Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

Chapter 10 Meeting Zhang Fuwang

Yan Bugui looked at the remaining dishes with a reluctant expression. Li Tianyou smiled in his heart, found a basin, poured the remaining dishes into the basin, and let Yan Bugui take away both the meat and the vegetables.

After Yan Bugui left, Li Tianyou tidied up the house and went out.

After Yan Bugui from the front yard returned home, the third aunt looked at Yan Bugui carrying so many things back and exclaimed: "Old Yan, were all these things given by Section Chief Li?"

Yan Bugui whispered: "You old woman, can't you keep your voice down a bit?"

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng and others came out of the house. Seeing what his father was carrying, he said in surprise: "Dad, why are there so many delicious dishes? Oh, there's even a piece of pork belly."

Yan Jiefang also exclaimed: "Dad, can we eat meat now?"

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were both surprised and asked: "Yes, Dad, was all this meat given by Section Chief Li?"

Yan Bugui glanced at the third aunt complainingly and said, "We've already had dinner tonight. Save these for tomorrow. Go back to bed."

Although Yan Bugui said this, the children all looked at the leftovers in Yan Bugui's hand with shining eyes.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Although it was leftovers, Li Tianyou cooked a lot and Yan Bugui ate a lot, so there were a lot left.

Looking at the pieces of bright red braised pork, the crystal clear twice-cooked pork, and the glossy Xinjiang big plate chicken, the children of the Yan family were drooling.

Seeing the leftovers that were staring at him, Yan Bugui knew that these children had indeed been short of food recently, so he said, "Come, each of you have one piece, and then go back to sleep. You have to calculate the amount of food you eat. If you don't calculate, you will be poor. If you don't calculate, you will be poor. Don't you know that?"

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng and his companions were even more like hungry wolves. They didn't even wash their hands and each of them picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into their mouths. Although it was already cold, Yan Jiecheng and his companions still closed their eyes and showed expressions of enjoyment on their faces after putting the meat into their mouths.

Seeing the children each taking a piece of braised pork to eat, the three aunts also said: "Okay, everyone has eaten a piece, go back to sleep."

Yan Jiecheng and the others also knew that allowing them to have one piece of meat was already the limit of their parents, so they did not dare to ask for too much. They looked at the remaining meat and vegetables reluctantly and returned to the house.

After the children returned to the house, Yan Bugui put down the dishes he was carrying and said, "Old woman, come and have a piece."

The third auntie looked embarrassed and said: "It's enough for the children to eat. I am an adult now and I am not as greedy as the children, so I won't eat it."

Yan Bugui shouted, found a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, handed it to Auntie San and said, "Have a piece. It's been a long time since we had meat in our house."

Looking at the braised pork placed next to her mouth, the third aunt swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth hesitantly.

Looking at the open mouth, Yan Bugui smiled and fed the food into the third aunt's mouth.

The third aunt chewed for a long time with a happy look on her face before swallowing it. After swallowing it, she licked her lips with her tongue.

The third aunt said happily: "Although it's a little cold, it still smells really good."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Old lady, this Section Chief Li is no ordinary person."

The third aunt said: "I know, didn't I say it? A war hero, a descendant of a martyr."

After Yan Bugui put the dishes away, he said, "You only know the surface. Section Chief Li's identity is not as simple as you see."

The third aunt asked curiously: "Old Yan, what other identity does Section Chief Li have?"

Yan Bugui told the three aunts about drinking Moutai and smoking Zhonghua cigarettes at Li Tianyou's house, and said that the Zhonghua cigarettes were specially supplied ones.

Then he told me everything about asking me to help find people and how he could help his child get a work station.

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Auntie thought for a moment and said, "Old Yan, from what you said, Section Chief Li must have a very remarkable relative?"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Of course. Don't you think that the person who can give Moutai and that kind of cigarettes is not an ordinary person?"

The third aunt said seriously: "Then we must do a good job for Section Chief Li. This is not difficult. The key is that it can solve the problem of one workstation for our family. With one more worker, our family can be better off. You work alone to support our family. It is really hard for you. I can't help you, alas."

Yan Bugui said, "Hey, what are you talking about? Aren't we planning to raise all the children? The eldest and the second child can both go to work, so won't good days be here soon?"

The third aunt wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled: "Yes, the children are all grown up."

Yan Bugui comforted her, "Yes, the children are all grown up, so they don't have to work so hard. By the way, old lady, why hasn't Jie Cheng come back yet?"

The third aunt's originally comforting expression changed and she said, "I don't know. Yu Li has not been pregnant in the past few years. I heard that her mother gave her some secret recipe. She has been away for two days. I asked Jie Cheng, and Jie Cheng said she will be back in a few days."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about the young couple. Let's go to bed early. I will go and ask around for Section Chief Li tomorrow. I must make sure that Section Chief Li's affairs are handled well."

The third aunt nodded and said, "Old Yan, Section Chief Li seems to be a good person. If we help him more, he will remember our kindness. If we have any problems in the future, we can trouble Section Chief Li and he will help us. You see, if we do this, we can solve a workstation problem. You can't follow Yi Zhonghai and cause trouble for Section Chief Li in the future."

Yan Bugui said: "Lao Yi, he only shows off in our courtyard. When he comes to the factory, he is a section chief, a state cadre. Lao Yi, a manager in the courtyard, still wants to bully him. He is really ignorant. If Section Chief Li gets angry, he can go to the street office to move to another courtyard. Then if he can't make trouble for Lao Yi in the factory, can't he make trouble for Sha Zhu? He is the section chief of the purchasing department, and Sha Zhu is a cook. If he wants to make trouble for Sha Zhu, then he can make trouble for Sha Zhu. Lao Yi can't figure it out. I won't follow him and make trouble."

The third aunt smiled and said, "Yes, Old Yan, Yi Zhonghai wants to find someone to take care of him in his old age, so he wants to help the Jia family and Sha Zhu. We have children, so we don't need to find someone to take care of us in our old age. We just need to help the children find jobs. Don't listen to Yi Zhonghai."

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Of course I know. Go to bed, old woman. I still have to help Section Chief Li find out something tomorrow."

Li Tianyou asked Yan Bugui to inquire about Ding Qiunan's affairs, firstly, Yan Bugui was born and raised in Sijiucheng, and the Ding family was also considered an intellectual. After all, he was a doctor, and people in Sijiucheng should have heard of him. Secondly, Yan Bugui was also a teacher. Although he liked to calculate, wasn't it because of life? Since he was a teacher, it was easier to inquire, after all, he had contact with more children and more people.

This is why Li Tianyou asked Yan Bugui for help.

Just when Yan Bugui and the Yan family went to bed, Li Tianyou also came to the steel mill.

When the security department at the door saw that the person coming was Li Tianyou, they immediately let him in. After all, Director Yang had said that Li Tianyou would come to drive to pick up the supplies today.

Nowadays, people are extremely excited when they hear that they can bring supplies back to the factory, especially when they hear that meat can be brought back. They applaud and cheer even more. So when they see Li Tianyou coming to the factory, they are of course extremely enthusiastic.

Li Tianyou quickly drove out of the steel mill.

Li Tianyou drove all the way to the vicinity of the military compound and stopped the car. After getting out of the car, he put it into the system space.

When Li Tianyou arrived at the gate guard, he was stopped and asked: "Hello comrade, who are you looking for here at this late hour?" As he spoke, he put his hand on the gun.

Li Tianyou looked at the guard's actions and smiled: "Hello comrade, I'm looking for Director Zhang of the General Logistics Department."

The guard listened to Li Tianyou's words, but he didn't relax. He still held the gun tightly and asked, "Who do you do? Why are you looking for Minister Zhang?"

Li Tianyou still smiled and said: "I am Minister Zhang's nephew. You can call him and ask him. Just say that Li Tianyou came to see him."

Li Tianyou looked at the guard who still had a serious expression, and sighed in his heart that the dignity of a soldier was fully demonstrated by the soldiers of our country.

The guard looked at Li Tianyou and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment. We will verify it. If everything is as you said, we will let you in. Now please wait a moment."

After saying that, he called someone and ran to verify it.

Li Tianyou looked at the guard and smiled: "Thank you for your help."

About 5 minutes later, a man came and whispered something in the guard's ear. The guard signaled Li Tianyou that he could go in.

Li Tianyou was brought to a courtyard by the security guard. He knocked on the door and it was opened. A young man opened the door. When the young man saw Li Tianyou, he smiled and said, "You must be Minister Zhang's nephew, Tianyou. I am Minister Zhang's secretary. My last name is Liu." After that, he signaled to the security guard that he could go back.

Li Tianyou shook hands with Secretary Liu and said with a smile: "Then please ask Secretary Liu to show me the way."

Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Tianyou, come with me, Minister Zhang, I was waiting for you yesterday, but you only came today and I was still angry just now."

Li Tianyou smiled and said: "I am old, so it is good for me to get angry more, which can promote blood circulation."

Secretary Liu also broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, thinking, what kind of talk is this?

Secretary Liu brought Li Tianyou to the door, knocked on the door and said, "Minister, Tianyou brought it to you."

A voice came from inside the door: "Humph, you still remember to come to see me, come in."

Secretary Liu opened the door, invited Li Tianyou in, and then closed the door and left.

Li Tianyou looked at Zhang Fuwang who was sitting there smoking, and said with a smile: "Uncle, anger hurts people, just smile more, you have to give me the baby later, don't wait until you can't hold the baby anymore and let me despise you."

Zhang Fuwang was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked when he heard this that he cursed: "You little bastard, you don't even have a wife, and you still want me to have a grandson. You'd better find me a daughter-in-law as soon as possible."

Li Tianyou sat opposite Zhang Fuwang with a smile and said: "Uncle, I'll make tea for you." Then he poured the existing tea.

Zhang Fuwang felt distressed when seeing Li Tianyou's action.
