The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Ahem, Lao Liu, Lao Yi, you guys are off work, why are you so late today?"

Yan Bugui saw Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai also came back from get off work, so he walked up to them and asked, "By the way, Xu Damao is back, and he seems very proud."

Yan Bugui deliberately did not say why Xu Damao was so proud, just to test the two of them to see if what Xu Damao said was true.

Liu Haizhong's face turned very bad when he heard this, because he also knew the news of Xu Damao's promotion.

Before, he considered himself as the only two cadres in the courtyard, but who would have thought that Xu Damao would actually surpass him.

Liu Haizhong had an indignant expression on his face and said, "He must be very proud. He is now a deputy section chief."

Liu Haizhong seemed to be gritting his teeth when he spoke, and no one knew why he was so angry.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui pretended to be surprised and said, "That's true. I thought he was making fun of me."

Yi Zhonghai stood aside and heard the conversation between the two. He had no thoughts in his mind. Yi Zhonghai is no longer the same Yi Zhonghai as before. Now he just wants to go back and see his beloved son.

So he planned to bypass the two people and continue walking towards the courtyard.

"Hey, Lao Yi, why don't you say something?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to leave, Yan Bugui hurriedly stopped him and asked.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even turn his head, waved his hand at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about? He is capable. What's the point of us talking more?"

"Might as well go home and eat."

After Yi Zhonghai left, the two were left looking at each other.

In fact, Yan Bugui had no good intentions. He just wanted to find someone to deal with Xu Damao.

Who made Yan Bugui feel threatened at this time?

Because of Liu Minghui, the three of them could no longer control all the residents in the courtyard. Now Xu Damao has also become more powerful. One can imagine the current situation of the three of them.

Just now, Yan Bugui was only planning on Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, wanting them to lead the charge.

I don’t know whether Yi Zhonghai saw through his tricks or he simply didn’t care. In any case, Yan Bugui’s plan could be said to have failed.

There is no way, because Liu Haizhong's prestige in the yard is far inferior to Yi Zhonghai's. Even if Liu Haizhong is the boss in name, it won't work.

If the people in the courtyard don’t agree with him, what can he do?

"Old Liu, what do you think? Just let Xu Damao put pressure on us old guys?"

Looking at Liu Haizhong beside him, Yan Bugui asked seriously.

"You know, you are the boss in the backyard. If Xu Damao wants to... you know what will happen."

Yan Bugui knew that Liu Haizhong was a man who cared most about his reputation, so he tried to seduce him, especially because what Yan Bugui said touched Liu Haizhong's heart.

You have to know that usually few people listen to him when he speaks in the backyard. If Xu Damao stands up and clearly refutes him, then who is the boss in this yard?

When he thought of this, Liu Haizhong shuddered all over.

"No, I can't sit still and wait for death."

Liu Haizhong thought about it and decided to go back quickly. He no longer paid attention to Yan Bugui beside him. He said something casually and left.

"Why don't any of you care? Alas."

Seeing this, Yan Bugui could only sigh deeply.

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

"What did you say? That bad guy Xu Damao can also be an official. Are you kidding me?"

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, she immediately showed a surprised expression. If it were someone else, Jia Zhang would not have reacted so strongly.

It was because Xu Damao loved to show off the things he brought back from the countryside. Jia Zhang could only see them but not touch them, so how could she not be angry?

By the way, I also remembered Xu Damao. For example, he married Li Guihua after his divorce.

Not many people paid attention to it at first, but Jia Zhang, the big mouth, often told people outside that Xu Damao would definitely not be able to have children and would have to marry a widow with children in the end.

Because of this matter, Xu Damao didn't know how many times he had quarreled with Jia Zhang.

The same goes for Li Guihua. She is not at all inferior to Jia Zhang.

Li Guihua, who grew up in the countryside, is not afraid of quarreling with others.

When Jia Zhang said that Li Guihua was a widow who had brought her husband to death, Li Guihua also brought up the old Jia and the little Jia that Jia Zhang often mentioned.

It’s nothing more than that even if Jia Zhang was a widow, and not just an ordinary widow, she had killed her husband and son, and maybe she would not have a good ending in the end.

"With his character, he can become an official. Are the leaders of the steel mill blind?"

Jia Zhang kept on talking in such a foul language that Qin Huairu felt helpless, thinking that Jia Zhang just didn't know what was going on and why was she talking so loudly.

"Mom, just be quiet. Do you want everyone in the courtyard to know?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's voice stagnated. As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. This was an idea deeply engraved in Jia Zhang's bones. It was as if she had offended almost everyone in the courtyard, even Yi Zhonghai was no exception.

But Jia Zhang never caused any trouble in front of Liu Minghui, just because Liu Minghui was a cadre.

"Let it go then, but that bitch will be too easy."

Jia Zhang said with gnashing teeth in hatred.

Because of these two people, Jia Zhang was rumored to be a jinx outside. You know, she used this to criticize others before, how could she let outsiders say this about her?

So Jia Zhang never let it go and was thinking about when to give Xu Damao's family a big gift.

It would be best to confirm the news that Xu Damao was infertile that had been circulating before.

"What else can we do? Let's eat."

Qin Huairu said unhappily, how can we start eating?

The food on the dining table is not very good, but it is not bad either. At least it is among the best in the courtyard.

The staple food is steamed buns made of two kinds of flour. It can only be said that Qin Huairu is very smart. Although there is no help from outsiders, Qin Huairu knows how to find ways to always bring back some good things and occasionally have meat.

It can be seen from Banggeng’s chubby face that the Jia family is not doing badly at all.

"Okay, at worst I'll just take a step back and not go out for the time being."

Jia Zhang also sat down angrily, picked up the big steamed bun and started biting it hard, as if she was not eating a steamed bun but an enemy.

"Master, you are back."

In the backyard, as soon as Xu Damao returned home, Li Guihua hurried to greet him and asked him about his well-being.

"dad."

Xu Damao's two sons also shouted in unison.

"Hey, cook some more dishes tonight. Today is a good day. I got a promotion. Let's celebrate."

Xu Damao gave instructions to Li Guihua, and then went to be intimate with his two sons.

"Becoming an official, really?"

Li Guihua still looked unconvinced at this moment and kept asking Xu Damao.

"Of course."

Xu Damao replied proudly.

Upon hearing this, Li Guihua happily went to prepare dinner.
