"Yes, you know him?"
"Of course I know them. There's no one around here I don't know. I work for the management committee."
Tian Zao was too embarrassed to say it, but there had been rumors circulating for a while that He Daqing from Nanluoguxiang had run off with a widow, and Tian Zao was certainly aware of this sensational news.
Incidentally, it is also known that He Daqing left behind a son and a daughter.
"Thank you for your generosity. I hope it won't affect your life?"
"Even if I eat pickled vegetables every day, I should still donate when it's time to donate! Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
"You have a very high level of awareness. If you ever need any help in the future, just come to me, Tian Zao."
After saying goodbye to Tianzao, He Yuzhu went to the market to buy vegetables and returned to the courtyard house.
Yan Bugui was waiting in the yard when he saw He Yuzhu enter. He was very happy and came up to him warmly: "Zhuzi, you're off work?"
"Yes, Uncle Yan."
After He Yuzhu spoke, he felt something was strange. Why was Yan Bugui suddenly so enthusiastic today?
He asked with a smile, "Uncle Yan, is there some good news? Is your wife pregnant again?"
The Yan family currently only has three brothers, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiedi, and the fourth brother, Yan Jiedi, has not yet been born.
He Yuzhu guessed that Aunt Yan was pregnant again, otherwise Yan Bugui would have no reason to be so happy.
Yan Bugui blushed and said, "No, your aunt isn't pregnant."
He Yuzhu joked, "Could it be that Grandpa Yan is keeping a mistress on the side?"
Yan Bugui's family background was not good; he was a small business owner.
In the latter half of 50, class division began. The He family was a third-generation hired laborer, which was equivalent to poor peasants in the countryside.
Small business owners refer to individuals who own certain means of production or properties such as shops, enabling them to live and work independently, and may even employ a small number of workers.
Although Yan Bugui's life was very difficult in the TV series, he is actually quite wealthy now.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford a bicycle and a radio.
That's why He Yuzhu jokingly said that Yan Bugui had a mistress.
Yan Bugui's face turned even redder, and he said with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense, don't make things up."
"That's strange. Why are you so happy today? Did you find some money?"
"neither."
Yan Bugui shook his hand and then asked, "Zhuzi, do you think Grandpa treats you well?"
"Okay, of course, you're the kindest person to me in the whole courtyard."
He Yuzhu said this without blushing or panting; after all, being sweet-talking only brings benefits and no harm.
The biggest flaw of the original owner, He Yuzhu, was that he had a foul mouth and easily offended people with his words.
Yan Bugui was very pleased to hear this and smiled.
He Yuzhu asked, "After all this talk, what exactly is going on?"
Yan Bugui then calmed down and explained, "Let me tell you, the management committee is going to select managers from the various courtyard houses soon."
He Yuzhu was taken aback, not expecting this to happen so quickly.
In other words, after being chosen as the "elder" of the School of Management, Yi Zhonghai, with his age advantage and the good reputation he had deliberately cultivated, successfully became the "elder" of the School of Management.
He Yuzhu feigned ignorance: "What does that have to do with you?"
Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: Sha Zhu is still the same Sha Zhu. He seems smarter these days, but he's still the same person.
Can't you see something so obvious? You want to be the boss in charge.
Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Zhuzi, look at your Uncle Yan, I'm a teacher at the school, an intellectual, so isn't it only right that I be the one in charge?"
“Oh right, you’re still a small business owner,” He Yuzhu said directly.
Yan Bugui was taken aback, then pretended to be very angry and said, "You still have that foul mouth."
Then he said, "You see, your Uncle Yan treats you quite well, right? The election is about to start, so you must vote for your Uncle Yan."
"When did this happen?"
"I just heard about it from someone else, but it's said that this policy will be implemented in all the courtyards and streets in the near future."
"Alright, then I'll congratulate Grandpa Yan in advance."
"Congratulations!" He Yuzhu bowed and offered his congratulations.
Yan Bugui was overjoyed and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "You're too kind, you're too kind."
It turns out that Yan Bugui wanted to be the boss in charge, which is why he came to the door today to campaign for votes.
He Yuzhu said goodbye to Yan Bugui, went into his home and chatted with Yushui for a while, when suddenly he heard a commotion in the yard.
After Yan Jiecheng entered, he said, "Brother Zhu, the people from the management committee are here. They have something to announce."
"Okay, I'll come right away."
He Yuzhu got up, took out a hard candy from his pocket, and handed it over.
Yan Jiecheng was six or seven years younger than He Yuzhu. He was still a primary school student under 10 years old when he saw He Yuzhu give him a piece of hard candy and couldn't help but swallow.
He happily accepted it and thanked him joyfully, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhu."
After thanking him, Yan Jiecheng went to the next place.
He Yuzhu led He Yushui out of the house and into the front yard. There were already quite a few people in the courtyard, gathered in a circle, chatting with a little girl.
He Yuzhu was amused; it was quite a coincidence that he had run into an acquaintance.
Tian Zao was still wearing the same patched clothes, but standing in the middle of the yard, he looked radiant, energetic, and full of enthusiasm.
Upon seeing He Yuzhu, his eyes lit up: "Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu, so you live in this courtyard."
"It's Sister Tianzao! I'm so happy to see you again today."
It turned out that Tian Zao was in charge of this area, so He Yuzhu simply called her "sister".
That's great! My two donations today have left a very good impression on Tian Zao, and I can now establish a relationship with her in the future.
It is said that a local official is more powerful than a distant one. The courtyard house was located in Nanluoguxiang, which was under Tian Zao's jurisdiction. From then on, the courtyard house was under Tian Zao's jurisdiction.
"Thank you for your support of our work." Then, noticing the rain next to He Yuzhu, she squatted down and asked with a smile, "Oh my, whose daughter is this so pretty? What's your name?"
"Your sister is prettier."
He Yushui said happily, "My name is He Yushui."
Tian Zao chatted with Yu Shui for a few minutes, then stood up and spoke to He Yuzhu.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned, never expecting that He Yuzhu and Tian Zao from the management committee would be so familiar with each other.
Yan Bugui was also dumbfounded. Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind: Could He Yuzhu take this opportunity to become the manager of the compound?
Yi Zhonghai looked thoughtful as he watched the two chatting intimately.
Chapter 43 Using an Abacus
He had previously been swindled out of 300 yuan by He Yuzhu and wanted to retaliate.
He just hadn't figured out how to successfully trick He Yuzhu.
Seeing He Yuzhu and Tian Zao chatting so warmly now, my previous thoughts were overturned.
He Yuzhu, who did not know Tian Zao, was just an ordinary 16-year-old boy who was still working as an apprentice in the restaurant.
You can do whatever you want without any problem.
As long as the evidence is solid, it's acceptable to frame him once.
After all, that's 300 yuan, which is half a year's salary. You might not be able to save that much money in a year.
Anyone would be angry in that situation. Yi Zhonghai would want to kill Sha Zhu.
Right now, He Yuzhu and Tian Zao are chatting and laughing like siblings, leaving Yi Zhonghai unsure of their exact relationship.
If they were just ordinary friends, that would be fine, but if they were...
Don't underestimate Tian Zao just because she's an active member of the neighborhood committee; she has a powerful figure behind her: Director Li Changying of the management committee.
Everyone says that Director Li is very fond of Tian Zao, treating her like his own daughter, even more so than his own.
If framing He Yuzhu fails, and He Yuzhu then uses Tian Zao's power, wouldn't I, the instigator, end up in jail?
Yi Zhonghai quickly abandoned the idea of secretly dealing with He Yuzhu.
At the very least, we need to find out what the relationship is between He Yuzhu and Tian Zao, and how close they are.
A moment later, everyone in the courtyard had arrived, and Tian Zao coughed once before beginning his announcement.
The article begins by describing the situation at the front lines, where the reactionary UN forces were being driven back by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.
Everyone clapped their hands in delight.
This is the most exciting news.
