Chapter 169 Face and Lizi
Looking at Liu Haizhong standing there in a pretentious manner, He Daqing shook his head helplessly.
Although he knew that Liu Hai had a desire to be an official, he did not expect that this guy had such a strong desire for power.
He was just an old man in the yard, and he installed it!
However, He Daqing did not have much objection to Liu Haizhong being the boss.
Liu Haizhong was ambitious but incompetent, but his nature was not bad. Apart from the fact that he liked to beat his son, he seemed to be nice to his neighbors, otherwise he would not be the second uncle in the yard.
But Liu Haizhong's level is too low and his IQ cannot keep up, so he is often taken advantage of by Xu Damao in the backyard.
It would have been fine if He Daqing was not in the yard before, but now that He Daqing has become a big boss, he is naturally not afraid that Liu Haizhong will be led astray by Xu Damao.
Moreover, He Daqing has now become the manager of Fengze Garden. He is very busy on weekdays. Yan Bugui has to teach at night school every day. It would be nice if Liu Haizhong could share the trivial matters in the yard.
"Old Liu is right!"
Finally, He Daqing stood up and set the tone for this election.
"Since I've been chosen as the boss, I have to serve everyone. Lao Yan and I are busy on weekdays. If you have any problems, just go to Lao Liu. If you really can't solve them, wait for Lao Yan and I to get off work and we can discuss and solve them together!"
It was He Daqing after all. Just now, saliva was flying all over the floor from his bangs, and no one in the yard applauded in response. But when He Daqing said this, everyone started to applaud.
When Liu Haizhong saw this scene, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Even the look he gave He Daqing was filled with gratitude.
If He Daqing hadn't helped, it would have been difficult for him to manage things in this courtyard.
Now that He Daqing has told everyone to come to him for help if they have any problems, he can now legitimately participate in all the big and small matters in the courtyard!
When he thought of this, Liu Haizhong felt happy.
"Okay, if you have anything else to say, go find Lao Liu. If the rest of you don't have anything to say, just go away!"
After finishing his business, He Daqing was too lazy to stay in the yard any longer. He waved his hand, turned around and went back to the house to take care of his son.
At this time, other people in the yard also rushed towards Liu Haizhong.
"Uncle, my child needs money for school. The school is asking for money, but I really have no money recently. Can you lend me some money?"
"Uncle, congratulations. Well, the hinge of my door is broken. You work in a steel mill, can you help me fix it?"
"Old Liu, oh no, Second Uncle, are you still short of workers at the steel mill? My son is seventeen years old this year, you see..."
There are quite a few families living in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, and the situations of each household are different.
When Yi Zhonghai was here, they all went to Yi Zhonghai to solve the problem. Now that Liu Haizhong has become the third uncle and also works in the steel rolling mill, naturally they all went to Liu Haizhong.
"Don't worry, everyone come one by one..."
Looking at the neighbors chattering non-stop, my head is about to get bigger with my bangs.
Everyday he saw everyone coming to Yi Zhonghai to do things, calling him "uncle" all the time, and he was very envious.
But who would have thought that these guys had so much to do and actually thought of themselves as officials.
There are some things that Liu Haizhong can still help with, but there are some things that Liu Haizhong can't reach.
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that being the third uncle in the yard was not that easy.
But when he saw everyone looking at him eagerly, even though Liu Haizhong felt embarrassed, he put on a smile and went forward to communicate with them one by one.
There's nothing he can do about it. It's because of his bangs that he likes the feeling of being needed and respected.
Everyone asks him for help because they respect him!
I'll help you no matter what!
However, Liu Haizhong had satisfied his desire to be an official, but his wife couldn't stand it anymore.
Since Liu Haizhong became the third uncle, the family's life has not improved, but has become increasingly difficult. Apart from other things, the rice stored at home used to be enough for a month, but now it can only last for half a month at most...
"Liu Haizhong, tell me how much you earn a month! Our son is still growing up, and you've lent out all the rice. What are we going to eat?"
That day, the daughter-in-law in Liu Haizhong looked at the rice bag that was almost empty and finally couldn't help but burst out with the anger that had been pent up in her heart.
When Liu Haizhong first started working as the third uncle, she was very happy.
Everyone in the yard called their husband "Uncle" with such enthusiasm and respect, which made her feel very proud.
But after a long time, she found something was wrong.
Liu Haizhong keeps helping others, which makes him look good, but his family's life has fallen into a slump. Who can bear this?
"Oh my, what are you talking about!"
Facing his wife's roar, Liu Haizhong didn't care and continued to sit at the table and drink.
"Every family has some difficulties, but these are temporary. I just became the third uncle, and people come to me more often to do things. Once we get through this period, we will slowly get used to it."
The past month has been the happiest time in Liu Haizhong’s life, even better than the feeling when he got married and entered the bridal chamber.
Every day when he comes home from get off work, wherever he goes, people greet him with smiles and call him "Uncle", which sounds so nice!
Therefore, he didn't care about his daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction at all.
People come to me for help because they respect me. Besides, as long as I can get through this period, things will be fine, right?
"Dad, what are we going to eat from now on?"
However, at this moment, his son Liu Guangtian's questioning voice came from the side.
"Yeah, we're all starving. We haven't had meat for days!"
The third son, Liu Guangfu, also looked at Liu Haizhong with dissatisfaction.
His family doesn't have much, but it has many sons.
As the saying goes, the little brat is eating me to death.
These three brothers are all greedy, each one is better than the other. Liu Haizhong could barely make ends meet before, but now all the food in the family has been used to support other families, so there is no way they can have enough to eat.
"Hey, you guys are rebelling!"
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately became furious.
"I'm your father, and you always contradict me. Cornmeal is so delicious, but it can't feed you? I think you deserve to be punished!"
As he said this, he began to unbutton his trousers, ready to teach his two good-for-nothing sons a lesson.
"Ah, someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten. I'm going to find an uncle!"
When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw Liu Haizhong like this, they immediately started yelling and ran out.
Liu Haizhong, "..."
Not angry, not angry.
I am now a big shot, I can't let everyone laugh at me, otherwise, all the reputation I have worked so hard to accumulate for a month will be wasted.
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong quickly put the belt back on his trousers.
