A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 283: Dead chessboard alive

The second uncle's mood was very complicated at this moment.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.

But for some reason, I felt too heavy to be happy.

He had some doubts about whether he had said the wrong thing when he asked Li what he wanted to ask for.

Otherwise, why would this be the result now?

Not wanting to socialize too much with the people who came around to congratulate him, he put off the celebration for the time being and rushed home as soon as he got off work.

He wanted to find Li Xiang to ask clearly, why?

What to do with their third child?

If the second uncle was asked to choose now, he would rather not be the squad leader, but would rather solve the work problems for Liu Guangfu.

He said that he wanted to ask clearly, but the second uncle did not dare to question him.

When I got home, I asked my second aunt to prepare a table of delicious food, and then sent Liu Guangfu out to buy cold dishes and wine.

Then he waited at the door for Li Xiang to get off work.

During this period, Li's mother came back, and he greeted her in advance, saying that their family would treat Li Xiang to dinner today, so that she wouldn't have to cook for him when she got home.

Mother Li also heard about the second uncle's promotion, and she thought it was just to thank Li Xiang.

So there was no decision to decline for him.

The second uncle waited and waited. After hearing the familiar movement of the bicycle, his eyes lit up.

The whole person stood up from the bench and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

As soon as Li Xiang entered the courtyard, he was blocked by the second uncle.

Before the second uncle could speak, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll see you after dinner."

"You'll eat at my place today. Your second aunt has prepared it at home. I've already said hello to your mother's place."

The second uncle said that he was going to help Li Xiang push the cart.

How could he not be in a hurry? The second uncle wanted to know the reason now.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiang knew that if he didn't solve his doubts as soon as possible, he might not even be able to enjoy today's dinner.

He said it sooner or later, so he didn't refuse and allowed the second uncle to park his bicycle in front of his house.

As for the Liu family, everything is ready as the second uncle said.

The dishes were all on the table, the drinks were filled, the bowls and chopsticks were arranged, and only the guest Li Xiang was seated.

For this hasty dinner invitation, the Liu family had done their best.

There are six dishes, two meat and four vegetarian dishes. Although the vegetarian dishes are common at home, they seem a bit perfunctory at first glance, but roast chicken and braised beef are already rare.

In the eyes of others, it is considered sincere.

As soon as Li Xiang sat down, the second uncle and his two children took turns toasting him.

Once the toast is over, the rest of the conversation will be easy to talk about.

"Li Xiang, is there something wrong with what the second uncle said at that time, which made you misunderstand? Why is it that I was promoted and there is no movement in Guangfu?" The second uncle has not yet put down his wine glass, and he can't wait to ask the question. Finished.

The four members of the Liu family were in a state of confusion.

There is no one like them who is not happy after getting promoted, but is more worried than before.

You must know that this time they didn't even have the money to operate, so the 1,800 yuan was given to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was eating braised beef to relieve his hangover. When he heard the second uncle’s question, he swallowed the meat and replied:

"Second uncle, there is nothing wrong with what you said at that time. I also heard clearly that it was about turning Guangfu into an apprentice, right?"

What Li Xiang said made the four members of the Liu family nod in unison.

"Then what..." The second aunt looked puzzled.

Li Xiang interrupted the second aunt's question: "Listen to me."

"I haven't forgotten about Guangfu. The second uncle's promotion was just a matter of course. You can find time to send the money to Director Xu, who has just been transferred back. Then Guangfu's matter will basically be settled."

Li Xiang took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and pushed it back to the second uncle.

"This...this..." The second uncle looked at the money and was a little at a loss.

The rest of the Liu family didn't fare much better.

This one thousand and eighty is not enough to solve one position. Li Xiang not only helped his family Guangfu solve the problem, but also promoted the second uncle.

He himself only received 800 yuan.

What can you do with these 800 yuan to open up relationships and do favors? The second aunt raised her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Liu Guangfu's voice was choked and he said: "Brother Xiang, just ask if you have anything to do in the future. If I, Liu Guangfu, say no, I will die badly."

"And me." Liu Guangtian also echoed.

Li Xiang couldn't stand it, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

He waved his hands and said: "I would be lying if I said it took a lot of effort, but it would also be a lie if I said it was no effort. It should be that you, the Liu family, have some luck this year. Good luck and noble people have happened to you." , so these things went smoothly."

The second uncle coughed a few times to cover up his trembling throat.

He raised the cup and saluted Li Xiang again: "My child, don't say anything else. Everything is in the wine. You are the great benefactor of our Liu family."

With everything settled, the Liu family was finally in the mood to celebrate and celebrate this double happiness.

After having enough wine and food, the second uncle insisted on leaving Li Xiang to sit for a while and have a cup of tea.

He was now quite curious about the details that would make things happen this time.

For example, why can Liu Guangfu's work be solved by giving Director Xu a thousand yuan?

"Has the output of the steel rolling mill been getting lower and lower in the past few months?" Li Xiang asked him.

The second uncle and Liu Guangfu nodded together, the whole factory knew about this.

"As a result, the main problem lies in Lao Li's strategy of transferring logistics to production."

Several people seemed to understand, but they still didn't quite understand how this related to their family's affairs.

"Director Xu was unjustly dismissed from his position as director because he was implicated by Director Yang. As far as I know, he also suffered a lot. He is able to return to the same level this time. He is a smart man. He doesn't know that he is Who is taking care of you, and Lao Li will need you people recently, so he will not refuse some requirements for production. This time, a group of people have been transferred to various major workshops for management, and another one It’s normal to send people to do production.”

Li wanted to stop here. If he didn't understand it yet, there would be no need to continue.

Among the four people, except for the second aunt who was still a little confused, the other three finally realized it.

That’s the truth.

Because I understand, I have a more concrete understanding of their energy towards Li Xiang.

He even thought that Li Xiang took such a troublesome action because of their family's affairs.

As for whether this is the case, only Li Xiang knows for himself.

What Li Xiang didn't tell them was that actually the thousand yuan might not be used, because Director Xu might not accept it.

Of course, not accepting it does not mean that it will not be done.

Li Xiang knew that when his group was implicated, most of the family's money was not saved.

This thousand yuan is actually a disguised form of aid to them and improve their lives.

It’s up to them to take it or not.

If you don't know how to temporarily put away your useless self-esteem at this time, even gods can't save you.

　Thank you to readers and friends "20220722223144640", "20230405200110828", "Xiong Xiaotianxia", "Red Silk" and "Just Love Zhong Chuhong" for their monthly votes.

　　Thank you also to other friends for their recommendation votes.

　　PS: The author’s thoughts.

　　There was a message from a reader today that really broke my defense. I responded immediately and didn’t want to bear it at all.

　　He said it was a poisonous point that Qin Huairu didn't hook up like in the original drama.

　　He said it was poisonous for Silly Zhu not to lick Qin Huairu.

　　He said that the first uncle didn't have much calculation, and Silly Zhu was the poisonous point.

　　In other words, I wrote the third uncle too badly. Although I don't agree with it, it is within the acceptable range of attack.

　　The core of this book is that there is Li Xiang's family in the courtyard, and their progress affects the fate of others.

　　Instead of having one more cancer that causes everyone to mutate and fall into the abyss.

　　Sometimes, making so much money makes my head hurt.

　　The saddest thing is that there is only enough money to buy pickles. TT

　　Also, if some friends see a section that they don’t like, they can directly say they are not satisfied or don’t like it. I can accept that and I will handle it as appropriate.

　　Just don’t threaten me by abandoning the book. The new author has his own ideas.

　　Scare me too much and I'll go crazy.
