Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

By the time he got off work, the news that Lin Wencui had become an official had already spread to the courtyard.

Lin Wencui, the deputy director, is a genuine official, unlike some squad leaders, group leaders, section chiefs and the like, who are national-level cadres.

Everyone in the courtyard was jealous. This was the first cadre in the courtyard, why not me? 87.5 yuan a month, how could she spend it?

Liu Haizhong was even more jealous and going crazy. She, Lin Wencui, was just a woman, how could she be an official?

How come I, Liu Haizhong, a dignified second uncle of a courtyard house, can't be an official? Could it be that I, Liu Haizhong, am not as good as a woman?

Liu Haizhong couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and continued drinking.

Soon, Liu Haizhong's eyes were red from drinking. Second Auntie was watching from the side, thinking silently in her heart, "Oh! I wonder which unlucky kid is going to get into trouble tonight?"

At this time, Sun Dajiang and his family were celebrating for Lin Wencui in the hotel. They also invited some leaders and friends. Everyone was toasting and imagining the future together, and it was very lively.

By the time the family finished their meal and returned to the compound, it was almost 9 o'clock. After washing up, everyone went to bed.

The next morning, after Sun Dajiang and his wife finished their meal and prepared to go to work, they ran into Yan Bugui as soon as they reached the gate.

"Da Jiang Wen Cui, good morning! Are you getting ready to go to work?"

Sun Dajiang understood that Yan Bugui had been guarding the door early in the morning, and he must have been trying to block him. His purpose was self-evident, but he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him, so he greeted him back.

"Good morning! Uncle, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Dajiang. Third uncle heard that Wen Cui became an official, so he's here to congratulate you."

Listen, this explains why you are here. Now it’s time to ask for a treat.

Sun Dajiang laughed secretly in his heart, "If you want me to treat you, I will treat you for nothing."

It's not that Sun Dajiang is stingy, he can still afford this amount of money. The key is that these people in Siheyuan not only eat your food, but also scold you behind your back. They never get enough of taking advantage of you. It's hard to describe in words.

Thinking of this, Sun Dajiang said politely.

"Thank you, Third Uncle. It's just a coincidence that the former deputy director was transferred, so Wen Cui took advantage of it. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Sun Dajiang also said something, which made Yan Bugui's mouth twitch.

"Look, is this human language? It's not worth mentioning. If you say that, you will have no friends."

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui continued.

“Yes, yes, this is nothing to you, Dajiang, but it’s different for our compound.

Wen Cui is the first person in our institute to hold an official position, which is also a sign of progress for our institute.

Look, the neighbors in the compound are also happy for Wen Cui and want to celebrate for her. When will they set up a few tables? "

"Thank you, but now even great men advocate frugality, so I won't let my neighbors spend money on me to celebrate. Okay! Uncle, you are busy, I will go to work first."

Yan Bugui was stunned. "Did I mean that? Was it because I was too tactful and Sun Dajiang didn't understand?"

While Yan Bugui was still imagining, Sun Dajiang and his wife had already walked away.

It was not until the two men walked away that Yan Bugui reacted and stamped his feet in anger.

When the neighbors in the courtyard found out that Sun Dajiang would not treat them to a meal, they all got angry and started cursing.

"This ungrateful bastard would rather invite outsiders to dinner than invite people from our courtyard to dinner."

"Lin Wencui is such a money-loser. I curse him to give birth to a son without an asshole. No, no, I curse him to give birth to a grandson without an asshole."

The one who cursed the most harshly was Jia Zhang. Of course, Sun Dajiang was not here. If Sun Dajiang was here, he would definitely slap her in the face.

In the end, Lin Wencui's plan to become an official came to nothing in Siheyuan.

……

On the weekend, at 10 a.m., at the gate of the courtyard, Sun Dajiang and his family got into a car and drove away.

Today is the day I had an appointment with Lou Bancheng. In order to show his importance, Lou Bancheng even sent a car to pick me up.

The neighbors of the courtyard looked at this and were jealous again, "Look at him, he just got promoted and a car came to pick him up."

Sun Dajiang didn't know these words, and his family had already arrived at Lou Bancheng's villa.

At the gate of the villa, Lou Bancheng and his family were already standing at the door to greet them.

After getting off the car, the family was welcomed into the villa and there was another round of greetings.

Sun Zhengguo was also shocked by the Lou family at this time. The Lou family was too luxurious. Even from the perspective of a later generation, he was shocked. Can you imagine how luxurious the Lou family was?

No wonder the Lou family was the first to fall when the storm started. Even if Xu Damao hadn't reported it, the Lou family would have fallen. What we have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.

While Sun Zhengguo was shocked, several people came to the living room, sat down, and the servant served tea.

The adults were drinking and chatting, the younger brothers and sisters were eating snacks on the table, and only Sun Zhengguo was bored and could only casually look around at the furnishings.

And Lou Xiao'e has been staring at Sun Zhengguo with her beautiful eyes since he got off the car.

Sun Zhengguo knew all this, but what could he do?

"Sun Zhengguo never dared to think about making trouble. It's not that Lou Xiao'e is not beautiful, but that he can't do it. After making trouble, what will happen to their whole family? You know, Lou Xiao'e and her family have no choice but to run away."

Therefore, even though Sun Zhengguo knew that Lou Xiao'e had a crush on him, he could only pretend not to know.

After everyone chatted for a while, a servant came to say that the food was ready and we could eat.

The Lou family really put a lot of effort into preparing today’s meal. There was everything from flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and swimming in the water.

Coupled with the cooking by Sichuan cuisine master Liu Dachuan, the meal was extremely delicious and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content.

After dinner, when the servant served tea, Sun Dajiang did not hide anything and spoke directly to the point.

"Boss Lou, first of all, I want to thank you for hosting our family today. Second, I want to thank you for helping my wife run for deputy director a few days ago. Was it Boss Lou who helped?"

Lou Bancheng smiled and nodded to acknowledge it.

"What I did are all small matters. Compared with my daughter's matter, they are not worth mentioning. Brother Dajiang, please don't take it to heart."

It was not until then that Lin Wencui realized that it was Lou Bancheng who helped her become the deputy director. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Every sip and every bite has its destiny."

After both sides talked things out, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

An hour later, Sun Dajiang said goodbye, and Lou Bancheng did not try to keep him. He just took out a small box he had prepared and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.

"Zhengguo, I won't say much to thank you. This is a small gift from Uncle Lou. Please be sure to accept it."

When Sun Zhengguo saw the thing Lou Bancheng handed over, he didn't know whether to accept it or not, so he looked at Sun Dajiang.

Sun Dajiang looked at his son's eyes asking for help and shook his head.

Lou Bancheng noticed this action and forced it into Sun Zhengguo's mouth without waiting for him to refuse.

Bian Sai was still talking.

"Why are you being so polite to Uncle Lou? Come visit us often and let Xiao'e thank you very much."

Not until the car drove away did Lou Bancheng slowly turn his head and say something to Lou Xiao'e.

"Like it?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded subconsciously, then remembered something, quickly shook her head, and ran away with a red face.

Lou Bancheng looked at his daughter's expression, thoughtfully, and an idea already came to his mind.

(I really like the character of Lou Xiao'e, but her family is very contradictory to this era. I have described this character so much that I don't know how to continue. I would like to ask Master Minglu for advice.)
