Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Yi Zhonghai was sent to the hospital, and He Daqing didn't stay in the infirmary for long before returning to the office.

By the time they got off work in the afternoon, almost all the employees at the steel rolling mill knew about the problem with Yi Zhonghai's assessment.

Everyone was talking along the way.

Sha Zhu also asked curiously: "Dad, I heard that old man Yi Zhonghai lost his entire arm during the assessment?"

He Daqing said unhappily: "Who told you that? He just lost a few fingers."

Sha Zhu touched his head and said, "I heard it from others. Some people even said that half of Yi Zhonghai's body was gone. I also think it's a little unreliable."

"If half of his body was gone, he would have died long ago. Would he still need to be sent to the hospital?"

The two were talking while pushing the cart, and just as they reached the gate, they saw Liu Haizhong running over with his chubby body.

While running, he was panting and shouting He Daqing's name.

He Daqing stopped and turned to look at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong took two breaths before saying, "Daqing, you walked so fast. I called you from a long distance away, didn't you hear me?"

"Old Liu, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

"Daqing, I heard something happened to Lao Yi? Were you there at the time? What happened?"

He Daqing handed Liu Haizhong a cigarette, and then the two of them talked as they walked.

"You really asked the right person about this. At that time, Director Yang specifically asked me to go over and watch the eighth-level worker assessment. I didn't expect that Lao Yi's legs were not healed yet and he came to the assessment on crutches."

Liu Haizhong also sighed: "Alas! Lao Yi is too strong-willed. I only passed the seventh-level worker exam, but he always wanted to suppress me and insisted on passing the eighth-level worker exam. Isn't this a problem?"

"Old Liu, have you passed the seventh level?"

Liu Haizhong smiled proudly and said, "That must have passed! Don't you see who I am?"

"Then congratulations, Lao Liu. I'll have to celebrate for you tonight."

Liu Haizhong said hesitantly: "Daqing, you said that Lao Yi just got into trouble, and we celebrated. Isn't that a bit bad?"

He Daqing said casually: "Old Liu! What does Old Yi's accident have to do with us? We just need to live our lives as usual."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, come to my house for a drink tonight. I'll go back and call Old Yan as well."

He Daqing smiled and patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder and said, "That's right, Lao Liu. If you think about it this way, Lao Yi's work level will never be higher than yours in the future. Then, as the second uncle, shouldn't you be more upright than the first uncle? In the future, Siheyuan will listen to you, right?"

Liu Haizhong was fooled by He Daqing's words. He thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

From now on, Yi Zhonghai will no longer be superior to him. So can he push Yi Zhonghai down and become the boss himself?

With this thought, Liu Haizhong suddenly became proud.

The two said a few words and then parted.

He Daqing and Sha Zhu rode their bikes back, but Liu Haizhong could only walk back.

He looked at He Daqing and Sha Zhu riding bicycles, and suddenly he felt jealous again. He, a second uncle and a seventh-level worker, didn't even have a bicycle. Why did He Daqing and the others ride one? It seemed that he had to find a way to get one as soon as possible.

Back at the courtyard, Yan Bugui was fiddling with his dying flowers and plants at the door again.

When he saw He Daqing, he seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing scene of the previous few days.

He ran over and said, "Daqing, someone from your factory came this afternoon to inform us that something happened to Lao Yi. What happened?"

"Old Yan, how do you know everything? You didn't skip work again this afternoon, did you?"

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't have classes in the afternoon, so I left a little early."

He Daqing looked at Yan Bugui speechlessly. This guy is really a dog that can't change its nature. He still wants a raise, and it's good enough that they don't reduce your salary.

Then, He Daqing didn't say any more to Yan Bugui and told him the whole process of Yi Zhonghai's accident.

After listening to this, Yan Bugui sighed and said, "I said that Lao Yi's wife ran out crying in the afternoon. I asked her and she didn't even respond to me. The Lao Yi family is finished now."

He Daqing said impatiently: "How can he be dead? He just got his hand injured, not dead. The factory will probably take care of it. Why should we worry about it?"

After listening to this, Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around and he asked quietly, "Daqing, how much compensation do you think the factory will give to the Yi family?"

He Daqing shook his head and said, "How would I know about that? I guess it won't be less."

"Old Yan, I realize you're a little too concerned! How much money he pays is Yi Zhonghai's business. What does it have to do with you?"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually. Just asking casually."

He Daqing didn't want to continue to bother with this stingy old man. Who knew what he was up to next.

Then I pushed the bike home.

In the evening, before his family's meal was ready, Liu Guangtian came to their house.

"Uncle He, my dad asked you to come over for a drink."

He Daqing nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After Liu Guangtian left, Chen Xueru came over and asked, "Why would Liu Haizhong invite you to drink for no reason?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "Liu Haizhong passed the seventh-level worker exam today, and will earn more than 80 yuan a month in the future. And Yi Zhonghai was injured this time, so he is happy."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yi Zhonghai is injured, but you guys are celebrating happily. I think you are just gloating over his misfortune."

At this time, Sha Zhu also came out with the dishes. He said, "Mom, I don't know whether my dad is gloating over other people's misfortunes or not, but I feel relieved anyway."

Chen Xueru said unhappily, "Okay, you two can just talk about it at home. If you tell others about it, they will say that our family has no sympathy."

He Daqing took out two bottles of wine from the cabinet and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't talk nonsense when I go out. You guys eat, I'll go to Lao Liu's house for a few drinks."

Chen Xueru shouted at his back: "Drink less. If you are drunk, don't come back."

Sha Zhu persuaded her, "Mom, don't worry. My dad's drinking capacity is so high that even if Liu Haizhong's entire family were to drink, they wouldn't be his match."

Following Chen Xueru's instructions, He Daqing carried two bottles of wine and walked towards Liu Haizhong's house.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I met Xu Damao.

He saw He Daqing carrying two bottles of wine, and hurried over to ask, "Uncle He, what are you doing with the wine? Are you going to drink?"

He Daqing looked at Xu Damao. After the last incident, Xu Damao was very respectful to him. When they met, he greeted him from a distance, calling him Uncle He.

I wonder how he would react if he knew that he was the one who did what happened that night?

"Da Mao, when did you come back? I went to Lao Liu's house to have a drink. Lao Liu passed the seventh-level worker exam today. He asked us to celebrate."

Xu Damao said happily, "Uncle He, I just came back this afternoon. How can I be left out of this great event of Second Master's promotion?"

"Uncle He, wait a minute. I'll add another dish, and we'll go over together."

After saying that, he ran into the house and shouted for Qin Huairu to cut sausages for him.

He Daqing thought about it and felt that it would be okay to bring Xu Damao with him. This kid didn't get along with Yi Zhonghai. Besides, he was good at talking, so the bar would be lively.

After a while, Xu Damao came over with a plate of sausages and a plate of peanuts.

Although there were not many slices of sausage, it was still difficult to prepare it now.

This also shows that Xu Damao is a generous and sensible child.

So He Daqing happily took Xu Damao to Liu Haizhong's house.

When she passed by the door of the deaf old lady in the backyard, she was cooking for herself. She also saw He Daqing and Xu Damao.

I saw that they were carrying wine and dishes.

The deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh.

Since He Daqing's return, Yi Zhonghai's status in Siheyuan has been declining.

By now, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and others were already fighting fiercely with He Daqing. It was obvious that they were banding together.

Even Yan Bugui, a man who would not release his eagle until he saw the rabbit, followed He Daqing and his gang to eat and drink, and it seemed that he was also leaning towards that side.

After Yi Zhonghai was injured this time, his prestige will probably decline further. No one will listen to him then.

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady shook her head. Why did she choose Yi Zhonghai instead of He Daqing, who was a good stock?

Neither He Daqing nor Xu Damao paid any attention to the old deaf man who was half buried in the ground.

When they entered Liu Haizhong's house, they saw Yan Bugui already sitting there.

"Hey! Old Yan, you run really fast! The people from the middle and back yards of us haven't arrived yet. But you from the front yard have already arrived."

Facing He Daqing's teasing, Yan Bugui was not annoyed at all. As long as he could get a good meal, Yan Bugui felt that he had made a profit.

"I came earlier than you, Daqing! Look, the food is about to be served."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong came out with the dishes.

Liu Haizhong was very happy to see He Daqing carrying two bottles of wine.

This shows that He Daqing thinks highly of him. Unlike Yan Bugui, who is stingy, he comes with a big mouth.

"Da Qing is here! Come and sit down. It's enough for you to come. Why do you need to bring wine? I have already prepared the wine."

He Daqing smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll have a few more drinks later."

"Old Liu, I just got to know Da Mao. This kid heard that you passed the seventh-level worker exam and was so happy that he wanted to come and celebrate with you. I thought we could all get together just for the fun, so I brought him along."

"Look, Damao is quite particular. He brought all the sausages he got with great difficulty. His family couldn't bear to eat them themselves. What do you think? This kid is great!"

Xu Damao also said, "Second Uncle, congratulations! From now on, you will be the highest-ranking worker in our hospital."

Xu Damao's words made Liu Haizhong extremely satisfied.

He laughed and said, "Okay, I've always thought Damao has a promising future. Now that he's married, he's even more sensible. Hurry up and sit down!"

Xu Damao didn’t mind what he said before.

But when he heard about getting married, Xu Damao felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Which young man would be willing to marry a widow with three children? This was a deep thorn in his heart.

But in today's situation, Liu Haizhong just said it casually. Xu Damao would not care.

So everyone sat down happily.

Of course, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and Liu Haizhong's wife were not eligible to sit at the table. They ate in the kitchen.
