"Li Weiguo is too stingy. He bought a bicycle and didn't even treat us to a meal.”
"That's right. He's so stingy."
"I've long known that he's not a good person. Fortunately, Qin Huairu didn't marry him.”
……
Many people in the courtyard were gossiping.
Because Li Weiguo bought a bicycle, everyone in the quad was envious and jealous. Since Li Weiguo didn't treat them, everyone was very dissatisfied. Naturally, they didn't have anything good to say.
An auntie helped the deaf old lady to the courtyard to get some fresh air.
Looking at Li Weiguo, the Deaf Old Lady sighed.
The Deaf Old Lady was a shrewd person. She knew that Li Weiguo had done nothing wrong.
Back then, Qin Huairu hadn't married Jia Dongxu, and she hadn't gotten together with Jia Dongxu yet, so it didn't matter if Li Weiguo cut her off.
However, although Li Weiguo had failed in his attempt to steal Qin Huiru, the Jia family had given Qin Huiru a few more yuan as a betrothal gift because of the competition. This made Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu feel resentful. After marrying into the Jia family, Qin Huiru naturally stood on the same side as the Jia family.
Because the Jia family's influence in the Siheyuan had surpassed Li Weiguo's, and because Qin Huiru and the Jia family were on the same side, no one in the courtyard spoke up for Li Weiguo. They all ostracized him.
In the beginning, Li Weiguo did not feel good, but he gradually calmed down.
It wasn't a bad idea to draw a clear line with the beasts in this courtyard house.
If he worked hard and raised his salary, his life would become more and more comfortable.
Although his reputation was affected, it was not a big problem. Otherwise, there would not be so many people rushing to introduce Li Weiguo to a partner.
If Li Weiguo had a good reputation, he would have been introduced to more women.
In addition, the system had arranged for Li Weiguo to be a third-generation farmer.
He had a good background, a good reputation, a good job, and was tall and handsome. Therefore, there were many young women who took a fancy to Li Weiguo.
If it weren't for Li Weiguo's high standards, he would have already had a child.
Li Weiguo didn't care about the gossip of his neighbors.
Li Weiguo was the only one who would suffer if he fought against everyone in the quad alone. Therefore, he could not be impulsive.
Li Weiguo had suffered many grievances in the past few years, and he would definitely repay them double. With the help of the system, it would be easier for him to take revenge.
Outside, Xu Damao was also looking at Li Weiguo's bicycle.
Looking at the two or eight bars of the permanent card, Xu Damao liked it more and more.
Xu Damao was a projectionist in the publicity department of the rolling mill. His monthly salary was about 30 yuan. When he went to the village to show movies, there were additional subsidies. The village community would also give him some things. Therefore, he had half a year's salary to buy a bicycle.
Xu Damao had the money to buy a bicycle, but he didn't have a bicycle ticket.
"It must be a leader in the factory who gave Li Weiguo a bicycle ticket. Why didn't any leader give me a bicycle ticket!”Xu Damao was very jealous.
……
Ding, sign-in successful. 50 catties of eggs, 5 feet of cloth ticket.
When he woke up early in the morning, the first thing Li Weiguo did was to sign in.
"50 catties of eggs?" Li Weiguo was delighted.
Eggs were good stuff and were very popular in this era.
Eating eggs usually meant that he had good conditions.
Moreover, the eggs given by the system were relatively large, almost twice the size of the eggs in the market.
Eggs in this era were all small. It was very rare to see an egg as big as the one the system gave Li Weiguo.
The big eggs given by the system were sold for 10 cents each, and they were sold for more than 10 cents without tickets.
She took out two eggs and had millet porridge and stewed eggs for breakfast.
Even though the door was closed, the fragrance of millet porridge and stewed eggs could still be smelled.
In the Jia family's courtyard, Jia Zhangshi also smelled the fragrance.
Smelling the fragrance of millet porridge and stewed eggs, Jia Zhangshi felt that the bread in her hand was not fragrant.
"Li Weiguo is really a beast. He eats good food every day, but he doesn't know how to help us. Early in the morning, he even has millet porridge and stewed eggs.”Jia Zhangshi cursed.
Jia Dongxu's face darkened.
The stick and Little Dang cried. Then, the locust flower also cried.
"A stick is a growing body. As a mother, you don't know how to get something good. Why don't you go to Li Weiguo and ask for some back?”Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huiru.
Qin Huairu did not expect Jia Zhangshi to say such shameless words.
Why did Li Weiguo not have any contact with the Jia family? Most of the responsibility was on Jia Zhangshi.
Qin Huairu was speechless. Her mother-in-law was even more shameless than she had imagined.
With the Jia family's current relationship with Li Weiguo, it would be strange if they could get anything.
However, looking at the three crying children, Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and went to the backyard.
When they arrived at Li Weiguo's country, Qin Huiru was also craving for millet porridge and stewed eggs.
"Weiguo, I don't have much food at home. Can I borrow some?”As Qin Huairu spoke, her gaze was fixed on the millet porridge and stewed eggs.
"I'm sorry, I don't." Li Weiguo finished the millet porridge in his bowl in a few mouthfuls and then ate the stewed egg.
Qin Huairu looked disappointed. This was within her expectations.
Qin Huairu's brazen act of borrowing food from Li Weiguo was also seen by some people. Li Weiguo was so unreasonable that people would gossip about him again.
……
When Li Weiguo rode his bicycle to the factory, many workers were stunned.
When they arrived at the workshop, a few workers who had a good relationship with Li Weiguo came over. There were fitters, forgers, and millers.
"Weiguo, you're good! He actually bought a bicycle."
"In the future, when I borrow a bicycle from you, don't refuse!”
"I have to treat you."
……
Li Weiguo was not stingy with his friends." Let's go to a restaurant after work. I'll treat you."”
"That's very interesting."
The workers were all happy when they heard that they were going to a restaurant.
After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their respective posts.
The work in the workshop was more difficult. Li Weiguo was exhausted after work every day.
In comparison, Silly Zhu and Xu Damao's work was much easier.
Qin Huairu, who worked in Workshop No. 1, was inefficient. Moreover, most of her products were unqualified, which made the workshop director very angry.
If it wasn't for Yi Zhonghai's help, not a single workshop would want Qin Huiru.
Yi Zhonghai was now a Level Seven Mechanic, but he was close to becoming a Level Eight Mechanic.
It was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to get into the eighth-grade fitter this year. It should be about the same next year.
After work, Li Weiguo invited his friends to a restaurant.
They sat at three tables in a small restaurant near the rolling mill.
Next, each table had a meat dish and a few vegetarian dishes. The wine was Xifeng wine, and the cigarettes were not bad either. It was 12 cents per pack.
This time, he spent more than ten yuan on the meal, but Li Weiguo didn't take it to heart.
"Brother Li, let me toast you." A worker stood up.
The atmosphere at the table was lively, with people talking and laughing.
After the meal, everyone went home.
Li Weiguo was the only one who had a bicycle. Other than Li Weiguo, everyone else walked home.
Riding the bicycle, the evening breeze blew against his face, and Li Weiguo was half sober.
When they returned to the courtyard house, the sky was already completely dark.
