The pretty widow Qin Huairu stood gracefully at the door.
The sun shone on her black hair, giving her a golden glow.
"Brother Weidong, you didn't even tell me when you came back. I only found out when I saw the jeep parked outside the door."
Qin Huairu bit her red lips and said coquettishly.
This woman is getting bolder and bolder. Li Weidong looked up at the residents passing by, with a calm expression on his face: "Master, are you okay so early?"
Seeing that Li Weidong didn't accept the offer, Qin Huairu knew that both of them would have to go to work later, so she could only keep her thoughts to herself.
He pursed his lips and smiled: "I came here today to tell you that Yan Jiecheng is getting married tomorrow."
"Yan Jiecheng is getting married?"
Li Weidong was stunned for a moment,
I just remembered that Qin Huairu acted as a matchmaker for Yan Jiecheng a while ago.
No matter what age you are, getting married is a big event.
Although it is a new society now and there is no need for three media and six recruitments, the necessary procedures are still indispensable.
It's just been a few days, and it's too late to even get engaged, so why are we getting married?
Qin Huairu seemed to have explained this problem to the residents, and said skillfully: "Oh, Yan Jiecheng is not young, and the woman is also old enough to get married. The two of them saw each other right when they met. In addition, now
New things and new things are encouraged in the streets. There is no need to copy the old almanac, and marriages will naturally come earlier."
"Really?" Li Weidong glanced at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "Is the Yan family planning to handle this matter?"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu looked a little ugly and pursed her lips: "Comrade Yan Bugui actively responded to the call from above and carried forward the spirit of diligence and frugality. He went deep into the masses and truly came from the masses and went to the masses.
,he"
"Talk like a human being." Li Weidong glared.
"The banquet of your family in Yanbu will be held in our courtyard." Qin Huairu lowered his head.
I secretly scolded Yan Bugui for being an old man.
With Chen Yuanyuan's appearance and status, not to mention Lao Mo, she should at least have a few tables in Donglaishun.
Sure enough, just like last time, Li Weidong remembered that the last time Yan Jiecheng got married, the banquet was held in the courtyard.
But that time, before the bride came to the courtyard, her identity was discovered by Liu Guangqi and she was disgraced.
I hope Yan Jiecheng’s luck will be better this time.
"Okay, I will join on time when the time comes."
Li Weidong turned around and was about to go to work, but was stopped again by Qin Huairu.
"Well, Yan Bugui said that it is not easy for his family to get married once, and they have to collect four yuan as a gift from each family."
"Four dollars?" Li Weidong stopped and frowned: "This old Yan wants to eat shit!"
In this era, it is common for neighbors to give gifts to each other, which is basically less than one yuan.
One dollar may not seem like much, but it is actually quite a lot.
I remember when Li Weidong got married, because his "family was poor", each household contributed 50 cents to help him hold a banquet.
As a result, everyone had a round belly after eating, and there was still a lot of vegetables left.
Thinking of this, Li Weidong laughed: "I remember that when I got married, Yan Bugui handed over fifty cents. According to the rules, Yan Jiecheng got married, and I could only take fifty cents, otherwise I would look down on Yan Jiecheng."
"despise?"
"Yes, if I pay more than him, am I deliberately showing off my strength?"
Li Weidong said slowly: "Yan Bugui is the third uncle of our courtyard and an old teacher. I still respect him very much."
Qin Huairu: "."
Qin Huairu didn't worry too much about the gift money. After all, she was just a matchmaker. As long as the matchmaker said she became a matchmaker, she would have completed her job.
She seemed to have remembered something, her eyes sparkled, and she bit her red lips: "Brother Wei Dong, you don't need to go to the machine factory today, right?"
"The equipment at the machinery factory will be produced soon, so there is no need to keep an eye on it." Li Weidong took a deep look at Qin Huairu and nodded: "I will be preparing for the installation of the production line in the poverty alleviation workshop these days.
.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu gave him a flirtatious look, lowered his head and left.
Looking at her back, the corners of Li Weidong's mouth raised slightly.
This woman is being dishonest again.
Yan Jiecheng's wedding banquet is currently the top priority of the Yan family.
Early in the morning, Yan Bugui called the three aunts, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi, to the main room to hold a morning meeting.
Yan Bugui sat on the chair with a proud look on his face: "Everyone, tomorrow is Jie Cheng's wedding, and it is also the moment when our Yan family will show their face. In order to welcome this glorious moment, we must work together and unite."
After saying that, he saw the three aunts and the others sitting there blankly, their eyes widening with dissatisfaction: "Hey, do you really think you are a parent or a cadre?"
"Well"
Everyone in the Yan family reacted, and there was warm applause.
Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, if there are more, I will be proud."
"Pooh"
An inappropriate voice sounded. Yan Bugui's face suddenly darkened and he looked following the voice.
He saw Mrs. Jia Zhang with her legs crossed and eating melon seeds. The melon seed pieces were scattered all over the floor.
He shook his head helplessly and withdrew his gaze.
When Yan Jiecheng gets married, he will kick this old godly woman out and let her be proud for a while longer.
"Now I will announce the personnel decision."
Yan Bugui shook his head and took out a piece of red paper from his pocket as he spoke.
"Old lady, your task is to send invitations to every household."
The third aunt was stunned for a moment, and said coquettishly: "Lao Yan, this time you won't ask someone to give you six yuan as a gift like last time, right?"
I remember last time, because of the six yuan gift money, the residents actually started a new business, which actually led to Li Weidong's good deeds.
Yan Bugui was so angry that his heart ached.
He covered his heart and waved his hands: "This time we only need four yuan as a gift."
"Four dollars seems a bit much." The third aunt looked worried.
Yan Bugui's eyes widened and he adjusted his glasses: "I said you, an old woman, really don't understand anything. Isn't my face, old Yan, worth four yuan? Okay, don't say any more.
Just do as I say!"
"Well."
The third aunt knew Yan Bugui's temperament, so she took the invitation and left the house without saying anything more.
Yan Bugui turned his attention to Yan Jiecheng again: "Jiecheng, you and Hedi are responsible for purchasing food. Just like last time, buy more cheap things like Chinese cabbage and white radish."
"Where's the meat? Uncle Yuanyuan is coming to the banquet. If we don't prepare any meat dishes, it won't look good."
".Okay, if you buy a pound of meat, you are only allowed to buy one pound, and you are not allowed to buy more."
As he said that, he handed over a handful of money and coupons.
Yan Jiecheng took the money and tickets and ran away with Yan Jiedi.
Now there is only one last item left, hiring a cook.
The cook in the fence last time had diarrhea recently and couldn't come to Yan's house to cook.
Silly Zhu and Li Weidong wear the same pair of trousers. Nowadays, the wife control is strict, so there is no hope.
Yan Bugui had already inquired about it, and found out that there was a cook in the machinery factory named Nan Yi, who was the descendant of the imperial chef.
Nan Yi also defeated Silly Zhu in a cooking competition some time ago.
Although he has the home field advantage and the competition is unfair, it can be seen that his cooking skills are comparable to those of Silly Pillar.
Yanbu Gui contacted Nanyi through connections a few days ago and reached a cooperation intention with Nanyi at the cost of a jar of century-old West Lake Longjing.
"Liberation, please inform Nan Yi and ask him to come to our Yan family to cook on time tomorrow morning."
"By the way, send this jar of tea to Nan Yi."
With that said, Yan Bugui took out a ball of yellow silk and satin from his box, untied the yellow silk and satin, and found a wooden box lying inside.
The wooden box is antique, with embossed patterns on it, and the lock is covered with large patina, which looks like it has been around for a while.
Gently opening the wooden box and smelling the strong fragrance of tea, Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
This tea was handed down from our ancestors. If it weren't for Yan Jiecheng's marriage, I would be reluctant to give it away.
Children, they are the ghosts who come to collect debts!
Yan Bugui sighed and handed the wooden box to Yan Jiefang.
"Don't worry, I'll go right away."
Yan Jiefang took the box and put it in his pocket. He did not go out immediately. Instead, he turned around and smiled: "Dad, the machinery factory is far away from us. You see, Li Weidong drives a jeep. Can you lend me your bicycle?"
"Fifty cents." Yan Bugui stretched out his hand.
Yan Jiefang cried sadly: "Dad, I am doing something for the Yan family, why do I have to charge a bicycle fee?"
"Don't think I don't know what your plan is. Do you want to take that female worker to the park with you?" Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp.
After Yan Jiefang graduated from junior high school, like Yan Jiecheng, he entered a steel rolling mill and worked as a fitter.
Recently, I have become very close to a lesbian named Zhou Dahong.
The two often walk on the street after get off work, and they seem to be friends.
Being poked into his thoughts by Yan Bugui, Yan Jiefang could only take out fifty cents from his pocket and hand it over.
"That's right."
Yan Bugui put the money in his pocket and felt a little excited.
I made money early in the morning, which is a good sign.
Sudden.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
The third aunt rushed in and said nervously: "No, old man, the residents of the courtyard are only willing to give 50 cents as a gift."
"What!"
Yan Bugui's expression changed greatly: "Didn't you tell them the strength of our Yan family according to what I taught you?"
"I said it!" The third aunt smiled bitterly: "But the residents said that last time Li Weidong got married, they only paid 50 cents. Yu Li is still the second uncle now, and is one level higher than you. If she gets married this time,
If the gift money is more than last time, wouldn’t that be a slap in the second uncle’s face?”
"This" Yan Bugui's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment.
After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth: "Damn Li Weidong, you must be the one behind it!"
"A sneeze! A sneeze!"
Li Weidong was walking in the warm sunshine and couldn't help but sneeze twice.
"Master, do you have a cold?" Niu Meng tilted her cute little face and asked worriedly from the side.
"No, maybe someone is talking about it. Just keep talking."
"During the time you went to the machinery factory, the comrades from the logistics department had already built a new factory building. The new factory building totals 2,300 square meters, and the internal power supply system is all in place."
"Also, the sub-district office has submitted the list of newly recruited temporary workers."
With that said, Niu Meng took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Li Weidong.
After taking it and taking a closer look, the stone in Li Weidong's heart fell to the ground.
When recruiting workers for poverty alleviation workshops, the most critical criterion is that they are from poor households, and they cannot be idle.
In addition to the name of the temporary worker, the list also contains specific family information and the evaluation of the person by the neighborhood office.
"Director Wang from the sub-district office seems to be attentive," Li Weidong praised.
The corner of Niu Meng's mouth raised slightly, with a somewhat proud look on her face: "Of course she has to be more careful. The news that our poverty alleviation workshop is recruiting temporary workers has now spread throughout the capital. Recently, many street office workers have found themselves in the poverty alleviation workshop.
, I want you to recruit people from them for our workshop.”
"If Director Wang doesn't hurry up, he may be overtaken by others."
Li Weidong doesn't pay attention to these things on weekdays. These people are all received by Niu Meng.
Regarding the poverty alleviation workshop, Niu Meng originally thought it was just an ordinary workshop. The reason why Li Weidong became the director of the poverty alleviation workshop was purely for the pursuit of progress.
Seeing the hopeful faces of the sub-district office directors, and hearing the plans of the temporary workers after receiving their wages, Niu Meng realized the ordinary and greatness of the poverty alleviation workshop.
That's right, Niu Meng feels that apart from "ordinary and great", there is no other word to describe the importance of the poverty alleviation workshop.
With the poverty alleviation workshop, temporary workers who are deeply trapped in poverty can have money to buy food, pay school fees for their children, and pay for medical treatment for their mothers.
Master, this is how greatness is created in the ordinary!
Hearing Niu Meng's words, Li Weidong frowned slightly: "We have a cooperative relationship with the Siheyuan Subdistrict Office. Only with Director Wang's careful supervision can we recruit excellent workers. This kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial and not just a matter of cooperation."
charity."
Li Weidong gave the recruitment quota to the Siheyuan Street Office, which was not selfish.
But more importantly, every one of these temporary workers that Director Wang helped recruit was hard-working and hard-working.
Otherwise, Li Weidong would not still hand over the second batch of recruitment quotas to the Siheyuan Subdistrict Office.
"Yeah, master, I was a little proud just now. You were right to criticize me."
After Niu Meng realized his mistake, he immediately admitted it.
Of course Li Weidong would not blame her, "I have been away for a while. Thanks to you keeping an eye on the workshop. When the workshop is officially operational, I have to thank you."
"How can I thank you?" Niu Meng smiled happily and jumped for joy.
"You decide."
"I haven't decided yet whether I can keep accounts first." Niu Meng's big eyes rolled around, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she pulled at the corners of her clothes with both hands.
Seeing her like this, Li Weidong was a little confused, but he nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Weidong thought that Chen Xueru was still making clothes in the studio, so he wanted to see her work progress.
Just as he said goodbye to Niu Meng, a pretty figure flashed out not far away.
"Director Li, you are here. There is something in our courtyard that I want to discuss with you."
The person who came was none other than Qin Huairu.
Seeing the coquettish Qin Huairu, a warning flashed in Niu Meng's eyes, and she involuntarily pouted her mouth.
However, Qin Huairu's reason was very legitimate, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
I could only return to the workshop in frustration.
Looking at the busy workers, Niu Meng fell into deep thought.
