Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Tian Youliang had obviously rehearsed it several times. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully, and called out "Grandma".

"Oh! Youliang will be grandma's good grandson from now on." Tian Guiying responded happily and couldn't help crying with joy.

"Good!" There was immediate applause from the audience.

"Sister Tian now has hope in the future."

"Youliang is a good child. Guiying will be blessed in the future."

No matter what they felt in their hearts, everyone gave their sincere blessings at this time.

Yi Zhonghai kept smiling from beginning to end, without any sign of grudge at all.

He seemed really happy for his ex-wife.

After a short pause, Tian Guiying wiped her tears and announced, "Then let's eat."

Isn't this what the neighbors were waiting for? As soon as the words fell, the shadows of chopsticks flashed by.

"Mm! This poached chicken is super delicious, plump and tender."

"Yes, I almost swallowed my tongue."

"Oh my god! The tofu is so delicious. Brother Guang is amazing."

......

Over the years, only a handful of neighbors have truly tasted Pei Guang's cooking.

It was the first time for everyone to know what delicious food was.

With Shazhu's skills, he's not even qualified to carry other people's shoes.

Of course, everyone just thinks about this in their mind, and it is not a good idea to slap someone in the face.

Listening to the compliments from his neighbors, Pei Guang just smiled and said, "As long as everyone likes it, there are still three more dishes to come, so don't eat too much."

"Hahaha! Always ready."

It is worth mentioning that this wedding banquet was exceptionally harmonious, but it always felt like something was missing. At first glance, it turned out that the old hag, Jia Zhang, was not there, and it was Qin Huairu who represented the Jia family.

Without that shameless and aggressive food snatcher, people wouldn't have to fight over a piece of food.

Qin Huairu listened to the many mocking voices against her mother-in-law, but she turned a deaf ear to them and stared at the increasingly clean plates.

I had been planning to find an excuse to pack up some leftovers to take back, but then I saw everyone wolfing down the food, almost licking the bottom of the plate clean.

Well! After all, she expected too much.

Since he couldn't take it away, he couldn't let others get it for free, so he immediately joined the army of people grabbing food.

After the wedding banquet, Pei Guang took a red envelope of five yuan and went home with a few lunch boxes.

No pain no gain.

After being busy with two wedding banquets, I was a little tired, but I earned a full thirteen yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary person.

At nine o'clock, Zhao Maimai's warbler-like voice suddenly came from outside the house, breaking the harmonious atmosphere among the father and his two sons.

"Xiao Ze, Xiao Yan, come here quickly, the mother rabbit is giving birth to little rabbits."

Hearing this, the two little guys' eyes lit up immediately. They climbed out of bed at once, put on their little slippers, and ran outside dancing with joy.

Pei Guang had anticipated this, and out of curiosity, he also stepped out.

The mother rabbit was restless early this morning. She frantically pulled out her fur with her mouth to build a warm nest. Isn't this a sign that the baby rabbit is about to give birth?

For this purpose, he put a cardboard box in the rabbit cage and filled it with hay, which was perfect as a nest for the baby rabbits.

When I left the house, I saw two rabbit cages standing at the foot of the wall.

Since the mother rabbit became pregnant, Pei Guang specially built a rabbit cage to control the breeding frequency of the rabbits.

Under the expectant gaze of the two little guys, Zhao Maimai opened one of the rabbit cages and carefully took out the cardboard box.

What caught my eye were eight bright red baby rabbits, with their eyes closed, just like little mice.

Haha! Eight rabbits in one litter, the production capacity is pretty good.

In addition, there were a lot of blood stains in the haystack, which was the great proof of the mother rabbit's childbirth.

Chapter 220 Asking Someone to Investigate Secretly

Afterwards, Zhao Maimai skillfully cleaned the rabbit nest and replaced it with a pile of hay to keep it clean and dry. Then she fed the mother rabbit some grass and carrots to replenish the energy consumed by childbirth.

Xiao Jiaze never took his eyes off the bunny from beginning to end. For some reason, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Mom, the baby bunny is so ugly!"

Xiao Jiayan also said: "The bunny is not pretty, the round one is prettier."

Pei Guang chuckled. As expected, face control knows no age limit.

"Xiao Ze, Xiao Yan, all baby bunnies look like this when they are born. They will become prettier in a few days."

"Oh!"

The two little guys suddenly understood and began to observe the baby rabbit with great interest again.

At the same time, neighbors gradually noticed the situation here and gathered around curiously.

Second Aunt: "Wow! Eight babies were born at once, that's great. Xiao Guang, you promised to give me one last time..."

Yu Li: "Brother Guang, my rabbit cage is ready."

Pei Guang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Hey! I've remembered them all. When the little rabbits are weaned, you can pick any one you want."

They are not rare, an adult female rabbit can give birth to at least 6 litters a year, which shows their reproductive capacity. But when there are too many rabbits, the rabbit cage becomes stretched, and he wishes someone could share a few more.

......

Another week has passed.

That afternoon, buyer Zhong Xiangliang came to Pei Guang's office again and handed in a purchase order.

Pei Guang took a quick look and saw that the purchase performance was among the best in the same category. Of course, the purchase price was higher than that of the peers as expected, but it was not beyond the limit.

He signed his name calmly, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. With a "whoosh", the match was lit and he began to puff out smoke with skillful movements.

"Purchasing Manager Zhong, your purchasing performance in the past two months is really good. Keep up the hard work. The factory needs good comrades like you."

Zhong Xiangliang raised his lips slightly and said modestly, "Director Pei, thank you for your praise. I will continue to work hard and make more contributions to the factory."

To be honest, judging from his appearance alone, Pei Guang had a pretty good impression of this man.

He is in his early forties, with a square face and an inexplicable affinity beneath his mature features, which makes him perfectly suitable for this kind of social position.

"Not bad!"

"By the way, if you encounter any difficulties in your work or life in the future, you can tell me or your Chief Wei. The factory will definitely give priority to talents like you with outstanding performance." Pei Guang blew out a smoke ring and said sincerely.

Zhong Xiangliang smiled even more. "Thank you Director Pei for your concern. I really have something I want to ask you for help with. The bicycle assigned to me by the factory is a bit old, and it is quite inconvenient to go to the countryside to purchase one. If I can get a new one... I can make more contributions to the factory."

Pei Guang waved his hand and said generously: "This is a small matter. Go to the logistics department to find Director Liang and tell him that I agree to this matter."

Zhong Xiangliang was overjoyed and immediately promised to provide better service to the factory.

Not long after he left, the office door was knocked again and another buyer, Li Weiping, came in.

Also here to submit a purchase order.

The two once went to the countryside to purchase goods together, and by chance, Pei Guang saved their lives.

Pei Guang had an idea, and after signing, he pulled him aside to chat, which was unusual for him.

"Purchasing Manager Li, you and Zhong Xiangliang are colleagues in the Purchasing Department. You should have a good relationship with him, right?"

Li Weiping was confused and said bluntly: "He and I are not in the same purchasing team, and we are competitors. We don't communicate much on a daily basis."

He doesn't have good relationships and often goes to the countryside, so he is a suitable candidate.

Pei Guang hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly: "Purchaser Li, I would like to ask you for a favor. Go to Qinjia Village and ask about the purchase price of these meats."

Li Weiping was shocked. You know, the factory buyers are divided into fixed areas, and crossing the line is a violation of industry regulations.

Generally speaking, competitors in the same region belong to different state-owned enterprises. Suddenly asking him to go to Qinjia Village and touch upon Zhong Xiangliang's territory makes people doubt the intention.

Asking about the purchase price? Could it be that Zhong Xiangliang was secretly doing something fishy and someone had reported it to the factory?

"Director Pei, this is inappropriate. If Zhong Xiangliang finds out, it might cause a dispute."

Pei Guang didn't care at all. "You can use some tricks and ask two villagers about the price. I don't want you to really buy it. Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, no one will know about it."

After hearing this, Li Weiping became more certain of his guess.

This wouldn't take much effort, and Pei Guang was a leading cadre who had saved his life, so it was natural for him to do this small favor.

After Li Weiping left, Pei Guangshen let out a breath as he looked at the lush greenery outside the window.

Hopefully it wasn't what he thought.

After all, as one of the eight major personnel, a purchasing agent is a job that is full of benefits, and there is no need to touch the bottom line of the law.

......

Two days later, Li Weiping returned from the countryside again and had already found out the purchasing prices of several types of meat.

A brief comparison shows that different buyers from the same production team gave completely different prices.

For the same piece of pork, one sells for 73 cents and the other sells for 79 cents. Although the difference is not big, it adds up to a considerable income.

There is no doubt that Zhong Xiangliang and the village party secretary secretly colluded to forge purchase lists and embezzle state-owned assets.

Pei Guang took out a cigarette box, handed a cigarette to Li Weiping, and started smoking silently.

"Purchasing Li, Zhong Xiangliang has been doing purchasing for so many years, he should be living a good life."

Li Weiping paused for a moment and said, "I heard that he has a happy life. I remember that he has three sons and a daughter. His eldest son got married last month."

From this perspective, it is not due to financial difficulties, but simply due to greed.

Those who are diligent and honest will live a peaceful life, while those who are greedy will destroy their own lives. People always have to pay for their mistakes.

Besides, if he leaves it alone and investigates thoroughly, he, as the canteen director, will be held jointly responsible.

Afterwards, Pei Guang sorted out the purchase list and brought the investigation results to Li Huaide's office.

"Made!"

After hearing the whole story, Li Huaide's face turned dark and he couldn't help but swear.

After all, it was the logistics department under his charge that had experienced corruption.

Over two months, the total purchase price difference was more than ten yuan. Fortunately, the amount was small, so this incident was used as a warning to others.

"Xiao Pei, you did a good job in this matter. The factory will make relevant penalties later." Li Huaide said with a forced smile.

Pei Guang added at the right time: "Director, I hope that the external explanation is that the factory has received a letter of complaint, so that no one will feel resentful and take irrational revengeful actions."

The human heart is unpredictable. Some people blame all the faults on others even though they have done something wrong.

Li Huaide readily agreed: "I will take care of this little problem."

Chapter 221: Catch a typical example as a warning

Afterwards, Li Huaide called the Red Star Commune to explain the purchasing incident of the Qinjia Village Production Team.

Sure enough, after a thorough investigation, the procurement scam was further confirmed.

The arrest operation was then officially launched.

Seeing that the truth was exposed and the evidence was conclusive, Zhong Xiangliang and the village party secretary confessed to the corruption in despair.

After hunting geese all day, he was finally blinded by a goose. But this day came too suddenly.

The next morning.

In the conference room of the steel rolling mill, a group of more than a dozen leading cadres, big and small, sat around.

Director Yang took a sip of tea and spoke first: "I called you all here today because something not so glorious happened in the factory. Now, Deputy Director Li will explain it in detail."

Li Huaide raised his eyebrows and calmly recounted what had happened.

"Although this incident is not a big deal, it is a glimpse into the whole picture. No one knows how many such incidents there are in secret. I hope everyone will take this as a warning, especially the leaders of the three departments of logistics, procurement, and canteen. They must carefully review and approve procurement documents to prevent problems from happening.
