Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

Due to limited conditions in the village, Secretary Wu Yong arranged the banquet at his own home.

He Lin knew at a glance that this was specially prepared in advance, with four dishes and one soup.

There were scrambled eggs with green onions, fried potatoes and pork slices, stir-fried vegetables and seaweed egg soup, and in the middle there was a big pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms. This would be considered quite impressive not only in the countryside, but also in the city.

Since the other party was so generous, he couldn't lose face. He Lin just put two bottles of good wine in the car and asked Xu Damao to get them.

"Director He, you are too polite. I asked you to bring some wine when you are at Maolou. This is a bit unreasonable."

"Brother Wu, please don't be so formal. We feel like old friends today. Let alone whose wine it is, even if we drink plain water, I will be happy with it."

"Look, he is the leader of a large state-owned factory in Beijing. His words are very sophisticated. I will accept it with a thick face. But you know what, this old Fenjiu is really hard to get in the countryside. I am also grateful to you today."

Xu Damao had come to Maolou Commune several times when he went to the countryside to show movies. At most he would buy some mountain products, but this was the first time that Secretary Wu had given him such a high-level reception.

It’s good to follow the leader.

Old Wu was also a straightforward person. Now that he had spoken out, he stopped being polite and directly opened a bottle of Fenjiu and poured a glass for He Lin and Xu Damao.

Because they were out of town and it was late at night, He Lin did not let the female comrade drink, and Old Wu did not continue to urge her to drink.

Wu Yong should be able to drink quite a lot, as he drank a glass of wine right at the beginning, and then looked at the glass in He Lin's hand.

He Lin had experienced the atmosphere in the drinking hall at the steel mill. He was mentally prepared since he was there, so he drank the glass of wine in his hand without saying a word.

Seeing that the two big guys had done it, Xu Damao gritted his teeth and followed suit.

"Good brother, I'll fill it up for you. Although our Maolou Commune is not big, it also governs six or seven villages in the radius. As long as you are in Maolou, just take care of it if you need anything."

He Lin nodded in agreement, but he only listened to Wu Yong's words three-quarters of the way.

This is how the polite words are spoken at a bar. No matter how confidently the speaker speaks, they may just be drunken talk, and the listener should not take them seriously.

Normally, Brother Damao couldn't drink a lot of alcohol, so he couldn't handle two or three cups. So He Lin asked him to take the three female comrades to arrange accommodation in advance.

Wu Yong's attention was all on He Lin, so he naturally did not stop him. It would be easier to talk after the others left.

"Brother He is probably only in his twenties this year, right? He is really young and promising, and heroes emerge from youth."

"Brother, you are twenty-one this year. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Hey, I think you are the one with the best eyes. Nothing can be hidden from you."

It was pretty much as He Lin expected. The matter that came to him must be related to the steel mill. Old Wu couldn't be involved in business matters, so the rest could only be personnel-related.

Sure enough, Old Wu called over a little girl about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Brother He, this is my niece Wu Xiaoli. She went to school in the city and graduated from a proper high school. She is well-educated and well-educated, but she had a hard life. Her mother died when she was a child, and she was raised by my eldest brother. Unfortunately, just when she graduated this year, my eldest brother also passed away due to illness, so I took her to live with me."

"But it's not a good idea in the long run. If I just marry her off to the countryside and let her live with a farmer for the rest of her life, it would be too unfair to my deceased brother. So I want to ask you to help me find her a job in the city, just a job that can support herself. As for her future marriage, it's up to her to decide. I've also fulfilled my responsibilities as an uncle."

"Uncle San, you have done your best, please don't bother me anymore."

Wu Yong has recently asked many people to handle this matter, but not only does his network of connections not exist in the city, but there are also many young people in the city who can't find jobs, so there has been no result until now.

He Lin did not respond, but just stared at Wu Xiaoli carefully. He really needed to train a group of capable subordinates in the steel rolling mill, but this new girl could not be of much help to him.

If he helps everyone he sees, he will be exhausted to death.

Seeing He Lin's silence, Wu Yong felt disappointed.

I felt bad knowing that I had caused so much trouble to others on our first meeting.

It was just that he finally met a leader in the city, and thinking of his deceased elder brother, he still wanted to fight for his niece.

"This is just my personal matter. I shouldn't bother Brother He. Let's continue drinking."

Seeing her uncle waving at her, Wu Xiaoli nodded to He Lin, turned around and walked out the door.

"Xiao Li?"

"Haitang, is it really you? Why are you here?"

After arranging accommodation, Yu Haitang was still worried about He Lin drinking alone, so she complained to the waste Xu Damao and went to check on him. Unexpectedly, she ran into her classmate.

"Brother Lin, this is my high school classmate. Yu Shui also knows her."

"Oh, that's great. So we are all family now. You guys can go catch up first. Wu Ge and I will finish this soon."

He Lin emphasized the word "his own people". Wu Yong understood what he meant and did not continue to dwell on Wu Xiaoli's matter. He just finished the wine in the glass with He Lin and ended the evening's reception.

Wu Yong arranged two rooms in the commune, one for men and one for women. He also specifically instructed that all the bedding be replaced with new ones. Such conditions were extremely rare in the countryside.

Before going to bed, He Lin called Yu Haitang over and briefly learned about Wu Xiaoli's situation. He knew that she was a good student with excellent academic performance and a positive attitude during her school years, so he also had a plan in mind.

"Brother Lin, I just found out about Xiaoli's family situation. I was wondering why I couldn't contact her before. If it's not difficult for you, then can you help her?"

"Of course, if there is any trouble, don't worry about it. Xiaoli and I haven't told anything."

Yu Haitang spoke carefully. Although she and He Lin were usually very close, she knew some things she could do and some things she could not do because of He Lin's words and deeds.

In her opinion, Wu Xiaoli's incident might at least cause trouble for Brother Lin, so she was very careful.

"It's not a big deal. If you want to help her, then you can just go and notify her to come to the steel rolling mill for an interview tomorrow. Just follow the recruitment process for the gear-shift bicycle workshop."

"If you pass, I will notify the personnel department and treat it as a temporary recruitment."
