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

Moreover, when Banggeng played with them in the past, he would tell Jia Zhang whenever he felt wronged, and then Jia Zhang would go to the other parents to argue.

This also made the children in the yard dislike playing with the Jia family's children.

"Xiaodang, let's not play with them. Let's play house, okay?"

Banggeng turned his head awkwardly and began to comfort Xiaodang.

"Wow."

When Xiaodang heard that he couldn’t play with firecrackers, he started crying.

At this time, Banggeng acted like a little adult and started to coax his sister.

Unfortunately, the little girl is not that easy to coax.

Just when Bang Geng was at a loss, he saw Lin Yi pushing a bicycle passing by the gate of the Jia family in the middle courtyard.

"Sister, wait a minute. I'll go get you some firecrackers."

After saying that, Bang Geng ran out.

Lin Yi just passed the door between the middle courtyard and the back yard when he was stopped by Bang Geng, who was a little out of breath.

"Uncle Lin Yi, can you lend me three cents?"

Banggeng raised his head and asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at Banggeng’s little face curiously.

Since crossing over, Lin Yi has never treated Bang Geng well. The main reason is that this kid is an irredeemable ungrateful person in the plot.

Moreover, Banggeng is just a child, and there are really not many tricks that can be used for a child like him.

"You know that you have to pay back what you borrow, right? If you know that, how are you going to pay it back?"

Lin Yi did not ask Banggeng what he needed the money for, but instead focused on asking Banggeng how to pay back the money.

Banggeng clenched his fists, raised his head, and said, "Uncle Lin Yi, I can help you feed the roe deer for a month, but I don't want any candy."

Lin Yi was very surprised to hear Banggeng's answer. This was completely different from his impression of Banggeng.

Lin Yi looked at Bang Geng seriously and asked, "Thirty cents is not a lot. Can you tell me what you want to do with it?"

Lin Yi had some guesses in his mind.

Banggeng's answer was exactly what Lin Yi had guessed: "Mom doesn't have money to buy us small firecrackers, and my little sister Xiaodang wants to play with small firecrackers. I want to buy a string of small firecrackers so that my little sister can play with small firecrackers too."

When Banggeng said this, he looked at the children who were still playing with firecrackers in the distance.

Lin Yi took out a dollar from his pocket, handed it to Bang Geng, and said, "Tell your mom to come to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner."

After saying that, Lin Yi continued pushing the cart away.

Bang Geng was behind Lin Yi, holding the one dollar Lin Yi gave him, and suddenly said loudly: "Uncle Lin Yi, don't worry, I will pay you back."

Lin Yi naturally heard what Banggeng said, and he didn't pause.

Inviting Qin Huairu's family to have New Year's Eve dinner was just a spur of the moment decision.

In fact, Lin Yi has no resistance to children.

Just like Xiaodang, because she was still young, Lin Yi looked at her with admiration from the beginning.

Now, the changes in Banggeng have also allowed Lin Yi to see a different future for Banggeng.

Even though we know that the interesting part of the story is about his bad temper, few people can remain indifferent when seeing a child change for the better.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy some firecrackers."

Banggeng, who now has money, took Xiaodang's hand and said confidently.

Not far from the courtyard, there is a daily necessities store set up by a supply and marketing cooperative.

Banggeng spent thirty cents to buy a string of small firecrackers.

Then I saw my sister staring at the candies on the counter in a daze.

Banggeng counted out another two cents, handed it to the middle-aged woman selling goods, and said, "Auntie, four candies, please."

There were four candies, and he peeled one for Xiaodang and put it into his mouth.

Xiaodang giggled.

Bang Geng was about to tear open the wrapper of another candy, but then he stopped and put away the remaining three candies.

Qin Huairu came back carrying Xiao Huaihua on her back and two bags in her hands.

She went to buy rice, flour and some vegetables for the New Year.

I specially bought two kilograms of flour, preparing to have a good meal on New Year's Eve.

She also has the factory’s benefits, three pounds of pork.

Qin Huairu was reluctant to finish eating it all during the Chinese New Year.

I cut off half a pound and kept it, and marinated the rest with salt.

It can be made into bacon and used to feed children a snack when there are few vegetables in the spring.

When she returned home, she saw Banggeng and Huaihua setting off firecrackers.

Seeing her son and daughter having fun, Qin Huairu also smiled.

However, when Qin Huairu saw that the sticks were setting off small firecrackers one after another, her expression changed.

"Awesome."

Qin Huairu shouted.

Hearing his mother's call, the happy Xiaodang ran back and hugged Qin Huairu's legs.

She wanted Qin Huairu to hug her.

Banggeng looked at the small firecrackers whose fusers were wet by the snow with a little reluctance, and then he walked over.

"Go home first."

Qin Huairu had a gloomy face. He carried two bags with one hand with difficulty, and held Xiaodang's hand with the other.

Banggeng didn't notice Qin Huairu's unhappiness and ran away first.

After returning to the house, Qin Huairu closed the door and said in a strong voice: "Bang Geng, come here."

Banggeng came to Qin Huairu for some unknown reason.

Qin Huairu grabbed Banggeng's ear and asked, "Banggeng, where did you get the money to buy the firecrackers?"

Qin Huairu knew how much money the family had, and she had never given Banggeng any pocket money.

Qin Huairu suspected that Banggeng had found the private money that Jia Zhang had hidden.

"Oh my god, it hurts."

Bang Geng's tears came out.

"It was given to me by Uncle Lin Yi. I promised to cut grass for Uncle Lin Yi's roe deer, and Uncle Lin Yi gave me one dollar."

Banggeng felt very aggrieved. He thought he had done nothing wrong in this matter.

He is the older brother, and his younger sister wants to play with firecrackers. He earns money to buy firecrackers for her. There is nothing wrong with that.

Qin Huairu's sudden questioning by twisting his ear made Banggeng feel very wronged.

After hearing Banggeng's answer, Qin Huairu dropped his hand that was twisting his ear as if he had been hit hard.

She didn't expect this would be the answer.

Banggeng is more sensible than before.

As a good mother, Qin Huairu could naturally feel it.

However, Qin Huairu never expected that Banggeng would be so sensible now.

For a moment, Qin Huairu didn't know what to do and was at a loss.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu hugged Bang Geng, who was sobbing in grievance, and burst into tears loudly.

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt that all the hardships and grievances she had suffered were worth it.

With such a sensible child, Qin Huairu believes that all her efforts are worth it.

"Great! It's mom's fault."

"Bang Geng, mom has wronged you."

Qin Huairu's crying and apology made Banggeng stop sobbing.

With some trembling, Banggeng took out the remaining three candies from his pocket, peeled one, and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's mouth.

"Mom, it's candy. It's very sweet."

Qin Huairu tasted the sweetness that was rarely tasted in daily life, and the faint aroma of milk filled the taste buds in her mouth.

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt sweet in her heart.

Looking at Xiaodang who was looking at him eagerly, Banggeng reluctantly peeled another candy and stuffed it into Xiaodang's mouth.

There were four candies, and only one was left, so Bang Geng stuffed it into his mouth.

Banggeng also thinks this toffee is particularly sweet.

Banggeng took out the remaining fifty cents and gave it to Qin Huairu.

"Mom, there's still fifty cents left."

Qin Huairu solemnly took the fifty cents, then found a piece of cloth and wrapped it up.

"Bang Geng, I'll keep this money for you. Tell me when you need to spend it in the future."

This was the first time Banggeng earned money, and Qin Huairu wanted to keep it.

"Mom, Uncle Lin Yi said that we will have the New Year's Eve dinner at his house this year."

Thinking of going to Lin Yi's house for dinner, Banggeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Although he had never eaten at Lin Yi's house, Xiao Dang often went there and would always tell his brother what delicious food he had eaten.

Although Banggeng pretended not to be envious, he was actually extremely envious in his heart.

"Well, Mom knows. When the time comes, you have to keep an eye on your sister and don't get into trouble, okay?"

After calming down, Qin Huairu gave Bang Geng some advice.

A few days ago, a middle-aged woman named Liu Mei came to talk to Qin Huairu about what happened during the New Year, but there was no news from her after that.

Moreover, Qin Huairu also learned from Yu Li that He Yuzhu and his wife were going to Yu Li's parents' home to celebrate the New Year.

Qin Huairu thought that the New Year's plan was over.

I didn't expect that I would be able to get confirmed news from Banggeng.

What Lin Yi said was much more reliable than what an old lady said.

In the courtyard, Lin Yi told Liu Mei about asking Qin Huairu to come and celebrate the New Year together, and also explained the reason.

"Banggeng seems to have become much more sensible recently. Auntie, if you find something to do in the yard, ask the child to do it. When the time comes, give him 1.5 cents to make him happy."

Liu Mei also felt that Banggeng had indeed become much more sensible in recent times, but he had some different opinions on Lin Yi's suggestions.

"Why bother? The New Year's gift money is only a few yuan, which is enough for the children to buy snacks during the New Year."

After all, it was an old concept, and Liu Mei didn't understand what Lin Yi meant.

Lin Yi gave Liu Mei a brief explanation.

Giving gifts without any reason will only produce ungrateful people.

Children must be made to understand that there is no gain without hard work.

"Listen to Lin Yiwa'er."

The old lady understood things better than Liu Mei and immediately understood what Lin Yi meant.

Since the old lady had spoken, Liu Mei agreed directly.

"Lin Yi, what's in your package?"

Seeing Lin Yi coming in with the package, Liu Mei asked.

Lin Yi put the package on the table and then opened it.

Said: "A flight jacket, a gift from a friend."

Lin Yi likes this flight jacket very much. Unlike the general's, this flight jacket is very suitable for daily wear.

Lin Yi picked up the leather flight jacket, tried it on himself, and found that it was a little small.

However, he was wearing a cotton coat at the moment. If he took it off, it would fit perfectly.

"Who is so generous as to give you such a nice leather coat?"

Liu Mei didn't recognize the flight jacket, but she could tell that it was not simple. The stitching on the leather jacket was very dense, and the style was very good.

The old lady was sharp-eyed and pulled out a long hair with her hand.

"Grandson, was this given by a girl?"

The old lady raised the long hair in her hand high, as if she was confronting with evidence.

Lin Yi had some guesses about who was behind Sun Yue's car, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "I guess so."

"What do you mean by count?"

The old lady muttered.

.

"You don't take me, an old woman, seriously. You even didn't tell me that you were dating someone."

The old lady was not satisfied with Lin Yi's reaction and pretended to be very lonely and disappointed.

Lin Yi had no choice but to coax her: "Grandma, I haven't seen anything yet. When I'm sure that girl and I are together, I'll bring her to you as soon as possible."

"How can I not be sure? If the girl is not interested in you, how can she give you such nice clothes?"

The old lady was convinced that Lin Yi was fooling her, and it seemed that he couldn't be coaxed anytime soon.

"Grandma, I really don't know what to say. That girl's family is a bit complicated. I'm afraid her family will look down on me."

Lin Yi expressed his concerns.

He didn't have anything to dislike about Youxi. After spending some time with her in Hulukou Brigade, he had a good impression of her.

Although Youxi doesn't talk much, he is a smart person and can understand many things without much explanation.

Moreover, he is an enthusiastic person, the type who appears cold on the outside but is actually warm-hearted.

Besides, You Xi is also very beautiful, at least prettier than Qin Huairu when she was young, and prettier than Lou Xiao'e.

If Lin Yi were to rate it using the standards of later generations, he would give it an eight.

Originally it could have scored above 9 points, but the points were deducted because of Youxi's outfit.

If you wear professional attire, it will be extremely eye-catching.

"What's there to be dissatisfied about? My grandson can marry even the general's daughter."

The old lady was not satisfied with Lin Yi's words. She tapped her cane and said firmly:

Just like that, 1963 passed.

This year, the residents of the courtyard house had a slightly lonely but mild life.

It’s less noisy, but more prosperous.

Because almost every household has some connection with the steel mill, every household can eat meat on New Year's Day.

The most lively and sumptuous place is naturally Lin Yi's place.

On New Year's Eve, Ning Dazhu specially sent a roasted goat.

The steel rolling mill started operating on the third day after the Chinese New Year.

The steel mills also announced several personnel appointments.

Li Xinnian finally stayed in the steel rolling mill, and his position as acting director of the logistics department was also cancelled.

Lin Yi's administrative level was raised by one level, to level 19, from deputy section level to section level.

There is only one level between it and the 17th level of deputy division level.

Moreover, to Lin Yi's surprise, the Purchasing Section of the Logistics Department was separated and placed under the jurisdiction of the Factory Office. Lin Yi was the new head of the Purchasing Section, who served as a part-time employee.

In addition, the steel rolling mill had a new deputy director named Xu, who was not from the Steel Plant.

I heard that he was airdropped directly from above.

In charge of disciplinary work in the factory.

In other words, this Deputy Director Xu is Zhang Bing's immediate superior.

In addition to the reshuffle of the purchasing department, the factory's guesthouse was also cancelled.

A document came down from above prohibiting factories from setting up guesthouses, because corruption is quite serious in the guesthouse sector, and many people use the excuse of hosting to seek special treatment.

This document should have been issued years ago.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the former guesthouse director Huang Yang, who was also the brother-in-law of the factory director Yang Aiguo, must have used his connections to compromise with the canteen directors Lao Hu and Hu Danian.

Old Hu retired early and Huang Yang became the new canteen director.
