Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 412 Asking for trouble
All the employees in the steel rolling mill below were talking about it. They didn't expect Professor Xu to be so capable. Uncle Niu stood up and said.

"Xiao Zhu is right. Professor Xu, don't worry. You live in this courtyard. As I said just now, everyone is your relative. If you have any questions, please speak up."

Professor Xu quickly stood up, Zhu Xuefeng shook his head slightly, and Professor Xu could only wave his hand.

"It's not as bad as what Xiao Zhu said. The new project has achieved some results and may indeed be launched this year. However, this is not the result of me alone. It is the result of the joint efforts of so many employees in the steel rolling mill."

"I haven't said it yet. Now I am also a member of the steel rolling mill. It is only right to contribute my meager strength to the development and development of the steel rolling mill. I hope that we can all work together to make the factory more prosperous and that every household can live a better life. Let’s go to better days. Chef He has personally prepared a sumptuous lunch today. Let’s get started before it gets too cold.”

Everyone started in a lively manner, especially a few young men, who quickly cleaned up a bowl of braised chicken without any scruples, which made Bang Jian almost cry. He couldn't steal it from the two brothers of the Liu family and the two brothers of the Yan family. The brothers only grabbed a chicken claw and looked at the two Liu brothers who were feasting bitterly.

"Isn't he just a technician? If Xiao Zhu gives me a thumbs up, he will almost reach the sky. The same goes for these people. They stick to each other one by one and have no backbone. Alas!"

The second uncle sighed on the side, but no one paid attention. After the year, their team had a safety accident, and after the team leader was raped, the second uncle withered, and his presence in the compound became very low. No one knew that Chen Rui had been secretly paying attention to him.

"Professor Xu, who is sitting next to you? You don't want to introduce me. Is there any happy event coming next?"

Seeing that Professor Xu was a friendly person, he would drink to everyone's toasts. He obviously didn't have much capacity for alcohol, but now his face was flushed. He still thought that he would welcome everyone who came, and the neighbors down below were also open-minded. I saw the old Liu family in the backyard. Zi took the lead in shouting. He is also an employee of the steel rolling mill.

"You were so careless that you disappeared. Grandma is full. Take me back. Grandma can't stand the noise of so many people."

"Well, what's wrong with my daughter? She is Professor Xu's target."

"I'm so happy today. He drank a lot, more than he can handle. Please forgive me, everyone. Eat slowly. I'll take Lao Xu to clean up."

"This, this is my partner. I came here today specifically to get to know you all. Please take care of me in the future..." Before he could finish his words, Professor Xu swayed, obviously drinking too much.

The deaf old lady poked Silly Zhu's forehead and said, "How can I know what you are thinking? The eldest son of the old Zhu family in the front yard is also an intellectual. Aren't you also very close? Both families are as good as one." Like a human being, after this, you become a family, so you should pay attention to some things."

Seeing Professor Xu staggering, Chen Rui quickly stood up and supported him.

"Old Ancestor, what are you talking about? I have to do something this year. This girl is Professor Xu's target. We have nothing to do with each other. Don't make nonsense, it won't be good for others to hear."

Professor Xu actually didn't drink much at this moment. Zhu Xuefeng and Chen Rui were watching, but his face was as red as a cloud beside the sunset. Looking at Chen Rui beside him, Chen Rui felt a little panicked at this moment. There are a lot of teacher-student romances at this moment. People are disgusted.

"You silly boy, is this what grandma means? I'm telling you, this woman is not simple. From now on, don't get too close, or you may hurt yourself."

Silly Zhu nodded. He had already heard Zhu Xuefeng's introduction and instructions.

"Zhuzi, have you seen the girl just now?"

"That girl will definitely not be a good person in the future. You should avoid this kind of woman."

"This little girl is so good. She is so elegant and graceful. So many people are looking at her without being afraid at all. Pillar, pillar."

"Grandma, you are looking for me, come here."

The old lady freed up a hand and patted the fool on the top of his head.

Silly Zhu was a little depressed. He was not taking advantage of the old Zhu family, so why did the old lady speak so unfavorably? However, he was an old man and could not refute, so he could only speak vaguely.

Silly Zhu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Grandma, please be careful. He is an intellectual, and he is not the same person as us who kill pigs and cook. We can't get along with each other. I’ve heard about who Professor Xu is. He’s a cadre in the fourth grade and the ninth grade. If he becomes an official, he’ll be a deputy director. We can’t afford this kind of person. Please relax.”

Silly Zhu was greeting Liu Lan and his disciples. Logically speaking, they had to eat after the wedding banquet. As Xiao Zhu said just now, they all ate together in the courtyard, so there was not so much fuss. A few kitchen helpers had been busy all morning. In fact, He was already hungry, and when Silly Zhu heard it, it made sense, and then he made arrangements to let his apprentice and the kitchen help prepare the meal.

"Thank you grandma for reminding me, I will pay more attention in the future."

Silly Zhu had no choice but to help the old lady up and walk to the backyard.

"There are treasures in that cellar. Why can't you let others in and out? Now you are alone, but in the future you will be a family. There is some distance and propriety. You must grasp it yourself. Don't wait until you are disgusted by others." By then it will be too late and there will be no friends left.”

What I was thinking about was that there was something strange in this yard again. Who was talking in the old lady's ear? It was really strange. Xu Damao, the shady thing behind the scenes, was gone. Who was it? This person It must be in the backyard. There must be no one in the front yard, outer yard, or middle yard who has the shamelessness to go to the back room to talk to the old lady.

After sending it to the old lady, Shazhu returned to the table and was still thinking about who it was. At this moment, Professor Xu must have vomited and came back. His face was a little pale. Chen Rui persuaded him to rest, but Professor Xu refused. .

"We are the master's family today. Let's go have a rest and let everyone sit down in peace. Besides, I just had a few drinks. It's okay. I just want to try Chef He's skills."

Chen Rui had no choice but to give up and glance at Zhu Xuefeng. Zhu Xuefeng smiled at her and shook his head. Zhu Xuefeng knew that Professor Xu didn't have a few drinks at all, but he didn't have time to eat anything. Everyone was quiet now, just in time for him to eat.

"Professor Xu, I see you are not young anymore. Since you have a partner, when will this happy event be held? There are so many happy events in this yard this year. If you do it too, the front yard, middle yard, and back yard will all be happy. , Haha, sir, do you think our compound will be blessed with good luck and happy events this year?"

Everyone started talking happily. Basically everyone knew about the happy events of the third uncle's family, including Silly Zhu. "Zhuzi, when will your happy event be held? Will you be with the eldest son of the third uncle's family? It would be fun if we could get together, hahaha. Where are you, Professor Xu?"

Professor Xu's pale face turned red again, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, it's still early."

If Chen Rui didn't graduate, there would be nothing they could do. The relationship between the two was also one of the reasons why Chen Rui left school at that time. There has never been a shortage of teacher-student romances on campus, and there may be very few of them. Most of them are students and Both teachers were criticized and then died.

"Don't think about it. Professor Xu has to wait until he is assigned a new house to do things. He thinks he is just like you. He is a key talent and will not live here for long. When the family area outside the city is built, the general If you don’t have water and electricity, you have to move.”

The second uncle also drank a lot of wine at this time. He rarely shouted, and the whole courtyard suddenly became silent.

Everyone knows that the factory is building a family area. It is said that the total area is not small, and there are many houses. Those who have tight accommodation conditions at home have already taken notice. However, the factory has not heard of any distribution plan at all. How can I hear about a new family member? It was quite unpleasant for the transferred technicians to be assigned new houses. You must know that everyone has worked in the steel rolling mill for so many years, and now the houses are allocated based on seniority. Many people looked at Professor Xu unconsciously. changed.

Professor Xu knew in his heart that the factory had told him about this. Considering that it was close to the factory and would be convenient for working overtime in the future, he agreed at that time. Unexpectedly, everyone looked at him differently now.

Chen Rui also knew about this, but now she was helpless and couldn't speak at all. She could only look at Zhu Xuefeng for help.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't know how the factory arranged this matter, but he was very angry when he saw the second uncle disturbed the lively atmosphere with just a few words. Professor Xu was supposed to be his maternal uncle, so how could he do it without knowing it? He was roasted on the fire by the second uncle.

"Second uncle, if the factory assigns you a house in your new family area, would you be willing to move?"

The second uncle regretted it as soon as he said it. There was no point in being a show-off. Now, the eldest son of the Zhu family just threw the conflict to himself.

The huge head turned rapidly, and it took a while before he spoke leisurely.

"I'm not moving. I've lived here for so many years and I'm used to living with the neighbors. Whoever has nothing to do is messing around and moving somewhere."

"That's right, that place is outside the city after all. Who among us is willing to move outside Sijiu City? Besides, it's free to cook and burn gas? I have firewood and a supply of coal. It's good. It can still be used in winter. "

Lao Niu glanced at Zhu Xuefeng and expressed his thoughts loudly. There were only three people in their family and it was good to live here. The new family area was built near the factory. It was also outside Dongzhimen. According to current parlance, that is Outside the city, the surrounding area is surrounded by woods and is very desolate.

"My family is not moving. We bought our house. We only need a place to live in the city. Who wants to live outside the city? It's inconvenient to do anything except go to work. It's great for us. It's next to Shichahai Park. It's a short walk away. There are squares and department stores within walking distance, but there are none of these outside the city. You have to run all the way back to buy something.”

There are also many people who are unwilling to move, and they have expressed their opinions. Indeed, the new family area does not have any supporting facilities. This is not something that the steel rolling mill can solve in the short term. There is no one to live in. It is impossible for these supporting facilities to be included in the planning. Where can we live with them? Nanluoguxiang is a place close to the heart of the motherland.

"We won't go home either. There isn't even a school there. If our children go to school and have a headache, we can't afford it."

"If anyone wants to move, please let me know in advance. Everyone knows that our house is tight. If you want to move, I will go to the street office to apply. Thank you for your support."

The third uncle definitely had no hope of leaving. Seeing that the steel rolling mill had another chance to allocate a house, he thought that his son, who had just become a full-time employee, would have no chance, so he quickly got up and said hello to the neighbors.

Zhu Xuefeng looked around and just said, "Oh, no one wants to move. It just so happens that our family will definitely not move. Third uncle, we are still neighbors, haha."

"You're not an employee of our steel rolling mill now. Even if you want to move, you won't be able to move. I definitely won't move. I'm already emotionally attached to this yard."

Silly Zhu interrupted Zhu Xuefeng again, and his words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere slowly changed again.

The children's table next to them finally made a commotion, and Bangge cried and shouted.

"Liu Laoer, you are not a human being. You will rob everything. Uncle Silly, the chicken drumstick you just gave me was robbed by him again. Please help me get it back."

Silly Zhu was fishing for vegetables in the soup pot with his back on his back. He also turned around this time. Just now he had seen the two brothers of the Liu family fighting for joy. There were so many people. He didn't say much, but secretly added a comment to the stick. Unexpectedly, the chicken legs that came down were snatched away by two brothers again, with the two boys from the Yan family watching eagerly.

"Second uncle, you don't care about your two younger children. Your eldest child, who is a teenager, is always fighting with a little kid. If you tell anyone, it will be a joke. Isn't this an embarrassment to your second uncle's face?"

The second uncle felt angry. For more than half a year, he had always used his own salary to buy some snacks to supplement the overtime work of the team members. The food at home had dropped a bit, but these two bastards were too shameless, in front of so many people. He was fighting for his face with a table full of brats. No one said anything just now. He was still feeling happy in his heart. But now that he was shouted at by Silly Zhu, he couldn't help it anymore.

He quickly got up and walked over. The two brothers of the Liu family panicked when they saw me coming. Liu Guangtian glanced at the chicken legs reluctantly, threw them into the stick bowl, and ran away without looking back. Liu Guangfu saw his second brother running away. , was also excited and ran away. The second uncle looked at the two sons who flew out of the middle courtyard and shouted.

"If you have the guts, don't come back. It's an embarrassing thing."

Banggeng hugged the chicken drumsticks with tears in his eyes and began to eat them. From time to time, he wiped his tears with his oily little hands. Qin Huairu also rushed over and scolded in a low voice. Banggeng ignored him and concentrated on dealing with the drumsticks.

"Everyone, don't laugh. They are all children. When children are not greedy, haha, there is still half a pot of chicken soup. If any table is empty, come and add more."

Silly Zhu raised the big spoon and shouted loudly. The aunts and daughters-in-law on the side all laughed. Qin Huairu glared at Silly Zhu resentfully. Silly Zhu was shocked by the glare. He felt very uncomfortable. You are so good at giving your son chicken legs, and then Trying to smooth things over for him, and getting glared at, it doesn't matter. However, I don't understand why Sister Qin's eyes are full of sadness...

After the interlude, everyone continued to laugh, eat and chat, and the courtyard became crowded and lively again.
