Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Moreover, Zhong Shan and Director Li are closely connected. Although they are not on the same boat, if something happens to one of them, it will have a significant impact on the other.

But when Director Li opened the box, he took a breath of cold air. Even though Director Li had seen and eaten before, his pupils were shocked when he saw the situation in the box. There were four golden yellow croakers in the box. When the situation was relatively stable before, one yellow croaker could be exchanged for more than 3000 yuan on the black market. Now the situation has changed suddenly, one can be exchanged for 4000 yuan, and four can be exchanged for more than yuan.

The sum of the embezzlement of Director Li over the years is about the same. The movement has just started, and they have just gained power, so they have not made a lot of money. Zhong Shan's protection fee this time is also a big sum. It is the largest sum of money Director Li has ever seen. Before, his money was only scattered, not as big as this time!

After Zhong Shan left Director Li's house, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he took over the house, he thought that one day it might be exposed, but he was still greedy and took it. Today, it was Director Li who handled Lou Bancheng's assets, which filled a loophole for him. The only thing left was the transaction of materials.

The trading of materials cannot be stopped at present, but it will be soon. As Director Li's position becomes more and more important and the power in his hands becomes greater and greater, his attention will slowly shift away from such a small matter of materials. These materials of unknown origin are a pitfall for him, and the same is true for Director Li. Once he gives up such a useless piece of cake, he will have nothing to worry about.

Zhong Shan originally had no ambitions, and was a go-with-the-flow person. It might be because his mentality was unstable when he first traveled through time. A modern person who traveled through time to the 60s was out of tune with the people here. It felt like he was playing a game, doing whatever he wanted without thinking about the consequences. He had no sense of immersion.

Now as Zhongshan gradually adapts to this era, he has to pay for his past impulsiveness and fill the holes he dug for himself one by one.

After returning home, Zhongshan felt much more relaxed after taking off a burden. The young couple had nothing to do, so they went to He Yuzhu's house to see what was going on. Zhuzi's house had been almost repaired, and there were still some fine work to be done, and it would be done. He Yuzhu was a man who could not hide things in his heart. Seeing his house changing day by day, He Yuzhu could not help but smile as soon as he returned to the yard. He smiled at everyone he looked at, even when he saw Second Uncle Liu Haizhong, he would smile and praise, "You are so plump!" Of course, whether Second Uncle was happy to hear his compliment was another matter!

He Yuzhu's house was decorated according to Zhongshan's house, so it is basically the same as Zhongshan's house, except that his house is the main house, which is taller and larger than Zhongshan's. Moreover, one side of Zhongshan's house is a study and a small bedroom, and He Yuzhu's house does not use a study, so two bedrooms are separated on the other side. In this way, at least there is no need to worry about having two children. He Yushui also has a room, and with the house for the deaf old lady and the old man in the future, no matter how many children He Yuzhu has, there will be enough for them to live in. He is definitely a winner in life!

We had dinner at Zhongshan's house in the evening. As Song Lili and Qin Jingru's relationship became better and better, the relationship between the two families became closer than before.

They often eat together. When He Yuzhu makes something delicious, he will invite Zhongshan and his wife to his house for dinner. When Zhongshan and his wife are hungry, they will invite He Yuzhu to their house for dinner. Of course, the dishes are all cooked by He Yuzhu.

The next day was Song's father's birthday. After get off work in the evening, the couple returned to Song's house. Zhongshan brought a chess set as a birthday present for Song's father. It was an ivory chess set that he had bought in the Pigeon Market before. However, there were countless antiques and calligraphy and paintings in Zhongshan's space now, so he didn't care about these as much as before.

Originally, he had planned to exchange materials for antiques with Director Li during a special period, but now Zhong Shan is no longer planning to do so. Now he only thinks about how to fill the hole he dug for himself, and doesn't care about anything else.

When they arrived at the Song family's house, Song's father and mother were already at home, and Sister Liu had already prepared the food and was ready to serve. When the Zhongshan couple entered the house, Song Lili saw her father and shouted, "Dad, happy birthday!"

Zhong Shan followed suit and said, "Dad, happy birthday. This is a gift I specially picked for you. Do you like it?"

Father Song took it and saw that it was a chess set. He opened the chess box and saw that the chess pieces were shiny and glossy, with a fine texture and very comfortable to touch. As a chess lover, he liked it immediately when he saw a good chess set. "It looks very exquisite. Is it ivory? It's quite rare nowadays. Xiao Zhong is thoughtful. Next time I play chess with those old guys, I will use it. Those old guys will be so jealous of me, ha~"

Seeing that his father-in-law liked it, Zhong Shan thought he had made the right choice: "Yes, it is indeed made of ivory, and the chessboard is also made of huanghuali wood. I collected it before. Dad, you like chess, so giving it to you is like finding a good owner for it. It has never been used in my hands, so it seems like a waste of talent!"

Although I know that he is flattering me, I still feel very comfortable when my brother-in-law flatters me. If someone else flatters me, it may be a waste of time, but if it is my brother-in-law flattering me, I just have to accept it; especially when someone praises my hobbies, it touches my heart immediately.

After dinner, Song's father forced him to play a few games of chess that Zhongshan had just given him. It was already dark when they got home. When the young couple got home, they had just finished cleaning up when someone knocked on the door.

Zhong Shan went to open the door and saw that it was an old man named Yi Zhonghai. "It's you, old man. Come in. What's the matter with you so late at night?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't sit down after entering the house: "There is something I want to tell you, Xiao Zhong, do you have any relatives? Our steel rolling mill recently transferred a deputy section chief, also surnamed Zhong, named Zhong Dahai. I think he looks a lot like you. That's why I wanted to talk to you when I got home from get off work to see if he might be your relative. No one was home the whole time, so I came here when I saw the lights were on!"

Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Zhong Shan fell into deep thought. In the original owner's memory, Zhong's father really said that he had a younger brother named Zhong Zhensheng. The two brothers were separated during the war years. The elder brother Zhong Zhenmin fled to Sijiu City, and no one knew where the younger brother Zhong Zhensheng went, and no one even knew whether he was alive or dead.

This is the only relative I remember. I have never heard of any relatives on my mother Liu Guichun's side.

The Zhong Dahai mentioned by the uncle had just been demobilized. Could he be his relative? Is it just a coincidence?

But since an old man came so late and specifically told me, I have to go and take a look!

Thinking of this, Zhong Shan said to Yi Zhonghai: "Thank you, uncle. I remember hearing from my father that he did have a younger brother, but they got separated during the war. I just don't know if he is my uncle's descendant. I'll see if I can go to the steel mill someday. If it's true, I'll have another relative."
