Yan Bu Gui's face flushed, he got up and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stuffing them into his pocket: "Xiao Qing, I'm leaving!"
Luo Xiao Qing didn't say anything, she watched Zhou Lin's backflip with relish.
After the Third Master left, Luo Hui Zhen smiled and took out a bag of Mickey Mouse candies from the cabinet, giving each child a handful:
"Zhou Po Po, Tie Hammer Ge, Lao Lin Ge, thank goodness you were here. Otherwise, the Third Master's temper would have made him stay at our house until dinner!
He wouldn't have given up until he convinced Xiao Qing to take his son, Yan Jie Cheng, hunting!
Zhou Po Po smiled and wiped Zhou Lin's sweat: "Xiao Qing is clever, without us, the Third Master wouldn't have gotten anything good!
It's actually us who are benefiting from Xiao Qing, thanks to her, we'll have meat for Spring Festival this year."
Lao Lin: "Yes, if it weren't for Xiao Qing, our house might have been bought by Yan Bu Gui at a low price.
Thinking about his face makes me angry, all day long he's so stingy and calculating every penny!"
After Yan Bu Gui left, the atmosphere in the room became even more harmonious, everyone was chatting and laughing.
Yan Bu Gui stormed out of the courtyard, just as he bumped into Yi Zhong Hai.
"Lao Yan, got a beating at Luo's?"
Yan Bu Gui stuffed his hands in his sleeves and didn't say a word.
Yi Zhong Hai lowered his voice: "Okay, I know you're looking for a job for your son, come have a drink at my place?
Let's talk about it."
Yan Bu Gui's eyes lit up, "Lao Yi, do you have connections?"
Yi Zhong Hai: "Come to my place and we'll talk!"
Yan Bu Gui followed Yi Zhong Hai back to his house, Yi Da Ma brought out a plate of peanuts and two plates of dumplings.
The two of them drank while eating: "I do have a position.
But it's a friend's, his family is struggling and they need five hundred yuan!"
"Lao Yi, you know our situation, my wife is pregnant, and I'm the only one earning, five mouths to feed, where can I get so much money."
"I thought about it for you, I can lend you the money, you let Jie Cheng pay me five yuan every month until it's paid off, the day before he starts work during Spring Festival, I'll take Yan Jie Cheng to the steel mill to take care of the paperwork."
"That's great, Lao Yi, I don't even know what to say, you can rest assured, I'll go back and talk to Yan Jie Cheng, make him remember the First Master's kindness."
"Lao Yan, you can't just have Yan Jie Cheng remember, you should too!"
The two looked at each other, understanding, "Lao Yi, you can rest assured, in this courtyard, I'll follow your lead."
"Good, then let's raise our glasses, work together to manage this big courtyard!"
Yan Bu Gui drank a little wine and ate a large plate of dumplings, happily returning home.
Third Ma: "Where did you go to drink like this?"
"I'm happy, Yang Rui Hua go call Yan Jie Cheng, I got him a job.
But he needs to pay five yuan a month to the family after he starts working."
"Solved? Who helped? Could it be the Luo family?"
"Humph, Luo Xiao Qing? He doesn't even have a job himself, how could he possibly get Yan Jie Cheng a job.
It was Lao Yi..."
Yan Bu Gui told Yan Jie Cheng and his family about the job, Yan Jie Cheng immediately boasted: "I'll be a steel mill worker now!
I'll be better than Luo Xiao Qing!
Humph, that Luo Xiao Qing keeps his hunting skills a secret and refuses to teach me!
When he's broke and starving, I won't help him!"
The happy time of Spring Festival is always short, in a blink of an eye, it was the first day back to work after Spring Festival.
Before dawn, Liu Hai Zhong's house was filled with the sound of firecrackers.
"Haha, everyone in the neighborhood, I have something to announce, my son, Liu Guang Qi, from today onwards.
Will be a level 24 cadre, working as a clerk, earning 23 yuan a month.
He'll be the only leader in our courtyard in the near future, everyone clap!"
"Second Master, your Guang Qi is a high school graduate, right? He's always looked promising!"
"Of course, hunting and making money is temporary, my Guang Qi, he's destined to be a leader!"
Yan Bu Gui came closer: "Everyone in the neighborhood, I'd like to announce something too.
My son, Yan Jie Cheng, is now a member of the working class of the steel mill, he has a job!"
"Oh, congrats to the Third Master!"
"I say, our courtyard still has a few masters who can get things done, you see, just like that, he got a job!"
"Yeah, the Luo family bought a 'three turns and one ring,' but Luo Xiao Qing doesn't even have a job.
When he can't hunt anymore, he'll be poor again, and he'll have to sell his belongings."
Jia Zhang Shi stood in the backyard, she took the opportunity to look towards Luo's backyard. When she saw the pieces of pork being dried in Luo's house.
Her eyes turned red: "This damned Luo family, they have so much meat at home, why won't they send some to my family?"
"Oh, it's so lively in the courtyard?"
While everyone was talking, Wang Zhu Ren walked in.
Liu Hai Zhong thought that Wang Zhu Ren had come to congratulate him on his son getting a job.
He quickly smiled: "Wang Zhu Ren, just a small position as a clerk, you don't need to bother yourself!"
"What small position as a clerk? I came for Luo Xiao Qing! Is Xiao Qing at home?"
"Wang Yi, he's here!"
"You left in a hurry when you came to my house for the New Year, not long after you left, your Uncle Feng said that your job was settled.
Your Uncle Feng said that your job is in the Nan Luo Gu Xiang police station's logistics department: level 13 police officer, 30 yuan a month.
Start work tomorrow, here's your paperwork!"
