Luo Xiao Qing pondered: "Alright, anyway, with He Yu Zhu's temperament, he might not be able to feed Yu Shui every meal.
For the next few days, let Yu Shui eat with us!"
Luo Hui Zhen: "That's fine, I'll start cleaning the house when the construction team arrives."
"Xiao Qing Gege!"
Luo Xiao Qing looked up and saw three grandsons of Zhou Po Po standing in the courtyard, the eldest ten years old, the youngest six.
From eldest to youngest, their names were: Zhou Mu, Zhou Lin, Zhou Sen.
Zhou Po Po's son was originally a worker at the Rolling Mill, but he died due to a work accident.
Zhou Po Po's daughter-in-law couldn't handle the blow and passed away on the spot, leaving Zhou Po Po, an old woman, to care for her three grandsons.
Their lives became increasingly difficult.
If it weren't for Luo Xiao Qing's help in getting her a donation of over ten yuan yesterday, Zhou Po Po's family might not have been able to survive this winter.
Zhou Mu stood at the door with his younger brothers: "Xiao Qing Gege, Grandma heard that your family is going to renovate the house.
She said that if there's no space at home, we can go to our house. We'll stay there for the next three days and help with the work!"
Lin Shui Tao, from the Lin family: "Xiao Qing Gege, you should come to my house instead."
Wang Tie Hammer: "Come to my house! I've already cleaned up my room!"
Luo Xiao Qing: "Thank you all for your kindness, but my mom can just squeeze into Yu Shui's room."
Tie Hammer: "Alright, Xiao Qing, if you need any help with the construction, just call on me.
I've done this kind of work before, and I still have the strength!"
Old Lin: "I can help too."
"Old Lin, Tie Hammer, I do have something I need your help with.
I'm going hunting in the mountains during the construction. I can't leave the house without a man here.
I thought I could ask you to take care of the construction team while I'm gone.
Just tell Shui Tao and my mom if you need anything."
"Alright!"
Old Lin and Wang Tie Hammer were grateful to Luo Xiao Qing and wanted to repay him. Now that they had the chance, they were more eager than themselves.
While Luo Xiao Qing was arranging for the construction of his house, Yi Zhong Hai and Liu Hai Zhong walked over:
Liu Hai Zhong spoke in an official tone: "Xiao Qing, I heard you're going to renovate your house?
You live in this courtyard. If you're going to renovate, you have to discuss it with the three elders in the courtyard, don't you?
Who gave you permission to do this privately? Do you know what crime you're committing? You're breaking away from the collective!
Your behavior is very bad!"
Luo Xiao Qing rolled his eyes: "Second Uncle, you're a level seven worker, and you have a decent car. You're a worker, why are you so embarrassing?
You have to put on a leadership face and make a fool of yourself. Don't even dream about being a leader.
I got permission from Director Wang to renovate the house. If you want to accuse me, are you saying you're bigger than Director Wang?
If you have time to worry about my house, why don't you go back and take care of your three sons!"
"You, Luo Xiao Qing, don't be stubborn with me! You're not putting me, the Second Uncle, in your eyes! I... I won't let this go!"
Liu Hai Zhong retreated, turning around and leaving dejectedly.
Yi Zhong Hai: "Luo Xiao Qing, regardless of what you think, you're part of this courtyard.
Stop being stubborn with me! You want to renovate your house, you have to get the permission of the three elders in the courtyard!"
"Xiao Qing, I've borrowed the jeep for you. Oh, Old Yi, you're both here!
Are you going to help Xiao Qing clean up his house?"
Director Wang was very happy. She valued Luo Xiao Qing, so she naturally hoped that his neighbors would treat him well.
Yi Zhong Hai realized things were not going his way and was about to speak.
Luo Xiao Qing spoke first: "Director Wang, didn't my mom just go to you about renovating the house?
Now the First Uncle says that it's not enough to have your permission, it also needs his permission.
Otherwise, I'm being stubborn and breaking away from the collective!"
Director Wang's smile froze: "Old Yi, I trusted you so much and hoped you would cooperate with me.
Do your best to unify the masses in the courtyard, and this is how you unify them?"
Yi Zhong Hai hadn't expected Director Wang to return, "Director Wang, I was just coming to inquire about the situation.
I was planning to buy this storage room to show respect to the old lady, but Xiao Qing beat me to it."
Director Wang: "Old Yi, that's not right! How many times did I ask you about this storage room since the beginning of the year?
You kept saying to wait, wait, and you kept putting me off!
Now I finally managed to sell it and clean it up, it's for the sake of sanitation in the courtyard. Now you're blaming me, that's not very nice."
"Yes, yes, Director Wang, I, the First Uncle, haven't done a good job with this matter. I apologize to Luo Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation. Renovating your house is a good thing. If you need anything, just tell me, I'll definitely help."
Luo Xiao Qing: "Alright, just so you know, First Uncle, I'm going hunting for the next few days. I'm counting on you to take care of my family.
If my mom or Duo Duo and Guo Guo are bullied during these days, I won't let you off easy."
Yi Zhong Hai was put on the spot by Luo Xiao Qing's words: "Alright, don't worry, I'll take good care of them!"
"Xiao Qing, come quickly, your Uncle Feng has driven the jeep over for you.
But he's not at ease, so he has to watch you drive it himself!"
Director Wang pulled Luo Xiao Qing out of the courtyard in a hurry.
Yi Zhong Hai was dumbfounded. How did Luo Xiao Qing borrow a jeep?
You know, jeeps are government vehicles, and only high-ranking officials can use them.
Ordinary people would be proud if they could even touch one.
But now, Director Wang was helping him borrow a jeep and even sent it to his doorstep.
What exactly did he do outside?
