A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 988 I am a tough guy! (Please subscribe!)

Deputy Director Li kept his word. Although no advice had been given on how to deal with Director Yang's case, he still allocated a few temporary worker quotas for Hua Shier.

Hua Shier went to Yaer Hutong and brought Zhang Xuejun, Men Saner and Dengzhao into the security department.

Zhang Xuejun and his two brothers were all capable people, so they invited Hua Twelve to dinner on the day they joined the factory. At the dinner table, the three brothers each gave him 300 yuan.

Hua Twelve did not take the money. Firstly, he had no shortage of money. Secondly, Zhang Xuejun and his men were all people who put loyalty first. If he showed them a favor, these three would surely be grateful and become his capable men. With his confidants now in the future, he could be lazy and have more free time in the security department.

In addition to these three people, Yan Bugui sent 400 yuan to the courtyard, of which 200 yuan was for arranging for Yan Jiecheng to join the security department, and the other 200 yuan was interesting, as it was for the trip he made for Liu Guangtian.

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "Uncle San, we only talked about Jie Cheng before. You didn't tell me about Guangtian. Besides, Uncle Er should have come to talk to me about this matter. It's not your turn to arrange work for Liu Guangtian!"

Yan Bugui smiled mischievously: "Uncle San was wrong in this matter. He let the secret slip and Guangtian heard it. He went home to beg Lao Liu for help, but Lao Liu was reluctant to part with the money and said he would use his connections to find him a job that didn't cost him money."

"Twelve, tell me, what good job can you get without spending money? It's either making coal balls or sawing wood. Guangtian is not stupid, so he came to me for help and asked me to talk to you. In addition, he borrowed these two hundred from me, saying that he would pay me back monthly after spending."

"I just thought that Guangtian is old enough and he is also a child who grew up in our courtyard. I couldn't bear to see him begging me so much!"

Hua Shier just laughed. If he believed a single word of this, he would be a fool.

He pushed the four hundred yuan back and said, "You are treating me like a fool. I don't care what happens to you!"

"do not!"

Yan Bugui suddenly became anxious, his face flushed, "Okay, Third Master, tell the truth, I was greedy, I told Guangtian that it was 300, I just wanted to lend him 200, and I would make another 100."

Hua Shier was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This Yan Bugui was really something. Not only did he find a job for his son, he also wanted to bring someone in to take advantage of it and get some kickbacks.

  Yan Bugui's secret was exposed, and he explained with a red face:

"Twelve, you also know the situation of the Third Uncle's family. Jie Cheng is going to get married, and everything needs money. I want to make some money, but of course I mainly feel sorry for Guangtian."

Hua Twelve said unhappily, "Where's Liu Guangtian? Find him and I'll talk to him!"

Yan Bugui went out awkwardly to find Liu Guangtian. As soon as Liu Guangtian entered the room, he bowed to Hua Twelve and said, "Brother Twelve!"

Hua Twelve asked him to sit down and talk: "Uncle San told me about your situation. He wants to hire a temporary worker for 300 yuan. Ask around in the city to see if there is anyone with this price!"

Liu Guangtian nodded repeatedly: "Everyone knows this, three hundred yuan is a favor, and it may not necessarily find a good job. I know that it is you, brother Twelve, who takes care of the kids in our courtyard, and I am grateful in my heart."

Hua Twelve nodded and said, "I know it's not easy for you, so I'll charge you 200 this time. You can give Uncle San thirty yuan later. After all, he came to me to ask for help for you, so don't let him work in vain!"

Liu Guangtian had been prepared to borrow 300 yuan, but Hua Shier saved him 100 yuan just by asking for it. Even if he gave Yan Bugui 30 yuan, he still saved 70 yuan, which was several months' salary for a temporary worker. How could he not be happy? He thanked him repeatedly.

Yan Bugui was also surprised. His little trick was exposed. He had been prepared to work in vain and let Liu Guangtian get a bargain. However, he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better. Hua Twelve, knowing his plan, actually let him get thirty yuan. Now he felt ashamed and touched, and felt that Hua Twelve was a really good and kind boy.

Both of them were very grateful to Hua Twelve.

Two days later, Zhang Xuejun, Men Saner, Dengzhao, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian successfully joined the steel rolling mill. Xu Damao was also transferred to the Security Department, but since he was still training apprentices there, he stayed in the Propaganda Department during the day.

On the first day these people came to the steel mill, Hua Shier held a small meeting with them. They were all his own people and temporary workers were only temporary. As long as they made contributions, they could apply for regularization. So he asked Zhang Xuejun and the others to wander around the family quarters of the steel mill when they had nothing to do. If they found any suspicious people or bad elements, they would go there at night and capture them directly.

Don't worry if you can't find the bad guys. Once he finishes the house matters, he will naturally help them find their target.

Zhang Xuejun and others nodded in agreement, and were truly grateful to Hua Twelve. Liu Guangtian was also a passionate young man, and he patted his chest and promised that he would listen to his brother Twelve in the future. Only Yan Jiecheng expressed his opinion, but he looked timid and not happy at all.

Speaking of the house, after getting engaged, Hua Shier thought about finding someone to renovate the house. However, according to the memories instilled by the system, although he grew up in the capital, he did not know many people, let alone a skilled worker who could renovate the house.

During this period, he did find a few carpenters, but they all came to the city after 1949 and were doing ordinary carpentry work in other places.

This courtyard was originally the residence of a monk king. It would be a waste of time to let these ordinary craftsmen repair it.

Hua Shier wanted to find the craftsmen who built gardens for the rich and powerful in the city, but after wandering around for several days, he didn't get any news.

After the meeting with Zhang Xuejun and others today, Hua Shier went to the Propaganda Department to find Xu Damao, who was teaching his disciples how to show movies.

The Xu family is a local family in Beijing. Xu Damao's father is a movie projectionist and can get free tickets. He knows a lot of people from all walks of life. Hua Shier wants to ask Xu's father to help find if there are any old craftsmen from the past.

Xu Damao agreed immediately and said that he would go to his parents' house the next day during the holiday and ask his father if he knew any craftsman like that.

After finishing his business, Xu Damao called Hua Twelve outside to smoke, and then talked about the treatment:

"Twelve, the medicine you prescribed for me is too bitter. How long do I have to drink it for it to be finished?"

Hua Twelve held up three fingers: "It will take at least three months!"

Xu Damao's face turned bitter: "You said before that we can't have sex during the medication period. You actually have to wait for three months. Are you trying to kill me? What if I get sick from holding it in?"

Hua Twelve just laughed. He tutted, "Brother Mao, how long can you hold back on your three or two minutes? You really can make a joke!"

Xu Damao's face immediately turned red: "Twelve, you will have no friends if you do this!"

After Hua Shier's popular science explanation during his treatment, he now knew what a delicate number two or three minutes was, so these words touched a sore spot and he immediately became anxious.

Hua Twelve looked at him with a smile; "Just follow my doctor's advice and take the medicine on time every day. I will give you acupuncture every two days. After the medicine stops, your acupuncture time will be at least improved to 30 minutes. But since I don't have any friends, I think I'll forget about the acupuncture at night."

Xu Damao held Hua Twelve's hand and said, "Although we are not friends, we will always be good brothers. Tonight, my brother will buy two pounds of pork kidneys, and we can eat them raw to replenish our body!"

Hua Twelve was very annoyed: "You don't mind being so naughty, forget it. I'm too energetic at my age and don't need any supplements. Brother Mao, you should just enjoy it yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. He asked why Xu Damao had a smell on his body. He thought he had peed in his pants, but it turned out to be coming from his mouth.

Xu Damao called him from behind:

"You don't like pork kidneys, but I have some pork loins. After marinating them, they are very fragrant. I'll get you one when I get back. You can eat it as a sausage. It's very fragrant and chewy when you take a bite!"

  Hua Shier naturally knew what Qian'errou was. When he heard Xu Damao say that it was a whole piece and he could eat it like a sausage and even take a bite, he couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought about that scene. Was it like feeding a donkey? Ugh.

Even though he had the body of a celestial being, he still felt nauseous due to the psychological effect.

Xu Damao kept complaining from behind: "Hey, you walk faster the more you talk. You'll understand the taste of it when you finish eating."

When Hua Shier heard what he said, he just gave him a middle finger without even turning his head, and quickened his pace, fearing that he would encounter someone he couldn't explain clearly!

After get off work in the evening, Xu Damao went back to the courtyard with Hua Shier. They rode their bikes and chatted while riding. Soon they returned to Nanluoguxiang. From a distance, they saw Qin Huairu standing at the gate of the courtyard with a big belly, looking over here. It was obviously waiting for lunch. Hua Shier shook his head. Qin Huairu's belly was about to give birth. It was a dangerous time. If she didn't stay at home at this time, she would really fight for a lunch box. If she was seen like this, it would be hard to avoid being looked down upon.

  This woman has no self-respect and self-love. It's her own fault that she doesn't get respect from others. Just like in the original plot, Xu Damao wanted to exchange steamed buns for steamed buns, because he had the impression that Qin Huairu was an indecent person. If she were a self-respecting person, would she dare to say obscene words to her in the cafeteria?

Even if Xu Damao had more courage, he wouldn't dare.

Sure enough, when he rode up to her, Xu Damao teased her, "Sister Qin, I'm waiting for your Mr. He. Oh, what a mouth I'm asking, where's your lunch box?"

Although he changed his words before Qin Huairu got angry, Xu Damao said that on purpose and showed no respect at all.

  Qin Huairu still couldn't hear it, but she didn't get angry. She greeted Hua Twelve first, then glared at Xu Damao:

"Get out of here right now and go somewhere cooler, or I'll tell everyone about your little shit."

  Xu Damao immediately got scared. He had a lot of troubles. Who knew which one Qin Huairu knew? He smiled awkwardly:

"Look at what you said. I'm a decent person. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just kidding you. Come on, Sister Qin, just wait. Uncle He and the others are right behind us. Twelve and I will go in first."

Qin Huairu laughed, meaning that it was nothing, why are you being so scared.

  Before Hua Shier and Xu Damao entered the courtyard,

He Daqing and Sha Zhu came back, and the former greeted Hua Twelve from afar.

Hua Twelve also smiled and waved his hand in response: "Uncle He, you two walked really fast today!"

"Hey, just as I walked out of the factory gate, I ran into Lao Wang from the purchasing department. We are all acquaintances, and he was just on his way, so he used his tricycle to drop us off at the alley entrance!"

He Daqing was already close when he spoke.

  Qin Huairu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw He Daqing holding two lunch boxes and went to greet him with a smile:

"Uncle He, the lunch box is quite heavy, let me help you carry it!"

According to Qin Huairu's past experience, He Daqing would take advantage of the situation and then chat with her with a smile. She would smile at him and give him a few glances, and he would be delighted and satisfied. Her mother-in-law taught her these methods to deal with these men, and they were very effective.

  But I didn't expect that today He Daqing would raise his hand to stop me with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Huai Ru, today is not possible. We will have a day off tomorrow. Yu Shui will be back tonight. She is tired from studying at school and needs nutrition. I have to save this lunch box for Yu Shui today!"

Qin Huairu's hands froze immediately. This person wanted to keep it for his daughter. What could she do?

But she couldn't get the lunch box, and when she went back, the older ones would scold her and the younger ones would make a fuss. She couldn't stand it anymore.

My eyes immediately turned red.

When Sha Zhu saw it, he felt distressed: "Hey, Sister Qin, why are you crying? When Yu Shui goes to school, this lunch box is still yours!"

Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said, "Silly Zhu, Uncle He, it's not that I, Qin Huairu, want this lunch box, but my child is still young, and this in my stomach also needs nutrition, but you also know the situation of our family, it's not easy for me as a woman, thinking about these, I can't help it..."

At this time, a bicycle bell rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw He Yushui riding back on his bicycle with a smile on his face: "Dad, I'm back. Oh, you brought me a lunch box. Give it to me quickly. I'm hungry!"

She rode over, got off the bike and took the lunch box: "Dad, let me help you get it!"

Ever since He Daqing came back and cleared up the misunderstanding with He Yushui and let the latter know that her father had been sending her living expenses every month for so many years, the father and daughter reconciled. Every time the little girl came back, she had a smile on her face, which was completely different from before.

When Qin Huairu saw that the real owner had returned, she cursed inwardly, wiped her tears, put on a smile and greeted He Yushui, as if she was not the one who tried to snatch the lunch box just now.

He Yushui took the lunch box and then greeted Hua Twelve enthusiastically.

After she learned from He Daqing that it was Hua Twelve who brought her father back and was her father's savior, her attitude towards Hua Twelve took a 180-degree turn and became extremely good to him.

He Daqing greeted Hua Twelve:

"Twelve, you didn't come last time I asked you to have dinner. Today the rain is back, so I'll cook a few more dishes. Come to my place to eat. Damao can come too. Let's have a good drink together."

Hua Shier thought it was a good idea, so he invited He Daqing to eat in his room. After all, the ear room was too small. If so many people were crowded in there to drink, they would sweat all over by the time they came back, and they would not be able to stay in the room anymore.

He Daqing naturally would not refuse, and the few of them returned to the Central Courtyard chatting and laughing.

During the meal, Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e over and also brought a piece of pork with him. When He Daqing saw it, he exclaimed that it was a delicious thing.

Hua Shier also did not come empty-handed. He took a bottle of Fenjiu from the storage space and pretended to take it out from the cupboard.

He Daqing started the fire at Hua Shier's house and soon prepared a table full of dishes.

  As they were eating, Qin Huairu came in with a large bowl, smiling:

“I’m eating.”

He Yushui's face suddenly turned ugly, but Sha Zhu greeted her warmly: "Sister Qin, why don't you sit down and eat something too!"

"I won't sit down. Banggeng and Xiaodang smelled the fragrance at home and were making a fuss. I thought of coming over to borrow some meat to satisfy the children's cravings."

He Daqing said nothing. He took the bowl and put some food in it. It wasn't much. Then he said, "Huai Ru, that's all. If there's more, it won't be enough for us to drink. Yu Shui hasn't eaten enough yet!"

The smile reappeared on He Yushui's face.

Although Qin Huairu was somewhat dissatisfied, since He Daqing had spoken, she could only agree with a smile, thank him, and go back.

When they got back to the Jia family, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng rushed over immediately. Seeing that there were not many dishes, only enough for two children, Jia Zhang immediately started to curse: "You bunch of conscienceless people, this is all you can give, who will eat it?"

After a long curse, he pulled the stick and walked inside: "Good grandson, let's eat together. Your mother and Xiaodang are both money-losing goods, so we won't give them any food."

Xiaodang burst into tears immediately out of grievance, and Qin Huairu's eyes also turned red, but she said nothing.

Listening to the Jia family's scolding, Xu Damao spat, "What the hell!"

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "It's not much anyway. We are all neighbors, so I'll help if I can."

At this moment, someone suddenly came to the hospital, and someone called out from outside: "Is Section Chief Hua home?"

  When Hua Twelve heard the voice, he knew who was coming and stood up and walked out:

"Xuejun, why are you here!"

Zhang Xuejun pulled Hua Twelve aside and said, "I found a Buddhist's lair near the steel mill, but there are tough guys inside. Why don't we call the police?"

Hua Shier waved his hands and said, "Why call the police? I'm a tough guy. Who can be tougher than me? We'll take him down tonight. It will be a great honor for you!"

  Xu Damao saw that it was a colleague coming over and was about to say hello when he heard the conversation between the two. His eyes suddenly lit up:

"Then I'll go too. I'm also in the security department now."

Thanks to: 08a, Demon World Xiaoxiaohu, and Renzuijiuxing for their rewards. Thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you very much.
