A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 111 The second uncle wants to be an official?

Li Xiang hasn't come yet.

The second uncle faced the door, stretched out his thick neck, and looked around frequently, just like that bastard stretching his head.

The second aunt in the back looked at the master like this, and it was really ugly.

So he sent his youngest son Liu Guangfu to sit outside the door with a bowl. If he saw Li Xiang coming out of the house, he would come in and let him know.

She gave the second uncle a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks and asked, "How old is this kid?"

The second uncle pushed away the chopsticks used by the second brother Liu Guangtian to pick up the eggs, glanced sideways at the second aunt, and said mockingly.

"What do you know? No wonder the old saying goes, you women have long hair but short knowledge."

"My mother's short-sightedness is not matched by your pettiness." Liu Guangtian, who wanted to eat well but failed, put down his chopsticks.

"What are you talking about, you little bastard? Are you itchy and want to be beaten?" The second uncle shouted when his son dared to say something.

"Same for you, the second eldest son. How can you say that to your father and still know the rules?" The second aunt also immediately stood up to protect her husband.

Liu Guangtian looked at the two people with the same hatred in front of him and felt that he was out of luck.

How do you get these two people to be your parents?

Which family has the same dining table as theirs, where everyone is divided into three or six classes, with fathers in the first class, mothers in the second class, and children in the bottom class.

He made a gesture of surrender with his hands, evacuated the table, and went out to find his brother.

"Hmph~" The second uncle saw him going out and snorted dissatisfiedly, but made no other move.

As usual, maybe the second uncle would take action directly.

But today is different. Today he has business, but he can't delay his business by beating this little bastard. It's not worth it.

After the Liu family's dinner table was cleared, Li Xiang came out of the house.

After a while, the two Liu brothers walked into the Liu family with meaningful eyes.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu have somewhat complicated feelings about Li Xiang.

The second brother of the two brothers is one year older than Li Xiang, and the third brother is two years younger than Li Xiang.

We all played together when we were kids, and we were all pretty close at that time. If we just get along like this, it stands to reason that our relationship will be close to each other.

But it just so happens that the older the three little brothers are, the weaker their relationship becomes.

This is not because Li Xiang's core is foreign, which leads to such a result.

There were signs as early as when Li's father was still alive, but the arrival of Li Xiang accelerated the process of everyone's decoupling.

This person is afraid of comparison. They are both from the backyard, and the two families are also close to each other. How can they be so different as parents?

Every time Li's father comes back from get off work, he kisses his children, hugs his daughter, and carries his son on his back.

From time to time, he would bring back one or two candy bars to sweeten the children's mouths.

At that time, life in the Li family was bitter, but my heart was not bitter at all. Even drinking plain water felt sweet.

But what kind of life are the two brothers of the Liu family living? Everything good about the family is done by the Liu family boss alone.

The two brothers looked like they were picked up from outside. The second uncle and the second aunt hit and scolded them at every turn.

It would be a surprise if there were no injuries on my body one day.

The brothers were also surprised that Liu Haizhong and his wife treated their three children differently, but at that time they did not dare to hate their eldest brother, nor did they dare to blame their parents.

Instead, I blame Xiao Lixiang, who has a happy family and good parents.

Liu Guangtian looked straight at the open space in front of him, recalling the past.

To be honest, when Father Li left, he felt a twisted sense of joy in his heart.

Because you love to show off, now you have no father.

This was his mentality at the time, and he didn't feel there was anything wrong with him.

In those years of famine, the Li family almost starved to death, so they came to borrow food from their house.

The depression that had been held in for so many years was finally resolved.

At this time, comparing with other families, it seems quite good to have a father who can make them eat and drink well. Even if he likes to beat people, it is better than starving to death.He thought that after this incident, he had completely let go of his obsession with the Li family, and he no longer had to envy the Li family for being happier than him.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiang came from behind and turned the Li family around again.

The two brothers were still working odd jobs, and day by day, they turned into the characters his father wanted.

Liu Guangtian chuckled, feeling that this world was really incomprehensible, why didn't he have such luck?

Liu Guangfu heard the sound and glanced at his second brother.

Brothers who grew up together in adversity, no one knew who was who, and what Liu Guangtian was thinking was clear to him.

. . . . . .

As soon as Li Xiang entered the room, he was greeted by the second uncle and sat down at the table.

The brewed sugar water was then placed in front of him.

Next, a plate of peanuts and melon seeds was pushed to him by the second uncle.

Li Xiang has never seen the second uncle and his wife being so attentive to him. It would be nice if they don't display music scores in front of you.

He picked up the cup and put it down, blowing on the hot sugar water twice from time to time.

When the second uncle saw this, he blamed the second aunt and said, "Look at the good thing you did. The water won't even pour out. It's so hot that it makes people want to drink it."

"Oh, look at my brain, why didn't I think of drying it in advance?"

The second aunt has always treated the second uncle's words as if they were an imperial edict. Whatever she says is whatever she says. She admits whether it is her fault or not and never talks back.

Two people, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, a perfect match.

What Li Xiang could say could only be said to be casual, and then let the second uncle get to the point directly.

"I guess...that is...how to put it..."

The second uncle was hesitating, and Li Xiang was confused. What do you want to say?

"I don't understand what you're saying. If you haven't decided what to say yet, think about it first. You can talk to me again in a few days."

Li Xiang doesn't have time. I heard that the second uncle is here. He still has a lot of things waiting to be sorted out.

He stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but was held down by the second uncle.

"Li Xiang, second uncle, am I considered a good comrade with progressive ideas?"

If you're asking this, how can I say that you don't count?

Li Xiang nodded speechlessly and said yes.

"I have been serving everyone diligently in the hospital for so many years. Have I ever been selfish?"

"No."

"You saw what I am capable of as a seventh-level worker today, am I really talented?"

"Yes."

"Then tell me, does your second uncle have a chance to be..."

Before Liu Haizhong could speak, Li Xiang cut him off.

His ambition was fully exposed in these questions, and Li figured out what he wanted to do.

Of course, it can't be said to be exposed. After all, everyone in this compound knows that the second uncle wants to be an official.

And I have been thinking about it for many years, even in my dreams.

"Second uncle, if you want to be an official, just relying on what you said is not enough."

Li Xiang was not prepared to say something like he had no right to prevaricate the second uncle.

Instead, he should present the facts and reason, explain what he has to say, and analyze with the second uncle why he cannot become an official.

　Thank you all for your recommendation votes, I appreciate it!
