Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Don't worry, he will be informed of the news immediately. His aunt works in the Women's Federation. I will ask her to go back and inform him," Li Huaide said to Wang Cheng.

"His eldest aunt? Zhang Cuihua from the Women's Federation?" Wang Cheng asked in surprise.

"If not her, then who else could it be?" Li Huaide smiled and asked someone to call Zhang Cuihua over. He and Wang Cheng came to his office.

"Cuihua, this is Chief Engineer Wang Cheng, the uncle of Liu Mei in your office," Li Huaide introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, Chief Engineer Wang, cousin, do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhang Cuihua asked. She was a little nervous facing the two deputy factory directors.

"Let me ask you a question. Can Zhuzi make a fish feast?" Li Huaide asked.

"Yes, Zhuzi is so smart and can do everything. He has made it twice and it is delicious," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Give him a message and ask him to find a time to arrange a table. Chief Engineer Wang and Deputy Director Liu want to try it. Together with Director Yang, Director Xu and I, there will be five of us," said Li Huaide.

"No problem, cousin. The pillars have been climbed? Didn't you say they were engaging in nepotism?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"A deputy director at the vice-section level still needs to engage in nepotism. Go back and inform him," said Li Huaide.

"Old Li, I always feel that something big is going to happen. People nowadays are too impetuous," said Wang Cheng.

"The storm is brewing, so we just need to guard our own piece of land. Is the product quality stable now? You have to pay attention to the things mentioned above. There is no smoke without fire," Li Huaide instructed Wang Cheng.

"We're well prepared. We've basically got all the Russian drawings," Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"That's good. It's always good to do more work. I heard that the Russians have some continuous casting equipment. One machine can produce hundreds of tons in one night?" Li Huaide asked Wang Cheng.

"Really? Not only the Russians have it, but also the Beautifuls, the West, and the Japs. Our own equipment is being tested in Shanghai. I heard that it was successful. We don't know when it can be officially put into use." Wang Cheng also sighed.

"Our skills are not as good as others. When can we get one?" Li Huaide said with a sigh.

"Wait, it's your turn, but we don't know when it will be." Wang Cheng also sighed.

At this time, the factory radio sounded: "Notice, notice on the appointment of Comrade He Yuzhu as deputy director of the canteen. Comrade He Yuzhu, male, 52 years old, joined the factory in March 3, and served as the team leader of the small canteen since May 56. Comrade He Yuzhu has superb cooking skills, works seriously, respects leaders, unites colleagues, has strong execution ability, and has completed the factory's reception tasks with high standards many times. After research and discussion by the factory director's office, it was decided to appoint Comrade He Yuzhu as deputy director of the canteen, in charge of the work of the small canteen."

The broadcast was repeated three times. Now it was almost time to get off work, and all the workers in the factory had heard the broadcast.

Chapter 235: Liu Haizhong fainted

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. When the announcement of He Yuzhu's promotion was broadcast, Peng Yong couldn't believe his ears. The factory leaders had no shame at all. Are they so blatantly engaging in nepotism? He Yuzhu is a relative of Deputy Factory Director Li. Now the news has spread all over the factory. Doesn't that person know? You guys are not going to back up people? This is too much bullying for an honest man. I'll go find the factory director. Peng Yong got up and went to the office building.

Xu Damao from the Propaganda Department heard the news of He Yuzhu's promotion and was full of envy. He thought that after many years of being a daughter-in-law, He Yuzhu finally became a mother-in-law. It would be great if she could make further progress. His relationship with He Yuzhu has improved a lot now. Without Yi Zhonghai's instigation, the two have never had any conflicts.

Liu Haizhong was doing the final cleaning in the workshop toilet. After finishing this cleaning, he would be able to go home after get off work. Liu Guangqi's departure had hurt Liu Haizhong a lot. He thought he was very partial to his eldest son, but he didn't expect such a result.

At this time, a broadcast sounded, and Director Liu of the forging workshop and workshop technician Ding Cheng came to the toilet. "Who is He Yuzhu?" Ding Cheng asked Director Liu.

"He Yuzhu is Shazhu, the one in the cafeteria with a sharp tongue?" Director Liu said to Ding Cheng.

"Can Sha Zhu be the deputy director?" Ding Cheng couldn't believe it.

"Deputy Director Li is his relative, haven't you heard? Everyone in the factory knows that?" Director Liu explained to Ding Cheng.

"That's crazy!" Ding Cheng replied, and then the two of them started to urinate.

Liu Haizhong heard the conversation between the two. Sha Zhu became deputy director? He had worked in the factory from before liberation to after liberation, trained countless talents, and he was a senior technical worker of level 7, but he was not promoted. Why should a fool be promoted?

The news of He Yuzhu's promotion was a greater shock to Liu Haizhong than Liu Guangqi's departure. At this time, Liu Haizhong's eyes were red and he shouted "Why?"

His loud shout made the two people who were about to urinate pee in their pants. "Liu Haizhong, why are you yelling?" Director Liu scolded him.

But Liu Haizhong seemed not to hear it and continued to shout, "Why? Why?... I don't accept it, I don't accept it...", and then fell into the urinal.

Director Liu and Ding Cheng looked at each other and wondered if Liu Haizhong was crazy as he was still shouting "why" in the urinal.

As workshop managers, the two men wanted to pull Liu Haizhong out of the urinal, but Liu Haizhong was too fat, and Ding Cheng was knocked down by Liu Haizhong and got soaked.

"Liu Haizhong, I'm a ***" Ding Cheng cursed.

But Liu Haizhong still didn't respond and kept asking why.

"Damn it!" Director Liu cursed and called a few workers from the workshop. They pulled Liu Haizhong up, washed him with water, reported to Deputy Director Liu, and sent Liu Haizhong to the hospital.

Of course, Zhang Cuihua from the Women's Federation also heard the news of He Yuzhu's promotion, but she just smiled because she had known about the news a long time ago.

"Sister Hua, isn't Deputy Director He your brother-in-law? Aren't you happy for him?" Qian Ying asked.

"He is my brother-in-law, a deputy director at the deputy section chief level. What is there to be happy about?" Zhang Cuihua replied indifferently.

"Sister Hua, you can't even see the deputy section chief?" Liu Mei asked.

"Of course not. I just think it's a pity that he has been blocked from advancing over the years. Otherwise, he would be at least a level 5 chef. This is what several senior leaders said, leaders at the county and department level and above," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Is there such a thing?" Qian Ying asked.

"That's right. Zhuzi had offended the canteen director Huang in the past. He never registered He Yuzhu for every promotion exam," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Being jealous of others' talents is really a shame," Liu Mei also echoed.

Peng Yong ran all the way to the office building. Before he reached the third floor, he was stopped by Hu Kexue on the second floor. "Peng Yong, you're here at the right time. I'm just asking someone to notify you. Come to my office and I'll tell you about the job transfer."

"Chief Hu, is my job transferred?" Peng Yong asked.

"Yes, you have been transferred to the spare parts warehouse. This was discussed at the factory director's office meeting this morning," said Hu Kexue.

"What are you going to do in the spare parts warehouse?" Peng Yong's heart sank. "You'll still be the squad leader, but you won't have to manage people. The job will be much easier than it is now. Okay, sign here, take the transfer order, and report to Director Gu within three days." Hu Kexue completed the formalities for Peng Yong.

Peng Yong no longer had the heart to look for the factory director. He felt as if an invisible hand was strangling his neck and he was almost suffocating.

"Hu Kexue, let me die knowing clearly, who did I offend?" Peng Yong asked.

"Old Peng, I asked you to say this. You haven't offended anyone. It's just that you are too smart and the factory managers don't dare to use you. Old Peng, to be honest, if you didn't do these little tricks, you would have a 60% chance of being the deputy director. Since you did these things, you would have been excluded first. You'd better take care of yourself," Hu Kexue explained to him.

"Chief Hu, it's a huge injustice. I didn't do anything tricky, really." Peng Yong thought of the rumors. Among the four candidates, he was the only one who had no rumors. He originally thought that he was clean and others didn't find any problems with him. But now he thinks that's not the case. The factory managers believe that he was the one who spread the rumors.

"Old Peng, I believe what you say, but the factory managers don't. Go to the spare parts warehouse and work hard." Hu Kexue advised Peng Yong when he saw his expression.

"Yang Yonghao, damn it" Peng Yong thought subconsciously, the second-ranked candidate, you, a man who has cooked for the puppet army, dare to frame me, this big fool gets the upper hand, it's really infuriating.

Yang Yonghao was not angry because he knew that he came from a poor family and could not even think about being the deputy director. It did not matter to him who became the deputy director.

Huang Shengli is the most unhappy person when He Yuzhu becomes the deputy director, because he has a very bad relationship with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu is a capable person with a sharp tongue, who has often embarrassed Huang Shengli in public, so Huang Shengli stopped him from getting promoted. Now the conflict between the two is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, Director Liu was the mediator, but now Deputy Director Liu has retired, and He Yuzhu is going to partner with Huang Shengli. The key is that he and Deputy Director Li are relatives, so this is not going to be easy, and Huang Shengli has to find a middleman to talk to him.

Huang Shengli kept thinking about getting off work in the office. He thought of his good brother Tian Qiming. Tian Qiming used to be Zhang Cuihua's leader, and Zhang Cuihua was He Yuzhu's aunt. Director Tian should have face. Huang Shengli had an idea in his mind and a smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 236 Zhang Cuihua's Strategy

It was time to get off work. Although He Yuzhu had not returned home yet, the news that he had become the deputy director had already spread back to No. 95 Courtyard. The neighbors were not surprised by this, but felt it was natural because Deputy Director Li Huaide was now his relative, and people in No. 95 Courtyard had already known this news.

He Yuzhu now rides a bicycle to work with Huang Xinsheng, while Zhang Lianhua walks with her daughter and Zhang Cuihua. "Brother Zhuzi, congratulations," Huang Xinsheng congratulated He Yuzhu.

"Xinsheng, thanks to everyone's help, let's go to the market, buy some delicious food, and go home to celebrate," said He Yuzhu.

"Okay, are there any good ones at this time? Let's go and take a look." Huang Xinsheng replied, and he and He Yuzhu went to the market.

He Yuzhu was lucky today. He went to the market to find an acquaintance and bought a bunch of bones and some vegetables.

"Brother Zhuzi, the vegetables across the yard have grown up. You can just pick them yourself. Why spend money on this?" Huang Xinsheng stopped He Yuzhu when he saw him spending money to buy vegetables.

"We don't have this kind in the courtyard. Go home and boil the bones and ask Dongxu to make some noodles, pork bone noodles. Has your goose laid eggs?" He Yuzhu asked.

"It's started laying, one egg every two days. Brother Damao and Dongxu shared one. I don't know who told them that eating goose eggs is good for the baby in a pregnant woman's belly. Brother Damao agreed. You're less than a month old, is this helpful?" Huang Xinsheng said.

"I've heard about it too. This is what the elders said. It should be useful. How about I also buy two geese?" He Yuzhu said seriously.

"Okay, with more geese, they will lay more eggs. You are married now, so maybe you will need them soon," Huang Xinsheng teased He Yuzhu.

"I can't let Xu Damao fall behind me," He Yuzhu said confidently.

The two walked back while talking.

At the gate of No. 95 Courtyard, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua were talking about He Yuzhu's promotion. When they saw He Yuzhu and Huang Xinsheng coming back, they hurried over to help carry the bicycles.

"Director He, you're back?" Yan Bugui greeted.

"Uncle San, please forgive me. How can I bear you calling me like that? You can call me Zhuzi or Shazhu," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"That won't work. You are a cadre now," Yan Bugui said quickly.

"Cadres don't have neighbors? You are a teacher and also the manager of the courtyard, so it's very appropriate to call you Zhuzi," He Yuzhu said seriously.

"It's still called a pillar," said Yan Bugui.

"Just call him Zhuzi," He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui said, and continued walking towards the backyard.

"Zhu Zi, have you really become a cadre?" Jia Dongxu was squatting at the door. When he saw He Yuzhu and Huang Xinsheng coming back, he immediately went to greet them.

"Did you call him Zhuzi? Call me uncle." When Zhang Cuihua heard her son calling He Yuzhu, she slapped Jia Dongxu twice on the back.

"Mom, I told him I would call him uncle after the wedding, but he hasn't paid me for changing his name yet," Jia Dongxu said to his mother.

"Bullshit, how old are you? You are two years older than Zhuzi, why do you want money to change your statement?" Zhang Cuihua continued to fight after hearing what Jia Dongxu said.

"I'll give it to you, right now," He Yuzhu said as he took out a dollar. Jia Dongxu snatched it away, put it in his pocket, and called him "Uncle".

"Brother Zhuzi, you have to always carry some money with you in the future. You know Dongxu. You don't know when the change of name fee will expire. When it expires, he will call your name. You just need to pay the additional money consciously then," said Zhang Dabao with a smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard what Zhang Dabao said.

"This bastard!" Zhang Cuihua cursed Jia Dongxu.

"I'll go cook the bones, Dongxu, go roll the noodles. We'll have pork bone noodles today." He Yuzhu called Jia Dongxu over again.

After dinner, Zhang Cuihua conveyed to He Yuzhu the intention of Li Huaide and others to have a fish banquet. He Yuzhu of course agreed. Zhang Dabao also promised to catch fish as soon as possible so that they could eat it the day after tomorrow. He also lent Chunfeng Hutong to He Yuzhu as the venue for the banquet.

It’s not cold outside at night anymore, and since there is ice at home, lying at home is much better than lying anywhere else.

After they left, Zhang Dabao went back to the house and sat on a chair to read. After a while, Zhang Cuihua and He Yuzhu came in.

"Da Biao, Liu Lan helped a lot with the Zhuzi matter. Do you think we can invite him and your cousin to dinner? We have helped her before," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Of course I have to invite you. Without Liu Lan, would these rumors have spread so quickly? By the way, how did you take down Yang Yonghao?" Zhang Dabao did not participate in the plan of the two, so he did not understand the process.

"Yang Yonghao himself didn't want to be promoted. He worked as a cook for the puppet army and his history is unclear. We told Liu Lan about these things, and Liu Lan told his cousin. As long as the leaders confirm that it was Peng Yongsan's information, and the cousin tells us about Yang Yonghao's historical problems, Zhuzi's matter will be settled," Zhang Cuihua said with a smile.

"How can you be so sure that the leaders will believe the rumors spread by Peng Yong?" Zhang Dabao asked Zhang Cuihua again.

"This is too simple. Whoever benefits is the first suspect. Everyone knows this. Do the leaders have time to investigate such a thing? They just don't want anyone to become a cadre by using tricks. Whoever becomes the deputy director will have what impact on the factory directors? Whether it's Peng Yong or He Yuzhu, how big can the difference be? Besides, everyone knows that He Yuzhu is a relative of Deputy Director Li. What's wrong with other factory directors doing him a favor? Zhuzi and you are direct relatives. Everyone knows that you are capable. Don't the factory directors know it better? We just need to provide an excuse," Zhang Cuihua analyzed the situation to Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabiao was stunned after hearing what Zhang Cuihua said. This was too cruel. Was this his big shrew cousin? This wisdom was not inferior to Yi Zhonghai's? Why didn't she show it before? Did the No. 95 Courtyard restrict her development?
