"Yan Bugui, you have no conscience. That vixen has come to your house to protest, and you are still protecting her?"

As he was talking, he was about to pounce on Uncle San and tickle him, but was immediately stopped by Lou Xiaoe:

"Third Aunt, please don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk it out. Fighting won't solve the problem."

The third aunt knew that there were outsiders present, so she gave face to the third uncle and just sobbed and stopped attacking.

Fortunately, today is Saturday, and Lou Xiaoe does not have to go to night school, so the couple is not in a hurry to eat.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, please talk to me. What do you think Auntie will think of such a pretty girl coming to your house?"

He Yuzhu comforted the third uncle while pulling him to sit down on the kang.

The third uncle also looked wronged, and was still trying to explain:

"That's not the case at all. She was just at home, thinking about things.

Xiao Gu is just a little more studious, and she doesn't have any messy thoughts at all."

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard the half-truthful words of the Third Uncle:

Sure enough, when women become bad, they have money, and when men have money, they become bad.

"Uncle, that teacher Gu shouldn't have been hired yet, right? Is she a substitute teacher?"

When the third uncle heard He Yuzhu's question, he immediately said:

"No, the cafeteria recruited a little girl from the village, but she didn't go to school after primary school.

Although she was in the cafeteria, she was very hardworking, studious, and a good girl with progressive ideas. "

When the third aunt heard this, she was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Lou Xiao'e.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this:

"So when did she get to the cafeteria?"

The third uncle thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "I don't remember, but it's been two or three years."

"So when did she come to you to learn how to write?"

He Yuzhu asked another question, and couldn't help sighing in his heart that the "Qin Huairu" of this era are really one after another.

In order to get a formal job and a city hukou, people will do anything.

The third uncle was a very smart man. He immediately understood what He Yuzhu meant and his expression turned a little ugly.

This person used to regard "If you have enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear, you will be poor, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor" as a golden saying.

Although he is not so stingy now, it is not because of his nature, but because he has a bigger vision.

He had always been the only one who schemed against others, and no one else could scheme against him. Now that He Yuzhu had pointed it out, he naturally realized that he was being schemed against by the little girl.

When he met Gulili in the cafeteria before, the little girl ignored him completely.

It seemed that ever since he became the head of the logistics department, the little girl smiled more often, and her hands no longer shook when she served him meals.

"Uncle, just because you don't have that thought doesn't mean others don't have it!

The girl is a temporary worker from the countryside and wants to be converted to a regular employee. Isn't it appropriate for her to come to you, the head of the logistics department?

Uncle, you know how many years you have worked as a logistics section chief, you can't be corrupted by such a little sugar-coated bullet."

He Yuzhu smiled and teased the third uncle, who was immediately so embarrassed that he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.

He admitted that he felt a little disappointed when he looked at Xiao Gu's face, which was so tender that it looked like water could be pinched out of it, and then looked at his own wife's face full of wrinkles.

but……

After watching the fun, He Yuzhu and his wife comforted the third uncle and his wife and then went home.

After entering the central courtyard, they saw Zhang Wen and Hua Honghong coming out of the hanging flower gate and heading towards the Jia family's house.

Hua Honghong was holding half a bowl of meat in her hand, which looked hot as if it had just come out of the pot.

"Director He and Officer Lou are back?"

Zhang Wen and his wife looked at He Yuzhu and his wife and greeted them with a smile.

"Hey, we're all from the same courtyard, and everyone calls me Zhuzi. We're about the same age, so you can call me Zhuzi too."

He Yuzhu responded with a smile, but he felt a little uncomfortable hearing the words Director He and Cadre Lou.

"Okay, then I'll call you Zhuzi like everyone else."

As Zhang Wen was talking, Jia Zhang also heard the noise outside and opened the door and left the house.

Seeing Hua Honghong holding half a bowl of hot fat in her hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he licked his lips subconsciously, almost drooling.

It must be said that ever since Qin Huairu squatted under the fence, there has been no smell of meat in their house since then.

"Zhang Wen and Hong Hong are here, come on, talk in the house."

Jia Zhang hurriedly greeted the two of them. The miraculous thing was that ever since Qin Huairu squatted by the fence, her legs no longer hurt, her waist no longer felt sore, and she felt more energetic day by day.

However, without Qin Huairu's "smart trick" in front of her, she didn't dare to make trouble in the yard, and the yard became much quieter.

"Okay, let's go inside first."

Zhang Wen and his wife smiled at He Yuzhu and his wife and entered the Jia family.

He Yuzhu and his wife also returned home. Little Jiji was crying because he couldn't wait for milk.

When Lou's mother saw the two people coming back, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She would go to make the milk powder after a while.

Lou Xiao'e washed her hands, took the child to the bedroom to feed him, while He Yuzhu went into the kitchen to help Lou's mother bring the food to the table.

After the dishes were on the table, He Yuzhu went to the backyard to help the deaf old lady eat.

That thief Xu Damao had already taken his little green son out for a walk, and Fenglian was the only one in the room busy cleaning up.

The third aunt was also in the house cleaning up around the stove at this moment. Every household had just finished their meal.

There were only two idle people in the entire backyard: Second Master and Hua Qingqing.

At this time, the two were sitting on the kang in Zhang Wen's house and talking. Hua Qingqing had her hair loose after returning home, and looked very relaxed.

She wore a blue long-sleeved top. Although it was not as slim-fitting as the ones in later generations, it was too heavy and the clothes were bulging in front of her chest.

At this time, she was sitting on the kang table with the second uncle, talking about something, and there was half a plate of melon seeds on the table.

The two of them were talking while eating melon seeds. Hua Qingqing seemed to love laughing particularly, and her movements were exaggerated and large.

Then, the two bulging lumps on her chest would hit the table from time to time, making the second uncle's eyes almost pop out.

He Yuzhu even saw that the old man's right hand grabbed subconsciously, as if he had mastered some magical skills like "catching a cow across a mountain".

He turned his head and looked into the second uncle's room. The second aunt had finished her work and was sitting by the window.

Judging from her expression, she obviously knew where the second uncle had gone, but she just didn't show any anger.

Maybe he has completely let it go, or maybe he knows that he will have nowhere to live if he moves out.

In short, He Yuzhu watched the fun and was about to knock on the old lady's door, but he heard a "creak" and the door opened.

The deaf old lady stood at the door with a smile on her face, poking the ground with her cane:

"Dala Sun, why are you calling me today? Where is my granddaughter-in-law?"

"Hey, I went to the front yard to see some fun and came home late today. Little Jiji is crying for milk, and Xiao'e is feeding him now."

He Yuzhu laughed as he spoke, and subconsciously glanced towards the room where Zhang Wen lived.

The deaf old lady raised her cane and tapped He Yuzhu's arm:

"You little bastard, don't get involved. The yard is already a mess."

"Don't worry, grandma. I know what's going on."

He Yuzhu and the deaf old lady were talking as they passed the Chuihua Gate, and saw Zhang Wen and his wife coming out of the Jia family's gate. The bowl in Hua Honghong's hand was empty.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Jia family is so lucky:

Widow Qin originally had Sha Zhu's lunch box to take care of her, and now that she has gone in, Zhang Wen and his wife have come to help Jia Zhangshi.

The two sides said hello and went home.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but wonder what the couple's reaction would be if they returned home and saw that the fat pig of the second uncle had eaten their fresh cabbage.

"What evil idea are you thinking of, you idiot?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was absent-minded, the deaf old lady raised her cane and hit him again, but this time she didn't use much force, just like tickling him.

"Oh my, you old lady, you are going too far! They say that the one who eats is the shortest, and the one who takes is the shortest. Why did you hit me?"

He Yuzhu made a face and helped the old lady walk while teasing her with a playful smile.

"You little brat, you dare to make fun of me, an old lady?"

The deaf old lady raised her cane and hit He Yuzhu's arm twice, but the most she did was just to brush off the dust off his clothes.

He Yuzhu just smiled and helped the old lady into the house, and the family started eating around the dining table.

At this moment, Father Lou pushed open the door and came in from outside.

These days, He Yuzhu has been busy with the canteen and the workers and peasants patrol, and has not seen his father-in-law for a long time.

Both of them were like this: one was coming back, one was still on the way, one had set out, and one had just arrived home.

We ate from the same pot, but didn't see each other for more than ten days.

Father Lou's face looked unhappy, with a hint of sadness between his brows, and it was obvious that he was not happy at work.

When he entered the room and saw that He Yuzhu had not left yet, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face:

"Zhu Zi didn't leave today."

"Hey, Dad, you're back."

As He Yuzhu was talking, he stood up and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for his father-in-law so that they could eat together.

At the dinner table, He Yuzhu asked his father-in-law about his work these days. His father-in-law did not hide anything and told him about the farm:

"After the New Year, the senior leader of the Ministry of Agriculture retired, and the new leader, Xie, advocated frugality, so the daily life of the comrades was not a problem.

However, research is a money-consuming business, and once I started to save money, professors and college students would complain to me every day.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but frowned after hearing this:

"If we skimp on this kind of thing and the research speed lags behind, the loss will be enormous."

"Hey!"

After hearing what his son-in-law said, Lou Jingzhai couldn't help but sigh:

"Who says it's not true? For example, they are researching a vegetable now. They say that if it succeeds, it can grow at least three times a year.

If something with such a short growth cycle is promoted on a large scale, how many lives can it save?"

As a businessman, he understands this principle. So he doesn't believe that the newly appointed leader Xie doesn't understand it?

Humph, it’s just that the ones who are hungry are not his father, mother, son and daughter.

"Then you didn't report the actual difficulties to your superiors?"

He Yuzhu talked to his father-in-law while eating.

“Who said it or not? Those professors and college students jointly submitted countless documents and said it countless times.

But, people just say that our ancestors were able to defeat the enemy with just millet and rifles.

Are the difficulties we face today any greater than those faced by our ancestors?

What our ancestors were able to accomplish, we can certainly accomplish too!"

Lou Jingzhai felt powerless when talking about this.

This is totally like a scholar meeting a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly!

I don’t know what it means to have an outsider who knows nothing to manage these things.

He Yuzhu finished his noodles, put down his empty bowl, and suddenly said seriously:

"Dad, you have to be careful."
