Hearing Liu Haizhong's reprimand, the second aunt didn't dare to say another word.
Liu Guangqi, who was eating next to him, was also feeling a mix of emotions, but since he was not as skilled as the other person, he could only pretend not to care.
As for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they watched Liu Haizhong cautiously, not daring to even pick up their chopsticks, for fear that he might pull out the Seven Wolves if he became unhappy.
How could Liu Haizhong not be angry?
The old ones can't compete with the old ones, and the young ones can't compete with the young ones either. It's so frustrating.
But he was helpless and could only drink in silence, his face ashen.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai, from the Yi family in the Intermediate People's Court, was also educating his children.
"Xiaofang, Xiaobao, now you know the benefits of studying! Look at Sun Zhengguo, his starting point is beyond the reach of most people, a peak that ordinary people can hardly surpass in their entire lives. You must study hard in the future and not be playful."
"Dad, we understand. We will definitely learn from Zheng Guo."
Seeing that the two children were well-behaved and sensible, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction.
Aunt Yi, who was eating next to them, smiled with satisfaction and quickly put two more pieces of food on the children's plates.
"Eat up! Eat more, you'll have the energy to study when you're full."
In the same Jia family compound in the Intermediate People's Court, Jia Dongxu also emphasized the importance of learning to his son.
Banggeng just started first grade last year. His grades are neither good nor bad, placing him in the middle of the class. But that's far from enough. If he continues like this, he'll only graduate from junior high at most.
"Bang Geng, from today onwards, you must study hard. I don't expect you to be like Sun Zhengguo, but you can't be naughty every day. Maybe you can get into a vocational school or even a university, which would bring honor to our Jia family."
How could a seven-year-old boy understand such profound principles?
He hated studying, so he said impatiently, "I know."
"Our Banggeng has been smart since he was a child. Just you wait and see! He's not fat at first, but he'll eventually become so fat that he'll break the bed. When my grandson becomes an official in the future, let's see what they have to say then."
Hearing his mother's twisted logic, Jia Dongxu and his wife were completely speechless, wondering where his mother got her confidence from.
However, since his mother had said such a thing, they couldn't hold her back and refute her, so they could only remain silent and gnaw on the last cornbread in their hands.
In the front yard of the Yan family, tonight, as if by prior arrangement, Yan Jiecheng said he was tired from working, so he took a cornbread, a couple of pickled vegetables, and went back to his room with his wife to eat.
The other siblings also took their cornbread back to their rooms to eat, under the pretext of studying, which infuriated Yan Bugui.
I was already in a bad mood after coming home empty-handed from fishing in the afternoon, and I was thinking of giving the kids a political lesson tonight to give them a good talking-to.
But now that all those people have run away, who is he supposed to reprimand?
The elderly couple could only confide in each other, lamenting the injustice of their fate.
In the blink of an eye, it's been three days since Sun Zhengguo started working, but the people in the compound are still incredibly envious.
Some busybodies even secretly did the math and found that the combined salaries of all the members of the Sun family amounted to more than 300 yuan a month. In just three years, they could earn enough to become a family with 10,000 yuan in income, which was simply terrifying.
Early in the morning, Sun Zhengguo rode his bicycle to the Second Steel Rolling Mill to begin another day of work.
After several busy days, all the machines in the warehouse will be repaired in another week.
Factory Director Wu has been in high spirits these past few days, having acquired so many machines for just a small amount of money. He's overjoyed and wishes he could treat Professor Wu and his entourage like royalty.
While Sun Zhengguo was working hard, a conversation was taking place in a secret military camp near Beijing.
"Old Yang, this was my mistake. I didn't expect that kid to be so popular. He graduated early and was assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy on the same day. I'm not happy about it!"
If Sun Zhengguo were standing here, he would definitely recognize that the person speaking was Uncle Zhang, and the Old Yang that Uncle Zhang mentioned was Political Commissar Yang of this mysterious unit.
"Old Zhang, now that you mention it, I'm a little curious. Is this kid really as good as you say? That you can't forget him?"
"Oh my! My political commissar Yang, you've never seen him before! Do you know my two bodyguards? They're like children under his thumb, completely helpless. And I heard from Dazhuang that he's holding back! Otherwise, hmph..."
Chief Zhang didn't continue, but Political Commissar Yang definitely understood.
"Since you think so highly of him, and his family background is fine, why don't we recruit him through a special program? What do you think?"
"Will this work? This kid has a good job, and his current position is clearly more suitable for him. We can't force him to come, can we?"
Chief Zhang asked in confusion.
“You! How can you be so smart all your life but so foolish this time? We can give him a formal position as a secret dispatched personnel. He doesn’t need to come to work every day. Unless there is a major mission, he can do whatever he’s supposed to do. It won’t affect his work at all. Just write that into his file.”
After listening to his old partner's advice, Chief Yang also fell into deep thought. He also felt that the method was feasible, but he didn't know what that kid thought.
at the same time.
In the deputy minister's office on the third floor of the Ministry of Machinery, Deputy Minister Li was yelling at Director Liao of the Personnel Department.
"What is your personnel department doing? Why were our outstanding students from the Mechanical Engineering Department assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy? Huh! Tell me, why?"
"Vice Minister Li, please calm down and sit down so I can explain things to you slowly."
These two men both came from the same military unit and used to be in a superior-subordinate relationship, which is why Director Liao dared to say such things. If it were anyone else, they would have been too scared to utter a word.
"Fine! I'll hear what you have to say."
Vice Minister Li suppressed his anger and sat down at his desk to see what Director Liao could say.
“Vice Minister Li, we’ve been keeping an eye on this student for a long time. He’s been ranked first every year and has a solid foundation. He was originally going to be assigned to our Ministry of Machinery, but something came up at the last minute, so he was assigned to the Ministry of Metallurgy by mistake.”
"Tell me exactly what happened by sheer coincidence."
"The quality of steel this year is substandard, and the country intends to upgrade the rolling mill. The main person in charge is Professor Wu, and this student is his prized disciple. In order to facilitate his future work, Professor Wu recruited this student to the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. By the time we found out, it was too late."
Upon hearing that it was Professor Wu's arrangement, Vice Minister Li was speechless.
"This old Wu, why is he siding with outsiders? Why can't he assign people to the Ministry of Machinery and then we lend them out to the Ministry of Metallurgy?"
"hehe!"
"Old leader, based on my understanding of you, would you lend it? Otherwise, Professor Wu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make such arrangements in advance."
"Me... am I that kind of person? Get out! Get out! Just seeing you makes me angry."
Seeing that his weaknesses had been exposed, Vice Minister Li immediately dismissed his former subordinate.
After Director Liao left, Vice Minister Li was still furious and made another phone call to the Ministry of Metallurgy.
"Hey! Is this Lao Bai? Your Ministry of Metallurgy is really dishonest this time, blatantly trying to steal people from our Ministry of Machinery. How are you going to settle this score?"
Upon hearing that it was an old comrade-in-arms coming to interrogate him, Vice Minister Bai on the other end of the phone did not tolerate him and immediately retorted.
"No, Lao Li! What's wrong with you? Who says people from the Mechanical Engineering Department can't be assigned to our Ministry of Metallurgy? We have plenty of mechanical engineers in the Ministry of Metallurgy too. Can't you be reasonable?"
"Hmph! I'm being unreasonable, then I'll have to settle things with you about what happened in the past..."
"..."
Sun Zhengguo was unaware that the two big shots were arguing fiercely on the phone because of him.
