Chapter 41 Little Daughter-in-law

  In the morning, they had just finished moving house, and in the afternoon Yan Yuchen and Liu Jinchang arrived at the county revolutionary committee office to take up their posts.

  Ruan Bixiu took the kids to handle the transfer. Liu Hua was in third grade at Hongqi Middle School, Liu Ye was in first grade at Hongqi Middle School, and Liu Yan was in fourth grade at Liujiashan Elementary School. The new semester is about to start soon, and everyone will be promoted to the next grade level in the second half of the year. Normally, it's not a good time for transfer, but Ruan Bixiu insisted on transferring to the county school immediately. As for Liu Jun, although he had hardly entered the classroom, he was still a nominal second-grade student at Liujiashan Elementary School. This academic record cannot be abandoned, otherwise, there will be many troubles when taking the promotion exam.

  According to Bi-xiu's idea, now that we have moved to the county town and can no longer study with Mr. Zhou, it is time to attend a regular school.

  This matter made Liu Jun feel a headache.

  Ruan Bixiu is right, he's an 8 or 9 year old school-age child, can't just be wandering around all day. It would be embarrassing if people found out that the son of Liu Deputy Director, who's in charge of propaganda work for the county revolutionary committee, isn't even attending school.

  For Liu Jun, unless he goes to university, going to any other school doesn't make much sense. Having barely escaped the "purgatory" of Liujiashan Elementary School, he jumped into the "fire pit" of County Town Elementary School, spending his days mixing with a group of ten-year-olds, which was even more terrifying than the "purgatory".

  The problem is that Liu Jun can't find a solid reason to oppose going to school.

  Transferring schools is a private matter, Liu Jinchai has instructed that the company car cannot be used, even if it's Ruan Bixiu, she must first ask for leave from Lianhua Commune. It's not possible to just not show up without notice, that would be considered absenteeism. This isn't difficult, Ruan Bixiu makes a phone call and the head of Lianhua Commune hastily agrees.

  Chen Songhua voluntarily offered to help with the transfer procedures, speaking eloquently about helping leaders resolve family trivialities, which is what office staff should do. Only when leaders no longer have worries can they focus on considering major county affairs.

  On the first day of "playing" the role of a government official's wife, Ruan Bixiu still couldn't let go. Although she was extremely willing in her heart, after all, there were no familiar friends or acquaintances to talk to at the county school. And she couldn't directly run over and put up a sign with County Revolutionary Committee Vice Director Liu's name on it, that would seem a bit too arrogant. It was just that seeing Chen Songhua's fawning and flattering expression made Ruan Bixiu feel a bit disgusted.

  Ruan Bixiu was not like those ignorant and illiterate housewives, having worked for over a decade and gained much experience at the grassroots level, with an extraordinary eye for people. She always felt that Chen Songhua's passionate exterior hid some uncertain factors. Although being passionate towards people, especially towards leaders' families, was a common problem among those in logistics work, Ruan Bixiu remained exceptionally cautious after Liu Jincheng took office.

  They ruthlessly squeezed out Wang Benqing, Zheng Xingyun and Cui Xiuhuo, these powerful figures, but they may not easily admit defeat. Moreover, their vast forces that remained in Xiangyang County were not touched at all, and who knows how many jealous eyes are staring at the two new nobles of Xiangyang, Yan and Liu families? If they were caught by someone on their first day in office, they would be passive afterwards.

  Ruan Bixiu hesitated, thinking about how to decline Chen Conghua's kindness without hurting his family's face.

  At this time, the British troops arrived and lifted the siege.

  "Director Chen, there's no need for the office to get involved in this matter. I'll accompany Bixiu on a trip."

  Chen Songhua's face lit up with an even brighter smile, nodding repeatedly: "That's great, isn't Director Jie just working at the Education Commission? With you personally taking charge, the problem will naturally be easily resolved."

  The two insiders of the One-Two punch warmly held hands and whispered to each other, Chen Songhua tactfully bid farewell and left.

  "Oh dear, Director Lian, I didn't know you were the head of the Education Committee..."

  Ruan Bixiu said with some embarrassment.

  "Don't listen to his nonsense, what director? He's just an ordinary staff member of the Education Commission office. I used to be a teacher and know one or two familiar faces in several schools in the county seat. I'll accompany you to handle the transfer procedures, it shouldn't be a big deal."

  Ruan Bixiu just smiled: "What else can I say? It's just that it's too much trouble for you."

  "Look at you, what are you saying? Let alone the relationship between Old Yan and Old Liu, we were comrades-in-arms who have been in the same trench."

  Xie Ying smiled and talked about being scolded by Wang Youfu at a reception, but it also became an excuse to get close to Ruan Bixiu, apparently she was also a capable woman.

  Ruan Bixiu nodded, somewhat resentfully: "That Wang Youfu, at that time was really infuriating..."

  Jie Ying waved his hand and said with a big tone: "It's not worth getting angry with petty people..." Then he pointed at Liu Jun and said: "Is this your little Jun, Old Yan often mentions him at home, what a genius!"

  Liu Jun busily bowed and asked how he was doing, with a charming and elegant gentlemanly demeanor.

  Her eyes were smiling and she couldn't help but nod her head as she stroked his hair.

  "Oh dear, this kid is really lovable... Uncle Jian rarely praises people at home, no wonder he likes you so much and wants to recruit you as his son-in-law... Haha..."

  I'm dying of sweat!

  I didn't expect Yan Yucheng to be so gossipy at home either.

  But the prospects he mentioned are indeed tempting, being both a yinwei of the Liu family and a son-in-law of the Yan family, wouldn't life be easy? I just wonder how old the Yan family's daughter is this year, and whether her figure and appearance match his? Hehe!

  Two ladies went out together, and with Jie Ying being familiar with the education system, wherever they passed by, the heads of several schools were all impressed, nodding their heads in agreement, exempting them from entrance exams and tuition fees. The young master and miss of Director Liu's family could attend classes at any time. As for the transfer procedures, Jie Ying said that it was not necessary to worry about it, just make a few phone calls after returning to the unit.

  Liu Jun was transferred to Grade 2 Class 1 of Minzhu Primary School.

  This time, I didn't have to use my relationship with the principal, because the head teacher of Democratic Elementary School's second grade class one, Xie Yanhua, was actually a classmate of Liu Jinchai at Baozhou Normal School. In her previous life, Liu Jun had been in her class from first grade until he changed head teachers after fourth grade.

  Minchu Primary School is not close to Qing Shan Ridge, and adults need to walk for about 20 minutes. Liu Jun's legs are short, so it may take more than half an hour. Fortunately, San Jie also transferred here to attend the fourth grade, so there is a companion.

  Liu Jun originally wanted to make a request to Teacher Xie, asking her not to assign homework and the like. But thinking about it, he decided against it. Writing several hundred characters, doing a few pages of math problems - for other students of the same age, this might take several hours, and some would find it unbearably bitter. For him, however, it was just a matter of waiting with his horse ready to go, completely not needing to worry about anything else, lest others whisper behind his back that he had taken in a little sycophant.

  As for attending classes, Liu Jun would never listen seriously. After all, putting other books under the textbook was something he had done many times at Liushan Elementary School, and it could be said that he was familiar with it.

  Alas, it can only be done temporarily. After thinking about it repeatedly, I still can't find a solution. Others may have a bright future ahead of them, returning with great fanfare like a warrior from the future, immediately showcasing their talents, either smoothly sailing through their careers or riding the waves of commerce, entering with wealth and prestige, exiting with fame and adoration, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, red-faced admirers, one after another, living such a life, even gods would be envious to the point of having bloodshot eyes.

  Like myself, becoming a primary school student again, spending the whole day worrying about grinding in class and racking my brains to earn some small money to eat a meal of meat, there really isn't one.

  Boiling and simmering!

  Seeing her son looking unhappy, Ruan Bixiu asked: "Xiao Jun, why aren't you happy?"

  "What I already know, still need to learn again, what a waste of time."

  Liu Junzheng was full of grievances and couldn't help but complain.

  Ruan Bixiu knew a thing or two, but Ye Xie thought he was bragging and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Jun, do you understand the second-grade curriculum?"

  "Heh heh, don't worry about it, Auntie, being in second grade is nothing..."

  "Oh, so you're saying you've even studied 3rd and 4th grade curriculum?"

  Is that all? But these can't be said to them now. Liu Jun stuck out his tongue and made a face, no longer answering the question, and ran forward with a whoosh. This caused Ruan Bixiu and Xie Ying to burst into laughter.

  ……

  After a busy afternoon, neither of the two mistresses had time to cook dinner. The newly appointed deputy head of Yangyang County stood outside Building 2, chatting idly with someone. A little girl in a floral dress was circling around Yan Yucheng. When she saw Jieying and Ruan Bixiu leading a group of children over, the little girl cheered up and loudly called out "Mom".

  It turned out that this was Yan Yucheng's daughter. She had said several times that she wanted to be his daughter-in-law, and Liu Jun paid a bit of attention to her.

  "Fifi, are you hungry?" Ying Cai lovingly stroked the little girl's head, and with a glance at Liu Jun, she jokingly said: "Fifi, come on, let me introduce a friend to you. This is Little Brother Liu from Uncle Liu's family, your dad often says he wants to marry you off to him as his little daughter-in-law..."

  She smiled with pursed lips after finishing speaking.

  Unexpectedly, Jie Ying is also so gossipy, and she's a perfect match for Yan Yu Cheng.

  Feifei's face turned red with shyness at first, then she curiously sized up Liu Jun for a moment before calling out in disagreement: "Mom, no way, he's younger than me, I'm the older sister."

  Liu Jun only then realized that she was about ten years old, with a goose egg face, extremely large and black eyes, very white skin, looking like a delicate jade, extremely cute, it can be seen that she inherited the good-looking genes of Yan Yuchen and Jie Ying.

  Liu Junde admitted that he was at a disadvantage when it came to the age of girls. With a psychological age of 40, all women under 30 seemed too young in his eyes. When he saw this doll-like little girl calling herself "sister", Liu Jun couldn't help but be stunned.

  Ruan Bixiu smiled and asked: "Feifei, how old are you this year? My little Jun is almost nine years old."

  "See, see, I told you I'm the sister! I was already ten years old last month."

  Sweating profusely!

  A ten-year-old girl has already vaguely understood some human emotions and has passed the age of playing such jokes. In Yan Yucheng and Jieying's eyes, their daughter may always be a child who doesn't understand anything.

  Yan Yucheng had a big smile on his face and winked at Liu Jun with a sly expression.

  Liu Jun suddenly felt uneasy all over, and a wicked thought popped into his mind. He immediately bowed to Yan Yucheng and Xie Ying, saying respectfully: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, hello!"

  Stunning the audience!

  Who would have thought that a 40-year-old still has the mind to play such a nasty trick.

  Liu Jun didn't bother to respond to their astonishment, stretched out his hand to pull his little wife: "Feifei, come on, let's ignore them and go play, I'll tell you a story..."

  Alas, as a yamen runner, this is my first time trying to woo a girl. I don't have a fancy car or fine wine, nor do I have roses or petty capital. All I have are a few stories that I dare not share, and it's really suffocating being a yamen runner!

  As expected, the little wife was not grateful at all, her face turned red with shame, and she dodged behind Xie Ying's body in an instant. However, she couldn't help but bat her big, shiny black eyes curiously up and down to size up Liu Jun.

  Yan Yucheng burst out laughing: "Good kid, you're still trying to get the better of me. Alright, when you grow up, if you really have what it takes, I'll actually let Feifei marry you as your wife."

  Liu Junye burst out laughing and said, "Uncle Yan, let's not rush to open the blank check for now. I'm starving! As the new boss, shouldn't you treat us to a good meal?"

  Also don't know why, Liu Jun's heart is more respectful to Yan Yucheng, and his mouth is even less willing to compromise, taking the opportunity to want to trick him.

  Yan Yucheng laughed and said: "You little stinker, you really know how to climb up the pole, now you're even hitting Grandpa's bamboo stick."

  Liu Jinchai smiled and said: "Director Yan just told me a moment ago. Anyway, no one has cooked yet. When you all come back, I'll invite everyone to have a meal together."

  "Go, go to the small dining room of the hostel, I'll treat you to braised pork belly."

  Liu Jun's mouth began to water instantly.

  It was more than a decade later, and the restaurant had changed its name to Yangguang Hotel. The braised pork belly remained the signature dish, and Liu Jun had eaten it twice, each time stuffing himself full. That feeling of taking one bite and having oil dripping from his mouth was an indulgence just thinking about it.

  This is probably why I became fat and strong in my previous life, it seems that if things continue like this, I will still become a giant of a man in this life.

  Liu Jun raised his thumb: "Indeed, as a leader, the style is different."

  Yan Yucheng was in a great mood, and he gave him a loud slap on the back, laughing and scolding: "You little brat, I've taken my daughter's side, and I still have to treat you to dinner. You'd better remember that you owe me one!"

  Look, father-in-law has not yet become formal, and he is already acting like a patriarch.
