At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

"You're just like that, all talk and no action, you've been listening to that CCTV broadcast for nothing every day!"

"I spent a fortune on that opera box, and you actually used it to listen to operas? Huh?"

"That's to help you understand the central government's directives and national policies so that we can follow the country's direction."

(This is what Liu Haizhong said himself in the drama, not something I'm trying to embellish.)

Liu Haizhong first scolded his wife.

Then he turned to look at his eldest son, whom he had cherished since childhood.

His eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

"What do you mean by 'family member of a martyr'? They're people protected by the state! What did you do? You sent people to beat him up!"

"Tell me, if this gets out of hand, our whole family will have to go to a labor camp."

"You've always been the smartest in our family, how come you act like an idiot when it comes to this?"

"They just arrived, and the neighborhood committee director and the police station chief both came to support them. What do you have to compete with them?"

"When we fought the Americans a couple of years ago, the radio broadcasts every day about how the families of martyrs were supported and protected by the state and organizations, repeatedly emphasizing that local governments should take good care of the families of martyrs. Didn't you hear that?"

Liu Haizhong muttered angrily in a low voice.

"But he also beat me up himself, and even had his second son beaten up for more than half a month."

"The other day, Yan Jiecheng said that Yi Zhongding himself said that he paid money to hire him."

Liu Guangqi remained unconvinced and continued.

"Yes, but the Yi family didn't say a word to me. What's going on? This is just kids having a fight, it's a common thing."

"Why would I stop your mother from causing trouble for others? The Yan family went to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai, but he gave them a good beating, and they slunk home like dogs."

"They said if things really escalate, Yi Zhongding and the others will be considered martyrs' families! You idiot!"

"This is only being handled by the neighborhood committee and the police station. Does his father have any comrades-in-arms? Does he have any superiors? If those people find out, do you think they'll let us off the hook?"

"Why is Yan Jiecheng telling you this? Because you've been using people as pawns, and they're not happy about it, so they're setting a trap for you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong became even more furious.

Besides being biased and lacking in interpersonal skills, his emotional intelligence is ridiculously low.

But there's no problem with his intelligence.

He's honest and straightforward.

He can also sponsor his apprentices' education.

Who in the entire compound could do that?

Needless to say, Yi Zhonghai always holds back several techniques when teaching his disciples.

He Yuzhu also held back some of his skills when teaching his apprentices; his honesty and sincerity were reserved for Sister Qin, not for anyone else.

Moreover, Liu Haizhong also possesses a certain political acumen.

Otherwise, in the drama, he would have listened to the radio broadcast and then rushed to Deputy Factory Director Li to offer his "scallion sincerity".

"Alright, that's enough with the words. The eldest son has such good grades, he's even going to take the vocational school entrance exam next year to become a cadre, how could he not know that?"

"Even though it's the Lunar New Year, those country bumpkins from the Yi family, newcomers, dared to disrespect him. They were so angry they lost their temper. They should have said a few words."

"What you said makes sense, but do you think Lao Yi and that brat would help us so easily?"

Seeing her eldest son blushing from being scolded, Zhang Qinghua felt sorry for him and quickly changed the subject.

"Although I beat up the second son, I didn't have the nerve to apologize to the Yi family. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?"

"Old Yi knows we care about our reputation, so he personally brought us food and drinks, which shows he understands what we mean."

"As for Yi Zhongding, that kid always greets everyone with a smile when we meet, and he was the same way with me."

"This kid isn't even half my age, but he calls me Brother Liu every day. It's so annoying."

"The two families don't even share the same surname. He's Old Yi's younger brother, not my Liu family's younger brother. Why shouldn't we address him according to his age?"

Liu Haizhong got angry when he said this, and his anger made him even fatter.

Its round belly bulged with anger, rising and falling.

It was shown to outsiders.

Everyone was worried that the gas in his stomach would explode.

"Let's get down to business."

Seeing that he had gone off-topic, Zhang Qinghua quickly said something.

"But this kid doesn't seem like the type to hold grudges. He's a law-abiding and considerate person, so he wouldn't hold a grudge against us."

"Oh well, just get ready. As the old saying goes, it's never a bad thing to be polite."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. We still have four eggs at home, enough for you to eat for four days. I'll fry them all together and buy more tomorrow."

Zhang Qinghua nodded and said.

Liu Haizhong got to experience the leader's lecturing style.

I went to work feeling completely satisfied.

Logically speaking, his assessment of Yi Zhongding is correct.

After all, they're part of the system.

The main principle is to leave room for maneuver in others' lives and never make mortal enemies.

Even if they are opponents.

It's rare for someone to actually kill you.

The main point is to maintain mutual respect.

But he misjudged one thing.

Why did Yi Zhongding spend nearly thirty years in the system in his previous life, even reaching the highest rank in a township?

But he's still unmarried and childless.

Because in his previous life he was also a "childless person".

And he's also a natural eunuch.

In vitro fertilization is not an option.

Unfortunately, it wasn't discovered until I was older.

His parents are getting old and can't have a second child.

Although times have changed.

He didn't think that being unable to have children was a big deal.

He's not worried about retirement either.

They should be able to get promoted at least one level upon retirement.

A section-level cadre retired.

He could be considered a "Chen Yanshi" in a small town.

But that doesn't stop Tam from having the same desire to exploit others.

The excuse of delivering takeout to supplement the family income is self-deprecating.

But the real issue is avoiding those who frequently bring their children to their homes to freeload off family.

That's why he naturally raised and cared for his younger siblings after he came into this world.

Based on the age of his soul in his previous life.

The way they treat their own younger siblings can be described as the affectionate way grandparents show to their grandchildren.

If Liu Guangqi only targets him.

We've only fought once, so let's leave it at that.

But he attacked his brother.

That would be a fight to the death.

So pulling a handful of his bangs is to gather momentum.

Unlike other time travelers, he couldn't possibly see enemies everywhere he looked in the courtyard.

Even a seasoned veteran of the system can still manage to create enemies all around him.

That can be attributed to the organization's failure to provide proper instruction.

But kicking Liu Guangqi while he was down was revenge.

The two are not adjacent.

I've had breakfast.

Yi Zhonghai went to work.

Yi Zhongding continued working on the job he had taken on and the foot-operated washing machine he wanted.

Even Yi Zhonghua came to help.

Children in this era are quite different from those in later generations.

That is, after arriving in the capital.

He was doted on by his elder brother and sister-in-law.

If it were back when I was still at home...

Yi Zhonghua is also good at taking care of children, doing housework, and even farming.

She's not a spoiled child.

Yi Zhongding would never allow him to develop that kind of personality.

So pamper those who need pampering, teach those who need teaching, and let those who need independence be independent...

There can be no ambiguity whatsoever.

While he was busy.

People started coming to pick up their custom-made furniture and toys.

There weren't any large furniture items available.

We still haven't asked him to create the so-called thirty-six legs.

Not to mention the many more furniture legs.

The person who came to the door took the goods but didn't leave.

They sat under the eaves chatting idly.

Those still at home at this hour are mostly older women.

That's why I get along well with my sister-in-law, Tan Xiulian.
