After everyone dispersed, everyone in the Liu family began to pack up their belongings. Liu Haizhong divided the remaining things into many portions and began his visit.

Liu Haizhong brought something with him and first found Yi Zhonghai. After entering the house, he got up and closed the door.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's confused look, Liu Haizhong looked mysterious.

"Lao Yi, I came to you today to discuss something with you."

"The first one is congratulations to Auntie on her pregnancy. I really admire you, Lao Yi. You have been through all the hardships and you will be blessed in the future. The second one is that I want to hold a hospital-wide meeting tonight and I want everyone in the hospital to vote by a show of hands. Do you think it’s okay with me returning to my identity as the second uncle?”

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, "Old Liu, thank you in advance for coming to congratulate me. As for holding a hospital-wide meeting, it's okay. As long as you can get most people to agree, I have no objection to you becoming the second uncle again."

Because Yi Zhonghai has not focused on this matter for a long time, otherwise he would not leave the issue of various invoices every month to Yan Fugui.

So he is really indifferent to Liu Haizhong's desire to be the second uncle again. Even if he wants to be the first uncle, it can be discussed.

"That's good. With your words, I feel relieved. I will take care of the rest myself. I know that you are a good person, Lao Yi, and good people are rewarded!"

He got the promise he wanted, and his face was filled with joy.

After coming out of Yi Zhonghai's house, Liu Haizhong was very happy. He returned to the meeting house, took some things and a bottle of good wine, and knocked on the door of Yan Fugui's house.

Looking at Liu Haizhong coming in with something, Yan Fugui was quite enthusiastic and quickly took the thing, fearing that Liu Haizhong wouldn't give it to him.

"Old Liu, why are you so embarrassed? You see, I had a meal from your house at noon, and now you have sent so many things to our house. Old Liu, you are such a man. How can I thank you?" "

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Lao Yan, I just have something to do with you, but if you don't help me, I will take these things back with me when I leave."

Liu Haizhong knew Yan Fugui's little knack for taking advantage. He would do anything for a little thing, it all depends on how much benefit you can give.

After seeing that only Yan Fugui was in the room, Liu Haizhong looked mysterious and said, "Lao Yan, when the whole hospital meeting is held in the evening, I will initiate a vote to return to the second uncle. I hope you can help me. , let your family all vote in favor when the time comes."

Yan Fugui lowered his head and thought for a while, "Old Liu, I haven't been the second uncle for a long time. If you become the second uncle again, won't I have to become the third uncle again?"

"Lao Yan, although you have become the third uncle, you are not the same as before. You now have the enviable right to issue various bills every month. Even if I become the second uncle, I don't have this right. , I really envy you."

Looking at Yan Fugui who was indifferent, he said, "If you don't want to, then let's just forget about it. I can take the things away."

Liu Haizhong stood up and pretended to go get something.

Looking at the things Liu Haizhong planned to take away, Yan Fugui couldn't bear it, and finally made a calculation in his heart.

"Lao Liu, don't leave in a hurry. I'm thinking about this! Look at how many years we have been neighbors. I'm supposed to have to help you with this matter, but you also know that our family's situation is quite special. .”

"What do you mean?"

"You have to pay more!"

Liu Haizhong was immediately shocked by Yan Fugui's words. This Yan Fugui was really scheming, which made him feel helpless.

"Lao Yan, tell me the number. If it's too many, I'll take the things and leave. Don't be too loud."

"Five...three yuan. For just three yuan, I will help you convince our whole family to vote for you, which is exactly 5 cents per person."

With a look of pain on his face, Liu Haizhong took out three dollars and put it on the table, "Old Liu, I'll leave my affairs to you."

After coming out of Yan Fugui's house, Liu Haizhong originally planned to visit He Yuzhu's house, but he didn't expect that there was no one at their house.

Next, Liu Haizhong went to everyone's home except the Jia family, delivered some things, and received promises of help from all of them.

At night, the familiar sound of gongs resounded throughout the courtyard again, and the whole courtyard meeting was held again with Yi Zhonghai's tacit approval.

Seeing that people were almost here, Liu Haizhong took the initiative to walk to the front desk without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak.

"I called everyone here today because I want to hold a show of hands ceremony to become the second uncle again. I have deeply reflected on the past. It is indeed what I did wrong. During this time, I have been working hard to change my ways.

"

"So, I want to serve you all in the future. I have discussed it with the first and third uncles in advance, and they have no objections. So later, all our family members will go home, and you will have a show of hands to vote, and we will wait for the results to come out.

, just ask someone to tell me, no matter what, I’m wasting everyone’s time, I’m sorry.”

Liu Haizhong kept his posture very low tonight, coupled with a delicious meal at noon today and a gift from Liu Haizhong in the afternoon, the final voting result naturally did not disappoint Liu Haizhong.

More than a month later, Liu Haizhong changed again and became the second uncle, and Yan Fugui automatically returned to the position of the third uncle.

He Yuyu originally thought there was some big melon to eat, but he didn't expect it to be such a boring thing, so he returned home looking unhappy.

By the time He Yuzhu returned home, it was already past nine o'clock. He came back late today because he had been staying with Xu Xiaonan and had dinner at Xu Xiaonan's house.

When he met Xu Xiaonan, He Yuzhu gave Xu Xiaonan the wood carving he had made some time ago. She liked it very much after seeing it.

Because it was very hot outside, Xu Xiaonan was reluctant to go out, and she also felt that she had found something more fun.

Looking at the wood carving that looked like her, Xu Xiaonan suddenly had the idea to ask He Yuzhu to teach her how to carve such a wood carving of a character. She planned to carve a wood carving of two people together based on a photo of the two of them.

In desperation, He Yuzhu could only go back to the office and brought back tools and a few pieces of hard wood.

He Yuzhu taught step by step and talked word to word. Xu Xiaonan's talent was quite good. It took more than an hour for Xu Xiaonan to get started successfully.

Xu Xiaonan first started carving small animals, and slowly a cute little rabbit-like wood carving appeared in her hands.

Not to mention that Xu Xiaonan's talent is pretty good when she does what she likes.

The two spent a hot afternoon like this. After dinner in the evening, they accompanied Xu Xiaonan for a walk near her home. They didn't separate until very late, so it was a little late when he went home.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back, my sister quickly ran into the house and told him about the hospital meeting held tonight, and that Liu Haizhong had become the second uncle again.

He Yuzhu rubbed her hair, "It has nothing to do with us. We just live our lives well. Don't worry about it. Did you cook your own food tonight? Are you hungry now? Do you want me to give you an extra meal?

?”

"Okay, what I cook is definitely not as delicious as what you cook. Then let's add a meal. Can I have a bowl of beer?"

Then she looked at her brother expectantly.

He Yuzhu was still very obedient, so she didn't take advantage of He Yuzhu's absence to secretly drink the remaining beer.

"Do you like the taste of beer that much?"

He Yuzhu asked doubtfully, he didn't expect his sister to have this hobby.

"I just like the feeling of drinking beer after it has been soaked in cold water, and the rolling bubbles. A small bowl is enough, and I won't drink more."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll make two simple dishes, and I'll drink some with you."

"Then I'll get the cold water." He Yuyu ran out happily.

After a while, she brought a basin of cold water, threw a bottle of beer in, and waited patiently for her brother who was cooking.

He Yuzhu didn't make it too complicated. He simply made a cold cucumber and fried peanuts, which were both dishes to go with wine. The brother and sister shared a bottle of beer.

When leaving, He Yuyu said happily, "Brother, peanuts and beer go well together."

After Liu Guangqi went to work, he took his wedding cigarettes and candy to share with the leaders and colleagues of the machinery factory, and finally came to the factory director's office.

After Liu Guangqi knocked on the door and entered, he said with a smile: "Director Wang, I got married yesterday. The first thing I did when I came over today was to give you some wedding candies."

"Congratulations. Your marriage has broken the hearts of many single girls in our factory!"

Factory Director Wang also made a joke to Liu Guangqi, which made his face turn red and he didn't know what to say.

Looking at the shy Liu Guangqi, Director Wang then asked: "Listening to what you just said, you must have a second thing to ask me about. Tell me what it is!"

When it came to business, Liu Guangqi finally came back to his senses, "He is the factory director. In order to respond to the country's call, I am going to apply to support the construction of the northwest. When the time comes, I will take my partner with me. Do you see what the factory has to say?

?”

Looking at the stunned Factory Director Wang, Liu Guangqi said anxiously: "I know that Director Wang and all the leaders care about and expect me, but I have a dream and ask the factory director to make it come true. I'm really sorry!"

Factory Manager Wang, who came back to his senses, lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "You have a very high consciousness. This is a good idea. Do your family members also support your going?"

"I have already discussed this with my parents. I have two younger brothers, so I don't have any family burdens and can contribute to the construction of the northwest."

Liu Guangqi told a little lie.

"Well, since you are so aware, although our factory is reluctant to part with it, we will still support you. Just fill out the application form. If you hurry up, you can catch the train to the northwest this weekend."

"There will be ten people in our factory who applied to go this time. You won't be alone if you go. You can also be a companion. Work hard in the future. You are a good person. Our factory is proud of you!"

"Our factory can't let down the hearts of aspiring young people like you. When wages are paid on the 29th, we will give you a month's salary, which can be regarded as a small reward for you!"

After thanking Factory Director Wang again, Liu Guangqi left with an excited smile. Everything was as he expected, and the factory did not make it difficult for him.

When Xu Damao came back, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. When he walked to the middle courtyard, he happened to meet the aunt who came out of the room. Looking at the aunt's swollen belly, Xu Damao was stunned.

Seeing that Xu Damao stopped moving while pushing the bicycle, Aunt Ma knew what was going on with Xu Damao, "Da Mao, what are you doing?"

"Auntie, are you...are you pregnant?" Xu Damao asked stammering in shock.

"Da Mao, it's just what you think! Alas, this is because God pitied Lao Yi!"

Next, the aunt brought out the same rhetoric as last night, which made Xu Damao stunned for a while.

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle towards the backyard in despair, no longer as excited as when he first came back.

"Child, my own child..."

Xu Damao whispered to himself.

A banging sound and a scolding brought the wandering Xu Damao back to reality.

"Xu Damao, please watch the road while pushing the cart. If you hurt me, I won't let you down!"

It turned out that Xu Damao, who was pushing the cart without looking at the road, veered off the road and accidentally hit the current second aunt.
