The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 167, All living beings

At around six o'clock in the evening, after the old and young men who worked in the steel rolling mill returned home, the news about the personnel changes in the Security Section and Li Weiguo's promotion to deputy section chief quickly spread throughout the courtyard, including several surrounding steel rolling mill employee colleges. There was an uproar.

The front yard of the courtyard, the third uncle’s house.

The third uncle just came back from school, and before he could put down his textbooks and lesson plans, the third aunt came over mysteriously.

"Old man, something big happened in our courtyard, have you heard about it?"

"Huh? What happened?"

The third uncle casually put the lesson plans and textbooks in his hands on the dining table and looked at his mother-in-law in confusion, not knowing what she was talking about.

Seeing him like this, the third aunt remembered that her old man was a teacher and did not work in the steel rolling mill. She did not know what happened in the factory today, so she explained to him: "Silly Zhu came back from work just now and said that Wei Guo had made contributions in the factory and was promoted. He has been promoted to deputy section chief of the security department."

"Huh? Are you sure?" The third uncle's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"I'm sure! Several people who work in the steel rolling mill in our hospital said so when they came back, and the first uncle also said the same when he came back. It can't be wrong." The third aunt said with determination.

"Have you really been promoted to associate degree?"

When the third uncle heard this, he was greatly shocked: "The good guy Wei Guo has great potential now."

The third aunt also echoed: "Who says it's not the case? A twenty-year-old associate professor, not only in our hospital, but also in the entire Nanluogu Lane, he is a top-notch young talent."

The third uncle nodded in agreement and was filled with emotion. Who would have thought that in less than a year, Li Weiguo, who had returned from a different career, would become a deputy subject.

The level of a deputy subject is not low. The teaching director in the school is also at this level. What's more, Li Weiguo is only twenty years old. It is rare to see such a young deputy subject.

After sighing for a moment, the third uncle suddenly clapped his hands, as if he remembered something, and quickly turned to his mother-in-law and said: "By the way, old woman, if you have something to do, just come to the door and look around. Weiguo is now alone, and there is no one at home. Take care of it, if there is anything you need to do, please take the initiative to help me. With Weiguo’s temperament, I will definitely not let our work go in vain.”

"Oh, yes, yes. When Wei Guo is at home, I will go and see more."

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

As soon as Jia Dongxu came back from work, Jia Zhang, who heard the news in the courtyard, couldn't wait to grab her son to confirm the news.

"Son, is it true that Li Weiguo in the front yard has been promoted to associate degree?"

Qin Huairu, who was feeding rice cereal to Xiaodang next to him, also looked over, curiously waiting for Jia Dongxu's reply.

It's not a trivial matter for someone to be promoted in the courtyard. Housewives like them don't have much entertainment on weekdays. They only come into contact with some parents who are mean-spirited, so they are quite concerned about these things.

Jia Dongxu nodded absently, put down his satchel, and sat down at the dining table: "Yeah, I've been promoted to deputy section chief of the security department. It's been broadcast on the factory radio."

Even though he listened to the radio in the factory and heard it clearly, Jia Dongxu still couldn't believe it. How could there be such a big gap between this person and others? He was also one of the most promising young people in the courtyard, a third-level fitter, so what difference was there? Already?

Why is Li Weiguo soaring up like a rocket?

Jia Dongxu couldn't tell whether he was envious or confused or lost at the moment. He just felt that his whole body was out of energy. When Li Weiguo became angry last year, he still had some energy, but now he has completely lost his energy.

Not noticing anything strange about her son, Jia Zhang, who had to answer accurately, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, and all kinds of emotions came out for a while.

He couldn't help but said bitterly: "Oh...why do you think Li Weiguo is so lucky? Such a great good thing has come to his advantage."

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu couldn't help but rolled their eyes after hearing their mother's sour words. Is this promotion just a matter of luck? This is sour

The grandfather's house on the other side of the central courtyard.

The first man, Yi Zhonghai, and his wife were sitting at the dining table, chatting while eating dinner, and they also talked about things in the steel rolling mill.

"Old man, this Weiguo is promising. I didn't expect that not long after Lao Li left, he became angry. This kid is also a good person." The eldest mother said with emotion while eating.

"Yes." Yi Zhonghai also nodded with emotion.

Halfway through the meal, the couple ate, and the eldest mother seemed to remember something, so she said: "Old man, Weiguo is now alone, a promising and filial man, what if we..."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed, and he was slightly moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.

"It's good to defend the country, but it's a pity that we are too late. Master Wang may not agree."

The eldest mother was quite moved at first, but after hearing this, she was half-empty, but she was a little unwilling to do so: "Well, that's not a conflict, Wei Guo can be filial to both sides. Master Wang has it, and we have it too." , after a hundred years between us, we can leave our house, savings, job, etc. to him, and Weiguo may not object."

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Let's take a look, isn't there Dongxu, and Silly Zhu is not bad either."

Seeing that her man didn't agree, the aunt couldn't help but look dark. She could only blame herself and said: "Oh, it's all my fault for being useless. If..."

"Okay, let's eat. Don't think too much. Don't worry. I will arrange it."

Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Haizhong's family was eating around the dining table.

The dinner on the table is relatively simple, including a plate of potato stewed with cabbage, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a plate of pickled cabbage. The staple food is stick noodles, steamed buns and sorghum noodles.

There are also a few pieces of lard residue in the potato stewed cabbage, and there seems to be some oil and water. It is considered a good dinner.

Liu Haizhong, his wife and Liu Guangqi were eating two-faced steamed buns with potatoes and cabbage one by one, while the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were eating sorghum flour pancakes with pickles one by one, eating silently on the side.

"Head of the family, I heard everyone in the courtyard is spreading the news that Li Weiguo has been promoted to deputy section chief?" The second aunt put a piece of lard residue in her bangs and asked curiously.

Liu Haizhong's eating movements stalled, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

"Yes, promoted to deputy section chief of the security department."

It's okay that the second aunt didn't mention this problem, but Liu Haizhong felt unhappy when she mentioned Li Weiguo's promotion.

He casually picked up the enamel jar next to him and took a sip, then placed it heavily on the table and said angrily: "Why do you think this leader has such a lack of vision? That boy Li Weiguo was promoted to deputy section chief when he was only a few years old, like us. Old employees who are hard-working and skilled have no chance at all. Tell me, what's the difference?"

The second aunt saw that her man looked worried, so she quickly put a piece of lard residue in his bowl and comforted him: "It seems to me that the leaders of this factory also have no vision. With the skills and progressive style of the boss, It's long past time for me to be promoted to leader, but the leaders in the factory just don't see my efforts."

Liu Haizhong didn't answer, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He picked up a two-faced steamed bun and took a vicious bite, as if he wanted to eat someone's flesh and blood alive.

Upon seeing this, the three Liu Guangqi brothers looked at each other, curled their lips secretly, said nothing, and lowered their heads one after another and continued eating.

They know their father's character too well, and they get excited when it comes to promotion. Now it's someone else who's being promoted, not to mention how depressed he is now, so the three brothers don't want to speak out to offend him, so they should just eat honestly. .
