Siheyuan: I am stupid, I don't want to be a bootlicker

At noon, Deputy Director Li called He Yuzhu to his office:

"Zhu Zi, how about it, do you have any idea about the position of section chief?"

Deputy Director Li went straight to the point. In order to save Hu Jianshe, Mrs. Yang went to find his wife in person.

Director Yang also made a compromise and let go of the logistics department.

"I've only been the canteen director for a few days. It's not appropriate for me to go up there."

He Yuzhu shook his head and refused. Now he was the canteen director and kitchen foreman.

He thought this was a good idea.

"You really have no idea?"

Deputy Director Li narrowed his eyes and confirmed it.

“Last Sunday, my wife went to the hospital for a check-up and found out she was pregnant.

I just want to stay at home and take care of her, and wait until she has given birth to the baby safely before considering other things."

Ever since his father-in-law got in touch with Uncle Meng, he no longer had any worries.

Now, I just need to be at peace and do my job as the canteen director well.

The higher you stand, the more you have to pay.

He Yuzhu believes that he is not cut out to be an official, and that as long as he can live a down-to-earth life, that's enough.

"Okay, then I won't say any more."

Deputy Director Li nodded:

"I'll get you some good food at home tonight to nourish your brother and sister-in-law."

"Oh, that's great, I'll definitely go!"

When He Yuzhu heard that there was something to be taken, he immediately laughed.

"Look at what you have done!"

Deputy Director Li said something unhappily, and He Yuzhu got up and left the office.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, He Yuzhu went home early.

My mother-in-law just came over and is helping to clean up.

"Mom, you're here."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, then washed his hands and took some rice from the chest of drawers.

"Let's eat rice today, okay?"

"Okay, eat whatever you want."

Mother Lou smiled and nodded, then went into the kitchen with her son-in-law to help pick vegetables.

The two of them chatted and laughed, and when the dishes were served, Lou Xiao'e also came back.

"Hey, Mom, you see, your daughter is a lucky eater.

She came back just as the food was coming out of the pot. ”

He Yuzhu joked with a smile, and Lou's mother couldn't help laughing.

Lou Xiao'e washed her hands and sat down to eat when her father came in from outside again.

"Hey, Dad, why are you here so early today?"

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised because usually her father would not get home until dark.

"Well, nothing to do today. I came back early."

Father Lou responded with a "yes", and although he smiled, his expression was not good.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to get a set of bowls and chopsticks for his father-in-law, and then sat down again:

"Dad, is there something wrong?"

Lou Jingzhai shook his head slightly and sighed:

"Nothing happened. A worker on the farm died when he returned home from get off work yesterday.

Today, the Municipal Public Security Bureau went to the farm to question us.”

"What's going on?"

He Yuzhu, Lou Xiao'e and Lou's mother looked at each other in surprise.

"The police didn't say much, just that I was stabbed with a knife by a thug on my way home yesterday.

However, the road he took was too remote and no one noticed him.

If he had been sent to the hospital in time, he might have been saved."

Lou Jingzhai explained two sentences,

Although he was on his way home from get off work, Lou Jingzhai still gave this man a hundred yuan in compensation.

There are so many people who are secretly hoping that something bad will happen to him when he runs this farm, and he wants to handle everything properly.

"Xiao'e, be careful after get off work next time. No, don't go to that shift."

What Lou Jingzhai is most worried about is his daughter.

"Dad, don't worry, I have discussed this matter with Brother Zhuzi.

There are two older sisters in my unit who also live here. I go home with them after get off work every day."

Lou Xiao'e knew that her father was worried about her, but she really liked this job.

Although she doesn't make any money, she feels that her life is fulfilling and meaningful every day.

"Dad, it's you on the contrary. Hou Shu'er is not with you now. You come home so late every day, so you should be more careful."

What Lou Xiao'e is most worried about is her father.

After all, their family used to be capitalists, and anyone with ulterior motives would know that if they asked around, and they would be easily targeted.

"Don't worry, I talked to Agui tonight and asked him to follow me in the future."

Lou Jingzhai knows the importance of things and never jokes about his life and property.

"Well, we still need Uncle Hou to follow us. If anything happens, he can take care of us."

He Yuzhu also echoed the sentiment, thinking that at a time like this, one’s life is more important.

The family ate and talked for a while.

It was mainly Father Lou who was talking and everyone was listening.

He went to the military district this morning and had almost finished discussing the issue of supplies for the troops.

The troops use a large amount of them, and some supplies must be guaranteed to be available all year round.

Fortunately, the leader Meng, who was responsible for making the final decision, did not offer a high price, but he did not lower the price either.

Lou Jingzhai directly signed the document with the other party, put his fingerprints on it, and finalized the matter.

From the time his daughter married He Yuzhu to now, Lou Jingzhai's life has undergone tremendous changes.

Especially after listening to his son-in-law's advice, he felt that starting this farm was the right step.

When he signed this today, it was like welding a talisman firmly to his body.

The next morning, everyone in the yard went to work and did laundry.

Qin Huairu arrived at the workshop early in the morning.

She couldn't sleep again last night.

Yesterday afternoon, Hu Jianshe took her to a remote courtyard.

The courtyard looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is well decorated inside.

There are three main rooms and two side rooms, and the furniture inside is obviously good stuff.

What’s even more amazing is that there is a large bathtub in the bedroom of that room.

Moreover, as long as the fire is lit, hot water will flow from the tap.

Qin Huairu had only heard of such houses before, and this was the first time she had seen one.

After serving Hu Jianshe in the bathtub for the whole afternoon, Hu Jianshe squinted his eyes and hummed.

When I climbed out of the bathtub, my legs felt weak.

The old saying is true: there are only oxen that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death.

Of course, these are not the reasons why Qin Huairu suffers from insomnia.

What really made Qin Huairu sleepless was what Hu Jianshe said to her after the incident:

"Huai Ru, given our relationship, I will tell you everything I want to say.

I don’t have a proper job right now, so I plan to work with a friend.

Don't ask me what I do. I do whatever makes money.

If you are willing to cooperate with me, we'll split the profit 70% to 30% with 70% for me and 30% for you.

Of course, if you are willing to do more, I will give you another June 4th."

Qin Huairu is not stupid, she knows what Hu Jianshe means by this.

However, this matter was too big, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't find anyone to discuss it with.

"Of course, I won't force you. Just take your time to think about it and give me a reply on Sunday."

After Hu Jianshe finished speaking, he pinched Qin Huairu's face with a smile:

“I understand your situation, it’s not easy.

You are a smart person and you should know how rare this opportunity is."

After that, he went out:

"The key to the courtyard is under a brick on the right side of the gate. If you have figured it out, come find me here."

All morning, she operated the machine absent-mindedly, pressing parts, and felt extremely irritated.

Coincidentally, at this time, the second uncle came over and patted Qin Huairu's shoulder with concern:

"Huai Ru, you seem absent-minded this morning, is there something on your mind?

Why not tell me and I'll help you think of a solution."

"what?"

Qin Huairu was startled, and when she came to her senses, she saw that it was the second uncle, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, you scared me.

I'm fine, just take care of yourself."

"Huai Ru, look, we are all from the same courtyard, and I am the second uncle in the courtyard.

How come we are still alienated?"

The second uncle has been having a very uncomfortable time these days.

Ever since Second Aunt came back, Huairu has never gone to her house to eat eggs again.

His...his heart really hurts.

And the tigress in her own family, relying on the support of her mother's family, finds fault with her every day.

His belly is so big that he can't even squat, and he asks me for money every day.

These days, he hugged his tigress every night with his eyes closed, thinking of her as Xiao Huairu.

But the tigress still had to speak up from time to time, reminding herself again and again that she was not her little Huairu.

Today, I really can't help it.

"After get off work today, I'll go to the market and buy a pound of eggs. Let's have a few drinks. What do you think?"
