Chapter 462 Why do you think you can?
When Yan Bugui went to the backyard for the first time, he saw Liu Haizhong's wife taking out a small red envelope and giving it to Xu Damao's son Xu Shengli.
This name is very contemporary and is also the mainstream at present.
Two years later, when the Third Front began, a large number of people called "construction" did the same.
This is the first time Xu Shengli has come here since he was born.
It is normal to give a small red envelope to all the elders in the community as a token of appreciation.
As for a gift for a meeting, no matter how much it is, it is always a blessing from the elders.
But since Xu Damao's family entered the yard, they were stopped by the Jia family and started crying. At that time, Yan Bugui was an accomplice.
No one even thought of coming up to say a few words of blessing and then taking out a small red envelope as a token of their appreciation.
Such is the humanity of this yard.
It's just his bangs. No matter how people criticize other parts of his body, he always lives his life seriously.
When getting along with neighbors and helping others, he is always the most serious one.
This was the case with the Xu family, and it was also the case when helping the Jia family.
For example, Jiuer also had conflicts with the Liu family. At the whole hospital meeting, Jiuer pointed at Liu Haizhong's nose and cursed him.
But Liu Haizhong was still tolerant. As long as Xu Damao and Xu Fugui did not turn against him, Liu Haizhong would not argue with a woman like Jiuer.
But Yan Bugui is not like that. To put it bluntly, the Yan family is just too poor.
Especially in the past two years, Yan Bugui's stinginess and calculating attributes have been fully developed.
If this situation happened two or three years ago, Yan Bugui, although stingy, would not be timid and would come up and praise him a little, and would always give him two cents even if it was only one or two cents.
But now, Yan Bugui turned his head, pretending not to see it, and went back to the central courtyard.
As for this thing, as long as he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. That’s probably what it means.
In fact, several people at the scene saw him appear.
Jiuer's face looked a little bad, but she spat at the person beside her.
Liu Haizhong laughed and said, "Old Yan! Haha, life has been stressing you out for the past two years! Damao's wife, don't bother with him."
Jiuer forced a smile and said, "Uncle Liu, you didn't go to the middle courtyard just now, so you didn't see it.
This is robbery and is illegal, otherwise, my family of three probably wouldn’t be able to get into the backyard.
It seems that next time I go back home, I will have to ask my two cousins to escort me."
Liu Haizhong's wife hit Jiuer lightly, said a few jokes, and the matter was over.
The Liu family invited Xu Damao to have a simple meal, which was naturally polite, but one party invited and the other refused, and this is the harmony of getting along.
Xu Damao said that he had an appointment today, and this was not nonsense. He really had an appointment with He Yuzhu today. After he was done with his work, he would go to He Yuzhu's house for a meal.
One is that He Yuzhu went there specially when his son was one month old. Today is a return visit.
Another thing is that He Yuzhu helped the Xu family get two barrels of milk powder, and Xu Damao went over to get them.
Of course, there are also two mothers who communicate about parenting experiences.
After the Liu family left, Xu Damao was busy for a while.
Things were much simpler on his side, as Xu's mother often came to help them clean up.
I came here today just to put up some new Spring Festival couplets, that's all.
So while the He family was still busy, the Xu family had already finished their work. Just as Xu Damao was about to lock the door and leave, Yan Bugui appeared on time.
Yan Bugui smiled and said when they met: "Da Mao, are you ready to leave?
Do you want to go to Uncle Yan's for a home-cooked meal?"
This thing, even treating someone to a meal is not that sincere.
Xu Damao was also a bad boy, but he said, "Why? Teacher Yan, are you going to cook all the pork, eggs and flour that the street gave to your family during the New Year today?" Yan Bugui's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly, "A simple meal, a simple meal, a homely meal. It's just plain food. A gentleman values the heart more than the appearance!"
Xu Damao resented Yan Bugui's obstruction in the middle court just now, but he said without hesitation: "Forget it, Mr. Yan, your invitation is not sincere!
Who would just treat someone to a cup of simple tea? One yuan for jasmine tea is not too expensive.
Or you can go buy some now, Mr. Yan, I'll wait for you here."
These words really made Yan Bugui very upset.
When he said simple food and drink, he was just being polite.
Not to mention jasmine tea, he hasn't even had gaosui for a long time.
Yan Bugui simply pretended not to hear, but said to Xu Damao: "Da Mao, Uncle Yan wants to discuss something with you.
Let’s go inside and talk.”
Jiuer was originally cleaning the door. Seeing that Yan Bugui had come to stay at her house, she picked up the lock on the windowsill and locked the door with a click.
She said to Xu Damao: "Boss, hurry up, my brother and others will be here to pick us up soon."
This is a clear rejection.
Yan Bugui also knew that Xu Damao's wife was a straightforward person. If she looked down on someone, it would show immediately in her expression.
And nothing he did just now was pleasing to Jiuer's eyes.
Xu Damao spread his hands towards him and shrugged.
But he smiled and said: "Teacher Yan, there is no stove at home, and it's the same inside and outside the house.
If you have anything to say, just briefly tell us here."
Yan Bugui looked very unhappy, but he still suppressed his embarrassment and said: "Da Mao, your brother Jie Cheng will graduate soon.
Can you give him some advice on his work?"
Xu Damao was confused and said: "Shouldn't we go to the street office to arrange work?
What ideas can I have?
If you want to know which factory is good, or want to find out the preferences of the factory leaders, you should find He Yuzhu. He is familiar with the leaders of all the factories in our street.
Like his nephew, Chef Wang on our street.
He refused to work in the factory a few years ago, and later on he couldn’t get into the factory.
It was He Yuzhu who arranged it for him out of consideration for his uncle's kindness.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Chef Wang brought his entire family, young and old, to find He Yuzhu and kowtowed to him several times.
He said that if He Yuzhu hadn’t arranged it for him, his whole family might have starved to death. ..."
These words made Yan Bugui dizzy.
He originally wanted to ask Xu Damao or Xu Fugui to help talk to them and take Yan Jiecheng as his apprentice.
He had already discussed with Yan Jiecheng at home that if Yan Jiecheng could learn to be a projectionist, Yan Jiecheng would be willing to give Yan Bugui two years' salary in exchange for a new job.
But what does Xu Damao mean by saying this?
What does Chef Wang’s kowtow to He Yuzhu have to do with Yan Jiecheng’s job search?
……
"Da Mao, what do you mean?" Yan Bugui asked.
Xu Damao sneered: "Teacher Yan, you are also a street thug. When someone mentions you, they will give you a thumbs up and say that you are well versed in the ways of the world.
Don't you understand?
Or do you take me for a fool?
Do you know how much it costs to get an apprenticeship as a projectionist from my dad's place?
Twelve thousand, no bargaining.
Spending this money can only guarantee that you can enter the cinema. As for whether there will be a master to guide you, it depends on your willingness.
He Yuzhu works for Chef Wang, who is more than ten years older than He Yuzhu, but Wang calls him uncle-master whenever they meet.
Because they are grateful to He Yuzhu and know the good and bad nature of people, they are willing to kowtow to He Yuzhu in front of everyone and thank him sincerely.
Tell me, why do you expect me to help you? ..."
