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

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Weiguo's face changed immediately. If this small canteen was given full responsibility to He Yuzhu, it would be equivalent to his power being divided by more than half!

You know, although there are only four tables in the small canteen, the people eating there are all the leaders of the factory.

"No, no, no, Chief Hu, that won't work. I'm just a cook. I can cook some dishes, but I can't do anything else."

He Yuzhu hurriedly declined. He wanted to strengthen his weight in the leader's heart, but this would take time.

You can't become fat in one bite.

Although Deputy Director Li is in charge of logistics, the head of the logistics department is Director Yang's direct subordinate. It is enough for him to get the right to draw up the menu for the canteen today.

If there are more, Section Chief Hu will be the first one who cannot accept it.

Even though he agreed readily now, if he was really foolish enough to accept everything, he would be charged with embezzling public property within a month and would be expelled from the steel mill.

This is just right now. I'll decide what vegetables to buy, and you can decide where and how to buy them.

In this way, only Wang Weiguo lost the power to "decide what the leader eats."

However, it can make all the leaders in the factory happy, and Section Chief Hu can naturally figure this out.

In addition, he himself is also a beneficiary, so Section Chief Hu is very optimistic about this matter.

Of course, the prerequisite is that He Yuzhu has to know what's appropriate.

It is now obvious that He Yuzhu is very tactful.

"Hahaha, that's right, Master He, just focus on cooking, I will let Weiguo provide you with logistical support.

Starting from this month, your monthly allowance will be adjusted to seven yuan. What do you think? "

Section Chief Hu was well aware of the principle of "balance". As soon as He Yuzhu agreed to just cook, he increased the subsidy.

"Hehehe, thank you very much, Chief Hu."

He Yuzhu smiled, said thank you, left the menu, and went out.

However, after he left the office and slowed down his pace, he heard Chief Hu's angry roar from inside:

"Wang Weiguo, do you still want to be the canteen director?"

After get off work, He Yuzhu strolled to the gate of the courtyard and happened to meet the third uncle who was coming back from get off work.

"Zhuzi, are you off work?"

"Uncle, you're here so early today?"

He Yuzhu also greeted with a smile.

"I don't have classes this afternoon, so why don't you just stop cooking tonight and come to my house to have a bite."

Uncle Third, this is not just a courtesy, but a real invitation.

Ever since that dinner, he felt that the first half of his life had been lived in vain. He decided that He Yuzhu was a capable man and he wanted to talk to him more often.

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked down at his hands: I didn’t bring a lunch box today?

With Third Uncle's stingy personality, how could he be willing to treat me to a meal?

"Hey, it's nothing special, just a daily routine, let's chat."

The third uncle seemed to see what He Yuzhu was thinking and explained with a smile.

"Uncle, it's really unfortunate today. My two brothers are coming. We'll have a chance later. After they finish eating, we can continue."

When the third uncle heard that he could save a meal, his face lit up again.

Not long after He Yuzhu entered the house, Liang Youan and Xu Gang came again, saying that they had been to Heilongjiang Province a few days ago and brought him some good things.

But in fact, I just came here to eat for free!

"Although Fang Zisen, that thief, didn't come, his father's share cannot be missing later."

Liang Youan said this deliberately.

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't ask any more questions and started to clean the stove quickly.

Liang Youan and Xu Gang were busy packing up the ingredients they brought, which were just some meat and vegetables.

The three grown men were cooking and chatting at the same time, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the house from time to time.

After eating and drinking, the three of them half-leaned on their bedding rolls and rested on the kang. They were really a little full from the meal and felt more comfortable lying down.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, be careful and don't flick the ashes onto my bed sheets."

While He Yuzhu was talking, he picked up an ashtray and placed it between the two of them.

"Hey, do you need me to introduce you to a girl? Life would be hard without a woman at home."

Liang Youan smiled strangely and kept winking at He Yuzhu.

"No, thank you. Please get off the bed, go out, turn left, and get out of here as far as your thoughts allow!"

He Yuzhu said this seriously.

Xu Gang and Liang Youan burst into laughter.

"But seriously, Zhuzi, you are not a child anymore, you should really think about this matter."

Xu Gang put away the smile on his face, and his tone of voice became more steady.

"Hey, there's no rush. Xiao Anzi, you work in the car team and go out a lot. Do you know anyone in Baocheng?"

He Yuzhu also put away his smile and asked seriously.

"Ange, call me Ange."

Liang Youan first seriously corrected He Yuzhu's address, "What the hell is that Xiao Anzi?"

"Okay, I understand. From now on I will call you Brother An, Xiao Anzi."

He Yuzhu admitted his mistake seriously, which made Xu Gang couldn't help laughing again.

Liang Youan looked helpless, and without dwelling on this, he asked directly:

"Who do you want to inquire about?"

"My unreliable father, He Daqing, was said to have run away with a widow named Bai."

He Yuzhu knew that with Liang Youan's ability, he would be able to find out the real reason why his father fled to Baocheng with the White Widow.

But, he doesn't care.

In fact, he was telling Liang Youan in a disguised way that this person was my father and that was all that happened to him.

What if one day... you should have some idea in your mind and help me out.

"Okay, let's go out for dinner on Sunday instead of staying home all the time. Then we can call those bastards out."

Liang Youan nodded in agreement, and the three of them chatted for a while. Before leaving, He Yuzhu prepared two midnight snacks for the two of them to take with them.

After he finished cleaning up, it was completely dark. He took out an enamel basin and washed himself, then went to the public toilet and went back to bed.

Jia family

The three children had fallen asleep, and Qin Huairu also crawled into her own bed and fell asleep.

Aunt Jia sat on the kang, her chubby white face showing a hint of cautious flattery and obvious fear.

"Um, Huairu, are you asleep?"

Qin Huairu gathered the quilt around her and said nothing.

To be exact, she hasn't spoken a word to her mother-in-law since Jia Zhang slapped her in the face while standing on the kang last time.

"Huai Ru, Mom knows you are still awake. What I did that day was wrong. I apologize to you."

Jia Zhangshi had a hard time these two days. Although Qin Huairu went to work, she never neglected the big and small things at home.

Now, no one cares about anything anymore.

She didn’t wash the three children’s clothes, did not do the mending, did not clean the house, and did not cook.

Even if the child cried because of hunger, she would just coax him with kind words and say that grandma didn't cook today.

Jia Zhangshi didn't really care about the two girls, but her precious grandson Banggeng was the only child in the Jia family.

No one can be hungry, but he can be hungry!

As soon as she started doing the miscellaneous housework, Jia Zhang felt pain all over her body.

I can’t sleep well at night and I feel tired during the day. It’s simply not a life for a human being.

Qin Huairu listened to Jia Zhangshi apologizing to her. Although she didn't say anything, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Ever since she married into the Jia family, her mother-in-law has made things difficult for her countless times, both openly and covertly.

When Dongxu was alive, she would sometimes say a few nice words to herself. But after Dongxu died, no one cared about her anymore.

"Huai Ru, I was also a widow, and I know how difficult this road is."

Seeing Qin Huairu's shoulders shaking under the quilt, Jia Zhang knew she was crying and could not help but sigh:

"But, this is fate!

The three children are still young. If you take one more step forward and leave me, an old woman, with three children, how do you expect us to survive?

I, I can’t help it!”

When Jia Zhang said this, she couldn't hold back her tears. She was scared from the bottom of her heart that Qin Huairu would drive her back to her hometown in the countryside.

What was even more frightening was that Banggeng, the only child in the Jia family, had lost his father and then his mother.

When Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law say this, she stopped crying and sat up from the quilt, wiping her tears while asking:

"Mom, when did I say I wanted to remarry?

Even if I want to take a step forward, I will definitely find someone to come and help our Jia family!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was stunned.

She thought...she thought Qin Huairu was going to abandon her and her three children and get married...

"You, you don't have this idea?"

Jia Zhang was a little bit unconvinced.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? I've made so many plans, aren't they all for Banggeng's future schooling and marriage?"

Qin Huairu was also confused. She didn't know that this was how her mother-in-law thought of her.

"You, if you promise not to abandon us and remarry, then I will not care about you in the future."

Jia Zhang immediately relaxed:

"Shazhu is indeed a good candidate. He is now the canteen supervisor, earning 45 yuan a month. He also has an old man to help him, so he should be able to succeed!"

"mom……"

Speaking of He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu's mood suddenly became a little depressed:

"Mom, Shazhu doesn't seem to be stupid anymore. I feel like I..."

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm here to help you take him down!"

Aunt Jia made a solemn promise.

He Yuzhu doesn't know yet that someone is thinking about him, and he is sleeping soundly at this moment.

Saturday came in a blink of an eye. There was no overtime work at night, so after get off work He Yuzhu followed Deputy Director Li to Quanjude to meet Zu Wenhua, the owner of Tongrentang.

In the past two days, although Zu Wenhua did not go to block Deputy Director Li's house, he would appear in front of him from time to time to remind him not to forget about the "miracle doctor".

Originally, He Yuzhu didn't want to come because his sister Yushui went home this afternoon, but he couldn't resist Deputy Director Li's nagging.

Zu Wenhua specially booked a private room. When Deputy Director Li and He Yuzhu arrived, quite a few people were already sitting in the room.

Among them, most are old men with gray hair.

They all heard Zu Wenhua talk about He Yuzhu and had seen the two tonic prescriptions, so they came here to see him.

After a brief introduction between the two parties, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

If it were in the past, with so many famous doctors sitting opposite him, Deputy Director Li would definitely try his best to curry favor with one or two of them.
