Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 12 The Night Visitor
In the evening, He Yuzhu's house.

When he heard He Yuanchao mentioned introducing someone to him, Shazhu interjected with a look of shock on his face: "Uncle, I haven't prepared anything. If Director Wang really introduces me to me, I will be embarrassed!"

He Yuanchao looked up at Silly Zhu and said with a smile: "Look at how cowardly you are and how embarrassed you are. I will give you 100 yuan and a ticket later. I will take the time to go to the mall to buy two clothes and a pair of leather shoes. Take care of yourself." Now, when Director Wang actually introduces you, you don’t have to worry about it, your uncle will take care of it for you and make sure you get your wife into the family."

"Uncle, how can I spend your money?" Shazhu said sheepishly.

He Yuan Chaoxian glanced at Silly Zhu and said teasingly: "Okay, this matter is settled. If you are embarrassed, just think that I lent you the money. Save more money and pay it back to me twice as much."

While the two men were chattering, the chicken and steamed buns with mixed noodles were served on the table.He Yuanchao opened a bottle of wine, poured two jars, and started drinking and eating with Silly Zhu.

It has to be said that Silhu's cooking is already very fragrant now. The aroma of stewed chicken spread through the doors and windows into the courtyard, causing several neighbors who were having dinner to complain and close the doors and windows.Occasionally, I could hear a few scoldings, beatings and scoldings of children.

When it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, the two of them had almost finished eating and drinking.He Yuanchao heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, and the sound was obviously running towards his home. When he looked up at the door in confusion, he saw three men with smiling faces already at the door.

After He Yuanchao saw the person clearly, he stood up with a smile: "Why are the three eldest brothers here so late? Come in quickly."

Silly Zhu turned his face at this time, saw the three of them, and echoed: "You three gentlemen, why don't you sit in the room and stand at the door?"

"I didn't bother you to eat."

One of the older men said with a smile.As he spoke, he entered the house with the other two men.

"No way, we've almost eaten." Silly Zhu responded while standing up to find something for the three of them to sit on.

He Yuanchao dispersed the cigarettes for the three of them. After Silhu was busy and the three of them sat down, he took a puff of his cigarette and said again: "You three, what's wrong with coming so late?"

"Nothing's wrong. Didn't you listen to Lao Yan that you changed jobs and came back? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Lao Liu, Lao Yan and I came over to see you and ask if there is anything we can help you with." The older man took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile. "What Lao Yi said is that you have been in the army for more than ten years. Now that you have returned from another job, how will the organization arrange it for you?" Another slightly fat man saw that Lao Yi had finished speaking and also answered.

Yan Bugui listened to the two of them and pushed up his glasses and said: "Da Liang, take your time with the work. You have to think it over carefully. This is a major event in life." After speaking, he paused and spoke in a calm tone. He changed his mind and said: "From now on, we will all live under the same roof. If you have anything to do, please tell us. Can't the neighbors help each other if they have something to do?"

He Yuanchao looked at the three people smoking and talking in front of him, and felt disgusted in his heart. He had clearly planned not to tangle with the people in the courtyard, but who would have thought that these three goods would be delivered to his door by themselves.

To say that He Yuanchao doesn't hate them very much, at most he doesn't want to see them. In the future, we will have less contact and live in peace with each other. Wouldn't it be nice?

He Yuanchao was thinking of saying a few perfunctory words to send the three guys away.

Before he could speak, Si Zhu next to him listened to the three people's words and said conspicuously: "My uncle's work has been arranged, and he will be the security section chief in our factory, an eighteenth-level cadre." After saying this, he was still proud. He bounced his feet as if he was the section chief.

The three people who were a little casual just now suddenly became quiet after listening to Shazhu's words, as if they were pressed to pause.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui looked at each other with shocked faces, hoping to see in each other's eyes that they had heard wrongly.

After not getting the answer they wanted, the three of them looked at He Yuanchao in unison.

He Yuanchao gave a helpless smile. He didn't want to tell the people in the courtyard about this.But since we have already talked about it, let’s talk about it. People in the courtyard will know it sooner or later anyway.It's better to let him speak and save the possibility of spreading another version later.

　Thank you to all the readers who have given me support. I won’t mention them one by one. Thank you all.Bow and thank you.
