Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Heartbroken, He Yuzhu put his father's affairs behind him and spent two days happily in Baocheng with his wife and children. Only after they had enough fun did they take a bus back to Sijiucheng.

During this period, He Daqing did not move at all. It was not known whether he had forgotten about his son or was entangled by the White Widow and could not get away.

Anyway, the two sides did not see each other again until He Yuzhu and his family boarded the train to leave Baocheng.

The return journey was another tiring one. As the sun set, He Yuzhu and his family finally returned to the yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, neighbors came over to talk to me.

"Silly Zhu, I'm back from defending the city.

How about Baocheng? I heard that the donkey meat hotpot there is delicious. Have you tried it?

Have you seen your dad?

Why doesn't your father go back to Sijiu City with you?"

The neighbors kept asking questions one after another, and the yard seemed to have turned into a chicken and duck market, full of noise and no peace.

Due to many factors, traveling far away is very troublesome in this era.

Many people may never leave the city where they live in their entire lives.

Therefore, they are quite curious about the outside world and want to know as much information as possible so that they can brag to outsiders after dinner.

He Yuzhu knew that most of his neighbors had no ill intentions, and he was happy to brag to them. However, after traveling for several hours, he was tired and had no mood to chat with them.

He responded with a few words and then walked through the crowd with his wife and children back home.

As soon as He Yuzhu left, the neighbors lost their target and dispersed one after another, except for the two managers who stayed where they were and were not in a hurry to leave.

“Oh, I really envy these cadres.

They even have time to travel with their families, unlike us, who work themselves to death and don’t dare to rest for a day.”

Liu Haizhong looked indignant and said some sarcastic words.

He was very jealous when He Yuzhu became the canteen director.

Now that He Yuzhu is enjoying his life by relying on his cadre status, he is even more unhappy and even a little angry.

To put it bluntly, Liu Haizhong just can't stand seeing others living better than him.

He especially couldn't bear to see youngsters like He Yuzhu living a better life than him.

Liu Haizhong worked diligently in the steel mill for more than ten years, but he couldn't even get a small cadre. Why did He Yuzhu become the canteen director as soon as he entered the factory, climbing above him? It was so unfair.

"Old Liu, please stop talking nonsense.

Zhuzi went to Baocheng to talk to his father about something. He was going there to do serious business, not to have fun.

Besides, if you want to go on a long trip, you can also ask for leave from the factory."

Yi Zhonghai retorted coldly.

If the deaf old lady hadn't given in and stopped making a fuss a few days ago, Liu Haizhong wouldn't even have been able to keep his position as the manager.

For someone like this who can't even get along well with his neighbors, he still wants to be a cadre. He is simply dreaming.

"Old Yi, you said it lightly.

No salary deduction for taking leave.

Besides, if I delay work, will I still be able to get an excellent evaluation at the end of the year?

Shazhu, the canteen director, was out for a few days and nothing happened. How can he be the same as us?"

As long as the third person in charge of the courtyard is not chosen, the conflict between Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong will become more and more intense.

Now no matter what Yi Zhonghai says, Liu Haizhong will argue with him.

vice versa.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai’s level is relatively high, and he always tries his best to stand on the moral high ground and suppress Liu Haizhong.

In repeated confrontations, Yi Zhonghai's advantage expanded, and the neighbors in the united courtyard were already showing signs of isolating Liu Haizhong.

If there were no accidents, Yi Zhonghai's victory seemed unshakable.

But Liu Haizhong is not a pushover. He will not give up resistance until the dust settles.

“If you have any opinions, you can report them to the factory.

Is it fun to say bad things about others behind their backs? "

Yi Zhonghai used the same old trick again and provoked Liu Haizhong with words.

Last time, Liu Haizhong couldn't stand the provocation and went to cause trouble for the deaf old lady, which led to him getting into trouble.

If Liu Haizhong acted impulsively again and caused trouble for He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai would win without any effort.

"Humph."

Liu Haizhong was furious for a moment and wanted to protest, but when he thought of his previous failure, he suppressed his anger, calmed down, and left without saying a word.

……

Unable to argue or fight, Liu Haizhong was completely at a disadvantage in the struggle.

He was so angry that he wanted to go home and beat his child to vent his anger. Halfway there, he suddenly had an idea and turned around and headed towards the front yard.

The general trend cannot be defied. Liu Haizhong alone will definitely not be able to defeat Yi Zhonghai.

If you want to compete with Yi Zhonghai, you must introduce new forces.

That is the third manager.

Only when the three managers exist at the same time and are involved with each other can the power structure in the courtyard be stabilized, avoid being one-sided, and stop Yi Zhonghai's expansion momentum.

In this way, Liu Haizhong could take a breath and take advantage of the opportunity to recuperate in order to compete with Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong had already considered the candidate for the third manager.

There are more than a hundred people and more than twenty families in the courtyard, but not many people are really useful.

If you limit the scope further to the front yard, the options are even smaller.

There are relatively few residents in the front yard, and only Yan Bugui has some ability.

It’s just that what Yan Bugui did some time ago was so disgusting that he completely lost the support of the people. It is impossible for him to be reinstated in a short period of time.

Besides, Yan Bugui was driven out of office by Liu Haizhong himself. It is impossible for Liu Haizhong to slap himself in the face and then help him get back on his feet.

So Liu Haizhong quickly locked on his target and knocked on Li Chengshi's door.

"Second uncle, why are you here?"

Li Chengshi was a little surprised when Liu Haizhong suddenly came to visit him, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart unconsciously.

Li Chengshi lives in the front yard and doesn't often interact with Liu Haizhong who lives in the back yard, so they are not very familiar with each other.

In addition, Liu Haizhong caused a scandal in the courtyard by beating an old man a few days ago, so his reputation is not very good.

Li Chengshi naturally wouldn't like the other party.

Of course, even though he didn't like him, Li Chengshi still acted politely on the surface. He didn't want to provoke this plague god Liu Haizhong.

"Li Chengshi, I have something I want to discuss with you.

To make a long story short, our hospital should have three managers.

However, after Yan Bugui left his post, the position of the third uncle has been uncertain.

There are five households in the front yard, and apart from Yan Bugui, you are the most capable.

I would like to recommend you to be the third uncle in the hospital, what do you think? "

Liu Haizhong didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.

The manager is not a high-ranking official, but he has a high say in the courtyard.

Except for He Yuzhu, no one else wants to be the boss.

Recommending Li Chengshi is an open conspiracy and there is no need to hide it.

Li Chengshi was slightly startled, then sneered, "Second Master, you are joking. How can I be qualified to be the manager? There are many capable people in the courtyard, you can go find them."

Li Chengshi's heart was slightly moved, but he couldn't figure out Liu Haizhong's intention, so he didn't dare to agree easily and could only pretend to be humble and refuse.

"I was serious.

Our courtyard has three entrances, with an uncle in charge of each of the front, middle and back yards. This is how we achieve a balance.

The middle courtyard and the back courtyard already have a manager, the only thing missing is one for the front courtyard.

Besides you, who else can be of use in the front yard? "
