Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"How much is a bottle of Liu Guozheng soda?"

Three people came just after the business opened at noon. Liu Guozheng knew two of them, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng, and he was not familiar with the other one, who should be a colleague from the steel mill.

"Two cents,"

"So expensive?"

This is what Yan Jiecheng said. For the Yan family, only things that are free are considered cheap.

"Yan Jiecheng, it's not you who's treating us, so what's the difference between expensive and cheap?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's distressed look, Sha Zhu looked down on him completely, thinking that the whole family, young and old, were all stingy people.

"Silly Zhu, Cui Dake is an honest man, I don't want him to be cheated by others."

Liu Guozheng was shocked by this simple sentence. Nan Yi's mortal enemy finally showed up.

This is not an ordinary person. You can see unpleasant characteristics such as shrewdness, sophistication, snobbery, and selfishness in him. He is a person who will do anything for his own benefit, even hurting others.

He appeared on TV for only a few episodes but he rose to become a small leader, which showed that he was no ordinary person. He portrayed the role of flattering the superiors and bullying the subordinates to perfection.

I just don't know how Cui Dake got mixed up with Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng.

"Yan Jiecheng, are you itching for your legs or your mouth? We are open for business, how can it be considered cheating? If you don't tell me the truth today, I will send you to the police station, do you believe it?"

Liu Guozheng was unhappy with what Yan Jiecheng said. Damn, what does it mean to be cheated by others? You can choose not to buy it if it is too expensive, but you can't make false statements.

"Liu Guozheng, you're selling this soda for a high price and you're not allowed to tell me?"

"I clearly marked the price, what did I lie to you about?"

"You're selling it for more than the Arctic Ocean, you're just cheating people."

I don’t know what’s wrong with Yan Jiecheng. Didn’t he see that Sha Zhu took several steps back?

"Jiang Ping, teach him how to behave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng's eyes blurred. After a crisp sound, Yan Jiecheng felt a burning pain on the left side of his cheek.

"You, you dare to hit me?"

Yan Jiecheng covered his face and looked at Jiang Ping in disbelief as if nothing had happened.

"I don't even need to look at the time when I hit you."

"Yan Jiecheng, this slap is to let you know what you can and cannot say."

Liu Guozheng waved his hand and Jiang Ping turned back to the gatehouse.

"Don't leave. You want to leave after you beat someone up?"

Seeing Jiang Ping leave, Yan Jiecheng was unwilling, but he only said it, but he didn't move at all. He didn't dare to.

"You are rebelling, lawless, lawless. You dare to attack the workers in broad daylight. You are so brave. Do you believe me? I will shut you down."

Just like in the TV show, Cui Dake jumped up when he saw Yan Jiecheng got slapped in the face, looking very stern with his eyes wide open.

Seeing Cui Dake like this, Sha Zhu took a few steps back.

"Comrade Shazhu, what are you doing? Are you trying to draw a line between yourself and our working class?"

I have to say that Cui Dake is really a talented person. He is very good at framing people.

"Liu Guozheng, he's new here, you should be magnanimous, don't bother with him."

What else could Sha Zhu do? Cui Dake was good at talking, especially at flattering, and he had some skills. Today, he sent a pig to the steel mill, which caught Li Huaide's attention and won his appreciation. He made a class transition, got rid of his peasant identity, and became a worker that everyone envied in this era. He became a city dweller and ate commercial grain.

Cui Dake became a purchaser for the small canteen, specializing in purchasing unplanned materials, especially pork. After all, the new village still provides the most fresh fish, mutton and beef. The most popular pork is the least available, only available in two or three months. Li Huaide is eager to open up new sources of pork. The current steel rolling mill completed its expansion this year and officially squeezed into the ranks of large factories with 10,000 employees. The demand for pork is huge.

Cui Dake was hired as an exception, skipping the internship stage and becoming a regular employee. He was assigned a house, a back house in Courtyard 95. Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng took advantage of the noon time to help Cui Dake clean up the house.

"Silly, do you know what you are talking about?"

It was true that Sha Zhu came up from behind, but what he said made Cui Dake extremely unhappy.

"Dake, I won't let you treat us today, so please stop talking."

Sha Zhu really has a lot of grievances. He can't afford to offend either side, especially Liu Guozheng. He is scared when he thinks about the time when Liu Guohao lifted him up with one hand in the cafeteria last year.

Even though Cui Dake just came today, you still can't afford to offend him. You should know that Sha Zhu has already been punished. Besides, Cui Dake is even better at flattering than Xu Damao in the past. Maybe one day he will go to Li Huaide to complain about you.

"No, no matter who comes today, it won't work. You must apologize and reflect on your actions in front of us."

Seeing that Liu Guozheng didn't say anything, Cui Dake became more excited, determined to achieve his goal.

"Yes, if it doesn't work, we'll tell Deputy Director Li."

"Yan Jiecheng, you are ready now, right? Didn't Li Huaide just say something to you today? Do you still remember your last name? Where is this? Is Xiwang New Village Office a place where you can act wild?"

"Silly Zhu, don't give me that. I was beaten, and I am right. Even if I report it to the police station, I am still right."

"Yan Jiecheng, you still don't learn your lesson. Last time you caused your whole family to have their legs broken. Now you still dare to act tough?"

"Silly Zhu, you don't understand. Last time was last time. This time I'm sure I'm right."

Sha Zhu's words are really impressive, but Yan Jiecheng seems to be getting more and more stupid. We know that he had his legs broken last time, but if we don't know him, we would think he had a brain injury last time.

"The three people in front, if you want to argue, go to the side and don't bother us shopping."

"That's right, these three grown men have no sense at all."

"Yes, if you don't want to buy anything, go to the side. I'm in a hurry and I have guests waiting at home."

"After we buy the things, you can make as much noise as you want, and no one will bother you."

"Hey, I'm different from you. I'm not in a hurry. I just like to watch the fun."

"Get lost too. If you don't want to buy anything, get out of here."

"You, you, you, I won't argue with you."

"Hahaha, you coward."

"That's right, you're just watching the fun, just don't be scared to tears later."

"Hahaha"

“…”

The people who came to buy things one after another were unwilling. They originally wanted to go early, but ended up meeting three people who wanted to cause trouble.

"Brother Cui, let's make room for them first so as not to delay their shopping."

With more and more people behind him, Yan Jiecheng was naturally afraid of arousing public outrage. If he got beaten up then, it would really not be worth it. So he simply pulled Cui Dake aside.

Sha Zhu also came over to persuade the two to be quiet. Didn't you see that Li Dabao and Xu Damao had picked up their stools? Now they just had to wait for Liu Guozheng's order.
