Chapter 95 Pushed
All in all, I can earn some meat and red envelopes, and I may come to pay my respects during festivals in the future."

"Well, help me push it off. I won't take this job!"

When Li Zhiguo heard this, he felt that the benefits were too few and the risks were too great. He was mainly worried that the other party had a problem with his background, and wouldn't he be implicated if he recognized him as his godfather?

What he wanted was a simple relationship, waiting for the steel mills and the streets to keep adding to the price, which was the best protection.

"Ah! You don't even want to take up such a good offer?"

Yan Bugui was confused. This was very unlike Li Zhiguo.

"It's too much trouble. I have enough to eat and drink! Third uncle, remember to help me push it. I'm going to go back and rest."

Li Zhiguo didn't say much and took his wife to the backyard.

When he lay down on the chair, he shouted, "Jingru, turn on the radio."

"Brother, Jing Ru is staying over there to warm the bed. I'll open it for you."

Qin Huairu came over and turned on the radio, then found a bench and placed it next to the recliner, then put the teacup on top, and only then did she feel at ease to use the sewing machine.

"Hey, I can't leave that girl anymore."

Li Zhiguo has trained Xiao Jingru into an intelligent assistant, which is a major trend in future smart life.

"Our news: We should make good preparations for the autumn harvest to ensure that wheat…"

He was listening and almost falling asleep when he suddenly heard footsteps.

"Li Zhiguo, you are finally back. Can you help me talk about Dongxu? He goes fishing every day and leaves all the housework to me. I need to eat even when he is not at home."

Mrs. Jia Zhang came to complain that her son had been fishing every day for half a month, but he had only caught two fish, and the total weight was less than one pound, with little meat and a waste of oil.

“You have to go find Uncle Three about this matter. It was he who led Dongxu astray.

No, Dongxu goes fishing every day, what does he eat for lunch? "

Li Zhiguo was curious that Jia Dongxu had actually found a hobby in life.

"I don't know. He went out after breakfast and said he wasn't hungry when he came back in the evening. I didn't give him any money.

It's bad, do you think Bihua secretly gave him money?"

Jia Zhang became worried, fearing that her daughter-in-law would not be able to resist her son's request.

Li Zhiguo was stunned for a moment and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, do you still remember the last time Dongxu stole our chicken?

Do you still have the money you saved for retirement? Maybe Dongxu used it to eat out every day. You can have a bowl of noodles for eight cents, and you can buy white noodles on the street for five cents. "

"Oh no! This can't be possible. I'm hiding my retirement savings..."

Jia Zhang quickly shut up and couldn't tell the exact place.

"You should go back and take a look. I still miss your little money. You can't doubt my character!"

Li Zhiguo was unhappy. He had never stolen in his life because it was easier to just rob!

……

"Oh my, my ten dollars of pension money is all gone, wuwu..."

Jia Zhang was crying loudly at the door. The only person who could make the decision in the courtyard at this moment was Li Zhiguo, but she was so angry that she collapsed to the ground as soon as she walked out of the house and couldn't stand up.

"Go and call the Third Master, he's back. No, call Li Zhiguo instead."

An old lady was shouting. Although we didn’t know the situation yet, it was definitely something big that had happened.

"I'll go call Li Zhiguo..."

Sun Erniang ran to the backyard. She had just heard clearly that Jia Zhang's money was lost. This was a good thing and she was happy.

"What? The pension money really went missing!"

Li Zhiguo was just making a random guess, but he didn't expect it to come true. Brother Dongxu is great!

But this is good, it lets Jia Zhang have a taste of what it feels like to steal from one's own home. Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot.

But this matter must be stopped, otherwise Jia Dongxu will get used to stealing and steal things from other people's homes. That would be fun and everyone would be in danger.

When he arrived at the central courtyard, he saw that Jia Zhang had been surrounded by a crowd, and Yan Bugui had also arrived.

"Li Zhiguo, I have preliminarily concluded that it was Jia Dongxu who stole it. Starting from one month, Jia Zhang received two yuan a month for her retirement. Not counting this month, she saved a total of ten yuan, and it was all lost.

Jia Dongxu went fishing in the morning and would not be back until the evening, so he would have to eat out at noon."

Yan Bugui has already solved the case. It is obvious and there is no mistake.

Jia Zhang cried out, "Li Zhiguo, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Ahem, the Third Master is here, I'll just take a look."

Li Zhiguo thought to himself, what a shitty boss he is. He didn't know when Jia Zhang started to think he was a good guy. No, he was a good guy.

Yan Bugui immediately said, "Wait for Jia Dongxu to come back tonight to hold a meeting of the entire hospital. I will go and keep an eye on him and find out what he had for lunch."

Li Zhiguo thought, the Third Uncle is really good, he has even learned the Infernal Affairs and is now an undercover agent in the courtyard.

Then Yan Bugui ran away with the fishing rod.

The third aunt also said: "Li Zhiguo, please persuade your third uncle tonight. He is obsessed with fishing. He wants to go fishing whenever he has time. No matter how much you persuade him, he won't stop."

"Uh, okay!"

He was a little confused. His original intention was to lead the entire hospital to prosperity, but it seemed that he led people astray.

When I came to my senses, I saw that Jia Zhang was still crying. I had to take a closer look. Didn't I see that the aunties had not dispersed? Even the auntie was supporting the deaf old lady to watch the fun.

When one person fell down crying, the whole courtyard started to cry and started to watch, and then they entered the courtyard!
The more Jia Zhang cried, the more aggrieved she felt. She kept listing Jia Dongxu's faults and how unfilial he was.

One of them couldn't help but let out the big news.

"My Dongxu is sick, but it doesn't affect his housework! He was just a little quick. He finished with Bihua while I was getting up to drink water at night."

My goodness, not only the aunties present were numb, even Li Zhiguo was numb.

"My brother Dongxu has this disease?"

Li Zhiguo had never thought about it in this way before, and he got caught up in this big scandal for no reason.

Tang Chunyan was the only one present who was still stunned and asked: "Brother Li, what are you guys looking at? What's wrong with Jia Dongxu?"

"Well, I can't answer this question. I'll go back first. You can ask Mrs. Chen and the others."

Li Zhiguo has slipped away. If he had stayed, it would have affected the harmony in the courtyard.

After he left, Mrs. Chen whispered to Damao's wife.

Tang Chunyan immediately blushed and thought that Damao was not much better, so could he be sick too?

The big mouth of the second aunt yelled: "Li Zhiguo is the best. The creaking sound lasted for most of the night."

"That's right. No wonder Qin Huairu is so devoted to him. No matter which girl she is, she will be obedient to him."

"But Dongxu's situation is really nothing. Bihua is already pregnant, so it won't affect the continuation of the family line."

The aunts chatted for a while, and suddenly someone changed the subject, "Chunyan, you and Damao are still young, so, do you plan to have a child in two years?"

This is also the speculation of the hospital. Otherwise, why has there been no movement for several months?

Tang Chunyan shook her head. "I don't know either. It depends on Damao's arrangement."

"Da Mao must have wanted to wait two years. He is still an apprentice. Once he becomes a regular employee, his salary will be higher."

After chatting, Tang Chunyan returned to the backyard. Before entering the house, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of Li's house. Could he really stay there for half the night?
In the evening! Li Zhiguo happily drank chicken soup. It was better to use free-range chicken. It was good for the stomach and very fragrant.

He was in a good mood, and while listening to the radio, he drew a design for a foot-operated thresher.

This thing does not require electricity, and before he traveled through time, some rural areas were still using it.

The principle is very simple, but it takes a lot of effort. Even an adult woman cannot step on it. It requires a strong man to do it. Two people can operate it at the same time.

But the advantages are that it threshes quickly, is durable and not easy to break, but it is not cheap either, and its cost is higher than that of a bicycle.

However, in rural areas, many households can jointly purchase a thresher and use it in turns. During the autumn harvest, a family can complete the threshing in one day at most.

Whether threshing wheat or millet, it's very fast. Occasionally doing something that benefits the country and the people can cultivate your sentiments.

Keep the design drawings and hand them in when you go to collect your salary the day after tomorrow.

However, threshers are agricultural machines, and I wonder whether the Ministry of Metallurgy will transfer the factory to another province.

But there are many benefits to keeping it. Not only will it increase production, but it will also create more jobs, which is also a headache for the higher-ups.

How can you say you have no clothes...

"Li Zhiguo, have you eaten? The third uncle brought Jia Dongxu back."

Aunt Wang's voice came from outside the house, running from the front yard to the back yard to call someone.

"Come here!"

Li Zhiguo had no choice but to give up and said, "Huai Ru, don't attend the whole hospital meeting. There's nothing good about criticizing Jia Dongxu." "Well! Then I'll watch the water in the pot boil."

Qin Huairu didn't want to watch all this fun. Wouldn't it be better to do more work in her time?

"Li Zhiguo, don't bring the bench, I'll get it for you."

"okay!"

Immediately, he went out and went to the central courtyard with Aunt Wang, where they happened to meet Xu Damao and his wife coming out.

"Da Mao, have you eaten?"

"My brother has eaten."

Xu Damao looked very happy. He was not happy about criticizing Jia Dongxu, so he decided not to bother with this villain.

Li Zhiguo glanced at Tang Chunyan. He always felt that the way Damao's wife looked at him was a bit intriguing, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, not everyone was there yet, but the square table had already been set up.

Each family uses round tables for dining, which are convenient for taking things in and out. Some residents have small doors, and round tables are easy to put away; all you need is a table top with a shelf, and it’s cheap.

This square table used for meetings is an old tradition that has been preserved.

"Dongxu, did you catch any fish today?"

Li Zhiguo greeted her and then sat down next to Aunt Wang.

"I almost got a big fish and it ran away. I will definitely catch it tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu became interested in talking about fishing and kept talking about it nonstop.

Jia Zhang was watching from the side and wanted to slap her son. It was such a late hour and he was still thinking about fishing. He had no repentance.

It seems that she is the only one who can take over the job at the steel mill, as her son is not capable of shouldering this responsibility.

Li Zhiguo then asked the person in front, "Uncle, what about you? Did you gain anything?"

Yan Bugui pushed up the frame of his glasses, grinning from ear to ear, and said, "I'm fine. I caught a small fish that I can cook into fish soup. The fish gallbladder is also good stuff. I put it in steamed bread and give it to my family to eat."

“It’s good stuff!”

Li Zhiguo is so stupid, you are really not wasteful, you actually lied to a child.

However, fish gall has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, but it is bitter. In ancient times, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, defeated Fu Chai, the King of Wu, only after successfully detoxifying.

He felt that he should go fishing less often so as not to distort the atmosphere of the compound. How could we achieve common prosperity?

But it does not affect anything. Let a small number of people get rich first, thus driving the prosperity of the whole nation. There is nothing wrong with him taking the lead.

Soon everyone arrived. Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. He picked up his teacup and said, "I called everyone here today to talk about Jia Dongxu's recent laziness. While recuperating at home, he became obsessed with fishing and did something wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong started yelling, "This is not a single wrong thing. He stole the money. Old Yan, you have to tell me what to do."

Yan Bugui took over the conversation and said, "Didn't Jia Zhang's pension money get lost today? So I went to test Jia Dongxu, and guess what, Jia Dongxu actually had a bowl of pork noodles for lunch.

Now the store price has risen to more than 20 cents, and as far as I know, he has no money at all."

Xu Damao quickly replied, "Jia Dongxu really has no money. I saw him go to the vegetable market that day. He bought a head of loose cabbage outside and then went back."

"Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. I know how to make a living. I have money on me, so eating a big bowl of meat noodles is not a problem."

As soon as Jia Dongxu came back, he knew something had happened, but he couldn't admit it, otherwise he would be considered a thief.

Who knew that my mother, Jia Zhang, would stab me in the back, "Dongxu, I asked you to buy groceries, but I only gave you a few cents each time. You can't even save 20 cents.

Tell me how much of my pension money you have spent, and give me the rest. Make up the difference this month. Don’t steal again, or I will let your brother punish you. "

"No, why should Li Zhiguo punish me? He is only a few months older than me."

Jia Dongxu was unhappy. He clearly stole his girl, so why should he acknowledge her as his brother?

"You're not doing it right!"

Jia Zhang had a gloomy face and did not let her daughter-in-law come out. She wanted to teach her son a lesson today.

Li Zhiguo then said, "Let Dongxu hand over the remaining money. As long as he changes, he will still be a filial child."

"I……"

Jia Dongxu wanted to say something, but everyone in the hospital was staring at him, so he had to rummage out the money from his bag.

"It's all here. There's four dollars and eighty-six cents left."

Jia Zhang grabbed the money and said, "Oh my God, it's only been a short time and you've already spent more than five dollars. Why don't you go..."

In the end, she held back the word "death", after all, he was her son.

"Mom, you don't know how expensive it is to eat out. How can it compare to the factory cafeteria? Doesn't Li Zhiguo eat out every day? And so does Xu Damao's wife."

Jia Dongxu felt that he was right. There were three newlywed couples in the hospital, and the other two were living this way, so why couldn't he do the same.

"Oh, how can you compare with them? Our family is poor!"

Jia Zhang didn't care about the Jia family's reputation. The family situation was like this. All the money was spent on buying the sewing machine. Everyone in the hospital knew about it and she couldn't hide it.

"Mom, our family is not poor. We are going to live a good life."

Jia Dongxu was about to cry. This was a meeting of the entire institute. What were they talking about? Did they have any shame?

"Okay, stop talking about this. Jia Dongxu, you stole money. This matter must be dealt with seriously."

Liu Haizhong wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the person, and now he has done it.

Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly: "Old Liu, it depends on the situation. The last time Dongxu stole our chickens, it was similar to this time.

The pension money is also earned by him from work. This is all family affairs. It is just greed and wanting to eat good food. It has little to do with moral character. "

Li Zhiguo saw clearly that Yi Zhonghai was protecting Jia Dongxu like a fool. He was protecting Jia Dongxu as a pensioner and he couldn't make him useless, otherwise how would he be provided for in the future.

But the same thing goes, Yi Zhonghai will not hand over the money until he retires, it is not easy to be a senior citizen.

Yan Bugui continued, "Although Jia Dongxu stole his family's money, it is not a small matter. We must nip it in the bud. Li Zhiguo, think of a way to solve this problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard felt insecure. The last meeting of the whole courtyard was to ask people to think of a solution, but what happened was that every household was thoroughly investigated by Li Zhiguo.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Zhiguo thought for a moment and said, "My brother Dongxu is lazy. I broke his fishing rod and I can't give him a penny in the future.

Let Jia Zhang go to buy groceries, and Dongxu just needs to do the laundry, cooking, and housework. After a few months, when he corrects his behavior, you can consider giving him some pocket money."

"I think it's a good idea. This is how we should control people."

"Jia Dongxu is still young and needs to be taught well. I agree with Li Zhiguo's approach."

"I agree. The Jia family only has one room. Cleaning and cooking are not tiring."

Everyone in the hospital agreed that as long as they were not involved, it would be fine. As for whether Jia Dongxu lived a good life or not, it had nothing to do with them.

Jia Dongxu was anxious, "This won't do. How can I, a grown man, not have some money on me?"

"Dongxu, forget it, if you have money, just spend it on yourself.

You used to bring your wife with you, but now you eat alone. From now on, you are not allowed to touch the money."

Jia Zhang was thinking about where to hide her pension money to prevent her son from stealing it again.

Yi Zhonghai also said, "Just do as Li Zhiguo said. Dismiss! Dongxu, you deserve this. You have been a bad student all day long."

"Oh, I can't live like this anymore, Mom. I have to go back to work."

Jia Dongxu cried and shouted, only to see that his mother had taken out his fishing rod and broke it with a snap. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Oh my god, you're killing me."

Jia Dongxu squatted on the ground and cried loudly. It was all over. The big fish escaped today and could not be caught.

Li Zhiguo shook his head, knowing that if he controlled people so harshly, there would definitely be problems, but Jia Dongxu had to go through a hard time so that he would know how hard life is. He should learn from it in the future!

He is doing good things for a good person, and he feels that his state of mind has been elevated. Mencius said, "Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters." This makes sense.

"You deserve it. You dare to say that about my wife? My wife is fine!"

Xu Damao walked up to him cursing, but he was smiling. Jia Dongxu was just stupid and wanted to learn from Li Zhiguo. Would others agree to that? He would definitely cheat people!

Unlike him, I do have aspirations. I want to be a section chief or an official in the future.

Li Zhiguo was just about to leave when he saw Yan Bugui helping to clean up the broken fishing rod. Wow, the fishing line and fish hook on it were still usable, worth three cents.

At night, Jia Dongxu's hard days began. Working overtime in the yard washing clothes under the dim light became a beautiful landscape.

When he finished hanging the clothes and came back to the house, my mother was snoring. What a situation.

"Wife, you won't really listen to mom, will you? Can you secretly give me some money?"

Jia Dongxu was still thinking about going out to a restaurant tomorrow. The food would be delicious and he would also have face.
