Chapter 269 Anxious Yi Zhien
At the same time, outside the yard, Yi Zhien was also waiting anxiously. He had been hanging around outside for the entire afternoon, waiting for Li Yuanjun, but he hadn't seen any sign of Li Yuanjun for the entire afternoon.
When it was completely dark, he finally saw Li Yuanjun in the alley, so he hurriedly went up to him and said, "Yuanjun, you're finally back. Where have you been?"
"Hey, you're impatient, aren't you?" Li Yuanjun said, "I went to school to play basketball with a few of my close friends, and we've been playing until now."
"How is it? Did your dad agree to let you join the army?" Yi Zhien asked.
"I agreed. My dad is afraid of my brother. As long as I show him my brother's cards, he will have to obey." Li Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Then...what about my business?" Yi Zhien asked embarrassedly, and then he began to wait anxiously.
"I knew you were going to ask, but my brother didn't agree." Li Yuanjun said.
Upon hearing the news, Yi Zhien said with disappointment, "Ah! I thought things were too simple, but I still want to thank you for the reinforcements."
"Look at you, look at you, you're like this, I haven't even finished talking and you're like this," Li Yuanjun said with a smile, "Although my brother didn't agree to help you on the spot, he said he wants to talk to you before making a decision. What do you think? How about coming with me to see my brother tomorrow?"
"Really?" Yi Zhien said excitedly, and at the same time, the hope that had just been extinguished rose again.
"Why would I lie to you? Is there any benefit in it?" Li Yuanjun said with a smile.
"But what did your brother want to talk to me about? Why did he have to talk before making a decision?" Yi Zhien asked in confusion, "Yuanjun, do you know what your brother wants to talk to me about?"
"My brother didn't say anything, but..."
"But what?" Yi Zhien asked.
"But I can guess one thing, but I don't know if I'm right."
"Tell me, what did you guess?" Yi Zhien asked anxiously.
"Ji'en, if you weren't Yi Zhonghai's son, I wouldn't have to bother telling my brother, he would have agreed," Li Yuanjun said. "I think the reason why my brother wants to talk to you is to see if you are the same person as your father. If you are, my brother probably won't help you. I don't know if you know this, but after listening to what your father did in the past, I feel... Oh! Forget it, it's not this."
"Reinforcements, I treat you as a real friend. Just tell me what you have to say. I won't be angry with you." Yi Zhien said.
"But you asked me to say it, so don't be angry." Li Yuanjun emphasized.
"Well, I don't blame you."
"Actually, I think your father is a despicable hypocrite, the kind of hypocrite who just waves flags and shouts at others to rush forward to kill the enemy. When it comes time to claim military merit, he will definitely be the first one to rush forward. This is the kind of person I hate the most." Li Yuanjun said.
Hearing Li Yuanjun's evaluation of Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhien was not angry. At this time, he wanted to say what he had been holding in his heart for many years. He felt that Li Yuanjun was a very sincere person and could be regarded as a close friend. So, he said, "Yuanjun, in fact, I also look down on my father in my heart. I also think he is very selfish. Do you know why I am called Yi Zhien?"
"I know," Li Yuanjun said with a smile, "My brother's apprentice always makes fun of your name. He said that the reason your father called you Yi Zhien was to ask you to repay the kindness. He also said that your father had said to him before, Zhuzi, don't be so selfish, Zhuzi, learn to respect the elderly and love the young, etc. He just wanted others to take care of him in his old age."
"Reinforcements, you know what? My dad tells me this every day, telling me to be grateful, and that people who are not grateful are no different from animals. He also always tells me to be obedient, saying there are no bad parents, only unfilial children." Yi Zhien complained.
"Haha, so, you have to repay him well in the future, otherwise you will be an unfilial son." Li Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Oh! If my mother wasn't so nice to me, I really want to leave this home." Yi Zhien said.
"Hey, forget it. Why talk about these unhappy things? Are you going to see my brother tomorrow?" Li Yuanjun asked.
"Go, why not? This is my chance to change my destiny in this life, how can I not go?" Yi Zhien said.
"Well, see you tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I'm going back to eat the food my sister cooked."
"Okay, my mom is probably getting impatient, so I have to go home too. You go first, and I'll go back later."
So, the two of them entered the courtyard one after the other. In the courtyard, they basically pretended not to know each other.
As soon as Yi Zhien entered the room, Li Fengjuan asked, "Zhien, is there any news?"
"The reinforcement said his brother didn't agree, and he will beg for me tomorrow." Yi Zhien lied.
Hearing Yi Zhien's words, the hope in Li Fengjuan's eyes disappeared in an instant. "Zhien, it's okay. Your father and I will think of a way for you. Fortunately, you don't have to go to the countryside. We can wait." Li Fengjuan comforted.
"Oh! This Xiao Li is so narrow-minded. Forget it, let's talk about it later! A living person will not be suffocated to death by urine." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.
"Dad, the reinforcements said that you can ask his brother for me. Maybe there is still a chance!" Yi Zhien said.
"I hope so. I'm going to go take a rest first. I'm a little tired today. You two can chat!"
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai got up and went to the inner room.
"Haha, Zhien, are you hungry? Mom will go heat up some food for you. Eat your fill first and the other things can come slowly. Don't get anxious and get angry." Li Fengjuan comforted.
"Okay, Mom! I'm not in a hurry. I'll take my time. Our teacher said that good things take time!" Yi Zhien also comforted Li Fengjuan.
……
Before nine o'clock the next morning, Yi Zhien used the excuse of going to school to wait for Li Yuanjun in the alley outside the gate.
Soon, Li Yuanjun came out, the two greeted each other, and then went to the steel mill together.
After a while, the two arrived at the door of Li Kangri's office. When they got here, Yi Zhien felt uneasy. First, he was looking forward to it, and second, he had been in the hospital for a long time and had never spoken to Li Kangri, so he was a little nervous.
"What's wrong? Why do you look a little nervous? Don't be afraid, my brother is not a cannibal. He is a very easy-going person." Li Yuanjun said with a smile.
Hearing Li Yuanjun's words, Yi Zhien complained in his heart, "That's your brother, of course you are not afraid, go ask those in the yard, who is not afraid of your brother."
"Reinforcements, I'm really a little nervous, I..." Yi Zhien hesitated.
"Hey, go in. Don't worry, I will cover you if anything happens." Li Yuanjun said with a smile.
“Knock, knock, knock!” Li Yuanjun knocked on the door and said, “Brother, are you there? I’m the reinforcement.”
"Come in." Li Kangri agreed.
After pushing open the door, Li Yuanjun looked at Li Kangri with a smile and said, "Brother, I brought Zhien here. Zhien, come over and call me brother."
Hearing Li Yuanjun's words, Yi Zhien nervously walked to the front and said, "Brother Li."
Seeing Yi Zhien's nervous look, Li Kangri said, "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people. Go sit over there, and you go make tea for the reinforcements."
"Okay bro."
After sitting down, Li Kangri said, "Yi Zhien!"
"Ok!"
"I heard from the reinforcements that you also want to join the army?" Li Kangri asked.
"Well, Brother Li, I really want to join the army, but my family doesn't have any connections, so I asked the reinforcements to ask you." Yi Zhien said.
"You are quite honest," Li Kangri said with a smile, "Do you know the relationship between our two families?"
"Yes, my mother would tell me about the things happening in the courtyard from time to time, and also about the relationship between my family and yours. She also told me not to offend you."
