Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Moreover, there have been huge changes in the past six months, as if they have changed their bodies.

The originally thin Chen Xu now looked very energetic, with a strong body, walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, his eyes were bright and full of youthful vigor.

In contrast, Sha Zhu, who had just returned from labor reform, was as thin as a bamboo pole. Others said that the current Chen Xu might not be able to beat even Xu Damao. When he returned to work at the steel mill, he didn't even have the strength to cook.

At this time, Sha Zhu returned to his job as an apprentice, doing the work of cutting and washing vegetables, and his salary became 17.5 yuan.

This polar reversal is also the reason why Shazhu is particularly unhappy.

In his eyes, how could a poor man like Chen Xu compare with a chef like him? He was just a lucky guy.

Don't bully the young...the middle-aged are poor.

Once I calm down, I will let Chen Xu understand that one still needs to rely on strength to survive in the world.

If Chen Xu knew what Sha Zhu was thinking, he would probably sneer at him.

Fool, if you want to survive in the world, you have to rely on human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Aren’t you, the Courtyard God of War, very good at fighting?

There's no use knowing how to fight. If you want to get ahead, you need power.

What's more, you idiot, you can't even fight now, and you have a face that looks like you're in your forties or fifties. What can you use to fight against a cheater like me? Just wait to have your blood sucked, you idiot.

Chen Xu was in no mood to deal with this idiot.

When Jia Dongxu is hung on the wall next year, you, the fool, will be the one to laugh at.

When the wind blows, you will cry just because you have been sent to labor reform.

In Chen Xu's heart, Sha Zhu's suffering had just begun. In his memory, this guy's end was already miserable, and now he was sent to labor reform. He didn't know if this guy could survive until the day when Bang Geng kicked him out of the house. Yet, this guy felt good about himself.

To put it bluntly, this guy has no self-awareness at all.

After half a year, in addition to the space he gained, Chen Xu also saved a lot of money. Although he spent a lot on furniture and other things, he still saved nearly a thousand yuan. This was all the result of his hard work in making money from the steel mill.

If he didn't have to take care of his wife who was still in his hometown and supplement his nutrition with several meals a day, he probably could have saved a little more.

Of course, Chen Xu understands the principle of not showing off one’s wealth better than anyone else.

In addition, it is still a disaster year. In the eyes of the residents of the courtyard house, this guy only cooks one or two meals at home on Sundays, and usually eats a meal at the steel rolling mill. This is in line with the habits of a single man.

Not only Chen Xu, many bachelors do this.

As for why this guy can grow up while eating in the cafeteria, it’s hard to say. Maybe he is gifted.

It is said that Chen Xu has a girlfriend. No one knows how the news spread. It is probably spread slowly by people near his hometown.

Although Chen Xu kept his mouth shut in Sijiucheng, there was no guarantee that people who came to work in Sijiucheng would believe him, and he would naturally be unable to hide it over time.

Chen Xu didn't care. He and Lin Chan were in a normal relationship and had even met each other's parents. No one could find fault with it.

Xu Damao has always been curious about what Chen Xu's wife looks like. After all, with Chen Xu's current conditions, it is not difficult for him to marry a city wife. If there is no other reason, Xu Damao would not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Moreover, there is an example in the courtyard. Qin Huairu also has a rural household registration. In terms of appearance, she is indeed unrivaled in the courtyard. Xu Damao suspects that Chen Xu also likes her because she is beautiful.

Chen Xu casually evaded the question and just said that he was an acquaintance from his hometown and he had known him since childhood.

However, Sha Zhu looked at Chen Xu with some contempt, thinking that Chen Xu was a hopeless case who would rather marry a country girl than a city girl.

Chen Xu looked at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool. "Given your current condition, any woman wouldn't even look at you straight in the eye. You might as well take care of yourself."

Neither of them spoke, but they understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

Shazhu was so angry.

"How dare you look down on me?"

"What do you have that I should appreciate?"

"I...I'm a good cook."

"Really? An apprentice chef?"

Sha Zhu pointed at Chen Xu and trembled. If he didn't feel that he couldn't beat Chen Xu, he really wanted to punch him in the face.

Xu Damao next to him tried to hold it in for a long time but finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Chen Xu's mouth was even worse than his. He was always the kind of person who could make people angry to death. It's just that Chen Xu didn't like to talk much usually.

Xu Damao, who successfully attracted hatred, did not take Sha Zhu's fierce gaze seriously.

Now, because of the incident where Sha Zhu was sentenced to labor camp for beating someone, the Siheyuan has become much more harmonious. At least people don't fight for no reason. But because of this, quarrels have become commonplace.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to hit someone? Come on, hit me here."

Xu Damao was even more shameless. He tilted his neck and moved his face closer.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists tightly, staring at Xu Damao's face that looked like he deserved a beating and really wanted to slap him without caring about the consequences.

The three of them started arguing again, but some people in the courtyard came to watch the fun, some to laugh at the joke, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

Even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were watching the fun in the crowd.

When Sha Zhu just came back, the two old men were still quite nervous. After all, if a fight broke out again, they would have to step forward to stop the fight no matter what.

Last time, Director Wang scolded them for watching a play. If it happens again, they will probably follow in Yi Zhonghai's footsteps.

However, as time went by, everyone realized that although the three of them were quarreling, no one dared to start a fight first.

Chen Xu dared to take action, but there was no need. He knew very well that fighting was fighting, and as long as the other person was not injured, he would at most give him a lecture. Fighting was not a rare thing these days.

Fights occasionally occur in steel rolling mills, but they are always kept within a safe range.

After all, no one is like Shazhu, who kicks someone in the crotch as soon as he disagrees with something.

Watching the two people's quarrel entering a white-hot stage, Chen Xu had already become a spectator on the side. Xu Damao was always excited every time he faced Sha Zhu, especially in this kind of environment where he could only talk. He had never been inferior to anyone.

Chen Xu was too lazy to continue and let Xu Damao do his best.

Until someone tapped my back.

Chen Xu turned around and looked at the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady was very cunning and hid behind the crowd. Chen Xu's position just blocked her.

"Move aside, let me see who is bullying my eldest grandson..."

Chen Xu rolled his eyes. If he hadn't noticed the deaf old lady earlier, he would have thought that the old guy had just come over.

Obviously, the deaf old lady was so angry at Sha Zhu that she had to come out to stop the situation, so as to prevent her eldest grandson from doing anything wrong again.

Chen Xu looked at the cane in the deaf old lady's hand. This old woman actually had some sense. If she had dared to hit him with the cane just now, he would have had something to say to her.

The deaf old lady stood up, and Chen Xu stood next to Xu Damao calmly.

Two against two, very reasonable.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

Sha Zhu couldn't argue with Xu Damao, and when he saw the old lady, he felt like he had seen his savior, so he just found a way out.

"If I hadn't come, you would have been bullied to death..."

The deaf old lady looked at her silly grandson helplessly. She knew that his mouth was not as eloquent as Xu Damao's, but he always insisted on competing with her. In the end, she was so angry that she lay dead on her bed with her eyes wide open all night. Why bother?
