Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

People are like this. Qin Huairu had completely forgotten the promise she made to Li Tianyou at the beginning.

I said I would not disturb Li Tianyou's life, I just wanted to have a chance to be with Li Tianyou.

But Qin Huairu's series of actions today completely made her act like Li Tianyou's housekeeper.

Li Tianyou also made a promise to Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu left Li Tianyou's office with satisfaction.

Li Tianyou looked at the office door that had been closed by Qin Huairu and sighed in his heart. It seemed that he still did not have enough understanding of himself!

Li Tianyou was right. As a otaku in his previous life, he still lacked a certain degree of confidence in these matters.

This afternoon, Li Tianyou rarely went home but had lunch in the canteen of the steel rolling mill.

In the past, Li Tianyou always thought that Gao Meiyu couldn’t cook, but in the end, Li Tianyou found out that he was wrong.

The food Gao Meiyu cooked was not delicious, but it was still good.

Li Tianyou came to the cafeteria and lined up. The workers in the factory also greeted Li Tianyou enthusiastically.

This also made Li Tianyou feel the enthusiasm of workers in this era for their work. The workers regarded their work in the factory as part of national construction, and felt that every time they tightened one more screw, they were working hard to build the country.

Li Tianyou felt that the workers were able to remain so enthusiastic even when they were starving. The conclusion was that they had hope and could see better days coming.

In fact, all of this is true, unlike in later generations, where workers were exploited by their bosses.

Li Tianyou came to the food window. When Sha Zhu saw Li Tianyou, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Hey, Chief Li, this is the first time I see you eating in the cafeteria!"

Li Tianyou looked at Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "Stop being funny. Don't you see so many people are still queuing? Hurry up and get your food."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Okay."

Sha Zhu picked up Li Tianyou's lunch box and filled it with food, and also put two white steamed buns on the lid of the lunch box.

Li Tianyou looked at Sha Zhu with a helpless smile, put down his meal ticket, took his lunch box and steamed buns, found a seat and sat down.

Li Tianyou looked at the food in the lunch box, shredded potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage and pork belly. It was not bad. After all, it was the first day back to work after the Chinese New Year, so the food was still good.

Li Tianyou picked up the chopsticks and started eating. It was nice to have something like this occasionally after eating a lot of meat and fish all day. It might also be because Sha Zhu's cooking skills were really good, Li Tianyou felt that the food was quite delicious.

Just as Li Tianyou was eating happily, a figure placed his food in front of Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou felt helpless as he looked at the person coming, thinking about the little girl Yu Haitang. She was not like that in movies and TV dramas!

Isn't Yu Haitang supposed to be arrogant? Why is she pestering me so much? I don't think I have any contact with her.

Yu Haitang looked at Li Tianyou and smiled sweetly, saying, "Chief Li, this is the first time I see you eating in the cafeteria."

Li Tianyou smiled politely and said: "What a coincidence, I can meet Yu Dachanghua while having a meal." Li Tianyou did not answer Yu Haitang.

When Yu Haitang smiled, her beautiful dimples and sweet smile made Li Tianyou's heart tighten. Li Tianyou now finally understood why men could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

How to deal with this? Indifferent? Nothing at all? Don't be ridiculous. If you can say such a thing, it means you have never been tempted. (If there are upright readers, delete all the saved files on your disk if you have the ability.)

Yu Haitang looked at Li Tianyou with pure eyes and smiled: "Chief Li, how do you feel about what I mentioned to you this morning? Are you willing to transfer me to your purchasing department?"

Li Tianyou smiled faintly and said, "The Propaganda Department is such a good department, with good benefits and easy work. There is no need to change departments. I am afraid that if I transfer you, Yu Dachanghua, to our Purchasing Department, the head of your Propaganda Department will come to the Purchasing Department to scold me."

Yu Haitang smiled and said, "Alas, it seems that Section Chief Li is not planning to transfer me to the Purchasing Department."

Li Tianyou said: "In my opinion, the Propaganda Department is more suitable for you, so there is no need for Yu Dachanghua to change."

Yu Haitang was not annoyed at all. She knew that Li Tianyou was married after all. How could Li Tianyou not know her obvious intention?

Therefore, it would be strange if Li Tianyou agreed to it directly.

Although she thought so in her heart, Yu Haitang still said: "It seems that I still failed to impress Chief Li."

Li Tianyou shook his head and smiled: "Yu Haitang, I'm not as good as you think, so you should seriously consider other people!"

Yu Haitang didn't show any anger after hearing what Li Tianyou said. Instead, she looked at Li Tianyou with seductive eyes and said softly, "Oh, really? I don't think so. Chief Li, if you hadn't gone on a blind date with Ding Qiunan at that time, but had asked my sister's father-in-law to find me directly, would we have been married?"

Li Tianyou sighed inwardly. If he had not been prejudiced by the movies and TV dramas at that time, but had directly asked Yan Bugui to find Yu Haitang, he would definitely marry Yu Haitang.

Then nothing would have happened to Qin Huairu, and nothing would have happened to Gao Meiyu either. Who can tell for sure whether fortune or misfortune will come with it?

Li Tianyou said: "As for Ding Qiunan, I have seen her before, but you, Yu Dachanghua, were still a stranger to me at that time. In fact, you are still a stranger to me now."

Li Tianyou never dreamed that Yu Haitang would be so different from the one in film and television dramas. However, because of his prejudice, he now has Gao Meiyu, Qin Huairu, and Zheng Yanran, so Li Tianyou has no regrets.

Yu Haitang smiled and said, "We'll naturally become familiar with each other if we meet more often, right?"

Li Tianyou said: "I'm already married, why bother?"

Yu Haitang shook his head and said, "Chief Li, you actually overlooked a problem."

Li Tianyou asked curiously: "Oh, what did I overlook?"

Yu Haitang put away her smile and said seriously: "If you don't have a special relationship with that Hong Kong woman in your house, I don't believe she can live in your house for so long. You have to know how much people in Hong Kong look down on us inland people. How could she live in a slum for so long?

But what makes me more curious is how your wife Gao Meiyu can accept such a relationship?"

Li Tianyou was stunned when he heard this. He put away his indifferent expression and looked at Yu Haitang seriously and said, "Who told you that?"

Yu Haitang smiled calmly and said: "Of course it's my sister Yu Li. Many people in your hospital don't care about these details because they don't know much about Xiangjiang. I'm from the Propaganda Department, so I know a little about Xiangjiang.

And Chief Li, I am sure that I am not the only one who has made such a guess. There must be others who have also guessed it, but they just didn't say it."

Li Tianyou nodded, thinking to himself that he was indeed careless and did not think of this.

I guess Lou Xiao'e from the Siheyuan has already guessed it, but she just doesn't want to say it.

Li Tianyou smiled calmly and said, "You are right. It is exactly as you guessed."

Yu Haitang also smiled and said, "Then Chief Li, would you like to have me as an extra?"

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "Why? You know, Gao Meiyu and I have already obtained the marriage certificate."

Yu Haitang smiled brightly and looked at Li Tianyou and said: "I don't know, maybe this is the feeling of being moved!"

Li Tianyou looked at Yu Haitang and smiled: "I understand."

After Li Tianyou finished speaking, he put away his lunch box and left the cafeteria. Yu Haitang also smiled slightly, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

For Yu Haitang, today was still a fruitful day because her guess was verified.

After all, Yu Haitang was not sure that Li Tianyou and Zheng Yanran were just as she had guessed. Now that she had Li Tianyou's confirmation, she had a chance.

Li Tianyou was very nervous and all he wanted was to send Zheng Yanran back to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Bringing Zheng Yanran to Sijiu City was really a lack of consideration on my part.

Li Tianyou also remembered that it had been over the New Year and Gao Meiyu had not once mentioned going to see Gao Shanhai. From this, it could be seen that his father-in-law must have some complaints about him.

Although Zhang Fuwang went to persuade Gao Shanhai, Gao Shanhai must still be blaming himself in his heart.

Because of these things, Li Tianyou no longer wanted to stay in the steel mill, so he went straight back to the courtyard.

As soon as Li Tianyou arrived at the East Courtyard, he used his true eyes to see that Qin Huairu was talking to Gao Meiyu and Zheng Yanran.

There was no need to guess that Qin Huairu was talking to the two girls about Yu Haitang, and Li Tianyou suddenly felt a headache.

Li Tianyou pushed the door open helplessly and entered the room. Facing the gazes of the three women, Li Tianyou forced himself to put on an awkward smile and said, "What are you talking about?"

Gao Meiyu snorted coldly and said, "Brother Tianyou, is the factory flower pretty?"

Zheng Yanran also smiled and said: "Of course the factory flower is beautiful. It's a factory with tens of thousands of people, how can she not be beautiful, right, Brother Tianyou."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Tianyou jokingly with an expression as if she was watching a show.

That look seemed to be telling Li Tianyou, let's see how you explain it.

Li Tianyou looked at the three girls helplessly and said: "Yu Haitang is an independent-minded person. How can I control her words and deeds? What does she want to do and what does she want to say to me? I can't just go around her!"

Gao Meiyu frowned and said, "Oh, so we have wronged you?"

Li Tianyou shook his head and said, "I didn't say you blamed me wrongly. To be honest, if you put yourself in my shoes, I understand how you feel. We are a family and we should understand and tolerate each other. Life is not as beautiful as we imagine. There are also troubles of all sizes. We should face them together, right?"

Gao Meiyu snorted when she heard that, while Zheng Yanran nodded helplessly.

Qin Huairu said: "How are you going to deal with Yu Haitang's matter?"

Li Tianyou sighed and said, "I am already very content. With the three of you, I really don't plan to provoke anyone else, whether you believe it or not."

Zheng Yanran nodded and said, "I still believe what Brother Tianyou said."

Think about how Li Tianyou treated Zheng Yanran and Qin Huairu in the past.

Li Tianyou said: "This Yu Haitang is very different from the one I know. She doesn't have that kind of arrogant and conceited personality. I never dreamed that she would be able to lower her face and take the initiative to find me."

Gao Meiyu frowned and said, "Brother Tianyou, what do you mean?"
