Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Chapter 37 Return to the city, test

When Ye Wenwu returned to his uncle's newly moved home, he was almost blown away by the noise.

He acted like a hero today. As soon as people saw Ye Wenwu, they immediately said that he was a pig-hunting hero. Although he looked thin and weak, he had very sharp eyes. Even the experienced hunter Zhang Xingbang in the village didn't find the prey, but Ye Wenwu knocked the wild boar to the ground with just one shot.

If this wild boar had not acted alone, Ye Wenwu might have been wiped out.

This sentence made Ye Wenwu's face turn red. He was very clear about his own strength. At first, he explained modestly that he had to shoot several times before he succeeded in killing the dead mouse.

In the end, I was too lazy to explain because these people simply didn't listen to my explanation and even thought I was being modest.

As for the wild boar, it had been brought to the village by the Third Master and his men. Of course, the fattest and tastiest parts were given to Ye Wenwu, so Ye Wenwu didn't have to worry about it.

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Ye Wenwu frowned, but it was already good, it was better to have a place than to have no place.

Once the house is built, you can move into your new home.

By noon, everyone had a delicious wild boar feast at home, and of course, most of the village cadres were invited to join in the meal.

Originally, the eldest and second uncles wanted to let Ye Wenwu take the remaining wild boar meat back, but Ye Wenwu couldn't stand the smell of the wild boar, so it was made into a wild boar banquet.

As for the remaining meat, he gave it to his eldest and second uncles. He didn't care about the food, but his eldest and second uncles had a family to support. When he saw that the children were all so skinny, it was obvious that they lacked oil and water.

Now that my family is well fed, I am not starving, so I am not greedy for the wild boar meat in front of me.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and Ye Wenwu proposed the idea of ​​going back to his uncles.

However, my eldest and second uncles still wanted Ye Wenwu to stay here for a few more days. After all, he was alone and had to cook for himself, which was very troublesome.

Ye Wenwu wanted to stay here to eat, but he was still a little worried about Hongxing Courtyard. He was afraid that if he didn't come back for a long time, he would not be able to find out if something was missing from his house.

As for the work target, he also discussed it with his eldest uncle and second uncle's family, because there was only one work target, which was difficult to distribute.

Ye Wenwu would not come up with two work targets. Even if he wanted to, his two uncles would definitely not accept them.

In the end, this work quota was given to his married cousin Zhang Xingbang, who accompanied him hunting in the mountains.

Ye Wenwu also promised that after he entered the factory, he would have the opportunity to give his suggestions to the leadership and see if he could come up with another work target for his second uncle and his family.

However, my second uncle did not agree. The first reason was that my eldest uncle's family had two sons to raise, while my own family only had two daughters who would eventually get married, so there was no pressure.

But my uncle disagreed, saying that once Xingbang went out to work and earned money, he would ask Xingbang to pay half of the money for another work target.

Ye Wenwu did not say anything. He had seen the Red Star Courtyard in his previous life. As long as Deputy Director Li of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill could persuade this person, anything that could be done with money would be no problem for the deputy director.

After all, such a large factory recruits some people every year, sometimes they are temporary workers, sometimes they are apprentices. As long as people are put in, there will always be a chance for them to become regular employees.

Ye Wenwu did not tell these to his uncle. Even if he did, they would not be able to come up with so much money. The key point was that he had not yet entered the factory and had not yet found a way to connect with Deputy Director Li, so he was not in a hurry to tell them.

Originally, Ye Wenwu should have hung a lot of bags in the car when he went back, but he didn't want any because the conditions at his two uncles' homes were not very good.

When he went back, his cousin Zhang Xingbang and his wife came with him. After all, another work indicator was given to Zhang Xingbang. Zhangjiazhuang is 30 kilometers away from the city, and it is very difficult to go to and from get off work every day. Ye Wenwu suggested that his cousin and his wife live with him first, and they can find a place to rent when they have time.

Along the way, his cousin was like a monk chanting sutras, constantly asking Ye Wenwu what the city was like. Ye Wenwu would never tell him that he had just traveled through time and had only been around for two days.

We arrived at Hongxing Siheyuan when everyone was off work.

Seeing that the third uncle Yan Bugui across the door had also returned from get off work early, he hurriedly pushed his bicycle over. There was five taels of wild boar meat hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle. This was the only thing Ye Wenwu took with him when he left.

Although my family borrowed the bicycle from the third uncle Yan Bugui's house and paid a huge sum of 5 yuan, some people may say that the third uncle Yan Bugui is a greedy person, but the fact that he can lend you the bicycle so confidently means that he still trusts you.

If you give these five taels of wild boar meat to the Jia family, you may not even get a word of praise, and the other party may even complain that you gave too little. But it will be different if you give it to the third uncle Yan Bugui. Although the third uncle Yan Bugui is a petty-minded person, he will remember your kindness in his heart.

Ye Wenwu didn't want to have any dealings with the people in the compound, but he didn't want to be alone either. It would be better to have someone to help him, even though this person was not very reliable. After all, great men have said that we should make more friends and fewer enemies.

"Uncle, are you still taking care of your flowers? I'm going to return the car to you. Please check if there is any damage to it. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge it after I leave."

Looking at the third uncle Yan Bugui who was watering the flowers at the door, Ye Wenwu parked the car aside and said.

"Hey, Wenwu, you're back. Didn't you say you'd be back in 5 days? Why are you back on the 3rd day today? I told you I'd lend it to you for 5 days, and you had to return it on the 3rd day. I won't refund a penny."

Looking at his car aside, Uncle Yan Bugui was not in a hurry to check it. He was more afraid that since he had only paid 5 yuan for the car in three days, Ye Wenwu would ask for another two yuan. So he spoke hurriedly, fearing that Ye Wenwu's next sentence would be this, and he wanted to stop him from talking.

"Uncle, you look down on me, Ye Wenwu, so much. I thought I would give you 5 yuan just because I said so. But it took less than 5 days for this to happen. It's my fault, Ye Wenwu. It's not your uncle's fault. Your dad should be 5% relieved. Check the car first. I've made a promise. If there's a problem with the car after I'm gone, I, Ye Wenwu, will definitely not take responsibility."

"You are a man of the 49th city. Your uncle apologized to you here. Since Ye Wenwu is so heartless, I, Yan Bugui, am also a straightforward person. I don't need to check. I believe in you, Ye Wenwu."

The third uncle Yan Bugui also quickly gave Ye Wenwu a thumbs up, but his little eyes kept looking at his bicycle.

"Uncle, I think you should check it out, otherwise I'll be worried."

Ye Wenwu knew that he was saying one thing and thinking another. In order to save face, he said with a wry smile and pulled the third uncle Yan Bugui to the front of the car.

The third uncle Yan Bugui could only look at the car obediently. Of course, he saw the meat hanging on the faucet at first sight, but he thought that Ye Wenwu bought it to eat at home, and he had already taken a big advantage in the previous incident, so he couldn't bring himself to ask for it.

"Wenwu, it's okay, the car is fine."

Hearing the words of the third uncle Yan Bugui, Ye Wenwu also nodded.

"Uncle, since you have seen it, I will go back now."
