People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"As a child, it is your duty to support your parents. You can repay the money your parents have spent on you in installments, but you can't joke about your marriage."

After saying this, Lin Yi was about to leave. When he passed by Yan Jiecheng, he said one more sentence: "You will also be promoted to a regular employee next year, so don't let anything unexpected happen to you."

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

And Lin Yi's words were exactly what Yan Jiecheng was most worried about.

"Chief Lin, I don't want to do that either. I don't know what my father is thinking. He really doesn't want to give me a chance to live."

Yan Jiecheng also began to complain, saying that his life was like a rat in a bellows, being bullied from both sides.

"You need to talk to your father about this matter. If you can't convince him, go find the comrades from the Street Office and the Women's Federation. It's no use for you to find me. Do you want me to torture your father? Or do you want me to torture you or your wife?"

Lin Yi said this loudly, and Wang Guihua also heard it.

Lin Yi also admired Yan Fugui's hard work. In the plot, Yan Fugui was also constantly working hard.

If Lin Yi were asked to choose the two most troublesome people in the story of the courtyard, one would be Jia Zhangshi and the other would be Yan Fugui.

Jia Zhang was making trouble for the courtyard house, while Yan Fugui was making trouble for his three sons and one daughter. In the end, none of the Yan family's children were willing to live with the old couple.

However, Lin Yi still treated this matter as a joke. After all, as Lin Yi said, he really couldn't do anything about it.

He doesn't have the same temper as Yi Zhonghai, who has the temperament of a patriarch and wants to be in charge of everything.

Although Lin Yi was the de facto person in charge of the courtyard, if he spoke, Yan Fugui would have to keep it to himself no matter how unhappy he was. However, Lin Yi did not have the heart to do so.

Lin Yi returned to the courtyard.

He Yuzhu had returned a long time ago and was chatting with Yan Fugui in the front yard.

Since becoming the canteen's chef squad leader, He Yuzhu has been full of energy and energy. He even likes to hum a Peking Opera tune while walking.

Recently, Yan Fugui has been trying to curry favor with He Yuzhu, and he has been doing so quite well.

The cause was that He Yuzhu took a lunch box brought back from the cafeteria and gave it to Yan Fugui.

At that time, Yan Fugui's mouth was almost enough to make He Yuzhu look like a flower.

What He Yuzhu can't stand the most is being flattered by others.

Yan Fugui said a few nice words that touched He Yuzhu's heart.

He Yuzhu brought lunch boxes to the Yan family for several days in a row.

Yan Fugui, who had benefited from this, treated He Yuzhu like the God of Wealth.

These days, every morning, Yan Fugui would send He Yuzhu out of the courtyard with a smile, and in the evening, he would greet him with a smile again.

"Zhu Zi, you are the only one in our courtyard, so generous."

Yan Fugui gave He Yuzhu a thumbs-up more than once.

Sometimes, he would secretly look down on Ning Dazhui who had just moved in.

Ning Dazhui gave eggs to the person who cleaned his house that one time, but he never gave anything to him again.

Yan Fugui told everyone that Ning Dazhu was too stingy and mean.

His reason was very sufficient, that is, Ning Dazhui came to the steel rolling mill from Hulukou Brigade.

Hulukou Brigade donated fifty big fat pigs to the steel rolling mill.

A truly wealthy team.

People from such a large group actually gave just a few eggs to the neighbors in the courtyard. Isn't this like giving alms to beggars?

It’s no wonder that Yan Fugui’s words are quite popular in the courtyard.

It seems that excluding newcomers is a traditional art in the Siheyuan.

Fortunately, Ning Dazhu didn't care about this. He knew how he got his position as a chef.

Since the people in the Siheyuan were not willing to have a good relationship with him, Ning Dazhu had no intention of having a good relationship with the people in the Siheyuan.

Originally, Ning Dazhu's newly married wife was going to follow him into the city.

But Ning Dazhui did not agree. His wife had a rural household registration and could not get any rice and flour rations in the city. Besides, Ning Dazhui's parents were also old.

So, I stayed in Hulukou Brigade.

Moreover, Hulukou Brigade is not short of food now.

So, Ning Dazhu is now living alone in Xu Damao's big house.

This also made many people in the courtyard jealous.

The most important thing is that He Yuzhu also dislikes Ning Dazhu.

Although Ning Dazhui was not in charge of the kitchen, he had been doing the work of an ordinary chef under He Yuzhui during the first few days after joining the company.

The cooking skills of the big pot dish didn’t seem to be anything special, it was just average.

However, Yang Aiguo and his friends couldn't resist eating too many dishes cooked by He Yuzhu, and they always wanted to change the taste.

So sometimes Ning Dazhu is asked to cook for this small kitchen.

The leaders wanted to eat Ning Dazhu's food, and no matter how dissatisfied He Yuzhu was, he couldn't stop them.

But He Yuzhu was not happy about it.

Coincidentally, inside the courtyard, Yan Fugui noticed from observing He Yuzhu's expressions that he didn't like Ning Dazhu, so he said a few words and praised He Yuzhu.

Just when He Yuzhu was feeling happy about being flattered by Yan Fugui, he saw Lin Yi coming in. He immediately turned his head away and pretended not to see him.

He Yuzhu could pretend not to see Lin Yi, but Yan Fugui couldn't.

In Yan Fugui's eyes, Lin Yi is a more powerful person than the principal of their school, and he can really control the life and death of their Yan family.

In the past, Yan Fugui didn’t realize this and could still smile happily at Lin Yi.

But what is the current situation of Liu Haizhong's family, and what is the current situation of Jia Zhangshi? Yan Fugui doesn't want to go to prison or labor camp when he is old.

Lin Yi knew that the reason why He Yuzhu fell out with him was because he brought the chef Ning Dazhu into the steel rolling mill.

However, compared with the importance of Hulukou Brigade to Lin Yi, He Yuzhu's feelings are nothing to Lin Yi.

With He Yuzhu's bad temper, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to get into trouble in the future. When that happens, He Yuzhu will know whether he should save face in front of Lin Yi or not.

Without paying any attention to He Yuzhu, Lin Yi went straight back to the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, there was the sound of children's laughter.

Maybe it was because they didn't have a child, and because Yi Zhonghai was on a confidentiality mission, and Lin Yi had said he would take care of Liu Mei in her old age, so Liu Mei started taking care of the child instead...

At that time, nurseries and kindergartens were not yet popular, and the three or four-year-old children in the courtyards were the most worrying.

Originally, Liu Mei didn't have this idea. Qin Huairu went to work after little Huaihua was one month old, so naturally there was no one to take care of Huaihua.

Qin Huairu thought about everyone in the courtyard and found that only a woman named Liu Mei could help her.

So, Qin Huairu told Liu Mei about the matter with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Perhaps she couldn't bear to see the child suffer. Qin Huairu, a woman, couldn't go to work with a baby on her back, so Liu Mei agreed.

Since Liu Mei had agreed, she thought about taking care of both one and two children. She had already taken care of Qin Huairu's Xiaodang and Huaihua, and she also wanted to help take care of the children of other residents in the courtyard.

With this idea in mind, Liu Mei went to each household that had children and told them about her idea.

Yi Zhonghai went to participate in the confidentiality work, but his salary and benefits remained unchanged, and the steel rolling mill was also retained. Every month's salary was delivered to Liu Mei by Lin Yi.

Liu Mei asked Lin Yi to keep Yi Zhonghai's salary. After all, she had decided that Lin Yi was her future sponsor.

But Lin Yi looked down upon the money. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, he was not short of money.

Therefore, Liu Mei relied on her own abilities to run this small nursery in the courtyard.

She didn't ask the residents for any money, she just had one request, which was that when she was too late, these residents had to send someone to help.

These days are different from later times.

In later generations, people would rather give money than give people, but in this era, people would rather give people than give money.

At the beginning, this small nursery was located in Yi Zhonghai's house. Since it was in the central courtyard, it could be set up there.

After Lin Yi found out, he asked for the nursery to be moved to his yard.

Firstly, the location over there in the courtyard is large, and secondly, the old lady’s house is empty, so it is convenient to go in and out.

In addition, as long as the back door of the courtyard is locked, outsiders who want to come to the courtyard have to pass through the entire courtyard, so the child's safety is guaranteed.

Thus, Lin Yi's courtyard became a small nursery.

Li Xinnian has been absent-minded these days.

His father-in-law has made it clear that he wants to transfer him to the clean water department if Li Xinnian refuses to cooperate with the transfer.

From then on, he would never get support from his father-in-law again. Moreover, his father-in-law threatened him that if he did not cooperate, he would let his daughter divorce Li Xinnian.

Li Xinnian wanted nothing more than to divorce his wife.

When getting married, Li Xinnian was attracted by his father-in-law's power and status.

His wife is big and strong, and has a bad temper.

Domestic violence in other people's families is men beating women.

But in Li Xinnian's home, Li Xinnian is the victim of domestic violence.

Moreover, Li Xinnian did not dare to fight back because his official hat was in the hands of his father-in-law.

Without the support of his father-in-law, Li Xinnian didn't know if he could continue to work as the director of the logistics department of the steel mill.

But he was reluctant to be transferred away from the steel mill.

Li Xinnian had discussed the matter with his wife, but unfortunately, his wife didn't like to listen to him and was more obedient to her father-in-law's words.

This made Li Xinnian feel very depressed, but he had already gotten used to being depressed with his father-in-law.

This is the last working day of 1963, and the steel rolling mill is working for the last day today.

Tomorrow is the day to collect salaries.

Li Xinnian didn't have any work to do, so he came to the reporting mailbox at the entrance of the first floor.

The steel mill has set up several reporting mailboxes to help the workers seek justice.

As a routine, Li Xinnian opened the lock on the mailbox, took a look, and then closed it again.
