Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

Liu Guangtian and his three companions were busy in the workshop, and in one afternoon they solved most of the technical problems for the factory.

Many technicians had to admire him. At first, they thought Liu Guangtian was just talking. After all, technology is something that would starve the master if it were taught to his apprentice, and no one would dare to teach anyone who was not close to him.

Wasn't this the case with the experts and professors who came before? They taught a few basic things and then left. They were nothing like Liu Guangtian, who taught whatever was asked without keeping anything to himself. How could they not admire him?

Director Liu was extremely happy to hear what the technicians said. He said that he had found the right people and would definitely treat them well in the evening.

In the evening, the factory horn rang, and it was time to get off work. Workers walked out one after another with smiles on their faces. There was only lunch in the factory, and the workers could go home for dinner.

In the cafeteria private room, Liu Guangtian and two other people sat down in turn, along with the factory director and six other people, a total of nine people, who were having their own private kitchen in the cafeteria.

This is the way to entertain guests. Liu Guangtian and his team have come all the way to Baoding to provide technical guidance, so they should be treated to something good. Otherwise, how will the Baoding Steel Rolling Mill cope with the situation if this gets out?

Soon the dishes were served one after another. The first dish was braised sea cucumber with scallions, the famous Shandong cuisine, and Tan family cuisine, with more than a dozen dishes of various kinds served with broth.

Liu Guangtian was stunned. This was what happened after having a meal at Fengze Garden.

He immediately gave Director Liu a thumbs up and said, "Brother Zhonghua, you have a master in your kitchen!"

Liu Zhonghua was very happy. He couldn't stop feeling proud every time he reached this stage. Among all the factories in Baoding, only the chefs in his steel rolling mill had excellent cooking skills. He Daqing really made him proud!

Liu Zhonghua said quickly: "I don't dare to call you a master. This master is from Sijiucheng. It turns out that he is related to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He used to work in your factory. Later, I don't know why he came to Baoding. I met him. It's fate!"

"Come on, keep eating and drinking. Drink more tonight. We must make this old man lie down after drinking. Hahahaha..."

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, it's even more terrifying when the chatterbox is opened. The boasting is deafening, and it's good to drink. Drinking can bring people closer together. If you want to get things done, you have to drink happily and brag happily. It's all a matter of a word.

"Brother Zhonghua, I actually came to you to do a small thing. I was asked by someone to let me meet your chef. Don't worry, I'm not trying to poach your chef, but this chef may be an old friend of mine."

Liu Zhonghua had no problem hearing this. What was the big deal about meeting the cook? He was originally from the Forbidden City, so it was normal for him to know him. He waved his hand and said:

"What's the problem? Director Liu, please ask Master He to come over and see him."

"Okay, Director. I'll go ask Master He to come over right away."

Director Liu of the cafeteria got up and walked to the kitchen. At this moment He Daqing was sitting there resting, humming a little tune, nodding his head, looking very happy.

Director Liu: "Master He, Master He."

He Daqing stood up and said with a smile: "Director, do you have any instructions? Do you want more dishes? I'll go right away!"

Director Liu: "Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Master He, I don't want more food, the leader from Sijiu City wants to see you, come with me to take a look."

He Daqing was puzzled for a while. Who was the person from the Sijiucheng Steel Mill who wanted to see him? Who cares? I'll talk to him after I see him!

Following Director Liu into the private room, He Daqing looked at the people who were eating and drinking. He knew the six leaders of the factory, but he had never seen the three young men before.

But one of the young men seemed a little familiar. I wonder where I have seen him before.

When Director Liu saw the newcomer, he smiled at Liu Guangtian and said, "Brother, let me introduce you to this man. This is Master He Daqing, the head chef of our Baoding Steel Rolling Mill."

Liu Guangtian looked at He Daqing and found that he looked exactly like Su Daqiang, just like the character in the TV series, except that he was not as old as he would be 20 years later.

He Daqing greeted Liu Guangtian and the other two and said:

"Hello, three leaders. I am He Daqing, the canteen chef."

Liu Guangtian stood up and laughed, "Hahahaha, I was wondering why the color and taste of today's dishes were so familiar. They are exactly the same as my brother Zhuzi's."

He Daqing's expression froze. Brother Zhuzi? Red Star Courtyard? Who is this young man? He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Liu Guangtian smiled when he heard this: "Uncle He, I guess you don't remember me after not seeing me for so many years. I am Liu Guangtian, the second son of Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard."

He Daqing reacted instantly. This was actually an acquaintance. Liu Guangtian was doing pretty well. He even got special treatment and called his silly son Zhuzi brother. Probably they had a good relationship.

But the occasion is not right, otherwise I would definitely ask about the situation at home.

He Daqing slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, Guang Tian'er, you have grown so big, and I was so shortsighted that I didn't recognize you. Blame me, blame me!"

Liu Zhonghua was very happy. Wouldn't it be easier to talk to this acquaintance? He pulled He Daqing to sit next to Liu Guangtian and asked him to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Daqing, isn't this perfect? ​​It's fate that brings us together, and you're neighbors. Let's have a few drinks together."

Liu Guangtian: "That's right, Uncle He, it's been a while since we last met. Let's have a drink together. Come, I toast you!"

With He Daqing's joining, the atmosphere became more lively. There was another round of eating and drinking, and bragging about everything under the sun. Several people fell down drunk.

After the banquet, Liu Guangtian indicated that he had some personal matters to discuss with He Daqing and asked them to leave first. Director Liu naturally had no objection and left with the others, leaving He Daqing and Liu Guangtian alone in the private room.

He Daqing joined later and didn't drink much, so he was still very sober. He knew Liu Guangtian must have something to say to him, so he said:

"Guangtian'er, uncle never thought you would be so successful. I'm sure your father, Lao Liu, must be very happy."

Liu Guangtian lit up a cigarette for the two and said, "It's just a small achievement, uncle, please don't brag about it. This time I came here not only to provide technical guidance to the factory, but also to carry out tasks assigned by Brother Zhuzi and Sister Yushui. Just listen to me slowly."

He Daqing sat up straight when he heard that, feeling a little excited. His silly son and his little girl at home hadn't written him a letter in all these years. They were so unfilial. It was a pity that he still sent money back every month.

"Just talk, Guang Tian'er, uncle is listening!"

Liu Guangtian: "Okay, uncle, listen to me. My brother Zhuzi got married half a year ago... I told him everything that happened to the two siblings after He Daqing left."

He Daqing was sometimes angry and sometimes happy as he listened to them. His veins popped out when he heard that the brother and sister had no money or food and were begging for food everywhere.

When she heard that her silly son had married the daughter of Lou Bancheng, Lou Xiao'e was even more shocked. How could her silly son be so capable? Then she heard Liu Guangtian say that his daughter-in-law was pregnant some time ago, and she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling!

He slapped his thigh and kept saying that the He family had a successor. Later, he was even more shocked and couldn't believe it when he learned about Yi Zhonghai's calculations and plans for Sha Zhu.

Over the years, the total amount of money he sent to the brother and sister was as much as 1500 yuan, but they never received a penny. He wrote no less than letters to them. He had always wondered why the brother and sister did not reply to his letters for so many years. Now the truth has finally come to light.

He Daqing was so angry that he was shaking all over until Liu Guangtian handed him the two hundred yuan given by Sha Zhu and the letter from Yu Shui.

He Daqing finally couldn't hold back his tears. He didn't have the face to face them again. It was really shameful for a father to have suffered to such an extent, and he was being plotted against.

Liu Guangtian explained everything very clearly. The culprit was Yi Zhonghai. He Daqing must be no fool either. He had to figure out the twists and turns himself. As for whether or not to return to Sijiu City, that was not something Liu Guangtian considered.

After comforting He Daqing, Liu Guangtian walked out of the private room. After Liu Guangtian walked out of the private room, He Daqing's hands were shaking with the money and the letter in them. After a while, heart-wrenching cries were heard from the room.

He Daqing was a tall and strong man, but the old men in the city cried their hearts out with tears and snot, looking so pitiful.

Liu Guangtian shook his head when he heard the crying outside the door. The old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai were really not human beings!
