Chapter 87 Yan Jiecheng wants to join the factory
As I stepped into the courtyard, I still saw the familiar figure.
"Uncle, are you still watering the flowers?" Li Kailang asked with a smile.
Yan Bugui turned around and his eyes were immediately attracted by the two pheasants in Li Kailang's hands. His eyes were rolling, and he was obviously thinking about something in his mind.
"Xiao Li, where did you get this pheasant?"
Seeing Yan Bugui's eyes rolling, he must be calculating. Before Li Kailang could answer, Yan Bugui had already tentatively suggested:
"Xiao Li, how about going to Uncle Three's house for a drink? I just bought a bottle of Xifeng wine, so it's a good opportunity to try it."
"Uncle, you have bad intentions. Are you planning to take advantage of me?"
Yan Bugui didn't care at all when Li Kailang said that. He just smiled and stared at the pheasant.
Li Kailang was about to refuse when Jia Zhang happened to pass by with a stick.
"Good boy, you'll know what to do later, right?"
"I know, grandma!"
The two of them were talking in low voices, guarding against Li Kailang and Yan Bugui, as if they were planning something.
Jia Zhang was wary of Li Kailang and Yan Bugui, as if they were plotting some important plan.
However, when Jia Zhang passed by Li Kailang, her eyes were also fixed on his pheasant, and she kept muttering something.
Li Kailang and Yan Bugui smiled at each other knowingly. Jia Zhang must have bad intentions and was up to some evil plan.
"It seems like I can't keep these two chickens. I'd better enjoy them as soon as possible." Li Kailang thought to himself.
It’s not that he was afraid of Jia Zhang, but Li Kailang didn’t have the energy to keep an eye on the pheasants all the time. When the plot began, even if Lou Xiao'e was there, Xu Damao’s chickens were still lost.
Of course, the most important point is that these two pheasants are male and cannot lay eggs, what a pity!
Instead of giving benefits to others, it is better to reward yourself.
Li Kailang was also a little tired and didn't want to cook. There was a tool man in front of him, and he also wanted to try Xifeng Liquor.
As for the remaining pheasants, they were naturally given to the Cui family.
"Uncle, it's not impossible for you to come to your house for dinner tonight, but..."
"But what? Tell me, little Li." Yan Bugui immediately responded.
I didn't expect that my "unintentional" words would result in me eating a pheasant.
"Third uncle, you said it well. I bought some new Xifeng wine. Don't try to fool me with the watered-down wine."
"Don't worry, this is new and I haven't opened it yet."
"Okay, you take the chicken. I'll come to your place to eat later." Li Kailang handed the pheasant to Yan Bugui.
Just when Yan Bugui was about to take it away, Li Kailang suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Xiao Li, are you teasing me?" Yan Bugui suddenly got angry. How could he, a teacher, be teased like this?
"Uncle, I'm not kidding you. Let me make it clear first, the whole chicken must be served on the table. Don't just cook half of it!" Li Kailang explained.
He also suddenly remembered that with Yan Bugui's ability to calculate, it was really possible for him to just make half a chicken.
"Of course not! Of course not!" Yan Bugui said immediately.
"Okay, take it. Call me when you're done!" Li Kailang said, handing over the pheasant and not taking it back this time.
Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui immediately took it away and said, "Okay, I'll call you when it's done." After that, he left immediately.
Originally, Yan Bugui really wanted to keep half of it, but he also knew that it was not fair to do so, so he only planned to keep some "details".
Seeing this, Li Kailang smiled and stepped into the courtyard.
Seeing Yan Bugui anxiously urging the third aunt to pack the chickens, he shook his head and went to Cui's house.
"Aunt Cui, Brother Cui, are you home?" Li Kailang asked loudly.
Hearing the sound, Cui Yuan came out immediately, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. This isn't a mission. I sent you two chickens. I can't finish them, so I'll give them to you guys to supplement your diet."
Cui Yuan quickly refused, "How can this be possible? You can finish it all by yourself."
Aunt Cui also came out of the house and said, "Xiao Li, I have meat at home, you just need to live your life well. This chicken is too expensive, I can't take it!"
"It's okay, Auntie. I still have a chicken, enough for us to eat." Li Kailang said, handing over the pheasant.
"That won't do. That won't do. Two chickens aren't too many. You're a driver and you can eat two." Aunt Cui refused again and again.
"Auntie, please don't refuse. I will eat with Uncle San later. There is no point in keeping this chicken."
As he spoke, Li Kailang approached the two and whispered:
"When I came back, I saw Jia Zhang. She was staring at the chicken. I was afraid that if I didn't eat it today, she would take it away tomorrow."
As he spoke, Li Kailang stretched out his five fingers and made a grabbing gesture.
"It's better to eat it sooner rather than letting Jia Zhang steal it, ma'am, don't refuse."
Having said that, he took advantage of Cui Yuan's inattention and stuffed it directly into Cui Yuan's hand.
"Okay, Auntie, just kill it and eat it. Don't keep it." After saying that, Li Kailang went home.
"You kid! I'll let Xiao Yuan give you the money later." Aunt Cui said helplessly.
Li Kailang gave them the chicken, but they couldn't just accept it like that, they still had to pay them.
On the other hand, seeing Li Kailang bringing the chicken to the Cui family, they would rather give the chicken to the Cui family for free than give it to us. "
Yan Jiecheng said jealously, "How could Li Kailang be so kind? He would rather give it to the Cui family for free than to give it to us."
Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and said sarcastically:
"They can send whatever they want, why should you care? Just take care of your own business. You've never brought meat home."
It was a rare opportunity to have meat to eat, and Yan Bugui had no intention of indulging Yan Jiecheng's complaints.
"Dad, how can you say that to me? We are no longer a family." Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily.
"They have come to our house to eat, and you still have something to say about them? Even the food can't stop you from talking." Yan Bugui said.
"Okay, okay, boss, let's cook first." The third aunt stopped them in time. Hearing this, the two stopped arguing.
Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang stared at the three aunts processing the chickens, and their mouths couldn't help drooling.
The three aunts skillfully plucked the chicken's feathers, cleaned it, heated oil in a pan, added various seasonings, tied the chicken with a rope, and fried it in the pan until both sides were golden brown.
The aroma is so tempting and mouth-watering.
As soon as Li Kailang got home, he lay down directly. He had been hunting in the morning and driving in the afternoon. He was a little tired both physically and mentally, so it was a good time to take a rest.
About ten minutes later, Yan Jiekuang came and knocked on Li Kailang's door.
"Brother Li, it's time to eat!"
Hearing this, Li Kailang went out.
"Xiao Li, come on, you're the only one missing." Yan Bugui warmly invited Li Kailang.
Li Kailang looked at the dishes on the table. Apart from the chicken, there was a plate of cabbage, a plate of pickled vegetables, a large plate of steamed corn bread, and a few white flour buns.
This meal is pretty good for most families.
After some greetings, Yan Bugui invited everyone to have dinner.
Everyone watched Li Kailang pick up his chopsticks first. After all, he was the guest, and Yan Bugui also gave way to Li Kailang.
Seeing this, Li Kailang didn't say anything and started eating first. After Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Yan Jiecheng started eating, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang started eating.
I have to say that although Yan Jiecheng is stingy, he still has some knowledge of his children's upbringing.
"Come here, Xiao Li, try my newly bought Xifeng liquor." Yan Bugui unpacked the Xifeng liquor in front of Li Kailang.
"It's really new. Uncle San didn't lie to me!" Li Kailang joked.
"Of course. As a teacher, I stick to my word." Yan Bugui said seriously.
However, the prerequisite is to explain the matter clearly. If not, Yan Bugui will not take it seriously.
"Come on, drink!" Yan Bugui poured 1 penny (5 ml) of liquor for Li Kailang and started drinking it with him.
"Ah!" They both sighed.
Xifeng Liquor has a rich taste, mellow aroma, a strong fruity flavor and a very delicate taste.
"Uncle, your wine is really good!" Li Kailang praised
"Of course!" Yan Bugui seemed a little proud.
However, he was still very careful when pouring the wine, not daring to spill a drop.
After three rounds of drinks, the food on the table was eaten up.
The family ate relatively little chicken, and most of it was given to Auntie No. 3. After all, she was still pregnant at the time and needed additional nutrition.
Li Kailang was forced to drink a lot of wine by Yan Bugui, but with a wine glass worth one penny, Li Kailang was not drunk.
"Uncle, just tell me what's the matter. I'll see if I can help you." Li Kailang said frankly, but he didn't make any promises.
"Hey, it turns out that you can't escape Xiao Li's eyes!" Yan Bugui raised his voice.
"Uncle, you're drinking. Anyone who's not a fool can tell. Uncle, stop beating around the bush and just say it directly."
"Okay, Xiao Li, whatever you said about me, I'll tell you straight out."
Yan Bugui burped and sat up straight.
"You also know that Jie Cheng has been doing odd jobs on the streets and has never been successful. I saw that you helped the eldest brother of the Cui family to work in the steel mill, didn't you?"
"See if you can get Jie Cheng in as well."
Yan Jiecheng on the side looked at Yan Bugui in shock. He had never mentioned this to him before, but now that it came to this, he stared straight at Li Kailang.
Li Kailang also knew that Cui Yuan’s affairs could not be concealed, or it could not be concealed at all.
"Uncle, you know that Brother Cui is in the loading and unloading department, right?"
Yan Bugui nodded. There was a work badge on Cui Yuan’s chest, so anyone with good eyesight could see it.
"Uncle, you know what the job of the unloading department is. I have no problem bringing Jiecheng in, but it depends on whether Jiecheng can do the job."
"Brother Cui's current job requires him to move heavy goods every day, which is much more difficult than Jie Cheng's current job. I wonder if Jie Cheng has the confidence to continue doing it."
Yan Jiecheng could not compare to Cui Yuan in either physique or strength.
But these are not the most important things, they can all be practiced.
It’s mainly about perseverance. Li Kailang is worried that Yan Jiecheng will leave before long, so what’s the point of introducing him?
That’s why Li Kailang asked whether one has confidence or not, rather than whether one has the ability or not.
Yan Bugui's idea was just a spur of the moment one, and he was doing it for Yan Jiecheng's own good, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Jie Cheng, do you think you can handle moving heavy goods all day long?" Li Kailang asked directly.
"This..." Yan Jiecheng was speechless for a moment.
"Can you give me a new job?" Yan Bugui said with some difficulty.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yan Bugui instantly realized that he had said something.
Li Kailang didn't care and shook his head. "I can only introduce Jie Cheng to the job of the unloading department. I can't do other jobs."
Hearing this, the whole family fell into deep thought. Even Yan Jiecheng himself did not believe that he could move the heavy goods.
He did odd jobs on the street, but they were all light work, nowhere near as hard as that of a loader, and his physique didn't support him doing it.
The most important thing is that Yan Jiecheng actually looks down on the makeup removal job and wants to change to a better one.
Seeing that the whole family didn't move, Li Kailang didn't stay any longer. He said a few polite words and left to go home.
After Li Kailang left, the family looked at each other, and were not sure about Yan Jiecheng working as a loader.
