Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

Of course, Second Uncle was defeated, but the Liu family was not defeated, because the Liu family not only had Second Uncle, but also Liu Guangtian.

After Uncle Er became a toilet cleaner, earning only twenty yuan a month, his status at home plummeted!

Correspondingly, Liu Guangtian, who has already been promoted to a full-time employee in the cafeteria, has now become the 'decision-maker' in his family.

In the past, if the family had an extra meal, they would fry two eggs. Uncle Er could eat two-thirds of them by himself, and Aunt Er would eat half of the remaining third. Only the last bit was for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

But now the situation has reversed; the family's meager twenty yuan from Uncle Er is not enough.

As for Uncle Er's previous savings? Sorry, during this search, both your ill-gotten gains and your 'savings' were confiscated by the food factory's inspection team. There's no savings left.

So now, the person in charge of the Liu family has changed from Second Uncle to Liu Guangtian. As for eating eggs, Second Uncle, do you earn as much money as I do? Are you even an official? No! Then why can you still eat so many eggs?

From now on, when we eat eggs, I, Liu Guangtian, will eat one-third first! My younger brother, Liu Guangfu, will eat another third, and you two can share the remaining third!

As for why Liu Guangfu received more eggs than Uncle Er, it's quite simple: the current Liu Guangfu is no longer the timid and submissive Liu Guangfu of the past.

With this gust of wind blowing, Liu Guangfu, relying on the Liu family's genes for being good at causing trouble, successfully became the leader of the 'soldier' ​​group.

Right now, this trend is really strong, and becoming the leader of a 'soldier' ​​is considered a pretty high-ranking position.

Therefore, Liu Guangfu's status at home is now higher than that of the Second Uncle who made a mistake.

After this unexpected turn of events, Uncle Er was filled with regret! Why did he have to provoke Ye Jianchuan, that plague god?

We used to be 'cooperating' so well. Why didn't I just continue to live peacefully with him? Why did I have to provoke him? Now look what's happened, I've ended up in this situation.

However, it's too late to regret it now. Besides having to swallow his anger at the steel mill, Uncle Er can only cower and tremble when he gets home.

Of course, to be honest, Liu Guangtian originally planned to just slip away at a certain time, after all, this was the suggestion Xu Damao had given him.

But before he could even officially become a permanent employee, this trend started. At that point, let alone resigning to find a job elsewhere, you needed connections even to move to another province.

In addition, Xu Damao, who had been helping him devise strategies, suddenly vanished without a trace, so Liu Guangtian could only wait and see.

As a result of this observation, Liu Guangtian directly turned the tables and took charge of the country, something he hadn't expected before.

. . . . . .

Aside from the unpleasant things happening in the courtyard house, did this trend have any other impact on Ye Jianchuan? The answer is yes.

For example, Ye Jianchuan was acquainted with Lou Xiao'e before, which directly aroused suspicion and investigation from all parties, but it was extremely difficult for them to find out anything.

After all, Ye Jianchuan didn't leave any evidence of his relationship with Lou Xiao'e. As for the things left by the Lou family, they couldn't possibly find them. They were all in Ye Jianchuan's storage space, and no one else could find them at all!

However, after a series of investigations, they eventually found Qin Huairu as a lead, and from Qin Huairu they found the 'Lou family's assets,' which was that small courtyard.

Of course, the name written on the small courtyard (Li Zhao) is Qin Huairu's name, but Qin Huairu does not have that much income to support this expense, which makes Qin Huairu a 'suspect' as well.

However, Qin Huairu quickly brought out the explanation she had prepared beforehand, claiming that she had borrowed money from Lou Xiao'e to buy the house.

Qin Huairu was even able to produce IOUs and several 'repayment' receipts.

Of course, none of this is true; it was just something Lou Xiao'e wrote down as a precaution.

In this way, Qin Huairu no longer accepted gifts from capitalists. As for her loan relationship with Lou Xiao'e, since the capitalists had already run away, what difference did it make whether she repaid the loan or not?

Furthermore, Ye Jianchuan also brought in Captain Long, who had helped buy the courtyard, to testify, so the investigation into Qin Huairu finally came to an end.

Chapter 252 Yu Haitang's 'Sacrifice of Family for the greater good'

The impact of this gust of wind on everyone in the courtyard was basically as described. However, there was one person who wasn't actually in the courtyard, and he was lifted off the spot by this gust of wind.

That person was none other than the exceptionally active Yu Haitang. After this gust of wind rose, Yu Haitang seemed to have discovered a new continent, and directly abandoned Ye Jianchuan, embarking on her 'active path'.

After that, Yu Haitang was unusually active and enthusiastic in all kinds of criticism meetings and "actions".

Such a positive performance naturally brought her to the attention of Factory Director Li very quickly.

Previously, Director Li was actually a little worried. After all, Yu Haitang was arranged to work at the steel rolling mill by Director Yang. What if he used her and she stabbed him in the back?

But soon Director Li discovered that this young woman was just as capable as that old guy Liu Haizhong when it came to getting things done. Not only was she ruthless, but she was also fearless!

Although this girl is a bit smarter than that old guy with bangs, so you need to be a little careful when using her, she's still pretty good if you're just using her as a knife.

And so... the position of leader of the 'investigation team' that originally belonged to Second Uncle quickly fell to Yu Haitang.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Li was initially quite happy, since someone in her family had also suffered a misfortune. It would be good if Yu Haitang could step in and help take care of her father-in-law!

But the result disappointed Yu Li. Yu Haitang was now only focused on climbing the social ladder, and she didn't care about family or kinship anymore.

Besides, there's a significant distance between you and my third uncle, so he can't help at all. In fact, not only can I not help, but I also have to show my image of putting family aside for the greater good.

Then... less than three days after Yu Li asked Yu Haitang for help, Third Uncle was dragged out by Yu Haitang and criticized again.

This move immediately caused an uproar in the Yan family. Yan Jiekuang almost went directly to the school to lead people to raid Yu Haitang's house.

In the end, it was Yu Li who stepped in and persuaded Yan Jiekuang to stop. After all, Yu Haitang's house was also her house, and if things continued to escalate, it would be bad for everyone's reputation.

The final result was that Yu Li decisively broke off her relationship with Yu Haitang, which finally calmed down the Yan family members a little.

Although such things sound absurd, they have happened quite a few times during this period.

Didn't Guo Degang tell a joke like that before? It was about the experiences of some veteran crosstalk performers during that era.

Among them was Wang Shuangfu from the Wang family, who was an active figure in that era. At a denunciation meeting, he led the way by jumping onto the stage and shouting, "We must resolutely fight against the anti-Communists to the end!"

Then the denunciation meeting began, and the first "anti-GM" to be dragged onto the stage for denunciation was his father, the crosstalk master Wang Benling.

So at this time, some seemingly ridiculous things actually happen quite frequently.

However, this matter did not affect Ye Jianchuan at all. On the contrary, after this wind blew, Yu Haitang, this big trouble, withdrew on her own, which was actually a good thing for Ye Jianchuan.

. . . . . .

And so, in the first year of this storm, Ye Jianchuan got through it all peacefully. After the two waves of turmoil caused by Qin Huairu and Second Uncle, Ye Jianchuan was basically a 'clean' person.

So, over the next two years, Ye Jianchuan's life finally got back on track.

The following year, in 68, Ye Jianchuan finally got together with He Yushui. Although it was a special period and they couldn't hold a grand celebration in response to the call, Ye Jianchuan still brought out a lot of things and treated everyone to a good meal in the courtyard.

If this were when Uncle Er was feeling smug, then after Ye Jianchuan did this, Uncle Er would probably not only not thank Ye Jianchuan, but would also secretly write it down in his notebook, and later arrange for him to have a lavish wedding and give him a good scolding.

Unfortunately, Second Uncle no longer has that ability. Not only does he lack the ability to trip up Ye Jianchuan, he doesn't even have the intention to secretly report Ye Jianchuan anymore.

The reason is simple: Ye Jianchuan has been promoted yet again! That's right, Ye Jianchuan has been promoted again, directly from workshop director to acting deputy factory director.

The title of deputy factory director sounds impressive, but within the food factory, it's really just so-so, because the changes that have taken place in the food factory this time are quite significant.

In the first year of this storm, the food factory was not really affected, but the storm just kept getting stronger and stronger, and then the deputy factory director who never came to work and had only held a nominal position collapsed.

Or rather, it should be said that the powerful backer behind this deputy factory director collapsed, and he suffered as a result.

Meanwhile, Ye Jianchuan obtained two more good blueprints from the system during the past two years, which enabled the food factory to add two more workshops.

Moreover, since Ye Jianchuan was responsible for producing all the items in these workshops, he also served as the workshop director for these new workshops.

One person was in charge of three production workshops; he was the workshop director for all three workshops. This was Ye Jianchuan's position before he became the deputy factory director.

So what should a workshop director be who oversees three production workshops? The answer is... still a workshop director.

Of course, that was before. Now Ye Jianchuan has finally been given a new position, namely, acting deputy factory director.

So, did the position of deputy factory director fall to Ye Jianchuan? Yes... but not entirely, because there are three acting deputy factory directors this time, and Ye Jianchuan is just one of them.

For Ye Jianchuan, this kind of promotion was really useless. Whether it was a workshop director or an acting deputy factory director, wasn't he still doing the same things every day?

Of course, a promotion is better than nothing, especially after Ye Jianchuan learned that his professional rank had increased by two levels and his salary had also increased by two levels. This seemingly insignificant matter became very important.

Chapter 253 Deputy Factory Director Ye Officially Goes Online

However... as mentioned before, the food factory where Ye Jianchuan works is actually just a branch of the Sijiucheng Food Factory, with only a few hundred people working there.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, and it only has one factory director and two deputy factory directors. Your unit with a few hundred employees has three deputy factory directors.

This was actually something that was done by people above Director Zhou. Although he was called the deputy director, apart from the increase in his official rank and salary, there weren't many other changes.

Ye Jianchuan was in charge of the three workshops where he was the workshop director, just like before. The other two acting deputy factory directors were responsible for the remaining three workshops and logistics and warehousing, respectively.

In this way, apart from the addition of a procedure where everything has to go through the deputy factory director, there isn't much difference from before.

This extra step can even lead to a decrease in work efficiency.

But since the higher-ups have given the order, Director Zhou will do as they say. As for Ye Jianchuan, it means that since Director Zhou has made this arrangement, he will simply remain the deputy director.

So Ye Jianchuan became the deputy factory director inexplicably.

Under such circumstances, Uncle Er naturally dared not make any further moves. He wished he hadn't done those things before, because that way, when he learned that Ye Jianchuan had been promoted to deputy factory director, he could still try to curry favor with him.

Maybe with the help of Ye Jianchuan, the deputy factory director, I can climb a step further?

But that's definitely impossible now. He was already thankful that Ye Jianchuan didn't try to target him anymore, so why would he dare to go looking for trouble?

As for Ye Jianchuan, he had too many things to consider, so he didn't have time to argue with Second Uncle.

Putting everything else aside, just the matter of Ye Jianchuan's own wedding took him several months to prepare.

First, there was the issue of housing. Ye Jianchuan considered it for a while. Initially, Ye Jianchuan planned to move to the Central Courtyard. Wasn't Old Chen's house about the same size as the one he was living in now?

Why don't I just have Yan Jiecheng and his wife, who live in Old Chen's house, move to the backyard? After all, Old Chen's house is right next to He Yushui's house.

After moving here, He Yushui's room can be converted into a storage room or something similar, so she'll have another room that she can use.

However, on the one hand, moving around is really troublesome, and on the other hand, Ye Jianchuan doesn't want to move out of his old house.

So Ye Jianchuan quickly came up with another plan and started eyeing Xu Damao's house.

That's right, it's Xu Damao's house. Anyway, Xu Damao was locked up, wasn't he? Although his parents would still come to clean his house every now and then, the frequency was getting lower and lower.

Ye Jianchuan was thinking that he might as well just take over Xu Damao's house in the courtyard.

If Mr. and Mrs. Xu are willing to accept the money directly, that would be the best. If not, it doesn't matter. There is a room in the front yard that is vacant. You can try to get it.

We'll use the house in the front yard plus some cash to exchange for the house in the back yard that the Xu family owns.

After having this plan, Ye Jianchuan went directly to Mr. and Mrs. Xu. However, to Ye Jianchuan's surprise, Mr. and Mrs. Xu immediately wanted to make an exorbitant demand.

They were willing to change houses, but in addition to the change of houses and the 150 yuan price difference subsidy, they also wanted Ye Jianchuan to help arrange a job for Xu Damao.

After all, Xu Damao has been imprisoned for more than two years, and he is about to be released. However, there is a high probability that he will not be able to return to the steel rolling mill.
