Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 201 Neighbors actively participate in the sports meeting

Delay?

When Li Huaide mentioned this, Wang Hongtao immediately remembered Sister She’s previous complaint, saying that Li Huaide’s time…

Damn it, that must not be the case! This is not a movie about daily life, who would like to label themselves as a cuckold?

So Wang Hongtao frowned and said, "That's not true. The medicine can only stimulate the body. I suggest that Director Li exercise more often and pay attention to maintenance, which will be more effective."

Director Li didn't doubt it after hearing it: "Well, I was just asking casually. It seems that I thought too much. Now this one is very good."

"Of course I also know that this medicine is not easy to make. If you help me put in a little more effort, you will benefit a lot."

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Director Li, you can rest assured. Whenever I have time, I will go to the old Chinese doctor to tinker with it. I will shamelessly get you a few more pills."

"Okay, that's the kind of work ethic we need! The leader of your Transportation Department's Group 2 is about to be transferred, and I think you're a good fit. I'll give you a new position after the sports meet is over."

"Oh, thank you so much, Director Li!"

"With what you said, Director Li, I'm going to give up my dignity and give you a few more pills!"

……

When I went to pick up She Lijuan in the afternoon, She Lijuan took a long time to get off work.

I came down to explain to Wang Hongtao that recently more and more people from other places have fled to Beijing, and the street office cannot handle it all at once.

Not only was the resettlement site overcrowded, it also caused many social problems, causing the street office to be extremely anxious.

Wang Hongtao had no good solution to this problem. The reason why so many people fled to the capital was ultimately because of the food problem.

I have no food to eat and I’m hungry.

With food, everything can be solved easily; without food, nothing can be done.

The subdistrict office held a meeting for the entire afternoon, and finally decided that while providing assistance, they should also complete the layoffs as quickly as possible to reduce the burden.

……

Back to the courtyard, the courtyard is also conveying this spirit. Once there are too many floating population from outside, it is easy for illegal and criminal activities such as theft, robbery, extortion, and fighting to arise.

Yi Zhonghai convened a meeting of the entire hospital for this purpose. While conveying the spirit, he called on the neighbors to be vigilant and report any suspicious situation immediately.

After the meeting, the workers at the steel mill discussed the sports meeting again.

Sha Zhu signed up for wrestling, Liu Haizhong signed up for weightlifting, and there was also a team tug-of-war competition.

Xu Damao had just returned from the countryside and had not had time to sign up, but he said he wanted to sign up for the long-distance race.

Yes, Xu Damao must have good endurance as he often carries the projector to the countryside. If he signs up for long-distance running, he might even win a place.

When Xu Damao heard that Sha Zhu had signed up for wrestling, he smiled.

"I say, Silly Zhu, you can only show off your power in our courtyard with your two hands. Have you forgotten what happened to you when you were thrown by Liu Yuhua last time?"

"I advise you not to go up there and embarrass yourself. Think more about how to weigh the spoon properly!"

"Ha ha…."

This brought laughter from the surrounding neighbors.

If Xu Damao hadn't mentioned it, the neighbors would have almost forgotten about Sha Zhu being beaten up by Liu Yuhua. It was truly a crushing defeat.

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao bring up the past, his face turned red. "Go away, why are you bringing up that? Liu Yuhua is a three-time wrestling champion. Isn't it normal that I can't beat her?"

"I think Xu Damao, you're itching again."

"It's just right. I signed up for wrestling and need a sparring partner. Xu Damao, come and practice with me!"

Xu Damao turned and ran: "Pah, I signed up for a long-distance race, if you have the ability, catch up with me first!"

Amidst laughter, the two men chased each other around the yard.

"Abin, have you signed up for this sports meet?"

In the Intermediate Courtyard, Wang Hongtao walked to his brother's house and asked.

"I signed up for weightlifting and wrestling, and was originally planning to sign up for pole flipping, but since you're going, I won't go."

The two brothers had played the game of flipping a carrying pole before. Abin was stronger, but strangely, he could never flip the carrying pole over as well as Hongtao.

Of course, the strength mentioned here refers to Wang Hongtao before he traveled through time. As for the current state, there is no way to compare.

"Well, while there is still time, practice more with your colleagues in the security department. If you don't want to participate, then do your best."

Hearing his brother say this, Wang Hongbin suddenly became interested: "How about we give it a try? Those people in the security department are no match for me."

Wang Hongbin was not bragging when he said this. Although there were many retired soldiers in the security department, they were only good at firearms and bayonet fighting, and they were not particularly good at serious fighting and wrestling.

Wang Hongtao smiled and waved his hands: "Let's not play in the yard. It would be no fun to scare the idiot next door out of the competition."

Hearing that the steel rolling mill was going to hold another sports meeting, and the rewards were so generous, the old man in the front yard was extremely envious.

"If you want to find a job, you have to look in big factories. Not to mention the welfare benefits, there are so many prizes even for a sports meet. It would be great if our school could hold a sports meet for faculty and staff someday." Yan Bugui said enviously.

Yan Jiecheng immediately poured cold water on him: "No matter how good the prize is, you have to win it. Dad, what kind of competition can you participate in with your body? Wrestling? Running?"

"You fall down when a wrestler blows on you, and you can't catch up with a runner even if he gives you a bicycle. You'd better just take a rest."

Yan Bugui was furious: "We are a school. If we really hold a sports meet, how can we compare with these? If we hold a mental arithmetic or abacus competition, Dad will definitely win a prize!"

At this time, Yu Li said: "What our father said is not wrong. I don't know anyone who can be as calculating as our father!"

"That's pretty much it."

Yan Bugui said something smooth before realizing what Yu Li meant: "Yu Li, what do you mean? Do you think I am calculating?"

"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. I'm the only one in my family with a formal job. How can I not be a bit calculating?"

"If you don't want me to plot against you, you can just reconcile and become a couple, and find a job as soon as possible..."

Whenever he was criticized for being scheming, the uncle would change the topic to work.

It works really well. They keep silent when I pull them.

How can you be so confident when you are married and have a family and can't even find a decent job?

Seeing her father-in-law playing his trump card, Yu Li also played her own trump card: "Oh, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to the backyard to help with cooking."

After saying that, Yu Li ran to the backyard anxiously.

……

The main dish tonight is cornmeal pancakes, which are soft and sweet, crispy but not hard, and full of the fresh corn flavor when you take a bite.

I also asked Yu Li to learn how to make hand-shredded cabbage, which was delicious when eaten with spicy soup.

Seeing Yu Li licking her tongue while spreading the pancakes, Wang Hongtao couldn't help but tease her: "Why don't you want to eat secretly today? Have you changed your personality?"

Yu Li blushed when she heard this, probably because she remembered the scene when she was caught stealing dumplings.

Turning her head, she was greeted by Wang Hongtao's mischievous eyes. Yu Li glanced at him charmingly: "What do you mean by eating secretly? Really, if I want to eat, I will eat openly."

Wang Hongtao hugged Yu Li from behind and said, "It doesn't matter how much you eat from me, but you can't take it back without my permission."

Yu Li leaned back and said, "I know. I'm only taking some back to handle the errands. I wouldn't want to take more."

Wang Hongtao nodded: "You keep it burning here, I'll go to the door to smoke a cigarette, so that the smoke won't drift into the house."
