"I know you are smart enough, otherwise I wouldn't tell you the news now." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Am I the smartest woman in this courtyard?" Yu Li said with a smile.
"Don't be so beautiful, that's out of the question. Everyone knows that the smartest person in the courtyard is the widow." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Why is the widow so smart? Isn't that shameless?" Yu Li said.
"In this year and age, the widow's family has the highest living standard in the courtyard. The whole family doesn't wear patchwork clothes, and they all eat for nothing. How can they live such a good life if they are not smart." Yan Jiecheng said.
"If you calculate this way, you can really say that Qin Huairu is smart." Yu Li said.
"You are definitely smart, but your knowledge is a bit limited, and your intelligence is used to deal with men. Unlike you, you can use it for business in the future." Yan Jiecheng said.
The two of them couldn't do anything else, so they just lay on the bed and chatted about whatever came to mind. When Yu Li got up the next day, Yan Jiecheng woke her up after she came back from exercise.
What happened in the courtyard was just some fun. After understanding it clearly, Yan Jiecheng stopped paying attention to it.
Now the focus of life is still on Yu Li and the work in the steel rolling mill. Yan Jiecheng is the first child in two lives. He cannot treat childbirth as a normal thing like people nowadays. He is busy giving birth to children all day long.
Yu Li supplements nutrition, exercises with her, and pays attention to the changes in the mood of the pregnant woman.
There are a lot of things to do in the steel rolling mill when I come back from a business trip. The excellent process operations from the Tianjin Exchange Institute need to train the operators here. The process improvements of Yan Jiecheng, Liu Shitou, and Hu Zi have also stopped for a long time. Now that they are back,
After finishing the basic work in the technical department, you still need to continue doing it.
At the weekend, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li decided to go to Lao Yu's house first to thank Yu's father for his efforts when Yu Li changed his apprenticeship. Although Yu's father was helping his daughter, Yu Li was already a member of Lao Yan's family, and Yan Jiecheng always wanted to express his gratitude.
A quick thank you is not.
The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two large front doors and two bottles of Xifeng wine, and then went to Lao Yu's house.
"Xiao Yan, you can come just as you said you would. You have brought so many things here, why are you so polite?" Dad took the things first and then said.
This time, the person who came to receive the gifts was changed. Dad Yu liked to smoke, drink, and play chess. He didn’t perm his hair probably because perming is not popular nowadays. This old Yu family couldn’t be related to Uncle Yu, who would do crosstalk in the future.
Before the wedding, Yan Jiecheng brought over cigarettes and alcohol, and Dad Yu showed off his father-in-law's profile. He didn't show his displeasure at being cheated on Xiao Baicai. Now that time has gone by, Dad Yu can no longer pretend, and he enjoys cigarettes and alcohol more than food and drink.
"Isn't this the matter of Yu Li's transfer as an apprentice? I'm sorry to trouble you. This is Yu Li and I'd like to express our gratitude to you. It's also our sincerity." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Jie Cheng, didn't you say you don't bring cigarettes and alcohol when you come here? Why did you buy cigarettes and alcohol for your dad, and also bought Daqianmen? Do you think he is a Daqianmen smoker? Just buy some tobacco leaves and roll them up.
Come on. Xifeng wine, your dad can just drink 50 cents per catty of loose wine. If you don’t let him drink more, it’s not like you don’t know what he looks like after drinking." Yu Ma said.
What Yu Mom said made Yu Dad, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li very embarrassed. Yu Dad chose to remain silent in response, and Yan Jiecheng chose me not to speak.
Yu Li said: "Mom, you don't think this is because dad is busy because of my affairs. I thought I would buy it for dad once to make him happy. We will not buy these again in the future."
Dad Yu said solemnly: "That's right, this is all the wish of my daughter and son-in-law, and we can't live up to their good intentions."
"Mom, what were you talking about in such a lively manner before we came here? Tell us." Yan Jiecheng wanted to divert Yu Mom's attention.
"Let's talk about it again. It's really not easy for Yu Li's cousin's family. They are originally in the countryside. There are many children in the family, and life is tight. Now that they are sick, the family is even more difficult. Now they have to borrow money and food.
Already." Yu Ma said seriously.
"Mom, is there a problem at home? Yu Li and I still have some, if we need you to get them from Yu Li," Yan Jiecheng said.
"Fortunately, I have it at home. I just feel that it is not easy for cousin Yu Li's family. The poorer you are, the more children you have, and the more children you have, the poorer you are. Now that you have six children, you can't even afford food, and you don't want to see a doctor when you get sick.
When I couldn't hold on any longer, my minor illness became a serious one, and now I'm hospitalized in the city." Yu's mother said with an ugly face.
"Mom, do you need us to go to the hospital for a visit?" Yu Li said.
"You don't have to go, they will go back after staying in the hospital for two days." Yu Ma said.
"Sister, my cousin came back with money, food, and clothes from our house." Yu Peng said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all over. Yu Li comes over to help me pick vegetables. Those of you who want to play chess can play chess, and those who want to go out can go out and play." Yu's mother said.
"Okay, let me play chess with dad. Why isn't Haitang at home today?" Yan Jiecheng said.
"Haitang made an appointment with her classmates to go out to play today and won't be back until noon," Dad Yu said.
After having dinner at Lao Yu's house, Yan Jie Cheng and Yu Li took the bus to the department store.
Yan Jiecheng asked: "Yu Li, do you have many relatives in the countryside? Do you come here often? I see that your parents are a little worried."
"Most of our relatives live in rural areas. They came quite often in the past few years, but I haven't heard of them coming all the time this year," Yu Li said.
"Then your family usually has a pretty tense life."
"I was nervous in the past few years, but I'm much better now. But when relatives come, our family will have a tense time," Yu Li said.
The current situation is that if a family lives in the city and has several relatives in the countryside, they will always encounter people who come to visit them. There are some well-educated relatives who come here when they really encounter difficulties. In this situation
Help means help. But there are also some people who think that those who earn wages in the city, have food supplies, and lack everything in life. Those who habitually come here to take advantage are difficult to deal with. Those who come here from afar have to be responsible for food, clothing, etc.
There is a round trip fee, and you have to take some back with you when you go back.
If you live a difficult life, if you don’t give, you will be accused of being forgotten. When you become rich, you will not care about your poor relatives. You will also be poked in the back by your neighbors and laughed at. When you come here, you will rarely have an empty hand.
Those who went back all distributed their rations to poor relatives who were not richer than themselves.
Yan Jiecheng said: "Yu Li, you can ask your dad privately when you go to work tomorrow. If you really need it, our tickets and money are all with you. You can just take it yourself."
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow. Now that my dad is the only one making money in the family, he must not be well off," Yu Li said.
