Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Not long after, Sun Zhengguo and his companions returned to the courtyard.

At this time, the courtyard was filled with a rich fragrance and many people came, making it even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

Sun Dajiang and his wife, who returned home first, are checking for omissions and trying to figure out what is missing.

It’s no wonder that when Sun Dajiang saw his daughter, he really thought of her shortcomings and quickly gave instructions.

"Zhenghong, you're back just in time. We're still short of an accountant, so I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, Sun Zhenghong was surprised. "Dad, is it appropriate to hand it over to me? Aren't the accountants usually held by those old gentlemen? Can I do it?"

"Why not? You are an accountant in a large company, and you can't handle such a small matter. Besides, no one stipulates who should be the accountant. Go quickly. You have already wasted a lot of time."

"okay!"

Sun Zhenghong didn't continue to be pretentious. He went to the front yard near the door and asked his cousin to help him move the table and stools. He then started to do the work of an accountant.

When Yan Bugui saw this scene, he felt heartbroken and his mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to say a word.

With the accountant, neighbors, relatives and friends began to pay their share of the money.

An auntie from the yard was the first to step forward and said, "Zhenghong, auntie will give you five yuan as a share."

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Li, for your support."

……

After the first one, there was the second one, and gradually more and more people came, and Sun Zhenghong kept collecting money to register.

Because the Sun family has a lot of interpersonal relationships, the starting price for paying favors to residents in the courtyard is five yuan.

Several of Sun Dajiang's relatives gave 20 yuan each, except for my grandfather's families, who were special, as they all gave 60 yuan.

The residents of the courtyard were amazed by what they saw, and felt that they could make a fortune just by hosting a banquet.

"My goodness, after hosting this banquet, how much should we charge for the banquet?"

"What do you know? No matter how many favors you have, you still have to repay them. Do you think this is a one-time deal?"

"That's true. If it were me, I would just run away after receiving the share money and never have to pay it back."

"Hahaha!"

The neighbor's joke caused everyone to laugh.

……

Slowly, with the arrival of the end of get off work time, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and others who worked in the steel rolling mill also returned to the yard.

At the same time, they also took the initiative to help maintain order, hoping that they would have a chance to show up when the leader arrived later.

People like Sun Dajiang and his wife, Sun Zhengguo and his brother, Zhou Weimin and others have already arrived at the door to welcome the guests.

After a while, several cars arrived at the door and the first group of guests arrived.

Sun Zhengguo took a closer look and found that it was indeed his own people who gave him face. All the people in these cars were from the research institute.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen..., you are all welcome to be our guests."

"Director Sun, you are too polite. We are here uninvited, so please don't blame us. On behalf of everyone, I would like to congratulate the baby on his health, happiness and good luck." Li Shengli said with his hands clasped.

"Thank you, thank you! Please sit inside."

After some pleasantries, Sun Zhengguo arranged for Zhou Weimin to lead the group into the courtyard.

The arrival of Li Shengli and his group was like a signal, and the guests came one after another.

The second group of people to come were from the machinery factory, represented by Director Li. The two sides exchanged greetings again, and Sun Zhengguo also politely welcomed them into the yard.

Following closely were Director Zhou from the Power Supply Bureau and his entourage, who were received by Sun Dajiang.

Director Yang of the steel rolling mill and his entourage were welcomed into the yard by Lin Wencui.

Director Xia and his team at the tractor factory were handed over to Sun Zhengan.

Director Qian of the Subdistrict Office and his entourage, Director Tang and Wang Lefeng of the Iron and Steel Research Institute, Zhao Guoping and others from the Ministry of Metallurgy, Engineer Zhang and Director Wu from the Ministry of Machinery, and others...

Gradually, as more and more guests came, several unexpected guests arrived.

Such as Director Gao of the First Steel Rolling Mill, Director Wu of the Second Steel Rolling Mill, the Mayor of Dongcheng District, as well as the former Chief Li of the police station and the current Deputy Director Li of Dongcheng District.

In line with the principle that guests are guests, Sun Zhengguo also welcomed them into the courtyard politely.

We were busy until almost twelve o'clock, when the representatives of the two ministers of the Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of Metallurgy, Secretary Wang and Secretary Hu, finally arrived on time.

After some pleasantries, Sun Zhengguo welcomed them into the courtyard.

As soon as the two men entered the yard, they acted like familiar people and presented gifts one after another.

However, what they gave was not money, but exquisite gifts, which made it difficult for Sun Zhengguo to refuse.

"I'm so sorry to hear that you two secretaries are so polite. Please come in quickly."

"Of course, of course. This is a small gift for the child. I hope he will grow up strong and healthy soon and become a pillar of the country in the future."

……

The two secretaries said some auspicious words and were led into the private room by Sun Zhengguo.

Today, just as Lin Wenjun guessed, the people who could enter the private room to eat were all of high status.

Not all of them are department-level cadres! There are only one or two division-level cadres among them.

Of course, the two secretaries are not on the list, but the identities they represent are two ministerial-level bosses.

"Zhengan, everyone is here, let's prepare the feast!"

"Okay, big brother."

Having said that, Sun Zhengan walked out the door and came to the middle courtyard to find He Daqing.

"Uncle He, we can start the meal now."

"Okay! Get busy, serve the food!"

Following He Daqing's shout, several helpers picked up trays and began to shuttle back and forth between the courtyards, constantly busy serving the dishes.

Afterwards, Sun Zhengan found his uncle and asked him to take charge of taking care of the Central Court. Of course, Lin Wenjun had no problem with that and readily agreed.

Since there was someone taking care of the central courtyard, someone must be found for the backyard as well. Then Sun Zhengan went to the backyard and found Liu Haizhong.

"Second uncle, I can't take care of the front yard, so I'd like you to help take care of the backyard."

"Don't worry, Zheng'an, I'll leave the backyard to Second Master. Go and do your own thing!"

Liu Haizhong happily accepted the task and felt very honored.

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle."

Finally, Sun Zhengan returned to the front yard. Needless to say, the person in charge of the front yard was handed over directly to Zhou Weimin.

After arranging all this, Sun Zhengan went to the ear room and began to entertain the table he was responsible for.

Some people may ask, why go to the ear room? Aren't there two side rooms?

That was because there were so many cadres coming that two more tables were added urgently, one outside and one in the ear room.

At this time, the guests in the Sun family's side room were the top priority and were accompanied by Sun Zhengguo himself.

Those who can sit in this room are all important people, needless to say the two secretaries, who come here on behalf of the minister.

In addition, there is Dongcheng District Mayor Wu. His main purpose of coming here today is to win over Sun Zhengguo so as to drive the development of the entire district.

Who knows, someday a few large factories will be built to solve many employment problems, so it’s worth coming here.

Director Zhou of the Power Supply Bureau, several directors of steel rolling mills, Director Xia of the tractor factory, Director Li of the machinery factory and others all had a simple purpose: they all wanted Sun Zhengguo to help their units develop machines.

The last one is Director Tang from the Iron and Steel Research Institute. His purpose is the simplest, which is to discuss how to improve the quality of steel.
