Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 9 Heels
As soon as he heard that a truck carrying a load of mountain products had returned, Xu Damao thought of coming to the cafeteria to take a look. Maybe Zhou Weimin was being treated to a meal by his superiors here.

But this idiot Zhu actually kept him in suspense, how could he not be annoyed!

Although he has only been promoted to a full-time position not long ago, he has made great contributions.

We are all brothers from the same courtyard. If we drink together more often, our relationship will become better.

When the time comes, when Zhou Weimin is happy, he can take out this method and let him try it out. Then there will be a bright future, right?
"You're late. I have an appointment after dinner. Please come earlier tomorrow!"

Seeing that he was really anxious, He Yuzhu no longer kept him in suspense and indirectly admitted that the person was upstairs.

"Shazhu, you are awesome, I will remember you!"

Xu Damao uttered a harsh word, and before He Yuzhu could come out to hit him, he ran out through the back door.

A small private room in the cafeteria.

When Zhou Weimin and Hong Sihai walked in, they saw there were only four side dishes on the table.

Deputy Director Li was pouring water into the four teacups in front of him with a smile on his face.

Li Huaide saw the two people coming in, and motioned for them to sit down first. Then he placed two teacups in front of them and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work in purchasing. Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."

"Director, I won't be polite. I'm dying of thirst."

Zhou Weimin picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves, took a small sip, and his expression became strange.

This water is so damn hot!
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's all what I should do."

Hong Sihai was a little flattered. Although his leader would usually let him eat something after a movie, this was the first time his leader poured him tea.

He really didn't expect that such a small matter would cause such a big commotion in the factory. He was extremely nervous.

Li Huaide put his hand on Zhou Weimin's shoulder and said to Hong Sihai with a serious face: "Hey, you can't think like that. If you have done something practical, you should publicize it and let everyone learn from it. Don't be so nervous. Today is to welcome you, not to let you accept criticism."

Then he smiled and said, "Comrade Sihai, you have done a great job in ideological propaganda. The cadres of the commune are very satisfied with your work. I think talents like you should not only do ideological work for the commune. I think you should be given more responsibilities. What do you think?"

"Follow the leader's arrangements and ensure the completion of the task!"

Hong Sihai immediately stood up and answered solemnly without any hesitation.

He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Deputy Director Li meant. Wu Honggang had already told him about it before, and if he hesitated now, he would be shameless.

"Hey, sit down, sit down, we are all family, why stand up? If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me and Director Wu, we will definitely help you solve them if we can. If you feel embarrassed, talk to Wei Min, don't carry it alone."

Li Huaide said something polite, and when he saw Liu Lan coming in, he sat back in his seat.

After the dishes were served and Liu Lan walked out, Hong Sihai whispered, "Thank you, Director, and thank you, Director Wu."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? We are all family, let's eat. Chef He's chicken stewed with mushrooms is his specialty. Many leaders from other factories come over and ask for this dish. You two should try it."

Wu Honggang greeted them cheerfully and stood up to pick up a piece of chicken for each of them.

Seeing this, Zhou Weimin stood up and poured wine for everyone.

He could see that Li Huaide and Wu Honggang probably didn't have many people available at the moment, otherwise they wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards them.

Although Li Huaide didn't mention him just now, he regarded him as one of his own in his words and deeds.

At times like this, just treat Hong Sihai as a guest to be entertained, and let him liven up the atmosphere and entertain you well.

As long as he doesn't rush for rewards, he will have a firm foothold in the logistics department after this. In the following time, under the leadership of Zhou Weimin, the four of them toasted each other and the atmosphere was surprisingly good.

Li Huaide and Wu Honggang only talked about interesting things and nothing else. Everyone felt very comfortable during the meal.

The meal was barely finished until the bell rang for the end of get off work.

Li Huaide was supported by Hong Sihai and left the small box first.

Wu Honggang and Zhou Weimin slowed down and followed the two men out.

Before leaving the box, Wu Honggang stuffed a few things into Zhou Weimin's pocket and whispered, "This is a personal reward from me. Don't say that I'm nice to others but don't take care of you, Director."

"Hey, Director, I won't be polite then."

Zhou Weimin replied with a smile, then quickened his pace and shouted, "Brother Sihai, slow down, don't fall down the stairs."

"This boy!"

Wu Honggang was slightly stunned, then he cursed with a smile and quickly followed.

He has enough people working steadily under him, but what he lacks is someone who can read the signs and handle things. This time, he has found a treasure.

After sending Li Huaide and Wu Honggang to the car and watching it leave, Zhou Weimin and Hong Sihai smiled at each other, pushed their bicycles on the car shed, and walked out of the steel mill together.

……

At night, Zhou Weimin, a little drunk, rode his bicycle slowly to the gate of the courtyard.

After several days, when he returned to the courtyard, his thoughts had changed.

Now, I actually find this courtyard a little more pleasing to the eye.

However, this good mood could no longer be maintained as soon as we entered the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw He Yuzhu walking out from the middle courtyard, with an obvious look of drunkenness on his face.

This was not the end yet. Yan Bugui probably heard the news of his return from somewhere, so he came out of the house and walked towards him.

"Wei Min, congratulations. Uncle Sanye heard that you have made a great contribution, and the leader has invited you to dinner."

"Hey, Uncle Third, why are you jumping out like a big black rat and scaring me?"

He Yuzhu didn't know whether he really didn't see it or was pretending. When he saw Yan Bugui coming, he took two steps back and patted his chest as if he was scared.

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and said unhappily, "How can you talk like that? Silly Zhu, why are you everywhere?"

He Yuzhu leaned against a pillar nearby and said nonchalantly, "I'm not wrong. I have an appointment with Wei Min today. If you have something to say, go ahead and talk. If not, go back to your room."

He was in a bad mood these past two days, so naturally he wasn't polite in his words. He had long been fed up with Yan Bugui's stinginess, so this was a good opportunity for him to vent his anger.

"I, I! Humph, you are not worthy of being my advisor! Weimin, I will come to see you tomorrow!"

Yan Bugui didn't want to make a scene with He Yuzhu so late at night, so he just turned around and left.

The main thing is that he doesn’t want He Yuzhu to hear about this, otherwise he will have to argue with He Yuzhu.
