Li Ming was stunned, then shook his head, temporarily suppressing the urge to watch the system. He decided to finish his meal first. As for why Qian Lili came back from outside, he was still not interested. As long as it did not affect his own interests, he still had a considerable tolerance for these beasts in the courtyard.
Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Are you back?" Aunt Yi looked up at Yi Zhonghai and smiled.
Yi Zhonghai lifted the things in his hand and said, "Look what I got. Hey, I'm lucky today. I got a rabbit!"
"Oh, this is a rare thing! I only saw it occasionally in the market before!" Aunt Yi looked at the bright red rabbit meat in Yi Zhonghai's pocket and smiled, "I was thinking about what to get. We don't have much meat at home. It's just right, I'll get some rabbits tonight!"
"Okay, I'll take a break. There's a lot of work to do in the factory today, and it's a bit tiring!" Yi Zhonghai shook his head and sighed.
Aunt Yi carried the rabbit into the kitchen and said, "Why not find an apprentice to teach us? At least he can help me out!"
"No need, you don't know, it's more troublesome to train an apprentice! Now I have a pillar, I don't need to carry it! It's okay to put in a little effort occasionally." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.
There was no more voice of Aunt Yi from the kitchen, only the occasional "do do do" sound. Yi Zhonghai didn't care. He sat at the door of his house, glancing towards He Yuzhu's house from time to time.
He Yuzhu's home.
He Yuzhu was still very happy when he saw Qian Lili appear in his sight.
"Lili, come quickly. I ordered a set of roast duck from Changchun today." He Yuzhu said to Qian Lili with a silly smile.
Qian Lili nodded, washed her hands in the sink outside and then returned home.
As for being heard by Qin Huairu and Banggeng? They didn't care. Even if you asked for it, they wouldn't give it to you.
"Why did you think of buying roast duck today?" Qian Lili picked up a piece of sliced duck with chopsticks, then added some shredded green onion and cucumber, and finally brushed a layer of roast duck sauce on the spring roll, rolled it up and put it in her mouth.
"Well, it tastes very good. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Qian Lili said with satisfaction.
He Yuzhu saw that Qian Lili was very satisfied with today's dinner, and the smile on his face became even wider. "If you like it, eat more. This set of roast duck still has a lot."
"Okay, Zhuzi, you eat it too." Qian Lili rolled it up for He Yuzhu and handed it to him.
"Okay, I'll eat too!"
Qian Lili was in a very good mood today. Yi Zhonghai was very supportive in the afternoon, at least much better than He Yuzhu. Qian Lili was satisfied and her mood was naturally better.
Of course, there might be another time in the evening, but Qian Lili didn't take it to heart. There was nothing worth remembering about He Yuzhu for a few minutes.
. . . . . .
Except for the Jia family, every household in the central courtyard was immersed in a happy dinner time.
Before Banggeng was abolished, he might have gone to Qin Huairu and begged her for Peking duck, but he doesn’t do that now.
Although Qin Huairu didn't make much money as a cleaner at the steel mill, life at home was better than when Jia Dongxu was around. After all, there was one less mouth to feed.
Besides, when Jia Dongxu worked in the steel mill, he didn't earn much more than Qin Huairu does now. Working in a workshop just has prospects, but requires hard work to improve one's skills. However, Jia Dongxu doesn't have that talent, so he might as well be cleaning toilets as Qin Huairu.
Front yard, Li's house.
After dinner, Li Ming returned to the second bedroom. He planned to see if his system had any prompts. After all, he hadn't been fishing much recently and hadn't received any rewards, so he was quite interested in the system's prompt sound at that time.
[Ding, in view of the great changes in the plot of the world of Love in Siheyuan where the host is located, the system is specially updated and maintained for the host to live a better life. ]
Huh? Li Ming tilted his head in confusion. This was beyond his expectation. In the past, the system was upgraded by lottery. Why was it suddenly updated this time?
Li Ming glanced at the countdown in the lower right corner. Hmm, it’s 12 o’clock. It will probably be ok when he wakes up tomorrow. He is quite concerned about the update and maintenance of the system.
The first two system upgrades brought him a lot of help, which means that the task module was used less frequently, but the overall help was still very good.
"Major plot changes? Tsk tsk!" Li Ming lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
When Yan Jiecheng fell and Xu Damao married Yu Li, neither of them triggered a system update. If there was any major change, it would undoubtedly be the Intermediate Court.
He Yuzhu got married. Tsk, this is not a major change in the plot! Moreover, it also involves the issue of Yi Zhonghai's retirement. In the original plot, this was a consistent main line. Now it seems that Qian Lili has indeed brought a significant impact.
At least the future of that disgusting group of people in the Jia family has been completely changed.
"Forget it, let's stop thinking about those nonsense. Everything will become clear when we wake up tomorrow morning." Li Ming muttered to himself after finishing the cigarette in his hand.
Yan family.
Yan Jiefang finished his dinner very tiredly, then left the main house and wandered towards his own little house.
When Aunt Yan saw her second son working very hard, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. After all, the child was still young, and he would definitely not be able to handle such heavy work for a while.
After Yan Jiefang's figure disappeared, Aunt Yan looked at Yan Fugui.
"Old Yan, do you want to find a job for Jiefang? He may not be able to carry heavy loads at his age!"
Yan Fugui finished his last bite, put his chopsticks aside, and burped. "It's easy to say, but how can you find a job just by looking for it?"
"Even temporary workers are hard to find in this city right now!"
Chapter 512: The Agreement between Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong
The money that Yan Jiefangkangda earns every month is not as much as that of his deceased eldest son, and he is still growing and eats even more. Yan Fugui has been heartbroken for a long time.
But the problem is that if you want to find a job in the old city now, you can’t find it just by talking!
"I see Guangqi from Old Liu's family in the backyard is also looking for a job. Why don't you go to the backyard and talk to Old Liu? At the very least, let the two children accompany you to look for a job." Aunt Yan was distressed. "You and Old Liu, think of a solution together, it's better than carrying it all on your own, right?"
Thinking of her second son's dark face now, and the fact that no matter how much he ate, he still couldn't gain weight and had a body that looked like skeletons, Aunt Yan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
At least they had two sons before, but now they only have this one left. If something happens to the second son, what do you think their family will do?
"Go get the bottle of Erguotou on the bedside table. I'll go to the backyard to look for Lao Liu." Yan Fugui paused, "Oh, and get the unopened bottle in the drawer of the bedside table."
After hearing this, Aunt Yan nodded in surprise, turned around and walked towards the bedroom. She knew that there were usually two bottles of wine on the bedside table, one bottle was wine mixed with water, and the other bottle was unopened.
He would only take the unopened bottle when something good happened, or during the New Year or when he was asking someone for a favor. The opened bottle was just for Yan Fugui to indulge himself occasionally.
After a while, Aunt Yan took out the bottle of Erguotou and handed it to Yan Fugui.
Yan Fugui sighed, slowly got up from the stool, held the bottle of wine in both hands behind his back, and staggered towards the backyard.
"I hope Old Yan can find a better job for Jiefang." Aunt Yan muttered softly as she looked at Yan Fugui's back.
He is the only son in the family, how could he not care about him! Even Yan Fugui asked Yan Jiefang to pay half less of the living expenses and food expenses that Yan Jiefang had to hand in every month!
At least it can be seen how much Yan Fugui cares about Yan Jiefang.
Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.
When Yan Fugui arrived, he saw Liu Haizhong eating alone at the table. As for the others, they had already finished eating and left.
"Old Liu, would you like something to drink?" Yan Fugui smiled and looked as kind as an old man at the entrance of the village.
Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows. He knew that Yan Fugui would never come to visit someone unless there was something important to do. However, he had been having a very stressful life recently. Yan Fugui even brought some wine, so it didn't matter if he had a drink.
"Isn't this a bar?" Liu Haizhong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, can I still do that? Look, there's a real cup of Erguotou without saying a word!" Yan Fugui sat down next to Liu Haizhong carelessly and handed over the Erguotou.
Then, he skillfully reached for the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
Liu Haizhong took it, unscrewed the bottle and sniffed it. Hmm, this time old man Yan Fugui brought the real stuff, but it also meant that this old man must be in trouble!
Liu Haizhong took out two wine cups from behind, filled them up, pushed one to Yan Fugui, and took a sip for himself.
"Huh~ This Erguotou is still the best! So strong!" Liu Haizhong's face flushed and he lit a cigarette for himself.
Yan Fugui also took a sip and seemed to shiver all over. Then he slowly exhaled the smell of alcohol. It seemed that he was used to drinking wine diluted with water, so he was a little uncomfortable drinking it without any additives.
Neither of them spoke first, but they drank two cups and smoked a cigarette before they became more friendly.
"Old Yan, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Fugui with a red face, a smile on his raised lips.
Not to mention that it's okay, Liu Haizhong would rather believe that Yi Zhonghai can have a child than believe that Yan Fugui came to his house just to drink with him!
Yan Fugui didn't care. "Our Jiefang has been carrying big guys recently, but the question is when will he stop?!"
"I thought Guangqi was also looking for a job recently, so let them look for one together."
Liu Haizhong suddenly realized and looked at the liquor on the table. "Letting the two of them look for jobs together doesn't mean you, Old Yan, have to pay for a bottle of liquor, right?"
Yan Fugui smiled and touched his cheek with his rough big hand. He didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. Could it be that he was so easily seen through?
"I was thinking, why don't we find a way to find these two kids some temporary jobs? Two people working together will definitely be better than one, right?"
"Guangqi hasn't found a suitable job recently, right?"
Liu Haizhong was stunned. He didn't expect Yan Fugui to come with this idea. This was different from the Yan Fugui he knew. Usually, this old guy just came for benefits, and it was true that he had never seen him put in any effort.
Could it be that he is the only child left in the family? He is reluctant to let go? That is not impossible. Two people are definitely more convenient than one.
"Okay, Guang Qi hasn't been found yet. It's very difficult to find even a temporary worker in Sijiu City right now."
"If we can find a place for these two kids to work together, they'll have someone to help them. It's better than working alone."
Liu Haizhong agreed very readily. He had the idea of finding a job for Liu Guangqi two days ago, but before he had the time to implement it, Yan Fugui came to him.
Although Yan Fugui's moral character is not very good, at least two people working together is better than him working alone! They have been neighbors for many years, and he doesn't believe that Yan Fugui would do something like crossing the river and destroying the bridge.
This old guy still has a lot of dignity.
"Okay, let's keep drinking!"
"drink!"
Liu Guangqi, who was lying at the door of the side bedroom listening to the noise, felt a little touched. After all, Liu Haizhong was his biological father, and he would definitely help him.
It would be very difficult for him to find a suitable job in the old city by himself, but with the help of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, it might be much easier.
After all, he has a bad reputation. If it really is Yan Jiefang, it would be nice for him to be his companion. At least they can support each other, right?
"Dad is going to find a job for you?" Pan Cuilian was stunned after hearing what Liu Guangqi said. She didn't expect that her father-in-law who seemed to have a bad temper was unexpectedly a bit reliable?
Liu Guangqi nodded, "I have to work harder myself. I've almost finished my tour of the DC area these days. I'm thinking of going west. It's a little far, but it would be nice if I could find a job there."
"Why are you choosing now? Just find a suitable job and do it first, and then think about other things when the situation improves in the future!"
Chapter 513 System Update
After listening to this, Pan Cuilian nodded and expressed her approval of Liu Guangqi's idea. Things are different now, the situation is different, there is no such awesome father-in-law anymore, there is no other way, she can only bow her head!
Front yard, Yan's house.
Aunt Yan told Yan Jiefang the good news brought by Yan Fugui. Yan Jiefang's eyes flickered and he seemed surprised.
"Jiefang, you work first. When your dad finds a suitable one, you and Guangqi can go to work together."
"No matter if it's good or bad, at least it's better than carrying a big one every day, right?"
Yan Jiefang nodded silently, his voice hoarse, "Okay, I understand."
It is normal to have a hoarse throat if you carry heavy things every day and don’t replenish water in time.
Yan Jiefang was a little scared at first, but later on he got used to it.
. . . . . .
Nothing happened all night.
The next day.
Front yard, Li's house.
When Li Ming woke up from his bed, the first thing he did was to open his system interface. He was very curious! He had long wanted to know what would happen after the system was updated.
[Ding, in view of the great changes in the plot of the world of Love in Siheyuan where the host is located, the system is specially updated and maintained for the host to live a better life. ]
[Ding, the system has been updated. The following are new additions to the system. ]
【1. The task module has been greatly updated. It is no longer passively triggered by the host. The host can actively trigger the task.】
[2. The triggering task is when there is a character on the hatred value list. The host can click on the corresponding character, and the system will form the most suitable task based on the host's time, location and environment.]
[3. The higher the host's hatred value, the richer the quest rewards will be.]
Li Ming's eyes lit up after reading the introduction of the system update. Why did he do so few of the previous system tasks? It was because the passive trigger was too random!
(It’s not that the author has forgotten!)
"Open the hatred value list." Li Ming scratched his messy hair and said silently to the system.
【Hate Value】
