Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are a pair of happy enemies. When Xu Damao tricks Sha Zhu, he really does it, and when Sha Zhu beats Xu Damao, he really does it.

But it is undeniable that the lives of two people would be much more boring without each other.

The affair between Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru is already known to everyone, and Xu Damao is determined to marry Lou Xiao'e, so it is hard to say that he is not competing with Sha Zhu.

When Sha Zhu heard that Xu Damao was going to be an official, he became angry and asked, "How come I didn't know about this? Who told you about it?"

"How can you care about anything else!" Yi Zhonghai said sarcastically, "You only care about following Zeng Wangcai around, only care about yourself and Qin Jingru. With so many delicious foods, who are you thinking about? Did you send some to the deaf old lady in the backyard?"

Sha Zhu blushed and said, "It's not my thing, how can I give it to you?"

This shows that Yi Zhonghai's previous brainwashing was still effective.

"Look, you are not even as good as Xu Damao!" Yi Zhonghai's attitude softened, but his words were still sarcastic, "Xu Damao had lunch with Director Lou's family at noon, and the dishes were from the Lou family. Xu Damao even knew to send a portion to the deaf old lady's house.

"You said that the delicious food for your lunch was from Zeng Wangcai's house, that's true, but the fruits and other things are always yours, right? You're just eating the cherry tomatoes by yourself? Do you feel embarrassed?"

This is Shazhu’s weak spot.

Sha Zhu can be surpassed by anyone except Xu Damao.

From Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu understood the whole story. Xu Damao had somehow invited Lou Zhenhua's family to dinner, and the dishes were provided by Lou Zhenhua. Based on this, Yi Zhonghai and the others judged that Xu Damao would become the son-in-law of the Lou family. Lou Zhenhua was a shareholder of the steel mill. Although he had no say in the affairs, there would be no problem in promoting his son-in-law.

This is the origin of becoming a section chief.

"Bah!" Sha Zhu spat, "Would Xu Damao be so kind? He was just pretending in front of the Lou family. Would Lou Zhenhua like him?

"Even if he likes her, even if he becomes the section chief, he still can't show off his power in our Siheyuan. The most powerful official in the Siheyuan is brother Wangcai, who is now the company commander, captain..."

Company commander?

Zeng Wangcai is now the company commander?

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were trembling in their hearts, and their good mood after having just persuaded Sha Zhu suddenly turned a lot worse.

Before they could speak, Sha Zhu muttered to himself, "Master Yi is right. I was not honest in this matter. Bang Geng ate a lot of the tomatoes Wangcai sent. So, I will treat Wangcai to a drink tonight and ask him to give him some more to send to the deaf old lady. I will also ask him for a watermelon."

This is why Shazhu doesn't want meat. He also wants cherry tomatoes and watermelons to give as favors.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong came over specifically to stop Sha Zhu from performing this play, also for these two things.

"Shazhu, this thing is so precious, can you afford it?" Yi Zhonghai asked, suppressing his joy.

"It's not a big problem!" Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Wangcai's family has too many small tomatoes and watermelons. They can't finish them all, and they will rot and be wasted. I'm helping out for a day today, so I don't want any meat from them, but I want some fruit for Qin Jingru to use when she finds a job."

"Then ask for more!" Liu Haizhong couldn't help but blurt out, "We'll speak for you. Why don't you get Qin Jingru to my workshop 3? I'll say hello to the workshop director and send her some cherry tomatoes or something. I'm sure the matter will be settled."

Sha Zhu was troubled by Qin Jingru's matter. He wanted to take Qin Jingru to the kitchen, but he didn't get along with Director Song, so he couldn't bring himself to do so.

Now Liu Haizhong spoke up. Although working in the workshop was harder than working in the canteen, at least he had a job.

"Okay, thank you, Second Uncle. I'll send the things I ordered to you in the evening. You're busy." Sha Zhu said hello and went back to share the good news with Qin Jingru.

After Sha Zhu left, Yi Zhonghai pulled Liu Haizhong into the house.

"Old Liu, did you hear that? Zeng Wangcai is now the company commander." Yi Zhonghai pinched his hands alternately to hide his annoyance, "This kid is getting higher and higher in rank. He has been in the army for only one year and he is already a company commander. It's hard to say what position he will get in the future. Sha Zhu is right. He is now the highest-ranking official in our courtyard..."

His last words were, how are we going to get along in the courtyard in the future?

How to avenge?

Liu Haizhong, however, did not care much about Zeng Wangcai being the company commander: "Old Yi, you are overthinking it. The company commander is at best a high-ranking official in our hospital, but he cannot manage the local areas, so he is useless. If he is demobilized and comes back, he is still a clerk. If we do a good job here, we can become team leaders, and we will also start as clerks, and our rank may not be lower than his."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized that indeed, he was the one who was really tough.

evening.

Zeng Wangcai came back from work and had not been at home for long when Sha Zhu came to invite him.

When he heard his father say that Sha Zhu didn't ask for pork, he guessed that Sha Zhu needed help with something, so he nodded and agreed.

It was not yet time for dinner, but Xu Damao came again.

Xu Damao did not come empty-handed, holding a gift in his hand, and shouted as he entered the door: "Brother Wangcai, thank you very much..."

He thanked the family as soon as he entered the door, which left the Zeng family confused.

Zeng Wangcai guessed that Xu Damao had invited Lou Zhenhua for the fruit, so he smiled and said, "It looks like there's something happy going on. No need to be so polite."

"You have to be polite!" Xu Damao flattered, "Without fruit, I can't invite anyone, but I have something else to do. Is it convenient for you tonight? Come to my place for a drink. To be honest, I don't know much about that matter, and the Lou family keeps asking about you."

"Ask about me?" Zeng Wangcai wondered, "I only met him once. Why would he ask about me? He must be asking about the leader next to me."

"No, I just wanted to know about you, and I also asked about your relationship with Zhang Xiuzhi."

"That's strange..."

Zeng Wangcai naturally could not have imagined that Lou Zhenhua wanted him to be his son-in-law.

"Brother Wangcai, I can't figure this out. Let's drink tonight and analyze it with me." Xu Damao put down the gift in his hand, "Look, there are so many things given. How can I afford so many things for Lou Zhenhua to give me?"

This kid was self-aware and became suspicious of Lou Zhenhua.

Zeng Wangcai glanced at the gift and said with a smile, "Hairtail fish, this is seafood, it looks very fresh, fried or braised, it's good, it would be a pity if I don't make it today, but I promised Silly Pig that I would go to his place for dinner."

Damn it, there are idiots doing bad things everywhere!

Xu Damao didn't want to get involved with Sha Zhu, but he was anxious to talk to Zeng Wangcai, so he said, "Why don't you call Sha Zhu over, and the three of us can go together."

"No way, you can drink with Sha Zhu?" Zeng Wangcai was very surprised.

"It's okay!" Xu Damao said, "Actually, there's no big grudge between me and Sha Zhu. It's just that he has a foul mouth, you know. Apart from that, there's nothing else."

Zeng Wangcai understood that they were both still young and had not experienced those troubles later, so the hatred was not great.

"Then why not, let's go now!" Zeng Wangcai nodded and said, "Bring up the hairtail and fry it tonight. It will stink tomorrow if left there."

"Got it!"

"By the way, what did you want to ask?"

"I just want to ask, what if the Lou family wants to recruit you as a son-in-law..."

"puff!"
