Chapter 68 Golden Wedding
Yu Zhiyuan rode his bike around, thinking about the list.

"I'll go to Master's house tomorrow and ask him. After all, he's an old employee in the factory and knows a lot."

After returning home, he read a book while practicing calligraphy with Qiaoqiao, while Wenwen stuck his butt out and played with some wooden sticks on the ground.

I don't know what he was mumbling.

Seeing that the girl was tired from standing and writing big characters, Yu Zhiyuan said, "Are you tired? Qiaoqiao, why don't you take a break?"

"Not tired, Dad. Why don't you get your son out? What are you complaining about? Don't you feel tired?"

Wenwen stood up and hugged Qiaoqiao's legs with the hand holding the wooden stick: "Sister, play."

"All you do all day is play. Go play by yourself. Grandpa, grandpa, take your eldest grandson away. He's getting so annoying."

The father-in-law pushed the door open and picked up his grandson: "What's the matter? Did he annoy you again? I'll take him out right away."

Qiaoqiao was still sulking.

"My girl, how can you practice calligraphy when you are upset and angry? Go and have fun."

"You're always occupying the desk. How can I take notes? Go out now and stop taking up space."

After finally coaxing his daughter out, Yu Zhiyuan sat down at the desk, reading a book and taking notes.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Zhiyuan took his whole family to his master's house for a meal and asked about some good workers with high job grades.

Then he went home and prepared to go to work tomorrow.

It’s better to go back to work. I’ve been running around all day during the New Year. It’s tiring.

If you continue to study and work hard, time will pass quickly.

As soon as the ground thawed a little in March, the steel rolling mill started construction of a new workshop.

The factory has also recruited all new workers.

It’s just that this time we recruited a lot of retired soldiers.

Yu Zhiyuan passed the level five assessment without any major problems.

"Brother Zhuzi, what's going on? Why is Second Master so happy?"

"Can't you see that I'm happy?"

"What are you happy about?"

"Finally, Qin Huairu was transferred away. She was lazy in the kitchen every day. She relied on the fact that she lived in the same courtyard with me and never went to work honestly. I am fed up with her."

"You can even take off the plaster?"

Sha Zhu pointed with two fingers and said, "Two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao. The director is quite evil. He went to the second canteen to make noodles."

Yu Zhiyuan pointed at Liu Haizhong: "Where's he?"

"He just got promoted to level seven. He's on the same level as Yi Zhonghai. How can he not be happy?"

Yu Zhiyuan nodded.

"Have you heard that a small canteen has been built in the new workshop? Damn, do we really need so many canteens?"

"You are well-informed. Where did you get the information? Tell me, are you 'Dituo'?"

"Go to hell with you. I know how loud the discussion is in the cafeteria. You act like a nerd all day, what do you know?"

"That's a bit disrespectful. Don't you know that a scholar knows everything in the world without leaving home?"

"You're just awesome!"

Yu Zhiyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to congratulate Liu Haizhong.

"Congratulations to Uncle Er for his successful upgrade!"

"Zhiyuan, you have to work hard and earn your living so that you can get promoted soon. Second Master has high hopes for you."

I shouldn't have come here.

"How is it? Pretty official, right? Hehe."

There are no good people in this courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Liu Haizhong was pulled away by Yan Bugui to talk again.

As soon as I entered the backyard door, I was almost bumped into by a chubby boy.

"Be careful and don't be anxious. Please pay more attention to the elderly in the courtyard." After saying this, Yu Zhiyuan realized that he had never seen this kid before.

"I'm sorry, uncle."

"Gouzi, go buy some soy sauce, what are you waiting for?"

When I walked in, I saw a fat woman who looked very familiar.

Who is this?

Yu Zhiyuan entered the room and asked Xuemei, "Who is that person with such a loud voice?"

Before Xuemei could say anything, Qiaoqiao spoke first: "Aunt Zhuang, just moved here. His son is called Gouzi, and he is in the same class as Brother Zicheng. There is also a child called Yanni."

How come you look so familiar?
"There is also an aunt named Liang Ladi in the middle courtyard. She raised four children by herself. It's like a group of Mao raising a show."

Oh my god, is this so interesting?

"If you have any more information, turn it all over. Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist."

"Dad, is there a reward?"

"What do you want?" "Can you buy me a watch so I can tell time?"

"My girl, that thing is too valuable and it's not good for you. But if you promise to be careful and not show it, I will give you a good gift and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"Deal. The family that moved into the middle courtyard is named Tong. They have two daughters. The older one is Yanni and the younger one is Duoduo."

Yu Zhiyuan remembered, the golden wedding anniversary.

"That's great, it's so lively, haha. Anything else?"

"A cook was moved in from the front yard, and Aunt Liang went to make his bed, but was kicked out. What was his name, Yi?"

"Nan Yi?"

"Yes, yes, that's a weird last name. Zhongyuan Yanni's father's name sounds better. Can you guess?"

Yu Zhiyuan pretended to think: "The surname Tong sounds good. It won't be Tong Zhi, right?"

Qiaoqiao and Xuemei looked at Yu Zhiyuan in surprise.

"Why, am I right?"

The two nodded.

"Okay, go cook. I'll take you to the commission store some other day."

Qiaoqiao cheered and went to cook with her mother.

Ever since his father-in-law and his wife returned to the village, Yu Zhiyuan asked Qiaoqiao to learn how to cook from her mother.

"Son, come with daddy and I'll take you to visit relatives."

My son walks really well now.

Arrived at the middle school.

"Brother Zhuzi, Brother Zhuzi, come out!"

Sha Zhu came out holding his son: "What's the matter? Why are you yelling?"

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the cook. He might be better than you, hehe!"

"I have to believe you if you say so."

Two adults and a kid walked to the front yard, to the door of the new house, and knocked on it.

"It's you, Comrade Yu. Come in quickly. Are you staying in this hospital too?"

"Yes! He lives in the backyard. This is He Yuzhu who lives in the middle yard. You two will go together."

"Brother Zhuzi, this is the Nan Yi I mentioned to you, Master Nan."

The two shook hands.

"You just moved in today. I'll try your cooking some other day." Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, you two can come to my house for dinner tomorrow night."

They smoked a cigarette together and left Nan Yi's house.

"Hmph, let's try it tomorrow." After saying that, Sha Zhu carried his son and left.

Yan Bugui came over and said, "Zhiyuan, do you know him? Why did you move in now?"

"Yeah. A cook in the machine shop. Probably transferred to the steel mill."

Yan Bugui was depressed, as he still wanted to buy the house for his son.

"Uncle, there's only one room left, so hurry up. The newcomers all have important backgrounds."

"You know everything. Tell me, tell me."

"The female comrade in the middle courtyard is a welder in the machine repair factory, and her skills are pretty good. The ones in the middle courtyard and the backyard are fitters in the heavy industry, and they are no worse than the old man. As for their wives, maybe there will be surprises!"

After Yu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he turned around to look for his son. What was the little brat doing at the doorstep?

"Son, let's go home for dinner and watch a big show tonight."

When I entered the backyard with my son, I saw a little boy with sharp eyes and a big mouth.

"You must be Comrade Yu from the backyard. I'm Dazhuang, Zhuang Yuxin."

"Master Zhuang, hello, Yu Zhiyuan." Yu Zhiyuan said as he stretched out his hand and shook hands.

"Son, call me Uncle Zhuang."

"Uncle Zhuang."

"Boy, you're so good." Zhuang Yuxin said as she gave Yu Zhiyuan a cigarette.

"You are an old employee of the steel mill. Do you know how to arrange us?"

"I transferred you here without informing you of the job?"

"No, I'm still confused."

"Don't worry, there will be overall arrangements from above."

"Do you know anything?"

Yu Zhiyuan smiled, threw away the cigarette butt, and took his son home.
