Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

That's the key reason why she was able to swallow her pride and ask Bang Geng, Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Jiefang for advice.

Qin Huairu had been ridiculed by Old Man Yan countless times just for learning to write.

They always laugh at her for not knowing such simple words.

But now, look again...

Did Yan Jiecheng earn as much at the factory as he did on his own?

They could only watch enviously as they served meals to their masters, the envy in their eyes plain to see.

When she first saw Yan Jiecheng in the large canteen.

When the other person looked at her with envious and jealous eyes, Qin Huairu felt immense satisfaction.

At that moment, she even felt a pleasure she had never experienced before.

And whenever this job brings me honor, satisfaction, and vanity.

Qin Huairu's gratitude towards Yang Jianguo would deepen even further.

Now, she doesn't want to, or even can't.

I heard anyone say a bad word about Yang Jianguo.

The feeling was as if one's spiritual idols, pillars, and everything else had been defiled.

Even if it's Granny Jia, it won't work!

After she finished speaking, she stood there staring at him without leaving.

Granny Jia, enraged, growled, "Fine, whatever you say. You, Qin Huairu, are really something now."

From now on, I'll treat him like an ancestor, and even put up a plaque for him, how about that?

"No need for a sign, just remember it in your heart," Qin Huairu said, turning and heading back to the main hall.

"Hey~" Granny Jia jumped up and down in anger.

What does that mean? Does he really expect me to treat him like an ancestor?

What a big face! Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?

"Uncle Liu, you're making me die young!" Yang Jianguo quickly helped the old man Liu up and made him sit on the cart.

Aunt Liu came over and helped her husband sit down, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Liu leaned back and laughed, "Jianguo, you can take this. I owe you so much."

Yang Jianguo glanced at his troubled wife and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, we're all family, so let's not be so formal. That auntie still takes care of Yingzi every day!"

"If you do this, do I have to kowtow to my aunt twice?"

Before the words had even faded, Aunt Liu quickly waved her hand and said, "You can't do that. If you do that, I'll kowtow to you."

Seeing how serious she was, Yang Jianguo was truly at his wit's end.

Early in the morning, Aunt Liu pushed Uncle Liu in a wheelchair.

Upon entering the house, Da Liu lay down on the cart and gave him a deep bow.

This made Yang Jianguo feel extremely uncomfortable. What was going on?

"Alright, let's not talk about that. If you're not busy tonight, come over for dinner. I'll have your aunt cook two nice dishes."

Hearing what Da Liu said, Yang Jianguo nodded readily: "Okay, then I'll bring...mouth tonight."

"Haha, I just want you to bring only your...mouth." Big Liu laughed heartily.

When the two returned, Yang Jianguo looked at his wife and sighed, "This whole mess has made me, as a junior, so embarrassed."

Yingzi smiled and stepped forward, looking at him and saying, "You shouldn't be so polite."

"If you have to endure something, then endure it. If you don't, people will always feel that they owe you too much. If you keep thinking about it, it will only make things worse."

"Oh, so it's my fault after all?" Yang Jianguo chuckled.

Yingzi stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek: "I'm a man, I don't care about such trivial things."

Alright, I've got it!

Yang Jianguo looked completely innocent. He was determined to be eaten by Yingzi for the rest of his life.

hey~

Thinking about it, why am I still so happy?

Early in the morning, the Liu family started preparing.

Aunt Liu took Da Juan out to buy groceries, and when they came back, they cooked the meat at home...

Even at midday, the aroma of her stewed meat filled the courtyard.

Out of curiosity, Aunt Liu asked while she was emptying the sewage, "Is there some good news?"

"It's nothing. Jianguo's coming over for dinner tonight, so I have to cook some meat," Aunt Liu replied with a smile, and then went back inside.

An older woman sat at the doorway, her mind beginning to ponder.

Should I also buy some things and invite Yang Jianguo and his wife over for a nice meal?

But then I thought, I should have a good meal.

It should cost at least seven or eight yuan, because there are so many people in her family!

It wouldn't be good to invite someone over and then kick all the children out.

Given the personalities of Jianguo and his wife, if they really did that... they definitely wouldn't be able to stomach it.

So, including their family of six.

Seven or eight yuan, that's a low estimate.

With so many people, just buying meat would cost more than two yuan.

With such a beautiful day and all kinds of vegetables available, you should order a few more.

If you include the alcohol, a decent bottle will cost at least two yuan...

"Forget it, forget it. It's more worthwhile to send him two fish when his dad catches one." Aunt Yi gave up the idea of ​​treating him.

Expensive, too expensive!

In the afternoon, with more than forty minutes left until lunchtime, Yang Jianguo brought Yingzi and arrived right on time.

"Uncle Liu, Auntie." As the two entered the house, Yang Jianguo placed the wine he was carrying on the table.

Upon seeing that he had brought alcohol, Da Liu said unhappily, "Didn't I say I was only bringing a... mouth?"

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said generously, "I just wanted to have a few more drinks with you, but I was afraid you didn't have enough wine."

Hearing this, Da Liu laughed and said, "Alright, let's drink until we drop tonight."

Yingzi, who was holding his hand, pretended to be unwilling and said, "That won't do, Uncle. If he really gets drunk, I won't be able to carry him back."

"Haha, let him sleep on the floor here." Big Liu pointed to the floor and laughed loudly.

Yingzi covered her mouth with the back of her hand and chuckled, "That works too."

Yang Jianguo glanced at her speechlessly and said, "Fine, I haven't spoiled my wife for nothing."

Yingzi gave him a playful glare and then turned to help at the stove: "Auntie, let me help you."

"No need, you should rest. Da Juan and Xiao Juan are both free, why do you need to help?" Aunt Liu helped her to a chair.

He pressed her down into the chair... and sat her down properly, then smiled and said, "You just relax today and wait to eat."

Yingzi glanced at Yang Jianguo triumphantly and said in a deliberately arrogant tone, "Alright, then I'm going to enjoy myself today."

"Yes, you can just sit back and enjoy your life," Aunt Liu exclaimed happily.

The dishes were prepared in advance, and then we started cooking them.

Twenty minutes later, six dishes were served... without any further orders.

In summer, there are more food options, and you can have a couple more plates on the table.

After Aunt Liu came over and sat down, Yang Jianguo raised his wine glass to face Aunt Liu.

"Uncle, let me offer you a toast first, wishing you all the best, good health and happiness."

There's nothing fancy about it, just genuine blessings.

May you live a good life and enjoy good health.

This is a tremendous good thing for ordinary people.

Da Liu cheerfully raised his glass: "Uncle, I appreciate your kind words. Our future days will definitely be good."

Raise your neck, tsk tsk~

One glass of wine, refreshing...bottoms up.

Chapter 187 A Step Back, Internal Tactics

There's more to the story behind why Liu Cixin insisted on thanking Yang Jianguo.

His cart shop, it's not like they said they wouldn't let him... run it anymore.

Da Liu said he would move it out, along with the place and its equipment.

They exchanged a total of 30 jin of grain coupons.

The man initially offered him twelve yuan, which tempted Da Liu.

Twelve yuan is enough for his family's food for a month.

But in the end, they listened to Yang Jianguo's advice, confiscated the goods, and chose to exchange them for grain coupons.

The job was just done, and the person was arrested that afternoon.

Good buddy!

What does this mean? It means someone is constantly watching their own shop.

Otherwise, how could the person have been arrested so soon after the handover?

What a coincidence!

So, when Aunt Liu heard about this from the neighbors, she came back and told her husband about it.

Da Liu immediately understood that they were being watched.

However, he was displaying a sign for a steel rolling mill.

Even if people want to move, they need a reason.

Just because it doesn't work for a while doesn't mean it will never work.

There was the change in wind direction, and Yang Jianguo's advice to him not to... continue, and then he was arrested that afternoon.

Before, I was clearly dancing on the edge of a knife.

If you're not careful, he might be the one who goes in.

Do you think Liu wouldn't be excited?

"Jianguo, you saved my life." Da Liu raised his glass, his eyes already darting around.

But she didn't ramble on; she kept thanking him.

Yang Jianguo said a few polite words and accepted it.

Just like Yingzi said, you're being too polite; the gratitude in my heart just can't be expressed...

Keeping it all bottled up inside only makes me feel suffocated…

Let him talk, and once he's done, it'll be over. Whether he remembers it or not is up to him.

Yang Jianguo's attitude has always been to do good deeds without expecting anything in return.

As long as you don't turn out to be an ingrate, it's fine.

Lower your expectations, and you'll naturally be less disappointed!

This meal left Da Liu completely drunk.
