The dinner lasted until more than nine o'clock, the guests and hosts were happy, Yao Weimin saw that the time was almost up, and then opened his mouth to propose to end the banquet.

Director Yang didn't want to keep it anymore, so he got up and went out to see him off.

It was sent out of the factory area, and after standing at the gate of the factory and watching Yao Weimin and the three of them go away, he turned around and returned to the factory.

"Second brother, you refused the car sent by Director Yang, and you have to go back on your own legs, how hard it is, otherwise, you sit in the back seat of the car, I will simply push you!"

Xu Damao smiled and enthusiastically suggested.

This time, he didn't drink too much, and he didn't have time to show his skills, and all the opportunities for performance were snatched away by Lu Dongqing.

Lu Dongqing did his best in public relations, unwilling to waste the opportunity created by Yao Weimin for him, he has been toasting during the banquet, and has a relationship with the leaders of the factory.

"No, Xu Damao, I'll give you a task to help me send my brother-in-law home safely, no problem, right?" Yao Weimin took the handlebars of the bicycle, looked at Lu Dongqing, who was walking crookedly next to him, and said.

"This is not a trivial matter, second brother, you are good, just go home and rest assured, I will send my brother-in-law home!" Xu Damao patted his chest and reassured.

Then he helped Lu Dongqing to say goodbye to Yao Weimin, and took the lead in walking forward.

At tonight's wine field, Xu Damao shouted at Yao Weimin with a second brother, which made Director Yang praise him a few words, and even asked Deputy Director Li about his work performance.

This made Xu Damao's heart very excited, and he faintly felt that he was stained with the light of his second brother, and maybe he would have a chance to be promoted, so he could be called obedient to Yao Weimin's words, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.

"Silly pillar, stupid pillar, you are really stupid like a pig, you have to compete with the second brother, I think you are impatient!"

On the way home when Xu Damao sent Lu Dongqing home, he secretly pondered in his heart, "Tomorrow morning when I go to work, I will stab you for stealing pork from the canteen, and see if you die this time!" And that MCA, grandson, wait for my grandfather and I to be promoted, and then I will slowly settle accounts for you! ”

Just in the back kitchen of the cafeteria, Silly Zhu left after frying the dishes, but when he left, he secretly put more than half a catty of raw pork that had been cut off a long time ago into the lunch box, and then left the canteen with Qin Huairu, who was waiting outside.

This scene happened to be seen by Xu Damao, who came out to serve the food, at that time he resisted the urge and did not expose it, but pulled Liu Lan to look at it too, and decided to go to Deputy Director Li tomorrow to report it.

……

Yao Weimin returned to his yard, sat on a chair and rested leisurely drinking tea, waiting for Gangzi to come and send him money.

At present, the trade in the pigeon market has returned to the right track, Gou Lizi and Han Ban Zi have completely recognized Gangzi, as before, they are willing to pay first and then sell the goods, and then settle with Gangzi when the goods are sold out.

Because of the increase in the number of people, the sale of bananas and pineapples has basically come to an end, Yao Weimin began to think about going to the south, on the one hand, to buy seasonal fruits, and then to arrange for the monkeys to take over the purchase of southern fruits in the local area.

At about ten o'clock, Gangzi arrived on time.

The two first settled the day's money, and Yao Weimin put more than 2,000 yuan into his pocket.

"Second brother, there are basically no bananas at present, the weather is warmer than in winter, and there are almost more than 1,000 catties in the warehouse, which makes you lose a sum of money indirectly, I feel distressed when I look at it, but this is really no way, as soon as the temperature is high, the bananas will change color after a few days, hey!"

Gangzi lowered his head and reported, thinking that it was his responsibility, and the expression on his face was unnatural.

"This situation is normal, how can it be just right to do business, it doesn't matter if you lose a little." After Yao Weimin finished speaking calmly, he continued to ask, "What about pineapples?" How many warehouses are there at present? ”

"Less than two thousand, this thing is not as delicate as a banana, it can be put away, and it is estimated that it can be sold for another three or four days at most!"

Gangzi said seriously.

"Well, I'm going to go out next, and this time I'll get fewer bananas and more pineapples, and maybe I'll get some other fruits, and I'll sell them together when the time comes, so that customers can have more choices."

"That's great! Second brother, don't worry, I have me at home, and I promise not to cause you trouble! Gangzi looked overjoyed when he heard this, with a strong sense of expectation in his eyes.

The two chatted briefly a few more words, Gangzi didn't dare to delay Yao Weimin's time all the time, and quickly got up to say goodbye and leave.

The next day was Sunday, the unit was on holiday, and Yao Weimin had just gotten up in the morning when someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard gate.

When I opened the courtyard door, it was Liu Guangtian standing outside.

"Brother Wei Min, I asked Hongfang to take me to you once when I got off work yesterday, but I didn't wait for you, so I came again this morning, hehe......" Liu Guangtian explained while standing outside the courtyard gate with a smile.

"What's the matter with being in such a hurry to find me?" Yao Weimin frowned slightly, and then beckoned to Liu Guangtian, "Come in and say!" ”

"Gotcha!" Liu Guangtian was overjoyed and followed Yao Weimin into the courtyard.

"Brother Wei Min, I want to treat you to a meal, I wonder if you have time at noon today?" He met Yao Weimin's inquiring eyes, and said with some embarrassment.

"Why did you suddenly remember to invite me to dinner? Is there anything you need me to help you with? Yao Weimin asked straight to the point.

"Nope! This time I'm really not here to bother Brother Wei Min, my brother just wants to invite you to a meal! Liu Guangtian immediately explained, with a determined face.

"That's not necessary, it's really unfortunate, I have other arrangements today, otherwise, I'll look for you when I have time later?" Yao Weimin waved his hand.

He really doesn't have time today, he is about to go on a business trip, taking advantage of this weekend's rest, he plans to call Shen Wenli home for a meal, and then he also wants to visit Uncle Quan, he hasn't been in touch for a while recently, and he misses those old brothers.

"Don't mind, Brother Wei Min, you should do me a favor, can you come to our house for a meal at noon today?" Liu Guangtian was a little anxious when he heard this, so he simply told his father about looking for him.

"Brother Wei Min, don't you know, my old man went to the furniture factory to find me yesterday morning, and asked me why I wanted to do it with him in front of so many workers, and before I could say a word, I picked up a stick and wanted to beat me, hey, at that time, my buddy wanted to die!"

Liu Guangtian looked indignant, and when he saw Yao Weimin's brows furrowed slightly, his face was not good, and he hurriedly explained:

"Brother Wei Min, don't get me wrong, my old man's tantrum is at me, it has nothing to do with you, what about him, mainly because he thinks that the last time he did it was not authentic, and he feels embarrassed in his heart, so he wants me to invite you to our house for a meal, and this matter is over!"

"In broad daylight, go back and tell your dad that the matter of eating will be free, one is that I really don't have time today, and then there is no need for this, so dripping, if it were you last time, what would you think?"

Yao Weimin asked rhetorically.

"......" Liu Guangtian was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

In his heart, he couldn't look down on what his father did at that time, he had never seen such a person who would take revenge anywhere, he was a junior, even if he wanted to help explain, he couldn't stop talking!

"In this way, if your father sincerely feels guilty about that matter, then let him come to me himself and explain the matter clearly, I may turn the page on this matter in the face of the neighborhood for many years!"

Yao Weimin finally finished speaking, pushed the bicycle and walked out.

"Done! Brother Wei Min, don't worry, I will definitely bring it, as for what the old man wants to do, Brother Wei Min, you can't blame me, I will definitely stand on your side! ”

When Liu Guangtian saw that Yao Weimin was going out, he knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so he didn't forget to express his position and attitude before leaving.

After he left, Yao Weimin also locked the door and left the yard on his bicycle, and found a shop selling fritters and bean juice for breakfast.

People in Sijiucheng love to drink bean juice in the morning, which is a breakfast drink different from soy milk and tofu brain.

Soybeans are fermented and processed, and then boiled in a cauldron, which is basically exclusive to Sijiu City, and it is really difficult to drink in other places.

There is a little bean flavor in the sour, the sugar is sweet and sour, the salt is added to become an authentic salty mouth, and then put a little spicy oil, two fritters, a plate of crispy pickles mixed with sesame sauce, even eat and drink, full of taste.

After breakfast, Yao Weimin rushed to Shen's house.

Shen Wenli should also be resting at home today, he has to go over early, otherwise it is possible that Shen Wenli will go to help her sister look at the counter.

"Weimin? Ha ha...... Come in, Wen Li is about to go out, isn't this your coming, it's really a coincidence! ”

Wang Mei was about to go out and dump a dustpan of furnace ash with a dustpan, and happened to meet Yao Weimin, who was about to enter the courtyard, so she couldn't help but put the dustpan on the ground in surprise and beckoned Yao Weimin to come.

"Auntie morning!" Yao Weimin greeted him with a smile, and was about to continue talking, when Shen Wenli had already run out of the house happily.

"Mom, you're busy, Wei Min is not an outsider, you don't have to be so polite to him!"

Shen Wenli had a smug look on her face, and her beautiful eyes contained surprise.

This is the first time Yao Weimin has come to her on a day off, and she used to take the initiative to go to the courtyard to find Yao Weimin.

"Jing nonsense, Wei Min will become our aunt in the future, I can't be lazy, otherwise you won't have to be anxious with me!" Wang Mei glanced at her daughter in disgust, waved her hand at Yao Weimin, turned around and went out with a dustpan.

"There's nothing wrong with what Uncle said!" Yao Weimin rushed to Shen Wenli who came to the front and whispered.

"Virtue!" Shen Wenli was embarrassed, and seriously helped Yao Weimin tidy up the collar of his shirt, "Rest today, how do you plan to live?" ”

"Come to my house for lunch, I'm going to go to a few old brothers' houses in the afternoon, and by the way, bring you and let them help me check the gates!"

"Yes, huh?!" Shen Wenli's pretty face was blank, and then she thought of something, and asked curiously: "You didn't drink a bar last night?" My sister didn't wait for her brother-in-law to pick her up all night, and she didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. ”

Yao Weimin couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this, Lu Dongqing estimated that the wife and children who drank last night had forgotten where they were, I'm afraid they were still sleeping at home at this point!

"Later, let my sister take her eldest nephew home by herself, the person who picked her up shouldn't have sobered up yet!"

"I guess that's it! This Lu Dongqing is really good, he will die when he sees wine, and my sister doesn't know how to take care of him, sooner or later she will feel better! ”

Shen Wenli held her forehead and said helplessly.

The two entered the house and sat for a while, and saw that Shen Chunlin was busy making tea, Yao Weimin hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and after Shen Wenli woke up her sister and made it clear, she left the Shen family.

Because it was still early at noon, Yao Weimin took Shen Wenli and did not go back to the courtyard directly, but walked outside.

Now that the solar term has entered spring, the river surface is thawing, the old trees are spitting green, and the warm sun is shining, exuding vitality everywhere.

The two of them faced the breeze blowing in their faces, and their hearts also soared......

……

Quadrangle.

After Liu Guangtian was rejected by Yao Weimin, he came back to pass a message to Liu Haizhong.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet my mother who came back from going out to buy vegetables.

"Mom, you wait for a while, I'll tell you, I'll have to be beaten again when I go back later!" Liu Guangtian saw that his mother had bought a lot of vegetables in the basket, and he felt even more unconfident.

If his father knew that he didn't invite Yao Weimin and bought so many vegetables for nothing, he probably wouldn't be spared.

"In broad daylight, what about Weimin? Didn't come with you? When the second aunt saw her son coming back alone, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Oh, I understand, Wei Min, this kid feels embarrassed to come to our house empty-handed to eat, and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, right?" ”

"......" Liu Guangtian didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't know where his parents' sense of superiority came from, so he decided that Yao Weimin rarely reconciled with your old couple?

"Mom, uh-huh...... I said don't worry, it's a bit troublesome! Liu Guangtian touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, "Brother Wei Min, he has something to go out today, and everyone has made an appointment in advance, so he won't come to our house for this meal at noon!" ”

"What!" The second aunt couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, "Yao Weimin, he ...... He's not coming? ”

"Hmph, that's too ignorant of lifting, isn't it? What a man! The second aunt grabbed the bicycle handlebar angrily, "Your father, as an elder, took the initiative to show favor to him, he didn't know how to borrow the donkey from the slope, and put it on the score, heh!" Today's young people really don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Liu Guangtian saw that his mother was so angry, and Yao Weimin didn't dare to say anything else he asked him to bring, so he had to say something stupid, "Yes, you still have to persuade my dad about this matter, his way of dealing with it is really a bit of a problem, okay, then I won't go into the house, there is still something in the factory, go first!" ”

"Hey, you come back for me!" The second aunt shouted angrily, "Guangtian, if you can't do this, don't blame your father for going to the furniture factory every day to find you!" ”

"Didn't I say Mom, you're still unreasonable? Can you give me a way to live?! Liu Guangtian's face was full of indignation, and his tone was mixed with resentment, "Let you toss, I will resign and quit if it's a big deal, and I will go out with Guangfu to ask for food in the future!" ”

"Hey, I said you're a rabbit cub, you ......" The second aunt wanted to say something, Liu Guangtian had already run away quickly.

"Cheng, Yao Weimin, you have done enough!" She was angry at the bike, couldn't help but kick hard, and lowered her head and pushed towards the yard.

"Hey, I said second aunt, I kindly lent you a bicycle to buy groceries, you put it outside and let people nest their necks, don't take my bicycle to get angry? Dare to love is not an object in your family, don't you feel distressed when it gets bad?! ”

Yan Bugui was waiting at the gate, counting with a straight face.

Bangs came to borrow a bicycle early in the morning, he was originally reluctant to borrow it, you must know that he was not even happy to let his own son Yan Jiecheng want to ride a bicycle, let alone lend it to Liu Haizhong.

But he couldn't stand the promise of good wine and good food at noon, and specially sent two salted duck eggs to the door, Yan Bugui weighed it in every possible way, and felt that it was not a loss, so he agreed.

But who would have thought that he had been waiting in the courtyard for the second aunt to come back from buying vegetables, but he heard the conversation between Liu Guangtian's mother and son outside, and then his bicycle suffered.

"You don't talk nonsense! Which eye saw me off your bike?! The second aunt was upset, and when she spoke with choking words, she immediately angered Yan Bugui.

"Done! You don't admit it, do you? It's okay, my bike can talk, let's let the big guys in the yard judge and see who doesn't take advantage of it! ”

Yan Bugui spoke louder and louder, and soon attracted many neighbors to come over and watch.

Even Yi Zhonghai in the middle courtyard was shocked, paced to the front, and after understanding the situation, he couldn't help frowning and reprimanding the two.

"Just to alarm the big guys for such a little bullshit, is this like a word?!"

"Uncle Yi, you don't care if you don't like it, I kindly lent them this bicycle, but I didn't let her use it to get angry!"

Yan Bugui was straightforward and had no intention of stopping there.

"Yan Laoxi'er, what are you making a fuss about? Let's go for a walk, come to my house for tea, uncle, you can come together! Liu Haizhong also rushed over at this time, and he was not angry at all when he saw this, and smiled and said.

Originally, he invited Yao Weimin to dinner at noon, and he also planned to call the other two masters, with these two people present to add a word, I believe that Yao Weimin will not be ignorant and have a drink together, and the previous incident will be over.

"Don't mind, you, let's smooth out your family's affairs first, Lao Liu, you remember, you owe me a meal, I took away the bicycle, you don't want to send it!" Yan Bugui had a cold face, snatched the handlebar of the bicycle from the second aunt, turned around and stopped near the door of his house, and went straight back to the house.

Liu Haizhong was extremely surprised, Yan Laoxi'er refused anything, and it was impossible to refuse other people's meals, what happened today?

"Old man!" The second aunt approached his ear angrily, quickly told the news that Liu Guangtian had brought back, and took the lead back to the backyard with the vegetables.

"Okay, you Yao Weimin, Cheng, then it's up to him, what do you like!" After listening to the bangs, he was furious, and he pulled down his face to reconcile, who would have thought that Yao Weimin would still put the score on the shelf!

"Second uncle, I think you, don't be busy jumping to conclusions, if I say the status of the second brother in our rolling mill, I guarantee that it will make your intestines regret, believe it or not?!"

While watching the excitement, Xu Damao spoke proudly for a long time, with a smug smile on his face.

As soon as he finished saying this, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Even Yi Zhonghai next to him frowned slightly, and a curious look appeared on his face.

"Don't believe it, do you? Go home and make some tea, and I'll teach you a lesson! ”

Xu Damao doesn't mind letting these uncles in the courtyard know the second brother's ability, and he doesn't know how to be polite when he meets in the future!
