Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru returned to Xu Damao's hometown today and took their children to visit Xu Damao's parents.

Xu Damao, the third generation of single family, now that he finally has a child, he will definitely publicize it in a big way.

At noon, Xu Damao's father invited almost the whole village to have a meal.

At the banquet, Xu Damao's father also took out the heirloom of Xu Damao's family and handed it into Qin Jingru's hands, and asked Qin Jingru to pass it on to this child in the future.

Along the way, Xu Damao was thinking about the family heirloom.

The heirloom is a wooden box with a lock on it, so I don't know what's inside.

But Xu Damao knew that the things inside must be very valuable.

Because Lao Xu’s family was also prosperous before.

Xu Damao's great-grandfather once served as a county magistrate near the capital.

This box was passed down from my great-grandfather.

but.

Now the box is in Qin Jingru's hands.

How could he give the box to Xu Damao?

So the two people were noisy along the way.

"Qin Jingru, this box belongs to our old Xu family. Logically speaking, I should keep it."

"Xu Damao, seeing what you said, your father personally gave this box to me. If I hand it over to you now, it would be a violation of your father's instructions. I, Qin Jingru, have no other abilities, but I am loyal to others who trust me."

I still understand the truth of the matter."

"you……"

"What if I have the ability? Ask your father to give you the box."

"This box is for our children, not for you. You can't be unreasonable."

"I'm being unreasonable? The box is in my hand. Now you want to get it over to me, but you actually say that I'm unreasonable. Xu Damao, are you feeling itchy?"

"..."

Xu Damao was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Because if Qin Jingru is offended.

If Qin Jingru returned to her parents' home with her child overdue, she would definitely be scolded by her father.

At this moment, Xu Damao saw people watching the house repairs.

Xu Damao was also a person who liked to join in the fun and got into the crowd without saying a word.

When he saw that the person who was repairing the house was actually He Wenhui, Xu Damao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

He quickly walked to He Wenhui: "He Wenhui, what are you doing? Is this your house?"

He Wenhui was shocked when she saw Xu Damao and his wife coming over.

She asked the steel rolling mill to get this house behind Xu Damao and Qin Jingru's back.

Qin Jingru, in particular, gave He Wenhui a lot of help when He Wenhui lived in the Xu family.

Qin Jingru was afraid that He Wenhui would not be full when eating, so she would ask He Wenhui's opinion every time she cooked.

As long as He Wenhui wants to eat, Qin Jingru will do whatever it takes to get it.

Even if He Wenhui wanted to eat meat, Qin Jingru would ask Xu Damao to ride his bicycle to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy it.

Also, as soon as He Wenhui moved into the Xu family, Qin Jingru made a new set of cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers for He Wenhui without saying a word.

Looking at the floral cotton-padded jacket, He Wenhui almost cried. She had lived in Yu Qiuhua's family for more than ten years and had never worn a new cotton-padded jacket.

The clothes she wore were all picked up from Yu Qiuhua. Only He Wenyuan and He Wentao could wear new clothes in the Yu family.

It can be said that Xu Damao and Qin Jingru treated her better than their own parents.

In this situation, He Wenhui felt a little guilty for concealing the fact that Qin Jingru had bought this house. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, and just stood there in a daze.

At this time, Qin Jingru also squeezed in with her child in her arms.

"Whose family has moved here? Why haven't I heard about it? This house seems to have been idle for a while..."

After she finished speaking, Qin Jingru's eyes fell on He Wenhui, her face suddenly turned ugly, and she frowned and asked: "He Wenhui, what's going on with this house? It doesn't belong to you, does it?"

Finally, when the critical moment came, He Wenhui could only sneer twice. She walked up to Qin Jingru and squeezed out a smile: "Jingru, I'm so sorry. I know that Brother Damao and you are very good to me. In your home

Those days were also the happiest days in my life.

But your children are slowly growing up. Your family only has two rooms. It is really inconvenient for me to live there. It just so happens that the steel rolling mill has a policy that as long as you are a fifth-level worker, you can apply for a room, so I

I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn’t expect that my application was actually approved.”

As he spoke, the child in Qin Jingru's arms woke up. This child was born to be bold and did not recognize others. He stared at his dark eyes and looked around curiously.

"I'll do it." He Wenhui used to hold the child at Xu's house. She reached out to pick up the child, shook the child gently, and said with a smile; "Sister Jingru, when I got the house, I was a little hesitant.

, but after thinking about it carefully, even though I moved out of your house, we actually still live in the same compound and are still neighbors. I can often come to your house to help, and I can often trouble you to help me cook, so I agreed.

.”

Seeing He Wenhui's sincere look, the anger in Qin Jingru's heart disappeared immediately.

She also knew that sooner or later, He Wenhui would definitely leave the Xu family and find a life of her own.

The reason why she was angry was because He Wenhui didn't actually tell her first. Now that she knew the cause and effect, she naturally forgave He Wenhui.

Qin Jingru looked at the busy workers and said: "It seems that there is no way to clean up the house today. It will be evening when it is done. Why don't you move tomorrow? We can also hold a farewell party for you in the evening."

Hearing this, He Wenhui was so moved that she almost cried. To avoid worrying Qin Jingru, she quickly turned away, wiped the corners of her eyes, smiled and nodded in agreement.

He Wenhui considered that Qin Jingru must be very tired today, and also thought about helping the Xu family. She turned around and walked to the third uncle Yan Bugui, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, I have to trouble you to keep an eye on the house repairs."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The third uncle looked at He Wenhui, then at Qin Jingru, turned his eyes and said: "It's okay, this is what I should do as the third uncle of the courtyard.

"

After finishing speaking, the third uncle looked at Xu Damao: "Da Mao, it happens to be tonight and I have nothing to do. You order the food and drinks on time, and I will bring a bottle of old wine to attend your farewell party."

When Xu Damao heard this, his face turned livid.

This old guy really knows how to take advantage of every opportunity.

It's just that Yan Bugui did help He Wenhui a lot. If he refused now, it would seem a bit unreasonable.

In addition, Xu Damao also has thoughts of competing for the boss.

Now Liu Haizhong's reputation is almost gone. If he just works harder, Liu Haizhong will be evicted from the position of the courtyard housekeeper by the street office.

At that time, whether Yan Bugui replaces the second uncle or a new steward is selected from the residents of the courtyard, Xu Damao's opportunity will come.

He is now the junior steward appointed by Wang Weidong. Since assuming this position, Xu Damao has made many contributions.

The only shortcoming is that the relationship between the masses is not good, especially in order to renovate the courtyard, Xu Damao offended Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

If he agrees, Yan Bugui will definitely be won over by him.

It's just that Xu Damao was not prepared to accept Yan Bugui's wine.

Just kidding, everyone in the courtyard knows that Yan Bugui has never bought wine in his life, but he has many bottles of wine at home.

The reason is very simple. Whenever Yan Bugui picks up waste, he will not throw away the empty wine bottles he finds. Instead, he saves them and puts them in a cabinet at home.

When attending a banquet, Yan Bugui would always carry an empty wine bottle in his pocket, and when the banquet was about to end, he would go from table to table and pour the unfinished wine from the guests' glasses into the bottle.

In this way, accumulated over the years, Yan Bugui relied on this method to save a lot.

Xu Damao is also a very particular person, and he considers himself unwilling to drink wine that contains various purifications.

"Third uncle, you are a highly respected steward in our compound. We are deeply honored that you are willing to attend our banquet. But forget about the wine. We still have two bottles of Laofen wine in our house, which is enough for everyone to drink in the evening."

After hearing Xu Damao's words, Yanbu Gui nodded happily.

Just kidding, he couldn’t bear to part with the wine he had worked so hard to save!

After Xu Damao and Qin Jingru left, Yan Bugui became more energetic and began to urge the construction team workers of the subdistrict office to work hard.

....

On the other side, Xu Damao, Qin Jingru, and He Wenhui began to get busy after returning to the Xu family.

Because Qin Jingru needed to hold her baby, Xu Damao and He Wenhui were the main cooks.

Although Xu Damao is a tall and rough man, he is actually very good at cooking. When he was fighting against Silly Zhu, he once vowed to surpass Silly Zhu in cooking skills, so he secretly found an old chef to learn cooking skills.

In the end, although I was unable to achieve this goal due to limited talent, I did develop good cooking skills.

Especially today, in order to hold a farewell party, Xu Damao specially prepared an old hen, two pounds of fat, half a pound of tomatoes, two onions, and two large carps.

With such rich ingredients, even people who don't know how to cook can make a delicious meal.

Soon, an alluring aroma of food drifted out from the Xu family's house.

At this time, the aunt had already prepared the meal.

Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu sat at the table, looking at the stick noodle porridge and fried potato shreds brought out by the aunt, their expressions were very ugly.

Especially because Yi Zhonghai's family has used up their quota of sanitary oil this month. When frying the shredded potatoes, they did not put oil in the iron pot, and the shredded potatoes tasted very unpleasant.

Yi Zhonghai just picked up two chopsticks and then put them down.

Bah bah!

Silly Zhu spit out the potato shreds in his mouth, frowned and said: "Mom, are you stir-frying vegetables? It looks like wild vegetables, this is too unpalatable!"

When the eldest mother saw the two of them looking disgusted, she felt aggrieved. She sat down on the chair and sighed: "You two are so angry that you don't even think about how difficult our family is now."

The aunt has been holding fire in her heart for a while, and she took this opportunity to finally let it out.

She clapped her fingers and said, "Lao Yi, we did save a lot of money before, but so many things happened a while ago, and all the money was spent. I also took a lot of money from my parents' family."

Yi Zhonghai hated hearing this and rolled his eyes: "Isn't it true that I'm still working in the workshop and getting paid every month?"

"Salary? Yi Zhonghai, I'm not angry if you don't mention the salary." The aunt said coldly: "Your steel rolling mill started to adopt a new wage calculation method six months ago. Only workers who work hard can get it.

In terms of salary, if you don’t work, you can only receive a living allowance of ten yuan per month.

It stands to reason that you are an eighth-level worker. If you want to work, just rely on your skills. The workshop will definitely arrange a lot of work for you.

But you don't do anything. You just hang around the workshop with an enamel jar every day, waiting for the monthly living allowance of ten yuan.

Ten yuan is enough for three of us to live now, what can we do?!"

"You..." Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly changed as his background was exposed.

These days, Yi Zhonghai has been immersed in his own fantasy, thinking that he is still the eighth-level worker, the eighth-level worker who even the factory director and deputy director have to give some face to when they see him.

He has never thought that the salary he earns every month is not as good as an ordinary temporary worker.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai also has his own grievances.

He took a deep breath, looked at the third aunt and said: "Honey, it's not that I don't work, it's just that you don't know something. The work in the workshop now is just menial work without any technical content. It only requires strength.

Now. Even an apprentice worker who has just joined the factory can do those jobs. As an eighth-level worker, do I have to compete with those guys for work?"

The third aunt also understood his difficulties: "Lao Yi, things are different now. The three of us still have to live. If you don't work, ten yuan a month will not be enough..."

"I'm old. Don't we have young people in our family?"

Silly Zhu, who was sulking with his head hanging down, suddenly raised his head when he heard this.

When he saw Yi Zhonghai and the third aunt looking at him with strange eyes, Silly Zhu was so angry that he slapped the table and said: "I am your son. You promised to take good care of me, but now you want me to work to support the family.

Are you sorry?"

In the past, Yi Zhonghai would not have forced her, but the situation is different now.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said: "Silly Zhu, your mother and I are not young anymore. Our health is getting worse day by day. Sooner or later we will be unable to work. You are young now and have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting this family."

The eldest mother also persuaded: "Silly Zhu, the amount of money Lao Yi and I have spent on you over the years has been lost to calculation. It can be said that if it weren't for the two of us, you would still be squatting in the fence now."

Silly Zhu finally understood that he, a pensioner, was now on duty early.

It's just that Yi Zhonghai and Auntia made the wrong idea.

Silly Zhu seems to be a kind-hearted person. In the original work, he is even willing to provide for the elders and ladies in the hospital in their old age.

But that's because he has his eye on the houses in the courtyard and wants to get them all and make a lot of money.

In fact, Silly Zhu is essentially an extremely selfish person.

Otherwise, he would not have accepted funding from Lou Xiao'e when he was with Qin Huairu.
