Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"I want to buy a dozen boxes. Is there any?" Although this deer antler wine is not as effective as the one brewed by Lao Luo, there is absolutely no fake wine here, it is absolutely made of real ingredients!

"Yes, yes! Then come with me to the warehouse and have a look?" The salesperson greeted enthusiastically. The exchange ratio of national grain coupons to local grain coupons is not one to one, and there are also half a catty of oil coupons. Therefore, the salesperson can get a very cost-effective deal. Even if she uses wine coupons to make up for it, it is still cost-effective for her!

There were still eighteen boxes of deer antler wine in the warehouse, and Chen Zhiguo wanted them all. Just when he was about to leave the warehouse, Chen Zhiguo saw a pile of old boxes in the corner, with the word "TAI" vaguely visible on them!

"Is this wine?"

"Yes, it was just that we encountered a rainstorm when we were transporting the goods back. As a result, the packaging boxes were damaged and we couldn't sell them. They have been piled here for several years!"

Chen Zhiguo took a closer look, stretched out his hand from the gap in the wooden shelf, and grabbed a bottle of wine. The label on the shelf had been half soaked, and the vaguely visible production date was 1953!

"What should I do with this?" Chen Zhiguo also wanted to get a bargain, but if the price was too high, he naturally wouldn't be a sucker!

The salesperson and the warehouse manager walked aside to discuss it, and then said to Chen Zhiguo, "Two dollars a bottle, but we want to exchange some national food coupons with you!" A normal bottle sells for eight dollars and seventy points, and you need a Class A wine ticket. Two dollars is a good deal, buy it back and drink it yourself!

"How much do you want to exchange?"

The salesperson and the warehouse manager looked at each other and said, "Two hundred pounds!"

"Okay! I'll take them all!" Chen Zhiguo didn't hesitate. As long as there was no problem with the seal of the wine bottle, there would be no problem with the wine inside. There was no high-tech counterfeiting technology nowadays!

"Comrade! I have some aged wine here, do you need it?"

"What wine?"

"Come here, I'll take you to see it." The warehouse manager led Chen Zhiguo into the warehouse. There were more than a dozen wine jars stored in the innermost part of the warehouse. No one had moved them for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on them!

The warehouse manager wiped it with a cloth, revealing a piece of red paper that had turned red, with "Jidequan Old Distillery" written on it!

"It's just our local famous liquor. We received this batch of goods when we opened. We originally planned to sell it in retail, but the boss considered that we were a big store and didn't do this kind of business. He assigned the job of bulking the liquor to the supply and marketing cooperative on the street below. This batch of liquor has been left unattended ever since!"

Chen Zhiguo took a closer look at the trademark. In addition to the words "Jidequan Old Distillery", there was another line of small characters with a stamp on it! After careful inspection, the production date was 1945, which is fifteen years ago!

"What should I do with it?" No matter whether you want it or not, ask the price first. If it's cheap, buy it back and give it to grandpa to drink!

"The retail price is 50 cents per pound, and a jar costs ten yuan!"

"That's retail, what do you do now?" Chen Zhiguo said with a frown, looking unwilling!

"How about five bucks?"

"Not so good. If the boss doesn't like this kind of wine, it will be a waste. How about this, three dollars?"

In the end, the price was negotiated to four yuan, but it had to be paid with equivalent national food coupons, so Chen Zhiguo accepted another fourteen jars of old wine!

Here we need to explain why these warehouse managers didn't deal with the wine earlier? This is the core problem. It is possible to deal with it bit by bit, but if they can't finish it, and they count the warehouse one day and find that there are a few jars of wine missing, it will be difficult to explain. If Chen Zhiguo takes it all at once, they can erase it from the account at once. Moreover, the price Chen Zhiguo gave is high, and he used national food coupons, so they can make a profit. This is why they deal with it to Chen Zhiguo!

Of course Chen Zhiguo is not a fool. He asked for a receipt when he paid so that he could explain everything clearly in the future!

Such a pile of goods was too big for Chen Zhiguo's small jeep to load, so the warehouse manager enthusiastically helped and called two flatbed trucks. According to the old rules, they unloaded the goods at the triangle in front of the Chunchang Automobile Factory. It was a long journey, and the two flatbed trucks were sweating profusely. Chen Zhiguo did not treat them badly. On top of the one dollar fare, he gave them one more dollar. This made the two flatbed trucks very happy. This outsider was really generous!

After packing up everything, Chen Zhiguo returned to the guesthouse with the cakes and candies he bought! Seeing that Chen Zhiguo really bought things for his sister, Li Guoqiang also smiled and shook his head. It is really a blessing to have such a brother!

Just as Chen Zhiguo and his friends were having dinner on the train, a meeting was being held in the courtyard!

Now there is an old man in Liu Haizhong, but the one attending the meeting today is not him, but Director Wang from the street!

It is said that the leaders above were very satisfied with the anti-abduction publicity carried out a few days ago. There are also rumors that Director Wang will be promoted to a district position soon!

Chen Dayong sat with He Daqing as a representative, He Yuzhu stood behind them, He Yushui and the three sisters of the Chen family were doing homework at old Chen's house. Wang Meihua was not interested in these at all and stayed at home with her children!

Liu Haizhong stood and counted the people. Seeing that everyone was present, he said, "Everyone, please be quiet and stop talking. Let's listen to Director Wang from our subdistrict office announce something!"

"Residents of the Siheyuan, I came here today to talk to you about a few things. The first thing is the incident not long ago where Li Ruihua abducted a group of children. Originally, this matter was easy to resolve. Li Ruihua could have just apologized to the parents of those children. But later, Li Ruihua was hospitalized and was diagnosed with mental illness, so this matter was delayed!"

The word "mental illness" is not a nice word. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Bugui and the three aunts!

"However, according to our investigation, Li Ruihua's condition is suspected to be a fake. Yan Bugui, please step forward!"

Yan Bugui knew that something was wrong, but he still forced himself to stand in front. His two little eyes kept blinking, which showed that he was extremely nervous!

"Yan Bugui is giving you a chance. Is your wife Li Ruihua mentally ill?"

"Director Wang, doesn't it say in my wife's medical record that she should go to the Sixth Municipal Hospital for a checkup? Have you been there?"

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, he still wanted to hold on!

"We went to the hospital and found out that Li Ruihua cried out in pain as soon as he saw the doctor. He was either faking an illness or he had a neurological problem. This matter has been dragging on for a long time. We have to solve it tonight!"

"Yan Bugui, tell me, what's going on!"

Yan Bugui still didn't say anything.

Director Wang also lost his patience. "Well, I'll notify the Sixth Municipal Hospital tomorrow and ask Li Ruihua to go in for a checkup!"

Yan Bugui was anxious, "Director Wang, we won't go to her house, she can just stay at home and take care of herself!"

Director Wang responded with a backhanded attack, "If Li Ruihua is really mentally ill, what if he has an attack? Every household in and outside the hospital has children! Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the whole hospital were fixed on Yan Bugui and the third aunt, "If her family doesn't go, kick them out! We don't want mentally ill neighbors!"

Someone in the crowd shouted. At this time, everyone was talking about it. Although they had been neighbors with Yan Bugui for many years, when it came to their own children, how could they care about the neighborly feelings? Besides, Yan Bugui was stingy and didn't have any real friends. It was a good thing that he didn't take advantage of them. Who would get close to him? In the past, they respected him as the third uncle in the courtyard and endured a little resentment. Now he is nothing, and everyone doesn't care about him anymore!

Chapter 134 The useless manager!

Faced with everyone's discussions and calls, Yan Bugui felt that he was in big trouble this time!

"I'm not crazy, I'm just pretending, old man, please say something!" Li Ruihua was the first to lose his temper. He was going to be driven away and his family was going to be gone. How could he live like this? Besides, what would happen to these children if he was labeled a crazy person? It was difficult to find a wife, so Li Ruihua complained about Yan Bugui a lot. However, Yan Bugui had already spent so much on medical expenses, so he had to stick to it!

Now look what has happened, not only has I gained nothing but also left a bad reputation!

"Director Wang, I was wrong! I misunderstood what the doctor meant!" Yan Bugui lowered his head. Reality did not allow him to resist any longer. Looking at the excited crowd, Yan Bugui also panicked!

Director Wang didn't care about Yan Bugui's word games, as long as he admitted that Li Ruihua was pretending to be crazy! But Yan Bugui's attitude made her very dissatisfied. This old man wanted to play tricks all the time. It's okay with others, but with her? Haha!

"I'm still worried. Why don't we ask the Sixth Municipal Hospital to come over tomorrow to take Li Ruihua for a checkup?" Director Wang added fuel to the fire.

"Old man, just say something!" The third aunt was anxious. The Sixth Municipal Hospital was such a terrifying place in the eyes of ordinary people. There were no good people there. It specialized in treating the mentally ill!

Li Ruihua was worried about being taken away for examination. If something was wrong with his performance and he was misdiagnosed, it would be a big trouble!

"Oh! Director Wang, I was wrong. I don't want to pay that family's medical expenses, so I came up with this idea!" Yan Bugui finally lowered his head. He made a small plan but ended up losing more than he gained!

"Okay, since you've admitted your mistake, you and Li Ruihua should go to the street tomorrow to resolve the last matter. We can't delay it any longer! You go down first!"

Yan Bugui lowered his head and walked back home silently. As for what else Director Wang had to announce, he didn't want to listen anymore!

"Now I'm going to talk about something! It's about Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai has embezzled all the living expenses that He Daqing sent to He Yushui over the years. This is an extremely bad thing, and I feel deeply sad. Yi Zhonghai has been the steward of the courtyard for so many years. This is my dereliction of duty. I apologize to Comrade He Daqing and He Yushui in front of everyone!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he bowed to He Daqing, who quickly jumped up and said, "You can't do that. It's all my fault. I did something stupid and caused the children to suffer. Last time you helped Yu Shui, I didn't even thank you for that!"

"These are two different things. My job is to serve our residents. We will help everyone find solutions to problems big and small! It is my dereliction of duty if I did not notice Yi Zhonghai's wrongdoing!"

"However, doing bad things will not end well. Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to fifteen years in prison and sent to the northwest for labor reform! I hope everyone can learn from this and not be greedy or do wrong things!"

"Director Wang, I want to divorce Yi Zhonghai." Chen Wanyi stood up. She no longer wanted to bear the bad reputation brought by Yi Zhonghai! Today was a good opportunity to bring it up. Now that she had so much pension money in her hands, she could support herself without going out to work!

"Sure, Aunt Chen, please bring your household registration to the street office to see me tomorrow!" Chen Wanyi's request was legitimate, so Director Wang agreed without hesitation!

"There is one more thing. Liu Haizhong is the only one busy in our courtyard, so we are selecting an old man now. I hope everyone will sign up enthusiastically!"

In fact, apart from being able to deal with minor disputes between neighbors, the uncle of the courtyard house has no other advantages. It would be fine if he had high prestige, but if he has no power, no one will pay attention to what he says!

I saw people in the crowd talking about it, but no one signed up. It’s not like the past few years, when the old men still had some prestige and could control people!

But the three uncles chosen before are not good people. Yi Zhonghai is not to be mentioned. He is now playing with sand in the northwest! Yan Bugui is even more notorious. Not to mention that he is stingy, the things that happened in his family in the past few months are despicable! Although Liu Haizhong has no bad reputation, he is annoying every day and beats children for no reason. How can such a irritable person be a good uncle?

Nowadays, people usually listen to Liu Haizhong perfunctorily as he has no power to command anyone, so being a boss is a thankless job!

Director Wang saw that no one was willing to sign up, but he couldn't let Liu Haizhong dominate the list, so he started nominating candidates. "I see that everyone is not very enthusiastic. The manager is only responsible for trivial matters. It's a lot of work and annoying. This job is not easy. How about this? I will recommend a candidate to everyone. How about He Daqing?"

Not only He Daqing was stunned, but the residents of the courtyard were also stunned. He Daqing had only been back for a few days, and he had such qualifications?

This is human nature. When it is given to you, you don’t want it and despise it! When it is given to others, you start to be jealous, why not give it to me?

But He Daqing is popular, especially with the middle-aged ladies, with whom he has a good relationship. When he is around, there is laughter and joy in the chat. This time he invited the gentlemen in the courtyard to have a drink, so naturally no one would object. At most, they would be jealous and complain in their hearts!

"Since everyone has no objections, let He Daqing be the manager of our courtyard! If there is any problem with the front and middle courtyards, please contact him. Liu Haizhong will be in charge of the backyard, and you guys can discuss the affairs of the entire courtyard!"

"Director Wang, who is the boss? Am I the boss?" Liu Haizhong asked anxiously. If he added another person, his power would be reduced. How could he accept this?

"What uncle first and uncle second? They are all equal. What's the point of rostering? They are all the same. Everyone is responsible for their own duties!" Director Wang scolded!

"Okay, let's end the meeting here today! Everyone go back and have a rest!" Director Wang didn't even give Liu Haizhong a chance to speak and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting!

Liu Haizhong's face turned red with anger when he saw He Daqing sending Director Wang out, but he quickly chased after him! The era of the Siheyuan belonging to Yi Zhonghai was over!

After sending Director Wang off, Liu Haizhong snorted at He Daqing and turned back to the backyard. Soon, the backyard was filled with the sound of ghosts howling! Liu Haizhong, who had nowhere to vent his anger, could only vent his dissatisfaction to his two sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Bang, bang, the sound of a train crashing is very uncomfortable for people who are upset, but for people with a calm mind, they can read calmly and their sleep is not affected at all!

After sleeping on the train for two days, Chen Zhiguo got off the train in high spirits! Li Guoqiang could only sigh, it’s great to be young!

After returning from a business trip, one naturally needs to take a day off. By the time Chen Zhiguo got home, it was already noon!

He sent Li Guoqiang back home and then drove to pick up his sisters along the way!

"Brother, did you bring me a gift?" Chen Xiaoli asked as she climbed into the car. "Of course I did. Not only yours, but also Xiaomei and Xiaoyue's!"

"Brother, there's also mine?" the youngest Chen Xiaoyue asked in surprise.

"Of course, you're my sisters too! You must have presents!"

"Thank you, brother!"

When they arrived at the door of her house, Chen Xiaoli jumped out of the car and ran home, "Mom! My brother is back! My brother is back!"

Hearing the noise, Wang Meihua hurried out of the kitchen and saw Chen Zhiguo carrying a lot of bags, "Mom, I'm back!"

"I'm glad you're back!" A mother worries when her son is away from home! Although Chen Zhiguo was often away from home before, he lived on campus in Yanjing City. This time he went on a long journey, although he was with his leader, he was still worried!

He put down the bag in his hand and took out a small bag, "Here are your gifts, divide it among the three of you!"

"Oh! It's time to distribute gifts!" Chen Xiaoli cheered, and pulled Xiaomei and Xiaoyue into her room carrying their bags!

In addition to pastries such as shachima, the bag also contains Lao Maosheng’s candies, roasted pine nuts, hazelnuts and other dried goods, and a rabbit fur hat for each person!

There are plenty of rabbit skins in Chen Zhiguo’s space, but the one made by others looks good. Chen Zhiguo liked it as soon as he saw it. It wasn’t expensive anyway, so he bought three directly!

"Mom, you take a rest! I'll cook!" Chen Zhiguo returned to the room, changed his clothes, and took the kitchen knife from Wang Meihua!

Wang Meihua did not return to her room. She watched Chen Zhiguo busy in the kitchen and listened to what he saw and heard!
