The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

Because of an emergency at the Public Security Bureau, He Pingan got off work a little late. When he got home, he saw Liu Haizhong chatting awkwardly with his elder brother. Of course, the "old actor", Liu Haizhong's jar of old wine, was still on the table.

Seeing He Ping'an coming in, Liu Haizhong quickly stood up and said flatteringly, "Director He!"

"Liu Haizhong, if you don't want to drink that old wine, you can give it to your neighbors to taste. Don't always bring it to my house. I have no shortage of good wine! Besides, I can't afford your wine!" He Ping'an looked at the embarrassed Liu Haizhong and knew that he had something to ask for help again.

"Director He, you have to work so hard to get home so late. I am just an ordinary citizen and I don't have anything good to offer. I only have this jar of old wine, which I would like to give to you to relieve your fatigue and to show my respect!" Facing He Ping'an's squeeze, Liu Haizhong was not annoyed, but the smile on his face was somewhat awkward.

"Of course, Liu Haizhong! I haven't seen you for a while, and you've grown so much. 'A small token of respect', do you know what a small token of respect means?" He Ping'an really didn't expect that Liu Haizhong, who only studied until junior high school, would actually become so good at writing.

"The factory is calling on everyone to go to night school! I studied there for a few days, which can be regarded as keeping up with the times." Liu Haizhong's attitude was still flattering.

"Shut up! The night school has been open for such a long time. If you had this awareness, you wouldn't have started studying now. These few words of yours clearly carry the poor flavor of Yan Bugui. You are fooling fools here! Okay, I'm tired after a busy day. I don't feel like playing tricks on you. You know my temper. No matter what you want from me, I won't agree. Take your wine and leave!"

He Ping'an really wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Liu Haizhong. To be precise, ever since the incident with He Yuzhu's brother and sister, He Ping'an didn't want to pay attention to anyone in the Siheyuan.

"Director He, I know I have done something wrong to the He family before. I apologize and am willing to compensate! This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it." Liu Haizhong saw that He Ping'an didn't even ask what happened and sent him away. He hurriedly took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it in front of He Ping'an.

"Oh, Liu Haizhong has grown up! I have enough wine, but do I lack money? For the sake of our neighbors, take your things and get out of here. Otherwise, I will send you to jail for corrupting state officials!" Although He Ping'an still had a smile on his face, the look he gave Liu Haizhong became increasingly cold.

"Director He, I am just simply expressing my apologies to you!" Liu Haizhong did not expect to be caught for giving gifts, and was immediately frightened and at a loss what to do.

"Ping'an, Lao Liu is our old neighbor for more than ten years, so don't scare him! Lao Liu, put your things away quickly, my family has no shortage of money or wine. As for why you came here today, we are not interested. Lao Liu, Ping'an is back, and our family still has to eat dinner, what do you think..." He Daqing was not being kind-hearted, he just wanted to eat earlier and then "rest" earlier.

Liu Haizhong was threatened by He Pingan and wanted to give up. But when he thought of his "old treasure", he knelt down in front of the He brothers and cried.

"Brother Ping An, I, Old Liu, really have no other choice this time, so I have to ask you for help. I hope you can help me because we have been neighbors for more than ten years. Otherwise, my family will fall apart!"

"Old Liu, what are you doing? If you have something to say, get up and tell me!" He Daqing and Liu Haizhong have known each other for more than ten years, so he naturally couldn't just let Liu Haizhong kneel there.

"If you have something to say, just say it. This is useless. Qin Huairu also knelt before. Go ask her. I don't care about her business!" He Pingan cursed inwardly and wanted to drive him away. But Liu Haizhong was not Qin Huairu. If he insisted on kneeling, he had no other choice.

"Brother Ping An, this is what happened..." Liu Haizhong knew that the He brothers were all shrewd people, and they would understand his plan as soon as they heard it. He did not dare to hide it and told them everything he thought.

"Old Liu, you..." After hearing this, He Daqing suddenly lost the mood to pay attention to Liu Haizhong.

"Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong! I was right in praising you just now. You have indeed made great progress. Why are you not satisfied with the small fights before and are you ready to do something big this time? Do you know that your behavior is considered embezzlement of state-owned assets and you will be shot!"

Liu Haizhong's "wonderful idea" did shock He Pingan, but it was far from a matter of execution. Besides, the state also strongly advocated the buyout of public housing. (The buyout of public housing was something that happened after the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, so I'll mention it in advance here)

As for why He Pingan threatened Liu Haizhong like this, it was because he was prepared to "help" him. The main families that had offended his family in the past: the Yi family, the deaf old lady, the Jia family, were all punished, as well as Yan Bugui, who always had the lowest wage. Only Liu Haizhong was left, and he had not yet enjoyed the "care" of his good neighbor. Now that he had come to his door voluntarily, He Pingan really couldn't think of a reason to let him go.

"Ping An, if you don't agree, just say so. Stop scaring Old Liu!" He Daqing, who received a hint from his brother, spoke up to support Liu Haizhong.

"Brother Daqing, we have known each other for more than ten years, you know my temper. I, Old Liu, have never knelt down to beg anyone, but this time I really have no choice! My Guangqi is my lifeblood, please help me beg Brother Ping'an!" Liu Haizhong saw that He Daqing's attitude had softened, and quickly started the "passionate performance"

When He Daqing heard what Liu Haizhong said, he felt disgusted: "You have never knelt before? Who kowtowed to the Japanese? Who kowtowed to the gangsters?"

But since his brothers wanted to do something, there was no reason for him, as the eldest brother, to sabotage them. He could only say to He Pingan helplessly:

"Ping An, it's just two rooms, why is it so serious? Besides, after Guang Qi graduates, the organization will definitely allocate him a room. Old Liu doesn't want to cause trouble for the country and is willing to buy it with his own money. It's fine if you don't praise him, but why can you punish Old Liu?"

"Brother, if you don't understand, why don't you just stop making trouble? Our government officials have to follow discipline when doing things, and we can't let our emotions get in the way! If Guangqi had paid directly to buy the house allocated to him by the organization, he would naturally have received a reward. But in Liu Haizhong's case, it's a crime!" He Ping'an angrily scolded He Daqing

"I don't think it makes any difference. Since we're buying a house, we should pick a good one! And everyone in our courtyard knows how important his eldest son is to Old Liu. We're neighbors, and we can't just watch the whole family break up. Let's think of a way to help him!" He Daqing seemed not to notice He Ping'an's "anger" and continued to persuade him with "earnest words".

"Get up, why are you still kneeling there? I can't stand it!" He Pingan saw his elder brother's "determined" attitude, shook his head helplessly, glanced at Liu Haizhong who was still kneeling on the ground, and said unhappily

"Thank you, brother Daqing, thank you, brother Ping'an!" Liu Haizhong knew that He Ping'an agreed to help, and hurriedly stood up to thank him.
