In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and it was the end of August.
Liu Guangfu brought his daughter-in-law from the neighboring province back for a meal, then left the courtyard with a big bag.
The neighbors all knew that Liu Guangfu was getting married. They thought that there would be a banquet in the courtyard at the end of the month, but they waited for no news from Liu Haizhong.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but ask," Old Liu, why haven't I seen your boss these past few days? Isn't he getting married?" When is the banquet?"
Liu Haizhong's face turned red and he stammered,""Well, I think it's too wasteful to hold two banquets, so I'm not going to hold one. Let them hold it over there!”
Yi Zhonghai stared at him and said,"How can this be?!" Your family is marrying a daughter-in-law, not a girl. How can you not hold a banquet?”
Liu Haizhong was about to explain when Liu Guangtian walked out and said,""My eldest brother married into my sister-in-law's family, so they're not allowed to hold a banquet here!”
Yi Zhonghai was stunned. So that was what happened. No wonder the old man didn't even mention it.
Liu Haizhong's face darkened. He kicked his son and scolded,"Little brat, I'm talking to your grandpa, who are you to interrupt?”
He felt that he had lost all his face. His son had married into another province, and his position as the second uncle was gone. Now, he was so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to go to the courtyard to enjoy the shade after dinner.
Yi Zhonghai was also a little embarrassed. He said a few words and left the backyard.
The neighbors had long known that Liu Guangfu was getting married and had been waiting for the banquet. Now they knew why the Liu family did not mention this matter.
Marrying into the family was a very embarrassing thing. Moreover, Liu Haizhong was the second uncle of the hospital at that time. His status in the factory was relatively high. He was a level 6 worker. He wished he could cover his face every day.
This matter was a big deal in the courtyard house, especially during the day when all the men went to work. The remaining housewives were discussing it, making Mrs. Liu feel a little embarrassed.
"Hmph, trash! How could he be controlled by a woman?”Jia Dongxu, who was lying in the courtyard and basking in the sun, cursed disdainfully.
Jia Zhangshi also said,"That's right. Isn't my daughter-in-law still obedient now?"”
The others all curled their lips. A cripple actually called someone else trash. How ironic.
Liu Yue never gossiped with others, but she would occasionally listen when others were chatting. She felt very bored when her husband and son went to work.
Ever since Liu Haizhong's status as the second uncle was stripped away, she realized that the others were more polite to her, especially Aunt Yan.
Yan Bugui was a very shrewd person. His pet phrase was 'never poor when eating, never poor when drinking, never poor when scheming!' Seeing that Ye Chuan had the ability to get Liu Haizhong down and even address Director Wang as Aunt Wang, she secretly thought that she could not easily offend this kid.
Ye Chuan went to work as usual. In the morning, he went to the streets with Fatty Han to collect trash. In the afternoon, he found a shady place to catch a cat. The two of them slacked off together.
This week, he had collected a few electrical appliances, most of which were damaged radio sets. There was only one electric fan, and he had never even seen a large item like a television or refrigerator.
However, he was already very satisfied to receive the damaged radio. In addition, he often went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat, vegetables, and eggs. The money in his hands was decreasing at a visible speed.
"Ye-ge, you spend money too fast!”Fatty Han said as he rode the tricycle.
Ye Chuan had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things almost every other day, and he smoked at the front door. He was a little embarrassed to get a free cigarette.
"Waste collector, this way!" A voice stopped them.
Fatty Han quickly turned the tricycle around a corner. Ye Chuan jumped off the tricycle and smiled when he saw the person who called out to them. It was someone he knew.
That person was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,"Yo, it's Little Ye!"
"Third Uncle, school hasn't started yet, right?”
That person was Yan Bugui." Isn't school starting soon? We teachers have already started work. We came to the school to clean up the office and classroom.”
"Third Uncle, do you have anything to sell?”
"I've packed up some waste paper and books. There should be some in the other offices as well.”Yan Bugui said.
Ye Chuan smiled and nodded. Then, he weighed the pile of waste paper and books by Yan Bugui's feet and loaded them into the tricycle.
Yan Bugui was right. Many of the offices were filled with trash, almost all of which were the students 'homework, paper, and books from the previous semester. After a few offices, the back of the tricycle was almost full.
"Little Ye, you've gained a lot?" Yan Bugui came over and said with a smile.
Ye Chuan took out the big front door in his pocket and gave the other party a cigarette, then lit one for himself.
"Yo, big front door, not bad!" Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, and he happily held it in his mouth.
Ye Chuan took out another one and handed it to Yan Bugui. He smiled and said,"Third Uncle, you go ahead. I'll go to the other offices to take a look.”
He would also treat those who greeted him with a smile well, especially since Yan Bugui had helped him a lot today. People like Liu Haizhong could only be served with sticks.
The teaching building of Red Star Elementary School was a row of red brick houses. The field was not big and was filled with mud. At the front was a wooden flagpole.
When he walked to the innermost office, Ye Chuan heard two female voices discussing poetry.
