Get something in the courtyard

Just chatting is not enough, Liu Haizhong also wants Lan Zhengwu to drink.

Yi Zhonghai saw the opportunity and stood up and said, "I came here to treat Lao Liu to a drink. Director Lan is here too, so I'll ask Huairu to prepare some good wine and food."

He didn't care whether Liu Haizhong agreed or not, he got up and went to find Qin Huairu.

Lan Zhengwu asked in confusion: "Master, how about I invite you and Master's wife out for dinner?"

Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai had asked Qin Huairu to prepare the dishes, so he didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai. His sons were not around, so he needed help from the people in the courtyard if he had any problems.

"It's okay, just wait here! I happen to have some food at home, so ask your mistress to bring it over."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had agreed, Lan Zhengwu did not refuse. If he had said that he would take Liu Haizhong to Wang Kun's restaurant, Liu Haizhong would probably not have said that.

The last time he went to Wang Kun's restaurant, he was envious, but since no one was treating him, he was reluctant to spend money to eat there.

Over there, Yi Zhonghai found Qin Huairu and asked him to prepare food and wine.

Qin Huairu felt a pain on her face. There had never been such a precedent before. Besides, this was not for their family, but for the entire courtyard.

Although the young people in the hospital all have jobs, their treatment is definitely not as good as Wang Kun's.

"Uncle, why are you treating us for no reason? You and Banggeng have both lost their jobs, and we don't know how long it will take you to find new ones!"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "Huai Ru, don't be reluctant. Do you know who I met at Lao Liu's house? I met Lao Liu's apprentice, Director Lan of the Ribbed Steel Factory. I thought that Wang Kun has always been a heartless person who is unwilling to take care of us neighbors. It is better to ask Director Lan for help than to ask him.

If Banggeng works in a steel mill, it will be much better than Wang Kun's business. The steel mill is owned by the state and will not go bankrupt. Wang Kun's business is personal and may become a public-private partnership someday. He will be the next Lou Bancheng."

Now that reform and opening up has just begun, many leaders’ concepts have not changed, let alone the ordinary people below.

Qin Huairu silently calculated the choice between the steel rolling mill and Wang Kun's company, and finally felt that the steel rolling mill was better.

The factory takes care of everything from birth, aging, sickness and death, marriage and childbirth to housing allocation for workers in the country. But Wang Kun's company doesn't care about that.

"Well, I'll prepare some good wine and food."

As soon as I finished speaking, the second aunt came over with the vegetables.

"Huai Ru, your uncle said that we can't spend your money when we treat Zheng Wu to a meal. He asked me to bring these dishes over and ask you to help cook them."

Qin Huai instinctively wanted to take it. There were quite a few vegetables in the basket, and a large piece of meat. When she cooked, she could add more other vegetables and save the meat for her family.

Yi Zhonghai was unhappy and said quickly: "Second Aunt, you are slapping me in the face. I told you that I will prepare the food, how can you take it back? If you take it back, I will pretend that nothing happened."

Yi Zhonghai was once the overlord of the Siheyuan. He had been a powerful figure in the Siheyuan for more than ten years and had accumulated great prestige.

The second aunt was no match for Yi Zhonghai, so she could only take her things and go home.

Qin Huairu said with reluctance: "Uncle."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Huai Ru, don't forget, we need to find a job for Bang Geng now. It's so hard to find a regular job, how can we do it without spending a penny?"

How much does it cost to treat him to a meal? How much would it cost to give him a gift?

You have to figure this out clearly."

Qin Huairu is not stupid, it's just that his old illness has relapsed. After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, he also knows that this is not an opportunity to take advantage.

"Don't be offended, uncle. I am just a little woman and cannot see that far. Don't worry, I will go and prepare the wine and food, and I will follow you later and have a few drinks with you."

Yi Zhonghai knew what Qin Huairu was going to do as soon as he heard it, and he felt a little uncomfortable. But there was no way. It would be difficult to get Lan Zhengwu's help just by drinking. Although Qin Huairu was old, Lan Zhengwu was not young either. Maybe it would work. As for the green hat, he didn't marry Qin Huairu, it wasn't given to him. Such a good woman, Sha Zhu didn't know how to cherish her, and gave her away for nothing. What a fool.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai agreed, Qin Huairu became more motivated and took out all the treasures in her home.

Jia Zhang thought Qin Huairu wanted to improve the family's food, so she sat there waiting anxiously.

Qin Huairu was so focused on pleasing Lan Zhengwu that she didn't notice Jia Zhang's expression at all.

Wang Kun had no idea what was happening in the courtyard. He was taking his family to pay New Year's greetings to Li Yunsheng.

However, he did not get to meet Li Yunsheng. In the middle of the year, Li Yunsheng could no longer sit still and made a scene several times. Finally, he got the chance to lead troops and went to Guangxi.

After so many years of care by Wang Kun, Li Yunsheng's body is very healthy. Unless there are any accidents, he can live to be a hundred years old, or even more.

This will be Wang Kun's future support.

This was the first time that Lou Xiao'e came to the home of such a senior leader, and she was very well-behaved in front of Aunt Tian.

Only after leaving Aunt Tian's house did she relax.

"Auntie Tian is so powerful. I dare not even breathe in front of her. I feel that her aura is more powerful than that of the Governor of Hong Kong."

Ran Qiuye also said: "When I first met Aunt Tian, ​​I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak."

Wang Kun said, "You two are exaggerating. Auntie Tian is not that scary. It's just that we went there at an unfortunate time. Auntie Tian just had a call with Nanfang and had a quarrel with Uncle Li."

The two were stunned and asked at the same time: "Why did you quarrel?"

Wang Kun suppressed his laughter and said, "It's because Uncle Li is so careless that he actually wanted to lead the troops to launch a sneak attack. People couldn't control him, so he called the people who could. Don't tell anyone about this. It involves military secrets."

Of course, the two of them would not say anything nonsense, but they were still curious about how Wang Kun knew it.

"Cher told me."

Aunt Tian specifically tested Xueer's medical skills and stayed with her alone for a while.

Ran Qiuye suddenly thought of the children, so he looked back and found that there were no cars behind him, so he asked, "Where are Xue'er and the others?"

Lou Xiao'e said, "They drove out to play. They just told me."

Ran Qiuye looked a little unhappy: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lou Xiao'e explained: "Isn't this because I'm afraid you won't agree? Okay, Qiuye, don't be angry, let Xiaoxiao take them out to play. It can also make their brother and sister have a better relationship.

From now on, the family business will belong to the three of them. If the three of them don’t get along well, what will happen to the business?”

Ran Qiuye couldn't say anything about this. There were three children in the family, two of them were hers.

She had no choice but to say, "It's not that I don't want them to play, it's just that Congcong is going to take the college entrance examination and I want him to study hard."

Lou Xiao'e said, "There's nothing to worry about. With Congcong's grades, there's no need to worry about him not being able to get into a good university. If he wants to study abroad, it's just a matter of words."

Ran Qiuye said reluctantly: "I can't bear to let him go. Aren't you planning to let Xiaoxiao come back to school?"

Lou Xiao'e said, "This is different. Xiaoxiao has lived in Hong Kong for so many years and is not familiar with China. I asked him to come back so that he can get familiar with the domestic environment." (End of this chapter)
