Chapter 290 Liu Haizhong slaps his face and pretends to be fat
"It's a rare day off today, and I bought a job, I'm so happy!"
Li Kailang was very happy holding the certificate of replacement. The replacement will only be done at the end of next year, so he is not in a hurry at all.
"It's a rare day off, I have to find something to do. It's not a good idea to stay at home."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang wanted to find some fun.
"Let's go to the scrap yard to look for treasures first, and buy some scrap metal and other materials. The stock in the planting space is all gone."
Li Kailang kept his word and rode his bicycle to buy scrap metal to pan for gold.
Li Kailang was having fun, but the yard was not having fun.
Not long after he left, two bicycles arrived at the gate of the yard.
"Xiao Lan, we're here. This is the yard where I live."
Liu Guangqi stopped the car, introduced the place to Zhang Lan, and pointed to the yard in front of him.
"Guangqi, is this the yard where you live? It's so beautiful." Zhang Lan couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the outer wall of the yard.
Suddenly I saw the planting field outside and thought, "Hey, why are these vegetables planted in the field?"
Liu Guangqi explained: "Hasn't the ration been reduced in the past few months? Everyone is thinking of finding some food from other places to save some grain."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhang Lan suddenly realized that she had no worries about food and clothing, so she didn't understand this behavior.
After all, his father is the head of the grain station. If anyone else’s food is short, his family will not be short of it.
Suddenly, a nonchalant voice was heard, which sounded disgusting.
"Tsk, what's so good about this yard? It's so shabby. Xiaolan, how can you say it's good?" said a boy behind the two people who spoke.
He looks like a typical dandy boy, with a bright and handsome appearance, but his words and actions reveal a frivolous and arrogant attitude.
When Zhang Lan heard his words, she turned around angrily and looked at the boy with dissatisfaction:
"Song Dashun, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. If you don't want to stay, go home."
Song Dashun didn't seem to care about Zhang Lan's anger, and just responded with a grin: "Yes, yes, Xiao Lan is right, I won't say anything."
He agreed verbally but showed no intention of leaving, as if he had some purpose.
Liu Guangqi looked at Song Dashun and frowned involuntarily.
Ever since he took Zhang Lan away, Song Dashun has been following him like a shadow and he can't get rid of him.
What made him even more unbearable was that Song Dashun kept talking in derogatory terms about him, saying all kinds of bad things about him.
Now that we're at the doorstep, this guy still has no intention of stopping talking.
Liu Guangqi had tolerated him all along. If he was not Zhang Lan's childhood friend, he would have been unable to resist and beat him up.
But for Zhang Lan's sake, he endured it.
Zhang Lan turned around and apologized to Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi, don't mind him, he is just a chatterbox, just pretend he doesn't exist."
Liu Guangqi smiled slightly, "It's okay, I don't care."
Zhang Lan looked at Liu Guangqi's hearty and handsome smile, her heart couldn't help but move, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly.
She knew that Liu Guangqi was trying to please her, and she couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart.
"Guangqi, let's go in quickly and don't keep uncle and aunt waiting for too long."
"Okay, my parents have wanted to meet you for a long time." Liu Guangqi responded and pushed the cart into the yard.
"Yeah." Zhang Lan took out the gifts she had bought from the front frame of the car and followed Liu Guangqi in.
Seeing this, Song Dashun immediately pushed the cart and followed.
The gatekeeper today was Sha Zhu, who let Liu Guangqi and Zhang Lan in when he saw them being intimate.
"What are you doing?" Song Dashun looked at Sha Zhu with dissatisfaction.
"You can't go in!" said Sha Zhu.
"Why can't I go in? He and I are on the same side." Song Dashun pointed at Liu Guangqi.
Liu Guangqi turned his head and glanced at Song Dashun, with a mocking smile on his face: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't know you."
Zhang Lan also echoed: "Who are you? I don't know you."
"You two are really awesome." Song Dashun was so angry that he had nothing to say.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu pushed Song Dashun away and pushed him out of the courtyard: "Look, no one knows you, why are you going in? Get out!"
Song Dashun was not paying attention and almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Lan couldn't bear to see Sha Zhu being rude to his childhood friend: "Hey, comrade, please be gentle."
Then he said to Song Dashun: "Dashun, just stay here and don't follow me in."
After being pushed by Sha Zhu, Song Dashun suddenly became furious and stood at the gate of the yard pointing at Liu Guangqi.
"Boy, you don't want me to go in, right?"
Liu Guangqi smiled slightly and remained silent, thinking that Sha Zhu's martial arts skills had finally been used for something useful.
Song Dashun gave a thumbs up and said, "Boy, you are awesome. You dare not let me enter this door. You are awesome."
Liu Guangqi smiled slightly, but the smile disappeared the next moment.
Song Dashun looked at Zhang Lan and said, "Xiao Lan, my uncle has spoken. He is worried about your safety. I will go wherever you go. If I can't go, you can't go either."
After saying that, Song Dashun looked at Liu Guangqi provocatively.
"Boy, you dare to let someone block me? Just wait. I will tell my uncle about this when I get back. Just wait and see. If you dare to let Xiaolan go in alone, you will forget your job."
This not only made Liu Guangqi lose his smile, but also made Zhang Lan a little scared.
Zhang Lan turned to look at Liu Guangqi and begged, "Guangqi, what should we do? How about letting Dashun in?"
Zhang's father had always had a different opinion about his relationship with Zhang Lan.
Liu Guangqi finally understood how he happened to meet Song Dashun on the road, and how Song Dashun followed him all the way and said bad things about him.
It turns out that all this was arranged by Zhang's father.
Zhang's father had never been optimistic about him in the first place. If he really drove Song Dashun away now, then the future of him and Zhang Lan would be even more bleak.
Thinking of this, Liu Guangqi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, come in."
When Song Dashun heard Liu Guangqi's words, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He looked at Liu Guangqi provocatively, as if to say, "Look, you still can't do anything to me."
Then he strode into the yard, pushing his bicycle.
When passing by Sha Zhu, Song Dashun did not forget to stop and said something harsh: "Boy, you just pushed me, you wait for me."
"Hey, kid." When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately became furious and was about to take action, but was stopped in time by Liu Guangqi.
"Hmph, for Liu Guangqi's sake, you're lucky." After saying that, Sha Zhu continued to guard the door.
"Hmph." Song Dashun snorted coldly and followed the two men into the yard.
He looked around as he walked, then began his mocking journey.
"This yard is not good either. It's so bad. Look at the land. How can we grow food? Aren't we just growing flowers and plants?"
"Oh, and this gate wall is so dilapidated, why haven't you repaired it yet? What if it collapses?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this yard is not good either."
Song Dashun mocked the courtyard's shortcomings all the way, making the people who came over to watch the fun feel very uncomfortable.
They all frowned and were very dissatisfied with Song Dashun's attitude.
Song Dashun didn't care at all. He just wanted to ruin Liu Guangqi's reputation.
But it was hard for Liu Guangqi, who had to keep smiling and apologizing to everyone and explaining the misunderstanding, and Zhang Lan also had to smile along.
Finally they arrived at the backyard and saw the four members of the Liu family standing at the door, looking forward to seeing them.
As soon as Liu Guangqi and Zhang Lan appeared, the second auntie immediately shouted happily: "Old Liu, look, it's Guangqi's girlfriend!"
Liu Haizhong responded with a smile: "I see, I see."
It was the first time for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to meet their future sister-in-law. Looking at her pure appearance, they couldn't help but develop a liking for her.
"Uncle, aunt, hello!" Zhang Lan called out politely and gently hugged the second aunt.
"By the way, uncle and aunt, this is a gift for you. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation."
Zhang Lan handed the gifts in his hand to the two of them, which were some cigarettes, alcohol and the like.
"How can I be so embarrassed? I'm sorry to have cost you so much money."
Although the second aunt said she was sorry, her face was filled with a happy smile and she politely accepted the gift.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they saw that Zhang Lan didn't mention them.
But Zhang Lan soon noticed their mood. She took out small gifts such as candy from the truck bed and handed them to them.
"I heard Guangqi talk about you two. This is a little gift for you. I hope you like it."
"Thank you sister-in-law!"
The two happily took the gifts and couldn't wait to open them. They saw that they were filled with candies of various flavors.
Seeing Zhang Lan being so polite and sincere, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt were very satisfied with this "daughter-in-law".
It seems that he has decided on this "daughter-in-law".
Song Dashun, who was standing by, watched all this and sneered with disdain.
He glanced at Liu Guangqi and said sarcastically, "Tsk! All the money spent was Xiaolan's. He didn't spend a penny. He's just a gigolo."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt glanced at Song Dashun coldly, their eyes revealing scrutiny and dissatisfaction.
Liu Guangqi is their treasure, how can they tolerate others speaking ill of him?
Liu Haizhong asked coldly: "I wonder who this person is?"
Zhang Lan was about to explain, but Song Dashun spoke up first: "I'm Xiao Lan's childhood friend, Song Dashun. I followed Xiao Lan to see you."
Song Dashun's tone was full of arrogance and pride, and he seemed to not take the Liu family seriously.
Hearing Song Dashun calling Zhang Lan so intimately, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but frown.
Zhang Lan is about to become their daughter-in-law. How can you, an outsider, use such an intimate name?
However, he did not get angry on the spot, but just said calmly: "Oh, so you are Xiaolan's friend."
The second auntie enthusiastically pulled Zhang Lan's hand and said, "Hey, Xiao Lan, you must be tired after riding here. Come in and have a seat, drink some tea and rest."
"Qi!" Song Dashun smiled contemptuously.
"Hmm?" Zhang Lan glared at him angrily and immediately told him to shut up. Liu Haizhong also saw Song Dashun's disdainful attitude. He looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, signaling them to do something with his eyes.
The two immediately understood and nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes, come in and sit down." Liu Haizhong warmly invited Zhang Lan into the house.
Song Dashun naturally had to follow in.
However, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu deliberately squeezed in front of Song Dashun and pushed him to the back.
In response to this, Song Dashun laughed. It was too naive to think that he could control him with just this method.
After entering the room, Song Dashun found a chair and sat down without any hesitation, crossed his legs and looked nonchalant.
Although Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied, he could only turn a blind eye to it for Zhang Lan's sake.
"Come, Xiaolan, try the good tea that I have treasured for a long time and see how it tastes." Liu Haizhong took out a box of tea leaves and brewed it carefully.
The tea leaves expand in the hot water, giving off a faint aroma.
Song Dashun couldn't help but sneer as he watched Liu Haizhong carefully take out the fine-grained tea leaves.
"Dashun!" Zhang Lan glared at him, signaling him not to be so rude.
Song Dashun said, "I'm sorry, I just thought of something funny and couldn't help laughing. Don't mind it, just keep going."
Then he pretended to be curious and asked, "Hey, uncle, I don't know what kind of tea this is. It looks like Gaosui to me! I haven't tasted this tea before."
"Country bumpkin!" Liu Haizhong cursed in his heart, but on the surface he remained polite and explained to Song Dashun.
"Don't underestimate it because it's made of fine tea. It's a rare and good tea that is rarely seen on the market. I prepared this especially for Xiao Lan."
"You're just lucky. You're with Xiao Lan and you can drink once."
The second aunt also agreed, "Yes, Xiaolan, your uncle usually doesn't drink this kind of tea, so he specially brought it out to treat you today."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also looked at the teacup with anticipation, wanting to taste this rare good tea.
Song Dashun couldn't help but feel amused when he saw how much the Liu family valued this tea.
"That's right, uncle. This is my first time drinking this tea. I've never had it before. I don't know how it tastes."
Liu Haizhong said condescendingly: "Then drink it and try it to see how it tastes. I don't know what kind of tea you drank before, it shouldn't be a good tea."
Song Dashun nodded in agreement: "Uncle is right. I really have never had good tea before. I only drank Pu'er, Tieguanyin and the like."
"This is the first time I drink this kind of Gao Sui. I didn't have it at home before, so I couldn't drink it even if I wanted to."
"If my uncle receives a high-quality piece of silver, he will just throw it away. Giving a high-quality piece of silver to my uncle is an insult to him, Xiaolan, don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned ugly.
The smugness and pride in his heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by anger and embarrassment.
To put it bluntly, the Gaosui in his hand were the crumbs of these fine teas. It seemed that the tea he cherished so much was a joke in Song Dashun's eyes.
But how could Liu Haizhong be scared by what Song Dashun said? Maybe he was just bragging.
Liu Haizhong looked at Zhang Lan and saw him glaring at Song Dashun, his eyes telling him to shut up.
Zhang Lan also noticed the embarrassment in Liu Haizhong, and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Uncle, don't listen to Dashun's nonsense. I have never drunk this kind of tea."
Zhang Lan’s concealment was very tentative and it was obvious that it was fake at first glance.
Song Dashun picked up the teacup and drank it all, then pretended to sigh:
"Ah, this tea is really good, much better than Pu'er. Where did you buy it, uncle?"
His words made Liu Haizhong's face look even uglier, as if he had eaten a fly.
Liu Hai knew in his heart that Song Dashun was deliberately trying to make him angry, but he could do nothing about Song Dashun and could only suppress his anger.
The Liu Guangtian brothers looked at the teacup expressionlessly for a moment, with no expectation of getting the treasured high-quality pieces.
The four members of the Liu family couldn't help but look at Liu Guangqi, and they began to doubt his identity and background.
They had never heard Liu Guangqi mention Zhang Lan's family background, but now they were made uneasy by Song Dashun.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Zhang Lan smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere: “Uncle, aunt, have some tea, have some tea.”
"Well, drink it." Liu Haizhong responded lightly.
The tea leaves that I treasured and was reluctant to drink before now taste bland, just like plain water.
Liu Guangqi was so angry that his teeth were itching, and his resentment towards Song Dashun and Zhang Lan's father deepened again.
After drinking tea, the atmosphere fell into awkwardness and silence again, and the chattering voices outside the door entered the room.
The news that Liu Guangqi brought his girlfriend to the yard made everyone curious and follow to join in the fun, even Sha Zhu was the same.
Song Dashun looked around, critically observing the decoration and layout of the house, and sneered in his heart:
"With your family's financial situation, you still want to marry Xiao Lan? You're far from it! I don't know why Xiao Lan fell in love with this man."
Song Dashun suddenly asked: "Hey, uncle, I forgot to ask, what do you do for a living?"
Hearing this question, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
He is not only a seventh-level riveter, but also has many apprentices under him and is also a well-known figure in the factory.
He was about to answer himself, but Liu Guangtian took the lead and said proudly:
"My father is a seventh-level riveter in a steel mill, and he earns more than 80 yuan a month."
"How's that? Isn't it amazing? Ask around in the alleys around here, everyone knows my dad's reputation."
"Hey, hey, hey, this is just an empty title, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Haizhong pretended to praise the empty reputation verbally, but he was actually very happy in his heart and enjoyed his son's flattery.
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but straighten his chest, sitting calmly, looking at Song Dashun with anticipation, waiting to see his shocked expression.
He just couldn't believe that anyone could remain indifferent after hearing about this salary and this level.
However, Song Dashun just nodded calmly and said, "A fitter, level seven, 80 yuan salary, just average, not even as good as Guoan."
Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly became a little ugly, "Who is Brother Guoan? He is even better than a level 7 riveter like me?"
Song Dashun smiled contemptuously and said, "Brother Guoan is Xiaolan's brother. He is an engineer at the First Steel Rolling Mill."
Liu Haizhong looked at Zhang Lan and saw him nod, "It's my brother."
Liu Guangqi looked at Zhang Lan in disbelief. It was the first time he heard this news. "Xiao Lan, why didn't you tell me before?"
Zhang Lan whispered, "My brother won't let me talk about him outside."
When Liu Haizhong heard that Zhang Lan's brother was a junior engineer, he felt shocked.
He worked hard for most of his life but was still not as good as a "kid". If he was an eighth-level riveter, he might have the ability to challenge him, but he was not.
Seeing the Liu family fall into silence again, Song Dashun was extremely happy. He had completed the task assigned to him by Zhang's father quite well.
However, now that we are here, why should we just let it go?
Ignoring the fire in Zhang Lan's eyes, Song Dashun continued to ask: "Uncle, how many houses do you have? I see that your decoration is a bit shabby."
"And these furnitures are all old. If they break, it's ok if they hit someone else, but what if they hit Xiao Lan?"
The second aunt quickly explained: "Don't worry, we will buy new ones, or if it doesn't work, we will ask a carpenter to make new ones."
Liu Haizhong also quickly said: "As for the house, don't worry, before Xiaolan marries in, we will redecorate the wedding room and will not let Xiaolan suffer any grievances."
The two of them talked for a while, and at this moment, Song Dashun seemed like Zhang Lan's elder.
Song Dashun enjoyed it very much. It was the first time he felt the feeling of looking for trouble and deliberately finding fault. "It feels so good!"
The two chatted for a long time, until their mouths were dry. Song Dashun didn't pay any attention and continued to nitpick:
"It's easy to say these words, but the key is to see actual actions. I don't want to see Xiaolan being wronged in your house."
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt hurried to explain.
After a lot of talking, Liu Haizhong finally said, "Brother Dashun, I wonder when we can meet with our in-laws and have a good chat about our marriage."
Song Dashun was so scared that he raised his hand to block it: "Hey, uncle, don't talk nonsense! I came here to protect Xiaolan, but I don't intend to introduce you to my uncle."
"With your son being like this, your uncle has long disliked him. You still want to see your uncle. You think too much."
"What's going on?" Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned pale and he looked at Liu Guangqi angrily.
He had been ridiculed by Song Dashun for so long and had endured the humiliation, all for the sake of his eldest son's marriage.
Now he is told that Zhang's father does not think highly of Liu Guangqi and looks down on his Liu family. Isn't he suffering in vain?
Song Dashun looked at Liu Haizhong's angry expression and felt secretly delighted. He then added fuel to the fire, causing the Liu father and son to completely fall out.
"Uncle, you don't know about this? Then I'll have a good talk with you."
Ignoring the face in his fringe that was darker than coal, Song Dashun kept talking.
"My uncle has never been optimistic about him. He has never been to my uncle's house. They have been in love for so long, but he has never even met my uncle formally."
"Oh, by the way, the gifts you received were all bought with Xiao Lan's money and tickets. He didn't spend a penny, not even a single ticket."
Song Dashun called Liu Haizhong "Uncle" and "He" all the time. When Liu Haizhong heard this, he became furious. Could it be that his beloved son was so unbearable?
Especially when he heard that the gift was bought by Zhang Lan, he instantly glared at Liu Guangqi, wondering how he could have such a useless son.
Liu Guangqi was also feeling extremely helpless. All the cigarettes, alcohol, candies, etc. that Zhang Lan bought required tickets, and he didn't have those tickets, so how could he buy them?
He wanted to pay, but Zhang Lan wouldn't let him.
Song Dashun didn't care about that, and continued: "Xiao Lan is the youngest in my uncle's family. She has been loved by her uncle, aunt and brothers since she was a child. It can be said that she has been spoiled.
"For him, Xiao Lan even ran away from home. Xiao Lan had never seen any bad people since she was a child. She was not very experienced in the world and didn't even know that she was deceived."
Song Dashun stopped talking until his mouth was dry. Looking at the five Liu family members with livid faces and burning anger, he was so happy that he wanted to jump up and cheer.
"Song Dashun, what are you talking about? Get out of here!" Zhang Lan yelled angrily.
Song Dashun didn't care at all. He did it on purpose to destroy their relationship. Only in this way would they break up.
Listening to Song Dashun's words, Liu Guangqi's resentment towards Zhang's father grew even deeper.
He and Zhang Lan have been together for such a long time, and the most they have done is hold hands and hug, they have never even kissed.
And every time they go out, it seems like someone is watching them, and any even the slightest intimate action will be stopped.
But for the sake of his future, he had to endure it. He didn't expect that Song Dashun would reveal so many embarrassing things to him.
Looking at the tense atmosphere in the room and the anger that was about to erupt, Song Dashun smiled:
"I've been sitting for so long, my body is exhausted, I'm going to go out for a walk and get some fresh air, you guys continue chatting."
As soon as he walked out of the room, a roar that resounded through the sky came from behind him.
"Liu Guangtian, look at what you have done!"
"Uncle, don't listen to what Song Dashun says, it's not like that."
