay, it's okay! They gave me some mountain goods this trip, and I'll bring some over for you to try tomorrow."

Xu Damao smiled a little shyly, and then said humbly.

At this time, the second aunt came out of the back room when she heard the movement, and then greeted with a smile: "Da Mao is here! Sit down, sit down, I'll get you a glass of water!"

"Hey, Second Aunt, take these chickens and fry them. It just so happens that Ezi has returned to her mother's house. I don't bother to start a business by myself, so I'll just have a drink or two with Second Uncle here!"

Seeing this, Xu Damao hurriedly said with a smile.

As he spoke, he bent down slightly and handed over what was in his hand, as polite as he could be.

"Okay, then you two sit down first, I'll fry the chicken for you, and mix it with a cold dish by the way."

The second aunt was not very polite, she just reached out and took the things, and then said with a smile.

Obviously, this kind of thing is not once or twice.

Soon, Xu Damao sat across from Liu Haizhong, and then asked with a soft smile: "Second uncle, I haven't been at home these days, did anything happen in our yard?"

Usually, whenever he comes back from a movie in the countryside, he would go to Liu Haizhong for a few drinks as soon as possible. I didn't even know it was calculated secretly.

Hearing Xu Damao's question, Liu Haizhong didn't feel any surprise in his heart, so he answered directly: "There is nothing else, it's just that a new boy has been moved into our yard."

"Oh! There are newcomers in our hospital? Where are you moving? Why didn't I see it when I came in?"

Xu Damao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with some doubts.

"It's right behind here!"

Liu Haizhong curled his lips, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the back of the house, and said with a displeased face.

"Didn't the ZF take it away? How could people move in?"

Xu Damao stared and asked in surprise.

As an old resident of the courtyard, he obviously knows some old things about this courtyard.

"I heard Director Wang from the sub-district office say that it's because the ZF unit moved to another place to work, and then vacated this place as a public rental housing. I don't know exactly what the situation is."

Liu Haizhong glanced at Xu Damao, and said slowly.

The implication is that Xu Damao doesn't need to worry about the house.

"Oh! That's what it is!"

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately understood that the house was still in ZF's hands, and he couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face.

As far as he knew, the house had a small yard. If he could get it, not only would it be more convenient to do things, but he would not be afraid of having no house to live in after having a child.

After a while, Xu Damao came back to his senses and asked curiously: "Second Master, what is the background of that kid? How did he get assigned to that house?"

The reason why he asked this question was because he knew that almost every household didn't have enough space to live in these days, and the condition of that house was so good that it would be difficult to get it without a certain relationship.

"How do I know who that kid is from? I knew Director Wang personally brought him here. If you want to know, you can ask Director Wang yourself!"

Liu Haizhong said a little angrily.

As he said that, he also murmured to himself, if it wasn't because he didn't know Lin Tieniu's background, he would have reoccupied that aisle a long time ago.

It was precisely because he didn't know Lin Tieniu's background very well that he sulked so aggrievedly.

"Hey! Second uncle, you are joking, how dare I ask Director Wang!"

Xu Damao sneered, and said with some embarrassment.

Although he is a very popular projectionist, it only makes ordinary workers and rural farmers feel a little envious. For departmental leaders like Director Wang, it is not enough.

What's more, he married Lou Bancheng's daughter, Lou Xiao'e, in order to be able to get on the high ground. His reputation was not very good, and he didn't have the confidence to face such a key department as the Sub-district Office.

"Okay! Don't worry about him anymore. He is the supervisor of the canteen of the steel rolling mill now. You will have to look at his face when you cook in the canteen in the future!"

Liu Haizhong waved his hands and said a little irritably.

The words seemed to be meant for Xu Damao, but at the same time, they were meant for himself.

You must know that although the position of the canteen monitor is not considered as an official leadership cadre and does not have any administrative level, if you offend the canteen monitor, then there is no way to have a happy meal in the cafeteria.

Not to mention anything else, just shaking the spoon while cooking is good enough.

What's more, sometimes when there are rare dishes in the cafeteria, you can't buy more.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the rolling mill that it is better to offend the factory manager than the cook in the canteen.

Thinking of this, the center of bangs is full of aggrieved.

In the past, a silly Zhu had already made him uncomfortable enough, but now there is another Lin Tieniu who is even better than a silly Zhu, does this still make people feel good?

When Xu Damao heard the news, he was shocked for a moment.

Is this kid so awesome?

Then, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, Second Uncle, this is wrong! Isn't the canteen monitor of our rolling mill a master of Sha Zhu? When did he become that kid?"

"When? Just today! I don't know what the leaders above are thinking? They actually set up a small restaurant for hospitality!"

Liu Haizhong twitched his lips and said in a puzzled way.

You said that the entire hospitality cafeteria will be fixed!

Why do you want Lin Tieniu to be the monitor of the cafeteria?
In this way, wouldn't he have nothing to do with Lin Tieniu?

"A small cafeteria? What's going on here? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen!"

Xu Damao frowned, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Isn't this quite clear! Silly Zhu, and his master, were transferred to the hostel by the factory committee leaders above to be responsible for organizing a small reception canteen, which is specially used for the factory leaders to entertain guests. In addition, I heard that all departments in the factory The cadres above can also go to the small cafeteria to cook meals."

Liu Haizhong stared, and explained in a deep voice.

"Oh! Then I see!"

Xu Damao felt stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then his mind was running quickly, as if he was thinking about how this incident would affect him.

After thinking about it for a while, he found that apart from continuing to look at Sha Zhu's stinky face, there seemed to be no bad influence, so he immediately felt relieved.

Then, he secretly gloated at Liu Haizhong, knowing that this incident once again poked Liu Haizhong's heart of wanting to be a leader.

When he thought that he would still be able to help the factory leader to accompany customers in the future, but Liu Haizhong was not qualified to serve meals in the small cafeteria, he almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, he knew that he still needed Liu Haizhong's support in this courtyard, so he forced his smile back into his stomach again.

Not long after, the second aunt brought fried chicken and peanuts to the table.

Xu Damao took the opportunity to invite Liu Haizhong to drink together, trying to get rid of this heart-wrenching matter so that Liu Haizhong would not have any opinion on him because of it.

Seeing that Xu Damao was so knowledgeable, Liu Haizhong didn't want to argue with Xu Damao, so he quickly picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it in his mouth to chew.

While Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were drinking wine and chatting about life, Qin Huairu also took advantage of the gap between delivering clean clothes to Shazhu, and asked Shazhu about the situation of the small cafeteria.

When Silly Zhu said that the small canteen could be completed in at most two or three days, she was relieved all of a sudden.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry about the children's lack of mouth in the future.

Afterwards, she hesitated for a while, and said softly: "I met Lin Tieniu in the cafeteria today, and he told me that he would treat me to dinner when the salary is closed next month!"

"Bring you to dinner? Why does he want to invite you to dinner?"

Silly Zhu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then hurriedly asked, as if he was worried that Lin Tieniu would have some unruly thoughts about Qin Huairu.

"Hehe! What are you thinking! He also said that he would invite you to dinner with the first and third masters! He said he wanted to thank us!"

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and smiled, then rolled her eyes and said.

"Oh! So that's the case! That kid has a heart!"

Silly Zhu nodded and smiled in amazement, automatically ignoring Qin Huairu's joke.

"Hmm! I think he's a pretty good guy, so I thought about introducing someone to him. After all, he's the only one left in the family, so it's a pity!"

Qin Huairu nodded, and took advantage of the opportunity to say what he promised Lin Tieniu, so as not to let Shazhu know what he would feel in the future.

"What? Are you introducing someone to him?"

Silly Zhu stared, and looked at Qin Huairu with some surprise, then he twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued with a displeased face: "Hey, I said Sister Qin, you have the intention to introduce someone to others, why don't you want to help?" Shall I introduce one? I'm almost thirty now, and I haven't married a wife yet?"

"I've been so kind to you all these years for nothing!"

"Hey! When it comes to introducing someone, you are still in a hurry with me. Do you need me to introduce you? Among the big sisters in our factory, which one has never introduced a girl for you? It's because your own vision is too high, or I've already gone to marry a wife!"

Qin Huairu raised his chin, and said with a grumpy face, he didn't care about Sha Zhu's temper at all.

"How can you blame me! Don't you look at the people they introduced to me! Either they are tall and thick, or they come from the countryside. Anyway, I am also a big chef, and the wife I married is at least It can't be worse than you!"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyelids when he heard this, and said with a face full of resentment.

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to glance at Qin Huairu's graceful figure, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph! Then you can continue to be a bachelor!"

Qin Huairu snorted softly, then laughed and cursed with some embarrassment.

Those seductive little eyes almost drew Sha Zhu's soul out.

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Sha Zhu to answer, she just twisted her waist and left, leaving only Sha Zhu standing there in a daze.
