Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

No one noticed tonight that the second uncle in the courtyard condescended to go to Xu Damao's house and invite Xu Damao to dinner. Xu Damao was the kind of person who would definitely go if invited. Moreover, they lived in the backyard, so he saw him every day. He was also a well-known person and brought a bottle of wine.

Liu Haizhong and his son invited Xu Damao to sit at the top seat, but Xu Damao refused disrespectfully, knowing what the two men wanted to do. Liu Guangtian opened the wine and filled everyone's glasses. He had invested a lot of money today, so there were four dishes and a soup on the table, with meat and eggs, and the wine he had prepared was Erguotou.

The three of them drank two rounds, and Xu Damao covered the cup and said to Liu Haizhong: "Second uncle, if you have something to say, just tell me. Keep drinking like this, I'll be there soon."

Xu Damao was well-known for his drinking. He drank with three boys, one adult and three children, and he got drunk in one round. Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangtian were both in the factory, so of course they knew about it.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Okay, Team Leader Xu is straightforward, I won't hide anything anymore. Come, drink slowly and eat some food first."

After that, he picked up an egg with chopsticks for Xu Damao, who then picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Liu Haizhong continued, "Team Leader Xu, you know that my biggest wish is to become an official. I invited you here today because we are all neighbors, so you can help me."

"Second uncle, look, I am still just a team leader. How can I help you? Why don't you go and find Deputy Director Jiang Fengjiang in the front yard? With just one word from him, you can become a team leader."

"Team Leader Xu, don't be so modest. We have heard in the factory recently that Director Li thinks highly of you and has even said that you will be the next deputy director." Liu Guangtian said flatteringly.

Liu Haizhong also nodded and continued, "Team Leader Xu, I think it won't be long before you have to call me Director Xu. Don't worry, as long as you help Second Uncle this time, everyone in the factory will follow your lead. Second Uncle will always stand behind you and support you."

Xu Damao fell into deep thought. Now in the factory, he only had a few people following him. The other team leaders were rather jealous of him. He had been in the limelight recently. If he could pull the Second Uncle up and let him stand beside him, they would be an offensive and defensive alliance. However, being a team leader was not easy.

Xu Damao got the position thanks to his many years of connections and a yellow croaker he bought on the black market. The second uncle always had to pay something.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangtian, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then tapped the table. Liu Guangtian hurried forward to pour the wine.

Xu Damao said drunkenly, "Second Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you. If you want to get promoted, you need connections. You don't know how many times I've drunk just by accompanying the leader. And even so, you still want..."

Before Xu Damao finished speaking, he stretched out his thumb and index and middle fingers and rubbed them together. The two of them understood and nodded repeatedly. Everyone in the factory knew about the drinking, but the two of them didn't know about the gift-giving. Well, if he hadn't been invited to dinner tonight, who would go out and say it?

The two knew that since Xu Damao had said so, they were inexplicably excited. If he didn't want to help, he definitely wouldn't have said it. Liu Haizhong leaned over and whispered, "Da Mao, give Second Uncle a definite answer. How much do you want to prepare?"

Xu Damao held up two fingers and said, "At least with this number, it's no problem to be a team leader."

Liu Haizhong was indeed very persistent in being an official, and he knew that it was definitely not 200 yuan, so he asked in a low voice: "Two, isn't that a bit too much? Is that so much for a team leader?"

"Second uncle, you don't know this, right? How many people want to get promoted but don't have the chance? Even if you have these things, do you think you can give them away without someone introducing you?"

Liu Haizhong has a deep understanding of this. Over the years, if he had no connections, no one would have helped him. Liu Haizhong believes that he is no worse than Jiang Feng. At least he is a deputy director now, and maybe he has a chance to become the director. He is so mysteriously confident.

Of course, he understood what Xu Damao meant, but he was also thinking in his heart that a small one is almost 200 yuan on the black market now. He still has to thank Xu Damao, which is equivalent to three months' salary for both of him and his father. The price of yellow croaker has increased now, and many people are bringing them out, so it is normal for the price to increase.

Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangtian, nodded, and said, "Team Leader Xu, I still need your help with this matter. I will thank you after it is done." After saying that, he extended a slap.

Xu Damao looked at it and nodded. Fifty yuan was not a bad amount. Several people lowered their heads to discuss the matter. Liu Haizhong and his son went to prepare the things. When they were ready, they would notify Xu Damao. Xu Damao would also have to wait for the right opportunity. He would not just give the things away after getting them. He would have to give them when the leader was happy. This would be the icing on the cake and the job would be done.

Liu Haizhong and his son nodded repeatedly while listening. Xu Damao said, "Second uncle, this is only you. Otherwise, how can you do things first and then get the benefits? Don't kick me out after you get promoted."

"Team Leader Xu, don't worry about what I said. I will definitely give you what I promised you. Second Master has never given anyone anything less in all these years."

"That's right. We've been neighbors for decades, but I've never heard of him. This is the second uncle in the yard." Xu Damao said flatteringly, giving a thumbs up.

Liu Haizhong also smiled proudly. He is now considered the boss in the courtyard. This position has been vacant for so many years and everyone has gotten used to it. The second uncle is the boss, and with so many years of reputation, he has never lacked anything for others.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Liu Haizhong began to persuade people to drink. Liu Guangtian, on the side, also deliberately flattered him. There was nothing he could do now. Although Liu Haizhong beat him less often after he started working, he still beat him sometimes. However, even though he beat him, Liu Guangtian's work and arrangements after entering the factory were all taken care of by Liu Haizhong.

He is now a second-level worker in the factory, which is considered pretty good. His family has been urging them to get married recently. Liu Guangfu is the only one who is suffering now, but if the old man gets promoted this time, they will definitely help him.

The relationship between these two brothers in the family is pretty good. After work, the younger brother gives some money to the younger brother from time to time. If he can also get into the factory, his life will probably be much better in the future.

As the father and son urged him to drink, Xu Damao drank too much again. He not only drank the wine served to the guests, but also finished the wine he brought with him. Liu Guangtian was better. He called the second aunt and Guangfu out and put the old man to bed first. The second aunt cleaned up the house, and she and Guangfu sent Xu Damao back home.

The two men helped Xu Damao into the house, and told his sister-in-law to put some more water there in the evening, as drinking too much would make him thirsty at night, and then they went back to the house to rest.

Now Liu Guangtian has some say in the family. He can even say a few words when the old man beats Guangfu. Guangfu is very dependent on this brother.

The situation of the Yan family is not good now. Only Yan Jiecheng can be considered a formal worker. Yan Fugui sighs all the time. Every day at school, all he hears is students from a certain school arresting their teachers and criticizing and parading them. Now only the primary schools are better off.

Yan Jiecheng has now stood on his own at home. With a monthly salary of more than 40 yuan, although he still has to pay for food every month, the rest is enough for him and Yu Li to live on. Of course, the salary division that was previously agreed upon has been abandoned. Paying 15 yuan a month for food expenses for the two of them is more than enough.

As for the following ones, Jiefang, Jiekuang and Jiedi, Jiedi is the better one because he is young. Both Jiefang and Jiekuang have already stopped attending classes at school. However, they are still better in junior high school because no one asked for the teacher to be pulled down.

Jiang Feng didn't care about the affairs of the hospital. He took the food and went to the hospital in the evening. Only Jiang Shiyan and grandma were left at home. After dinner, he played with He Xiao and He Min for a while, and then they were sent back to sleep.

Jiang Feng stayed with me in the hospital today. I didn't sleep well all night. I had to get up from time to time to feed him. I went to work the next day with dark circles under my eyes. I bought some food nearby in the morning, but I didn't go there at noon because someone brought food to the hospital.

When he arrived at the factory, it was still the same as usual. He walked around during work. The technical staff under him also knew how to use it. All the machines were produced by the company. Jiang Feng would only be asked to help with some difficult and complicated problems. He would just look around and slack off every day just waiting to get off work.

The factory is still relatively normal now. In order to ensure production, workers cannot be organized to carry out movements. Moreover, most of the workers in the factory have families with children, so they still have to consider their family life issues. The ones who are causing the most trouble now are the students and some young people who have nothing to do.

Jiang Feng did not go out at night because his wife gave birth these days. Relying on the convenience of the space, he would go out for a stroll from time to time at night from the end of last year to now.

The space was fully open along the way, and basically no one noticed him. He walked through all the streets and alleys, but he used the space to collect a lot of things, which can be regarded as a contribution to ancient culture;

Too many cultural relics were destroyed during this period. There were at least tens of thousands of them in the space. Jiang Feng didn't understand much about them, so he packed them up using the wooden frames and boxes he had collected. These boxes and frames were made of precious wood.

The items collected included paintings and calligraphy, porcelain, hand-held items, and ornaments. In Jiang Feng's opinion, they were all good things, but they could not be eaten or drunk. Gold and silver were only collected twice, probably because they were not transported away in time. However, they have not been seen since then, and they must have been lost twice, and the people above also noticed it.

These two times alone opened Jiang Feng's eyes. Big and small fish were packed separately, all in boxes, with dozens of fish in one box. There were also jewelry, mostly gold and silver jewelry, some of which were stained with blood, which must have been snatched away from the people.

Jiang Feng just shook his head when he looked at these things. This was only a part of it. He didn't know how much had been sent up. Too many cultural treasures had been destroyed. He could only cheer himself up, sleep less at night, work more, and do his part to protect China's cultural relics.
