Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Sister Xiaohua, let's go!" He Yushui pulled Jiang Xiaohua, who was standing there in a daze. Chen Zhiguo had already walked forward with the child.

Jiang Xiaohua wiped her tears, smiled and said, "Let's go, catch up with them!" She took a few quick steps and followed Chen Zhiguo with He Yushui. Looking at Chen Zhiguo's back, warmth welled up in her heart!

Chen Zhiguo didn't dare to stare at Jiang Xiaohua. Before, at his grandmother's house, he just thought that Chen Weijun was really blind. He didn't want such a beautiful wife and fell in love with someone else in the city! Jiang Xiaohua, who was dressed simply, had a special round feeling after giving birth! In Chen Zhiguo's eyes, he felt that she was a good person and a beautiful woman!

Since Jiang Xiaohua and Chen Xueru lived together, she has really changed a lot. She wears all Chen Xueru's clothes. The two have similar figures, which is amazing. Chen Xueru's clothes are designed to be very close-fitting, without the fat and big ones that are unique to this era. Such clothes are particularly figure-flattering! Chen Zhiguo dared not look at it too much, and he also understood why there were lewd hands! On the street, the most eyes are focused on beautiful women. Whether it is appreciation or obscenity, they will always look at them twice involuntarily. Jiang Xiaohua is like this now, the focus of attention!

The troubles were soon driven away by new and interesting things. While walking and stopping, Chen Zhiguo had several more snacks in his hands!

"Brother, this is for you!" Chen Xiaoli held up a half-eaten piece of mung bean cake. Chen Zhiguo half-knelt down and ate it in one gulp. Looking at Chen Xiaoyue who was hesitating beside him, he said, "If you can't eat it, give it to me!"

Chen Xiaoyue came over happily, "Brother, you are so nice!", and ate another half piece of cake. Jiang Xiaohua behind him looked at Chen Zhiguo and his sister intimacy with envy! He Yushui beside him had hope in his eyes and lowered his head slightly!

Near noon, Chen Zhiguo drove the group of children into a teahouse to take a short break and wait for the grandparents behind them!

Although they walked and stopped for the whole morning, the little ones were already a little tired and didn't want to move anymore when they sat on the bench. Chen Zhiguo asked for a pot of jasmine tea, which is the favorite tea of ​​Yanjing people!

The groundwater quality in Yanjing City is not satisfactory. Most of the wells dug are bitter water wells. The bitter water here refers to well water with a lot of alkalinity. It is hard to drink because of its strong alkaline taste and bitter taste! This water quality also affects the tea drinking habits of Yanjing people. Old Yanjing people, whether rich or poor, love to drink jasmine tea, which is the so-called "fragrant tea", which is used to improve the taste of drinking water!

He poured some hot tea for the children to replenish their water, and ordered a few more plates of sesame cakes and melon seeds, letting Jiang Xiaohua and He Yushui eat slowly. Now he would take them to the restaurant for dinner. It was estimated that none of these children could eat, and they were full of snacks! After arranging them, Chen Zhiguo stood at the door of the teahouse, waiting for his grandparents!

After waiting for a long time, I saw this group of female soldiers walking forward while chatting. My grandfather followed behind them carrying things. "Grandma, here!" Chen Zhiguo started shouting from a distance and waved to them!

Grandma and her friends didn't buy much, but Grandpa was holding a few bags of snacks and some New Year pictures that Grandma bought! Grandma Hu and Chen Wanyi just came out to watch the fun and didn't buy anything. Jia Zhang did buy some, two bags of snacks, a small rattle, and some New Year pictures of fat boys. Jia Zhang said happily, "I'll put this picture on the head of my Dongxu's bed and ask Qin Huairu to give me two more fat boys like this!"

The people sitting there all curled their lips slightly, not knowing whether they were amused or wanted to say that three children, all with rural household registration, was too much of a burden! Jia Zhang just wanted children, but didn't think about how to raise them, right?

When Qin Huairu got married, she had a rural household registration. When she gave birth to Banggeng, she followed her mother and also had a rural household registration. If she gave birth to two more sons as Jia Zhangshi wished, the living burden would be heavy. Yan Bugui's family had a large population and a low salary, but they all had urban household registration and had grain certificates and planned grain. Except for Jia Dongxu, the rest of the Jia family had rural household registration and had to eat expensive grain. Even though Jia Dongxu was already a third-level worker and could get a salary of 45 yuan, could he afford it?

Although Jia Dongxu's work level can be upgraded in the future, level 52, 61, level 72, 84, level 99, , level , , level , , how many levels can Jia Dongxu be promoted to in the future? Does he have Yi Zhonghai's brains and skills?

Liu Haizhong is now a level 84 worker with a salary of yuan. His second aunt and three children still have urban hukou and can eat planned food. There is no extra money to arrange housing for the children. The three children are still squeezed into one room. Jia Dongxu's family still has one room. The children have grown up and there is no place to live? They have to sleep on top of each other!

Therefore, as long as you understand it, you can only say haha ​​to Jia Zhang’s idea, your idea is so beautiful!

Chapter 244 Brother! You hurt me!

After resting for more than half an hour, the group of people continued to stroll. When they passed a stall selling firecrackers, the children suddenly couldn't walk. Although Chen Xiaoli was a girl, she was still looking forward to setting off firecrackers during the New Year. Chen Zhiguo wanted to buy more, but he already had too many snacks and other miscellaneous things in his hands. He could only buy a string of small firecrackers with 100 bangs for each child to hold by themselves, and drive out to buy them when he had time!

There are not many types of firecrackers now. In addition to firecrackers, there are Ma Lei Zi, Ertiejiao, Qi Huo, Pao Da Deng Er, Tai Ping Hua and Hua Pot. Ma Lei Zi and Ertiejiao belong to the same type. The difference is that Ma Lei Zi has a single sound, Ertiejiao has a double sound, Qi Huo, also known as Zuan Tian Hou, and the remaining Pao Da Deng Er, Tai Ping Hua and Hua Pot are simple fireworks!

When Grandma Hu saw Chen Zhiguo bought firecrackers for Xiaoyong and Xiaojun, she was about to go over to pay for them, but was pulled away by her grandmother. "It's just a little thing. If you're so polite, it's too distant!"

We strolled around until about three o'clock and then started our return journey. There was no other way; the children could not hold on any longer. Chen Xiaoli lay on Chen Zhiguo's back, while Chen Zhiguo was holding Chen Xiaoyue in his arms. The things in their hands could only be shared among Jiang Xiaohua, He Yushui, and Chen Xiaomei!

After walking out of the crowded crowd, Chen Zhiguo found four tricycle drivers. The fare was not expensive, only 50 cents per trip, and four vehicles cost only 2 yuan, and they took all the people back! Although Grandma and Grandma Hu insisted that they could walk back in order to save money, they could not resist Chen Zhiguo's insistence and got on the car obediently!

When a large group of people appeared at the gate of the courtyard, especially Jia Zhang's loud voice, the small toys and firecrackers in the children's hands, and the piles of snacks in the hands of Jiang Xiaohua, He Yushui, and Chen Xiaomei, who appeared at the back, Li Ruihua, who was standing at the gate, felt sour and depressed. Why was he not welcomed by them? Why didn't they invite me to go shopping?

Walking on the overpass is just for fun, but in the days to come, every household will be busy preparing for the New Year. The second uncle is also very helpful. He bought back the side dishes for several families, including sesame paste, melon seeds, peanuts, and candies. The quantity for each family is not much, and they are all 2 taels! The shortage is supplemented by Chen Zhiguo! At the same time, Chen Zhiguo took out pork fat, pork belly, big carp, big pig head, pig's trotter, pig intestine, pig liver, etc. These things were handed over to He Yuzhu to deal with after get off work in the evening. In the past few days, the air in the courtyard is filled with the aroma of braised meat, which is pleasing and annoying! However, when it comes to the end of the year, every household will fry some things, and the smell of meat in the Chen family courtyard cannot arouse other people's suspicion!

After a few days of eating Laba porridge, it is the 23rd in a blink of an eye. On the 23rd, we have sticky sugar melons. On the 24th, we clean the house. On the 25th, we fry meatballs and tofu. On the 26th, we stew fish and meat. On the 27th, we kill a duck and a chicken. On the 28th, we make dough and steam buns. On the 29th, we stay up all night on the 30th. On the first day of the new year, we twist and turn. This jingle shows the busy life of each family before the New Year! It is full of the flavor of fireworks!

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to worship the Kitchen God, but nowadays people don’t stick Kitchen God stickers on stoves in the kitchen. Grandma just puts out offerings and worships quietly!

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to sweep the house. On this day, the accumulated dust of the past years is swept away, so it is also called "sweeping the year". On this day, except for Chen Dayong and Chen Xueru who have to go to work, everyone else in the family will do it together! Chen Zhiguo first cleans the high places such as the beams, and then the women clean the rest of the house, first the room, then the outside of the room, and finally the yard, cleaning everything inside and out!

The next few days were full of shopping. Chen Zhiguo bought tofu, chicken, duck, and various ingredients as instructed by his grandmother. On the night of the 28th, his grandmother, Wang Meihua, and Jiang Xiaohua began to knead the dough. They covered the basin with a white cloth and placed it on the kang to keep him awake. When Chen Zhiguo woke up the next day, the first pot of steamed buns had already come out of the pot. His grandmother didn't make much, but she steamed a whole pot of white flour steamed buns. Now, she even dares to put the steamed buns in the pot before everyone gets up in the morning, for fear that the fragrance of the white flour steamed buns would be smelled by others!

New Year's Eve is the busiest day. Although He Yuzhu is responsible for preparing the braised meat and fried fish, there are still many things that grandma insists on making herself. Although she doesn't need to do it herself, grandma insists that the food for the New Year is the most delicious if you prepare it yourself!

Early in the morning, Chen Zhiguo and Chen Dayong were woken up, set up a big pot in the yard, and began to prepare fried meatballs. There were several kinds of meatballs, tofu meatballs, radish meatballs, meatballs. Chen Zhiguo's grandmother also asked that the hairtail he bought be fried. All morning, the air above the Chen family's yard was filled with the aroma of fried food!

After frying for a whole morning, Chen Zhiguo had no appetite at all. He was so greasy from the oil that he just drank some cabbage soup! Chen Xiaoli and the others had no appetite either. While Chen Zhiguo was frying, they ate secretly beside him, eating all kinds of meatballs until they were full! When grandma saw them, she just smiled and didn't say anything. As long as they wanted to eat, they could eat. Wang Meihua beside them wanted to intervene but didn't dare to!

In the afternoon, Chen Zhiguo moved the big desk to the yard, cut the big red paper, and put the pens and ink on it. "Brother, do you really want me to write?" Chen Xiaoli stood in front of the table with a bitter face, holding the brush and was afraid to write!

Grandpa and grandma stood by and watched with smiles on their faces. Jiang Xiaohua and He Yushui were also watching!

"Yes, you have practiced calligraphy for such a long time, it's time to show it off! Be bolder, be more confident! Hurry up and write. Not only our family's, but also Yu Shui's family's and Grandma Hu's family's. You have to write. By next year, Xiaoyong will be able to write!"

Xiaoyong, who was standing aside, suddenly looked bitter!

"So many?" Chen Xiaoli looked at the cut red paper and felt that today's task was not easy. Not only did she have to paste couplets on the doors of the rooms, but also on the two courtyard gates. In addition, there were windows, water tanks, and stoves, all of which had the word "Fu" pasted on them. This was her own home, as well as Uncle He's and Grandma Hu's. Chen Xiaoli suddenly felt like she was on a pirate ship. Who had persuaded her to practice calligraphy in the first place?

"Brother! You're hurting me!"

Upper couplet: smooth sailing every year; Lower couplet: everything goes well step by step

First line: Happy New Year with laughter and joy; Second line: Happy New Year with a gathering; Horizontal banner: Happy family

First couplet: Spring is here, and all flowers are blooming; Second couplet: Blessings come to my courtyard, and peace reigns all year round; Horizontal banner: Happy Spring Festival

First line: Red plum blossoms stand proudly in the winter snow; Second line: Green willows shed catkins to welcome the new spring; Horizontal banner: Happy Spring Festival

The first line: intensive cultivation leads to a bumper harvest; the second line: diligence and thrift lead to more years; the horizontal scroll: a strong country and rich people

Chen Xiaoli began to write the couplet carefully according to the one that Chen Zhiguo had written in advance. It was a little unnatural at the beginning, the words were a little uncoordinated, and the spacing between words was not well controlled. After writing two pieces, Chen Xiaoli found the feeling and began to write freely and splash ink freely!

After Chen Xiaoli wrote, Chen Zhiguo took Jiang Xiaohua to start pasting couplets and blessing characters on each door. Grandpa and grandma smiled and watched their granddaughter write freely like a little adult. The happiness in their hearts was indescribable! In the countryside, being able to write big characters and couplets is considered a cultured person! How old is her little granddaughter? Eight years old! How can she not be so happy? They may not even know what Chen Xiaoli wrote, but they just think Chen Xiaoli has become a little adult!

Leaving two couplets on the courtyard gate unpainted, Chen Xiaoli wrote the couplets for Grandma Hu's house first. After Xiaoyong and Xiaojun waited for the ink to dry, they ran back quickly with the couplets in their arms, "Come back and use the paste. You don't have to go home and make them again!" Chen Zhiguo stopped them and handed them the paste and brushes!

"Xiaoyong, send it to my house when you're done!" He Yushui shouted. She was waiting for Chen Xiaoli to write couplets for their family!

"Got it!" The voice came, and the person had already arrived outside the courtyard gate, "Zhiguo, send some fried meatballs and hairtail over later. Sister Hu has had a hard time too!"

"Got it, grandma! I'll send it over right away!"

Chen Xiaoli rubbed her sore arm and looked at Chen Zhiguo, "Brother, you should write it next year. I am so tired!"

"If I don't write, the couplets in our house will all be written by you, a little calligrapher. Just think about it, when you go to school, you can tell your classmates that I wrote the couplets for our house and my neighbors during the Chinese New Year! Do you think they will envy you?"

Chen Xiaoli tilted her head and thought for a while, "Yeah! Their pencil writing is not as beautiful as mine!"

Chen Xiaoli just thought it was over when Jia Zhang came in with Qin Huairu and the stick, "Xiaoli, write our couplets too!"

Chen Xiaoli immediately looked miserable. Fortunately, Jia Zhang's house only had one room, so a couplet and a few blessing characters were enough! Jia Zhang was not stingy. She knew that the old Chen family had everything they needed, so it was not appropriate to give money. She just brought a few buns made by Qin Huairu!

Jia Zhang hadn't left yet. Chen Xiaoli was rubbing her sore arms and was about to take a rest when the second aunt came in. "Xiaoli, please help us write a few couplets. I think Xiaoli's handwriting is much better than that of Old Yan!"

Chen Xiaoli was a little unhappy at first, but what the second aunt said was nice. What does this child like most? Isn't it the praise from adults? Suddenly, she was full of energy again! Grandpa and Chen Zhiguo smiled at each other and said, "Write it!" This is also recognition from others!

The second aunt lives in the backyard and has little contact with grandma, but when she sees Jia Zhang, Chen Wanyi and grandma getting along like sisters, she is jealous and wants to get involved. Liu Haizhong also asks her to get closer to grandma. Now both she and Liu Guangqi have received help from Chen Zhiguo, and they are now in the limelight in the factory. It is very necessary to have a good relationship with the Chen family!

Just when she was worrying about having no excuse, Jia Zhang, who was chatting with her, saw He Yushui coming back with the couplets. She learned that it was written by Chen Xiaoli, so she immediately left her and took Qin Huairu to write the couplets. So, just when she was worrying about having no excuse to come to her house, didn't this opportunity come?

Chapter 245 Depressed and lost Yan Bugui!

Yan Bugui moved the table to the yard early in the morning, put out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and waited for the neighbors to come and write Spring Festival couplets!

However, this year, there were obviously not as many people as last year. Apart from a few neighbors, no one from the courtyard came. Yan Bugui was still wondering. First, he saw Xiaoyong from the Hu family carrying the Spring Festival couplets home. Soon, He Yushui also ran home with a bunch of Spring Festival couplets. When he passed by the front yard, he was still shouting, "Xiaoyong, give me the paste when you're done!"

"Got it, Sister Yushui, I'll give it to you right away!"

Not long after, Jia Zhang showed up with Qin Huairu. Yan Bugui thought Jia Zhang was here to write Spring Festival couplets. Although Jia Zhang paid the least for writing Spring Festival couplets over the years, a little is still meat! Just as he was about to pose, Jia Zhang didn't even say hello and walked past him without even saying hello. Qin Huairu shouted to him, "Hello, Uncle Yan!" and followed Jia Zhang into the Chen family courtyard!

Yan Bugui thought it was Chen Zhiguo writing Spring Festival couplets in the yard, and all these people went over to show their support! But he secretly stood by the door and looked inside, and it turned out to be Chen Xiaoli splashing ink and writing. This shocked him. How did the children of the Chen family get educated? They are all talented!

"Old Yan, what are you doing? If you want to see it, just go in and see it!" The second aunt's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Ouch! Why are you walking so quietly?" Yan Bugui was startled and complained.

"It's you, you are too narrow-minded!" The second aunt said sarcastically and walked into the Chen family courtyard. Yan Bugui looked at the families who went to Chen Xiaoli to write Spring Festival couplets. He felt lost in his heart. Every year, writing Spring Festival couplets was an important source of income for the family. The melon seeds and peanuts for the New Year all depended on Yan Bugui's exchange for writing Spring Festival couplets. This year, it seems that there is no hope!

When Yan Bugui was feeling melancholy, he saw Xu Damao pushing his bicycle into the yard. "Da Mao, Damao, you haven't put up the Spring Festival couplets this year, right? I'll write some for you!"

"Not yet? I just came back from my hometown just to post Spring Festival couplets!" Xu Damao is single, so he naturally has to go back to his hometown to spend the New Year with his parents. After posting the Spring Festival couplets on the house here, he rode back. He was about to agree to Yan Bugui to help him write Spring Festival couplets when he saw the couplets on the door of Grandma Hu's house. "Hey! This couplet has good words and the calligraphy is not bad either! Xiaoyong, Xiaoyong!"

"Uncle Damao! What's the matter?" Xiaoyong ran out of the room.

"Xiaoyong, where did you write the Spring Festival couplets in your house? The calligraphy is really good!"

Xiaoyong pointed to the Chen family courtyard and said proudly, "My sister Xiaoli wrote this!"

Xu Damao turned around and asked, "Chen Xiaoli? Did she write this?"

"Of course, Sister Xiaoli's handwriting is very good!"

The names in the courtyard are a bit confusing. Chen Zhiguo calls Grandma Hu "Grandma". He and Xiaoyong are of the same generation, Chen Xiaoli. Chen Zhiguo calls Xu Damao "Brother". Xiaoyong calls Xu Damao "Uncle" again. "Don't call me uncle anymore. Call me brother!" Xu Damao scolded, which made Xiaoyong stunned. I called you brother before, but you didn't like it and insisted on calling me uncle! Why do you want to lower your generation now?

"Uncle Yan, please stop! I'll go find Xiaoli to write!" Xu Damao took a look and saw that Yan Bugui hadn't started writing yet and was still polishing his pen, so he quickly stopped him.

"Da Mao, you can give me less money for writing!" Yan Bugui said pitifully. Xu Damao took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him. "Uncle Yan, this is not about the money. Xiaoli is my sister. As her brother, I must support her!"

If Chen Xiaoli heard Xu Damao say this, she would definitely say with disdain, "I need your support as a brother, can't you let me take a break?"

In the Chen family courtyard, before Xu Damao even got close, a voice came over, "There is a famous person in our courtyard. When I entered the courtyard, I took a look. Whose handwriting is this? It is written so skillfully and with divine strokes. It turns out to be Xiaoli!"

"Brother Damao!" Chen Xiaoli smiled sweetly, her heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey water!

"Xiao Li, please write a few more Spring Festival couplets for Brother Damao. I will keep them. When you become famous in the future, Brother Damao can show them off!" Xu Damao was good at talking. Chen Xiaoli was so happy that she was willing to help him write a few more Spring Festival couplets!

"Just praise her! You want her to practice more and not be proud of you, but you are doing the opposite!" Chen Zhiguo pretended to be angry.

"Xiao Li's calligraphy will become a great thing sooner or later, so is there any need to praise her?" Xu Damao took out a cigarette and lit it for his grandfather. Yan Bugui, who was looking outside to check, was so angry that he really wanted to throw away the Daqianmen in his hand. Xu Damao, you are so good, you have to distinguish between different levels when offering cigarettes, you look down on people! He wanted to throw it away but couldn't bear to do so, so he finally put it in his own empty cigarette box!

Everyone knows that Chen Zhiguo's family is not short of snacks. The second aunt brought a bowl of pork skin jelly and said, "I made it myself, don't be disgusted!"

Chen Zhiguo was not stingy and returned a bowl of meatballs fried in the morning. The second aunt said helplessly, "I came here to thank Xiaoli. What's the matter? Xiaoli, don't worry! Auntie will go back and get you some more persimmon cakes!" The second aunt ran back in a hurry. Xu Damao was even more awesome. He directly put on the handlebars of his bicycle and took down a roast duck that he had packed and was going to take back to his hometown, "Xiaoli, Damao will treat you to roast duck!"

"Brother Damao, this is inappropriate!" Chen Zhiguo hurriedly stopped him. How could he accept such a large thank-you gift just for writing Spring Festival couplets? Xu Damao couldn't compete with Chen Zhiguo, so he took out a few movie tickets from his pocket and said, "Please treat Xiaoli to a movie. Is this okay?"

"Thank you, Brother Damao!"

Chen Xiaoli didn't expect that her writing was not in vain. Not only did she receive a lot of compliments, but she also received delicious and fun things. These were earned by her own ability. She immediately felt that her time in practicing calligraphy was not wasted!

On New Year's Eve, everyone had something to do. After a few words, they dispersed. Chen Xiaoli could also put down her pen, and Chen Zhiguo closed the courtyard door! He had to write to Grandma Hu and He Daqing's family. Second Aunt and Xu Damao were just a side note. Since they came to the door, he couldn't refuse them. Chen Zhiguo saw Yan Bugui standing at the door of the courtyard, peeking in several times. He had to put down his pen and leave some money for Yan Bugui, otherwise Yan Bugui would have no melon seeds and peanuts to share with the children on New Year's Eve this year!

In the afternoon, the workers at the steel rolling mill started to leave work, carrying the New Year benefits distributed by the company. There were no production tasks in the morning, but they just arranged to clean the place. After lunch, they left work, carrying the benefits distributed by the company!

The door of the Chen family's courtyard was knocked again. Because the registered address was No. 95, unless it was an acquaintance, they would have entered the front yard of No. 95 and then knocked on the gate of Chen Zhiguo's courtyard, instead of knocking directly on the gate outside the old Chen's house!

The first person to come was the office director of the First Steel Rolling Mill. He came with his driver and, under the leadership of Yan Bugui, knocked on the door of Chen Zhiguo's home. Yan Bugui was quite capable. He insisted on standing by the door when Chen Zhiguo just pointed, waiting for him to open the door so that he could see him and remember his kindness!

It was not in vain. In addition to the visitor handing him a cigarette, Chen Zhiguo also handed him a cigarette. He pointed the way and got two cigarettes, both of which were Peony cigarettes! This made Yan Bugui very happy. This was more cost-effective than writing couplets!

The welfare sent by the First Steel Rolling Mill was not much, two catties of flour, two catties of soybeans, one catty of sugar, half a catty of sesame oil, two catties of pork, and five catties of hairtail! Looking at the standard, it should be given by the factory leaders! In addition, there was half a sheep, two Huazi, and two bottles of Taizi, which were sent by Lao Jiang alone!

Chen Zhiguo had just sent off the staff of the First Steel Rolling Mill, and before he could deliver these things into the room, the door of the courtyard was knocked again. This time, the staff of the Second Steel Rolling Mill, Yan Bugui, also successfully got two cigarettes! At the same time, he envied Chen Zhiguo for staying at home and having people come to deliver benefits. He didn't have to go to work, and benefits were delivered to his door!

There was basically no difference between what Lao Hu prepared and what Lao Jiang prepared. Well, they were both in the same factory, so we couldn't argue about who was better or who was worse, wouldn't that make the employees' New Year's celebration miserable? Except that the hairtail was replaced with five catties of freshwater fish from Inner Mongolia, and half a catty of sesame oil was replaced with ten catties of pork fat, nothing else changed! Lao Hu sent Chen Zhiguo a box of Taiwan and two Huazi separately!

Before they left, there was a knock on the other side of the courtyard door. It was Director Xu Dayou from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. "Zhiguo, this is your share of the benefits issued by the company."
