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

From now on, whenever there is something delicious in this house, it will be given to you first. I wish you a long life.

From now on, the future of these three children will be up to you. You have to wait until your grandson is born before you can meet my father and Dongxu!"

After saying this in one breath, Qin Huairu took a towel and wet it under the faucet in the yard to apply it on her face. She had to go to work the next day and she couldn't have a swollen face.

"This, this... I, I..."

Jia Zhang was confused.

It was so difficult for her to raise Dongxu back then. If it weren't for the help of the old man, she would have returned to her hometown in the countryside by now.

She is already this old, isn't it time for her to enjoy her life?

What’s going on? Do you suddenly have to take care of three kids again?

The next day at work, the cafeteria was still the same. He Yuzhu took a look at the dishes delivered by the logistics department today, picked out a few that could be used, and selected two vegetarian dishes from the "Shaowei Food List" to change the taste of the canteen.

The tastes of all the leaders in the steel rolling mill have been spoiled by him, and they no longer enjoy the food when they go home for dinner at night.

Just as He Yuzhu was getting ready to leave work, Secretary Zhou came to the kitchen and said that Deputy Director Li would entertain guests in the canteen in the afternoon.

In the small cafeteria, Deputy Director Li was drinking and eating with guests. Outside, Director Zhou and He Yuzhu were chatting.

Ma Hua was busy at the stove. It must be said that although this guy had not been in the steel mill for long, he got the hang of it quickly.

There are many things that He Yuzhu can do very well without being taught.

Although I don’t have a strong talent for cooking, as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to eat this meal in the future.

At this moment, he was packing the meat and vegetables that he had served in advance into the lunch boxes on the stove, and then wiping away the soup that had overflowed from the outside of the lunch boxes and putting them into the net bag.

"Brother Zhou, it's already this late and you're still here working overtime with Deputy Director Li. It's not easy to be in the office!"

He Yuzhu listened to the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games inside, and chatted with Zhou Tianhai.

He didn't know what Deputy Director Li was thinking, but Zhou Tianhai in front of him really wanted to go home.

"Hey! Outsiders see our office as glamorous and bright, but they can't see the twists and turns, the hardships and hard work here!"

Secretary Zhou couldn't help but sigh. His wife was going to give birth in another month, and now was the time for him to go home and take care of her.

"Hey, it doesn't matter what you do. Remember to bring your lunch box with you when you go back later, otherwise your sister-in-law won't let you in... hehe..."

When He Yuzhu said this, Zhou Tianhai's smile became more sincere:

"Zhu Zi, you're right. If it weren't for your lunch box, I might not have been able to get in. With your cooking skills, I think you're as good as the chefs at Quanjude and Xianfenglou.

It would be great if you could make more for the canteen every day!"

Zhou Tianhai's words seemed to be idle talk, but actually he was giving He Yuzhu a hint: leaders like this, and it won't hurt if you are more diligent.

"Brother Zhou, you are really wronging me. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I really can't do it!"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he frowned and complained:

"You said that as chefs, our job is to serve the leaders and workers in the factory, right? But I..."

When Zhou Tianhai heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said in a puzzled tone:

"You can't do that? Even Director Yang praised your skills. Who dares to stop you from serving the workers in the steel mill?"

"Hey, Brother Zhou, just say a few words to me about this, but don't say anything outside.

Today, as your younger brother, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Brother Zhou, just listen to it, and I am just saying this.

Once we get out of this door, let's just pretend nothing happened."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, his brows furrowed like the peaks and ridges of a mountain: "You say, we come here to work just for a little money, right?

These are the only cooking skills I, He Yuzhu, have. I've been thinking about how to let the leaders eat something good every day.

But... eh!"

At this point, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh:

"I mentioned this idea to Director Wang, but he said he couldn't make the decision and had to report it to the leadership, and then the matter fell into oblivion!"

Zhou Tianhai rolled his eyes, then smiled and nodded to comfort him: "I understand, we all serve the leaders, it's all the same, it's all the same."

When he returned home in the evening, it was almost eight o'clock. When He Yuzhu entered the yard, he happened to meet the third uncle.

After experiencing He Yuzhu's "enlightenment" last night, the third uncle seemed a little different.

But He Yuzhu couldn't really tell what the difference was.

"The pillar is back."

The third uncle greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Third Uncle, what are you doing?"

Entering the middle courtyard, the uncles and aunts were sitting in the yard talking, and a few children were chasing each other and playing.

He Yuzhu greeted everyone one by one and went into the house. After a while, he came out with an enamel basin and a towel draped over his shoulders to wash up.

Qin Huairu didn't wash clothes today, which was a rare day. She was sitting at the door of the house holding Sophora japonica. She saw He Yuzhu taking off his shirt, revealing his muscular body. Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She still remembered the feeling of that hot body pressing against her last night, and the strong aggressive breath, and she seemed to be able to feel it now.

Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a fierce look, snorted coldly, and went into the house.

After He Yuzhu finished washing up, he went into the house and had nothing to do, so he took out the "Shaowei Food List" from the space and flipped through it casually.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

He Yuzhu got off the kang and opened the door. Seeing that it was an old man, he smiled and welcomed him into the house.

"Master, you are here."

"Well, Zhuzi, are you reading a book?"

The old man took a look at the book that He Yuzhu had placed on the kang and felt a little surprised, but he still smiled and nodded in praise:

"Yes, only by reading can we make progress."

"An old man drinks water."

He Yuzhu didn't know what Yi Zhonghai meant by suddenly coming to see him, so he didn't respond to him.

The old man took the water and sat down on the kang, thinking about how to explain his purpose.

Zhuzi seemed to suddenly come to his senses and changed a lot, and he was a little out of control.

If it weren't for the aunt who told him about He Yuzhu's filial piety towards the deaf old lady, he really wouldn't have wanted to come this time.

According to the old man's thinking, the deaf old lady in the backyard is a tool for him to gain a good reputation.

After He Yuzhu "woke up", he became more filial to the deaf old lady, which shows that he really wanted a good reputation of "respecting the elderly".

This is the biggest confidence that brings the old man here.

As long as He Yuzhu still wants a good reputation, he will find a way to continue to manipulate.

He Yuzhu also sat down beside the kang, quietly waiting for the old man to speak.

"Zhu Zi, what do you think about what happened last night?"

The old man suddenly said this out of nowhere, and He Yuzhu's heart beat violently:

Could it be that Qin Huairu told the uncle what happened last night?

No, Qin Huairu would not tell this matter to anyone. The uncle must be talking about the slap that happened last night.

"What happened last night?"

He Yuzhu was confused and decided to play dumb.

The old man glanced at He Yuzhu, not caring whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and said directly:

"Aunt Jia attacked Qin Huairu last night, and everyone in the courtyard heard it."

"Why did you come to me about this?"

He Yuzhu was really confused now, and thought: If Jia Zhangshi did something to Qin Huairu, go talk to Jia Zhangshi, why are you looking for me?

It wasn't me who hit Qin Huairu!

"Zhu Zi, Qin Huairu's family is in financial difficulty. This is a well-known fact in the courtyard. In the entire courtyard, you are the only one who is capable of helping the Jia family.

Can you help out a little in the future? At least bring a lunch box to their house after get off work so that the three children can fill their stomachs? "

The old man really didn't want to make this trip. It was because this morning, Aunt Jia blocked him at the old place and cried for a long time.

In addition, when Dongxu was leaving, I promised him that I would help take good care of his mother, his wife and three children.

"hehe"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the old man say this:

"Uncle, since you've come to my house today, let's talk it out.

I don’t care whether you want to take care of Aunt Jia or Qin Huairu, but one thing is certain: don’t pull me aside.

You are just thinking that you want me to help Qin Huairu, so that in the future, either I or Bang Geng will take care of you in your old age."

When He Yuzhu said this, the smile on the uncle's face suddenly faded. He didn't expect that He Yuzhu could express his plan so accurately.

"I have made it clear to you today, this is absolutely impossible!

Even if I, He Yuzhu, remain single for my entire life, I will never help Qin Huairu, and I will not support you in your old age.

Uncle, with your and aunt's current abilities, you are fully capable of adopting another child and taking care of you in your old age when the child grows up.

However, you are more calculating than the third uncle. It is not easy to raise a child. He might turn out to be an ungrateful person in the future. It is better to catch a ready-made one.

Jia Dongxu is dead, and I, He Yuzhu, have become a substitute? It's not that I haven't helped the Jia family, but you must know what Jia Zhang said about me.

Although I, He Yuzhu, am called "Silly Zhu" and I am a bit of a mixed-up person, I am not really stupid! "

"Zhu Zi, we are all from the same courtyard. You have the ability to help the Jia family and you can also have a good reputation. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

The old man felt that he seemed to have miscalculated. Didn’t He Yuzhu want to gain a good reputation in the courtyard?

"The best of both worlds?"

He Yuzhu sneered: "I'm afraid the only beautiful ones are Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and your uncle?

I'm 22 years old, a canteen supervisor at a steel mill, earning 45 yuan a month. I can find any wife I want, so why should I rush to help the Jia family?"

The old man was silent, not knowing what to say.

The most frightening thing in life is to suddenly become enlightened, and in everyone's eyes, He Yuzhu suddenly became enlightened.

"But, but Qin Huairu is a widow with three children, and she really can't make ends meet..."

The uncle wanted to struggle a little more, but was interrupted by He Yuzhu before he could finish his words:

"Uncle, please stop it and don't treat everyone in the yard as fools.

The third uncle in the front yard earns almost as much as Qin Huairu in a month. He has three half-grown sons and a daughter, and he can even arrange to find a wife for Yan Jiecheng.

What's the matter? The three children of Qin Huairu's family can eat more than the three half-grown boys of the third uncle's family?

When Dongxu died, the factory gave so much compensation, and now not a penny is left?

The entire hospital donated more than a hundred yuan to their family at that time, right?

Qin Huairu has so many lovers in the factory, and they eat out for free every few days. Do you think the neighbors around here can't see it?

Open your eyes and look around. There are so many children in this courtyard. Is there any child that can be as pretty as these three children in their family?

You really think we are all blind!"

"Zhu Zi, the child is still growing up, you can't be so stubborn. Qin Huairu is a widow, and she has such a mother-in-law..."

The old man frowned and could only repeat the same thing over and over again.

"Uncle, with so many children in the courtyard, are only the three children of Qin Huairu growing up?

What's wrong with her being a widow?

If you go out and walk around the alley, you will find that she is not the only widow and not the only evil mother-in-law.

Other people who live in the countryside can live a hard life without any harm, but she, who married into the countryside, can't bear any hardship at all?
