Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Bang Geng was dumbfounded.

I thought that when Yi Zhonghai saw that he still had two boxes of parts to send to the warehouse, he would definitely wave his hand and pay someone to help deliver them.

After all, it only cost him a dime to deliver the two boxes of parts.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai actually planned to do it himself and help him move the remaining two boxes of materials.

Although he was very reluctant, he had no choice but to nod and compromise because he could not leave work until the task was completed.

More than half an hour later, the two men arrived at the cafeteria with exhausted faces.

Just like yesterday, I didn't get any good dishes. I ate a half-full stick of meat with some soup and couldn't eat any more.

Bang Geng didn't dare to slack off at work any more in the afternoon.

But because he was hungry, he worked hard for an entire afternoon but still failed to complete his work tasks.

With the help of Yi Zhonghai, the last box of parts was delivered to the warehouse.

Finally, the two of them dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard again, and sat on the chairs and didn't want to get up.

Seeing that there was no meat on the table today, Bang Geng immediately refused to eat: "Mom..."

"Why are there no meat dishes today..."

"Do you know how tired I am today as a porter in the workshop? I didn't have enough lunch, and my stomach is already empty. You just gave me boiled cabbage..."

Seeing Bang Geng's exhausted face, Qin Huairu quickly comforted him: "Bang Geng..."

"Although there is no meat in today's dish, it is rich in oil and water..."

“It must be delicious…”

"I just had meat last night..."

"We agreed before that we would eat meat once every three days..."

"The day after tomorrow, Mom will definitely buy half a pound of meat and stew it for you."

Banggeng didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Yi Zhonghai. After all, Yi Zhonghai was his stepfather and master, and his future depended entirely on Yi Zhonghai.

If you piss off Yi Zhonghai, your future may be ruined.

But Qin Huairu is his biological mother, and Jia Zhang is his biological grandmother. The two of them have spoiled him since he was a child, so it is normal for him to get angry with them.

He threw his chopsticks on the table and shouted in dissatisfaction: "What's the use of just oil and water?"

"I want to eat meat?"

"Do you know how tiring it is to be a porter in a workshop?"

"I get off work late at noon and don't even have enough food. When I get home at night, I can only eat boiled cabbage. The salary is so little. What's the point of working in this job?"

After listening to Bang Geng's complaints, Qin Huairu immediately turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai and asked in confusion, "Old Yi..."

"Didn't I tell you to take an apprentice from among the apprentices and have him help Bang Geng move things?"

"Why is Banggeng so tired after a day?"

“I didn’t even have enough for lunch.”

“If one apprentice is not enough, you can take two more apprentices in the workshop.”

"One apprentice can help Bang Geng move one box of materials. Two or three apprentices can help him move two or three boxes. Bang Geng will definitely be able to complete the task on time and go to the cafeteria to eat on time after get off work."

When it comes to the matter of accepting a disciple, Yi Zhonghai becomes furious, even if that person is Qin Huairu.

Facing Qin Huairu's unresponsive gaze, he said indignantly, "Do you think I don't want to accept a disciple to help Bang Geng?"

"The key is that people are unwilling to take me, Yi Zhonghai, as their master."

"Although I am only a third-level fitter, my skills are definitely at the eighth-level."

"As a result, they said that I made mistakes in the steel mill and had a bad character. They would rather learn from a level 5 fitter than from me, a former level 8 fitter." Bang Geng was also a person who liked to watch the fun and said, "Some apprentices also said that my stepfather liked to hide things when teaching his apprentices and didn't teach them real skills..."

"If you learn benchwork skills from your stepfather, you can only become a third-level benchworker at best. No one wants to be your apprentice."

Seeing Qin Huairu's face darken instantly, Yi Zhonghai's face also became more and more solemn. Bang Geng changed the subject and continued, "But my stepfather didn't ignore me."

"He paid someone to help me move the boxes..."

"I paid five cents a box, and had someone carry six boxes for me, leaving me with fourteen boxes."

"If it weren't for the thirty cents from my stepfather, I might still be working overtime at the steel mill moving parts into the warehouse."

Hearing Banggeng saying good things about him, Yi Zhonghai's face looked much better and he immediately said to Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru..."

"Now the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, and my income is getting smaller..."

"In order to save more money for retirement, I can't pay for someone to help Bang Geng alone. After all, you are Bang Geng's biological mother, and Bang Geng is the grandson of the Jia family."

"You pay three dollars from your own pocket money, and I'll pay the remaining five dollars..."

"Anyway, Bang Geng doesn't work as a porter every month... He only gets a turn every three months, so you only need to pay four times a year."

Qin Huairu didn't want to pay the money, but Banggeng was sitting next to her. As his biological mother, if she was unwilling to pay this little money, the relationship between mother and son would definitely be affected.

After a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay..."

"For the sake of the good jokes... I'll pay these three dollars."

At this moment, Jia Zhang on the side suddenly spoke up: "Old Yi..."

"You were too nice to that bitch Aunt Zhang. You shouldn't have given her so much money when you divorced."

"Don't you have a grudge against that beast Wang Dong in the front yard?"

"This bitch is so good, she just divorced you and ran to the front yard to curry favor with Wang Dong."

"You gave her so much money when you divorced. This woman is so ungrateful."

Hearing that his ex-wife was getting closer and closer to Wang Dong, her enemy, and even ran to the front yard to curry favor with him, Yi Zhonghai felt particularly unhappy and felt that this was a betrayal of himself.

Even if the two of them divorced, she should stand on his side because of their past relationship.

But I can only be angry.

Now that they are divorced, I can't do anything about it emotionally or logically.

Jia Zhang clearly saw that Yi Zhonghai's brows were furrowed, and she also realized that he was in a very bad mood, but he had no intention of stopping.

The reason for doing this is to completely alienate Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Zhang, making them enemies with no intention of ever reconciling.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai can be tied to the Jia family forever.

The Jia family sucked Yi Zhonghai's blood, and Yi Zhonghai used the Jia family for his retirement.

He continued with a gesture to irritate Yi Zhonghai: "Do you know where this bitch went to work?"

"You won't believe it when I tell you."

"This bitch actually entered the steel mill."

"I used the money Lao Yi gave me to buy a job as a kitchen helper in a steel mill and worked as an apprentice in the kitchen."

"I heard that Wang Dong was the one who introduced her to this. She gets 18 yuan a month, exactly the same as Bang Geng, and will be able to become a regular employee in a year."

"Why didn't Wang Dong help other people, but chose to help that bitch in the backyard..."

"That's a formal work position... a position that can be passed down to future generations." (End of this chapter)
