Seeing this, Lou Jingzhai simply looked at Lou's mother and said, "Take Xiao'e to the second floor first. I want to talk to Master He alone."

While speaking, he also winked at Lou's mother, obviously asking her to tell Lou Xiao'e the meaning of He Yuzhu's previous two sentences.

"Hey, Master He, thank you for your hard work today. Please come to our house when you have time in the future."

Mother Lou greeted He Yuzhu with a smile, and pulled her reluctant daughter upstairs.

Lou Jingzhai looked at He Yuzhu:

"Master He, I can see that you are a kind-hearted person, and this matter concerns my daughter's lifelong happiness.

Now, there are only two of us here. What you say today will only come out of your mouth and into my ears. No third person will know it. "

Lou Jingzhai has become one of the largest capitalists in the country, so he is certainly not a simple person. He does not hide anything and speaks directly to the point.

The reason why he married his daughter to Xu Damao was that Xu Damao's job as a film projectionist was indeed a popular technical job.

Secondly, I thought that if there really comes a day in the future, this son-in-law might be able to help me.

At the very least, you cannot hold your own team back at a critical moment, or even take advantage of others’ misfortune.

"Boss Lou, I can't say for sure. I just heard it from someone else."

When He Yuzhu saw Lou Jingzhai's attitude, his heart skipped a beat and a thought popped up in his mind:

It would not be a good thing for anyone to have such a powerful father-in-law in the future.

Lou Jingzhai just stared at him without saying a word, waiting for He Yuzhu's next words:

"Well, I haven't heard that Xu Damao has caused any deaths."

A trace of barely perceptible surprise flashed across Lou Jingzhai's face, but he soon understood the meaning of this sentence and immediately put on a smiling face:

"Hahaha, Master He is such an interesting person. Come to my house more often when you have time."

"Haha, you're too polite, boss. It's fine as long as you like my cooking skills."

He Yuzhu also laughed and found that although he had traveled through time, his skills were still a little shallow in front of an old fox like Lou Jingzhai.

Lou Jingzhai personally sent He Yuzhu out the door, gave him a big red envelope, a small red envelope, and three cloth bags, and asked the driver to make another trip to take him back to the courtyard.

Lou's second floor

Father Lou went upstairs. Mother Lou and Lou Xiao'e were sitting in the small living room talking. They looked over immediately when they saw him coming.

"Eh!"

Father Lou sighed heavily: "Xiao'e, your mother and I only raised you as a child before, and we raised you into a silly girl."

After that, he turned to look at Lou's mother and said, "You have to teach her more these days. She has been raised in a honey pot since she was a child. If she doesn't know how treacherous people are when she gets married, she will suffer a great loss."

"Well, what did you say down there just now?"

Mother Lou nodded and looked at Father Lou. Father Lou smiled bitterly and looked at his daughter:

"He said he hadn't heard of Xu Damao causing any deaths."

"Ah? This is so confusing. What is that?"

Lou Xiao'e blinked her round eyes, her chubby little face full of confusion.

"Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies and attracted so many young wives and girls, but not one of them got pregnant. Is that reasonable?"

Lou's mother whispered something in Lou Xiao'e's ear, and two red clouds immediately appeared on Lou Xiao'e's cheeks.

"Mom~~"

Seeing her daughter's mouth move, Lou's mother guessed what she was thinking and continued:

"Don't you know that those farmers who earn work points in the countryside are eager to squeeze into the city? If she really gets pregnant with Xu Damao's child, she will come to the door to make trouble, right?

Even if we don’t know where Xu Damao lives, the steel mill is so big that it shouldn’t be difficult to find!

"You are too naive, kid. Stay at home for the next two days. Dad needs to think carefully about your marriage."

After saying this, Mr. Lou went downstairs to wait for the driver.

……

At this time, He Yuzhu had already arrived home, and his sister Yu Shui had already washed his dirty clothes.

He placed three cloth bags on the table on the kang and opened them. One contained ten kilograms of flour, one contained tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, cabbages, etc., and the other contained five kilograms of fatty pork.

Inside the big red envelope was a stack of brand new big unity notes, totaling 500 yuan. I guess most of this was due to Xu Damao's contribution.

Inside the small red envelope were a bicycle ticket, a radio ticket, a watch ticket, as well as some candy tickets, cloth tickets, cotton tickets, and so on.

This trip earned him more than what he earned in the steel mill in two years.

As for the fact that he stabbed Xu Damao in the back, He Yuzhu really didn't feel any guilt at all.

Putting aside the original plot, this guy was extremely wicked. Not only did he abandon Lou Xiao'e, he also brought people to the Lou family to confiscate their property in order to take his place.

Since he was a child, Xu Damao has been instigating the boys in the alleys to block Sha Zhu. During those years, Sha Zhu was hardly treated well.

If it weren't for the deaf old lady protecting him, he would have become a frequent visitor to the juvenile detention center.

However, there is one thing He Yuzhu can swear, it is definitely not because he has always been plain, but the thief Xu Damao came to the half-closed door, fighting Qin Huairu with five steamed buns, and helping the young girl and the young wife to save seats.

Damn, we are from the same courtyard. Why do you, Xu Damao, have so many tricks and have been through hundreds of battles, while I, the great God of War of Siheyuan, have to remain simple all the time?

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

As soon as He Yushui entered the room, he saw his brother in a daze, with a look of... indignation and ferocity in his eyes?

"It's okay. How are you doing in school?"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and asked casually. His sister Yu Shui has always been strong and independent, and he basically doesn't need to worry about her. He just wants to divert his attention.

"It's fine, brother, you don't have to worry about it."

Yu Shui said this with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Li Shengli and Li Heping from the Li family in the front yard coming in from the moon gate and looking around towards the central courtyard.

With a creaky sound, the door of the Jia family opened a crack, and Banggeng slipped out from the crack and trotted towards the Li brothers.

When the two Li brothers saw Banggeng, they turned around and walked outside. Banggeng ran even faster and disappeared in the middle courtyard in the blink of an eye.

"What are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu glanced outside and only saw the back of Banggeng's head.

"Oh, nothing. It's just Li Shengli and Li Heping in the front yard. They seem to be looking for Bang Geng. Bang Geng just ran out with them."

He Yushui said this casually, but He Yuzhu frowned.

If he remembered correctly, Banggeng was only five years old this year? Lee Seungri and Lee Heping were eleven and thirteen respectively, could they play with Banggeng?

"I'm going to go out for a while, you go do your thing."

He Yuzhu put the three cloth bags into the chest of drawers, walked out of the house and chased the three children.

Not long after leaving the hospital, I saw Li Shengli standing at the door of the men's restroom looking around, but Li Heping and Bang Geng were nowhere to be seen.

He Yuzhu walked towards the public toilet with a natural look. Li Shengli suddenly became nervous and stammered:

"Silly... He, Uncle He..."

"Victory? It stinks. What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu looked calm as usual and walked straight into the men's restroom, where he saw Banggeng and Li Heping pretending to tie their belts and walk out.

There was a five-cent bill with half of its edge sticking out of his trouser pocket. He must have put it in his pocket in a hurry when he heard Li Shengli's voice just now.

"Silly... He, Uncle He..."

Banggeng was obviously feeling guilty. He stammered and shouted and ran away. However, Li Heping just glanced coldly at He Yuzhu and walked out of the toilet.

When He Yuzhu went back, he happened to meet Liang Youan and Xu Gang at the gate, accompanied by a young man wearing black-framed glasses.

The man looked to be about 25 years old, with fair complexion, sharp eyebrows and handsome eyes, and he was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit.

He had two buttons on his chest undone, and his every move exuded an elegant, gentle and approachable temperament.

"This is a scoundrel!"

He Yuzhu muttered to himself in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face:

"Hey, I thought you guys would come on time."

"Hey, why don't you come over at the right time and make it together? It's not easy to have a good meal these days!"

Liang Youan smiled and waved at He Yuzhu, and when he came closer, he introduced:

"This is Fang Zisen. He works at the street office. He came here today to have a good meal."

"Zisen, this is He Yuzhu, the foreman of the steel mill cafeteria. He is very good at cooking. You will know when you try it."

"Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu."

Fang Zisen smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took a look and found that although Fang Zisen's hands were very white, they had a lot of calluses on them, which must be due to his martial arts training.

"Hello, Leader Fang."

He also smiled and shook hands with Fang Zisen. Liang Youan on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said impatiently:

"Okay, we're all brothers, stop pretending."

After that, he punched Fang Zisen and said, "We are all otters crossing the river, don't pretend to be dogs paddling here."

"Hahaha, come inside and talk, come inside and talk."

He Yuzhu smiled and led the three people into the yard, through the moon gate, and into his own room.

"Let me tell you, Fang Zisen is a complete smiling tiger. His mind is denser than a sieve. He has always sold you out and you still help him count the money."

Xu Gang had become familiar with He Yuzhui these days, and while helping to wash the vegetables, he talked to He Yuzhui about Fang Zisen.

He Yuzhu took out the ingredients given by Lou Jingzhai from the chest of drawers, and also took out the fish, old hen, vermicelli, and Northeastern dried goods that Yu Shui bought at the market.

"Hey, Brother Gang, let me tell you, I have a good way to deal with people like this."

"any solution?"

Liang Youan, who was squatting under the stove and lighting the fire, also became interested. He looked up and asked:

"It's very simple. At the steel mill, everyone calls me Shazhu. No matter how many ideas you have, I am a stubborn idiot who can't understand anything!"

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, Liang Youan and Xu Gang burst into laughter. Fang Zisen couldn't help but raise his leg and kick each of them.

"Okay, okay, it seems that there is still too little work at hand."

As Fang Zisen was speaking, he turned to He Yushui, who was peeling potatoes at the side, and said:

"Sister, as a girl, don't be so busy, just wait and eat.

Let's leave these rough jobs to those two grown men."

He Yushui looked up and smiled, then continued to peel potatoes.

With four grown men and He Yushui, lunch was quickly served on the table. As usual, He Yushui took two large bowls to eat at the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

Firstly, there were so many grown men at the table that it was inconvenient for a girl like her.

Secondly, He Yushui always felt a little uncomfortable in front of these people.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills are really good. He stewed chicken and mushrooms with vermicelli, boiled fish, three fresh vegetables, Mushu pork, Chinese cabbage with oil residue, shredded potatoes, braised beef, and cold-mixed black fungus...

As soon as the dishes were served, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.

Liang Youan and Xu Gang didn't even know how to write the word "politeness". They started eating as soon as they sat down.

Fang Zisen looked gentle and polite, but he was not at all picky when it came to eating.

What surprised He Yuzhu was that although this guy ate elegantly, his speed was not slower than Liang Youan and Xu Gang who were wolfing down their food.

The four rough old men didn't say a word. They just ate their food with their arms rolled up. After more than ten minutes, when all the plates on the table were empty, they slowed down and started chatting.

"Zi Sen, what do you think? Brother, am I right?"

Xu Gang wiped the oil off his mouth, looked at Fang Zisen with a smile, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, absolutely right, Zhuzi's cooking skills are really amazing."

Fang Zisen put down his chopsticks and nodded, saying:
