Chapter 641: Beware of Courtyard No. 94
After being scolded by the supervisor, Jia Zhangshi dared not say a word. She quickly pulled the cart and left. If she held on any longer, it would be the end of the month. She didn't want to cause trouble... Last time, she was hit on the head and it hurt for several days.
Widow Liu was watching Jia Zhang's joke from behind.
"Some people deserve it. They don't want to work all day and just want to sleep and eat well..."
Jia Zhang turned around, glared at the other person and continued working.
"Don't let me see you in the city again, or I'll tear your face to pieces."
Widow Liu was not afraid and stopped immediately.
"Don't let me see you, or I'll beat you up."
After giving Widow Liu a fierce look, Jia Zhang picked up the cart and left. There was a disciplinarian standing nearby, so this was not the place to fight.
"Just wait for me! I'll beat you up sooner or later, you shameless bastard..."
Jia Zhang had already found out that Widow Liu was also sent here because she was engaged in a half-closed-door sex trade. And she was sent here for three months of reform...
……
In the family compound of a steel rolling mill in Dalian.
Feng Xinlan and her sister-in-law are making braised pork for the master's wife...
"Master's Wife, Chang Gong still hopes that you can go to Sijiu City with us. The third brother sent a telegram yesterday saying that Sijiu City has been arranged. The two of them still want me to take you to enjoy happiness."
Xiao Changgong and Yang Laosan were able to achieve what they have today thanks to their master's teaching. They also kept it in mind... Now that their master has passed away, they promised to provide for their master's wife in her old age.
The old lady smiled happily after hearing this: "You are all filial children. Master's wife knows her health. I also want to live in Sijiu City for a few years, but have you ever thought about how to be buried with your master if I suddenly die... You young people should go out more often. The old couple will take care of me here. You can go without worry!"
Among the three brothers of Xiao Changgong, he is the second oldest. The reason why he and Yang Laosan can feel at ease to enter the city is that they are taken care of by his master's wife and the eldest brother and his wife... The two of them only need to send back ten yuan every month.
At this time, a fair-skinned, beautiful girl with two long braids walked in.
"Master's wife, my sister-in-law is ready to eat! Today is a festival, let's have a good meal..."
Feng Xinlan saw that the master's wife really didn't want to leave, so she stopped forcing her. Anyway, she could just send living expenses to the old family every month...
"Okay, okay, I'm very happy that you guys are here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with me, an old lady. You should leave early tomorrow morning! Be sure to be careful when you get to Sijiu City... Those who can survive these days are all smart people."
Xiao Yufang said with a smile: "Master's wife, don't worry! My brother is a seventh-level worker, who would bully us? Besides, we are not vegetarians, we Northeasterners are afraid of anyone."
The old lady laughed and said, "You are a great girl, Yufang. When you get to Sijiucheng, let Changgong and his wife arrange a marriage for you in a big city. And let me, an old lady, take a look..."
Xiao Yufang grew up without parents and lived with her brother and sister-in-law. The eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. In marriage, the brother and sister-in-law still have the final say...
She had listened to her brother and sister-in-law since she was a child... Xiao Changgong called her "Master" and "Master's Wife", and she had gotten used to calling them that since she was a child.
"Well, when I find someone, I will definitely bring him back for my mistress to see."
The old lady patted the pretty girl's hands.
"Okay, okay, Master's wife is waiting for you to bring it back for me to see..."
Xiao Yufang is only eighteen years old now, and her face blushes a little every time she mentions this.

Evening
Courtyard house
Lin Chen returned home again to pack his things.
When the people in the courtyard saw Lin Chen carrying a suitcase out of the house, they immediately surrounded him...
"Uncle Lin, are you going on a long journey again?"
After Lin Chen stopped, he pretended to be a little unhappy...
"The factory arranged a business trip at short notice, and the train is tonight... There is really no other way."
Seeing Lin Chen's helpless expression, no one dared to joke. No one would be happy to be asked to go on a business trip during a major holiday.
"Uncle Lin, how long will you be gone this time?"
Lin Chen sighed: "It will take at least a week! I won't chat with you anymore. People from the factory are still waiting for me at the entrance of the alley. What's going on? I can't even have a peaceful holiday..."
……
After leaving the door, Lin Chen thought that if the He family and the Sun family gave up the house to the steel mill, it would be none of my business. I would not be at home. When Yang Lao San comes, he will teach you a lesson... That guy is not easy to deal with.
Hutong Entrance
Lin Chen met Wu Laoer and his youngest son Wu Wei.
"Director Lin, are you going on a long trip?"
Lin Chen stopped and looked around to see that there was no one around.
"Yes, Old Wu. By the way, last time I mentioned to you about connecting our two courtyards... What do you think? Think about it, once the wall is demolished, you won't have to climb over the wall to watch the heat anymore! Maybe you can even sit in the seats for free..."
Wu Laoer took the cigarette from Lin Chen and chuckled.
"What's there to discuss? Isn't it Director Lin who has the final say? But if our two courtyards are merged, the manager here..."
Lin Chen lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle and fifth uncle are in line! If you are capable, I can give you my first uncle."
Wu Lao Er hurriedly waved his hands and smiled: "No, no, no, I'll just be the fourth uncle. Your No. 95 Courtyard is the main one... I will find a way to deal with this matter, and Director Lin must cooperate with me when the time comes."
Lin Chen smiled with satisfaction and patted Wu Wei's shoulder.
"Young man, work hard at the steel mill. We will all be in the same yard in the future. Number 94 doesn't sound good...it's better to merge them."
When Wu Wei thought about living in the same yard with the director in the future, he immediately made the promise excitedly.
"Director Lin, I will do my best. I won't let you down..."
After a brief chat, Lin Chen left Nanluoguxiang.
There is no vacant space in Courtyard No. 95, and Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian and other young people are about to reach adulthood... they must find a way to keep them all here.
So Lin Chen set his eyes on the vacant land in the neighboring courtyard No. 94. As long as the wall was demolished, it would become a courtyard!
The young people should stay together in the future, which is why Lin Chen asked Yan Bugui not to rush to grab the house.
……
After Lin Chen left, the people in the courtyard started talking...
"Being a cadre is tiring enough. You have to be prepared for work issues at any time. Look, it's already this late and there's no dinner to eat..."
Liu Haizhong immediately disagreed after hearing Yan Bugui's nonsense.
"What's the big deal? If I were the director, I would agree to live in the office building every day. It's not right to be picky when contributing to the organization. What do you, a primary school teacher, know..."
Yan Bugui was not a pushover and immediately refuted and ridiculed her. Nowadays, the two of them would argue over the smallest matters. Sometimes they would even argue until their faces turned red...
In the end, it was Yi Zhonghai who persuaded them to leave.
Yi Zhonghai bought some wine and food today, and he wanted to treat Liu Haizhong to a drink.
He Daqing was watching the two people arguing happily. He was now thinking about moving the things out of the rainwater room tomorrow. In the future, the He family will have another small courtyard outside...
