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

The old man put the wine on the table. Qin Huairu was about to get the wine cup from the chest of drawers, but He Yuzhu stopped her with a smile:

"Sister Qin, you and the uncle are both guests, just sit down."

While he was talking, he took out three 200-ounce wine cups from the chest of drawers and placed them on the table on the kang. Qin Huairu quickly poured them each a glass of wine, and then poured herself one last time.

"Zhu Zi, we are from the same courtyard, and I have watched you grow up. I won't beat around the bush if there is anything you have to say."

The old man took a sip of wine and spoke first. In fact, from the word "guest" just now, he felt that this trip might be in vain.

But now that I'm here, I have to say a few words, right?

"Uncle, you are right. We are all from the same courtyard. Just say whatever you want to say."

He Yuzhu also took a sip of wine and refilled the old man's glass.

"I won't ask about any unhappiness between you and Huairu in the past. Let's drink this glass of wine and start over. What do you think?"

To say that the old man is a smart man, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with this statement.

It sounded like Qin Huairu had said everything she needed to say, while it sounded like He Yuzhu had said nothing.

"Hey, you are the boss of the courtyard. You are always frank in your words and deeds."

He Yuzhu smiled and raised the wine cup in his hand, and Qin Huairu quickly raised hers as well. The three of them drank the two-liang wine cup in one gulp.

This feeling is deeper than the sea.

The old man was happy to see that He Yuzhu did not embarrass him in front of Qin Huairu, and he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Qin Huairu also toasted frequently, and the look she gave He Yuzhu was almost tearful.

He Yuzhu really doubted that if the old man hadn't been around, this woman would have forced herself on him.

Presumably, my salary, which suddenly increased to 45, played a big role in this.

The three people each had their own thoughts, but the guests were all having a great time and did not leave until dark.

Finally, Qin Huairu wanted to help clean up the kang table, but was rejected by He Yuzhu.

He knew Widow Qin too well. If she made up the table for him today, she might make up the bed for him tomorrow.

In fact, with He Yuzhu's current ability and salary, it would not be a big deal even if he asked Qin Huairu to make his bed.

There are many men in the city who can follow him, and there are many who have three wives and four concubines.

But this woman wanted too much.

In the original plot, she not only plotted to take Sha Zhu's salary and his house, but also refused to give birth to a child for Sha Zhu, almost leaving him without an offspring.

In a blink of an eye, three or four days passed.

Early in the morning, Uncle Yan Bugui was pushing his bicycle to go fishing. As soon as he opened the door, he found a car parked at the gate of the yard.

Standing next to the car door was a young man in his early twenties with a shaved head and a thumb-long scar on the right side of his cheek. He looked a little scary.

As soon as the gate of the compound opened, the young man immediately looked up and saw that the third uncle was looking at him with a confused look on his face. He immediately took two quick steps and took out a Yunnan cigarette and handed it to him:

"Hello, sir. I'm Xiao Liang, a driver for the city government's small car team. Here's my ID."

While talking, Xiao Liang handed his ID to the uncle and asked:

"Does Comrade He Yuzhu from the steel mill live in this yard?"

The third uncle took the cigarette first, took a closer look, and his small fish eyes lit up immediately. Then he looked at the ID that Xiao Liang handed over, and his eyelids twitched violently:

"Hey, I live here."

"It's like this, my boss sent me to pick up Master He to cook a meal for him. Please go in and call him."

The driver Xiao Liang said very politely.

"That's fine. Master He lives in the middle courtyard. Wait a minute and I'll call him for you."

The third uncle immediately nodded in agreement, and without caring about the bicycle in his hand, he hurried towards the central courtyard.

"He...Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, are you awake yet? There's a car outside the door. They said the leader sent it to pick you up to cook at his house."

Oh, what a guy!

The third uncle's shout caused the entire courtyard to go haywire.

Today is Sunday, and all the men in the courtyard, young and old, are staying at home. The third uncle's shout directly made everyone go out.

Only high-ranking officials are qualified to ride in a car.

For people like them, it would be enough to brag about it for days if they saw one on the street.

Who is Shazhu cooking for that they even sent a car to pick him up?

He Yuzhu had already packed his things and was waiting at home. When he heard the third uncle's shout, he immediately went out.

Yu Shui also came out from the next room: "Brother, when can you come back?"

"It should be ready for lunch. It won't take long. You can prepare one at home first and come back in the afternoon to eat together."

He Yuzhu smiled and waved to his sister, then followed the third uncle out the door.

At the gate of the yard, there were already many children circling around the car, and adults were also standing at the gate watching curiously.

In this era when a 13-inch truck can hold people, the appearance of a small car is like a bolt from the blue.

Not to mention this courtyard, even the several courtyards nearby could be bombed for ten days or half a month.

Last year, the third uncle Yan Bugui bought a 28-bar bicycle, which attracted many men and women from several courtyards to come and watch.

If someone else wants to use it once, they have to pay 20 cents.

Now, He Yuzhu got into a car that only senior leaders were qualified to ride in, and everyone in the yard had tears in their eyes.

Especially the second uncle who wanted to be an official the most, when he saw He Yuzhu got into the car and the driver drove away with his foot on the accelerator, he suddenly felt that the jasmine in his hand was boring.

"Hey, I've lived in the same courtyard for so many years, but I never knew that Sha Zhu was so capable."

Liu Guangfu said with envy on his face.

The second oldest Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangdang also nodded involuntarily: "Who said it wasn't? It seems we can't call him Shazhu anymore."

"Hmph, you two who couldn't follow, go home and stop embarrassing yourself here.

It's just a small car, what's the big deal? It's not his fault."

The second uncle had a sullen face, cursed a few words, then turned around and walked home.

The third uncle was no longer in a hurry to fish. A group of people in the yard surrounded him and asked who the car belonged to.

The third uncle finally had a chance to show off his face in the courtyard.

He Yuzhu got into the car and ordered a Daqianmen cigarette for Xiao Liang first.

Xiao Liang has a scar on his face, and his smile looks a little scary.

Others might not be able to notice it, but He Yuzhu could feel a strong murderous aura from this guy.

This Xiao Liang has killed people, and definitely more than one.

He is so young and has such a fierce aura, yet he has such a good job as a car driver. In all likelihood, he has performed great deeds.

"Master Liang is young and promising. Nowadays, being a car driver requires great ability."

He Yuzhu took a puff of cigarette and started chatting with Xiao Liang.

"Hahaha, you're so kind, isn't this just a great opportunity?

This morning when I heard Director Wang say that you were coming here to pick someone up, I thought you were at least an old comrade in your forties.

I never thought that Master He, who Director Wang praised so much, was actually so young! "

While Xiao Liang was talking, he smiled and glanced at He Yuzhu:

"Master He, you are the real young and promising one!"

"My name is He Yuzhu, a cook at the steel mill. Everyone calls me Shazhu or Zhuzi. You can call me Master He, too. It gives me goose bumps all over my body."

While He Yuzhu was talking, he also grinned and shook off the goose bumps on his body.

"Hahaha, my name is Liang Youan, you can just call me Anzi."

Xiao Liang couldn't help laughing. Sometimes people are just so compatible with each other that just one sentence can bring them closer.

Next, the two of them chatted with each other and soon arrived at the place.

Director Wang lives in a government compound, and the security guards at the gate are real weapons. They checked the two people's IDs before letting them in.

Liang Youan parked the car and took He Yuzhu to a two-story building. Wang Aiying was already waiting at the door.

"Zhu Zi, An Zi, come on, come in and have a drink of water first."

As soon as He Yuzhu heard Director Wang's address to Liang Youan, he knew that Liang Youan's identity was probably not simple.

When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged man in his fifties sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper, and two young men in their twenties sitting opposite him.

Judging from their appearance, they should be Director Wang’s two sons.

"Old Xu, this is the Comrade He Yuzhu I told you about."

Wang Aiying smiled and asked He Yuzhu to sit down and drink some water:

"Zhuzi, this is my husband, Old Xu, and these are the two boys, Xu Tie and Xu Gang. They are only a few years older than you. Come and play with us when you have time."

"Hello, Leader Xu, Brother Gang, Brother Tie, and everyone else."

He Yuzhu quickly greeted him and Xu's father nodded at him.

"Hahaha, Brother Gang, Brother Tie, why do they sound like Gangdan and Tiedan to me?"

Before Xu Gang and Xu Tie could say anything, Liang Youan on the side burst into laughter.

"Get lost, what's the big deal, I'm calling you brother, brother, do you understand?"

Xu Gang was unhappy at first and cursed at Liang Youan with a smile.

Xu Tie seemed much calmer, and smiled at He Yuzhu, "Comrade He Yuzhu, hello, I'm sorry to bother you today."

He Yuzhu was most afraid of dealing with such "meticulous" people. After saying "You're welcome" with a smile, he turned to look at Wang Aiying:

"Auntie Wang, can you take me to see your old man?"

He Yuzhu's words made Director Wang frown, and Xu's father, who was reading a newspaper, also looked over here.

“Auntie Wang, I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to see how the old man is doing now and make something that suits his appetite.

I'll just stand outside and see how the old man looks."

He Yuzhu quickly explained.

There was no other way. He had to concentrate and look at the other person so that the space could analyze the most suitable medicinal food.

"That's fine, the old man is upstairs, I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

As Wang Aiying spoke, she took He Yuzhu upstairs.

The old man was basking in the sun on the balcony at the moment. Wang Aiying led people in and said hello. Then He Yuzhu went into the kitchen.

These government agencies all have canteens. Director Wang and his family all eat in the canteen and rarely cook at home.

However, the kitchen is fully equipped.

Director Wang's family are all from Sichuan Province. He Yuzhu made a boiled fish dish that had not been available in this era.

I also made Dongpo pork elbow, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, and Kung Pao chicken, a total of five hot dishes, and added three cold dishes: garlic pork, sweet and sour cabbage shreds, and Sichuan jelly.

These are all simple, the most difficult ones are the old man’s dishes.

The space provides a dish of "Shouwu and Ganoderma Lucidum Noodles". Shouwu can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, Ganoderma Lucidum can replenish Qi, and it is supplemented with various wild delicacies and seasonal vegetables. It is very suitable for the old man's current physical condition.

However, the Polygonum multiflorum provided by the space needs to be five years old, and the Ganoderma lucidum needs to be three years old, and the kitchen does not have these two things.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Liang Youan poked his head into the kitchen:

"Zhu Zi, how are the preparations going?"

While speaking, he sniffed, looked at the dishes on the stove, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and secretly picked up a piece of tofu to eat.

"There's only one bowl of noodles left for the old man. Do you have anything good? I'll add some ingredients to the old man's bowl."
