Chapter 174 Yi Zhonghai’s heart is with the Jia family.
"I really didn't expect that Old Xu has already taught so many apprentices. These are not just apprentices, they are Dongsheng's future connections. It seems that the Xu family is the one we can't afford to offend the most in our hospital."
Xu Dongsheng stayed at Shen Xiuping's house, but the courtyard began to discuss Xu Dongsheng's family. They saw the people who came to Xu Dongsheng's house to pay New Year's greetings today. The lowest level was a fourth-level blacksmith, and they might even have apprentices. It seems that Old Xu really taught people without holding back and taught them wholeheartedly in recent years. Otherwise, how could those who came to Xu Dongsheng's house for dinner today be sincere?
Little did they know that there were only three or two apprentices from Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard who came to pay New Year's greetings. Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level fitter, and Jia Dongxu was taking care of him now, but no one came to pay New Year's greetings.
"That's right. Old Xu is really a secretive person. If he wasn't about to retire, these disciples probably wouldn't come back to his house to pay New Year's greetings, for fear of causing trouble for Old Xu. Now that he is only a year away from retirement, his disciples have begun to come out to support Old Xu. As long as anyone dares to mess with Old Xu's family, a word from them can alert the leader to deal with you.
However, even if these apprentices of Lao Xu did not come out to support him, no one would dare to mess with Lao Xu. Don’t you think about it, the salary of both father and son is more than 100 yuan. Even if Lao Xu retires, they still have a salary of more than 100 yuan and live such a good life. Moreover, Xu Dongsheng is a purchaser and he can complete the task every time. Think about it, would Xu Dongsheng have no connections?
Besides, whether they are doing well or not has nothing to do with us. Our family is quite low-key now. You didn’t even write Spring Festival couplets for everyone last year. Everyone probably thought you were depressed now.”
Aunt Yan looked at Yan Bugui who was sitting on the edge of the bed and spoke to him with a smile on her face.
"Hmph, I'm just avoiding the limelight. A gentleman hides his talent in his heart. Now the eldest brother works so hard and pays us money every month. The second, third and fourth brothers are studying so hard now. Sooner or later, our family will be prosperous. When Old Yi can't bear it anymore, I will get the house deed. After Old Yi passes away, it's time to arrange a marriage for the eldest brother. Now our eldest brother is a worker. I guess it's impossible for him to find a beautiful worker, but he can still find a good city girl.
As for the Xu family, as long as Xu Dongsheng is fine, they will live a good life. But, as you said, it has nothing to do with us. We really can't do anything to the Xu family. Xu Dongsheng is still young and not old enough to get married. Besides, the people I know in this circle are all ugly and older. Even if Xu Dongsheng reaches the age to get married, I guess they won't look down on him and won't be able to take advantage of him.
Besides, Xu Dongsheng is a black-hearted guy, and now he has so many connections. If we provoke him, he will probably be even more black-hearted. We shouldn't get involved in such thankless things. The only people we can get involved with now are Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.
As long as Yi Zhonghai has no money, the deaf old lady and his house will start to lose. When the time comes, we will get both Yi Zhonghai and the old lady's house, hehe, then the second and third sons in our family will have their own houses. As for the fourth son, he is still young, and he will have to get married when he grows up, so he can forget about the house."
Yan Bugui said thoughtfully that his current target was the backyard, just waiting for Yi Zhonghai to run out of money sooner so that he could reach out to him.
While Yan Bugui was talking about Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai was also thinking about the seven or eight tables set up at Xu Dongsheng's house today. He knew about Xu Dongsheng's fellow apprentices, but he couldn't understand why Xu had so many apprentices, as it had only been about twenty years since Old Xu joined the steel mill. Xu Dazhuang was just a nobody before, and he didn't care about Xu Dazhuang taking in apprentices. He never thought that Xu Dazhuang would have so many apprentices above level four.
Think about it again, he himself, during the Chinese New Year, few of his apprentices came to visit him to wish him a happy new year. Thinking back to the past, when he taught his apprentices, he did not keep any tricks in reserve, but relied entirely on the apprentices to comprehend on their own, and if they could understand, they would read, and if they could not, it did not matter.
Only Jia Dongxu taught seriously and took the initiative to give advice, but Yi Zhonghai did not regret it. If it were not for this partiality, would Jia Dongxu choose to support him in his old age? Obviously, it was impossible, so when it came to teaching apprentices, he only felt that his apprentices were not intelligent enough.
But now seeing so many of Xu Dazhuang's disciples coming to wish him a happy new year, this is not just a greeting, this is a backup for Xu Dazhuang. Even if Xu Dongsheng fails in the end, these disciples of Xu Dazhuang can still protect him.
If Xu Dongsheng could become successful, these disciples would be Xu Dongsheng's network of contacts. Unfortunately, Xu Dongsheng did not follow Xu Dazhuang's path. If this path had become Jia Dongxu's way, then Jia Dongxu would definitely be able to take advantage of it and take off.
Yi Zhonghai could only feel envy and jealousy, and didn't have much to do about it. However, he was also thinking, since Xu Dongsheng couldn't use these connections, could he let Jia Dongxu build a good relationship with Xu Dongsheng and let Xu Dongsheng act as a middleman in the future?
But after thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai felt that it seemed feasible. However, this might require him to persuade him. After all, he used to be the eldest uncle in the courtyard, and he had some advice for Xu Dongsheng. Moreover, he had watched Xu Dongsheng grow up. He couldn't refuse to help, right?
Yi Zhonghai has now devoted himself to Jia Dongxu's family. During dinner tonight, Yi Zhonghai almost told Jia Dongxu everything, but was stopped by the deaf old lady. He is very satisfied with his current life. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu are virtuous, respectful and filial, and Banggeng is intimate and clingy. Every meal is of the same standard as the Jia family's. He is impartial and respectful to him and the deaf old lady.
Even Jia Zhang seemed to be indifferent to Yi Zhonghai because of his paralysis. Although she couldn't say she liked him, she wouldn't say anything cold to him either. Yi Zhonghai expressed his understanding of this. After all, his own son brought an elderly person from another family to his home to support him. Even if he gave him living expenses, he would still be somewhat dissatisfied.
Moreover, apart from the living expenses requested by Jia Zhangshi at the beginning, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu had never actively asked for anything else. Sometimes Banggeng just brought it up as a joke, such as the sewing machine mentioned earlier and the bicycle he promised to buy for Jia Dongxu today, which were both the result of Banggeng's joke and his own consideration.
Therefore, Yi Zhonghai has completely started to consider Jia Dongxu's family, and only hopes that Jia Dongxu can get better and better. He has already started to pass on his knowledge to Jia Dongxu. Although it is not one-on-one hands-on tutoring on the spot, after teaching the theory, as long as Jia Dongxu practices it, after proficiency in two years at most, he will have no problem passing the third level.
Not only Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were thinking about the situation in Xu Dongsheng's family, Liu Haizhong was also thinking about it. However, Liu Haizhong did not think much about it. After all, except for him, he did not go to wish New Year's greetings to any of the uncles in the courtyard when Xu Dongsheng paid New Year's greetings this morning.
Moreover, how could Xu Dongsheng, a purchaser, jump to the workshop? So even if Xu Dazhuang had many apprentices, they were just to provide Xu Dazhuang with a safety net. If Xu Dongsheng couldn't take good care of him, they could help him in his old age. But he had three sons, and the eldest son, as the heir, was so successful. How could he compare?
