Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Xiao Yun was speechless. Human relationships are really harmful. Just as he was about to get angry, Su Ming coughed lightly and took the initiative to pour a glass of water for both of them.

After this episode, Xiao Yun calmed down a little and said rationally: "Uncle, you helped me get the table for my wedding, I thank you for this."

"But, to be honest, I didn't accept any gifts when I set up the banquet, and I prepared the food for everyone, so it's not a personal relationship. But as the former steward, is it right for you to do this for a banquet for everyone in the compound?"

"Also, on the wedding day, I not only gave your two sons five dollars each, but also ten kilograms of flour as a token of my gratitude. Isn't this asking your family for help in vain?"

"At the same time, when we get married, I will arrange for you to sit at the same table with the director and let you talk about the position of the boss. Isn't this considered a help?"

"All these, even if added together, may not be a huge contribution, but it should be equal to the fact that you helped me move the table, right?"

"You didn't mention anything about what I did, and you just said you helped me move the table and got me married. That's not okay. That's not how people get along."

"You can't say I'm bad just because I don't help you with this."

After saying this, Xiao Yun's patience had completely disappeared. "So, go home. I can't help you with this."

Liu Haizhong's face looked ugly. Listening to what Xiao Yun said, he also felt that he was in the wrong. After all, the white flour for the New Year's Eve dinner was from the Xiao family.

But he still felt unhappy.

"Xiao Yun, I misjudged you. I thought you were a person who knew how to repay kindness, but I didn't expect you to change your attitude so quickly. You haven't even officially become a leader yet, but you're so arrogant. You're not willing to help with even the smallest favor. I don't know how a leader would like someone like you."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong was about to leave angrily.

Before leaving the room, Xiao Yun held his bangs in his mouth and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean I'm not officially a leader? Explain yourself clearly before you leave."

Liu Haizhong stood at the door, turned around and snorted, "Xiao Yun, you, you, it's meaningless if you say that. If you go to pay New Year's greetings to Deputy Director Li today, I don't believe that he didn't tell you about your promotion!"

"I'm telling you, you're just a small clerk, you don't even have any power, why are you so arrogant?"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong pulled open the door curtain and left the house.

Xiao Yun was also very upset. Is Liu Haizhong mentally healthy? What nonsense is he talking about?

When Su Ming saw Liu Haizhong leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "What did this old man just say that you are a clerk?"

Xiao Yun thought about it and shook his head. "I don't know, but I've already told Deputy Director Li that I don't want to get involved in politics. This is unlikely, and he's probably just fooling people."

After saying that, Xiao Yun fell into deep thought, as if nothing was impossible.

With Li Huaide's promotion, the director position below will be vacant. Based on this man's character, he will definitely train his own people.

He gave Li Huaide several gifts and was pulled up to the leadership level, which didn't seem too outrageous.

Even somewhat normal.

Combined with what Liu Haizhong said, Xiao Yun suddenly felt that nothing was impossible.

"It seems possible, but I don't know why you didn't tell me." Xiao Yun said again.

Su Ming looked excited, "Maybe I haven't informed you yet. If this is true, that would be great!"

Xiao Yun's expression relaxed a little. "No matter whether it's true or not, let's have something good for lunch today. Isn't there a lamb leg left? I'll bring it back later and we can have it for lunch."

Su Ming smiled slightly, with some anticipation and some reluctance, "Why don't we save it for a while and eat it during the holidays? We've already eaten a lot of meat in the past two days, so we still need to save some money when we live."

Xiao Yun waved his hand, "No need to save! From now on, I will let you eat meat every day!"

"Really?" Su Ming couldn't help but exclaimed, "But how much will it cost!"

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Is money a problem for you to worry about? You just need to wait patiently for the meat, but I'm telling you in advance, so don't tell anyone. If there's anything good, we can eat it secretly."

Su Ming hummed, then nodded and said, "I know, we can't let anyone find out, otherwise it's easy to get jealous and cause trouble."

"That's right, let's live our lives behind closed doors." After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he strolled off to get the leg of lamb.

At noon, the whole compound was filled with fragrance. Many residents who came home to pay New Year's greetings could not help drooling when they smelled the aroma.

When Teacher Su Ming came to the middle courtyard to eat, the deaf old lady sensed an opportunity and immediately walked towards the backyard, limping step by step on her crutches.

But unfortunately, Teacher Su Ming has always had the habit of locking the door because he lives on the street.

The deaf old lady looked at the padlock hanging on the door and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came to the backyard. When he saw the old lady, he immediately went up to her and said, "Old lady, what are you doing here? I told you to eat, why don't you go back to the house?"

The deaf old lady was nervous, so she said, "I smelled the aroma of meat and wanted to see whose family it was."

Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it, but helped the deaf old lady up, "Old lady, we just ate meat yesterday, why are you greedy again? Besides, this meat belongs to Xiao Yun's family, why did you come to the backyard?"

The deaf old lady was too lazy to pay attention to Yi Zhonghai, so she started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, "What did you say? I can't hear you."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a while, "Well, your ears are not only broken, but your nose is also broken."

...

The next morning, the sky was light blue, and a hint of coolness wrapped in the smoke from cooking heralded a new day.

Inside Xiao Yun's house, the stove had been lit, and on top of it sat a large pot. The porridge in the pot was boiling, emitting bursts of aroma.

"I think it's about time. I'll eat first and go straight to work after that. You and the teacher can eat later." Xiao Yun said as he served himself a bowl of porridge.

Su Ming nodded, "Okay, come and have an egg."

"Well, it's a good opportunity for me to ask you about that job today. If nothing goes wrong, it should be fine." Xiao Yun said casually.

Su Ming felt a surge of anticipation and deftly peeled two eggs and handed them over.

After dinner, Xiao Yun pushed his bicycle out of the compound.

Because the truck driver's job is special, he has to deliver some raw materials in advance and start work one day earlier than ordinary workers. Therefore, when Xiao Yun pushed the cart out of the compound, many people in the compound had not started cooking yet.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Yun went all the way to the steel rolling mill.

Passing by the security department, Xiao Yun specifically called Li Lei over and handed him two packs of cigarettes, "Brother Lei, I didn't see you on my wedding day. Why didn't you go to dinner?"

Li Lei was in uniform and full of energy. When he saw Xiao Yun, he smiled and responded, "Oh, don't mention it. We arrested a few people that day and interrogated them overnight. Forget about going to your house for lunch. I didn't even have lunch that day!"

"Your girlfriend's family members are really bold, but fortunately, they were sentenced to seven or eight years in prison for destroying a military marriage, extorting money and property, and intentionally assaulting others. It's a relief to everyone."

As he spoke, he became concerned about Xiao Yun's neck, "Is your neck okay?"

Xiao Yun subconsciously touched it. He had specially wiped it with the stream water in the space these two days. It had already scabbed and fallen off, so it was considered healed.

"This minor injury is not serious. By the way, I need help with something." Xiao Yun said seriously.
