Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

After returning to the house, Master Quan asked with a smile, "What happened, old man? Why do I seem to hear your voice?"

Xiao Aiguo did not reply to Master Quan immediately. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yun and said with certainty, "They are definitely up to no good! I heard it as soon as I entered the backyard."

Xiao Yun nodded casually and sat down. "Master, I will definitely believe you, but you should understand the principle of catching an adulterer and catching a thief. I won't believe anything you say without evidence."

Xiao Aiguo sighed heavily, "Oh, if I had known earlier I should have locked them up so they wouldn't be able to explain themselves."

Xiao Yun shook his head. "That won't work. Didn't they say he was drunk and helped him back home? He's totally denying it. If we call the police, they won't dare to jump to conclusions without actual evidence."

Master Quan nodded and said, "That's right. We had such an incident in our compound, but because they didn't block him in the house, the police couldn't say anything. After all, it's a lifestyle issue that will follow a person for the rest of his life. If they didn't block him in bed, the police had no evidence and the case was eventually dropped."

Xiao Aiguo was still angry, "Just watch them like this? If someone finds out that this happened one day, our compound will probably be laughed at."

Xiao Yun poured himself a glass of water and smiled faintly, "Master, don't worry about this. People like Xu Damao will be exposed sooner or later. They will definitely be punished by then. As for the matter you said about being laughed at, who let them live in a compound?"

Xiao Aiguo listened to the whole thing and finally just shook his head helplessly.

...

Not long after, Xiao Yun discussed the furniture to be made with Master Quan.

"Master Quan, please leave me your address. I will deliver the wood to you tomorrow, and then I will leave you a deposit first." Xiao Yun said as he took out a pen and paper.

Master Quan nodded. "Logically speaking, Mr. Xiao is a man of high moral character and I trust his character, but the deposit is a rule that cannot be broken. You just need to give five dollars, and I will pay the rest later."

Xiao Yun happily took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "Master Quan, I'll give you ten yuan, please grab it quickly, I'm getting married on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and I want to use it then."

Master Quan froze for a moment. "Hiss, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only a few days left. I think it's very difficult. In these few days, we have just polished it, and there is no time to even paint it."

Xiao Yun paused and said, "So I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. Do you think you can work overtime?" After that, Xiao Yun handed over a cigarette.

Master Quan smoked a cigarette and thought, "It's not impossible, but if that happens, it will be too late to carve the patterns on the cabinet."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Master Xingquan, forget about the carvings. I saw some people putting paintings on the top of some cabinets a few days ago. If that doesn't work, I can just cover them with paintings."

The two hit it off immediately and decided on Xiao Yun's idea.

evening.

When it was time to get off work, everyone went home with smiles on their faces, except Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, who looked worried.

Passing by He Yuzhu and hearing him humming a tune, Jia Dongxu felt unhappy.

"The New Year is coming soon. Why should Xiao Yun be able to rest early while we have to work again after get off work? This is not fair!"

Yi Zhonghai was also annoyed, but he still comforted her: "Okay, overcome the difficulties in front of you. The exam will be after the New Year. You should sum up your experience and try to pass it this time!"

After saying that, he walked ahead without looking back, his eyes fell on He Yuzhu's back, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Why didn't I pay attention to this silly boy before?"

If I had trained He Yuzhu to be my retirement caregiver, I would probably be able to eat good meals every day.

Hey ~

But fortunately, he had a trump card in his hand. When Jia Dongxu was really in trouble, he would send all the money that He Daqing had mailed to him in one go. This was a considerable sum of money, and that silly boy Sha Zhu would definitely accept him.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai showed a relieved smile on his face.

As soon as they returned to the compound, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were stopped by Xu Damao before they had time to change clothes and go out to work.

"Uncle, don't work today. Let's go to your house and have a drink!" Xu Damao raised his hand and was about to pull the two men into the yard.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "No, we have to go to work. This is a task assigned by the neighborhood committee."

Xu Damao smacked his lips and said, "Uncle, just listen to me. It's okay if you don't go for a day. I have a good relationship with Director Wang. If something really happens, I will talk to you."

Yi Zhonghai was a little shaken. Jia Dongxu, who was standing aside, immediately smiled and said, "Master, how about we take a day off? There is so much work to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if we don't work for a day."

Before Yi Zhonghai could make a decision, he was pulled into the courtyard by Xu Damao. "Let's go, uncle. Don't worry. If I say it's okay, it's okay."

When he got home, he was shocked to see a table full of dishes.

Even though he only earns more than 100 yuan a month, he dare not eat like this.

"Da Mao, how much will it cost you for so many dishes?" Jia Dongxu stood aside, staring at the dining table.

Xu Damao smiled and walked forward, took out two bottles of liquor from the stove, and said, "Why are you saying that? My sister-in-law helped me today, and my uncle is my elder. I must not lose face when I invite you to dinner."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai made up his mind and decided not to work anymore. He walked forward and sat in the main seat with peace of mind.

Seeing that he had a backbone, Jia Dongxu also sat down and glanced at Qin Huairu, "Da Mao, what did Qin Huairu do for you? Is it worth your expense?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's face froze, and even his hand holding the bottle of wine was suspended in the air. After being stunned for two seconds, Xu Damao said slowly and firmly: "She helped me, she saved my life."

"Help?" Yi Zhonghai frowned while sitting in the main seat and became interested.

Xu Damao did not hesitate this time and said firmly: "Yes! It is to save my life. It is so cold this morning. I accompanied my leader to dinner. I drank too much when I came back and almost fell asleep outside. You all know how cold it was. If I fell asleep, I would die. But Qin Huairu, Sister Qin, and Sister Qin helped me home. Tell me, is this to save my life?"

"You guys saved my life, shouldn't I treat you guys to a meal?"

Jia Dongxu was relieved immediately after hearing this. "Da Mao, if you say so, I really should eat this meal, haha."

Xu Damao raised his head and said, "Of course, come on, come on, let one of you go first."

The aunt hurriedly took the bottle and poured wine for Yi Zhonghai.

After a glass of wine, everyone picked up some food and put it into their mouths to relieve the spiciness of the burn.

Xu Damao glanced around, then rubbed his hands, stood up with a serious expression, and said, "Brother Dongxu, I'm sorry for something, and this meal is also a small token of my apology."
