Chapter 180: Encountering Big Brother and Visiting the Yang Family
Yao Weimin saw that Gangzi was a little stunned, and continued with a smile:
"Just tell him that I'm your brother, don't worry about the rest, of course, you have to remember one thing, that is, you don't need to reveal it to him about the business!"
Gangzi nodded when he heard this, and his expression was relieved, "Don't worry, second brother, I won't even tell Han Chunhong about the business in the future, and I won't tell anyone without your order!" ”
"Hmm." Yao Weimin smiled and nodded, and the two chatted for a while, and Gangzi disappeared into the night outside with the preserved eggs in the courtyard.
Yao Weimin put all the money into the space, and then roughly estimated, and speculated that the volume of goods in the pigeon market outside should be almost gone, and he needed to send a telegram to the monkey to buy it in the south, and this time he decided to bring more back, the province is always running back and forth, which is very time-consuming.
The next day, Yao Weimin rode his bicycle to a winemaking workshop in a suburban county to buy 100 catties of pure grain loose wine, and then went to the Liulichangfang market outside the Peace Gate to buy two large wine jars, and then returned home.
He poured the loose wine into a cleaned jar, threw a few old ginseng, sealed it, and put it in the corner of the house.
In the afternoon, after he went to the post office to send a telegram to the monkey, he went to the purchasing station and came to Xiao Hongying's office to report on the work of the previous business trip.
After talking about things at work, Xiao Hongying lowered her voice and revealed to him some of the contents of yesterday's meeting.
The meeting was presided over by the leaders above, one of which made Xiao Hongying feel very surprised, Jiang Xiong will step down as the president of the cooperative and transfer to other units, and the new president will be rearranged by the Material Allocation Bureau to take over.
"Weimin, don't you think it's strange? President Jiang did a good job, why was he transferred away coldly, you were called to talk to the club the day before yesterday, everything is going well, right? ”
Xiao Hongying asked with concern.
"Well, thank you Sister Hongying for your concern, she asked me about some work at that time, which is equivalent to going to make a work report to the leaders, and let me come back after speaking." Yao Weimin responded calmly.
"That's good, Weimin, don't have any other thoughts next, I used to be too careful, and I blamed me for being bad, which created a lot of tension for you, haha......" Xiao Hongying smiled apologetically and blamed herself.
"By the way, you don't want to complain, don't worry, my sister knows that you have a strong work ability, and I will continue to help you apply for the position of officer at the right time, this matter is on me!"
She was worried about Yao Weimin's grievances, so she assured with a serious face.
"......" Yao Weimin was both grateful and helpless, and after a deep sigh, he smiled and said: "Sister Hongying, just let it be, I'm used to being casual, let me experience a year or two more in the grassroots position, I'm actually very satisfied with my current work." ”
"Hey, don't be polite with my sister, you don't have to worry about this, wait for my good news!" Xiao Hongying disagreed, got up with the cup and went to the cabinet next to her to add hot water.
Seeing this, Yao Weimin didn't wait, stood up and said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the door of the office.
"Oh yes, Weimin, it's hard to travel for so long, you can rest at home these days, just go to work on time next Monday!" Xiao Hongying turned her head and reminded.
"Thank you, Sister Hongying!" Yao Weimin opened the door and walked out of the office.
After leaving the purchasing station, he returned to his home to boil a kettle of water, brewed tea and rested leisurely for a while.
According to the time agreed with Gangzi, I walked into the largest mutton hot pot restaurant.
Gangzi was already waiting for him on the first floor, and when he saw the second brother arrive, he hurriedly urged a young girl next to him: "Chunhong, this is my second brother, hurry up and say hello!" ”
"Hello second brother, my name is Han Chunhong, I am the object of Gangzi, please go upstairs!" Han Chunhong had a good face and greeted Yao Weimin a little shyly.
"Hello Comrade Han Chunhong, don't be so polite, is your dad here?" Yao Weimin asked with a smile.
"Second brother, I'm sorry, my dad is still busy, and he said that he would be there later." Han Chunhong explained a little unnaturally.
Seeing this, Gangzi took over the conversation, with an impatient face, "Second brother, you don't know, just her father's son, they are about to lose their money, I said to tell him to pack up and come over for dinner early, and guess what, you have to go to the pigeon market again to rest assured, you have to go upstairs first, I'll pull him back!" ”
"Gangzi, can you speak more civilly, my dad is trying to make money and doesn't want to save more for the two of us in the future......" Han Chunhong pinched Gangzi, slightly angry.
"Gotta gotcha, drag half of the leg I can use him to make money, I, okay, I'll accompany my second brother to drink tea and wait, you are numb, tell your father that you can't catch up within five minutes, let my second brother wait too long, and the deal will be discussed in the future!" Gangzi deliberately behaved a little bit in front of Yao Weimin, and reprimanded Han Chunhong nonchalantly.
Han Chunhong didn't dare to slack off, glanced at Gangzi, greeted Yao Weimin politely, and really walked out of the store quickly.
"Second brother, please upstairs!" Gangzi put on a smiling face and took Yao Weimin upstairs into the private room.
The reason why Han Sanshun has the nickname of Han Ban Zi is because he was blown off half of his leg by a bomb when he was young, and his left leg was below the knee, and he was connected with a wooden bracket, but don't look at it as a disability, a few years ago, he grabbed land between the stubborn lords of Sijiu City, and with a ruthless spirit, he was also like Hua Li, he broke out of his name, and few people dared not buy his account on the side of Dongsi.
"Second brother, you drink tea, hehe......" Gangzi waited for Yao Weimin to sit down, and hurriedly poured tea with a smile and handed over cigarettes.
Yao Weimin put the cigarette roll aside, chatted with Gangzi for a while, and saw the door of the private room being pushed open.
Han Chunhong walked in with her father Han Sanshun panting.
"Haha...... When the guest arrives, I Han has lost my welcome, you will take care of it! Han Sanshun is of medium height, very skillful in speaking polite words in the rivers and lakes, and he is old and steady, but although he is neatly dressed, his face faintly exudes a hint of recklessness.
Yao Weimin fell in love at first sight and felt that this person was very suitable for his standards.
"Well, sit." Yao Weimin nodded, looking at Han Sanshun with a smile.
"I'll introduce you!" Gangzi stood up and pointed at Han Sanshun and said respectfully to Yao Weimin: "Second brother, this is the Dongsi Han half-cut that I mentioned to you, my future father-in-law, he is absolutely reliable, you can do it if you have something!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Han Sanshun again, "Old Han, hurry up, the second brother asked you to sit, what are you doing in a daze?!" ”
Gangzi was full of thoughts, worried that Han Sanshun would be disrespectful to Yao Weimin, so he simply put his posture out at the beginning.
Even he was so respectful and polite to his second brother in person, so as long as Han Sanshun was not stupid, he should know what attitude to show to face the second brother.
"There is no size in the rivers and lakes, the one who reaches is the first, the second brother of Gangzi is the second brother of my old Han, the second brother, the words just now were offended, I hope you Haihan!" Han Sanshun's tone was much more cautious and respectful, and he was no longer as casual as just now.
"Sit down and talk while you eat." Yao Weimin beckoned and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Chunhong, order the food!" After Han Sanshun sat down, he said to his daughter, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Yao Weimin.
"Since you and Gangzi are still friends, then I will call you Lao Han in the future." Yao Weimin was the first to speak, and said straight to the point: "I have something here that needs your cooperation in the future, I don't know if you can help me with this." ”
When Han Sanshun heard this, he immediately responded: "Second brother is serious, but according to orders, as long as I can do it, there is no second word!" ”
"Okay, just now, you go to the door and watch a little, don't let outsiders in without my instructions." Yao Weimin gestured to Gangzi, who immediately got up and walked out of the private room and closed the door from the outside.
This made Han Sanshun Tongkong shrink slightly, and saw with his own eyes that Gangzi carried out the second brother's order, which was really vigorous and resolute, without a trace of Hanhu.
In particular, he vaguely guessed that it must be unusual for the second brother to explain his own affairs, otherwise he would not let Gangzi guard at the door, so his expression was solemn, he leaned forward slightly respectfully, and listened carefully to Yao Weimin's story......
After about ten minutes, Han Sanshun got up and pushed open the door of the private room, signaled his daughter, who was also guarding the door, to let the food be served, and invited Gangzi into the house.
"Heaven Descends"
Waiting for the wine and food to be served, Han Sanshun took the lead in raising the wine glass with a respectful expression, "Second brother, your business will be my business in the future, and I need my cooperation at any time, my old Han will be in place at any time, and I will guarantee to help you get things done!" ”
"I'm relieved to have your words." Yao Weimin also raised his wine glass, and motioned to Gangzi and Han Chunhong: "Come on, let's go together." ”
The four of them laughed and ate.
The meal was eaten at more than nine o'clock, and during the banquet, Yao Weimin jokingly asked Gangzi when the two would get married, and Gangzi responded with a smug smile, basically set up a banquet with Han Chunhong during the May Day holiday.
Leaving the restaurant, Gangzi motioned for Han Chunhong to take her father home, and he accompanied Yao Weimin back to the courtyard to settle the settlement.
For the next two days, Yao Weimin did not go to work and rested at home.
Therefore, I also spent more time meeting with Shen Wenli, and almost every night I would go to the courtyard for dinner, and then Yao Weimin would send her home.
During this period, Yao Weimin deliberately went to the courtyard to find Yang Yuejin, and Yang Yuejin took the fat dog to drink with him.
"Yuejin, our buddies have known each other for so long, I have never been to your house, it is convenient to catch up with one day, take me to recognize the family, just a few days ago on a business trip, buddy Tao got some good things, right as a gift to uncle and aunt, I guess they will definitely like it!"
Yao Weimin drank the wine in the cup and said with a mysterious smile.
"Cheng, come if you want, my family doesn't pay so much attention, but you can say it first, don't bring wine to my father, the doctor said, his body can't drink now, if you bring wine to the door, first of all, my sister will not be able to pass the pass!"
Yang Yuejin reminded without mind.
"Don't worry, what I bring, your sister will be happy to see it, and I guess she will look forward to me sending it to your home every day!" Yao Weimin quipped.
"Oh, I don't think that sounds right! I'll tell you, we're buddies, so let's stop beating my sister's idea! Yang Yuejin was a little drunk, and his speech was a little brainless.
"Fuck off, Lao Tzu is a person with a daughter-in-law, it's useless, your sister agrees and I don't agree!" Yao Weimin scolded with a smile.
"Hey, you're doing it, aren't you?!" Yang Yuejin put the wine glass on the table, his face was full of pride, "Fat dog, give it to my brother, I can't drink him Yao Weimin today, count me as losing!" ”
"Fuck off, I'll tell you about business, tomorrow Saturday, I'll be waiting honestly at the gate of the compound at night, maybe I can let you open your eyes first!"
Yao Weimin reminded seriously.
"Cheng, it's decided, come to my house for dinner tomorrow, whoever doesn't come will have a grandson!" Yang Yuejin said, taking care of himself and toasting again.
The fat dog grinned beside him, he could see that Yang Yuejin really regarded Yao Weimin as a good buddy, an ordinary friend of wine and meat, but he rarely dared to take him home to entertain him.
In the evening of the next day, Yao Weimin put the prepared ginseng buns into his satchel and rushed to the gate of the compound.
As a result, I didn't see Yang Yuejin, but ran into my eldest brother Yao Weiguo!
"Weimin, come here." Yao Weiguo came back from work on his bicycle and saw his younger brother standing at the gate of the courtyard, hesitated slightly, and said hello.
"If you have something, just say it, and go back to your home if it's okay!" Yao Weimin glanced at him, standing on the side of the bicycle and didn't plan to go over.
Yao Weiguo looked stunned, and then showed a smile, "Okay, when you are a brother, you want to let you, don't compete with you like this!" ”
As he spoke, he parked his bicycle and walked up to Yao Weimin, with a smile on his face, "Dad asked you to come to me?" ”
Yao Weimin glanced at him calmly and shook his head slowly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm waiting for a friend, and I have nothing to do with you." ”
"Heh, whatever you say, by the way, I just want to tell you something, Junxiu and I have shared a house in the past two days, so the two big rooms in the family are left to you, the old man of the province said that I fight, right?!"
Yao Weiguo said with a smug smile.
"When you have time to go home and tell your parents, follow me, you can't talk to me." Yao Weimin looked at him calmly and said.
"That's right, hehe......" Yao Weiguo smiled even more and glanced at the door of the compound, "What's the matter, do you want me to send you in?" You're waiting here, and if someone forgets to come out to pick you up, you'll have to wait forever. ”
Yao Weimin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he heard this, this big brother always likes to show off that little bit of pitiful vanity, and he is really hopeless.
He didn't pay attention to Yao Weiguo, but beckoned to the courtyard.
Because at this time, Yang Yuejin had already run quickly outside, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Wei Min! I'm sorry, I'm a little late, it's not to treat you well, I went to buy a live chicken, my aunt is busy with other dishes, I see that the time has already been put aside at home to kill the chicken and remove the hair, haha......"
Yang Yuejin greeted loudly from afar.
"It's very capable, you, you have this craft, you dare to be kind, go back to my house for dinner, and the work of killing chickens and removing feathers will also be handed over to you!" Yao Weimin still didn't pay attention to Yao Weiguo, but pushed his bicycle and walked towards the courtyard.
Because Yang Yuejin greeted him, the people standing guard did not stop him at all, and Yao Weimin entered the compound in a big way.
Yao Weiguo, who was still standing in place, looked sluggish, and his head couldn't turn for a while.
Soon, his face became more and more gloomy, his brows were furrowed, he looked at the backs of Yao Weimin and Yang Yuejin who were gradually walking away, and swung his fist fiercely into the air......
Yao Weimin followed Yang Yue into his small courtyard, walked up the steps in front of the house, and entered the living room.
"Su Hua, this is my friend, Yao Weimin, who is from the same unit as Jianjun, I came to visit my parents today, you come and get to know me!" Yang Yuejin shouted to Yang Suhua, who was busy with her cooking aunt in the kitchen.
Yang Suhua wiped his hands with his apron when he heard this, and came to Yao Weimin generously, stretched out his hand and said seriously: "Hello Comrade Yao Weimin, my name is Yang Suhua, I am currently working in the newspaper, I remember seeing you, last time you and Su Jianjun called my brother to drink, this time you came to my house as a guest, first say yes, you can eat more vegetables, but be sure to drink less, I speak more straight, please forgive me!" ”
Yao Weimin's smile on his face remained unchanged when he heard this, so he wouldn't care about these things with a little girl, so he stretched out his hand and shook Yang Suhua.
smiled and said: "Hello Comrade Yang Suhua, I have written down your instructions, and I promise to implement them conscientiously and implement them in place, in addition, I have to say that I appreciate your honesty, young people, you should speak directly, especially if you are engaged in writing work, you need to have such a quality." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, Weimin is almost done, hand, let go of your hand!" Yang Yuejin walked over angrily and personally separated the hands held by the two.
Seeing this, Yao Weimin smiled and hammered Yang Yuejin, feeling that this guy was too sensitive and misunderstood what he meant.
At this time, Yang Suhua was slightly stunned, looked at Yao Weimin, who was laughing with his brother, and couldn't help but look deeply a few times.
"Isn't Yao Weimin here, it's so lively downstairs!" Yang Shouwang walked down the stairs at this time and greeted with a warm smile.
"Hello uncle, I took the liberty to visit, didn't disturb you?" Yao Weimin stood up from the sofa and responded politely.
"Haha...... When you get home, you don't have to be so cramped, I heard Lao Su say about your kid's situation, well, well done, it's a good material! Yang Shouwang laughed, walked down the stairs, and sat down on the sofa on the other side.
"Uncle praise, I went on a business trip to the Northeast a few days ago, and I changed some gadgets, and I came to the door for the first time today, so I didn't pay respect, and I brought it to you!" Yao Weimin said and took out the ginseng buns from his shoulder bag.
"Oh?" Yang Shouwang looked at the ginseng buns on the table, and couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes showed a strong curiosity.
"It's ...... Fresh ginseng? He was well-informed, quickly recognized, and asked seriously.
Yao Weimin nodded, and while opening the ginseng bun, he explained: "Don't get me wrong, the local price of this thing is cheaper than our Sijiu City, and the little money I save from my monthly salary can still afford a few, except for my father and future father-in-law, this one will be brought to you!" ”
After he finished speaking, after opening the ginseng bun, he revealed the fresh mountain ginseng inside, which was also a four-year ginseng with three branches, and the lampstand.
The eyes of Yang Shouwang and Yang Yuejin's father and son were immediately attracted, and they carefully looked at the mountain ginseng on the table, and did not speak for a long time.
Yang Suhua, who was standing next to him, looked slightly stunned after hearing Yao Weimin mention the word 'father-in-law', but it didn't change much, and turned straight to the kitchen to help the cooking aunt.
"Done! Weimin, you're really done, it's so interesting, buddy! Yang Yuejin was overjoyed, he had basically been in the courtyard and Sijiu City before, he had almost never been out of Sijiu City, and he had never seen fresh wild ginseng, looking at his father's eager eyes, his gratitude to Yao Weimin was beyond words.
"Weimin, how much did you buy this thing?" Yang Shouwang raised his head and asked with a smile.
Yao Weimin waved his hand, "Uncle, this is my little heart, let's not mention the money, if you mention the money, it will be a slap in the face, I said, this ginseng is for you." ”
"That's not good, I can't take a few hundred yuan, so, Yuejin, go up and ask your mother to get you money, well, take three hundred yuan to Weimin!" Yang Shouwang waved his hand and ordered strongly.
"Uncle, I really can't ask for this money!" Yao Weimin resolutely refused.
"Wei Min! Either accept the money, or you bring this ginseng back, I will do what I say, I am very grateful that you have this heart, but I still can't violate the principle issue, do you understand what I mean? Yang Shouwang explained seriously.
Seeing this, Yao Weimin knew that it would not be good to be polite, so he had the heart to give it away, but Yang Shouwang's attitude was also obvious, and he didn't want to destroy the principles he adhered to.
After Yang Yuejin went upstairs to get the money and handed it to Yao Weimin, Yang Shouwang's face showed a look of joy again.
"Haha...... Weimin, I accepted your wishes, it's not easy, you can still think about me, an old man, within the scope of your ability in the future, just come to me if you have anything! ”
Yao Weimin nodded politely and sat on the sofa to chat with him.
After dinner in the evening, Yao Weimin sat at Yang's house for a while, then got up to say goodbye, Yang Yuejin has been sent out of the courtyard, and at the same time asked for the address of the courtyard, claiming that according to his father's wishes, he will go to visit and get to know him tomorrow.
Yao Weimin nodded in agreement, and under Yang Yuejin's eyes, he rode a bicycle and left the compound.
The next day was Sunday, and Yao Weimin went to pick up Shen Wenli and returned to the courtyard.
"Weimin, it's early enough to come back today!" Yan Bugui greeted with a smile as always.
Yao Weimin stopped when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Third master, do you know why you came back early?" You ate at your own house at noon today, I'm in for a treat, please have a few drinks, can you give this noodles? ”
"You kid, I've been waiting for so long, the third master, you finally came to repay your vows, Cheng, this face must be given! I'll go to your house on time at noon, won't it be over! Yan Bugui nodded happily with a happy face.
Passing by the middle courtyard, Yao Weimin knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door again, an uncle is also invited, the two uncles are nothing more than a matter of fast children, there is no need to treat this kind of thing differently, it doesn't matter in the outside society, but the neighborhood is really very particular about this.
"Uncle Yi, come to my house to eat at noon, I haven't drunk with you for a long time, I'll make a table at noon, and we'll be lively together!"
Yao Weimin invited with a smile.
"Haha...... Weimin, you're too polite, aren't you? Cheng, go back to the house, I'll be sure to come over later! Yi Zhonghai was a little flattered and responded with a laugh.
Walking to the backyard, Yao Weimin hesitated, but still knocked on the door of Liu Haizhong's house.
It turned out that the door of the house was locked, and the whole family in Liu Haizhong was not there.
Seeing this, Yao Weimin took Shen Wenli back to his house, and just said hello to his parents, and before he could say a few words, he heard a fierce noise in the middle courtyard, accompanied by Jia Zhang's crying and wailing.
