Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

As the sound of firecrackers exploded in the yard, Xiao Yun, who was halfway through eating the New Year's Eve dinner, called on everyone to go out and set off firecrackers.

Standing at the door, the firecrackers were thrown high into the air. As the fuse was lit, the crackling sound gradually covered up the laughter of the crowd.

The New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until ten o’clock, and a few people got a little drunk.

He Yuzhu and Xiao Weiguo supported each other as they walked out of the door. Xiao Yun hurriedly followed and then sent them home.

After helping Xiao Weiguo to the kang, Xiao Yun added some fire to the stove.

Inside the house, Su Ming and He Yushui cleaned up the room.

"Sister-in-law, don't rush to wash these. I'll come and help you tomorrow." He Yushui said as she put the used dishes into the basin.

Su Ming shook his head. "Yushui, no need to trouble you. My sister-in-law also does this job at home. It's easy to do."

Soon, Xiao Aiguo also returned to the house.

As for Teacher Su Ming, since the house in the backyard had not been cleared yet, Xiao Yun knocked on the Jia family's door again and settled down.

With yesterday's discussion, after paying the money this time, Qin Huairu led Teacher Su Ming into the house with ease, and carried the coal bucket to Xiao Yun's coal pile to get the coal.

After everything was settled, Xiao Yun returned home and worked with Su Ming for another two and a half hours to let Xiao Weiguo have his grandson as soon as possible.

The next morning.

After breakfast, there were sounds of people paying New Year's greetings in the courtyard. After a while, Liu Haizhong and his whole family knocked on the door of the Xiao family, coming to pay New Year's greetings, but their faces were full of flattery.

When being greeted with New Year's greetings, Xiao Yun responded with a smile.

...

"Su Ming, we're going out to pay New Year's greetings later. Bring some gifts and meet the factory leaders." Xiao Yun reminded.

Su Ming responded sweetly.

Xiao Weiguo said, "Yes, it's good to hang out with the leader."

Soon, the two of them pushed their bicycles and prepared to set off. Before leaving, Xiao Yun specifically called out Yi Zhonghai.

"Let's go, uncle, let's go and wish Director Wang a happy new year. Don't you have something else to talk to him about?" Xiao Yun said straight to the point.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door with a conflicted look on his face. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Yun's serious expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, wait for me to put on my coat."

The three of them quickly arrived at Director Wang's house. On the way, Xiao Yun also bought two bags of pastries.

When he saw Xiao Yun, Director Wang was particularly happy to introduce him to his family.

"This is the grandson of the old man I mentioned. He is very handsome!"

Xiao Yun quickly responded modestly: "Director Wang, you think too highly of me. Today is the first day of the new year, and I wish you good luck in your work and a happy family." After saying that, he handed the pastries to Director Wang's family.

Su Ming also said, "Director Wang, I also wish you a smooth new year."

Director Wang smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly, "You too, come if you want to, why do you need to bring anything with you? Hahahaha, you just got married, so I wish you a happy family and a good life in the future!"

Yi Zhonghai was also a little embarrassed, but still said: "Director Wang, it's the New Year, I came here to wish you a happy new year."

Director Wang's smile froze on his face. Looking at Yi Zhonghai, he took a deep breath and his smile faded a little. "Master Yi, aren't you taking your apprentice to work in the streets? Why haven't you gone yet?"

"You can't be negligent just because your apprentice is in jail. I tell you, you are serving the people. This is a punishment and a test for you."

Previously, Yi Zhonghai had always treated the Xiao family differently, so Director Wang did not have a very good tone towards him.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care at all, but lowered his head and said: "Director, Xiao Yun accepted my apology, he... said that he doesn't have to work, so I came to wish you a happy new year?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yun immediately cast a questioning look.

Did I say this?

Xiao Yun was still doubting himself and hadn't figured out anything yet. Director Wang turned to Xiao Yun and asked, "Xiao Yun? Is this what you said?"

Before Xiao Yun opened his mouth, Yi Zhonghai answered: "Director Wang, Xiao Yun said that we all live in the same compound and should be united and friendly. Although I made a mistake, I have realized it..."

Director Wang waved his hand to interrupt, "I'm not asking you, I'm asking Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun smiled and glanced at Yi Zhonghai pulling his bag, and immediately a corner of a dark green notebook appeared.

Xiao Yun reacted immediately.

Okay, put me on the stove and roast me, and trick me.

Threatening with changing houses, you are amazing.

In less than a moment, Xiao Yun came up with an idea to fight back. He nodded and said:

"Yes, Director, I think that although Mr. Yi did something wrong, no one is perfect. He has been punished this time, so I think from my perspective, I should forgive him."

Director Wang pondered for a moment, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then slowly said: "Forget it, since you, the client, have accepted the apology, then I will listen to you and cancel the labor."

As he said that, he turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and said solemnly: "Master Yi, you are also an old man with some qualifications. I will let you go this time. If you dare to commit the same mistake again in the future, I will definitely punish you severely!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly, feeling a sense of pleasure of surviving a disaster.

At this moment, Xiao Yun interrupted and said, "Master Yi, tell me, when I accepted your apology, didn't you have other things to do? Tell me now."

Now it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to be confused.

He looked at Xiao Yun with confused eyes, not knowing what Xiao Yun meant, but from the playful and sarcastic look in his eyes, he concluded that this was not about the house.

Director Wang was a little puzzled and didn't know what the two were keeping in suspense.

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while and still didn't speak. Xiao Yun couldn't stand it anymore and said to Director Wang: "Director, Master Yi, Comrade Yi has a very high level of ideological awareness."

"When he apologized to me, he was so sincere that he almost cried, with snot and tears..."

Listening to Xiao Yun praising him, Yi Zhonghai felt a chill down his spine. He had no idea what Xiao Yun was up to.

Su Ming was watching from the side, also somewhat curious. Although she had just gotten married, she could see that the relationship between Xiao Yun and Yi Zhonghai was not as good as Xiao Yun said.

Finally, Xiao Yun got to the point.

"But these are not enough for me to forgive him. Master Yi said that although he will not work anymore, he is willing to contribute 200 yuan as a New Year subsidy in the name of the compound and give it to the neighborhood committee so that the neighborhood committee can provide appropriate care for the poor families."

"Listen, this is such a high level of awareness. He earns hundreds of dollars a month, and he is willing to spend two months' salary to do this, and let us benefit from it. Why shouldn't I forgive him?"

Director Wang's emotions were ignited when he heard this. "Okay! If it were me, I would forgive you too!"

"You are right. No one is perfect. I am willing to use my love to make up for my mistakes. I agree that he should stop working!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yi Zhonghai felt like the sky was falling. He finally understood why Xiao Yun praised him so much.

If his previous two sentences were like putting Xiao Yun on the fire, then Xiao Yun's words now were definitely like throwing him into a volcano.

On the stove, there is still a way out, but this volcano is a dead end!

If I object now, not only will my labor be cancelled, but Director Wang may even be unhappy and it would be normal for me to have to work an extra half year.
