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

Lin Zhian took the cigarette, said nothing, and left with the other three.

He Yuzhu untied the sack, and the man inside immediately sat up from the sack, opened his mouth and was about to speak.

But the moment he saw He Yuzhu's face clearly, his face turned pale with fright.

"He, He Yuzhu?"

The person in the sack was Qu Zhongjie.

It turned out that the night before, after He Yuzhu came out of Qu Zhongjie's house, he reminded the patrol team to be careful.

There is no other reason, just that he is afraid that Qu Zhongjie doesn't want that respect and will run away secretly.

According to He Yuzhu's guess, a big shot like Qu Zhongjie would not do something like running away secretly.

Having the patrol team keep an eye on it is just a precaution!

Who would have thought that Qu Zhongjie was actually planning to run away!

He Yuzhu looked at Qu Zhongjie and asked with a smile:

"Isn't that surprising?"

Qu Zhongjie's face looked ugly, and the flesh on his cheeks twitched fiercely twice. He said in a timid tone:

"I just don't believe that you would dare to commit a crime in broad daylight?"

The smile on He Yuzhu's face became even brighter:

"I'm standing under the emperor in broad daylight, so of course I don't dare.

But you can't leave Sijiucheng either!"

After saying that, he raised his hand, patted Qu Zhongjie's shoulder heavily, then stood up and left.

Qu Zhongjie stared at He Yuzhu's back, not understanding what he was doing.

However, it took him a long time to come to his senses. Since no one attacked him, it meant that he still had a chance.

Thinking of this, Qu Zhongjie quickly stood up from the ground, kicked the sack away, looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he walked out of the alley and went home.

When He Yuzhu returned to the steel rolling mill, it was already past lunchtime, but Ma Hua still left some food for him.

While eating in Ma Hua’s office, Ma Hua asked some questions about the problems he encountered when cooking.

He Yuzhu did not hide his knowledge and simply gave him some instructions. After dinner, he returned to the Logistics Department.

Ever since the incident between Wan Chunfang and Zhao Chunfeng, the entire logistics department has been peaceful.

However, Yu Siyuan and other two, who had always been marginalized figures, are now being given important positions.

He Yuzhu put them in charge of three purchasing channels: daily necessities, textile factories, and farms.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming in, Yu Siyuan immediately followed him into the office and said that it would be the Little New Year in about a month.

The higher-ups hope that our logistics department can purchase a batch of supplies and provide some benefits to the workers.

He Yuzhu nodded. In the past, the factory’s welfare only included hairtail and kelp, nothing else.

Hairtail has many bones and is fishy. To ordinary people, it is just a chicken rib, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

After all, conditions are limited now, and we can’t afford to fry food like in later generations.

"Well, I'll find someone when I have time to see if I can get something good."

After spending an afternoon in the office, I saw that it was almost time, so I went out and rode my bike to the street office to pick up my wife.

My daughter-in-law is doing well at the street office. The new director He thinks highly of her and is planning to promote her to the position of deputy section chief.

However, Lou Xiao'e refused without any hesitation.

There is no other reason. This Section Chief He is indeed quite capable at work. However, there is just one thing:

Lustful.

Of course, he had other intentions in promoting Lou Xiao'e to deputy section chief, but unfortunately Lou Xiao'e didn't buy it.

Since people didn't buy his tricks, Director He had no other choice.

After all, when the previous director Wang left, he made Lou Xiao'e, a temporary worker in the street office, a regular employee.

He can't do anything about the other person since he has no aspirations and is not motivated.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the street office, he happened to meet his wife coming out of the yard.

"Brother Zhuzi, you're here?"

When Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu coming, she was very happy and walked towards him with a smile.

He Yuzhu nodded, and when his wife sat down in the back seat and was ready to leave, he saw the new Director He coming out.

"Xiao'e, are you going back?"

He asked with a smile, then looked up at He Yuzhu and smiled.

He Yuzhu had heard from his wife about Director He a long time ago, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.

He nodded at Director He with a forced smile, pushed his foot, and the bicycle went out in a whoosh.

On the way, He Yuzhu asked while pedaling his bicycle:

"Wife, has this He guy been giving you any trouble recently?"

Lou Xiaoe shook her head:

"No, he has been just like everyone else during this time, just saying hello when we meet."

"Well, that's good."

He Yuzhu nodded, pedaled hard and returned home quickly.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they got off their bicycles and pushed them into the front yard.

I saw that there were quite a few people sitting in the third uncle's house, and the third aunt and the first aunt were busy around the stove.

Jiefang and Wang Sanmei were standing at the door, talking about something. Wang Sanmei was blushing violently.

Seeing He Yuzhu and his wife coming in, Jiefang hurriedly greeted them:

"Brother Zhuzi, sister-in-law."

"Hey, is this ready?"

He Yuzhu nodded in response, while Lou Xiao'e turned her gaze to Wang Sanmei.

Jiefang nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Well, my dad asked an old man to be a matchmaker, and invited her parents over today to finalize the matter."

"Hey, this is a good thing, congratulations!"

He Yuzhu looked at Jiefang and was truly happy for him.

"Hey, thank you, Brother Zhuzi."

Jiefang said somewhat embarrassedly.

When He Yuzhu and his wife returned home, Lou's mother had already prepared dinner, and the deaf old lady was in the bedroom looking after little Jiji.

After taking medicine for two days, Xiao Jiji looks much better. At least the black spots on his face are gone, and the dark circles on his lips have also faded a lot.

He Yuzhu washed his hands, went to check on his son, and took him to the living room to play.

Little Jiji was in a bad mood. As soon as he saw Lou Xiao'e, he stretched out his hand and called for his mother.

Lou Xiao'e quickly washed her hands and went to hug her son. Seeing her son so listless, she felt very distressed.

After dinner, He Yuzhu went next door to check on Banggeng. Banggeng seemed to be much better, at least he could get off the kang by himself.

He Yuzhu asked Jia Zhangshi again, and found out that Banggeng was eating, sleeping, and was much more energetic than before.

He Yuzhu prescribed some medicine, gave some instructions, and went to the backyard to see Xiang Rong.

Xiang Rong's condition looked more serious than Xiao Jiji's, but after taking medicine for two days, he seemed to be getting better.

Guangtian also came back from get off work at this time. When he saw He Yuzhu coming, he immediately asked him to sit down.

He Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that he shouldn't be polite. He went to see Xiang Rong first, and when he saw that there was no problem, he gave some instructions to Second Aunt and Qiu Haifeng, and then went home.

After leaving the yard, I looked towards the second uncle's room and saw the second uncle sitting alone on the kang.

There was a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts on the kang table, and the second uncle was drinking from a wine cup.

However, you can tell from his expression that he is not in a good mood.

Seeing He Yuzhu looking at him, he glared at He Yuzhu angrily. He Yuzhu grinned, didn't bother with him, and went home.

My wife has taken leave from night school these days, so she is not in a hurry to go out.

He Yuzhu sat on a chair and played with his wife and son for a while. Seeing that his son was very sleepy with drooping eyelids, he asked his wife to hold him to sleep.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle out of the house, strolled along the street, met the patrol team, gave everyone cigarettes, and prepared to go back.

Not long after riding my bike, I saw an acquaintance on the street.

Strictly speaking, the two met only once, but He Yuzhu remembered him.

Li Hong.

According to the cousin Meng Xinglang, Li Hong is engaged in education work in prison.

Li Hong was not alone, he was with a woman.

He Yuzhu felt that the woman looked familiar. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was Wu Xiuwan who had disappeared for a long time?

Yes, it was Wu Xiuwan, the niece of Deputy Chief Wu of the police station and Liang Xiaobing’s ex-girlfriend.

This woman looks no different from before, still young and beautiful.

Wu Xiuwan was holding Li Hong's arm, smiling like a flower, but no one knew what she was saying.

Li Hong pinched her cheek affectionately, with a hint of a smile on his face.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but shook his head: It was obvious that these two people were going to explore the true meaning of life.

But, Li Hong’s medicine was taken in vain!

He shook his head and rode his bike home.

When I got back, the yard was quiet and the lights were off.

He Yuzhu simply washed up and before he entered the bedroom, the sounds of "hmm" and "ah" in the yard reached his ears.

When I entered the bedroom and got on the kang, little Jiji was already asleep.

He Yuzhu saw his wife sitting against the quilt, her eyes red, obviously she had just cried.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

He Yuzhu got on the kang and held his wife in his arms.

"It's okay, I'm just looking after little Gigi..."

When Lou Xiao'e said this, she couldn't help but hugged He Yuzhu and started crying again.

Such a small child had to drink the bitter medicine twice a day. When he felt uncomfortable, his mouth was open and tears flowed, but no sound could be made.

She is really heartbroken!

He Yuzhu sighed heavily and hugged his wife tighter, feeling more and more guilty in his heart.

"Brother Zhuzi, tell me, why did Hua Qingqing want to harm Xiao Jiji?"

Lou Xiao'e has been thinking about this matter these two days.

She started thinking from the time Zhang Wen's family moved into the courtyard house, and until her child suffered this misfortune, she believed that she had never offended them.

She couldn't understand why they would attack a child.

He Yuzhu sighed heavily. He knew that if he revealed Qu Zhongjie, the man behind the scenes, his wife would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"They are in league with those bastards with bow legs. I was involved in An Xiushan's arrest last time."

He Yuzhu said something half-truthfully.

"what?"
