That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 930: Do Everything First
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ye felt even busier than when he was in Qingshui County!
Because celebrating the New Year in Beijing requires too many hurdles to meet.

He first followed Lu Zhizhang to visit everyone in the unit to wish a happy new year. No matter how unpleasant they were to someone on weekdays, they had to say Happy New Year to them if they met them today.

Then Li Ye went to visit his master Lao Ding's home, his teacher Professor Zhang's home, and the homes of several senior brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings. Even if he had a car, it was almost noon when he returned to Fuyou Street.

Compared with Li Ye's busyness, Li Zhongfa and Wu Juying seem to be too idle.

In Qingshui County, the old couple had a high seniority and many connections, and there was an endless stream of people coming to pay New Year's greetings to them all day long. But in this big capital city, they didn't know many people.

Fellow villagers of the "Qingshui Gang" like Jiang Hong and Chen Jinhua have gone home to celebrate the New Year. Jin Peng and Hao Jian will not come until the third or fourth day of the New Year. Li Dayong flew directly to Hong Kong Island to become the "new son-in-law" at Pei Wencong's house. So Li Ye's family has been receiving a family of New Year's greetings for most of the day.

As soon as Li Ye got home, his sister Fu Yiruo said to him, "Brother, you are back. A neighbor came to wish you a happy new year. You were not at home, and they didn't know whether to leave or stay. I felt so distressed for them."

"Neighbor? Which neighbor?"

Li Ye was a little surprised, because he usually lives a low-key life and doesn't like to visit people. He is not very familiar with his neighbors. Even if someone comes to wish him a happy new year, he should just say happy new year and leave! How could they wait for him at home?
It was not until he arrived at the living room that Li Ye saw Daliangzi and his mother, Mrs. Fan, who lived in the alley in front.

Li Ye probably knew what was going on.

Before the New Year, Aunt Wang from the street was casting a net everywhere to find a way out for the unemployed young people in the street. When she caught the big fish Li Ye, Li Ye casually mentioned that when dealing with the unemployed young people, how should people like Daliangzi be dealt with.

Aunt Wang said at the time that they would be given priority. Now it seems that the mother and daughter got the news and came here specially to "walk around".

Seeing Li Ye enter the living room, Mrs. Fan stood up first and said with a smile: "Director Li is back! You are so busy today, we are sorry to trouble you by coming here."

"It's not a big deal. It's just a New Year's greeting to neighbors. Please sit down."

Li Ye hurriedly asked Mrs. Fan to sit down, but Daliangzi, who was a little slow, just stood up and sat back awkwardly, which made his mother very dissatisfied and she glared at him fiercely.

As a result, he was glared at by my mother and Daliangzi lowered his head, which made Mrs. Fan even angrier.

I originally brought him here to make him familiar to everyone! But he just acted like a fool and didn't talk. Which leader would like such a dull kid?

"Hey, Director Li, don't be surprised. Daliangzi lost his father when he was young, so he feels shorter than others. That's why he is not very good at talking. But he was not like this when he was a child. He was very smart."

"Hehe, actually Daliangzi is not stupid, he is honest, I like him very much"

"Hey, hey, hey, this kid is really honest. He is really honest."

Mrs. Fan followed Li Ye's lead in speaking, fearing that she would displease Li Ye.

But in fact, Li Ye really likes Daliangzi. He met Daliangzi not long after he moved to Fuyou Street.

At that time, Daliangzi was riding a tricycle loaded with things. When he turned at the entrance of the alley, he failed to brake in time and bumped into Li Ye's Santana. He was so scared that tears came to his eyes.

For a car worth two hundred thousand, even a little paint peeling off is not cheap.

However, Li Ye just wiped it with a wet rag, and there was almost no scratch. He waved his hand and left.

But after a few days, Daliangzi was waiting at the intersection, holding a stack of banknotes and handing them to Li Ye, saying awkwardly that he was willing to pay the compensation. If he couldn't pay it in one day, he would pay it in a year.

Li Ye became interested at that time and chatted with Daliangzi for a while. He learned that Daliangzi was unemployed and had no income at home. He could only earn twenty or thirty yuan a month by riding a tricycle.

In the 1980s, twenty or thirty yuan was enough to feed one person and the whole family, but Daliangzi had a younger brother and a younger sister, and his mother's job in the street factory was not doing well, so these twenty or thirty yuan would usually make water drip from his hands.

[Not every tricycle rider is Han Chunming.]

Li Ye told Daliangzi at that time that his car was insured and the insurance company paid the compensation. Then Daliangzi smiled and let it go.

After that, Li Ye often saw Daliangzi, who got up early and went out on his tricycle to wait for work. He didn't talk much, but he was definitely a diligent and hardworking child.

Moreover, when Li Ye bought candied haws for Xiao Duner, he met Da Liangzi. He wore washed-out clothes and bought some candied haws for his younger brothers and sisters. The way he swallowed hard but waved his hands repeatedly, saying "brother doesn't like sour food", touched Li Ye deeply. So when he talked to Aunt Wang about the recruitment before the New Year, Li Ye mentioned Da Liangzi.

"Hey, it's already noon after all this chatting. I have to go back and cook for the two kids."

After chatting with Li Ye for a while, Mrs. Fan stood up and said goodbye, and never mentioned Daliangzi's work from beginning to end.

Li Ye hurriedly saw them off, while Han Chunmei had already handed them a few return gifts.

"No, no, we really can't take this, please don't do this."

Mrs. Fan became anxious on the spot and tried to refuse with a bitter face.

Maybe she thought that she brought a few gifts but people gave her even more expensive gifts in return, which was a disguised rejection of Daliangzi's job.

In the end, it was Wu Juying who took the gift and personally delivered it to Mrs. Fan, and she walked a long way away.

When Wu Juying came back, her hands were empty.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Grandma, how did you send the things out?"

Wu Juying glanced at Li Ye and asked in a teaching tone, "How do you think they came to our house?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it about Daliangzi's work? Although they didn't say it directly, since we've been together, I must understand it in my heart. Isn't that what they say! No one may remember who gave a gift, but who didn't, I guarantee they will remember it."

Wu Juying raised her eyebrows and immediately scolded, "You only learn these dirty things. If you want to be a leader like this, you might as well get out of here as soon as possible."

"."

Seeing her grandson was embarrassed by her scolding, Wu Juying softened her tone and said, "Dalliangzi and his mother are honest people, so they are embarrassed to give gifts to them.
There must be a smart person who asked him to come over. When the time comes, he will say that Daliangzi came to pay New Year's greetings to Director Li, so that it will not be easy for someone else to take his place. "

"."

Li Ye said in surprise: "I told Aunt Wang."

Wu Juying interrupted, "You may not be 100% sure what you said. You are a leader now. Can you take the leader's words seriously? After all the entanglements of relationships, the honest people are the ones who suffer the most.

When people come to you with all kinds of connections, will you have to argue with them again? Will you offend them?"

Li Ye said self-deprecatingly: "Grandma, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Wu Juying rolled her eyes at Li Ye and said, "I just gave her the gift and asked her to go around and spread the news. Then, when the time comes to allocate quotas, they will be less likely to suffer losses, and you won't have to argue with those people."

"."

Li Ye finally understood what Wu Juying meant.

Everything should be done in advance. Use a few gifts to let others know that Daliangzi has already registered with Li Ye. If you want to take his place, you have to think carefully.

"Ah~"

Wu Juying sighed and said, "I've asked around about that Daliangzi. He lost his father when he was young and was always bullied. His tricycle was stolen twice in the past few years, and he was often bullied by gangs when he went out to work."

"It's not appropriate for this kind of child to be a leader, but he can be a good worker."

Wu Juying talked a lot, which seemed to be trivial matters, but when Li Ye thought about it carefully, he felt that it was the philosophy of life.
