I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

Because he wasted a few days buying New Year's goods, Yan Jiefang plans to spend the next few days before and after the New Year studying the textbooks his teacher had specially given him.

In the days leading up to the holiday, he had already finished reading two basic textbooks, "Introduction to Radio" and "Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications".

And successfully unlocked the skill of radio technology, but the data is still very low, only 12/100.

The next two volumes of "Radio Receiving Equipment" are the real focus.

This is an advanced textbook compiled by the Radio Receiving Equipment Teaching and Research Group of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

It is a textbook for undergraduates majoring in related fields.

Or perhaps it was used by top students from the North University of Technology for further studies.

Using a genius like Yan Jiefang as a self-study textbook in the early stages is quite suitable.

This will allow him to improve his radio skills more quickly.

However, he sensed that every time he passed the front yard, Sha Zhu's wife was secretly observing him.

In the few days since he returned, he has learned the woman's name—Liu Yuyan.

She is only one character different from the infamous, notorious woman "Liu Ruyan".

Moreover, it must be said that this woman is quite beautiful, on par with Qin Huairu from the Intermediate People's Court!

That idiot Zhu really got incredibly lucky!

Could this woman have taken a liking to me?

Yan Jiefang found it amusing and thought to himself with a touch of narcissism.

But he quickly shook his head: he wasn't Cao Cao, and he didn't have that kind of hobby.

His only goal in life was to live longer; women would only slow him down the speed at which he drew his sword.

In his lifetime, Yan Jiefang will probably have no more than five women.

He wants to be the protagonist of a pure love story.

Hahaha!

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang were reading in their house.

Suddenly, a strange woman's voice came from outside.

Yan Jiekuang frowned, glanced at his second brother, and then left the room.

Not long after, he returned and explained to Yan Jiefang:

"It's my older brother's blind date. I think her name is Yu Li."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang raised an eyebrow: He hadn't expected Yu Li to start going on blind dates with Yan Jiecheng so soon.

According to the plot of the TV series, she should marry Yan Jiecheng not long after.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and Yan Jiefang didn't care.

As long as they don't come to me for money when they open their restaurant in the future, that's fine.

Even if you asked him for money, he wouldn't give it to you.

This woman, like Yan Jiecheng, is a shrewd schemer.

You can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed!

Yan Jiefang didn't go out to see her, but this woman, led by Yan Jiecheng, went to Yan Jiefang's house specifically to greet him.

"Jiefang, you truly deserve to be called a top student; you're incredibly handsome! Even my sister Haitang mentions you from time to time!"

Yan Jiefang was slightly taken aback: What the hell is Haitang? Am I even acquainted with her?

We're not familiar at all!

Since I transmigrated here, I haven't met her even once. Why does this factory beauty keep mentioning me?

He knew his novels were popular, but he never imagined that not only adults loved them, but many students also enjoyed them.

Many people eagerly await the release of each month's edition of Beijing Literature and Art Publishing House, only to see it sell out as soon as it's published.

The Beijing Literature and Art Publishing House has reprinted the book several times.

Mr. Lao She has planned to raise his royalties to the maximum of 15 yuan per thousand words starting next month.

Yan Jiefang had a preconceived notion about crabapple blossoms.

He has a long face, and his looks are only slightly above average. He also has a very eccentric personality and is not one to stay put.

Unlike most women of this era.

She seems to be a cultured young woman!

She's far inferior to the honest and upright Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru has poor vision and is rather short-sighted.

This is related to her low level of education, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

After all, she was just an ordinary rural girl at that time.

These thoughts only flashed through Yan Jiefang's mind.

Without further ado, he shook the book in his hand and gave a simple reply:

"I'm just an ordinary vocational school student, your sister is really too kind."

Yu Li completely failed to grasp Yan Jiefang's intention to shoo her away with the book, and continued to relentlessly press for answers:

"Jiefang, I heard from Haitang that you get fifty or sixty yuan a month for writing books?"

Yan Jiefang lowered his eyes, knowing that this matter could not be kept secret from those who were interested in investigating.

People like Yan Bugui can get a general idea with just a little inquiry.

So he whispered his affirmation:

"More or less."

Yu Li's face showed envy:

"You're amazing! You're earning so much money before even starting work, it's so much more than Jie Cheng's salary!"

This was the first time Yan Jiecheng had heard of this, and he raised his voice in shock:

"Seriously?! Jiefang, how can you earn so much every month?"

Yan Jiefang was already impatient. He stood up and said:

"You two talk amongst yourselves, I have to go out!"

After saying that, he left without waiting for their reactions, taking the book with him.

Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua, who were outside, also heard part of what was happening here.

The sentence, in particular, that he could earn fifty or sixty yuan a month in royalties for writing books, seemed to explode in Yan Bugui's mind.

They immediately ran over and asked directly:

"What kind of payment? Fifty or sixty yuan a month?"

Yan Jiecheng curled his lip:

"Yu Li just said that the second son can get fifty or sixty yuan in royalties every month!"

Making money isn't that easy! I worked hard for a whole month, and my salary was only 32.5 yuan! Dad, do you believe that?

Yan Bugui looked at the ground and remembered that his second brother had received a forty-yuan remittance slip for royalties back in the summer.

That incident remained vivid in his memory.

Now that Yu Li says he earns fifty or sixty yuan a month in royalties, Yan Bugui knows in his heart that this is very likely true!

He immediately started calculating in his mind: My second son earns more than me, so can I ask him for some retirement money every month?

I don't need much, just 30 yuan a month is enough.

The second child now receives a school subsidy, leaving him with twenty or thirty yuan, which is more than enough!

Yu Li was also quick-witted. Judging from the appearance of this family, they probably didn't know about Yan Jiefang's income.

In addition, the other party left.

She immediately realized that she had likely made a huge mistake.

However, she also had her own plans regarding this matter.

Expose the second son's affairs so that everyone knows about his income, making it easier to ask him for money in the future!

Anyway, he had a good impression of Yan Jiecheng, and he would be able to marry into the Yan family after the New Year.

We're all family, what can't we talk about?

Yan Jiekuang, who was originally sitting to the side, was very worried about his second brother when he saw the state of the group.

He knew exactly what kind of people were in that family.

He stood silently to the side, not saying a word.

I'll quietly gather information on these guys and report it to my second brother later, so he can be on guard.

Ignoring the situation there, Yan Jiefang went straight to the Beijing Library and found a seat in the reading room. (According to information, the library reading room is open as usual during the Spring Festival holiday.)
