Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

He also remembered a saying from later generations: Money is for women to see, not to spend, and if you have money, you should decorate yourself first.

Li Feng looked at himself and didn't know how to spend money on himself anymore. His current bicycle, watch, and clothes without patches were almost the ceiling for men of this era, if not the best.

Just as he was daydreaming, Yu Li said, "Li Feng, I saw a lot of melon seeds and other things in the side room. Can you finish them? Don't let them go bad in the long run?"

"Oh, what you're talking about! I'm a truck driver at a steel mill. You know what a truck driver is, right?"

Yu Li's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "You, you're already a driver at such a young age, I never thought!"

"Haha, not bad."

"You are too modest, aren't you? Driver, what a great job! Don't you know how many people envy this job?"

"You haven't told me why you got so much dry stuff."

"Oh, I haven't finished yet! I'm a truck driver. I went on a mission a few days ago. I can't tell you the exact place. I mailed it back from there."

"Don't think it seems like a lot. I have a lot of friends. If everyone shares a little, it will be gone."

"Ah? Then how much are you losing? These aren't even enough for your annual salary, right?"

"Hey, what are you thinking? I came all the way here to help get it back, who would want to take it for free?"

Yu Li nodded and said, "Oh, I thought it was given away for free."

"Give it away for free?! I don't have that much courage. Even if I give it away for free, few people would be willing to take it."

"Ah? Why is this?"

"Haha, there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. If there is, it must be something that is being planned against you. Think about it, is this the case?"

"Do you know anyone who has given gifts? Why did they give gifts? Did they ask for something?"

Yu Li thought for a while and said, "Oh, I think I understand something!"

"That means that people who give gifts have some purpose. You... wouldn't bring things to others for no reason, right? Apart from anything else, moving these things around is not an easy task. What's your purpose in bringing them back from so far away?"

Li Feng smiled and said, "You can think about it slowly, but you are not allowed to tell others."

After the two finished their meal, Yu Li cleaned up the table and prepared to continue working.

Li Feng said, "It's a little late today. You can come back to clean up after 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I'll be back tonight, and I have to help clean up the house tomorrow."

Yu Li put down her tools and said, "Okay, then I'll go back?"

Li Feng said, "Wait a minute, well, these leftovers will go bad if left here, if you don't mind, take them back."

When Yu Li heard this, she felt a little excited and said, "Isn't this bad?"

Li Feng scratched his head and said, "It's not nice to give away leftovers. So please help me throw them away, or they will be spoiled by tomorrow's meal!"

"Ah? No, don't get me wrong, I don't mind."

"Oh, then you can take it back." After Yu Li finished cleaning up, she took the remaining dishes back.

Li Feng quickly returned to the courtyard, thinking, if I let the ghost out to accompany Jia Zhang at night, wouldn't the mood be so high? Hehe, I am really smart.

When he returned to the yard, he saw many women gathered in the yard and said, "Hey, is there any happy event today? Why are you all so happy?"

Aunt Feng laughed and said, "Nothing happy. I was just bored at home and gossiped with my wife in the yard."

By this time, school was over. Banggeng ran back with his schoolbag slung over his shoulder. When he arrived at the front yard, he saw Jia Zhangshi and shouted, "Grandma."

Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Hey, grandma's eldest grandson, what did you learn from the teacher today?"

Aunt Feng also smiled and said, "Banggeng is a child who will definitely have a bright future. This time your Jia family has finally made it."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her mouth almost stretched to her ears as she said, "Your child Xiao Ming is not bad. Although he is young, he knows how to be filial to you, his grandmother."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 1200 points of Jia Zhang's disgust value!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 1000 points of Aunt Feng's disgust value!"

Li Feng has learned something new. He knows what it means to flatter each other on the surface but curse each other in secret. However, it has nothing to do with him. Let them flatter each other as they please.

Anyway, his mood level was rising rapidly, and he was happier than anyone else.

Li Feng said: "Banggeng is indeed a good kid and will definitely be a leader in the future."

"Aunt Jia, if you believe me, you must train this child well. Putting aside other things, when Banggeng signs and stamps for others in the future, his name must be written beautifully. When others see that the handwriting is so beautiful, their family must be extraordinary."

"Calligraphy should be practiced from childhood, so that it can achieve success in the future. When others see the handwriting of Banggeng, they can know what kind of person he is. This is called seeing the person through the handwriting."

Although Banggeng is still young, he can already understand good and bad words. He is so proud that his little head is raised to the sky.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 2000 points of Jia Zhang's pride! Multiply by 10"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 3000 points of Jia Geng's happiness value!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 5000 points of Jia Geng's happiness value!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 8000 points of Jia Geng's happiness value! Multiply by 10."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 5000 points of Aunt Feng's disgusting value! Multiply by 10."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully obtained 5000 points of Aunt Feng's perseverance! Multiply by 10."

Aunt Feng thought tirelessly: Isn't it just writing? When Xiao Ming comes back, I will let him write too, and then I will slap him in the face.

Li Feng was delighted as he watched his emotion value keep rising. He thought to himself: It’s still easier to earn emotion value from children!

Seeing that Jia Zhang didn't seem to take it seriously, he said, "Aunt Jia, please don't take it lightly. The teacher, Third Uncle, is back. Ask him to see if what I said is right."

Yan Bugui entered the hospital and just heard a few words. Not knowing what was going on, he looked at the third aunt.

The third aunt repeated what Li Gousheng had said before, and he nodded and said, "That's right. Although talent is important, hard work is also very important. If you want to stand out, you have to study hard. Writing well is only one aspect. At Banggeng's age, it's the best time to practice calligraphy."

Li Feng also nodded and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. The couplets in our courtyard over the years were all written by the third uncle, right? How about the calligraphy? Isn't it good?"
