A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 991 What kind of father is this! (Please subscribe!)

PS: It should be Yan Jiecheng who joined the Security Department. In the first two chapters, it was written as Yan Jiefang. It has been corrected.

When Hua Twelve heard about Yangshi Lei, his eyes lit up and he made the decision immediately, asking He Daqing to help invite Yangshi Lei to come and see the house.

Xu Damao was just listening nearby, and he also heard He Daqing teasing his father, but he was not angry. He came over and said with a smile:

"Hey, Uncle He, I don't like what you just said. The carpenter my father found for Twelve is a good one, but he doesn't like it. What can I do? And I've never heard of the style Lei you mentioned. What about repairing the palace? Is it as mysterious as you say?"

He Daqing chuckled and said, "Your father is only doing OK now, before liberation."

  He waved his hand halfway through his speech:

"Forget it, go back and ask your dad and you'll know if Shi Lei is famous. Your dad will definitely know, but he can't find his door!"

The fathers of Zhang Xuejun, Men Saner and others all came to the old city after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They didn't know the things about the old capital, but after listening to He Daqing's talk, they all became interested and suggested that He Daqing tell them about it. Some offered cigarettes, some offered water.

This is how it is these days. There are not many entertainment options, and the younger generation generally likes to listen to the older generation bragging and telling stories.

  He Daqing took the dish out of the pot, then took a puff of the cigarette, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, then I'll tell you about this type of thunder!"

"Lei is a surname, not referring to a certain person, but to this family. Yangshi Lei is the direct descendant of this family. Why is he called 'Yangshi'? This is because his family has been the head of the Yangshi House in the Qing Dynasty for generations."

"You may not understand what I'm telling you, so I'll just tell you this. You know Changchun Garden, right? That was built by someone else. Longevity Hill, Yuquan Hill, Fragrant Hill, Temple of Heaven, Old Summer Palace, Summer Palace, Chengde Mountain Resort, East and West Qing Tombs."

"There are also all the palaces in the capital, big and small. If this house is not the work of Yangshi Lei, and if Yangshi Lei did not participate in it, then this house is not up to standard. It's like buying a bicycle. Yangshi Lei buys Phoenix and Forever, but yours is an old miscellaneous brand. Do you understand what I mean?"

  When everyone heard that so many buildings were built by Yangshi Lei, they couldn't help but admire him and said that Yangshi Lei was really awesome!

Xu Damao still refused to accept: "If it's so famous, how come we haven't heard of it? Nowadays, I haven't heard of anyone looking for Yangshi Lei to renovate their house!"

  He Daqing glanced at him:

"Don't you see what era it is? When the rain was light, there were still people writing letters of complaint, saying that my name was a nostalgia for the Qing Dynasty and was dissatisfied with the new Guo family. I was almost scared to death."

"You guys, my name is like this. I was a house repairman for the Qing Dynasty. How can it be good? Even if I take the job now, I dare not show my name."

After he said this, everyone understood what was going on. When they heard that He Daqing was reported because of his name, many people laughed.

  Xu Damao grinned evilly:

"Uncle He, if it were me, you should change your name. Why call yourself Daqing? It would be better to call yourself He Jianguo!"

  He Daqing glared at him:

"You think I didn't want to change? I changed it after being reported. But someone wrote another report letter, saying that the name He means He Gu, and He Jianguo means He Gujian. They said I was secretly questioning the new Guo family."

He Daqing looked helpless:

"The leader said you should change it. Don't use names like Founding the Army, Founding the Country, Founding the Party, etc. It's hard to pronounce them clearly."

Before he finished speaking, everyone was laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Sha Zhu and He Yushui were depressed when they heard this: "Who is so wicked? Who did you offend, Dad?"

  He Daqing looked outside:

"I don't know who it is, but I know it's from our hospital. I suspected Lao Xu at first because we were always fighting. Later I found out that Lao Xu couldn't read and couldn't write a letter of denunciation."

Xu Damao corrected him, "It's definitely not my dad, but Uncle He, you are wrong, my dad can read!"

He Daqing curled his lips and said, "What the hell, we learned that later when we went to a literacy class together!"

Hua Twelve suddenly interrupted: "Uncle He, have you never doubted Yi Zhonghai?"

He Yuzhu was unhappy: "Twelve, stop throwing dirty water on me all the time."

Before Hua Twelve could say anything, Xu Damao sneered:

"Silly Zhu, what you said is wrong. Was it Twelve who splashed it? He is the one who got it dirty. Oh, and did he give your family the living allowance that he gave to Tan Yushui?"

He Yushui nodded at the side: "I gave it to you, and even paid some extra compensation!"

She didn't say how much, but Hua Twelve knew it must not be less, at least double.

  He Yuzhu wanted to say something, but Hua Twelve waved his hand to interrupt:

"Don't argue with me. Look, Uncle He didn't say anything!"

  Sha Zhu turned to look at his father and saw He Daqing's expression was meaningful. He hesitated:

"Dad, you're not really an uncle, are you?"

  He Daqing didn't say anything definite, but just laughed:

"I don't know whether it is true or not, but there were not many people in our courtyard who could read at that time!"

Can Yi Zhonghai read?

How could an eighth-level fitter not be able to read the blueprints?

Although He Daqing had no evidence, he now thought that it was most likely Yi Zhonghai who reported him. He didn't think about it this way before because the other party pretended to be a decent person. Now that those dirty deeds were exposed, he connected the previous events.

After smoking, He Daqing asked Sha Zhu for help, and the father and son prepared a table full of dishes in no time. Lou Xiao'e and He Yushui had a separate table, and the men, young and old, were all drinking and eating at the main table. Everyone praised He Daqing's cooking skills.

  Xu Damao picked up the wine glass:

"Today we are having a celebration banquet. Everyone has made great contributions and received awards, all thanks to our Section Chief's wisdom and bravery. I suggest that we toast Section Chief Hua. Come on, let me drink first!"

He didn't need anyone to persuade him after he finished the 200-ounce cup in one gulp!

Zhang Xuejun, Men Saner, Dengzhao, and Liu Guangtian all said "good" and then stood up to toast Hua Twelve.

  Hua Twelve glared at Xu Damao unhappily:

"Don't use nonsense words. What are you saying about me being wise and powerful? Although what you said is true, if it gets out, people will think we are engaging in personality cult."

At first, everyone was a little stern when they heard him speak seriously, but when they heard him say "Although what you said is true", they all couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Hua Shier drank a cup with everyone else, then filled his own glass:

"We have to thank Uncle He for today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food. Come on, Uncle He, I'll toast to you!"

  Others also toasted, He Daqing drank a glass with everyone, and then felt a little embarrassed:

"Twelve, I actually have something to ask of you!"

Hua Twelve smiled and waved his hands: "What's the use of asking for help? If you have something to ask, just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it. If not, don't make it difficult for me!"

"That's right, that's right, you can definitely do it!"

  He Daqing smiled awkwardly:

"I think that Zhuzi should find a partner at his age. I have asked the matchmakers on the street to help keep an eye out for him. If there is a suitable one, I will arrange a blind date for him. However, the two of us are currently living in your old wing, and it's too crowded for two people to live in. If the girl sees this, she will definitely not be happy."

Hua Twelve smiled and said, "Uncle He, don't you want to change the house back?"

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, he still wasn't willing to change rooms, it would be even better if he could change it back.

He Daqing waved his hands repeatedly: "Twelve, don't get me wrong, this whole courtyard is yours, how could your uncle do such a shameless thing." "Uncle is thinking, if we give one of the back houses in the front row to the old Yan family, there will be two empty rooms, they used to belong to the old Guan family, but now they have moved out after getting divided up by the textile factory. I think those two rooms are okay, uncle wants to discuss it with you, you see it's not right for you to get married with only one room, uncle will give you the side room, how about Sha Zhu and I move into the two back houses?"

Hua Twelve's heart moved. Although his main room was not small, it was just one room after all. It was not convenient to put things in it. Moreover, the wing room was next to the main room. If he wanted to ask Yangshi Lei to renovate it, he would only renovate the main room and keep the wing room. It would look awkward.

He Daqing saw that Hua Twelve didn't say anything, and said awkwardly: "I've asked Director Wang about this matter, and she said that you are the owner of the house, and as long as you nod, the street office will have no objection!"

Hua Twelve hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's do as you wish, Uncle He, but those two back rooms have no windows and are in the shade, so you and Sha Zhu have to think it over!"

He Daqing was immediately delighted when he saw Hua Twelve agreed:

"What's the big deal? Let Yangshi Lei help tidy up and open a window!"

After he finished speaking, he saw He Yuzhu eating the food without any care, so he slapped him on the back of the head:

"Why don't you thank Twelve?"

Sha Zhu felt stars in his eyes. Just when he was about to pause for a moment before speaking, he saw his father raising his hand again. He was so scared that he hurriedly thanked Hua Twelve, fearing that if he was a little late, there would be more stars.

  After two rounds of drinking, Xu Damao fell down first, and was helped into the inner room by Lou Xiaoe, and fell asleep. Zhang Xuejun and the others were speechless:

"I thought Damao could drink a lot. He just kept toasting, but now he can't drink anymore."

Hua Shier thought to himself, this is nothing, you didn’t see in the original plot, this guy even lost his pants after drinking.

As soon as the male host Xu Damao lay down, everyone felt like not staying any longer, so after finishing their meal they said goodbye to Lou Xiaoe and left.

Liu Guangtian returned home, and Zhang Xuejun and others wanted to go to Hua Shier's house to sit for a while. He Yushui told Sha Zhu that when she was riding her bicycle, the chain scratched the chain box and she wanted Sha Zhu to help fix it.

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "How can I fix it when I'm drunk? I'll fix it for you tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll wait until you come back next time!"

  As he was talking, Qin Huairu came out of the house with a big belly:

"Silly, do you know how to use a sewing machine? I'm going to sew some clothes for Banggeng, but there's something wrong with the stitching. Can you fix it?"

Sha Zhu straightened his back and said, "Yes, I am the best at repairing sewing machines. Sister Qin, I will go and show you!"

After saying that, he went straight to Lao Jia's house.

He Yushui stamped her feet in anger: "Dad, look at my brother!"

He Daqing: "Huai Ru, Sha Zhu doesn't know anything, but I can repair the sewing machine." He followed her in.

He Yushui: “.” This time she was so angry that she burst into tears.

Zhang Xuejun found it very interesting and kept smacking his lips: "What do you think of these two? Tsk tsk."

Men Saner smiled at He Yushui and said, "Sister, how about I help you take a look?"

After he said that, under the meaningful gazes of Hua Shier and Zhang Xuejun, he went to help He Yushui repair the bicycle. The latter burst into laughter with a blushing face.

Zhang Xuejun touched his chin: "These two."

Hua Shier handed him a cigarette: "There is an affair"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

He Daqing was a job seeker. He had a day off the next day, so he went to find Yangshi Lei as soon as he got up.

Yangshi Lei is in his fifties and speaks very politely.

Hua Shier stated his requirements. First of all, the original charm of the ancient buildings must be maintained, heating should be installed in both houses, and it would be best if a toilet was built in the ear room.

Yangshi Lei said he had no problem with other requests. He did not agree directly to the toilet. Instead, he walked around the courtyard and found that a sewage pipe had been dug in the central courtyard pool. Only then did he agree. However, he said that the cost would increase a lot because of the need to lay pipes.

For the renovation of the last two rooms, Yangshi Lei asked for three hundred yuan, including a meal during the construction period. Seeing his cautious look, he was afraid that Hua Twelve would not agree to lower the price.

In fact, he didn't know what Hua Twelve was thinking. He thought it was really a damn bargain.

The two parties hit it off immediately. Hua Shier gave half of the wages as a deposit and paid for the meal directly. Yangshi Lei also said that he could start work tomorrow.

The next day, Yangshi Lei entered the yard to start renovations, so Hua Shier simply packed up his things and moved to the factory. There was a bed in his office, so he could just stay there for a few days.

A few days later, Hua Shier's application to join the Party was approved. After taking an oath with several activists in the factory, he became a glorious Party member.

Zhang Xuejun, Men Saner, Dengzhao, and Liu Guangtian were transformed from temporary workers into regular employees. Xu Damao, relying on his third-class merit, defeated two competitors and became the acting deputy section chief. This guy was so happy that he invited Hua Shier and others to Donglaishun for another meal.

On the second day after the dinner party, Liu Haizhong found Hua Shier with a depressed look on his face and gave him two pounds of eggs.

Hua Twelve retreated quickly: "Second Master, no need, no need. Guang Tian was able to become a regular employee because of his own ability. Take the things back quickly, don't let anyone see me and think I want benefits!"

Liu Haizhong was silent for a long time and said, "Twelve, I want you to transfer Guangtian to our workshop. I want to pass on my blacksmithing skills to him. Do you think it's okay?"

Hua Shier was a little confused: "Second uncle, no one can get into our security department even if they want to. Guang Tian has already been promoted to a regular employee, and you want him to swing a sledgehammer in the workshop? Are you serious?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily: "This brat has grown wings. He dared to confront me at home and even snatched my eggs. I said he even looked at me in the eye. If you don't know, you would think that I, as the boss, can't control him. Bring him to me and see if I can control him!"

Hua Shier was speechless for a while. What kind of father is this? He had heard Liu Guangtian say that he would be beaten for eating an egg at home. He didn't believe it at first, but now he really believed it.

He advised, "Second uncle, you are still counting on Guangtian and his family to support you in your old age. If you do this, won't things get bad? It's unreasonable to ruin your own son's future. Don't be impulsive. I will pretend that I have never heard of this. Go back and think about it carefully. That deaf old lady is not a good-for-nothing, but there is a saying that goes, unkind parents lead to unfilial children. If you break up with Guangtian, will you count on Guangqi or Guangfu in the future?"

Liu Haizhong didn't say anything. After a while, he left.

Back in the office, Hua Twelve shook his head and laughed. What was going on?

At this time, the phone rang. When he picked up the phone, it was Cai Xuemin who called and told him the news that those who were pushed into the water by the deaf old lady would be put on a public trial and then taken out to eat peanuts. He was asked to go and see.

Hua Twelve asked in surprise: "Where is the deaf old lady?"

Cai Xuemin sighed: "The old lady is too old. During the physical examination, the doctor said that she will not live for many years. Some people above said that they want to withdraw humanitarian assistance and are considering whether to repatriate her."

Hua Shier sneered in his heart. He had already made up his mind. If the deaf old lady was really deported, he would kill her in advance and would never let the deaf old lady escape unscathed.
