Chapter 287 It’s too late for Yan Jiecheng to come to his senses
The issue of train tickets had been a hot topic for several days, but it finally died down on the weekend.

There are no bicycles and watches on the market now. When Yan Bugui learned this result, he was extremely happy.

He rides a bike to and from school every day, and goes out for a stroll after school, always showing off his bike.

In order to prevent theft, Yan Bugui spent 3 cents to buy a three-row combination lock.

Most of his neighbors were envious of his ostentatious behavior, but only a few were disgusted by it.

Xu Damao complained: "What is your dad showing off? He makes it seem like others don't know he has a bicycle."

"He rides out every day to show off, as if he is the only one who owns the yard and no one else has it."

Yan Jiecheng glanced at him and said unhappily, "Who is like you? You are the only projectionist in the steel mill. When your father changes his job, you will get to ride the bicycle."

"You've been riding for several years, right? You must be used to it. Think about it, weren't you showing off at the beginning? You were the only one in the yard at that time."

Thinking of the embarrassing things that happened in the past, Xu Damao laughed and said, "That's right!"

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and watched his father riding his bike in circles in the front yard, feeling very gloomy.

Except for that one time when he rode the bike that day, Yan Bugui didn't let him ride the bike or touch the bike anymore.

If you want to ride it, you have to pay for it, just like an outsider, there is no affection at all.

Yan Bugui said, "Brothers should be clear about accounts. You spent a lot of money from your family to buy a car, so you should give it back. You should also understand the difficulties of your family."

"Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't let you ride. It just costs money. It's not like you didn't make any money."

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng instantly gave up the idea of ​​riding a bike. Money is hard to make nowadays, and it is not worth it to spend money just to show off.

If it was just for this, he wouldn't have done this.

Every day when he woke up, he could see Liu Guangqi riding his bike to the steel mill, which made him very envious.

"I'm about the same age as Liu Guangqi. He has a bicycle, a girlfriend, and works in a steel mill. He lives a good life. Look at me."

"I have nothing. I work as a laborer in the street office every day. I work hard all day but still earn little money."

"Why is Cui Yuan living such a good life? Damn God, why doesn't he look at me?"

Yan Jiecheng cursed the injustice of the world and his own misfortune in his heart.

Forget about Liu Guangqi, he has a good father and went to a technical secondary school. He cannot compete with others, but he can take it calmly.

But Cui Yuan, he used to do odd jobs in the street office, doing hard labor, how come he became an electrician in the blink of an eye.

Life is getting better and better, and there is still hope, so he can't take it lightly.

"Hmph!" Yan Jiecheng couldn't stay there any longer, so he went home, got some money, and was ready to go out and spend some money to find some mood.

When I walked out of the Chuihua Gate, I saw Cui Yuan sitting in a rocking chair in front of the courtyard gate, reading an electrician book in his hand, and I felt even worse.

"Hmph! Why are you pretending?" Yan Jiecheng complained suddenly when he passed by Cui Yuan, and immediately walked out.

Cui Yuan heard the noise and looked up to see Yan Jiecheng walking quickly. "It's incomprehensible. What are you talking about?"

Cui Yuan took a look and then lowered his head and continued reading without any concern.

But his calm appearance made Yan Jiecheng even angrier.

Holding the money in his pocket tightly, Yan Jiecheng went out angrily to find some fun.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yan Jiecheng went in and took a look. Looking at the dazzling array of merchandise, he felt much better.

"It would be great if I could buy so many things back home!"

Yan Jiecheng was strolling around, touching the goods displayed outside from time to time.

When he turned to the snack shop, he saw a pile of snacks and his mouth watered. He was about to buy some.

"Police comrade, it's him." Suddenly, there was a noise behind him.

Yan Jiecheng turned around and saw a salesperson pointing at him and complaining to the policeman beside him.

Yan Jiecheng saw her pointing in his direction, turned his head and looked around. He was the only one there, pointing at him in confusion.

The police comrades immediately rushed forward, grabbed Yan Cheng without saying a word, and pinned him to the ground.

"Why are you arresting me? Let go! Let go!" Yan Jiecheng struggled.

"Is it him?" the policeman confirmed with the salesperson.

The salesperson looked at Yan Jiecheng's face carefully and said with certainty: "Comrade, it's him. He was sneaky, walking around the supply and marketing cooperative, not buying anything, and even touching things."

The policeman shouted, "Comrade, I now suspect you are a thief. Come with me to the police station."

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not a thief!" Yan Jiecheng struggled violently.

But his actions made the police more convinced that Yan Jiecheng was a thief.

The salesperson said coldly, "Humph, you're not a thief? Bullshit, I've been watching you for a long time, you just walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, didn't buy anything, but touched everything, if you're not a thief, what are you?"

Hearing this reason, Yan Jiecheng was even more dissatisfied, "Is it not possible to touch the things just because they are there? I didn't steal them."

The salesperson then said, "You didn't steal? You didn't steal because there were so many people around. If there were fewer people, you would definitely steal!"

"You're talking bullshit. I'm rich, why would I steal your things?" Yan Jiecheng yelled and struggled violently.

"Speak nicely and don't swear!"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng swearing, the policeman pressed him down again, causing him to feel pain.

"It hurts! I have money in my pocket, please look for it, I didn't steal it!" Yan Jiecheng explained.

The saleswoman didn't believe it at all, but the policeman gave her a look and she had no choice but to search her pockets reluctantly.

Soon, he took out a handful of money from his trouser pocket, and a rough count showed there were nearly 10 yuan.

The police couldn't help but ease up the pressure, and the salesperson couldn't help but feel embarrassed, because with so much money, there was no need to steal.

The salesperson accused him without giving him any explanation: "If you have so much money, why don't you buy anything? Why are you touching things?"

Yan Jiecheng yelled, "I only have money but no tickets, and you let me buy things like this? Are you blind?"

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Don't say bad words!"

The police reminded him again, and the force that had just been reduced suddenly increased, causing Yan Jiecheng to feel a sudden pain.

"I know, I know." Yan Jiecheng responded quickly.

The salesperson was immediately embarrassed and said to the policeman, "Comrade policeman, please let him go. I blamed the wrong person."

Now that the truth was clear, the police released Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng immediately pulled his arms back. His hands were now in severe pain.

The salesperson immediately corrected his mistake and bowed to apologize: "Comrade, I'm sorry, I wronged you, are you okay?"

Yan Jiecheng was about to curse, but when he saw a policeman frowning and snorting coldly, he immediately stopped cursing.

"It's okay? How can it be okay? You'll know if you try it."

The salesperson looked at his red arm and bowed again to apologize: "Comrade, I'm sorry. I'll give you whatever compensation you want."

After saying this, the salesperson's eyes instantly became moist and she cried softly.

Yan Jiecheng looked at her crying and suddenly felt overwhelmed and in trouble. "Forget it, forget it. No need to pay compensation."

"In the future, be more discerning and don't wrongly accuse good people. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me."

After saying that, he looked at the policeman beside him and said, "Comrade policeman, can I go now?"

The police also admitted their mistake: "I am really sorry that I wrongly accused you and detained you for so long."

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when he saw that he was wearing a police uniform, he thought better of it.

"Be more careful next time!"

After saying these bland words, Yan Jiecheng walked away.

"Damn it, why are there so many every day!" Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Just a few steps away from the supply and marketing cooperative, a bicycle came towards them. The man was a little surprised when he saw Yan Jiecheng, but then he became indifferent.

Just walked past him and stopped at the door.

"Xiao Lan, we've arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative." A couple got out of the car, talking and laughing, and walked in.

The couple was obviously Liu Guangqi and Zhang Lan. Yan Jiecheng watched their backs as they walked in.

Zhang Lan felt he was being watched, and looked back at Yan Jiecheng, then immediately walked quickly in front of Liu Guangqi and used his body to block his view.

Liu Guangqi turned around and glared at Yan Jiecheng, the warning meaning was self-evident.

"Fuck your mother!" Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Liu Guangqi just ignored his existence, which instantly frustrated his self-esteem.

"I, Yan Jiecheng, am at least a seven-foot-tall man. How can I be looked down upon like this?"

Yan Jiecheng wanted to argue with Liu Guangqi, but he stopped after two steps. "I can't compare with him in any way. How can I argue with him? In the end, I will suffer. Why is my life so miserable?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled self-deprecatingly, and in his heart he couldn't help but howl to the sky.

Yan Jiecheng suddenly lost the mood to stroll around and walked back home dejectedly. Looking at the odd workers carrying goods on the street, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"Why can Cui Yuan be an electrician but I can't? He also started out as a loader. If he can do it, why can't I?"

"He can endure the hardship, but I can't. It's just one year, right? I don't believe it. I can't endure it!"

Yan Jiecheng had a resolute look in his eyes, a ferocious expression on his face, and gnashed teeth.

With this determined mood, Yan Jiecheng quickly walked back to the yard.

Seeing Cui Yuan still reading at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng snorted coldly and left, leaving Cui Yuan confused again.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Li Kailang, open the door!"

Yan Jiecheng knocked loudly, waking up Li Kailang who was sleeping soundly.

"What are you doing!" Li Kailang looked at Yan Jiecheng unhappily.

"Let's talk inside!" Yan Jiecheng walked straight in without any politeness at all.

Then he got straight to the point: "Li Kailang, I want to work in a steel mill as a loader."

Li Kailang said coldly: "You can't get in!"

"Why?" Yan Jiecheng asked back, "Are you blaming me for waking you up? I apologize!"

"I'm sorry!" Yan Jiecheng immediately bowed and apologized.

"Is this okay now? I apologize to you. Can you help me get into the steel mill?"

Li Kailang looked at the self-righteous Yan Jiecheng indifferently and sneered.

"You should apologize. You woke me up, so you should apologize. And you just walked in like that. Do you really think this is your home?"

"And when you ask for help, you have to act like you're asking for help. Just like you did just now, I wouldn't help you even if you could get into the steel mill, not to mention that you can't get into the steel mill."

Being lectured by Li Kailang, Yan Jiecheng just listened with his head down without refutation.

He was now only thinking about getting into the steel rolling mill and was so angry that he just kept saying whatever Li Kailang said.

Not to mention Li Kailang, even Cui Yuan, Cui Gang and Aunt Cui would be acceptable as long as he could enter the steel rolling mill.

But when he heard "can't come in", Yan Jiecheng immediately looked up and stared at Li Kailang.

"Why can't I enter the steel mill? I've apologized to you and you've accepted it, so why don't you help me?"

"How come you could get in before but not now? Don't you want to help me because of what happened just now? I can apologize to you."

Li Kailang looked coldly at Yan Jiecheng, whose face was red. "Who told you that I accepted your apology? Don't be so self-righteous."

"Also, the past is the past, and the present is the present. You were able to get in before, but I didn't see you get in. Now you want to get in? You're just dreaming! It's not that easy to take advantage of loopholes!"

After saying that, Li Kailang sneered and looked at Yan Jiecheng with disdain.

Yan Jiecheng said unwillingly: "Why? Didn't you come in easily before? Why can't you come in now? Don't you want to help me?"

It is difficult to solve the problem when talking to such a self-righteous person without properly criticizing his self-righteousness.

"The steel mill accepted employees before because they were short of workers. Now they don't accept employees to prevent people like you from taking advantage of the situation."

Then, Li Kailang explained the reason.

"The factory used to have good profits, so we hired a lot of workers. But now that the profits are bad, we don't want any more. The unloading workers are not as busy as before. Do you understand?"

"If you come earlier, you will have a chance before May 1st. After May 1st, the steel mill will not recruit anyone, just to prevent people like you from eating for free and taking advantage of loopholes."

The steel mill issued a notice after May 1st that it would not recruit any workers.

It is easy to pay a salary of more than 30 yuan, but it is difficult to distribute food. One more mouth to feed means one more burden on the factory.

If it were possible to lay off employees, the steel mill would want to lay off a group of parasites who receive food without working.

"It's not just the steel mills that are not doing well now. Other factories are the same. In the past, you just thought it was tiring and didn't want to work."

"Now you've figured it out and want to do it? If the steel mill doesn't accept you, you can't do it!"

As he said that, Li Kailang pushed Yan Jiecheng out without any mercy.

"Get out now. I can't help you now. You can only blame yourself. It's too late to think about it!"

Yan Jiecheng was unwilling to give up just like that. "Li Kailang, I know you have a way. If the steel mill won't accept it, don't you have a way to get other mills to accept it?"

"I've thought it through now. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to do odd jobs anymore. We are neighbors. You have to help me!"

Yan Jiecheng grabbed Li Kailang's arm and begged in a sad voice.

Li Kailang remained indifferent. Just like how Yan Jiecheng came in, he was also very righteous. How could he possibly help?
"It's no use begging me. I can't help you. I'm just an ordinary driver. I don't have that much ability."

"Go ask someone else for help, I can't help you!"

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

Yan Jiecheng was pushed out of the door, but he was unwilling to believe this fact.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Li Kailang, I know you have the best solution, you have to help me!" Yan Jiecheng shouted.

His appearance made Yan Bugui and the third aunt very confused. What happened to the eldest brother?
The third aunt glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "What's wrong with you, Boss? Could it be that Xiao Li is bullying you? This is not okay."

Yan Bugui said, "Don't talk nonsense. Little Li hasn't woken up yet. How could he bully the boss? The boss must have done something to make Little Li unhappy."

"That's true. Xiao Li is not that kind of person." Auntie San agreed with this view and continued:
"Boss, what a fool! Xiao Li is sleeping so early in the morning. Why are you looking for him at this hour? No wonder Xiao Li is unhappy."

Neither of them said anything good about Yan Jiecheng, and both felt that there was something wrong with Yan Jiecheng.

After begging in vain, Yan Jiecheng turned back home in despair, and felt nothing when he saw the two people.

The third aunt hurried forward and asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Jiecheng went home dejectedly and lay on the bed. The third aunt kept asking him questions.

Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to talk to them. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up like this and accomplished nothing.

Since graduating from junior high school, I have been doing odd jobs in the street office. I have been doing this for several years, but I have not made any progress and have been standing still.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to talk and Yan Bugui was too lazy to ask more questions, they asked the three aunts to leave.

"I think we have to ask Xiao Li about this. This kid must have done something to make people happy."

The three aunts nodded heavily and then walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Of course, go ask Xiao Li!" Aunt Three said as a matter of course.

Yan Bugui quickly pulled the third aunt back and said, "Are you stupid? Xiao Li is angry. If you go to him now, aren't you asking for trouble?"

"Can't you go later? Wait until Xiao Li wakes up before asking. Why do you have to ask now?"

The third aunt slapped her head and said, "What are you saying? Am I impatient? Forget about it. You can ask later. What do you think I am doing?"

At the end, he asked Yan Bugui about it, forcing him to comfort the third aunt.

After Li Kailang got up and opened the door, the two immediately asked him what had happened.

Yan Bugui immediately apologized: "Xiao Li, I'm sorry, Jie Cheng was reckless and bumped into you, please don't mind it!"

"You're right. We asked this kid to be a loader, but he refused because he thought it was too tiring. Now he wants to go. It's reasonable that the steel mill doesn't want to work there."

"It would be better for this kid to just go to the street office and do odd jobs peacefully. He won't starve to death anyway."

After accusing Yan Jiecheng, the two returned home.

Yan Bugui felt helpless as he looked at Yan Jiecheng who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

I could have gotten in at the beginning but didn't, and now I want to get in but can't. Who can I blame?

Yan Jiecheng did not mention Cui Yuan's hardship as a loader at all, but only mentioned the benefits of changing his job to become an electrician.

The two went to the living room to discuss Yan Jiecheng's matter.

The third aunt said distressedly: "Since Jie Cheng wants to work in the factory, why don't we find a way to get him a job?"

Yan Bugui said, "How can we be the boss? We don't have more than a hundred dollars in savings, we can't even buy a job, how can we help? Xiao Li said that the factory doesn't want anyone anymore."

"This kid regrets it now. Why didn't he regret it earlier? What can we do with this little money at this time?"

Yan Bugui couldn't help but lower his head and sigh, but since Yan Jiecheng was his son, who else could he help but him?

"I'll think of a way. Don't worry about it. Even if it's just odd jobs, he won't starve to death."

Yan Bugui sighed. This was all that could be done.
