Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

He will help get some food later, so it won't be a problem to get through this crisis.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the compound. I saw Liu Haizhong walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Oh! Deputy Director Pei, you're back. Let me help you push the cart." Liu Haizhong said as he grabbed the handle of the cart and snatched it from him.

Pei Guang was stunned. Maybe Liu Haizhong took the wrong medicine today!

Then he remembered the way he addressed him just now, and realized that he was trying to curry favor with him in view of his promotion.

"Second uncle, you should just call me Xiao Guang. There's no need to be so particular in the courtyard."

Liu Haizhong flattered: "How can that be possible? A leader is a leader, otherwise how can you highlight your status?"

Pei Guang was also impressed by him. Although he was not very good at other things, his level of flattery was really amazing!

He flatters in front of people and tries to curry favor with them behind their backs. He fawns on officials like a dog and is cruel and ruthless to the people. His face is completely exposed as a scoundrel, and he is destined to be a lackey in this life.

This sentence is the most appropriate to describe him. No wonder Li Huaide used him as a gun later.

"Deputy Director Pei, I heard that you have a good relationship with the factory leaders. Can you please say a good word for me?"

"You also know that I only have one hobby, which is to become a minor official."

"If it really works out, I will never go west if you say east."

Pei Guang rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. If such a person became a leader, he would be committing a serious crime.

He said perfunctorily, "Second Uncle, I'll talk to you when I have a chance, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Liu Haizhong immediately became delighted and his attitude became even more attentive.

Some neighbors saw this and sneered, saying that this is just a lackey.

Chapter 61: Visiting for help

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of girls playing in the house.

The sound is clear and pleasant, as beautiful as the sound of a spring, touching the heart.

You don’t need to ask to know that it is my sister and He Yushui. In the words of Emperor Kai, this is youth!

Perhaps she heard some noise outside the house, Pei Liyun stuck her head out to look, and sure enough, she saw her brother.

"Brother, you are finally back. Uncle Er just came to ask several times. He seems to need your help with something."

"What's particularly strange is that he kept smiling today. He looks creepy."

Pei Guang knew what was going on as soon as he thought about it. Liu Haizhong was extremely obsessed with becoming an official.

"By the way, brother, everyone says that you are now the deputy director of the cafeteria. Isn't that a very high position?"

"Hey! He's not a high-ranking official, he just got a little salary increase."

"Your brother now earns 62 yuan a month. Tomorrow is a day off so I can take you to buy new clothes for the New Year."

He Yushui, who had just walked out, heard this and looked at Pei Guang with eyes as soft as water, almost recognizing him as a brother.

If she remembered correctly, this was the fourth piece of clothing her bestie had bought this year. What the hell! The cloth coupons must have fallen from the sky!

"Wow! Bro you're so nice!"

Pei Liyun hugged his arms, her joy beyond words.

Although my brother spends money lavishly, making money is as easy as drinking water, which makes people both happy and worried.

"Brother Xiao Guang, congratulations!"

"Haha! If you two study hard, you will definitely be better than me in getting into high school or college."

The two girls had longing in their eyes, they also wanted to spend money without any scruples, and they would do their best to live such a life!

Before long, everyone in the hospital heard the news of his return and came over to inquire about the situation.

Pei Guang didn't want to say it clearly about the temporary assignment, so he just let everyone guess.

This was the first time that a leader emerged in the hospital. Everyone seemed to have a natural fear of these two words, and they behaved a little unnaturally when facing Pei Guang.

There seemed to be an extra layer of barrier between the two sides, and a sense of distance arose spontaneously.

Pei Guang was happy to see this happen. Otherwise, some people would always come to take advantage of him or cause trouble. Now he should be able to have a lot of peace.

Yi Zhonghai also noticed this and felt that the compound was out of control. He had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Haizhong actually directly proposed to vote for Pei Guang to be the fourth uncle. His purpose is self-evident.

Yan Fugui's eyes sparkled, "I think it's possible. With Deputy Director Pei's ability and status, he is qualified for this position."

The other people in the courtyard had different expressions. Most of them nodded in agreement. People like Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Jia Jia remained silent.

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Pei Guang quickly waved his hand and refused, "I don't dare to be the fourth uncle. I am not old enough and have not enough experience. It is better to let the three uncles continue to manage the compound."

He didn't want to deal with the shit in the hospital. Not only was there no benefit in doing so, but he would also be blamed if he didn't handle it well.

It's a completely thankless job, and I don't know why these three uncles care so much about it.

Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise with Pei Guang's current status, he might really have succeeded.

Seeing that he was not interested in the management of the compound, the look in their eyes softened when they looked at him.

Seeing that his flattery seemed to have backfired, Liu Haizhong quickly said, "Since Deputy Director Pei is unwilling, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it another day."

Sha Zhu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Second Uncle, I noticed today that you look so much like the little yellow-skinned kid at the entrance of the alley."

Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yi Zhonghai simply put his fist to his mouth to cover up his gaffe.

Isn’t Little Yellow the stray dog ​​who wags his tail every day to beg for food from people?

Although Shazhu's words were a bit offensive, his description was quite apt.

Liu Haizhong's face turned red with anger, "Silly Zhu, how can you say that about your elders? It's really outrageous."

"Indeed, my analogy was not appropriate. Please forgive me."

Looking at that indifferent expression, Liu Haizhong was so angry that he threw his sleeves and went home.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, the others also left one by one.

After everyone left, Yan Fugui adjusted his glasses and came to the door again.

"Deputy Director Pei..."

"Stop, just call me Xiao Guang, it sounds more comfortable."

Yan Fugui actually felt awkward, so he just went along with it and said, “Xiao Guang, Third Master wants to ask you to do something.”

"You also know that Jie Cheng hasn't found a job yet. I was thinking if your steel mill cafeteria is short of people, could you..."

In fact, with Yan Fugui's current salary of 41 yuan, plus the income from fishing, and from time to time he gets a little from others, it is not a problem for him to support a whole family.

There is nothing wrong with helping your son find a job, but nowadays there is only one job for each person, and those with money pay, while those with connections find connections.

With Pei Guang's current relationship with the factory leaders, it was not difficult for him to get a job. However, his relationship with the Yan family was only that of neighbors, so he naturally could not waste this favor in vain.

After all, it’s easy to repay a debt, but it’s hard to repay a favor!

"Uncle San, all the positions in the cafeteria are full. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sha Zhu."

"Besides, wouldn't it be easier to find an uncle for this kind of thing?"

Yan Fugui's face darkened. "I asked Lao Yi, but he refused."

Pei Guang guessed that Yi Zhonghai had the same idea as him, and they were not very close, so naturally he didn't want to use such a favor.

"Um...then you should wait for the news from the street office. I have something else to do here, so I won't keep you here."

Since they had ordered him to leave, Yan Fugui would not seek trouble and just walked away shaking his head.

......

When he got home, Yan Jiecheng and the third aunt had been waiting in the house for a long time.

"Dad, what did Pei Guang say?"

Yan Fugui sighed, "No hope, the canteen positions are full."

"Jie Cheng, Dad asked many people for help to get you this job, you have to show some appreciation."

Yan Jiecheng's face turned green. He hadn't even got the job yet, but now he was asking for benefits.

"Dad, I only make less than ten yuan a month doing odd jobs, and after paying for food and accommodation, there is not much left."

"After all, I am your biological son. There is no need to distinguish so clearly."

"You can't say that. It wasn't easy for me to raise you and send you to school. You should work to honor your parents."

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Yan Jiecheng said and ran away. He had to get himself involved in settling the score with his father.

Yan Fugui didn't care. The monk could run away, but the temple could not.

Little did he know that such calculations were gradually eroding the affection between father and son.

.........

Chapter 62: The Sticky Thing

Perhaps it is the characteristic of winter nights, the sky is bright and the ground is dark, as if the cold has blocked the light.

Pei Guang opened his eyes and looked at his watch in the moonlight coming in through the window. It was almost time for his appointment with his uncle.

After making sure the surroundings were safe, I quickly walked towards my uncle's house.

Pei Zhenrong looked around and didn't see anyone delivering food, so he asked curiously.

"Uncle, they are already nearby, but it is inconvenient for them to show up. I will bring the food over later."

After checking the surrounding environment, Pei Guang carried 500 kilograms of grain in three batches and placed them all in the cellar of his uncle's house.

Only then did he realize that he was sweating coldly. Although he had the space in his hand, it was not a good idea to use it in front of his uncle and aunt. If he was discovered, he would be caught and used as a guinea pig.

After Pei Zhenrong and his wife finished everything, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Their hearts almost jumped out of their chests just now.

It was simply too exciting. They didn't even dare to think about the consequences if such a large transaction was discovered.

"Xiao Guang, you should have paid, how much is your uncle going to give you?"

Five hundred kilograms of grain were transported, including coarse grains and fine grains. The price of grain has risen a bit during this period, and because I didn't give out grain coupons, the average price was about 240 cents per kilogram. Adding the two hundred kilograms of grain coupons, the total cost was yuan.

Pei Zhenrong did not doubt it after hearing this. He counted the money and handed it over.

The two sides did not exchange much greetings and went home to sleep.

......

Early the next morning, Pei Guang brought his toiletries to Qinghua Pool and prepared to take a comfortable bath while the water was clean in the morning.

Now, facing the gazes of a group of men, he can face it calmly.

The envy in those eyes made him even more proud. Look at this figure, these abdominal muscles, and this size. Any man would feel ashamed when seeing them.

I stretched out my foot to test the water temperature, then soaked my whole body in the water, feeling my body and mind wrapped in warmth.

The pores all over his body relaxed, leaving his mind blank.

Cool! Taking a bath in winter is so cool!

After soaking for about ten minutes, he felt someone coming to his side. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

"Hey! You two brothers are here too, why don't I see your eldest brother?"

Liu Guangtian curled his lips, "He won't come with us."

Pei Guang smiled awkwardly. Liu Guangqi did not have a very good relationship with his two younger brothers. He was so confused while taking a bath.

"Brother Guang, I heard from my dad that you promised to help him speak well of him in front of the leader?"

"Don't pay any attention to him. With the little knowledge he has, he will get into trouble sooner or later. Don't let him get you into trouble."

Pei Guang smiled with relief, thinking that his advice to this kid was not in vain.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
