"Alright, I'm leaving."

Meng Han waved his hand and walked around with his hands behind his back. He probably wouldn't be able to do anything, but even if he was asked to go, he would find a way to slack off. He didn't even go to work, so how could he expect to work for them?

Yi Zhonghai looked at Meng Han's wandering figure and wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

This person was idle at home every day. When he heard that he had gotten a lot of pork from somewhere yesterday and handed it to the Purchasing Department, the Chief of the Purchasing Department was very happy. Not only did he give him the money to buy pork, but he also made the decision to give him a white ticket from the Purchasing Department.

How enviable!

"Damao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and start a fire on the stone stove. When Uncle Ho comes back later, it's time to go into the steamer.”

Old Xu was disappointed. He wasn't smart at all and was also an outcast. Was this really his child?

"He's here!"

Xu Damao put down the coal that he had just moved over. He thought that it would be fine as long as he endured it. After all, he was his biological father.

But now, his mind was filled with the woman named Liu Lan that Meng Han had mentioned. As a man, his greatest wish was to have a wife and children, but now that he had both, he should really go and look for Meng Han. This person was wicked, so he should have a way.

Since he could separate Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, he should have a way to separate Liu Lan and that man who was in the police station.

When the time comes, I'll get him to matchmake Liu Lan and me. Wouldn't my life be perfect again? Besides, the child was only a month old and did not know how to recognize people. In the future, he could totally be raised as his biological son.

This plan was perfect, and it didn't make anyone feel strange at all. Silly Zhu was already married to a second wife, so what was wrong with him marrying a second wife?

"Damao, boil the pot. Don't add water to the pot.”

Yi Zhonghai shouted. He was surprised that Xu Damao was the only one working.

There were still many young people in the courtyard. Even if Meng Han couldn't work, there was still the second son of the Old Liu family and the few sons of the Old Yan family. Why did he see Xu Damao now?

Siheyuan, front yard!

There were too many people in the middle court, and they had already started a fire.

Meng Han still came to the front yard to take a breather and check on the pot of flowers he had left behind at Third Uncle's house.

"Hello, Brother Meng Han."

He Yushui had her hair combed into two braids. She was waiting at the front gate with Xu Damao's sister, Xu Qiuxiang, to pick up the bride.

However, behind them, Liu Tianfu, Liu Guangfu, and a few of Third Uncle's children were also waiting. They heard from He Yushui that Silly Zhu had bought a lot of candy yesterday and was preparing to give them out today.

"Hello to you guys."

Meng Han patted the girls 'heads with one hand. These two girls were in the fifth or sixth grade and had not even entered junior high school yet.

He Daqing had not run away with the White Widow yet, so He Shuiyu's usual nutrition had also caught up. Her little face was round.

"Liu Tianfu, Yan Jiefang, what are you two brats doing here instead of working in the middle court?”

Liu Tianfu, this unlucky kid, had been beaten by Liu Haizhong many times. However, this guy did not even finish junior high school and was now hanging around at home. It was not surprising that Liu Tianfu liked to beat him.

As for Yan Jiefang, he had found a job outside to make matchboxes. He could get a few yuan a month, but he had to give it to his father.

Meng Han had dragged the two kids away because he wanted to send them to the middle court to work. They were already so old, yet they still wanted to snatch candy from children. How shameless.

Besides, if you snatch the candy, what will he eat? He can't snatch it from those children, right?

Alright, it wasn't impossible. They respected the old and loved the young. Meng Han was older than them, so he could be considered old. It wasn't unreasonable to respect him.

"Meng Han, why are you in the front yard?”

Liu Haizhong was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and sitting under a big tree in the front yard. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that this was a person.

"I'm here to wait for Silly Zhu, but Second Uncle, why are you sitting here? The middle court is waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation.”

Meng Han was very curious. Logically speaking, Liu Haizhong would definitely have a hand in such a high-profile matter like arranging a banquet. Why was he hiding here now?

"I'm waiting for the people from the factory. It's their first time coming to our compound, so I have to lead the way for them. Let me tell you."

As Second Uncle spoke, he walked over to Meng Han with his large tea vat and even revealed the complete tea leaves inside.

"Uh, Second Uncle, go ahead."

Meng Han looked at the sky. It was still early. The workers in the factory would probably have to wait until dinner time to come. Liu Haizhong was waiting so early. He was really filial.

"I heard that the leaders of the rolling mill are coming today. You have to perform well. You can't let the people from the middle court suppress the limelight in our backyard.

"Moreover, I heard that Old Yi has already secretly conducted the assessment for a grade-8 locksmith behind my back. He has only been promoted to grade-7 for a few days, and he's already so arrogant. If the leaders notice him, won't I, the second uncle, become a decoration? Who in the hospital will listen to me?”

Liu Haizhong became anxious as he spoke.

Meng Han said in a low voice," There's still a leader coming today. Didn't they say that there's only one cafeteria director?"”

"That's still a leader. You can go to the workshop director and put in a good word for me.”

Liu Haizhong also lowered his voice. Meng Han was from the backyard and belonged to his lineup. It did not matter if he said his ambition to become an official.

"Yo, then you have to perform well today. I think it's still too early. The leader won't be here for a while. Why don't you go to the middle court and set up? Otherwise, when the leader comes and praises the banquet, everyone will say that it was arranged by the First Master.”

"That's right. No wonder Old Yi arranged for the table to be set up early in the morning. Bah, how despicable!"

Liu Haizhong was used to seeing Yi Zhonghai in the worst light. After all these years, he had always thought this way.

Meng Han shook his head. Silly Zhu's marriage was a matter of the central court, what did it have to do with the backyard?

It was better to stay away from this person in the future. He was crazy!

At this moment, a large group of people came back from outside.

He Daqing was at the front, followed by a group of aunties from the courtyard and his disciples from the canteen. They were all carrying big and small bags.

"Hey, Old He, you're amazing. You bought so many things and wasted a lot of tickets, right?”

Meng Han had his hands in his pockets and had no intention of helping. However, this did not stop him from looking at what he had bought.

"Silly Zhu has used up a few years of his salary.”

Silly Zhu took back all the salary he had saved for the past few years. He took out more than half of it to buy groceries for him today. Looking at so many groceries, his heart ached.

"Aren't I still a single guy? How can I do these things?

By the way, Old He, today is Silly Zhu's wedding day. Are you going to cook by yourself or something? If you don't cook, the taste of the dish will be bad.”

Meng Han was thick-skinned. He didn't care what they said. He just wanted to know if they had a good lunch today.

"Today's banquet is so good. If I don't come personally, it will be ruined.”

He Da Qing put down the bag and thought about it, he should be the one cooking. If he could prepare a good meal for Silly Zhu, he would feel proud and he would be one step closer to getting married.
