Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

Originally, Chen Fang and Xing Jianshu were both working, and they lived a happy life; now that the third sister is out of work, one person's salary is directly reduced.

Lao Xing also had parents and sisters to support, so all the burden suddenly fell on him alone.

Although universities in this era do not charge tuition fees, and there are monthly subsidies during the school period, this amount of money is not even enough for Chen Fang's basic living expenses.

Lao Xing inevitably has to pay for it...

The fat man who saw the problem found an excuse and pulled Xing Jianshu outside and said to him: "Third brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about my sister going to school. I will pay for her expenses."

When Lao Xing heard this, he quickly refused: "Are you kidding? How can I ask you to pay for Chen Fang's schooling? If others know about it, where will I put my old face?"

The fat man interrupted him: "Are we a family? If we are a family, don't talk about two different things."

Chen Fang, the younger brother, is very capable. He is a chef at a young age. He takes his salary outside every month and earns a lot of money. Xing Jianshu knows this.

But it was precisely because he knew that he was unconvinced and wanted to prove to Chen Fang that he, Lao Xing, was no worse than the fat man.

This is also the biggest difference between him and his eldest brother-in-law Cao Zhengyang.

Everyone has their own way of living, just live your own life and that’s it! Are you tired of having to compete with this or that?

As a last resort, Fatty had no choice but to tell Lao Xing, "One family does not speak the same language as two other families." As for whether he listened, Fatty didn't know, and he couldn't control it.

What he can do is help them solve their worries, and at least let Chen Fang have enough food and clothing during the four years of college.

As expected in the evening, many people drank too much.

The first person to bear the brunt was Xu Damao. Silly Zhu simply prodded him a few words, and he was about to go to heaven; the "three big and one small, two five and ten" combat skills were activated directly. He carried the bottle and fought with others everywhere, and was the first to get under the table. It's him.

Next is Lao Xing of Chen Fang’s family. He was also a bit “crazy” today. He got drunk before he even drank. While bragging to everyone about how good his Chen Fang is, he also wanted to let everyone know that he was on the train. I also achieved great results at the railway bureau!

He is not much behind Chen Fang...

Then this one surprised Fatty, he turned out to be the eldest brother-in-law. Cao Zhengyang has a quiet temperament. Even when he drinks, he doesn't like to shout and drink. He drinks quietly by himself with a cup; but he gets drunk just by drinking.

By the time the fat man found out, it was already too late. Chen Rong was beside Cao Zhengyang, patting him gently, just like when she patted Cao Hao before.

The fat man asked in a low voice: "Sister, does my eldest brother-in-law have something on his mind?"

Chen Rong sighed softly and explained: "In the factory, wages are still based on level. Your eldest brother-in-law has been a level 65 worker since 5. This card lasts for 13 years. He can't pass the exam even if he wants to... …”

At this time, the problems of low management level and low employee enthusiasm in steel companies like Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill have begun to show up.

Especially in the past three years, it has been jokingly called "three against two thousand six dozen"; now the Red Star Factory, just like He Yuyu's textile factory, has begun to run further and further downhill. .

The last one who was drunk was Yu Qian. When the fat man came to check, he had fallen asleep on the table. Yu Li explained for him: "It's the end of the year again, and he is homesick."

Fatty could tell from Yu Li's words that she also missed her aunt, especially since Chen Mengqi was born and she hadn't shown off in front of her aunt yet.

Her biological parents had a lukewarm attitude toward their granddaughter. Chen Mengqi had not been close to her grandparents since she was a child.

The fat man also annoyed them. A few years ago, he actually said in front of the young Chen Mengqi, "Your mother is a loser. I didn't expect you to be a loser too."

Chen Mengqi parroted these words to Fatty after she came back. Although she didn't quite understand it, it didn't stop her from hearing that it was not a good thing to say.

From then on, Fatty stopped taking Chen Mengqi to Yu Li's house. Yu Li stood firmly with them; she didn't have much sense of belonging to that family...

"How about you send a telegram to my aunt and ask her to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year, so that the family can be reunited."

Yu Li instinctively wanted to refuse, but she looked at Yu Qian, then at Chen Mengqi, and finally nodded heavily.

When the show ended, how to arrange these four drunkards became a troublesome matter.

Ben Leihu volunteered to send Lao Xing back together with Chen Fang; Xu Damao was the happiest, because the most people returned to the courtyard, so they could get him back no matter what; Fatty accepted his fate and sent his eldest brother-in-law home; in the end, there was only one Yu left. Qian, grandma didn't care about her uncle, so Yu Li went to call for a cart and spent 5 cents to bring him back to the courtyard with Xu Damao.

On Sunday, Chen Fang came to pick up the fat man early in the morning: "Why haven't you packed your things yet? Everyone is waiting over there."

The fat man was very impatient: "I know, I know, why are you so anxious? You asked me to treat you well, but in the end you asked me to take the spoon. Is this how your best friend repays me?"

Chen Fang laughed guiltily: "Oh, I accidentally let it slip...Chen Kang, just help me this time. Besides, Chen Yan is going too today."

The fat man sighed and resignedly packed the sea cucumbers that had been shipped, along with other bottles and cans, into his "tool box" in order.

This box was also tailor-made for him by Robin, the beautiful proprietress in Stardew Valley.

It looks like it's made of wood, but it's actually made of engineering plastic, which is light and strong. There are holes of different sizes inside according to his needs, and there are sponges wrapped in the holes, and all kinds of bottles and cans can be inserted directly into it. , like a fisherman’s treasure chest of later generations.

When they arrived, Chen Yan took a look at the house and roughly estimated the level of Gong Qian's father.

What, looking at Chen Fang's nervous look, how big a spiritual guide do you think he is? It turned out that he was not as high as Director Wang.

Gong Qian was very happy today. She specially wore a long skirt and was not afraid of the cold. She was waiting for Chen Fang and the others downstairs early.

Before Fatty and his bikes had even stopped, she warmly greeted them, helping them get things and asking for help.

After the fat man parked the car, Gong Qian pulled him and ran upstairs: "Brother Chen Kang, come up with me quickly. My parents have wanted to see you for a long time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get into college!"

Chen Fang and Chen Yan were left staring at each other downstairs.

Chen Fang asked softly: "What's going on?"

Chen Yan put her hands on her hips: "It's all because of you, you found a love rival for Yu Li!"
