Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

However, Ye Jianchuan didn't intend to pry. He nodded, greeted Lou Xiao'e and the two girls, and then led Qin Huairu directly to the food factory.

On the way to the food factory, Ye Jianchuan finally realized why Lou Xiao'e seemed to be in much better shape today than last night. It turned out that Lou Xiao'e had taken a liking to those two girls!

Okay, it's not that she's interested in the two girls, but rather that she's been eyeing Qin Huairu's two daughters because she hasn't had any children yet.

Since all four of them slept in one bed last night, she and Qin Huairu discussed it and decided to simply adopt the two little girls as their goddaughters!

At this stage, being a godparent is no joke! It means taking on certain educational and even upbringing responsibilities.

This was naturally a good thing for Qin Huairu, no wonder she was all smiles when she woke up this morning.

Ye Jianchuan thought Qin Huairu was happy because she was going to work at the food factory today. But it turns out it was because her two daughters had gotten close to Lou Xiao'e.

Upon arriving at the food factory, Ye Jianchuan went directly to the security office to say hello, and then led Qin Huairu inside to find Secretary Yang.

Both Director Zhou and Secretary Yang knew about the arrangement for someone to work at the food factory, since it was a 'quota' that was agreed upon when Ye Jianchuan was promoted to team leader.

However, Ye Jianchuan naturally wouldn't trouble Factory Director Zhou to do this personally, so he could only ask Secretary Yang.

Secretary Yang did not refuse. After spending about ten minutes registering Qin Huairu, she directly asked Ye Jianchuan to take Qin Huairu to the new workshop to report for duty.

Upon arriving at the new workshop, Ye Jianchuan was immediately addressed as "Director Ye," which made him feel quite arrogant. Qin Huairu, on the other hand, was completely bewildered, as she still had no idea that Ye Jianchuan had been promoted to deputy director.

However, Ye Jianchuan didn't explain much. Instead, he directly assigned Qin Huairu to the group he used to manage, told the people in his old group to take care of her, and then went back to his office to kill time.

. . . . . .

What Ye Jianchuan didn't know was that, at the same time, in the compound, Bang Geng, who liked to steal chickens and dogs, had already started to act again.

Perhaps because he hadn't mastered his divine skills yet, the Thief Saint didn't steal anything from Ye Jianchuan's house, and he didn't even bother with the house of Sha Zhu, which he used to frequently rob.

It's probably because he's no longer with Qin Huairu. If he were to steal from Sha Zhu's house again and get caught, Sha Zhu wouldn't let him off the hook for his mother's sake.

But... if not stealing from Sha Zhu's house, and not stealing from Ye Jianchuan's house, then whose house should they steal from? The answer is simple: their own!

. .. .......

Oh no, no, no, this isn't his own house anymore; he's going to steal from Qin Huairu's house.

After observing and scouting the area in the morning, Banggeng discovered that his mother had already left with Ye Jianchuan, and his two younger sisters had also been taken away by Lou Xiao'e. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity for him?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Banggeng ran directly to the backyard, then pushed open the door and entered Qin Huairu's house. After searching around a bit, he successfully found several eggs inside.

Then he took out the candy that Ye Jianchuan had asked the two little girls to keep for themselves and put it in his pocket. However, after searching left and right, he couldn't find a single penny, which made Bang Geng a little unhappy.

Actually, Bang Geng isn't very bright. He only moved out of here a few days ago, right? Doesn't he know what's in the house?

If you're going to steal, you should wait until your family's financial situation is better before you do it!

However, Bang Geng couldn't help himself. After going back to live with Jia Zhangshi, the food at home didn't seem to be any better than before.

While it's not like we eat cornmeal porridge every day, at most it's just steamed buns, rice porridge, and some stir-fried potato shreds, cabbage, and the like.

In comparison, the lunchboxes that Sha Zhu brought back in the past were probably better than what we eat now. At least we could at least have some meat back then!

(The old man selling quilts isn't just a random passerby; he'll appear again later!! It's just foreshadowing, don't accuse the author of padding the word count!!) Damn.

Chapter 81 The bicycle ticket is in hand!

That's why Bang Geng couldn't hold back any longer, but Qin Huairu had previously threatened him, saying that if he got caught stealing again, he would be sent to a juvenile detention center.

So he didn't have the guts to steal from Sha Zhu's house, Xu Damao's house, or Ye Jianchuan's house. Instead, he ransacked Qin Huairu's place.

In the end, he only took a few candies and a few eggs, and then happily ran back to ask his grandma to cook him two eggs to satisfy his craving.

As for going to class? Bang Geng will still go to class, but being late has become a regular occurrence for him. Compared to that, getting the eggs to eat first is more important to Bang Geng.

. . . . . .

At noon, Ye Jianchuan arrived at the cafeteria for lunch. As soon as Qin Huairu saw Ye Jianchuan, she immediately came up and greeted him with a "127".

Ye Jianchuan wasn't stingy; he ordered two more dishes and then invited Qin Huairu to sit down and eat with him.

Seeing this, several of the older women in the same workshop, who liked to joke around, got excited again.

"Hey, Director Ye, we used to introduce you to potential partners, but you always kept making excuses. Turns out you don't like women your own age. Are you trying to get a younger woman to date an older one?"

"Oh, I see. Director Ye, so you like this kind of thing. Why don't you take a look at my sister and see if she's suitable?"

Ye Jianchuan originally thought that since he had already treated the older women to drinks and a meal yesterday, they would be more considerate in their words. However, he did not expect that the older women would still be so formidable.

Actually, if it were someone else, Ye Jianchuan might be able to use his title of 'deputy director' to put some pressure on them, but for these older women, his title of deputy director doesn't really work!

Although these women aren't officials, those who were able to get into the new workshop, and work in a food factory at that, are definitely not ordinary workers!

These women either have husbands who are directors or section chiefs, or family members who are bureau chiefs or deputy factory directors.

In short, everyone in the family has connections, so Ye Jianchuan could only plead with a bitter face, "Oh, ladies, please go easy on me."

I don't mind being single, but Sister Qin already has three children. You can't just make things up about us like that!

The older women just liked to joke around with Ye Jianchuan, this young man, so after a few casual remarks, they sat down at the table next to Ye Jianchuan and started chatting casually with him and Qin Huairu.

Ye Jianchuan thought this was a good thing, since it would be nice if Qin Huairu could integrate into the group of older women sooner.

Qin Huairu was quite clever. She could tell from Ye Jianchuan's attitude towards the older women that they were definitely not simple people, so she quickly started chatting with them.

Of course, the conversation quickly turned to Qin Huairu's family situation. After all, Qin Huairu was a 'newcomer,' and gossiping about the newcomer's family situation was a common occurrence for these older women.

Qin Huairu, who was also knowledgeable about water, immediately vividly portrayed Jia Zhangshi, the 'wicked mother-in-law,' which instantly won the sympathy of the older women.

In just one lunch and a lunch break, Qin Huairu successfully became friends with the older women in the workshop.

As for Ye Jianchuan... he naturally couldn't appear too intimate with Qin Huairu in the food factory, so while they were still chatting, Ye Jianchuan had already quietly slipped away.

However, not long after returning to his office, good news came knocking. Director Zhou came directly to Ye Jianchuan's office and found him.

"Jianchuan, there shouldn't be any problems with the lunch reception tomorrow, right? I've already sent out the invitations, and if anything unexpected happens, it'll be difficult to handle!"

Ye Jianchuan patted his chest and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. I told Sha Zhu about this last night, and he started making preparations last night."

All the dried goods are already soaking. Tomorrow morning I'll have him come with me to the food factory. One morning should be enough time to cook a few dishes.

Oh, right! I'll be calling someone else over to help, another chef, I heard his family is from the imperial kitchens. He'll be helping Sha Zhu cook. You shouldn't mind, right?

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou laughed and said, "Haha, what's there to mind?! I'd love for you to bring over a few more good chefs!"

As long as the food tastes good, nothing else matters. I'll pay any number of chefs who come!

What Ye Jianchuan actually wanted to talk about wasn't wages, but rather Nan Yi's background...

However, as I just mentioned, their family has a history of imperial chefs, so Director Zhou should have been able to tell. Since the other party said there was no problem, then I don't need to worry about it anymore.

"Alright! Don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly for you! Oh, by the way, the cook I was talking about earlier is the cook at the machine repair shop."

If you want to know more about the machine repair shop, you can talk to him. We're also planning to invite Director Liu from the machine repair shop over, aren't we?

"When the time comes, you can talk to him and ask what Director Liu likes to eat. We'll prepare it for him. Wouldn't that increase the success rate of the business deal?"

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou nodded in satisfaction. "Xiao Ye! You really have a way with things! Good! After we send the workers from the store away tomorrow, I'll have a chat with this worker."

After speaking, Director Zhou stood up. Ye Jianchuan thought Director Zhou was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Director Zhou took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Xiao Ye! You've been promoted to deputy director, and you still walk to work every day. It must be inconvenient. I have a bicycle voucher and some industrial coupons here. You can use them to buy a bicycle, which will make commuting to and from get off work easier."

Ye Jianchuan originally thought he would have to wait until next year to get this, since each unit only gets a few of these per year.

Such sought-after items should, in theory, be mostly allocated by these leaders as soon as they come out. Now that it's almost the end of the year, the factory probably doesn't have any left.

Unexpectedly, the factory manager still had some this week, and not only bicycle tickets, but more importantly, industrial tickets! This meant I could buy a bicycle very soon!

Chapter 82 Treasures Forgotten in Space

Of course, Ye Jianchuan also knew that these things were actually a 'reward' from Director Zhou for arranging all these things, so Ye Jianchuan would not refuse.

Ye Jianchuan accepted the bicycle and industrial tickets, expressed his gratitude, and Director Zhou waved his hand before turning and leaving.

Now that I have the bicycle ticket, the next thing to worry about is the money. Bicycles are incredibly expensive these days; even a simple one costs over a hundred yuan.

Ye Jianchuan could come up with the money, but once he did, his savings would be practically depleted.

So Ye Jianchuan was still a little hesitant about whether or not to buy such a bicycle.

While struggling with his thoughts, Ye Jianchuan started rummaging through the system's storage space. As he did so, he suddenly came across something he had forgotten about.

'Fisherman Never Goes Home' brand bait (20g) 27 This thing was a reward I gave myself along with my super egg-laying hen.

That old hen has laid dozens of eggs, and I not only eat them myself, but also give them away. Even so, I still have more than ten extra eggs in my storage space.

Since the hen that the system rewards is so useful, the bait produced by the system should not be too bad either, right?

If we can catch a lot of fish with this bait, even if fish meat isn't expensive right now, we should still be able to make some money to tide us over, right?

With that thought in mind, Ye Jianchuan made up his mind! He would go fishing later and see how it went!

After figuring it out, Ye Jianchuan immediately stood up, ran over to greet Director Zhou, and excused himself from work, saying he needed to inform Nan Yi in advance to ask for leave.

Although there is no such thing as paid leave at this time, as long as no one says you left early, what difference is there between it and paid leave?

After getting his leave approved, Ye Jianchuan went to the workshop to say hello to Qin Huairu, telling her not to wait for him after get off work, and then he slipped away.

The first stop was naturally to take care of business, so Ye Jianchuan went directly to the machine repair shop, which wasn't too far from the food factory.

Unexpectedly, he ran into "Old Li," whom he had chatted with for a while before, at the security room at the factory gate, and the other party recognized him very quickly.

"Oh? It's you? You're here to see Master Liang again today?"

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Ye Jianchuan saved himself the trouble. "Hey, Lao Li, I'll have to trouble you again this time. But this time I'm not looking for Chef Liang. I want to find Nan Yi, Chef Nan, from your cafeteria."

As he spoke, Ye Jianchuan pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Old Li didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll have someone go and call Master Nan for you!"

After saying that, Old Li turned to look into the security room and said, "You brat! Go to the cafeteria and call Chef Nan out."

Then, a young man in the security room reluctantly stood up and ran into the machine repair shop.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jianchuan chuckled, "Old Li, who's this guy? Why are you acting like this? Is he your son?"

Old Li waved his hand, lit the cigarette Ye Jianchuan offered, took a puff, and then said, "No, how old am I? How could I have such a big son?"
