It gets dark around seven o'clock in the Qingming Festival in Beijing. There are few pedestrians at night, and cars driving on the empty streets give a sense of desolation. It is hard to imagine that this is the capital of a country.
The noise in the car was very loud, Xu Damao was still sitting in the front passenger seat, and Su Yi and Yang Baorui were sitting in the back seat.
Yang Baorui sighed: "Yuan Korea, you shouldn't have said those words today."
"I've caused trouble for you." Su Yi smiled.
"What trouble can I get into?" Yang Baorui said, "You, you, are still too young. You need to polish and polish it."
"It doesn't sound like a good thing." Su Yi joked.
"Huh, you are so lucky that you don't know how lucky you are! Others want us to work hard, but we are too lazy to do it!" Yang Baorui said, "If it weren't for your talent, we would really cherish your talent, otherwise who would care about you? You
Yeah, he is also a smart boy. You can figure out who is really good for you. Oh, you said you didn’t come to me first when you came to the factory, but you went to Li Xinmin instead? "
Su Yi smiled and said nothing.
Perhaps because there were outsiders in the car, Yang Baorui said with emotion and changed the subject: "Your application report for joining the party has been typed up. When the first batch comes, the matter will be discussed at the meeting, and the inspection and appointment will be completed soon.
To aid Korea, you must understand the weight of your burden and do not betray the trust the organization has placed in you."
"Maliciousness from Xu Damao +122..."
"I understand." Su Yi nodded.
"Focus more on your work." Yang Baorui said the last thing, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The car first took Su Yi and Xu Damao to the courtyard. When they got off the car, Yang Baorui asked Su Yi to wait and handed him a book.
"This is what the senior leader asked me to forward to you after dinner." Yang Baorui said, "Read the book carefully, understand it well, and report your thoughts and trends to the senior leader more often."
"Notes on the Doctrine of the Mean", a book by Kang Youwei.
Su Yi smiled, knowing that this was the leader's advice to him, and felt that he had shown his talents today.
"Maliciousness from Xu Damao +126..."
"Let the leaders worry about it," Su Yi said.
"Let's drive." Yang Baorui nodded to Su Yi, turned around and gave instructions to the driver.
The two watched the car drive away, and Xu Damao said sourly: "Yuan Chao, your life is so good."
"Good luck?" Su Yi smiled.
"Yes, you see how much the leaders value you and even give you a book..." Xu Damao said, "Just now the factory director said he would formally appoint you, then your administrative level must have been raised as well, so you have entered the field a lot."
How long has it been? How many years have I been working on it, and now I am still a projectionist? Alas, people compare with each other, and they are driven to death..."
Su Yi said: "Didn't you seize the opportunity? I think it's good for you to chat with Aunt Bai."
"No matter how good the conversation was, they didn't let me have a sip of water." Xu Damao was not satisfied, "On the contrary, people were asking about your work in the factory. Alas, you were smart enough to help Korea, and you got to know the reporter early.
, This is really a coup. Look, the leaders are treating you well, and those high-ranking cadres and juniors all regard you as their friends. Whose face is this? Isn’t it just the literary reporter? I really admire you for supporting Korea.
Damn! Your vision is so vicious, no wonder you look down on Yu Haitang..."
Su Yi glanced back at him and said: "Wen Hui has two best friends, both of them are very beautiful. Why don't you go and chase her? What do you think you are lacking? If you compare with me, you are just a bit unlucky. You
I can fuck you, but if you use your strength, you will definitely be better than me."
Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Yuan Chao, do you really think so?"
Su Yi patted him on the shoulder: "You and I are the only heroes in the world. I'm optimistic about you. Come on!"
After saying that, Su Yi turned around and left.
"Congratulations from Xu Damao +88..."
"But I'm married...Hey, Yuan Chao, we haven't finished talking yet. Why are you leaving? Yuan Chao! Yuan Chao!"
When Xu Damao caught up with Su Yi, Su Yi had already entered the yard.
At this time, every household was eating at home, and there was almost no one in the yard, but there was a figure digging in the ground next to Su Yi's house, with a headlamp on his head.
Hearing the noise, the man raised his head, and the beam of light immediately hit him. Xu Damao, who was catching up, hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and yelled dissatisfied: "Who is it, dazzling your eyes! Turn off the light quickly!"
"I'm sorry!" The man hurriedly threw away the pickaxe in his hand and reached out to turn off the light.
Kong Ermin.
"What the hell are you digging here for? Who are you?" Xu Damao asked angrily.
"My friend." Su Yi said calmly, "He's here to help me."
Xu Damao was stunned.
Su Yi walked over and said with a smile: "Ermin, why are you the only one left?"
Kong Ermin clapped the dirt on his hands and walked over and said with a naive smile: "I came here after work and after dinner. My dad asked me to dig out the cellar for you. You weren't here when I came, so I started working first."
"Come on, let's go inside for a drink of water." Su Yi took his arm and walked into the house.
"No - hey? Hey!" Kong Ermin was a little confused.
Xu Damao watched Su Yi and Kong Ermin enter the house, cursed silently at the door of Su Yi's house, grinned and rolled his eyes fiercely, then turned around and walked to the backyard.
The fire on the stove was on, there was a kettle sitting on it, the thermos was full of water, and the house was kept spotless.
This is obviously due to Yu Li.
Su Yi pinched a handful of tea leaves, made a tea jar for Kong Ermin, took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from the chest of drawers, opened them, lit one for Kong Ermin, and stuffed the rest into his jacket pocket.
Kong Ermin was cautious and refused to refuse, but Su Yi couldn't help but patted his shoulder and asked directly: "Uncle Kong told you something, right Ermin?"
Seeing that what he was talking about was serious business, Kong Ermin's face suddenly straightened up and he said: "I told you, don't worry, we can support Korea. It's no problem."
Su Yi said: "If it were anyone else, I might not worry about it, but knowing that it's you makes me feel at ease. You can rest assured and just listen to a few nagging words at most, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Kong Ermin nodded: "My father knows the approximate location of the water pipe, so I dug according to that location. The water pipe can be buried at most one meter deep, and it can be dug quickly."
Su Yi thought for a while and said: "Pick it a little, around eight o'clock."
Around eight o'clock, everyone in the yard had finished eating and washing up, and it was time to go back to the house. Su Yi was afraid that the neighbors who were watching the fun would understand, so he kindly helped Kong Ermin point out his mistakes.
Kong Ermin was stunned and said: "Then...shall I go out for a while? I work very quickly, and I won't be able to make it to eight o'clock no matter how long I wait. Why don't I just go haul the sand back again?"
"Sure, it's up to you." Su Yi smiled.
Kong Ermin wanted to speak, but Su Yi tapped the table lightly and shook his finger, causing the former to shut up immediately.
Soon I heard footsteps outside the door, and someone pushed the door open and entered.
"Yuan Chao..." Yu Li pushed the door open as she spoke. She was startled when she saw two people in the room. She smiled and said, "Master Kong is here too?"
"Sister-in-law is here." Su Yi greeted with a smile.
"Let me ask you if you have eaten." Yu Li said, "Why are you back so late?"
"I went to the leader's house to eat, but I wasn't very full." Su Yi said, "Do you have any ready-made food, sister-in-law? I'll just make a few bites and don't cook."
Yu Li said: "Would you like to drink the rice porridge? I make a lot of it at home, so I'll bring you a bowl."
"Sure." Su Yi nodded.
"Then you wait." Yu Li said, glanced at Kong Ermin, and asked casually: "Master Kong, do you want to eat something too?"
"No, no, I still have to pull out the sand." Kong Ermin waved his hands hurriedly, "I'll go to aid Korea first. This smoke..."
He was about to take out the cigarette from his pocket.
Su Yi said: "Why are you pushing a pack of cigarettes around? Man, please just stop!"
Kong Ermin scratched his head: "Okay, I'll keep it, I'll leave first."
Su Yi nodded.
Kong Ermin walked around Yu Li and went out.
Yu Li said: "Are you too arrogant? When your family builds a house, you don't even take a look at it?"
"Aren't you here?" Su Yi smiled and leaned back on the chair.
"Are you tired?" Yu Li noticed that Su Yi's mood seemed to have some subtle changes.
Su Yi smiled and said: "It seems a bit."
Yu Li said: "Then sit still and I'll serve you porridge quickly. You can rest after eating."
Su Yi nodded, and Yu Li looked at him again before turning around and going home.
The third uncle was having dinner at home, and the whole family gathered around the table.
Seeing Yu Li come in, Yan Fugui couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Is he coming?"
Yu Li shook her head.
Yan Fugui suddenly looked disappointed.
Yan Jiecheng said: "I just said they can't come. If it were me, I wouldn't come either. How can anyone invite someone to eat while they're eating? Besides, where can someone treat someone to a meal of rice porridge and ask for help?
"
"What do you know? This meal is just for teasing." Yan Fugui waved his hand, "If he can do it, I will definitely treat him to a good meal; if he can't do it, is there no need for us to spend that wasted money? No.
Come... forget it if you don't come, I'll find another chance. Come on, come on, my daughter-in-law, sit down and continue eating."
Yu Li said: "I won't come to help the DPRK, but I told him that we will bring him a bowl of rice porridge and let him deal with it."
Yan Fugui was startled, then immediately cheered up and said: "It's best to carry it over. I'll carry it over! It's not easy for me to speak as a big family, so there were just the two of us. When I spoke, he listened.
Don’t teach the six ears…”
"Dad, are you going? Isn't this appropriate?" Yan Jiecheng said, "Even if my mother goes, it is more appropriate than yours. How can elders serve meals to younger generations? This is not good!"
"Yes, no! Dad, you will make us feel inferior in the future!" Yan Jiefang also said.
Yan Fugui was stunned for a while, then slowly sat down and said: "Yes, yes, it's disrespectful to do this... It's really not good... It would be okay if he comes, but it won't taste like that when I carry it...
"
"If you want me to tell you, just ask Yu Li to talk to him." Yan Jiecheng said, "Didn't you say that this time is just to test the truth? I'll ask for help next time. You can take action next time. This time, let Yu Li
Let’s ask what’s going on first and see if there’s any drama. If someone says no, won’t you feel hurt?”
"I think it's okay." The third aunt said, "Old man, we won't let my daughter-in-law do things, but it's okay to ask about the situation, right?"
Yan Fugui was moved and looked at Yu Li and said, "Daughter-in-law, can you say this?"
Yu Li nodded and said, "Dad, I know what to say."
Yan Fugui warned: "Try to be as tactful as possible. The main thing is to find out whether he has the ability to arrange it. Don't mention the help."
"Don't ask directly when you go. You can clean up the house for him and talk about other things first." The third aunt said worriedly, "You are a bit straight-tempered, so don't speak directly."
"Okay, I understand, Mom." Yu Li said.
"Don't worry, parents, Yu Li is reliable!" Yan Jiecheng said.
"You, if your wife is half as capable, we can worry less." Yan Fugui said angrily, "Honey, go and heat up the porridge, get some pickles, and get a steamed bun. You can't just let people drink it.
Porridge."
"Oh, daddy spent a lot of money!" Yan Jiefang joked.
"If you don't want to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf." Yan Fugui said, "As long as there are gains, the efforts now are worth it."
Yan Jiecheng said speechlessly: "A bowl of rice porridge, a steamed bun, and a plate of pickles. Dad, do you call this giving?"
"This is not called giving, so what is giving? Isn't this money? Is this brought by the strong wind?" The third aunt scolded unhappily while working, "You guys, you don't know how expensive oil and rice are if you are not a family member."
"Well, you reminded me." Yan Fugui said, "This is for you two. This meal will be your responsibility. Only one of you can have dinner at home tomorrow at noon. You two can discuss it.
Well, who doesn't come?"
"Hey, why am I so talkative?" Yan Jiecheng slapped himself in the mouth.
Yu Li chuckled: "You think if you don't talk too much, dad won't be able to remember it? Dad's mind is just a ledger, what can't he remember clearly?"
Yan Fugui said proudly: "This is talent, it's useless for you to envy it."
At the same time, Xu Damao and his wife were also discussing the topic of Su Yi in the backyard.
Xu Damao boasted about his bravery and outstanding performance in the houses of big leaders, saying how highly the leaders thought of him.
But when it comes to Su Yi, things completely change.
"Really, I never thought that Su Yuanchao was this kind of person before. If I had known earlier, would you have thought that I would have ignored him?" Xu Damao said with a serious look on his face, "You don't even know his ugly face of flattering people, really.
, he wants to kneel on the ground and eat the shit the leaders poop! It’s so disgusting!”
"What you said is even more disgusting!" Lou Xiao'e looked disgusted and half-believing, "Isn't Su Yuanchao this kind of person? I think he is quite arrogant."
"Audacious? That's called bullying the weak and fearing the strong, flattering the superiors and bullying the inferiors!" Xu Damao sneered, "Only silly women like you would be confused by his disguised appearance. Why did he reject Rachel and Yu Haitang? Do you really think he has high vision? Shit.
! Let me tell you, he has been ready to eat soft food. People have already targeted the female reporter and deceived them with her sweet words. The female reporter’s family is a big boss, and Yu Haitang and Rachel’s family have...
What? Any fool knows how to choose!"
Lou Xiao'e felt like her views had been subverted. She shook her head and took a deep breath and said, "I, I still can't believe it. I feel that Su Yuanchao is not like what you said."
"Hey, you silly bitch, what I saw with my own eyes can be false?" Xu Damao said with a "tsk", "Although I, Xu Damao, am not a good person, at least I live with dignity! Just say that for so many years,
Have I ever relied on your dad?"
"You are unreliable. My father doesn't like you." Lou Xiao'e is really upright.
