Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 246 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality
It's the end of the year, and everyone is busy with the New Year. Except for some old drinkers nearby, there are many fewer customers in the tavern.

At this time, Xiao Li'er was being held by the foreign girl Elena, and was being kissed again and again.

Xiao Li'er's face was wrinkled and she looked at her father for help.

Xu Deyong shrugged and looked helpless.

It was Chen Xueru who "rescued" little Li'er, hugged her and said, "Hey, Huizhen, how did your family raise Li'er? He looks more and more beautiful. Our little Kui looks even more beautiful as he grows older."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "It's all Deyong who takes care of me. When Deyong is around, Li'er doesn't come to me much."

Elena said with a foreign accent: "Manager Huizhen, you are showing off your manliness again. Let us admit that you have found a good man."

Mr. Niu said with a smile: "Hey, Davari knows about me now."

Elena said proudly: "That's not true, I am now half a capital citizen."

Chen Xueru pinched Xiao Li'er's little face and said, "My daughter is still lovely, but my son is so naughty. Sometimes he gets so angry that he gets a stomachache."

Xiao Li'er glanced at him, turned her head and bumped Chen Xueru's chest without screaming.

With that said, he put down Xiao Li'er.

Fan Jinyou carelessly sat down at the table with Chen Xueru and Elena, his eyes passing over the two women.

"How is it?" Cai Quanwu couldn't help but ask.

Xu Huizhen said: "Naughty people are more willing to have a son. I will definitely be able to give birth to a son this time."

"Hey." Mr. Niu said, "You kid, don't be convinced. How come you're on a blind date with someone dressed like a dog?"

Qiangzi nodded and said: "Nothing can escape the eyes of your Lord Niu."

Xiao Li'er tilted her little head, walked toward Xu Deyong with a thump, and called "Dad."

Fan Jinyou joked: "Hey, Wobo, I'm here to pick up your little wife again!"

Mr. Niu chuckled and said, "No way, I think about this every day. If you don't drink it, you won't be able to sleep well at night."

At this time, Cai Quanwu walked in.

Everyone laughed a little and didn't comment. No one picked up his words.

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said: "This formalism is not what you, Clerk Fan, say. Firstly, you are no longer from our tavern, and secondly, you are not our superior and cannot control us."

Fan Jinyou looked a little envious for no reason, but of course he wasn't envious of "calling him daddy".

The man is no longer lighting the fire in the kitchen. He is still a waiter. Why does this bitch still look down on me?
Hey, you are really a snobbery. With your reputation, men would still look down upon you if you were reinstated as a cadre.

Hearing this, Qiangzi shook his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, the new person is better than the old person. My old person is no longer in the eyes of you, the public manager."

Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "No, I won't drink until we have a meeting."

At this time, Fan Jinyou came in with a shrug and rubbed his hands: "Hey, we are all regular customers. Mr. Niu, you are here every day!"

Qiangzi was on the side wearing black clothes and a small hat. He looked like a human and said: "Quan Wu, come over and have a drink together."

"Yes, it's hard to buy what you're happy with," Fan Jinyou said, asking for two taels of wine.

Xiao Li'er raised his head and glanced at Chen Xueru, his eyes seemed a little confused, "Why are you smiling when you bump into daddy?"
So she rubbed her forehead against the bulging grandma in front of her.

Qiangzi smiled and said: "It looks like it will work. As for whether it will work, I still have to inquire and get in touch."

Fan Jinyou narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, I was once a member of our tavern, so I just said it casually and you guys took it seriously!"

Mr. Niu raised his eyelids and said: "If you want to win the eyes of others, you have to live up to your own expectations, not look at other people's eyes."

Chen Xueru frowned slightly and said, "Little girl, please slow down."

Chen Xueru blushed and said, "You little one, go find your father."

Elena smiled and said: "Isn't it sexy like this?"

Then he looked at Xiao Li'er and said, "Li'er, call me uncle."

Xu Deyong looked at Chen Xueru and smiled, earning a glare in return.

Seeing Elena wearing thin and slim-fitting clothes in the cold weather, she said, "Elena, aren't you cold in wearing so little?"

The film master also nodded and said: "No, without this sip, the wine bug in the stomach will not be stable."

While everyone was chatting, Vladimir walked in.

Although he was already the public manager, Cai Quanwu was not annoyed when someone called him "Wobo" in person. He smiled lightly and said, "Our bistro will have a year-end summary meeting later."

Qiangzi grinned and said, "You are Mr. Niu. You are right. I can't speak to you."

Elena spread her hands and said, "I'm happy to do that. What's the matter?"

Forget it, we can’t hang ourselves from this tree, let’s let people take care of it first!
Xu Deyong picked up Xiao Li'er and put him on his lap. The little guy swayed his little feet happily and looked at everyone with his eyes. When the little guy reaches the age of learning, he will imitate interesting movements when he sees them.

Fan Jinyou curled his lips slightly and said: "Sexy reply to you Dasu, we don't like this."

Chen Xueru said with a half-smile, "That's impossible to say. You can't guarantee my daughter's life."

He murmured in his heart: Made, why is this girl Chen Xueru looking more and more beautiful!

"Bah, bah, bah..." Xu Huizhen said angrily: "That's nonsense. If I keep saying that, I'll break up with you!"

"Hey, you guys are just having a meeting, you don't need such formalism!" Fan Jinyou said in a pretentious manner.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru stood up and said, "Oh, Vladimir, what are you doing? We have been waiting for you for more than an hour. Come on, we have already made an appointment to talk to someone."

Vladimir shrugged and said, "Don't you wait until I have a drink before leaving?"

"What else are you drinking? Let's wait another day." Chen Xueru said, waving to Master Pian and saying, "Master Pian, let's go."

The film master narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you still need me to go?"

Chen Xueru said angrily: "You are the public manager, you have to be a witness, be smart and don't make any ink marks!"

"Okay, wait a minute." The film master picked up the small wine cup and said, "I took a sip of this."

Several people said goodbye and left.

Later, Zhao Yali, Kong Yuqin, and Ma Liansheng also came in one after another.

Mr. Niu smiled drunkenly and said, "Okay, you are all here. It seems it's time for me to leave."

Fan Jinyou drank the wine in his glass and said, "No, there's nothing going on without us. Master Niu, let's go."

Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "Master Niu, if you finish your drink, it won't be too late for us to have another meeting."

Mr. Niu smiled and said, "Can I drink it as long as I want?"

Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "You can drink until dawn and we'll wait."

"The situation is bad." Mr. Niu nodded and said, "Give me face like this, I'm satisfied with this."

After drinking, he got up and left.

"Master Niu, walk slowly."

"Master Niu is done drinking."

With that said, Mr. Niu and Fan Jinyou opened the door and left.

"Ha..." Xiao Li'er yawned.

Xu Deyong picked up Xiao Li'er and said, "I'm going back too. You can have a meeting."

Cai Quanwu said: "Deyong, you can be counted as half of us in the tavern. Let's stay together and listen."

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I don't have to do that."

Then he turned and left.

"Mom." Xiao Li'er lay on Xu Deyong's shoulder and waved her little hand to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Hey, Li'er and dad will go back first, and mom will go back in a while." Everyone left, Cai Quanwu closed the door of the tavern, and everyone sat down.

There are currently six employees in the tavern, who are responsible for the business of the tavern and the canteen. With the help of Xu Deyong, a non-staff member, the manpower is quite sufficient.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "This meeting is just for one thing. It's the end of the year. I asked Accountant Zhao to do some accounting. Our bistro is in the canteen next door. We have 40 yuan as a subsidy for living difficulties. "

"Let's discuss how to distribute the money."

Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

Cai Quanwu said indifferently: "Let me tell you a plan. If the family is in difficulty, no one is more difficult than Sister Zhao. There are eight children in the family, some old and some young. Each person's monthly living expenses are less than five yuan."

When Zhao Yali saw that she was talking about herself, she showed a little embarrassed smile.

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, no one spoke for a while, but no, only Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng didn't know about this.

Kong Yuqin blinked, looked at Ma Liansheng, and couldn't help but said: "Manager Cai, what do you mean by this? Do you want to give all the money to Accountant Zhao?"

Cai Quanwu said: "Most of them."

Ma Liansheng also said: "I don't agree, I'm not rich either!"

Kong Yuqin raised his head and said: "Master Ma, this is not a question of whether you are rich or not. Except for Manager Xu, no one in our family is rich."

"I think the most important thing about this subsidy is to reflect the government's concern for our people and focus on fairness. What do you think?"

Ma Liansheng nodded and said, "I think so too."

He Yumei rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't we just listen to Sister Huizhen? Sister Huizhen will definitely not participate in this subsidy."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said: "I will not participate in this subsidy, but do you really listen to me?"

Since the public manager could no longer be fought for and could only fight for the private manager, Ma Liansheng and Kong Yuqin both nodded and looked at her expectantly.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "I think what Manager Cai said makes sense. The subsidy should play its role as a subsidy and take care of the key points while taking care of the general."

Ma Liansheng and Kong Yuqin forced a smile. The public manager and the private manager had the same opinion, and it was useless for them to say anything.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Huizhen said: "Since everyone has no objections, then the matter is settled and the meeting is dismissed."

Xu Huizhen returned home slowly.

Cai Quanwu locked the door of the tavern and He Yumei returned home.

After Zhao Yali left, the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed. Her pace quickened. She wanted to go home quickly and tell her family the good news. She would finally have a decent year this year!
Ma Liansheng and Kong Yuqin were not happy. According to the subsidy method, each of them could only get two or three yuan. In comparison, they felt unbalanced.

When the two came together, Kong Yuqin couldn't help complaining: "They must have discussed this matter in advance. We are the only ones who are kept in the dark. Is it so important?"

Ma Liansheng sighed and said, "Let's admit it. Xu Huizhen didn't participate in the distribution. Cai Quanwu was the one who proposed it. Zhao Yali is the beneficiary. He Yumei and Cai Quanwu are a family. They are all selfless. We don't do anything." occupy."

Kong Yuqin said angrily: "You recognize me or not, I just can't swallow this breath, why?"

"Yes, why!" A voice sounded from behind them.

The two of them were startled and turned to look.

"Fan Jinyou?" Kong Yuqin suppressed her heart palpitations and said angrily: "Why are you following us?"

Fan Jinyou squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "I secretly overheard all the meetings you had outside. That Wobo was just a listener. It was Xu Huizhen who said everything. I would definitely not agree when I was here." "

Ma Liansheng said: "What should I do if I don't agree? Besides, you are no longer an employee of the tavern!"

Fan Jinyou said: "That is to say, although I am not an employee of the tavern, the tavern belongs to the street and is managed by the neighborhood committee. I am the clerk of the neighborhood committee, so I can speak more or less."

Kong Yuqin's heart moved: "Fan Jinyou, what do you mean by this? Do you want to take care of this matter?"

Fan Jinyou smiled and said: "It's a bit flattering to say that I don't care about you, but I still have the ability to play the drums. It depends on whether you dare to come forward."

Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng looked at each other and said, "Okay, we'll go talk to the director tomorrow afternoon and see how you play the drums."

……

In the evening, Xu Deyong and his wife soaked their feet.

"Did the meeting go smoothly tonight?" Xu Deyong asked.

Xu Huizhen nodded and said: "It went well!"

Xu Deyong rubbed her white feet with his big feet and said, "I'm afraid some people may think it's unfair."

Xu Huizhen snorted: "You mean Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng? Don't worry, they can't make any waves."

Xu Deyong said: "Aren't you afraid that they will sue you to the neighborhood committee and the street?"

Xu Huizhen smiled a little proudly and said, "Don't be afraid. In fact, I have already told the director about this."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Hey, my wife is really smart!"

"Fuck you, go to sleep."

……

The next day, Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng were a little absent-minded in their work. They packed up and left after the canteen was busy at noon.

The two of them walked all the way to the neighborhood committee and met Fan Jinyou at the door. Like a joint, they nodded to each other and entered.

When things came to a close, Ma Liansheng seemed to want to back down, but Kong Yuqin didn't care so much and said, "Mother Director."

The director's wife asked with a smile: "Xiao Kong, Lao Ma, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Liansheng hesitated and said nothing.

Kong Yuqin glared at him and could only say: "Madam Director, we have something to tell you, and you can comment on it for us."

"Oh, what are you talking about?" the director said with a serious expression.

Kong Yuqin said: "Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu are acting unfairly. They work together..."

She finished everything.

Fan Jinyou frowned and said pretentiously: "The way Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu handled this matter is indeed a bit unfair and does not reflect the fairness of our communism."

The director's wife looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Fan Jinyou, aren't you the one who started this matter again?"

Fan Jinyou coughed quickly and said, "Madam Director, you have wronged me. Didn't I just hear about this!"

"Humph." The director's wife said, "There is no best. I know what you are talking about."

"Ah, you know!" Fan Jin and several others were dumbfounded.

The director aunt educated them: "Fairness is naturally important, but if you want to be prosperous together, you must take care of the key points. It's not like you don't know the situation of Zhao Yali's family, why don't you even have this awareness? If you are still not satisfied, you can go find Director Li from the subdistrict said, “I’m here to support Xu Huizhen’s distribution.”

Kong Yuqin and Ma Liansheng immediately remained silent.

Fan Jinyou immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "The director's consciousness is still high, and it is worth learning from us."

The director's wife said: "Fan Jin has to learn a lesson from you. Do your job well and don't let me wait for a few days and cause trouble for me again."

Fan Jinyou twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No way, I work hard and I even take literacy classes for free."

The director's wife waved her hand and said: "Okay, go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

The three of them left the neighborhood committee in despair.

Ma Liansheng clapped his hands and said, "Let me tell you, we can't beat Xu Huizhen. You insist on coming. Now that you haven't eaten the mutton, you're still making a fuss."

Kong Yuqin said angrily: "Come on, don't be an afterthought. I can see that you two men are not as good as a woman like me."

After saying that, he left angrily.

Fan Jinyou touched his nose and looked at Ma Liansheng, then walked away silently.

In the backyard of the tavern, Xu Deyong also welcomed several guests.
