Chapter 6 Don't call the shots for me

The problems with the house cannot be tolerated at all.

As long as you let go, you won't be able to live a peaceful life.

People who take advantage will never stop taking advantage of you because they get temporary satisfaction, they will only take advantage of you.

Greed can never be satisfied.

Therefore, this matter must be strangled from the beginning without any room for maneuver.

Cheng Guanli did not want to sit on the bank of the Minjiang River and become a giant Buddha, nor did he use his house to show kindness to others.

What's more, Cheng Jianwen took away the job that originally belonged to him, causing him to almost not be able to come back to the northwest.

When I saw him coming back, I didn't know how to give him up. I asked him to go to the small side room to squeeze in with Jianwu.

Of course this cannot be tolerated.

Cheng Dehai smiled embarrassedly after hearing this.

"Hey, you're overthinking it. You make the decision about the house. Since there's nothing else to do, that's fine. We're worried that something might happen to you when you're out alone at night. Jianwen Jianwu, please take care of it!"

Cheng Dehai drooped his eyelids and turned around to leave dejectedly. Liu Aimei also supported her mother-in-law, Mrs. Cheng, and turned around and left.

Cheng Guanli said: "Grandma II, uncle and aunt please go slowly. I'm sorry. I did drink too much today and forgot to lock the door at home!"

Cheng Jianwu said nothing and packed his things with his mouth curled.

Cheng Jianwen came over and smiled slightly: "Guan Li'er, okay! We haven't seen each other for four years, have you grown up?"

"Oh, Jian Wen'er, don't say that. You are a few months older than me. You are an elder brother. To you, I am a younger brother. I have just returned from the northwest, and I am not returning home in glory. How can I be capable?"

You are good, you are better at pretending than I am, okay, from now on we three brothers will get along slowly."

It was almost two o'clock when brothers Jianwen and Jianwu finished packing and left. Only then did Cheng Guanli firmly close the door of his room.

I looked at both the main room and the small side room in the east room, and all the old furniture and other things in my memory were still there.

Cheng Guanli was very satisfied, it was good, the house was back in such a smooth manner.

Perhaps Cheng Dehai didn't expect that he would come back, so he didn't move the furniture or anything.

His house is the main residence of his ancestors, and the furniture is of high quality.

There are two huanghuali armchairs and a carved huanghuali cabinet in the side room.

In the big house, there are two carved huanghuali official hat chairs and a carved huanghuali Eight Immortals table with inverted horseshoe legs.

Cheng Guanli couldn't tell the year of these pieces of furniture based on memory alone.

Now I look carefully at the encyclopedia in my mind, and it turns out that they are all from the mid-Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, I have them back in my hands.

Other furniture was purchased in recent years and is not expensive.

Just these six items were enough to make him happy.

It's a pity that there was also a carved and painted bed that disappeared ten years ago. If that one was still there, he would be even happier this time.

Cheng Guanli was happy here, but the Cheng family room in the backyard was very angry.

Cheng Jianwen and Cheng Jianwu are too young to squeeze in.

The family's house has three rooms, but Mrs. Cheng occupies one in the north, and Cheng Dehai, Liu Aimei and his wife live in the south.

In the middle is the main room, a place for eating and talking. It is not suitable for a bed, and there is no place to find an extra bed at night.

A few days ago, the family was happily planning for the future. Their family had the most houses in the entire courtyard, and they were planning to arrange Jianwu's marriage after Jianwen got married.

Now that Cheng Guanli has returned, his family has become the tightest family in the courtyard.

Cheng Dehai said angrily: "Jianwen and Jianwu, please put some stools in the front door and roll up your bed to accommodate yourself. It's almost two o'clock, and it will be dawn after a while."

Cheng Jianwen said: "Dad, it's okay to accommodate for one day, but what about tomorrow? What about next month? What about next year? If the house in the factory can't be rented, I won't be able to get married!"

Cheng Dehai said: "You have to find a way to get Guan Li out of Sijiu City, otherwise you will have to wait for the factory to allocate a house and live in the suburbs. It is impossible to live in a courtyard. Just wait, he will definitely go to the machinery industry tomorrow.

If he is looking for a job in the factory, I can help him!"

Cheng Jianwu said in confusion: "Dad, are you still helping him?"

Cheng Dehai glanced at his youngest son, flicked his sleeves and went back to the back room to sleep.

Mrs. Cheng shook her head and said: "Jianwu, use your brain. If your father doesn't help Guan Li arrange a job in the machinery factory, first of all, people will gossip that your brother took his job quota and refused to pay it back. Secondly, he didn't give it back."

There is no way to get him out of the capital. As long as he works in the machinery factory, your father, the workshop director, can find a way to get him to go on a long business trip!"

"Can't he come back after a long trip?"

Cheng Jianwen said impatiently: "Okay, grandma, don't tell Jianwu so much, he won't understand."

"Huh? Brother, can you understand?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep!"

…………

Early the next morning.

Cheng Guanli pushed open the door and stretched in the courtyard, feeling energetic.

Xu Yuzhen from Donghu also opened the door and came out, giving him a thumbs up.

"Well done. Listen to my news today. I'm sure you can meet and talk to the factory flower."

"Okay, thank you very much, Sister Yuzhen."

"Don't always talk to me in terms of you, Taisheng. I'm not an elder. If you treat me like a sister, just call me 'you'."

"Yes, you are much more generous than me. By the way, who will take care of Xiaoxing when you go to work?"

"I usually carry her to my mother when I go to work and pick her up after get off work."

"Oh, that's hard enough."

"Hey, I can still raise the child by myself."

While he was talking, Jianwen Jianwu came from the backyard with dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Yuzhen smiled and said: "Jianwen Jianwu, you go to work so early? Hey, didn't you sleep well at night? You're like a giant panda!"

Cheng Jianwen smiled coldly, "Didn't you get hurt by this guy Guan Li'er? If he came back earlier, we wouldn't have to wait so long!"

Cheng Guanli smiled and said, "Don't say that. If you had moved during lunch, you wouldn't have stayed up all night waiting for me!"

"You locked the door as soon as you came up, and Jianwu and I couldn't move it even if we wanted to!"

Xu Yuzhen on the side smiled and said: "Jian Wen'er, if you really want to move, you should move out a few days ago, so as not to wait until you come back from the ceremony!"

"See, what you said is biased. He didn't tell us in advance when he came back!"

"Then you won't send a telegram in advance to ask. The country has issued a formal statement that anyone who jumps in line can come back. Who doesn't want to go home and stay outside all the time?"

"Hey? Xu Yuzhen, are you done?"

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing that Xu Yuzhen was about to quarrel with Cheng Jianwen, Cheng Guanli quickly came to the rescue.

"Jianwen'er, please stop coughing. I blamed you for drinking too much last night. I'll treat you to a meal some other time!"

Cheng Jianwen smiled coquettishly, "You really need to treat us well!"

"Eh? Doesn't that sound like a backstory?"

Cheng Jianwu immediately answered: "Guan Li'er, my dad said that I will help you find Factory Director Su today, and I will arrange a good position for you. Just wait to get paid!"

"Ouch! This can't be done. We can't let my second uncle worry about it!"

Cheng Guanli didn't want to owe him this favor. Teacher Huang had already arranged work, so there was no need to owe Cheng Dehai this favor again.

Thinking of this, he turned around and ran out.

Cheng Jianwen smiled and said, "Don't go. My dad would block Director Su's door before dawn. He didn't sleep well all night to arrange work for you. I guess he has reached an agreement with Director Su now!"

Cheng Guanli smiled helplessly, "Yes, my second uncle got up really early. I really didn't expect this, but his work will be in vain. I already have a job!"

"What, you have a job? Did you go to the machinery factory yesterday?" Cheng Jianwen asked in surprise.

"That's not the case. I found a job elsewhere. By the way, I'm also preparing for the college entrance examination next year."

"Ah? You..."

"Don't be stunned, go to work quickly. When you two see my second uncle, tell him, stop working, don't make the decision for me, you can choose my own path, I really don't need to worry about it."
