Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 1244 People who follow the rules and those who make the rules
At noon that day, Yang Jun had lunch at home.

This was the first reunion dinner Yang Jun had with his family after twenty years. The meal seemed particularly delicious. Eating at the same table with his parents, the atmosphere seemed to make him find the warm feeling he had been away from for a long time.

Sweet and warm.

His mother Gao Mingyue also did her best to prepare a table of delicious dishes, all of which were his favorites. It was not that Gao Mingyue knew what he liked to eat, but that Yang Jun was already used to her cooking in his previous life, and now the food tasted especially delicious.

After lunch, Yang Jun chatted with them for a while and then left.

He still has several stations to patrol and cannot stay in one place for too long. Besides, his identity does not allow him to stay in one place for a long time to avoid security problems. The higher a person's status, the more afraid of death he is. Yang Jun is like this. It's not that he is particularly afraid of death, but he is mainly unwilling to lose everything he has obtained.

Anyway, safety is everything.

In the next few days, Yang Jun inspected several places again.

It was not until half a month later that Yang Jun returned to Yanjing.

After returning to Yanjing, I went to the unit for another ten days to deal with the backlog of work. After a few days of busy work, I finally had some free time.

It is now October, the children have started school, and the weather has become cooler, so Yang Jun moved his fishing spot from the shore to Diaoyutai.

That day, as soon as he threw the fishing rod into the pond, Yi Qiu Shui turned white.

"Old Yang, our in-laws are here." Yi Qiu Shui said.

Hearing this, Yang Jun looked back and then stood up.

"Oh, the in-laws are here."

"Great leader."

Bai Qi was still the same as before. Whenever he saw Yang Jun, he would bow, nod and smile. The two were always in an unequal position.

Yang Jun waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Don't call me Big Boss anymore, call me Old Yang."

"Okay, Lao Yang."

It is estimated that Bai Qi had wanted to change his words a long time ago, but due to Yang Jun's prestige, it was difficult to do so for the time being. This time Yang Jun mentioned it in person, so he simply agreed.

Yang Jun didn't care about these things. He would feel uncomfortable if his in-laws always called him "big boss".

Yi Qiu Shui picked up the teapot on the low table and poured them a cup of tea.

"My dear relatives, have some tea."

"Thank you, my dear relatives." Bai Qi took the tea and thanked him repeatedly.

"Old Yang, my in-laws are here today mainly to discuss the two children."

Yi Qiushui said to Yang Jun: "Bai He is pregnant now, and my in-laws want to discuss with you what to do with the two children."

Some time ago, Yi Qiu Shui took his whole family on an outing, and Yang Chengdao and Bai He also went along. The two little guys tasted the forbidden fruit when the adults were not paying attention, and now someone has died. Bai He's father, Bai Qi, came to him specifically to discuss the matter of the two children.

"Hey."

Yang Jun got a headache when he heard this.

Whenever he thought of this, Yang Jun's hands began to tremble and he wanted to beat Yang Chengdao to death.

Why does this troublesome child always cause him trouble?

If they don't have this child, it will cause great harm to Bai He's body, and she may not be able to have one in the future. If they want to have this child, they are still high school students and will have to take the college entrance examination next year, which is obviously unrealistic. Even though Yang Jun is knowledgeable and steady, he still has a headache when encountering such a thing.

"Old White, what do you think?"

Yang Jun habitually asks others for their opinions.

This is a habit he has developed over the years. He never expresses his attitude first. He always asks for the opinions of his subordinates first, and then expresses his own opinions. Of course, he also does this when he encounters those troublesome problems.

Bai Qi obviously had no experience in the workplace and didn't know the conversation skills here, but he still expressed his opinion.

"Old Yang, my opinion is that we should keep this child."

He says whatever he has.

On the one hand, it was out of consideration for his daughter's health, and on the other hand, it was out of consideration for stabilizing the relationship between the two families. Once Bai He gave birth to the child, it would become an fait accompli. In that case, she would be the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Yang family.

"What about the children going to school?" Yang Jun raised another question.

He does not solve problems, he is only responsible for raising them. All problems are solved by others. This has been the thinking habit of the Chinese people in high positions for thousands of years.

"Just continue to go to school if you have to. If you really can't do it, take a year off. It won't be too late to go back to school after you have the baby."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun glanced at him.

Bai Qi is obviously not a good problem solver. If he had such a person under his command, he would have slapped him in the face long ago. He originally wanted you to solve the problem, but you kicked the problem back to him. People who don't help their superiors solve problems will not be welcomed no matter where they go. People like Bai Qi are most suitable for tightening screws.

Yang Jun took a sip of tea calmly, then put down the cup and asked again.

"If she goes to school, have you ever thought about how Bai He will go to school with a big belly? Can a child like her bear that kind of gaze?"

"If I take a leave of absence, will I be able to continue to study after giving birth?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was speechless for a moment.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but he just hasn't come up with a proper solution.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work, let her drop out of school and concentrate on raising the children at home. After all, a high school diploma is not low."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun and Yi Qiu Shui looked at each other, and the couple couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts.

In the eyes of outsiders, today's high school students do have a high level of education and can be considered highly educated. However, in the eyes of the Yang family, a high school degree is obviously not enough. Apart from anything else, Yang Jun is just a high school student and Yi Qiu Shui is still a college student. It is impossible for each generation to be worse than the previous one. They will never agree to this.

They obviously disagreed with Bai Qi's simple and crude method. They must think of an appropriate way to solve the problem, and cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. The idea of ​​either taking the child to school or taking care of the child at home is obviously not feasible.

A person's position determines his or her thinking. Ordinary people like Bai Qi obviously cannot think of a more appropriate solution.

Seeing Yang Jun smoking and not talking, Yi Qiushui said,
"My dear relatives, this is not a good way to deal with it. We still need to think of a foolproof plan."

Bai Qi: "Besides these two methods, do you have any better ideas?"

When Yi Qiu Shui heard this, she understood that Bai Qi was testing her on purpose to see if she could come up with a better idea.

Yi Qiu Shui was very upset when she met such a person, and she was not angry at all.

Just like when a poor person meets a rich person, he can't help but compare himself to see if the other person is as smart as himself and why he can make money but I can't.

At this moment, Bai Qi had this thought.

"There is a way, but it's not so direct and simple."

"Oh, I'd love to hear the details."

When Bai Qi heard this, he sat up straight.

Seeing this, Yi Qiu Shui became more certain of what he was thinking. His in-laws just wanted to test his thoughts.

"Well, it's definitely not enough for my Yang family's daughter-in-law to have only a high school education. At the very least, it can't be lower than an old woman like me. Besides, if the Yang family has such a huge business, how can it help to achieve enlightenment in the future without the corresponding knowledge and experience?"

Bai Qi listened and nodded repeatedly.

Only then did I realize how superficial my thinking was. I thought that being a high school student was considered a high level of education, but I didn't expect that it was not good enough in the eyes of the Yang family.

Without waiting for him to ask further questions, Yi Qiushui continued, "First of all, let me make my position clear. I also agree to have this child."

"But Bai He cannot continue to go to school. Your Bai family can afford to lose face, but my Yang family cannot afford to lose this person."

"So... that means I'm taking a leave of absence from school?" Bai Qi asked doubtfully.

"You don't have to take a leave of absence. You can continue taking the college entrance examination next summer."

Yi Qiushui glanced at Yang Jun, and seeing that he had no objection, she expressed her thoughts. "Let Bai He stay at home to take care of the baby. We will hire a special teacher to help her with her homework. By the time of the college entrance examination next summer, the baby will be several months old, so it won't affect her."

"If that happens, I won't be able to keep up with the studies and won't be able to get into university," Bai Qi said worriedly.

Bai He's grades are quite good, and she is among the top five in her grade at school. Even if she hangs out with Yang Chengdao, her grades are still as solid as an old dog. This is also the reason why Bai Qi lets her child take a leave of absence from school. With her daughter's grades, she will have no worries about not being able to get into university.

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, the thinking of the lower class people has become rigid. How could people at their level possibly do things according to the rules set by others?

They are rule-makers, not rule-followers, and rules don't work for them.

"My dear, let me tell you this. Even if my child doesn't have to take the college entrance examination, I can still send him to the best university. Do you believe it?"

When Bai Qi heard this, he relaxed for a moment, then opened his mouth in surprise.

It took me a while to react.

"I believe."

At this moment, he realized the gap between the two families. They were indeed not from the same class and had different ways of thinking. Ordinary people like him would only do things according to the rules set by others, while people at the level of the Yang family were not bound by the rules at all and did things outside of them.

This is the gap.

Now he no longer dared to look down on Yi Qiu Shui.

Seeing that Bai Qi was intimidated by him, Yi Qiu Shui smiled contemptuously in his heart.

However, out of respect, she did not show it.

"I think we should do this."

At this time, Yang Jun, who had been silent, spoke.

He is a superior, he does not need to have strong abilities, he just needs coordination and leadership skills. Problems are not scary, because the people below will solve them for him, and he only needs to make the final decision.

Although there were not many people attending the meeting today, Yi Qiu Shui did not disappoint him in the end.

"But the two children are not young anymore, and it's not a good idea to keep going like this."

After a slight pause, Yang Jun continued, "Let's find some time to let the two children get the certificates."

"That……"

Bai Qi was about to say that his daughter was old enough, but Yang Chengdao was not. He swallowed the words back as soon as they came to his mouth. He suddenly remembered that for the Yang family, age was not a problem at all.

He felt annoyed for a moment and thought it was really embarrassing.

"Old Bai, do you have any other opinions?" Yang Jun asked.

What he hates most is when others express different opinions when he is making a final decision.

If Bai Qi was his subordinate, he would definitely slap him in the face. Even if he didn't slap him, he would make him sit on the bench.

"No, let's do it this way." Bai Qi said quickly.

He was simply afraid of a big leader like Yang Jun. He didn't know why he was afraid and didn't think too deeply about it, so he just said whatever he thought.

Of course, if he wasn’t Yang Jun’s relative, he probably wouldn’t have survived three episodes.

At this time, Yang Jun wanted to end the conversation, so he picked up the teacup.

He held it in his hand but didn't drink the water.

Yi Qiu Shui, who was standing by, saw this and knew that Yang Jun meant to serve tea to the guest.

She glanced at Yang Jun secretly and rolled her eyes.

Bai Qi is just an ordinary employee, how could he understand this? Aren't you just talking to a cow by doing this?

Of course, she couldn't let Yang Jun lose face. Yang Jun's face was her face, and she had to protect it for him.

"My dear relatives, the matter has been resolved. How about staying and having lunch together?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi relaxed for a moment and looked up at the sun. He had come here after breakfast, so it was only a little after nine o'clock, so it was still early for lunch.

However, he was not a stupid man and he immediately understood that Yi Qiu Shui wanted to see the guest off.

"Oh, no, I have to go back to work. I just took half a day off today."

After that, he said to Yang Jun: "Boss...Boss, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Well, slow down on the road."

Yang Jun said calmly.

Yi Qiu Shui personally saw him out.

After a while, Yi Qiu Shui came back.

"Hey."

Yi Qiu Shui sighed and sat on the small stool next to him without saying a word.

Yang Jun waited for a while, but she didn't speak, so he asked, "Why are you sighing?"

When Yi Qiu Shui heard this, he immediately got furious.

He turned around and said to Yang Jun, "You said we are also well-known figures, how come we have such an ignorant relative?"

"It was you who chose it." Yang Jun.

"you……"

Yi Qiu Shui was speechless, but she still acted like a woman and pinched Yang Jun.

Yang Jun frowned, then said: "It's not too late to regret now."

"I do not regret."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qiu Shui became unwilling.

"Bai Qi is Bai Qi, and his daughter is his daughter. The two cannot be compared. I like Bai He as my daughter-in-law. Besides, my son will not agree."

Hearing this, Yang Jun spread his hands and said, "Isn't that enough?"

"But, Bai Qi...ah, let's not talk about it. I get angry when I mention him. Didn't you see it just now? He wanted to test me? It really pissed me off." Yi Qiu Shui.

"hehe."

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this.

"If you challenge him, you will lose."

"Yes, I shouldn't have argued with him, let alone been angry."

Yi Qiu Shui sat up straight, took a long breath, and calmed his excited mood.

Seeing her like this, Yang Jun found it funny, but he didn't want to be strangled.

"No matter what, he is our relative, I think it is my duty to take care of him."

Yi Qiushui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Yes, promoting him can also be regarded as giving our son face."

"Well, who says it isn't?"

After saying that, Yang Jun snorted, "This brat always asks his dad to clean up his mess. When he comes back from school tonight, I'll beat him to death."
