Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

When they came home from get off work, Zhang Cui, Zhao Qi, Zhang Huajun, and He Yuyu were chatting around the stove.

Quiet and warm.

When Zhang Huajun saw the two men coming back, he stood up and said, "Old Biao, Biao?"

Seeing that the person following Jiang Chen was not Luo Xue, he was immediately confused.

He clearly remembered that the girl who entered Jiang Chen's room to sleep with a family ring was not the one in front of him.

Jiang Chen said: "Oh shit, this is your cousin Liu Yue."

"Ah, hello, cousin." Zhang Huajun felt like his head was in a mess.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Hello, cousin!"

Zhao Qi stood up and said to Liu Yue: "Hello, my name is Zhao Qi."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Well, I know, my boss often mentions you in front of me on weekdays."

Jiang Chen said: "Hey, Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense. When did I keep mentioning her?"

Zhao Qi asked with great interest: "Oh? He mentioned me in front of you, his emotional intelligence is quite low."

"By the way, what did he say about me? Did he say that I was thick-skinned and stupid?"

Liu Yue took Zhao Qi's hand, brought her mouth to Zhao Qi's ear and began to whisper.

After listening, Zhao Qi glanced at Jiang Chen suspiciously: "I don't believe it, how can he still say good things about me?"

Liu Yue smiled and said: "The leader just doesn't like to express himself. In fact, he has a very soft heart."

"Even if you make a mistake and he is determined to punish you, it is actually for your own good."

After saying that, he lowered his head and said a few words in Zhao Qi's ear.

Zhao Qi's face turned red at that moment: "Bah, he is bullying people."

Jiang Chen couldn't stand it anymore: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

In fact, he really wanted to eavesdrop. With his current ability, he could hear the two women's whispers.

It's just that he believed Liu Yue wouldn't trick him, so he simply didn't care.

On the other hand, Liu Yue beside her shook her head slightly, sighing in her heart that Jiang Chen's luck in love was really good.

But think about it carefully, there is indeed a market for such a man who is handsome, young and promising, and treats others well.

At least ten thousand times stronger than a bastard like Lei Jie.

Zhang Cui also said: "Well, let's eat and eat!"

During the meal, Liu Yue did not sit next to Jiang Chen, but sat on a stool with Zhao Qi.

Then he kept picking up food for Zhao Qi, and the identity of the hostess was undoubtedly revealed.

Jiang Chen said: "Xiaoyue, in our hometown, only the elders pick up food for the younger generation. People will be unhappy if they pick up food among the peers."

Liu Yue was stunned. He had no idea there was such a custom.

Zhao Qi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I basically don't care about those strict rules."

Liu Yue raised her thumb: "Qiqi is still open-minded."

After dinner, Jiang Chen and Zhang Huajun got up and went outside to smoke.

Jiang Chen pointed to the attic: "My cigarettes are up there. If you don't have any, just go get them yourself."

He still trusts Zhang Huajun.

Zhang Huajun nodded: "I won't be polite to you."

Then he took out a wad of money from his pocket: "I can actually buy more bacon, but it was a bit laborious to get it, so I bought more than a hundred kilograms."

"Excluding travel expenses and other expenses, there are still more than 60 yuan left."

Jiang Chen didn't reach out to take it: "Just take it first. The man is outside, so he must have some money in his pocket. If there is anything missing, buy it yourself."

"When you come out, you have to spend money where it should be spent. The more you save money, the more you may have to spend in the future."

"I won't calculate your salary for you. If you have no money, you can call me, my mother or Liu Yue, and we will get it for you. If that doesn't work, you can call Luo Xue."

"Just come here for meals. Life will be better when we eat together."

He did not treat Zhang Huajun as an outsider. More importantly, if he paid him a salary, there would be an employment relationship between the two, which was very dangerous.

So I just stopped paying him wages and just paid him regularly.

When the bubble bursts and Super Rice steps onto the stage of history, Zhang Huajun will naturally gain something.

Zhang Huajun was not polite: "Okay, I'll leave it alone for now. I don't have much expenses on weekdays. The money will be enough for me to spend for a while."

"By the way, what's the situation between you and Luo Xue? I remember she is my cousin-in-law."

That night, it was he who showed Luo Xue the way.

Jiang Chen said: "Well, Luo Xue is your cousin-in-law!"

"Ah?!!!" Zhang Huajun opened his eyes wide with a look of shock: "Old cousin, you are a bit dangerous."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "I only told you this, just don't reveal it."

Zhang Huajun nodded: "Sure enough, people from the city are still good at playing. My cousin is so lucky!"

"What should we do about Zhao Qi? Sanniang tested her this afternoon, and it seemed that she meant that she would not go back once she came."

After coming back to his senses, the title was changed from old cousin to cousin.

Jiang Chen sighed: "I never thought that Zhao Qi would come out. I was not mentally prepared at all. I didn't know what to do."

Zhang Huajun said: "If you don't be bold, you already have two cousins ​​​​in any case, and one more is not much."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Zhao Qi is different from them. Let her go back after she plays for two days."

Zhao Qi and he were from the same village, and the two families met each other without looking up.

Not to mention being like Liu Yue Luoxue and the others, even if Zhao Qi doesn't get married in another year and a half, the village doesn't know what gossip will spread.

She is already 20, so she is considered an old girl.

Jiang Chen didn't care. Zhang Cui was out anyway. At most, he only went back occasionally during holidays.

But Zhao Qi's family still lives there.

Therefore, Jiang Chen's idea is that since he can't give her a status, he should cut off this bad relationship as soon as possible and drive Zhao Qi back after she has been in Sijiu City for a few days.

Zhang Huajun said: "With her temper, I guess she won't listen to you on this matter."

Jiang Chen said: "You have to listen even if you don't want to."

"By the way, I heard that the steel-making furnace in my hometown has been blocked. What's going on?"

Zhang Huajun said: "You don't know? I thought you arranged this?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I didn't arrange it, I just heard some rumors from the leaders of the Ministry of Industry."

Zhang Huajun said: "It was the people from the Ministry of Industry who went to seize it. They brought a lot of police and no one was allowed to get close. Later, it seems that a group of experts came. I heard they came from Sijiu City."

"Before I left, I saw that they were not only doing some research in the steel-making furnace, but there were also people walking up the ditch. I didn't know what they were going to do."

"Some people also took instruments and tested them in the mountains. People in the village were spreading rumors that there were ancient tombs on the mountains and they were digging for treasures."

When Zhang Huajun left, steelmaking had not yet started there.

Jiang Chen snorted: "What the hell"

Zhang Huajun said: "Everyone thinks you arranged it. Some people say you are overbearing and don't even let everyone use the water in the ditch."

Jiang Chen said: "They are a bit overbearing, but if they want to grab time, they can't do anything."

"Okay, you stay here for now, I have to go out and deliver the meat to people."

Zhang Huajun nodded: "Do you want my help?"

Jiang Chen said: "No need."

Jiang Chen came to the kitchen and said hello to Liu Yue: "Mom, Xiaoyue, I'll deliver the meat to Section Chief Wen and Uncle Lei's house. I'll be back later."

Zhang Cui nodded.

Liu Yue said: "Okay, ride slower on the road. The snow hasn't melted yet and it's dark and the road will be slippery."

Jiang Chen nodded, tied two bags of bacon to his bicycle and went out.

Zhao Qi looked at Jiang Chen who was going out and asked strangely: "Xiaoxue, this is a girl's house, right? You can trust him to go to another girl's house alone?"

Zhang Cui sighed and said nothing.

Liu Yue said: "Don't worry, the leader is measured!"
