I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"You want to leave now? Haven't we settled our scores yet?"

Xu Damao blocked Liu Haizhong's way and insisted on having an explanation today.

Liu Haizhong looked quite helpless.

"Da Mao, I helped you get this position as the Third Master. Have you forgotten?"

"Now that you mention it, I really remembered it. Are you satisfied with that watch?"

Xu Damao's face darkened and he became furious when he thought of this.

That gift list almost put him in despair.

I finally received a watch, but it was taken away by Liu Haizhong.

There was no news from the steel mill, and no one cared about me, a third-rate uncle.

This guy used to rely on his position as deputy director and never took him seriously.

"I'll give you the watch back, is that ok?"

"What about the gift list? Money thrown into the water should make some noise. You didn't deliver the gifts to Deputy Director Li at all, did you?"

Liu Haizhong's head tightened, and he quickly explained: "How is it possible? I can lie to anyone but I can't lie to you!"

"Stop talking nonsense. This matter must be explained. Li Huaide is down and my hope of getting a job in the factory is gone. This money can't be thrown away like this. Not to mention that we are a family of one, there is no affection between us. If you don't return the money, your family will have a hard time!" Xu Damao never considers the consequences of his actions.

Liu Haizhong’s life or death had nothing to do with him.

"You know the situation in my family."

Even food and clothing are a problem, how can I have extra money to repay the debt?

Liu Haizhong frowned, trying to awaken the kindness in Xu Damao's heart.

"I will definitely pay you back when I find a new job."

"Looking at your current condition, even if you go to pick up scraps, we may not want you."

"Yes." Xu Damao's words made Liu Haizhong seem to see a glimmer of hope.

"Da Mao, San Ge, I'm still pretty strong and can do both dirty and heavy work. Do you have any vacancies at your recycling station?"

When you have no food to eat, why would you care whether the job is decent or not?

Life must go on.

"Didn't you look down on me, a rag collector, before? Why, now you're begging me for help?" Xu Damao was also weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Liu Haizhong is currently unemployed and his family has no savings.

Even if you sell it by weight, I'm afraid you won't get even a few copper coins.

If he is pushed too hard and falls ill and ends up in the hospital, there's no guarantee that he won't be blamed by his family.

The problem is that although the threshold for entering a waste recycling station is low, it is still a state-owned unit after all.

Liu Haizhong was fired from the steel mill and his file was tainted.

If you want to go back to No. 297, it will be very difficult without connections.

"I was wrong in the past, Damao. Now I have nothing valuable except my body. Please help me and go to the station to ask. I promise to pay you back as soon as I get my salary!"

Xu Damao glanced at Liu Haizhong with a sullen face.

"It's not impossible for me to help you, but it's not easy for you to get in with your current conditions. I have to make some connections."

"I..." Liu Haizhong looked embarrassed. The only ten dollars he had was given by his boss Liu Guangqi.

If I take them all out, I will be hungry in a few days.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong bent down and said flatteringly: "Third brother, I really don't have any money, how about you pay for me first?"

"You want me to pay for the arrangement?" Xu Damao was shocked. He actually had the nerve to make such a request?

Liu Haizhong was really helpless.

"I'll write the IOU, plus the gift list from before. As long as I can get into the recycling station, I'll be a regular employee, with a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan, which is nearly 300 yuan a year. Please give me some time. When I catch my breath, I will definitely pay you back."

These words seemed extremely sincere.

This account is not difficult to calculate.

It's like having one more person working for you for free.

A sure-profit trade.

If this guy was really pushed into a corner, Xu Damao was really worried that he would bang his head against the wall of his house and die.

"Okay, write me an IOU right away."

"I'll write it right now, I'll write it right now!"

Finally there was hope of getting a job, and Liu Haizhong couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

With his shrewd mind, he is confident that he can thrive even in a scrap recycling station.

Where you fall, there you must get up.

Xu Damao, Ye Ming, and that bastard Liu Guangtian, sooner or later they will pay the price!

Yanzhi Lane is extremely lively today, even more festive than during the Chinese New Year.

Teacher Ran is getting married, which is a big event.

Friends and relatives nearby rushed over after hearing the news.

Just like Ye Ming's side, before dawn, Ran's father and mother had already started to get busy.

Hou Paolan was also busy helping out.

The living room is filled with various snacks that are rarely seen in daily life, such as peanuts, melon seeds, candied dates, longans, etc.

Ran Qiuye changed into new clothes early, put on all kinds of jewelry, and sat upright on the bed, waiting for the groom to take her home.

Ran's mother stayed with her daughter, holding her hand and giving her some instructions on what to pay attention to after getting married.

"The groom has arrived!"

The sound of firecrackers rang out outside, and relatives and friends rushed out to watch the fun.

Surrounded by the crowd, Ye Ming, with a rosy face, walked steadily into Ran Qiuye's room.

Looking at the girl in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night, Ye Ming showed an honest smile.

She said softly, "I'm going home."

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye's eyelashes trembled slightly under her red veil.

The blush on her face, I don't know if it was blush or shyness, she said softly: "Yeah."

The relatives and friends in the room began to make noises and jokes.

After Ran Qiuye offered a cup of tea to Ran's father and mother, Ye Ming also changed his tone and called his parents.

The two old men were naturally delighted with the young man in front of them.

Carrying the bride, the two men got on their bicycles and sped through the streets and alleys.

"We're getting married!"

Ye Ming declared his surging emotions to the pedestrians around him, the ancient city under his feet, and this dull era!

Xiaoxin also changed into a bright red wedding dress and sat on the front bumper of the car, laughing.

Ran Qiuye sat steadily in the back seat, hugging Ye Ming's waist tightly as she always did. Infected by his emotions, she also smiled from ear to ear.

Recalling the process of their acquaintance and getting to know each other, everything before his eyes seemed like a dream.

If this was really a dream, she would rather never wake up again.

The spring thunder begins to sound and the sun rises in the east.

At the same time, a not-so-luxurious wedding made the entire city lively.

Director Lou couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw Lou Xiao'e being silent in the car.

"Xiao'e, this is fate. We have to accept it. If you miss this person, there will always be another one. You will always meet a good man who truly loves you."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her eyes. Although she had been mentally prepared, when this day really came, she still felt empty in her heart.
