The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Liu Guangqi is not opposed to finding a partner. He is not young anymore and wants a woman. He also feels that he has good conditions, so the partner he finds cannot be too bad. "My mother has to arrange the blind date on the weekend or she will not be available. The conditions are as my father said."

Liu Haizhong took a sip of his wine and asked in disbelief. "By the way, Guangqi, I heard that Chang Wei is your factory director?"

"Yes! The factory broadcast an announcement today." Liu Guangqi knew that his father wanted to become an official. Not only did he know it, but everyone knew it.

"It's true. This official is quite high." Liu Haizhong's tone was full of envy.

He had always wanted to be an official, but he never had the chance. Fortunately, his eldest son was promising. According to his understanding, the Shengli Canning Factory should be at the same level as the Steel Rolling Mill, that is, at the department level.

The second aunt said dreamily. "I don't know where Chang Wei went to learn what, but after only two years he came back and transformed himself from an eighth-level worker to a factory manager. If Guangqi also went to learn, then..."

Liu Guangqi interrupted her and said, "Mom, it's not as simple as you think. Do you think anyone can become a factory manager after studying for two years? Even if college students study for many more years than I do, they will still be at my current level after graduation."

If you ask me, he has been an official for a long time, but he just keeps a low profile. "

What he said was just his guess, but it should be pretty close.

The second aunt suddenly exclaimed when she suddenly remembered something. "Yes, I remember it now."

Liu Haizhong looked at her and asked, "What did you remember? You look so surprised."

The second aunt said quickly. "It was the day when Chang's butcher shop just opened. Jia Zhang bought a lot of meat but didn't win the prize. Remember?

During this time, a team of police officers came and said that someone had reported that Chang's butcher shop was cheating people with a lottery. As a result, Chang Wei went down to talk to the leading police officer, and the person who reported it was arrested instead. "

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth in surprise. "Is there such a thing?"

Liu Guangqi confirmed what he thought. "Mom and Dad, do you think I was right?"

Then he recounted what he had seen and heard in the afternoon, except that he had omitted some parts as he had agreed with Jia Dongxu.

"You know what I saw this afternoon? What my mother said was simple.

The police officers in charge saluted respectfully when they saw Chang Wei. He was equipped with a gun and could catch spies.

The police didn't dare to rush in and waited for backup. When Chang Wei arrived... he went in alone... and it only took a few minutes to get out. He killed four of the five spies and left one alive..."

The whole family was stunned with shock; this was too beyond their imagination.

The second aunt suddenly said excitedly, "So, you, the eldest son, are also involved." She thought that if her son participated, he would definitely be praised.

Liu Guangqi answered truthfully. "Well, they were trying to help me and asked me and Jia Dongxu to cooperate with them. It doesn't matter whether we are there or not."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "Chang Wei is a really good person. He didn't take any benefits from transferring you to another factory. This time he is willing to help you. It will be easier for you to get promoted in the future.

At least we should take time to treat them to a meal, otherwise it would seem that our family is too unrefined."

After saying this, he quickly gave another reminder.

"Guangqi, you have to work hard for this opportunity."

He had originally planned that when Chang Wei came back, the second brother Guangqi would follow the same path as Yan Jiecheng and enter the canning factory. Now that the eldest brother had suddenly helped him, it was difficult for him to ask for help for the time being, but he had to remember this favor and not only treat him to a meal, but also give him a gift.

There are clearly five people in this family, but it feels like there are only three of them. The brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu listened and watched silently.

……

Xu family.

Only the father and son were there. Wu Yanzhi took her daughter Xu Ling back to the village to visit the old man and the old lady.

Xu Damao put the food on the table and said to Xu Fugui, "Dad, shall we go back to the countryside tomorrow?"

Xu Fugui paused while pouring the wine. "Don't you want to go back?"

Xu Damao protested in his heart, "Do you think I want to go back?" "I'll go back and catch those two big geese."

Xu Fugui hit him on the hand with a chopstick, glaring at him and saying, "You bastard, that's something your grandparents raised secretly with great difficulty, don't even think about it."

Now in the countryside the people’s communes have started to eat from the same pot. After the price difference is made up, everything belongs to the collective, so we can only raise it secretly.

Xu Damao rubbed his hands in pain. "Dad, I'm not going to eat it myself, I'm giving it to Chang Wei. He's already the factory director, and we're from the same hospital, so I have to show some respect."

"Even if you give it to them, they can't accept it. You just became the factory director and there are a lot of things you need to pay attention to." Xu Fugui also heard about it.

He sighed in his heart that Chang Wei was really capable. Having been among the leaders of the steel rolling mill for so many years, he must know some of the ins and outs there.

Xu Damao had expected this and said rudely, "Dad, have you forgotten that you have another girl? Once you give something to her, you will never take it back.

As long as she occasionally speaks well of me, I will soon be the deputy director of the Propaganda Department."

Xu Fugui hit him with another chopstick, staring at him and saying, "How can you talk like that? She's your sister, she's close to Yu Shui, so what's wrong with going to visit her?"

In fact, he was also worried. As their daughter grew older, they gradually realized that this girl had a simple purpose and simply wanted to be Chang Wei's young wife. But after getting married, he still treated her like a child and a little sister. Isn't this just one-sided?

Besides, other people's girls only turned outward after they grew up and got married, but my daughter turned outward from the moment she entered the Chang family.

Xu Damao curled his lips. His sister was so shameless that she went to Chang's house every day to eat and drink for free. "Yes, yes, Dad, give her the two bottles of good wine you collected. You can't just give her the goose."

Xu Fugui smiled bitterly. "Where is the wine? Your sister moved away a long time ago."

He almost didn't dare to bring cigarettes and alcohol home. He would disappear within three days after returning home. When asked by his daughter, she replied that she had put them away and saved them for her brother Awei to smoke and drink when he came back.

But his daughter was also filial, and she would often bring back some rare canned meat or something from the Chang family to honor him...

Xu Damao felt his head buzzing, and he grumbled through gritted teeth, "This Xu Ling is such a waste."

The other families in the courtyard would also talk about it, but they didn't really care much about it. They just lived in the same courtyard after all, and having a factory director would give them more things to talk about. Some people also had the same idea as Yan Bugui, and they felt that they could benefit from it.

If you encounter a small matter, and people know that your neighbor is the director of the Victory Cannery, you have to think more about it.

Neighbors have different levels of depth. There are neighbors who don’t talk, ordinary neighbors, and even distant relatives who are not as good as close neighbors. It all depends on other people’s imagination.
