Siheyuan: The strongest godfather, the whole courtyard worships

Today, the food in each family is actually not bad, and the leftovers from lunch were divided equally among everyone, but Yan Bugui came here with a meal when he learned that Lu Yao was looking for him.

Yan Bugui poured wine for Lu Yao, said with a smile, "Xiao Lu, you are still so comfortable."

Good food and good atmosphere.

"Yes, third master, I have two things to trouble you today."

"Hey, it's a shame to say that, our family is so close." Yan Bugui said a little unhappy.

It is really an honor for the Yan family to make friends with Lu Yao. Look at how much the Yan family has benefited from Lu Yao during this time. He, Yan Pugui, loves to take advantage, but he is not someone who does not reciprocate favors.

"Okay, then I'll be blunt. The third rolling mill is buying crayfish, two thousand catties a week. They probably will come after the start of work, but cleaning the shrimp picking line is a troublesome thing..."

"So the factory asked me to arrange ten days to finish the job. I was specially responsible for processing crayfish. I paid a penny for washing a catty of crayfish, and a penny for picking a catty of shrimp thread. The total wages were 40 yuan a week, so I wanted to Your elders help find a few families with lower living standards in the courtyard, which can be regarded as helping them find part-time jobs."

Yan Bugui's eyes became brighter the more he heard it, and he said slightly excitedly: "Hey, this is a good thing, no problem, you can leave this matter to your third master with confidence."

"Well, each of the six families I help in the courtyard has a quota, and there are four quotas left, you can figure it out." Lu Yao said with a sip of wine and smiled.

Yan Bugui raised his glass quickly, and laughed loudly: "Okay, Xiaolu, you really deserve to be an outstanding young man in our academy. The third master respects you."

Is this a good thing?Great thing.

Two thousand catties, assuming that 8 people are in charge of washing and 2 people are in charge of picking, they can share 40 yuan equally, 4 yuan per person, 16 yuan a month. If I go, it will be worse than an apprentice in a rolling mill.

And it's only four days a month, the time is short, it's really not too exciting, not to mention other people, Yan Pugui himself is moved.

Of course, because of the speed of hands and feet, there must be more wages than others, so everyone washes and picks together, which is relatively fair.

Yan Bugui resolutely reserved a place for his family, either for his wife or for Yu Li.

Some people may ask, can ten people wash 2000 catties of crayfish? In fact, there are only a dozen crayfish per catty, which is really not much.

"Xiaolu, what's the second thing?" Yan Bugui asked happily.

Lu Yao smiled slightly, pointed at Qin Jingru and said, "This is my goddaughter, a girl from the Qin Family Village, the third master should know."

"I know, the second boy in my family told me." Yan Bugui nodded.

"Since my eldest daughter is here, I want to make a marriage recognition ceremony. It was you who organized it last time, so you have to come this time."

Yan Bugui smiled again, and replied: "Hey, no problem, the third master promises to make clear arrangements for you, when do you want to show it?"

Lu Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's just say Mid-Autumn Festival. I can have a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

"Hey, you are such a clever little ghost." Yan Bugui laughed dumbly, but he knew that Lu Yao would not take advantage of this.

There is less than half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no rush in terms of time.

After sending Yan Bugui away, the little ghosts finished eating, and bid farewell to Lu Yao and Qin Jingru.

chapter 68

Everyone left, only Lu Yao and Qin Jingru remained.

"Lu Yao...Daddy, I want to be a crayfish day job."

Lu Yao was stunned, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you stay at home obediently and take care of your younger brothers and sisters."

Qin Jingru pursed her lips when she heard the words, and said dissatisfied: "You look down on me? I'm very capable."

"Okay, okay, I know you can do it, you can buy vegetables every day and come back, here you go, I will ask for it when you run out." Lu Yao took out two big unity and some meat and vegetable tickets, and handed them to Qin Jingru.

"I don't want it, I have it myself." Qin Jingru shook her head, the red envelopes that Lu Yao gave last time were all with her, it was useless at all.

"Take it, this is money for grocery shopping, not pocket money." Lu Yao handed the money to Qin Jingru.

"When you come back from buying some food every day, I don't say a word, you just watch and buy it yourself. If you really want to go to work, I will arrange it for you when you are 18 years old."

"Okay then, I see." Qin Jingru took the money note unhappily and put it in his pocket.

Afterwards, Qin Jingru went to Jia's house and brought her things over, while Lu Yao spread quilts on the plank bed in the next room.

It's a little cold today, so I need to cover myself with a thin quilt at night.

……

The Yan family has a meeting again.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Yan Jiecheng asked curiously.

Yan Bugui pretended to cough dryly, and said, "Xiaolu invited me to dinner just now, and there is a very good thing for me to help."

"His father, if you have something to say, tell it quickly." The third mother said eagerly, this dead ghost just likes to whet people's appetites.

Looking at the expectant eyes of his sons and daughters, Yan Bugui said proudly: "This is not Xiaolu's cafeteria, which needs ten temporary workers to help process 2000 catties of hazi, once a week, washing a catty for a penny, and picking shrimp threads is also a fee." For a penny, besides the six families he helped, there are still four places, and I plan to keep one place, what do you think?"

The third mother's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Oh, it's a good thing, it happens that Yu Li and I can go, but his father, why do you only leave one place?"

"Yes, Dad, I can go too." Yan Jiefang said excitedly.

Yu Li didn't express her opinion, she guessed that Yan Bugui had already made a decision.

Sure enough, Yan Bugui glanced at his wife and Yan Jiefang, and said with dissatisfaction: "Haven't you heard that when the moon is full, it will lose money, and if the moon is short, it will be full? You can't be too greedy. Xiaolu trusts me, the third master, and hopes that I will take care of those people. Not a good family, you want them all? Then how can I explain to Xiaolu?"

The three mothers and Yan Jiefang looked at each other, speechless.

This is the rule of the old Yan family, you can take advantage of it, but you can't be greedy.

"Dad, why don't you just tell me what to do?" Yu Li said.

Yan Bugui smiled on his old face and said, "Our family only has one quota, my wife, either you go or Yu Li goes."

The third mother hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let Yu Li go, she is quicker and earns more."

The three mothers also want to go, but the movements of the elderly are not as fast as the young people, and it is good to earn a few cents more.

"Okay, Yu Li, what do you say?" The Yan family collectively looked at Yu Li.

It's all like this, can Yu Li still refuse?Nodding his head in agreement.

"Okay, then go to Yu Li, but Yu Li, you also know that I gave you the quota, so how about half of what you earn as living expenses for your family?"

"Dad, I don't want to take you. Yu Li finally got a job, so you just want half of it?" Yan Jiecheng complained dissatisfied.

Before getting married, he basically handed in all his salary, and after getting married, he had to spend half of it as living expenses for him and Yu Li.

Now Yu Li finally has a temporary job, and her father doesn't forget about exploitation.

"Hey, what you said is that Yu Li has the opportunity to work as a temporary worker because of the quota I left behind. You need to figure out whether there is a causal relationship." Yan Bugui raised his glasses and said.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was about to speak again, Yu Li said directly: "Okay, stop talking, I agree."

Yan Bugui nodded in satisfaction: "Boss, imitate your daughter-in-law, this is a proper behavior."

Yu Li thought helplessly, marrying into such a family is really unlucky.

After the meeting, Yan Bugui wondered which house in the courtyard was not doing so well. Speaking of which, all of them were doing so-so, but there were always a few that were particularly bad.

Except for the six families supported by Xiaolu, he chose the Qi family and Cai family in the middle courtyard, and the Guo family in the backyard.

The average monthly consumption of these three households is exactly about 5 yuan, which is quite tight.

Come to Qi's house first.

The aunt of the Qi family opened the door and saw that it was Yan Bugui, she asked strangely: "Hey, third master, is there something wrong at this late hour?"

"Sister-in-law of the Qi family, it's like this..."

After Yan Bugui finished explaining, Aunt Qi cried and said, "Thank you, Third Master, I will definitely retaliate against you in the future."

Yan Bugui jumped up in fright, did he make a mistake?I set up a job for your family, and you want to take revenge on me?

"Ah, I made a mistake, and it's to repay you." Aunt Qi quickly apologized.

Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "No need, this is Xiaolu's arrangement, and I'm just the executor."

He won't take the credit alone, that would be too inhuman.

Aunt Qi was startled, and asked anxiously: "Is it arranged by Xiaolu?"

Yan Bugui nodded, and Aunt Qi cried again: "Xiaolu is such a good person, he always thinks of our neighbors when he has good things."

Aunt Qi was really touched, because there are five people in her family, her husband is not in good health and retired early, her son took over the job, and his monthly salary is only 27.5, so their family is just on the average line.

Meat?That's still Lu Yao's fault, usually they mainly eat steamed buns, if they can get more than ten yuan a month, then the family will live a lot easier.

"Okay, don't cry, just remember that Xiaolu is good, I'm going to the next family, and your family can decide who will go when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, thank you, the third master made a special trip." Aunt Qi said gratefully.

Yan Bugui waved his hand, signaling to go back quickly.

Soon, the residents in the compound knew that Lu Yao had ten temporary workers in his hands. The content of the job was to help the third rolling mill clean the house, calculate the wages by piece, and get more for more work, and less for less work , and I only go four times a month, and I can leave work after finishing.

However, all the quotas in Lu Yao's hands have been released. The six families he helped include the Yan family, the Qi family, the Cai family, and the Guo family.

Alas, many residents feel sorry for them. They can earn more than ten yuan a month. Why can’t we have our share?

There is also the third master, you are riding a horse for self-serving, Xiaolu asked you to arrange, and you arranged to go to your own home.

Yi Zhonghai sighed when he knew it, this is the ethos that a big courtyard should have, helping the residents who live in difficulties as much as possible, alas, it's a pity that Lu Yao didn't want to get close to him.

Compared with the helpful Lu Yao, Shazhu is a piece of shit.

Liu Haizhong still looked constipated, with a helpless expression on his face.

The deaf old lady sighed, she should have a child like Lu Yao, she is such a good boy, but it is a pity that the old lady chose that fool.

Chapter 69

Two days passed like this, quietly.

Lu Yao asked Zhu Lin to build him a sun-shading shelf, and when the planted vines grow up, they will climb up the shelf and eventually form a green pavilion.

The rest of the time is just dawdling, but Qin Jingru led a few younger siblings to play around, and the emotional intensity rose rapidly.

Zhou Qing came here every day, and she came here to accompany Lu Yao to dry the salted fish, but she was reading a book while accompanying Lu Yao, everything was so comfortable.

"Brother Yao, I told my parents about our affairs ~ do you think they agree with me to associate with you?" Zhou Qing said joyfully

"Hey, Comrade Haruko, your tone reveals the answer." Lu Yao lazily replied.

Zhou Qing gritted her teeth, slapped Lu Yao, and said, "Hmph, my dad asked when you will come to my house? He wants to see you."

"Huh? Does he feel sorry for my cabbage being pushed by a pig?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Zhou Qing snorted: "Nonsense, you are the pig, you say you, other people talk about going to the movies, shopping, you are good, let me accompany you to bask in the sun."

"Huh? Watching movies? Going shopping? Vulgar, why don't I sing you a song."

"You can sing? Really?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, it was the first time she knew that Lu Yao still had this talent.

Lu Yao coughed dryly, and sang aloud: "The shining light and shadow of the interstellar falls into your eyes, like a charming crystal showing romance, love is a kind of magic to guide us, go through the dark forest to find the dawn..."

Zhou Qing put her hands on her cheeks and stared at Lu Yao steadfastly, her eyes were sparkling and shining. She had never heard this kind of song, but she felt that this song contained deep emotions.

After singing, Zhou Qing couldn't wait to ask: "What's the name of this song?"

"The stars in the sky are not as good as you, but don't spread the word." Lu Yao said with a smile.

This song is indeed full of deep feelings, but it is sung about what you can't love. People of this era can't understand it.

The current mainstream is still red songs, if this kind of popular songs are spread, big things will happen.

"Is the sky full of stars not as good as you...It's so nice." Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yao obsessively, she felt that Lu Yao was confessing his love to her.

"You're pretty too." Lu Yao said with a smile.

Zhou Qing blushed and turned her head: "I hate it."

……

The next day, Lu Yao got up early for daily exercise.

Wash and cook, get ready for work.

"Jingru, breakfast is on the table, remember to eat it when you get up." Lu Yao knocked on the door of Bai's house.

"Got it." Qin Jingru's voice came from inside.

Lu Yao nodded slightly, pushed the cart and left.

Passing through Jia's house, I found that Mrs. Jia Zhang had woken up, and she was very proud.
