The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 182 Apology
Jia Zhang shook her head: "That's not the case. Liu Hua is not such a stingy person. He can't ruin our Bang Geng's life for a mouthful of milk powder, right?"

Qin Huairu said helplessly: "Mom, who are you from? I'm educating my child, please don't make things more complicated."

Jia Zhang said nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter. Just put the child's ear down and don't pick it up next time, isn't that enough?"

"If he develops a habit, will he be able to stop it in the future?"

Qin Huairu, whose financial difficulties were slightly alleviated, had a clear mind. She understood the principle that if you steal a needle when you are young, you will steal gold when you grow up.

Thinking that he might need Liu Hua’s help in the future, he decided to go to his house and apologize rather than being discovered.

After thinking for a while, Qin Huairu took four eggs from the cupboard and held Banggeng's ears: "Come on, follow me to apologize to them."

Jia Zhang immediately stopped him: "It's not that serious, isn't it? It's just some milk powder. He is an engineer, if he tells others about it, he will be laughed at."

"Because he is an engineer, I might need his help in the future. Instead of waiting for him to find out and feel suspicious, I should take the initiative to apologize and make the relationship better. Then it will be easier for me to ask for help in the future."

Qin Huairu took the eggs and pulled the stick and walked towards Liu's house.

Liu Hua was chatting with Liu Feifei. Based on what he had experienced in his previous life, he knew that he should communicate more with pregnant women to make them feel good, so that they would not easily develop any syndrome or depression.

When he heard the knock on the door, Liu Hua was puzzled. It was already dark and every household was getting ready to rest, so why was there someone coming to the door?

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Qin Huairu holding the stick.

"Qin Huairu, what's the matter?"

"Can I go in and talk?"

Once you pass through the door, you are a guest. Besides, they are smiling. After letting the two of them in, Qin Huairu pushed the stick forward and said sternly, "Apologize."

Bang Geng lowered his head and said, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I'm sorry."

Liu Hua pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "This child watched his aunt drink milk every day, and he got greedy. When no one was at your house, he ran in, scooped two spoonfuls, and drank it secretly at home."

After saying that, Qin Huairu handed over the eggs in the bowl and said apologetically: "I can't buy this milk either, so I can only compensate you with a few eggs. I hope you adults will not bear grudges against me."

"I don't think it's a big deal." Liu Hua pretended to be generous and said, "It's just two spoons of milk powder, it's not a big deal, but your behavior is not good."

Liu Feifei also cooperated with the performance: "I was wondering why there was some milk powder on the table today. I thought Huazi didn't wipe the table."

Liu Feifei just wanted to give some to Qin Huairu. We had already discovered this. Qin Huairu turned her head and looked at the table. She knew where the milk powder was placed, but it was no longer there, which meant that Liu Feifei was not talking nonsense.

"I'm really sorry, this child has been greedy since he was young."

Liu Hua waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little milk powder. Just don't continue this behavior in the future. Stealing is a bad habit after all. If you don't correct it as soon as possible, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later." Qin Huairu put down the egg: "No, I will teach him a lesson when I get home."

"Take the eggs back for the children as well." Liu Feifei said with a smile, "Give them some nutrition. Just tell them not to do this again in the future."

After being forgiven, Qin Huairu turned around and prepared to leave. Liu Hua put the egg in his hand and said, "Take it back. It's just a small matter. There's no need to apologize so solemnly. Just say it. The most important thing is to educate the child. Don't make the same mistake again in the future."

After returning home, Jia Zhang saw the egg in Banggeng's hand and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Are they not giving up?"

"If I hadn't given up, would I have been able to come back so easily?" Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and said, "They didn't say anything, but they had already discovered the matter a long time ago. I guess they all knew who did it, but they just didn't make it public. The milk powder has been put away."

“Why weren’t the eggs collected?”

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "At first I thought it would be impossible to accept it, but since we are going to apologize, we can't just go empty-handed. Bringing a few eggs will at least save our face."

Bang Geng put the egg down and said calmly, "It's no big deal. If you insist on apologizing, they won't pursue the matter, right?"

"What do you know?" Qin Huairu said sternly, "Didn't I tell you? You can't make the same mistake again. I'll forgive you for the first time, but if you do it again, I won't be so easy to deal with."

"Bang Geng, I'm telling you, you better be more restrained from now on and stop stealing and cheating. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will get yourself into trouble."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Our Banggeng will be a cadre in the future."

"Who wants him to be an official if you keep doing this? If you do it again, I'll give you a good beating. We live in the courtyard now, and we can't afford to offend anyone. You better keep your tail between your legs from now on."

This little thing didn't cause any ripples in the courtyard, and no one else knew about it except the Liu and Jia families.

Liu Hua was working as usual, and the design work of the rolling mill was going very smoothly. Li Huaide specially assigned a group of senior technicians to be on standby.

After the design department designs the parts drawings, they start production, just like playing with building blocks, starting little by little, and building up the rolling mill.

Liu Feifei's belly gradually grew bigger and she had to go for a check-up every two or three weeks. Thanks to Liu Qing's advice and Liu Hua's assurance, both the baby and the mother had a balanced diet. In Liu Qing's words, the baby was developing very well and would definitely be a cute little guy.

Liu Ma and Liu Ma would stew some chicken, ribs, fish, etc. and send them over every now and then. This treatment made the women in the yard extremely envious, especially Qin Huairu.

After she got married, she basically cut off contact with her parents' family. Even if she did, it was too far away to help. What's more, her parents' family was poor and couldn't help much.

Jia Zhang was a very demanding person. He would rather cook for himself than buy some chicken, duck, fish or meat for Qin Huairu. He didn't even express his intention when she was pregnant. So it was a miracle that Banggeng and Xiaodang were born healthy.

After about three months, the cold rolling mill has been basically built, and we are ready to set a time to conduct the experiment.

Liu Hua had a clear idea in his mind that there would basically be no problems. All the design drawings were submitted to him for review, and the quality of the parts had also undergone the most stringent quality audit.

Although Liu Hua didn't dare to guarantee that it would pass in one go, he could guarantee that there would be absolutely no major problems, so the steel rolling mill just had to wait for its turn.
