evening.

At the street intersection, Li Xinmei got off the back seat and looked at Jiang Ping'an with a smile.

"You really don't want me to take you home?" Jiang Ping'an asked with his legs on the bicycle, lighting a cigarette.

Li Xinmei shook her head and said, "There are not many steps to go, you should smoke less, it's not good for your health."

Jiang Ping'an smiled slightly, nodded, and asked, "Is it really all right?"

"Ah! Don't ask too many questions, it doesn't matter if you walk." Li Xinmei said shyly, covering her face.

After taking a few deep breaths, she put down her hands, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"Go first, I'll watch you go, I'll be waiting for you at the school gate tomorrow."

Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Don't go to the school gate, go to this place, you won't be afraid of rain or shine."

Li Xinmei tilted her head, wrote down the address, nodded and said, "Okay, don't let me go!"

After a pause, she hesitated and said, "I want to be transferred to Hongxing Hospital, which is closer to your home."

"Whatever you want, do you need my help?" Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Li Xinmei shook her head and smiled, "No, I'll just tell my dad."

She came from a medical family, and her father was also a cadre of the city's health department.

Knowing her family background, Jiang Pingan didn't say much, waved his hand, and pedaled away.

Li Xinmei pursed her lips, watched him disappear into the street, and smiled slightly.

……

director's office.

"Take these books back and have a look. If you don't know how to come to school to find me, I will arrange a teacher to tutor you."

Dean Gao took a dozen books and handed them to Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Pingan took it and flipped through a few books at random, all of which were in English and contained everything.

"Thank you Dean, when is the exam?" Jiang Ping'an asked with a smile.

Dean Gao smiled and said, "I don't know. This matter was arranged by the superior department. There is no exact time."

"You study at ease first, don't think about it, I will notify you when the exam notice comes."

He said earnestly, "Student Ping An, this is a rare encounter, you must seize it!"

"If you can pass the exam, it is not only the honor of the school, but also the honor of your unit."

"You must have high standards and strict requirements, and study the books I gave you well."

"Let me tell you straight, there are as many as thousands of people taking the exam each time, but only about ten people are actually admitted each time."

"In addition to the written test, there are also interviews and reviews in all aspects, so you can't be careless in any aspect."

Jiang Pingan took a breath, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dean, I will definitely study hard and forge ahead."

"Don't embarrass the school and the unit, but also inspire progress for your own progress, strive for excellence, and practice skills hard!"

……

I went to night school and went back to the courtyard.

Looking at the pile of books on the Kang table, Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Well, the learning task is even heavier now.

Although Dean Gao said that the admission rate of each exam is very low.

But Jiang Ping'an had never been one to back down easily.

He is easy-going, able to play and busy.

"Well, in order to seize this opportunity, I have to read for a while at night..."

Chapter 3 Nine people are impetuous, and they come to the door one after another

in the room.

The table lamp was on, and Jiang Ping'an was studying hard.

Footsteps came from outside the door, and Jiang Pingan came back to his senses, and heard Nanyi asking softly outside the door:

"Chief Jiang! I'm Nan Yi, can I disturb you for a while?"

Jiang Ping'an stretched his waist and replied, "Come in!"

Soon, Nanyi walked in, holding two lunch boxes and two bottles of Moutai.

"You are..." Jiang Pingan asked suspiciously.

Nan Yi smiled and stepped forward, put down the lunch box and wine, and replied:

"It's thanks to Section Chief Jiang, who gave me a room in the backyard along the street."

"Hehe, I'm also Chief Jiang's neighbor now."

"I heard that you are studying at night school at night. It must be very hard, right?"

"So I prepared some appetizers and wanted to express my gratitude to Section Chief Jiang."

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "You're being polite, don't call me the chief of the section in private, it's very natural."

"We are all working class, not so particular, if you don't mind, just call me Lao Jiang!"

"Don't dare, I'll ask you to lead." Nanyi said quickly.

As he spoke, he opened the two lunch boxes and said with a smile:

"Leader, look, stir-fried sausages and spicy dried fish are perfect for drinking, and they are still hot!"

Jiang Pingan glanced at him, then asked with a smile:

"Are you keeping watch all night, waiting for me to come back from school?"

"Hehe, the leader serves the people, and I serve the leader." Nanyi smiled.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept the food and drink, just to taste your craftsmanship."

"But it's just this time, don't be so troublesome again in the future, I don't lack this stutter."

While talking, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui came over together.

Jiang Pingan welcomed a few people to the living room to sit down, set out the food and wine brought by Nanyi, and invited them to chat while eating.

"Well, Master Nan's craftsmanship is amazing, it's delicious, it's so delicious!" Yan Bugui said with a smile after eating the food.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also applauded, Nan Yi smiled but did not reply.

Jiang Ping'an ordered: "You can also eat in Nanyi. I'm here to entertain a few uncles with flowers and Buddhas. You are welcome."

As he spoke, he poured the wine again, one glass for each.

"Tsk tsk, Moutai wine, how much food will you have to exchange for this sip!" Yan Bugui said.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Old Yan, if you have something to eat and drink, don't talk too much, let alone be good-looking if you get cheap!"

"Okay! I'm talking too much!" Yan Bugui slapped himself on the mouth lightly.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Haizhong put down the bowl and chopsticks, and muttered:

"We came here overnight, just to discuss with Ping An about the new selection of the uncle in the courtyard."

Nanyi hurriedly said: "Leader, three uncles, it's getting late, I'll go back to rest first, you have something to talk about slowly."

He just came to the courtyard, so it's not easy to get involved in these things.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Go back first. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."

After Nanyi said goodbye and left, Jiang Pingan said to the three uncles:

"I've told my uncle about this before, so I won't get involved, and you guys are planning it yourself."

Yan Bugui said: "In our courtyard, the uncle has not been changed for more than ten years, so we have to be cautious."

"Ping'an, you have always been upright. For the stability and harmony in the courtyard, you have to help check."

Liu Haizhong continued: "We have selected three candidates, namely Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and Zheng Gang."

"Director Wang of the Street said that the list must be submitted before this Saturday."

"Ping'an, which of these three people do you think is suitable to be an uncle? Help me to give advice."

Jiang Pingan pondered: "It's hard to say, the three of them have their own advantages and disadvantages."

"Well, I propose to convene a meeting of the whole house, how about electing the uncle by means of democratic voting?"

He knew that these three people must have their own filth in private and they couldn't agree with each other, so they came to him.

But he was too lazy to get involved in this matter, whoever became the uncle was the same to him.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "I also support voting, so everyone will be convinced when the result comes out."

Although he is out of class now, he still has prestige after being a master for so many years.

That's why Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui didn't bypass him, and it was better to ask him to check it out than to mess with him.

Yan Bugui hesitated and said, "I elected democratically. If we elect someone else, we will lose face."

He is different from Liu Haizhong, he is not as powerful as Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard.

It can be said that they have been living under Yi Zhonghai's shadow all these years, so they lack confidence.

"What's there to be ashamed of? It doesn't matter who you choose." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

"And you can only be the third master, you can't be the first master?"

Liu Haizhong nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, everything is said first come, first served."

Jiang Pingan was speechless, but he didn't bother to say anything more. If he had that time, he might as well read more.

But Jiang Ping'an's words still carry a lot of weight.

Since he supported voting, the three uncles no longer hesitated and planned to hold a general meeting tomorrow night.

"Ping An, your unfinished wine..." Yan Bugui flattered.

Jiang Pingan said expressionlessly: "Third Master, you must be content in life."

"If I can take out this wine and drink it generously, I've already given you some face."

"Speaking of today's matter, you took the initiative to find me, so you should buy me a drink."

"What's the matter? Now I invite you to drink instead. Is this wine still drunk?"

Liu Haizhong answered, "It's Lao Yan, don't be ignorant!"

"Old Yan, if you can have a sip of Moutai these days, you can enjoy it secretly, don't look forward to Sichuan!" Yi Zhonghai also chimed in.

Yan Bugui's face flushed with embarrassment, he was habitually trying to take advantage of it, but unexpectedly he was criticized.

"Yeah, it's my fault, I'm obsessed with ghosts, I was wrong!" Yan Bugui quickly apologized.

Jiang Pingan waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go!"

The three dispersed, and within a minute, Xu Damao came over with two bottles of Wuliangye.

"Jiang Ping'an, the reason the three uncles came to you before was for the selection of uncles, right?"

Xu Damao handed the wine to Jiang Ping'an and asked.

Jiang Pingan didn't pick it up, and said with a smile, "You'd better take this wine home!"

"I told you, I don't get involved in the election of the uncle, really!"

Xu Damao laughed and said: "Look at what you said, our brother's relationship is so strong, what's wrong with asking you to drink?"

"Oh? If you say that, I will definitely accept this wine." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Xu Damao nodded and smiled: "It should be accepted, but in the matter of choosing the uncle, can you support me a little bit?"

"Okay, when the time comes to vote for you, it's not an election, right?" Jiang Pingan replied with a smile.

After getting the letter, Xu Damao left contentedly.
