The day ended quickly and Li Lixin felt very fulfilled. Suddenly, he felt that reading was not so annoying after all.

Zhang Zhiqiang and his apprentice walked to the carport, where Li Tiehua and Li Huan were already waiting.

"Qiangzi, come to my house today, I'll make the arrangements."

Li Tiehua said loudly when he saw Zhang Zhiqiang coming over.

"Brother Tiehua, Brother Li, I'm going to eat your food this afternoon."

Zhang Zhiqiang quickly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to each of them, then struck a match and lit one for them, and then lit one for himself.

Li Lixin smacked his lips beside him. He wanted to smoke but didn't dare to ask for it. If he dared to ask for it, his father would probably hit him. So he didn't mention it in the end.

Li Tiehua also had a bicycle. In the end, Li Tiehua took Director Li, and Zhang Zhiqiang took his apprentice Li Lixin, and the four people on the two bicycles sped away.

There are many members of the Li family, and they all expressed warm welcome to Zhang Zhiqiang's arrival.

There were Li Lixin's grandparents, Li Tiehua's daughter-in-law, Director Li's daughter-in-law, and Director Li's youngest son. When Zhang Zhiqiang arrived, he first greeted the two elders, held their hands and talked for a while.

Later, I met Li Tiehua's wife Yu Meili and Director Li's wife Su Rui.

"Brother Li, why didn't you tell me earlier that the two elders were here too, so I could buy some things."

Zhang Zhiqiang pulled Director Li aside and blamed him.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it was only Li Tiehua and Director Li's family, but now there are elders here, and it would be a bit inappropriate for a junior like me to come empty-handed.

"Oh, I didn't expect this. It's okay. Coming here is like being at home. There aren't so many rules."

Director Li patted Zhang Zhiqiang on the shoulder. Thanks to Li Lixin, the two of them can now be said to be a family.

"What are you two whispering about? The meal is almost ready."

Li Tiehua came over when he saw Zhang Zhiqiang and Director Li whispering.

"Isn't this Qiangzi blaming me for not telling him in advance that there was an old man here and wanted to buy something."

Director Li ruthlessly exposed Zhang Zhiqiang.

"What do I think of it? Qiangzi, are you scolding me? This is your home. How can you go back to your own home and take things? Don't do this again in the future. Let's eat."

After saying this, Li Tiehua pulled Zhang Zhiqiang towards the dining table.

Both sisters-in-law, Yu Meili and Su Rui, were quick and efficient, and they quickly prepared a table of food with chicken, duck, fish and meat. After all, Director Li and Li Tiehua had good salaries, so it was okay to have a meal like this occasionally.

Because there were so many people, two more tables were specially combined. First, the two elders were invited to the first seat, and then everyone took their seats in turn.

"Let me raise a glass first. Today is a great day for my son Li Lixin to become his apprentice. Qiangzi will be one of our family members in the future. Let's have a meal together today and get to know each other."

"Li Xin, follow your master and learn well. If you dare not listen to your master, I will beat you to death."

Li Tiehua picked up a glass of wine, stood up and spoke loudly.

Everyone stood up out of respect, except the two elders who stayed in their seats and drank a glass of wine together.

"Li Xin, why don't you toast to your master?"

Li Tiehua scolded.

"Master, drink some wine."

Li Lixin walked up to Zhang Zhiqiang with the wine, and Zhang Zhiqiang drank it all in one gulp.

"kowtow."

Li Lixin was very obedient. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Okay, three will do, hurry up and get up."

Zhang Zhiqiang hurriedly helped Li Lixin up. He was really afraid that someone of similar age would kowtow to him, which would shorten his lifespan.

"Qiangzi, we are all family, so I will call you this. From now on, Lixin will be handed over to you. You can beat him or scold him when necessary, and we will absolutely not have a single complaint."

When Yu Meili first saw Zhang Zhiqiang, she was surprised at how young he was, but she later behaved very calmly and expressed her opinion.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Li Xin is a good kid. I will definitely do my best to train him into a talent."

Zhang Zhiqiang also quickly expressed his opinion and clinked glasses with Yu Meili.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiqiang toasted the two elders and called them uncle and aunt. After all, he was at the top of the generation hierarchy, and it would definitely not be appropriate to call them grandpa and grandma. There was no such thing as a separate issue at the moment.

Li Lixin's grandparents were very satisfied with Zhang Zhiqiang and kept praising him for being a good boy.

After the meal, everyone became familiar with each other and chatted with each other.

"Alas, I heard that the factory has a new deputy director recently, who is in charge of discipline, but I don't know who he is."

Li Tiehua sighed and said, after all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and no one knows what kind of person the new deputy factory director is.

"Who cares? Brother, just do your job well. We can't interfere in the affairs of these big shots."

Director Li is quite open-minded. He suggested that you shouldn’t get too close to the new factory manager. Who knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"What do you think, Qiangzi?"

Director Li turned around and asked.

"I sit and watch."

Zhang Zhiqiang rolled his eyes, causing everyone to laugh.

Zhang Zhiqiang thought that they were probably talking about Aunt Zhou’s man.

Although I don't have much impression of this man, I have the relationship with Aunt Zhou after all, which gives me the advantage of building a good relationship with her.

On the other side, the Red Star Courtyard.

Qin Huairu walked in with someone who looked somewhat similar to her.

The person had two big braids, wore a floral shirt, green pants, and was carrying a bag of local specialties.

In terms of appearance, she is not much worse than Qin Huairu when she was young.

"Cousin, this is where you live?"

It was Qin Jingru’s first time to come to the city, and her two big eyes were blinking with curiosity.

With a shy look of someone who had never seen the world, he followed Qin Huairu closely.

"Yes, come on, I'll take you home first."

Qin Huairu brought Qin Jingru to the central courtyard.

"Hey, Sister Qin, who is this?"

Sha Zhu came over with a lunch box, his eyes shining as he looked at Qin Jingru behind Qin Huairu.

"This is my cousin Qin Jingru. My mother-in-law is in jail now, so she's here to help me look after the baby for a few days."

Qin Huairu explained to Sha Zhu with a smile, and naturally took Sha Zhu's lunch box.

Sha Zhu's heart began to get restless again. Now Yan Jiecheng is already married, and Zhang Zhiqiang, who is much younger than him, is said to be getting married soon. He is the only one left, a virgin. What do you think of this?

Sha Zhu felt that Sister Qin must have known what he was thinking, so she immediately brought her cousin over for a blind date with him, so his efforts were not in vain.

"Hello, my name is He Yuzhu. I have two houses in the middle courtyard. I'm an eighth-level chef in the steel mill. My monthly salary is 37.5 yuan."

He Yuzhu introduced himself enthusiastically and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Qin Jingru.

Although Qin Jingru has a rural household registration, she is very beautiful. The most exciting thing is that she looks a bit like Sister Qin. She is simply his soulmate.

Qin Jingru was so scared that she quickly took two steps back, wondering who this person is? He smells so bad, and it must have been a long time since he last took a shower.
