Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"Uh huh." Yi Zhonghai answered casually, but he felt a little unhappy about Liu Dezhong's promotion.

"What are you doing out here! Go back to the house and look after the kids!" Jia Dongfeng looked at Qin Huairu with dissatisfaction as she walked out of the house, and immediately drove her back, because Zhuzi always kept a close eye on Qin Huairu whenever he had the chance. A husband knows his wife's figure very well, so it's natural for him to be concerned about her.

Sometimes this guy was so bold as to stare at him right in front of him. If he had the upper hand in the fight, he would have taught that stupid Zhuzi a lesson long ago. What was even more infuriating was that the woman actually turned a blind eye to it and was willing to let Zhuzi stare at her like that!

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard, Xu Damao had secretly surrendered to Liu Dezhong.

Xu Damao, who was smart and quick-witted, realized that Liu Dezhong was valued by the top management of the Red Star Steel Plant, so he followed him. Even though he couldn't eat too much, a bowl of porridge was more than enough for him.

"Team Leader Liu, I think you will be promoted soon after you come back, right?" Xu Damao asked tentatively.

"Indeed, Director Li said last time that he would promote me first when the opportunity arises." Liu Dezhong was very satisfied with this.

"Then I wish Director Liu a promotion." Xu Damao began to flatter...

Mr. Chen heard their conversation from afar and felt more and more disgusted.

"You're back from get off work, Mr. Chen." Xu Damao noticed Mr. Chen's return and took the initiative to greet him.

"It's cold, why is the team leader still outside?" Mr. Chen asked with deliberate concern.

"The team leader was just about to go to the toilet, so I followed him." Xu Damao explained quickly.

"No, Team Leader Liu is the head of the family and is about to be promoted to workshop director. How can he do it himself? It's ridiculous!" Mr. Chen immediately put on a serious face and said.

For a moment, Liu Dezhong and Xu Damao were stunned.

"Stop messing around and go away." Liu Dezhong was amused by Chen Sheng's words and no longer took his teasing seriously.

On the way home, Chen calmed himself down and carried a small stool to the central courtyard.

"The first thing to do at today's meeting is the street office's praise for Comrade Liu Dezhong. Now, please allow the street director to speak." Secretary Wu reminded everyone.

In view of Liu Haiyang's heroic behavior, the community decided to commend him. "Mr. Chen checked his ears and found that these were all rewards of financial nature. Considering the period of material shortage, this treatment was quite good.

"Secondly, based on the good performance of community members this year and Comrade Liu Haiyang's personal heroic actions, our street has won honor. Therefore, after discussion, our No. 95 Nanluoguxiang was named the civilized courtyard of this year!" Director Wu continued.

Thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the courtyard, and Liu Haiyang's heart was filled with pride, thinking that the good reputation of the entire civilized courtyard was all due to him.

"Finally, due to the performance of Comrade Liu Haiyang, the community decided to restore his identity as 'Second Master' individually. We look forward to Second Master being able to better serve our community in the future!" Director Wu announced the last notice.

Originally, this matter was not included in the agenda, but when the director visited, he found that the reward was a bit thin, so he asked about Liu Haiyang's situation and learned that he was passionate about his job, so he decided to bring up the role of "Second Master" again.

"Wow!"

Liu Haiyang was so excited that he stood up, but it seemed that his injury was affected and he fell back down.

In the courtyard at this moment, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui were both stunned: Is it possible that there is no master in this courtyard, only a second master?

The mere title of "Second Master" was better than Yi Zhonghai's former position as "First Master". As long as this Second Master was appeased, he would not cause any trouble. He had no greed for money and grain, and a few words of flattery were enough to make him happy and completely forget his own name.

"Finally, on behalf of the community, I would like to wish you all a happy new year in advance!" Director Wu said, and then left the Intermediate Court with the director.

"Okay, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to me, the familiar 'Second Master'.

Now I declare it over," Erye, who returned to the stage, was already familiar with this kind of scene and handled it with ease.

It was Xu Damao who pushed Liu Haiyang's wheelchair. When they said goodbye, Xu Damao took the initiative to congratulate him and said, "Congratulations on your restoration. From now on, you will be the supreme authority in our hospital."

"It's rare that you are so sensible! If there are any problems in the backyard, just ask me to solve them," Liu Haiyang said with satisfaction.

Liu Guangming and his brother Liu Guanghui also came over to congratulate, "Congratulations Captain Liu for being respected again." They were also used to this and handled it with ease.

"From now on, please call me 'Second Master'!" Liu Haiyang ordered.

Liu Guangming and Liu Guanghui looked at each other and thought, "Forget it, since the Second Master is willing, let him do it. We don't have any parents to rely on anyway."

Now the two brothers don’t care about the title, they are satisfied as long as they can avoid fighting.

It is quite interesting to look at Mr. Chen. At first he was called "Team Leader Liu", but now it is not acceptable to call him "Second Master". It is much simpler to change it to "Team Leader Liu Second Master".

"Cough...cough..." As soon as he stepped into the office, Mr. Chen noticed that three colleagues were coughing non-stop.

"What's going on? They all fell ill after a day's rest?" asked Mr. Chen.

Li Caicai blew his nose and replied, "I don't know what happened, I caught a cold for no apparent reason."

Li Yuanyuan echoed. “I feel the same way.”

Mr. Chen immediately realized that they were suffering from the symptoms of influenza!

"Why don't you three go home and recuperate? It won't help much to drag your body along like this. Go home and rest, take some medicine, and you'll be well in two days," he suggested.

Chapter 71: Matchmaking

"No, no, you two should not stay.

Li Wanwan, you guys go back first. "Li Caimai insisted on not letting them stay.

The two people who didn't care much at first began to feel troubled, packed up their things and left.

"This disease is really torturous." Li Caimai kept complaining.

"Don't say anything. I'll go get you some medicine and heat it up for you in the cafeteria later." Chen Cheng became the one who gave advice.

"Hurry up, the medicine is really waiting for you to come back soon." Li Caimai urged anxiously.

Mr. Chen and Li Cai exchanged a few words while buying things, then handed over the hot water and left the office. They walked to the alley outside, found a quiet corner, and entered their own space to prepare the medicine.

Chapter 68: Become a Guarantee

After preparing the medicine, Mr. Chen took it to the cafeteria.

"Master, can I borrow a pot to help my colleague boil medicine?" he asked.

"Find it yourself." The guy in the cafeteria was pretty good except for his poor cooking skills. At least he allowed me to use his pots and pans.

"Thanks."

After boiling for a while, Chen Shengsheng drank a bowl first as a precaution. He knew very well that although his physical fitness had surpassed that of ordinary people due to his frequent consumption of food and water from the mysterious space, he was not yet strong enough to resist the influenza, so he had to be more careful.

Then he brought another bowl to Li Caimai.

After everything was done, Mr. Chen explained to the canteen staff: "Master, I put the medicine here, and someone else will come to get it.

Thank you for your hard work!" Then he put it aside.

“No problem, just put it here,” the chef replied.

"You're finally back. I was worried that you got lost outside!" Li Cai couldn't wait to say when he saw him come back.

"It takes some time to decoct the medicine. Drink it while it's hot so that it will be more effective." Mr. Chen put the prepared medicine on Li Caimai's table.

"Gurgling..."

After drinking the medicine, Li Caimai exclaimed: "It's really hot."

"Medicine only works when it is hot. Look how careful I am!" Mr. Chen explained.

"Oh, this disease is really uncomfortable." Li Caimai slumped down in the chair, sighed heavily, and looked quite tired.

“I left my medicine in the cafeteria, so I remembered to heat it up for lunch and take it home in the evening to continue taking it.

You should be able to recover in two days." Mr. Chen reminded Li Caimai.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, you are so thoughtful and considerate." Li Caimai was very grateful.

"Let's not be too polite between us," Mr. Chen said lightly, and noticed that many of his colleagues had fallen ill.

However, he had no intention of showing off his medical skills everywhere. After all, everyone knew the limits and that serious illnesses should be treated in the hospital.

He took the initiative to boil medicine for Li Caimai simply because of their deep friendship and the fact that they had worked together for many years. The atmosphere in the office was a bit monotonous when Li Caimai was not around.

Moreover, Mr. Chen is often lazy and not in the store, so it is thanks to Li Caimai's help that he can work smoothly.

When getting off work, Mr. Chen wanted to go directly back to the dormitory compound, but when he thought about the serious flu situation, he decided to go home to see if it was safe.

So he bought the herbs, prepared them in his personal space before returning home, and prepared them to take home for his family.

"Mom, I'm back!" Chen Sheng shouted loudly.

"Oh, Sheng'er is back, your mother..." Father Chen was speaking halfway when he couldn't help interrupting Chen Sheng's impatient father.

"Dad, how is Mom?" Mr. Chen asked anxiously.

"Mom has caught a cold and is lying in bed now," my father answered with a serious but concerned expression.

Chen Shengsheng's heartstrings immediately relaxed, and he hurried into the house, only to see his mother lying on the bed. He immediately asked, "Mom, how do you feel? Have you taken the medicine?"

"Well, I'm fine, just a little tired. I didn't take any medicine and plan to endure it." The mother responded with a smile.

"This flu is not simple. I brought the medicine back and prepared to give it to everyone for prevention." Chen Shengsheng came up with a family plan.

Hearing this, the mother was filled with joy: "My son has really grown up. Your efforts in learning medicine have finally come in handy."

"Dad, where are grandpa and grandma? Is my eldest brother sick?" Then Mr. Chen asked about the health of his grandparents and brother and sister-in-law with concern.

After dinner, everyone went to rest. Your eldest brother seemed to have some cold symptoms due to the cool wind, Dad told us.

"Then I feel relieved. I will make some medicine together and we can all take it to ward off the cold." Mr. Chen was quite happy because he knew that his grandmother was old and would recover more slowly.

So he followed his father to prepare the medicine.
