Chapter 45: Lively Sihe Academy

Sihe Academy

From noon, this courtyard became lively.

Because workers went home for lunch, the news that Cao Weiguo was appointed deputy director also spread back.

Deputy Director!

This is the first leading cadre to appear in the courtyard!

The news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a huge wave.

Cao Weiguo, who was inconspicuous before, suddenly had the feeling of standing out from the crowd.

This sudden change made everyone's heart unable to calm down.

Especially Xu Damao, who returned from the countryside, even had the illusion of a world away.

Cao Weiguo bought a bicycle!

Shazhu transferred away from the cafeteria!

Cao Weiguo became deputy director!

Clearly he had only been away for two days, how could such a big thing happen.

Three days ago, he and Cao Weiguo were still eating at the same table.

At that time, he still looked down on Cao Weiguo, the cook, because of his status as a projectionist.

But three days later, he was still a projectionist, while Cao Weiguo became a deputy director.

"This Cao Weiguo has some skills!"

Xu Damao sat at home with envy and jealousy, turned his head and said to Lou Xiaoe: "Ezi, go buy more meat tomorrow; I want to invite Cao Weiguo to dinner."

Lou Xiaoe said happily: "Done, I'll go to the vegetable market tomorrow."

Jia Zhangshi, who was sewing shoe soles at home, cursed with jealousy: "The leaders of this Rolling Steel Factory are truly blind; that black-hearted beast Cao Weiguo will starve to death on the street sooner or later."

Why did her precious son die young, while this beast Cao Weiguo is infinitely glorious.

Cao Weiguo should have been smashed to death, and her son should have become a leader.

Jia Zhangshi was crazy with jealousy, and her eyes turned red.

Holding the needle, she stabbed the shoe sole forcefully, as if she were stabbing Cao Weiguo.

The two families have no great enmity, but jealousy makes people unrecognizable.

In the evening, the residents of the courtyard returned home one after another, and the courtyard became even more lively.

Hearing the news, the Third Uncle was surprised, and then scolded his children.

"You greedy things."

"I said to keep the things, but you insisted on eating them all in one meal."

"It's good now, we don't even have materials to invite Cao Weiguo to dinner."

Yesterday he prepared to use the leftovers Cao Weiguo gave him to have a hotpot and invite Cao Weiguo to eat at home.

Who would have thought that Cao Weiguo stayed at the Rolling Steel Factory to cook, and he didn't wait for him to return home.

The Yan brothers and sisters were hungry and greedy, and the Third Uncle was also uncomfortably greedy.

And the weather is getting warmer, and things can't be kept.

Simply splurge once, the Third Uncle loosened his mouth, and the whole family ate the hotpot, including vegetables and soup, clean.

The stomach was satisfied, but the Third Uncle felt distressed afterward.

This was the "big meal" he prepared to treat guests!

Returning home after school, he heard that Cao Weiguo became deputy director.

The Third Uncle's heart hurt even more, and he complained about his greedy children.

If he had kept the hotpot to invite Cao Weiguo to dinner, how good would that be.

But the hotpot had already been eaten, and he couldn't bear to spend money to buy vegetables to treat guests.

Fortunately, the sky was getting darker and darker, but Cao Weiguo never returned.

The Third Uncle found the Second Uncle to inquire, only to know that Cao Weiguo invited all the leaders of the factory to eat a big meal at the state-run restaurant.

"Inviting so many leaders to dinner, how much money and tickets must that cost!"

The Third Uncle shivered at the thought; wouldn't a meal eat up a month's salary.

The Second Uncle felt sour in his heart: "What is this expense? Cao Weiguo's status is different now; he is a factory leader."

Although the Second Uncle is an ordinary workshop fitter, he has always had a dream of being an official.

He cares about national affairs and situation policies every day, preparing to become a leader one day.

But he has been thinking about it for half a lifetime, not as good as a greenhorn in the courtyard.

The Second Aunt in the room shouted: "Father of the children, time to eat."

The Second Uncle shouted in frustration: "Eat, eat, eat! Besides eating, it's eating! Almost ate into a pig."

Liu Guangtian smiled: "Mom, don't provoke my dad; he is already full of anger."

Liu Guangfu curled his lips: "My dad has the heart to be an official, but not the life to be an official."

The Second Aunt angrily took away the steamed buns and pickled vegetables: "You two ingrates, without your dad, you would go drink the northwest wind."

Liu Guangtian shouted: "Mom, take the steamed buns back; I paid for the meal."

The Second Aunt said: "With that little meal money of yours, it's not even enough to drink boiled water."

Liu Guangfu stomped his feet angrily: "Mom, am I your biological child? You don't even give me a bite to eat; do you want me to support you in the future?"

"Bang!"

The Second Uncle kicked the door open angrily, picked up the broom, and started hitting.

"You little beast, you dare to threaten people."

"See if I don't beat you to death!"

"With this piece of waste, do you have the ability to support us!"

The Second Uncle's house was suddenly in chaos, even more lively than the discussions in the courtyard.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Cao Weiguo, smelling of alcohol, pushed his bicycle back to the Sihe Academy.

The neighbors who hadn't slept rushed over, congratulating and flattering him.

Jia Zhangshi cursed with red eyes: "God is truly blind; this beast can also be an official."

Qin Huairu was so scared that she hurriedly dragged Jia Zhangshi into the room.

Qin Huairu complained: "Mom, Cao Weiguo didn't provoke you, why do you curse as soon as you open your mouth."

Jia Zhangshi glared: "Qin Huairu, did you take a fancy to Cao Weiguo? I just cursed him, and you are anxious."

Qin Huairu explained quickly: "Mom, Cao Weiguo is a factory leader now; it doesn't matter if you offend him, but if he does something bad and kicks me out of the Rolling Steel Factory, our whole family will starve to death."

This old woman is getting more and more mean, and her mouth doesn't give any weight, offending people everywhere.

She doesn't even look at who the other party is, cursing everyone she meets!

Does she really think she is the Empress Dowager and can be unscrupulous!

She also has a bad life; how could she marry into such a family.

If she could marry Cao Weiguo, how good would that be. ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
