Siheyuan, my new life

Yan Bugui's plan failed and he lost out on benefits. Given his stingy nature, how could he let it go? However, it would be a bad idea to bring this matter to the Siheyuan meeting, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

You should know that Jia Zhang had made a fuss about this matter before, and Yi Zhonghai naturally used his moral principles of caring for neighbors and taking care of families in need to blackmail them.

But Li Botao was no pushover. He stated on the spot that his abilities were limited and he could only take care of the children in the front yard. As for the Jia family, they were residents of the middle courtyard. You, Yi Zhonghai, were not only the manager of the middle courtyard, but also Jia Dongxu's master. With your salary, not to mention buying some meat for the Jia family, it was not impossible to buy some meat for all the residents in the courtyard. If Yi Zhonghai insisted on forcing himself to distribute the oil residue to other residents, he really couldn't do anything about it. He could only not give it to the children in the front yard to avoid the Jia family making a fuss.

The residents of the front yard were not happy at that time. You, Yi Zhonghai, kept saying nice things all day long, but never took any practical action. Li Botao took pity on his children, and every time he fried lard at home, he would give a few pieces to the children in the front yard to satisfy their cravings. Now, because of you and the Jia family, your children are left without this little lard to nourish their bodies, and they won't give you, a crappy uncle, any face. The residents of the front yard started making a fuss on the spot, and they had to go to the street office to ask the leaders to seek justice. Even Yan Bugui was very dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's approach at that time.

Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Yi Zhonghai was also at a loss, and was in a dilemma. He knew of course that if the matter was brought to the street office, he would definitely be punished, but he was unable to save face now. In the past, Yan Bugui would help him make up for it, but today even Yan Bugui had a gloomy face and remained silent. It was not until then that Yi Zhonghai realized that he was only concerned about helping the Jia family today, but did not expect that Yan Bugui, the old man, would suffer losses. That was why Yan Bugui deliberately ignored his look for help.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai's wife went to the backyard to ask the deaf old lady to come out. When the old lady arrived at the scene, she swung her cane and hit Jia Zhang a few times, making the troublemaker immediately slip back home and ask Yi Zhonghai to apologize to Li Botao. Li Botao still respected the deaf old lady very much. Seeing the old lady come forward, he readily accepted Yi Zhonghai's apology.

With the previous experience of Jia Zhang, Yan Bugui certainly would not bring the matter to the whole hospital meeting. However, he did not intend to let Li Botao go, so he sneaked to the street office and reported to the staff that Li Botao often ate meat at home, and was either profiteering or stealing public meat from the factory.

When the staff of the subdistrict office learned that Li Botao was a worker in the meat processing factory, they directly criticized Yan Bugui and kicked him out. What a joke! He was an intermediate worker in the meat processing factory. What was the big deal if he ate a little more meat than ordinary people?

Everyone knows that if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. Not to mention that the workers in the meat processing factory eat more meat, even the salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperative have many invisible benefits. As for people in other units, they also have more or less some invisible benefits of their own. In fact, even Yan Bugui, a primary school teacher, usually brings some paper, ink and other things from school to his home. Yan Bugui came to report Li Botao, he must have been jealous of him, so the staff of the street office did not be polite to him.

After Yan Bugui received a scolding at the subdistrict office, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Li Botao.

This time the front yard re-elected a manager, and Li Botao was naturally nominated by the residents of the front yard. After Li Botao became the manager of the front yard, in addition to regularly distributing some oil residue to the children in the front yard, he also often helped the residents of the front yard secretly buy some pork without tickets. Therefore, the front yard is now much more united than when Yan Bugui was the manager.

Li Botao came here now because he wanted to know in advance the content of the meeting tonight at the street office. Although he had some guesses in his mind, when he saw He Daqing and Fang Dahu coming out of the backyard together, he still took the initiative to greet them.

He Daqing smiled and handed Li Botao a Sanwu cigarette, and nodded slightly towards the front yard. Li Botao understood what he meant, took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Director He, it's very important now, these Sanwu cigarettes can't be bought outside, how about we exchange? How about I exchange three catties of pork for a box of Sanwu cigarettes? Our factory director snatched a few from me last time, and now he has been looking for me for them."

He Daqing walked towards the front yard and said with a smile: "We have been neighbors for so many years, what else can we do with a pack of cigarettes? The last time Director Lin gave me a few packs of cigarettes, they were snatched away by Deputy Director Li of our factory. But tomorrow I will ask Zhuzi to go to the secretary's office to find a pack. I also took this pack when I was having lunch in the secretary's office today before leaving."

Li Botao said hesitantly: "Forget it, I can't let Zhuzi be criticized by the leader."

Fang Dahu, who was walking by, said with a smile: "Old Li, don't worry about Zhuzi. This kid is very powerful now. He has taken Xiong Qingshan, the deputy director of our factory's security department, as his master, and Secretary Lin is also very caring towards Zhuzi. Otherwise, do you think Li Huaide of our factory would take the initiative to make Zhuzi a regular employee?"

Li Botao's fat face showed a look of surprise, and he said with a smile: "Lao He, this is a big happy event, you have to treat us, how about this, I will prepare the meat, Lao He, show us your cooking, let Lao Fang bring the wine, and we will celebrate well."

He Daqing smiled and said: "After our secretary comes back to witness the child's formal apprenticeship, I will make arrangements. You don't have to worry about the wine and meat. Then the three of us can have a few drinks."

As they were talking, the three of them had already reached the gate of the courtyard. He Daqing leaned close to Li Botao's ear and whispered a few words. Li Botao couldn't help but be secretly shocked after hearing it. It seemed that this Sha Zhu was really lucky and would really become rich in the future. However, he had a good relationship with He Daqing before. After all, He Daqing would occasionally ask him privately to get some pork. Now it seems that he should spend more time with the He family in the future.

At this time, the three managers of the No. 97 tenement and the two managers of the No. 93 courtyard also came over. He Daqing hurriedly handed cigarettes to everyone with a smile. It was almost seven o'clock, so everyone smoked while waiting for the arrival of the leaders of the street office.

Except for the three uncles in charge of Courtyard No. 95, no one at the scene knew that tonight would be a joint action of the Security Department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Jiaodaokou Police Station and Jiaodaokou Street Office. He Daqing did not intend to tell these people in advance. He knew that the reason why Director Qin Ming notified these people to come was to let them go back and spread the truth of the matter, which would not only maintain He Yuzhu's reputation, but also completely discredit Yi Zhonghai, the hypocritical guy.
