Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's concession, Liu Haizhong did not continue to pursue it, because he knew that he was definitely not Yi Zhonghai's opponent than words.

If you want to move Yi Zhonghai, you have to rely on these residents in the compound. Only if they unite and attack Yi Zhonghai can Yi Zhonghai lose all face.

After making up his mind, Liu Haizhong walked up to the residents with a shy belly and said loudly: "The reason why I have to waste everyone's time today is because something good happened in our compound."

"Just praise the good deeds. Why do we need to hold a meeting to praise him?" When the residents heard Liu Haizhong say this, they were a little confused and started to talk about it.

Pressing his bangs up and down, he felt the gazes of the residents, and his bones felt numb. Yes, it was this feeling of being valued. It was so wonderful, it was simply the most wonderful moment in the world.

Liu Haizhong wished that time could stop at this moment and let him stay in the attention of the residents forever, but he knew that he was a brave warrior now. He had to blow the battle horn while Yi Zhonghai was unprepared.

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath, vented all the energy he had accumulated for more than ten years, and shouted in a voice like thunder: "That's right!! Our compound has encountered a great thing. Director Liu, please

The comrades from the power supply station installed a transformer in our compound. Everyone should know that the voltage in our compound is unstable. Sometimes, if the power consumption is high at night, even the light bulbs will not light up.

Do you think this is a good thing?

"

Before the residents could start discussing, he continued: "However, Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the boss of our compound, actually rejected the request of Comrade Yi Zhonghai from the power supply station. He claimed that our compound did not need a transformer! Let Director Liu's statement

His good intentions were in vain, you think he is hateful!"

The battle officially started. Yi Zhonghai originally didn't care about Liu Haizhong's words.

As a great man, the courtyard is his one-third of an acre of land. Anyone who wants to break ground on this one-third of an acre must obtain his consent.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai would not agree to install the transformer, not because he was afraid that the residents' electricity bills would increase. He would not feel bad about how much the residents spent.

He is afraid that new changes will occur in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai is already old, and he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with those changes. He hopes that the courtyard will remain as it is now. After eating every day, Yi Zhonghai patrols the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

When he met a naughty child, he reached out to touch the child's head and warned him: "You can play, kid, but don't cause trouble." The frightened look in the child's eyes made him feel relieved.

Yi Zhonghai wandered to the door of several residents, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to them generously, and then quietly admired the residents who were reluctant to smoke after getting the cigarette, rubbed it on their noses, and then carefully

The way it looks like it's inserted into the ear.

At that time, he would laugh heartily, lean down and ask the residents about the difficulties they encountered, and after pretending to listen for a while, he would pat the residents on the shoulders: "Difficulties are temporary, and there will always be bread. We must be prepared for the future."

Full of hope." Then, under the awe-inspiring eyes of the residents, he continued to walk to the next house with his hands behind his back and a figure-footed step.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that after he handed out the cigarette, the residents would look careless and put it in their mouths. When he asked the residents about their difficulties, the residents would smile and say that they had no difficulties. In that case, he would not be able to find his sense of existence.

.

Over the years, with the passage of time, Yi Zhonghai discovered that some new changes have taken place in the courtyard. Those residents who used to nod and bow when they saw him now dared to look at him, and those who were "spoiled" by him

As a child, when he grew up, he would turn around and run away. This new change made Yi Zhonghai a little scared. He would never allow the new change to continue to spread.

A new transformer means a new change. Yi Zhonghai, the old man who guards the courtyard, will never allow new transformers to appear in the courtyard.

Facing Liu Haizhong's attacks, Yi Zhonghai habitually used his trump card. He nodded at the residents: "Yes, I did refuse to install the transformer, but that is my right as the master of the courtyard. Liu Haizhong, because of you

When you call the residents together for this kind of thing, do you think that I am not qualified as a senior citizen? Well, you go to the subdistrict office now and ask Director Wang of the subdistrict office to remove me as a senior citizen."

Liu Haizhong was still a little scared at first, but now with the encouragement from the residents, he feels that he can do it again.

He suppressed the panic in his heart and stared at Yi Zhonghai coldly: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you are indeed the big man in our compound, and you are qualified to decide the affairs of our compound. However, things like installing transformers are not important to everyone."

All the residents are fine, but you actually refused. Can't we ask why?

You are the eldest son in the courtyard, not the local emperor! The siheyuan is the courtyard for all the families in the courtyard, not your eldest son alone!

The big guy said yes!"

As Liu Haizhong finished speaking, the residents began to talk about it. They had long disliked Yi Zhonghai, so naturally they couldn't let go of this opportunity now.

"That's right, why should he be the one to have the final say on matters in our compound? All the residents of our compound should be able to handle it!"

"Yes, yes, if we had a transformer, our light bulbs would not flicker on and off every night. I have heard that the light bulbs flicker on and off, which is very bad for the light bulbs. The light bulbs can easily break."

"The second uncle is right, Yi Zhonghai has gone too far!"

...

The discussion was like a sharp knife, cutting Yi Zhonghai's skin. In all the years he has been in charge of the courtyard, he has never been so opposed by anyone.

Yi Zhonghai knows that the enthusiasm of the residents has been aroused now, and it is impossible to easily win over them. The only way now is to quibble.

Yi Zhonghai calmed down his expression and said coldly: "Liu Haizhong, you must be responsible for what you say. The power supply station only came to inquire about the installation of transformers, and did not say that we must install transformers in our compound. Everyone also knows the current power supply

How nervous it is. Many factories are short of electricity. How could the power supply station install transformers in our compound? Liu Haizhong, I have known for a long time that you are dissatisfied with me, but I never expected that you would listen to the wind and rain. According to

An unfounded rumor to retaliate against me."

Yi Zhonghai's shamelessness left Liu Haizhong speechless for a moment. He never thought that Yi Zhonghai would deny this.

Xu Damao knew something was wrong. After all, only Liu Hongchang and the comrades at the power supply station knew best about the transformer. They had no actual evidence at all.

But where is Liu Hongchang now? Why is he missing?

At this time, Wang Weidong was drinking tea at Xu Damao's house. Of course, Qin Jingru was with him.

He had already arrived at the venue just now, but he drank too much water in the afternoon and felt a little bloated, so he thought about going to the hut.

He had just walked two steps when he met Qin Jingru. At that time, Wang Weidong could only pretend that he didn't know the location of the hut and asked Qin Jingru to help him lead the way.

After the two returned from the hut, Qin Jingru invited Wang Weidong to sit at her home for a while.

Wang Weidong, a grown man, was still afraid of a delicate little wife, so of course he went happily.

In front of the Sifang table, Wang Weidong held Qin Jingru's little hand, spread her fingers flat, pointed to the palm prints on it and said: "Sister-in-law, judging from your palm prints, you are a lucky person!"

Qin Jingru felt the heat coming from the big palm, her face turned red with embarrassment, her heart was agitated one after another, and dense beads of sweat oozed from her fair and smooth forehead.

She lowered her head and whispered: "Director Liu, to tell you the truth, you made a mistake. I have never been happy for a single day in my life since I married Xu Damao. You don't know that Xu Damao seems to be a gentle man and speaks well."

He is very kind, but he is actually a vicious-hearted person. He...he often abuses me!"

As she spoke, Qin Jingru glanced at the door and saw that it was tightly closed. She knew that Xu Damao was having a meeting outside and would never come back, so she gritted her teeth and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing the bruised and swollen part of her body that Xu Damao had beaten.

.

"Director Liu, look, this was all done by Xu Damao. Tell me, why is my life so miserable!"

There were several bruises and bruises on his fair skin. Even though Wang Weidong knew that the young couple had a bad relationship, he never expected that Xu Damao would do such a cruel thing.

Especially Qin Jingru is like a delicate rose, and her skin is as tender as egg white.

Wang Weidong gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Damao has gone too far. I will definitely teach him a lesson in the future. Sister-in-law, does it still hurt now?"

Qin Jingru glared at Wang Weidong angrily, pursed her lips and smiled: "You touch it and I'll see if it still hurts."

Wang Weidong took a deep breath and stretched out his hand.

.........

Half an hour later, Wang Weidong remembered the meeting, put Qin Jingru's head off his arms, stood up and started to get dressed.

"Sister-in-law, I have to go to a meeting, otherwise Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong will definitely not be able to deal with Yi Zhonghai."

Qin Jingru came to her senses at this moment. She sat up from the bed, put her arms around Wang Weidong's waist, and leaned her head on Wang Weidong's shoulder: "Brother Hong Chang, after you leave, will you come again?"

Wang Weidong turned his head, gave a sip, stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Jingru's chin, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will be able to see each other more often after I make the arrangements. Before that, you have to be patient for a while."

Qin Jingru nodded heavily: "Brother Hong Chang, I believe you!"

Looking at Wang Weidong's leaving figure, Qin Jingru's eyes flashed with sparks of hope. In just half an hour, Wang Weidong had given her a taste of happiness.

She had never felt that kind of happiness after being with Xu Damao for decades.

Thinking of Xu Damao, Qin Jingru suddenly realized that she didn't feel any guilt at all. After Xu Damao deceived her, he never respected her. He always called her a country girl and beat and scolded her frequently.

If Qin Jingru hadn't had a living allowance and a job, she would have divorced Xu Damao long ago.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was in the center of the venue, saw Wang Weidong staggering over, and he quickly ran up to meet him.

"Director Liu, you are finally here."

After saying hello and holding Wang Weidong's hand tightly, Xu Damao vaguely smelled the smell of heather from Wang Weidong. As a person who has done harm to little girls, Xu Damao knew the source of this smell.

He patted Wang Weidong heavily on the shoulder, looked at Wang Weidong meaningfully and said, "Director Liu, I didn't expect that you are so diligent. My cousin will definitely be very happy."

In Xu Damao's view, the reason Wang Weidong was late must be because he was with Guan Tingting. At this time, he was extremely envious. Guan Tingting was a goddess-like existence to him. As long as he could get her, she would be with her.

He is willing even to die.

Wang Weidong's face straightened: "Comrade Xu Damao, have you forgotten that we still have serious things to do? How can we spend time on such mundane things?"

His stern words and awe-inspiring righteousness made Xu Damao respect him. Xu Damao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we must oust Yi Zhonghai quickly and let the courtyard bathe in the sunshine of justice again!"

The two people talking here at this time have attracted Yi Zhonghai's attention. He had met Wang Weidong several times before and knew that Wang Weidong was the director of the TV factory, but he didn't care too much.

The director of the TV factory is indeed very powerful, but this is a courtyard house, his territory of Yi Zhonghai. Wang Weidong is not a resident of the courtyard house at all, and has no right to speak.

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Xu Damao and said: "Da Mao, we are having a meeting in our compound. What do you mean by inviting an outsider over? Well?"

Xu Damao was almost furious at Yi Zhonghai's arrogance. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Master, this is Liu Hongchang who lives in the outer courtyard, Director Liu. Director Liu is not an outsider.

In the past, the old man who lived in the outer courtyard had participated in the general meeting of the courtyard. Now that factory director Liu Hongchang has bought the old man's house, he naturally has the right to participate in the meeting. Although you are the boss of the courtyard, this belongs to our courtyard.

You can’t break the old rules.”

These words were like a burst of thunder echoing in Yi Zhonghai's ears, how could it be possible! How could Liu Hongchang attend the Siheyuan Conference!

He raised his eyelids and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh violently. Oops, he used a trick back then, but he didn't expect that after so much time, he actually got himself involved.

At that time, the three stewards of the courtyard had just taken office, and Yi Zhonghai's power was far less powerful than it is today. He had to rely on the residents to fight against Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Of course, Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith and has many worker supporters in the courtyard, while Yan Bugui is a school teacher and a cultural person. No matter what era he is in, a cultural person can always be recognized by everyone.

In order to win over more people, Yi Zhonghai not only established relationships with the residents who could attend the meeting, but also set his sights on the old man in the outer courtyard.
