Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Jokes aside, everyone would envy Yu Li for finding such a good husband. Not only is he outstanding in appearance, but the job he does is also one of the three most popular professions of that era. Those who know Yu Li's past think she is very lucky, as if she had picked up a treasure. If she had married the Yan family, perhaps her life would not be so happy.

When the female colleagues were chatting and laughing around Yu Li, he quickly slipped away. He didn't want to publicize other people's matchmaking. This job was not an easy one. If he did a good job, even if he didn't get any credit, he would have worked hard, and at most he would get some agency fees; if he didn't do a good job, he might be criticized behind his back. Yi Zhonghai finally adjusted his mood, and said to Li Weidong with a stern face but a weak heart: "What the hell, I just want to ask you one question, will you help me today or not?"

“No help, I refuse!

Aren’t you an uncle, an eighth-level fitter?

Go talk to the factory manager!

Also, don't talk to me so casually in the future.

Calling you uncle is giving you face, do you think you are so great?

If you give me face, you are a great man. If you don't give me face, you are just an old man, an old bachelor!"

Li Weidong is so direct.

Yi Zhonghai was most afraid of people mentioning that he had no children. When he was young, he relied on his skills to find many semi-open fallen women, and over time he developed bad habits. Yida Aunt was originally fine, but soon after marriage, she contracted a vaginal disease because of Yi Zhonghai's problem. After the incident, Yi Zhonghai bit back and said that it was caused by her previous improper behavior. If Yida Aunt had a natal family, she would have taught Yi Zhonghai a lesson. But she fled here during the war, her family lost contact, and she had no skills to make a living. She married Yi Zhonghai after being introduced by the neighborhood committee. It turned out that he was such a person. If she was not weak in character, she would have died to make her determination clear.

Most of the old people in the courtyard knew about this. As Yi Zhonghai rose step by step and became an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill, no one dared to talk about him behind his back. After all, many people in the courtyard also worked in the steel mill, and Yi Zhonghai's voice should not be underestimated. It was he who took care of Qin Huairu's replacement. If you offend him, your life will be difficult in the future.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned blue. He Yuzhu watched nervously, afraid that he would have a heart attack. He quickly said to Li Weidong, "Weidong, it's almost done. You go back first and leave the rest to me." He Yuzhu felt helpless. Both parties in the quarrel were important to him, and he really didn't know how to choose.

Li Weidong had scolded enough and didn't want to give Yi Zhonghai a chance to retaliate. The two had a deep hatred because of the house. If Li Weidong had come two days later, he would have had to sleep on the street. This resentment could not be resolved!

Li Weidong hugged Yu Li's slender waist and said, "Wife, let's go back to the house!" Yu Li nodded, followed him back to the house, and closed the door. Yi Zhonghai looked at him, gasping for breath, and finally rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. He Yuzhu was panicked and quickly leaned over to pinch Yi Zhonghai's philtrum. Seeing that he did not respond, he could only shout for help.

Li Weidong in the house heard it clearly, but instead of going out to help, he closed the window. Soon, people in the yard heard He Yuzhu's cry for help and rushed over. Everyone was shocked to see Yi Zhonghai fainting. Someone asked about the situation, and He Yuzhu told the truth. After listening, everyone shook their heads and sighed, but secretly rejoiced in their hearts that someone had finally taught the old man a lesson, and he deserved it!

Finally, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai was unconscious, and organized the neighbors to send him to the hospital. In fact, Lao Yi had woken up a long time ago, but He Yuzhu told him everything he had done, which made him feel ashamed and he had to continue to pretend to be dead. Qin Huairu was heartbroken when she saw that everyone ignored her. Gritting her teeth, she got up from the ground, left the courtyard, and walked towards Director Yang's house.

At this time, Director Yang had received a report from the security department. Something big had happened, and no one dared to conceal it. Allowing a child to sneak into the steel mill was a serious dereliction of duty. If a gangster could go in and cut off a pig's tail, what about others? What if the stolen goods were steel? Director Yang immediately called a meeting of the management and called the head of the security department to discuss safety issues.

When Qin Huairu came to visit, Director Yang had just finished a meeting. When he heard the security guard report Qin Huairu's purpose, he ordered the security guard to drive her away without hesitation. What kind of behavior did Qin Huairu have? Her son was injured while stealing public property, and she still needed the government to help with the treatment? It was simply a fantasy! Besides, Director Yang didn't have any vaccines on hand, so he had to use his connections to get it. Is someone like Banggeng worth it? If she is not dealt with, it will be because she is a steel mill employee and a single parent. Otherwise, call the police first!

Outside the cadre courtyard, Qin Huairu moved away in despair. She had planned to pester Director Yang if he disagreed. But the reality was that she didn't even get to see Director Yang. Thinking of Bang Geng who was still in the hospital, she was overwhelmed with grief. For the first time, she felt desperate and began to reflect on her past. Perhaps if she hadn't doted on Bang Geng, he wouldn't have become a habitual thief. If she could be kind to others, someone would definitely help her when she encountered difficulties. But now it was too late to say anything. She could only pray silently in her heart that Bang Geng was safe and didn't get infected with rabies.

That night, many people tossed and turned in bed, but Li Weidong and Yu Li were the only ones who were as enthusiastic as if they had met again after a long separation, and they did not fall asleep until late at night. This made the neighbors in the backyard miserable.

The soundproofing of the house was not very good, and Yu Li was the type who would do anything when excited. As a result, everyone did not fall asleep until late at night, secretly cursing Li Weidong for being an unromantic guy.

The next morning, Yu Li got up early and was busy preparing breakfast. Long-distance drivers like Li Weidong are always very hungry. If they don't eat breakfast, they may not even have lunch. Fortunately, there were some taro left yesterday, which could be used to make porridge.

As soon as she put the porridge pot on the coal stove, Yu Li felt someone hugging her tightly from behind. The familiar fragrance made her know it was Li Weidong without turning around. But she didn't understand why her face turned red. She turned her head and said shyly, "You guy, how can I live like this so early in the morning if someone sees me?"

Li Weidong didn't care. He just stuck to her back and hugged her slender waist. "What's wrong with me hugging my wife? If anyone dares to gossip about me, I will tear his mouth to pieces!"

"Come on, stop messing around and go brush your teeth, or you'll be late for work," said Yu Li.

"Okay!" Li Weidong whistled as he went to brush his teeth after kissing Yu Li's face. However, he squeezed the toothpaste for a long time but it didn't come out, so he had to shout to the house: "Wife, there is no toothpaste!"

After a while, Yu Li's reply came from inside the room: "There are new ones under the shelf, look for them yourself."

After hearing this, Li Weidong went to the bottom of the shelf and fumbled around. He really found a brand new toothpaste. The toothpaste was packaged in pale white, with a fruit-flavored label and decorated with the national emblem and a Huabiao pattern. "Oh, it's still China?" He looked at the brand of the toothpaste and said, looking a little surprised.

In his time, in order to introduce foreign technology, many local daily chemical products in Huaxia tried to achieve this goal through cooperation and joint ventures. They hoped to exchange technology through the market, which was not wrong in itself. However, they underestimated the greed of foreign giants. The joint ventures did not fulfill their initial promises, but marginalized Zhonghua toothpaste and focused on their own brands.

Eventually, Zhonghua Toothpaste was hidden from the market and soon disappeared. Now, although the packaging of the Zhonghua toothpaste in his hand is slightly different from what he remembered, it is at least the original flavor. He made up his mind that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely take over the brand. After all, some things are more flavorful in the traditional way.

After brushing his teeth, he returned to the house and saw that Yu Li had already served the sweet potato porridge. There was also a plate of dried radish on the table as a side dish. Although he had the ability to enjoy a more sumptuous meal, he did not try it because it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. In this era, even if you have the ability, you have to act carefully, otherwise you may get into trouble because of the accusation of unclear source of wealth. Often, there are many people in this yard with ulterior motives.

The sweetness of the sweet potato porridge and the crispness of the dried radish are a perfect match. He ate a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of dried radish, feeling very comfortable. After finishing this simple but satisfying breakfast, he and his wife went out together. On the way to the steel mill, they would pass by the neighborhood committee, and he would naturally take his wife with him.

He rode a bicycle in front of her in blue overalls, while she sat on the back seat in casual clothes with a canvas bag on her back. Her hands were tightly around his waist. This kind of dress was very common on the street. In that era, blue-black work clothes were more popular, but in the city, military uniforms were more popular. People often said, "Beige tops look crazy, you can tell whether a person is a gangster by the length of the trouser legs, and whether there is a white edge can determine a person's social circle." People who can wear military uniforms are usually not ordinary people.

If there were no requirements for work clothes, he would choose to wear national defense green clothes. The kind of military woolen coat that only school-level ** would wear was only owned by the older generation who had not yet retired at that time. When he sent Yu Li to the neighborhood committee, he happened to meet her female colleagues who worked with her. When these female colleagues saw Yu Li reluctantly saying goodbye to him, they teased her.

"Yu Li, I think you can consider transferring to the steel rolling mill to work. If things continue like this, how are we single people going to survive?" One of the female colleagues said this and joked.

"Yes, Comrade Weidong, you should also take good care of your wife," another female colleague also joined in the fun.
