Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

As he watched their ship sail away, Goldfinger's prompt indicated that the mission was complete, and his agility was temporarily enhanced.

On the 25th day after the Lantern Festival, Zhang Yu returned to Kyoto, returned the car to the factory, and completed the necessary reporting. After resting, he returned to his residence, and now he urgently needed a deep rest.

The current remote errands are not easy, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, food and accommodation are also a problem, and you need to be careful to prevent theft during the journey. Although traveling abroad has lucrative benefits, it also means that you have to endure a lot of fatigue, so factories often arrange a certain amount of vacation to ensure that the returning workers can fully recover.

Zhao Zihao asked Zhang Yu several times about the number of pears left.

After the Spring Festival, the market price of duck pears has stabilized and the demand remains strong.

At this moment, Zhang Yu was so frightened that he dared not sell any more pears.

Just after the New Year's bell rang, thanks to the lucrative profits from selling pears, Zhao Zihao and Niu Meili's attitude towards Zhang Yu clearly warmed up, and they cordially invited him to enjoy a feast of lamb rib hotpot at Donglaishun.

This time, Zhang Yu did not refuse this kind offer.

During the cold winter in Beijing, people's love for hotpot is as fiery as their passion. They gather around the fire and hope for prosperity and abundance in the new year.

Although he also likes hotpot, in terms of taste preference, Zhang Yu prefers light and delicious vegetables, especially the rich and colorful fresh vegetables.

Unfortunately, the era of material scarcity limited his taste, and the only dishes he could enjoy were cabbage, radishes and potatoes. Only mutton became a comfort to his soul.

"All this beauty is thanks to your help. I sincerely express my gratitude to you. I was short-sighted in the past and failed to fully understand your intentions. This is my fault." Niu Meili said seriously.

"Let the past be the past." Zhang Yu glanced at Zhao Zihao's injured finger, raised his glass, and the two drank it all in one gulp as a gesture of greeting.

"A true hero has a broad mind." Zhao Zihao gave a thumbs up and praised Zhang Yu for his broad mind.

In fact, Zhang Yu is not too obsessed with those past controversies. He has already understood the complex relationship entanglements in his experience in the pigeon market.

The connection between them is ultimately a cooperation based on common interests rather than a pure bond of friendship.

After several rounds of drinking, Niu Meili was a little tipsy, but Zhao Zihao remained sober. Zhao Zihao pushed a small cloth bag towards Zhang Yu and asked, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Yu looked at the small package in his hand in confusion, and when he opened it, he was surprised. Those were the two big dragon stamps he got from Niu Meili, exactly the two he was missing.

He placed his right palm lightly on the stamp, turned to look at Zhao Zihao, and asked, "How did you notice my interest in this kind of items?"

Zhao Zihao smiled innocently, "Do you still remember how fascinated you were by that old lady's stamps? Unfortunately, only three of them are left, and there are two missing. I had some connection with them when I was doing the pear business, so I helped you look for them. I didn't expect that I actually found them."

If the perfect "Big Dragon" stamp set is sold, its value may soar to tens of millions. Collecting this series is undoubtedly extremely precious.

"How should this expense be handled?" Zhang Yu asked the question calmly.

Zhao Zihao said with a serious face: "Don't worry about this matter, just take it." He explained that he was the one who funded this banquet, and all past misunderstandings were written off. He hoped that if good things happened, please remember that it was him who paid for it, and all expenses would naturally be borne by him.

Zhao Zihao's eyes met Niu Meili's, and they both had relieved smiles on their faces. The initial goal was to get closer to Zhang Yu to facilitate future cooperation.

Now it is clear that they have achieved their goal.

Zhao Zihao couldn't help but remind him, "After the Spring Festival, unless it is necessary, try to avoid going to the stamp trading market. Even if you go to buy, try to do it within your means. Until the end of April, you need to stay at home for two consecutive months."

In response to Zhang Yu's question, "Do you have any information?" He replied, "Some things are not worth investigating, so I'll keep a low profile recently."

Zhao Zihao and Niu Meili shared a meal. For them, it was not that they did not believe Zhang Yu's words, but they were worried about how to make a living in the next few months. Neither of them had a stable income, and they had no support except the stamp market, so the problem of survival became difficult.

Sensing their concerns, Zhang Yu added: "I'm not asking you to sit idle and do nothing. I'm asking you to hide your whereabouts. Starting from April, you really need to stay at home."

Niu Meili immediately said: "With your extensive network of contacts, we must respect your opinions."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yu suggested: "I still have some local specialties that need to be dealt with. If you help me sell them, I will give you one-third of the profit." This proposal made Zhao Zihao very excited. It meant that Zhang Yu trusted them and could hand over the affairs to him.

Although this can disperse some of the risks and prevent him from getting involved in the disputes in the stamp market, the actual benefits depend on Zhao Zihao's ability to realize them. For financial calculations, this is not necessarily a good thing.

It seems like a failure on the surface, but at this moment when the storm is about to come and the comprehensive liquidation of the stamp market is imminent, the waves of the market have already shown their strength, but in fact it is harbouring a crisis.

After eating shabu-shabu, the three of them left and continued their previous lives. Zhang Yu kept the items as usual, and agreed that Zhao Zihao would settle the accounts after half a month.

During this period, Zhang Yu's life was as peaceful as ever. He went to get off work and came home as usual, dated He Yushui, walked in the park, held hands with her, touched her cheeks, and their feelings grew deeper.

Although He Yuzhu and Teacher Ran repaired their relationship, Ran's father strongly opposed her relationship with the chef, which often caused conflicts between father and daughter.

After the Lunar New Year, the working atmosphere at the steel mill suddenly became tense. Many employees were laid off, and even the factory director was not spared and was frequently criticized by his superiors. On the contrary, the deputy factory director was promoted step by step and seemed to be moving towards leadership.

As April arrived, the pressure on the whole country increased, and Zhang Yu acted more cautiously. Fortunately, his family had always been based on agriculture, and his identity as a worker meant that even if there were difficulties, he would not be greatly affected.

The most pitiful person is Ran Qiuye. As a Chinese who returned to China, he was reportedly fired by the school. Now he is just a cleaner and his situation has fallen to the bottom.

Zhang Yu's wise move at this time was that he suggested to He Yuzhu that he should pay attention to and comfort Ran Qiuye. After all, their original good things seemed to be just around the corner.

After the fight, the Ran couple, as scholars, had become less arrogant and were inevitably a little concerned about He Yuzhu, who seemed rough before. However, He Yuzhu did not mind the past and publicly expressed his intention to marry her. The couple felt much more at ease and began to realize that marrying their daughter Ran Qiuye to He Yuzhu was a wise decision.

With the support of their parents, they decided to keep the wedding planning simple.

However, Yi Zhonghai suggested that He Yuzhu find a partner from an ordinary background. Although he did not say it explicitly, he seemed even less enthusiastic than the old woman.

He Yuzhu was extremely determined to choose Ran Qiuye, and this determination deeply touched her.

As spring heats up, people in Beijing begin to take off their heavy clothes. After completing her studies, He Yushui takes over the accounting job at the timber factory. Meanwhile, Zhang Yu and her marriage are also being prepared in full swing.

After discussing with Zhang Yu, He Yuzhu decided to avoid extravagance during this special time and just have a family dinner to celebrate would be an important ceremony of their marriage.
