A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 56
After the last incident involving the Liu siblings, Li Xiang lived a calm life at school.

During this period, He Yuzhu didn't give up. He asked for leave from the factory and came to find someone, hoping to discuss an explanation with Liu Panlan face to face.

Unfortunately, he was stopped by the security guard and was not even allowed to enter the school gate.

Liu Panrong, who was notified to come to collect the person, recognized him from a distance.

He didn't dare to get close at all and ran faster than a rabbit.

He hurriedly went to Li Xiang and asked him to come forward to persuade He Yuzhu to go back.

The time that office workers can squeeze out is also limited. If people really want to avoid seeing them, He Yuzhu has no choice.

No matter how much I miss Liu Panlan in my heart, I can only give up when I can't see anyone anymore.

The days fly by.

In a few days, it was time for winter vacation.

Several roommates in Li Xiang's dormitory all chose to go home.

Even Lao Wu, whose hometown is farthest from BJ, was already prepared.

As soon as the vacation time came, I went back with two bags and my partner.

Li Xiang started his new chapter and was thrown into the factory that had been arranged by the teacher.

The winter vacation is nearly a month shorter than the summer vacation. Professor Hao took this into consideration and did not give him any difficulty at the beginning. All large factories with more than [-] employees were eliminated.

Instead, he was thoughtfully placed in a small factory with hundreds of people not far from his home.

This factory makes auto repair parts. It has a long history, but its area is not large. The total number of employees in the whole factory does not exceed 300.

Because he had greeted Li Xiang from above, Director Fan treated Li Xiang politely.

It was not done perfunctorily because he only stayed here for a month and then left.

On the first day Li Xiang reported, Director Fan personally took him to various departments and workshops to introduce him, asking everyone to cooperate with his work as much as possible.

He is also very good at being a good person. He always smiles when he meets everyone. As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Everyone who has been in contact with Li Xiang has a good evaluation of him.

Of course, Li Xiang was not just polite on the surface, because there were mostly male workers in the workshop. During the first few days there, he stuffed a pack of "1 cents" in his pocket every day, and his daily task was to scatter it during his break. .

After the workers smoked your cigarette, the distance between them became much closer, and they were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning.

After talking about the family situation of both parties, we found that everyone's life is similar, and some even think that you, a college student cadre, are not living as well as they are.

No wonder, like them, they smoke 8-cent economy brand cigarettes.

It didn't take long for Li Xiang to become one of their own in their hearts.

When faced with Li Xiang's questions, it is called a person who knows everything and speaks everything.

What should be said and what should not be said will be dealt with for you.

And these things are exactly the sources of supplementary data that Li Xiang needs most. He will never be able to find the answer just by reading books.

However, there are also reasons why the factory has not thought of hiding it.

They had read Li Xiang's project introduction before accepting him, and the leaders of the factory did not see any content in it that was detrimental to their interests.

So I was no longer wary of Li Xiang.

Since the leadership team has not said hello to the workers below, they have told the workers not to talk nonsense.

Naturally, the workers have anything to say, and even because they are close to you, they will share with you all the pickling stories they heard from somewhere.

It doesn't matter that Li Xiang is only 17 years old, not even an adult.

So now Li Xiang feels pain and happiness every day.

I am delighted with the new gains in daily topics, but I am also unable to eliminate the various gossips I hear in my ears.

You were just talking about the machine's parts parameters, but why did you suddenly say, the length is the same size as your neighbor's, and it won't work if it's too short.

I was kicked out by my mother-in-law in the middle of the night. . . . . . .

Another exhausting day.

Li Xiang dragged his tired footsteps and staggered home.

Tired!

Before he even reached the entrance of the courtyard, he was caught by Little Brother Li, who had been waiting for a while.

Li wanted to ask him: "What are you doing here?"

"Brother, someone is coming from my hometown."

"Old home?" Li Xiang hadn't seen his so-called old family members for so long, and he was tumbling over the memories of his old family members in his mind.

"Ang~ There are three people here. Let me call you uncle and cousin." Li Xiaodi said.

Li Xiang thought that hearing this title, he should be Li's father's eldest brother, so this relative should be very close. Why hasn't he heard Li's mother mention it in the past few years, and he hasn't seen anyone from his hometown.

"Mom asked you to wait outside for me? Did you say something?" Li Xiang asked his younger brother.

"I asked you not to show your watch, and don't mention money." Li Xiaodi said the words intact.

When asked about the rest, he just couldn't figure it out, saying that this was what Li's mother had told him.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Li Xiang had no choice but to forget it and held Little Brother Li's hand to prepare to go back.

I thought to myself, if the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and earth.

When passing by the front yard, the third uncle smiled at him cheerfully and said: "Li Xiang, there are people coming from my hometown, do you have to entertain them well tonight?"

"Third uncle, I just heard about it. I don't seem to have moved around in my memory. I have to go home and have a look." Li Xiang was cautious and revealed the unfamiliar relationship in advance.

He could see Third Aunt's ears reaching out of the house. The big-mouthed Third Aunt would definitely not let this news go.

Tomorrow morning, the women gathered at the washing pool in the central courtyard will spread the news throughout the courtyard.

If this relative comes with bad intentions, then their family will have a reason not to cooperate.

I haven't moved around for many years, why do you have the nerve to come to our house to make a request?

After Li Xiang greeted the third uncle politely, he continued walking home.

Along the way he met many curious neighbors who asked him for information.

No wonder they were so curious. In all the years since the Li family moved to this courtyard, they have never seen anyone come looking for them.

Not to mention the people back home.

You must know that in this courtyard, except for a few whose hometowns are from other places, the rest have relatives in the surrounding area. They come here once or twice a year no matter what.

The fields in rural areas contain things that city people want, and things that city people can buy also include things that rural people need.

Don't say who gets the advantage, it's all mutual benefit.

Even if one party suffers a little bit, the friendship between relatives will not care about the gains and losses.

Li Xiang hesitated to prevaricate, saying that he didn't know, and he would have to go home and see the person to find out.

After finally fooling these inquiring neighbors, Li Xiang's curiosity aroused.

Before he entered the house, he saw three tall and strong men sitting at his table. Mother Li and her eldest sister were talking to the three of them.

When they turned around and saw Li Xiang coming back, the three of them's eyes lit up, as if they had seen a treasure.

Before Mother Li could introduce her.

The one sitting in the middle looked at the older man and said:

"This is our Li Xiang."
