Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 63 The third uncle asks for help

"Hey, are you three eating?"

Hearing the voice, the uncle and nephew stopped talking and turned to look at the door, where the third uncle Yan Bugui walked in with wine in hand and a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Seeing that the three uncles had entered the room, Shazhu had no choice but to say: "Have you eaten? Third uncle? If you haven't eaten, I'll deal with you here."

When the third uncle heard this, he glanced at the table and saw that there was chicken and meat. He immediately said to He Yuanchao with a beaming smile, "Isn't this a coincidence? I was just looking for you two to have a drink."

As he said that, he found a stool to sit at the dining table and put the wine he brought on the table.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu had no choice but to ask He Yuyu to go to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

When He Yuyu, who looked reluctant, took back the bowls and chopsticks, Shazhu had already poured wine for the third uncle, and Yan Bugui was holding the wine glass and hanging his schoolbags with his uncle and nephew.

Seeing this, He Yuyu curled his lips and placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of the third uncle.He sat at the dining table and concentrated on the food on the table.

Seeing this scene, the third uncle could only feel anxious secretly in his heart. He still had important things to do with He Yuanchao. He couldn't forget the purpose of coming here just because of a few bites of food.

After drinking a few sips of wine with He Yuanchao and Shazhu, the third uncle, who felt good about himself, picked up his glass and told He Yuanchao about his eldest son Yan Jiecheng.

"Daliang, the eldest son of my family, Jie Cheng, is already [-] years old this year and has been unemployed at home for several years. My family's conditions are not good to begin with, and Jie Cheng is still unemployed, which makes me and your sister-in-law very worried. We had no other options before. Now that you have become a cadre of the steel rolling mill, you are a respectable person. I wonder if you can help me solve the problem?"

When he saw the third uncle carrying wine into the house, He Yuanchao guessed that something must be wrong with Yan Bugui.

But this person who talks nonsense dares to come and make demands. He Yuanchao really wants to ask what Yan Bugui relies on?
Liu Haizhong is like this, and Yan Bugui is still like this. Do they really think that we, Lao He, have to give them this face based on just a few years of neighborly friendship?
Thinking of this, He Yuanchao took a sip of wine without missing a beat, put down the glass and said seriously: "Brother Yan, I just came back and the heads in the factory haven't been cooked yet. I really can't do anything about this matter."

Yan Bugui, who was full of expectations, heard what He Yuanchao said and quickly said: "Daliang, I know it's not easy to do things these days. How about you look at it like this? You'll have to pay for it first, and we'll get it done later." Once it's done, Brother Yan will never lose you." After saying that, he stared at He Yuanchao eagerly.

Lao He's eyes were opened today. The third uncle's calculation skills were perfected. No matter whether things were successful or not, he didn't lose anything.

Silly Zhu, who was drinking next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.He spoke sarcastically: "Third uncle, I finally understand. With you, you are coming with nothing."

When the third uncle heard this, he quickly waved his hands and explained awkwardly: "No, how can this be possible? Isn't it because my conditions are difficult? I can't raise the money for a while. If it succeeds, I feel that I can't lose your uncle." .”

After hearing this, Silly Zhu was about to say something more to the third uncle, but before he could say anything, he heard He Yuanchao say: "Brother Yan, this is not a matter of money, it's that I really don't have the ability. "

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass and said to the third uncle, "Brother Yan, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue drinking." As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuanchao started drinking.

The third uncle, who originally wanted to say some flattering words to persuade He Yuanchao to help, saw that He Yuanchao refused so simply, could only sigh in his heart, picked up the wine glass and took a sip with He Yuanchao.

Since the matter can't be done, we can't keep silent.After putting down the wine glass, the third uncle picked up his chopsticks and ran towards the meat and vegetables on the table with great force.

After the meal was finished, he looked at the third uncle who stood up unsteadily and walked out while saying thank you.He Yuanchao said quickly: "Brother Yan, something was left on the table."

When the third uncle heard this, he stopped and turned to look at the bottle of wine he brought on the table.After thinking about it, he came back and said a few polite words to He Yuanchao, then picked up the wine on the table and left Silly Zhu's house.

After the third uncle left, He Yuyu said unhappily to his second uncle and Shazhu: "Who are these third uncles? They just came to our house to eat for free."

After hearing this, Silly Zhu also said angrily to He Yuanchao: "Second uncle, look at this Yan Laoji, what kind of thing is he doing? After hearing the two people's complaints, He Yuanchao said with a smile: " The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. "After that, I stood up and started to clear the table.

When He Yuyu saw it, he quickly grabbed his second uncle and said, "You can still do this little work, so you should rest quickly." After that, he quickly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the kitchen.

When He Yuanchao saw this, he sat down again, took out his cigarette and lit it, and talked about Yu Li with Sha Zhu.

The third uncle was carrying a drink and wandering to the front yard with a grimace, when he met the first uncle who was returning from a walk.

Seeing the third uncle smelling of alcohol and looking unhappy, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

The third uncle didn't hide anything when he saw Yi Zhonghai's inquiry, and told him how he asked He Yuanchao to find a job for Yan Jiecheng but was rejected.

Yi Zhonghai sighed after hearing this, and then spoke words of comfort to Yan Bugui.

The two stood in the front yard and talked for a while before the third uncle wandered back home.

Seeing Yan Bugui return to the house, Yi Zhonghai strolled home.

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, the uncle stared at Shazhu's house for a while before returning to the house.

He Yuanchao changed his job and returned to the factory to become a cadre. Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to try it to see if he could figure it out, but when he learned a few things that He Yuanchao did when he returned to the factory, he immediately gave up the idea.

Normally, He Yuanchao looks kind-hearted, but when he takes action, he realizes that he is a smiling, ruthless person.

Although he doesn't care much as an eighth-level worker, he should try not to provoke him if he can.Yi Zhonghai sat on the chair, thinking silently in his mind.

In the front yard of the third uncle's house, the third aunt was eagerly waiting for news. As soon as she saw Yan Bugui entering the house, she immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously: "How are you, head of the house? Has He Daliang agreed to help?"

The third uncle put the wine on the table and said impatiently: "I promised to help, can I still bring the wine back?"

After saying that, she stopped talking to the third aunt, sat on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes and leaned on the bed.

After hearing this, the third aunt started to complain about He Daliang with a disappointed look on her face.

The third uncle, who was upset, became angry after hearing his mother-in-law's endless nagging. He yelled: "Okay, stop nagging. Although the matter didn't get done, we didn't lose anything. On the contrary, I also made a lot of delicious food.

After saying that, he sent the third aunt to get water for him to wash his feet.

The third aunt glanced at the unhappy third uncle, did not dare to say anything else, and left the room silently.

After He Yuanchao explained Yu Li's matter to Shazhu.When I saw that the time was almost 08:30 in the evening, I rejected the silly brother and sister's attempts to stay and rode home.

Early the next morning, as soon as he arrived at the factory gate on his bike, He Yuanchao was stopped by Li Jiefang who came out of the security room at the gate.
