Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Propaganda Department Office.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

Hearing the bell ringing outside, Ye Wenwu and Xu Ying smiled at each other.

The two chatted in the office for the entire morning. There were only five of them in the Propaganda Department throughout the morning, and the other four did not come to the office at all.

"Let's go, it's time to get off work. It's not too much for me, the apprentice, to treat the master to lunch in the cafeteria!"

Ye Wenwu stood up, extended his hand and said invitingly.

"Humph, how can you invite your own master to dinner in the cafeteria? How stingy."

Although Xu Ying said this, she still cleaned up quickly.

"Forget it. I'm in a good mood today and I'll just agree to it."

"Well, actually someone doesn't need to force himself."

Ye Wenwu directly retorted.

"None of your business, you big pig's hoof."

Afterwards, Xu Ying took her shoulder bag and walked forward. Ye Wenwu shook his head as he watched. It was impossible to be a bootlicker, not in this life.

His dream in this life was to marry a somewhat virtuous wife, live a peaceful and stable life, and then have a few fat boys or girls.

As for making a fuss, there will be a big storm in a few years, and it will be a waste of effort no matter how much you make trouble.

Some people say that after the storm is over, it will be the golden age. By that time, you will be in your thirties or forties, and have long passed the age of impulsiveness. It will be enough for the whole family to be happy and well-fed. After all, all the trouble is for the happiness of the whole family and for them to have enough food and drink.

"You said you were treating me, why don't you leave?"

Xu Ying walked out of the office and saw that Ye Wenwu did not follow her, so she shouted angrily.

Only then did Ye Wenwu realize that while he was stunned, Miss Xu had already walked out of the office and was looking at him angrily.

"I'm coming, why are you rushing me? What's the matter? Have you never had a meal in your life?"

Ye Wenwu caught up and said jokingly.

"I will never have enough food to eat in my lifetime, so what?"

Xu Ying is now familiar with Ye Wenwu's argumentative nature and said with pride.

Ye Wenwu could only give a thumbs up. He didn't expect that this little girl, who was very slow at learning other things, could master this thing immediately. At the beginning of the morning, she was still struggling with him, leaving him speechless. But later on, she could actually compete with him.

"Let's go quickly. We need to go to the third cafeteria to eat. If we go too late, there will be no food. I can't get used to eating in other cafeterias."

Ye Wenwu nodded behind him. The reason why the Third Canteen was chosen was because it had Sha Zhu as the head chef, and Sha Zhu’s cooking skills were indeed very good. The most important point was that the prices in the Third Canteen were the same as in the other canteens. Since the prices were the same, why not eat better?

Generally speaking, workshop 3 is farther away than the office, so Ye Wenwu is not worried about missing out on food.

As soon as they entered, there were seven or eight lines lined up. Ye Wenwu and Xu Ying randomly chose a line and lined up.

In the kitchen of the third canteen,

Sha Zhu was observing the people queuing in the cafeteria. They had discussed it for the whole night last night and decided that they should expel Ye Wenwu. They absolutely could not let this troublemaker stay in the Red Star Siheyuan, otherwise the Red Star Siheyuan would be in chaos. It would be easier to manage if everyone followed suit.

Moreover, last night an old man named Yi Zhonghai told Sha Zhu that Ye Wenwu and the others had already started working yesterday morning. The reason why he came back from get off work so late last night was because he wanted to find out which department Ye Wenwu and the others worked in?

When Uncle Yi Zhonghai told him that Ye Wenwu went to the Propaganda Department yesterday, Sha Zhu came here with some plans in mind.

Although Sha Zhu was somewhat surprised that Ye Wenwu would be assigned to work in the Propaganda Department, he did not care.

Moreover, the Propaganda Department is on the first floor of the office, which is relatively close to the third canteen. Most people in the office building usually go to the third canteen for their meals, while some people go out to eat or bring their own meals from home.

Especially since Sha Zhu believed in his cooking skills, Ye Wenwu had no choice but to come here to eat. He still remembered that yesterday Ye Wenwu and his two brothers teamed up to deal with him, making him lose face.

Then when he returns to his home court, he must teach Ye Wenwu a lesson and let him know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

Suddenly Sha Zhu saw Ye Wenwu and a very beautiful girl in front of him. The two were talking and laughing, and it was obvious that they had a special relationship.

I don’t know why, but I felt a little jealous when I saw Ye Wenwu chatting so happily with a girl who was prettier than my sister Qin.

Thinking about how he was the chef of the Red Star Steel Mill, and how he was the chef when the factory director and his colleagues entertained other leaders, and how long had Ye Wenwu been here to destroy the steel mill? He hooked up with a beautiful girl, and on what basis?

The team soon lined up in front of Ye Wenwu and his group, and Ruo also hurriedly walked out from the back.

"Xiao He, take a break first, let me fight a few waves."

Xiao He looked at Sha Zhu in front of him with a confused face. After Sha Zhu snatched the spoon from his hand, Xiao He walked towards the kitchen in confusion.

What happened to this silly Zhu today? He came here to get food even though he was full. I have never seen him so diligent before.

"Hello, I want this, this, this, this."

When it was Xu Ying's turn, she quickly ordered from the dishes in front of her. After all, she was not spending any money today and it was free, so she did not feel sad at all.

Ye Wenwu also saw Sha Zhu, especially Sha Zhu's meaningful look. Although Ye Wenwu did not observe carefully, he was sure that the person who just served the food was not caught. It seemed that Sha Zhu came here to target him.

Sha Zhu's entire attention is now on Ye Wenwu. Xu Ying was a little angry when she saw that the chef in front of her did not serve the dishes she ordered but just stared blankly at the back. She patted the table in front of her.

"Hey, are you still going to play?"

Sha Zhu finally came back to his senses and looked at Xu Ying. He was still stunned at first, thinking that since this girl was so close to Ye Wenwu, he might as well take revenge on her. But he didn't expect that this girl was so beautiful, and his desire for revenge faded all of a sudden.

Looking at Xu Ying who was pointing at the dish in front of him again, Sha Zhu was a little stunned and blurted out:

"Comrade, can you finish all these dishes? Even two people may not be able to finish them all. Isn't this a bit wasteful?"

Ye Wenwu was also laughing behind her, thinking that she could make him feel distressed just by doing this. She was really a silly girl, so silly but cute.
