Open the door.

Qin Huairu, a pretty widow, stood at the door gracefully.

The sun shone down on her jet-black hair, gilding her with a golden glow.

"Brother Weidong, when you came back, you didn't tell me a word, but I only found out when I saw a jeep parked outside the door."

Qin Huairu bit her light red lip and said coquettishly.

This woman's courage is getting bigger and bigger Li Weidong looked up at the residents passing by, and his face was calm: "Uncle Yi, is there something wrong with you so early?" ”

Seeing that Li Weidong didn't accept the invitation, Qin Huairu knew that both of them would have to go to work later, so he could only put his careful thoughts back into his stomach.

pursed his lips and smiled: "I came here today to tell you that Yan Jiecheng's marriage will be tomorrow." ”

"Yan Jiecheng is married?"

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment,

Only then did I remember that Qin Huairu had been a matchmaker for Yan Xie a while ago.

Marriage is a big deal no matter what age it is.

Although it is a new society now, there is no need for three media and six hiring, but the necessary procedures are still indispensable.

It's just that it's only been a few days, and even if it's too late to get engaged, why are you going to get married?

Qin Huairu seemed to explain this problem to the residents, and said skillfully: "Oh, Yan Jiecheng's age is not young, and the woman has also reached the age of marriage, and the two of them looked at each other when they met." In addition, new things are now advocated on the streets, and there is no need to copy the old yellow calendar, so the marriage will naturally be advanced. ”

"Really?" Li Weidong glanced at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "Is the Yan family going to handle this?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's expression was a little ugly, and he pursed his lips: "Comrade Yan Bugui actively responded to the call from above, carried forward the spirit of diligence and thrift, he went deep into the masses, and truly came from the masses and went to the masses, he"

"Speak human words." Li Weidong glared.

"The banquet of your family in Yanbu is held in our compound." Qin Huairu lowered his head.

secretly scolded Yan Bugui in his heart for being an old pick.

As far as Chen Yuanyuan's appearance and identity are concerned, not to mention Lao Mo, at least he should have a few tables in Donglaishun.

Sure enough, just like last time, Li Weidong remembered that the last time Yan Jiecheng got married, it was a banquet held in the compound.

It's just that before the bride came to the courtyard, she was found out by Liu Guangqi because of her identity, and Huang was gone.

I hope Yan Jiecheng's luck will be better this time

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Li Weidong turned his head and was about to go to work, but was stopped by Qin Huairu again.

"That, Yan Bugui said that it is not easy for his family to get married once, and he has to collect four yuan from each family."

"Four bucks?" Li Weidong stopped and frowned: "This old Yan wants to eat fart!" ”

In this era, the average neighbor handed gifts to each other, basically within one dollar.

A dollar may not seem like much, but it's actually a lot.

I think that when Li Weidong got married, because "the family was poor", the residents each paid five cents to help him hold a feast.

As a result, they all ate round stomachs, and there were still a lot of dishes left.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong smiled: "I remember that when I got married, Yan Bugui handed over five cents, according to the rules, Yan Jiecheng got married, and I could only take five cents, otherwise I would look down on Yan Jiecheng." ”

"Look down?"

"Yes, if I pay more than him, isn't it a bit of a deliberate show off of strength?"

Li Weidong said slowly: "Yan Bugui is the third master of our compound, and he is an old teacher, and I still respect him very much." ”

Qin Huairu: "."

Qin Huairu didn't bother too much about the gift money, after all, she was just a matchmaker, and as long as the matchmaker said that she was a matchmaker, she would complete her job.

She seemed to remember something, the brilliance in her eyes flowed, and she bit her light red lip: "Brother Weidong, you shouldn't have to go to the machinery factory today, right?" ”

"The equipment over there in the machine factory is about to be produced, so there is no need to keep an eye on it." Li Weidong glanced at Qin Huairu deeply and nodded: "In the next few days, I will prepare for the installation of the production line in the poverty alleviation workshop." ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu threw a wink, lowered his head and left.

Looking at her back, the corners of Li Weidong's mouth curled slightly.

This woman, I'm going to be dishonest again.

Yan Jiecheng's wedding banquet is the Yan family's top priority at present.

Early in the morning, Yan Bugui called the three mothers, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi to the hall to hold a morning meeting.

Yan Bugui sat on the chair with a smug expression: "Everyone, tomorrow is the wedding of Jiecheng, and it is also the moment for our Yan family to show their faces, in order to welcome this glorious moment, we must work together and unite together." ”

After speaking, he saw the three mothers sitting there, and his eyes widened with dissatisfaction: "Quack and quack, is it really a cadre to be a big parent?" ”

"Ugh"

Everyone in the Yan family reacted, and the scene burst into warm applause.

Yan Bugui nodded contentedly: "Okay, if there are more, I will be proud." ”

"Phew"

An inopportune voice sounded, Yan Bugui's face suddenly darkened, and he followed the voice.

Seeing that it was Jia Zhang's legs that lifted Erlang's legs, swallowed melon seeds, and slices of melon seeds were scattered all over the ground.

He shook his head helplessly and withdrew his gaze.

When Yan Jiecheng got married, he would drive the old pious woman out and let her be proud for a while.

"Now I'm going to announce the personnel decision."

Yan Bugui shook his head and took out a piece of red paper from his pocket as he spoke.

"Old woman, your task is to send invitations to every family."

The three mothers were stunned for a moment, and said curtly: "Old Yan, this time it won't be the same as last time, and let the family pay six yuan as a gift, right?" ”

remembered that last time, because of the gift money of six yuan, the residents actually started a new stove, but it achieved a good thing for Li Weidong.

Yan Bugui was so angry that his heart hurt.

He covered his heart and waved his hand: "This time, we only need four yuan of gift money." ”

"Four dollars still seems like a lot." The three mothers looked worried.

Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and he helped the frame of his glasses: "I said that you are an old woman, you really don't understand anything at all, isn't my old Yan's face worth four yuan?" Okay, don't say more, just do what I say! ”

"That's good."

The three mothers knew Yan Bugui's temperament, so they didn't say anything more, and took the invitation card and walked out of the house.

Yan Bugui set his eyes on Yan Jiecheng again: "Xie Cheng, you and Xie Di are responsible for purchasing food, and just like last time, buy more cheap things like cabbage and white radish." ”

"Where's the meat? Uncle Yuanyuan is coming to the feast, and we don't prepare any meat dishes, which doesn't look good. ”

"That's okay, if you buy a pound of meat, you are only allowed to buy a pound, and you are not allowed to buy more."

As he spoke, he handed over a handful of money and tickets.

Yan Jiecheng took the money and tickets, and ran away with Yan Jiedi.

Now there is only one last item left, hiring a cook.

The cook in the fence last time had diarrhea recently and couldn't come to Yan's house to cook.

Silly Zhu and Li Weidong wear a pair of pants, and now they are strict with their wives, and they can't count on it.

Yan Bugui had already inquired about it, and there was a cook in the machinery factory, named Nan Yi, who was the heir of the imperial chef of the palace.

Nan Yi also beat the stupid pillar in the cooking competition some time ago.

Although he has the home advantage in the field, the competition is not fair, but it can be seen that his cooking skills are on par with Silly Zhu.

A few days ago, Yan Bugui contacted Nanyi through a relationship, and reached a cooperation intention with Nanyi at the cost of a jar of century-old West Lake Longjing.

"Jiefang, you go and inform Nan Yi and ask him to come to our Yan family on time tomorrow morning to cook."

"By the way, send this jar of tea to Nanyi."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui took out a ball of yellow satin from his box, untied the yellow satin, and there was a wooden box lying inside.

The wooden box is antique, with embossed patterns on it, and the lock is covered with large pieces of patina, which looks like it is some years old.

Gently opening the wooden box and sniffing the rich fragrance of tea, Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed.

This tea was handed down by the ancestors, if it weren't for Yan Jiecheng's marriage, he would really be reluctant to give it away.

Sons and daughters, ghosts who come to collect debts!

Yan Bugui sighed with emotion and handed the wooden box to Yan Jiefang.

"Don't worry, I'll go."

Yan Jiefang took the box and put it in his pocket, and did not go out immediately, but turned his head and smiled: "Dad, the machinery factory is far away from us, you see that Li Weidong is driving a jeep back and forth, can you borrow me a bicycle at home?" ”

"Five cents." Yan Bugui stretched out his hand.

Yan Jiefang cried and mourned: "Dad, I'm doing something for our Yan family, why do I have to charge bicycle fees?" ”

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, you want to take that female worker to the park, right?" Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp.

After graduating from junior high school, Yan Jiefang, like Yan Jiecheng, entered the rolling mill as a fitter.

Recently, I got very close to a female comrade named Zhou Dahong.

The two often press the road after work, which is quite a bit of a friend.

was poked by Yan Bugui and thought about it, Yan Jiefang could only take out five cents from his pocket and hand it over.

"That's right."

Yan Bugui put the money in his pocket, feeling a little excited.

Early in the morning, I made money, which is a good sign.

Suddenly.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

The three mothers ran in in a hurry, and said nervously: "Oh no, old man, the residents of the courtyard are only willing to give five cents as a gift." ”

"What!"

Yan Bugui's face changed drastically: "Didn't you tell them the strength of our Yan family according to what I taught you?" ”

"I said it!" The three mothers smiled bitterly: "But those residents said that the last time Li Weidong got married, they only paid five cents." Yu Li is still the second uncle, and she is one level higher than you, if the gift money this time is more than last time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the second uncle? ”

"This" Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth: "Damn Li Weidong, it must be you who are making trouble behind your back!" ”

"Ahh Ahh ”

Li Weidong walked in the warm sunlight and couldn't help but sneeze twice.

"Master, do you have a cold?" Niu Meng crooked her cute little face and asked worriedly beside her.

"No, maybe someone is talking about it, you go on."

"During the days when you went to the machinery factory, the comrades of the logistics department had already built a new plant. The new plant has a total of 2,300 square meters, and the internal power supply system is all in place. ”

"Also, the neighborhood office has already reported the list of newly recruited temporary workers."

As he spoke, Niu Meng took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Li Weidong.

took it and looked at it carefully, and the stone in Li Weidong's heart fell to the ground.

The most critical criterion for recruiting workers in the poverty alleviation workshop is poor households, and it cannot be the kind of idleness.

In addition to the name of the temporary worker, the list also contains information about the specific family and the evaluation of the person by the neighborhood office.

"Director Wang of the Street Office seems to be attentive." Li Weidong exclaimed.

The corners of Niu Meng's mouth curled slightly, and her expression was a little proud: "Of course she has to be careful, the news that our poverty alleviation workshop is recruiting temporary workers has now spread all over the capital. ”

"If Director Wang doesn't hurry up, he may be preempted."

Li Weidong doesn't pay attention to these things on weekdays, these people are all received by Niu Meng.

For the poverty alleviation workshop, Niu Meng originally thought it was just an ordinary workshop, and the reason why Li Weidong served as the director of the poverty alleviation workshop was purely to pursue progress.

Seeing the expectant looks of those street office directors and hearing the calculations of the temporary workers after getting their salaries, Niu Meng realized the ordinary greatness of the poverty alleviation workshop.

That's right, Niu Meng feels that in addition to "ordinary greatness", there is no other word to describe the importance of the poverty alleviation workshop.

With the poverty alleviation workshop, those temporary workers who are deeply impoverished can have money to buy food, pay for their children's tuition, and have money to treat their mothers.

Master, this is the greatness of the ordinary!

Hearing Niu Meng's words, Li Weidong frowned slightly: "We have a cooperative relationship with the Courtyard Street Office, and with Director Wang's serious checks, we can recruit excellent workers, and this cooperation is mutually beneficial, not unilateral charity." ”

Li Weidong handed over the recruitment quota to the courtyard street office, which was not selfish.

But more importantly, each of these temporary workers recruited by Director Wang is hard-working.

Otherwise, Li Weidong would not still hand over the second batch of recruitment quotas to the Courtyard Street Office.

"Mmmm, master, I was a little proud just now, and you were right in your criticism."

When Niu Meng realized his mistake, he immediately admitted his mistake.

Of course, Li Weidong won't blame her, "I'm not here for a while, thanks to you staring at the workshop, and when the workshop is officially running, I have to thank you." ”

"How can you thank you?" Niu Meng smiled and was happy.

"You decide."

"I haven't figured it out yet, can I keep the account first." Niu Meng's big eyes were dripping and rolling, her little face suddenly blushed, and her hands pulled the corners of her clothes.

Seeing her like this, Li Weidong was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

The two chatted a few words, and Li Weidong thought that Chen Xueru was still making clothes in the studio, so he wanted to see the progress of her work.

As soon as he said goodbye to Niu Meng, a pretty figure flashed not far away.

"Director Li, you are here, there is something going on in our courtyard, I want to discuss it with you."

The person who came was Qin Huairu.

Seeing Qin Huairu scratching his head, a vigilance flashed in Niu Meng's eyes, and he couldn't help but pout.

However, Qin Huairu's reasons are very legitimate, and she has no way to stop them.

I can only go back to the workshop in a huff.

Looking at the busy workers, Niu Meng fell into deep thought.

'What do you want from the master?' ’

Push a quadrangle
