Siheyuan: Since 51

"pretty close."

Father Chu said leisurely, and then smiled playfully.

"This kid is still playing tricks on me, but he is determined, cautious, and knows how to hide his weaknesses. Even if he is not, he is still worth training."

Chu Chen slowly sat down beside him and nodded slightly.

"At first, I helped him because he was a genuine person. Later, I found that he was very capable in the purchasing team. In addition, after what you said, and because he was set up by Dong Xiuqi and Li Huaide, I took the opportunity to transfer him to the Propaganda Department."

Father Chu took a puff of his cigarette and praised: "Just go with the flow, you did a good job before."

Leave Chu Chen's house.

Lin Zhiyuan hurried on his way with his head down, full of doubts in his mind.

Chu's father's behavior is somewhat puzzling and thought-provoking.

As for the gun ban, it is nothing more than an excuse.

If the fundamental problem is not solved, armed conflicts are inevitable.

If you want to fight, you can use a stick or a brick, you don't necessarily need a gun.

Moreover, the country has just been established and the situation is unstable. Keeping all citizens in the army is also a way to prevent trouble before it happens.

……

Cross-courtyard, living room.

Everyone ate and chatted, mainly focusing on the trip to the Chu family, which made Wang Aimin blush.

Lin Zhiyuan lifted the door curtain, walked into the room, and raised his eyebrows, "Wow, it's quite lively, what are you talking about?"

Lin Cuilan couldn't hide the smile on her face. "What else can we talk about? Ai Min's marriage."

Qin Huairu frowned slightly, "You came back so early, haven't you eaten yet?"

Then he waved his hand, "I just had a meal, come over and have something to eat."

Lin Zhiyuan did not refuse and walked forward directly. He glanced at the coffee table and saw meat and egg soup, and couldn't help but smile.

"What a sumptuous meal today!"

Lin Zhihao chuckled, "Aunt said that Brother Aimin is going to get married soon, so she's happy today and added some dishes."

Lin Cuilan smiled and waved her hand, "Yes, I'm happy today. When Ai Min gets married, I'll feel completely at ease!"

"Aunt, you can't just sit back and relax. Brother Jun and Aimin will give you a bunch of grandchildren, and you will be busy!"

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan squeezed in, sat next to Qin Huairu, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

"Let them have the baby, let them have the baby, why would I be afraid of that?"

Lin Cuilan smiled brightly and changed the subject, "Zhiyuan, let alone the two of them, Xiao Shufan can't do it alone, you and Huairu should also have more children."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Lin Zhiyuan didn't know what to do for a moment.

What's going on, a rebound?

My bullet hit me?

Picking up the egg drop soup, he smiled and evaded the question, "No hurry, no hurry, just wait a few years."

When talking about Xiao Shufan, Lin Zhihao said he had something to say, and he curled his lips and muttered.

"Xiao Shufan has a poor learning ability. I teach him every day when I come back. I have called him uncle hundreds of times, but he has never called me once. He always happily agrees every time."

"puff!"

Lin Zhiyuan just took a sip of soup and almost spit it out.

After coughing twice to calm himself down, Lin Zhiyuan changed the subject.

"You have the nerve to say that he has poor academic ability. How about you? How are your grades now?"

Lin Zhihao couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't he talking about Xiao Shufan?

He was stunned for several seconds, unable to recover. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, his little brain worked rapidly, and after a few seconds, his eyes rolled around.

"Well, big brother, aren't we supposed to develop sports and improve people's physical fitness? I'm sure I'll be first in sports."

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled and asked, "What about cultural courses?"

Lin Zhihao's face suddenly turned bitter, "Brother, this..."

After a moment's silence, he continued, "At least I have made progress."

Lin Zhiyuan took a bite of the dish and said casually, "Really? Tell me in detail."

"Last year, when I first entered school, I was ranked only around 30 in my class. At the end of the year, I was in the top 30. This summer, I even ranked 18th. I've been making continuous progress!"

As he spoke, Lin Zhihao raised his eyebrows and a hint of pride appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at him and thought to himself, "This brat is smart, but he just likes to play. Fortunately, Huairu is strict. No, I have to put more pressure on Shi."

His heart moved and he gave a wicked smile.

"Good, keep it up. According to the trend, you will be able to be in the top ten by the end of the year. If you can't make it, it means you haven't studied hard in the second half of the year. Then, I will have a good talk with you."

"what!"

Lin Zhihao’s eyes widened. What was the trend? How come he was going to be in the top ten?

He had been trying to lower his presence the entire night, but Qin Huaiwu became happier and happier as he listened, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

"Zhihao, come on, brother-in-law's beating hurts!"

Lin Zhihao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Brother Xiaowu, you...is this really okay?"

Qin Huaiwu winked and said, "Okay, why not? I'm reminding you."

"Humph!"

Lin Zhihao snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Cuilan, then glanced at Wang Aimin, his eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind.

"Brother Xiaowu, Brother Aimin is getting married soon. What about you? When will you take me to meet my sister-in-law?"

After hearing these words, Qin Huaiwu was stunned, and the chopsticks he was using to pick up food hung in the air.

"I...you little brat, what do you know?"

Qin Huairu raised her eyebrows and interrupted, "Yes, Xiao Wu, what did you and Xiao Tingting say?"

Qin Huaiwu said bitterly, "Sister, after the New Year, I'm only nineteen, I'm not old enough, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? We can make the appointment in advance. Besides, time flies by so fast. I have been married to your brother-in-law for almost two years..."

Qin Huairu talked on and on, and even Lin Cuilan would add a few words from time to time.

Qin Huaiwu really wanted to slap himself twice. He had held back from saying anything the entire night. When dinner was about to end, he blurted out something and brought trouble upon himself.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyuan pursed his lips at first, but then seemed unable to help himself and laughed out loud.

It's not easy to chat tonight. Bullets can turn, and whoever opens his mouth will be set on fire.

After dinner, the living room was cleaned up, and Lin Zhiyuan hugged Qin Huairu and got into bed.

Nestled in Lin Zhiyuan's arms, Qin Huairu was still a little worried, "Brother Zhiyuan, do you think Xiao Wu and Xiao Tingting have a chance? Will something unexpected happen after a long time?"

"There is definitely a chance."

Lin Zhiyuan first affirmed, then sighed: "As for the accident, it's hard to say, but I think they get along well."

Qin Huairu stretched out her hand and drew circles on Lin Zhiyuan's chest, saying depressedly, "Oh, it would be better if he was one year older. Or if he was in the village. The city is very strict, and in the village, a year older is not a big deal."

"Don't worry about it, just let it go."

As he said this, Lin Zhiyuan winked and laughed evilly...

Silent all night.

The next day, the north wind was howling.

Lin Zhiyuan tightened his coat and followed the group to the steel mill.

Xu Fugui came forward and started a conversation, "Zhiyuan, the weather is getting colder. Can I take a break while I go to the countryside to show a movie?"

"Well, it's time to slow down."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, "However, you have to be prepared. The Propaganda Department will have a big move in the near future. When the time comes, don't be anxious or panic. If you have any questions, come to me for private consultation."
