Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Originally, before Yan Bugui stopped Wang Weidong, he had already looked around and found no neighbors passing by.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do those cunning things so openly and openly.

But he never expected that Liu Guangqi would see him.

Yan Bugui knew Liu Haizhong's temperament. He was a simplified version of Fool Zhu, who was very good at playing tricks. If he gave in now, Liu Haizhong would definitely take advantage of him.

Yan Bugui adjusted his collar, walked slowly to Liu Haizhong, and asked with a smile: "Haizhong, we have been old neighbors for many years, and I am not here now. To break up with you, I just want to ask you

, did the First Master entrust the matchmaking to you?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Of course not. Didn't you stop Liu Hongchang in the middle of the road? If you didn't stop me, I would definitely be the matchmaker."

Yan Bugui laughed twice, pointed at Liu Haizhong and said: "Haizhong, listen carefully to what you said. Liu Hongchang didn't entrust you to be a matchmaker at all. How can you say that he robbed you?"

Where’s the matchmaker?!”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Haizhong suddenly fell into confusion.

Yes, Liu Hongchang may change his mind at any time before entrusting you with the matchmaking affairs. Yan Bugui is not considered a matchmaker to rob you at all.

"But...but..."

Liu Haizhong felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only scratch his gray hair in embarrassment, his fat head and big ears full of doubts.

With your brain, you still want to fight with me, huh, you are simply asking for humiliation.

Yan Bugui laughed twice, walked over and patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder: "Old Liu, I know you and Liu Hongchang have a very good relationship now, but because of this, you can't take on the matchmaking business."

"How do you say this?" Liu Haizhong frowned.

Yan Bugui stared into Liu Haizhong's eyes and asked: "I'm asking you now, do you know that the zodiac signs are in conflict with each other? Do you know the birth date and horoscope?"

"You are all old antiques. Now is the new society. Young people don't pay attention to these things." Liu Haizhong disagreed.

Yan Bugui held his arms in his arms and said with a smile: "Haizhong, let me just say that you have no experience in being a matchmaker. The target of matchmakers is not young people, but their parents. Their parents all came from before liberation."

Yes, I don’t care."

He emphasized: "There are only two of us here in the sea, and there is no need for us to hide. When Liu Guangqi and Zhao Shuya got married, didn't you find someone to calculate their horoscopes?"

Liu Haizhong's face changed drastically when he heard this. He wanted to deny it, but couldn't open his mouth.

Just as Yan Bugui said, although the higher authorities do not advocate this kind of behavior, in order for their children to be harmonious and beautiful after they get married, Liu Haizhong still followed the old rules and secretly went to the suburbs of the city in the middle of the night to find the half-blind man.

Master, please calculate the birth dates of the two of them.

Yan Bugui continued: "Do you know the matchmaking skills? How to help the man cover up his flaws, and how to bargain for the bride price, do you know?"

Liu Haizhong was even more speechless.

"Since you don't know, if you say the wrong thing during the matchmaking process and offend the woman, wouldn't you lose more than you gain?" Yan Bugui reached out and patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder again: "Haizhong, I can't do this.

It’s for your own good.”

"So, I have to thank you?" Liu Haizhong frowned. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that there seemed to be no problem with what Yan Bugui said.

"Hum, thank you so much. Why did we become neighbors for so many years?"

Yan Bugui originally wanted to find something with Liu Haizhong, but he was afraid that Liu Haizhong would figure it out, so he quickly sent Liu Haizhong out of the house.

Then he went to the large courtyard next door with his hands behind his back.

As long as the red thread is tied well, even if the bangs make trouble again, it will be too late.

In the courtyard, people were coming and going. Many residents knew Yan Bugui and greeted him one after another.

Yan Bugui responded one by one, walked slowly to the door of Zhou's house, cleared his throat, and knocked on the door.

It was Zhou Fang who opened the door.

When she saw Yan Bugui, Zhou Fang was obviously in a daze.

Zhou Fang had heard about Yan Bugui's reputation as a gold medal matchmaker, and knew the purpose of Yan Bugui's trip.

It's just... I just made an appointment with Liu Changyi yesterday, and a matchmaker came to the door today. Isn't this a little too soon?

Speaking of which, Yan Bugui has some connections with the Zhou family. Before liberation, Zhou Fang's father was also a private school teacher and taught in the same private school as Yan Bugui.

Once, when rebels invaded the capital, Yan Bugui was still young and inexperienced at the time. He was so frightened that he opened the door and wanted to run out. It was Zhou Fang's father, who was several years older than him, who grabbed him and took him with him.

He hid in the cabinet in the utility room, and Yan Bugui finally escaped.

To a certain extent, Zhou Fang's father was Yan Bugui's savior. Yan Bugui was not yet married at that time, and the private school teacher's salary was relatively high, so Yan Bugui had not yet developed a calculating and shrewd temperament.

Moreover, Yan Bugui was still alone and had no place to play at night, so he often bought some meat and vegetables, went to Zhou Fang's house, and asked Zhou Fang's mother to cook them, and the two drank and talked happily.

However, after Zhou Fang's father died, the relationship between Yan Bugui and Zhou Fang's family gradually became estranged, and they almost never saw Zhou Fang again.

Yan Bugui gathered his thoughts, looked at Zhou Fang and said, "Oh, Zhou Fang, in the blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl."

"Uncle Yan, please come in quickly." Zhou Fang wanted to ask Yan Bugui if he was here to be a matchmaker for her, but how could a big girl say such a thing?

Zhou Fang quickly let Yan Bugui into the room and was about to help her pour tea when Yan Bugui waved his hand: "Don't worry, I want to talk to your mother."

This confirmed that Yan Bugui was the matchmaker.

Zhou Fang stood up and said, "Uncle Zhou, my mother is not in good health and is lying in the back room right now."

"Really...I'll go in then." Yan Bugui stood up and opened the door curtain, and saw Zhou Fangniang lying on the bed.

"Old sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years."

"It's Xiao Yan, please sit down quickly." Zhou Fangniang was also waiting for the matchmaker to come to the door.

But I didn’t expect that the matchmaker would be Yan Bugui.

"Lao Yan, why are you here this time?"

"Hey, I forgot to talk about business." Hearing Zhou Fangniang's initiative to mention it, Yan Bugui knew that Zhou Fangniang was definitely willing.

This marriage is more than half done.

Yan Bugui said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I was entrusted by the grand master of our compound to propose marriage to his cousin, Comrade Liu Changyi."

"Zhou Fang told me about this when she came back yesterday. Zhou Fang is old enough to get married. I shouldn't have stopped her from doing this, but this girl wants to take me with her. I'm afraid that people will hate her."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are overly worried about this matter. I may not be sure about other people's families, but Liu Changyi's family, let alone support you, even if it is

There’s no problem in feeding ten of you.”

"Ten...why, Liu Changyi's family is very rich?" Zhou Fangniang was stunned for a moment.

Yan Bugui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, patted his thigh and said: "Liu Changyi is the security section chief, and he is considered a high-level cadre in the factory. This is okay. The key is that his cousin is the director of Lanhua Automobile Factory, and he is also a member of our courtyard.

uncle."

Maybe she was afraid that Zhou Fang would be at home all day and might not know what was going on outside.

Yan Bugui continued to explain: "Lanhua Automobile Factory is the largest automobile factory in our country, and the director Liu Hongchang is an extraordinary figure. Don't think Liu Changyi is just a security section chief, but he is actually Liu Hongchang's confidant. If Zhou was

If you marry him, you will definitely live a good life."

Zhou Fangniang was stunned when she heard this. Even though she stayed at home all day, she had also heard of the name of Lanhua Automobile Factory.

The man Zhou Fang is marrying now is actually the factory director's cousin... This is really hard to believe.

Ever since Yan Bugui entered the house, Zhou Fang had been hiding outside and eavesdropping. When she heard Yan Bugui's words, her eyes widened in shock.

Liu Changyi looked like a simple and honest member, but he didn't expect that he had such a profound background.

Zhou Fang was excited for a while and suddenly understood.

Liu Changyi did not tell his background in front of him, which shows that he is not the kind of person who relies on the power of his relatives.

If she marries Liu Changyi in the future, she cannot rely on Liu Hongchang's power to avoid causing Liu Changyi's dissatisfaction.

Instead of being disappointed, Zhou Fang admired Liu Changyi even more.

She is not the kind of person who is greedy for vanity. She believes that relying on her own hands, she can survive even the most difficult days.

After Zhou Fangniang heard about Liu Changyi's background, she knew that she would not be a drag on the Liu family, so she agreed to the marriage between Zhou Fang and Liu Changyi.

Yan Bugui was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

This time he completed Wang Weidong's entrustment, and he will be able to have a relationship with Wang Weidong in the future.

....

The other side.

Wang Weidong has arrived at Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao was getting ready to go to work when he saw Wang Weidong come in. After quickly welcoming him in, he ran out to find a coworker to ask for a day off for him.

There are no important screening tasks in the steel rolling mill today. Instead of promoting the department in the steel rolling mill and making jokes with those old ladies, it is better to chat with Wang Weidong at home!

Recently, the secretary of the director of the research institute has disappeared. No matter how stupid Xu Damao is, he knows that he has been deceived.

He was so distressed that he almost fainted. Recently, he had taken away almost all of the Xu family's property. Even the property that Lou Xiao'e had left with him had been spent for a fortune.

That was more than thirty small yellow croakers! It was almost equivalent to a worker’s lifetime salary, and it was all defrauded.

Xu Damao regretted so much that he almost wanted to jump into the sea, but when he thought that Qin Jingru was pregnant, he was about to give birth. In addition, after the Lou family left the capital, he secretly got a batch of gold from the Lou family, which was enough to live in the future.

, then he resisted and did not jump.

There was no hope for the chief secretary, so Xu Damao could only pin his hopes on Wang Weidong, so he seemed even more enthusiastic.

After letting Wang Weidong's tea into the room, Xu Damao took out an iron box from the box and said mysteriously: "Director Liu, this is a tea given to me by a distant relative of mine. It is said to be a tribute."

Tribute?

Wang Weidong laughed and said: "Da Mao, we have been liberated long ago, where are the tributes?"

Xu Damao was startled, and quickly reached out and patted his cheek, smiling: "Look at me, what nonsense are you talking about? This tea was a tribute before liberation. In the past, ordinary people could not taste it, let alone taste it.

I haven’t even seen it before. Now that we are liberated and we, the people, are the masters of our own country, we have the opportunity to taste it."

It has to be said that Xu Damao is very clever. With just a few words, he managed to bring the situation back to normal and also showed off his ideological consciousness.

It's just that the performance of the tea was not as good as that of Xu Damao. The soup was turbid and the taste was choking. Not to mention it was a tribute, it was not as good as ordinary Longjing tea.

It was also the first time that Xu Damao opened the box and tasted the tea. After taking two sips, his expression suddenly changed: "Damn it, I'm a bald donkey. How dare you lie to me? If you encounter me again, I'll tear your head off."

Wang Weidong is not a tea person. In his previous life, his favorite tea was iced black tea. He took a small sip and asked.

"Bald donkey?"

"Yes." Xu Damao said angrily in order to avoid his responsibility: "A while ago, Jingru had a bad appetite and wanted to eat fish caught in the ditches in the countryside, so I rode my bicycle to the countryside to fish.

I met a young monk, and the monk saw that I was about to have a happy event. When I was happy, I gave him a dime. After getting the money, the young monk did not leave, but took out this gift from his pocket.

He asked for a box of tea leaves. He said that he was a monk in a large temple nearby. The tea leaves were given to his master by the palace before liberation. After his master died, he was afraid that the tea leaves would be passed on to him. Now that the young monk is in trouble, he wants to

Let’s sell the tea.”

"Of course, a monk can't just sell it, it should be a good relationship. I was confused at the time and listened to his lies. I paid ten yuan and formed a good relationship. Who would have thought that monks are unreliable these days?

.”

The tea leaves before liberation... My dear, they are really tributes, and they are well past their shelf life.

No wonder it tastes so weird.

Although Wang Weidong didn't mind inferior tea, he was afraid that he would have diarrhea after drinking it. After putting down the enamel jar, he looked at Xu Damao with a smile.

"Da Mao, by the way, why didn't you see Qin Jingru today?"

In the past, whenever Wang Weidong came to the Xu family, Qin Jingru would always be busy, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

"Jingru, isn't the due date coming soon? I haven't let her get out of bed these two days." Xu Damao pointed to the back room.

Even in the back room, you can hear the sounds outside...

Wang Weidong turned his head and understood immediately.

Xu Damao actually installed a brand new wooden door in the back room.

In this era, due to limited conditions, the doors of the homes of residents in courtyard houses were usually covered with curtains.

Xu Damao was a little surprised when he saw Wang Weidong, and said proudly: "Director Liu, Jingru has been sleeping less since she became pregnant. In order to let her sleep peacefully, I specially invited Carpenter Zhang from the street corner to use good nanmu to make a

Open this door."
