Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chapter 164: Aftermath in the Courtyard

Not long after the tea was brewed, Yan Bugui's voice was heard outside the door.

"Secretary Duan, I have called the people over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui took the lead, lifted the door curtain and walked in, followed by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

"Hello, Secretary Duan!"

Duan Gui stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Please take a seat first, three of you."

Since the establishment of the Public Security Committee in the middle of the year, the three of them have actively strived for it. Although they did not become members of the Public Security Committee, they have become activists in the hospital.

He Yuzhu looked at the three people sitting in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these three legendary uncles had really been working hard for many years.

He poured a cup of hot tea for the three of them and then sat aside.

Duan Gui smiled and nodded to He Yuzhu, then looked at the three people in front of him.

"I'm here today mainly to announce something." Duan Gui paused, "Comrade He Yuzhu reported the people who spread rumors about him, and we followed the clues and busted a group of bad elements."

The three people had different expressions when they heard the news.

Liu Haizhong turned his head and glanced at He Yuzhu, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it, and his face turned red with anxiety.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically silent this time. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flashing with an elusive light.

As for Yan Bugui, he was smiling and secretly glad in his heart. After all, his family had a good relationship with the He family, and perhaps he could get some benefits from He Yuzhu in the future.

"The people who spread the rumors can contact these bad guys. You should keep a close eye on your yard in the future to see if there are any fish that slip through the net. Others don't have the time to do this." Duan Gui said bluntly.

Yan Bugui immediately responded, "Secretary Duan, don't worry. This is our duty. I will definitely be vigilant and will never let those bad guys take advantage of me!"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Duan." The other two also echoed.

Duan Gui looked at the three people in front of him, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.

"I didn't call everyone together to talk about this matter today. You just need to observe secretly. There is no need to make people panic." Duan Gui's voice was low and powerful. His eyes swept across the three people, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Hearing this, the three of them nodded, indicating that they understood Duan Gui's meaning.

"Secretary Duan, you have considered everything. We will certainly continue to assist the government in ferreting out these bad elements."

Duan Gui waved his hand with satisfaction: "That's it, everyone go home, it won't delay dinner."

He Yuzhu did not interrupt. When he saw the three people walk out of the living room, he looked at Duan Gui and said, "Brother Duan, why don't you eat here before leaving?"

Duan Gui thought for a moment and shook his head gently: "Forget it. How about we invite Lao Tang to have dinner together tomorrow?"

He Yuzhu's face showed a trace of embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This may cause some conflicts. I plan to go to Qianmen tomorrow."

Duan Gui saw his expression and laughed, "You are a good kid. I will ask Lao Tang to go to Bian Yi Fang tomorrow and you can just come over. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, the worry on He Yuzhu's face immediately disappeared, and he quickly agreed: "Okay, I promise to be there."

"Okay, it's settled." Duan Gui nodded, his eyes full of smiles.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai left He's house, he has been frowning and walking hurriedly towards the east wing.

He was absent-minded the whole way, and kept replaying what had just happened in his mind.

The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was related to the deaf old lady, but what he didn't expect was that He Yuzhu could quickly find the person and report him.

Duan Gui, who came today, obviously came to support He Yuzhu. When did they get in touch?

Yi Zhonghai realized that he should not underestimate He Yuzhu and should not have a direct conflict with him in the future.

"Hey! What's wrong with Old Yi today?" Yan Bugui muttered to himself as he watched Yi Zhonghai leave. He shook his head and walked towards the front yard.

On the other side, Liu Haizhong felt aggrieved when he saw that the two people ignored him. He snorted and turned to walk towards the backyard with an unhappy look on his face.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu looked up at the dark sky, rubbed his cheeks, and muttered to himself: "It looks like it's going to snow heavily."

He walked out of the yard, stepped on the pedal and headed towards the front door.

He Yuzhu braked and stopped outside Chen Xueru's yard gate. He Yuzhu pushed the cart closer and found that the gate was ajar. He smiled knowingly, pushed the door open and walked into the yard.

He parked his bicycle aside, turned around, locked the gate, picked up the cloth bag containing the ingredients, and strode towards the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, He Yuzhu saw Feng Liping busying herself in front of the stove.

"Hey, Aunt Feng, you made the soup in advance today."

Hearing the sound, Feng Liping stopped stirring the soup spoon, turned around, and responded with a smile: "Yes, Xiao He, you are here. Isn't this just in time for use?"

"Okay, Aunt Feng, you've worked hard. You take a rest first, I'll start kneading the dough now." As he said this, he gently placed the cloth bag in his hand on the table.

Feng Liping's face was filled with smiles. She nodded with satisfaction, walked to the counter, and prepared to serve the side dishes that He Yuzhu had brought.

"Xiao He, how did you make these side dishes? I feel like each one has its own unique flavor."

He Yuzhu smiled cheerfully, kneading the dough with his hands. "Auntie Feng, do you want to try pickling it yourself?"

"That's not necessary. Wouldn't it be better for me to eat ready-made food?" Feng Liping replied with a smile. She felt something was wrong after she said it before. This was also a secret recipe and she shouldn't ask about it casually.

"Okay, Aunt Feng, don't worry. I'll bring some over from time to time, and you can just eat it." He Yuzhu couldn't tell her the truth, after all, the ingredients used were unique.

After a while, He Yuzhu rolled the dough into thin sheets and cut it into thin noodles. He skillfully put the noodles into boiling water, cooked them, drained them, and put them into three large bowls.

He sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions in each bowl and drizzled a spoonful of hot oil on it. Immediately, the fragrance of green onions filled the air, making people salivate.

He Yuzhu placed the three bowls of noodles on the table and said to Feng Liping with a smile, "Mother Feng, eat them while they're hot. I'll take them to the living room."

Feng Liping nodded and smiled: "Okay, Xiao He. You can bring it to the lady."

He Yuzhu walked into the living room carrying a bowl of steaming noodles, only to see Chen Xueru already sitting at the dining table, tasting the side dishes with chopsticks.
