Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Dongfang, you are too polite. Don't stand anymore. Let's take our seats." Liu Haizhong said as he let Li Dongfang take the main seat.

Under normal circumstances, Li Dongfang would not care where he sat, but today he sat in the main seat without any hesitation.

After listening to Sha Zhu's introduction on the road just now, Li Dongfang didn't like Liu Guangqi very much, and he also disliked his wife.

After sitting down, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt sat on Li Dongfang's left, and Liu Guangqi was originally sitting on the right, but he was squeezed out by his wife and sat there. This made Li Dongfang and Liu Haizhong frown slightly. For a moment, they couldn't figure out whether Guangqi's wife wanted to show her status in the family or had other purposes.

The others took their seats one by one, and Sha Zhu squeezed in between Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and sat down.

The youngest, Liu Guangfu, opened the bottle of Maotai brought by Li Dongfang, and the room was immediately filled with fragrance. Sha Zhu took a deep breath with a look of enjoyment on his face.

He poured wine for everyone, even the second aunt and Liu Guangqi's wife.

Liu Haizhong then raised his glass and said, "Guangqi has finally come back after so many years. Let's drink together and thank Dongfang for coming."

After saying this briefly, everyone clinked glasses together. Li Dongfang's alcohol tolerance was limited, so he originally wanted to just take a sip, but when he saw that Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi's wife had finished both, he had no choice but to drink it all in one gulp.

Li Dongfang never forgot that if he drank too much, something bad would happen, so he always controlled the amount of alcohol he drank.

The situation today seems to be getting out of control. Although he can refuse firmly, he has his eyes on Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, so he feels like he has to give them some face.

After three glasses of wine, Liu Haizhong went straight to Li Dongfang and said to him, "Dongfang, it's the Second Master who is confused. The matter of Jia Zhang..."

Li Dongfang interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, saying, "Second Uncle, if I were to argue with you, I would have done it a long time ago. Let's talk it over today and let this matter be over."

Liu Haizhong was immediately delighted. He clinked his wine glass with Li Dongfang's and drank it first. What could Li Dongfang do? He had no choice but to drink it.

As soon as he put down his glass, he saw Liu Haizhong pouring wine for Li Dongfang himself. Li Dongfang took a deep breath. Is this coming again? Is it not over yet?

He turned his head to look at Sha Zhu who was blocking the wine, but saw that Sha Zhu was drinking enthusiastically with the three brothers of the Liu family and had long forgotten about blocking the wine for Li Dongfang.

It was Liu Guangqi's wife who advised, "Dad, please slow down. Let Director Li take a break and eat some food." As she said that, she put a piece of chicken in Li Dongfang's bowl.

Li Dongfang felt that Liu Guangqi's wife was not so unpleasant anymore.

"Director Li, please eat some chicken."

Li Dongfang had just swallowed the wine in his mouth with difficulty, and when he heard her words, he choked.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem~~Sister-in-law, just call me Dongfang. Don't be so polite. I can do it myself."

In fact, Li Dongfang really wanted to curse, you are the one who eats chicken, your whole family eats chicken!

However, people nowadays obviously don’t understand this joke, but Li Dongfang didn’t intend to point it out and was ready to return it to her in a while.

Seeing this, Liu Guangqi's wife naturally reached out and patted Li Dongfang on the back, and said with concern: "Dongfang, are you okay? If not, just drink slowly."

Liu Haizhong also quickly said: "Yes, it's all my fault, Dongfang, let's drink slowly, drink slowly."

But Sha Zhu beside him moved his ears, as if he heard something extraordinary. He pushed away Liu Guangfu's wine glass and said, "Who said Dongfang is not good? Dongfang is very good, you don't know..."

When he saw Li Dongfang's glare, he sobered up and quickly changed his words: "Dongfang doesn't drink easily, but he is very powerful. This is just the beginning. This little bit of wine is not enough for him to drink."

Although Sha Zhu tried to brag for Li Dongfang, this only made Li Dongfang even angrier. "You're just a liar, but what do you mean by bragging about my drinking ability? Do you want to get me drunk or do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

Liu Guangqi's wife was obviously very familiar with such scenes. She quickly picked up another piece of mutton for Li Dongfang and said, "No matter how much you drink, you have to eat vegetables. Otherwise, it will be bad for your stomach."

Li Dongfang coughed a few more times, and after catching his breath, he thanked her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother me. I can do it myself."

"Okay, eat some food first. Dongfang, don't call me sister-in-law anymore. My name is Song Yulian, you can just call me Yulian."

Li Dongfang felt that what he said was a little wrong. Calling you sister-in-law should be more appropriate than using your name. What are you doing?

But he still responded, "Okay, Sister Yulian, we are all family, don't be so polite."

Li Dongfang turned his head and glanced at Liu Guangqi. Why is your wife like this? Why don't you do anything about it?

Perhaps sensing Li Dongfang's gaze on him, Liu Guangqi said with a smile, "Don't look at me! If you want to drink, go find my wife. I can't drink as much as she can."

Li Dongfang suddenly wanted to scratch his head. What's the connection? I just want to drink? And why are you so used to it? Do you have any special fetish? It's not normal for your wife to say such things to other men.

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly, but he was so partial to his eldest son, so he didn't blame him. He picked up the wine glass again and said, "Dongfang, let's go with one more person. From now on, the second uncle will definitely protect your authority in the courtyard."

Li Dongfang also picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Liu Haizhong, and no longer thought about this somewhat strange couple.

"Second uncle, Guangtian and Guangfu have been idle at home for quite some time, and they are not young anymore. What are your plans for them?" Li Dongfang asked casually while eating.

As soon as Liu Haizhong was mentioned, he seemed to understand Li Dongfang's idea instantly, and he said tentatively: "I have also been looking for connections everywhere to get them stable jobs, but I have never succeeded. This is the last batch of recruitment for our factory, and I was thinking of letting them try, but I don't know if these two bastards can do it."

When they heard about their brothers' work, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stopped drinking with Sha Zhu and looked at Liu Haizhong and Li Dongfang eagerly.

Li Dongfang smiled slightly and said, "Second Uncle, you are too unconfident. I think Guangtian and Guangfu are good and will definitely succeed."

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers and Liu Haizhong and his wife were all delighted. Liu Guangtian stood up, holding the wine glass and said to Li Dongfang: "Brother Dongfang, I won't say anything more. It's all in the wine."

Liu Guangfu also stood up and said, "Brother Dongfang, from now on we will attack wherever you point."

Li Dongfang stretched out his hand and motioned them to sit down, saying, "Okay, sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."
