Chapter 55: My man, how can he be so amazing~~

Lu Yuan was still quite famous at the Bing Jia Chang.

After all, he was a good partner—this was the very first position ever opened up at the Bing Jia Chang, and since he hadn't died or been seriously injured, the result was that his wife came to fill his post.

Everyone knew exactly who Lu Yuan was.

For a moment, everyone was somewhat stunned.

And those who truly knew Lu Yuan, such as Pang Kaige, the elders of the courtyard, and some others nearby, were also bewildered.

What the heck??

Praise, reward Lu Yuan??

Our own courtyard's Lu Yuan?!

It must be, after all… isn't this about letting Su Liyan go up on stage…

Why praise and reward this scoundrel!!

Su Liyan stood there, also a bit dazed, but Liu Jie and her group came to their senses, gently pushing the stunned Su Liyan and saying:

"Liyan, don't be dazed—quickly go up on stage."

Having come to her senses, Su Liyan nodded repeatedly and hurriedly walked toward the stage.

At that moment, the people of the Bing Jia Chang who had come to their senses burst into thunderous applause.

Looking at this lovely Su Liyan, everyone sighed, "Su Liyan is truly beautiful."

Even when wearing the same work clothes as everyone else, Su Liyan could make the uniform look like fine attire.

And today, having come here for the meeting, everyone came directly, without changing into work clothes.

Su Liyan dressed in her own clothes hardly looks like a craftsman at all.

This attire and bearing, especially her long hair neatly coiled behind her head, makes her look just like a noble lady, like some leader's wife coming down to inspect the work.

Su Liyan is not only beautiful in appearance; her elegant, mature demeanor is truly beyond words.

However, everyone could only look—let's not mention that current social mores are very proper.

Just speaking of Liu Jie, who is like a tigress, everyone saw Su Liyan and didn't dare utter a single improper word.

If Liu Jie found out, wouldn't she bring those female workers and strip them on the spot to watch the melons?

After Su Liyan went on stage, the director of the Bing Jia Chang, facing the loudspeaker, said:

"In order to commend the contributions of worker Lu Yuan, the factory leadership unanimously decided to reward worker Lu Yuan with three hundred silver dollars and an honor certificate."

Three hundred?

The crowd below blinked, and those who lived with Lu Yuan in the same siheyuan were dumbfounded.

What the heck?!!

Three hundred!!

Just the other day, everyone saw Lu Yuan's family throw out that bag of white flour, which shows what?

This shows that this scoundrel Lu Yuan has almost finished eating the grain he brought back from his father-in-law!!

Probably only some mixed flour and whatever else is left!!

Once they finish the mixed flour, everyone will be able to watch the joke!!

The result……

Three hundred?!

This Lu Yuan isn't going to be able to show off for a long time again, is he?!!!

At this moment, Su Liyan was also a bit dazed.

This?

At this moment, a nearby etiquette lady was holding a red tray, on which lay stack after stack of silver dollars wrapped in red paper.

And there was a large red certificate.

At this moment, the etiquette lady handed everything in her hands to Su Liyan.

This wasn't over yet; immediately, the director of the Bing Jia Chang broadcast over the loudspeaker:

"Furthermore, the factory leadership unanimously decided to retain worker Lu Yuan's position and promote him to Fifth-Rank Forging Worker; once worker Lu Yuan has recovered, he can return to work at any time."

Fifth… Fifth-Rank Forging Worker??

The crowd looked at each other.

This……

This Fifth-Rank Forging Worker… the monthly salary is fifty-seven silver dollars!!

To obtain the position of Fifth-Rank Forging Worker, one must be at least thirty-five years old in the Forging Bureau, with superb skill and having passed the promotion exam.

But as for Lu Yuan, if everyone remembers correctly……

He's only twenty-one!!

He's struck it rich!!

At this moment, those who share the siheyuan with Lu Yuan are dying of jealousy.

A twenty-one-year-old Fifth-Rank Forging Worker—goodness, this is truly unheard of and unseen!!

Afterward, the director then said:

"Furthermore, during worker Lu Yuan's recuperation, his workshop will keep his workstation, always welcoming worker Lu Yuan to contribute his ingenious ideas, to serve the imperial court, to serve the nation—let's give him applause."

Below, another round of thunderous applause broke out.

At this moment, Su Liyan standing on the stage, looking at the crowd below, felt truly proud to the point of bursting.

My man, how can he be so amazing~~

……

In Liu Jie's office, everyone gathered around Su Liyan, chattering away.

On Su Liyan's table lay three hundred silver dollars, and as she looked at the Honor Certificate in her hand belonging to her man, she couldn't stop smiling.

Her man is just too awesome~

Being able to receive an Honor Certificate~~

At that moment, the coworker beside her looked at Su Liyan and sighed:

"Liyan, your man is just too amazing! He's only twenty-one, two years younger than you, and now he's become a Fifth-Rank Forging Worker."

"Yeah, yeah, he makes fifty-seven dollars a month, and adding your twenty, your household now has seventy-seven dollars a month!!!"

"Exactly, with seventy-seven dollars a month, you don't even have to support elders—there's no way you could spend all that money, no matter how you turn it around~"

"From now on, you'll be a wealthy lady!"

At that moment, Su Liyan's face was always wearing a smile; Su Liyan smiled sweetly, and her heart felt as sweet as eating honey.

The female workers around her then exclaimed:

"Before, we thought your man was lazy and shirking work, but we never expected him to be so capable!"

"Yes, yes, Liyan, your man really is capable, unlike my husband……"

At that moment, Su Liyan clung to her man's Honor Certificate, and the smile on her face grew sweeter and sweeter.

Su Liyan didn't say much, but inside she proudly thought, 'My man is the most formidable person in the world~'

…………

At that moment, Lu Yuan still didn't know about the Forging Bureau's affairs; he had just gotten out of bed.

After getting up, he added two lumps of charcoal to the furnace, then washed his face and went to eat.

His wife was keeping his rice warm in the pot.

This life is so comfortable~

After eating, Lu Yuan tidied up, took his fishing rod, and prepared to go fishing.

Just as he led his horse to the front courtyard, Lu Yuan saw a group of old women gathered there.

Huh?

Upon stepping forward and asking, Lu Yuan realized, 'Hey, Gao Tingyu is on another blind date!!'

Why is it so quiet this time?

Last time, Gao Xushi, a week before the blind date, could hardly wait to let everyone in the courtyard know she had found a good daughter-in-law.

Besides, today isn't a workday?

Lu Yuan pulled aside an old woman and asked.

The old woman, unable to help herself, gave Lu Yuan a sideways glance and said:

"It's still because of what happened last time—the Gao family lost face badly, so Gao Tingyu specially took the day off."

Hearing that, Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Last time, everyone in the courtyard was there, and for a week the Gao family was so embarrassed they hardly showed up.

If that's the case.

Alright, I won't go fishing today; let's go watch the excitement~

Seeing Lu Yuan's excited expression, those old women couldn't help but purse their lips.

This troublemaker doesn't know what mischief he'll cause next!

Thanks for the 1500 book coins from the older brother who rewards a bit faster, thank you so much, muah muah~

Thanks for the 600 book coins from the older brother at 'Dream Awakening Moment', thank you so much, muah muah~
