Chapter 34: Win-win thinking
The Spring Festival Gala was shown on the old black and white TV, which caused bursts of laughter in the room from time to time.
After closing the door, the family sat around the stove, eating melon seeds and peeling peanuts, enjoying themselves happily.
Lu Yushan looked at Guan Haiyang quietly.
Guan Haiyang has completely recovered from the sadness he suffered two months ago, and there is no trace of sadness on his face.
During this period of time, he has fully arranged everyone's life. Although he feels a little tired physically, he is mentally full as never before.
Even Zhao Dabao's worries about forced marriage were pushed into the corner by this sense of fulfillment.
Guan Haiyang seems to have a magical power that makes people feel at ease and full of hope.
He said that if Zhao Dabao's matter could be solved, then there shouldn't be much of a problem!
Lu Yushan did not tell Grandma Du that the biggest impact on her from this trip to Yangcheng was not how wonderful the outside world was, but the impact of Guan Haiyang's free and confident way of doing things.
It seems that all problems become easier in front of him!
There were so many ferocious guys, but he was really not afraid at all.
How did this boy who was so helpless just a few months ago turn into such a reliable guy?
But...all these are good changes.
In the same building, Tong Bing's house on the east end has another scene.
The second aunt Lu Yuling will spend the New Year at her husband's house. Tong Bing's parents died young and he has no brothers and no need to return to his old home.
So every new year, Guan Haiyang and his family would celebrate the New Year with Tong Bing, Lu Yuhang and grandma Li Guilan.
In previous years, Guan Nanshan and his wife took Lu Yushan to take care of the housework, while Tong Bing and his wife only helped out.
As for Lu Yuhang, he is the boss and does nothing.
There was no other way. Whenever he was asked to do some work, Li Guifen would jump out and stop him.
Her eldest son is a college student, so how can he do such mundane tasks?
Tong Bing's son Tong Wenbin loves the excitement the most, and he is happiest at this time of year.
But this year...
Tong Bing's legs were wrapped in thick gauze, Lu Yuting sat in front of the TV with a sad face, and Lu Yuhang watched the TV thoughtfully.
Li Guilan also felt that this year's New Year's Eve was almost meaningless, and she mumbled not knowing what she was talking about.
Tong Wenbin felt so bored. In the afternoon, he saw his cousin Guan Haiyang and his aunt killing fish outside!
Hot steam came out of their kitchen, and he seemed to smell the smell of steaming sausages from a distance.
This smell was also present at home during Chinese New Year!
"I want to eat sausage!"
Tong Wenbin looked at his mother and said loudly.
"Xiao Bin, be good. Mom forgot to prepare sausages this year. How about some chocolate?"
Lu Yuting had no choice.
It's not that she forgot, it's that she was too lazy to do it.
Sausages are so troublesome. When you buy pig intestines that are smelly and dirty, you have to use a spoon to scrape off the dirt bit by bit until they are scraped into thin casings.
Then tie the casing with an iron hoop and pour the prepared meat filling bit by bit.
In the middle, you have to use a needle to constantly poke holes in the casings to deflate them. If you accidentally break the intestines and the stuffing comes out, you have to start all over again.
In previous years, she wouldn't have done anything like this.
Looking at the cheeseline chocolate wrapped in red paper on the table, Tong Wenbin pouted: "I just want to eat something salty."
Tong Bing was already in a bad mood. Hearing his son's noise, he suddenly became angry and shouted at Tong Wenbin: "It's not enough to have chocolate! How many children want to eat it but can't. If you like it, eat it, if you don't want it, go away."
Let’s play outside!”
Seeing him yelling at her son, Lu Yuting immediately became unhappy and slapped the bowl on the table: "If you have the ability, go find Du Xiazi and fight back. Get angry at Xiaobin. It's obvious in the nest that you are here! This big guy
During the Chinese New Year, who do you want him to go out to play with? He will be out of his mind all day long."
Looking at his fierce-looking wife with a high will to fight, Tong Bing said coldly: "You know what the hell, you have long hair and short knowledge. If you can't beat him, you still have to go up and get beaten! Why do you think Blind Du has lost his job?"
"
Lu Yuting was not stupid. She knew that there was something behind Tong Bing's words, so she was stunned and said: "Didn't you say that when we did the inventory count at the end of the year, we found that there was a shortage of goods in the warehouse?"
Li Guilan originally thought watching TV was boring, but when she heard the topic she was interested in, her ears perked up.
Many people in the factory knew that Blind Du lost his job.
But why is there something suddenly missing from the warehouse that has been specially guarded and has never had any problems?
Deputy factory director Hao Jianguo became angry over this matter and said he must find out where the problem lies.
Security captain Du Xiazi is the first person responsible. He will be suspended without pay until the matter is clarified.
When you find the goods, when will you come back to work!
The attack happened so suddenly that many people didn't understand what was happening.
"Is there anything missing in the warehouse? Over the years, Hao Jianguo has guarded his territory even more tightly than a prison cell. It was only after Zhao Dabao greeted him that there was something missing in the warehouse."
Tong Bing glanced at Lu Yuting and said slowly: "I only know that there is no point in fighting and fighting hard. You have to rely on your brain to do things."
Lu Yushan also recalled that this was the source of emotional Du Blind's job loss.
She also forgot that she was having a hard time with Tong Bing and staring at each other just now. She rolled her eyes and asked: "Blind Du has lost his job, and his family still has two oil bottles. How can they survive this year?"
How can we be so peaceful?"
Tong Bing curled his lips: "There are only three or two nails in the broken ship. It has only been a few days, and the family's surplus food can still support them through the New Year. Let's wait and see how they make a living after the New Year!"
Lu Yuting also felt that among the four members of the family, the old one, the young one, and Du Xiazi alone, it would be strange not to drag him to death.
Another question came to her mind: "That little brat said he wants to come to ask for pensions. Have you told Hao Jianguo about this?"
The old lady Li Guilan who was listening was frightened and said quickly: "We can't give them any more money! We don't even have enough for our family!"
That day, Guan Haiyang and Du Xia suddenly broke into the house and injured Tong Bing. Lu Yuting pulled out a thousand yuan from her hand, which almost killed her.
When Tong Bing mentioned this matter, his head was full of anger, and he said viciously: "You are afraid that he is making trouble against Xiao Bin! If you let them taste the sweetness, they might come back to make trouble next time!"
Lu Yuting slapped Tong Bing on the arm: "You heartless person, if it weren't for you, do you think I would give up the money? Looking at the momentum that day, if you don't give them money, you will really lose both your legs!"
But what you said is true, we can’t let them continue to blackmail like this!”
Tong Bing waved his hand: "They probably won't force themselves here, otherwise they won't leave easily that day.
Let's wait for news from Zhao Dabao about this matter first. His old man wants to go up, so he shouldn't make too much noise during this period.
When he gets married and our work is adjusted, we will naturally have time to take care of that little brat Guan Haiyang?"
Lu Yuting thought Tong Bing was right at first, but suddenly she felt uneasy: "You said, he and Xiaoshan are really together, and the young couple will not turn around to deal with us if they are sleeping in the wind!"
Tong Bing rolled his eyes at her.
"You just thought of this now! I'm afraid of a ball. If this thing comes true, she won't have to thank us!
Even if Xiaoshan holds a grudge, we have finally made her live a good life!
Let's lower our posture a little and smile more, and the big problem will be reduced to a minor issue.
After all, we are also Zhao Dabao's matchmakers, and he won't just listen to Xiaoshan.
If this is really the case, how can the brothers under him still mess around with him!"
Although Tong Bing is big, he is not stupid either.
Before this trick was carried out, he had thought through the aftermath.
In the end, everyone benefited from this matter.
Lu Yushan now has little experience. She doesn’t know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are when she’s not a family member.
After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, if you compare with others and take a closer look, you will understand that his deliberate efforts are not just to benefit you.
After you have lived a good life for a while, your mind will be broader and you will not have so much time to worry about the bad things before getting married.
Tong Bing felt that he had thought carefully enough and got a good deal from both sides.
