Chapter 621 Another year
Wu Mazi was arrested outside the city on the third day and sentenced a year ago.
Extortion, three years.
Not long after Wu Mazi was sentenced, the Wu family quietly moved out of Yard No. 95.
The two houses belonged to the Jia family. No one knew how the negotiation went on, but Qin Huairu moved in openly.
Wang Tiedan only found out about this after he returned from the Chinese New Year, and he felt a little regretful.
Helpless, I was under house arrest and couldn’t leave the house.
Fortunately, the original house of Yi Zhonghai has been acquired, which is finally a little comforting.
Speaking of Yi Zhonghai's house, it was Wang Tiedan's father Wang Gousheng who found it through his connections.
Liu Haizhong's workshop director did not make things difficult for Liu Haizhong. He not only allowed him to enter the workshop and swing a sledgehammer, but also made him the team leader of the workshop.
Sure enough, just as the doctor had predicted, Liu Haizhong felt much better that day.
He was full of vigor and arrogance.
Liu Haizhong took it for granted that this was a prelude to Li Huaide re-employing him, and that it would not be long before he would become the head of the Revolutionary Committee's special task force again.
He holds great power, and his family members are promoted to high positions, reaching the peak of his life.
However, when he returned home and saw Liang Tingyu cleaning Yi Zhonghai's former house, he instantly became depressed.
No matter how stupid Liu Haizhong was, he understood that there was no such thing as an important position. If he had been important, he would have been transferred directly to the Revolutionary Committee. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.
It is obvious that it was Wang Tiedan who made the effort behind the scenes to get the house.
However, Liu Haizhong stopped making a fuss, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
……
As time passed and the New Year was approaching, Wang Tiedan took his relatives back to Dawang Village to celebrate the New Year.
Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Li, Liang Tingyu and Grandma Yang to join us, but they were unwilling.
Firstly, it is inconvenient, it is better to stay in the yard to look after the house. Secondly, I have to make drinks for the cooperating restaurant and I can’t leave.
Wang Tiedan didn't force it.
As soon as he and Nian Ye left, Yard 95 suddenly became much more spacious.
The deaf old lady in the backyard and Yi Zhonghai had difficulty going out, and they couldn't even make any sound. The Liu family, who were the noisiest, had no children to play with, and Xu Damao even moved out of the yard.
Although the Jia family in the middle courtyard had two more rooms, Jia Zhang was isolated and helpless and dared not make trouble. Qin Huairu was hurt by love and lived in seclusion. Needless to say, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai moved out of their houses, one and the other moved to the backyard.
The situation in the front yard was slightly better. Although there were still some people, Yan Bugui was no longer the same as before. No one paid any attention to him when he was writing couplets during the New Year.
Different from the deserted No. 95 Courtyard, Dawang Village in Miyun is extremely lively.
Everyone in the surrounding area knows that people in Dawang Village are doing well.
People giving gifts, visiting relatives, and matchmaking never stop during the Chinese New Year.
Wang Tiedan's family is even more lively. In one year, there are four more people in the family, two daughters-in-law, a grandson and a granddaughter, and the daughter-in-law is pregnant with another baby. It's simply a perfect family.
Wang Tiedan was not idle either. While taking care of the children, he also discussed breeding matters with his uncle and others.
In terms of policy, the country has restrictions on private breeding, but it has not completely banned it.
As the saying goes, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. Even though the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, it does not mean that it cannot be implemented.
For example, you could enclose a valley and graze some rabbits, chickens, ducks, etc. or the village could collectively raise pigs, sheep, roe deer, etc. All of these are feasible.
The prey is limited, so we have to rely on luck for our livelihood.
After all, it is not a long-term solution.
Farming is easy and safe, with less disputes and gossip.
Wang Dexing was not a pedantic person. He found a few people in the village who had influence and settled the matter directly.
At worst, if I lose, I can go back into the mountains to hunt.
They are all very confident!
Wang Tiedan also suggested leading the surrounding villages. As for breeding, the more people involved, the better, as long as the control is in the hands of Dawang Village.
Wang Dexing also agreed with this, saying that if we all work together, it won’t be too conspicuous.
After the New Year, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Tiedan couldn't wait to take Qin Jingru and Jin Bao back to the city.
It’s a bit difficult to adapt to the absence of electricity at night.
This can be overcome, but the crowing of the rooster is really unbearable.
As soon as one rooster crows, a flock of chickens will follow suit. This starts before dawn and continues until eleven or twelve in the afternoon, one after another, and never misses a beat.
Wang Tiedan takes care of the children and always goes to bed in the early morning, which shows his poor sleep quality.
It was already afternoon when they returned to the city. Wang Tiedan immediately took Qin Jingru and Jinbao to visit all his acquaintances to wish them a happy new year.
I got home, had just lit the stove, and hadn't even sat down yet when there was a knock on the door.
Wang Tiedan hurried to open the door, and it turned out to be Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Both of them were holding a child, looking so neat.
"How did you two get together? What a rare guest!"
"What do you mean by we're together? It means he follows me." Sha Zhu said. It was obvious that he still had some grievances against Xu Damao.
Xu Damao didn't care.
"Haha~ What do you mean you follow me and I follow you? It's New Year's Day, I won't argue with you."
"As if I have the same experience as you."
"Alright, alright, you're still making noise when you come to my house. You have nothing to do. Aren't you afraid that the children will be cold? Come inside."
Wang Tiedan quickly opened the door, and only then noticed that Zhuo Xiaohe, who looked unhappy, was following behind the door.
"Sister-in-law Xiaohe is here too, come in quickly."
"Happy New Year, Brother Tiedan~"
"Okay, okay, hurry up."
The group entered the house and saw Qin Jingru, and there was another round of greetings.
Qin Jingru knew that the man wanted to chat, so she pulled Zhuo Xiaohe aside and started talking in private.
Wang Tiedan picked up Jinbao, Sha Zhu held He Bing, and Xu Damao held Xu Tianci. The three of them sat around the stove and looked at each other and smiled, all with the smiles of old fathers.
"It's different having a son. You all seem to be much calmer!"
Wang Tiedan made the first comment.
"What are you talking about? It's like asking how old your son is. He's just three months older than my son!" Xu Damao said.
Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at the two of them and was too embarrassed to say anything.
His child was born to Jia Zhang, and I really don't want to mention it.
"How are you guys doing lately?" Wang Tiedan asked again.
"I'm doing OK. I show movies everywhere and sell some local products. If I keep going like this, I'll be half a buyer."
"I usually cook for others, which is pretty busy!"
Listening to the two people's narration, Wang Tiedan nodded.
"It's better to be busy. It's better to be busy than to be idle. It's just right. We'll have dinner at my place. The feast is up to you!"
"That's easy! Don't worry!" Sha Zhu agreed readily.
Wang Tiedan looked at Xu Damao again.
"Brother Damao, have you ever thought about finding another one?"
"Hey, I have to find one. My mom has been arranging things for me. The child is still young. It doesn't matter if he is before three years old. I am not in a hurry."
"Brother Zhuzi, what about you? I heard that you left your child with Uncle He?"
"definitely!"
Without waiting for Sha Zhu to speak, Xu Damao spoke directly in a low voice and glanced in Zhuo Xiaohe's direction.
Wang Tiedan immediately became interested.
"Brother Zhuzi has to tell me about this. I heard that you were about to get divorced, so how come you guys got back together?"
Sha Zhu's face turned red and he subconsciously touched his ribs.
You know what, we almost got divorced. If I hadn't knelt down firmly at my father-in-law's house, I would have been beaten to death by my six brothers-in-law.
But at this time, the man still needs to maintain his face.
"What do you mean by divorce? It was all fine in the first place!"
"Who is it that hasn't come to work for half a month? And he looks so hurt!" Xu Damao said dimly.
