The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

To be able to sit firmly in a factory with 10,000 employees, the director, er... the deputy, even if there is someone behind him supporting him, must have strong skills. At least in terms of public speaking, He Pingan felt that even if he installed a rocket propeller, he could not catch up with Li Huaide. Seeing Li Huaide standing in front of the crowd, giving an impassioned speech in the severe cold, and taking credit for himself without leaving any trace, He Pingan "admired him deeply".

Li Huaide's big pie or chicken blood was successful. The workers of the steel mill embodied the phrase "unity is strength", making it more than just a line of lyrics. It took them less than a day to clean up nearly 300 acres of wasteland.

Looking at Li Huaide showing off to him, He Pingan 'kindly' concealed that the bigwigs were secretly paying attention to the steel mill. As for Li Huaide's promise to the workers that all the food would be used for the steel mill workers, He Pingan didn't care. Anyway, the one percent that belonged to him had to be taken to the public security bureau.

As the Spring Festival approaches, He Pingan is busy again. However, this time it is not because of public security issues, but because he needs to go to Zhaojia Village frequently to observe the growth of mushrooms. Time also passed in He Pingan's busyness until the last day of 1959.

This year's Siheyuan's 30th was much quieter than in previous years. It was understandable, after all, even the most calculating Yan Bugui had stopped. The main reason was that every household had no surplus food, including the He family, and there was no movement. It was useless for him to be calculating. It would be better to save some energy, and maybe he could eat less steamed bread.

That night, everyone in the He family, including the four most noisy little ancestors, were struggling to deal with the pig's trotters in their bowls, and no one spoke.

"Brother, you are a top chef after all, how could you stew pig's trotters like this?" Among the few people, He Ping'an had the best physical fitness and was the first to finish his pig's trotters.

"Your sister-in-law should ask her about this... This is my fault! When we were stewing the pig's trotters, someone came to me for help, but I didn't explain it clearly to your sister-in-law before I left. When I came back, the fire in the stove had gone out. We can't celebrate the New Year at Chen's house, so we can only bring it over like this." The burning gaze that He Daqing felt made him selectively forget that Chen Xueru had forgotten to add fire.

"Dad, if you had something to say earlier, my cooking skills may not be as good as yours, but I can still stew a pig's trotter. Look at this stew. It's a waste of the pig's trotter that my uncle brought!" The married He Yuzhu still didn't know how to read people's expressions. He grabbed the pig's trotter in the bowl with his hands and shook it back and forth, complaining.

"Brother, who is so ignorant of etiquette that he comes to trouble others on New Year's Eve!" He Ping'an looked at He Daqing, whose face turned black, and for the sake of the New Year, he helped his unlucky nephew.

"Lou family! Boss Lou is treating us to a meal today, but something went wrong, so he asked me to go over and help out!" He Daqing also felt that it was not a good idea to take action during the New Year, so he let He Yuzhu go.

"Lou Bancheng?" He Ping'an had never seen Lou Bancheng again since the public-private partnership and almost forgot about this person.

"Yes, it's him. Boss Lou is worthy of being Lou Bancheng. He can still put together a table of Tan family dishes in this day and age. It's really amazing. Alas!" After all, He Daqing has been the canteen director for so many years and has taken many political classes. Naturally, he knows how inappropriate the Lou family's behavior is.

"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, so don't bother with him. But brother, given the current situation, we should stay away from the Lou family and the Lou family in the future!" Since the Lou family invited guests, Xu Fugui's wife Tao Ying must have gone to help. He Ping'an was worried that his brother would make a mistake, so he reminded him with a double meaning.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool! Ping An, Boss Lou has helped us after all. Do you think I should take some time to give him a reminder?" He Daqing naturally heard his brother's digression and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Persuade... forget it! I have already persuaded him last time. Do you think he has changed? He still does what he wants and lives a life of luxury. Don't worry, I have plans for Lou Bancheng!" As early as when He Pingan planned to go south to Hong Kong and Kowloon, he had already made plans for Lou Bancheng. As for what to do specifically, He Pingan has not thought it through. Anyway, get him out first, as a way to repay his kindness.

"By the way, when I was cooking at the Lou family, I heard the Xu family's daughter-in-law took every opportunity to speak well of Xu Damao to Lou Tan. Do you think the Xu family won't really set their sights on Lou Xiao'e?" He Daqing nodded in satisfaction after hearing He Ping'an's assurance, and then talked about the gossip he had overheard.

"The Xu family father and son are greedy for money. From Xu Fugui to his son Xu Damao, every time they go to the countryside to show a movie, they always bring home a lot of things. Especially Xu Damao, he is even worse than his father. Nowadays, the farmers in the countryside have already picked leaves to eat. Do you think he has brought less things when he comes back from the countryside?"

“In the eyes of the father and son, oh no, in the eyes of the three of them, Lou Bancheng is a gold mountain. If they have the chance, they will certainly go and grab a handful. What’s more, when the whole of China is currently starving, Lou Bancheng can still hold a grand banquet. This is a fatal temptation for the three members of the Xu family!” Even if he had not watched the TV series, through his observations over the years, He Ping’an could guess the Xu family’s wishful thinking.

"Xu Damao's grandson is no good. Dad, I think you should warn Boss Lou and tell him to be careful of Xu Damao!" He Yuzhu, who was eating a pig's trotter, suddenly said

"Did Xu Damao provoke you?" Thinking of the entanglement between He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Lou Xiao'e in the TV series, He Ping'an looked at He Yuzhu and asked curiously.

"No, I just can't stand Xu Damao's grandson. I think he is not worthy of Lou Xiao'e!" He Yuzhu answered without thinking.

"If he doesn't deserve it, then you do. Just eat your pig's trotters obediently!" He Daqing glanced at his son and said disdainfully.

"I..." He Yuzhu was about to speak, but was interrupted by the slender jade fingers around his waist.

"Brother, if you can't stand it, you can remind him. Although I don't know much about the Lou family's affairs, I can be sure that Lou Xiao'e's marriage must be the result of Lou Bancheng's careful consideration. If he really marries Lou Xiao'e to Xu Damao, it may be difficult for outsiders to change his mind." Thinking of the decisions made by the Lou family father and daughter in the play, He Ping'an didn't think that a few words from his elder brother could change anything.

"Oh! Why do you want to do that? Lou Bancheng can listen to it or not, as long as we have a clear conscience!" He Daqing waved his hand and said generously

"Hey, big brother, where did you find your teacher? Your realm is improving so fast!" He Pingan was stunned for a moment after hearing what He Daqing said, and joked

"Go away, go away... I can't make any progress?" He Daqing said in anger.

"Your elder brother thinks that he is already a state banquet chef and he has to behave like a chef. 'I have to study harder!'" Chen Xueru, who was standing next to He Daqing, directly exposed his past and then even imitated He Daqing's way of speaking.

"Hahaha!" The whole family burst into laughter, sweeping away the silence that had just occurred.
