Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

Before the meal, Yang Jun and Yang Mei offered Yang Gui a stick of incense and reported to their parents that they had started a family and would have a better future. They would take care of their younger brothers and sisters. However, Wang Yuying interrupted the process when she saw that the happy scene had become depressing: "Let's eat quickly."

Helplessly, the two could only smile bitterly and walk to the dining table. There were more than ten families present today, and the eight-person table alone could not accommodate them, so they had to share some dishes. The boys gathered at Yangmei's table, toasted and drank together, and talked about the joy of family.

The dinner was held in a harmonious atmosphere and lasted for more than an hour.

After dinner, Yang Jun did not rush home, but took out a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket and left the house. Seeing that everyone in the courtyard had worked hard all day, as the host, he had not yet expressed his gratitude to them. He first went to the home of his second uncle Liu Haizhong.

The second uncle's family welcomed him wholeheartedly and let him sit in the first seat. "Second uncle, my sister is very happy today, but I am so busy. Thanks to your second uncle and third uncle for helping me, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Yang Jun said.

"Junzi, why are you saying these polite words? If you hadn't helped me find a job for my son Guangqi, I wouldn't have had the chance to thank you properly. Besides, if I, the elder of the Second Hospital, don't help, who else will?" Since Yang Jun came, the second uncle seemed to be much more friendly than before about the changes in the hospital. He participated more actively in the affairs of the hospital and had expectations and appreciation for Yang Jun.

Before, the second uncle helped Liu Guangqi find an apprenticeship position, and he was very grateful. Now he not only sincerely helped, but also took the initiative to support the Yang family, especially in matters in the courtyard. Although Yang Jun knew that the other party had some intentions, it did not affect his choice to trust the goodwill of his relatives.

"Second uncle, speaking of Guangqi's work problems, there is actually one more thing I need your help with." Yang Jun said.

"Don't talk about troubles, just tell me what you want to say," the second uncle responded immediately, raising his eyebrows and agreeing.

"Uncle, this is what happened..." Yang Jun calmed down and told the details of Guo Tianming's internship, and hoped that his uncle would personally guide him for a period of time. Of course, Yang Jun did not mention Guo Tianming's true identity, but only treated him as a distant relative.

"No problem, just ask Guo Tianming to find me. Don't worry, Junzi, I will teach him carefully without reservation." Yang Jun smiled and said, "Uncle, don't take it too seriously. What I mean is that learning technology is secondary. The most important thing is for you to keep an eye on him and prevent any trouble."

The second uncle listened for a moment and then reacted: "Then why don't you just transfer him to the office?"

The second uncle suddenly realized what was going on. Since Guo Tianming was only with Yang Jun temporarily, it was not necessary for him to learn technology. Sooner or later, he would have to return to his office role.

Yang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "That's what the elders in my family arranged, so I have no choice but to follow their instructions." Second Uncle Liu Haizhong nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it enough to just be responsible for supervision? Technical teaching is not urgent?" Yang Jun replied, "Yes, the key is supervision. As for the technology... just teach it appropriately."

He imagined that Guo Tianming was still immersed in the excitement of his new job. He probably would never have dreamed that his father would let him start an internship as a blacksmith. If he knew that he would be asked to move a sledgehammer, it would be hard to predict what kind of expression he would show.

However, the leader's decision also made sense. This kid was about to become a troublemaker. After the school was suspended, he and the other kids in the compound were causing trouble all day long. This would make him start from the most basic level, perhaps to strengthen his will.

However, Yang Jun was very worried. Could that guy withstand such a test? The sledgehammer worker was not something that those who had everything handed to them could easily handle. If he really lost his temper, it would definitely be a big surprise.

After saying goodbye to his second uncle, Yang Jun went to visit the third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui. The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries when they first met, and then Yang Jun left quickly after leaving two bags of Daqianmen. He knew it was not advisable to stay for long, because as long as he sat for a while, he would be eager to ask about Yan Jiefang's work.

On the way out of the Third Uncle's house, he stopped by the Central Courtyard.

Seeing that the light was on at Sha Zhu's house, Yang Jun went up to knock on the door and walked in. "Hey, Junzi, come in." Sha Zhu, who was washing Ran Qiuye's feet, stood up a little embarrassedly when he saw Yang Jun. Yang Jun found it funny to see him being evasive, because he knew that Sha Zhu would have a tendency to be a dog when facing beautiful women, especially for Ran Qiuye, and his bottom line seemed to be relaxed at any time.

He was so attentive to Ran Qiuye not long after she became pregnant. I couldn't imagine that the child would be treated as a treasure after he was born.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are good at washing feet now, even though you used to cook." He smiled at Ran Qiuye and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Zhuzi is very considerate and caring."

Ran Qiuye, who was already delicate, blushed even more after being praised by him, and quickly picked up the foot cloth to wipe her feet. Seeing this, Sha Zhu wanted to pour out the water, but he looked at Yang Jun and put it down again, saying in a reproachful manner: "From now on, you have to bring your own foot washing water, do you hear me?" Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes and took the water away in shame.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jun secretly laughed: "Okay, Brother Zhuzi, don't pretend, I know your character very well." Sha Zhu touched his head awkwardly and smiled: "Actually, Junzi, you know, I'm going to be a father soon, and I'm really excited inside."

Yang Jun smiled and nodded to show that he understood. At the age of 30, being a father for the first time, Sha Zhu couldn't find the right way to express his gratitude to Ran Qiuye. In the past years, he poured all his emotions into Qin Huairu, but all he got was a love affair and an empty wallet. Now he was left with nothing.

"He married a virtuous wife like Ran Qiuye, who was not only beautiful in appearance but also kind-hearted. Most importantly, she gave birth to his children, so he respected Ran Qiuye very much."

"Brother Zhu, you've been so busy these past two days, you must be exhausted, right?"

Yang Jun took out two packs of cigarettes and threw them in front of him.

Considering that Sha Zhu took two days off to come and help, and prepared more than a dozen tables to entertain the guests, these efforts are a courtesy response that cannot be ignored.

"Hey, why should I be polite to you? Your business is also my business."

Sha Zhu was not pretentious. He opened one of the packs, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Jun, who took it and put it in the pocket behind his ear to show his acceptance.

Ran Qiuye was pregnant, so Yang Jun didn't dare to smoke in the room so as not to disturb her comfortable environment. This was also the most considerate etiquette for him.

After Ran Qiuye finished her housework and went out, she sat beside Sha Zhu and listened quietly to their conversation.

Noticing her youthful and maternal new temperament, Yang Jun glanced at her. Although she had no visible belly at the moment, she still had the innocence that had not been polished by the years, but the nourishment of love made her more feminine.

"Your wife is pregnant, which is a happy event. You can't let him work too hard. He needs to share more of the household chores," Yang Jun instructed Sha Zhu.

However, Yang Jun had no worries about whether Sha Zhu was taking good care of Ran Qiuye. His character destined him to obey his wife's orders.

"Hey, thank you Junzi for your concern. Although this is my first time being a father, I'm as good as anyone in taking care of people," Sha Zhu said proudly. The frivolity in his words made Yang Jun roll his eyes.

Yang Jun thought, did you learn this when you were taking care of Qin Huairu's family? He recalled how miserable He Yushui was when you served her.

Not noticing Yang Jun's attitude, Sha Zhu continued to brag:

"Xu Damao is obsessed with his son. Now that his wife is gone, his son's whereabouts are erratic."

When he mentioned his son, he immediately thought of the man who had always been at odds with him - Xu Damao. The two of them were born to be characters who would not give in to each other.

Now, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e have divorced, and his son's whereabouts are unknown.

When Yang Jun heard the name "Xu Damao", he seemed to remember something.

"Xu Damao has been behaving fairly well recently, right?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he became furious and slapped the table.

"Don't mention this guy. I taught him a lesson last night."

Sha Zhu pointed at Ding Qiunan's house and said to Yang Jun, "Junzi, what bad things did they do?", inquiring about his reasoning ability.

Yang Jun was puzzled: "What happened?"

"This guy..." Sha Zhu originally raised his voice, but then lowered it, "He tried to harass Section Chief Ding last night. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, just think about it."

Hearing this, Yang Jun's face turned serious, and he understood in his heart: As expected, Xu Damao's target was indeed Ding Qiunan.

Given Section Chief Ding's docile nature, once he falls into the clutches of a man like Xu Damao, it would be difficult for him to escape his deceptive control.

"Brother Zhu..." Just as Ding Qiunan was about to remind him, Xu Damao's voice came from inside the door.

"Chief Ding, a fellow villager gave me a local chicken, which I stewed to nourish my body," said Xu Damao.

Ding Qiunan did not respond to the door but said through the door:

"Thank you for your kindness, Xu Damao, but I implore you not to bother me again in the future."

"Oh, I've been stewing it for several hours. You can always try a little, okay?" Xu Damao persuaded persistently.

At this time, Ding Qiunan was embarrassed and speechless.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao and stuck out his chin towards Yang Jun, as if to say, look at what you have done.

Regarding this situation, Yang Jun sneered, his face gloomy, and walked straight out of the door and asked:

"Xu Damao, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Just send chicken soup, why bring wine?"

Xu Damao hurriedly explained: "I... nowadays, cadres and workers are encouraged to care for each other like family members. I wanted to take this opportunity to improve my relationship with Section Chief Ding."

Haha, no wonder Shazhu calls you Sun Zei.

How can you say such nonsense?

“Oh, it’s to keep in touch?”

Yang Jun walked over, took the large porcelain bowl filled with chicken soup from his hand, turned around and handed it to Sha Zhu and said, "I am also a cadre, come, let's talk."

Xu Damao: (helpless silence)

At this time, the door was gently opened, and Ding Qiunan appeared and thanked him:

"Thank you, Director Yang."

Yang Jun waved his hand and responded: "Okay, Dr. Ding, you should go back and rest quickly. I want to talk to Xu Damao about relationship issues alone." Without waiting for Ding Qiunan to answer, he winked at Sha Zhu and left.

"Uncle, wait for me, there is still wine."

Xu Damao caught up and shouted.

As soon as I entered the door, Sha Zhu stopped me at the door and said:

"Sun thief, this is my home, you are not welcome to visit."

Xu Damao opened his eyes slightly and said in a high-spirited tone, "Silly Zhu, stop messing around. I'm just trying to build a relationship with you. What does it have to do with you?"

Sha Zhu shrugged and retorted: "You bastard, you're here again? Why do you care about this man? I have the final say here." Then he lifted up the sleeves of his clothes again.

“But the chicken soup belongs to me.”

“Chicken soup? What chicken soup? Did I give it to you?”

Sha Zhu's look of dissatisfaction left Xu Damao speechless. In fact, the chicken soup was given to him by Yang Jun, so how could he ask Yang Jun for it back?

Xu Damao secretly glanced at Yang Jun, and saw that Yang Jun was half lying in Sha Zhu's room, and had no intention of letting him in. Therefore, he pointed at Sha Zhu and threatened:

"Wait, idiot, wait for me first."

After saying this, Xu Damao was about to leave, but Yang Jun stopped him: "Wait."

Yang Jun took a step closer and looked at Xu Damao seriously: "Damo, stay away from Dr. Ding from now on and don't let her get into trouble again. If I hear any gossip about you, I will not show mercy."

His words revealed a cold and resolute tone. Although he did not specify what action he would take next, Xu Damao felt a deep warning from his eyes. He knew that if he pestered Yang Jun again, Yang Jun might actually take actual action to retaliate.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I won't bother you again." Xu Damao saw Yang Jun's attitude and immediately understood everything.

Doctor Ding has outstanding looks, superb skills, and is a cadre, so naturally he has no shortage of suitors. Now Yang Jun is protecting her at every step, and it is obvious that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, so he speculates that the two have been close for a long time, otherwise Yang Jun would not be so harsh to him.

Xu Damao put his treasured wine on the ground with an apologetic smile and whispered: "Enjoy it slowly..." Then he left quickly.

Hearing the " " behind him, Sha Zhu spat at his back and picked up the wine bottle: "This guy actually knows how to appreciate fine wine." Then he sighed about the fine wine.

Back in the room, Sha Zhu took out two cups and placed them in front of Yang Jun. Yang Jun stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry. I just had a meal and my mind is not clear yet. I just drank a little bit and I feel dizzy, and my stomach is not feeling well."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu put the cork on the bottle and put it aside, turning his eyes to the chicken soup: "After dinner, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink this chicken soup."
