Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

The next morning, He Yuzhu woke up at 7:50, dressed quickly, washed up, and signed in. Looking at the yuan and sugar and cloth coupons he had earned from signing in today, he decided to sign in by himself when he had nothing to do in the future, find something for himself to do, and then prepare to go to work.

After arriving at the steel mill and arranging today's work in the kitchen, he went to Li Huaide's office. The secretary knocked on the door and led He Yuzhu in.

"Director, you are looking for me," He Yuzhu said politely to Li Huaide.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I will call you Zhuzi. There are no outsiders here today. I plan to ask you to cook a meal for my father-in-law, but it has to be kept a secret. What do you think?" Li Huaide asked.

"No problem, you and I are just chefs, of course we have to serve the leader," He Yuzhu agreed readily.

"Okay, I'll arrange a car for work tomorrow morning, and you can come with me. Go and prepare it. The cafeteria's big pot dishes should be fine with your apprentice's cooking skills watching over them."

After returning to the kitchen, He Yuzhu told Ma Hua, "Perform well recently. Your boss just told me that your cooking skills are decent enough for big pot dishes. If you perform better, I can apply for you to be a level 9 chef."

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. Now I can become a level nine chef," Ma Hua said excitedly.

“Why are you so happy? I, He Yuzhu, am just a level nine chef. What’s there to be proud of? Work hard in the future and don’t embarrass me,” said He Yuzhu, looking at Ma Hua’s happy expression.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not embarrass you," Ma Hua assured, patting his chest.

"Okay, let's go prepare lunch for today."

"Zhu Zi, do you have a good relationship with Xu Damao from your compound?" Liu Lan suddenly came over and asked.

"Not bad, what's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked.

"He didn't do anything bad, did he?" Liu Lan asked again.

"He has been going out to show movies frequently recently and has not been in the courtyard. But I saw him yesterday and I didn't hear that he did anything bad." He Yuzhu said curiously.

"Is it a bad thing for him to tease the little girl? I often see him playing and fighting with the girls in the office while getting their meals," Ma Hua said.

"Go and make your meal. What's your business?" Seeing that Ma Hua had not left yet, He Yuzhu quickly sent him away.

"I heard someone was investigating him recently. My cousin from Nantai Commune is from that commune. She told me that Xu Damao went there to show a movie some time ago. Not long after he left, a young widow in the village suddenly became pregnant. I wonder if it was his?"

"Okay, I got it, thank you very much," He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude to Liu Lan. He knew that Liu Lan was a gossiper and she would know about any disturbance in the factory first. He would have to remind Xu Damao after get off work to see how he would handle it.

After that, He Yuzhu directed everyone to prepare today's lunch. Until the end of get off work, He Yuzhu did not notice Banggeng coming to the steel mill to steal soy sauce. Maybe the two families had a bad relationship and he didn't dare to come. He shook his head and went home without thinking about it.

He Yuzhu went home, cleaned up and washed clothes, and heard Xu Damao yelling in the backyard: "Where are our chickens? Why is there one missing?"

"How come one is missing? There were two when I fed them this morning. Please look for them again. I've been sleeping at home," Lou Xiao'e walked out yawning.

Xu Damao yelled at the door of his house, "Even my chickens were stolen at home, I don't know what to say to you,

"I wasn't feeling well today. I fell asleep after feeding the chickens in the morning, but you kept staring at the chickens." Lou Xiao'e felt guilty for losing the chickens at home, so she didn't yell at Xu Damao.

"Let's search the yard quickly to see if you ran away. We wanted to keep you alive to nourish your body," Xu Damao instructed Lou Xiao'e.

He Yuzhu listened to the sound of the two people getting closer and closer, and thought that the chicken theft had happened again. This time he didn't take the blame himself. Let's see how the Jia family will deal with it?

"Zhu Zi, my chickens are missing. You came home early from get off work, did you see them?" Xu Damao still came to the door, although not to accuse He Yuzhu of stealing the chickens.

"I arrived a little earlier than you and went straight home, so I didn't see it. But we can guess what happened. If it didn't run away by itself, then it must have been stolen. And it must have been someone in our yard. After all, you live in the backyard and other people can't get in easily," He Yuzhu analyzed to Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao and his wife heard what He Yuzhu said, they thought it made sense, and he might have guessed who it was.

"Zhu Zi, do you know who it is? Let's go and teach him a lesson. How could he steal a chicken?" Lou Xiao'e said from the side.

"Then what are you going to do? I know you are rich and you definitely don't care about this. I'm telling you that if you don't pursue it, I won't have offended you in vain." He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiao'e.

"Let's not go into the details. A chicken costs several pieces. Who has time to stew a chicken these days? And it's an old hen?" Xu Damao was not happy. Although the couple seldom quarreled in the past two years, their values ​​were very problematic and they simply could not get along.

"If we had a bad relationship, would you suspect that I stole it?" He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao calmly.

Xu Damao lowered his head and thought for a while. "If it was before, I would definitely say that you stole it. Who told you to always say that the cook would not be able to harvest the crops if he did not steal them? And you always beat me."

"Da Mao, I know who stole it, but if you go to their house, they will definitely not admit it. You can go find the three uncles and hold a general meeting of all employees, find out who stole it at the meeting, and punish him severely," He Yuzhu gave advice to Xu Damao.

"Okay, I'll go right away. I believe you." After hearing that, he went to find Mediterranean without even looking back, because he knew that the other two masters would not be as effective as Yi Zhonghai.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai thought about it and went to find the second and third uncles. The three of them decided to hold a meeting of the whole hospital.

He Yuzhu did not go over immediately, but prepared the rice in the pot. After all, his sister would be waiting to eat after school. After everything was done, he took some peanuts and melon seeds, and ate while waiting for other people in the courtyard to come to the meeting. After a while, more than 20 families from other families also came to the central courtyard in twos and threes.

It was the same procedure as before. The three judges sat down at the table. Yi Zhonghai was still holding a large teacup and acting sanctimoniously.

He Yuzhu thought, you will find out that it was Banggeng who stole the chicken. What should we do with it?

Siheyuan always started talking with Liu Haizhong because he was obsessed with officials. He stood up and said, "Today I asked you all to come here because Xu Damao's chicken is missing. It's an old hen that lays eggs. If anyone sees it, please tell me. But if anyone steals and eats it, stealing a chicken is a serious crime these days."

After asking for a long time, no one responded. Liu Haizhong felt very embarrassed, so he let an old man speak. After he finished speaking, he sat there angrily.

Yi Zhonghai looked very confusing, with a big square face and a very dignified look. He said, "Second uncle just said that if anyone in the yard touches Xu Damao's chickens, you can return them and he will be forgiven. Otherwise, if you are discovered, the consequences will be very serious."

"It couldn't be that He Yuzhu stole it. I can smell the fragrance coming from his house," Jia Zhang suddenly said.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Jia Zhangshi, "The smell of cooking is the chicken. Besides, Xu Damao didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It can't be Zhuzi. We both came back from get off work at the same time. He didn't even have time to kill the chicken, so how could he have time to stew the chicken?" Xu Damao testified for He Yuzhu.

"But where did my chickens go?" Lou Xiao'e asked?

"Lou Xiao'e, look who is missing from our yard," He Yuzhu reminded Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e looked around and realized, "Aren't all the families here?"

"Uncle, are there any strangers coming in and out of the gate today?" He Yuzhu asked Yan Fugui again.

"Today, right? I stayed at the door all day and didn't see any strangers," replied the third aunt.

"All the adults in our yard have to go to work, and no strangers have ever come here, so it can only be a child," He Yuzhu continued to analyze.
