Siheyuan: Start with a big car

In fact, it was not only Qin Huairu who had her eyes on the color TV, but also the third uncle.

The reason why the third uncle was also interested in color TVs was because of Yan Jiecheng's marriage.

Yan Jiecheng caused such a big mess that although he was not imprisoned, his reputation was ruined.

Finally someone found a marriage for Yan Jiecheng, but the girl was a little reluctant.

In order to deliberately embarrass Yan Jiecheng, he directly asked for a large Red Star color TV.

"Jiecheng, it's obvious that someone is trying to make things difficult for you. I think you should just forget it." The third aunt persuaded Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng frowned and said, "Mom, that girl is a regular female worker in the textile factory and can get 40 to 50 yuan a month.

If we can just get a big color TV, we can marry such a good wife. It's a good deal no matter how you look at it!"

Yan Jiekuang also nodded: "Yes, in fact, Li Weidong is the eldest uncle in our compound. Over the years, you, as the third uncle, have often helped him.
Logically speaking, our family is in trouble now, and Li Weidong should lend a helping hand. "

"Look at what you said. Li Weidong doesn't owe us anything. How can we do this?" The third uncle felt that there was something wrong with the thinking of Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang.

The third aunt persuaded him, "Old man, just give it a try. What if it works? After all, this matter concerns the life and death of our Yan Jiecheng."

There was no other way, the uncle could only guard the gate and wait until 10 o'clock in the evening when Li Weidong came back unsteadily on his bicycle.

"Weidong, you're finally back. Why are you working so late?"

"Uncle, the factory has been a little busy lately. What's going on? Do you have anything to do?"

Li Weidong knew at a glance that the third uncle must have something to ask for.

The third uncle smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that our Yan Jiecheng is dating again. The other party is a textile worker, but she needs a color TV."

The third uncle briefly explained the situation. Li Weidong frowned after listening. "Third uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you. Color TV sets are in short supply right now. Even Director Yang of our steel mill didn't get a quota."

The third uncle waved his hand and said, "Weidong, you misunderstood. I don't need a TV. I just need this title."

This confused Li Weidong.

"Uncle, it's late at night, don't hide anything here. Just tell me what's going on. I'm waiting to go back to bed."

The third uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "You just need to give me a color TV.

I'll let the woman take a look and I'll return this TV to your steel mill right away.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about the quota, and our family can also find a daughter-in-law.”

After understanding the Third Uncle's plan, Li Weidong gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

After all this time, isn’t this just a marriage fraud?

In later times, in some remote places, men who could not find wives would find ways to borrow furniture, bicycles, and televisions.
After you marry the girl, return all these things.

It has to be said that the Third Uncle's plan was very clever, but Li Weidong was not interested in getting involved in these messy things.

"Uncle San, I still want to advise you that you should be honest and don't get involved in these messy things."

After saying that, Li Weidong turned around and left.

The third uncle also knew that his so-called plan was a lie and could only sigh deeply.

The third uncle returned home and told Yan Jiecheng about this matter. Yan Jiecheng was furious at the time: "Li Weidong is the eldest uncle in our compound after all, and now he doesn't even give me a little face. It's so abominable!"

"Okay, Yan Jiecheng, you mustn't cause any trouble." The third uncle was worried that Yan Jiecheng might cause some trouble, so he quickly reminded him.

"I know, I know." Yan Jiecheng turned around and went back to the house with some depression.

At this time, the third uncle yawned and was about to go back to the house.

Yan Jiekuang came up to stop the third uncle and said in a low voice: "Dad, I have something to report to you."

Hearing this, the third uncle turned his head and looked at Yan Jiekuang in surprise.

You should know that among the several children of the Yan family, Yan Jiekuang is the most honest one. He has good academic performance in school and is also a class leader.

According to Yan Jiekuang's academic level, he would be able to become a leader in a factory after graduation.

Because Yan Jiecheng made serious mistakes and was arrested twice, Yan Jiekuang, as Yan Jiecheng's younger brother, was also affected.
After he entered the steel rolling mill, he could only work as a worker because he failed the audit.

However, after Yan Jiekuang became a worker, he quickly became an advanced worker in the workshop because of his knowledge, culture, and hard work.
If things continue to develop in this direction, Yan Jiekuang will be able to become a workshop leader in no time, and then be promoted step by step.

It can be said that Yan Jiekuang is the hope of the Yan family, so when Yan Jiekuang suddenly brought up something, the third uncle was shocked and the third aunt also came over.

"Jie Kuang, you didn't make the same mistake as your brother, did you?"

Hearing this, Yan Jiekuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said, "Dad, Mom, you misunderstood. You know, I was honest in the workshop, and Master Chen took care of me, how could I make a mistake?"

Hearing this, the third uncle and aunt both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Yan Jiekuang continued, "In fact, I have something good to tell you. I'm dating someone."

After hearing this, the third uncle and the third aunt became excited. You know, Yan Jiekuang is not young anymore and it is time for him to start a family.

The uncle quickly asked, "Where is that girl from? What is her job? Is she a leader in the factory?"

In the eyes of the third uncle, Yan Jiekuang will become a leader sooner or later, so his partner must also be a leader.

Yan Jiekuang was very embarrassed at this time. He rubbed his hands and said, "Dad, my girlfriend is Master Chen's daughter."

Hearing this, the third uncle's face suddenly changed.

"Jie Kuang, I heard you mention it before. Master Chen's daughter is working in the steel mill. She's just a temporary worker, right?"

You know, in this year, the workstations are particularly tight. Although Master Chen is the master in the workshop,
After he retires, he can only pass the job to his son, not his daughter. In other words, Master Chen's daughter can only be a temporary worker for the rest of her life.

Yan Jiekuang knew that the third uncle was not satisfied, so he quickly said, "Dad, although Shuqin is just a temporary worker, she has a very kind personality and is very beautiful. Don't worry, she will definitely be a good daughter-in-law after she gets married."

The third uncle didn't want to hear this. He waved his hand at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Jiekuang, stop talking so much. I won't agree to this marriage." "Dad, how can you do this? Shuqin is a good girl. You can't treat her like this!"

The third uncle looked at Yan Jiekuang who was anxious, sighed and said, "Jie Kuang, I know you are fascinated by that woman now, but I can tell you that what future do temporary workers like those have? If I remember correctly, Master Chen's wife is still a rural person, which means Shuqin also has a rural household registration.
Her situation is the same as Qin Huairu's. Look at how Qin Huairu lived in the past."

Hearing this, Yan Jiekuang suddenly fell silent.

Although the residents in the compound all hated Qin Huairu and thought she was a vampire

But everyone knows that the main reason why Qin Huairu has become what she is today is that she has no job.
If she was a city dweller like Jia Dongxu and had a job, she would not have to borrow money from others at all.

The third uncle continued to persuade her: "It's not a big deal if you don't have a job, after all, you just earn a little less salary.

But if your child does not have a hukou because he still has a rural hukou, his life will be very difficult in the future.”

It has to be said that there is no parent who doesn't love their children. The third uncle is thinking about Yan Jiekuang wholeheartedly.

Yan Jiekuang also fell into hesitation. He sighed and said, "Dad, let's talk about this later."

"Oh, kid, how can you wait until later to talk about such an important matter? I told you not to date her!"

"Let go of my hand, I want to sleep."

Yan Jiekuang turned around, walked into the house angrily and closed the door.

The third uncle stamped his feet and said, "Look at this kid, he doesn't understand anything!"

The third aunt persuaded him: "Old man, don't worry, our Yan Jiekuang is a sensible child, he will not ignore your opinion."

"I hope so. Neither of these two children gives me peace of mind."

The third uncle sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed deeply.

Li Weidong didn't know this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

After all, with the hot sales of color TV sets, the existing workshops are no longer sufficient.
With the approval of the steel mill, two new workshops were opened, and Li Weidong also had to supervise the workshops.

Early in the morning, Li Weidong got up early, took a washbasin, and went to the middle courtyard to wash his face.

In fact, Li Weidong's house has a bathroom with hot water, so he can wash himself at home.

However, Li Weidong considered that as the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan, he was often not in the Siheyuan due to his busy work.

So I took the opportunity in the morning to chat with the residents and learn about the situation in the courtyard.

Sure enough, as soon as he carried the basin to the sink, Liu Haizhong came over.

"Uncle One, I heard a quarrel coming from Uncle Three's house last night. The noise was very loud, as if they were fighting."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Weidong knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking. This guy was often criticized by Li Weidong for beating his son in the past. Now that he saw that civil strife had broken out in the third uncle's family, he would definitely report it immediately.

"Liu Haizhong, the children in Third Uncle's family are all older. Third Uncle would never beat them. Who doesn't have conflicts in their family? Don't you agree?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, the residents who were watching nodded one after another.

"That's right, Liu Haizhong is meddling too much. They were just arguing, not fighting."

"Yesterday I saw Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt arguing, why didn't Liu Haizhong say anything?"

"How can such a small matter be so drastic? I think Liu Haizhong has ulterior motives."

Liu Haizhong was also startled when he heard the residents' discussions, and quickly said, "Oh, I was just being kind-hearted. I was afraid that the Third Uncle would destroy the stability and unity in our compound, so I reminded everyone. You actually scolded me!"

Seeing his frustrated look, Li Weidong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, Liu Haizhong is a resident of the compound, and bringing up the situation in a timely manner is also for the good of the compound. Let's not think too much about it, and quickly wash your face and go to work."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran away, while Sha Zhu was stunned watching from the side.

Li Weidong's combination of punches not only taught Liu Haizhong a lesson, but also allowed the residents in the compound to see Liu Haizhong's thoughts, while also leaving Liu Haizhong with some face.

"Brother Weidong, your skill is worth learning for several years!"

Sha Zhu is now the director of the cafeteria and really needs to learn management knowledge.

"Okay, as long as you use your brain at work instead of using brute force, any problem can be solved."

Li Weidong is actually quite optimistic about Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is strong and very good at talking, but he just doesn't want to use his brain.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly, then turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Li Weidong would definitely teach him a lesson again.

Li Weidong had also washed his face at this time. He was about to turn around and walk home with the washbasin in his hand when Yan Jiekuang approached him stealthily.

"Uncle, wait a moment. There is something I hope you can help me solve."

Seeing Yan Jiekuang, Li Weidong frowned slightly.

In fact, Li Weidong used to have a good impression of Yan Jiekuang. After all, Yan Jiekuang did not cause trouble in the compound and was an honest child.

But ever since Yan Jiekuang started working, Li Weidong felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this guy.

Yan Jiekuang worked very hard in the workshop and was an advanced worker in the workshop, but the workers did not think highly of him.

The reason is very simple. When Yan Jiekuang was working, he not only did not pass on his skills to other workers, but also tried every means to make trouble for those workers.

Take last month for example, Li Weidong heard that Yan Jiekuang deliberately moved all the parts to his own workstation, causing more than a dozen workers in the workshop to be idle.

Logically speaking, Yan Jiekuang's behavior should have been criticized by the workers and even by the workshop director long ago.

However, since his master, Master Chen, was a level 7 master and had a high reputation in the workshop, Yan Jiekuang was able to continue to be so arrogant.

"It's Yan Jiekuang. What can I do for you?" Li Weidong glanced at him and said.

Yan Jiekuang rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Uncle, I heard that your workshop is hiring again. This time, it's not me who wants to join the workshop, but a friend of mine, the daughter of Master Chen."
