Rather than asking Li Donglai to join the project, Director Zhang seemed more inclined to ask him to quickly come up with the operating specifications.
For four or five days in a row, Li Donglai's only job was to "recite" Zhang Qingcui's experimental operating procedures from his previous life in the office.
My voice is hoarse after get off work every day and it hurts to speak. Fortunately, with the help of the Barefoot Doctor system, I can whisper to Ding Qiunan when I get home.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it’s the day when Sha Zhu and Yu Juhua get married.
Of course, this day is also the wedding day of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.
The Siheyuan solved two bare poles (factors of instability) at the same time, and the sub-district office even sent a comrade who was in charge of the Siheyuan to attend the wedding banquet.
As the matchmaker between the two families, Li Donglai naturally cannot be absent. Fortunately, today is the weekend and there is no need to ask for leave.
Early in the morning, just after dawn, Li Donglai was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Brother Donglai, get up quickly, I'm getting married today!"
"Si Zhu, you start driving. Brother Dong Lai is my family's matchmaker, so he naturally wants to come to my house first."
"Hey, Xu Damao, today is my happy day, Silly Zhu. You want to beat me, right?"
.....
Hearing the noise outside, Li Donglai knew that it was impossible to sleep in.
At this time, Ding Qiunan was also awakened, and Li Donglai took a bite on her face: "Daughter-in-law, you can sleep a little longer and let our baby have a good rest. I'll go help first."
"Yeah!" Ding Qiunan could barely open his eyelids and fell asleep again.
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger now, and the little one is restless in her belly and has to toss until midnight every day.
Sometimes Ding Qiunan really felt that there were two in her stomach, but the Steel Rolling Mill Hospital did not have X-rays and there was no way to check.
Li Donglai turned on the dim light bulb, put on his thick cotton-padded jacket and opened the door to the main room. He saw that Li Xiaomei had also gotten up, and his little face was full of excitement.
"Brother, we will definitely set off firecrackers later. Shitou and I have made an appointment to pick up the firecrackers together. You can let me go together!"
Li Xiaomei pulled the corner of Li Donglai's clothes and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, but you can't fight with others."
Li Donglai had nothing to do with this younger sister. Li Xiaomei learned a set of boxing skills from Ding's father and was now the dominant figure in the courtyard. Even Bangge, who was two or three years older than her, was no match for her and ran away whenever he saw her.
"Brother is so good, brother is so great!" Li Xiaomei smiled happily.
When he opened the door, he saw Shazhu and Xu Damao still arguing at each other.
"Okay, shut up, today is your big day, don't give me any trouble!" Li Donglai stepped forward and separated the two of them, "It will be dawn soon. According to our rules, you have to
Riding a bicycle to pick up my new wife."
The two of them glared at each other after hearing this, and then fell silent, quietly listening to Li Donglai's arrangements.
"It's too shabby to pick up your new wife alone. Let's do this, Xu Damao!" Li Dong came to look at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao smiled and said: "Brother Donglai, you make arrangements."
Li Donglai said: "Take Liu Guangtian and ride your bicycle to Qinjiagou to pick up Qin Jingru."
Xu Damao scratched his head: "The Liu family doesn't have a bicycle, so I have to drive Jingru."
Li Donglai said: "Go to the front yard and borrow the bicycle from the third uncle's house. Just say it was me and let Liu Guangtian ride it."
Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this. Li Donglai was the only one in the courtyard who could borrow things from the Yanbu family. He turned around and ran towards the Yanbu family.
Behind him, Li Donglai shouted: "Tell Liu Guangtian not to drop the bicycle."
Yan Bugui's bicycle was saved. If it was thrown and fell apart, Xu Damao would have to pay him one.
"What about me? I also want a best man!" Silly Zhu asked enviously.
"Take Liu Guangfu with you and let Liu Guangfu ride on my bicycle!" Li Donglai ordered.
He Yuyu has a bicycle with a 28-inch large bar that Shazhu can ride on.
Silly Zhu was overjoyed: "Brother Donglai, you should act openly and openly."
Remembering to get a wife, Shazhu turned around and ran away.
Li Donglai gathered his coat and wandered to Yanbu Gui's house. Yanbu Gui was handing the bicycle to Xu Damao.
"Da Mao, my bicycle is brand new. When I bought it, I spent 180 yuan plus a bicycle ticket. If you drop it, you have to pay me a new one."
"Don't worry, you won't fall!" Xu Damao pushed the car and ran away. Anyway, it was Liu Guangtian who was riding. If he falls, he will let the second uncle pay for it.
Yan Bugui didn't look back until Xu Damao entered the crescent gate of the central courtyard.
He looked at Li Weidong and said, "I'm going to serve a single table as a gift right now?"
Li Donglai waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait until after eight o'clock. Do you still remember the rules?"
Yan Bugui hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "Remember, why don't you remember! The He family and the Xu family hold a wedding banquet together. The residents in the courtyard are willing to participate in the gift of 80 cents for each family. The relatives of the two families, we
There is no limit on the gift money, but 80 cents will be deducted from it as the cost of the wedding banquet."
"Okay, then follow the rules and remember to clarify the accounts. We will announce them to everyone in the compound at that time. I still have to keep an eye on the second uncle, so I won't stay any longer."
Li Donglai gave a few words of advice and stepped into the cold wind.
At this time, Yan Jiecheng, who had been listening quietly next to him, curled his lips: "Brother Donglai has become so stupid. He doesn't know how to seize such a good opportunity to make money... Ouch... Ouch... Dad, you
Don't twist my ears!"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Bugui twisted his ears and carried him into the house.
The third aunt who was collecting waste cardboard under the eaves stepped forward and pulled Yan Bugui's hand away: "If you have anything to say, please tell me. You can't teach your child to be ignorant, and the interpretation is not wrong. In our compound, we usually hand delivery
The gift money is only one yuan, and only two people can be sent as representatives to attend. The family holding the wedding banquet can earn a lot of money. It would be better for Li Donglai to let each household only pay 80 cents, and the whole family can go to eat and drink.
I can’t make any money at all! I heard from Li Dong that any money left after the wedding banquet will be returned to the residents. Isn’t this a waste of effort!”
Yan Bugui let the two of them into the house, closed the door and whispered, "I see, you two together are not as smart as Li Donglai alone."
Yan Jiecheng curled his lips and was about to speak, when he received a slap on the head. Yan Bugui said coldly: "You, just study hard, otherwise you will only be a fitter for the rest of your life."
"If you have something to say, why don't you always hit your child?" The third aunt hurriedly held his hand.
Yan Bugui sighed: "Think about it, this wedding banquet is not so much the wedding banquet of Xu Damao and Silly Zhu, but it is more like a big dinner in our courtyard. For those residents, spending eighty cents for the whole family can...
When we eat at the table, can they not remember Li Dong’s arrival?”
"What's the use of remembering the benefits? It's not a meal!" The third aunt disdained. She felt that the former calculating Yan Bugui seemed to have changed. This change made her feel a little uneasy.
Yan Bugui smiled and said: "When people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices. If you have a good reputation these days, it will be much easier to do things in the future."
As he spoke, he sighed: "This is what I realized in this quadrangle election. Li Donglai has only been in our quadrangle for half a year, and he can become the first master of the quadrangle. Why? It's not because he is the director, nor because he is a college student.
, but because he is a good person and the residents say he is good."
The third aunt nodded in understanding, but Yan Jiecheng curled his lips in disapproval.
.....
Liu Haizhongjia.
Liu Haizhong had already gotten up and was standing in front of the mirror, taking care of his traitorous hair.
I combed the hair on the left side and licked the hair on the right side.
Something was wrong, so he turned to look at the second aunt who was busy pouring tea.
"Old lady, what do you think of me?"
The second aunt looked Yi Zhonghai up and down, wearing a brand new Chinese tunic suit, a snow-white shirt, and bright leather shoes, and nodded with satisfaction: "He looks like a leader."
"Hey, who told you to look at my clothes? I mean my hair!" Liu Haizhong shouted.
The second aunt smiled and said: "Hair, you are a big man, who cares about your hair?"
Liu Haizhong said dissatisfied: "Today is an important occasion for me. Li Donglai gave me the position of chief wedding manager, so naturally I have to dress appropriately."
The second aunt snickered: "What a wedding banquet manager? He just helps people arrange the seats and calls on the helpers to serve the dishes."
"You don't understand anything! I'm going to call those boys to work!" Liu Haizhong waved his hand and walked out of the room.
As soon as he went out, he met Li Donglai.
"Master, don't worry, I promise to handle it properly."
When Li Donglai saw Liu Haizhong dressed in this outfit, he was naturally not worried at all and said with a smile: "I'll trouble you...Second uncle!"
The sound of "Second Uncle" made Liu Hai's heart burst with joy, and he went to work in a hurry.
Although there is no competition for the position of the first uncle, Liu Haizhong is satisfied that he can still be the second uncle.
Moreover, Li Donglai really delegated power, unlike when Yi Zhonghai was in power, Liu Haizhong could only speak first at the venue to enjoy his talk.
When Li Dong came to see the two stewards, he worked extra hard and turned back to the house.
You go and do your work, I also want to accompany my wife for a walk in the park.
At this time, Ding Qiunan had already gotten up. When he saw Li Donglai coming back, he smiled and said: "The courtyard is so busy today, I can just go for a walk by myself."
"Hey, I've made all the arrangements. They're busy with their business." Li Donglai helped Ding Qiunan out without saying a word.
Ding Qiunan felt the strong friendship and felt happy.
....
The warm sunshine in winter drives away the severe cold, and the courtyard becomes lively.
"Tie Zhu, please quickly bring people to move out the tables and stools from each household."
"Xiao Shitou, you went to rush the grocery buyer, why haven't you come back yet? Don't waste your time."
"Aunt Zhang, let your home be a VIP room. When the distinguished guests come, you can entertain me."
In the middle courtyard of the courtyard, Liu Haizhong stood on the flower bed and assigned tasks one by one. He was addicted to being an official.
"What, there are not enough tables? Bring someone to move out the table from the deaf old lady's house."
"It's almost eight o'clock now. Silly Zhu should be back soon. Erdan, take two people with you and prepare to set off firecrackers at the entrance of the courtyard."
....
For a time, the residents of the courtyard were all busy, and everyone's face was filled with rich happiness.
They are not busy for others, but for themselves.
At noon, their whole family can have a big meal.
The price of 80 cents is not expensive at all. Even if a family goes to the canteen and orders a few dishes, it will cost more than this.
While the aunts are working, their mouths are still busy.
"I think we made the right choice this time by choosing the first uncle."
"That's right, it's Li Donglai who will handle the matter, otherwise we would have to attend two wedding banquets, and the gifts alone would cost a lot of money."
"Yi Zhonghai has been a master for so many years, but he has never done anything good for us!"
"Yes, yes, Yi Zhonghai always favors the Jia family."
"Hey, don't tell me, why didn't I see Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu today? Even Bang Ge was nowhere to be seen."
Jia Xudong was lying in the house unable to move, so it was fine not to appear in the yard.
It was so lively today, but Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were nowhere to be seen, which made the residents feel strange.
....
At this time, Yi Zhonghai was pulling a frame truck and walking in the cold wind on the way to the prison.
He looked at Qin Huairu, who was struggling to walk with a big belly, and thought angrily, it would be better if Jia Zhang could be released from prison a few months later.
In this way, Qin Huairu gave birth to a child, and he, Lao Yi, also had offspring.
However, God does not bring what one wishes!
Just yesterday, Qin Huairu suddenly received a notice from the prison that due to Jia Zhang's outstanding performance, the superiors decided to release her early.
This makes Qin Huairu a little confused. Will Jia Zhang perform well? What a joke!
However, Jia Xudong was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed.
For a while, he was afraid that Qin Huairu would plot to kill him. Now that Jia Zhang was released from prison, Qin Huairu did not dare to behave like a monster with Jia Zhang watching.
Jia Xudong immediately asked Qin Huairu to pick up Jia Zhang, but the prison was twenty miles away from the courtyard, and Qin Huairu was unwilling to pay for the car.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Huairu can only call Si Zhu, hoping that Si Zhu will bring Jia Zhang back.
But today was Shazhu's wedding day, and before he finished listening to Qin Huairu's request, he closed the door.
Just kidding, leaving the bride alone and going to the prison to pick up an old woman, no matter how stupid I am, I won't do such stupid things.
There was no other way, so Qin Huairu had no choice but to invite Yi Zhonghai.
Although Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to go, seeing Qin Huairu's big belly and fearing that something would happen to the child, he had no choice but to agree.
Yi Zhonghai borrowed a cart from the compound next door, and in order not to waste time, the two set off at three in the morning.
Since Yi Zhonghai was not as strong as Si Zhu, Qin Huairu could not sit on the cart and could only pull the stick and follow behind the cart.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yi Zhonghai finally saw the large, rusty iron gate of the prison.
He collapsed on the ground, nearly twenty miles away, and almost died of exhaustion.
Yi Zhonghai had already begun to regret in his heart.
Jia Zhang had not yet come out. At this time, Qin Huairu found the guard inside and asked about the reason why Jia Zhang was released.
It was not a confidential matter, so the guards did not hide it from Qin Huairu.
Ever since Ms. Jia Zhang entered the detention center, she felt as if she was dead. She didn't work or eat every day. She just lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
At the beginning, there were still a few prisoners bullying Ms. Jia Zhang. Later, the prisoners were afraid that Ms. Jia Zhang would burp, so no one messed with her.
When the prison officials saw that Jia Zhang was losing weight day by day, they knew that this was not going to be a problem, so they reported it to their superiors.
Taking into account Jia Zhang's age and her sincere attitude in pleading guilty, the higher authorities decided to release her early.
