Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed at this time. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't look at someone else's wife in front of someone else's man, so he immediately changed his target and stared at Xu Damao. "Xu Damao, don't you call yourself a real man in Beijing? If you donate less than me, don't blame me for looking down on you."

Sha Zhu was very smart. He not only relieved his own embarrassment, but also tricked Xu Damao. But just when he was proud of his cleverness, the thing he imagined did not happen. To be more precise, it was about to happen but was stopped by someone.

Xu Damao was about to stand up and fight back when Li Jianjun next to him grabbed his arm and shook his head at him. At this moment, Xu Damao came to his senses. Xu Damao was smarter than Sha Zhu. The reason why he was fooled repeatedly before was that he was overwhelmed by the word "mortal enemy" and he didn't want to lose face in front of Sha Zhu.

This action was seen by everyone present, and they immediately labeled Li Jianjun a smart man.

Xu Damao sat down again without saying anything. Jia Zhang was anxious. The money that was about to be in her hands was gone. This was too much. She immediately yelled, "What's your business, you little bastard? You occupy my house and don't allow people to donate to my family. You are bullying our family. Old Jia, come back and take a look. Someone is bullying our family. Take him away."

Li Jianjun said nothing, just looked at her, staring at her. Jia Zhang noticed Li Jianjun's eyes and shuddered. It's impossible to hide the threatening look in a person's eyes.

Jia Zhang was embarrassed, she didn't know whether to shout or get up. Fortunately, Jia Dongxu came to the rescue and pulled her up.

Jia Zhang got up, and Sha Zhu couldn't sit still any longer. "Newcomer, what do you mean? Do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

Li Jianjun said calmly: "I don't want to get involved in your business, so don't mess with me."

Shazhu is puzzled. You have taken care of everything, but you still say you don’t want to care. What’s the matter? Do you dare to do it but not to admit it?

Yi Zhonghai saw that the situation was not right and immediately tried to smooth things over. "Don't say anything nonsense. Donations are all voluntary. Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. No one can say anything. At most, we won't help him when he has problems in the future."

In fact, there was already a threatening element in Yi Zhonghai's words, but Li Jianjun didn't care. He didn't need anyone's help. With his uncle Li Huaide's relationship, he would be the safest even if a strong wind blew. His uncle could still land safely after the strong wind. It was perfect. Then he could start a business with his uncle. How could he need their help?

Li Jianjun didn't care, but others did, and they all donated a little under the pressure of Yi Zhonghai.

After a final calculation, they had donated about 50 yuan, which was equivalent to more than two months' salary for others. Jia Zhang happily took the money home, and Yi Zhonghai was quite satisfied. The only flaw was that Xu Damao and Li Jianjun did not donate. They were two thorns, and it was a headache just thinking about it.

The second uncle was happy. Although he donated money, he found that someone who could resist Yi Zhonghai had appeared. There were people who resisted before, but they were all suppressed. The key was the deaf old lady.

The third uncle was unhappy because he had lost his two dollars. With a ticket he could buy more than two pounds of meat, and on the black market he could also buy half a pound of meat.

After the meeting, Li Jianjun returned Xiaodang to Qin Huairu. Sha Zhu was jealous when he saw this. Why didn't he think of using this method to get close to Qin Huairu? Then he went home happily as if he had discovered a new continent.

Qin Huairu took the small bag and said, "Brother Li, I'm really sorry. My mother-in-law is that kind of person. Don't take it to heart and don't bother with her." At this time, Jia Zhang shouted, "Qin Huairu, you shameless person, it's so late and you haven't come home yet. What are you talking to other men about?"

Jia Dongxu looked back and said nothing, but his eyes were a little unhappy. Qin Huairu hurriedly said to Li Jianjun: "Brother Li, I'm going home. Come, Xiaodang, say goodbye to Uncle Li."

Xiao Dang waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, uncle," with reluctance in his eyes. When Qin Huairu was about to turn around, Xiao Dang added, "Uncle, can I still play with you tomorrow?"

Li Jianjun was stunned for a moment. "Sure, but uncle has to go shopping tomorrow. Do you want to go with uncle?"

Xiao Dang's eyes flickered immediately, "Uncle, I want to go with you."

Li Jianjun looked at Xiaodang's expectant eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, uncle will go shopping tomorrow, you can help uncle get the things, but you can't sleep in, otherwise uncle won't wait for you tomorrow"

Xiaodang said hurriedly: "I never sleep late, I will wait for uncle early tomorrow morning and help him get things." In Xiaodang's heart, she was very happy to help her uncle, because her uncle was very good to her, better than her father, because her father had never given her such delicious candy, even if he did, he would give it to her brother or grandmother, she and her mother had never eaten it.

"Okay, uncle will wait for you to go together tomorrow, see you tomorrow" Li Jianjun went home. Xiaodang also went home happily.

Qin Huairu went home and lay on the bed, her mind full of Li Jianjun talking to Xiaodang gently. He was really gentle, which was what Qin Huairu thought her husband should be like, but the reality gave her a slap in the face, a nagging mother-in-law, Jia Dongxu, who was still a second-level fitter after so many years. Except for the beginning of her marriage, Qin Huairu herself couldn't remember how long she hadn't felt gentle. It was just a thought, what could she do if she was unwilling, this was the way it was in this life, if there was an afterlife, she hoped to meet Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun returned home and thought about the meeting today. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "How cunning!"

He remembered what Yi Zhonghai said at the beginning, donating food to Jia's family, but there was no food, so he could only donate some money for him to buy food. Where to buy food? It must be the black market. At this time of famine, no one dared to go to the black market, otherwise there would be big problems. At the beginning, it was said that it was a donation of food. The street office stipulated that donations needed to be reviewed, but donations of food did not need to be reviewed. I had no food, and I didn't want to see my neighbors starving, so I donated some money. It made sense. Even if I reported it to the street office, it would be useless. This was the cunning part of Yi Zhonghai, leaving no handle.

Li Jianjun thought about it and felt that Yi Zhonghai was more cunning than he had imagined and would be difficult to deal with. Today they had a grudge against each other and from now on it would just depend on who had better tactics.

Also, the attitude of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui today gave him some ideas. The old man said that it is a taboo to win over a group and suppress a group. It is a taboo to fight alone. Smart people always take advantage of the situation. I have to think about it carefully. Also, do I really have to go to the purchasing department? My cooking skills are ruined. Purchasing is dangerous. I have to go out even if I pretend. Otherwise, if a purchasing agent stays in the office all day, won’t it give people a handle?

On Monday I went to work and asked my uncle to change my job so that I could be the chef and the boss in the kitchen. It was a happy decision.
