Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 576 Gifts
Yi Zhonghai likes to make trouble, Qin Huairu is a vampire, and Sha Zhu is a bastard.

These three people really shouldn't have appeared at the wedding banquet.

but.

Xu Damao is indispensable.

Xu Damao appeared as a villain in the original work, and was considered to have done all kinds of bad things, but he was good to the residents of the compound.

Never had any conflicts with neighbors.

Of course, Shazhu doesn't count, because the two of them are natural rivals.

"Come on, let's go find Xu Damao and his wife."

The third mother couldn't let go of the opportunity to squeeze Xu Damao's wool, so she took Yan Jiecheng and knocked on the door of Xu Damao's house.

"Jingru, did you see it? Just now the chicken coop built by the Huang family in the middle courtyard was knocked down, and the old Huang's family stood there and didn't dare to say a word!"

Xu Damao just came back from the Intermediate Court and was showing off his great achievements to Qin Jingru.

"Da Mao, you are the best now!" Qin Jingru said compliments, but she looked down on Xu Damao in her heart.

If it wasn't for Wang Weidong being behind her, the fat woman in the old Huang's family would be able to beat you twice by herself.

"That's right, I, Xu Damao, now have a slightly lower status in the courtyard than the steward." Xu Damao smiled even more when he heard the compliment.

He paused, took a sip of water, and was about to continue talking when he suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, is Director Liu very busy recently?"

Hearing this, Qin Jingru froze for a moment, lightly brushed her hair, picked up the soles of her shoes and began to embroider, pretending to be nonchalant, "How would I know? I'm in the broadcasting room of the rolling mill every day, and I didn't go to past the car factory."

Qin Jingru actually had a tryst with Wang Weidong in a small house next to the automobile factory every now and then. Just this morning, she even met Wang Weidong!
But, can Xu Damao know about this kind of thing?

Qin Jingru was actually superstitious, and Xu Damao, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice her expression at all, and only said with a little regret.

"It would be great if Director Liu came back today, so I can report to him the work achievements during this period."

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao's serious face, and she couldn't help being curious. As a woman who had lived with Xu Damao for more than ten years, she knew very well that Xu Damao was the kind of person who didn't want to get ahead.On weekdays, even if the factory leader wants him to work overtime, he will push back and forth.

Why did Wang Weidong let him be a small steward, a position that is not even a formal official position, how could Xu Damao be so interested in it!

These days, Qin Jingru has seen with his own eyes how much Xu Damao has paid to solve the disputes between the neighbors and to clean the compound. Sometimes Xu Damao dreams when he sleeps, and what he talks in his sleep is educating the residents to put the overall situation first, and not to rush quarrel.

It is not a simple matter to manage a compound well, not only does it take hard work, but sometimes it offends people.

When Qin Jingru expressed his doubts, Xu Damao smiled awkwardly: "You, I don't understand!"

"I don't understand, I'm asking you for advice." Qin Jingru said.

Xu Damao let out a long sigh, stood up and looked through the window at the big tree outside the window.

"Do you know? When I was young, I was often bullied by Shazhu and the others because of my small stature. Every time I was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face. When I returned home crying, I cried to my father."

"My father told me that if you don't want to be beaten or bullied, you should become a leader. If you become a leader, you can manage others, and others will respect you."

"Since then, when other children dreamed of wearing new clothes for the Spring Festival, my dream has become to be a leader."

"Unfortunately, I really don't have any luck as a leader."

"You also know that my first wife was Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of Lou Bancheng, the director of the rolling mill. To tell you the truth, when I married Lou Xiao'e, I actually wanted to use the power of the Lou family to become a director of the rolling mill. Little leader."

"There is really no problem with this path. After I married Lou Xiao'e, I quickly gained the attention of the Publicity Section. The section chief praised me by name several times in a row. It is foreseeable that in the near future, I will become the first employee in the Publicity Section. Substitute officer."

"It's a pity that the wind changed suddenly, and Lou Bancheng was pushed out of the management team. As Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, I was beaten back to my original shape. Later, Lou Xiao'e and Lou Bancheng fled the capital, and I was naturally implicated. If I can sit on the bench, even if there is a job to go to the countryside to show a movie, Corey will assign it to a novice whose skills are not as good as mine because he is worried about me."

"As for the later things, you also know that in order to become a leader and be able to manage people, I have paid too much, but every time I am a little bit worse."

"Now that Director Liu is here, he didn't ask for anything from me. He directly entrusted me with the position of the small steward, and asked me to manage such a large yard with more than 200 people! To tell you the truth, after becoming a small steward, I I feel that the first half of my life was wasted, and now I have found the true meaning of life."

Seeing Xu Damao's crazy expression, Qin Jingru marveled that power can have such a great charm on a man.

But this is a good thing for her. Ever since Xu Damao became obsessed with taking care of things, he has lessened his attention on her.

The two were chatting when there was a quick knock on the door outside.

The third mother told Xu Damao about the gift money of six yuan. Seeing that Xu Damao was not very enthusiastic, she quickly added: "Da Mao, you are a small steward now, and you definitely need my old Yan's support in your work."

Seeing Xu Damao's face turn red gradually, Qin Jingru was really afraid that Xu Damao would slap Third Mama.

After all, in the courtyard now, apart from Wang Weidong and Xu Damao, there is no one who can look up to him.

The words of the three mothers are actually tantamount to looking down on Xu Damao's ability to work.

Qin Jingru was about to go up to smooth things over, but saw that Xu Damao actually endured it, and smiled at the third mother: "Don't worry, third mother, I will definitely satisfy your family."

"Heh, you're still sensible, Damao, so you won't have to waste your time talking." The third mom thought Xu Damao had relented, and took Yan Jiecheng away.

Looking at the backs of the two, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Xu Damao's mouth.

Qin Jingru didn't know why, and asked, "Da Mao, you don't really give the Yan family six yuan as gift money, do you? When we got married, Yan Pugui didn't even give out a dime, but only brought two radishes .”

"Hahaha." Xu Damao laughed for a while, laughing so that Qin Jingru felt a little timid, and suddenly said with a serious expression: "Jingru, you cook a table of delicious dishes, I will call and invite Director Liu back."

"Director Liu?" Qin Jingru didn't know why.

"Heh, Yan Bugui dared to use the banquet as an excuse to collect money. This matter must be handled by the uncle himself."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, humming a little song with his hands behind his back, he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

Telephones are a rarity in this day and age. Ordinary people don't have them at home. If residents want to make calls, they can only borrow them from supply and marketing cooperatives.

After handing over 2 cents to the lady in charge of the phone, Xu Damao took out a note from his pocket, and the note was Wang Weidong's phone number.

The phone number was not given to Xu Damao by Wang Weidong, but he found it out through his relationship. It was originally just to prevent accidents, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Wang Weidong was about to get off work when he received the call. When he heard Xu Damao's voice on the phone, he was slightly taken aback.

"Comrade Da Mao, you are calling"

"Grandpa, something serious happened in our courtyard, and I think it should be reported to you."

Xu Damao told the story of Yan Bugui's six-dollar gift on the phone, and Wang Weidong felt a sigh of relief after hearing it.

Not peeping and savvy, he even thought of threatening the children to go to school to manipulate the residents.

Talent, indeed, is a talent.

It's just that Wang Weidong certainly can't let Yan Bugui run amok in the courtyard.

"Comrade Da Mao, I am very relieved that you were able to detect Yan Bugui's conspiracy in time. Don't worry, I will deal with this matter. Also, after you return to the courtyard, immediately notify all residents, and at night in the middle courtyard Have a meeting."

"Understood, please rest assured, I will promise to complete the task."

Xu Damao put down the phone, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.Wang Weidong's praise made him feel that his spirit had been purified.

He, Xu Damao, is now an upright person, no longer the insidious villain who was looked down upon before.

Everything he did was for the good of the compound!
The glorious sense of mission filled Xu Damao with strength. After running back to the courtyard in one breath, he didn't even bother to drink tea, so he picked up the broken gong and beat it in the courtyard.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three gongs sounded, shattering the silence of the courtyard.

The residents were preparing to cook, and poked their heads out of the house.

Xu Damao shouted loudly: "Everyone is paying attention, and we will hold a meeting in the middle courtyard in the evening."

The residents were all slightly taken aback.

"A meeting? Ever since Director Liu became a grandpa, our compound rarely holds meetings. What happened today?"

"I don't know, the uncle is busy with the car factory now, and rarely returns to the courtyard. Is Xu Damao planning to hold a meeting by himself?"

"Impossible. Although Xu Damao is arrogant, he still has this self-knowledge. If he is not a master, there is no way to hold a meeting."

Easy home.

Yi Zhonghai was eating an egg, when he heard Xu Damao's cry, he was in a trance, and the egg got stuck in his throat.

'Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Unable to spit it out, unable to swallow it, Yi Zhonghai blushed and his neck was twisted, his hands began to tear at the neckline non-stop.

Fortunately, the first mother heard the movement in the kitchen, and seeing that the situation was not good, she punched Yi Zhonghai hard in the stomach.

The eggs just spit out.

The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai's distressed appearance, and rolled her eyes: "Old Yi, you are half-buried in loess, how could you be stuck in an egg!"

Yi Zhonghai clutched his chest and panted heavily, it was dangerous, if the big mom didn't make a move in time, he might burp.

"It's not because of that kid Liu Hongchang."

Thinking of the shouts outside, the first mother came to understand a little bit, and asked with a smile: "Will you go to the conference that night?"

"Why don't you go! I want to see what Liu Hongchang wants to do!"

Qin Huai Ru family.

Bang Geng finished his work for another day, and was eating Qin Huairu's meticulously cooked meals, when he heard Xu Damao's shout, he suddenly felt bad.

Huang Yanling was pried away by Wang Weidong. Ever since Banggen was released from prison, Wang Weidong was busy with the car factory and rarely returned to the courtyard.

Thinking of meeting the 'rival in love' tonight, sticks out of anger.

Qin Huairu saw that Bang Geng's face was ugly, and thought that Bang Geng was tired from work.

"Great, you should take a good rest after eating."

"No, I have to go to the conference later." BangGou's face was cold.

Qin Huairu frowned: "The meeting has nothing to do with us."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the stick: "I'll go as soon as I say, what are you talking so much about! Why don't you hurry up and put away the dishes."

Ever since Bang Geng started working, he thought he could earn money, but his temper became worse day by day, and he often yelled at Qin Huairu at home.

Although Qin Huairu didn't want to, BangGong was her son after all, the heir of the Jia family, what could she do?

Qin Huairu could only lower her head and silently put away the dishes.She thought to herself that when Stickong got married and had a daughter-in-law, she would be free.

Yan family.

Yan Bugui, who was counting the gift money, frowned when he learned that Wang Weidong was going to hold a meeting tonight, and put down his brush.

"What's the matter, old man?"

"Things seem to be wrong. Wang Weidong hasn't been in the courtyard for a long time. Why is there a meeting suddenly?"

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat, and he felt even worse.

"Wang Weidong is the first master. You are the third master. Also, Liu Haizhong has agreed to form an alliance with you. If you two join forces, can't you deal with Wang Weidong?" The third mother smiled disdainfully: "I see, Wang Weidong It was because he hadn't shown up for a long time, and he was afraid that the residents in the compound would have opinions on him, so he held a meeting to appease the residents' grievances."

"Yes, I think so too." A cold smile appeared on Yan Bugui's face: "However, he must have made a wrong idea. When the conference is held, I will let him taste mine. Powerful. How could his cousin dare to reject our Yan family's kindness!"

In the afternoon, the three mothers went to see Guan Tingting and wanted Guan Tingting to pay six yuan as a gift.

Six yuan is nothing to Guan Tingting, but Wang Weidong once told her not to mix with people in the courtyard.

Guan Tingting has always listened to Wang Weidong's words, so she rejected the three mothers at that time.

The third mom saw that it was getting late, so she stood up and said, "Old man, do the math first, I'll cook."

Yan Bugui felt excited when he thought of being able to join forces with Liu Haizhong to deal with Wang Weidong at night, and said angrily: "Old woman, add half a spoonful of stick noodles to the stick noodle porridge at night, we may have a tough battle later, we have to eat enough full."

"Okay, okay." The third mother nodded and walked into the kitchen.

When Yan Jiecheng came back from get off work, he saw that Yan Bugui was still settling accounts, so he leaned over curiously and asked, "Father, how much gift money did we collect?"

"Well, it's about 50 yuan." Yan Bugui said expressionlessly.

"What, only 50 yuan? I remember that the money I handed over to you with my own hands was 40 yuan, and my mother took so much." Yan Xiecheng didn't believe it.

"You child, I'm your father, how can I lie to you!" Yan Bugui pretended to be angry, stood up, and slammed the table.

"No. I just think it's too little."

When Yan Jiecheng saw Yan Bugui lose his temper, he was too frightened to speak.
