Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 10 It's not working anymore. Why are you messing around?

After chatting for a while at Li's house, everyone left.

Seeing Xu Damao quickly enter the house, Liu Guangqi, the eldest of the Liu family who had been silent, closed the door and asked in confusion: "Dad, why did we get a bowl of kerosene for Li Xiangdong? This stuff is very precious now. Yesterday I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy oil. The price of kerosene, which used to be 4 cents per pound, has increased to cents. It's getting more and more expensive!"

Snapped!
He slapped the eldest son on the head, and pointed at his three sons with a look of disappointment, "What do you know! Can't you see the signs tonight? Li Xiangdong usually doesn't show off his abilities, do you really think he has no ability? I can tell you, this kid from the Li family is really capable, just wait, he will be very successful in the future!"

The three sons looked at each other in bewilderment. Their vision was not as broad as Liu Haizhong's, so naturally they could not understand the logic behind what happened that night.

"Hey," Liu Haizhong saw that they were confused, glanced at the closed door, and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what's going on now? Let's not talk about anything else. Take the several large hospitals nearby. They have been concentrating on attracting medical talents recently. This summer, the country held a meeting to vigorously develop and cultivate talents in hospitals, schools, and electricity. All of these are included in the country's future development plan. Last month, I had a drink with Director Luo from the workshop, and he accidentally revealed to me that Director Luo has a deep background and knows some inside information from the top. With this premise, why should Li Xiangdong, who has shown his talent for the time being, worry about having no future?"

The three of them were shocked. They didn't expect there to be such a statement here. For a moment, they admired their father's meticulous observation and thinking ability.

"Don't underestimate him now because he is just a small veterinarian. I have said that this thing can be used to treat everything. The Li family is very good at treating livestock. If they learn a little knowledge of Chinese medicine, they can apply it to other cases and get on the right track immediately," Liu Haizhong said shrewdly, "A bowl of kerosene, haha, you feel bad about it? If Li Xiangdong needs it, I am willing to give him this bucket of kerosene! This is called paving the way, do you understand?"

Liu Guangqi took a deep breath and said admiringly: "Dad, after your explanation, I understand! I really understand!"

Guangtian Guangfu was a little nervous. He stood there uncomfortably, staring at Liu Haizhong.

"And you two, can you be more open-minded like your eldest brother? What future can you achieve by working as a blacksmith in a steel mill all day? If you want to climb up, you must seize every opportunity you can. You are still a little immature! Learn more!"

Although they didn't quite understand what Liu Haizhong said, the two brothers Guangtian and Guangfu felt that their father was capable, and they nodded frequently as if possessed.

Seeing the clear and foolish looks in his two sons' eyes, Liu Haizhong raised his hand as if to hit them, then suddenly sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, this family still depends on me!"

……

"Dad, do we really want Yu Li to prepare some dishes to entertain Li Xiangdong? Wouldn't that be too grand? We've rarely treated others to meals in the past!"

Yan Jiecheng followed Yan Bugui through the hanging flower gate and returned to the front yard. Before entering the door, hesitantly pulled his father to ask.

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Yan Bugui was feeling depressed. When he heard his son asking this question, he immediately became furious. "Guess why Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong are so eager to curry favor with Li Xiangdong?"

"Why?" Yan Jiecheng was mediocre and not as smart as his father Yan Bugui. He scratched his head in confusion.

"Hmph!" Yan Bugui had his own unique understanding. He looked at the dark front yard and lowered his voice and said, "Let me ask you, our family is a wealthy family in the yard, right? There are seven people in the family. How much money does it cost to treat a cold and fever all year round? Li Xiangdong was able to perform a small operation on Jia Dongxu so smoothly today. What does this prove? It proves that he is not just a veterinarian. His medical skills are definitely better than we imagined! Not to mention treating colds and fevers, he can also help us with any serious illness in the future! We are all neighbors. If we have a good relationship with him, how can he ask us for more money? We are not like an old man who wants to get free treatment for a doctor. We pay, but we have this condition. If we have a good relationship with the Li family, how can he ask us for more money at that time?"

Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up, and he sighed with emotion, "Dad, you have a really far-sighted vision! That's true, he is too embarrassed to ask us for more! We are poor!"

"That's right!" Yan Bugui smiled with relief, and pointed his chin towards the side room. "Let me ask you, if Yu Li gets pregnant, will you take her to the hospital every day? How much will that cost? Why don't you just let Li Xiangdong check on your wife?"

"Dad?" Yan Jiecheng was shocked and terrified. "I know that Li Xiangdong delivered a donkey, but Yu Li is a human being. Can he do a prenatal check-up?" "Oh, why are you so stupid!" Yan Bugui said angrily, "If we can save a penny, it's a penny. If we can save our Yan family a hundred, then we will save a hundred! He is a good doctor and he will take responsibility as long as he can. Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? It's really not possible. We can go to the hospital again!"

"So that's it!" Yan Jiecheng suddenly realized.

Yan Bugui was relieved to see that his son finally understood. He pulled his hand and said, "What's wrong with you? You and Yu Li have been married for a year, right? Why is there no movement in your belly?"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned red, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Dad, don't worry, don't worry, I'm busy with work. I'm exhausted at the factory every day. How can I have the energy to take care of the children when I come home..."

"Ah?" Yan Bugui, who had never asked about the details, was stunned for a moment. He slapped his head and said anxiously, "My child, you really have to pay attention to this! If you don't make some noise quickly, you will be laughed at! Apart from anything else, we have a precedent in our yard!"

"..." The corners of Yan Jiecheng's mouth twitched, and his expression was silent.

"The old couple has been childless for decades. Look at what the neighbors say about them. Their spines are almost broken!" Yan Bugui said earnestly, "The three unfilial acts are not having descendants, and the worst is not having descendants. This is the old man's biggest worry. How much money has he spent on seeking medical treatment for this matter?"

"Okay, let's not talk about the distant past!" Yan Bugui saw his son's expression and knew that he had heard it, so he pointed in the direction of the backyard, "Just talk about Xu Damao! You see he is cheerful all day long, but how do the neighbors laugh at him? Did you hear what Sha Zhu said about him? A rooster that doesn't lay eggs! What vicious words! There are two precedents in your yard, so don't go down the wrong path! I don't want everyone to laugh at my Yan family when I walk on the street, saying that they are going to be extinct..."

"Dad!" Yan Jiecheng's face was burning with anger. "You are talking about Li Xiangdong's matter, why are you dragging me into this again? I know what you said, I will try my best, okay?"

He was about to leave when Yan Bugui stopped him again, "Son, don't think I'm being rude. This isn't something you can just brush off with a simple "try your best"! Tell dad the truth, what happened between you and Yu Li..."

"Dad!" Yan Jiecheng's face turned red. "What are you talking about? Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he rushed back to his room without caring about Yan Bugui's attempts to stop him.

"Son, if you can't do it, why don't you go see Li Xiangdong tomorrow?"

Yan Jiecheng slammed the door shut, not daring to answer. He fumbled for the cold teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp. The cold tea soaked his chest and lungs, and it seemed as if anger was rising.

He turned his head to take a look at the blurry but exquisite curves on the bed, swallowed his saliva, threw down the teacup, reached out to wipe the tea stains from the corners of his mouth, and quickly disarmed himself and rushed over...

Bang!
But I didn't expect that a few seconds later, I was kicked off the bed.

"…It's not working, why are you messing around!"

"..."
