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

Yan Fugui smiled and complimented: "Lin Yi, you are capable. I can't be wrong about people. You will be the one in our courtyard in the future."

After saying that, Yan Fugui gave a thumbs up.

Hearing the compliments from outsiders, the old lady was very happy and smiled.

Lin Yi was calm and said, "Teacher Yan, you flatter me."

Yan Fugui didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Yi's behavior. He used to be dissatisfied, but after Lin Yi went to work at the steel rolling mill, Yan Fugui's attitude did change. He felt that Lin Yi's unapproachable behavior was actually a sign of a great general.

"Lin Yi, I heard Lao Yi say in the front yard that you want to treat us to a meal?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Well, Uncle Yi just said that I just got a new house, which is also a big happy event. I will definitely treat everyone to a meal." Lin Yi did not deny it. He had just confirmed it with Yi Zhonghai.

"I plan to ask Brother Zhuzi to help me cook, and then we'll treat everyone in every household."

"Lin Yi is so generous." Yan Fugui sighed. He originally thought that he would just invite the head of each family to have a meal, but he didn't expect that everyone in the hospital could eat. The cost of this is not small.

"Lin Yi, let me ask you a question. Do you accept gifts for this dinner?" Yan Fugui was still concerned about money, so he asked about gifts. If he accepted gifts, it would be another expense of one or two dollars.

If it weren't for Yan Jiecheng's incident, Yan Fugui would have given at most fifty or eighty cents, but Lin Yi helped the Yan family settle the matter. If the gift money was too little, Yan Fugui would seem too ungrateful. If he gave too much, Yan Fugui would be really distressed. Because of Yan Jiecheng's incident, his coffin money was reduced by more than half.

"I don't accept gifts. When I first arrived at the Siheyuan, I didn't invite everyone to dinner. This time I'll take the opportunity of the new house to make up for it." Lin Yi expressed his plan.

After hearing this, Yan Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his eyes began to roll. This was a dinner for the people in the compound. There were at least a hundred people in the compound, so there would have to be more than ten tables. Especially for the Yan family, they could put together a whole table.

A lot of people will definitely be needed to help at that time. Since they help, they will definitely be able to get the leftovers.

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui felt very happy, and the disappointment he felt for not having a house was also alleviated.

Lou Xiao'e was walking boredly along the tree-lined avenue of the steel rolling mill.

Today, the original owner of the steel mill, Director Lou, who is now a joint venture between the state and private sectors, came to the steel mill for a regular meeting. Since the joint venture, Director Lou Zhenhua has gradually faded out of the management of the steel mill. Many new workers don't know that the steel mill has a private director.

Lou's mother had her own social circle, and she went to play cards with some wealthy ladies in Dongcheng District. Lou Xiao'e, her daughter, stayed at home alone, so Lou Zhenhua simply brought her daughter to the steel mill.

Lou Xiao'e is already at the age to get married. A few months ago, she found a partner at the steel rolling mill, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Lou Zhenhua looked down on the son of the former servant from the bottom of his heart. It was just that the situation forced him to do so, and given their family background, it was really not easy to find a son-in-law with a good family background.

Fortunately, after some further investigation, it was discovered that the maid's son not only had a bad character, but was also infertile, so the marriage was called off.

After the marriage was called off, Lou Zhenhua naturally looked for other candidates, but they always had one flaw or another, and he couldn't make a good choice at the moment.

Lou Zhenhua has his own views on the situation. Since Lin Yi, the higher-ups have been tolerant of "capitalists" like them, and public-private partnerships have been opened. But Lou Zhenhua always feels that things will not be so simple in the future, so if he doesn't want his daughter to be labeled a "capitalist", he needs a son-in-law with a good family background.

Unfortunately, such a family looks down on the Lou family.

Lou Zhenhua, who had to settle for the next best thing, set his sights on the steel mill. In the past, he would shirk his duties if he could, but this time he brought Lou Xiao'e with him, with the idea of ​​finding a suitable partner for her.

Lou Xiao'e knew her father's thoughts. When she was at the Lou family, Lou Zhenhua often talked about the situation, but Lou Xiao'e didn't want to get married just like that. Last time, Lou Xiao'e disagreed with Xu Damao's matter. Xu Damao's eyes were always lustful, and his eyes were always looking at her chest.

If it weren't for her father and mother deciding, Lou Xiao'e wouldn't even want to see him.

Fortunately, the marriage was called off. The reason seemed to be that Xu Damao was infertile.

This is what Lou Xiao'e heard when her father and mother were chatting. Thinking of Xu Damao's infertility, Lou Xiao'e blushed again. After all, she was a young girl who had never had sex, and this was too embarrassing.

These days, her father and mother always urged her to choose a partner, but Lou Xiao'e really didn't want to find someone she had no feelings for.

A girl like her never learned any serious skills, but she did learn about romantic love and began to yearn for it. She always fantasized about the existence of a prince charming.

Lou Zhenhua was in a meeting, and the bored Lou Xiao'e came out by herself and walked slowly on the tree-lined avenue of the steel mill. She didn't like the steel mill very much, because it was too dusty, too noisy, and there was a smell of rust.

But at this moment, she had nowhere to go. There was a reception room, but it was even more boring.

Xu Damao had just come out of the Propaganda Department office, and he had been quiet for a while recently. Last time, he had tricked Yan Jiecheng, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to help Yan Jiecheng, and the matter was solved. Yan Jiecheng was not fired, nor did he receive any punishment.

However, Yan Jiecheng left the workshop, which made Xu Damao very happy.

Originally, Xu Damao had not thought of cheating Yan Jiecheng so early. The main reason was that Yan Jiecheng was too talkative. He would always tell the people in the department that Xu Damao went to the countryside to take things from the villagers and had sex with country girls.

How could such things be brought up in the office, especially since Yan Jiecheng was Xu Damao's apprentice and entered the Propaganda Department through Xu Damao's channel. This was simply ungrateful.

Xu Damao tricked Yan Jiecheng, thinking that the best outcome would be that Yan Jiecheng would be fired.

What was unexpected was the appearance of Lin Yi. Xu Damao could never have imagined that during the short time he had been in the countryside, Lin Yi had become a clerk in the security department and also the leader of the public security team.

Xu Damao also complained about Lin Yi. It's okay, why bother to meddle in other people's business?

Xu Damao knew that Yan Jiecheng had married the widow he slept with. Yan Fugui's family kept it a secret, and not many people in the hospital knew about it, but Xu Damao knew about it. Xu Damao used to visit the widow Wang Guihua several times when he went to the countryside to show movies.
