Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Everyone in the Chen family, young and old, got up.

Chu Rongguang got up and washed. After washing his face, his young face looked so tender that water could be squeezed out of it in the morning sun.

"Here, have some of today's fried dough sticks. Eat more. If you want to eat anything else, go to the street and buy it yourself later." Wang Lanxiang picked up the fried dough sticks and put them in Chu Rongguang's bowl, saying with concern.

"Thank you, Mom." Chu Rongguang started eating with big mouthfuls.

"What are you thanking me for? Come, have some more soy milk." Wang Lanxiang said, and then she took out a clean bowl and poured some sour-smelling soy milk for Chu Rongguang.

Chu Rongguang frowned as he looked at it, "Mom, I don't want it. I don't want to eat this."

"Hmph, you're so picky. It's good enough to have something to eat." Chen Gong said dissatisfiedly.

Chen Gong didn't sleep well last night, and there are dark circles under his eyes.

Chen Gong couldn't sleep because he was unwilling to accept the fact that his dignity as the head of the family had been completely lost.

"It's none of your business if you eat your own food. Everyone has their own preferences." Wang Lanxiang immediately started to protect her child.

"As soon as you got the job, you immediately went to file a report to ask for a house. Housing is already tight at home, don't you think you can be sensible?" Chen Gong was still unwilling to let Chu Rongguang go and had to regain some face from Chu Rongguang.

The best thing to do is to suppress Chu Rongguang, so that you can save your face.

"I don't plan to stay for too long, don't worry." Chu Rongguang snorted unconvinced.

"Fourth brother, I've finished eating. You can send me off. After that, you can go to the street office to get a certificate and write a report." Chen Li said tactfully when she saw that the noise was about to break out again.

"Well, Dad, I'm going to school too." Seeing this, Chen Xingliang immediately slipped away.

Chu Rongguang washed his hands, took the "letter of introduction" issued by the beautiful secretary of the Military Control Commission in the countryside and went out. Chu Rongguang's household registration was not yet completed, and this "letter of introduction" was something that could introduce Chu Rongguang's identity.

Seeing everyone leaving one by one, Zhao Yanmin was left with only her and her parents-in-law. She didn't know whether to leave or not.

Zhao Yanmin felt embarrassed. This old man couldn't put on a bad face in front of his son, and he felt humiliated, so he wanted to curse at them?

No matter how bad his son is, he is still the son of them. What's the point in telling them?

But her husband Chen Xingguo flattered her and said, "Dad, they are still young and ignorant. Don't worry, I will talk to them later. How could they do this? The fourth child is fine, but the fifth and sixth children are also ignorant and wild."

"Ahem...Xingguo, you are the eldest brother. If you want to teach your younger brothers and sisters, you should teach them in person. What's the point of saying these things behind their backs?" Wang Lanxiang said angrily.

"Mom, don't I just want to make my dad calm down? Look, this has made my dad angry. What if something bad happens to him?" Chen Xingguo said angrily with a pout.

"You are probably hoping that I will get angry and do something bad, right? You didn't say anything in front of them just now. You are a wise man after the event, and you are not a good person. You are not honest."

"Why didn't you say it in front of them just now? You are talking behind their backs. You are a mean person. Do less of these things in the future. You'd better take care of yourself." Chen Gong glared at his eldest son.

Chen Gong can educate his children however he wants. The younger ones must respect the older ones, but the older ones must also care for the younger ones.

Now Chen Xingguo is saying bad things about his brother and sister behind their backs. If the younger ones find out one day, the brothers in this family will no longer be blood relatives, but enemies.

Disharmony among children is mostly due to the immorality of the elders.

Using the love for one child to attack another is not Chen Gong's style, and Chen Gong disdains to do so.

What I don’t want even more is that my own children will be treated like enemies. Children born to the same parents should be blood relatives.

Chen Xingguo was confused, so Chen Gong scolded him. Otherwise, if this kid did the same thing in the future and his whole family followed suit, what would happen?

Chen Xingguo wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to say it.

What else can I say?

What else is there to say?

Zhao Yanmin looked at her man's mean look just now, and he ended up eating the melon leftovers. She was very angry and secretly pinched the flesh on Chen Xingguo's waist.

"Ouch!" Chen Xingguo felt pain and looked at Zhao Yanmin.

But Zhao Yanmin glared at him fiercely, and Chen Xingguo's foot was stepped on by Zhao Yanmin again.

On the other side, Chen Gong had already walked out and went to work without waiting for Chen Xingguo.

"Mom, I have classes in the morning, so I'll leave first." Zhao Yanmin said, and then she went out.

Chen Xingguo and Wang Lanxiang were left staring at each other. Chen Xingguo looked depressed, while Wang Lanxiang just said, "It's your fault!"

.........

After Chu Rongguang sent Chen Li to school, he promised to pick her up after get off work, and then went about his own business.

Chu Rongguang came to the street with a "letter of introduction".

This side of the street is also a courtyard with two entrances. The power of the streets nowadays is quite strong, and the people who manage these streets are all from the Military Control Commission.

There were even fully armed men guarding the door. Only after seeing Chu Rongguang's "letter of introduction" did the guards at the door let him in.

Chu Rongguang followed the direction given by the security guard, walked to the door of the office and knocked.

A middle-aged man's deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

Chu Rongguang walked into the room. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a military uniform. He looked quite tall, and his eyes and brows showed the seriousness and righteousness of a soldier who had fought in a war.

"Hello, I'm from Chen Gong's family at No. 28, Nanluoguxiang. I'm the fourth child in their family. I just came back from Nanshan Village. I took my uncle's surname." Chu Rongguang handed his letter of introduction to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Oh, so that's the case, Chen Gongjia, then our Chen Ying is yours..." the middle-aged man looked at Chu Rongguang's letter of introduction and asked.

"My second sister." Chu Rongguang said. His second sister Chen Ying happened to be a street clerk.

But this clerk was just a handyman, so she had no say on serious matters.

For example, Chen Ying cannot have anything to do with work-related matters.

"Hello, my last name is Fu. I am the director of the military control committee who has been temporarily transferred to this street. You can just call me Lao Zhou. A few days ago, when you were still here, your second brother-in-law Sun Yifan and your second sister came to me and told me about you."

"Originally, your household registration is not in the city yet, and you don't have a diploma, so it's a bit difficult."

"But yesterday we got a call from the steel mill, saying that you meet their recruitment requirements and that they would like to arrange for you to be a member of the security department of their factory. What do you think?" Lao Fu said.
