Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

In the west wing of the front yard of the courtyard, after confirming that Wang Dong received a high salary of 68 yuan this month, all the family members were immersed in joy.

Especially Chen Jun, the look he gave Wang Dong was nothing but admiration.

He used to take care of Wang Dong when he was in school, and always felt that Wang Dong was a child who never grew up.

Less than two years had passed, and Wang Dong had leapt from an ordinary person who was looked down upon to deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen, and a bona fide eighth-level chef.

You have to know that even if you get into college in the future and work in a steel mill after graduation, your monthly salary will not exceed 50 yuan, unless you become an engineer or a leading cadre.

Wang Dong graduated from junior high school and did not even go to high school. Within less than two years after entering the steel rolling mill, he earned a salary that many people would never get in their entire lives. This shows how capable he is.

"Uncle Chen, Sister Jun, today, in addition to the good news of getting my salary, I also brought back two unexpected surprises."

"Because I have made great contributions in the steel mill again, Deputy Director Li agreed to transfer my worker status to cadre status ahead of schedule. If nothing goes wrong, I will start receiving the 20th grade salary next month."

"To reward me, Deputy Director Li also suggested that the steel mill fleet should ask the purchasing staff to buy ten kilograms of meat for me every time they go to the Northeast to purchase wild vegetables and pork. We only need to pay 20% more than the cost."

"So from now on, we can get ten kilograms of meat from the steel mill every month at a very low price."

"Not only can I eat it myself, but I can also sell it for money..."

"I suggest that we celebrate tonight."

"I remember there are a few smoked old hens in the cellar. Let's stew one tonight and have a good meal..."

…………

eight pm.

Wang Dong had just finished dinner when he heard a knock on the door.

Chen Jun quickly stood up from the stool and rushed to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Qin Huairu standing at the door with a smile on her face.

After a moment's pause, he asked with a hint of hostility: "Sister Qin... do you have something to do so late?"

"It's Sister Chen Jun..." Qin Huairu said with a harmless expression.

If it were in the past, Chen Jun would definitely be deceived by Qin Huairu in front of him.

After witnessing the intrigues and all kinds of shameless behavior in the courtyard, Chen Jun has grown up and is not affected by Qin Huairu's words at all. He just stares at her blankly, waiting for her to continue, with no intention of inviting her in.

A hint of gloom quickly flashed across Qin Huairu's face.

It’s fine that Wang Dong looks down on me, after all, he is the deputy director of the steel mill’s kitchen.

The Chen Jun in front of me is just a student who doesn’t even know if he can get into university, but he actually looks down on me. That’s too much.

But Qin Huairu reacted quickly, and immediately covered the haze on his face with a smile, and continued with a harmless smile; "Please call Dongzi, I have something very important to talk to him about. It is related to whether he can continue to hold the position of deputy director of the kitchen of the steel rolling mill..."

Wang Dong has just been promoted to deputy director of the kitchen, and no accidents can happen.

Chen Jun became anxious when he heard Qin Huairu's words, and quickly shouted to Wang Dong in the house: "Dongzi..."

"Come here quickly, Sister Qin from the Jia family in the middle courtyard wants to see you..."

"Qin Huairu?" Upon hearing these words, Wang Dong frowned subconsciously, and at the same time, he thought of the scene of himself humiliating him at the steel mill.

At that time, I had told her clearly that the two families had become enemies and there was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

How come Qin Huairu, this shameless person, came to visit again just a few hours after the incident? In order to get rid of her as soon as possible and not disturb his family's rest, Wang Dong decided to tell her what he had said during the day again.

If he continues to act like a scoundrel like this, don't blame me for humiliating her again in front of all the residents in the courtyard and making her unable to raise her head in the yard.

When he reached the door, he said angrily: "Qin Huairu, I have already told you very clearly during the day..."

"Ever since the Jia family started plotting against my uncle Chen's workstation and house, the relationship between our two families has been unable to ease."

"Leave now, we need to go to bed."

When Qin Huairu saw Wang Dong, she pretended to be innocent and cried, "Dongzi, I know these things are the fault of the Jia family, but I am just the daughter-in-law of the Jia family and I can't make the decision, so these things have nothing to do with me..."

"If you are angry, you can vent it on my mother-in-law. I am innocent. My Banggeng, Xiaodang, Kuihua...are all innocent..."

Wang Dong shook his head and replied with a mocking look on his face: "Don't use the word innocent to save yourself anymore."

"Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family and had no say in the Jia family at that time, you have nothing to do with the word innocent."

"If I remember correctly: if the Jia family took Uncle Chen's job, this job would most likely fall into your hands, Qin Huairu."

"If the Jia family takes the house that was allocated to me by the factory, and Jia Zhang moves in, you and Jia Dongxu can live alone in the west wing of the central courtyard..."

"You've got all the benefits, and you still tell me you're innocent. How can you be so shameless?"

"Hurry and go..."

Qin Huairu did not move and continued: "Dongzi..."

"I came here tonight to apologize to you with sincerity..."

"I believe you will forgive me after hearing what I am going to say next."

"Just now I heard Zhuzi say: The second uncle of the Central Courtyard not only wants to plot against you in the courtyard, but also wants to plot against you in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill, and pull you down from the position of deputy director of the kitchen. He also said that Director Yang is behind this matter..."

"Come find me in the abandoned wing in the backyard later. I'll tell you how the second uncle plans to plot against you. What if we write off everything that happened between us?"

"You should know that I am telling you this at the risk of offending Second Master and Zhuzi."

"If I hadn't informed you, you would have definitely lost your position as deputy director of the steel mill."

After saying this, Qin Huairu looked at Wang Dong with anticipation, waiting for him to nod.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, Wang Dong had worked hard to become the deputy director of the kitchen and received a high salary of 68 yuan per month. He certainly did not want to lose his position as deputy director because of Yi Zhonghai's calculations.

So he would definitely agree to go with me to the abandoned room in the backyard.

The result disappointed her greatly.

Wang Dong acted as if he didn't hear his reminder and his face remained calm.

He stared at me and asked calmly, "Why don't you say it here? It's too troublesome to go to the side room in the backyard. Why don't you just say it here?"

Qin Huairu hurriedly explained: "I came here without telling the Second Master of the Central Court. He must not know about this."

"Besides, this matter is a bit complicated and will take quite some time. If Second Master sees this, he will definitely take revenge on me."

"After all, Second Master is still my master in the workshop." (End of this chapter)
