Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

"Technician Zhang, Technician Zhang, I'm the second uncle, wait for me."

On the way home from get off work, Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly heard someone calling him. He stopped the car and found out it was Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong must have gotten off work early in the afternoon, otherwise how could he have stopped Zhang Zhiqiang on the way.

"Second uncle, what's the matter?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked, it must be something shameful, otherwise there would be no need to block him halfway.

"Haha, it's a small matter. I hope Technician Zhang can help answer it."

Liu Haizhong smiled ingratiatingly and bowed to Zhang Zhiqiang, looking quite funny.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. We are all residents of the backyard. I can definitely tell you everything I can."

Zhang Zhiqiang did not refuse and nodded.

In fact, he felt that Liu Haizhong was quite pitiful. He didn't have much brains and was easily used as a gun by Yi Zhonghai. He also had unrealistic dreams every day, such as wanting to be an official or a big boss in the courtyard.

"Haha, then thank you, Technician Zhang. This is what I want to ask, how come you are so capable? You are already a technician in your early twenties."

"I thought if you told me, I would learn it. I don't want to be a technician anymore. I would just be a small official in the factory."

Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

He was not on guard against Zhang Zhiqiang and spoke out everything he was thinking in one breath.

"How am I so great? Read more books, Uncle Er. You should know that books are the golden house."

"Reading more books can improve your abilities. Once your abilities improve, it will definitely be your turn to become an official."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang wanted to laugh. Liu Haizhong actually wanted to be an official. However, it had nothing to do with him. Since Liu Haizhong asked the question sincerely, it would not hurt for him to answer it.

Anyway, what he said was true, and it was definitely none of his business if Liu Haizhong couldn't do it.

"That's not right, Technician Zhang. Look, Uncle San has studied for half his life, but he is still like this."

Liu Haizhong also learned to think and immediately pointed out the loopholes in Zhang Zhiqiang's words.

His words and deeds showed his disdain for Yan Bugui. His monthly salary of more than 80 yuan was more than Yan Bugui's in two months. It could be said that he had the capital to look down on Yan Bugui.

"How can they be the same, Second Uncle? Think about it, what kind of books does Third Uncle read? They are all literature-related books."

"We are all reading books on technology, which is completely different. Just think about it, when your technology improves, it will be easy for you to become an official, right?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked back.

Zhang Zhiqiang himself felt that what he said made sense, not to mention Liu Haizhong.

"That makes sense. Thank you so much, Technician Zhang. I will definitely treat you to a nice meal when I become an officer."

Liu Haizhong said happily that he had thought it would be troublesome to ask Zhang Zhiqiang for help, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to be quite easy to talk to.

"Then I'll go home first, uncle. My wife and kids are waiting for me at home."

Zhang Zhiqiang spoke.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Technician Zhang. You go ahead and get busy."

Liu Haizhong smiled ingratiatingly, nodding and bowing, as if he was facing some leader.

Looking at Zhang Zhiqiang's receding back, Liu Haizhong's heart was filled with heat.

arrive home.

Liu Haizhong was searching everywhere, which made Second Aunt very confused.

"Lao Liu, what are you looking for? Can I help you find it?"

The second aunt followed behind Liu Haizhong and asked.

"Don't talk, I'm looking for my future."

Liu Haizhong made an accusatory remark and continued to search.

"Future prospects? Old Liu, why don't we just forget about it? We are already so old, it's better to not struggle too much."

The second aunt advised helplessly.

"What did you say? Who do I want to be an official for? Isn't it to make you look more respectable in front of the women in the courtyard?"

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about today? I'm going to beat you to death!"

When Liu Haizhong heard that the second aunt dared to say that, he suddenly became very angry and hit the second aunt with his sandbag-sized fist.

The second aunt didn't dare to fight back and could only endure it. Fortunately, Liu Hai had more urgent things to do, so she stopped after hitting him twice to vent her anger and turned around to continue searching.

"Oh, I remember now. It's here."

Liu Haizhong suddenly remembered something and took out a tattered book from under the corner of the table. This was the only book in the house. Last year, the table was unstable, so Liu Haizhong used it to prop up the corner of the table.

"Old Liu, why did you find this crappy book?"

The second aunt had forgotten the pain after her wound healed. Seeing Liu Haizhong’s happy expression, she came over and asked.

"What do you know? To be an official you need to be educated. By then I will be an educated person. Why should I be afraid of not being able to be an official?"

Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes at Second Aunt, feeling that this wife of several decades didn't understand him at all.

"That's it."

The second aunt nodded as if she understood, and then went to cook.

Liu Haizhong reverently opened the book in his hand and read it carefully. After a while, he felt embarrassed.

With his education level of not even having graduated from primary school, he couldn't even recognize many of the words, let alone understand the content.

It happened that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu both came back from school at this time and saw Liu Haizhong sitting at the table reading a book seriously.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things, as they knew very well what level their father was at.

The people Liu Haizhong looked down upon the most were scholars, especially Yan Bugui, who had studied for so many years and was so poor that he urinated blood in one month.

Unlike Liu Haizhong, who can't read a single word, with a monthly salary of more than 80 yuan, he has no problem supporting a whole family and can also save some money.

In front of his two sons, he talked a lot about the uselessness of studying and believed that beatings would make good sons. When he was unhappy, he would beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and when he was happy, he would beat his two sons again.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were also more or less influenced by Liu Haizhong. Their academic performance was not good and they either slept or slacked off at school every day.

Now seeing Liu Haizhong reading a book, the two brothers were so shocked that they thought they were dazzled.

"What are you two brats looking at? Why don't you come here right now?"

Liu Haizhong shouted sternly, scaring the two brothers.

"Dad, please don't hit us. If you do, we will run away."

Liu Guangtian said with a vigilant look.

In the past, when Liu Haizhong beat the second aunt, the second aunt just endured it, which led the two brothers to follow suit.

Later, after listening to Zhang Zhiqiang's words, they ran away as soon as Liu Haizhong was about to take action.

Then Liu Haizhong also learned his lesson. He realized that he had to beat his sons. If they ran away, he couldn't catch them. So he simply locked the door and saw where they would run.

"Who wants to hit you? How do you pronounce this word?"

Liu Haizhong put the book on the table unhappily and pointed at it.

"what?"

Liu Guangtian saw Liu Haizhong asking himself, and walked over, thinking that his father had really changed his personality. Why did he suddenly start reading a book?

"The word is zhi, which means to make."

Liu Guangtian looked carefully and found that he actually recognized the word, so he told Liu Haizhong.

"Well, what about this one?"

Liu Haizhong felt his own progress and studied harder.
