Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After staying at Yu Li's house for the whole afternoon and having dinner, Zhang Renkang saw that it was already past six o'clock. The road was also dark at this time. He stood up and said to Yu's father and mother

"Uncle, Auntie, it's getting late. I'm going back first."

Then asked Yu Li

"Lily, are you going there tomorrow or are we going back together tonight?"

Yu Li had just tasted the taste this morning, and she had no discomfort in the afternoon. She didn't know whether it was the result of the spiritual spring water and the spareribs stewed with the spiritual spring water that Zhang Renkang gave her. Yu Li thought that her fighting ability was good enough, so she stood up and said

"Dad, Mom, let's go get the certificate early in the morning. I won't be home tonight."

Yu's father and mother knew what was going on, but they were happy to see it happen. They walked the two of them out of the alley. Zhang Renkang held a flashlight behind Yu Li to illuminate the road. The cold wind was howling in the dark city at night. The sky had been gloomy all afternoon, and it looked like it would snow heavily at night. There was no one on the road for a long time, only a few policemen who patrolled from time to time. When they saw the two people riding their bikes, they didn't ask any questions. They checked their documents and let them go.

After finally returning to the courtyard, Zhang Renkang was surprised that the courtyard was not closed today. Pushing his bicycle with Yu Li into the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui trotting out of the house. Seeing Zhang Renkang, he smiled and said,

"Renkang, you've kept the Third Master waiting for so long."

Zhang Renkang wondered

"Uncle, why are you waiting for me?"

Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said with a smile

"Renkang, look at this Jie Cheng who worked in the unloading department all day. When he came back, he fell on the bed and couldn't move. Can you see if you can move Jie Cheng to another place?"

Zhang Renkang laughed in anger. This Yan Bugui was too calculating. He said

"Uncle, do you think I own the steel mill? I can let anyone work wherever I want."

"I am just a kitchen manager and I don't have that much power"

Yan Bugui said with a smile

"How about letting Jie Cheng work in your kitchen?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"You think too highly of me. How can I assign people casually? You have to ask the factory manager for this."

As he was about to push the cart away, Yan Bugui quickly moved forward when he saw Zhang Renkang was about to leave. Zhang Renkang looked at Yan Bugui and said to Yu Li:

"Lily, go home first and light the fire. It's too cold outside."

Yu Li nodded, glanced at Yan Bugui, ignored him, and pushed her bicycle into the backyard.

Zhang Renkang looked at Yan Bugui and said

"Uncle, you asked me to help you check, and I have checked for you. If Yan Jiecheng can't do it, then he can go home and rest. What else can I do? The factory is not hiring any more people now, and Yan Jiecheng can't do it in the workshop, either."

Yan Bugui said with a smile

"So I'm not just watching. Look, Renkang, Yan Jiecheng is already a temporary worker in your factory today. It doesn't matter where he works as a temporary worker. You can ask him to go to the kitchen."

Zhang Renkang said

"Uncle San, don't try to trick me. Don't say I don't have the right to transfer people. Even if I did, I wouldn't do it. How can we carry out our work in the future? How can we work in a factory where everyone is learning and doing the same thing?"

"Uncle, are you asking me to abuse my power for personal gain?"

Yan Bugui said indignantly

"Renkang, what you said is a bit serious, isn't it? Didn't you arrange Yu Li to work in the factory?"

Zhang Renkang glanced at Yan Bugui coldly and said indifferently

"Yu Li joined the factory on her own initiative. If you have any objections, report me."

Zhang Renkang swung the handlebars and walked away from Yan Bugui to the backyard. Yan Bugui saw Zhang Renkang leaving and spat on the ground in anger, saying indignantly:

"I don't believe that you didn't arrange for Yu Li to go in. Why are you pretending here?"

He angrily closed the gate of the courtyard and went home. As soon as he entered the house, Third Aunt, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiecheng, who was lying on the kang, also tilted their heads and looked at Yan Bugui. Third Aunt asked

"Dad, how about it? Can Zhang Renkang help me move the eldest son to the kitchen?"

Yan Jiefang also said

"If my brother went to the kitchen, he could bring food home like Shazhu."

Yan Jiecheng was so tired today that he almost fell down at the gate of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill when he came out of the unloading department. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong took turns to carry him back. After they came back, Yan Bugui and his family learned from Yi Zhonghai why the unloading department had a good thing of getting a permanent job in a year.

Everyone in the unloading department has fixed quotas and tasks to perform. You can't be lazy because no one will help you. If you are lazy, your salary will be deducted for the day. Yan Jie wanted to be lazy, but he was responsible for an unloading area by himself. He was almost exhausted to death at his workstation.

When Yan Bugui heard this, he thought it was a good idea. Yan Jiecheng didn't have much meat, and the Yan family didn't have enough food every day. How could they bear this unloading? Yi Zhonghai gave a trick and asked Yan Bugui to talk to Zhang Renkang and ask Zhang Renkang to transfer Yan Jiecheng to the back kitchen. Yi Zhonghai thought that if Zhang Renkang did it, it would be abusing his power for personal gain, which would be a stain. If he didn't do it, he would definitely offend the petty-minded Yan family, and then he could win over Yan Bugui to deal with Zhang Renkang together.

Yi Zhonghai has never forgotten the idea of ​​suppressing Zhang Renkang. Otherwise, if he continues like this, how can Yi Zhonghai make a name for himself in this courtyard? Who will respect him then? How will he take care of himself in his old age? Who will take care of him when he is old?

Zhang Renkang was too lazy to care about Yi Zhonghai's thoughts. Once it got warmer, Zhang Renkang planned to clean up the main house and the backyard, and then put up a wall and let these animals play by themselves.

(Why not live in the Lou family's courtyard? First, the Lou family's assets have their sources. If the Lou family runs away, won't the higher-ups check? Where did Zhang Renkang get so much money to buy the Lou family courtyard? So the four courtyards of the Lou family were all settled by the old and young, and then returned after ten years. It's normal for Lou Huaijin to sell them to them. These people are not short of gold and silver, and as long as they don't cause trouble, the higher-ups generally won't touch them easily.)

Yan Bugui said unhappily

"What are you thinking? Zhang Renkang is such a bastard, it's strange that he can help you."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes were empty. He didn't want to go through it again. Today was the worst nightmare in his life. Not only was his shoulder rubbed, but not a single piece of flesh in his body could move.

Yan Jiefang said

"Dad, you wouldn't ask someone to do something for you without any reason, would you?"

Yan Bugui murmured

"I, I'm just trying to see if I can save some money."

Yan Jiefang said disdainfully

"You're really good, Dad. Nowadays, an apprentice should earn at least 500 yuan, and you asked Zhang Renkang to do it for you. I think it's good that he didn't beat you."

Yan Bugui was speechless

"I am his elder after all, how dare he do that?"

Yan Jiekuang, who was about ten years old, said

"Ms. Jia Zhang and the eldest master were also beaten by him many times."

Yan Bugui's face turned red and white. He had to pay 500 yuan. He only had 700 yuan in savings. This money was life-saving money.

Looking at Yan Jiefang who was paralyzed on the bed, he said

"Boss, why don't you try again tomorrow? It's only a year, right? You can get through it if you grit your teeth."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes darkened, and he didn't want to say anything to Yan Bugui anymore. This old man would rather save some money than ignore his son.

Back in the house, Zhang Renkang parked his bike, and Yu Li came out of the kitchen and said

"Yan Bugui asked you to arrange a job for Yan Jiecheng?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Yan Bugui asked me yesterday, and I recommended the unloading department to Yan Jiecheng. Who knew he would actually do it today?"

Yu Li laughed and said

"You are such a bad guy. Yan Jiecheng will be exhausted to death if he goes to the unloading department with his physique."

Yu Li often went to the warehouse to check the materials. She was familiar with the unloading department. She almost laughed to death when she knew where Yan Jiecheng went.

Zhang Renkang spread his hands and said

"This Mr. Yan is really calculating. He wants a job for free without paying a dime. He is dreaming."
