I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Although Ye Ming has little experience, Director Liang knows that he has a wide network of contacts and has old leaders to help him make connections. If he decides to go into politics, his future will be limitless.

Give him twenty years and no one could predict how high he would climb.

Director Yang also has the support of his old leader, and his administrative level is much higher than Ye Ming, but in front of these municipal leaders, he can only smile.

Comparing the two, the difference is immediately apparent.

After dinner, Director Liang and others left one after another.

Ye Ming and Director Yang were also preparing to return.

"Hey, have you prepared all your New Year's goods? How are you going to spend New Year's Eve?"

"What else can we do? Let's just make do with each other."

Before meeting Ran Qiuye, he and his sister were the only ones celebrating the New Year at home, and this year was no exception.

The old leader and his wife looked at each other and suggested, "Why don't you bring Xiaoxin to our house to have some fun with us? Isn't the purpose of Chinese New Year to reunite with your family?"

"Celebrate the New Year together?"

Ye Ming had never thought of this possibility.

The old leader did not treat him as an outsider at all.

Director Yang was shocked. He didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so close.

"Although this humble room is small, it is still a home. In the past, Xiaoxin and I spent the New Year together. I didn't mind, but I was afraid that Xiaoxin would feel constrained.

It’s better to be relaxed during the Chinese New Year.”

"That makes sense. I was not thoughtful enough."

The old leader pondered for a moment, feeling quite emotional.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "How can it be said that it is not thoughtful? You can treat Xiaoxin and me as family members. This is our blessing.

After the New Year, I will take Xiaoxin home to ask for New Year's money. If you can give her an extra 1,800 yuan, Xiaoxin will be less reserved and will definitely be happy to come to your place to celebrate the New Year every year in the future!"

"Go away, go away. You always ask for a thousand or eight hundred. Do you really think I'm rich?" The big boss responded with pretended anger.

The originally slightly depressing atmosphere in the house gradually became relaxed and harmonious during this interaction.

Director Yang sighed to himself: All the achievements this kid has made today are not entirely due to luck.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year in the north.

The steel rolling mill, which has been busy for a whole year, finally has a short break.

Taking advantage of the rare holiday, Ye Ming started making dumplings with Xiao Xin at home.

"Master Ye, what delicious dishes are you preparing? It's so lively outside, why don't you go and take a look?" Grandma Su had just come back from outside. Seeing that Ye Ming's door was open, she came over to talk to him.

"Let's make some dumplings for dinner. What happened outside?" Ye Ming asked while making dumplings.

"He Yuzhu from next door is back." Grandma Su replied.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Time flies so fast." He Yuzhu looked at the familiar courtyard with mixed feelings.

He spent four months in there, a period that seemed like an eternity to him.

Fortunately, I was not bullied because of my strength, but I also lost a lot of weight, at least 20 kilograms.

"Oh, Silly Zhuzi is back? Old man, Silly Zhuzi is back!" Aunt San was picking vegetables in the yard. When she saw He Yuzhu enter the yard, she was stunned for a moment, then she quickly reacted and called out everyone in the house, young and old.

Hearing the noise, everyone in the yard gathered around.

"Zhu Zi is back? Where is he? Where is my grandson?" The deaf old lady hurried to Sha Zhu's house with a cane.

For her, even if the sky fell, she wouldn't necessarily have much reaction; but once He Yuzhu was involved, that would be a different story.

"Old lady, why did you come here in person? I was just about to go over to see you." Sha Zhu smiled naively, and the deaf old lady raised her cane and tapped him lightly.

"I wonder if you dare to make another mistake! How come you have lost so much weight? You must have suffered a lot in there?" Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and it was obvious that he really cared for him.

Sha Zhu's nose felt sore, and he consoled him, "Hey, what hardship can I endure in there? The food is just a little less oily, and it's about the same as outside.

How long have you not tasted the noodles I made? I haven't cooked for such a long time, I don't know if my cooking skills have become rusty. Please wait, I will make you another bowl right away!"

The atmosphere in the room quickly warmed up.

A lot of people gathered in the yard to watch the fun.

Qin Huairu was struggling internally, standing among the crowd hesitantly, not knowing how to step forward and speak.

She was worried that since she had not been able to visit him in prison in the past few months, would Sha Zhu blame her?

This was the first time Qin Jingru met He Yuzhu. She had often heard people mention him in the hospital during this period.

"It's just one head and two eyes, what's so special about it?" Qin Jingru commented.

"You can't say that, sister. It's a bit cruel of you to say that. I have heard the rumors about you two.

But it's true, a person who has been in prison is probably going to be like this in his life, and it's really not worth wasting more energy on him." Although Qin Jingru's words sounded a bit selfish, from her point of view, it was true.

However, Qin Huairu's situation was different. She was a widow with three children.

Because Sha Zhu had been in prison and was getting older, it was naturally much more difficult for him to find a partner than before.

It was with this in mind that Yi Zhonghai once again came up with the idea of ​​bringing him together with Widow Qin.

The two of them got what they needed and lived together.

Qin Huairu cannot escape the blame for Sha Zhu's current situation.

It is reasonable and logical that this marriage should be put on the agenda.

After experiencing all kinds of twists and turns, Qin Huairu may be able to understand who is the one who truly treats her well.

But it is not easy to get past Jia Zhang.

Just as Qin Huairu was thinking, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao also walked over slowly after hearing the news.

"Shazhu is back? Where is he? Oh, the old lady is here too?" When Liu Haizhong saw that the deaf old lady was also in the room, he immediately restrained his momentum.

After all, this elder is of a very high generation, and even though he has now been promoted to factory director, he dare not act rudely in front of the old lady.

Xu Damao did not have so many concerns. When he thought about what happened in prison, he couldn't help but get furious.

"Silly Zhu, you've been in there for so long, how come you don't even know the basic rules? When you see the old men in the yard, why don't you come over and say hello?"

"Don't try that on me."

Yu Shui had already given a general description of the situation in the courtyard, and He Yuzhu was not buying into Xu Damao's tricks at the moment.

"You, a rag picker, dare to act so pretentiously in front of me. The old lady is here, how can you interrupt me?"

Xu Damao was so angry that his face turned red and white.

Although He Yuzhu was sentenced to a longer term, he managed to keep his position in the factory.

To outsiders, his situation was always much more decent than Xu Damao's.

Even though Xu Damao was full of resentment after his shortcomings were exposed in public, he did not dare to actually take action.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Sha Zhu is much thinner, if a fight really starts, it will most likely be Xu Damao who will lie down.

"The old lady is here today, so I won't bother with you for now. But remember this, I will get it back sooner or later!"

"Don't show your teeth in front of me. If you still don't change your bad habits, I will teach you a lesson every time I see you."

After making harsh remarks, Sha Zhu is never afraid of anyone.
