At 7:30 in the evening, brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yushui sat under the eaves with their bowls in hand to eat in the cool air. Although it was dark in the distance, the temperature was still high.

"Brother, if you don't call tomorrow, let's go swimming outdoors. It's too hot."

Yu Shui didn’t know yet that her brother had to go to work at the steel mill every day, but it only lasted for the morning and he would be free in the afternoon.

Since his sister wanted to go swimming in the wild, He Yuzhu would definitely agree.

"Let's go in the afternoon. Isn't it the hottest in the afternoon? I can ride a motorcycle, so it won't take three hours. I can get there in just one hour."

"Ah."

The next day, before six o'clock, He Yuzhu had already gotten up and washed. He rushed to the steel rolling mill at six o'clock to prepare breakfast for the workers in the special workshop, including rice porridge, boiled eggs, and steamed buns. Around seven o'clock, people came in to get their meals.

At around eight o'clock, the last factory doctor, Li Yaxuan, yawned as she walked to the restaurant. After dinner, she spent some time with He Yuzhu. Then she went to work in the factory clinic in case someone got injured and couldn't find her.

After He Yuzhu finished cleaning up, he chopped ten pounds of pork into a paste and made meatballs. He also threw the tofu into the oil pan to make stews, including braised tofu, braised chicken with potatoes, and finally the soup.

There were two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Everyone couldn't help but praise He Yuzhu while eating. Especially when they saw that only soup was left in the three bowls, He Yuzhu's face was filled with happiness.

This is also the happiest moment as a chef.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard. Yu Shui could not wait any longer and sat on the back of the motorcycle. The brother and sister arrived in the suburbs before three o'clock. There was no one around and the scenery was excellent. Yu Shui took off her skirt and pulled her brother into the water, swimming happily.

In the special workshop of the steel rolling mill, everyone got off work at four o'clock. Zhang Yuanyang and Bai Xiaoshuang took the first successful part they had made in the past few days, lifted it up and put it on the car to show it to the upper management.

Others don't have to work until six o'clock. Qin Jingru wiped the sweat from her forehead. She hadn't been intimate with her brother Zhuzi for several days. Today, after an early shift, she rode her bike back to the courtyard, picked up a clean skirt, and rode her bike to the bathhouse to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Qin Jingru walked out of the bathhouse. The moment the breeze blew, she felt much more comfortable all over. As a welder, in order to prevent burns, she had to wear work clothes in the hot summer, so she came home every day smelling of sweat and feeling very tired.

Passing by a snack stall and a restaurant, Qin Jingru bought a roast duck, pork head, and beer. She returned to the courtyard and watched Qin Huairu go to the cellar to get vegetables. Qin Jingru did not return to the west wing, but took the things she bought to He Yuzhu's house.

Qin Jingru sat down to rest for a while, and saw the mop placed in the corner, so she started mopping the floor and cleaning without any complaints.

By the time He Yuzhu and He Yushui had finished their fun and returned to the courtyard, it was already half past six. He Yuzhu had just parked his motorcycle when he saw Qin Jingru walking out of his house.

"Brother Zhuzi, Yushui, you are back."

He Yuzhu saw Qin Jingru, looked at his watch and said, "Don't you get off work at six? You will be back to the courtyard in half an hour!" It takes more than twenty minutes to walk from the courtyard to the steel mill!

"After getting off work early today, I went to take a shower and bought some roast duck, pork head and beer." Speaking of taking a shower, Qin Jingru's face turned red unconsciously.

Yu Shui chuckled and said nothing.

Qin Jingru's current monthly salary plus subsidies is about 60 yuan, but hasn't she been paid yet? He Yuzhu didn't say anything. After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Yu Shui hurriedly left and returned to her own little room.

Without a fan, one would sweat profusely while working. At twelve o'clock late in the night, He Yuzhu poured a basin of cold water, wiped his body, and smoked a cigarette.

After Qin Jingru finished wiping her body, He Yuzhu took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Qin Jingru, saying, "Don't spend money recklessly in the future."

"Brother Zhuzi, I have money, please put it away quickly."

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at her, turned over, picked up her clothes and put the money into her pocket, saying, "You have money because you have money, and I give you money because I give you money."

Qin Jingru was deeply moved, and then He Yuzhu fell asleep while holding Qin Jingru.

At daybreak, Qin Jingru didn't need to go to the steel mill so early, so He Yuzhu tried not to make any noise so that Qin Jingru could rest for a while. After a whole day's work, the two of them had been busy for most of the night.

Before He Yuzhu left, Qin Jingru had already woken up and washed up with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu asked Qin Jingru to take a nap and go to the steel mill after seven o'clock.

About half an hour after He Yuzhu arrived at the steel rolling mill, Qin Jingru came to the second canteen. She got off work early yesterday, and since then, she has been exhausted every day. She doesn't know when she will be bothered by him again.

At seven fifty, Qin Jingru followed everyone to the workshop. After working for only an hour, everyone could hardly bear it anymore. It was too hot, and the equipment in their hands felt like hot stones.

He Yuzhu stood at the door, looking at the scorching sun. Without anything to cool down, he estimated that someone would get a heat stroke today. So He Yuzhu found Li Yaxuan and got some sour plum soup to relieve the heat and thirst, and Li Yaxuan even added some dried mint.

After it was ready, the two of them, one carrying a large bucket of sour plum soup and the other carrying a bowl, came to the special workshop.

But before He Yuzhu could call everyone over, Yi Zhonghai pointed at He Yuzhu and started to accuse him.

"He Yuzhu, why did you only bring us the cooling food so late, almost at noon? Do you know how long you've delayed us?"

He Yuzhu opened his eyes wide, feeling incredible.

"No, say it again!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't know whether he was confused by the heat or felt that he was fine again. He walked to He Yuzhu and saw the sour plum soup that was still steaming. He kicked it and said, "It's so hot, who are you letting drink it?"

What the hell!

Before He Yuzhu could lose his temper, Li Yaxuan put the bowl on the table and started yelling at everyone.

"Fuck, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless. What? Deputy Director He owes you something. The higher-ups asked Brother Zhuzi to make breakfast and lunch for you. There was no requirement for this sour plum soup. Brother Zhuzi asked me to prepare it when I got home. He spent his own money to make sour plum soup for you to cool down!"

"All the popsicles you've had these past few days were bought by Brother Zhuzi alone. You're still talking like that. Who do you think you are? The planet won't turn without you, and the steel mill won't be able to operate without you!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red. He couldn't win the argument with Li Yaxuan, so he turned to the other workers who were working and wiping their sweat, and said, "Everyone, come and see. He Yuzhu was asked to cook for us. Shouldn't he prepare something to cool us down? The food he brought is so hot. It's too late to think that we have heatstroke, isn't it?"
