"Hey, I think so too. There are only two chickens in total. They can lay eggs. We can't stew both of them." Yan Bugui's eyes turned and he figured it out. Then he pointed to He Yuzhu's room and said, "I came out when I heard the noise. Xu Damao suspected that Shazhu stole his chickens. Old Liu was just about to hold a meeting for the whole hospital."
Oh, Liu Haizhong has already taken action? It seems that this idiot really wants to cause trouble, but he doesn't think about it. Can his pig brain figure things out? Every day he only thinks about showing off his power. No one in the factory pays attention to him, so he treats the factory as a place to show off his power.
However, Li Qinghe couldn't let anyone know that he knew the whole story, so he pretended to be surprised, "Is this... that serious? You're going to hold a whole hospital meeting just because a chicken was lost?"
"Besides, He Yuzhu is a cook. Does he need to steal chicken if he wants to eat it? With a salary of 37.5 yuan a month, can he not afford to eat chicken? Is it necessary to do such a shameful thing?"
"Who knows? Xu Damao just threw a chicken and Sha Zhu stewed it. It's just a coincidence." Yan Bugui smiled and looked to the side. "Let's see what Sha Zhu has to say. Maybe he will really admit it."
Li Qinghe looked at Yan Bugui thoughtfully. It seemed that the old man had guessed something, otherwise he would not have said that Sha Zhu would admit to it.
After that, the two of them didn't say anything, but watched the farce of He Yuzhu and Xu Damao with interest.
Suddenly, Li Qinghe thought of something, patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well, Third Uncle, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter? Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening." Yan Bugui asked casually.
"It's like this. I just want to ask Third Aunt to help me clean up the house. You know I haven't cleaned my house for a long time." Li Qinghe said it directly without beating around the bush.
Yan Bugui stared at Li Qinghe and thought, "Good boy, don't you know my reputation? You dare to plot against me. I have always been the only one who plotted against others. This is the first time someone has plotted against me."
"Uncle, don't look at me like that." Li Qinghe knew what the old man was thinking from the look in his eyes. "Don't let Auntie work for nothing. I bought new clothes, so those old cotton-padded jackets are my reward. After washing them, they should be able to be worn. You know I'm a man, and I really can't do these things. I'll just trouble Auntie for a while."
"If I do something else, like washing clothes or something, it's not in vain. Revenge is another matter."
Yan Bugui's expression changed again in an instant, and he immediately put on a smile, "Hey, kid, why are you being so polite? We are all neighbors, how can I not help you with this little favor? It's settled, I'll discuss it with you when I get home, how do you think?"
What he said sounded good, but in fact, it was just the best benefit. If you don't take advantage of the bargain, is Yanbu expensive? You can eat and wear well, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor. This is not just talk.
Those old clothes are good things. Although they have been worn for several years, if you take apart the cotton and restuff it, and wash the outer fabric, they will be as good as new. Nowadays, as long as you can wear warm clothes, you are content. Who cares whether they are new or old?
If the size is too big, just roll up the sleeves and trouser legs, and when you grow taller, you can remove the stitches and let go, and you can wear it for a few more years.
Nowadays, it is common to see a piece of clothing being worn for ten years. After the eldest child wears it, it is passed on to the second child, and after the second child wears it, it is passed on to the third child. People are reluctant to throw it away until there are no more patches on it. They can even turn it into a pair of pants or use it as a rag.
In addition, families with a little more financial resources have clothes hidden at the bottom of the closet. They are the clothes that they are reluctant to wear on normal days and are only taken out on important occasions, such as during the Chinese New Year. They would take out a new cotton-padded jacket and wear it during the two days of the New Year. After the first day of the New Year, they would quickly take it off and put it away, and it would still be new when they wear it the next year.
The matter was settled, and the fight between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had already become intense, so everyone rushed forward to pull the two apart.
Li Qinghe grabbed Xu Damao and asked, "Brother Damao, what's going on?"
Xu Damao glanced at Li Qinghe and rolled his eyes. "Who are you? Why do you mind my business?"
"......"
At this moment, Li Qinghe really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Yan Bugui coughed and said, "Xu Damao, how can you talk like that? You don't even recognize Li Qinghe?"
"Li Qinghe?" Xu Damao was stunned, then turned his head to take another look, "No way?"
"Hey! It's really you, kid. I think you've changed so much that I can't recognize you unless I look closely. How did you do that?"
"Okay, Brother Damao, what's going on with you?" Li Qinghe tried his best to lead the matter to stealing the chicken. After the interruption just now, it was obvious that the emotions collected had decreased.
"What else could it be? It was Shazhu who stole my chicken. I was going to treat you to chicken and wine, but now that idiot has stolen it." As expected, Xu Damao, who came to his senses, was immediately furious, and his emotions increased. "Besides, who said that cooks don't steal? Now we've caught him red-handed!"
Li Qinghe thought about it and decided not to tell anyone that He Yuzhu had taken half a chicken from the factory, otherwise He Yuzhu would be criticized at a meeting of the entire factory tomorrow.
"Okay, judging from the attitude of Second Master, the meeting will be held today."
"Well, brother Qinghe, you can have dinner directly at my house and let your sister-in-law Xiao'e cook two dishes." Xu Damao invited. He still remembered that Li Qinghe shared some food with him a few days ago, and he was very moved.
"Forget it, Brother Damao, let's have a good drink next time. Now I can't eat enough."
"All right."
......
"No, why should I, an old woman, be asked to clean up someone's house? Doesn't Yu Li have nothing to do all day? Let her go, and she has to hand in the things she brings back. I'll go and talk to her."
After dinner, the third aunt became unwilling when she heard Yan Bugui say that he wanted to clean the house for Li Qinghe. She slammed the table and walked out. She must take advantage, but the work could be let her daughter-in-law do it.
Yan Bugui sat at the table, watching his wife go out, and calmly took a sip of tea. He had guessed this result a long time ago. When it comes to scheming, no one has ever been better than him.
"If we really let the old woman go, the eldest son will definitely take what he brings back. It's better to let the eldest son do the work and give himself a share of the things. This way he doesn't have to work hard and can get benefits. It's a good thing."
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but smile triumphantly. He took another sip of tea and felt that he had the demeanor to win a battle thousands of miles away.
At this time, everyone in the courtyard had gone home. After the trouble maker Liu Haizhong's running around, the matter of the whole courtyard meeting had been settled. Everyone went home to eat and then came back for the meeting after they were full. After all, no one wanted to watch others show off their power while hungry. Although Liu Haizhong was already a little impatient, he had no choice but to compromise under Yi Zhonghai's intervention, because his prestige was lower than others.
After sitting for a while, Yan Bugui felt that the time was about up, so he picked up the bench and walked towards the central courtyard.
