This is truly an eternal truth, and it still holds true even after more than fifty years.
Zhao Guihua could understand Zhou Li's madness, but she couldn't comprehend it. Others couldn't understand it either. If she could make a fuss about the things, then why didn't she go to the Forbidden City to make a fuss?
I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you! What are you thinking? It's just a dream.
But no one expected that Deputy Director Zhang would come. But it was obvious that Old Man Lan knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have such an attitude. Everyone once again gave this old man a higher level of "not easy to mess with" in their hearts.
Deputy Director Zhang stayed here with Old Man Lan, directing the work of several people, and everyone worked even harder. Some people like Aunt Su, who were good at handling things, took the initiative to move stools for them and poured water for them.
That's quite a good insight.
Fortunately, the room was not very big and there were many people, so we cleaned up very quickly.
Zhao Guihua came over and took a look, and concluded with certainty: "You painted the wall today, so you definitely can't finish it tonight, and you can't move today. The earliest you can do it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you want to stay at our house for a day or go back to your daughter's place?"
As a relative, Zhao Guihua was quite casual. She said, "If you go to live with your daughter, you can keep these things at my house. Don't leave them here for the time being. Otherwise, it will be hard to say if they are lost."
Lan Sihai glanced at Zhao Guihua and immediately understood what she meant. There was someone with dirty hands in this yard. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go first. I'll go live with my daughter."
Deputy Director Zhang was a little embarrassed. They assigned houses to people, and not only were there bad neighbors, but the houses were also quite shabby. He took the initiative to say, "The cost of repairing your house will be paid by the factory. This is because we didn't do our job well. We will definitely make it right for you this time."
Lan Sihai waved his hand and said, "No need. I don't care about these things. Just don't let those mad dogs come and affect my life. As for the rest, I have my own habits in life and don't need others to help me regulate them."
Deputy Director Zhang laughed and said, "Okay, we support you. We will definitely make arrangements for you regarding the neighbor."
That being said, they will actually still pay what they should, and it's not much, so why should people feel resentful?
In fact, at the beginning, they didn't intend to arrange for Master Lan to stay here. It was just a coincidence that Master Lan's granddaughter happened to live here, and they also wanted the younger generation to take care of the old man, so they arranged it here. But I really didn't expect that there would be such a shameless aunt.
Deputy Director Zhang hated Zhou Lishi very much, not only because Zhou Lishi affected his work, but also because Zhou Lishi called him a shorty, which really made him very angry. He thought that not calling a shorty short was a basic quality of a person, but he didn't expect that this person would take him so lightly.
Moreover, the implicit meaning of his words was a boast, as if Zhou Qun was better than him, which made Deputy Director Zhang even more dissatisfied.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I have so many apprentices here. You don't have to stay here with me. Just focus on your own things. As a leader, you have a lot of work to do." Old Man Lan said politely, "I can take care of myself here. If I don't understand this little thing, how can I be a master chef here to teach others?"
Deputy Director Zhang laughed and said, "You are a capable man."
Old Man Lan: "Average, average, third in the country."
Deputy Director Zhang: “Puff!”
It must be said that to the people in the compound, old man Lan does not seem to be an easy-going and easy-going person. But to Deputy Director Zhang and the leaders of the factory, old comrade Lan Sihai is very kind and particular.
He did not ask for any special treatment from the factory, and even when his accommodation was not so pleasant at first, he did not care too much.
Therefore, Deputy Director Zhang had a very good impression of this old master. He did not stay here for long, but when he left, he still gave some instructions to Aunt Wang. As a manager and her family members were people in their factory, Deputy Director Zhang hoped that she could take care of the old comrade a little.
As for the banker, needless to say, they are relatives, so he doesn't need to remind them.
Old Man Lan had lunch at the banker's house at noon. Also there were a few apprentices and...Aunt Wang.
Old Man Lan was quite positive about finding a partner. When everyone sat at the same table, he gave his own opinion: "I have a son and a daughter, but they don't need my care, and of course I don't need their care either. I don't want them to pay any pension money, so if I find a new person, she doesn't need to interact with my children. Just sit together for a meal during the New Year and other festivals and maintain superficial peace. I don't need her to act as a stepmother in front of my children, and I won't act as a stepfather in front of her children. My daughter won't take care of her in her old age, and her children don't need me in my old age. I have a salary here, part of which is retirement salary and part of which is re-employment salary. who pays attention to food. So when I find a partner, she must be a good cook. As for her appearance, it's okay as long as she is not ugly. I don't have any requirements on age, but there is only one thing, that she must be in good health."
What did Aunt Wang say after hearing this request?
Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not that demanding.
Except for the weird aspect of the children getting along with each other, everything else is fine.
Old Man Lan continued, "I am in good health, so I want to find someone in better health. Three of my partners have died. If I don't find someone in good health, I will have to send away the fourth one..."
"puff!"
Aunt Wang exploded.
Several disciples were also choked. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and kept their heads down in silence.
They are all in their thirties and forties, and have never seen anything like this. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Only Zhao Guihua was calm. What was there to be uneasy about? She had heard it all before.
But she forgot that the old man's first wife had been gone for more than ten years, but the old man hadn't stopped looking for another one! The old man had been looking for another one, but his luck was a little bad.
Two more died in succession, and the fourth one was separated from his parents.
Speaking of which, Zhao Guihua vaguely heard her mother-in-law say when she was drunk, well, in the previous life, that old man Lan was looking for another one because it was Mingmei's grandmother, Lan Ling's biological mother, who asked for it. This family is different from traditional families. When they are alive, they focus on enjoying themselves, and they don't save any money. When they are dying, they are also free and easy. The old lady said before she died that she would not lose out in her life, and the old man should continue to live, so he should not lose out on himself. You should find someone better-looking, not worse than me. She went down first, and she might find a handsome guy down there.
At that time, Zhao Guihua got along well with her mother-in-law Lan Ling, so there was no need for Lan Ling to lie.
But, this is... Anyway, Zhao Guihua has never seen anything like this.
It's very fashionable.
Old Man Lan: "You don't have to be like this. Birth, aging, illness and death are common, and no one can avoid death. I'm looking for a partner. If I die first, the house I've allocated will be given to her, and none of my children will be allowed to move in. This is all in writing. If she dies first, I'll hold a funeral for her. But there's one thing. I don't like trouble, so don't find me a family that's too complicated. I don't have any other requests."
Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Guihua and tried to wink at her. Zhao Guihua calmly picked up some food and said, "The uncle has a good salary, a house, and no children to support him. He can give five yuan a month to the woman as private money. He eats well and is a bit particular about food, clothing, and daily necessities. If she marries him, she will definitely live a good life. The uncle's requirements are that she must be a good cook, have a good body, and have a simple family. In addition, this relationship is between the older generation and has nothing to do with the children of both parties."
She raised her eyes and said, "Uncle, this condition isn't that hard to find, right?"
Aunt Wang was a little confused by Old Man Lan, but after listening to Zhao Guihua's retelling, she felt that it was not that difficult.
The main reason is that the old man's conditions are quite good. Although the old man did not mention his salary, it is known that it will not be very low. When Aunt Wang thought about it, she suddenly realized that the old man gave more than Bai Fendou, but his requirements were lower than Bai Fendou.
If we really find a partner for the old man, it might be easier than struggling for nothing.
Bai Fendou, that jerk, demands this and that, and the woman has to take care of the father and son's food, clothing and daily life after she gets married. But looking at Old Man Lan... Aunt Wang looked him up and down and instantly felt that in terms of appearance, Old Man Lan also had the advantage.
He is an old man who is neatly dressed, meticulously dressed and full of energy.
Bai Fendou is a sloppy guy who doesn't look like a decent guy. The uniforms of the security team are very handsome, but this guy made them look like a street urchin. Sometimes, people are most afraid of comparison. Aunt Wang didn't compare people far away, but the people in front of her. She immediately felt that it would not be difficult to introduce a partner to Old Man Lan.
But she also asked: "Uncle, you have married three people? Can you tell me about this?"
Old Man Lan: "No, I married four."
"puff!"
Everyone started to criticize again.
The men in the room all looked at Old Man Lan with envy, feeling that they were not as good as an old man. It was a little sad to think about it...
Old Man Lan was very calm. He said, "My wife passed away fourteen years ago. That year I remarried a woman four years younger than me. We were married for three years. When she was secretly meeting her lover, she was discovered by her lover's wife and was pushed down the stairs and died in a panic. Half a month after she died, I married another woman seven years younger than me. We were married for seven years. She became seriously ill and died after staying in the hospital for half a year. The next year I married another woman. This year I will be transferred to the capital, and she doesn't want to leave her children, so we divorced peacefully. If I get married again, I will be married for the fifth time."
Aunt Wang: “…”
In fact, having affairs with men and women is still criticized nowadays, but although this old comrade has been married many times, he has reasons for each marriage, and he can explain them clearly. And no one says that you can't find another wife if she dies...
Well, as a lesbian, Aunt Wang feels awkward everywhere.
But at most you can say that the old man found the one quickly, but you can't say that he has promiscuous relationships.
Aunt Wang: "Well... OK. I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Zhao Guihua smiled and said, "Old Wang, you don't have to be too stressed. If you meet someone suitable, introduce them to you. If not, don't introduce them to you for the time being. There's no need to rush. I also believe that Uncle Lan's requirements are based on his experience of being married so many times. He is definitely not willing to lower his bottom line. Just find someone for him."
Aunt Wang: “…Okay.”
It doesn't take much thought to know that the story of Old Man Lan's fourth marriage is bound to spread.
However, since Old Man Lan was willing to say it out loud, it was obvious that he didn't care that much.
Zhao Guihua: "Uncle Lan, from now on we are not only relatives, but also neighbors. I know you don't like others to interfere in your affairs, but we are neighbors. You are not young anymore, so don't be stubborn. Just call us. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you are embarrassed to call other people in our family, call your grandson-in-law and let my third son go over to help."
Old Man Lan: “Sure.”
When Old Man Lan is not being sarcastic, he speaks very straightforwardly.
"Also, you've just arrived and don't know the situation in our yard. There's more than one widow in our yard. The one who wanted to rob your house today is a widow. As for other widows, if you don't have any feelings for them, it's best to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, it will cause misunderstandings and cause trouble, which is not good, don't you think? Besides, just because you don't like someone doesn't mean that they don't like you. Anyway, we still have to keep the distance we should have." Zhao Guihua was talking about what she should and shouldn't say, but she was still rushing out.
She didn't want to live her past life, so she had to say what needed to be said as early as possible.
In her previous life, Aunt Su had fallen in love with Old Man Lan. She didn't fall in love with him from the beginning, after all, she had to consider her own image. But soon, she found that Old Man Lan was really good. At this time, it was hard not to be tempted.
Moreover, she is only in her fifties, while Old Man Lan is seventy-one. What Aunt Su is attracted to is not only Old Man Lan's money, but also his house. Her house is already considered big in the yard, but when people are not satisfied, she wants more.
Who made her family have three boys? Although Old Man Lan's house was only about 30 square meters, it was better kept than other people's houses. Besides, he earned a lot. Aunt Su quickly took action. She was not the kind of person who was straightforward. She was always able to pretend. After repeatedly approaching and testing, Old Man Lan remained indifferent. But Bai Fendou's father, Old Man Bai, was annoyed.
He firmly believed that it was Old Man Lan who seduced him, and not only did he pick a fight, he even resorted to violence.
Although he didn't have the upper hand because of the Zhuang family, he still caused a lot of gossip. In addition, Old Man Lan had been married many times, so public opinion was not good for him. The factory reprimanded him many times, but it didn't work.
After all, you can't control what other people say.
Fortunately, Old Man Lan didn't care, otherwise he would have been really angry and serious.
So this time, Zhao Guihua brought up this topic at the beginning: "Let's wait and see. You are a smart person and you can see through it."
After Zhao Guihua finished speaking, she saw Old Man Lan seemed to be thinking about something.
In the previous life, Old Man Lan did not clearly stop Aunt Su from approaching, which led to those problems, so Zhao Guihua hoped that these things would not happen again this time.
But in this life, Zhao Guihua must make things clear at the first possible moment. She believes that this old fox can understand.
Old Man Lan: "I understand."
He smiled, which was rare, and said, "You are a nice person."
Oh my, it's rare that you don't use a sarcastic tone when praising someone.
Zhao Guihua: "I am a very good person. You will understand when you get along with me, uncle-in-law. I will not offend others unless they offend me."
This lunch was quite good. Zhao Guihua prepared fish and meat. The old men had big appetites and ate everything. But Old Man Lan didn't let Zhao Guihua spend money. They came here to eat, not to take advantage of others.
The food for five old men is enough for others to eat for several days.
However, the food coupons and meat coupons were not taken by Old Man Lan. Although Deputy Director Zhang left, he did leave some lunch money before leaving. After all, they still had to take care of the old comrades from other places.
One of Old Man Lan's apprentices was quite honest and said directly: "Sister Zhao's cooking is really good. My wife can't cook as good as this."
"Then don't you see what they are doing?"
This dish contains meat. How can it be the same with or without meat?
"That's right."
Old Man Lan finished packing in the afternoon and went back to his daughter's place. The house needed to be aired for a day before he could move in. He left some of his luggage at Mingmei's house and left with a few of his apprentices.
When Mingmei got home from get off work, her grandfather was gone.
Mingmei: “???”
She looked everywhere, saying, "Where's my grandpa? I left work early, how come he's gone?"
Mingmei didn't have much contact with her grandpa since she was a child. After all, they lived in two cities and she didn't see him for many years. But Mingmei was very outgoing and he was her own grandpa, so she was naturally warm to him.
Zhao Guihua: "Your grandpa is staying at your parents' place tonight. The walls are being painted here, so we can't stay here today."
Mingmei said with emotion, "My grandpa is quite particular about these things."
He may not live in a big house, but he must live comfortably; he may not eat delicacies from land and sea, but he must eat better.
Mingmei was grumbling to her mother-in-law, and her boss Zhuang Zhixi was still at work. He was always the first one to leave after work, and would never work for an extra minute. But today, he was an exception.
This news spreads fast.
Well, before anything happened, the news had already spread. Everyone knew that the master craftsman who came from Jinling to work in their factory was the grandfather of Zhuang Zhixi's wife. And on the first day this old man came, he transferred Zhou Qun's mother from the electrician team to the security department.
Zhou Qun didn't understand what was going on, and his face suddenly turned red. He had no idea what was going on, and asked unhappily, "Team Leader, what do you mean by this? Why are you scolding me for no reason? I work diligently, and you are bullying me like this."
Although Zhou Qun is a bit of a hypocrite and his character is not very good, he is still very serious about his work. That is why he was able to reach level 7 in his early 30s. You know, this is the highest level he can take at his age and length of service.
Because of this, it can be said that there is a bright future ahead.
Normally, he was always praised by people in the electrician team, but no one expected that the team leader would suddenly go crazy this time. No one knew what had happened to him.
Zhou Qun was unhappy, and the team leader was unhappy too. He was called over by the office director and criticized. The office director was also angry because he was called over by the deputy director and criticized. So Zhou Li was so arrogant, and all of them suffered. Who could be happy?
The team leader angrily said, "How dare you ask me this? Do you know that you are the one who implicated me? Your mother is like that, why can't you, as a son, just talk to her properly?"
When he mentioned his mother, Zhou Qun's heart skipped a beat.
Although he knew that his mother was arrogant and domineering on a daily basis, and he often used her as a knife to deal with this and that, he never expected that his mother could be so domineering that she would even involve the entire factory.
"My mother? Is this a misunderstanding? My mother is a housewife, she doesn't know so many things, she..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted: "Your mother doesn't understand? I think your mother understands a lot. She even knows how to rob a house. She really knows what a good thing is! Shameless! Do you know that our factory invited a master from Jinling to provide guidance? The master came from a long way away, without asking for treatment or housing. The factory arranged a place for him to live in your courtyard to take care of the elderly. Your mother actually wants to rob his house, and said that if she is not given to her, she will hang herself at the door! What! Are your family bandits? As far as I know, that piece of courtyard house belongs to the factory, right? Who the factory allocates to must have your mother's approval? How can your family be so shameless! Zhou Qun, Zhou Qun, your mother is very arrogant. Not only does she scold this and scare that, she also points at the nose of Deputy Factory Director Zhang and scolds him, and even says that she wants you to deal with him."
When he said this, he himself thought it was so damn funny.
Although Zhou Qun was technically good, he was just an ordinary worker. Zhou Qun's mother really felt good about herself. She even thought that Zhou Qun could teach the deputy director a lesson at any time. What kind of spirit was this? When Zhou Qun heard this, his head buzzed and his whole body shook.
He said: "My mother, my mother..."
"What do you mean by your mother? Your mother was arrested by the factory security department. She was robbing public property." When the team leader said this, he also sympathized with Zhou Qun. He said, "I heard that your mother scolded the security department, saying that they were watchdogs."
There was one thing the team leader didn't say, but whether it was the team leader, Zhou Qun, or the large group of people eavesdropping in the corridor at the door, everyone understood that Zhou Qun couldn't make any mistakes from now on. If he did, the security department would be blamed.
Although this incident was caused by Zhou Qun's mother, Zhou Qun is his son after all.
Sometimes, if it wasn't you who did it, everyone would just let it go. But it was your mother who caused the trouble, so Zhou Qun had to swallow the bitter fruit even if he cried.
Zhou Qun held onto the table, pressed his temples hard, and said, "My mother... cursed at someone?"
"Your mother scolded everyone from the factory director to the security department. Why is she so arrogant?"
Zhou Qun took a deep breath and exhaled: "Are there any people in the security department still there?"
"I'm here." The team leader stopped cursing at this time. He patted the poor fellow on the shoulder and said, "Go over and take a look. The security department will definitely not let this go so easily."
Zhou Qun's mind was buzzing, but he couldn't ignore his mother. If he didn't care about her, it would only attract more contempt, so he had to care. At this time, Jiang Lu also hurried over and shouted: "Zhou Qun, is mom in trouble???"
As a daughter-in-law, she was not implicated, but the rumor naturally reached her ears.
Jiang Lu's first reaction was not worry, but secret joy. This evil mother-in-law should have been taught a lesson long ago. Now she really deserves it. It's really gratifying. She was mean to herself all day long, and now God has seen through her. She deserves it.
Jiang Lu was extremely happy in her heart, but she had to pretend to care and said some ambiguous words.
But soon, she became really worried again. She didn't care about her mother-in-law, she cared whether Zhou Qun would be sad. If Zhou Qun was sad, she might as well die. That's why she ran over quickly, just to comfort her man.
Zhou Qun: "Let's go to the security department."
The current security department is different from the factory security department ten years later. If it is ten years later or decades later, it will be just an ordinary security guard. But at this stage, the security department of each factory has functions similar to those of a police station.
Many related matters involving the factory are also handled by the factory security department. Just like this time, although Zhou Lishi is not from the factory, their compound is the family compound of the machinery factory. And the original ownership of the house allocated to Lan Sihai was also the factory. At the same time, Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu are employees of the factory, so it is natural that the factory security department will handle it.
Otherwise, many years later, when people recall the days of the big state-owned enterprises, they lament that the factory was everything to people at that time. For all their daily needs, the factory had a corresponding place. That is why, when the wave of layoffs came, some people who had worked in the factory for decades could not stand it all of a sudden.
But that was all more than ten or twenty years later, and now they are still a very prosperous large state-owned enterprise.
Zhou Qun was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs were trembling, but he couldn't care about his mother who would not blink an eye when causing trouble. Zhou Qun was not very popular in the factory. He was considered to have made rapid technical progress, started working early, had a long service life, so he was promoted quickly and earned more.
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call him a young talent. It is precisely because of this that he looks down on others. Although people of this era are simple, they are not stupid. If he does not take others seriously, others will naturally not take him seriously.
As a result of this, he was no longer considered to be very versatile in the factory.
Jiang Lu grabbed Zhou Qun and said, "We can't come empty-handed, otherwise people won't give us face."
Zhou Qun's face changed, but he finally took a deep breath and said, "I have a Huazi in my drawer."
He went and came back, and quickly walked towards the security department again.
Zhou Qun led his wife to the security department. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother's howling. This time, Zhou Li's howling was not arrogant, but fearful. She never thought that the security department would arrest her.
Although the old lady didn't do anything good in her life, she had never been in the security department.
She also worked in the factory for a while. At that time, her husband passed away due to an accident, so she took over. However, after only a few years, her son, who was only fourteen years old, took over, and she became a housewife again.
So Zhou Li was familiar with the factory, but also unfamiliar with it.
It felt familiar because she had actually worked here as a worker, but it felt strange because she had been away for fifteen or sixteen years.
There have been changes in the past two years, not to mention fifteen or sixteen years. But no matter how much she has changed, she knows that she has caused trouble. The security department! They can arrest people. Don't look at her scolding the guard dog happily, because she thinks that they dare not do anything to her.
But now I was so scared that I peed my pants.
She was locked in a separate room, howling, but no one paid attention to her no matter how she cried. Because she had scratched someone before, one of her hands was scratched on the heating pipe.
The security department has their own little tricks when doing things. For someone like her, although she was trying to rob a house, it would still be a big deal if she succeeded. Now that she failed, she will definitely be criticized and educated in the end.
But she was cursing and trying to get physical, and the security department was not a pushover, so they were clearly trying to teach her a lesson, saying that this was done on a heating pipe, so it was a little bit high, so that she could just stand on the ground, but she couldn't stand steadily. This was very painful.
Especially at her age, she would lose a layer of skin if she resisted for a night. People don't have to do anything to her, but just harassing her in such a small matter is enough to make her suffer.
Now the Security Department is treating her like this. Besides screaming in fear, Zhou Li is also really very uncomfortable.
She only saw the temptation of the house, but didn't think about why she deserved it.
When Zhou Qun came over and heard his mother's scream, annoyance flashed across his eyes. But even so, he had to accompany Xiaoxin to apologize to the security department first. The security department was not polite and said, "Electrician Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. Your mother has already said that you will teach us a lesson and expel us all. This scared us, and we really dare not speak loudly to you casually."
Zhou Qun: "Chief Li, please don't listen to my mother's nonsense. My mother is an uneducated old woman who doesn't understand any reason. I am extremely sorry for causing you trouble this time..."
He looked at Jiang Lu, who immediately took out a cigarette and said, "Just a little token of my appreciation."
Section Chief Li took a look and thought that Zhou Qun was really willing to invest, as this was Huazi.
Only their factory director could afford it, and they could forget about it. It would be good enough to get a Daqianmen ticket. It must be said that although Zhou Qun was not very good at getting along with others, he was also a man who knew the current situation. When he struck hard, Section Chief Li's face immediately improved a lot.
After all, it wasn't him who went straight there and was called a watchdog.
"Since you are so kind, I won't be polite. But we need to make some things clear. Otherwise, I won't dare to ask for your things."
"You tell me, tell me the way. I don't want things to get too ugly. My mom is really old and confused." Zhou Qun could only say this to settle the matter. Of course, he was thinking, "I won't let you give me advice in vain."
"Your mother even scolded the deputy director, and we didn't say anything. He won't be happy about it. You have to be locked up for one night today, that's the minimum. It's useless for anyone to intercede. In addition, you have to apologize to old comrade Lan Sihai. Only when he accepts the apology can we have an explanation to release her. Otherwise, how can we do this casually? Also, doesn't your father-in-law know the deputy director? Go and ask him for mercy. Otherwise, the deputy director will have a problem with you in the future, and it will be difficult for you to move up. And the future will be difficult. Can you keep your mother under control in the future? If you don't keep her under control, she may cause you a lot of trouble. Let her stay here for one night today, so that she can learn a lesson. It's not a bad thing for an old man to learn a lesson. It will save him from being confused in the future."
Zhou Qun: "Thank you. Thank you very much for the advice, Chief Li."
The power of this Huazi is very great.
He sighed: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my mother, and this kind of thing will never happen again."
Section Chief Li nodded and said, "Then I'll give you another piece of news. Comrade Lan Sihai is the grandfather of Zhuang Zhixi's wife from the medical office. After all, he is a relative. If you go over and try to make friends with him, he might let you go. Aren't you from the same hospital? It shouldn't be hard to talk to him, right?"
Zhou Qun nodded immediately: "His relatives?"
With that said, it was clear why this old man was specially invited as a master and was assigned to the small room in their yard. It turned out that he was related to the banker. He immediately said, "I know about this matter. Thank you, brother. Buy me another glass of wine."
He stuffed two Great Unity banknotes over, his heart bleeding, but he had no choice but to spend the money.
Zhou Qun and Jiang Lu walked out of the house together. He didn't even look at his mother. He didn't want to look at this old good-for-nothing who was always causing trouble. Zhou Qun grabbed Jiang Lu's hand, walked to the corner and said, "Xiao Lu, you have to help me this time."
Jiang Lu said eagerly: "Go ahead."
Zhou Qun: "You should ask for leave immediately and go to your father. Ask him to invite Deputy Director Zhang to dinner tonight. We will accompany him. You must apologize sincerely. Otherwise, how can I have a future? If I have no future, how can you have a good life? For our future, can you go to your father and make some efforts, okay?"
Jiang Lu immediately said: "Do I need you to say this? This is what I should do. If you beg me, then you are being disloyal to me. We are a family, and I will do anything for you. Then mom..."
Zhou Qun: "Let her learn a lesson here, so she won't be so arrogant all day long. She even thought that the factory leaders were from the hospital and let her do whatever she wanted. I think this matter is all Bai Fendou's fault. If my mother hadn't successfully blackmailed Bai Fendou several times before, she wouldn't be so arrogant now. It's all Bai Fendou's fault."
Jiang Lu nodded in agreement and said angrily, "This Bai Fendou has bad intentions. He deserves that he can't find a wife."
Zhou Qun: "You go ahead. I'll go back first and think about what to say before I go find Zhuang Zhixi."
He had to find someone, but he had to think about it. He was the most promising young man in the hospital. He couldn't lose face. It would be best to think of a way to get Zhuang Zhixi to ask for help.
Isn't this what he should do? After all, this matter is also related to his family, and it was also caused by his family.
Zhou Qun thought so and raised his chin, feeling that the people in their yard were all jealous of him, plotting against him, and had bad intentions.
"Okay, go ahead."
"good!"
The couple parted ways. Zhou Qun looked at Jiang Lu's back and thought of the Huazi that he had given away. He felt so sad. That was something that only his father-in-law, the head of the supply and marketing cooperative, could get.
If Jiang Lu hadn't gone home and begged for it, it wouldn't have fallen into his hands, and in the end he just gave it away for nothing.
This money must be paid!!!
This old man is useless.
Zhou Qun gnashed his teeth in hatred. He hated that Bai Fendou was always blackmailed, which encouraged his mother's arrogance and made his mother so arrogant. He also hated Zhuang Zhixi's family for being ruthless and moving the factory director when they disagreed. Did they think that his family had a powerful relative? Bastard! He also hated Section Chief Li for being greedy. A small security section chief dared to ask for Huazi. Didn't he think that He, who came from a peasant background, was worthy of smoking such a good thing?
His expression was uncertain, and after a long while he calmed down, he put on a calm face and returned to the office.
But how could Zhuang Zhixi take the initiative to speak? He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Zhuang Zhixi was not like the others in the courtyard. This kid would not act until he saw the rabbit. He also knew that Zhuang Zhixi was not easy to deal with.
After a while, it was almost time to get off work, so he hurried to the infirmary.
Just as Zhuang Zhixi was about to get off work, he was blocked by Zhou Qun.
Zhuang Zhixi was well-informed in the factory. Besides, the news was spreading like wildfire and everyone in the factory knew about it. It would be strange if Zhuang Zhixi didn't know about it. He looked at Zhou Qun with a half-smile and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you here? I don't see you in the factory usually."
Normally, if the infirmary has a circuit problem and wants to find Zhou Qun, they have to report to each level, and it has never been timely. In fact, if the relationship is good, it doesn't have to be so complicated. For example, the workshop is more important, so it has never been sent through the formal procedures. Every time there is a problem, it will come immediately. But their infirmary is not important, so there is no such treatment. Generally, those who come here are not level 7 electricians like Zhou Qun, but apprentices. So everyone is not enthusiastic about Zhou Qun.
Even though Zhou Qun and Zhuang Zhixi were from the same courtyard, they didn't have that kind of face.
Zhou Qun remained calm and said, "You're off work now? Didn't the bell just ring?"
He wanted to catch Zhuang Zhixi for not taking his work seriously.
Make him afraid of himself.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "You are the one who said this. If you ring the bell, you are off work. If you stay in the company without leaving get off work, are you trying to waste the company's resources? If you are not allowed to leave work when you ring the bell, then why do you ring the bell? Just work 24 hours a day. Since you have to leave work, it means that the working people need to rest. Only when they rest can they better serve the people."
Zhuang Zhixi always smiled no matter what he said. He said, "Brother Zhou, why don't you leave?"
Zhou Qun didn't hold back, pursed his lips and said, "I have something to talk to you about."
He said, "Can we talk alone?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's talk while we walk. If I don't go home quickly after get off work, my wife will suspect that I'm fooling around outside. I'm not that kind of person. By the way, Brother Zhou, you usually come home so late. What are you busy with at work? There's no electrician work after get off work?"
He asked lightly. This made Zhou Qun's heart tremble, but as an old cheater, he soon calmed down and said, "I always have to check and fill in the gaps here, which is different from your infirmary."
Zhuang Zhixi let out a long sigh and said, "I see. I thought Brother Zhou also had a rich life after getting off work."
Isn't it just a way of manipulating people with hidden meanings?
Who wouldn't know that? (End of this chapter)
