The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 101 Fan Jin wins the exam
After get off work, Liu Hua went to see Liu Feifei and said, "Wife, I'm about to start working on a technical project. I may be busy for a few days and won't have time to come see you."

Liu Feifei shyly slapped Liu Hua a few times: "Nonsense, who is your wife?"

"You." Liu Hua said without disguising, "If you were not old enough, I would marry you right now. It's a pity that I can't see you these days."

"Work is important." Liu Feifei straightened Liu Hua's collar and said, "Isn't there a line in a poem that goes, 'If love is long-lasting, why would it matter if we were together day and night?'"

Liu Hua held the pair of boneless little hands and said with a smile: "When I finish my work this time, I will go to meet my father-in-law, okay?"

"Ah."

At the doorstep of Liu Feifei's house, when no one was around, Liu Hua sneaked a kiss on her cherry lips, making Liu Feifei so embarrassed that she turned around and ran home without stopping for a moment.

Liu Hua has been busy with his love life these days and has not paid much attention to what is happening in the yard. When he returned home today, he felt that the yard seemed very lively.

Liu Hua pushed his bicycle into the yard. He came back to check the progress of the renovation. As soon as he entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at him in amazement. As he walked forward, the eyes followed him.

"What's going on?" Liu Hua raised his arms and looked at himself from head to toe. "Why are you all looking at me? I've lived here for a year, are you still interested?"

Yan Jiecheng said arrogantly: "Hua Zi, from today on, I am also a worker in the steel mill."

It turned out that the steel rolling mill announced the results today and posted the list of admitted candidates on big red paper at the factory gate. Yan Jiecheng went to see the list and it is said that he was as crazy as Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination. He only came to his senses after being pinched twice by Liu Guangtian.

"Yes, that's right." Liu Hua said indifferently, "Could it be that you have inherited the family tradition of the second uncle and are planning to set up two tables in the yard to celebrate?"

Yan Jiecheng is a cowardly and stingy guy. His father at least has a fair character and good eloquence, but this guy has no advantages at all.

Someone started to make a noise, "Yes, Yan Jiecheng, your family has two working people now, right? You should set up two tables to celebrate and let everyone else share in the glory."

In that era, a dual-income family was such an enviable term, which meant that the family would have no worries about food and clothing and would still have some extra money.

But the Yan family has such a tradition that Yan Jiecheng stammered, "How can our family have extra money to treat us? We are treating our uncle, and our uncle's family has four employees."

When Yan Fugui heard this, he wanted to beat his stupid son to death. Liu Haizhong's family had four employees, including a father and son, plus an older daughter-in-law.

However, the eldest son ran away with his wife on their wedding night and never returned home again. He only sent a greeting letter with some money in it to show his filial piety to Liu Haizhong during the holidays.

Therefore, the eldest son and daughter-in-law are the eternal pain in Liu Haizhong's heart. When his eldest son was admitted to a technical secondary school, Liu Haizhong would talk about Liu Guangqi every other sentence.

Since he ran away, Liu Haizhong never mentioned the name of his eldest son. Not only because he ran away, but also because the letter he left behind completely negated Liu Haizhong's life creed for many years. For Liu Haizhong, it meant that his son betrayed him and the entire Liu family.

When Liu Haizhong heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he was immediately furious, but that was not his son and he could not beat or scold him casually. He could only wave his sleeves, snorted heavily, and turned away.

But when he turned around, he saw Liu Guangtian standing behind him. This guy was standing there laughing foolishly, watching Yan Jiecheng's joke. Liu Haizhong was furious at the time, staring at Liu Guangtian and said fiercely: "Why are you laughing foolishly? Are you also watching your father's fun? Why don't you get out of here? Do you want me to set up two tables for you to celebrate?"

Liu Guangtian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was the end. He would be beaten if he went home. He walked home trembling. Within five minutes, the howling sounds that were very familiar to the people in the yard rang out.

Liu Hua sighed and shook his head. It seemed that he needed to explain the situation in the courtyard to his future wife and prepare her mentally. Otherwise, she would be scared when she heard the howling for the first time.

Yan Jiecheng was pissed at Liu Hua and went home angrily to drink boiled water. Yan Fugui said distressedly, "Why did you drink so much water? If you feel hot, go outside and cool down. Your mother uses charcoal to boil boiled water."

Thanks to the country's publicity in recent years, people know that drinking raw water can easily cause illness, so families with a little more financial resources boil water and then let it cool. Although Yan Fugui knows that this is for the good of the body, he still can't help but feel distressed.

"What's so great about Liu Hua?" Yan Jiecheng said unconvincedly, "Now I've also joined the steel mill. In two years, I'll be more successful than him."

The second aunt, Yan Jiecheng's mother, echoed, "That's right, son. If you work hard, you can become a factory manager in the future."

Yan Fugui took a sip of water, as if tasting nectar, and then shook his head: "Jie Cheng, it's not that I look down on you, but you don't have that ability. When you get to the steel rolling mill, you must study hard and strive to get promoted as soon as possible."

"I just don't accept it."

Yan Fugui still shook his head: "Even if you are not convinced, don't show it, especially before you become a regular employee. You are just an apprentice, and Liu Hua can still fire you with just one word."

"He's just an engineer."

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "If you can become a technician in this life, I will feel that our Yan family's ancestors will be very proud. You are just an engineer. There are only two engineers in the entire steel rolling mill. Compared with them, you are nothing."

The second aunt couldn't bear it and advised: "Boss, don't always discourage your son's enthusiasm."

"I'm not trying to dampen his enthusiasm. People need to know what's right and what's wrong. He dares to compete with others without even knowing the truth. Without Liu Hua's contribution, would the steel mill have expanded? You got this job thanks to him. It was his idea to get into the factory."

Yan Fugui sighed: "People are not afraid of incompetence. People with no ability can survive if they are honest. What we are afraid of is that you are stupid and have no self-awareness."

Yan Jiecheng was criticized by his father as being useless, and the most important thing was that he had no way to refute it. He used the little self-knowledge he had to examine himself and found that he was indeed a useless guy as Yan Fugui said.

Yan Jiecheng could only hold a large jar and pour cold water continuously. Guo Degang said that eating pickles and drinking cold water could calm the heat in the heart. At Yan's house, they just drank cold water. Pickles were a luxury and the main meals had to be served by the root.

Liu Hua was much more comfortable than him. Since the weather turned hot, he used his points to exchange for gift packs of iced drinks and beer.

At this moment, he opened a glass bottle of Coke and drank it in gulps, feeling refreshed and happy.
