Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Well, that's true.

"Liang Ladi was very surprised that there were so many talented people in the compound.

“By the way, that’s all about Liu Haizhong.

Although they did not take advantage, Liu Haizhong treated himself as his second uncle, like a small cadre.

"Xu Damao went on to introduce the situation in the front yard," What you need to pay attention to in the front yard is the third uncle's house.

"They have a large family, with four children, three sons and one daughter.

Now it’s the same as us, but they have two houses.

“There are two houses in the front yard and a house in the back, but the family’s main source of income is the salary of the third uncle.

“Their eldest son has just started working and is still an apprentice.

"They usually like to take advantage of small things, so every time I come back from the countryside, I give them something.

Liang Ladi smiled and said, "You are quite good at doing favors, aren't you?"

"..." Xu Damao was not kind-hearted, but scheming, "You have to be careful, the third uncle always wants to take advantage.

I tell you, he has half a bottle of wine, and he'll find someone to share a glass with when he gets the chance.

"Isn't this good?" Liang Ladi said, "Will the Third Master share wine?"

"What do you know?" Xu Damao said, "That's adding some wine to the water. I tried it once and ended up having diarrhea for three days.

"Pfft~" Liang Ladi couldn't help laughing, "Is this true?"

“Of course it’s true, everyone in the hospital knows it.

Even if he wanted to drink, no one dared to let him bring alcohol.

"Xu Damao said solemnly.

“The Jia family is the one that needs the most attention in the compound.

“Xu Damao saved the Jia family for last.

"There are only orphans and a widow left in the Jia family now. Is there anything we need to pay special attention to?" Liang Ladi asked.

“It’s certainly worth noting.

"Xu Damao went on to say: "Jia Zhang was born in the countryside, and in order to occupy more land, she has always refused to change her household registration.

Later, there was no way to change it.

"Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu also has a rural hukou. Except for Jia Dongxu, everyone else in their family has a rural hukou.

“When there was a famine, their family didn’t have enough food.

Yi Zhonghai has organized grain donations several times. You should know that this happens every month.

"How could such a thing happen?" Liang Ladi understood that food donations were very common in the ** years.

"After Jia Dongxu passed away, Yi Zhonghai immediately organized a donation. He did not mention the pension, but only talked about the hardships of orphans and widows. However, He Yuzhu ruined the plan.

"Xu Damao went on to say: "Many people in our yard work in the factory, but most people don't dare to speak up.

“He Yuzhu dared to bring it up because Jia Dongxu died according to the highest pension standard, which is 500 yuan.

"

"This money is held by Jia Zhang, saying it is for retirement, but she has a grandson, does she still need to keep it herself?"

"Besides, Jia Dongxu was a level 4 fitter and had a good income. Doesn't his family have any savings?"

"And Qin Huairu is a replacement, so she's considered a formal employee. Even though she doesn't have a rank, she still gets a salary of 27.5 yuan a month. Do you think they're poor?"

"That's true!" Liang Ladi nodded gently, "But Yi Zhonghai's salary is so high, why did he still donate?"

“It’s strange to say that he would bring all the Jia family’s affairs to a meeting of the whole courtyard and ask everyone to contribute. He himself would contribute the most, but he never helped in person.

" Xu Damao also found it puzzling.

"In short, you must be careful with both of their families, and remember to ask me if you have any questions.

" Liang Ladi agreed: "Okay, I will.

But it’s night now…”

As she spoke, Liang Ladi crawled into Xu Damao's arms, and Xu Damao quickly explained: "No, isn't today your safe period?"

“It’s your wedding night, so hurry up.

" Liang Ladi said, and started to work.

...

The compound was destined to become lively. On the second Sunday after Xu Damao's marriage, Nan Yi chose to move into the compound.

Although it is a gatehouse, the interior is now clean and bright. A stove has been built in the open space in front of the door, with an awning over it.

Nan Yi also built a small fence.

He didn't have much luggage, so he hired a tricycle to move it here.

Yi Zhonghai was waiting at the door and enthusiastically helped to move things. Qin Huairu also helped him clean the room early in the morning.

Everyone is very enthusiastic.

After Nan Yi put away the things, he said: "Uncle, Sister Qin, I will treat you tonight. You have to invite Uncle Two and Uncle Three. I will cook for you personally so that everyone can taste my cooking skills.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy: "Okay, I will invite them for you.

You have officially become a member of our compound. Neighborhood relations are very important.

Qin Huairu said: "I won't go, I have elderly people and children at home!"

"Well... Nan Yi, if you have any leftovers, remember to leave them for me.

How could Nan Yi agree to that?

"How can there be leftovers?" Nan Yi waved his hand and refused, "How about this, I'll make more, Sister Qin, you come over and share half, so that the elderly and children can have a taste.

“Oh, that’s too much trouble for you.

"Qin Huairu was happy in her heart, but she was still polite.

Yi Zhonghai interrupted: "This is Nan Yi's intention, Huairu, don't refuse.

It's not easy for you, an orphan and a widow. You will be neighbors in the future and should help each other.

"Uncle is right. Nan Yi is not very good at housework as a man. Sister Qin will help you in the future.

“Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai work well together.

Nan Yi didn't think much about it: "How can I trouble you?"

"No trouble, it's a small matter.

"Qin Huairu continued: "Then I'll leave first.

"Okay, I'll call you then.

"Watching Qin Huairu leave, Nan Yi said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I still want to invite Master He, are they at home today?"

"..." Yi Zhonghai didn't want He Yuzhu to come over, because He Yuzhu was too shrewd now.

Although his expression changed slightly, he nodded and said, “Yes, they are all at home today.

"That's good. You go and invite the two gentlemen. We'll have a drink together tonight. I'll go and invite Master He over.

" Nan Yi finished speaking, and the two of them walked towards the yard together.

He Yuzhu naturally would not go. He was only willing to talk to the third uncle and had no common topics with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

He did not introduce the people in the yard to Nan Yi. After all, He Yuzhu was not sure how close their relationship was.

If he took the initiative to introduce himself, he would seem too petty, as if he was talking about others behind their backs.

Nan Yi needs to judge and ask on his own before He Yuzhu decides whether to tell him.

In fact, He Yuzhu felt that it would be better if Nan Yi was not with Liang Ladi. After the two of them were together, the issue of their child's education became complicated.

He Yuzhu didn't want to think about this matter and directly rejected Nan Yi: "Master Nan, my family also needs to cook, so I won't go. I'll just wait for you to sell me something someday.

“Well…I didn’t expect you to say no.

Well, I've moved in anyway, so I have plenty of time.

" Nan Yi didn't expect him to do this, but he agreed anyway.

"Okay, let's drink together again if we have the chance.

" Nan Yi did not continue this topic. He found that He Yuzhu did not seem to be close to other people in the courtyard. He might get along better with the third uncle's family.

And Uncle Yi Zhonghai seems to have some conflicts with He Yuzhu!

Nan Yi is no longer the silly Zhu who is smart in small matters but confused in big ones.

Although he came from a poor family, this gave him a lot of knowledge.

Their family used to run a restaurant and had met all kinds of people.

The change from life in the machine repair shop made him feel a little resistant, but now that he has changed his environment, his wisdom is beginning to show.

In this compound, he doesn't quite understand the grudges between others, but it's always good to have acquaintances.

He knew Liang Ladi and had told Xu Damao about her.

Now that they are married, Nan Yi is no longer alone. Although they are not close friends, it is always good to know the situation.

Afterwards, Nan Yi began to make busy preparations, as today was an important day.

On the one hand, he wanted to entertain the three old men in the hospital, and on the other hand, he also expected them to help with publicity, after all, he was still looking for opportunities for private work.

If his skills were not widely known, how could he set the price? Three yuan per table, not much, but much higher than other chefs.

But why did they pay him three yuan? Not many people could afford this price. Among the eight canteens in the steel mill, only He Yuzhu was the head cook.

He Yuzhu's craftsmanship is well-known, and he usually receives invitations from leaders, technicians and senior craftsmen who have high incomes and can afford it.

Next is the middle-level income group, such as those with a monthly salary of fifty to sixty dollars. Although not everyone can contribute three dollars, if half of them are willing to hire him, it will be a big profit.

...

In the afternoon, Nan Yi started to get busy.

By the time he finished cooking, it was almost time.

He came to the front door of Jia's house in the middle courtyard and said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, the dishes are ready. Bring some bowls over!"

“Oh, here it comes.

"Qin Huairu opened the door and said, "Nan Yi, I'll be there right away.

"Okay, I'll go call the uncle!" Nan Yi turned and walked to the opposite side.

Qin Huairu turned to the children and said, "Banggeng, Xiaodang, come with me. Remember to call him Uncle Nan. Do you understand?"

"I know, you've said it many times.

"Stick replied impatiently.

Xiao Dang seemed more obedient. She asked, "Mom, is there anything delicious today?"

"Yes!" Qin Huairu picked up a few large bowls, turned around and said to Jia Zhang, "Mom, please take care of the steamed bread, we will be back soon.

"OK.

"Jia Zhang moved her fat body, but she didn't seem to lose weight.

Nan Yi had already returned home. When he saw Qin Huairu with her two children, he first introduced them: "Nan Yi, this is my son Banggeng, this is my daughter Xiaodang, and there is also Huaihua who is still breastfeeding.

"Uncle Nan..." Banggeng and Xiaodang shouted together.

“Oh, this kid is so polite.

"Nan Yi smiled and took the bowl handed to him by Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, I'll serve you some.

"Thank you so much, Nan Yi, our family hasn't had oily food for a long time.

Qin Huairu handed him the bowl and said.

“Yes, the past few years were tough, and we in the machine repair shop were living very tight.

"Nan Yi echoed.

However, Qin Huairu suddenly remembered that the conditions in the machine repair factory were not as good as those in the steel rolling mill, especially after Jia Dongxu's death, the steel rolling mill also made the bone soup incident.

Nan Yi divided several dishes for Qin Huairu and urged her, "Sister Qin, take them home and eat them quickly. They will taste bad if they get cold. Come and try my cooking skills.

"Thank you!" Qin Huairu was about to say something else when Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui arrived.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Nan Yi, the second and third uncles are here. Is Huairu here too?"

"Uncle, you guys go ahead and start. I'm going to go back first. My mother-in-law is waiting for me at home.

"Qin Huairu didn't say much. She asked Banggeng and Xiaodang to take a bowl each, and she took two.

Liu Haizhong curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy. Yan Bugui was also a little dissatisfied. After all, today they were the three masters who were invited. Wouldn't everything Qin Huairu took be his share?

Nan Yi then said: "The dishes are ready, please come in.

As he spoke, Nan Yi picked up two dishes and walked towards the inner room. Yi Zhonghai ordered, "Old Liu and Old Yan, come in.

Soon, the four of them sat down around the table.

Nan Yi took out a bottle of Fenjiu and filled the glasses for the three gentlemen in turn, then raised his glass and said, "I am the new Nan Yi. I will need your guidance in the future. Let me toast to you all first.

After saying that, Nan Yi drank it all in one gulp!

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, just come to me if you have any problem.

Come on, let's drink to each other!"

The three old men also drank it all in one gulp, and then the four of them started chatting.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong taught Nan Yi to respect leaders, such as the decision-making process of the hospital meeting.

The third uncle asked about Nan Yi's family situation, such as who else was in his family, and looked around.

As for the uncle Yi Zhonghai, he taught Nan Yi how to treat neighbors, respect the elderly and help others.

The three uncles each had their own opinions and values, which made Nan Yi a little dizzy for a moment.

Through this dinner, Nan Yi got a preliminary understanding of them.

After eating and drinking, Nan Yi was a little tipsy. After seeing the three old men out, he didn't clean up and went straight back to his room and fell asleep.

At the Jia family's side, Qin Huairu's family naturally ate very quickly. Since they didn't drink alcohol, their mouths were full of oil.

After dinner, Qin Huairu cleaned up the dishes and sat by the window looking at the old man's house opposite. When she saw the old man appear, she immediately stood up and wanted to go out to greet him.

"Qin Huairu, where are you going?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu warily as if she was guarding against a thief.

"Mom, I'm going to go check on Nan Yi's family. They're drinking and they definitely can't finish their food.

"Qin Huairu explained: "Besides, Nan Yi is a grown man and he is definitely not good at housework. I will go and help him tidy up.

"You have to be careful, you haven't had an IUD yet!" Jia Zhang warned sternly.

Her attitude was sometimes good and sometimes bad, but as long as the topic of Qin Huairu's remarriage was not touched upon, she could accept it.

Qin Huairu was not happy about this and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"And there are the children!" Jia Zhang continued to emphasize.

"I am doing this for the sake of my family, okay?" Qin Huairu retorted, "I finally have a new neighbor, who is also the chef of the factory, and I want to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

“I know what you’re thinking, but he’s been drinking today, so you have to be careful.

" Jia Zhang reminded.

"I know.

" Qin Huairu finished speaking, opened the door and left, heading straight to Nan Yi's house.

When she entered the room, she saw that the house was not cleaned up. Without saying a word, she rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Nan Yi was sleeping soundly in his bedroom, totally unaware that someone was visiting him.

He was in a good mood. Although the new home was a little small, it was his future home. He could be free here without worrying about being spied on or reported by anyone.
