When the second uncle saw that the first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, had left, he hurriedly panicked and did not even decline. He turned to the seat of the leader and said in an official tone,
"Since Little Lin has said so, I will replace Old Yi in the future to preside over the work of our courtyard. Ah, this…I will definitely raise my spirits and lead our courtyard to meet the challenges of the times with a brand new look.”
"Good, very well said. Everyone clap.”
Hua ~
Amid the applause, Third Uncle Yan Bugui took the opportunity to sit where Second Uncle had been sitting. He adjusted his new glasses and said with a smile,"From now on, I will fully support Second Uncle…No, I should call him First Uncle now…I will give the people in the hospital a good start.”
The second elder glanced at Lin Tianjiao, then at the empty third seat. He knew that it was time for him to express his gratitude. Look at the third elder, Yan Bugui, who was so good at causing trouble. He had already defected long ago, but what about him? As a new official, how was he going to repay the people who helped him take over the power?
It was very simple. Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who was addicted to being an official, thought-return the favor and transfer the benefits.
Therefore, Second Uncle deliberately started a topic and said,"This…Old Yan, I'm the first grandpa now, and you're the second grandpa.”
Third Master Yan Bugui was not stupid. He immediately understood and said,"One less Third Master. Oh, right, Old Liu, don't you pay attention to giving young cadres a chance to shine?
I feel that Lin Tianjiao is not bad. You see…he just solved the theft case a few days ago, and today he promised to distribute the eggs to every household in the courtyard. This kind of dedication, this kind of awareness, oh, and also his unyielding attitude towards bullying, he was born to be a cadre.”
"You're right, you're right." The second uncle turned around and pointed at the empty seat of the third uncle beside Lin Tianjiao,"Xiao Lin, if you ask me, this seat is yours.”
Lin Tianjiao wasn't interested in the identity of the manager of the courtyard house at all. He pointed at himself and shook his head,"Me? I can't, but I can recommend someone.”
Third Master Yan Bugui asked curiously,""Who is it?"
Lin Tianjiao smiled and said," Xu Damao, look at him. He's a projectionist at the steel rolling mill and a reserve member of the publicity department. He's sitting in the third chair. How suitable is that?"”
Third Master Yan Bugui pointed at Xu Damao and said,""Xu Damao? Is this appropriate?"
"Hey, Third Master, why is this inappropriate?”When Xu Damao heard Third Master Yan Bugui's words, he was immediately unhappy.
The Third Master Yan Bugui was not angry at Xu Damao's interruption, but he still expressed his doubts about Xu Damao's position as the Third Master of the Siheyuan. Therefore, he continued to pretend to be hesitant and said,"Hmm?"
"Oh right, you're the second uncle now. You say, I am also considered a big shot in the rolling mill. If you want to help you deal with the big and small matters in the yard, I am better than Silly Zhu, right?”Xu Damao saw that he had the opportunity to be a leader in the courtyard house and had the opportunity to control his arch-enemy, Sha Zhu, and quickly explained.
Third Master Yan Bugui thought about it carefully. Xu Damao's words did make sense. Silly Zhu brought food back from the canteen every day, and in the end, all of it went to Qin Huiru's family. Others could forget about getting a share of the glory, but Xu Damao was much more generous than Silly Zhu.
"Alright, then…Xu Damao?”
After Third Uncle Yan Bugui finished speaking, he looked at the original Second Uncle Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong sat steadily and did not say anything. He really had some qualities of an official. The third elder Yan Bugui looked at Lin Tianjiao, but the latter didn't say anything.
"Alright, Xu Damao it is then." Third Master Yan Bugui confirmed.
"What? Why is it Xu Damao? Did he ask for my opinion?”The shout came from the main entrance. It was Silly Zhu who had just returned.
Yan Bugui was just about to speak when Liu Haizhong snorted. Third Uncle understood and picked up his cup to drink some water, swallowing the words that were about to rush out of his mouth.
"What's wrong? You guys can hold a general meeting when I'm not around.”Silly Zhu looked around and didn't see Yi Zhonghai. He quickly asked,""Where's First Uncle? Why isn't he here?"
Xu Damao shook off Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked in front of Shazhu. He said to Shazhu arrogantly,""Yi Zhonghai has stepped down. Now, the Second and Third Grandmasters of the quad have the final say. As for me…I am now a young cadre newly promoted by the two Grandmasters.”
"You, Xu Damao? You call yourself a cadre? Xu Damao, you can go somewhere cool.”Silly Zhu said unhappily.
One had to know that Silly Zhu was a muddle-headed person. Other than being muddle-headed when it came to the widow Qin Huairu, he was very shrewd at other times. Of course, Silly Zhu would not take Xu Damao seriously. He had been beaten up many times since he was young. How could he accept that he suddenly wanted to lead him one day? Of course not.
Seeing this, Xu Damao deliberately used Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to pressure Shazhu and said,""Silly Zhu, are you not acknowledging the authority of the two masters?”
"Xu Damao, stop using them to mock me. I wasn't around when you guys were having a meeting. The person I didn't like suddenly became a leader. I won't admit it!" Silly Zhu immediately pretended to be stubborn and said.
"Sigh, Silly Zhu, how can you say that?”After hearing Silly Zhu's words, Yan Bugui couldn't help but hold it in for a long time. Initially, he had urged the entire academy to hold a general meeting because he was afraid that Silly Zhu would be rude to Lin Tianjiao. If Lin Tianjiao was angered, he would be able to defeat everyone in the courtyard. Thus, he had deliberately moved Silly Zhu away from the courtyard house. But now, although the topic of the general meeting had changed, the rude Silly Zhu had still appeared.
After hearing Third Master Yan Bugui's words, Silly Zhu wasn't afraid at all. After all, he was the self-proclaimed War God of the Siheyuan. Hence, he said arrogantly,"I've been talking like this. What's wrong? Third Master, you don't like it? If you don't like it, you can cover your ears. No one will stop you.”
"This is outrageous, this is too outrageous." Third Master Yan Bugui's face turned red from the words that Silly Zhu said.
Xu Damao glanced at Lin Tianjiao. He felt that Lin Tianjiao had just nominated him to be the third master of the courtyard house, and he felt that he now had a backer. Thus, he said proudly,"Silly Zhu, don't be so arrogant. Yi Zhonghai's downfall is what everyone wants. It's useless even if you don't admit it.”
"You're talking about Lin Tianjiao, right…? Last time, I was caught off guard and was ambushed by him.”After saying that, Silly Zhu heaved a sigh of relief and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground to express his disdain.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianjiao would immediately shoot out like an arrow? His speed was so fast that before Silly Zhu could even react, a punch had already landed on his face.
sob ~
Silly Zhu was instantly sent flying sideways, smashing into the shed in front of Qian Laosi's house in the courtyard.
"Everyone saw it, it was that idiot, Silly Zhu, who didn't follow the rules first. He insulted me and violated my character. Later on, I had no choice but to beat Silly Zhu to protect my dignity and character. If I beat him into the hospital and He Yushui comes to cause trouble, you have to put in a good word for me.”Before anyone could react, Lin Tianjiao explained,
After Lin Tianjiao finished explaining to the people of the courtyard house, he turned to Silly Zhu and continued," He Yuzhu, I didn't intend to interfere in your feud with Xu Damao, but you've stood up for others and provoked me time and time again. From today onwards, I won't give He Yuzhu any face. If you provoke me again, I'll kick you to death.
Xu Damao, tonight I will help you write down the information regarding the canteen staff purchasing chicken, fish, and other ingredients without reporting it. Tomorrow, I will hand it over to the factory leader. Isn't he begging for help everywhere to save Ma Hua's job? This matter…don't even think about it."
Silly Zhu and Ma Hua were in charge of purchasing ingredients for the canteen of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. After all, they had gone out on their three-wheeled motorcycle and brought back a cart full of vegetables. Who knew if they had bought the ingredients from Xidan Market or Chaoyang Market?
It was common to run into an acquaintance selling a chicken or a fish in the canteen. It was just like a plot in the TV series " Love in the Siheyuan ". The third uncle, Yan Bugui, wanted to go fishing outside the city. If he had any harvest, he would sell it to the canteen. He even said that Silly Zhu had a favor to ask of him and would definitely not refuse.
Strictly speaking, this kind of thing was considered abusing power for personal gain in the world of " Love in the Courtyard ". It was the same as giving workers less food when they were getting food. It was not a big deal, but it was revealed at the critical moment when the food in the canteen had deteriorated and caused diarrhea. Ma Hua had threatened Sis Hua and the others with a knife and sent them to the security department. Even the factory manager could not suppress it.
Seeing this, Shazhu quickly struggled to get up from the ground and threatened,""Ma Hua has been fired. Lin Tianjiao, you can forget about returning to the workshop.”
Lin Tianjiao laughed upon hearing this, and replied in disdain,"Since you said so, I won't go back. I want to see what you have to stop me.”
