Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

20

Yang Jun understood immediately: It would be best to carry out Deputy Director Li's orders as much as possible, but if it is really impossible to do so, it doesn't matter much. Since even the supply and marketing cooperative can't do it, it is even more impossible to expect the section chief to do it.

Of course, although we cannot do nothing, we must also take out thousands of kilograms to respond in some way.

But Yang Jun was not prepared to get away with it as Lao Wei had said, and decided to ensure that the task was completed in full according to the commitment made in the meeting.

Li Tiezhu pointed to the sky and said, "That's nonsense. Look who I am, Li Tiezhu. I have people up there to take care of me."

Yang Jun knew that this guy had a strong background and had heard him mention that this person was his uncle.

With such a backer, the career of any child will rise as fast as a rocket.

The two exchanged greetings for a moment, and then Yang Jun, without caring about his image, put his rubber shoes stained with snow water by the stove to dry, but his eyes were cast towards Li Gangtou's desk.

"Hey, you're such a kid, but you're already smoking Zhonghua cigarettes."

Without saying a word, he rushed over barefoot to grab the cigarette.

"Alas, you are so capable, and now you are a section-level cadre. Have you never seen any big scenes?"

Li Tiezhu stood up and went back to the table to sit down, then lowered his head and took out a cigarette from the table.

"This is from my uncle's family. It's not much, so I smoke it sparingly."

Yang Jun looked at the red-packaged Zhonghua cigarettes marked "internal supply" and realized that these were good products that were not easy to get.

Ordinary Zhonghua cigarettes in the mall cost at least 7.5 yuan a pack, which means one pack costs 150 yuan. But this guy bought it without hesitation and gave it away easily.

Yang Jun felt a little distressed.

Tsk tsk, this kid is really good at getting around.

"Li Gangtou, are you being generous today? I want to ask you for a favor."

Yang Jun took a deep breath of smoke, exhaled the smoke slowly, and spoke with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Li Tiezhu glared at the other person with a sharp look in his eyes, "If you have something to say, just say it now. Why are you holding it in?"

"Borrow some rice." Yang Jun stretched out his hand and made a number seven gesture.

"Seventy thousand?" Li Tiezhu's face changed slightly.

Yang Jun nodded in affirmation.

Li Tiezhu took a deep puff of cigarette and lowered his head to think for a moment.

"no problem."

"But we can only provide 40,000 kilograms here. I'll have to ask others for help for the rest."

"No problem, just remember to send it over after the New Year."

Yang Jun was also unambiguous.

The decades of friendship between the two were there, a friendship that spanned life and death. He never refused to help if he could; and if he couldn't, there was no need to say anything more or ask for help.

"Hey, you're so good at it, do you still want me to deliver it to you?"

"In order to avoid wasting your trip, how about adding two cents to the shipping fee?"

"I'll accept it reluctantly." Li Tiezhu rolled his eyes and responded.

They chatted for a long while, covering everything from serving in the army to working together. When Yang Jun confirmed that the matter had been settled, he did not stay any longer because he knew that Li Tiezhu was also very busy.

He put on his dried shoes and fastened his shoelaces as he left: "I'll come to your house to see your sister-in-law and nephew when I have time."

Li Tiezhu stared with his eyes wide open: "What the hell is sister-in-law? I still don't know how to write those two words."

Yang Jun was startled after hearing this, and suddenly pointed at Li Tiezhu and laughed out loud: "Haha, Li Gangtou."

As soon as these words came out, Li Tiezhu went crazy and jumped up and shouted:

"You're crazy! You don't think I'm married!"

After putting on his shoes, Yang Jun took a piece of newspaper, wrapped the two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and put them under his armpit, then said confidently: "How about we make a bet to see who can enter the palace of marriage first."

"Let's gamble. Am I afraid? The loser needs to prepare an extra gift of 1,000 yuan."

"Okay!" The two reached an agreement verbally and hit it off.

"Don't worry, Li Gangtou, you will definitely lose."

"Hey, then you just wait and see who will lose."

……

After leaving the grain warehouse, Yang Jun did not return to the factory immediately.

He spent twelve yuan to buy four cans of baby milk powder at the cooperative, then took out the remaining carton of Zhonghua cigarettes (he decided to keep the other one as a backup) and a few pounds of apples from Ciyuan's pocket, put them in a basket, and headed straight for Dongzhimen.

When entertaining the elders last night, he promised his eldest and second uncles that he would always stand on the opposite side and confront Yi Zhonghai head-on. He was not saying this for fun.

Since learning about Yi Zhonghai's malicious suppression of Yang Mei, Yang Jun made up his mind to give Yi Zhonghai a good lesson.

Although he would ignore Jia Zhang's tyranny, he would never tolerate Yi Zhonghai's behavior.

As for Jia Zhang, she is not a bad person by nature, she is just a person who likes to take advantage of others and is a gossip. Considering her female identity and poor background, it is reasonable to be more tolerant of her.

However, Yi Zhonghai's behavior was completely different. As an important figure and elder in the courtyard, he did not provide support but instead constantly excluded young people. This should not be underestimated.

There is a slang saying: Taking away someone's job is like cutting off their parents' hearts.

To Yang Mei, his exploitation never allowed her to obtain a formal position, which was equivalent to indirectly blocking her economic development, an act that went beyond simple retaliation.

There is a stubborn viciousness in the nature of this kind of person. He is born to hate others who are better than him. He likes to look down on you and watch you kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

Since the decision has been made to cut off ties with Yi Zhonghai, action must be taken.

The support from the second and third masters alone was not enough, so today, Yang Mei brought some gifts to visit his aunt Aunt Wang.

"Junzi, why are you carrying things when you were so enthusiastic when you came in?" Aunt Wang showed dissatisfaction on her face and blamed Yang Jun for spending money indiscriminately.

"Junzi, stay and have a drink. Don't leave in a hurry. Keep your Uncle Li company." Uncle Li held his hand tightly and dragged him into the house, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Uncle Li’s name is Li Zhong. He is Wang Xuemei’s husband and the big boss of the unit. He is a real senior figure and his every word is like an imperial decree.

The couple devoted themselves to their career when they were young and experienced countless hardships before finally achieving their current status.

Now that their careers are going well and their families are harmonious, their lives can be said to be perfect and there are no regrets.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Wang, you two don't have to be so polite. I've lived here for so many days and I haven't come to visit you yet. It's really rude." Yang Jun said, somewhat apologetically.

"What's so rude about this? There's no need to be polite to our relatives." Wang Zhong patted Yang Jun's shoulder to show his closeness.

Wang Yuying and Wang Xuemei have been like sisters since childhood and have a very close relationship.

After they each started their own families, they maintained their relationship as before. Li Zhong and Yang Gui naturally got to know each other. Li Zhong did not look down on Yang Gui's work background and often communicated closely with him.

In front of Wang Xuemei and Li Zhong and his wife, Yang Jun didn't need to pretend. He found a seat, picked up the cigarette that Li Zhong had placed on the table and took a puff.

"Isn't Brother Jianguo at home?" he asked casually.

"Brother Jianguo has a lot of work to do at the police station. I heard that he has to work overtime on patrol tonight. What a shame." Aunt Wang poured him a glass of water and said helplessly.

"Well, he's not a high-ranking official, but he's busier than me as a director. I have to call him and ask him to go home and have some rest." Li Zhong said this with a tone full of injustice, because his grandson had almost never seen his father.

---

(Wang Xuemei picked up the phone and made a call.

This guy is so unreasonable. He only cares about his own happiness. He gave birth to a bunch of children and left them to be taken care of by two old people, while he doesn't care about them at all.

The two elderly people often take short vacations to go home for the sake of their grandson, which makes it impossible for them to devote themselves to their work. Their son only comes home once every three or four days, and disappears without a trace in the early morning of the next day.

Li Jianguo's wife Sally was in the room recuperating after giving birth. Yang Jun didn't want to disturb her, so he said hello to her through the curtain and then went to accompany Li Zhong.

Aunt Wang brought her eldest son and youngest son to Yang Jun, told them to kneel down on both knees and kowtow to their godfather, and asked them to call him "Dad".

This made Yang Jun, who had never married, feel embarrassed. He suddenly had three adopted sons and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Yang Jun hurriedly helped his two adopted sons up and gave each of them a red envelope of 20 yuan. He also gave the eldest son an extra 20 yuan to give to his newborn little brother.

After Aunt Wang and Uncle Li declined, they let the children play by themselves.

Then Aunt Wang chatted with Yang Jun for a while, and then went to the kitchen alone to busy herself.

Yang Jun accompanied Li Zhong in recounting his military history. In comparison, Li Zhong's life at that time was very hard. He could hardly have enough food all year round, and death was always hanging in his mind.

But they were lucky to be alive, as countless comrades sacrificed their lives behind them. Their current position is not accidental but well-deserved.

Yang Jun seldom spoke about his own affairs, and always maintained a listening attitude, letting Li Zhong control the general direction of the conversation.

Compared with Li Zhong's experience, Yang Jun's story is simply not worth mentioning.

After the two chatted for about an hour, Aunt Wang brought the food and just as she was arranging it neatly, Li Jianguo happened to return home.

Seeing this, Yang Jun hurried forward to greet them. The two brothers hugged each other intimately, and it seemed that they were about to sleep together and overlap their pillows.

Before he even had time to sit down, Li Jianguo had to endure round after round of accusations of being "unfilial" from Aunt Wang and Uncle Li.

On the side, Yang Jun just watched with a smile, but Li Jianguo was calm and did not take these remarks seriously at all. He also kept winking at Yang Jun, indicating that brother, now you understand why I didn't go home.

The two old men scolded for a while before dinner officially began.

Yang Jun accompanied Li Zhong and Li Jianguo for a drink, while Aunt Wang distributed some food to her daughter and daughter-in-law who were in confinement after childbirth.

Not long after, Aunt Wang came out from the inner room. As soon as she sat down, she said to Yang Jun:

“Xiao Zijun, if you don’t come to see me today, I will take the initiative to visit your home tomorrow night.

"

"Auntie, is there anything that requires you to come here in person?" Yang Jun said half-jokingly.

"The son of an old friend, he's in good condition, I think he's suitable for you.

He will meet you tomorrow.

"Auntie Wang revealed.

Then, Li Jianguo interrupted and said, "I know that girl from Uncle Yi's family is very pretty. Junzi, it's okay for you to go and see her. If I get married later, maybe I will be attracted to her."

"How can you talk nonsense and make fun of my sister-in-law!" Li Zhong knocked on Li Jianguo's head.

"Haha...Uncle Li, we're not that close yet, so there's no rush to settle.

"Yang Jun quickly clarified and said he wanted to decline.

Just as Yang Jun was about to refuse, Aunt Wang suddenly put her chopsticks on the table, looked at Yang Jun seriously, and said sternly: "Boy, you dare to refuse? Do you want me to slap you in the face to test your courage?"

Yang Jun responded with a smile: “Hey, auntie, of course I am willing to obey, and it’s settled when we meet tomorrow.

"

Hearing Yang Jun's agreement, Aunt Wang immediately smiled and gently stroked his head.

"Tomorrow at Houhai Park, look for the girl holding the Literary Review. That's the sign.

"Auntie Wang said, Yang Jun joked that this was exactly the same as the intelligence connection she made when she was young.

"You just know how to be funny and make fun of your elders, right? I can't stand such jokes.

I am the leader of our street, a senior figure, who would not respect me? "Yang Yi added fuel to the fire, "What's more, I am looking forward to making a living under your protection, Auntie, can you consider giving me a chance?"

"Hey, just speak frankly. You should be punished for beating around the bush.

Aunt Wang sensed the hidden meaning and asked in a stern tone.

When he felt the atmosphere was right, Yang Jun stopped laughing and responded seriously: "What I want is to become the recognized leader of our courtyard."

clap clap-

After hearing this, the three members of the family were instantly choked on their rice and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Jianguo laughed and said, "Oh my god, how old are you and you want to be the boss? Is there water in your head?" Then, Yang Jun glanced at him with a stern expression.

So he recounted in detail how Yi Zhonghai had suppressed Yang Mei over the years and how he had oppressed their family.

Hearing this, Aunt Wang was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks and bowl, slammed the table and shouted: "Yi Zhonghai is too much! He looks kind and honest, but he is so cruel and takes the opportunity to bully the weak. I trust him so much and asked him to care about your family many times, but he..."

When Yang Jun and Aunt Wang came back, many people gathered in the yard.

Everyone was carrying their stools and preparing to leave.

"Director, why are you here at this time? Do you have any important orders?" Yi Zhonghai, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and an attentive attitude, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome to the Director's presence and guidance. Your presence brings honor to our humble institution.
