"Yes, yes, and mine, a total of one dollar and a half." "Mine is one dollar."

"Mine is eighty cents... give it back to me now."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale, and he wanted to slam the table out of habit. Then he realized that there was nothing in front of him. He could only say angrily: "The money was used to buy melon seeds and peanuts during the meeting."

"Why are you still asking for money?"

Xu Damao snorted coldly and said, "Those melon seeds and peanuts are for you to eat. I didn't eat them, so why can't I ask for money?"

Every time there was a meeting, some sunflower seeds and peanuts would be placed on the table. It seemed that this had become the privilege of the three uncles. Even during the three-year disaster, they never stopped having them. Of course, they were bought from the pigeon market.

Every time they had a meeting, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, one to satisfy his desire to be an official and the other to plan for retirement, never went to eat melon seeds and peanuts.

Only Yan Bugui kept eating sunflower seeds, and finally put the remaining ones into his pocket.

"Xu Damao, you don't need those ten dollars. Why are you being so serious about it?"

Sha Zhu stood up and said, "Listen to me, let it go. I won't punish you in the future..."

Xu Damao smiled contemptuously and said, "Forget it? Grandma! You don't want to pay, right? Then I'll go find Director Wang tomorrow to see if you really need to pay back the money."

"Fuck you, you're asking for a fight..." Sha Zhu was about to take action.

"Come on, try to hit me. You want to hit someone in front of the police. You are really brave." Xu Damao's long horse face was full of sarcasm and disdain.

"I...I I..." Sha Zhu really didn't dare to do anything. Ding Weidong was watching beside him. The ** and ** around his waist were exposed.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said, "Old Yan, you should pay for this."

"What do you mean I pay? It should be the three of us..." Yan Bugui was already so distressed that he was crying. How could he be asked to pay alone now?

"You were the one who proposed the fine and collected the money." Yi Zhonghai said calmly, "And you were the one who proposed and handled how the money was used."

"You're the only one who ate the sunflower seeds and peanuts I bought. Who do you think should pay for this?"

"If you don't pay back the money, and this matter gets reported to the school, then your future..." Yan Bugui was stunned, then said weakly: "Pay back the money, I'll pay it back." "But this is seventy-three yuan... I... I... fucking..."

At this time, Yan Bugui wished he could slap himself a few times for being so smart.

"Go and pay back the money. You must have kept records. Pay back according to the accounts." Yi Zhonghai turned around and went home. Liu Haizhong gave Ding Weidong a vicious look, then left with her big belly.

The people in the yard soon dispersed. Ding Weidong said to Li Qingyu, "Let's go back and have dinner. What are you still doing here?"

Just as they were about to leave, they heard a sound like ghosts howling in the backyard. "Let's go, this is the second uncle teaching his son a lesson."

He Yushui said as if he was used to it: "Beating him once a day is common! The kind that beats him to death."

As soon as Ding Weidong returned home, he heard the system's mechanical voice: "Beat Liu Guangtian, and the host will gain the Golden Bell Cover proficiency skill."

"Beat Liu Guangfu, the host's Golden Bell Cover skill has been upgraded. It has now reached the mastery level!"

Ding Weidong was extremely surprised. He had never thought that he could actually obtain the Golden Bell Cover skill. Moreover, it was Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who brought him here. These two people were really his lucky stars.

"Should I give them some benefits?" Ding Weidong thought to himself.

The Jia family was having a meal, and on the table was a large bowl of Chinese cabbage and tofu with a little oil residue in it. The oil residue was brought by Jia Dongxu from Yi Zhonghai's house.

There was corn porridge, steamed corn bread, and a dish of pickles.

Jia Zhang picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, and directly took the bowl of fried cabbage with tofu, intending to eat it all by herself. Of course, if Banggeng cried, Jia Zhang would also let Banggeng eat a few bites.

"Put it down!" Jia Dongxu slammed the table fiercely.

"What are you doing? Can't I even eat something delicious?" Jia Zhang said nonchalantly.

"Oh my god, how about this." Jia Dongxu suddenly calmed down: "Eat it, and I'll send you back to the countryside tomorrow. I can't afford to support you like this."

"You are only in your forties. It is not time for you to retire. In the countryside, many people are still working in the fields before they die."

Jia Zhang quickly put down the bowl, secretly cursing Qin Huairu in her heart, and forced a smile as she said, "Then it's okay if Mom doesn't eat it."

"It's not that we can't let you eat. If there's food, we can share it together so that everyone can have some." Jia Dongxu said, "We can't let you eat it all by yourself."

"In the compound, only Liu Haizhong is fatter than you. How could you still be short of food?"

Jia Zhang's eyes were a little flustered: "I... I just ate a little more at home. But there's nothing I can do about it. I just have such a big appetite."

Jia Zhang held the old Jia's pension in her hand, as well as the three yuan pension that Jia Dongxu gave her every month. Adding her previous savings, she had more than a thousand yuan in her hand. Otherwise, how could Jia Zhang say that her family was a wealthy family?

In her mind, more than a thousand yuan is a huge fortune, so her family is naturally a wealthy family.

Whenever Jia Zhang was free, she would go out to enjoy a good meal. If she needed money, she would go to the Pigeon City to buy some tickets.

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "You have such a big appetite because you eat and drink too much. If you lose weight, your appetite will be much smaller."

Jia Zhang suddenly panicked: "No, no, I worked so hard to gain weight. How can I lose it? This is absolutely not possible."

Jia Dongxu shook his head silently. As a son, he was helpless in facing a mother who only cared about herself.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai couldn't hold back any longer. He wanted to go look for Niu Er. He had been at work for two days, and there was no news at all.

Earlier, at the general meeting of the whole hospital, Ding Weidong had beaten the three uncles so hard that their faces were red and swollen, which made Yi Zhonghai want to cut Ding Weidong into pieces.

Yi Zhonghai was wearing a cotton coat and a cotton hat with three tiles on it. He lowered the earmuffs of the cotton hat and turned up the collar of his coat.

Yi Zhonghai, who was familiar with the road, came to ** and quickly found where Niu Er was staying. But the owner of this small yard had changed.

"You're looking for Niu Er? I'm still looking for him. This bastard borrowed 100 yuan from me and ran away." A man in his thirties said angrily: "That bastard, I heard he ran away to Tianjin."

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood that Niu Er had taken his gold bars and ran away. "This bastard!" Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart and turned around and left.

When Yi Zhonghai returned to the gate of the courtyard, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The gate was already bolted, so Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to knock on the door.

After a long time, Yan Bugui still didn't come, so Yi Zhonghai finally remembered to ring the bell. The bell was in Yan Bugui's bedroom, and the end of the rope was outside his back wall.

Every night Yan Bugui would throw the rope out through the hole he had left for it. Yi Zhonghai pulled the rope several times before returning to the gate of the compound.

After a long time, Yan Bugui slowly asked, "Who is it?" "Old Yan, open the door, it's me!" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

Yan Bugui opened the door, looked at Yi Zhonghai who came in, and said in surprise: "Hey, I didn't see you go out..."

"Old Yan, aren't you closing the door too early?" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

"Hey, that guy just went out. I just want to embarrass him." Yan Bugui said with a strange smile: "He doesn't know about the bell either."

"It was just someone who rang the bell. If there was a knock on the door, I would have pretended not to hear it." Yi Zhonghai naturally knew who Yan Bugui was talking about.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. Besides, their house is much closer to the gate than yours, and they have people at home."

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment and then said, "Your words reminded me. I'll lock the door later. Hehe, there will be times when he will beg me for help."

"This ** made me lose more than 70 yuan."

Yi Zhonghai had something on his mind, so he shook his head and left. He didn't even stop when he arrived at the middle courtyard, but went straight to the backyard.

Just now, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both knew that Ding Weidong went to Gezi City. But neither of them mentioned it. Because going to Gezi City cannot be used as a handle.

The deaf old lady hadn't slept yet, and the light in the room flickered like a ghost fire. The door was ajar, and Yi Zhonghai pushed it open and walked in.

"Zhonghai... come in." The voice of the deaf old lady came from the bedroom. The deaf old lady knew what Yi Zhonghai was doing and had been waiting here.

After entering the bedroom, Yi Zhonghai bitterly recounted what had just happened without waiting for the deaf old lady leaning on the kang to ask any questions.

"This bastard ran away with the gold." Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "If he falls into my hands, I will skin him alive."

"You... forget it. I'll find a way." The deaf old lady frowned and said, "When you get off work tomorrow, carry me on your back and go out."

"But how much will it cost?" Yi Zhonghai asked in embarrassment.

Yi Zhonghai knew that the deaf old lady had to find a way out on her own, but he felt sorry for the gold bars.

"You don't have to. I'll do it." The deaf old lady gnashed her teeth and said, "If we don't get rid of this little beast, we won't have a good life in this compound."

"After we get rid of him, we'll clean up all the people in this yard who have bad intentions."

Yi Zhonghai responded, but there was one thing he didn't say. Now everyone knows that the three uncles are actually incompetent. Who will listen to them in the future?

As for his status as an eighth-level worker in the factory, he had some say, but that was only in his workshop. Except for Jia Dongxu, no one else working in the steel rolling mill in the compound worked in workshop one.

If Yi Zhonghai wants to make things difficult for others, it will be very difficult for him.

Ding Weidong went out tonight to go to the pigeon market. He wanted to get some cloth coupons.

There was nothing missing, except for the cloth coupons.

The weather seems cold now, but it will warm up quickly. It's time to prepare spring clothes for Qingyu and Xiaoyu. Get some cloth coupons to buy cloth. Li Qingyu will do it herself.
