Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 295 Place Xiaodang and Sophora japonica

Xu Damao didn't go to Qin Huairu's house, and he didn't deal with the third uncle. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e couldn't go to the first uncle's house, so he went directly to the second uncle's house in the backyard.

After coming in, he was polite, and the second uncle sent Liu Guangfu to call the first and third uncles to discuss Qin Huairu's family affairs.

After the two elders came in and took their seats, the elder first said: "Xu Damao, you said that you are already in your thirties for the good deeds you did. If something happened, you can't just leave and ignore it, right?"

The second uncle Liu Haizhong also said: "That is, do you still have a little responsibility? Qin Huairu's matter has not yet come to fruition, so you just quit?"

Yan Bugui was still angry with Xu Damao, he didn't say anything but looked at Xu Damao with a cold face.

Xu Damao looked like he was being interrogated by the three courts, and said with a smile on his face: "Three uncles, how can I do that! This is not going to report at the Red Star Cinema today, I have to go to work, right? The movie is showing I only came back from a leave of absence in half."

The third master said: "You, Xu Damao, are too outrageous. Didn't you leave after arguing with Mrs. Zhang in the morning? You didn't bother with the two little girls at noon. The two children still ate at the elder master's house."

Xu Damao cried bitterly: "Three uncles, you say that Qin Huairu has done such a shameful thing, and you still want me to raise his children and wife? There is no such reason."

The three uncles didn't know that Qin Huairu went to Director Li to give Xu Damao a place to work, and Xu Damao was also beating his heart. If the two of them talked about this matter, Xu Damao would also be implicated. Today, I will go to the Red Star Cinema to implement the work. No, I didn't bother with the family affairs.

After Liu Haizhong made a discount, Yuanchang said: "We also know that Qin Huairu has done something that I'm sorry for you. Whether you two get divorced or continue to live, we won't say anything, will we?"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "It's still the second uncle who understands my difficulties."

The two are half-way couples, Qin Huairu made a scandal, and everyone would understand if they divorced.

The uncle said: "Da Mao, we don't want to criticize you. No matter whether you will divorce or not in the future, you have to make good arrangements for Aunt Zhang and the two children right now."

Xu Damao complained: "I also have a headache, I don't know how to arrange them, I can't serve Aunt Zhang as an elder, right? There are also two little girls, Xiaodang and Huaihua, I have to avoid suspicion when they are so old no?"

The three uncles looked at each other, and the second uncle said: "We have discussed it this afternoon, can you see if this works? You can go to the street tomorrow and arrange to have another inspection for Mrs. Zhang, and report the situation to the street by the way." , to see how the streets are arranged."

Xu Damao also knew about this matter, so he had to come forward by himself, and said cheerfully: "Alright, I'll go to the street tomorrow morning."

The uncle said: "Well, Xiao Dang and Huaihua will eat at our house for a few days first, and we will talk about it after Qin Huairu's matter is dealt with."

During the discussion just now, the third uncle’s own family was in difficulty and unable to raise these two little girls. Although the second uncle was capable, he even treated his own son like that. The first uncle didn’t expect the second uncle to take care of the two little girls. Let's eat at home first.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank the three uncles. To be honest, I can't take care of the two of them even after I get off work in the middle of the night."

After solving the old and small matters, the three uncles took turns explaining the principles of life to Xu Damao and criticizing the mistakes he made some time ago. Xu Damao could only listen to the reprimands of the three uncles patiently.

When the uncle returned to the house, everyone was waiting, and the uncle said: "It has been agreed, Xiao Dang and Huaihua, you two will eat here these few days and sleep in He Yushui's house."

After the two little girls agreed, Xiao Dang asked, "Grandpa Yi, where is my mother?"

The elder brother didn't know what to say for a moment, Xiao Dang was a half-grown child and knew everything. When he was in trouble, Yi Weidong pulled Xiao Dang and Huaihua and said:
"Come on, I'll take you to that room to see what else is missing."

Entering Yushui's private room, Yi Weidong took out He Yushui's old bedding and spread it on the floor, saying: "You guys clean up first, I'll get some briquettes to turn on the stove for you."

After some busy work, the two little girls were settled down, and Yi Weidong went back to his room after telling them.

The next day Xu Damao went to the street to come forward, and the street also had a headache. After some examinations, Mrs. Zhang was finally sent to a mental hospital.

A few days later, news came from Qin Huairu's side that it had been decided that Qin Huairu would need to go to prison to eat, but the length of time had not yet been determined.

Yi Weidong really regretted it now, he didn't expect that it was just that the two of them had an affair and they were actually sent to jail. This punishment is a bit heavy, but it's too late to regret.

When the news came out that day, Yi Weidong was tidying up in the inverted room, and Yan Jiedi came in bouncing around and asked, "Brother Weidong, what are you doing tidying up the house at this time?"

Yi Weidong said: "Didn't Qin Huairu go in now? I packed up this house for Xiaodang and Huaihua to live in. There is only one room for two people, it's too small."

"Brother Weidong, does Xu Damao ignore them?"

Yi Weidong put the dirty towel into the sink, and said, "I have a house here? I'm idle, and I'm still popular if someone lives there."

Yan Jiedi wanted to say something else, Xiao Dang came in holding the quilt, saw Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "Aunt Sini, are you there too?"

Yan Jiedi pinched Xiao Dang's face and said, "Xiao Dang, how many times have I told you not to call me Sini."

Xiao Dang stuck out his tongue and smiled, "Aunt Sini, I forgot."

Yan Jiedi just wanted to give Xiaodang a shot, but Xiaodang ran into the back room directly, and Yan Jiedi stomped her feet: "This little girl."

Yan Jiedi went into the house to help tidy up together, and when Sophora japonica and Xiaodang's things were brought over and tidied up, Yan Jiedi lay down on the big bed and said:

“It was nice to have my own room.”

Yan Jiedi still uses a foldable single bed at home. She lays it in the main room and has to get up early every day to put it away. Even if it’s a holiday, she can’t sleep in. She sleeps like this, let alone studying. She just sits on a small stool and sits on a wooden chair every day. Write homework.

Yi Weidong said: "Xie Di, I'll get you a desk, you can study in this room at night, and you can also teach the two of them by the way."

"Really? Brother Weidong." Yan Jiedi asked happily.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "What's the point, isn't it just a desk? If you don't mind, you can sleep with Xiaodang."

Xiao Dang took Yan Jiedi's hand and said with a smile, "It's great, with little aunt accompanying us, we won't be so afraid."

Huaihua also said: "Little aunt, can you cover me with a quilt in the middle of the night? My sister doesn't know how to cover me with a quilt, and I often wake up from the cold."

Xiao Dang said angrily: "Hua Huai, that's the time I let you freeze, why do you talk about it every day!"

Huai Hua said, "Hmph, I'll just say it."

At noon the next day, after Yi Weidong had dinner, He Yuzhu gave Yi Weidong a handful of peanuts and gave Yi Weidong a wink. Yi Weidong took it and walked to the place where Director Yang often rests, but he couldn't find it after walking around. Director Yang, it shouldn't be. Director Yang is only responsible for cleaning this area, and he couldn't find it today.

Yi Weidong turned to the nearby area to find Uncle Liu who was in charge of cleaning, lit a cigarette politely and asked, "Uncle Liu, why didn't the old factory manager go to work today?"

Uncle Liu put the big front door under his nose. After smelling it, there was an intoxicated smile on his face. He even said that it was good smoke. Yi Weidong took out a match and lit it again. Uncle Liu breathed out the smoke ring and said slowly:

"Ask the old factory manager, it seems that he was transferred to the base to grow vegetables!"

"Transferred? When did it happen?"

Uncle Liu said: "The one transferred yesterday afternoon is the planting base opposite us."

Yi Weidong chatted with Uncle Liu for a few more words, then returned to the cafeteria, called out He Yuzhu, and said, "Brother, the old factory manager has been transferred to the planting base opposite."

"Transferred away? Most of this is caused by the newly appointed director Nie, who wants to take advantage of the old factory director. Let me tell you, Weidong, this director Nie may not be as good as Director Li!"

Yi Weidong's heart skipped a beat. If he really did something wrong, he would have let Qin Huairu off if he knew it. If he were to be the director, he would have to make trouble for the rolling mill.

Yi Weidong asked: "Is the team leader of the breeding base still the team leader Gao?"

"It seems to be. I haven't heard anyone say that there is a replacement over there."

Yi Weidong said: "I have met with Team Leader Gao a few times, and I will go over there to see the situation later."

Yi Weidong gave advice on the cultivation of earthworms before, and then Team Leader Gao approached Yi Weidong a few times, and the two were still able to chat. This is a good time to go to the base in the name of seeing earthworm breeding, and ask about Director Yang. situation.

The big leader is still very concerned about his former subordinates. This year, Yi Weidong and He Yuzhu often sent some food. Yi Weidong also secretly sent some white noodles to the house of Director Yang. They are all hidden.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That's fine, you can go and have a look in the afternoon."

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Yi Weidong took some time to leave the factory, and walked a short distance through the residential area to the breeding base.

After entering the gate, Yi Weidong went directly to Team Leader Gao's office and knocked on the door. Team Leader Gao's voice came from inside; "Come in."

Yi Weidong came in and said with a smile, "Group Leader Gao, are you busy?"

Group leader Gao looked up to read the book, Yi Weidong got up and smiled, "Weidong, you are here, come sit down and chat."

Yi Weidong glanced at what forms appeared to be on the office, and said with a smile: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, Team Leader Gao is busy right now!"

Team leader Gao said: "I haven't filled out the report for last month! Let's not talk about it, you haven't been here recently, and there are a lot more earthworms now."

After speaking, he greeted Yi Weidong to sit down and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Yi Weidong took it over and said, "That's right, that's great. What I'm afraid of is the problem of earthworms overwintering. It seems that the previous idea is feasible."

The two chatted about earthworms for a while, and Yi Weidong talked about things in the factory, who got promoted again.Who was transferred to where? He pretended to be casual and said:
"I heard that the old factory manager has also transferred your base?"

Group leader Gao said directly: "You are quite well informed. Lao Yang sent me here. I arranged for him to raise earthworms."

After talking, Team Leader Gao looked at Yi Weidong with a guilty conscience. Yi Weidong smiled and said, "What are you looking at me for, Team Leader Gao? There is nothing wrong with your arrangement. Earthworms are smelly and disgusting. The old factory manager did this Life is just right."

Team leader Gao smiled unnaturally, and said, "I was still muttering before, because I was afraid that this arrangement would not be appropriate."

Then he told Yi Weidong: "Don't call me the old factory manager from now on, call Lao Yang more kind."

Only then did Yi Weidong feel that it was inappropriate to call the old factory director, and he nodded in agreement. Since he knew that Director Yang raised earthworms, he could go and see the old factory director.

Yi Weidong said, "Group Leader Gao, you still have business to do. I'll go and see how the earthworms are doing. I won't delay your work." '

Team leader Gao said a few words politely, and Yi Weidong walked out of the office by himself and took it to the door.

There used to be only one breeding room, but now there are three. Yi Weidong quickly found Director Yang who was dozing on the pile of straw in the room.

After being awakened by the sound of footsteps, Factory Manager Yang quickly stood up and saw that it was Yi Weidong, then he relaxed and said with a smile: "It's you, I thought someone came to check it!"

Yi Weidong said: "Director Yang, you didn't tell anyone, I searched around before I found you."

"Oh, don't mention it, I moved overnight yesterday, and I haven't had time to inform you, is the big leader still like that?"

Yi Weidong took out the peanuts in his pocket and handed them to Director Yang, saying, "The leader has become much happier since he came back from the south, and his health is much better than last year."

"It's good to be cheerful, and I will feel at ease."

Director Yang asked, "Why did you come here directly?"

Yi Weidong said: "I have some friendship with Team Leader Gao. I told Secretary Du about the earthworms you raised. Later, Team Leader Gao started the breeding."

"Yeah, I remembered when you said that."

Yi Weidong asked: "How about Team Leader Gao, can you trust him?"

Yi Weidong didn't know much about Team Leader Gao, so he asked a little worriedly.

Director Yang said: "Don't worry, Lao Gao is not that kind of person."

The two chatted for a while, Yi Weidong took out 20 yuan and some bills, and stuffed them to Director Yang. Yi Weidong gave them many times. Received directly.

Yi Weidong asked, "Director Yang, where did you move to?"

"I'm worried. The previous house was allocated by the rolling mill. Now we have three generations squeezed into two houses, and there is no space for us to leave the house."

"Then how do you live! The factory manager can't ignore it, can he?"

Factory manager Yang, the elders, two sons, grandchildren, and several other people would not be able to fit in two rooms.

Factory Manager Yang said helplessly: "There is no other way. The houses are all distributed, and there will be no new houses to distribute to us for a while."

Yi Weidong thought of his yard where there were slaughterhouses and said, "I have a house allocated to the factory in the last row of the family yard, why don't you move in?"

Yi Weidong doesn't use it for a few days throughout the year, and the furniture is all new. He just needs to clean it and he can carry his bags and live there.

"Didn't you live in a courtyard?" Director Yang asked.

Yi Weidong explained: "Didn't I collect live pigs for the cafeteria? This yard is used as a slaughterhouse. I only used it a few times in autumn and winter. I bought a set of furniture and so on. You can live in it directly." gone."

Factory Manager Yang said happily: "Then I thank you Wei Dong, it's better now, it's quiet here, living in the city is so satisfying."
