Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

"Old Yi, listen to this, Zeng Wangcai is already the platoon leader, and you still let our eldest brother deal with Zeng Youqian...wait, be the platoon leader..." Liu Haizhong subconsciously paused halfway through his words.

Liu Guangqi is a treasure of the Liu family. Liu Haizhong and his wife are afraid that he will melt if they hold him in their mouths, and are afraid that he will fall if they hold him in their hands.

Therefore, after knowing that Yi Zhonghai had bribed his eldest son to deal with the Zeng family, Liu Haizhong was furious, worried that his eldest son would be beaten like his second son.

"What the hell are you talking about? Zeng Wangcai is the platoon leader?" Liu Haizhong asked in shock.

"Yes, just now, Zeng Youqian received the letter, a thin piece of paper. The couple was reading it intently at the door, and I saw it." Yan Bugui said as he sat down.

"It's only been a short time and you're already a platoon leader?" Liu Haizhong's eyes changed from shock to desolation.

Being an official has always been Liu Haizhong’s dream and lifelong goal.

Before, when their family had not yet fallen out with the Zeng family, he still wanted to curry favor with Zeng Wangcai. He thought that Zeng Wangcai was a clerk in the factory's propaganda department at a young age, with a high salary and a potential to become a cadre, so he wanted to curry favor with Zeng Wangcai and have him lead him.

Later, the two families fell out, and Zeng Wangcai went to the army, cutting off his path to becoming an official. He was secretly happy about it.

Now he is dumbfounded. He skipped a grade in just three months and became a platoon leader. How can he be happy about this?

"Old Yi, here are three dollars!" Liu Haizhong took out three dollars and slapped them on the table. "Our boss won't get involved in this matter. He's a platoon leader now. Don't accuse my boss of insulting a military family like Zhang Cuihua did."

Although Jia Zhang came back, she suffered a lot and became a laughing stock in the courtyard. Even with Yi Zhonghai's support, Jia Zhang couldn't raise her head for a long time.

After being beaten up, he went to jail and had to pay a fine. No matter how you look at it, he looked like a clown who had lost a lot of money.

It is for this reason that Liu Haizhong does not want his eldest son to follow the same path.

"Old Liu, sit down. Why are you so excited?" Yi Zhonghai was not frightened by the news. He was very calm. "Old Yan, you are also making a fuss. Use your brain to think about it. Is this possible? Zeng Wangcai has only been in the army for three months. Has the training of the recruit company been completed? Is he a platoon leader now?"

"Uh..." Liu Haizhong was stunned and suddenly felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense.

"I also came to ask you because I was thinking something was wrong." Yan Bugui said, "You want to say it's false, why did Zeng Wangcai write it like this?"

"Yes, why did he write it like this?" Liu Haizhong was at a loss.

Among these three people, Yi Zhonghai is the most shrewd and scheming.

He thought for a moment and said, "Looking at Zeng Wangcai's past behavior, he was very filial to his parents. I guess he was worried about them, so he deliberately wrote that he was a platoon leader in the military camp so that his parents wouldn't worry. What was Zeng Youqian's reaction when he received the letter just now?"

"I'm so happy. I said we'd make dumplings to celebrate in the evening. I feel guilty about this. I've been eating either fish or meat all day long..." Yan Bugui sipped his saliva.

Although the Zeng family was isolated, everyone found that the Zeng family was still the same Zeng family and seemed to be living more comfortably.

The Zeng family eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks every day and doesn’t have to care about other people’s opinions at all.

In Zeng Wangcai's words, I just like the look on your face when you can't stand it but can't do anything about it.

"Yes, look, what did I say?" Yi Zhonghai clapped his hands and said, "This is what the kid did on purpose to make his parents happy. It's fake. He didn't expect that Old Yan would see this."

"Fake?" Liu Haizhong sat down again and glanced at the three dollars on the table.

Yi Zhonghai caught this action and said firmly: "It's fake, it must be fake, take back the money, listen to me, I guarantee you will agree with my approach after listening..."

Immediately, Yi Zhonghai persuaded Liu Haizhong. What he meant was that the Liu family had already fallen out with the Zeng family, and given Liu Guangtian's character, he would retaliate sooner or later. If he didn't take action while Zhang Xiuzhi was not at home, he would have no chance later.

"Old Liu, you've seen Sha Zhu's current attitude. Don't worry, wait until your second son has vented his anger, and I'll let Sha Zhu step in to deal with any problems." Yi Zhonghai finally promised.

Liu Haizhong slapped his forehead and thought, and gradually felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense. Anyway, the second brother would cause trouble for the Zeng family sooner or later, so he might as well take this opportunity to put an end to it.

Ten minutes later, Yan Bugui came out of the middle courtyard, still thinking about Yi Zhonghai's plan, when he suddenly saw two guests coming to the Zeng family - Lin Huyang and Huang Liang.

"Oh, isn't this Purchaser Lin? Are you here to see Master Zeng again?" Yan Bugui greeted Lin Huyang with a smile.

He will not do anything without profit. Lin Huyang is a purchasing agent of Peking University. He has independent purchasing quotas and a little pricing power. He can purchase materials at a higher price than other units such as purchasing stations.

This has no value to others, because no matter how high the purchasing price of Peking University cafeteria is, it will not be higher than the black market or pigeon market. But Yan Bugui is different. He dare not take the fish to the black market to sell, so he wants to sell it to Peking University.

"Ah, have you eaten?" Lin Huyang nodded subconsciously and walked into Zeng's house without stopping.

"I didn't... Hey, he went in!" Yan Bugui was disappointed and went home.

Zeng’s family is about to start dinner.

"Yangzi, Liangzi, you came at the right time. Please sit down and have your meal. Have dumplings!" Chen Yumei greeted them with a smile.

"Brother Yangzi, Brother Liangzi, my eldest brother is now the platoon leader. Tell me, is my eldest brother awesome?" Lai Fu showed off proudly.

"Get lost! Your elder brother is the platoon leader, not you!" Zeng Youqian scolded with a smile, "If you fail the final exam, I will spank your butt into eight pieces."

"Oh!" Lai Fu immediately became depressed. Studying was a difficult problem for him.

"Uncle, I prepared a gift for Lai Fu!" Huang Liang took out an exercise booklet from his schoolbag and put it on the table. "This is the exercise I wrote. Let Lai Fu do it carefully. I will explain it to him next time if he doesn't understand. It should be no problem for him to pass the exam after he finishes it."

I thank you...

Lai Fu rolled his eyes. It was a pity that he had to go through the same experience of being sent test papers at such a young age.

“Hahaha…” Xiaoqiang almost laughed out loud.

"Xiao Qiang, you might like it too. Brother Liang has prepared one for you as well."

"Uh......"

"Brother Liangzi, we hate you!"

The two boys ran away holding hands angrily, and the dumplings no longer tasted delicious.

"Don't pay attention to them. Liangzi has caused you so much trouble!" Zeng Youqian said with emotion, "Eat more later. By the way, are your parents okay? Can they come back for the New Year? If not, come to our house for the New Year."

"That's great. My parents can't come back for the New Year, so I'll come to my uncle's house to celebrate the New Year!" Huang Liang agreed readily. His parents had left the city for work.

After a while, the dumplings were ready and we started eating.

"Uncle, is Wangcai really the platoon leader?" Lin Huyang said while eating dumplings, "Has no one in the hospital bothered you recently? Our hospital is already a mess, and your hospital is even worse..."

"No, you don't have to come all the time, nothing will go wrong."

"That won't work. When my sister-in-law left, she asked us to help look after the house. If anything happens to you while she's away, she'll skin us alive."

"Uh, haha..."

Thinking of his daughter-in-law's strength, Zeng Youqian smiled proudly yet awkwardly.

Lin Huyang and Huang Liang were the guards hired by Zhang Xiuzhi. Zeng Wangcai did not say anything because he knew that when he was away, his brothers would visit his home often.

"By the way, aren't you going to make clothes for a family in a few days? You will be back late, so you can ask Yangzi and Liangzi to accompany you. It's better to be safe than sorry." Chen Yumei said, remembering something.

After learning about this, Lin Huyang asked Zeng Youqian for the exact time and immediately said that he would not let Zeng Youqian walk alone at night.

......

As the north wind howled, a heavy snow fell.

A jeep and two trucks were driving on the road. They were the first platoon of the Special Operations Team of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the 24th Division of the 70th Army, which had just finished their training as a recruit company and were heading off for a new life.
