Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

Wang Mantang took off his reading glasses and put them on the table.

"Zhu Zi and Hui Fen both come back late recently, so you don't have to save any food for them, just eat it at the construction site!"

"I'm so busy all day long, not even at home, not even taking care of my kids!"

Wang Mantang took a bite of the steamed bread on the table, then drank a mouthful of porridge from the edge of the bowl: "After so many years, I finally got a big job, I have to do my best. There is still land behind this machinery factory, I want to take this opportunity to improve the residential area. There is no work for this dilapidated ancient building team. Zhuzi is the deputy team leader, he must take up the responsibility!"

"Alright, hurry up and eat. Even eating can't stop you from talking. You have ten more to say to me than I say one!"

Wang Mantang smiled and said nothing. Instead, he lowered his head and started eating quickly, thinking about the blueprint in his heart. After finishing his meal in a few bites, he wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I'm done. Ya'er, when you're done, come to my study and tell me more."

"I understand, Dad!" Wang Guoying hadn't even finished half of the porridge in his bowl.

Sun Danniu shook her head and smiled, "Your father has this impatient personality. He was like this when he was young, and he hasn't changed at all even when he's old!"

"It's said that it's hard to change a person's nature. If you ask my dad to slow down, he might not be used to it!"

"That's true, let him be!"

After finishing his meal and putting down his bowl, Wang Guoying stood up to help Sun Danniu clean up the dishes, but was stopped: "Don't worry about this, your dad is still waiting, and I have to go find Mendun and Xiaopaozi. They didn't come home after dinner. I don't know where they went."

After covering the vegetables with a net, the mother and daughter went out together. Sun Danniu walked to the gate of the courtyard and shouted at the top of her lungs.

……

On the Nanluoguxiang side, Li Xuewu returned to the courtyard. The scene was still the same. The old man was wiping the bicycle at the door, which was not dusty after riding it all day. People in groups of three or four were chatting under the grape trellis in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

In the middle, Jia Zhang still saw Li Xuewu looking indifferent, but Bang Geng took the initiative to stand up and greet Li Xuewu: "Uncle Li, you're back!"

"Well, I'm back. I've been working here for more than a month now. Are you adapting well?"

"It's OK. It's much easier than when I went to the countryside. Now I'm learning how to repair cars from a master!"

"That's good. Study hard and try to master the maintenance and driving skills as soon as possible. Our factory will be buying a batch of new cars next year. Don't fail to learn by then, or you won't get a chance!"

When Banggeng heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Really, Uncle Li? Then I have to hurry up and learn it well."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Okay, then you guys continue to rest, I'll be over there!"

Qin Huairu, sitting on the bench under the grape trellis, looked at Li Xuewu's departing back with resentment and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This guy hadn't come to see her for a long time.

This woman's youth is really just a few years. Qin Huairu is now almost 40 years old. Although she still has charm, she is no longer as radiant as before.

In the past, she would satisfy her craving every now and then, but now she has simply put it aside. If they had not lived in the same courtyard, Qin Huairu even suspected that she had been forgotten long ago. Although she felt resentful, but when she looked at her son and daughter, she felt that it was all worth it.

Banggeng is already 19 years old and has grown up. Last year, he asked Li Xuewu for the recruitment quota. Since the three-year period in the countryside had not yet been reached, he could only trust him and ask him to wait patiently. Once the period was reached, he returned to Beijing and joined the machinery factory, becoming an apprentice in the large vehicle team.

Drivers are still quite popular these days. Once you have completed your apprenticeship, not only will you have a high salary, but you will also receive subsidies when you go out driving. You can also make some money from outside and then marry a wife. You will be content then.

I turned around and looked at Xiaodang who was leaning against my side. The 13-year-old girl has grown up and is now in junior high school. I hope she can be admitted to a high school or technical secondary school so that she doesn't have to go to the countryside.

As for Xiao Huaihua, Li Xuewu and the old couple over there are taking care of her, so Qin Huairu doesn't have to worry about her.

When I entered the backyard, I heard Qin Jingru shouting, "Go, go, go. It's so hot and you're sweating all over. Don't get close to me!"

Li Xuewu looked over curiously and saw Qin Jingru pushing their leader Li Hongbing far away with one hand. Li Hongbing was still struggling to throw himself into Qin Jingru's arms.

"Where have you been, little brat? You're all sweaty, like a water monkey!" Li Xuewu walked over, grabbed Li Hongbing by the back of his neck and pulled him aside.

Li Hongbing pouted and said angrily: "Dad, look at my mom. She only cares about my sister and doesn't care about me at all!"

"How old is she? How old are you? Why are you still fighting with her?"

The relationship is because of this matter. It seems that the son feels threatened and wants to seek comfort from Qin Jingru. But look at yourself, you are sweating all over and emitting a sour smell. It would be strange if she lets you get close to her. Even when her husband is sweating at night, Qin Jingru will stay away from her and let her get close to her after the sweat stops.

However, seeing Li Hongbing's aggrieved look, Li Xuewu smiled and took out five yuan from his pocket: "Here, call Xiaodang and Huaihua to go to the store at the corner to buy some popsicles. When I came here just now, it seemed that it was not closed yet. It may be closed later if it's too late!"

Hearing that there were popsicles to eat, Li Hongbing immediately put on a smile and reached out to take the money, but Li Xuewu raised his hand and said, "Wait, listen to me, this is five yuan, I want one hundred popsicles at five cents each, and the rest of the money is for you three as pocket money. Take fifty to send to grandpa and grandma, and bring the remaining fifty over here. Is that clear?"

Li Hongbing counted on his fingers: "Dad, five yuan is exactly one hundred popsicles, there will be nothing left!"

"Then I don't care. You go and discuss it with Xiaodang Huaihua. The amount I want cannot be less! Go!" After saying that, he handed over the money.

"Oh!" Li Hongbing took the money with a depressed look on his face, and ran quickly towards the intermediate court.

Everyone else in the courtyard laughed. The second uncle fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and said, "Okay, this is a good idea. It will teach them that if they use their brains and bargain, they will not suffer any loss in the future."

"Hahaha, exercising is good. Not only can I practice dealing with people, but I can also do some math!" Li Xuewu responded with a smile.

He took the one-month-old daughter from Qin Jingru's arms, sat beside her, and then said to Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, I remember that you have many disciples and grandchildren in the factories around us, right?"

"Well, there are quite a few. I haven't accumulated much in my life, but I have many disciples and grandchildren. Now some of my grandchildren have even accepted disciples!"

"That's good, that's it! Go back and say hello to them. If anyone is willing to come to our machinery factory, I will give them the paperwork."

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up: "Is our factory going to expand again? That's right, there are too many backlogs of orders!"

Li Xuewu nodded: "Indeed, we have to expand, but this expansion is a big move, we need to add several thousand people! We can't have all of them apprentices, we have to recruit some mid-level and senior technicians!"

"That's easy. I will go and inform them tomorrow. If the workshop is expanded, can I still be the workshop director?" This is the issue that Liu Haizhong cares most about.
