I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Xu Damao took out some dried mushrooms to get rid of Yan Bugui's entanglement and left with a dark face.

No one can be in a good mood when being sucked blood by leeches.

Yan Bugui looked at the mushrooms in his hand and nodded in satisfaction:

"These mushrooms have a good chewy texture, not bad!"

Looking up and seeing his three sons returning, fearing he might miss other opportunities to get something for nothing, he casually gave them an order:

"Jiecheng, take these mushrooms back and store them for your mother."

Yan Jiecheng took it and held it up, then stretched out his right hand to look at Yan Bugui, remaining silent.

Yan Bugui didn't understand what was going on, and casually asked:

"Didn't I already give you the things? What else do you want?"

Yan Jiecheng said in a serious tone:

"Dad, you can't expect me to work for nothing, can you?"

He realized that his eldest son actually wanted to fleece him. He was always the one taking advantage of others, but now he wanted to take advantage of himself.

This is utterly upside down!

Yan Bugui was unhappy:

"What do you mean by working for free? Aren't you going to eat these mushrooms?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately retorted:

"Dad, you always say that even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and that you won't go poor from eating or wearing clothes, but you will go poor if you don't plan ahead. I paid for my food, so isn't it only right that I eat these mushrooms? You can't possibly charge me twice for the same thing, can you? Even unscrupulous merchants before Liberation rarely did things like this! I don't want much, just give me two cents and I'll take them back for you."

Yan Bugui blushed instantly and snatched the dried mushrooms away:

"Give me the things, and if you're not willing to do any small chores for the family, then forget it!"

Just as he was about to entrust the matter to his youngest son, who was not seriously poisoned, he discovered that Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang had already crossed the screen wall and returned, and there was no sign of them at all.

They're all ungrateful wretches!

Not a single one is reliable!

When I get back tonight, I have to take out the account book and increase their monthly living expenses again!

Six yuan a month is still too little, let's raise it to six yuan and fifty cents first.

After returning to his room, Yan Jiefang lay on his bed and began to think about his future growth plan.

As someone living in the information explosion era, he understands the importance of academic qualifications in this period and has enough intelligence and experience to take the exams.

Even if all else fails, there's still the panel for permanent certification.

Although they are small business owners, they have nothing to do with being considered good in this day and age.

However, it's still possible to attend a regular high school or a vocational school or university with a less desirable major, such as agriculture or forestry.

His mid-term goal was very clear: to get into the senior high school section of No. 22 Middle School.

No. 22 Middle School is currently just an ordinary high school, and its requirements for student status are not as strict as those for key high schools.

Given his background as a small business owner, he could get into any school as long as he got good grades.

After graduating from high school, use your cheat code to save money to buy a job and become a glorious member of the working class.

This makes it relatively easy to get through this special period smoothly.

As for taking the entrance exam for a vocational school specializing in agriculture and forestry, forget about it.

I can't stand that suffering.

As anyone who has watched the TV series knows, the Yan family doesn't have many good interpersonal relationships. If you were assigned to a farm in a remote area, would you go or not?

By the time reform and opening up took place, he wasn't that old.

Then, take advantage of the information gap to start making a move, earn enough capital to ensure your family's lifelong financial security.

No amount of money is necessary; it only invites envy.

To this world, I am just a passerby; all I need to do is achieve the mission objectives and obtain the cheat codes.

My immediate goal is to get my health back in order.

My health is now very poor due to long-term malnutrition.

Readers all know that He Yushui is in poor health, practically skin and bones. The second generation of the Yan family, apart from Yan Jiecheng, are no less so.

If your health is too poor, no matter how many methods you use, you won't be able to use them.

Moreover, he also needs to ensure that he lives long enough.

Tomorrow is Friday, and Yan Jiefang plans to take a few days off to rest and see if he can use the "Golden Finger" technique to train and improve his physical fitness.

Noticing that his older brother and younger brother were already asleep, he immediately took out a sweet potato and began to eat it carefully.

You can't eat this too fast, or you'll definitely choke.

...

Silent all night.

The next morning, Yan Jiefang stood guard at the front gate of the yard.

Not long after, He Yushui, with her hair in braids, walked to the front yard with another girl.

The girl was Xu Damao's younger sister, named Xu Fengling.

She's not bad-looking either, prettier than He Yushui.

Perhaps because she ate well, her complexion was noticeably rosier.

Xu Fengling was also born in 1945, the same age as Yan Jiefang. They both attended the same junior high school, No. 22 Middle School, but were not in the same class.

It has nothing to do with Yan Jiefang.

The two had almost no interaction.

The reasons are obvious to everyone, so I won't go into them here.

Yan Jiefang stepped forward to stop He Yushui and spoke directly before she could get angry:

"He Yushui, I'm not feeling well today. Could you please ask my teacher for two days off for me?"

"no problem."

He Yushui glanced at his pale face and nodded in agreement.

This is just a small matter.

"Thanks."

Seeing that she agreed, Yan Jiefang immediately stepped aside and watched the two leave.

Yan Bugui, who was "keeping watch" at the gate, witnessed the whole thing and was immediately displeased to find that his son had taken leave without a reason.

Yan Jiefang's grades in junior high school were not bad.

Even if the number of admissions is significantly reduced this year, he will have no problem obtaining his junior high school diploma by passing the preliminary test at the end of April and the graduation exam in June, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

If you work hard during this final period, there's still a good chance you'll get into high school.

Having a high school diploma will make finding a job and getting promoted much easier in the future, and you'll spend less money and earn more.

Of course, it would be even better if I could be admitted to a better vocational school.

It's almost the end of March, and this kid actually asked for leave without my permission!

At this crucial time, if you relax even a little, won't your grades plummet?

Isn't this a waste of all the years of training (and scheming) I've put in?

He immediately pulled his son aside, his voice low but his barely suppressed anger still bursting out:

"Jiefang, why did you ask for leave without any reason? Even if you wanted to take leave, you didn't tell me beforehand? I've made the decision for you, grab your schoolbag and go to school right now! Also, the cornbread for lunch is canceled! Are you kidding me?!"

"Uncle, are you disciplining your son? If you ask me, you should learn from me how to educate children: 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'"

Uncle Liu Haizhong, who was passing by, noticed what was happening and added a comment.

Currently, only his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, is studying at a vocational school in the compound, and he will be appointed as a cadre upon graduation.

This is his greatest pride.

Therefore, whenever someone in the neighborhood disciplined their son, he would go up and share his parenting experience.

Yan Bugui, who always considered himself a scholar, immediately turned pale when he heard that a bureaucrat who had only completed primary school dared to give him advice.

If it weren't for his family background, Yan Jiecheng would have had the opportunity to attend a good vocational school.

This is also one of his regrets.

If Yan Jiecheng could attend a vocational school, the pension and child support funds he collects each month would be much more than they are now!

Yan Jiefang didn't care about what the NPCs said or thought. He silently went home to get a towel to wash the drool off his face, then put on his backpack and left the yard.
