Upon hearing that the other party was attending a training course organized by the steel rolling mill, Li Xiangqian abandoned any intention of staying for a free meal.

However, the young man suddenly had a bright idea and changed his purpose for coming. Since Tian Yezi worked at the steel rolling mill, why didn't he go there too?

"Uncle Fujun, I've come here to ask you for a favor."

Even without Li Xiangqian saying anything, Tian Fujun and his wife already knew what was going on, because they had received a telegram from Li Dengyun.

“I’ve heard about your situation from your dad! Since you can drive, which is a technical skill, I can find a way to get you transferred to our locomotive factory through my connections at the steel rolling mill.”

Tian Fujun knew his niece looked down on Li Xiangqian, but he owed Li Dengyun a favor. He figured he could help Li Dengyun's son get a job transfer now, and then he wouldn't owe the Li family anything anymore.

Li Xiangqian originally just wanted to get into Beijing, but now he doesn't want to go to the locomotive factory. Tian Yezi works at Hongxing Elementary School; he should go to the steel rolling mill!

Even after I joined the locomotive factory, I still couldn't see her, but it was different at the steel rolling mill in the same Dongcheng District!

Although Sun Shaoan apologized to Li Xiangqian and stated his formal withdrawal, the young man didn't believe Sun Shaoan's lies. He thought Sun Shaoan was deliberately stalling for time to mislead him. He believed he needed to use his connections to act quickly...

“Uncle Fujun, I don’t want to go to the locomotive factory. Could you arrange for me to work in the steel rolling mill? Baifuquan Farm is a subordinate unit of the steel rolling mill, so it would be natural for me to go to the main plant.”

Xu Aiyun could tell this kid was still up to no good! He even wanted to chase after her to the steel mill. "You're the one who wanted to deliver this yourself, don't blame the Tian family."

After hesitating for a moment, Tian Fujun said, "This...this will do too. Let me help you move around!"

Li Xiangqian knew that Tian Fujun owed his family a favor, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for it so confidently.

"Thank you, Uncle Fujun and Auntie. I'll go find my friend now. I won't bother you any longer today..."

The young man was determined not to stay for dinner, so the couple had no choice but to see him off at the gate.

"Xiangqian, go back and wait for my news!"

……

at noon

Lin Chen returned to the courtyard house from his uncle's house. For Lin Chen, the matter of Director Hao was just a matter of a word.

Zhou Zhennan's pleading wouldn't work, but Secretary Lin could handle it in no time. Besides, Lin Chen's main purpose in going was to get the courtyard...

The Prince Gong Mansion might be a bit of a hassle for others, but it was no problem for my uncle. Although he didn't say he would give it to me immediately, he still agreed to help me get it for the steel mill to use.

As for the conditions, naturally, Lin Chen must hand over five experimental heavy tanks within a month...

This is not difficult for Lin Chen; he could easily have fifty vehicles, let alone five.

"Closing the gates, prepare for the feast!"

When Yan Jiekuang saw that Uncle Lin had finally returned, he immediately closed the gate. Now they were just waiting for him!

At this moment, Chen Yanshi heard that Secretary Lin had returned, so he also came out of the Yi family's house. Everyone else in the courtyard was easy to appease, except for the old man Yi Zhonghai, who was the most resentful, after all, he was badly injured. His nose had been broken...

Fortunately, Chen Yanshi and Lao Yi were evenly matched, and Yi Zhonghai was still recovering from a serious injury.

He wouldn't leave because he disagreed with Chen Yanshi, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't even have some peace and quiet. He had no choice but to agree to forgo medical expenses, only asking the little monkey to treat him.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai watched Chen Yanshi leave, he cursed under his breath: "That little brat, he actually dared to reason with me. When I was trying to persuade him, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

After leaving, Chen Yanshi cursed Yi Zhonghai under his breath for being an old stubborn fool. "They've already held two matches! And you still want medical expenses? You're a coward if you lose. We all went out together, why aren't the others injured?"

……

The courtyard was filled with laughter. As for why they weren't sending some oily food to Old Yi and the others, it was mainly because they had no appetite! Besides, Lin Chen had instructed them not to eat anything too oily.

Anyway, Little Monkey and Qiangzi are going to treat everyone in a few days, so they shouldn't think about having a big feast for now!

They were all examined by Lin Chen this morning, and now they're all dizzy, nauseous, and dry heaving. It's no wonder they can't enjoy the feast; they can only make do with some light noodle soup.

Lin Chen had just sat down in the main room of the He family's house when Yan Bugui approached him.

"Brother Lin, Master Wang just sent word that he wants to see you. He's probably struggling and wants you to prescribe some medicine... After you left this morning, he also asked me and Lao Liu to sponsor thirty jin of strong liquor..."

Wang Baye wanted the people in the courtyard to help plead for leniency, so he discussed sponsoring wine with Liu Haizhong again that morning.

Lin Chen treated all the injuries in the hospital that morning, but he didn't take a look at Wang Baye. The old man probably couldn't stay in bed any longer! He's out of danger now, but he doesn't want to stay in bed forever.

"No rush, no rush, let's drink first. The Navy compound has paid so much for medical expenses. If we can get out of bed and walk now, people will say we're extorting them. It's best to stay in bed for now! By the way, I just heard people in the compound giving Lao Ba a new nickname! Who started it?"

When the topic of "Uncle Wang's" new nickname came up, the old guys burst into laughter.

"Who else could it be? It was Jia Zhangshi who called him that last night! Her name, 'Old Turtle,' didn't sound good, so she changed it to 'Stick Grandpa.' Now all the young people in the courtyard are calling Old Turtle 'Stick Grandpa'!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this. What the hell is this?! Isn't this just attacking someone's morale? They actually changed it to "Master Stick"...

What will we call it after the next total incision?

"As expected, it's Jia Zhangshi again. I knew it was her who came up with that nickname. If you manage to anger the Eighth Prince to death, the next meal will be a funeral feast!"

Everyone burst into laughter again...

backyard

Liao Yimei and Xiang Nanfang, along with a group of girlfriends, filled two tables. They didn't care about the food and drinks, but rather the atmosphere at the gathering.

"Yanzi, how did your run go this morning? What did Sister Huairu and the others say?"

Song Yanzi glanced in the direction of the Central Court and chuckled to herself, "Sister Bai Ling agreed! She said it wouldn't make a difference if we did it in a month, and we can do it together in May. There are no auspicious days in June, and it's right across the street anyway."

Qiao Simei and the others were all filled with envy after hearing this, especially Qin Jingru. She had followed her cousin to the city six years ago, and now they were all ahead of her in the queue. When would it be her turn? She wasn't any younger than them! And her brother-in-law liked her too…

"Okay! Let's go together, we're going to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber."

"Yes, yes, anyway, we have rooms in the courtyard across the street..."

Qin Jingru and the others got excited after a quick discussion. As for how they would cause trouble, they'd find out later.

Liao Yimei and Xiang Nanfang took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. After all, the custom of "teasing the newlyweds" had never existed before...

With He Xiulian, Tian Yezi, and Ding Qiunan not around, how could Song Yanzi possibly compete with these younger sisters?

"Shh, don't let the food delivery guy hear. Go ahead and cause trouble! I don't care, it's more fun with more people..."

At this moment, Liao Yimei smiled bitterly. She hadn't expected Song Yanzi to actually agree to their request.

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's not discuss this in the courtyard. Let's have the feast first and talk about it tonight..."
