Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Six months passed and it was almost National Day. During this period, Yi Zhonghai assembled the first lathe in the steel rolling mill. Commendations came one after another and Yi Zhonghai received many honors. It happened that the chief of the engineering department was about to retire not long ago, and the leaders of the steel rolling mill held a meeting to recommend Yi Zhonghai as the new chief. Then Secretary Wang retired, and Director Yang became the factory secretary and director. The father-in-law of Director Li of Logistics also began to work hard to get Li Huaide a position as deputy director.

Lou Zhenhua also approached Yi Zhonghai several times. After Yi Zhonghai's advice last time, Lou Zhenhua arranged for his family in Hong Kong to help transport food and some medical equipment to donate to the country for free. The higher-ups naturally saw Lou Zhenhua's idea, and they also needed a group of red capitalists to appease another group of capitalists in China. So the higher-ups issued a red capitalist inscription to Lou Zhenhua.

The reason why Lou Zhenhua looked for Yi Zhonghai several times was to ask Yi Zhonghai what the next step should be. Considering the problem of wind in the later period, Yi Zhonghai suggested that Lou Zhenhua should develop more roads on both sides, which might give him more opportunities in the future. After what Yi Zhonghai said last time, Lou Zhenhua now has great trust in Yi Zhonghai.

In the courtyard, Yan Bugui always held a grudge against Liu Haizhong's letter of complaint. From then on, whenever Liu Haizhong beat a child, Yan Bugui would go to the street office and the police station to ask public officials to deal with Liu Haizhong. As a result, now Liu Haizhong doesn't even dare to beat his children, and can only scold Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu at home every day!

Liu Haizhong felt upset for a few days and wanted to beat his children. Before he could take off his belt, his two sons quickly ran to the street office or Yan Bugui's house. Every time Liu Haizhong went to the house to ask for an explanation, Yan Bugui would push him back in the name of the old man in the courtyard. Over time, Liu Haizhong also found out that his report on Yan Bugui had been discovered.

At the same time, Liu Haizhong also found out that all the reworked parts in the factory were due to Yi Zhonghai's complaints, which forced Liu Haizhong to return to the yard and not beat his children, and return to the factory to be a grandson. As time went on, even the little belly that Liu Haizhong was proud of disappeared due to anger.

On the other hand, Xu Damao's wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Xu's mother came to the courtyard to take care of her daughter-in-law. Everyone said that Xu Damao's wife must be pregnant with twins. Xu's mother was happy to show off her daughter-in-law's pregnancy every time she went out to chat with the old women. After Wang Xiaojuan's pregnancy, Xu Damao was also extremely low-key in the courtyard.

The Jia family, without Jia Zhangshi, also restored the relationship with Shazhu. Although there was no lunch box, Qin Huairu could still survive by helping her from time to time. There was definitely enough food and coarse grains at home. As for Banggeng, he became much more sensible after being educated by Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, and he also got rid of the habit of stealing. There was no other way. Once he stole something, his father and mother would beat him, and they would beat him very hard every time.

After this period of respite, Jia Dongxu recovered and began to show his talents in the yard! He no longer had to sweep the toilets in the factory and began to be powerful again. He gradually came into contact with Sun Laizi. The two of them often got drunk and even visited the Eight Great Hutongs.

At the He family, Sha Zhu worked hard to flatter Director Yang and Director Li and was praised by the two directors. He was then reinstated as the canteen supervisor. After the deaf old lady had told Sha Zhu not to get too close to Qin Huairu several times, she saw that Sha Zhu was getting deeper and deeper into the relationship and had no other options. It was impossible to force him at such an age, but the matchmakers around were annoyed by the deaf old lady. When they saw that your grandson was so close to someone else's wife, who would be willing to introduce a date to Sha Zhu? Of course, Yi Zhonghai didn't know whether Xu Damao had done anything about this, and he didn't want to know.

On this day, Liu Haizhong's eldest son graduated and found a job. Liu Guangqi turned down all the blind dates introduced by his family and instead brought back a classmate.

Liu Family, Liu Haizhong: "Guangqi, who is this?"

Liu Guangqi: "Dad, this is my classmate and my girlfriend, her name is Li Mei." Then Liu Guangqi introduced his family members to Li Mei.

When Liu Guangqi brought his girlfriend back to the yard, he aroused the envy of a large number of young people. Among them, Sha Zhu was the most envious and said, "Why is there no one who appreciates such a good person like me?"

Yan Jiecheng even told Yan Bugui that he wanted to go on a blind date. Yan Bugui had no choice but to use his connections to find a matchmaker. During this period, Yan Bugui resumed his status as a substitute teacher due to his active performance and the shortage of teachers in the school. Although he was not a class teacher, at least he didn't have to clean the school and his salary also increased a lot.

The Liu family had a very good meal, with a loving father and a filial son. During the dinner, Liu Haizhong learned that the father of this person named Li Mei was a leader in Baocheng. Liu Haizhong was even more satisfied because this would help his son.

When they were about to go back, Liu Haizhong, for the first time ever, gave the other party a lot of food for her to take back and eat.

After Liu Guangqi sent his girlfriend home, he returned home and ran into Liu Haizhong at the door.

Liu Haizhong: "Guangqi, has your partner been sent back?"

Liu Guangqi: "Well, Dad, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Liu Haizhong: "Guangqi, when do you plan to get married? After all, you and Li Mei are both working, so it's time to talk about marriage."

Liu Guangqi: "My boyfriend said that we can discuss it with his parents when they come back this month."

Liu Haizhong nodded and went back into the house. Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong's back, wondering what he was thinking.

On the other side, Li Mei returned home and found that her parents had returned from Baocheng at some point in time.

Father Li: "How about it? Is your partner Liu Guangqi willing to follow us to defend the city?"

Li Mei: "Dad, today is the first time we meet her parents and we haven't had time to tell them yet. Besides, we should wait until after we get married to tell them, right?"

Li's mother said, "Silly girl, now that you've married him, will he care about what you say? Many times, things have to be made clear before marriage."

Li Mei nodded to show that she understood. Father Li said to Mother Li, "Look at this girl. She has been spoiled by you. Everyone knows that our Baocheng Li family is looking for a live-in son-in-law! But what about her? She chose someone we don't know."

“As long as the child likes it, that’s fine. I will talk to her nicely,” said Li’s mother. Then she walked into Li Mei’s room and the two of them started talking in private.

Among them, Li Mei told her mother Liu Guangqi that she was willing to follow her family to defend the city.

Li's mother asked, "Does he want it and his family want it?"

Li Mei said that Liu Guangqi was not the only son in the family, he had two younger brothers, and his father respected him very much after knowing that his family was a leader.
