I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Xu Damao widened his eyes. It seemed that a lot of changes had taken place in the compound in the past two months.

"Your father didn't lie to you. Ye Ming is really a junk collector. Everyone in the alley knows that the old furniture in our house was taken away by him."

"Is this true?"

"That's right, no one cares, so don't be picky."

"But can I be the same as him? He, Ye Ming, is a little scoundrel with nothing to do, but I am an intellectual!"

Xu Damao still wanted to make a final struggle. After all, Ye Ming was young and could do anything. But if he didn't get married at his age, he would probably only be able to find someone else who was left over.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Come with me to the recycling station tomorrow to report.

In the past two months, almost all of our family savings have been spent on building relationships for you. If you don’t go to work, you will just be left alone at home!”

Xu Damao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

On the other side, Ye Ming and Xiao Xin also returned to the yard.

"Hey, the model worker is back? Cooking for the boss again?"

There was some sarcasm in what Grandpa Guo said, but Ye Ming didn't take it to heart.

"Nothing happened in our hospital today?"

"Our courtyard is fine, but Xu Damao from the courtyard next door has been released from prison."

"Xu Damao is out of prison?"

Having learned the news a few days ago, Ye Ming was not surprised.

"That's right. He's as thin as a stick of firewood. I feel like he'll be blown away by the wind. I guess he's suffering a lot in there."

Uncle Guo couldn't help but sigh, not knowing where this sympathy came from.

"We have no right to meddle in other people's affairs. It's very cold outside. I'm going back to the house first."

After saying that, Ye Ming took Xiao Xin back into the house.

I lit a charcoal fire, boiled a pot of hot water for soaking my feet, and carefully prepared some peanut cakes and milk as a midnight snack.

It was snowing heavily outside, but the clear laughter of a girl could be heard from inside the house from time to time.

After coaxing Xiaoxin to sleep, Ye Ming also got into bed.

With a slight movement of his mind, he entered the system space.

There were no major changes to the farm, but the ranch was successfully upgraded to level five.

After more than a month, the golden toad finally recovered to its previous size.

"Da Mao" barked wildly at the sleeping golden toad, which made Ye Ming recall the situation more than a month ago.

As expected, the golden toad spit out gold coins again, accumulating at a rate of one gold coin per second. Twenty thousand gold coins was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Ye Ming a month ago, but now it can hardly cause any emotional fluctuations in him.

The deposit in the package is about to exceed 200,000. If the farm is upgraded a few more times, the gold coins harvested will increase exponentially.

Without waiting for the golden toad to complete its "output", Ye Ming directly exited the system space.

He has developed the habit of getting up on time no matter what the weather is like.

Although his soul was still in the warm bed, he had already started preparing breakfast for Xiaoxin.

Although the temperature is cold, Xiaoxin is fortunately not in the habit of staying in bed.

When I opened the door, cold wind blew in.

The girl exclaimed, not because of the cold, but because of the snow-covered scenery in the courtyard, which can only be seen in the north.

Many neighbors in the alley were shoveling snow with shovels. Although it was beautiful, the thick snow did affect travel.

"Oh, isn't this a model worker?" Ye Ming ran into Xu Damao's family as soon as he stepped out of the hospital gate.

Just as Grandpa Guo said, Xu Damao was already skin and bones, and even a thick coat could not hide his frail appearance.

I thought two months in jail would make him behave himself, but now it seems that he hasn't changed much.

"Xu Damao, congratulations on getting out so quickly. I guess you spent a lot of money, right? Have you found a new job? Although I am a model worker and don't have much power, I still have a say in the factory. If you need it, I can ask Director Yang to help you."

"Don't cry foul here. How could you be so kind?" Xu Damao had already figured out what kind of person Ye Ming was during the two months in prison.

It was he who sent Sha Zhu in jail, and many things that happened in the hospital afterwards were probably related to Ye Ming.

This unclear charge of hooliganism against me might have been caused by him.

After suffering for two months in prison, Xu Damao was full of resentment and disliked everyone.

Especially when he saw that Ye Ming was living a comfortable life and heard that he had found a partner whose beauty and figure were comparable to Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's face was distorted by jealousy.

"Your kindness is being taken for granted, isn't it? You must work hard in your new unit and don't make mistakes again. If you go back to jail, your family won't have the money to get you out, right?"

When Xu Damao thought of the days in prison, his face instantly turned gloomy.

Ye Ming didn't give him a chance to attack and rode away on his bike.

"Hey, isn't this Xu Damao? Look how skinny this kid is. Life must be hard in there. If you have any problems at home, tell Uncle Yi. If you have trouble finding a job, I, the new deputy director of the forging workshop in the steel rolling mill, may be able to help."

Not long after Ye Ming left, Liu Haizhong immediately walked out of the yard. Fearing that Xu Damao was not aware of the current situation, he revealed his new identity in one breath.

Ever since Deputy Director Li made the promise, this 200-pound fat man has been walking with a bit of pride, shouting and yelling in the yard with his nose in the air.

"Deputy Director? You?" Xu Damao's face was full of disdain.

"Xu Damao, what's your attitude? You have no objection to the deputy director who was promoted by Deputy Director Li himself?" Liu Haizhong put away his smile and pretended to be majestic.

"Deputy Director Li?" If Liu Haizhong really hooked up with Deputy Director Li, this matter was most likely true.

Considering his current situation, Xu Damao immediately put on a smiling face and said flatteringly, "How can that be possible? With your qualifications, you are more than qualified to be a director, let alone a deputy director."

The two months of imprisonment were not without effect. Seeing that Xu Damao was sensible, Liu Haizhong's expression eased.

"It's not difficult to be competent for this job, but it's also thanks to the cultivation of Deputy Director Li."

"Yes, yes, Brother Yi, you know what I've been through. I was framed, my marriage fell through, I lost my job, and I was imprisoned for two months. Can you put in a few good words for me with Deputy Director Li so that I can go back to work in the factory?"

Liu Haizhong felt unhappy.

This kid is really good at taking advantage of others. He thinks he can take advantage of you just because you have some friendship with him?

Trash! Idiot! Hopeless!

It was just a casual remark, but this guy actually had the guts to ask for it.

No wonder I often make Deputy Director Li unhappy.

Liu Haizhong saw his own shadow in Xu Damao.

Liu Haizhong cursed secretly in his heart, but because of the presence of the Xu family, he could not show his contempt.

As a leader, you have to act like a leader.

At least appear more generous in front of others.

This is the trick.

"I'll help you raise this matter with Deputy Director Li. Although I have some respect with him, you know the situation well. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."
