Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Wang Weidong was not just perfunctory. Not long ago, Liu Changyi found a calligraphy and painting of Bada Shanren in the pigeon market, and he missed it.

The person who sold the painting was a young man. His family used to run a pawnshop. During the turbulent years before liberation, the pawnshop was raided by rioters and burned down by the rioters.

Fortunately, the young man's father had the foresight to hide the precious belongings purchased from the pawn shop in a secret place.

After liberation, young people could not find formal jobs because of their background problems, so they became green men on the streets. After spending the little savings at home, they turned their heads to those hidden goods.

It's just that the hidden goods are too hot to sell. If they are sold to ordinary trust stores, they will easily cause trouble, so the young man will secretly sell them in the pigeon market.

As the security section chief of Lanhua Automobile Factory, Liu Changyi's biggest disadvantage is that he is not from the capital and does not understand the situation in the capital.

So in order to make up for this shortcoming, he often took advantage of his off-duty time to ride his bicycle around the capital, and especially liked to go to places where there was a mixture of people.

The pigeon market was naturally a place he had to visit frequently. He bumped into this young man by chance and bought it for only 50 yuan.

After getting it, Liu Changyi found an antique appraiser and after confirming that the painting was authentic, he gave it to Wang Weidong as a gift.

Wang Weidong was a photographer in his previous life, a truck driver in his second life, and a cook in this life. He was not interested in such things as calligraphy and painting at all, so after getting the scroll, he put it in the box and never took it out again. .

Rather than letting such a precious painting collect dust in a box, it is better to take it out and give it to comrades who really like calligraphy and painting.

After Wang Weidong remembered the name Chen Xuanming in his heart, he rode his bicycle and walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as they reached the door of the courtyard, Yan Bugui jumped out from under the eaves and blocked the road.

"Master, wait a minute. I want to report to you the recent situation in our courtyard."

Wang Weidong put his feet on the ground, gently squeezed the brake pedal, and stopped the bicycle.

He felt that Yan Bugui was a little strange today.

In the past, in the courtyard house, although Yan Bugui did not say that he would not cooperate with Wang Weidong's work, he always regarded himself as a cultural person and never thought of reporting to Wang Weidong.

It's just that Wang Weidong can't turn a blind eye to people who are so positive.

After the bicycle stopped, he sat on the saddle and looked at Yan Bugui with a smile: "Third uncle, I can't tell you the report. We are all in charge. If you have anything, just say it."

Yan Bugui took a deep breath and said: "The thing is like this. I don't know where the rumors came from these days, saying that there is something wrong with my origin. You also know that Yu Qiuhua is the kind of woman with a long tongue, because I used to be in I taught her a lesson at work. After she learned the news, she went to Director Wang of the Street Office to report me. Fortunately, later, under the education of Liu Haizhong and I, Yu Qiuhua woke up in time and reported the incident to Director Wang of the Street Office. The reporting letter was withdrawn, so there were no serious consequences.”

After Wang Weidong listened, he immediately understood that this shrewd calculation was indeed too far-sighted. In order to avoid his own suspicion and track down these things, he actually reported it to himself in advance.

In fact, Wang Weidong had long known that Yan Bugui had problems with his background, but he had no intention of exposing him.

Although Yan Bugui often makes some small mistakes, his outlook on life is relatively normal among the stewards of the courtyard.

It would be a pity if he was removed from his position as the steward of the courtyard because of those things.

Wang Weidong nodded and said: "I know about this. I hope that when you manage the courtyard in the future, you will strengthen the ideological education of the residents to prevent similar things from happening again."

Seeing that Wang Weidong had no intention of going into details, Yan Bugui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, although Wang Weidong rarely appeared in the courtyard and never deliberately targeted him, Yan Bugui always had an inexplicable fear of Wang Weidong in his heart.

It was as if Wang Weidong could see through him every time he casually glanced at him.

Yan Bugui has never felt this way before.

Of course Wang Weidong didn't know what Yan Bugui was thinking. After chatting with Yan Bugui for a few words, he turned around and went to Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

Xu Damao was waiting in the room. When he saw Wang Weidong approaching, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Master, you are here. I have prepared all the food and am waiting for you."

"I wasted a little time on the way. Where is Jingru?"

Wang Weidong entered the room, looked around and saw no sign of Qin Jingru.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Qin Jingru came out of the house with her child in her arms.

"Director Liu, you are here." When she saw Wang Weidong, the corners of her eyes turned red instantly, and tears almost fell from her eyes. If Xu Damao hadn't been by her side at this moment, she would have really wanted to throw herself into Wang Weidong's arms.

Wang Weidong pretended not to see it, took out the box from his pocket, took out the longevity lock inside, and put it on his child himself.

Although Qin Jingru didn't know the value of the longevity lock, what Wang Weidong took out was definitely not a bargain.

She said coquettishly: "Everyone is here, why are you bringing gifts?"

"Hey, this is for children." Wang Weidong looked at the porcelain doll-like child and suddenly remembered something, "Have you caught the baby yet?"

"Caught. My father and his friends came over a while ago and held a Zhou Zhou arresting ceremony. This kid grabbed a pen as soon as he went up. He will definitely be a leader in the future." Xu Damao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Qin Jingru was tired of seeing him like that, so she rolled her eyes at him: "Master is here, please bring out the food quickly."

Xu Damao was scolded for a few words, but he didn't care about being angry. He walked into the room and brought out a few dishes.

White-cut chicken, braised pork, Dongpo pork elbow, peanuts, and stewed tofu. It has to be said that Xu Damao is cooking all the time at home recently. This guy's cooking skills have improved a lot. Even if he can't compare with Silly Zhu, he's almost there.

After Wang Weidong tasted a few bites of the food, Xu Damao couldn't wait to pour a glass of wine and handed it over, and reported what happened in the courtyard again.

Xu Damao has been busy with his children's affairs these days and has not paid much attention to the affairs of the courtyard. Wang Weidong has already heard about most of the things from Yan Bugui.

While eating vegetables, he listened to Xu Damao's chat.

At this time, Qin Jingru, who had been greeting the children, suddenly raised her head and said, "Master, I heard something in the cellar yesterday and thought I should tell you."

Seeing Wang Weidong raise his head, Qin Jingru continued: "Yesterday I went to the cellar to get vegetables and heard that Qin Jingru and He Qiuhua were conspiring to take away Yi Zhonghai's small yellow croaker!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Weidong stopped his chopsticks and frowned.

He was aware of the fact that Yi Zhonghai had the little yellow croaker. After dealing with Deputy Director Ma, he originally wanted to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

Later, I caught up with the release of mobile phones. I was really busy at that time, and this allowed Yi Zhonghai to relax for a while.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu and Yu Qiuhua had an idea for Yi Zhonghai before he took action.

When Xu Damao heard the news, he felt unbelievable at first. After waiting for a while, he seemed to think of something.

"Bang!" Pumping his fist on the table, Xu Damao said coldly: "The little yellow croaker in Yi Zhonghai's hand must have been obtained from the deaf old lady. When the deaf old lady was dying, she was sent to the hospital. Silly Zhu As the godson of a deaf old lady, he originally wanted to go to the hospital to stay with her, but was driven back by Yi Zhonghai and his aunt. At that time, people in the compound praised Yi Zhonghai and his aunt for being filial. Now that I think about it, he was staring at her. Got those gold bars from the deaf old lady.”

"The deaf old lady comes from a wealthy family. She must have hidden a lot of small yellow croakers, all of which were given to Yi Zhonghai. Now it would be a pity if Qin Huairu and Yu Qiuhua got hold of them."

When Xu Damao said this, a look of greed appeared on his face.

Before Lou Xiao'e left the capital, Xu Damao also took the opportunity to get several boxes of small yellow croakers from the Lou family. However, most of those small yellow croakers were deceived later because Xu Damao wanted to be a leader.

Now that Xu Damao heard that Yi Zhonghai had small yellow croakers, he naturally had evil thoughts.

Wang Weidong looked at Xu Damao's look and knew what he was thinking.

But in this way, it just suits my wish.

It just so happened that the Orchid Laboratory was researching minicomputers right now, and he was too busy to do so. It was perfect to have Xu Damao watching Qin Huairu and Yu Qiuhua in the courtyard.

Wang Weidong picked up a glass of wine and drank it down, then looked at Xu Damao calmly: "Da Mao, Yi Zhonghai has so many small yellow croakers in his possession, which is against the law, and Qin Huairu and Yu Qiuhua actually want to steal other people's small yellow croakers, which is even more illegal. It’s against the law, so I’ll leave this matter to you, what do you think?”

Xu Damao was thinking about how to get involved. When he heard this, he quickly stood up and promised: "Master, don't worry, as long as I, Xu Damao, are in the courtyard, these people won't cause any big trouble."

He was worried that he would not have a chance to intervene. Wang Weidong's current arrangement was like being dozed off and met with a pillow.

Xu Damao was so excited that he stood up and poured a glass of wine, then drank it all in one gulp: "Master, I'll drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect, you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Xu Damao like this, Qin Jingru rolled her eyes and said, "Da Mao, Aunt Ma has assigned you such an important task, how can you do it with just a glass of wine?"

"Yes, yes, I'm confused." Xu Damao said, poured another glass of wine, picked it up, and drank it again.

Then, with Qin Jingru's encouragement, Xu Damao drank one cup after another. Within a moment, he was so drunk that his vision went dark and he fell asleep on the table.

Qin Jingru stretched out her finger and poked Xu Damao's shoulder. After seeing that Xu Damao was completely asleep, she curled her lips and said, "Director Liu, I really want to divorce this guy."

"Don't worry. After this incident, maybe you won't have to worry about divorce." Wang Weidong picked up a chopstick and tasted it in small bites.

Although Qin Jingru didn't understand what Wang Weidong meant, she was full of trust in Wang Weidong and nodded seriously.

the other side.

Yu Qiuhua also took action at this time.

After discussing it with Qin Huairu, she couldn't wait any longer. However, Qin Huairu told her to be careful and not let anyone know about it, so she didn't dare to knock on Yi Zhonghai's door in broad daylight.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Yu Qiuhua quietly took He Wenyuan and He Wenda to knock on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Seeing Yu Qiuhua standing outside the door, Aunt Yi opened the door and frowned vaguely, her face suddenly turned cold.

Recently, the news about Yu Qiuhua's false accusation against Yan Bugui has spread throughout the courtyard. No one wants to associate with such a person who likes to report, and Yi Zhonghai's hands are not very clean.

"Yu Qiuhua, what are you doing here?" Aunt Yi said coldly.

Yu Qiuhua felt Aunt Yi's coldness, and her heart suddenly burst into anger, but she could only endure it for the sake of those little yellow croakers.

She forced out a smile; "Lao Yi's family, I'm here today because I have something big to discuss with you."

"Good thing? What good thing can you do to Yu Qiuhua?" Aunt Yi suddenly became vigilant when she heard this.

"Oh, you have to let me in first. What's the point of standing here?" Yu Qiuhua said coldly.

Aunt Yi thought she had bad intentions and wanted to stop her, but then Yi Zhonghai's voice came from behind.

"Honey, we have guests here. Please invite them in."

Yi Zhonghai was drinking tea in the main room at this time. He had already heard the movement at the door, but he didn't understand the purpose of Yu Qiuhua's visit, so he remained silent.

Now that he heard something good happened, he was tempted.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai is not afraid of Yu Qiuhua's mischief.

In the courtyard, he was the only one who played with others, and no one could play with him.

Aunt Yi could only get out of the way.

Yu Qiuhua entered the room, strode up to Yi Zhonghai, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yi, what a happy event."

Yi Zhonghai felt a little confused: "Yu Qiuhua, where does the joy come from this late at night?"

Yu Qiuhua pulled He Wenda out from behind, pointed at He Wenda and said, "Yi Zhonghai, I think you are quite destined to my He Wenda, how about letting He Wenda become your father?"

As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai became even more confused.

He and He Wenda never exchanged a few words in total. Those limited words were all used to scold He Wenda. Where did the fate come from?
Moreover, He Wenda is Yu Qiuhua's biological son.

Do you want to worship him as your godfather? Then take advantage of the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai thought he had understood Yu Qiuhua's conspiracy, waved his hand and said: "Yu Qiuhua, don't talk to me about this, I am not interested in taking in my adopted son now."

After experiencing what happened to Silly Zhu, Yi Zhonghai finally saw clearly that if his son was not raised by him, he would not be reliable at all.

At this time, Yu Qiuhua said calmly: "Uncle Yi, you misunderstood. I don't want Wenda to become your godfather, but I want to adopt him to you."

As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai was stunned.

"adopt?"

Of course he knew what adoption meant.

It's just that it's all between relatives.

In these days, some people do not have the honor ability, and if relatives have many children, they will choose one to adopt them.

An adopted son is just like a biological son.

This side is responsible for raising him, and he is also responsible for providing care for others until his death.

In the future, we will inherit the incense here and pass it on.
