Chapter 551 Asking for trouble
the next day.

The sky is bright.

"Get up! Get up!"

Everyone in the compound was woken up early in the morning by the Liu Guangtian brothers, who knocked on doors every house to wake them up.

"Are you two crazy? You're waking me up so early. I'm still sleepy. I finally have a day off, but you still have to get up so early!"

"Yeah, how come you two are still so energetic after being frozen all night? It seems you are not frozen enough!"

"That's right, I shouldn't have let you two cover yourself with a blanket yesterday. You two would have frozen to death!"

Everyone is in high spirits after getting up. It's only around six o'clock now, and they have never gotten up so early to go to work.

After being woken up, no one could sleep any longer.

"morning!"

"Morning!"

Everyone was yawning and greeting each other, looking sleepy.

There is a unique case, where the bangs are full of energy.

"Liu Haizhong, this is too early to get up." Sha Zhu complained directly to his face.

"You're the only one who talks too much. Why don't you get up earlier and finish all the work? Otherwise, you can do it all by yourself, so that everyone can go back to sleep."

Liu Haizhong criticized Sha Zhu bluntly.

"That's great. Thank you, Shazhu, for helping out so that everyone can feel more relaxed. You've done a great thing." Yan Bugui said temptingly.

"Hmph! You wish!" Sha Zhu muttered without arguing with Liu Haizhong.

At the urging of the Liu Guangtian brothers, everyone gathered in the front yard.

Almost all the people have arrived.

Liu Haizhong looked around and saw young people like Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, Jia Dongxu, Cui Yuan and others were present.

But there was only one person who was not there.

"Where's Li Kailang? Everyone is here, but he's the only one not here. What is he doing?!"

Liu Haizhong scolded sternly and immediately raised his foot to knock on the door to wake him up.

"Hey, Uncle, wait a minute!" Yan Jiecheng hurriedly called out, "Uncle, I'll replace Li Kailang, so you don't have to call him."

After all, he has received the money, so he has to do a good job, otherwise how can he be found for good things next time.

"You want him to do it?" Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Jiecheng in disbelief. There was someone helping to do this hard work.

"That's right, why not?" Yan Jiecheng nodded heavily.

"Sure, you can replace him if you want. There are people here anyway." Liu Haizhong muttered, seeing that almost everyone was there.

Every family must have one, and some even have one extra, so you should help your husband do something.

Only elderly people like Aunt Cui, Mrs. Jia Zhang, and the deaf old lady couldn't come, and the children didn't come.

"Okay, Second Uncle, let's quickly arrange the work, finish it early and rest early." Yi Zhonghai said inappropriately.

Liu Haizhong's face darkened and he glared at Yi Zhonghai. Didn't he know that he had to arrange the work?
Why are you talking so much? As if you're afraid that people don't know how powerful you are.

In response to this, Yi Zhonghai raised his head secretly. He did this on purpose. No one gave him face yesterday, so he wanted to steal the limelight today.

Road repair is not a big deal. Something happened yesterday and it is difficult for him to direct everyone to work on it.

With a straight face, Liu Haizhong began to give instructions to everyone.

"I'll assign the work. Everyone listen to me. Today we'll start from the gate of the compound and move inwards, starting with the back house."

"Jia Dongxu, Shazhu, Xu Damao, you young men, please work harder and clear out the broken bricks in the yard first."

"The others will be responsible for cleaning up and moving away at the back, and the last one will be responsible for cleaning up. After the cleaning is completed, they will start laying bricks at the end."

After the orders were given one by one, everyone began to work in an orderly manner.

Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others took the lead and started from the back house to remove the bricks that were severely damaged.

The back house was the hardest hit area. Everyone had to pass through here. There were only a few bricks on the ground that were intact, and most of them had been cleared out.

Or you don’t even need to dig it up, just move it away directly and clean up the front yard quickly.

Seeing that Li Kailang was still sleeping at home, Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu were not convinced and deliberately made some noise.

boom!
The bricks hit the wall directly.

"Oh, this brick is really hard. It took a lot of effort to move it."

Snapped!
Bricks hit the door.

"I was scared to death, luckily I didn't hit anyone. The brick was so loose, luckily I used less force."

"Hey, I don't believe that I can't wake you up. If we can't sleep, you can't sleep either!" Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu said in their hearts.

There was no sound coming from Li Kailang's room, so the two guessed that Li Kailang must have been woken up, and was too embarrassed to come out when he heard there were so many people outside.

"Hehe~" Now the two of them became even more excited and made it extremely loud on purpose, as if they were going to wake Li Kailang up.

On the other hand, Li Kailang was well prepared and fell into a deep sleep in the planting space, without any sound coming from outside.

"Hmm~" Li Kailang was even smacking his lips in his sleep, he was having a sweet dream.

When Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng saw the two men doing this, they immediately became unhappy.

To them, Li Kailang is both an employer and a supplier.

"Work hard and take care of all this."

"That's right, work hard, don't be lazy, you can only move so many bricks if you just keep banging your head."

"Hey, how can you two talk like that!" Sha Zhu was unhappy on the spot.

"How did we get lazy? Yan Jiecheng, please explain clearly." Jia Dongxu was also unconvinced.

"Oh my, you're still not convinced. Everyone knows that you're the laziest. You act like a big shot in the cafeteria. Who would believe you if you weren't lazy?"

Xu Damao responded to Sha Zhu without any hesitation, and even did not let Jia Dongxu go.

"Jia Dongxu, you're not much better. I won't even talk about how you perform in the workshop. Just look at how many bricks you've removed. And you still have the nerve to say that."

"Hey!" The two of them were so angry that their faces turned red.

"Xu Damao, I make a living by my cooking skills. It's only natural for me to be the boss in the cafeteria with these skills. If you can do it, you can do it too."

Yan Jiecheng interrupted and said sarcastically, "Ah, yes, yes, you have great skills, and your skill of shaking the spoon is the best. That is a specialty of our city."

"Hahaha, you're right, Shazhu is really good at shaking the spoon, even people in his own yard shake the spoon, it's as if he's afraid that others don't know about his skill of shaking the spoon."

"Of course not. Most people wouldn't do such a thing." Yan Jiecheng nodded solemnly.

"That's right, Sha Zhu even cheated the people in his own yard!" Even Cui Yuan rarely agreed.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all nodded in agreement.

They are all from the same courtyard, and not only did Sha Zhu not treat them well, he even shook the spoon very violently.

They bully the weak and fear the strong, and they are bullied by them.

In the blink of an eye, Sha Zhu was surrounded by everyone and fell into a disadvantage.

But who is Sha Zhu? How could he be afraid of everyone? "Humph, I can beat you as much as I want. If you think it's not enough, go to another cafeteria. You are the ones who are too troublesome."

"Hmph, just change it, what's there to be afraid of? There's more than one canteen in the factory anyway, it's just a matter of walking a few more steps." Someone said stubbornly.

"Yes, there is more than one cafeteria that does well, the other cafeterias are also good."

Everyone also became tough and were not afraid of Sha Zhu's threats.

"It's best if everyone goes, so I can relax a little bit, and I can bring the extra food back home." Sha Zhu said arrogantly. Hearing this, everyone stopped paying attention to Sha Zhu and just looked at him with a look that looked like he deserved a beating.

Yi Zhonghai noticed everyone's strangeness and immediately replaced Sha Zhu to avoid angering everyone and getting beaten, which would be troublesome.

This small incident did not affect the progress of the renovation at all.

With the help of strength in numbers, we finished the work in a few hours while chatting and laughing.

The originally dilapidated road was cleaned up by everyone, leaving only a small part of intact bricks.

"It's almost done. Everyone, please work harder and sort out the bricks so they don't block the road. Then clean up the yard. We'll be almost there by the end of the morning."

"Everyone should come early in the afternoon to lay the bricks, finish early and finish work early."

"Oh, it's finally over." Everyone supported their waists and stood up with back pain.

"I thought removing bricks was a trivial task, but I didn't expect it to take so long. Fortunately, there were so many people, otherwise we wouldn't be able to finish it."

"Yeah, luckily there's someone at home who can take over, otherwise it would take even longer."

Fortunately, there are many people at home, and I can take over and take the opportunity to rest.

After the lunch break, everyone will continue working in the afternoon.

"Everyone get up, everyone get up!"

Liu Haizhong shouted with full momentum: "Hurry up and come out to do it, there is only a little left, the sooner we finish it, the sooner it will be over."

"Once the road is paved, our yard will definitely be the most beautiful among the nearby alleys. The other yards will be finished soon, and only our yard will be left."

Liu Haizhong's words made everyone hate him, it was like thunder in their ears and made them very annoyed.

"What a shame, Liu Haizhong, why not use his energy to work? What's the point of arguing with us?"

"Yeah, with that much strength, why doesn't he do more."

"Okay, stop talking. He has done a lot."

If Liu Haizhong hadn't taken the lead and done more, everyone would have complained about him to his face long ago.

"I don't know what's wrong with Liu Haizhong. Where does he get so much energy?"

Liu Haizhong watched everyone come out to gather reluctantly, and nodded with satisfaction, not feeling tired at all.

"Everyone, wake up. It's the last hour now. Finish the work early and rest early."

"I'll assign them. Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, you youngsters, please work hard to lay the bricks. The others will move the bricks, and the rest will carry the mud and sand to fill the gaps."

Orders were given one by one, and everyone knew exactly what they had to do.

"Okay, let's get started. Finish early and rest early."

Everyone worked hard, and more and more people came to participate in the renovation, even children joined in.

Although each contribution is small, it adds up to a lot and greatly speeds up the pace of paving the road.

After the efforts of dozens of people, at around five or six in the afternoon, everyone finally completed the task of paving the road in the compound.

The roads in the entire yard were cleared cleanly, and all kinds of broken bricks and stones were piled outside the gate of the yard.

"It's finally done." Xu Damao hammered his waist and stood up little by little, his whole body aching.

"I'm done." Yan Jiecheng slumped down on the ground, not caring that the ground was wet.

"You know what, after all this renovation, it's pretty clean, just like a new yard."

"Yeah, I've never seen such a clean yard, and I don't know how long it will last."

Everyone felt much better when they saw the brand new, clean and tidy road surface, and the aches and pains all over their bodies were relieved a lot in an instant.

"Okay, okay." Yan Bugui looked at the tidy yard and felt extremely happy. As for why he was so happy, one could tell by secretly glancing at the Yan family's house.

Yan Bugui took advantage of the gaps in brick laying to secretly hide a lot of broken bricks of better quality.

"My goodness, these bricks have become a small mountain."

But compared to what Jia Zhang stole yesterday, it was a lot less, but at least she could rebuild the stove.

After all, you are picking from broken bricks, and there are not many good ones.

Jia Zhang also stole glances at the Yan family and passed by Yan Bugui intentionally or unintentionally.

"Some people say they don't want others to make bricks, but they secretly make a lot of bricks themselves. You should take care of them, Old Man Yan!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui's face remained calm and he said sternly, "Ms. Jia Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. I collected the broken bricks that were not used in the yard. They were meant to be thrown away anyway."

When everyone heard that Yan Bugui was taking broken bricks, they didn't care. Not many people wanted those bricks, and he was not the only one who did this.

Jia Zhang retorted: "You've said so much, but aren't those things you took also from the compound? Could it be that they fell from the sky?"

Yan Bugui said seriously, "I just think those bricks are still useful and I don't want to waste them. I am recycling them, so why not? I am not like you."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you stole a lot of bricks while everyone was laying bricks, didn't you?"

Jia Zhang's face darkened and she was about to refute, but Yan Bugui spoke on his own.

"Don't you think I don't know? It's understandable that everyone is sweating profusely from exhaustion, but look at yourself. I haven't even seen you working, so why are you sweating profusely?"

"You're not stealing bricks, are you sweating because you're afraid of being discovered?"

In an instant, Jia Zhang's eyes darted around and sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Hmph!" Seeing Jia Zhang's helpless look, Yan Bugui snorted coldly, even though the bricks were taken away yesterday.

But who is he? Yan Bugui has plenty of ways to get a batch of bricks reasonably.

On the other hand, Jia Zhangshi has never been educated and all she does is think about stealing.

Everyone heard Yan Bugui

"Ms. Jia Zhang! Hand over the brick!" Liu Haizhong shouted angrily.

"If you don't want to take it, then take it!" Jia Zhang originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the face in Liu Haizhong's head and thought that he was going to call the police, she didn't dare to say no.

"Hmph!" Jia Zhang went home obediently to get bricks.

"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, you two watch Jia Zhang move out. These bricks will be sent back to the street office later."

"Yes." The two men responded weakly. They still had to carry bricks to the street office.

When Yi Zhonghai was laying bricks, he saw that the tiles on the roof of the deaf old lady's house were broken. Since everyone was there, they repaired it together.

He immediately stood up and said to Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and others.

"I see that the tiles on the old lady's roof are all broken. Fortunately, we are all here. There is strength in numbers. Let's lend a hand and help fix it together."

Cui Yuan: “.”

Xu Damao: "Brother, what are you going to eat tonight? How about a drink together?"

Bai Xiuwen: "Sister, let's have something delicious tonight. Sister Xu, how about joining us?"

Xu Sinan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The few people completely ignored what Yi Zhonghai said and left on their own.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Sha Zhu immediately responded: "Okay, uncle, let's go and do it now. While it's still light, we can finish it and eat it early."

As if he felt it was awkward to speak alone, Sha Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu: "Jia Dongxu, isn't that right?"

"Ahhh, okay." Jia Dongxu responded reluctantly.

The two people's responses seemed to give Yi Zhonghai some psychological comfort.

Yi Zhonghai just felt unwell all over. Was he really so unwelcome?
