Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

The three of them responded in unison.

Director Yang clapped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Director Li's summary just now is very accurate. While you enjoy the power of department leaders, you also need to fulfill your obligations, otherwise someone will take over your position at any time."

Although the policies have been improved in many aspects, there are always people who take risks and it is difficult to guard against them.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for him.

Hearing the anger in Director Yang's words, everyone's expression froze and they quickly restrained their distracted state.

Director Yang added, "I have discussed this with Deputy Director Li. We are going to make an example of this incident and the punishment will be announced via the radio. When you return to your posts later, please find time to hold a department meeting so that everyone can learn from this incident."

"Yes!"

Not long after the meeting ended, the broadcast sounded on time.

"Comrade Zhong Xiangliang from the purchasing department abused his power for personal gain during a purchase trip to the countryside. After research and decision by the factory leadership, Zhong Xiangliang will be expelled from the factory, ordered to return the embezzled money, and handed over to the judicial department for handling."

The broadcast was broadcast three times in a row, and the clear and pleasant sound reached everyone's ears.

It immediately sparked a heated discussion.

Li Weiping, who was happily preparing to sneak out of the factory, was not paying attention and crashed into the stone pillar at the factory gate with his car.

The guard at the door was stunned by the scene.

He could even ram right up against such a huge stone pillar. Could it be that he is tired of living or has lost his mind?

However, Li Weiping ignored the pain and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Oh my god! How serious a crime did Zhong Xiangliang commit to deserve such a severe punishment?

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Fortunately, he didn't dare to make this unscrupulous money, otherwise...

Two o'clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the second canteen.

More than sixty canteen workers gathered here, forming five neat rows according to the canteen.

At the front of the queue, Pei Guang cleared his throat and said loudly: "My fellow workers, you must have heard about Zhong Xiangliang's incident. The factory leader has assigned me a task and asked me to give you a serious speech on integrity."

Sha Zhu curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "Director, procurement corruption should have nothing to do with our canteen."

Ha! After being the canteen monitor for half a year, you are getting cocky now, right?

Pei Guang's eyes widened, and Sha Zhu's neck shrank in fear. He explained: "This is called using a point as a surface to warn everyone to abide by the law."

"As the saying goes, one misstep can lead to eternal regret, and a small profit can lead to a big loss. Zhong Xiangliang is the best example. The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. If you walk too much on the night road, you will always encounter ghosts..."

Pei Guang said a lot of things, and finally, "My fellow workers, I said so much not because I don't trust you, but to let you learn from it and think twice before doing anything, so as to avoid irreparable consequences."

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand!"

"Speak louder, do you understand?"

"I understand!" This time the voices were uniform and loud.

Pei Guang nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to return to their posts.

Time flies, and workers walked out of the factory in groups amidst loud singing.

It had been a long time since they last visited the old man. After get off work, Pei Guang and his wife picked up their children and rode straight to Zhao's house.

Perhaps because he had received the notice, Grandpa Zhao was waiting at the door early, raising his head and looking around.

He was wearing a clean and tidy grey T-shirt and black shorts made by his granddaughter, and he looked very energetic.

When he saw the person coming, his face was filled with wrinkles due to his uncontrollable joy.

"Xiaoze, Xiaoyan is here!" Grandpa Zhao hugged the two little ones.

Xiao Jiaze: "Hello, great-grandfather!"

Little Jiayan: "Great Grandfather!"

Grandpa Zhao: "Okay, okay, look, great-grandfather has prepared some small gifts for you."

He reached behind his back and two tumblers appeared on his palms. They were eggshell-shaped, with two pink paper hats on their heads and a vivid and cute smiling face on the front. They were swaying but never falling, which was very interesting.

The two little guys immediately became interested and stared at it with their big eyes.

Little Jiayan: "Grandpa, what is this?"

Grandpa Zhao stroked his beard and said happily, "This is called a tumbler. Does Xiaoyan like it?"

"I like it. Hello, great grandpa. Give Xiaoyan a gift..."

The cute way the baby spoke in a baby voice made Grandpa Zhao so happy that he couldn't help but give her a kiss.

"Giggle!"

Little Jiaze was more interested in playing. He tilted his head and asked, "Grandpa, how do you play with this?"

Grandpa Zhao put the tumbler on the ground and said, "Xiao Ze, look at how great-grandfather plays."

He just stretched out his hand and gave a gentle push, and the tumbler shook violently, and gradually returned to its standing position.

Little Jiaze followed suit and played with it twice, and then he completely fell in love with this toy.

"Great Grandpa, this is so fun!"

Zhao Maimai seemed a little jealous, wrinkled her nose, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, where did you learn these things? You have never made them for me before."

Before Grandpa Zhao could answer, he heard the neighbor uncle next to him say, "Maimai, your grandpa saw Xiao Ming playing with this thing a few days ago, and secretly learned how to do it. He said he wanted to make a toy for the two children."

Grandpa Zhao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

The two little guys are so well-behaved and cute, what's wrong with being nice to them.

Pei Guang couldn't help but secretly complain when he saw this. They say that the relationship between generations is close, but the relationship between two generations is the real relationship.

Chapter 222: Acquire Another Siheyuan

As a few people were chatting and laughing, a noisy quarrel suddenly broke out, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense.

"Grandpa, what happened in the central courtyard? It seemed like there was quite a quarrel." Zhao Maimai raised her eyebrows, with a hint of curiosity on her pretty face.

"Ugh!"

Grandpa Zhao sighed deeply, "Your uncle Qian has a tumor in his stomach and urgently needs a large sum of money for surgery, but the family can't afford it. The eldest son said he wanted to sell his ear room to pay for the treatment, but the youngest son disagreed, and they had a huge argument."

Money is something outside of your body. If you lose it, you can always earn it again, but you only have one life.

Zhao Maimai found it hard to understand. In such an emergency, shouldn’t the two brothers work together?

Pei Guang's mind suddenly moved, "Grandpa, how big is their house? Is it a private property?"

Grandpa Zhao didn't understand, but he still answered truthfully: "The house is a little smaller than ours, about 20 square meters, and it was passed down from their ancestors."

Pei Guang was overjoyed. "Grandpa, I want to buy this house. Why don't you come with me to talk to me about it?"

You have to know that within the second ring road of the old city, any courtyard house would be worth at least several million in the future.

The opportunity passed by like a cloud, fleeting in a flash, and he didn't want to miss it.

Uh......

Grandpa Zhao was a little surprised. The Pei family had so many houses that they could no longer accommodate everyone, and now they wanted to buy another one?

It's a waste of money!

Well, with an income of one or two hundred yuan a month, it is not unreasonable to be so arrogant.

Seeing that his granddaughter seemed to be completely dependent on a man, Grandpa Zhao no longer hesitated and led everyone to the central courtyard.

When we arrived at the Qian family, we could see that the two brothers who were quarreling were not very old, probably in their twenties, in the prime of their lives.

The older brother is Qian Wen and the younger brother is Qian Wu.

The house is about 20 square meters in area. Over the years, the yellowed walls look like an old oil painting, and there are several potholes visible to the naked eye.

The old furniture was like an old man full of wrinkles. Just as Grandpa Zhao had said, the Qian family had indeed reached the end of their rope.

When the two brothers heard Pei Guang's purpose, their expressions changed immediately.

Qian Wen's face was filled with joy. Everyone in the courtyard knew that Zhao's son-in-law was an official and very wealthy, so a few hundred dollars was no problem at all for him.

Qian Wu looked at me with a frown and roared, "Get out of here! I will never sell my house."

Pei Guang ignored his vulgar words and said to his brother, "Brother Qian Wen, the house should be under Uncle Qian's name. I wonder what his attitude is?"

Qian Wen quickly replied: "My father has already agreed to this this afternoon. As long as you pay 280 yuan, this house will be yours."

After saying that, he glared at his brother.

This price was reasonable, and Pei Guang had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. "I'll go to the hospital with you, and then ask Uncle Qian to write a mortgage document, and the money will be in your account immediately."

Qian Wen no longer hesitated when he heard this. He ignored his brother's shouting and scolding and pulled Pei Guang out.

Grandpa Zhao was stunned. Nearly three hundred yuan was spent just like that?

It's not like you're buying cabbage, so at least blink your eyes.

"Grandpa, I will be back in about an hour. Please let Mai Mai wait for me here." Before leaving, Pei Guang did not forget to say something to his grandfather.

"Okay, go and come back soon, we'll be waiting for you to come back for dinner."

"Got it!"

When they arrived at the ward, Uncle Qian, whose face was pale, recognized Pei Guang at a glance.

After hearing the intention, although he was reluctant, he still resolutely wrote the mortgage document.

The most important thing is to save his life, he hasn’t lived enough in this life.

The other party was straightforward, so Pei Guang naturally didn't waste time and counted out twenty-eight big unity cards on the spot and sent them over.

Qian Wen was secretly shocked by this scene. Comparing himself with others is really frustrating. When will he have the chance to spend money recklessly like this?

Although I know Pei Guang is rich, isn't he afraid of being coveted when he carries so much money with him?

Walking out of the hospital and facing the breeze, I felt a sense of joy.

As fate would have it, another property is about to be acquired. It feels so wonderful to make money without doing anything.

When they returned to the Zhao family, a table of hot food had already been prepared. The fragrant aroma of the food filled the entire room, and they were just waiting for Pei Guang to come back for dinner.

Upon learning that things were going well, Zhao Maimai just smiled and didn't say much.

Grandpa Zhao was full of doubts, "Xiao Guang, you already have three houses, why are you still thinking about buying a house?"

Pei Guang didn't think twice and directly said what he had already thought of: "Grandpa, I just thought that the house at home is too small, so I planned to let you move in."

"Hey! No need to bother. Guangming and I are fine living here." Grandpa Zhao quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Everything is fine now. When Guangming gets married in a few years, you can't continue to squeeze in with them."

"this......"

Grandpa Zhao was silent for a moment. He had expected this. At worst, he could just rent a house.

But this opportunity is quite good right now. There are more rooms in the yard, so it would be better to be closer to my grandchildren. We can take care of each other and help take care of my great-grandchildren.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Guang, Guangming has been working for so long and has saved up about 150 yuan. This house can be considered as Guangming's purchase, and I will pay you the rest in installments."

Zhao Guangming nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I will slowly make up the remaining amount in the future."

Pei Guang felt bitter. He had finally come across the opportunity to buy a house, and he didn't want to give it away, even to his brother-in-law.

So he persuaded him again: "Guangming, you should save this money first, and buy some big things for the family, so that you can use it when you marry a wife. Besides, I make money faster than you, so let grandpa live in this house without worry, just consider it as me and Mai Mai showing filial piety."

Zhao Maimai suddenly felt sweet in her heart, as if she was stepping on soft cotton, and every step was filled with soft happiness.

Tenderness flooded in her beautiful eyes, turning into a hazy mist and spreading in all directions.

A woman who marries a man should obey him. In fact, men have no obligation to do so. It is obvious that he loves her so much that he is willing to make sacrifices for her.

Wuuwuwu! What should I do? I really want to pounce on him right now.

"Grandpa, the value of the house won't depreciate anyway, so you can live here with peace of mind." After calming down a little, Zhao Maimai also joined the persuasion team.

Seeing his granddaughter and grandson-in-law say this, Grandpa Zhao was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he nodded and agreed.

I never thought that I could still enjoy such a peaceful life in my old age. This life is worthwhile.
