Xu Damao, who got the money, was afraid of running into his father, so he left the yard in a hurry. After returning to the factory and paying the money, Xu Damao immediately saw Yu Haitang walking towards him. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "I drove Qin Jingru away, and now there is no woman to take care of the family. This is absolutely not okay. Yesterday I heard that Yu Haitang and Yang Weimin had a tense relationship and were in a stalemate. This is my chance. Once they are alienated, with my eloquent mouth, wouldn't it be easy to chase Haitang?"

Xu Damao seemed very confident about this plan. "Hey, where are you going, beautiful factory girl?" He smiled and went forward to greet her.

"Xu Damao?" Yu Haitang didn't expect that he would be so calm after being punished. He smiled as if nothing had happened. She asked curiously, "You look like nothing has happened. Have you paid the factory fine?"

Considering that this was the location of the Finance Department, Yu Haitang expected him to come here to pay the fine. Hearing her question, Xu Damao smiled and answered affirmatively: "Of course I paid it. Compared with the trivial matters at work, a 300 yuan fine is nothing? As long as I keep my position as a projectionist, the money is easy for me to get."

Yu Haitang was surprised by this statement. 300 yuan is not a small amount for most people, almost equal to her monthly salary. Although she is a popular person in the factory, her actual income is not high.

Hearing this, she smiled doubtfully: "You just like to brag. 300 yuan is not a small amount. It's enough for you to save for more than a year now."

Xu Damao said: "Hey, you are wrong. When did I take salary too seriously? This money is just a small matter to me."

He knew that Yu Haitang was not someone to be trifled with, and that it would be difficult to conquer him if he showed any weakness. Hearing his confidence, he was still skeptical, as projectionist was indeed a popular position in the countryside. As long as there was a mission to go to the countryside, there would always be some small benefits. It was unknown how much.

After the last conversation with Yu Haitang, he got to know her a little bit. At least her life in the factory was quite comfortable. Thinking of this, he felt relieved. "Okay, seeing that you look so energetic, I'm not worried anymore. I'll leave first. See you later!"

Yu Haitang smiled and prepared to leave. Xu Damao knew that things that were rushed would not work. Besides, Yu Haitang was not a country girl like Qin Jingru who could be easily won over with money. When they parted, he said, "Goodbye!"

After that, the two returned to their respective posts. In the afternoon, He Yuzhu asked about the canteen's arrangements and learned that there was no banquet to entertain other leaders, so he left on time. After work, he did not return to the courtyard, but rode his bike to Wang Qian's house.

On the way, he found a deserted place and stuffed 20 kilograms of flour, 50 kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli, four pheasants weighing more than 6 kilograms, two hares weighing more than 5 kilograms, a piece of pork weighing about 20 kilograms, kilograms of Chinese cabbage and two watermelons into the space. After loading everything, he hung them on both sides of the car and continued on his way.

Soon, He Yuzhu arrived at the Wang family courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Qian's mother picking vegetables, apparently preparing to cook.

"Auntie, I'm He Yuzhu, and I'm here to visit you!" He Yuzhu stepped forward to greet them warmly.

Wang Qian's mother looked up and saw that the bags on both sides of his bicycle were full. She immediately put down the unwashed vegetables in her hand and walked forward with a smile: "Zhu Zi, why are you here suddenly? Qian'er will be off work soon. She said this morning that she would go home to visit your dad after get off work, and then come to see you."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu took off the bag and said with a smile, "I think she must be tired from running back and forth, so I came to take a look. These are the ingredients I asked people to prepare. I'll deliver them to you wherever you want to put them."

"These are all the food I brought. Where do you want me to put them? Do you want me to help you move them into the house?" He was imitating the original sentence.

In the courtyard of the Wang family, He Yuzhu was holding two bags. Wang Qian's mother thought they were light and wanted to help. However, the objects were not light. He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Mom, I can lift them. Just tell me where to put them."

Seeing his determination, Wang Qian's mother said nothing more, but walked in front to guide him and let him put the things in the kitchen. The place they lived in was not big, with only two rooms of about 40 square meters, plus a simple kitchen of about 7 or 8 square meters.

After He Yuzhu sorted out the ingredients, he took out a bag full of pheasants and rabbits and said with a smile: "Mom, these are the harvests over the years, two pheasants and two rabbits, all given by friends. I think I can't finish them all by myself, so I just brought them here."

When she heard that these were all good things, Wang Qian's mother said happily: "Oh, we are very happy that you came to see us. There are so many delicacies. Our things are still there. If you go back, take some away. Anyway, Qian'er comes often, and everyone will enjoy the good food."

He Yuzhu, who had known this for a long time, knew that his mother-in-law always felt better and better about her future son-in-law. He knew that Wang Qian's mother was not being false. So he smiled and said, "There are still a lot of things at home. Just prepare them next time Qian comes. In that bag, put 20 kilograms of white flour and 50 kilograms of cornmeal separately. Remember not to let mice touch them. There are also two watermelons on the side, which you can eat when you are thirsty, but you can't eat too much to avoid hurting your stomach. In addition, there are 20 kilograms of Chinese cabbage and 5 kilograms of pork. I will have dinner here tonight. Please allow me to cook by myself and let my uncle and aunt taste my cooking skills."

Hearing that He Yuzhu brought a lot of things, Wang Qian's mother told him to take them back, but when she heard that he was willing to stay here for dinner, she said with joy: "That's great! Qian'er often praises your excellent cooking skills. It's our honor to taste your cooking today. How about we cook together?"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu gladly accepted, and then Wang Qian's mother put on an apron to prevent him from dirtying his clothes. He did not delay, and after putting on the apron, he started to light a fire and boil water. Then he cleaned the chicken and rabbit, and when the hot water boiled, he quickly processed the ingredients, peeled the skin and hair, and used a high fire to singe the hair on the surface of the chicken and rabbit.

Then he cut and seasoned the food, and soon, when the oil was hot, he started to stir-fry. Seeing He Yuzhu busy in the kitchen, Wang Qian's mother was very satisfied, especially after seeing his superb knife skills and cooking skills, she was more certain that he was an ideal son-in-law.

When the first dish of braised rabbit came out of the pot, Wang Qian appeared in front of the door pushing her bicycle. "Qian'er is back." Wang Qian's mother saw her and said softly, "Zhu Zi came here as soon as he got off work and is cooking in the kitchen now!" Hearing this, Wang Qian smiled, quickly parked the bicycle and quietly walked into the kitchen.

She walked behind He Yuzhu, patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, why did you come home so suddenly?" In fact, He Yuzhu happened to see Wang Qian coming back and walking into the kitchen. But he pretended to be surprised and turned around, looking at the smiling Wang Qian, then hugged her gently, and let go after a moment, smiling and asking gently: "Qian'er, you're back?"

Feeling He Yuzhu's feelings for her, Wang Qian nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"The dishes are almost ready, just wait a moment!" he said, concentrating on frying the chicken and frying the pheasant meat with chopped peppers. Then, stir-fried pork with green peppers, tomato and egg soup, and hot pot were also completed one by one. The fragrance was overflowing, attracting inquiries from neighbors.

Although the courtyard is cozy, people do not ask for food from each other, which makes the atmosphere more respectful among family members. He Yuzhu said appreciatively: "Your courtyard is really nice."

Wang Qian agreed with a smile: "That's true." Then, she and He Yuzhu carried the dishes out. When the dishes were served, Wang Qian's mother immediately served the freshly steamed buns and wowotou, and then set the tableware.

She picked up some Chinese cabbage and meat for He Yuzhu, only a little bit, not a full plate: "Zhuzi, you guys eat first, I'll go get your father-in-law ready and then I'll go over."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu reminded: "Auntie, we can't finish this much at once, give some more to uncle."

However, Wang Qian's mother shook her head and said, "He can only eat so much at a time. If he eats too much, he will easily vomit." She got up and took the food into Wang Qian's father's room.

At this time, Wang Qian was holding the Xiaofeng wine that He Yuzhu had bought earlier, with her younger brother and sister following behind her: "Brother Zhuzi, this is my second brother Wang Guobing, third sister Wang Han, fourth brother Wang Guoquan and youngest sister Wang Yu." She introduced them one by one.

After listening to Wang Qian's introduction, the brothers and sisters all greeted her happily: "Hello, big brother-in-law!"

Seeing these four sudden names, Wang Qian's face instantly turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. She tried to ease the atmosphere: "Haha, okay, okay. Guobing, Hanhan, Guoquan and Xiaoyu, we came here in a hurry and didn't have time to buy gifts. Here are five dollars for you, pick whatever you like."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu reached into his pocket and quickly took out four five-yuan notes from his personal storage space and handed them to them. But the four children hesitated after receiving the money and looked at Wang Qian in confusion for her advice.

Before the children could ask, Wang Qian's mother had heard their conversation in the inner room and came out to tell them: "Children, you can't accept money from your eldest brother-in-law. His income is hard-earned. Now return the money to him, and I will give each of you 20 cents for pocket money."

After listening to this, the fourth brother's wife pursed her lips and understood what she should do.

Obviously, these children were well educated. Although they were reluctant to give up, they understood the importance of rules. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Auntie, let my brothers and sisters take the money. I came in a hurry this time and forgot to prepare gifts for them. This money is a gift for our first meeting."

Besides, I have just been promoted to deputy director of the canteen, and I receive the salary of a second-level cook, which is 76 yuan per month. You don't have to worry about my lack of money. "When he mentioned his higher salary, Wang Qian's mother was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute, so He Yuzhu quickly winked at Wang Qian.
