"It's time for a meeting.”
Not long after every household finished eating, someone came to pass the message that the First Master was going to hold a meeting of the whole academy.
"What is this Old Man Yi up to now?”
Liu Haizhong frowned and was a little unhappy.
Because the bottle of wine on the dining table was less than one-third finished.
The others had almost finished eating, but he had just lifted the atmosphere and recalled the time when he almost became an official.
Just as he was about to get down to business with the leader, he was interrupted.
How could he not be angry?
As for the leader he knew, it was none other than the newly appointed class monitor, Lu Heng.
Although the class monitor was only a small official, he was in charge of nearly a hundred people. In Liu Haizhong's eyes, he was a leader who needed to be fawned on.
Yes, Lu Heng was eating at Liu Haizhong's place tonight.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard house, Liu Haizhong pulled him over and said that Second Aunt had already prepared the food and was waiting for him.
Only then did Lu Heng remember that he had promised Liu Haizhong yesterday that he would go to his house for dinner.
Lu Heng couldn't refuse, so he brought the girl to his house.
Liu Haizhong had also put in a lot of effort this time. Not only did he get a braised fish, but he also killed a chicken and stewed it.
This was an extremely high treatment nowadays.
Liu Haizhong was a seventh-grade worker with a monthly salary of eighty-four and a half yuan. His financial conditions allowed him to occasionally have a luxurious meal.
If it was a family with a monthly salary of ten to twenty yuan, they might not even be willing to eat so well during the New Year.
Liu Haizhong had spent a lot of money to specially prepare such a meal. Other than celebrating Lu Heng's new appointment, he naturally had other thoughts.
He had dreamed of being an official all his life. Now, his neighbor in the yard was a middle-aged leader in the workshop.
Naturally, he wanted to take this opportunity to see if Lu Heng could help him recommend him to the director so that he could also get a small official position in charge of people.
However, he had only drunk half of the wine and had just set the atmosphere in place.
Just as he was about to talk about his life as an official, he was interrupted by the news that Yi Zhonghai was going to hold a general meeting. He was quite unhappy.
"Of course. Think about what happened in our courtyard today.”
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head. He knew that Old Man Yi had jumped out to hold a full-academy meeting at this time because of Jia Dongxu.
Liu Haizhong suddenly understood.
But what did Jia Dongxu's death have to do with him?
It was not as important as whether he could be an official or not.
"Don't worry about him," Liu Haizhong said immediately."Let's continue drinking.”
"Let's go and take a look. I want to see what he's up to.”
Lu Heng expressed his desire to take a look.
Although he could guess that Yi Zhonghai was most likely trying to raise the banner of morality to get everyone to be generous and help the Jia family.
But he still wanted to go and take a look.
The main thing was that this meal was really uncomfortable. Sitting here was simply a kind of torture.
There was no other reason. The life of Yi Zhonghai in the drama could be summarized as: If the father is not kind, the son is unfilial.
This could be seen from this meal.
He actually asked Liu Guangfu and the others to eat at separate tables.
A chicken and a braised fish were served to Liu Guangfu's table. They only had the head and tail of the fish…
The rest of the good stuff was left at his table to entertain Lu Heng.
A group of people were eating chicken feet at the side, watching you eat the drumstick. This meal was really too terrible.
When the servant girl asked curiously,""Brother, why don't they come over to eat together?”
He did not know how to answer.
On the contrary, Liu Haizhong was not ashamed and said indifferently,"If I can't earn money, it's already good enough that I have food to eat. Which cent of this family doesn't I earn back?”
Hearing this, the Liu brothers didn't dare to make a sound.
Afraid of resistance, Liu Haizhong took out his belt and showed them what a father was.
From this, it could be seen that there was a reason why the Liu brothers were unwilling to support Liu Haizhong in his old age.
When Lu Heng saw this scene, even though there was chicken and fish in front of him, he didn't have any taste at all.
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't leave directly, he would have turned around and left long ago. He didn't want to plant a bad seed in the little girl's young heart.
Now that he heard that Yi Zhonghai was going to hold a meeting, he took the opportunity to leave and pulled Wen Wen out of the house.
"Yi Zhonghai, that old bastard, ruined my plans. I'm not done with him."
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai threw his chopsticks away. He felt that the chicken was no longer fragrant. He picked up the wine glass on the table and downed it in one gulp. Then, he walked out aggressively.
Liu Guangtian and his brothers, who had already finished eating, looked at each other.
Before the second aunt could react, they rushed to the table and stuffed a piece of chicken into their mouths.
As he chewed carefully, he closed his eyes and sighed."How fragrant!"
Seeing this, Second Aunt quickly went forward to collect the bowl and said,"If your dad comes back and finds out that you're cheating, he'll beat you up.”
At this moment, the few of them grabbed another piece with their hands and said vaguely,
"I'm willing to give him a beating. Anyway, I'm often beaten by him. However, it was rare to eat chicken all year round.”
On the other side, Lu Heng was holding Wen Wen's hand as they walked out of Liu Haizhong's house.
Xu Damao's voice came from behind.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lu? Congratulations. I heard that not only did you get a raise in salary, but you also got a promotion.”
"I've been running to the countryside every day these days and came back late. I didn't even have time to congratulate you.”
Xu Damao said politely, but he was a little jealous.
Why is Lu Heng, this kid, younger than me, actually becoming the workshop monitor? It's really unreasonable.
Xu Damao used to think that he was doing quite well. As a projectionist, his salary was not high.
However, he often went to the countryside to play movies. In order to let him play a few more movies, some villages generally wouldn't let him come back empty-handed. He could always bring back a lot of food.
In the past, he had boasted that he was the best among the younger generation of the Siheyuan.
Now, Lu Heng had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He had suddenly risen to Level 7, and his salary was more than twice as high as his. He had even become a workshop monitor.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao could not help but feel sour in his heart.
"If Little Lu can be promoted, it means that he has great abilities. You should learn more.”
Lou Xiao'e grew up in a wealthy family. Now that the storm had not come, her father had taken out the rolling mill to engage in a public-private partnership and even became the director of the rolling mill. She could be said to be a proper young lady.
Therefore, she still had the attitude of a young miss. She had no scruples and said whatever she thought of.
Hey, whose daughter-in-law are you?
Xu Damao saw that Lou Xiao'e was actually flattering Lu Heng and teaching him a lesson. He was unhappy and glanced at her.
"You're welcome. I'm just lucky.”
Lu Heng responded politely and then talked about the conference.
The two of them still did not know about Jia Dongxu's matter. When they heard that he was seriously injured and hospitalized, and that his life and death were unknown, they instinctively held their breaths.
As they spoke, the few of them had already arrived at the middle court and found a corner to stand.
Lu Heng reached into his empty pocket. When he reached out again, there was already a handful of melon seeds and peanuts in his hand.
"Don't throw the melon seeds and peanut shells on the ground. Put them in your pocket and throw them away in the trash later, understand?”
Lu Heng stuffed half of it into Wen Wen's pocket.
Since they were watching a show, it would be lacking in flavor if they didn't eat some melon seeds and peanuts.
However, he did not forget to remind the girl to pay attention to hygiene. Although it was normal to throw melon seed shells everywhere these days, he did not want the girl to develop such a habit.
"Got it, brother!"
The little girl quickly covered her pocket with her hand, afraid that it would fall out.
Looking at the small pocket full of melon seeds and peanuts, her eyes curved into crescents as she nodded repeatedly.
"Younger brother, you're quite carefree."
When Xu Damao saw Lu Heng take out the melon seeds and peanuts, he thought that he would share some with him. However, after waiting for a moment, he saw that Lu Heng had already started eating without any reaction. He could only find a way out and smile awkwardly.
"Oh right, Brother Lu. I'm guessing that Grandpa Yi will definitely ask everyone to donate later. After all, he's usually so close to the Jia family.”
"When the time comes, we must not act like fools. Just give us ten or twenty cents.”
Xu Damao wasn't stupid. He could guess Yi Zhonghai's intentions. However, he didn't want to donate money, so he gave Lu Heng a heads-up.
He was mainly worried that Lu Heng would be rash and donate eight or ten yuan. If he was too stingy, he would be gossiped about.
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
