Siheyuan: Cooking journey

"Thank you, Auntie."

He Yuzhu thanked him sincerely.

Helping is a favor, not helping is your duty.

Auntie can agree to it.

He was so grateful that he hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Auntie, I see that you don't look well. I happen to know a medicinal dish. If you don't mind, try Xi Tang!"

The year is approaching,

A sigh-worthy incident occurred in the courtyard.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong suddenly had a stroke and fell down.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh, God has opened his eyes.

This guy won’t get better in ten or eight years.

Otherwise, if such a guy were to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, who knows what kind of chaos would happen in the courtyard, not to mention how many innocent people would be implicated.

But what He Yuzhu didn't expect was that not long after, Liu Guangfu, the third son of the Liu family, was fired from the steel mill, sent to the police station, and finally sentenced and sent to prison.

This is really God’s will!

He Yuzhu was curious about what happened, so he went to find Director Yang to find out.

“In the past four years, people have been writing letters to report Liu Guangfu for stealing factory scraps, and the security department has caught him several times;

"Every time Liu Haizhong took him to the factory to get beaten, he would take the initiative to admit his mistakes. Because he was a veteran worker and he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, the factory would just teach him a lesson.

"But he didn't change his bad habits. Some time ago, someone reported him for stealing. The security department searched him when he was leaving the factory and found a lot of scraps and cables."

He Yuzhu listened and felt both strange and curious.

Who is this person? How big a grudge must he have to have persisted in reporting this for four years?

However, He Yuzhu soon lost interest in these matters.

It snowed recently and Mrs. Chako accidentally slipped and fell.

The old man is already in weak health, and if he falls, it could easily lead to big problems.

He Yuzhu went over to help take the patient's pulse, which made him feel a little relieved, but he still prescribed some Chinese medicine to boil.

While the medicine was boiling on the small stove at the door,

Lou Xiao'e came running over and asked anxiously:

"Where's the old lady? Is she okay?"

"It's nothing serious. I'm just lying in bed."

He Yuzhu comforted her softly.

"Uh-huh."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and quickly walked into the house.

inside the house,

The deaf old lady was half leaning on the bed. When she saw her come in, she immediately smiled and said, "Silly girl."

"Humph, you fell down, but you're still so talkative. I've told you so many times not to call me a fool." Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose unhappily, leaned close to her, and asked with concern: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't feel any pain anywhere."

The deaf old lady frowned and looked bitter, as if she had been wronged.

"I'm fine, but the idiot Zhuzi insisted on making me drink Chinese medicine. It's very bitter, and I don't want to drink it."

"Haha, it's better if it's bitter. Who told you to call people stupid all the time?" Lou Xiao'e smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Chinese medicine boiled by that stupid man is not bitter. I drink it every day."

"Why do you take Chinese medicine every day?"

The deaf old lady looked at her curiously.

Lou Xiao'e's face darkened. She had been taking the folk remedy for so long but it had no effect. She said dejectedly, "Old lady, do you think I will be like you, childless for the rest of my life?"

"You stupid moth, you're just talking nonsense."

The deaf old lady held her hand and said cheerfully: "You are a good child, and Shazhu is also a good child. You will definitely have a good child."

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e was amused and felt much better. She blinked and asked with a smile:

"So, will I give birth to a son or a daughter?"

"Um……"

The deaf old lady frowned and thought for a while, her face full of joy:

"You are a fool, you will definitely give birth to a daughter."

"Humph, I'm not a stupid moth."

Lou Xiao'e puffed up her cheeks, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and longing:

"I want to have a daughter. A daughter is a sweet and caring little girl, just like me and my mother. I want to teach her many things, teach her to be a gentle woman, teach her to be a housekeeper, and pass on my feather duster to her. It's just that stupid man who I don't know where he hid my feather blanket."

"Yeah, my daughter is fine too."

The deaf old lady looked kind and squinted her eyes and said:

"A son is like his mother, and gold can build a wall; a daughter is like her father, and silver can fill the streets. Both sons and daughters are good. You can have two and make a 'good' son. You are a good child, and Shazhuzi is also a good child. You will definitely give birth to a good baby."

"I don't have so many children..."

Lou Xiao'e retorted subconsciously, and her expression became gloomy again.

The deaf old lady looked at her, patted her hands, and said gently:

"Don't worry, silly girl. You will definitely have a child. I dreamed yesterday that you gave birth to a daughter. I don't know how happy you must be."

"really?"

Lou Xiao'e was delighted. "What does he look like?"

"Looks like you, a little idiot..."

"That's just nonsense. My daughter will be very smart in the future..."

After the deaf old lady finished drinking the Chinese medicine,

When He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e returned home, they saw a package on the bed.

"Auntie Wu came to see me before. This is a gift from my mother to our family."

Lou Xiao'e sat happily on the bedside, took the package and opened it, unable to hide the pride on her face, "Look, these are all good things. My mother loves me the most. My sisters' families combined don't give me as much as ours."

The opened package was full of gold bars and other things.

He Yuzhu took a look, frowned slightly, and said seriously:

"We, as working class families, shouldn't have these things. Keeping them at home can easily attract trouble and is not safe. It's best to return them or hide them somewhere else. After all, I'm the canteen director, and I can't explain this."

Lou Xiao'e became nervous and no longer felt happy. She said worriedly:

"I shouldn't have taken it. It was given to me by my mother, and it's not right to give it back. I'm afraid she'll think too much. How about we find a place to hide it? How about hiding it in the room we were assigned?"

"The house was lent to Wang Deqing."

He Yuzhu thought about it and made up a reason:

"One day I'll go fishing outside the city, dig a hole and bury it. Bury it deep so no one can find it. I'll use it later."

"Ok."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and asked curiously:

"Is Wang Deqing the guard of Xiaobai's family? Why is he living in our house? Didn't he get a house?"

"We got married last year, but we haven't divided up the house yet..."

He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation.

At that time, housing was in short supply and many people were waiting for housing allocation.

Even if it is a tube-shaped building, I don’t know how long I have to wait before it’s my turn.

The closer the person is, the more inconvenient it is for Lao Zhou to intervene directly, so he asked Director Yang to help find out if there are any vacant rooms in the homes of the factory workers.

Director Yang still remembered the house he was assigned, but he didn't live in it, so he asked someone about the situation.

Since it was empty anyway, I just lent it to Wang Deqing.

Time flies.

The hard-of-hearing old lady isn't a big problem.

After taking Chinese medicine for a few days, I felt completely better.

But after the New Year, we resumed work.

The situation suddenly changed.

In the cafeteria office.

Director Yang looked worried and sighed as he said:

"How did this happen suddenly? The workers are all very emotional and have no concentration on their work. They do nothing at work and won't listen to anything we say.

He Yuzhu glanced at him and sighed secretly in his heart.

Director Yang is a down-to-earth man who focuses on production and is also good in other aspects.

The only thing is that he is always a beat slow in sensing changes in certain things.

In recent years, Director Yang has become a typical figure because of his heating furnace and dough mixer. He has been reported many times and has a well-known name in major factories in the city. He is also well-known in steel mills across the country.
