Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Since Han Li was not sure whether the pocket story book could be sold, he only copied 10 copies.

Then he found Li Zhaodi and told her, "Zhaodi, take the needle and thread and sew along the edge I drew."

"Brother Han Li, is this right?" Li Zhaodi handed over a pocket storybook with the edges sewn on.

She has been doing needlework for many years and had studied for a few years. She was clever and skillful, so she thought of sewing the edges of books to make it easier for people to read storybooks.

Han Li took the storybook and looked at it. The stitching was fine and neat, very perfect.

"That's right." Han Li nodded and praised: "Zhao Di, you are so good at sewing. You will definitely be selected when the textile factory recruits workers in the future."

Han Li was not saying this casually. After all, the textile factory would expand its recruitment if it became a stable job, and it would certainly give priority to skilled workers who were good at needlework.

Looking more closely, Li Zhaodi's handwriting is also neat and beautiful, as if it were printed.

Thinking about it carefully, Han Li remembered that he had heard that Li Zhaodi had good academic performance, but later her father died of illness and her family could not afford to support her studies, so she dropped out of school.

Soon, Han Li remembered that Goudan’s second sister Li Pandidi also dropped out of school (nine-year compulsory education was only implemented in 86).

Suddenly, the idea of ​​opening a cram school came to my mind.

Naturally, this cram school was not opened by Han Li, a "primary school graduate", but by his two younger brothers.

Children from poor families like Li Zhaodi and Li Pandi cannot afford to go to school, and many of them will end up being blind all their lives.

If you have the opportunity to learn to read and write, even if you learn one word a day now, you can probably learn 100 to 180 words in a year.

Perhaps knowing these one hundred or eighty words will completely change their destiny.

While teaching others, the two younger brothers can also consolidate their knowledge, improve their courage, and exercise their eloquence and logical skills.

Li Zhaodi was obviously embarrassed by the compliments, and two red clouds appeared on her face due to shyness.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little off, Han Li quickly changed the subject: "Zhao Di, we didn't spend much effort on this pocket storybook. If we can sell it, we can sell it. If we can't sell it, we can give it away. Don't feel too burdened."

After saying this, he turned and left Goudan's house.

After returning home, Han Li continued reading.

Not long after, Li's mother came and asked, "Big brother, you are not in a hurry to go to the countryside these two days, right?"

"I have to stay for two more days." Han Li asked tentatively: "Mom, are you tired of me?"

In the past, Han Li would go back to the countryside after staying in the city for two days, but this time he had stayed in the city for a long time.

Soon, Han Li received a cold stare from Li's mother: "What are you talking about? I was thinking that if you are not in a hurry to go to the countryside, I will find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for you."

Li Yumei felt that her eldest son was a man of his own ideas, so it was natural for her to ask for his opinion on such an important matter in her life.

"Mom, let's talk about this after a while." Han Li thought for a moment and then explained, "I'm still young, and it's time for me to learn skills. Once I learn skills, it will be easier to find a marriage partner."

"That's fine. When you go to the countryside, you can look for girls yourself. I think the girls there are pretty good."

Li Yumei thought of finding a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her son after she heard the women in the courtyard joke that her eldest son was obsessed with getting married.

This was of course because of Han Li's performance at the whole hospital meeting last night, which made everyone think that he was obsessed with getting married. As the rumor spread, it became that he was obsessed with getting married.

After Li's mother took the clothes to change and went to the front yard, Han Li also began to seriously think about the relationship between himself and Qin Huairu.

First of all, it is undeniable that Qin Huairu is indeed very suitable to be a wife; she is loyal to her marriage and her family, and can be considered a very good and virtuous wife.

However, Han Li felt uncomfortable after experiencing Qin Huairu's betrayal.

If Qin Huairu had been more sincere and less scheming when she broke off the engagement.

Then, Han Li will definitely marry Qin Huairu, and no one can stop her.

However, it turned out that when Qin Huairu broke off the engagement, she had absolutely no feelings for Han Li at all.

Secondly, the current situation is very embarrassing, as everyone in the hospital knows that Qin Huairu is Jia Dongxu's fiancée;

If Han Li openly tries to steal Jia Dongxu's girl, he will inevitably be criticized by everyone. Not only will he be in a lot of trouble, but his reputation will also be ruined.

Unless the Han family is willing to move away from Courtyard No. 95 for Qin Huairu.

Of course, leaving is unrealistic. After all, Han Li is still thinking about buying a house, becoming a formal resident of the courtyard house, and activating the system.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, marrying Qin Huairu is obviously not a wise choice.

However, Han Li was particularly pleased with Qin Huairu's obedience. In addition, he disliked the Jia family and did not want them to live a good life, so Han Li did not want to see Qin Huairu marry Jia Dongxu.

So, the question is: Han Li doesn't want to marry Qin Huairu, but he also doesn't want to let that bastard Jia Dongxu get away with it. So how should he arrange for Qin Huairu?

Completely confused, Han Li could only sigh in melancholy: "How can I achieve both in this world, not disappoint Huai Ru and train the birds at the same time?"

Although he didn't expect a solution that would satisfy both parties, Han Li figured out a clever plan to alienate Yi Yinbi and the Jia family.

After lending money to He Yushui for medical treatment this morning, Yi Zhonghai's reputation will definitely increase significantly, making many people blindly believe in him.

At this time, it is very necessary to suppress the arrogance of Old Wall Lamp and create some trouble for Old Silver Coin, so as to prevent Old Silver Coin from using his good reputation to do bad things again.

In short, we can’t let these beasts live too comfortably, because once they have free time, they will always think of causing trouble.

And last night Yan Jiecheng suddenly jumped out to testify, which was also a key link in Yiyinbi's layout.

As the old saying goes, if you don't seek revenge, you are not a gentleman. Although Han Li has never thought of being a gentleman, he must teach the Yan family a lesson so that Old Man Yan will remember it.

Just as Han Li was thinking about how to deal with the Yan family, he suddenly heard a crisp bicycle bell, and then a familiar voice came: "Hey, you are quite motivated, you know how to study."

Han Li looked up and quickly recognized that the person was his cousin Han Jinsheng.

"Brother Jinsheng, please sit down." Han Li quickly stood up and greeted him: "I'm just killing time because I'm bored."

"It's a good thing to read more books." Han Jinsheng pushed his bicycle into the yard, took two bags of things from the handlebars and handed them to Han Li, then looked into the house: "Where's my aunt? Is she out?"

"In the front yard." Han Li took the things and explained, "My family has too many people to live here, so I rented the east wing and the ear room in the front yard."

Han Jinsheng walked over and sat down, nodding and sighing, "Your family should have rented another house a long time ago."

"Brother Jinsheng, please sit down first. I'll go get you a glass of water."

Han Li greeted him and went in to pour some water. When he put the things down, he took a quick look and was surprised to see that the gift this cousin had brought was quite a big one.

Pastries, sugar and tea are all practical things, which are basically equivalent to the three-piece set of rice, flour and oil in later generations.

Han Li thought about his cousin's family. The two families lived quite far apart and usually only visited each other during weddings, funerals or festivals.

My cousin is here today, probably because he wants to help our poor relatives.

After all, since my cousin came here by bicycle, it is not difficult to see that their family conditions are much better than Han Li's.

I remember that this cousin was a postman, which was one of the eight major officials in the future and had a very promising future.

Suddenly, Han Li had an idea: My cousin is here, so this is another reason to have a good meal!

It is unacceptable if we don't treat relatives with good food and drinks when they bring such valuable things with them!

After pouring the sugar water and chatting for a while, Han Li thought about going to the front yard to inform his mother and ask her to prepare lunch in advance.

"Brother Jinsheng, please sit down for a while. I'll go to the front yard to call my mother."

"Let's go together. I just want to get to know the place."

Then, the two of them walked towards the front yard.

As soon as he passed through the front yard's hanging flower gate, he saw his younger sister Han Xiaoxiao playing at the door of the east wing. Han Jinsheng smiled and asked jokingly, "Xiaoxiao, do you remember who I am?"

Han Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted crisply, "It's a big sugar pot."

"Xiaoxiao is awesome." Han Jinsheng praised happily.

At this time, Li Yumei, who was washing clothes, also put down what she was doing and walked over to greet him with a smile: "Jinsheng is here, come in and sit down."

After letting Han Jinsheng into the house and chatting for a while, Li Yumei took advantage of Han Jinsheng's absence to visit the house and told her eldest son: "You stay at home and take care of your brother Jinsheng. I'll go buy some meat and vegetables."

At this time, Han Jinsheng tried to dissuade her: "Aunt, please stop bothering with cooking. I came here today to ask Han Li for help. I will leave after sitting for a while."

Li Yumei hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Jinsheng, it's a rare visit for you. It would be rude if you don't stay for a meal."

"Aunt, I have something urgent to do and cannot wait any longer. I will come over to taste your cooking when I am free some other day."

After hearing what Han Jinsheng said, Li Yumei thought that he really had something urgent to do, so she didn't want to persuade him anymore and just gave up.

However, Han Li was a little confused. Judging from his cousin's calm attitude just now, he didn't seem to be in a hurry. But due to the consideration of their relationship, he didn't want to expose him.

"Han Li, you don't have anything else to do today, right?"

Han Li shook his head: "No."

"Okay. Let's go now."

Although my cousin didn't say what it was, since they had come to his house, I would go and take a look. If I can help, I will. If I can't, I will just apologize.

Before leaving, Han Li gave Li's mother another reminder: "Mom, the cakes, candies and tea leaves that my brother Jinsheng brought are in the outer courtyard. Please go back and pick them up."

Li Yumei immediately complained: "Jinsheng, come on, what are you bringing?"

"Aunt, this is also my gift, please don't be polite."

Afterwards, Li Yumei took her little daughter to send Han Li and Han Jinsheng to the gate.

Riding on their bicycles, the two quickly disappeared into Nanluoguxiang.

Along the way, Han Li was wondering what kind of favor his cousin wanted him to help with. However, since his cousin didn't say it clearly, it proved that this favor was a little difficult to ask for.

However, based on my memory of my cousin's character, he would not do anything illegal.

"Han Li, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Han Jinsheng didn't wait for Han Li to answer, and began to ask himself: "You look so thin, why don't you go to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot, it's just right for you to replenish your body."

Han Li was completely confused, but he felt touched in his heart: This guy is not just my cousin, he is clearly closer than my biological brother!
