Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

I spent the whole afternoon playing in Shichahai with Chen Xi, and then had dinner at Chen Xi's house in the evening.

Li Polu's mother-in-law was really cruel. She gave Chen Qiu all his quota of cigarettes and alcohol. Li Polu also took two taels of black tea.

I just wonder if Chen Qiu will faint in the toilet from crying when he returns home and finds that all his belongings are gone, and then rush to the steel mill to fight him.

Sunday was the last day off granted to Li Polu by the steel mill, and it was also the day when all the workers had a rest.

What’s more interesting is that there was no so-called weekend in this era, only one day off, Sunday.

Li Polu also officially took off the sling on his neck. After all, he had been wearing it for so long since returning to Sijiu City, and the injury should have healed almost completely.

Over in the courtyard, at Li Polu's request, a room had already been prepared, so moving in would not be a problem.

Li Bolu, who has made all the necessary preparations, is about to start working.

This day is the day of preparation for moving, and such a scene is naturally inseparable from the high-end version of IU Chen Xi.

However, Chen Qiu and Zhang Xiao were both at work today, so Chen Xi had to ride his bicycle to the military compound by himself.

In fact, Li Polu didn’t have many things. The house was big, but most of the things were already there, so strictly speaking, they were not his.

Li Polu was not interested in these things. He simply packed up a few old clothes and the tablets in the side room, locked the door, and handed the key to the person who would take over the house.

Carrying a simple package, he took Chen Xi and went straight to the courtyard.

As for why there aren't many things here in the military park, that's a more interesting question.

Since his parents died, Li Bolu has been living in Wang He's house in the Ministry of Industry compound most of the time. How many things can there be in a military compound?

As for what to do with his uncle Wang's things, of course, the lovely and respectable uncle Wang helped to take them over. After all, he was a man equipped with a car.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Bugui came over.

"Chief Li, are you ready to move in?"

Li Polu smiled and replied, "Yes, the leave approved by the factory has expired. I have to go to work tomorrow, so it will be more convenient to move here."

"That's true." Yan Bugui said hesitantly.

Li Polu was also a little surprised. This was not like Yan Laoxi's character.

How can the three people who have enough food and clothing but suffer from poverty if they fail to plan well not know how to speak?

"Uncle, you're not asking me if I want to move in, are you? Tell me, what's the matter."

Yan Bugui was indeed a little embarrassed. It was true that he was calculating, but he had a clear understanding of himself and his family.

But he really couldn't bear not to ask about this matter.

Finally, he made up his mind and asked, "Hey, Chief Li, I just want to ask, who is this girl? How about introducing her to Uncle San?"

He had heard that Li Polu had just been discharged from the army. He had only been back for a few days. He definitely didn't believe that this beautiful girl was Li Polu's girlfriend. So he wanted to ask if he could ask what the relationship between this girl and Li Polu was, and whether he had a boyfriend.

Li Polu understood instantly. This old man had a crush on Chen Xi. Of course, it wasn't Yan Bugui himself who had this thought. It was his second son Yan Jiefang. He was already 23 or 24 years old this year, and because he didn't have a job, he still hadn't found a partner.

In fact, it was true. But Yan Bugui felt a little guilty because the girl's clothes and temperament were not like those of an ordinary girl. But he still asked her with the mentality of trying his luck. What if the girl just happened to be single and fell in love with the man from their family?

"Um, what are you talking about? This is my uncle's sister, her name is Chen Xi. Xiao Xi, say hello to the third uncle."

"Hello, Third Uncle." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Yan Bugui asked hurriedly: "Um, Miss Chen Xi. How old are you this year? Do you have a partner? Where do you work?"

Chen Xi had never seen such a situation before. Facing Yan Bugui's three fatal questions, she didn't know which question to start answering. She could only quietly hide beside Li Polu and quietly poke his waist, signaling Li Polu to help her answer.

Li Polu smiled and said, "Xiaoxi is 19 years old this year. Well... she doesn't have a partner for now. She doesn't have a job and is still studying in medical school."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed. This girl is great! She is 19 years old. Young, pretty, and single. She is still studying in medical school and will have a job when she graduates.

And judging from her clothes, her family must be quite rich. It would be great if I could marry Jiefang, so that I could help Jiefang with his job.

Even her family doesn't have to solve the problem, Section Chief Li can help solve it. After all, she is his sister.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He had completely forgotten his initial understanding of his family situation and entered a stage of pure fantasy.

"Hey, Uncle San, what are you laughing at?"

A voice suddenly brought Yan Bugui back to reality.

"How can you talk like that, Xu Damao? What I am happy about is none of your business." He said unhappily. Turning around, he saw that Li Polu and Chen Xi had already disappeared.

"Brother, is there something wrong with that third uncle's brain?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Just now, he just said a few words and then he started grinning. I suspect he may have some mental problems."

Li Polu smiled and said, "What is Doctor Chen's diagnosis?"

Chen Xi said as a matter of course: "I just asked you because I don't know."

"In fact, your judgment is quite accurate. He does have some problems with his brain. He has an extremely rare disease."

When it comes to professional knowledge, Chen Xi gets excited and asks hurriedly: "What's the disease? Tell me quickly."

Li Polu pretended to be profound and said, "This disease is difficult to explain. I named it paranoid mental disorder. The main reason is that the human brain's neural activity is abnormal. To be more specific, the signal transmission in his brain is abnormal, which leads to a distortion in his perception and interpretation of the real world."

Chen Xi looked at Li Polu blankly, then shook his head strangely: "I don't understand, but it seems like he's really amazing."

Li Polu gently tapped Chen Xi's forehead and said with a smile: "You went to medical school for nothing. I just talked about paranoia. Don't tell me you don't know."

Chen Xi suddenly realized and quickly explained: "Of course I know about paranoia, but this obviously does not meet the symptoms of paranoia."

"That's why I said you went to medical school for nothing. Based on my understanding of him, I guess he was just dreaming about having you as his daughter-in-law."

Chen Xi said that he had finally understood: "Brother, you are really mean. Others would call this a daydream at best, but you turned it into a mental illness. You are really good. But how do you know what he is thinking?"

"That's because you don't know Uncle San. You'll understand after you get to know him more. I tell you, everyone in this hospital is talented and speaks well. I like it here very much.

But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to get to know each other. Also, I'm not being mean. How can you be obsessed with someone else's wife just after introducing them to each other? That's just crazy."

When Chen Xi heard this, her face turned red: "Bah, who wants to be your wife? Shameless."
