Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Chapter 120 Yi Zhonghai takes in the Jia family

Qin Huairu was not satisfied with this. After looking around, her eyes fixed on Xu Damao.

Then he smiled bitterly and thanked Yan Fugui.

After all, the factory is quite far away, and moving back and forth is really troublesome.

We have to find Yi Zhonghai!

The matter came to an end here, and with Yan Fugui's announcement, the full-court meeting officially ended.

After the neighbors dispersed and went home, they continued to talk about it.

After this meeting, the neighbors felt as if they had never recognized this compound.

In the past, Pei Guang had always been approachable, which gave everyone the illusion that he was easy to talk to. But now he showed his strong and overbearing side, and when he got serious, he even scolded Yi Zhonghai.

Only then did everyone realize that he was the deputy director of the factory and had the confidence to not give face to Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter.

It’s not the same for others. If you anger Yi Zhonghai, he will make things difficult for you.

It seems that I have to pay attention to my attitude when getting along with the Pei family in the future.

What Pei Guang said today also caused everyone to think deeply.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai was regarded as a good guy by everyone, always helping the disadvantaged groups.

Recalling the past, everyone was shocked to realize that he had always just talked or encouraged others to help, but he had never really contributed anything.

Well...it's not that he didn't. He used to be pretty nice to his apprentice's family, and you could occasionally see him sending things over there.

By the way, he also donated ten dollars at that donation meeting.

This makes it even more difficult for everyone to figure out what kind of person he is.

......

After returning home, Zhao Maimai poured a glass of water for the man, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.

The man was so handsome just now, and he was so domineering when he was talking to people.

It was the first time she saw this side of a man. Woohoo! Why did she like him more and more the more she saw him?

"Brother Guang, we had a falling out with an old man today. How are we going to get along with him in the future?"

Pei Guang took a sip of water and waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all. "Let's just stop being friends. How dare you bully my Mai Mai? From now on, I'll just pretend I don't see this family anymore."

Anyway, he had been unhappy with Yi Junzi for a long time, so he took this opportunity to draw a clear line between them.

"What! What!"

Zhao Maimai smiled as bright as a flower, and was touched by the man's seductive words. She couldn't help but move forward and kiss him twice.

"By the way, Brother Guang, I saw you bought so many tiles. Are you planning to use them to repair the roof?"

"Well! We never know when it will rain. Let's buy some materials tomorrow and repair the roof as soon as possible."

Only then did Zhao Maimai realize that the man could also do bricklaying. She was also seeing stars. How could there be such an all-round man!

......

After Yi Zhonghai returned home, he drank two glasses of cold water, which slightly calmed his anger.

"Bang!" He slammed the table hard, as if he didn't feel the pain.

"That's ridiculous. He's just a deputy director. Why is he so arrogant?"

The aunt sighed and advised: "Zhong Hai, there is no need for you to fall out with Xiao Guang over the Jia family's affairs."

"We are all neighbors, why bother!"

Yi Zhonghai picked up a fan and fanned himself, saying with a gloomy face: "It's not that I want to break up, but didn't you hear how badly he cursed?

"The Jia family has no place to live now. The Pei family has the most rooms in the courtyard. What's wrong with squeezing into their house?"

"To be convenient to others is to be convenient to yourself."

The aunt knew that the man was a bit stubborn, and seeing that she couldn't convince him, she just went to boil water.

Tian Dake said nothing from beginning to end. He was now living under someone else's roof and adhered to the principle of being cautious in his words and actions, so naturally he would not say anything that would offend others.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with helping the weak, but one must always respect other people's wishes.

In his opinion, Yi Zhonghai's behavior today was indeed a bit aggressive.

Pei Guang's behavior was a bit extreme, and there might be some inside story that he didn't know.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the bed sulking, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Looking at Qin Huairu who was welcomed in, his face turned dark again.

Today, because of the Jia family, he lost all face in the courtyard, and he didn't want to see the Jia family at this moment.

Qin Huairu had anticipated this and immediately used her best skills.

Her eyes turned red and she started crying.

"Woo woo! Uncle, why do you think my life is so miserable?"

"My husband passed away long ago, leaving me with such a large family to support."

"Now I don't even have a place to live. I can't hold on any longer."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a headache. It was obvious that the Jia family’s problems had not been resolved after he left.

After hesitating for a moment, his eyes lit up.

Isn't this a great opportunity to restore your image?

Didn’t Pei Guang say that he was just good at talking? So he decided to do it with real swords and guns so that the neighbors would know what kind of person he was.

At this moment, he began to regret his lack of consideration and should not have left in such a hurry.

Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the situation.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Huai Ru, I won't sit idly by and watch this matter."

"I'll squeeze in with Dake for the next few days, and you and your family can squeeze in with Auntie."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

"Uncle, thank you so much. I knew you were the most enthusiastic person in the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai felt so flattered that his previous anger immediately disappeared.

Before long, the entire compound knew that Yi Zhonghai had taken in the Jia family, which caused another round of heated discussion.

The effect was just as Yi Zhonghai expected. His reputation immediately turned around and he regained the trust of his neighbors.

Of course, there are also many people who think that he is talking after the fact, but that doesn’t matter.

......

Have a good night's sleep!

The next morning, Pei Guang woke up slowly from his sleep.

Perhaps because he indulged himself too much, his wife was still sleeping.

Looking at the time, it was just past six o'clock. He adjusted the angle of the electric fan, tucked in the quilt for his wife, put on his clothes and walked out.

When I walked out of the house, a breath of fresh air hit me. Two little magpies were standing on a branch, chirping one after another. Their black and white feathers were shiny in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

While he was washing up, Zhao Maimai came out rubbing her eyes and said good morning to him.

Breakfast is simple, white porridge with pickles, light and easy to digest.

After breakfast, some went to work, some went to school, and Pei Guang went out to buy some cement, sand and wood boards.

While the temperature is relatively low in the morning, prepare the materials for repairing the roof first.

When I passed by the Intermediate Court, I happened to bump into an old lady, but neither of us said hello.

When he returned to the yard again, it was almost 9 o'clock.

Miraculously, I found my wife at home. I learned from her that the strong wind yesterday destroyed the factory's electrical circuit, and the whole factory was closed for the day today.

Oh! It's another relaxing and enjoyable day.

.........

Chapter 121 Roof Repair

In the clear blue sky, there was a fireball-like sun hanging in the air. The clouds seemed to be melted by the sun and disappeared without a trace.

While the temperature was still pleasant, Pei Guang quickly took action.

Cut the cement and pour some at the door, add sand, mix well, then pour in clean water, stirring while adding until the mortar reaches a uniform slurry state.

The neighbors were all surprised when they saw this. They had noticed the things Pei Guang bought a long time ago and thought he was looking for someone to do the work, but things didn't seem to be what they thought.

Pei Guang can do bricklaying? It seems like a fairy tale.

Sun Dahu came forward and asked curiously, "Brother Guang, are you planning to repair the roof yourself?"

"Yes, now those bricklayers are too busy, so I have to do it myself."

"Uh..." Sun Dahu's face froze. Everyone can do it, but the problem is that most people can't control it.

"Brother Guang, why don't you wait a little longer, just in case it's not done well..."

Pei Guang smiled and said nothing more. There was no way to explain the cheating behavior of a person using common sense. Facts could prove everything.

When the neighbors in the yard heard about it, they all came over to watch the fun and stood not far away pointing and talking, but no one questioned it directly.

Some people even came to persuade us that if the tiles were not laid properly, the roof would leak and we would have to redo it. Why bother?

Pei Guangjun just laughed it off, borrowed a ladder, leaned it against the eaves, and with the support of his wife, he slowly climbed up.

"Brother Guang, be careful!"

After cleaning up the broken tiles, I measured the sizes of the holes, cut the wooden boards and put them on top of the lookout boards, then fixed them with nails.

Apply cement mortar and lay new green tiles.

Fortunately, the holes were not big and they were all fixed in two hours.

"Hoohoo!"

After coming down from the roof, Pei Guang took off his straw hat and took a few deep breaths.

He picked up a basin of cold water and poured it down from his head to dispel the heat clinging to his body.

Cool!

At this point, he was truly impressed by those high-temperature workers who wore heavy work clothes, braved the scorching sun, and stayed at their posts outdoors, silently devoting themselves.

pay tribute!

After lunch, I had nothing to do.

Although it was as hot as a steamer outside, it was cool inside the house.

He was shirtless, wearing only shorts, lying on the bed, fanning himself, and quietly reading a medical book.

Zhao Maimai followed suit, wearing pajamas and shorts and leaning on the bed, revealing her long, snowy legs. She held the knitting needles in her hands and continued knitting.

The whole room was unusually quiet except for the occasional "swish" sound of turning pages, but both of them felt so at ease just because each other was by their side.

Zhao Maimai's hands are quite fast. In nearly three months, she has almost completed the knitting of the entire garment and is now putting the final touches on it.

I saw her holding the needle in her right hand, constantly moving it forward and left, picking up all the thread on the needle in her left hand and transferring it to the needle in her right hand. Her movements were so fast that it was hard to describe. After a while, the needle in her left hand was empty, and she moved the empty needle to her right hand and continued knitting. The ball of thread gradually became smaller until it was used up.

I don't know how much time passed before a cheerful voice rang out.

"Brother Guang, I finally finished knitting. Come on, put it on and let me see it."

Looking up, I saw that it was a gray sweater with small squares with clear and neat textures.

The collar is round and low, which is Pei Guang's special request. He is strong and not afraid of cold, so the high collar is particularly irritating.

I reached out and took it and touched it. It was soft.
