Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 469: 5 Yuan as Gift

"Okay, as long as you say this, Lao Liu, it will be fine."

Wang Dabao took out three more boxes of cigarettes from the cloth bag and handed them to Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, "Take these and smoke them. Please give this box to Lao Zhou."

"Old Liu, take the time to clean up the yard. There will be a wedding next Sunday. Although not many people will come, we can't let people laugh at our yard. The windows and other things were painted last time. Please help clean up any area that needs cleaning."

"Brother Dabao, leave this matter to me. You can rest assured that I will definitely handle it."

Liu Haizhong patted his chest and made the promise.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to lag behind: "Brother Dabao, if you have anything to do, just tell us. We will definitely do it beautifully."

Yan Bugui saw that you two were the only ones who were active, and quickly said, "That's right, Dabao, let's have a good discussion tonight. We must not be vague about important matters in life."

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. It will just be a matter of setting up a few tables in the backyard. If there is anything I can't think of, please help me take care of it."

Wang Dabao waved his hand, "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll take a nap and cook two dishes. You and your wife don't need to help in the evening. You guys can come over for a drink at six o'clock. I'll also ask Lao Zhou to come along for me."

After saying hello, Wang Dabao pushed his bicycle to the backyard.

Liu Haizhong and the other two were left in the front yard, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"We have to pay attention to Dabao's wedding, so that when people come, they will embarrass Dabao." Liu Haizhong said solemnly with a serious face.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui nodded beside them. What kind of status did Wang Dabao have? If they didn't live in the same courtyard, they would never have the chance to meet such a high-ranking official. Let alone a section chief, even if there was a member of the security department living in this courtyard, they would have to treat him like a lord.

"I just heard from Dabao that the people who are making the tables in the courtyard should be people from our courtyard and those who came from my hometown. The leaders of the factory should be arranged separately, but they may come to check in on the day."

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were immediately startled. There were not many people who could be considered as Wang Dabao's leaders, and they had no contact with them at all.

They also understood that these people were not just going through the motions.

The Security Department is officially under the jurisdiction of the steel rolling mill, but it is just a title. Wang Dabao has no right to pay any attention to what the factory director says.

Yi Zhonghai slapped his forehead and held the cigarette in his hand: "Dabao is really generous, we haven't even done the wedding yet, and they have already given out wedding cigarettes, we should also discuss how much to give as a gift?!"

"Oh, thanks to Lao Yi's reminder, I almost forgot about this. It would be so embarrassing if I went out to drink empty-handed at night." Liu Haizhong was also shocked and looked at Yan Bugui hurriedly, "Lao Yan, let's go to your house and discuss it."

The current manager, Uncle Zhou, was taking a nap at home when Liu Haizhong pulled him over.

Four people gathered around the round table in Yan Bugui's house. For the first time ever, Yan Bugui added more tea leaves to make the tea look less bland.

When Xu Damao got married, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong gave him one yuan, so Wang Dabao should get at least two yuan.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai raised the price from two yuan to three yuan.

Yi Zhonghai asked for it, so he can definitely pay it. Liu Haizhong can also afford it if he grits his teeth. Lao Zhou is a level six welder in the factory, earning more than 60 yuan a month, so it's no problem.

The problem is that Yan Bugui thought it was too little, instead of being too much.

Yan Bugui thinks he doesn't follow me enough?!

The three people on the opposite side were all dumbfounded. Who is Yan Bugui? How much is his monthly salary? Why does he think it is too little? !

This is so fucking scary!

Wang Dabao only got married once, and Yan Buguihuo was also married. Considering his relationship with Wang Dabao, the money must not be less than two dollars.

Although he doesn't earn much every month, he still has some savings.

Wang Dabao also helped him cheat Liu Haizhong and others out of more than a hundred yuan, and saved Yan Jiekuang's life. These were all favors.

Besides, with the relationship between Wang Dabao and Yan Jiekuang, as long as Wang Dabao does not lose power, Yan Jiekuang will basically have a formal job in ten years or so. What a great network of contacts!

Based on Yan Bugui's understanding of Wang Dabao, he will only get better and better. He is a smart guy, how could he lose his power?

So it's worth the money.

Yan Bugui stretched out his hand: "Five dollars."

Looking at the surprised expressions of the three people in front of him, Yan Bugui felt a sense of pride. It depends on whether you will tell others that I deducted your money in the future. I must scare you to death today.

"boom!!!"

Liu Haizhong slapped the table and said, "Five dollars is five dollars. I'll pay five dollars too."

Yi Zhonghai and Lao Zhou looked at each other. Yi Zhonghai had no children, so five dollars was no problem for him. If it weren't for Liu Haizhong and the others, he would have no difficulty giving ten dollars. He was afraid of being too prominent when discussing with these managers.

Mr. Zhou has two sons. The eldest has already married and moved out, but the younger one is getting married, so it is a bit difficult for him to take five dollars.

"Five dollars is five dollars, that's the amount I'll take too."

Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, Lao Zhou gritted his teeth and spoke.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Okay, let's order five dollars."

At this moment, the door curtain was opened and Yan Jiekuang came back from playing outside. "What five dollars?"

Yan Bugui took a sip of tea. He didn't expect that his five yuan offer didn't scare the three people. "Your uncle Dabao is getting married. He wants you to come with me to dinner tonight. We are discussing the gift."

"Really? Uncle Dabao is getting married?"

Yan Jiekuang almost jumped up with joy, then glared, "Dad, you can't give five dollars. Uncle Dabao and I have a good relationship, and he has a good relationship with our family. He also saved me. You have to give ten dollars."

When Yan Bugui heard this, his hand holding the cup shook so much that he almost dropped the cup.

My goodness, ten yuan, that’s ten yuan. Just one request from his son and half a month’s salary is gone.

"No, if you give him too much, your Uncle Dabao won't accept it." Yan Bugui hurriedly persuaded his son. However, what he said was not wrong. If he really gave him ten yuan, Wang Dabao would definitely not accept it.

What if I give it to you today and you ask me to find a job for your eldest son tomorrow?

In the end, under Yan Jiekuang's unwilling eyes, the share money was set at five yuan.

Wang Dabao had no idea what they were discussing, and five dollars was not something he was interested in.

After returning home, he lit the stove and went into the space farm. He asked the housekeeper to cook, then lay down on the bed, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

Wang Dabao slept until 4:30 and just as he got up, Xu Damao came to visit.

Judging from Xu Damao's expression, he didn't seem depressed at all about losing his position as the third uncle. Instead, he looked refreshed.

"Dabao, I saw you didn't have a padlock, so I came over."

Wang Dabao motioned him to sit down and said, "If you don't come, I will have to find you. You can eat at my place tonight. I have a wedding next week and Lao Liu and the others will come over tonight. I will have to call Sha Zhu later and he will cook for me."

"No matter what grudge you have, Damao, you have to give me some face and not make a scene here."
