Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter

Yi Zhonghai smiled at Liu Haizhong in front of him and changed the subject: "Oh, it's Tuanzi's uncle. Didn't he notify everyone as soon as he passed the exam? Remember to come over for dinner later! His mother bought some meat."

"Okay, okay, Lao Yi, I'll be there in a little while to take advantage of you."

Liu Haizhong pointed at the bicycle in his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll push the bicycle into the yard first!"

Everyone immediately made way.

After setting off the firecrackers, Yi Zhonghai chatted with the neighbors in the yard for a few more words, and then everyone dispersed.

The kitchen outside Yi Zhonghai's house was busy and the steaming atmosphere made people feel warm. Sha Zhu, wearing an apron around his waist, stood beside the stove, skillfully wielding a kitchen knife, cutting the ingredients into even pieces and then putting them into the pot to stir-fry. His movements were skillful and quick, and every cut and shovel was full of strength and skill.

As he cooked, a rich aroma of meat spread out, making people salivate. This aroma not only attracted Yi Zhonghai's family, but also drifted to the homes of the surrounding neighbors, attracting children from every family to come over and look curiously. They gathered around the stove, their little noses constantly inhaling, trying to catch the tempting meat aroma.

Seeing these lovely children, Sha Zhu smiled brightly. He took pieces of delicious meat from the pot and stuffed them into each child's mouth. The children danced with excitement, with delicious meat in their mouths and happy smiles on their faces. Then, they shouted happily and left in all directions, leaving Sha Zhu to continue busy preparing dinner.

Yi Jiale took the small bowl of meat that Zhu Ge had served, and sat on small stools with Lin Xiong and He Zhiyuan to eat it with their hands.

After the meal, Yi Jiale followed his parents to distribute two eggs to each family. Although there was no banquet, it was also very good to give two eggs to each household.

Every family in the courtyard got two eggs, except the Jia family.

Seeing that every family had two eggs, Jia Zhangshi sat at the door with a gloomy look on her face, as if someone owed her something.

However, the three members of the Yi family didn't want to pay attention to her and simply ignored her.

Seeing the empty bags of the family of three and their figures going back, Jia Zhang angrily carried the small stool back home, cursing, "Who cares about those two eggs? As the eldest uncle in the yard, he is leading the disunity. He should be fired for not doing anything."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang helplessly: "Mom, please stop talking and eat!"

"We can't afford to offend the Yi family."

Jia Zhang wanted to refute something, but when she thought about Yi Zhonghai's current position in the factory, she wondered what would happen if Yi Zhonghai made things difficult for her daughter-in-law and she lost her job. So she shut up, sat at the table obediently, and started eating the steamed bun.

Liu Haizhong family;

Liu Haizhong looked at the two eggs on the table, and suddenly looked at his busy wife: "Mother, what do you think about me asking Yi Zhonghai to help take care of our third child?"

The second aunt paused while picking vegetables and turned to look at her husband: "Guangfu! Okay, but will Lao Yi agree?"

The second aunt stood up and approached Liu Haizhong, beaming with joy, and said, "As long as Yi Zhonghai is willing to teach seriously, our third son will definitely be able to become an engineer in the future."

"The difficulty lies in getting Yi Zhonghai's consent, but I will test his attitude."

...Here, the old couple of the Liu family are discussing how to pave the way for their third son in the future.

On the other side is Yan Bugui’s home;

"Dad, you have to help me talk to the old man and let me be his apprentice. I want to be an engineer in the future."

"Dad, you have to think about it carefully. If you want to help, you have to help me. I only have a temporary job now. I'm married now and I'm old enough to support the family."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiecheng fiercely: "What bullshit are you talking about? Didn't I find you that temporary job?"

"Don't play any tricks on me, I have seen through your intentions a long time ago. I am a small temple here, and your father is also a lowly person. I am just a big boss in this courtyard. What ability do I have?"

Yu Li pulled her man's sleeve, and Yan Jiefang turned around and walked back to his room.

Yan Bugui just watched coldly. After he found a job and a wife for his eldest son, he got a wife and forgot about his parents. He always hung out with questionable people like Xu Damao. Even though he already had a wife and a job, he didn't even give him some money to supplement the household expenses. Instead, he moved to another room with his wife.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng and his wife leave, Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiefang and said slowly, "Your father will sacrifice his old face to ask your uncle, but there must be a price to pay..."

Yan Jiefang knew what his father had not said, so he immediately said, "Dad, as long as I have a job, I will definitely be filial to you and mom in the future, and I will definitely pay you back."

Yan Bugui nodded with a smile.

……

At night, at Yi Zhonghai’s house;

It's the big dinner table, with people clinking glasses and having a great time. After some lively eating and drinking.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui exchanged glances, and then Liu Haizhong spoke first: "Master Yi, you are an engineer now, your craft cannot be lost."

Yi Zhonghai smiled, knowing what they meant, but did not respond directly. Seeing this, Liu Haizhong continued, "My boy Liu Guangfu is particularly interested in machinery, and he spends all day at home tinkering with those things. If he can learn the craft from you, he will definitely have a bright future."

Yan Bugui also quickly agreed: "Yes, Master Yi, my second son Yan Jiefang is also smart and quick to learn. You should accept them as your apprentices so that this craft can be passed on to future generations."

Yi Zhonghai put down his wine glass and said slowly: "I have to think carefully about taking in apprentices. After all, this is related to the inheritance of skills, and it cannot be decided rashly. However, if you children are really interested, you can first study on your own and let me see and learn. As for whether they can become formal apprentices, it depends on their performance and efforts."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui smiled and nodded in agreement. They knew that this was Yi Zhonghai's euphemistic rejection, but at least there was still hope. So, they all said that they would let their children behave well and strive to get Yi Zhonghai's approval. Besides, they were all old foxes and would definitely give gifts in private.

After the show, Yi Jiale looked at his father in confusion: "Dad, why did you agree to them?"

"That's right, Lao Yi, you don't even show any sign of gratitude, you just open your mouth and expect me to accept you as your disciple?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two. I'm just making an excuse!"

"Besides, are you sure they won't say anything? They are all old foxes, if they do say anything, they will definitely do it in private."

"Dad, our family doesn't need those things, and we don't lack them. If you think it's ok, then it's ok. If not, then it's not ok. Our family doesn't lack those trifles." Yi Jiale said proudly in a low voice.

The first lady also agreed with her daughter: "You already have enough apprentices. You can do whatever you want!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Don't worry! I have my own ideas."
