The young people's Jianghu was about fighting and killing. The old Jianghu knew that the real Jianghu was about the ways of the world. Old Huang was a very particular person. If he said that he didn't want the salary, he wouldn't. After coming to Cao Zhe's place to measure, he brought his two disciples and quoted Cao Zhe a low price of 120 yuan for the materials. Afraid that Cao Zhe wouldn't understand, he even wrote down the prices of the materials and the labor. Not only did Old Huang not ask for any salary, but he also only charged 10 cents per person for the meals for the past three days. He was responsible for two meals a day.
Cao Zhe looked at them. How could this work? He changed the price of 10 cents per meal to 50 cents, and the price of two meals a day to three meals. Overall, it didn't cost much, but it made Old Yellow and his two disciples feel comfortable. The worker felt comfortable, and the work he did was naturally different. That afternoon, Old Huang and his disciples pushed a cart with tools and materials to start work.
……
The courtyard house was not very lively. Seeing that Cao Zhe's family was about to make a big move, the first person to come was the second uncle. The second uncle stuck out his belly and walked in a square step." Section Chief Cao, what are you doing? Did you ask the three elders in our courtyard to modify the house without permission? You're disrespecting your elders, lawless, making something out of nothing, nothing…In short, stop work immediately and hold a full-court meeting tonight!”
"Hmm?" Cao Zhe was dumbfounded. What was going on? When did he offend Second Uncle? Thinking about it carefully, there was no such thing, right? Ever since he moved into this courtyard, the two of them had minded their own business. At the thought of this, Cao Zhe took out the certificate that Director Huang had given him from his pocket." I've already asked the director of the street office for permission. The house is old and dilapidated, so it needs to be renovated." Second Uncle, if you have any objections, you can go to the director of the street office to complain.”
The second uncle took the certificate and looked at it in disbelief. He did not recognize all the words on it, but when he saw the red official seal, the second uncle became even angrier." Cao Zhe, you live in my backyard. If you have something to ask, you don't have to ask me for permission. You go straight to the street office! I, I will definitely hold a meeting to criticize you today! Just you wait!" After saying that, Second Uncle turned around and left.
"Section Chief Cao, what's going on? Who is this person?" Old Huang didn't understand what was going on with Second Uncle.
"I'm not too sure either. This is the second uncle of the courtyard. I don't have much of a relationship with his family. Anyway, you have the certificate from the street office. You can do it without worry.”
"Section Chief Cao. You don't understand, right?" Xu Damao stood at the door of his house and leaned against the doorpost." You're doing well in the factory, but in this courtyard, you're still under the control of a few old men." You live in the backyard. These days, you've invited Third Uncle and First Uncle to eat. Only Second Uncle is fine with you. Tell me, did you offend Second Uncle?”
"Heh, so that's what happened! Brother Da Mao, I've learned my lesson." Cao Zhe nodded.
Xu Damao smiled evilly." Section Chief Cao, I don't want to criticize you, but you're too friendly in the courtyard. Look at the factory. You beat up those grandsons who didn't submit to you like grandsons in the general competition. Isn't that impressive? Who would dare to not submit to you? Who was Liu Haizhong? Just because you live in this courtyard and he's the second uncle, he wants to bully you? If you were to change your residence, they wouldn't dare to make things difficult for a section chief like you.”
"So, if I want to solve this problem, it's best to move out of this courtyard?”Cao Zhe knew what kind of person Xu Damao was, so he probed with some doubts.
"How can that be? He, Liu Haizhong, was at most a seventh-grade worker. How could a Section Chief like you be afraid of him? I mean, you can't be so friendly in the courtyard. You have to teach him a lesson!”Xu Damao's face was full of disappointment." No matter what, I brought you back to the courtyard. Would your Brother Damao let you be bullied by Liu Haizhong? If there really is a full assembly tonight, look at your Brother Da Mao!”
"Alright, thank you, Brother Damao. I'll go take a look at the rainwater."
……
At night, Cao Zhe cooked another chicken and Yu Shui cooked it herself. In the backyard, there were enough steamed buns, chicken soup, and chicken heads. Old Huang's two little disciples had worked for so many years, but they had never seen their master prepare such good food. Their stomachs were so round that they almost swallowed their tongues. Old Huang saw this and felt that he had gained a lot of face. He looked at Cao Zhe with even more satisfaction. Not to mention anything else, she would definitely do her work to perfection!
When it was completely dark, the workers left. After everyone in the courtyard finished their meal, they heard that there would be a meeting to criticize Cao Zhe in the evening. They immediately waited through the window.
After a while, the sound of a gong rang out in the middle of the courtyard." Everyone, come out. It's time for a full-court meeting."”It was Liu Haizhong's voice.
Cao Zhe's expression darkened. He wanted to get rid of the birds in the courtyard as soon as possible and start to focus on scientific research and his career. It seemed that he could not just appease them. Some people had to be severely suppressed.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that Silly Zhu was still moving the tables. The three old men had also just arrived at the courtyard with their own stools. However, what was rare was that Jia Zhangshi had already moved the stools to sit at the front. Good heavens, you're early.
"Today, the entire academy will convene a meeting. We just want to criticize someone. We'll discuss the problem with him!" The second uncle stood up." Cao Zhe, you've become disrespectful and lawless not long after you came to our courtyard. Just because you've made some small achievements in the factory, you don't put the elders in the courtyard in your eyes." Today, he even went past the old man in our courtyard and went straight to the director of the street office to get a certificate to repair his house! How come we don't know? Did you ask for our permission to build the house? Let's discuss how Cao Zhe should be punished for his actions. Next, please speak."
First Uncle rolled his eyes at Liu Haizhong and thought, What else do you want me to say?”However, in front of the entire academy, First Uncle still had to pay attention to his image. And who was he criticizing tonight? That was his son, Cao Zhe, whom he had sent to the afterlife! Hence, the first uncle coughed lightly." Cough cough, this matter is too much. Old Liu, why didn't you tell us the reason why you wanted to hold a full-court meeting?" Cao Zhe's house had been in disrepair for a long time, and there was a crack in the corner. It was fine in spring, but it would definitely leak in summer and winter. Did he tell me that he wanted to repair the house, or did I tell him that he needed to go through the procedures at the street office?”
"This!" Liu Haizhong did not expect Yi Zhonghai to ruin his reputation at this time. He was instantly speechless.
At this moment, Third Uncle also said," Actually, I know about this. A few days ago, when Little Cao came to my house for dinner, he mentioned it to me, and I agreed. Xiao Cao was a very polite child. She even asked if I should ask Second Uncle for instructions. I said, of course I want it. In the end, the second uncle was busy with something these days. He was elusive. He couldn't find her at all. You can't blame Little Cao for this."
"What? You all know?" Liu Haizhong was stunned and felt humiliated.
Why did Third Master help Cao Zhe so much? Was it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality? No, neither. It was because Cao Zhe was in a meeting below and was distributing melon seeds to the crowd. Cao Zhe somehow managed to get a small packet of melon seeds. He grabbed a handful and handed the bag to Third Aunt, who was beside him. He waved his hand to the side, indicating that Third Aunt would help him distribute some to the side.
Who was beside Third Aunt? That was Third Master's family. Looking at the bag of melon seeds, Third Uncle felt his mouth itch. How could he not speak up for Cao Zhe?
