The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

The reason why Liu Haizhong gave up the idea of ​​asking Qin Huairu to act as a matchmaker was indeed for his own baby. But it was not only because he was worried that Qin Huairu would hook up with his baby son, but more importantly, his wife's words woke Liu Haizhong up: his baby son was already 18 years old, and it would be time for him to get married in two years!

Regardless of Liu Guangqi's character, he was indeed good at studying. Last year, he successfully passed the entrance examination for a technical secondary school and became a cadre upon graduation, which greatly improved Liu Haizhong's reputation. During that period, the Liu family members walked with a breeze. This also made Liu Haizhong, who was already partial to his eldest son, even more extreme and put all his hopes and thoughts on Liu Guangqi.

Liu Haizhong is not worried about his eldest son's marriage. After all, it is not difficult for a technical secondary school student to find a wife. The only thing that worries Liu Haizhong is the house. His house is not big, and he can't let his eldest son live with his family after marriage!

In fact, Liu Guangqi was a technical secondary school graduate, and he was a high-quality talent in that era. The state took care of him in all aspects, including housing allocation. However, housing allocation is generally the responsibility of the employee's unit, that is, the unit to which Liu Guangqi was assigned after graduation would provide him with housing.

Although Liu Guangqi attended a technical secondary school that also involved heavy industry, he majored in metallurgy, which was not close to the steel mill, so he certainly would not be assigned to the steel mill after graduation. As for the courtyard where Liu Haizhong lived, and even all the courtyards nearby, except for some old residents, the ownership of most of the houses was basically in the hands of the steel mill.

In other words, if Liu Guangqi was to be assigned a house, let alone the courtyard where his family lived, it would be impossible for him to even be closer to home. How could Liu Haizhong, who always regarded his son as his life, accept such a result?

Liu Haizhong was extremely worried about his eldest son. After being anxious for several days, he finally came up with a solution. In addition to housing allocated by the company, urban residents can also rent a house on the street. Liu Haizhong, who was "high-ranking in front of others and respected in the community", naturally could not let his "old baby" rent a house, so he set his sights on the two rooms left by the deaf old lady.

Liu Haizhong thought that he could rent the house of the deaf old lady first. When Liu Guangqi graduated, he could buy out the public housing. He could buy the house from the street office and give it to Liu Guangqi to live in. In this way, even if his eldest son got married, he could live with him.

Liu Haizhong had a good idea, but the problem was that although his family had five people, the second and third children were still too young, and the Liu family did not meet the requirements for renting a house. Moreover, Liu Guangqi would be assigned a job after graduation, and as a high-quality talent, the factory would definitely give him priority in housing allocation. According to national policy, Liu Haizhong could not buy the deaf old lady's house.

Liu Haizhong was forced to look at He Pingan. Liu Haizhong knew that He Pingan had a good relationship with Director Wang of the Street Office, so he wanted to ask He Pingan to intercede for him and rent the house of the deaf old lady through the back door.

Liu Haizhong gave up the Qin Huairu line for this reason. He knew that He Pingan didn't like Qin Huairu, and he was worried that after He Pingan knew that he and Qin Huairu were too close, He Pingan, who already had a problem with him, would probably ignore him even more.

Of course, this alone was far from enough. After all these years of getting along, Liu Haizhong knew clearly that He Pingan had never been a generous person, and this time he was asking He Pingan to help him for a big favor. His own jar of old wine alone would definitely not be enough, so he was prepared to spend a lot of money.

"My dear, please find our passbook! I need it later!" For the sake of his precious son, Liu Haizhong was ready to risk it all.

"Old man, why are you looking for the passbook?" Liu's wife looked at Liu Haizhong, who looked distressed, and asked in confusion.

"Gifts!" Liu Haizhong didn't want to talk more and just perfunctorily replied to his wife.

"Didn't you say you would ignore Qin Huairu? Why are you giving her a gift again?" The Liu family's wife didn't like Qin Huairu in the first place, and she was quite dissatisfied when she saw that her husband was giving gifts to others.

"It's not Qin Huairu, it's He Pingan!" Liu Haizhong said impatiently

"He Ping'an? He Ping'an doesn't like us, and the He family is not short of money. Are you sure he will let you be a cadre?" The Liu family's wife looked at Liu Haizhong suspiciously, worried that he would be deceived.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that I went to He Ping'an to ask for an official position? It's Guangqi's business!" Looking at his wife who was not on the same channel as him, Liu Haizhong said unhappily.

"Guangqi, what happened to him?" Liu's wife was frightened by Liu Haizhong's words.

"Don't think too much. It's about Guangqi's future. After you reminded me a few days ago, I realized that Guangqi is already old enough to get married. But our house is too small and there is no room for him to live in. I decided to buy the two rooms of the deaf old lady!" Seeing that his wife was frightened, Liu Haizhong hurriedly revealed his plan.

"Boss, I think you are thinking the wrong way this time. You know better than me what He Ping'an's attitude is towards our family. How could he agree to help? In my opinion, you might as well go and ask Qin Huairu to introduce you to Deputy Director Li. Since that Li can get along with Qin Huairu, he must not be a serious cadre. He will definitely take our money, and then we can ask him to help transfer Guangqi to the steel rolling mill, so that you and your son can have someone to take care of you." After saying that, the Liu family's wife looked at Liu Haizhong complacently.

"You are the only smart one, and everyone else is a fool! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Our Guangqi studied metallurgy. Why did you ask him to go to the steel mill? To swing a sledgehammer with me?" Liu Haizhong looked at his wife as if she were a fool.

"Our Guangqi is a cadre, how can he swing a sledgehammer!" Liu's mother only knew that her precious son was a cadre, and other apologies were beyond her understanding.

"We are all workers. I am a blacksmith and I am treated like a master. If I go to a fitter, I can only be an apprentice! This is called professional matching, do you understand? Our son studied metallurgy. Only by going to a metallurgical plant can he put his knowledge into practice. If Guangqi is transferred to a steel rolling mill, he can only barely hold the status of a cadre and can't do anything. After a long time, he will be useless!"

Although Liu Haizhong was uneducated and wanted to be an official all day, he had no cultural background. But he had some basic knowledge, especially when it came to his son's future. Seeing his wife's confused look, Liu Haizhong didn't want to explain to her and said directly:

"Okay, stop wasting time with me. I can't possibly harm my own son! Go get the passbook. I need to get the money back before they get off work!"
