Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

After the meeting, Lin's father and mother returned to their home. Lin's mother couldn't help but ask, "Old Lin, which nephew of yours is going to the city to find a job? How come I don't know about it?"

Father Lin smiled bitterly and replied, "Don't say you don't know. I actually only found out after I called yesterday. For this, I have to pick a nephew from the village."

"what?"

Mother Lin was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"It was your good son who asked me to do it. When he left, he told me that as long as there was anything related to the house in the courtyard, I had to find a way to tell him." Father Lin said a little depressed.

When she heard that it was her proudest son who ordered it, Lin's mother immediately changed her attitude: "Just do it if your son asks you to do it."

Father Lin smiled bitterly and said mysteriously: "Do you know what he said?"

"What did you say?"

"He said he wanted to buy the entire Red Star Courtyard!"

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Knowing that it was Liu Haizhong coming, they immediately shut up.

When Mr. Lin opened the door and saw the person coming, he was immediately surprised.

"Lao Liu, what are you doing? Just come to my house to discuss something, why are you being so polite?"

It turned out that Liu Haizhong came here by himself, but he did not come empty-handed. He was holding two large bags of mountain products that he got from somewhere.

"I'm not being polite. I just thought that I haven't been to your house for many years, so I just brought some cheap things with me."

Liu Haizhong said you're welcome, but when he entered the Lin family, he behaved very reserved and didn't know where to look.

Lin's father and mother looked at each other and thought that they had often seen this kind of scene at home before Lin Zongxuan went to Yi Province.

Liu Haizhong doesn't seem to be here to negotiate a price, but rather to ask someone to do him a favor.

After a few people sat down, Liu Haizhong came up and started to flatter them, saying one compliment after another for free.

"Old Lin, your family is now the most distinguished in the Siheyuan. No, let alone the Siheyuan, your family is the most distinguished in the entire Qingyun Hutong!" (Giving a thumbs up)

"Even when your Director Lin was little, I felt that he would definitely be the most promising. Just think about it, there is no child in the entire compound who can do better than him. If he can't succeed, who will?"

Father Lin recalled what Liu Haizhong had said when he scolded Xiao Lin Zongxuan, and nodded silently.

"Your son has a bright future. He is a factory director now and will be a department director or even a minister in the future!"

Father Lin saw that Liu Haizhong was exaggerating, so he stopped him in a hurry: "Okay, okay, Lao Liu, stop praising him. It's getting late. Let's talk about your two small houses."

Liu Haizhong then nodded with a lingering feeling and held up three fingers.

Father Lin thought that this was a fair price, and said with a smile: "Three hundred is three hundred, let's sign a contract later, and I'll give you the money."

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong shook his head and said, "Lao Lin, it's not three hundred."

Father Lin frowned, thinking that it couldn't be three thousand yuan, so he asked tentatively, "Three hundred and three?"

"Don't guess, Lao Lin, it's three."

Without waiting for Lin's father to react, Liu Haizhong said earnestly, "Old Lin, I won't hide it from you. I can give you these two houses for free. I just want to ask your Director Lin for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Father Lin immediately shook his head and refused, "Old Liu, my child is now in Yi Province. Not to mention that he can't get in touch with the affairs of Sijiu City, even if he can, we can't promise anything for him."

Liu Haizhong said hurriedly: "I'm talking about Yi Province. Lao Lin, my boss is in Shijiazhuang now, and I want to transfer him back."

Father Lin said with a smile: "Old Liu, my son is just a small factory director. He is not the mayor or the governor. Your eldest son is not in the same unit as him. How can he transfer people back?"

The two of them argued for a while, and Liu Haizhong asked disappointedly: "Is there really no way?"

Father Lin nodded heavily.

Seeing his hopes dashed, Liu Haizhong stood up and said lazily, "Okay, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."

Father Lin hurriedly asked: "Are you still selling your house?"

"Sell it, so those two ungrateful bastards won't keep thinking about it. I'll pay you the price you asked for."

,,,,,,

After Liu Haizhong left, Lin's father and mother could not help but look at each other.

Mother Lin said with emotion: "I knew Liu Haizhong was partial before, but I didn't expect him to be so partial. It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the youngest son. There is no throne in his family that needs an eldest son to inherit."

"The main thing is that only the eldest brother Liu Guangqi in his family is somewhat competitive, the others are all trash."

Father Lin sighed and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. I think the Liu family and the Yan family will definitely have trouble in the future."

The two chatted for a while and just as they were about to go to bed, they suddenly heard a slight knock on the door.

Father Lin thought that Liu Haizhong had returned because he was not giving up, so he opened the door and said, "Old Liu, let's talk about it another day. There's no rush for this kind of thing... Ah, is it Damao?"

Xu Damao raised the cigarettes and alcohol in his hand with a smile and asked, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Liu just left, right? It seems that I came at the right time."

Father Lin welcomed Xu Damao into the house, then closed the door tightly. He frowned and asked, "Damo, it's so late, what do you want to say now?"

"Why do you have to talk about this at night?"

Seeing that Father Lin was getting a little impatient, Xu Damao asked directly, "Uncle Lin, is your family saving a house?"

Father Lin looked at Xu Damao in surprise and denied it flatly: "What are you talking about? There are only a few people in our family. Why do we need to save a house?"

Xu Damao looked at Lin's father's reaction, nodded, and said with a smile: "I just said it casually. Actually, I want to sell the house and want to ask you if you want it."

Father Lin asked in confusion: "Are you talking about the temporary house in front of your house? How long have you built it? Why are you selling it?"

Xu Damao shook his head and said solemnly: "Uncle Lin, you are wrong. Not only the room at the door, but also the big room I live in now, I am going to sell it too.

Whether you want me to or not, I will definitely move out in the future."

Father Lin asked curiously, "Why do you want to move out? Isn't it good to live in this courtyard?"

"I can live in this courtyard, but my child can't."

Xu Damao said with emotion: "Uncle Lin, let me tell you the truth. Director Lin has been promoted higher and higher over the years. People in the hospital are polite on the surface, but in fact, they say all kinds of things behind his back.

Of course, no matter what they say, which family wouldn't be envious and stamp their feet? I am actually the same as the second uncle. I also like to be an official, otherwise I would not have married a woman from the Lou family.

My life is almost over, but my son has excellent grades. He will definitely be admitted to university and become a cadre when he graduates. I will definitely live in a tube-shaped building with my son."
