Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Uncle Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the front yard, placed a chair at the front gate with a teacup. Whenever a stranger came in, he would ask who they were looking for. If they were looking for Wang Lin, he would leave something before they came in.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is usually quite relaxed, so a handful of candy and melon seeds were placed on Yan Bugui's table as an entrance fee.

Uncle Yan Bugui has already earned quite a bit of fruit and snacks through this scheme.

When Chen Amao arrived at the front gate, he sat down on the steps and became the doorman.

When Uncle Yan Bugui saw Chen Amao coming to the door, he shouted, "Chen Amao! What are you doing at the front gate? Are you acting as a doorman?"

Chen Amao turned to look at the third uncle, Yan Bugui, and replied, "In order to prevent the guests who come to pay New Year's visits from being ripped off by you, I'm determined to be the doorman today, and not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

These words angered Uncle Yan Bugui so much that he stood up abruptly. He pointed at Chen Amao and said, "You little..." Before he could finish his curse, Wang Lin's voice rang out from behind him.

"Ah Mao, I've brought you breakfast, some glutinous rice balls and chicken legs. Just make do with this." Wang Lin brought over a large bowl of glutinous rice balls and a plate of chicken legs.

When Uncle Yan Bugui looked at the large bowl of glutinous rice balls and four chicken legs, he thought to himself, "What a waste! There's enough food for the whole family."

Chen Amao stepped forward and took the glutinous rice balls and chicken leg. He smiled and assured Wang Lin, "Brother Wang Lin, don't worry, I will never let the guests who come to pay New Year's visits be ripped off by this old man."

Wang Lin nodded, then took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Amao's pocket, saying, "Have some candy when you're bored."

Chen Amao chuckled and said, "Alright, I can sit here all day long after I've eaten and drunk my fill." He then looked at Uncle Yan Bugui provocatively.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard, but unfortunately he had no beard and could only stare helplessly.

He finally came up with a way to earn some extra money, but Wang Lin wouldn't let him earn it and insisted on letting Chen Amao interfere. This made him hate Wang Lin to the core. "You're living so well, what's wrong with letting me have a little soup? What about the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"

Wang Lin turned around and went back. He had come to deliver food to Chen Amao. It's common sense that you can't ask someone for help without giving anything in return.

After watching Wang Lin leave, Chen Amao sat on the steps and started gnawing on a chicken leg. When it got greasy, he took a sip of hot glutinous rice ball. In short, it was comforting.

Chapter 162 The Third Uncle is in a bad mood

"Some people, instead of being decent human beings, insist on becoming someone else's dog!"

Uncle Yan Bugui watched Chen Amao munching on a chicken leg. He made sarcastic remarks, but in his heart he was very envious. If Wang Lincoln gave him so much good food, what would it matter if he became a dog?

"Some people, they'd rather be dogs than work themselves to the bone like humans!"

Chen Amao also mocked the third uncle, Yan Bugui, saying that he was no longer the poor, uneducated boy he once was.

In Wang Lin's words, knowledge changes destiny, and Chen Amao may know more than Uncle Yan Bugui.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, pointed at Chen Amao, who stammered "you you you" without making any sense.

On the contrary, Chen Amao ate a chicken leg and a glutinous rice ball with great relish, deliberately making a noise to annoy Uncle Yan Bugui.

Unexpectedly, this third uncle, Yan Bugui, really couldn't hold his temper. He was already furious. He glared at Chen Amao and said irritably, "You'll just keep hanging around with that little bastard Wang Lin. You'll be in jail sooner or later."

Chen Amao chuckled and said, "You old bastard, all you do is dream. You want to get something for nothing by scheming against others. You're dreaming. You never wish others well and you have no ability yourself."

Wang Lin went in?

How could that be? Unless Wang Lin committed murder and arson, but would Wang Lin really be stupid enough to do such a thing?

Chen Amao didn't bother arguing with the third uncle, Yan Bugui. After eating and drinking his fill, he let out a burp and basked in the long-lost sun.

A man riding a bicycle and carrying gifts stopped at the door. He looked at Chen Amao and asked, "Young comrade, is this the courtyard house in Tongluo Lane?"

Chen Amao nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Tongluo Lane courtyard. Please ask Director Wang of the Purchasing Department of the Third Steel Rolling Mill to come inside."

"Okay, okay, please lead the way. Here are some candies to sweeten your mouth."

The person who came was the canteen director of the No. 1 canteen. The leftovers from their annual meeting were left by the factory for the canteen cooks at Wang Lin's suggestion. The canteen director remembered this and bought some things to come and wish them a happy new year on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Amao said to the other person, "Come in with me, I'll take you there."

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, looked at the man and stepped forward to intercept him, saying, "Hello, I'll take you there. This young man is inexperienced and unreliable."

The canteen manager looked at Uncle Yan Bugui, feeling it wasn't appropriate to have an old man show him the way, so he declined, saying, "No need to trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Yan Bugui immediately put on a stern face, as if someone owed him money.

Chen Amao exposed the truth about the Third Uncle Yan Bugui, saying to the canteen manager, "Ignore him. He wants a bribe from you if he leads you the way."

Upon hearing this, Third Uncle Yan Bugui glared at Chen Amao and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Third Uncle, the manager of our courtyard, is that kind of person?!"

Chen Amao directly retorted, "Otherwise what?"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, kept rambling on and on, trying to justify himself: "I'm a primary school teacher, how could a dignified people's teacher possibly..."

The canteen manager followed Chen Amao into the courtyard, completely ignoring the boasting of the Third Uncle Yan Bugui.

After leading the person to the backyard, Chen Amao immediately ran out again, fearing that someone might fall for that old bastard Yan Bugui's tricks during this free time.

Uncle Yan Bugui was thinking that it would be good if someone came at this time!

Unexpectedly, Chen Amao immediately ran back, giving him no chance at all. This directly broke the defenses of the Third Uncle Yan Bugui, who angrily said, "You brat, are you deliberately going against me today?"

Chen Amao ignored the Third Uncle Yan Bugui and sat down on the steps to sunbathe.

Seeing this, Uncle Yan Bugui knew that he couldn't find another sucker today, so he simply carried the chair back and stuffed all the fruits on the table into his pockets, afraid that Chen Amao would take them for him.

Chen Amao ignored the way his third uncle, Yan Bugui, acted as if he were a thief. He thought that this petty and scheming fellow was still far from being a good man.

Third Uncle Yan Bugui carried the chair back to the courtyard. As soon as he put the chair down, First Uncle Yi Zhonghai came out with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Third Uncle Yan Bugui looked unwell, he asked, "Old Yan, what's wrong?"

"Uncle." Uncle Yan Bugui looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai. He complained, "It's all because of Chen Amao from the courtyard. He got close to Wang Lin and became Wang Lin's dog. I was just thinking of showing people the way at the gate of the courtyard, but this kid directly stole my customers."

“It’s that kid, Amao.” Uncle Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, then he advised Uncle Yan Bugui, “Alright, don’t get angry with a half-grown boy during the New Year. Be more magnanimous.”

"I can't be generous." Uncle Yan Bugui was simply not generous; he probably made a lot of money leading the way all day.

How could someone like that old man, who only has himself to feed and no one else to worry about, possibly understand that he has to support so many people?

"Let's go for a walk." An elderly man named Yi Zhonghai walked towards the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, grew angrier the more he thought about it. He wished someone would teach Wang Lin a lesson, but when he thought that even the silly Zhu in the courtyard couldn't beat Wang Lin, he had to suppress the idea.

"Dad! Give me money to buy firecrackers."

"Dad! I want one too."

The children of Uncle Yan Bugui reached out to him, asking for money to buy firecrackers.

"How much do you want?" Yan Bugui pretended to reach into his pocket to take out money.

"Just give me a dollar."

"One dollar isn't enough, you need two dollars."

Surprisingly, Yan Bugui did not refuse when he heard this. He took out a wad of small bills, counted them, and said, "Here's a penny for each of you. Go outside and see if there are any firecrackers that others haven't set off yet."

Two dollars?

Just kidding, how could Uncle Yan Bugui possibly be willing to part with two yuan? He wouldn't even be willing to spend two cents, let alone two yuan. If it weren't for the fact that it's the second day of the Lunar New Year, he wouldn't even want to spend two mao (0.2 yuan).

The word "stingy" was perfectly embodied in the character of Uncle Yan Bugui.

Even a penny counts, so the two immediately snatched it away, afraid that Yan Bugui would change his mind.

After sending the two children away, Uncle Yan Bugui returned to his room to lie down for a while. But as soon as he got back, he saw his son and daughter-in-law preparing to go back to the wife's parents' home, and they had even hidden a bottle of wine.

"dad."

When Yan Jiekuang and his wife Yu Li saw Yan Bugui return, they were a little embarrassed, but they didn't explain anything. Instead, they called out to him and hurriedly went out.

Yan Bugui sat in the chair, recalling his son's actions of hiding the wine earlier. He felt very uncomfortable. His son bought a bottle of wine but didn't give it to his father-in-law instead.

Isn't this like raising an ungrateful child?

Uncle Yan Bugui's mood immediately soured.

At the courtyard gate, the third son and youngest daughter of the third uncle, Yan Bugui, were still complaining about their father's stinginess, saying that he only gave them a penny during the New Year, which was extremely shameful.

Chen Amao wasn't envious at all when he saw Yan Bugui's daughter going out to play. In his opinion, the two of them only cared about playing and would never amount to anything in the future.

Chapter 163 He Yuzhu gives Qin Huairu extra food

Many people came to Wang Lin's house to pay their respects on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but most of them were Wang Lin's factory colleagues, and none of the factory leaders came.

The factory leaders will probably come to wish Wang Lin a Happy New Year after the third day of the Lunar New Year.

At this time, a number of people had gathered in Wang Lin's room. They were all colleagues from the purchasing department, and almost everyone was present except for Yang Mingyuan.

Section Chief Liu Zhengdao also brought gifts to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Lin, which was very respectful.

It was the first time that so many people had come to their home, and the two mythical creatures, Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei, were sitting on the sofa, hugging their prince, looking a little shy.

Tang Tang and Li Tang looked around the black and white television in Wang Lin's house and exclaimed in envy.

This is a black and white television!

Currently, very few people can afford it, yet Wang Lin has already arranged for it to be available.

Li Tang touched the brand-new black and white television set and said admiringly to Wang Lin, "Brother Wang, you really are amazing! You arranged for this brand-new black and white television set to be installed right away."

Wang Lin served the group of glutinous rice balls, saying, "It's just a black and white TV set, no big deal."

Tang Tang corrected, "Brother Wang, this isn't just a simple matter of a black and white television set. Black and white television sets aren't rare items that money can buy."

Everyone else in the room knew that if Wang Lin didn't have the background and resources, he wouldn't have been able to buy such a black and white television. Didn't you hear factory leaders like Director Yang and Deputy Director Li boasting that they had black and white televisions?

Wang Lin was just a small factory director, but he was able to own this black and white television set, which shows that Wang Lin's background was extraordinary. On the surface, he was just an orphan of a martyr, but in secret, he was a relative of some important figure.

"Alright, everyone, let's eat our glutinous rice balls."

Wang Lin brought the cooked glutinous rice balls to the table and let everyone help themselves, while he continued to add more dishes for everyone.

Wang Lin made the braised dishes when he was bored and craving something delicious. There were quite a few vegetables in them, including potatoes, eggs, and chicken legs.

After everyone had served themselves a bowl of glutinous rice balls, Wang Lin brought out some heated braised dishes and said, "Eat whatever you want, don't be shy."

This braised dish contains not only meat, but also chicken legs and eggs.

Everyone knew that Wang Lin lived a good life, so they didn't stand on ceremony with him and all started to help themselves.

Wang Baobao couldn't stand so many people, so she carried the prince to Wang Lin and said, "Guoguo, let's go outside and set off sparklers in the yard."

Wang Lin pinched Wang Baobao's face and instructed, "Okay, go ahead. If anything happens, just shout it out, understand?"

Wang Baobao nodded seriously.

After the two mythical beasts left carrying the cat.
