The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Minghui, that old man was so shameless just now. He asked for help like this, like this..."

Liu Aiguo didn't finish his words, and was mumbling to himself how to describe Yan Bugui.

"Shameless, huh?"

Liu Minghui replied with a smile. He was also amused by Yan Bugui's thick skin.

"Yes, yes, yes. If it were in the village, it would have been kicked out long ago."

Liu Aiguo said with disdain.

Although Liu Aiguo has been in the village for more than 20 years, he is not completely ignorant. Usually, when Liu Wu goes to the commune, he will follow him. He has long been familiar with the ways of the world.

Liu Minghui took Liu Aiguo back home. It was already late and it was getting dark.

"Dad, you're back."

When he entered the house, he saw his son yelling. Liu Bowen was the only one in the living room. Through the door to the kitchen, he could see Yu Li busying herself inside.

"Oh, my baby son, come here, let daddy hug you."

Liu Minghui walked up to him with a smile, picked up Liu Bowen, teased him for a while, and then said to Liu Aiguo.

"This person is my uncle, do you know that?"

Liu Minghui introduced Liu Bowen very carefully. Liu Aiguo smiled when he saw this. He also had a child, about the same size as Liu Minghui's.

"uncle."

Liu Bowen shouted fearlessly.

At this time, Yu Li heard the sound and came out of the kitchen.

"Back, is this?"

Yu Li had never met Liu Aiguo, but she might have forgotten. They should have met before when Liu Minghui took her back to Liujia Village.

"This is my cousin, the son of my uncle. Let's eat here tonight. Cook more. I'll treat Liu Haizhong to a drink."

Liu Minghui, who was teasing his son, turned around and said something.

"Okay, then I'll cook two more dishes." Yu Li didn't ask why. She responded and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"Hey, just eat something casually, don't bother your sister-in-law too much."

When Liu Aiguo heard that he wanted to cook two more dishes, because he knew the food standard of Liu Minghui's family, which was much better than that of Liujia Village, he didn't want to spend money, so he stopped Yu Li immediately.

"Don't be polite, big brother. Please sit down first."

Yu Li smiled, didn't take it seriously, and turned around to go back to work.

Liu Minghui also advised: "That's right. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, how can I let you go hungry? You should take a rest first. I will go and find a blacksmith for you."

Liu Minghui expressed his opinion without letting it be refused, then stood up and walked towards the backyard of the courtyard.

"Second uncle, you are back so late."

On the way, Liu Minghui met Widow Qian from the Intermediate Court, who greeted him warmly.

"Yeah, just got back."

Liu Minghui smiled and nodded, then looked at the little girl next to him who looked about seven or eight years old and asked curiously.

"Hey, this is your child, what's his name, has he gone to school yet?"

When Widow Qian heard someone asking about the child, she immediately smiled and patted the little girl on the head: "She's seven years old now. She's going to school this year. Hurry up and call someone."

The little girl was hit by her mother, and immediately nervously imitated her mother and shouted: "Hello, Uncle."

Hearing this, Liu Minghui felt as if he had aged a lot, and immediately said with dissatisfaction.

"Why call me Uncle? It makes me sound old. Just call me Brother."

Hearing this, even Widow Qian laughed, because Liu Minghui was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year, and he was actually called "Second Uncle". This was really a bit amusing.

Qin Huairu was standing by the pool, still washing clothes that she would never finish. When she saw Liu Minghui and Widow Qian talking and laughing, she immediately became unhappy and started smashing the clothes.

Because she wanted to get close to Liu Minghui before, but no matter what she said, Liu Minghui always acted perfunctory. Now he treated Widow Qian like this, so of course she was unhappy.

Qin Huairu thought, Liu Minghui wouldn't like this type of person. She is not bad, so why can't she attract Liu Minghui?

Just as Qin Huairu was thinking, Liu Minghui had already passed the central courtyard and came to the door of Liu Haizhong's house, shouting at Liu Guangtian who was squatting at the door.

"Liu Guangtian, is your father home?"

Liu Guangtian was stunned, and at first he shouted unhappily: "Second Uncle."

Then he shouted into the house, "Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2 is looking for you?"

This scene made Liu Minghui feel as if thunder had struck. The Liu family was really weird. How could a son call his father like that?

Soon, Liu Haizhong came out and asked Liu Guangtian, who was standing beside him, "What are you doing here? Section Chief Liu is here. Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Liu Guangtian was very afraid of Liu Haizhong and started to explain immediately.

"No, it's nothing."

Liu Guangtian spoke tremblingly, as if he was afraid that Liu Haizhong would suddenly pull out his belt and give him a scolding.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong was very displeased with his second son and immediately scolded him, "You just play all day long. Have you finished your homework? There is no light for you to do it at night."

After hearing this, Liu Guangtian immediately ran back into the house, not knowing whether what he was told was true or not, and went back to do his homework.

After Liu Guangtian left, Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Minghui with a smile. Seeing that Liu Minghui looked stunned, he began to explain.

"This is the way the child is. A good son is made under the stick. He will not be well behaved unless he is beaten. I tell you, I am good at educating children..."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was about to promote his educational method of beating children, Liu Minghui hurriedly stopped him.

"Uncle, my child is still young and doesn't need this kind of education yet. You'd better stop worrying about it."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong showed a look of deep regret, because Liu Minghui did not understand what he meant. But then he thought again, after all, not every family has three children like his. Liu Haizhong cheered up again, thinking about giving the two brats a good lesson when he went back tonight.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's changing expressions, Liu Minghui was confused. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just invited Liu Haizhong to dinner.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately said that it was no problem and he would be there in a moment.

After Liu Minghui left, Liu Haizhong returned to the room.

"Why does Liu Minghui want to see you?"

When the second aunt saw Liu Haizhong enter the room, she asked curiously.

To be honest, the two families didn't have much contact with each other normally. Except for the occasional time when the second aunt went back to exchange some eggs, she and Yu Li communicated quite often.

Liu Haizhong sat down carelessly, and then said nonchalantly: "I don't know, but Liu Minghui is a cadre after all, so of course I have to go if he invites me."

Liu Haizhong was initially unhappy about the fact that Liu Minghui, a young man, was an old man in the courtyard just like him. He even wanted to make things difficult for Liu Minghui, but the second aunt reminded him that Liu Minghui was, after all, the section chief of the steel rolling mill and could not be brought down as easily as Yi Zhonghai.

So now, when Liu Haizhong faces Liu Minghui, his main purpose is to make friends with him. He also wants to make progress in the steel rolling mill.

"That's right. I think maybe he wants your help."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong waved his hand, stopped chatting with the second aunt, told her not to cook for him, picked up a bottle of Erguotou and went out.
