A courtyard house with three entrances and a quadrangle, the backyard, is Teacher Liu’s home.

Wang Gang was in the house fiddling with the kettle to boil water and smoking a cigarette. He was extremely relaxed and felt like he was just at home.

Teacher Liu was washing vegetables in the sink outside by himself. He also specially cut a two-finger-wide strip of fat from the outside, which looked very delicious.

"Teacher Liu, do you have guests at home today?" the neighbor came forward to chat.

Teacher Liu nodded happily, his hands moving all the time, "A kid who graduated this year went to work at the street office. After receiving his first month's salary, he bought some wine and roast duck and came to see an old man like me."

Although it seems a bit pretentious, there is no doubt that the old man is very happy today! After all, his students came to see him with wine and meat, and he was still very satisfied!

"Oh, this is really good! You can tell at a glance that he is a sensible and filial child!"

"Our teacher Liu from Siheyuan has students coming every year during the Chinese New Year, haha!"

"You have many students all over the world!"

Wang Gang glanced outside. The old man was happily greeting and chatting with the increasing number of neighbors who were gathering around. It was quite lively.

Look at the atmosphere of their courtyard house. Wow, their courtyard house is really beyond compare!

"Just sit there and wait for dinner. Today I'll show you my cooking skills!" The old man walked in with a smile and said to Wang Gang who was about to stand up to help.

"By the way, can I drink?"

Wang Gang was delighted. If he hadn't gotten his own building as space, he wouldn't have dared to make such a promise!

"Don't worry, I'll give you a good drink today!"

"Good boy, just wait!" The old man smiled even more. He happily went to the kitchen and started to work.

Although using the space as a drinking hook is a bit of a waste of talent, but no matter what, at least it is useful, right?

Wang Gang, who had nothing to do, simply strolled around the house. The layout of this old man's house was very simple, with just thirty-six simple legs, and they were old legs!

There are portraits of great people on the wall, as well as some awards won in school. It looks quite simple.

These daily necessities all look quite old, and they all belong to one person.

Only during the Chinese New Year, when the children and wives from other places come back, will Teacher Liu's house be lively for a few days. On weekdays, the most common guests who come to the old man's house are his colleagues or students.

After a while, the aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen.

Wang Gang took a deep breath. Hmm, smells good! The old man is quite skilled!

"Hurry up, try my meat." The old man came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes in each hand and shouted to Wang Gang enthusiastically.

"Come here, I'll get the rest!" Wang Gang brushed past the old man and went to the kitchen to get the steamed buns.

He is in the growing stage, so it is impossible for him to be full by eating only vegetables. He must have steamed buns!

......

"Teacher Liu, that's great. With your skills, if you don't want to be a teacher one day, you can be a chef!" Wang Gang gave a thumbs up and praised.

Although this kind of praise is very common in later generations, most people back then were still simple and honest. How could you often hear this kind of roundabout way of praising others?

"You kid, haha! After working for more than a month, you have become much sweeter!" The old man laughed and raised his wine cup, "Come on, come on, accompany this old man for a walk!"

"Go one by one!"

With a "ding~" sound, the wine glasses collided, making a crisp sound.

With a "swish", Wang Gang struck a match and lit the old man's cigarette.

"Good boy, you have become more perceptive! I was thinking that according to your previous temper, you would not be able to do anything in the street office. Maybe it would be a good idea to recommend you to the steel rolling mill.

But it’s pretty good now, you’ve grown up!”

Wang Gang grinned and lit a cigarette for himself. Of course he, a fake cigarette with a replaced cigarette core, was sweet-mouthed!

Perhaps his business experience in his previous life was not enough to support him in climbing high in politics, but at least he could have a solid foundation.

What's more, it is good to be in politics these days, but after a few years, it may not be so good anymore. It is enough to get a position of moderate size and then develop what you are good at.

"Thanks to you, this subdistrict office is unexpectedly suitable for me!"

"The street office in Yu'er Hutong that you went to, is the director called Wang Xiuying?"

"Wow! You know a lot!"

The old man smiled and took a sip of wine, "I know what I know, but it is true that I was her teacher!"

Wang Gang paused. Wow, he really has many students all over the world? He thought that the neighbors in the courtyard were just flattering, just like Yan Bugui from their courtyard.

Now he felt that he had to apologize. The abacus expert in their courtyard was really not as good as the old man in front of him! What a piece of junk, he was so calculating all day long!

“You are this!”

Comrade Wang Gang was convinced.

"Okay, you kid, work hard and get a permanent job soon. Next time Xiao Wang comes to see me, I'll talk to your senior sister on your behalf!"

Wang Gang quickly refilled the old man's glass, then clinked glasses with him from his own cup, "Thank you for your hard work, hehe!"

The old man clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, you are getting more and more slippery!"

He immediately drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the old and the young started chatting about all sorts of things.

Although Wang Gang needed to stretch himself a bit to avoid going too far and revealing some inappropriate topics, he still made the old man enjoyable even if he did so!

After three rounds of drinks, the food on the table was cleaned up and the drinks were also drunk up.

Wang Gang carried the drunk old man to bed like a princess, cleaned up the mess, and then left the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

Of course, he did not forget to inform the old man's neighbors.

It was not until dark that the old man woke up from his bed. "I'm really getting old. I fell asleep after drinking half a bottle!"

An older man smoking a pipe beside the bed saw Teacher Liu wake up and took two sips, "That's because you can't drink!"

"Hey, Mr. Xu, you sent me to bed?"

Uncle Xu rolled his eyes. "I can't move you! It was your student who not only carried the bed for you, but also cleaned all the pots and pans before leaving."

"You are a kind-hearted student, haha!"

Teacher Liu touched his head and smiled.

"Come on, come on, I'm going to go to your place tonight and have a meal! I'm not drinking enough!"

"Let's go, I'm waiting for you!"

Well, another round of drinking!
