Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

Seeing all this, Yang Jun showed a satisfied expression.

Ma Juzi has a sharp eye and is good at doing things. He is much more clever than An Guo.

After arriving at the factory, Yang Jun processed all the documents and drove away alone.

The target was to be converted into a warehouse for temporary accommodation and headquarters.

Just before the parking door was closed, Yang Jun caught a glimpse of a head sticking out of the warehouse. After recognizing the identity, he quickly opened the door to greet the person.

The warehouse had been completely changed after a busy night and was converted into a dormitory-like space.

The floor inside was covered with straw mats and quilts, making it as simple and comfortable as a bunk bed.

On the desk in the corner, there was a small blackboard with several names, photos and clues written on it. It was obviously a tool for collecting information.

"Hello, Director, Yang." Militia captain Hu Dazhuang came to greet and replaced the absent Wang Erwa.

"Captain, the conditions here are very poor. Thank you all for your hard work." Yang Jun looked around and walked around in the warehouse which only had a large heater, lamenting the harsh environment.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jun took action.

He thought this matter was unexpected and needed to discuss it in detail with Yang Jianguo and make a joint decision.

He did not choose to go back to the factory, but went straight home, entered the study, locked the door, picked up the phone and started dialing.

In order to avoid possible security risks in making phone calls, Yang Jun chose not to use the office's phone line.

"Hello, Director Yang..." Yang Jianguo, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a long time after listening to Yang Jun's narration, and finally responded calmly and worriedly:

“Little brother, although this incident may be an opportunity, we must be extremely cautious.

You must not be careless when conducting an investigation. Since I am busy with work, you'd better report to your superiors, especially since our leader is temporarily out and will not be back until two days later."

“I have taken measures in advance and did not use internal personnel of the steel mill to investigate, but borrowed external forces.

This matter must be ensured to be foolproof to avoid failure and getting into trouble." Yang Jianguo further emphasized.

"I understand. I will conduct a secret investigation. If I feel the trend is not right, I will stop immediately. Please rest assured, Director Yang." Yang Jun promised.

The call ended after the two communicated for more than ten minutes.

Both Yang Jun and Yang Jianguo need to handle this sudden situation carefully to ensure that all decisions are in the best interests of the entire team.

Ma Xiangxiu was very agile and in less than ten minutes, she brought out a bowl of hot fried egg noodles.

The noodles are sprinkled with a little chopped green onion and a few drops of fragrant sesame oil, and the aroma is no less delicious than that of the snack bars outside.

Yang Jun took two deep breaths, letting the fragrance fill his whole body, then he picked up his chopsticks and started to enjoy the food.

"Brother, the quilt is ready. When do you think we should give it to Sister Mei?" Ma Xiangxiu sat aside and watched her brother eat quietly.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Take the four quilts and put them in the car first, and I will deliver them directly to you in the evening after I get off work.

Just have dinner at your mother's place, you don't have to cook."

"Okay, then shall I go get the rest of the quilt?"

"Okay, take it."

Yang Jun nodded in agreement and threw the car keys to his sister.

This time she helped make a total of ten quilts, two of which were given to Li Tiezhu, and the remaining four were given to Yangmei, and their family kept four.

Just as Yang Jun finished eating noodles, Ma Xiangxiu returned to the yard. After returning the car keys, she went back to the yard where she lived to move the quilt.

Yang Jun took the key, said hello, and went back to the factory to work.

On the way to work in the afternoon, Yang Jun went to chat with Li Huaide, holding a large teacup in one hand, and the two played a few games of chess together.

Lost three games in a row.

It seems that Yang Jun has never won a game since he entered the factory.

This is true whether he is playing against Lao Wei, Deputy Director Li or other leaders.

The more you fight, the more you lose, and the more you lose, the more you want to fight.

I sighed, feeling helpless.

How come these people have no regard for feelings at all?

It wouldn't be too much to at least win once, even if it's a draw.

Yang Jun was depressed. He waved his hand, disrupted the chess game, and left.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Yang Jun saw Ma Juzi by the car and let him get in Yang Anguo's car to go home first.

He drove the car himself and took Yi Qiu Shui back to their hometown.

As soon as he parked the car, he heard a commotion coming from the yard, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Oh, what a coincidence.

He didn't want to get involved in these family disputes, but as the factory supervisor and the elder here, he couldn't escape anything.

He came here today specifically to bring a quilt to Yangmei, so he couldn't go back empty-handed.

He and Yi Qiu Shui each carried two quilts into the yard.

The noise seemed to come from the inner courtyard, and Qin Huairu's voice could be vaguely heard.

Yang Jun quickly raised the quilt in his arms slightly to cover his face, then quickened his pace and crossed the inner courtyard.

The two men carried the quilt and went straight to Yangmei's room, and then returned to the old house.

Wang Yuying was cooking dinner in the kitchen, Yang Liu was helping her, and Yang Laosi had gone off to play mischievously, leaving Yang Huai alone, sitting on a small stool and playing bored.

As soon as he saw Yang Jun, Xiaowu Yang Huai ran over excitedly, wrapped his legs around him and said, "Big Pot, I want some candy."

Yang Jun picked him up, kissed him on the cheek, and pinched it.

Then he asked, "You're already this old, why are you still wearing those open-crotch pants?"

Ever since she reminded Wang Yuying not to let Yang Huai wear open-crotch pants, she seems to have not changed.

I still treasure the money and tickets he gave me.

Although Yang Huai was only four years old, he had already begun to be sensible. He hugged Yang Jun's neck tightly, and his laughter rang in his ears like bells.

"Big pot, I want to eat melon seeds."

Yang Jun put Yang Huai down, put his hands into his sleeves, pretended to take something out, then took out a pound of spiced melon seeds from another space and handed it to him.

"Well, go play."

Holding the five-spice melon seeds, Yang Huai ran away happily and started the game of peeling melon seeds.

Yang Huai is a sweets lover. Whenever he gets a candy, he swallows it all in one gulp and never leaves it for tomorrow.

There was a 'crunching' sound every time he chewed, which made Yang Jun very worried that he might have diabetes. Therefore, he always brought various snacks to Yang Huai on weekdays to comfort the child with delicious food.

Children are easily satisfied and will behave well as long as they are given snacks.

Seeing his son cracking melon seeds attentively, Yang Jun immediately got up and went to the kitchen.

Yi Qiu Shui was helping Wang Yuying prepare meals, but her cooking skills were quite limited.

Although she claims that she can cook, in reality she can only cook noodles - the kind where she even forgets to add salt.

Now Wang Yuying asked her to be responsible for guarding the stove and constantly stirring the burnt corn porridge.

"Mom, what happened in the middle courtyard? I just heard Qin Huairu's voice." Wang Yuying answered while flipping the cooking food with a spatula in her hand, "What else could it be? Huairu recently took a leave of absence and stayed at home to fight with the relatives of the Yi family for a house."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun immediately understood what was going on.

He knew that this dispute was far from over and was just the beginning, with bigger battles waiting to come.

On the surface, both parties pretended to be very filial to the late Aunt Yi just to obtain the ownership of the two houses.

Each of them has their own reasons: Gu Dani, as the only niece, believes that she should own the house, while Qin Huairu insists on occupying the two rooms on the grounds that Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's child and Banggeng Xiaodang Huaihua is the family bloodline.

The quarrels between the two families continued almost every day, especially after Aunt Yi was laid to rest.

The neighbors were fed up with the noise, and every morning was interrupted by quarrels, which occasionally escalated to children fighting each other.

Uncle Yang and great grandfather tried to mediate again and again, but with little success. If they interfered too much, it would cause dissatisfaction among the two girls, and they became the target of their accusations.

Not long after, Yang Mei and Liu Zhiqiang returned home after a hard day's work.

As their wedding date is approaching, Liu Zhiqiang will come to help with housework and purchasing items after get off work.

"Brother, sister-in-law is back." They said in unison.

After parking the car, Liu Zhiqiang took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Jun, helping Yang Jun light it.

Then he announced, "I've got some new quilts for you. I've put them in your room."

Hearing this, Yangmei happily jumped into the bedroom to check the quilt.

Yang Jun took Liu Zhiqiang to the stairs outside and sat down, asking, "How is your preparation going?"

Although Liu Zhiqiang doesn't smoke, he put the cigarette in his pocket after learning that the topic had changed and replied, "Everything has been basically prepared. There are only five or six tables of banquets over there. The chef for the banquet is Master Wang, who my sister invited from the school cafeteria."

Yang Jun went on to say: "Live a good life after you get married. I will come to help you when you need it. I am sure you will have a good life." His words made Liu Zhiqiang's eyes redden. Hope was rekindled in his heart, and his previous worries were gradually put aside.

It turned out that he had some misunderstandings about Yang Jun before and was worried that he would be looked down upon by the other party because he came from a poor family. Today's heartfelt words relieved him of the worry in his heart.

He knew that Yang Jun did not look down on him because of this, and was sincerely helping him.

By the way, are you still an apprentice now?" Yang Jun asked, holding a cigarette, with concern in his eyes.

Liu Zhiqiang blushed and answered honestly: "Yes, brother."

Tomorrow, I will officially process your regularization procedures. You will work in the production line department first, and I will consider transferring you to the office after some time.

Thank you very much brother.

Liu Zhi was very excited. Noticing that Yang Jun's cigarette was almost finished, he quickly took out another one and lit it for him.

However, Yang Jun frowned slightly.

As lunch was approaching, he didn't want to smoke too much, so he put the cigarette on his earlobe.

He arranged for Liu Zhi to become a regular employee instead of transferring him directly to the office. This was a decision made after careful consideration.

On the one hand, he hopes to increase his income level through a full-time salary.

On the other hand, he didn't want Liu Zhi to be on the same level as Yang Mei too quickly.

He hopes that Yangmei will play a dominant role in this family.

Whether in terms of salary or management level, it is necessary to ensure that Yang Mei surpasses Liu Zhi so that her prestige in the family can be improved.

After talking with Liu Zhi for a while, Yi Qiu Shui came over with a smile and called the two of them to have dinner.

...

While they were enjoying their meal,

The old man's voice was heard outside the compound.

Sister-in-law, is Junzi here?

Yang Jun signaled to those who were still eating to continue eating, and he stood up to greet them.

At the gate of the yard, the eldest uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui stood together in the small courtyard in front of the gate.

Second uncle, third uncle, have you had your meal?

The third master replied with a smile on his face: Seeing your car parked at the door, I know you must be at home.

With his hands behind his back, he looked worried.

Junzi, you can't understand it because you don't live here. Qin Huairu and Gu Dani are really too much. They started quarreling before dawn and couldn't stop until late at night.

The other people in the yard were fed up with it. This problem could not be delayed any longer, otherwise everyone would be yawning while working during the day.

Yang Jun smiled gently and gave each of them a cigarette.

Second Uncle, Third Uncle, now that I have moved out of this yard, I am no longer a master. Please handle the affairs in the yard yourselves.

He had no intention of taking over these troublesome matters. He was no longer the old man living in the yard, and no one had the heart to care about other people's affairs.

Upon hearing this, the second uncle immediately looked very happy, with a cunning look in his eyes, and he had already begun to plan for an opportunity.

If Yang Jun is no longer the boss, then naturally, his status as the second boss will rise.

The third master had a different idea. No matter whether Yang Jun was the boss of this courtyard or not, in his eyes, Liu Haizhong would always be second.

Since it is difficult for him to become the boss, neither the second master nor the third master will have any impact on his status.

However, compared to Liu Haizhong, San Ye is more shrewd.

As long as Yang Jun is still the boss of this courtyard, he is not afraid of covering the sky with one hand.

Moreover, even if Yang Jun is not in charge of the affairs of the hospital, it is usually the two of them who make the decisions.

Whether Yang Jun steps down or not, it doesn’t mean much to him.

Junzi, this old man's burden cannot be put down so easily. As long as you are around, I will feel more at ease. Mr. Liu, what do you think?

The second uncle's face was a little stiff, and he whispered in agreement: What Old Yan said... does make some sense, but...

The Third Master immediately interrupted him: There is no but. Even if Junzi is no longer the boss, he is still the leader of the factory. If something goes wrong with his employees, can he just ignore it?

Fearing that Yang Jun would take the opportunity to resign from the position of chief manager, the Third Master quickly mentioned his position to prevent him from easily shirking his responsibilities.

Yang Jun smiled helplessly: Okay, I will take on the title of uncle for now, and the affairs of the hospital still need to be decided by you two elders.

Yang Jun could not get rid of his identity as a master for the time being, so he had to continue to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

In fact, he had no intention of interfering in his heart, but he could not resist the insistence of the Third Master, so he had to come forward to deal with this troublesome matter.

Uncle San looked at Uncle Sibling Yan Bugui with dissatisfaction, then turned back to Yang Jun and said:

"Junzi, you are the uncle, can you tell me how to deal with this matter?"
