Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

The third uncle has lived in this courtyard for so many years, and he is not a confused person. He understands in his heart that although these security officers sometimes act a little tough, they will not mess around in such matters. If there is really a trouble at the police station, the comrades at the police station will

We will definitely get to the bottom of the matter. Yan Jiecheng, this kid, must be lying.

But he is his own son after all. Although the third uncle was angry, he could only bite the bullet and plead for Yan Jiecheng at this time. He said to the security officer with a smile on his face: "Comrade, you see this child is ignorant.

Please bear with me. This ten yuan is not a small amount, can it be less?"

The security officer frowned and looked impatient: "This is already a favor from the boss lady. He should have gone to the police station to reflect on this matter. The jug costs ten yuan and the wine costs fifty cents. A total of ten yuan and fifty cents, one

No points should be taken less.”

When the third uncle heard this, he felt heartbroken. For him, these ten dollars and fifty cents were simply killing him. He gritted his teeth and continued: "Comrade, look at the situation in our family.

Rich, can it be a little less? Can five yuan be enough?"

The security officer suddenly got angry and stared: "Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables? Bargain! This is to compensate for the loss of the tavern, not even a cent less. If you keep pestering like this, I will take him back to the police station now."

"

The third uncle was trembling with fright, but he still refused to give up: "Comrade, don't be angry, let's discuss it later. This child is not sensible, and we as parents are willing to educate him well, so you can be more generous and cheap."

The security officer angrily yelled: "Are you done yet? Your son made trouble in the tavern, broke an antique wine pot, and refused to pay compensation. He should have been punished. You don't educate him, and you are still bargaining with me here. You are so stupid."

You are allowing him to make mistakes!"

The third uncle's face turned red after being talked about, and he stood there feeling embarrassed, but he really couldn't bear to pay for it.

Seeing the third uncle's reluctance to pay, Yan Jiecheng's heart skipped a beat and he was immediately frightened. He knew that if the third uncle didn't pay, he would really be sent to the police station, and the consequences would be disastrous.

He hurriedly knelt down in front of the third uncle with a plop, hugged the third uncle's legs, and begged with a cry: "Dad, please save me! I don't want to go to the police station. I was wrong this time. I will

I don’t dare to do it anymore. Just lose the money, I really know I was wrong.”

As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng's tears couldn't stop flowing down. As he cried, he shook the third uncle's legs: "Dad, if I go to the police station, I will have no future and our family's reputation will be ruined. Just take it for granted."

Have mercy on me, I will be a good person in the future and listen to your words."

The third uncle looked at Yan Jiecheng kneeling on the ground, angry and helpless, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that if the money came out, he would suffer from physical pain for a long time, but if he didn't come out, his son's life might be ruined.

The third aunt was stamping her feet anxiously. She couldn't just watch her son being taken away. She hurriedly walked to the third uncle, took his arm and persuaded him: "Old man, don't hesitate."

If we are taken to the police station, it will be all over! Let's just lose the money. If the money is gone, we can still make money. What if our son is good or bad?"

The third uncle stood there, frowning, the muscles on his face were trembling slightly, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart. That was ten yuan and five cents. To him, this was an astronomical sum of money.

He felt as if his heart was being grabbed hard by an invisible hand, and it hurt terribly every time.

But for the sake of his eldest son, the heir to the Yan family, the third uncle could only grit his teeth and agree this time.

He returned to the house, took out a ceramic jar and a cloth belt from under the bed.

The third uncle's hands were trembling as he carefully untied the shabby cloth bag. His eyes widened instantly. Inside the bag was the money he had saved for a long time. He fully expected to get ten yuan and fifty cents out of it, so he carefully checked each piece.

He counted on the ground, but after counting, he found that there were only five dollars in total. His face turned pale, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What... what can we do?" The third uncle muttered to himself, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He knew in his heart that the family really had no money now, so he had finally saved this little money for emergencies.

of.

The third uncle gritted his teeth and turned towards the security officer with a flattering smile on his face: "Comrade, look, I only have five yuan here now, which is really not enough. Can you please be accommodating?

I promise that I will send the remaining five dollars and fifty cents to the tavern tomorrow, please do me a favor."

The security officer frowned and looked at the appearance of the third uncle. He knew in his heart that he was a stingy and calculating person. He snorted coldly: "No, the money must be settled today. The boss lady has given you a chance, so don't

Play tricks again."

When the third uncle heard this, he was so anxious that he almost burst into tears: "Comrade, I am really not playing tricks. The family is really in trouble right now, so you can show your kindness. I am an old man. I will keep my word and I will get the money tomorrow."

Send it over."

The security officer was unmoved and said resolutely: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't have money, just come with me and let the police station handle it."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the third aunt quickly said: "Comrade, we have no money now, but we can borrow money. You just need to wait for a while."

The security officer didn't want to waste time going to the police station, knowing that it would be particularly troublesome then.

"Okay, but you have to hurry up and don't waste time. I'll be waiting to get off work later."

When the third aunt heard that the security officer agreed to borrow money to compensate, she was like grabbing a life-saving straw. She hurriedly said to the third uncle: "Old man, go to the courtyard and ask door to door to see if you can borrow money!"

But the third uncle pulled the third aunt aside, frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You are stupid! Who in the compound has spare money to lend us this late at night? Everyone's life is tight now.

Damn it, who would lend us money for no reason?"

The third uncle scratched his head irritably, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a person appeared in his mind - Xu Damao. He gritted his teeth: "Now we can only try to find Xu Damao. That guy usually looks slick, maybe he can

Have some money."

The third aunt was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, Xu Damao helped our Yan Jiecheng last time. He is still the leader of the workshop and his salary is very high. He will definitely lend it to us."

…

The third uncle and the third aunt hurried to the door of Xu Damao's house. The third uncle took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Xu Damao's impatient voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Third Uncle."

The door opened, and Xu Damao frowned slightly when he saw the third uncle and the third aunt: "Hey, third uncle, third aunt, it's so late, what's wrong?"

The third uncle had a smile on his face: "Da Mao, we have something urgent and want your help." With that said, the two of them entered the house.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were sitting at the table having dinner. There were simple meals on the table. Xu Damao looked at the third uncle with a faint smile on his lips: "What's the emergency?"

The third uncle rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "That's it, this kid got into some trouble outside, and now he needs to pay some compensation. We are short of money, so I would like to ask if you can lend us some."

When Xu Damao heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he put his chopsticks on the table: "Huh, Yan Jiecheng is that kid? I have seen through him. I helped him last time, but he was a white-eyed wolf. Now I see him.

Me, not only did he not thank me, he even glared at me, as if I owed him something."

Qin Jingru echoed from the side: "That's right, Damao, you are kind enough to help him, but he still doesn't appreciate it. If it weren't for the sake of the third uncle this time, we wouldn't be able to interfere with his affairs anymore."

After hearing this, the third uncle and the third aunt's face turned red and white. They felt very embarrassed, but for the sake of their son, they could only bite the bullet and continue to beg. The third uncle laughed and said: "Da Mao, this child is not sensible, you

Don't be acquainted with him. If you help us this time, we will definitely let him thank you in the future."

Xu Damao sneered: "Thank you? I don't dare to count on it. However, for your sake, I can consider it. What is going on?"

The third uncle explained that Yan was drunk and accidentally broke someone's antique wine pot in the tavern. Now he was escorted back by the security officer to raise money for compensation. He told Xu Damao in detail.

After hearing this, Xu Damao was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, Yan Jiecheng, this guy, still has money to go out for a drink? Then why don't you have money to pay for the wine bottle now? This is really interesting."

The third uncle looked helpless and hurriedly explained: "Da Mao, you don't know, this kid has recently met a brother from the big courtyard. It was the brother from the big courtyard who invited him to drink. How can he have the spare money to drink?

No, you drank too much and caused this kind of thing, and now we are really worried."

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows, with the slightly sarcastic smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Please have a drink, Brother Da Yuan? Yan Jiecheng is quite capable, and he can climb up to the high branches of Brother Da Yuan. However, since there are people

If you invite me to drink, then he should have some sense of proportion. If he gets into trouble after drinking too much, isn't that causing trouble for the family?"

The third aunt on the side also said: "Yes, Damao. I think this child is just ignorant, but now that the problem has come out, we have no choice but to ask you for help. Can you see if you can borrow it?"

Let's save some money and get over this difficulty first, and when we make money, I will pay you back immediately."

Xu Damao looked at the anxious and flattering expressions of the third uncle and the third aunt, and thought to himself, this matter is quite interesting. Yan Jiecheng, that boy, is usually very arrogant in front of him, but now he wants to see how he ends up. But this

As for the money, it's still up to two people to decide whether I can get it back after borrowing it. He deliberately said slowly: "This money is not a small amount, and I have to consider my own situation."

When the third uncle heard this, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Xu Damao was going to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "Da Mao, just do it, we really have no other choice. Considering that we are all neighbors in the courtyard,

Just help me this time."

Xu Damao looked at the eager look on the third uncle's face and nodded slightly: "Okay, for your sake, I will lend it to you this time. But there are ugly words ahead. The money must be paid back to me as soon as possible. If Yan Jiecheng

That kid dares to default on his debt, so don't blame me for being rude."

When the third uncle and the third aunt heard that Xu Damao agreed to borrow the money, they were overjoyed and said hurriedly: "It will definitely happen, Damao, don't worry, we will definitely pay you back as soon as possible. Thank you very much!"

Xu Damao stood up, took out the money from the room and handed it to the third uncle, thinking in his heart that Yan Jiecheng owed him a favor this time, and he would have to handle him well in the future.

The third uncle took the money from Xu Damao with both hands, as if grasping a life-saving straw, kept saying words of thanks, and then hurried home.

When he got home, he didn't bother to wipe off the big beads of sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly handed the money to the security officer and said: "Comrade, we have collected the money, please order it."

The security officer took the money and counted it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he looked at Yan Jiecheng with disgust in his eyes: "You kid, you are lucky today. Your parents are really worried about you. You can't

Be a good person and avoid causing trouble to your family? I’ll teach you a lesson this time. Don’t be stupid again in the future. If it happens again, no one will be able to save you.”

Yan Jiecheng was not convinced, but he did not dare to say anything to the security officer.

After the security officer finished his lecture, he turned around and left. In the yard, the third uncle and the third aunt looked at Yan Jiecheng, their faces full of exhaustion and pain. The third uncle was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointed at Yan Jiecheng and cursed: "You bastard,

Look at the good things you have done! In order to raise this money for you, we begged others in such a humble way, why can’t you save us some trouble?”

The third aunt was wiping tears at the side: "Jie Cheng, you can't do this again, you almost ruined yourself this time. We, the old couple, can't stand your torment like this."

Yan Jiecheng scratched his neck and said with an unconvinced look: "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I know you think I got into trouble this time, but I am someone who wants to do big things. Isn't it just ten yuan now? You guys

I have to take a long-term view. When I become rich in the future, ten thousand or one hundred thousand yuan will not be a problem."

At this moment, Liu Haizhong happened to pass by. Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, he stopped and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After he understood the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Yan Jiecheng,

You're the only one who's doing something big? With your moral character, you're drunk and causing trouble, and you're almost sent to the police station. Why are you talking about earning ten thousand or one hundred thousand? Stop daydreaming. You can use these ten yuan.

It’s good to compensate, but you’re still bragging!”

Yan Jiecheng's face turned red with anger at Liu Haizhong's ridicule. He glared at Liu Haizhong: "What do you know! I have my plan. One day I will get ahead. Don't be sarcastic here."

Liu Haizhong, however, refused to give up and continued: "Hey, you still have a plan? With your impulsive and reckless temperament, you still plan to make a lot of money? I think you should learn how not to get into trouble first."

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth. He decided that after he currying favor with Zhong Yuemin, he would first clean up his bangs.
