Siheyuan: The Final Winner

The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are roaring.

The air is filled with the smell of burning gunpowder, full of New Year flavor.

Director Yang led a group of cadres to condolences to advanced workers.

This is an annual practice, nothing special about it.

When I came, I naturally brought condolences and condolence money.

The number is not large, and the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy.

But for Jiang Ping'an, it's also a big show, and it's very face-saving!

"Comrade Jingru is the childhood sweetheart you keep talking about?" Director Yang asked with a smile.

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "Hey, that's her!"

"Hello, Director Yang! Ping An often talks about you, saying that you are kind to him!" Qin Jingru smiled sweetly.

Factory Manager Yang waved his hands and smiled, "No matter where, his current achievements are all due to his own hard work!"

"Director, you also know that my parents are gone, and I don't have any other elders." Jiang Pingan answered.

"When the time comes when Jingru and I get married, we must ask you to witness the marriage!"

Factory Manager Yang laughed out loud, and replied:

"Okay, okay, I'm sure to be on call for such a good thing, and I'll be happy with it."

Then, he patted Jiang Ping'an's shoulder again, and said with relief:

"To be honest, seeing that you have hope for a lifetime, my hanging heart will fall to the ground!"

"Hehe, it's my fault for worrying the factory manager." Jiang Ping'an apologized.

A group of cadres were brought into the house and sat down to drink tea. The courtyard was full of people, all of whom were very envious.

In the past one or two years, Jiang Ping'an's life in the courtyard has become more and more prosperous, and no one can keep up.

To everyone, Jiang Ping'an is a role model for a successful career.

Even his achievements are beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime.

The deputy director of the rolling mill, who has been sent out to other places, has two national honors, so he will definitely not be downgraded.

How to put it, he can also be qualified as the deputy head of a county, and the ranking will be high.

Even if it is done properly, it is very possible to become a county magistrate, after all, the honorary title is too high in gold.

Among the crowd of onlookers, Xu Damao's eyes turned red with envy, let alone Liu Haizhong, who dreamed of becoming an official.

On the first day of the new year, so many factory leaders came to condolences, even just once, can make people brag for a lifetime.

"Is the second uncle envious? It's only fun to be an official to Jiang Ping'an's level!" Xu Damao said.

Liu Haizhong came back to his senses, gave him a sideways glance, nodded silently, and sighed:

"Indeed, I don't want to be a director, even if I am a team leader in the workshop, I can't sleep for joy."

After a pause, he smiled again and said, "But now that I'm the squad leader of the joint defense team, I can barely be considered a leader."

"Cut, what kind of broken leader is that?" Xu Damao cut his voice and said disapprovingly.

"I don't even have a salary, and there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals under my command, what's the point?"

Liu Haizhong said unhappily: "You have the ability, why don't you even have the right to manage a few soldiers and crab generals?"

"Second uncle, what do you have to say to Xu Damao?" He Yuzhu leaned over and said.

"This kid is just jealous of you. He doesn't want to see you well. In fact, he wants to be an official and is crazy."

Xu Damao wanted to argue with He Yuzhu again, Liu Haizhong hurriedly said:

"Shut up, don't look at what occasion this is?"

"Is it necessary to make a joke in front of the factory leaders, so that you are satisfied?"

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao also knew that they really shouldn't make trouble today.

It's really going to cause a fire, and Jiang Ping'an will lose face in front of the factory leaders. This kid is not easy to mess with.

Factory Manager Yang and the others didn't sit for long, and they got up in about ten minutes to leave.

After all, they didn't just condolences to Jiang Ping'an's family, they had many places to go.

Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru sent the leaders outside the courtyard.

Before leaving, Deputy Director Li pulled Jiang Pingan aside and reminded him in a low voice:

"The cadres are on duty at night, and you are assigned to a group with me."

"Remember to come here earlier, I made some appetizers, after we inspect, find a place to have a few drinks."

According to the usual practice, during the Chinese New Year and holidays, cadres at the level of deputy director and above must be on duty.

The duty roster had been publicized years ago, and Jiang Ping'an was in Li's group in the middle of the night this evening.

Jiang Pingan heard the words, hesitantly said: "Director, I will definitely not refuse this drink."

"It's just drinking during the shift. If the superiors know about it, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Deputy Factory Manager Li smiled and said, "If the sky is falling and I, a tall man, are holding it up, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't worry, it's been like this all these years. If someone lets you know, there won't be any problems."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Ping'an also knew that no matter what, he would be in the same boat.

If he didn't even dare to drink together, deputy director Li would definitely have some objections, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

After seeing off the leaders, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru returned home, and heard her ask:

"It was Deputy Director Li who whispered to you just now, right? What did he tell you?"

"Well, don't ask too much about work." Jiang Pingan sat down and took a sip of tea.

Qin Jingru took the plate, cleaned up the teacups at home, and said with a smile, "Well, I shouldn't ask."

While talking, Qin Huairu stepped into the door and said with a smile: "Jingru is busy, do you want me to help?"

"No, I'll just put away the teacup." Qin Jingru shook her head and said.

"The melon seeds and peanut shells on the ground will be cleaned up tomorrow."

Jiang Pingan pointed to the melon seeds on the plate, and said with a smile, "Grab melon seeds and eat them yourself!"

"Thanks, my mouth has been a little angry these two days and I need to avoid it." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Then pour tea yourself, this tea is for reducing fire, and it's very fragrant."

"Hehe, I don't know if it can reduce the fire, but the tea fragrance is real, and I can smell it from afar."

Qin Huairu giggled, and seeing that Qin Jingru didn't say anything, she poured herself a cup of tea and sat down to drink it.

Jiang Pingan took a cigarette and lit it, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you take care of the children at home, is there anything you can do here?"

"It's okay, Huaihua is asleep right now, I'll come over to chat with Jingru when I have time," Qin Huairu said.

Having said that, she looked at Jiang Ping'an with affection, secretly sending glances and affection.

After Qin Jingru put all the used teacups on the plate, she turned her head and said with a smile:

"Cousin, just now I saw the stick twirling around the door a few times, I guess it's because I want to eat melon seeds."

"You grab some, put them in your pocket, and bring them to him, children, that's all that matters."

In fact, not only children are curious, adults are also curious.

These days, the amount of melon seeds and peanuts per household is only a few taels, which is really just a taste.

Qin Huairu heard the words, looked sideways at Jiang Ping'an, saw him nodding silently, so she smiled and said:

"Yes, then thank you Jingru, no wonder BangGong is always close to you and Ping An, saying hello to you."

Qin Jingru said with a smile: "Bang Geng looks smart and sensible at first glance, and he will definitely be promising when he grows up."

This is what she learned from Jiang Ping'an, no matter if she is good or bad, she will be praised.

That kid has a quick wit, and he will definitely be lawless in the future!
