Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Wang Dong did not reject Uncle Chen's kindness. At the same time, he was also looking forward to tonight's general meeting. He wanted to know what tricks Yi Zhonghai would come up with to deal with him, and by the way, find out why Yan Fugui ignored him just now and whether there was any misunderstanding between the two sides.

Although he has accumulated considerable prestige in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai can't do anything to him even without the help of Yan Fugui, the third uncle.

But as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is definitely better to have one more friend in the yard than one more enemy.

…………

The central courtyard among the four courtyards.

When Wang Dong helped Uncle Chen arrive here, the three old men in the yard looked at him at the same time as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Seeing Chen Dehui appear in the central courtyard, both Yan Fugui and Yi Zhonghai frowned unconsciously.

Wang Dong alone was difficult for them to deal with, and now with the addition of Chen Dehui, a veteran, it would definitely be even more difficult to deal with him.

But now the arrow is on the string and they have to shoot it, so they can only take one step at a time.

Not long after Wang Dong helped Uncle Chen sit down, Yi Zhonghai stood up from his seat.

"Good evening, everybody……"

"The reason why the Second Uncle, Third Uncle and I are holding this meeting is because we have good news to inform everyone."

"The steel mill recently recruited 2,000 apprentices from among the refugees in the city, resulting in a sudden increase in the number of workers in the steel mill."

"In order to solve the problem of feeding these apprentices, I heard that our canteen will be expanded to twice its original size."

"All the previous apprentices were transferred to help in the kitchen, and more than 20 apprentices were recruited from outside."

"With the help of Wang Dong, Tang Dashan from our front yard entered the steel mill kitchen as an apprentice and became a member of the steel mill."

"I heard from Zhuzi that the canteen is still short of seven or eight apprentices. There are still several young men in our courtyard who have no jobs and do odd jobs outside every day. Not only is the salary low, but it is also very unstable."

"Wang Dong is the canteen supervisor of the steel mill. He has a very good relationship with the canteen director Zhou and the deputy director Li who is in charge of the logistics of the steel mill."

"As long as you are willing to help, I believe that several young men in our yard will be able to work as apprentices in the steel mill..."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wang Dong: "Dongzi..."

"Tang Dashan is from our courtyard..."

"The other guys are all neighbors in the yard. You can't favor one over the other. Now that I'm the canteen supervisor of the steel mill, I have the ability, so I'll help them if I can."

"Don't be too selfish..."

"I believe that those neighbors who have received your help will definitely be grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts. When those young men successfully join the steel rolling mill and become part of it, they will definitely repay you in the future."

Yi Zhonghai spoke righteously, and as soon as he finished speaking, the residents in the courtyard looked at Wang Dong at the same time as if they had agreed beforehand.

Some people looked shocked, some looked skeptical. They didn't expect that Wang Dong would have such great abilities within just one year of entering the steel mill.

Some residents even stared at Wang Dong with shining eyes.

Yi Zhonghai said that the young man was from their family. If Wang Dong could really send them to the steel rolling mill as apprentices, it would definitely be a rare opportunity better than pie in the sky.

Someone immediately spoke up: "Wang Dong..."

"You really can get someone to work as an apprentice in a steel mill... My eldest son has graduated for almost two years and has been doing odd jobs outside..."

"If you can really help send him to the steel mill, you will be a great benefactor of our Zhang family. I will definitely let the boss repay you well in the future..."

Another resident was afraid that Wang Dong's quota had been snatched away by others, so he immediately said, "Wang Dong..." "After your uncle Chen was injured, I helped him a lot. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lao Chen..."

"If you really have this ability, you must help my second son..."

"I'm already 20 years old and still don't have a stable job. I spend my days hanging out outside. If I continue like this, how will I get married in the future?"

"As long as you're willing to help... I'll sell everything I have to scrape together a hundred dollars to pay you..."

"If you think it's not enough, I can lend you money."

"As long as you open your mouth, one hundred and fifty yuan, or even two hundred yuan, is no problem."

Seeing that the residents in the yard were getting more and more excited, all clamoring for him to find jobs for their sons, Wang Dong's puzzled face finally showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

It turned out that Yi Zhonghai wanted to put himself in trouble by helping Tang Dashan enter the steel mill, so that all the residents in the yard would come forward and ask him to help them enter.

If I don't help, I will offend most of the residents in the yard.

If he agreed to help, he would only be a canteen monitor in the steel mill, not even a cadre. It would be impossible for him to arrange so many people into the steel mill, and he would end up offending all the residents in the yard.

Once he offended all the residents in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai would just instigate them a few times and he would be isolated from the entire courtyard, and he would surely face endless troubles in the future.

The reason why Yan Fugui did not inform himself of the content of the general meeting in advance was because he was also a beneficiary of this hospital-wide meeting.

They wanted to send Yan Jiecheng to the steel rolling mill in this way.

Wang Dong thought he had been very good to Yan Fugui.

Considering that Yan Fugui's family has a large number of people and their salary is low, I would help out whenever I could and bring them leftovers every now and then.

But Yan Fugui stabbed him in the back so that his eldest son could work in the steel mill, and he teamed up with Yi Zhonghai to plot against him.

After what happened today, Wang Dong has a thorough understanding of Yan Fugui's character.

As a person who even schemes against his own son, it is extremely difficult to exchange sincerity with him.

As long as someone gives him more benefits than himself, Yan Fugui will turn around and join forces with others to stab him in the back.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong felt a little disappointed, but he soon felt relieved.

If you are unkind, then don't blame yourself for being unjust.

I had originally thought that after Tang Dashan started working, he wouldn't have to bring leftovers to his house anymore, so if there were any leftovers in the future, I would give a few boxes to Yan Fugui.

Supplies in Sijiu City will become increasingly scarce in the next two years. The Yan family has a large population, so food will definitely become increasingly scarce at home. I will help as much as I can.

Now it seems that the leftovers and small fish and shrimps that I gave them before have all been fed to the dogs.

Wang Dong is not a saint, nor is he that magnanimous, and he will not pretend that what happened tonight never happened.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will never give the Yan family a box of leftovers or a small fish again. Whether his family is hungry or not has nothing to do with him.

Since Yan Fugui chose to be my opponent, I will definitely not treat him as my own anymore. It would be good enough if I don't retaliate against him.

Just as Wang Dong was frowning and analyzing the dangerous situation he was facing, the whole hospital had already started to noisy.

Not only did unemployed people with children come to him to ask for apprenticeship positions, but unemployed people without children also came to him to ask about jobs.

I was afraid that I would suffer a loss in this matter. (End of this chapter)
