Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Yan Jiecheng, who had just returned from outside, asked, "Mom, is what people say about you true?"

The third aunt slumped in the chair and nodded weakly, "What happened?" Feeling something was wrong, Yan Bugui quickly asked Yan Jiecheng,

"It was said outside that my mother tricked a dozen kids from the next alley here today, wanting to go to Chen Zhi's house to ask for steamed buns. Each person was given two steamed buns, and my mother collected one steamed bun from each child. She was mistaken for a human trafficker and was almost arrested!" Yan Jiecheng simply recounted her mother's story!

Yan Bugui was also frightened, but seeing that Li Ruihua was able to come back, it seemed that the matter was not serious. "Why do we need steamed buns when we go to Chen Zhi's house? What do you mean two steamed buns per person?"

"Chen Zhi's house is being put up today! Anyone who goes to congratulate him will get two steamed buns!" Yan Jiekuang replied. When Yan Bugui heard about this good thing, he immediately got angry, "Then why are you still sitting there? Go! You can save on lunch! Go!"

At Yan Bugui's urging, Yan Jiecheng brought his brothers and sisters over. Yan Bugui then asked the third aunt, "How did you deal with this matter?"

"Go and apologize tonight! You'll also have to pay for the medical expenses!" the third aunt said weakly.

"Just apologize, why do you need to pay compensation? Did you hit someone? Was he hit badly? Why don't you pretend? You got hit too!" Yan Bugui's heart started bleeding when he mentioned money.

"I didn't hit him. The child's grandmother fainted when she heard the child was missing. She was sent to the hospital. We have to pay for the medical expenses!"

"Why should we pay for it? She's not in good health, how can it be our business?" Once the word money is involved, Yan Bugui is not happy, and it is right not to pay! Yan Bugui rolled his eyes,

"My dear, why don't you pretend to be sick too? You should also go to the hospital. Was the wound on your face caused by a beating?"

"I was beaten and kicked several times!"

"Or, let's go to the hospital too and say that we were beaten and our whole body aches!" Yan Bugui was planning to muddy the waters and play tricks!

“Will this work? What if people say I’m a human trafficker and I was beaten when I caught the trafficker? Then I’d be in the wrong!” The third aunt is still very worried. What if things go wrong and my family has to pay for the hospitalization?

"You're in the wrong, but you can't hit someone! You'll be fine if you listen to me. When the child comes back, we'll go to the hospital. You just keep crying out in pain! Don't worry about the rest, leave it to me!"

The third aunt was skeptical and always felt that Yan Bugui's ideas were unreliable. However, Yan Bugui was the head of the family and she had to listen to what he said. Li Ruihua had no choice but to believe Yan Bugui!

Soon, Yan Jiecheng returned with his brother and sister, looking dejected. Yan Bugui looked at their empty hands and asked, "Where are the steamed buns?"

"They've all been distributed, there's no more!" Yan Jiecheng said unhappily. He felt it was shameful to go to someone's house to ask for steamed buns, but being a bit cowardly, he couldn't resist Yan Bugui's decision at all!

After returning from the subdistrict office, Chen Zhiguo stopped distributing steamed buns. Everyone who came would say that the steamed buns had been distributed long ago! He didn't want to be in the spotlight again. It was indeed a bit rash!

Yan Bugui didn't care about the children's depressed mood, "Yan Jiecheng, come on, hold your mother, let's go to the hospital!"

"Isn't my mother fine? Why are we going to the hospital?"

"Your mother has a headache, go to the hospital!"

"When our mom had a headache before, didn't you let her lie down in bed and rest? Why did she have to go to the hospital today?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up!" Yan Bugui was angry. No one can be relieved. They are all useless! They are not good at anything. They are like little lambs. When it comes to eating, they all turn into wolves!

"Dad, we haven't eaten yet?" Yan Jiekuang said.

"What are you eating? It's okay to skip a meal. Can't you see I'm busy taking your mother to the hospital? I haven't eaten yet!" Yan Bugui said angrily!

So Yan Bugui left his three children behind and pushed the bicycle. The three aunts sat on the back seat. Yan Jiecheng supported them from behind and took the three aunts to the hospital!

This road was so long, and Auntie felt that everyone was pointing fingers at her, as if they were all laughing at her! Her head was lowered lower and lower!

After Yan Bugui arranged for the third aunt to stay in the hospital, he felt so distressed! She didn't take any medicine, but she paid a deposit of 10 yuan for hospitalization! Yan Bugui was still thinking about how to earn this money back?

After finishing his hospital stay, Yan Bugui did not go to the street office to inform Director Wang. He felt that whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage at this time. He wanted to wait for Director Wang to come so that he would have the convenience of being at home. At this time, he even started to use military tactics!

Chapter 92 Delivery!

After an afternoon of hard work, Chen Zhiguo put in a lot of effort. The workers were also surprised at his physical strength. Even the strongest workers would work for a while and then rest for a while when throwing yellow mud on the roof! But Chen Zhiguo was like a perpetual motion machine that never got tired. As long as the yellow mud could keep up, he would keep working! The speed of laying tiles was quite fast. Chen Zhiguo caught up with the workload of three workers!

Although the roof tiles have been laid, indicating that Chen Zhiguo's east wing has been completed as a whole, there is still a lot of finishing work to be done. The workers will have to work for a day or two, and then move on to decorate He Yuzhu's house. The house here needs to be aired for a few days!

Chen Zhiguo did not let the workers go back, but instead arranged a table to thank the workers for their hard work!

In the new house, two round tables were set up, a temporary light cord was pulled over, hot tea was poured for the workers, and two packs of cigarettes were placed. Chen Dayong chatted with them, while Chen Zhiguo and He Yuzhu went into the kitchen and started to get busy!

There are no elaborate dishes, just big pot dishes, all of which are big eaters, and the main feature is that the food is rich in oil and large in quantity and can fill you up!

He Yuzhu tasted the Northeastern hotpot and said, "Not bad!"

Chen Zhiguo took a look and said nothing, busy with the dishes in his hands! When He Yuzhu was cooking, Chen Zhiguo was just a kitchen helper, sometimes not even a kitchen helper, because He Yuzhu disliked that his knife cut too slowly!

The next dish was braised wild rabbit. Chen Zhiguo took out four rabbits at once and served them generously, allowing the workers to eat their fill and enjoy their meal!

There is no fish and no time to buy some, so I might as well just eat meat!

There is a lot of meat in the space. The last two dishes are braised pheasant and braised roe deer meat! Such heavy taste is the favorite of the workers!

He Yuzhu was also impressed by Chen Zhiguo's magical powers. In his understanding, for a teacher with a strong background, what supplies could he not get?

There are meat and vegetarian dishes, four vegetarian dishes: stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms, scrambled eggs with leeks, spinach vermicelli, and hand-shredded cabbage!

The first four cold dishes served were perfect for drinking: fried peanuts, salad lettuce, mixed shredded vegetables, and salad tomatoes!

When the dishes were served, the workers were so moved that they had never met such a good host, such a kind family, and had never received such high courtesy. The workers' hearts were warm!

There are four bottles of Erguotou on the table, and ten bottles on the side, so that more can be added if it is not enough. Two packs of Mudan are also placed on each table. The luxurious completion banquet has officially begun!

After Chen Dayong brought the wine, Master Ma stood up and said, "I have been doing this business for almost 30 years. This is the first time I have received such high treatment. I will not say anything to thank you. Everything is in the wine! Thank you for the hospitality!"

Before he finished speaking, the workers all stood up. In Chen Zhi's house, they felt what courtesy and respect were! They would probably remember this meal for the rest of their lives!

The Chen family father and son also stood up quickly, and everyone drank a glass together!

"Eat food, eat food, drink slowly, and eat more food! This is the chef from our steel mill, come and try his cooking!"

At the end of the banquet, He Yuzhu went to cook some spicy soup to help with hangovers. It was hot and spicy, and went great with steamed buns!

"I'll leave my house to you guys. When it's finished, I'll treat you guys to a drink!" He Yuzhu is also a man of temperament. When he drinks, he's naturally generous! Only Chen Zhiguo knows that He Yuzhu's words are nice, but he still wants him to bring out the food. Forget it, considering that he has worked so hard to help, he will save his face!

Hearing that there would be another such hospitality, the workers had nothing to say. They patted their chests and promised to clean up He Yuzhu's house properly!

They are simple and honest, and they don't say nice words, but what they say is a promise. Even if it is difficult to accomplish, they will definitely do it. Just like Lao Ma, who was a little drunk, patted his chest and said excitedly, "If you are not satisfied with the work, take off my head and kick it like a ball!"

Just as the Chen family was laughing and talking, Director Wang was so angry that he was fuming!

We agreed to take Li Ruihua to apologize to the parents of the child, especially the one where the grandmother fainted. At least we should go and say sorry and pay the medical expenses! But when it got dark, no one showed up. We asked the clerk to go to the door to call for help, but Yan Bugui refused and said that Li Ruihua had a headache and was hospitalized. He also asked the attacker to pay for the medical expenses!

Director Wang was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He was trying to turn the tables! Yan Bugui, I knew you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and plot against me! Director Wang regretted not dealing with Li Ruihua at the time, otherwise such a thing would not have happened!

But now there is no time to deal with her, as the publicity activity is about to begin, and she has to go and see the effect of the publicity, especially the parents of the children this morning. She has to visit, comfort, and educate them at the same time. She really can't get away!

Director Wang could only suppress his anger and set off with the staff from the street office!

As the matter fermented, the next day, the whole city of Yanjing knew that there was such a stingy weirdo in Nanluoguxiang. Of course, the higher-ups also learned about it. Their focus was not on Li Ruihua, but on the dozen or so people who were still being deceived. Such a large-scale abduction, the consequences it could cause, and the subsequent handling by the street office. After thinking about the whole incident carefully, the leaders were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat!

When Director Wang was trying to understand the situation with great emotion, unexpectedly, Director Wang gave the leader an unexpected surprise!

"Leader, in response to what happened yesterday, all the staff of our subdistrict office launched a publicity campaign to prevent human traffickers in the area overnight, and the response was very good. Next, I plan to carry out this activity not only in the residential areas of the area, but also contact the schools in the area today to give lectures to the students in the schools to raise their awareness of prevention!"

The superior who originally wanted to question Director Wang’s inaction was moved by Director Wang’s report. He felt that this activity was meaningful. In order to understand the situation clearly, he asked Director Wang to come over and report in person!

After reading the announcement written by Chen Zhiguo, the district leaders also thought that the draft was easy to understand and of high quality, and was a rare piece of propaganda material! They immediately decided to use Chen Zhiguo's draft for the district's propaganda activities. Thus, Chen Zhiguo's name appeared in front of the leaders for the first time!

Of course, Chen Zhiguo didn't know all this. He was in class. Today, during a break at the Polytechnic University, Chen Zhiguo said to Jiang Yuehua, "Sister Yuehua, please do me a favor!"

"What's the matter? Do you still need to beg? Little brother." Still in the same tone. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo has adapted to it. At the beginning, he would blush and get angry at Jiang Yuehua's voice!

Chen Zhiguo told Jiang Yuehua about Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaoyue's schooling, "I'll go home and tell my mom, and you can listen to it on Monday!" Since it was about Chen Zhiguo's sister going to school, Jiang Yuehua did not hesitate and agreed very readily!

"Thank you so much, Sister Yuehua!"

"Then how are you going to thank me?" Chen Zhiguo fled in panic. Jiang Yuehua's eyes were hooked.

"This stinky little brother!" Jiang Yuehua stamped her feet in anger, "How dare you run away? Wait till I show you how I'm going to deal with you!"

"You haven't done your job well, but you want to benefit from others. Who wouldn't run away? If you don't want to do it, I will help him do it!" Sister Jiang Yuechen said in a stern voice.

"Hmph! You're so beautiful! This is something Chen Zhiguo asked me to do, don't even think about it!" Although Jiang Yuechen's family didn't have anyone working in the Education Bureau, they did work in the government. This kind of small matter could be done with just a word of advice. Of course Jiang Yuechen wanted to snatch it, but how could Jiang Yuehua let her succeed!

The next day was Sunday. Chen Zhiguo came to the steel rolling mill early in the morning to drive the GAZ-69 prepared for him by Li Huaide. Because his family was building a house, he did not return to Chenjia Village last week. Although Li Huaide did not question Chen Zhiguo, Chen Zhiguo felt a little guilty. After all, he did not do what he promised, and he did not go back to take his younger sister with him!

As usual, he handed a cigarette to the guard. Chen Zhiguo would never forget such a small thing! Because he had to pick up his sister, Chen Zhiguo only had lunch in his hometown and took his sister back. Although his grandparents were reluctant to let him leave, they knew that he was really busy recently, with things at home and at work. This is how it is when children grow up, they can't stay with them!

Chen Xiaoli was the most excited. She could finally sleep independently without the supervision of adults! The utility room had been cleaned up long ago. Wang Meihua even made two sets of new bedding for the Chen sisters. A big kang was more than enough for the three sisters to sleep on. Chen Zhiguo went to a second-hand store and bought them a long table for calligraphy, so that the three sisters could sit together to read books and do homework!

Chen Zhiguo also replaced the light bulb in the room with a 40-watt one. He wanted to install a 100-watt bulb, but the salesperson looked at him with contempt and said coldly, "No." In the end, he chose the largest 40-watt bulb. For this reason, Chen Zhiguo went to a second-hand store to buy a desk lamp so that he would not hurt his eyes when reading and studying at night!

He Yuzhu started to tidy up his room today, and the workers will start working tomorrow! He Yuzhu moved all the furniture that could be used in the house to He Yushui's room, and the unused furniture was piled up in the yard!

Before the house was renovated, he slept in He Yushui's room, and when He Yushui came back from vacation, she would squeeze in with the three sisters of the Chen family!

After discussing with He Yushui, He Yuzhu still chose to use the design of the bed, so that the space in the room is large! Instead of installing a flue on the wall for heating, he chose to install a water heating pipe for heating!

Just choose a good plan. Chen Zhiguo will just have to work a little harder to measure the dimensions and draw the design drawings. He Yuzhu can find people to process the pipes and other things at the steel rolling mill. He just has to pay the factory for the materials!

Chapter 93 Gu Cheng with a dark face

He Yuzhu's old house does not reach the beam, and the room height is about 5 meters. Chen Zhiguo designed a two-story structure for him, so the height is sufficient!

On the first floor, there is a bedroom, living room and storage room. The storage room can also be used as a guest room and it has a single bed!

There are also three rooms on the second floor, a larger bedroom, a smaller bedroom, and a study! He Yuzhu can choose the downstairs or upstairs room as the master bedroom, both are the same size. The small room on the second floor is reserved for the child to sleep alone when he grows up. Chen Zhiguo designed a desk and bookcase for it!

After consulting Master Ma, the entire second floor did not choose the steel structure designed by Chen Zhiguo as the support, but a fully wooden structure. Master Ma specially selected old beams from demolished houses as supports and cross beams, and re-polished and repainted them. Master Ma guaranteed that it would be no problem to use it for a hundred years. The owner respects them, and they also do their best to serve the owner and try to save as much money as possible!

Chen Zhiguo specifically asked Master Ma to open a few windows on the roof so that the roof he had damaged before could be repaired! Moreover, the ventilation and light on the second floor were also improved!

At this time, Chen Zhiguo didn't want it to rain. After all, his house had not been built yet and needed clear weather!

There is indeed very little rain this spring, and signs of drought are already appearing!

The output in Chen Zhiguo's current space is enough for Chen Zhiguo to cope with the difficult period that is about to begin. I can't guarantee anything else, but there will be no problem with his family's food and drink!

This time when returning to their hometown, Grandpa and Chen Dalong were both worried. They are both farmers and are very sensitive to such weather changes!

Chen Zhiguo brought a hundred little rabbits to Chen Dalong, all in pairs of male and female. As for how Chen Dalong distributed them in Chenjia Village, he did not interfere. Chen Zhiguo only promised that he would come and collect the rabbits when they grew up!

In the evening, the GAZ-69 entered the gate of the steel mill. Although the guards were familiar with the place, they still did not skip any necessary inspections! I looked into the rear compartment from the passenger seat. Wow! There were big fat pigs and wild rabbits in the rear compartment!

"Did you get it?" the guard asked, swallowing his saliva.

"I was just helping with transportation. How could a young guy like me have such ability?" Of course Chen Zhiguo couldn't admit it. As long as I don't admit it, what you say is none of my business!

Of course, Chen Zhiguo was not stingy. He handed the guard a cloth bag containing a pheasant as hush money and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

This gift was better than anything else. The guard took one look at it and his mouth suddenly opened wide. Meat! This is hard currency, and it is hard to buy even if you have money! In a factory as big as the steel mill, there is not even a little meat in a month. The price of meat on the black market has gone up like crazy, but there is still no stock!

Even more surprised than the guards were the staff on duty at the logistics warehouse. Ever since Chen Zhiguo gave them half a hare last time, they no longer complained about being on duty on Sundays. Instead, they looked forward to being notified by their leaders that they would be on duty on Sundays.

Since the wild boars in the space have adapted to the environment, the big boar has not been idle during this period. The good environment of the space seems to have given it endless energy, and it is busy every day!
