Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

"Dad, isn't it already decided? It's not like they can't wait. They'll be getting married by the end of the year."

He Daqing glared with dead fish eyes and said unhappily.

"I'm already old, I just want to have a great-grandson, so what's wrong with asking them to hurry up? Get the marriage certificate first, have a baby, and then hold a wedding banquet, isn't that the same thing?"

Silly Zhu lowered his head.

"I won't go and tell you to go."

He Daqing slapped him on the head.

"If I dare to go, will I tell you?"

Li Jianjun understood He Daqing's idea, but Qin Huairu did not agree to this. How could he hold a wedding banquet with a child? Wouldn't it make people laugh to death?

"Hey, Uncle He, Zhuzi, are you guys arguing so early in the morning?"

Sha Zhu looked up and saw Li Jianjun and Xu Damao coming back with the child, and he ran over immediately.

"Jianjun is back? Hey, Qiqi, do you still recognize me?"

Qiqi called out "Uncle He" and Shazhu was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He immediately took Qiqi from Li Jianjun's arms.

Qiqi didn't resist.

Sha Zhu held Qiqi and looked at Xu Damao and said.

"Is Damao back too?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Silly, Zhuzi, how are you doing lately?"

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao call him "sha", he was a little angry, but then he turned around and let it go.

"It's OK, but it's too boring. Chen Guang didn't let me go to work anymore and told me to rest at home and take care of my dad."

At this time, He Daqing walked over with a stern face.

"Who needs your care? I'm not paralyzed in bed."

After saying that, Qiqi's face changed into a smiling one again, and she looked so enthusiastic.

"Qiqi, do you still remember me?"

ChiChi yelled.

"Hello, Grandpa He."

He Daqing felt relieved after hearing this and took out a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.

"Here, Qiqi, eat."

Qiqi didn't take it, but looked at Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun nodded and Qiqi took it.

"Thank you, Grandpa He."

He Daqing smiled happily.

"Jianjun, your Qiqi is really polite."

After saying that, he teased Xu Mingzhu again, and after hearing about Grandpa He, he also gave her candy.

Li Jianjun laughed.

"Uncle He, why didn't you go out to play with the second and third uncles?"

He Daqing said disdainfully.

"I won't go with them. They locked me in the house and didn't let me in. I can't afford to lose face. There are only two of them, but they insist on going to people's houses every day. What's the word for that? Oh, right, they never get tired of it."

Silly Zhu said.

"Jianjun, Damao, have lunch at home. I'll go buy some groceries later."

Li Jianjun smiled and shook his head.

"No, Auntie just asked me to go to her house for dinner, and I agreed."

Silly Zhu nodded.

"That's fine. I'll go to Auntie's house and cook some food. We'll eat together. I haven't eaten with you two for a long time."

Having said that, Li Jianjun couldn't refuse.

"That's fine with me, but you have to tell Auntie Three."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, I have a good relationship with the Third Uncle."

After saying hello, the two took the child to the backyard.

Xu Mingzhu looked at her former home and asked curiously.

"Dad, is this our old home?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Yes, Dad, Mom and my brother all lived here before."

Xu Mingzhu asked curiously.

"Dad, this place is so small, can we live here?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"We were all poor at that time and had no money, so this was the only way."

Xu Mingzhu was obviously shocked. She felt that this house might not even be as big as her room.

After watching for a while, the second uncle and the third uncle came back.

The third uncle came running over in a hurry.

"Jianjun, Damao, you're back?"

The second uncle was still as fat as before, and he started panting after running for a while.

"Jianjun, Damao, we have to have a good time together today. This is a rare opportunity."

The two little girls greeted politely.

Then a few people came to the middle courtyard and sat in front of Shazhu's door to chat.

"Second uncle, third uncle, I heard that you were locked outside?"

The third uncle looked embarrassed.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Didn't your uncle and I go there to promote your company's good treatment and retirement benefits? Who knew they got jealous and didn't listen to us, and even refused to let us in."

The second uncle nodded vigorously.

"That's right. I was a leader after all, and they didn't respect me at all."

The others smiled and didn't expose them.

Li Jianjun asked.

"I haven't paid attention to our courtyard for a long time. Is everything okay at home?"

The third uncle said with a smile.

"Jianjun, you are a busy man. Such a big business needs your advice. We understand. Everything is fine at home. Jiecheng and Yuli are a little busy with work. We were supposed to take care of the child, but they went to his grandmother's house these days. Jiefang and Xiaozao live outside. Xiaozao brought her mother to take care of the child. Jie Kuang and his wife are doing well. Jie Di is also doing well at her in-laws' house. Last time, she came to me and said that she wanted my son-in-law to join the company, but I refused."

After seeing the third uncle showing off, the second uncle also started to show off.

"Jianjun, our Guangqi is grateful to you, otherwise he wouldn't want to come back. Now the three of them are back. They have good jobs and we can visit them often. Guangtian is also doing well and has become the workshop director. It's just that Guangfu is a little worse and is still a team leader."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"Life is better now, and we no longer have to go hungry like before."

The third uncle sighed.

"Who says it's not true? In the past, we could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year. Now we can eat whenever we want. We can even have a drink if we're happy."

The second uncle nodded repeatedly.

"As for eggs, we can eat as many as we want. We no longer have to go to the black market for a few eggs."

The third uncle said happily.

"The best decision we made in our lives was to follow Jianjun. That's why we have such a good life today. Otherwise, I can't imagine it."

Sha Zhu laughed.

"I say, Uncle Second and Uncle Third, stop showing off. I'm afraid you've said this countless times around us, right?"

He Daqing slapped Sha Zhu.

"What nonsense are you talking about? People are telling the truth."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Jianjun.

Sha Zhu noticed his father's look and immediately understood, and slapped his mouth repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, it's true. I said too much."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"You don't have to be like this. I'm just trying my best to help my old neighbor."

He Daqing said immediately.

"You are so generous, Jianjun. If I were you, I would definitely not let this kid go to work. It's because he followed that damned Yi Zhonghai to bully you."

Li Jianjun said in surprise.

"Yi Zhonghai is dead?"

Li Jianjun really didn't know that Yi Zhonghai was dead.

The third uncle nodded.

"He died. He was gone three months after he was in there. They said he died of illness, and they came to the courtyard to ask if anyone could collect his body. Lao Liu and I went there for the sake of our old neighbors, and brought back his ashes. We buried him not far from Dongxu. After all, we were master and disciple."
