Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

If it had been in the past, the thin-skinned Han Shanhai would have been cornered by the two gentlemen and would have had no choice but to agree no matter how reluctant he was.

However, today, Lao Han came with a standard answer.

Han Shanhai sighed heavily and smiled bitterly, "Uncle One, Uncle Three, it stands to reason that we should set up a few tables to celebrate this double happy event.

But you two also know the situation of my family. My children are not in good health and we need money urgently. I have squandered all my family's wealth by looking for this job, and I still owe a lot of foreign debts..."

The central idea in Lao Han’s words is just two words: crying poor.

This was naturally the standard answer given under Han Li's deliberate guidance, pretending to be poor.

This will prevent the family from suffering from the schemes of the beasts in the yard when Han Li is not around.

Before Yan Bugui and the others could respond, Han Shanhai continued, "Well, when my eldest son gets married, I will definitely prepare a grand banquet and ensure that everyone will eat and drink well."

After hearing what Han Shanhai said and realizing that he couldn't gain any advantage, Yan Bugui decided not to continue to pester him.

"Okay, Lao Han, let's make it a deal. When your eldest son gets married, if the banquet is not well organized, everyone will flip the table."

Han Shanhai smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. When my eldest son gets married, I will make sure the banquet is beautiful even if I have to sell everything I have."

"Old Han, you guys are busy now. I'm still watering the flowers here."

After getting the promise, Yan Laokou didn't bother to say anything more and turned around to get back to work.

Without Yan Bugui as the pioneer, Yi Zhonghai also felt that the Han family really couldn't come up with the money now, and if he continued to pester them, it would seem that he, as a big boss, was not a decent person.

"Lao Han, from now on, whether you are in the hospital or in the factory, come to me if you have any problems. I will definitely help you if I can."

Yi Zhonghai said this not out of kindness, but because he wanted to temporarily establish a good relationship with Han Shanhai so that he could find an opportunity to severely screw the Han family.

Han Shanhai smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Yi Zhonghai smiled in a friendly manner and said: "We are all neighbors in the same courtyard, so we should help each other and tide over the difficulties together."

Feeling very uncomfortable, Lao Yi didn't say any more words and just waved his hand and left.

"Old Han, see you later." The words that Liu Haizhong was about to say were snatched away by Yi Zhonghai. Liu Haizhong was not familiar with Han Shanhai before, and he couldn't think of what to say for a moment, so he just said hello and left.

Seeing everyone disperse, Han Shanhai let out a long sigh: "Huh~ Why do I feel more tired than the last day at work?"

However, when he thinks about his eldest son getting married and having children in the future, and his second and third sons going to high school, taking the college entrance examination, and becoming cadres, that scene is so beautiful that Old Han can't stop smiling every time he thinks of it.

At the same time that Old Han returned home, the news that Han Shanhai had joined the steel rolling mill spread quickly in the courtyard. While everyone was shocked, they also clearly realized that the Han family had really established itself!

Han Shanhai got a proper job at the steel rolling mill and moved to the east wing of the front yard. Who wouldn't be jealous of such a life?

Everyone in the courtyard was envious, jealous and hateful, especially Jia Zhang, who kept cursing viciously and was so angry that she ate less at dinner.

Unlike the Jia family in the middle courtyard who were hearing curses, the Han family in the outer courtyard was in a happy mood.

The Han family’s dinner consisted of three dishes and one soup: braised fish, fried potatoes and meat, scrambled eggs, and bean sprout soup. The staple food was two-grain pancakes.

As expected, under the impact of double happiness, Mr. and Mrs. Han did not blame their eldest son for spending money lavishly. Instead, they felt that they should have a good meal today to celebrate.

"The job of a fitter in a steel rolling mill is not difficult. I can definitely learn it in three months." Han Shanhai first reassured his family and began to look to the future: "Our family's life will definitely get better and better."

"Wife, Boss, we are happy today. Let's have a drink to celebrate."

The wine was bought by Han Li at the entrance of the alley in the evening. After all, Old Han also liked it. He usually couldn't afford to buy it, but he had to arrange it today.

After drinking a glass of wine, Han Shanhai looked very enjoyable, and he was still squinting his eyes to savor the taste of the wine.

After living for almost forty years, it was not until today that he felt that he was truly living and living with dignity.

He has a job, is respected, has a virtuous wife, many children, and good wine and food when he returns home.

This is the happy life that Lao Han has always dreamed of, and his dream has come true today.

The whole family had a lot of food, including three dishes and one soup, and their mouths were full of oil. Their bellies were full and they all felt a little sleepy after eating.

This was also the best meal Han Li had had since he came here, except for the half roast duck sponsored by Yi Zhonghai for free.

"Second and third brothers, you two must study hard. Today I heard someone say that those high school graduates who work in the steel mills are basically middle and senior workers, and their monthly salary is more than double that of ordinary workers like us. Middle and senior workers can eat meat and eat out every now and then."

Han Shanhai was in a good mood after drinking, and took the opportunity to teach his son.

He heard a lot of things in the factory today, gained some knowledge, and understood more and more the importance of reading.

Not to mention studying, getting into college and becoming a cadre, even if you graduate from junior high school or high school, you are considered an intellectual and are sought after wherever you go.

People like Han Li, to put it nicely, have only an elementary school diploma, but to put it bluntly, they are semi-illiterate.

Li Yumei also chimed in: "Second and third brothers, you two have to fight for our family's reputation. Study hard and become cadres after graduation. Then who in the courtyard dares to bully our family?"

Seeing the whole family united as one, Han Li felt very relieved. The general direction of the family's development had been determined, and his future days would be much better.

When the old Han couple were educating their two young sons to be motivated, a warm voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Old Han, are you home?"

Han Shanhai was slightly startled, then quickly responded.

The visitor was a resident of the backyard, and he had no contact with the Han family.

After chatting for a while, the man finally stated his purpose: he wanted to ask about work at the steel mill.

Han Li was watching with amusement from the side, with empty hands, was this the attitude of asking for favors?

In order to give the old Han couple a chance to exercise, Han Li not only kept silent, but also took the initiative to take his younger brothers and sisters to the next door.

After all, no matter how honest Lao Han is, he can't be so honest as to give his job to others.

Next, the Han family became lively.

People came in waves, and their ultimate goal was nothing more than to inquire about the work at the steel rolling mill.

Even people from the courtyard next door were recruited.

After all, the importance of a good job is self-evident no matter what era.

Han Shanhai felt that he had spoken more today than he had in the past month.

Who could have thought that Old Han, who was an invisible man yesterday, would become a celebrity in the entire courtyard today.

Just when Old Han was busy dealing with a group of neighbors, Xu Damao came to his door.

"Brother Han Li, my dad asked you to come to my house."

Xu Damao's calling him "Brother Han Li" sounded very unnatural because he always called him by his name before.

He suddenly changed his words this time, firstly because Old Xu had specifically reminded him of this, and secondly because Han Li had shown his might and beaten Jia Dongxu yesterday, which made Xu Damao a little afraid of him.

Following Xu Damao to the Xu family's backyard, Xu Wood did not hesitate and directly handed the 20% commission he had prepared in advance to Han Li, saying generously: "Xiao Han, brothers should settle accounts clearly, you count carefully."

Han Li smiled innocently and began to count the money. It was a full two hundred thousand. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Boss Lou is really generous!

He arranged a job for me and also gave me money. What a good person!

Looking at the complacency between Xu Wude's brows, I believe that he will gain even more benefits this time.

"Xiao Han, if you come across something good when you go to the countryside in the future, come to me and Uncle Xu will help you make a fortune."

Precisely because he was thinking about the next cooperation, Xu Wude did not have any ulterior motives regarding Han Li’s commission.

Han Li pretended to be excited and excited as if he had never seen so much money before: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I will spend more time looking for good things in the countryside in the future."

Xu Wude nodded, thought for a moment and then warned: "Xiao Han, ask your father to be more careful of Yi Zhonghai, don't believe everything others say, don't be sold out and help others count money. Come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

After all, they were going to make money together in the future, so Lao Xu felt it necessary to give Han Li some advice, which was also a gesture of goodwill.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu. I will tell my dad."

After leaving Xu's house, listening to the ghostly cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers in distress, Han Li stroked the money in his pocket, and his mood was particularly good;

Because for him, today is not just a double happiness, but a triple happiness!
