Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Yan Fugui smiled awkwardly: "That's true..."

He knew that what Zhou Zheng said was the truth, but it was a pity. It would be great if Zhou Zheng could find time to hunt a few pheasants. If Zhou Zheng didn't eat the chicken offal, it would be a bargain for his family. He could also make shuttlecocks with the remaining pheasant feathers and make a lot of money by setting up a stall in the alley.

He Yuzhu has already set up the chess set: "Teacher Yan, you go first."

Yan Fugui did not move, but said: "It's boring to play like this, let's get 2 cents."

He Yuzhu didn't think Yan Fugui's chess skills were much better than his, and he also thought that 2 cents was not much, so he agreed: "Okay!"

Zhou Zheng felt that it was boring, so he said goodbye: "Then you two play, I'm going back."

He Yuzhu quickly asked, "Xiao Zhou, go back and ask Yushui to bring me two cucumbers."

These days, he has taken advantage of Zhou Zheng a lot, mainly because the vegetables in the vegetable garden in October are old and there are no fresh vegetables at all. Only Zhou Zheng's family has fresh vegetables to eat.

Then he was targeted by He Yuzhu.

However, Zhou Zheng did not suffer a loss. At least He Yuzhu left most of the lunch boxes he brought back from the steel mill to He Yushui, and Zhou Zheng could also taste He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

And He Yuzhu is very open-minded in one aspect.

He believed that as long as a man was capable, having three wives and four concubines was not a big deal, so he did not object to He Yushui marrying Zhou Zheng in the future, nor did he object to Zhou Zheng marrying two more wives.

Where can I find such a good brother-in-law?

When talking about He Yuzhu, we have to mention Xu Damao.

It’s not that Xu Damao is not close to the residents of the compound. It’s mainly because Zhou Zheng rarely sees him since he became a "projectionist". He doesn't know what he is busy with all day. There are many times when he doesn't go home for ten days or half a month. Even if he returns to the courtyard, his time is different from everyone else.

Another point is that there is no "all-institute meeting" at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, which has led to the fact that everyone's interactions are not as close as before.

The next time I saw Xu Damao was a week later, when Xu Chengzhou got married.

He was wearing a gray woolen coat, a thick wool scarf, and his hair was combed like it had been licked by a cow. He said, "This is called fashion."

But his eye sockets are sunken and his face is pale. Married men or men who have experienced early puberty can all tell what's going on: he's overworked.

We have all heard that "the projectionists in the factory go to the countryside like wild ducks, specifically recruiting widows", and it seems that this is true.

"Brother Damao." Zhou Zheng greeted him.

He responded with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, long time no see. Shh, I tell you, when you grow up you must become a projectionist. That life will be so comfortable. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Zhou Zheng curled the corners of his mouth.

Although between men, this... can barely be considered a good thing, but... Zhou Zheng is still too young and not suitable.

"Uh...Brother Damao, you should take it easy. You look so pale."

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows and said, "Tsk, you don't understand. Okay, I won't tell you this anymore. Your brother Damao has brought back a bull whip. Come to my house to drink tonight."

"it is good!"

Xu Chengzhou's wedding was still going on, with He Yuzhu helping to cook. There were a total of eight dishes, with a good mix of meat and vegetables.

The children in the yard were also waiting at the main gate to set off firecrackers.

At this time, there are more duds among the firecrackers, which is a "feast" for children.

Zhou Zheng gave a gift of 1 yuan. During this period, Xu Chengzhou was quite nice to Zhou Zheng.

Xu Chengye was greeting the guests. He seemed to be happier about his brother's marriage than his own. He had a smile on his face all morning.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were somewhat annoying in the audience. It was hard to say why, but they always interfered in everything and made people feel unhappy.

I just danced happily.

Near noon, the guests from the steel mill also arrived.

The front yard was almost full of people and the scene was very lively. Zhou Zheng also saw Director Yang and Zhou Yunhai's former colleagues.

"Brother Zhou, should we go pick up firecrackers?"

He Yushui came to Zhou Zheng at some point and looked at him hopefully.

Zhou Zheng was unwilling to go with the children to pick up firecrackers, so he immediately said, "Yushui, we won't fight with them. We have firecrackers at home. If you want to play with them, I'll give them to you."

He Yushui asked excitedly: "Really?"

Don't look at her as a girl. As the saying goes, "the more a person lacks something, the more he or she wants it." She has been following He Yuzhu for all these years, so she has no money to buy firecrackers. In the past, she used to pick up duds from the pile of firecrackers.

Zhou Zheng touched He Yushui's little head lovingly.

"Okay, come with me, I'll get you some firecrackers."

Back in the east courtyard, Zhou Zheng took He Yushui into the house.

He first bought a string of firecrackers from the points mall, and then pretended to escape from the closet and give them to Xiao Yushui.

"Okay, take it and set it off, but don't let it explode."

"Hmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o"

Zhou Zheng was also confused. Every time he encountered an occasion like a wedding, he felt it was chaotic. Everyone was busy and he didn't know what he could do.

Director Yang found Zhou Zheng in the crowd, pulled him to a corner without him noticing, and handed him 300 yuan.

This kind of thing has become common since Wan Jingliang started buying "healing pills" from Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng also understood what Director Yang meant. He took the 300 yuan and handed him a "healing pill".

I don’t know why these big shots always have “old leaders” who need to be treated.

At noon, the wedding banquet officially began.

There was no speech by the emcee. Instead, the leader gave a speech, followed by a swearing-in to the party, and then the "Quotations" were recited.

It was the first time that Zhou Zheng saw a wedding like this. When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu got married, they didn't do these things.

After the meal started, Zhou Zheng was pulled to the leader's table by Director Yang.

There were eight people at the table, including Zhou Zheng.

Director of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill - Yang Weimin;

Zeng Guoqiang, director of Sanxin Meat Processing Plant;

Director of Dongcheng Brick and Stone Factory—Zhong Shimin;

Zou Wenyuan, the logistics section chief of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;

Liao Xuebing, the head of the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;

Deputy Director of the Grain Bureau - Sun Hongtao;

Director of the Food Bureau——Wang Guofu.

Zhou Zheng was sandwiched between Yang Weimin and Wang Guofu, and greeted everyone present with a smile.

Yet he did not feel out of place. After all, Zhou Zheng also had his own identity: the actual controller of the "Yanhe Gang", an employee of the military control compound, the originator of the "healing pills", and so on.

No matter which ID card you use, you are qualified to sit at the same table with these people.

But this scene surprised the residents of the compound.

They simply didn't understand why Zhou Zheng could sit with the leader, and they all looked at him with envy.

That’s right, it’s just envy, but not much awe.

They all thought that Zhou Zheng was able to sit at this table because of Yang Weimin's relationship, which was really ignorant.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Zheng is not the same kind of person as them, so there is nothing to worry about.

The banquet was over.

Zhong Shimin took Zhou Zheng's hand and said, "Boss Zhou, I heard that you have some different elixirs..."

He heard what Yang Weimin said, but he didn't want to offend Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng understood after looking at Zhong Shimin's expression.

He immediately exchanged it for an "Aphrodisiac Pill" in the system mall.

"Brother Zhong, yes, this is it. However, you can only take it at night when your sister-in-law is at home. You know..."

In order to fit the image, Zhou Zheng told Zhong Shimin implicitly how to use the elixir.

Zhong Shimin naturally understood what Zhou Zheng meant. He took the pill and smiled meaningfully, then took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng felt the thickness of the coin and felt something was wrong, so he said immediately, "Brother Zhong, you gave me too much."

The "Aphrodisiac Pill" requires 200 points in the system mall, so Zhou Zheng sold it for 400 yuan.

Zhong Shimin chuckled.

"Not much, not much. The rest will be used as a meal for Brother Zhou."
