“Bang梗, go play over there, don’t make your dad angry.”
Qin Huairu quickly sent Bang梗 away.
Bang!
Jia Dongxu slammed the table and stood up: “Damn it! Chen Jianye and I are irreconcilable!”
Qin Huairu pouted.
She thought to herself, if you’re so capable, why don’t you go kick the Chen Family’s door?
Why are you acting tough in the house?
“Mom, Huai Ru, just you wait and see.”
“Once Chen Jianye goes to the Rolling Mill, see how I deal with him. I’m going to find First Master now.”
Jia Dongxu stormed out.
Chen Family.
Chen Jianye finished breakfast and went out to wash the dishes.
He didn’t care about the Jia Family’s thoughts at all.
Coming to the front Courtyard, Chen Jianye was about to fetch water to wash the dishes.
“Jianye, there’s a lot of oil in your bowl.”
Third Aunt, with her sharp eyes, saw the oil in the small bowl and said enviously, “Washing it like this is too wasteful.”
In those days, meat was rare, and oil was naturally rare.
For ordinary people, lard mixed with rice was a very delicious dish.
A few drops of oil added to a bowl of rice would immediately enhance its flavor significantly.
So, seeing the oil in Chen Jianye’s small bowl, Third Aunt was both envious and pained.
“Third Aunt is right, next time I’ll lick the bowl clean before washing it.”
Chen Jianye humbly accepted the lesson.
When entering a new environment, one must accept the rules of that environment.
“Yes, lick it clean or mix it with rice, as long as it’s not wasted.”
Third Aunt nodded.
Chen Jianye quickly washed the bowl clean.
At this time, people in the Siheyuan (Courtyard) were gradually going out to work.
When Liu Guangtian and Yan Fugui walked out of the front Courtyard, they both looked at Chen Jianye with resentment.
Yan Fugui was envious.
Liu Guangtian was indignant.
Because the eggs Chen Jianye fried were too fragrant, Liu Haizhong took out a salted duck egg to eat.
Liu Guangtian also wanted to eat it.
As a result, he didn't get to eat the salted duck egg, but instead got a beating from Liu Haizhong.
Seeing Chen Jianye enjoying a big meal alone at home, Liu Guangtian felt conflicted.
Chen Jianye picked up the enamel basin and walked into the house.
He could clearly sense the subtle psychological changes reflected in the way others looked at him.
It was nothing more than eating meat early in the morning, which made many people in the Courtyard feel it was too extravagant.
But Chen Jianye would not change this point.
He was currently a patient and had to recuperate.
Moreover, he didn't have ‘much time left to live’, so if he didn't spend lavishly, wouldn't leaving so much money behind be making wedding clothes for others?
It would be abnormal not to eat well.
With these two reasons, Chen Jianye had no problem eating and drinking heartily during this period.
Returning home, Chen Jianye retrieved his household registration documents and went out to the Rolling Mill.
He was going to the Rolling Mill to take over his father Chen Tuntian's position and handle the onboarding procedures.
Living in this era, without a formal job, one was considered inferior.
With the ‘Effort’ system, and seeing his Cooking experience growing little by little, Chen Jianye also wanted to improve his Fitter Skill.
To truly take root in this world and live well.
Behind Chen Jianye, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu went out together.
“Master, what do you think Chen Jianye is going to do?”
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Jianye ahead.
“He should be going to the street office to handle some procedures for his parents.”
“And if he wants to take over a post at the Rolling Mill, he also needs a certificate from the street office.”
Yi Zhonghai guessed.
“Master, once Chen Jianye gets into the Rolling Mill, we must severely curb his arrogance.”
Jia Dongxu said, suppressing his anger.
“Hehe, we are all residents of the same Courtyard, don’t always bring up everything.”
“It hurts feelings.”
Yi Zhonghai chuckled, his face full of the calmness of having everything under control.
“Master, you are right, I was too impatient.”
Jia Dongxu nodded.
The two walked and chatted.
“Master, something’s not right, Chen Jianye seems to be going to the Rolling Mill too.”
Jia Dongxu hesitated.
“It really seems so.”
“He thinks anyone can get into the factory, hehe, he’s just a greenhorn.”
Yi Zhonghai looked disdainful, then smiled: “Let’s go, let’s walk faster and watch him make a fool of himself.”
The two excitedly sped up.
East Gate of the Rolling Mill.
“Comrade, where are you from?”
The Security Guard stopped Chen Jianye and asked cautiously.
Nothing else, Chen Jianye’s attire was simply too eye-catching.
The gauze on his head was wrapped layer upon layer, with solidified dark brown bloodstains on it.
There was also fixed gauze under his chin.
Walking on the road, it was difficult not to attract attention.
The Security Guard naturally wouldn't let such a person into the factory.
“Hello Comrade, I live at South Gong and Drum Lane No. 95 Courtyard, and I’m here to take over my dad’s post.”
Chen Jianye patted his cloth bag and said politely, “The documents are all inside, what do you want to see? I’ll show it to you.”
“Comrade Chen Jianye, taking over a post has a process, and it must be handled according to the process.”
“We’re not making things difficult for you, go ask at the street office yourself and learn more about the situation.”
The Security Guard softened his tone and said kindly.
“Ah, no one told me before.”
“Thank you, Comrade, I’ll go check with the street office.”
Chen Jianye thanked him, but felt a bit displeased inside.
Running over early in the morning, only to find it was a wasted trip, couldn't even get through the door.
Anyone would be displeased.
At this very moment, some people were pleased.
Not only was he pleased, but he also had a strong desire to show off.
“Hehe.”
Jia Dongxu chuckled twice, feeling it wasn't enough, and then burst into laughter.
“Cough cough.”
Yi Zhonghai also had a smiling expression.
You don't give me face in the Courtyard, do you?
I don’t even need to bother you much, just ignore you.
Without my guidance, you know nothing, and you'll hit a wall trying to do anything.
“First Master, Jia Dongxu, are you two very happy?”
Chen Jianye walked up to them.
“Jianye, if you need to do anything in the future, ask me first.”
“Don’t always think you can do everything alone. If you want to do things well, there’s a lot you need to learn.”
Yi Zhonghai put on airs and took the opportunity to lecture him.
“Yes, follow the Master and you won't get lost.”
Jia Dongxu chimed in from the side.
Chen Jianye raised his hand.
Clap!
A crisp sound landed on Yi Zhonghai’s face, revealing five distinct finger marks.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned, dazed, and foolish.
He couldn't imagine that Chen Jianye would actually slap him directly at the factory entrance.
“Chen Jianye, you!”
Jia Dongxu was furious, he quickly ran to the Security Guard and yelled: “Our Rolling Mill’s old employee was beaten by a hooligan from outside, aren’t you going to do anything about it?”
“Young Comrade, why did you hit someone?”
The Security Guard stood between Yi Zhonghai and Chen Jianye, his expression stern.
Some Rolling Mill employees who were about to enter the factory stopped in their tracks.
Waiting to watch the show.
“Isn’t that Master Yi from the Pliers worker team?”
“He certainly looks like him, was he beaten by that sick young man?”
“Isn’t Jia Dongxu his apprentice? His Master was beaten, why didn’t he do anything?”
Everyone discussed animatedly.
Jia Dongxu felt he was losing face.
Seeing his Master being bullied, should he step forward and teach Chen Jianye a lesson?
Cough cough.
Forget it then.
Jia Dongxu looked down on Chen Jianye in his heart, because he knew Chen Jianye had a problem with his head, and if they fought, he would lose no matter if he won or lost.
If Chen Jianye extorted him, it would be even more worthless.
This was definitely not cowardice, but rather acting with a plan.
Unlike other reckless people.
Moreover, he immediately called for reinforcements for Yi Zhonghai, what else did they want?
