The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Liu Guangqi quickly handed Li Ming a cigarette and greeted him, then made room for Liu Haizhong and the other two to sit at the table.

Li Ming glanced at Liu Guangqi, who looked very uncomfortable, and immediately realized that this bastard was a little unbalanced.

After all, Liu Guangqi sold his father and his surname but still didn't get a section chief position. When his backer fell, he was implicated. As a result, after returning to Beijing, Li Ming directly suppressed him by several levels. He grew old in vain!

But Li Ming didn't care. After all, Liu Guangqi wouldn't be able to stay in the steel mill for long. Besides, if he didn't want to complete the task and vent the anger of the Liu brothers, he wouldn't bother to take this job, right?

"Mingzi, is there any news? I saw that old man Yan Fugui being taken into the steel rolling mill by Yi Zhonghai today. I guess they are going to do some business today!" Liu Haizhong became nervous at this moment and told Li Ming the news he knew.

Li Ming didn't go to the steel mill today, so he really didn't know about this matter, but now that Liu Haizhong said it, he subconsciously guessed it.

"They should have gone to the Purchasing Department. The head of the department is considered a model of taking money to do things. If Yan Fugui is willing to pay, he should be able to go to work tomorrow." Li Ming said with a faint smile.

Liu Haizhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Li Ming said. He didn't know why, but he just felt stable. After all, if the head of the first branch could do it, then Li Ming, the head of the third branch, should also be able to do it.

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, just let Liu Guangqi go directly to the steel mill tomorrow." Li Ming smiled and took out a note from his pocket. Well, it was no different from the one Wang Jianguo had.

There is a stamp on it too. He has a quota, so he had prepared it in advance and thrown it into the space to save trouble.

Liu Haizhong took a long drag on his cigarette, slowly took the note, glanced at it, and then put it on the table. "Thank you, Mingzi. Don't worry. The rest is up to your uncle Liu. He won't let you down."

Li Ming nodded with a smile, chatted with Liu Haizhong for a few words and then left Liu Haizhong's house.

When Liu Guangqi saw Li Ming leaving, he rushed to the table and picked up the note with trembling hands. The bright red seal of the steel mill on it reminded him that from tomorrow on, he would be a temporary worker of the steel mill.

"Guangqi, tomorrow you can take the note and go to work with me at the steel mill." Liu Haizhong smiled at his excited eldest son.

Liu Guangqi nodded vigorously, "Okay, I understand!"

Even when he was relying on his father-in-law for financial support, he did not have this feeling of excitement. Although he was very excited at that time, he always felt a little empty. But now, he felt very down-to-earth.

Liu Haizhong smiled and lit another cigarette, "I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative after get off work tomorrow. Mingzi has helped a lot, and we must show our appreciation."

"Don't forget, Yan Fugui estimated that he had to go to the steel mill to give money to get it done today. We won't give money, but the gifts must be in place."

At this moment, none of the three people had any objections. This was what they should do. If someone helps you with something, even if they didn't mention it, you have to show some appreciation. Otherwise, how are you going to get along with them in the future, right?

The family was immersed in joy when the door of Liu Haizhong's house was knocked again.

"Hey, there are quite a few people coming to our house today!" Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

The daughter-in-law Pan Cuilian at the side was very tactful and opened the door, and Yan Fugui appeared in front of everyone with a half-filled bottle of wine.

"Hey, Old Liu, would you like to drink something?" Yan Fugui said with a smile at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart why this old man came to their house. Li Ming was right. He guessed that it was because their family's Jiefang money was used to enter the steel rolling mill, otherwise this old miser would not be so happy.

This is just to show off!

Although it costs money, at this time, if you can spend money to enter the steel mill, it would be a great thing!

"Guangqi, go get me my bottle of Lotus White. I don't think I can digest the bottle of wine your uncle Yan brought today!"

Liu Guangqi laughed and turned to go to the kitchen. As a native of the Siheyuan, he naturally knew what the situation was with the wine in Yan Fugui's hand that had been opened but not full.

As for alcohol and drinks, they are very suitable for the Yan family.

Liu Haizhong threw a cigarette to Yan Fugui and asked him to sit down. Since Yan Fugui came here to show off today, that was just perfect. He was a little impatient.

At the very least, he would teach Yan Fugui a lesson after he finished pretending! Let him know what the hell is meant by "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor"!

"Old Yan, I see that you have good news." Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Fugui with a smile and gave him a message.

Yan Fugui happily poured his wine into the wine cup and took a sip happily, "Oh, Old Liu, you really have a sharp eye!"

Several people who had already left the main house couldn't help but curl their lips when they heard what Yan Fugui said. You look like you're just about to write "happy" on your face with a brush. Do you still need to see this?

Do you really think others are blind?

Liu Haizhong raised his Lotus White and clinked glasses with Yan Fugui, "Tell me about it?"

Yan Fugui stared at the wine cup in Liu Haizhong's hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Damn, this Lianhuabai is really more fragrant than his Erguotou mixed with water!

But it doesn't matter! He was in a good mood, and hoped that Liu Haizhong would be in a good mood after listening to it. He had specially seen Li Ming enter the front yard from the middle yard, so he came over with the bottle of wine!

Chapter 521: Generous Liu Haizhong

"Well, it's nothing, I just found a job for Jiefang." Yan Fugui said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Old Liu. If you hadn't told me that our steel mill is hiring temporary workers right now, I might not have been able to finish it so quickly!"

Yan Fugui's face was full of superficial gratitude. Who made Liu Haizhong break the promise? Besides, since their eldest son passed away, there has been no happy event in the family. Now that they finally have a happy event, they naturally want to find Liu Haizhong to pretend.

Liu Haizhong raised his glass slightly, "That's a good thing, congratulations, Old Yan."

"You didn't spend a lot of money, did you?"

Yan Fugui waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's nothing. We adults have earned money all our lives just to use it now. 60 yuan is not much."

Liu Haizhong was shocked. This was almost three months' salary for old man Yan Fugui. It was enough for him to spend. For Yan Fugui, it was probably no different from giving his heart away.

The people who were eavesdropping in the side room couldn't help but laugh. It was a lot of money, almost one month's salary for Liu Haizhong. They didn't know why Yan Fugui was so depressed that he came to their house to seek a sense of existence.

Maybe the nerves in my brain are misplaced!

"Wow! Old Yan, you are so generous this time! It's just right that we can let the two children report to the steel rolling mill together tomorrow!" Liu Haizhong smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Ga?

Yan Fugui was stunned, his eyes almost popped out. Did he hear wrongly or what? How come Liu Guangqi could also work in the steel mill? Could it be that the little bastard across the street from their house really did something for Liu Haizhong?

"Haha, haha, that's really a good thing! Now they can both be together, and there's someone to help!" Yan Fugui tried his best to maintain the smile on his face, making the smile appear more natural.

"Old Liu, how much did you spend this time?" Yan Fugui seemed nonchalant, but in fact he had already started to compare with others.

Liu Haizhong ignored him and shouted in the direction of the side-lying person, "Guangqi, take out the note Mingzi gave you and let Uncle Yan take a look!"

Since you want to pretend, just fill it up and take it out directly, so that Yan Fugui won't think that he is fooling people with his bangs.

Liu Guangqi almost laughed out loud behind the door, but quickly put away the smile on his face, then pushed the door open and walked out.

"It didn't cost any money! A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Mingzi didn't mention this to our family!" Liu Haizhong grinned and glanced at Liu Guangqi after he finished speaking. "Guangqi, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, Mingzi really didn't ask for money, Uncle Yan!" Liu Guangqi responded with a smile, and very considerately put the note on the table in front of Yan Fugui so that he could see it more clearly.

Liu Haizhong pointed at the note and said, "Old Yan, take a look, is this the procedure?"

"Don't make any more mistakes."

The smile on Yan Fugui's face completely faded. How could he not see it, right? The one at home cost 60 yuan to buy back!

Do you think Yan Fugui can't recognize it?

"Haha, that's true, not bad, Guangqi can still be Jiefang's companion in the future!" Yan Fugui said with a wry smile.

"Oh, that's fine." Liu Guangqi responded and quickly put the note into his pocket, fearing that it would be ruined by the stingy Yan Fugui.

"That's good now. Haha. I have a wife and grandson, and my son has a job. That's great!" After saying that, Liu Haizhong poured himself another glass of wine, wanting to be happy!

The corners of Yan Fugui's mouth twitched. Damn, that old bastard Liu Haizhong was pointing at him!

"It's all good, it's all good. I even got some insurance from Section Chief Wang today."

"People say that this can free up our family from two unfinished tasks. If we can be converted to a regular employee in the future, we will give them priority."

At the moment, Yan Fugui was in a state of forcibly saving face. There was no other way, he had to save face, otherwise he would lose all his face and dignity today!

Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement. Great! He gave me this little bit of leeway! Liu Haizhong was famous for his generosity!

Just give it to others if they want it. After all, they are old neighbors living in the same courtyard. How could Liu Haizhong not satisfy Yan Fugui's request?

Yan Fugui saw that there was no more sex to talk about, and after getting what belonged to him, he hurriedly left the backyard. He didn't even have time to drink the glass of water mixed with wine. It can be imagined how devastated this old man Yan Fugui was!

It was not until Yan Fugui left Liu Haizhong's house that he finally let out the laughter he had been holding back.

"Hahaha! Good!"

This time, Liu Haizhong didn't even pour the wine into the glass, he just took a big sip from the bottle!

The three people who were lying on their sides heard the laughter in their bangs and then came out. It was very difficult for them to hold it in.

Liu Haizhong calmed down his inner joy and then looked at Liu Guangqi, "Did you see that? This time we are indebted to that kid Li Ming for a big favor."

The three of them nodded.

"When you go shopping tomorrow, go for fifty. Since we're getting a bargain, we should treasure it even more. Do you understand?"

"Got it, Dad."

"Yeah, that's right. Okay, go to bed early and go to work with me tomorrow!" Liu Haizhong felt bored at this moment. He waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

When Aunt Liu saw this, she hurriedly followed, supported Liu Haizhong's arm, and went back to the bedroom together.

The front yard, Yan Fugui’s home.

Yan Fugui returned home with a gloomy face and said nothing. Fortunately, Yan Jiefang had already returned to the house to rest, so he didn't see the gloomy old man, nor did he let the gloomy old man see him.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, eight months’ salary may become one year’s salary!

Aunt Yan felt a pang in her heart when she saw Yan Fugui coming back with a gloomy face, but she didn't ask any more questions. If she asked any more questions at this moment, she would be a fool!

There is a saying that goes, don't hit the ugly ones, don't hit the stupid ones, only hit the ones who don't have eyes!

Besides, Yan Fugui kept cursing after returning home, and the word Li Ming was frequently mentioned in his curse words. Aunt Yan knew without thinking that Yan Fugui had suffered a setback at the hands of Li Ming again!

Then think about Liu Haizhong in the backyard. It must be that Liu Haizhong got what he asked Li Ming to do! Otherwise, how could Yan Fugui be so unhappy? !

Chapter 522 Taking Care of Sister-in-law

The next day.

Li Ming woke up from the bed and glanced at the time. Well, it was not yet nine o'clock. Great, it was a good time to get up early!

"Hiss, did Yan Fugui get angry last night? The old man's hatred value is rising very fast!"

While brushing his teeth, Li Ming glanced at his hatred value list and clearly saw that the old man Yan Fugui had climbed up another 5 points.

【Hate Value】

Yi Zhonghai (35)＋

Auntie (15) +

He Yuzhu (52)＋

He Yushui (18) +

Jia Zhangshi (33) +

Qin Huairu (17) +

Yan Fugui (65)＋

Yan Jiefang (50) +

Deaf Old Lady (30) +

When he rejected Yan Fugui and chose to help Liu Haizhong, he already knew that Yan Fugui's hatred towards him would increase, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"Hululululul~ Bah! It doesn't matter. I'll find a way to kill that old man when I'm over 80. I thought the first person to be dealt with in the courtyard might be He Yuzhu or Yi Zhonghai, but I didn't expect it to be Yan Jiecheng, and the second one was Yan Fugui!"

"But this Yan Jiefang, wow, is even more outrageous than his stupid father. I think he knows how Liu Guangqi got his job."

"The hatred value has increased so much. It should be because that old man Yan Fugui is exploiting the unlucky Yan Jiefang again. Tsk, your father is exploiting you, what the hell is it to me! Really!"

Li Ming rinsed his mouth and sighed. If this continued, he was afraid that the Yan family would be wiped out. But it didn't matter. If the Yan family was wiped out, he could find a way to rent the vacant house in the steel mill to his sister.

It’s the same whether you give it to outsiders or not, so why not give it to your own family?

Li Ming packed up and prepared to go to the backyard. After all, Xu Damao entrusted his wife to him, Li Ming, so he had to do his duty well, right?

backyard.

Li Ming had just walked over when someone called him.

"Akiko!"

Li Ming turned his head and looked, "Good morning, Aunt Liu!"

Aunt Liu is smiling and looks very kind. The relationship between the two families can now be described as being in the honeymoon period!

"It's not too early!" Aunt Liu replied with a smile, "What are you doing in the backyard?"

Li Ming waved his hand. "Hey, isn't this Xu Damao? He's been out in the countryside showing movies these days, and asked me to come and see his wife when I'm free. Today is a good time for me to come and take a look."

"By the way, Guangqi went to work?"
