Xu Shiyan knew what Guo Shouye meant, but he felt that the matter was not so absolute.
When girls enter high school, their grades do get worse and worse.
For example, his eldest brother's two daughters, Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu, had good grades in junior high school, but their grades continued to decline in high school.
Xu Jinfeng failed to get into college after re-study for two years. Later, Xu Shixian asked someone to find connections, and finally found a way to send him to a banking school to study for a junior college. After graduation, he was assigned to China Construction Bank.
Xu Jinxiu seemed to have repeated her studies for three years. In the end, her brother-in-law found a way and arranged for her to go to a banking school. After graduation, she was assigned to the Agricultural Bank of China.
Take the two previous examples as examples. When Xu Jinping was taking her high school entrance exam, everyone in her family asked her to take the technical secondary school entrance examination. Basically, they were just like Guo Shouye.
When girls go to high school, they have too many thoughts and find it difficult to study well. Anyway, they just do the same thing.
Xu Jinping was very ambitious and didn't want to take the technical secondary school entrance examination, and the technical secondary schools were not very good in those few years.
Therefore, Xu Shiyan ignored the advice of his brother and sister-in-law and supported his daughter to go to high school.
Because of this incident, the brothers at home were very angry and felt that Xu Jinping was ignorant and disobedient.
I also feel that Xu Shiyan is too spoiled with children and lets them do whatever they want.
Maybe Xu Jinping was holding back some energy in her heart, so her grades were always very good when she was in high school.
Girls study science, and their grades are always among the top three in their grade, followed by a large number of boys. It is impossible to see why girls are not as intelligent as boys.
Of course, Xu Shiyan couldn't say these words.
Guo Shouye's daughter is not his Xu Shiyan's daughter either. It's useless to talk too much.
It happened that Guo Shouye's wine glass was empty, Xu Shiyan took the wine bottle and poured it for Guo Shouye, and the two of them drank and chatted.
As we chatted, we talked about the elderly. Guo Shouye’s parents are both in the forest farm, and they are quite old.
Guo Shouye said that with this money, he would buy a larger house in Songjianghe and bring his parents here to take care of him in their old age.
He also said that his parents were old and not in good health, so he had prepared everything for the old man's birthday.
Hearing this, Xu Shiyan's heart moved, "Brother, can you still get good longevity materials?"
If you can fix it, you can get me one or two pairs, and I'll pay the price."
Xu Chenghou has said it several times, saying that at his age he should prepare for his longevity.
A few years ago, when feudal superstitions were abolished, there were no longer any wreath and shroud shops, or longevity material shops.
Anyone whose family has an elderly person prepares longevity materials in advance, and when the elderly person is gone, they quickly find a carpenter to gather them together.
In the past, there were those whose families were poor and had no money to buy longevity materials. After the person died, they would use mallets and boards to nail a thin-skinned coffin and bury it casually.
Xu Chenghou is old school and doesn't care about these things.
Xu Shiyan also understood that he just didn't have the chance to find someone to talk about it. When he got to this point, he asked casually.
"Shou material? What kind of material do you want? Red pine or sand pine?
I’d rather use red pine. Red pine is best, but sand pine is worse. How thick do you want it? Can it be 4, 5 or 6?"
Guo Shouye laughed when he heard this. Is there anything else that can be done with this thing? Whatever the Forestry Bureau is short of, it will not take away the wood.
For longevity materials, red pine is the best, sand pine is the second best, and white pine is the worst.
The four, five, and six that Guo Shouye said were the specifications of longevity materials.
The bottom is four inches, the top is five inches, and the top is six inches. This is the best material for longevity. Most people buy it in the second, third, or fourth, and some people really can't afford it, so they can use the one, second, or third.
"No, no, don't say four, five, six, two, three, four is fine." Xu Shiyan waved his hand quickly.
The 456 Shou material is too thick and heavy, so there is actually no need to make it so thick. The 234 material is quite good and belongs to normal specifications.
"Tch, what's the big deal? You don't have to worry about this. Leave it to me. I can ask for it from any forest farm director I want.
Don’t worry, I’ll find the best one for you without leaving a single flaw in it.”
Guo Shouye patted his chest and promised that this matter was nothing to him and could be settled with just one sentence.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Brother Guo. I'm still wondering who to contact for this matter." Xu Shiyan laughed.
This is the way to deal with favors. Open your mouth when you need to. If you ask for help more often, you won't have to worry or panic.
Moreover, the more we interact with each other, the closer we get. Isn’t it true that relationships are developed slowly and slowly?
"Come on, brother, let's have another drink." Xu Shiyan picked up the wine glass and touched it with Guo Shouye. They each drank half a glass.
The liquor will be gone in no time. Besides, Xu Shiyan has to go home soon. It's cold and the roads are slippery. How can he go back when he's drunk?
The two of them drank half a bottle of wine, switching glasses, and Xu Shiyan said he wouldn't drink anymore.
It was late, he had to go home quickly, he was still waiting at home.
Guo Shouye saw that he had indeed drank a lot, so he asked Peng Yucui to serve rice to the two of them. They each had some, and then Xu Shiyan said goodbye and left.
“Brother, it’s cold and the road is hard to walk on, so you must slow down.
Well, the matter of uncle and aunt will be taken care of by me, don't worry.
I'm waiting for the Chinese New Year to bring my wife and children over for a visit. Your sister-in-law has been complaining about it several times, but she hasn't seen what your wife and children are like."
Guo Shouye followed him outside the gate to see him off, exchanged a few words with Xu Shiyan, and watched Xu Shiyan leave.
After Xu Shiyan had gone far, Guo Shouye turned around and walked in. He closed the door with his backhand and quickly entered the house.
In the east room, Peng Yucui had just cleared the table. The bowl was soaking in the pot and she was not waiting to be washed, when she was dragged into the east room by Guo Shouye.
"No, Lao Guo, why are you holding me back? Are you drunk and drunk?"
Peng Yucui looked puzzled, quickly wiped her hands on her apron, and followed Guo Shouye into the east room.
"Daughter-in-law, let me show you something."
Guo Shouye dragged his daughter-in-law into the house with a mysterious look on his face, then raised his head and glanced at the door of the west room. His daughter was probably doing homework, there was no movement.
Then he carefully closed the door of the east room tightly, picked up the bag on the ground and put it on the kang, and then took out the money from the bag.
Peng Yucui was dumbfounded, "Lao Guo, where did you get so much money?
Oh my God, did you make a mistake? This is no joke, you will get in."
Peng Yucui was so frightened that her hands shook, and her voice trembled when she spoke.
"Look at you, you are too cowardly. I can usually pull a little, but I don't have the guts to reach out to the official."
Guo Shouye glanced at his wife and said, "Oh, this woman is not good at anything. She will be scared to death when something happens."
"This is given by the Xu family brother. He came here today just to give us this.
Didn't you help him inquire about Clivia seedlings and seeds before? He made a lot of money, and he came here to thank us."
Guo Shouye looked at the bundles of brand-new bundles and grinned, not to mention how happy he was.
"Ah? How much money do Brother Xu and the others earn? Why do they give you so much? Don't talk nonsense. Why don't I really believe it?"
Peng Yucui looked in disbelief. How much money would it cost to give them this bag all at once?
This costs tens of thousands. Can Clivia earn so much money?
