Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

"Introduce a girlfriend to 'Shazhu'?" Yan Bugui smiled, and looking at the girl standing behind Director Wang, he couldn't help laughing.

The girl was not very old, about 22 or 23 years old, but she was stout, dark-skinned, and weighed at least 150 kilograms. In an era of food scarcity, it was a miracle that she could maintain such a plump figure.

"Juanzi, come here and meet Uncle Yan, Master Yan. He is Uncle Yan."

Huang Juan hurried over and called him Third Uncle. Yan Bugui seriously corrected her, "It should be Second Uncle. Just call me Second Uncle from now on."

Director Wang didn't say anything and continued to walk into the yard with Huang Juan.

Today is Sunday, and it is finally Ye Chuan's turn to rest. He holds his daughter and takes a leisurely walk in the yard. Qin Huairu sits at the door picking vegetables, and Xiaodang sits beside her obediently.

"Director Ye, are you taking a day off today?" Director Wang greeted Ye Chuan with a smile when he saw him.

"Auntie Wang, don't be so polite. Just call me Xiao Ye." Ye Chuan said with a smile.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Xiaoye in the hospital." Director Wang was all smiles, feeling deeply moved.

Back then, she brought Ye Chuan to work at the business point of the material recycling company. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the other party had reached the treatment level of a 17th-level cadre, while now she can only look up to him.

"Auntie Wang, what is this?" Ye Chuan looked at the fat girl in front of him with a puzzled look.

"This is the person I'm introducing to you. Her name is Huang Juan. Juan'er, this is Director Ye from the Commercial Department. Come over and say hello."

"Hello, Director Ye." Although Huang Juan has a plump figure, she is still a little girl after all, and there is some shyness on her face.

Ye Chuan nodded as a greeting, then chatted with Director Wang for a few words, and the latter went in the direction of the deaf old lady's house.

Seeing the backs of the two, Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh. I don't know if Director Wang did it on purpose to find such a 150-pound girl for Sha Zhu to date. Sha Zhu always hangs around beautiful widows, so how could he be interested in this girl? Even if he thinks that Sha Zhu may not be worthy of this girl, at least normal aesthetic judgment will not make people think that he would be interested in such a person.

He picked up his daughter and walked towards home, but before entering, he glanced at Qin Huairu at the door.

Qin Huairu was too busy to do anything at this time. She noticed that Sha Zhu was carrying some fresh food towards the deaf old lady's house this morning, and she originally thought that he was just cooking for the old lady.

But what I didn't expect was that Sha Zhu actually had a blind date today. If he succeeded, it would be impossible to borrow money in the future, and there would probably be no leftovers. Looking at the girl's figure, the leftover food was not enough to feed her alone. If Xiao Dang and I wanted to have a good meal in the future, we would have to pay for it out of our own pockets.

At this time, Director Wang brought Huang Juan to the deaf old lady's home and immediately saw Sha Zhu busy cooking there. "Juan'er, this is He Yuzhu, he is the chef of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and the dishes he cooks are delicious!" Although Sha Zhu looked old, he had a good job, which made Huang Juan very satisfied. During this period, except for civil servants, the most sought-after profession was chef - it meant that he could save himself and his family from hunger.

"Although he looks a little old, everything else is nice," said Huang Juan.

"Very good!" Director Wang said with a smile. He chose to introduce Huang Juan because they used to live in the same courtyard. This girl is very outstanding in every aspect except that she is a little fat and has an ordinary face - a woman who is very suitable for managing a family. It's just because of her appearance that every blind date she goes on is unsatisfactory. Others have entered the marriage palace in their 20s, but she is still single.

Sha Zhu, who was busy, noticed the two and almost fell down when he saw them. He tried to adjust his mood and told himself: This might not be the one assigned to him, or maybe his assigned partner hasn't come yet. He wiped his hands on his apron, walked over, and said with a smile: "Director Wang, you're here really early? Didn't you say you'd introduce me to a partner? Where is she?"

However, Director Wang said in surprise: "Isn't there already someone beside me? Can't you see it?"

After hearing what Director Wang said, Sha Zhu was stunned and felt heavy-hearted.

Director Wang came forward, pulled Huang Juan from behind to the front, and said to Sha Zhu, "He Yuzhu, this is Huang Juan, who works at the fertilizer factory. Don't look at her young age, she is already a Grade 2 worker, and in another year she will be a Grade 3 worker!"

Before Sha Zhu could reply, the deaf old lady came out of the house with a cane. "Xiao Wang is here! Come in and sit down. It's very cold outside."

"Grandma, I have brought Huang Juan here. She is 23 years old and works as a second-level worker in the fertilizer factory."

The deaf old lady was slightly startled when she saw Huang Juan. She didn't expect that the sturdy girl in front of her was the one she was going to introduce to Sha Zhu. However, she was quite satisfied when she learned that she was only 23 years old and a second-level worker. "Hello, old lady." Huang Juan immediately went forward to greet her. She had heard Director Wang's story about the old lady earlier, and knew that the old lady had a high status in the hospital and was respected like an elder.

When they walked into the room, Director Wang supported the deaf old lady and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this girl is a bit burly, but she is definitely a down-to-earth person. It is a great fortune for her to marry He Yuzhu. She has a good salary, is not afraid of hard work, and is friendly."

"Well, I think it's good!" The deaf old lady agreed with Director Wang's statement. Beauty is pleasing, but what's the point of Qin Huairu being pretty? She only makes that much money a month, even with subsidies. If she hadn't relied on Sha Zhu's help in the past few years, she would have starved long ago. This girl named Huang Juan looks like she is the type who can reproduce. I hope she can give birth to a few chubby boys in the future, so that the He family can continue to have descendants.

At this moment, Sha Zhu who was standing outside the door was completely dumbfounded. He didn't care whether the girl was pretty or not, but at least she had to be attractive to him.

However, this female companion looked to weigh at least 150 pounds, while he weighed only a little over 100 pounds, and he was afraid that he would be crushed.

I was no longer in the mood to cook, so I just dealt with the leftover ingredients.

The deaf old lady, Director Wang and Huang Juan were chatting about family matters. Through the conversation, the deaf old lady was very impressed with Huang Juan. It was obvious that she was a woman who had experienced a hard life since childhood and would definitely be diligent in managing the household in the future.

Sha Zhu felt unhappy the whole time. He was not willing to accept Huang Juan at all, but he had to serve the prepared dishes.

He personally brought the dishes to the table. Seeing this, Huang Juan quickly stood up and wanted to help, but she was too embarrassed to talk to Sha Zhu, so she silently picked up the dishes and put them on the table.

Sha Zhu didn't want to communicate with Huang Juan at all. Seeing her strong body and slightly dark face, he lost interest.

"Come on, come on, let's eat first and chat while we eat. Although my grandson doesn't have any outstanding performance, his cooking skills are really first-class, and the taste is really great!" The deaf old lady greeted everyone with her crutches. Director Wang smiled and agreed, and casually invited Huang Juan to sit down with him.

Huang Juan took a bite of the dish and her eyes lit up: the food cooked by this Sha Zhu is simply more delicious than any food in any restaurant.

At this moment, Qin Huairu had finished lunch at home with Xiaodang, but she did not smile at all. In the past two years, she was with Shazhu not because she liked him, but because she relied on him. Without Shazhu, she might not even be able to leave the house. Although there are aunties who occasionally help her take care of Xiaodang, they do not give her a friendly smile.

After living in the same courtyard for several years, she had very few opportunities to meet Huaihua. Although Shazhu was a bit stupid, he was really kind to her and her daughter. If Shazhu really got married, he might not be able to take care of them anymore.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but look towards the backyard, wondering how she could make this marriage fall through.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Dang asked curiously, shaking her hand. "I'm worried!"

"Mom, is it because of Uncle Sha? This morning I saw Sha Zhu bought so many delicious foods and didn't share any with us."

Qin Huairu looked at Xiaodang, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she whispered something in her daughter's ear. Xiaodang was already nine years old at this time. After hearing her mother's words, she hesitated and said timidly: "Mom, will this make silly uncle angry?"

"Do you want your silly uncle to come back, or do you want to continue to starve?"

Xiao Dang thought about it and said helplessly: "Then let's make silly uncle angry first."

Qin Huairu then smiled, patted Xiaodang gently, and encouraged him, "Go ahead, listen to me."

At this moment, the deaf old lady had not yet realized that Qin Huairu was planning to disrupt her grandson's blind date. The old lady looked at Sha Zhu, then glanced at Huang Juan, and found that the latter was not as ugly as before, but rather felt a little pleasing to the eye. What's wrong with being strong? After all, beauty can't fill your stomach, and living a down-to-earth life is the most important thing. Having children is the foundation of their lives.

During the whole dinner, Sha Zhu barely said a word, just focused on eating. Huang Juan stole a glance at him, and when she saw that he didn't smile at all, she realized that he wasn't attracted to her.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the four saw a cute little girl walking into the room. Although her face was dirty, she was still pretty.

"Xiaodang?" Sha Zhu asked in surprise.

Xiao Dang did not enter the house, but stood at the door, looking at the four people in the house anxiously, and then said, "Dad, when will you come home?"

dad?

Everyone was stunned. Director Wang and Huang Juan exchanged glances, and the former's expression changed from surprise to anger.

Seeing that Shazhu remained silent, Xiaodang called out again, "Dad."
