Siheyuan: Building a strong dragon country on the eve of the anti-eagle war

"Old Lou, stop trying to persuade me."

Director Yang waved his hand gently, with a hint of firmness in his tone.

"I understand some truths. I will take what is mine, but I will never touch anything that is not mine, even if it is just a penny. This is my principle."

Seeing this, Director Lou sighed helplessly, "Okay, if you need anything in the future, feel free to find me!"

Director Yang nodded and responded calmly: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Zheng Guo rode his bicycle and wandered aimlessly in the factory.

The heaviness of the bonus seemed to still remain in his hand, causing an inexplicable emotion to surge in his heart.

This bonus is too much. I wonder if other people feel the same way? Or is this special treatment from Mr. Lou?

And the last bulging envelope, how much money was in it? Zheng Guo was full of curiosity, and he wanted to find a hidden place to open it and count it immediately.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the small parts processing workshop.

Zheng Guo smiled, stopped his bike and planned to go see his master.

It's been a while since we last met. I wonder if you are still in good health?

"Hey, Xiao Zheng is back!" As soon as he entered the workshop, someone greeted him enthusiastically.

Zheng Guo responded one by one, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Well, Master Li, I'll come back and take a look." He responded with a gentle smile on his face.

"Then take a good look at it. I'm going to get busy now."

Master Li nodded, turned around and continued to work.

Zheng Guo walked along the way, greeting every acquaintance he met.

He came to the place where the master often stayed, but found that he was not there, and even the enamel pot that the master usually placed aside was missing.

Strange, where did the master go? Zheng Guo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He found his third senior brother Zhao Dali and asked him, and learned that his master had been in poor health recently and had asked for leave to rest at home.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zheng Guo frowned slightly, feeling a little worried, "Third Brother, do you know where Master's home is? I want to go see him."

Zhao Dali nodded. "Yes, yes. The master has missed you a lot during this period. He keeps asking why you haven't come back yet. I'll tell you where his home is."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Zheng Guo smiled gratefully. "By the way, Third Brother, I will be transferred to a new position after the New Year. I may not be able to come back to see you often."

Zhao Dali showed a disappointed look after hearing this. "Junior brother, are you really leaving? What will we do if you leave?"

Zheng Guo smiled helplessly, "Third Brother, don't worry. I will try to come back to see you more often. If it really doesn't work, I will just pack up and take the master away."

Zhao Dali laughed when he heard this, but then shook his head. "That's not good. The master is the backbone of our workshop. Not to mention that Director Lu disagrees, we are also reluctant to let the master go."

Zheng Guo smiled again and said nothing more. He knew that some people were so important. You might feel annoyed when they were around, but once they were gone, you would feel like something was missing. This was why they were indispensable and vital.

"Third Brother, I'm going to go see the Master first. We'll talk later."

"Wait a minute, Junior Brother. It's like this. In previous years, my fourth and fifth brothers and I agreed to go to pay New Year's greetings to our master on the third day of the Lunar New Year. How about including you in the group?"

"Okay. Third Brother, I'll be leaving now."

Zheng Guo left the Red Star Steel Mill and went to his master's home.

On the way, he happened to pass by a market, so he bought a pork hind leg, a lamb leg, ten pounds of beef, two chickens and two fish.

After a while, Zheng Guo brought some things to the large courtyard where his master lived.

As soon as I entered the yard, I was about to ask the master which house he lived in.

Then I heard the thunderous noise of women shouting in a room, and the sound of men whispering to each other.

Well, if the voice behind isn’t the master’s, then who else could it be?

I didn’t expect the master’s status at home. Hehe, he is also a henpecked man.

Jungkook stopped his bike and walked over to knock on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking so loudly on the door in broad daylight? I am not deaf, old man."

Master Xu opened the door cursing, and the moment he saw Zheng Guo, his angry face immediately turned into a kind smile.

Even the voice suddenly became gentle.

"You, why are you here?"

Master Xu looked at the things on the back seat of Zheng Guo's bicycle and immediately frowned.

"You bastard, why do you come to my house? What do you mean by bringing things with you? What's the matter? Do you look down on me, an old man?

Take the things back later, otherwise, don't come to my house again.

Come on, go inside and have some hot tea."

After saying this, Master Xu moved aside, making way for the other person, a smile on his face again.

Zheng Guo smiled and shook his head. The master's childish temper seemed to be getting worse.

But it's really good for yourself.

"Master, is the master's wife home?"

Zheng Guo deliberately raised his voice when talking about his master's wife.

"I'm here. You, you must be Xiao Zheng."

An old woman came to the door and pushed Master Xu away.

"Hey, you're so bold, bitch!"

"You old fool, you're blocking the door because you don't want Xiao Zheng to come in.

Xiao Zheng, come on, come in quickly."

The old woman smiled kindly and walked forward to hold Zheng Guo's hand.

"Wait, Master's wife, these are the New Year gifts I bought for you and Master."

The old woman then looked at the back seat of the bicycle and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Xiao, Xiao Zheng, you bought so much, who can eat it all?"

"Don't bring it in. You can take it back later."

Master Xu's voice came from behind.

The old woman's face trembled and she turned around and rolled her eyes at Master Xu.

“Master’s wife, look, my master bullies me.

I came all the way here to bring you two New Year's gifts, and you want me to take them back. What do you mean by that?

Besides, I have been eating steamed buns every day since I started working. You two elders treat me like your own son. There is nothing wrong with me buying New Year's goods for you two.

Master's wife, you have to take good care of my master."

After Zheng Guo finished speaking, he laughed happily.

The old woman also had a smile on her face, and the more she looked at Zheng Guo, the more she liked him.

But he only laughed a few times, then turned around with a stern face and glared at Master Xu.

"I say, you old man, do you have the nerve to refuse my disciple's kindness?

Since you refused this time, will you let Xiao Zheng come to our house in the future?

Besides, if you accept the things, I will make them later and give some extra to Xiao Zheng, then that's it.

What's the matter? Are you still counting on Xiao Zheng to make the New Year's goods by hand?

You are getting old, and your brain is becoming less and less useful."

"You, you stinky bitch, you have no right to speak.

If you keep doing this..."

Master Xu pointed at the old woman, but he had no more harsh words to say. It was obvious that the master's wife was the one in charge.
