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

She carefully recalled every detail of her time with He Yuzhu over the past few days and did not find any problems.

"Could it be... that he heard those rumors in the factory and got jealous?"

After the brother and sister finished their meal, He Yuzhu went to the backyard with the fish and fish soup that had been served in advance. The deaf old lady had already finished her meal and was sitting on the kang.

"Silly Zhu, why did you come to see me, you little brat?"

The deaf old lady was very happy to see He Yuzhu coming.

"Grandma, I bought a fish today, and Yu Shui and I can't finish it, so I'll bring some over to you."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he placed the two bowls on the stove, sat next to the deaf old lady and talked to her.

When the deaf old lady heard He Yuzhu calling her grandma, her eyes reddened and she quickly lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

"What's the matter? My aunt said that you have changed your personality in the past two days?"

"Hey, you are worthy of being the ancestor of our courtyard. Nothing can be hidden from you."

He Yuzhu did not deny it. After all, the thing had been done, and there was no point in pretending to be stupid and denying it.

"What, have you come to your senses?"

"Hey, old lady, I have always regarded you as my own grandmother, and I will not hide it from you."

He Yuzhu sighed:

"It's been a year since Jia Dongxu died, and it's been a year since I helped the Jia family.

Originally, I thought that I could live like this, live with Widow Qin, and let her give birth to a child for me, and then I could live like this for the rest of my life.

Hey, who knew that Chunchun would treat me like a hammer.

For someone like Xu Damao, Qin Huairu followed him to the warehouse to make five large white flour buns. I saw it with my own eyes.

And me?

I, He Yuzhu, earned 18 yuan a month, 10 yuan of which went into Qin Huairu's pocket, and all the soup and water I brought back from the kitchen also went into her house.

But the result?

A whole family of ungrateful wolves, even if it rains for a month, not a drop of oil can be seen. "

He Yuzhu spoke softly, but the deaf old lady heard it clearly. The more she listened, the deeper the smile on her face became.

In the end, he couldn't help but nodded, picked up his cane and knocked on He Yuzhu's head:

"Okay, I hope you can figure it out.

Stay away from that vixen from now on, go find the street office and ask them to find you a wife and give you some children. We don’t want to be in the same pot with them.”

"Hey, old lady, you are my real grandmother, but you really care about me."

He Yuzhu smiled happily.

"Well, what are you going to do about the uncle? He is not Qin Huairu who came from the countryside."

The deaf old lady's direct question made He Yuzhu's smile freeze on his face.

He Yuzhu was silent.

He knew Yi Zhonghai's plan very well. Since he had no children, he just wanted him to take care of him and his aunt in their old age.

In fact, if Yi Zhonghai is sincere to me, it is not impossible for me to take care of him in his old age.

pity……

Yi Zhonghai just wanted him, a young man, to marry Qin Huairu, or to be Qin Huairu's accomplice for the rest of his life.

Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice before his death, so Yi Zhonghai gave him the right to take care of him in his old age.

After Jia Dongxu died, it was naturally inappropriate to let Qin Huairu, a widow, take care of him in his old age, so he chose himself who had no father.

The means used are nothing more than moral kidnapping, issuing good guy cards and the like, plus Qin Huairu sending some "warmth" from time to time.

Sha Zhu ended up taking care of three elderly men in the orphanage and helped Qin Huairu all his life. If Lou Xiaoe hadn't given him a son, he would have been childless.

"You idiot, are you confused?"

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu who remained silent and asked with a smile.

"Hey, old lady, are you here to make fun of your droopy grandson for all this time?"

He Yuzhu reacted immediately. As the old saying goes, "An old man in the family is like a treasure." The old lady must have had an idea in mind when she asked him this:

"Grandma, you are the ancestor of the courtyard, the pillar of stability, and also my dear grandmother. Can you give me some advice at the critical moment?"

"For the sake of your calling me grandma, I will give you this stick today."

While the deaf old lady was talking, she picked up the enamel mug and took a sip of water.

"Hey, this old lady is putting on airs."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh and mutter.

"As the old saying goes, if jade is not polished, it cannot be made into a useful object. The same is true in reverse. Yi Zhonghai has been accumulating power in the courtyard for a long time. It is impossible to kill him with one blow.

You have to be patient, peck slowly, carve carefully, and peel off the shiny outer layer bit by bit, so that you can see the rotten wood inside. "

It has to be said that people become better with age.

When He Yuzhu heard the deaf old lady say this, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

According to his idea, when the time is right, he will take Yu Shui to Baocheng to see the unreliable old father who ran away with the widow, and look for a breakthrough from him.

However, it now seems that he took it for granted. Considering Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard, he might end up making things worse.

After all, compared with an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill and a kind-hearted old man in the courtyard, his father who ran away with a widow was really unreliable.

The deaf old lady grinned when she saw that He Yuzhu had taken her words to heart.

The two talked for a while, and He Yuzhu boiled water for the old lady as usual, filled the coal stove, fetched her more water, washed her feet, and tidied up everything before going back.

The deaf old lady's husband, son, and daughter-in-law all died in the war, and she has lived alone for half of her life.

Now, seeing He Yuzhu treating him like his own grandson, his eyes couldn't help but tear up.

Seeing him open the door and prepare to go out, the deaf old lady hesitated for a moment, but she finally called out to him:

"Silly Zhu, take Yushui to Baocheng to see your father when you have time. All his smartness was passed on to Yushui, and you didn't get any."

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his guess was correct. There was another reason why his cheap father ran away with the White Widow:

"Don't worry about it, go to bed early."

"Hey, you bastard, now you know to stop me, an old lady, from worrying about you?"

The deaf old lady laughed and scolded, and He Yuzhu had already walked out of the door and returned to the house in the middle courtyard.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early and as soon as he went out, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes next to the faucet.

"Hey? Silly Zhu, why did you get up so early today?"

Qin Huairu was a little surprised. After all, as long as the kitchen opened for dinner on time, it was fine, so working hours were not that strict.

Under normal circumstances, He Yuzhu would wait until everyone in the hospital had gone to work before he went out.

"Sister Qin, I'm doing the laundry."

He Yuzhu smiled and greeted everyone and was about to go out, but he saw Xu Damao in the backyard also coming out from the hanging flower gate, dressed in a respectable manner and walking outside happily.

He first greeted Qin Huairu, then spoke to He Yuzhu:

"Hey? Silly Zhu, you got up so early today, are you going on a blind date too?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Damao and said, "Why, I haven't spanked you for over a month, and your skin is itchy again. Do you want me to loosen your bones?"

"I, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

In the entire courtyard, Xu Damao was the one who had the deepest understanding of He Yuzhu's fighting ability. Based on the principle of "a good man never suffers a loss in front of him", he chose to run away.

He Yuzhu left the courtyard and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some melon seeds, peanuts, and White Rabbit milk candies. He filled half a cloth bag with them and went to the street office.

When the security guard Uncle Li saw He Yuzhu coming, he just smoked his pipe and ignored him.

He Yuzhu walked into the guard room with a familiar manner, took out a box of Daqianmen from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Uncle Li:

"Uncle Li, is Director Wang here?"

Uncle Li took He Yuzhu's cigarette, glanced at it, and put it behind his ear, then asked casually:

"What do you want to see Director Wang for?"

In the years after He Daqing left, no one cared about He Yuzhu. He often fought with a group of children in the alleys, and it was common for him to be criticized and educated by the street office and the police station.

"Didn't I become the kitchen foreman last week? I came here to let you and Director Wang know."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds, peanuts and White Rabbit milk candies from his cloth bag and put them on the table for Uncle Li.

"Go ahead. Director Wang is here early. He should be fine now."

Uncle Li nodded, picked up a White Rabbit candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and muttered quietly:

"The little bastard has finally come to his senses!"

Director Wang of the Street Office is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She has the most common Hu Lan haircut of this era and two dimples on her face when she smiles.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, why are you here today?"

Director Wang was a little surprised to see He Yuzhu. He had been working in the neighborhood office for so many years, but this was the first time he saw this brat come to see him.

"Hahaha, Director Wang, if there's nothing wrong, shouldn't I come to see you?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile. In the original owner's memory, every time the police station wanted to send him to the juvenile detention center because of a fight, it was Director Wang who stopped them.

In this age of "workers have power and labor is the most glorious," you have to check your file when looking for a job. Once you enter a juvenile detention center, it will be basically impossible to find a decent job when you grow up.

"Last week, our kitchen chef Huang retired, and the factory asked me to take over as canteen foreman. I came here to tell you something."

"Oh, that's a good thing!"

Director Wang showed a happy expression as he looked at the tall and strong He Yuzhu, with a hint of "my son has grown up".

"Where's your sister Yu Shui? She should be in high school now, right?"

While Director Wang was talking, he poured a glass of water for He Yuzhu and they both sat down on the sofa.

"She's a sophomore this year. Next time I come back from school, I'll bring her over for you."

"Okay, okay, you have finally grown up. You should work hard in the steel mill, take good care of Yu Shui, marry a wife, have some children, and live a good life."

Director Wang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the blink of an eye, the young boy has grown up.

"Hahaha, Director Wang, I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative when I came here, and bought some melon seeds, peanuts, and White Rabbit milk candies. I'll bring them over for you to try."

Faced with this blatant urging for marriage, He Yuzhu laughed and put the cloth bag in his hand on the table:

"Director Wang, I have caused you a lot of trouble since my father passed away. Logically speaking, I cannot afford to give you such a small amount of things.

If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know. I, He Yuzhu, will be there for you at any time and will never refuse."

He Yuzhu knew that Director Wang's husband held a high position and had everything he needed. He came here today simply to find an excuse to build relationships.

"You are a thoughtful child. I will accept the gift. From now on, just call me Aunt Wang."

Director Wang is also a straightforward person. She naturally knows why He Yuzhu came, but she is very happy in her heart.

The fact that he can use connections at least shows that this kid is not stupid.

"Hey, then I will call you Aunt Wang from now on. You also know that my brother and I are not related. You will be our real aunt from now on."

He Yuzhu hit the snake with a stick, and Aunt Wang became his real aunt.

"That's fine, since we are family, I won't be polite to you.

It just so happens that our old man has a poor appetite these days, so you can come over to our house on Sunday and cook two delicious dishes for him."

Although Director Wang didn't know how good He Yuzhu's cooking skills were, he knew that he had some skills to become the chef of the cafeteria.

"Hehe, since Aunt Wang is praising me, I will definitely go. I just don't know if the old man has any dietary restrictions?"

He Yuzhu was delighted. He was very confident in his cooking skills. As long as he had a chance to show off his skills, he would not be afraid of failing to satisfy these people's appetites.

Director Wang thought about it carefully, and then said, "There is no dietary restriction, but the old man is old and his teeth are not good."
