Yi Zhongding glanced at the open door across the room.

Big butt...

Pooh.

I can't hang out with He Yuzhu anymore; I've caught his infection.

Qin Huairu diligently moved a stool for her sister-in-law and poured her tea.

Then he pushed the stick lying in the small bamboo cart towards her to see.

This little bamboo cart was also made by Yi Zhongding. He folded it in half and charged a one-yuan labor fee.

The materials were provided by Jia Dongxu himself.

But theirs is a real little bamboo cart.

It is made of pieces of bamboo panels pieced together.

Yi Zhongding looked at it for a while, then lowered his head back to read.

In the past six months, he has come to understand the people in this compound, including the Jia family, who have the final say on whether the compound across the street is chaotic or not.

In fan fiction.

When Jia Dongxu was alive, he had five things to support his family: his master's help, Sha Zhu's help, his mother's tantrums, his wife's tears, and Bang Geng's theft.

If Jia Dongxu were dead, there would be one more treasure: the Dongxu hanging wall.

But the Jia Dongxu he knew was mostly soft-hearted and couldn't handle things.

But it's definitely not a green-haired turtle that can be supported by his wife's help.

Although they got married early.

But he's only a 23-year-old young man.

They'd still be in an ivory tower in later generations.

This is a time when saving face is of paramount importance.

He really needs his wife to flaunt her charms to support the family.

In this era where people may never leave their local neighborhood for more than a hundred miles in their entire lives.

Jia Dongxu's head is so bad that people could stomp it into the mud.

Although Liu Haizhong in the backyard speaks in official jargon, he doesn't scheme against you in any way.

People nowadays just like to be a leader who saves face.

As long as you say a few nice words to flatter them.

He was laughing more happily than anyone else.

Yi Zhongding beat up both of his sons.

They didn't say they were coming to get involved.

His stupid woman is here to demand so-called justice.

He yelled at me until I stopped.

When the two met, he said to Zhongding, "Zhongding, you are also an elder. We're all from the same compound, so we need to stick together when we're out here."

Why?

Because Yi Zhongding is never stingy with kind words that don't cost money.

Liu Haizhong's opinion of him was a thousand times better than that of that silly Zhu.

On the contrary, there was Yan Bugui in the front yard.

This person was someone he truly loathed to the core.

They completely lacked the integrity of a schoolteacher.

Only small business owners have this mentality.

If someone wants to ruin your plans, you don't need to offend them.

As long as you don't let him take advantage of you.

That's worse than offending him.

Yi Zhongding was reading a book.

Several men dressed in neat but faded Zhongshan suits walked in through the moon archway of the central courtyard.

There was another person, Yi Zhongding, who also knew him.

It was Director Zhang from the neighborhood committee who attended the family reunion banquet when I first arrived.

Ahead of them was Yan Bugui, who led the way with a fawning smile like a lapdog.

But they don't want official positions; they just want a pittance of money.

"Zhongding, where are your elder brother and sister-in-law? These leaders are here to see them."

Yan Bugui walked to the door, saw him, and shouted.

"Teacher Yan, please keep your voice down, my younger brother and sister are still asleep."

Yi Zhongding got up to greet him and was quite informal with him.

Before he could respond, she greeted Director Zhang first.

Then, addressing the men politely, he said, "May I ask what brings you here? My elder brother does manual labor and is exhausted. He's on holiday today and is taking a nap."

"Heh, you're Yi Zhongding, right? You made all of these things?"

The man in the lead didn't reply first, but instead pointed to the child's toys and asked with a smile.

"Yes, they're just kids' tricks."

Yi Zhongding glanced at his younger siblings' pile of toys to make sure he hadn't created anything that shouldn't have been there.

He was already being very cautious.

I'm afraid that one day I might accidentally turn my toy into a model of an American submarine.

Do not reply to these people first.

It's not surprising that they ask questions first.

"Hehe, right, I haven't introduced myself yet, please forgive me."

"We are from Kangyuan Toy Factory in Shanghai. I am Hu Jieming, the deputy factory director, and these are the factory's accountant and technicians."

"You might not know this, but that tin frog was produced in our factory."

"We came here specifically for the toys you made."

Hu Jieming said with a kind smile.

"Oh dear, my apologies, please come in and have a seat."

"This is my sister-in-law, Tan Xiulian. I'll go call my older brother."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhongding began to wonder why they had come.

It was just a bit unexpected for him.

He never expected that this famous toy factory, located far away in Shanghai, would appear in his home.

Moreover, the person who came should be a representative from the government.

It's similar to the Lou's Steel Rolling Mill where my older brother works.

Before the formal public-private partnership was established.

The state confiscated the shares of some capitalists or KMT officials who had fled.

Therefore, a representative was dispatched to be stationed there.

The transition was seamless when the public-private partnership was formally established five or six years ago.

The name Kangyuan Toy Factory has since faded into obscurity.

But in this era.

That's a very prestigious reputation.

It may also be the earliest toy factory to make money from the scraps of its main products.

The ancestor of factories in Hebei Province in later generations.

They were originally a can manufacturing factory.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a classic toy that has been popular with generations of children.

The most classic national toy, the tin frog, was first created by this factory.

One press and it bounces.

It's likely that many people haven't forgotten its existence.

They also copied German tin wind-up toys.

They came up with the classic "three jumps": jumping chicken, jumping duck, and jumping frog.

There are also a series of wind-up toys such as chicks pecking at rice.

Moreover, it was produced in 1935.

Later, in 1956, this factory also produced inertia braking toys.

It's the kind of toy car you hold in your hand, rub it on the ground, and it will run a short distance on its own.

It was also the first factory to successfully trial-produce electric metal toys.

Electric convertible toy car.

Have you ever played it?

The people in China are the pioneers of this technology; they successfully developed it in 1958.

"Boss, hello, hello, what brings you here to see our leader?"

Tan Xiulian put her hands in front of her chest and asked nervously.

She had just arrived from the Jia family home after hearing the commotion.

I didn't hear the whole thing.

"Sister-in-law Tan, don't be afraid. We are members of the organization. We have come to visit you today because there is something we would like to discuss with you."

Hu Jieming said politely.

"Oh, oh, Dingya, go and call someone, I'll make some tea."

Tan Xiulian was still restless and wanted to find someone to lean on.

These are people who came from the old era.

If you were to ask me about the people and things I fear most...

Officials and official matters are probably at the top of the list.

In the past, officials would visit someone's home for no apparent reason.

And he even had a smile on his face?

No need to ask.

It's definitely not going to be good.

Ordinary people are terrified of being cheated.

"No need, I'm up. And who are these gentlemen?"

As Yi Zhonghai buttoned his shirt, he walked out of the room and saw several strangers. He then asked them a question.

Yi Zhongding introduced the person to him again.

Only then did the two sit down and chat.

When Yan Bugui saw the peanuts and melons that Tan Xiulian brought out to entertain the guests, he couldn't move his feet.

He shamelessly plopped down on the floor.

Moreover, he was genuinely curious about what good fortune the Yi family had gotten into this time.

Why would the deputy director of a major toy factory in Shanghai personally come to Beijing to find them?

The Yi family doesn't like to kick people out.

The visitor was unaware of the situation.

Let him have a good meal like this.
