Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

"Isn't it?" Hu Yong said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "Without my brother's help, I would have gone to the countryside long ago. How could I have gotten this job?"

However, the female comrade sneered and said, "Don't you deserve your job? What does it have to do with your brother?"

Hu Yong opened his mouth to argue, but the female comrade interrupted him and said, "If he really likes you, why doesn't he personally guide you in the factory? Why doesn't he introduce you to the leaders? Why does he want you to start from the grassroots level?"

"He himself is often not in the factory, how can he guarantee that others are dedicated to you?"

"You can't feel these, so you should know the things in your own family best, right?"

"That's your sister Li Wanying. Doesn't she also have a job? Why? That's because your brother has already arranged it for her. When she gets a job, it will be a position that others will never be able to get in their entire lives!"

"Besides, your sister lives with your brother. Who does she know? What about you? Why don't you live with them? Who do you usually know?"

"Not only did your brother not take you in, he didn't even give you the opportunity to meet the senior people. You keep saying that your brother treats you like his own brother. Tell me, is this the treatment a brother should receive?"

These words made Hu Yong very unhappy.

Hu Yong replied dissatisfiedly: "Malanlan, that's enough. Don't be too greedy. My brother has helped me enough!"

The female comrade named Ma Lanlan sneered again: "Haha, why don't you refute me directly, but instead tell me about greed? You know in your heart that he doesn't treat you as his own brother at all, and some of the things he did to you were just done out of convenience."

"You are clearly entitled to more, but you are so grateful for this little bit of charity. Are you used to being bullied?"

"Your mother works like a slave for him, and you are also a member of their family. Don't you deserve some things? What did Li Wanying do? What did you do? Shouldn't you be treated the same as her?"

"And you, don't always think that you are inferior to others. Don't be submissive in front of others and don't dare to look them in the eye. You think you are being polite, but in the eyes of others, you may be bullied or incompetent. You have to change this in the future!"

Malanlan became more and more excited as she spoke.

Hu Yong waved his hand and said, "That's enough. This is our family affair. You don't need to interfere!"

Hearing this, Ma Lanlan became even more excited and shouted, "Hu Yong, what the hell are you talking about? So, I'm dating you and want to marry you, but you treat me as an outsider?"

Hu Yong quickly explained: "That's not what I meant..."

Ma Lanlan was not willing to give in, and continued, "So you are this kind of person. I thought I was supporting you, thinking about everything for you, and making progress together. With my encouragement, you will get better and better, but you look at me like this. What am I doing for you? Isn't it all for our future to be better?"

Hu Yong was in the wrong, so he had to try to comfort her, but Ma Lanlan was too angry to listen.

Half an hour later....

After Hu Yong lowered his posture for a long time, Ma Lanlan finally calmed down a little, and then continued: "Okay, I already know what you mean, but you have to understand what I mean. I want to marry you and have children, so I have to consider you."

"You are still young, you should learn to think for yourself. Otherwise, what will happen when we get married and have children? Will your son take over your position and still be an ordinary worker?"

Hu Yong explained: "It's not like that. My brother asked me to study while working. I may change my career in the future, but it's not the right time yet."

Ma Lanlan retorted: "Only you can fool me. I don't know what you studied. There is no college entrance examination now, and the educated youth have all gone to the countryside, but you are going backwards to learn physics and chemistry from textbooks. Are these really useful? The uncle in your compound is a teacher, but he is still sweeping the streets now, isn't he?"

Hu Yong didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Ma Lanlan sighed and said, "I think those are just your brother's way of perfunctorily treating you. You should have your own ideas and strive for some benefits that you can see, instead of focusing on these illusory promises. Besides, didn't your brother promise to transfer you to another position?"

"Think about it, what position or unit can you transfer to after learning this? It seems that the only way to become a scientist is to become a teacher, right?"

"You know the situation of teachers, but what about scientists? Do you think you can reach that level with your talent? Can you enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences or something? Your brother himself is not even a scientist."

"With the university closed, it can be said that the path to becoming a scientist is also closed. Do you think you can do what your brother can't do?"

"So think about it calmly. What's the point of learning all this? Are you wasting your youth? Shouldn't you strive for more practical benefits while you are still young?"

From Malanlan's perspective, although the tone was not very good and the words were a bit harsh, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic.

So Hu Yong was shaken for the first time.

He didn't know Li Zhenmin's current situation, but he learned from some information at home that Li Zhenmin was doing research related to medicine. He entered the research institute some time ago, but later came out.

He didn't know the specific reasons, but it was obvious to ordinary people that they were driven out because of their lack of culture.

If Li Zhenmin is like this, then what about Hu Yong?

If he asks himself honestly, he definitely can't do that, so...what's the point of learning all that knowledge from books?

At this moment, Hu Yong began to doubt Li Zhenmin's intention of asking him to learn things from textbooks.

He didn't want to believe that Li Zhenmin had any bad intentions towards him, but he really couldn't find a reason to convince himself that Li Zhenmin was really good to him.

Just as Ma Lanlan said, Li Zhenmin's attitude towards him seemed a bit perfunctory.

"Then what do you say I should do? How can I get something else?"

"Ability? That's not up to you. How many leaders have you seen who are truly capable? I think with your brother's relationship with the factory director, he can at least transfer you to an office position instead of working in the workshop in the dark."

"office?"

"Yes, an office position is easy and you can get to know more leaders. With your brother's connections, even if you can't get the position right away, you can get promoted in two or three years, right? Your brother won't be embarrassed about this, right? And if your status is improved, I will also have face, and I can explain it to my family, and we can get married more smoothly, right?"

"……let me see."

"What are you still hesitating about? Do you think your brother won't even help you with this?"

"Not really, but I just joined the factory, and it's not a good idea to tell my brother about this right away. Let's talk about it later."

.........

.........

Two days later.

After repeated checks and Wang Changman's review, Li Zhenmin finalized the research report.
