Siheyuan: I, He Yuzhu, am proficient in eight cuisines

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and arranged for him to come to the backyard tonight to accompany Lou Xiaoe...

Qin Huairu played late that night and did not return to the Central Courtyard

At the Jia family in the Central Courtyard, Jia Dongxu got up early again. He had a pretty good life recently, and could basically eat white flour buns every day.

Yesterday I made three steamed buns for that ungrateful bastard Banggeng, but he hasn’t come back yet. It’s been two days. Jia Dongxu is a little suspicious. Could it be that this beast has died?

It's just right that he died. He decided not to send steamed bread to Banggeng tonight.

But Jia Dongxu decided to go to Qin Huairu to ask where the ungrateful Banggeng had gone...

I knocked on Qin Huairu's door for a long time, but there was no response from Qin Huairu. Even Xiao Dang was silent.

Jia Dongxu complained: "Where can this unlucky star go so early in the morning?"

Not long after, he happened to meet Qin Huairu walking back from the backyard, holding a note in his hand saying he wanted to change clothes.

Jia Dongxu's face was full of impatience, but his tone was still polite: "Qin Huairu, where have you been so early in the morning?"

Qin Huairu is not someone to be trifled with, and he doesn’t want to cause any trouble…

Qin Huairu said as if it was a matter of course: "I'm going to the backyard to get clothes for Zhuzi to wash. Is there any problem?"

"No...no problem!"

After listening to Qin Huairu's words, Jia Dongxu's attitude improved a lot. After all, Qin Huairu was self-sufficient, which was very beneficial to him. Otherwise, he would have to spend money to support this unlucky person!

Although he had basically no relationship with Qin Huairu now, after all, Qin Huairu was still his nominal wife. If he left her alone, she would starve to death and he might even end up in jail.

"Wash yourself clean, or else you'll get fired..."

Jia Dongxu then asked, "Where's Banggeng? Why haven't I seen him these past two days?"

"He went out!" Qin Huairu said impatiently: "His legs and feet have recovered, and he went to his friend's house..."

She was very tired from playing last night, so early in the morning, she wanted to go back to her room to rest and take a nap...

"Oh, I see..." Jia Dongxu was secretly delighted when he heard this.

It seems that there is really no need to bring food for Bang Geng at night. Bang Geng will not get up early without benefits. His friend’s family should provide food, so he will not starve to death...

He can save some money again, Erguotou is getting closer and closer to him!

Just like that, Jia Dongxu walked out without recognizing any relatives.

In fact, Jia Dongxu's life is pretty good now. Although this cleaner job is low-level, he has a lot of freedom and is rarely supervised. It's not like in the workshop where he would be scolded if he didn't process one or two workpieces.

It's okay that his toilet is not cleaned that well. As long as it's not too bad, no one will complain. A toilet is smelly anyway.

In the morning, Jia Dongxu stood in a row with other cleaners as usual, waiting for the leader to come to the morning meeting.

They have to hold a morning meeting every morning. This is the rule. Actually, there is nothing much to do. It's just to get everyone together and give some commonplace advice.

Soon, their director Liu Guihua came to hold a meeting with them.

The steel mill is a large factory with 10,000 employees. There are many places that need to be cleaned. Liu Guihua has more than ten cleaners.

Jia Dongxu has now changed his usual behavior and stands straight, listening to the leader's teachings.

But his old problem is still there, and he would cough occasionally. Whenever he coughed, the workers next to him would subconsciously move away from him to avoid being infected by him.

The meeting ended quickly. Liu Guihua dismissed everyone but kept Jia Dongxu alone.

"Jia Dongxu, come here!"

Jia Dongxu walked towards the leader swiftly: "Director, are you looking for me?"

Jia Dongxu is still very polite to her immediate boss. You have to go to her to ask for leave.

Liu Guihua spoke with a naturally noble tone: "Jia Dongxu, you have been doing well recently. You haven't asked for leave for several months. You seem to be in good spirits!"

"Hey, Director, I'm completely cured. I feel more energetic now. Ahem..."

Seeing Jia Dongxu coughing, Liu Guihua didn't seem to be disgusted and continued to ask her question: "I remember that you and the cook He Yuzhu are from the same courtyard, right?"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a second, and immediately answered without thinking: "Yes, yes... Director, do you have any instructions?"

Liu Guihua knew some of the grievances between He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu had been beaten by He Yuzhu before, and the relationship between the two was not good.

Liu Guihua didn't hide it anymore and directly stated her purpose: "Help me keep an eye on He Yuzhu at all times. Once you find any clues that he has committed any crime, notify me immediately!"

"this…"

Jia Dongxu was nervous but also happy. Director Liu was going to use him. He Yuzhu was a lawless and domineering man in the courtyard. It would be too easy to collect evidence of his illegal activities.

But He Yuzhu is the leader and a big shot in the hospital, so he just needs someone to take care of him.

Now his immediate superior, Director Liu, wants to punish He Yuzhu, so he can just hand over any evidence.

Even so, Jia Dongxu still pretended to be embarrassed.

His mother, Jia Zhang, often told him that whenever he encountered such a situation, it would definitely be profitable and he should not get too excited.

Seeing Jia Dongxu in a difficult situation, Liu Guihua also offered an olive branch: "I know, this counts as overtime for you, so... I'll ask you to clean two toilets every day, okay?"

"Hey, Director, it's not that I don't want to." Jia Dongxu's face was still embarrassed: "He Yuzhu is a bully in our yard. If I am discovered and collect evidence against him, I will definitely be beaten. I dare not do this!"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Liu Guihua was filled with anger. Didn't this beast just want money? He was really ambitious and dared to ask the leader for money?

"Jia Dongxu, if He Yuzhu dares to hit you, just come and tell me, I promise to put him in jail. Just do your best, and I'll give you two dollars after the success..."

Hearing that there was a huge reward of two yuan, Jia Dongxu was eager to try, but he was not short of money, and he was really not interested in money...

"Director, give me Erguotou, I only want Erguotou..."

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Liu Guihua frowned and said, "Okay, if you can get He Yuzhu removed from his position as canteen director or put him in jail, I'll give you a bottle of Erguotou!"

Liu Guihua resented He Yuzhu because of herself. She wanted to skin him alive. He could still afford a bottle of Erguotou...

"Thank you, Director, thank you, Director. I will definitely get you all the evidence of He Yuzhu's crime!" Jia Dongxu didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Originally, he only wanted half a bottle of Erguotou, but he didn't expect the leader to be so generous!
