Siheyuan: Cooking journey

It's really a pity and I will regret it for the rest of my life.

A creak.

The door was pushed open and the second aunt stepped in.

Liu Haizhong said anxiously: "Quick, tell me, tell me, which family is this, is there any problem?"

"What are you talking about?"

The second aunt muttered, "Look at you, just lie down and do your best. What's the point of worrying about those things? What does it have to do with you?"

"You, you, stop talking nonsense..." Liu Haizhong was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"Okay, okay, just say it."

Seeing how anxious he was, the second aunt had to admit it and said, “There’s nothing to do around our yard right now;

"These past few days, morning, noon and night, a group of workers at the steel mill lined up in a long line, singing songs, and always walked around the nearby streets, saying that they were learning something from the 25,000-mile journey. If they encountered any troublemakers, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, they would take them back to the factory:

"I've heard that the steel mills in this area are not easy to mess with, and outsiders don't dare to come. I've heard that other places are not peaceful, but I can't find out about places too far away. Liu Haizhong said angrily: "You, you went out for a walk, and you found out this? There's nothing else!"

"It's nothing, what do you want me to know?"

The second aunt retorted impatiently, thought for a moment, and added:

“There is indeed nothing going on nearby, but there is one incident in our courtyard;

"I heard from Damao's mom that Shazhu's father-in-law and mother-in-law, the famous Lou family, are in trouble now and are staying at the third brother's house temporarily."

"Lou's family?"

Liu Haizhong muttered to himself and asked hurriedly, "Is it the Lou family that opened the iron factory?"

"Who else could there be? The only family with a name and surname in the city is the Lou family."

The second aunt sighed, "I never thought that Lou Xiao'e was actually the daughter of the Lou family. She has been hiding herself for so many years without revealing anything. No wonder her words and deeds don't seem like those of an ordinary young wife. It turns out that she is a lady from a wealthy family."

"The Lou family, the Tu family..."

Liu Haizhong was muttering to himself when suddenly an inspiration struck him and he shouted eagerly:

"Quick, quick, go to the factory and report Sha Zhu. Didn't you say that you saw Lou Xiao'e struggling to carry a large bag home? There must be something wrong with that. Go, report him for having ideological problems, for shielding the Lou family, and for having the same financial problems as the Lou family. Take people to search his house. If you find out, Sha Zhu will be finished..."

"What are you suing for?"

The second aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Shazhu didn't provoke our family, and we don't have any irreconcilable hatred with him. You are in such a state, and you are still thinking about these things. Can't you just calm down?

"Shazhu is now the deputy director. I am planning to ask him for help to transfer the boss who is working outside back."

"You are in this state now, and the second and third brothers are not doing well. The eldest brother is back, so he can at least take care of you."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face turned pale.

“You, you are not allowed to transfer the boss back. Wait, after some time, he will come back by himself;

We are not allowed to ask for help from Shazhu, for we have a deep hatred for him;

"He doesn't respect me. He is an eyesore. I don't like him. This is a great grudge, a great grudge that cannot be resolved. I must bring him down."

The second aunt was speechless. She thought that now that the second child was born, the family would have someone to rely on. The eldest child had a stable job and she didn't know what to do after being transferred back, so she gave up.

"You, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing that she didn't move, Liu Haizhong shouted anxiously: "Go quickly, go and report Sha Zhu..."

"Report what!"

The second aunt glared at him and complained!

"I'm tired of taking care of your food, drink, and toilet all day long. Please stop worrying about it.

“It’s already like this, and you’re still thinking about suing this and that;

"If you file a lawsuit, can you gain merit or something? If you can't do anything, others can still let you become an official.

"From now on, don't expect me to ask you for information, and don't order me around.

“Now you are relying on me, not me on you;

"If you want to file a complaint and offend someone, you should go and file the complaint yourself. I won't go.

"Let me tell you, even if Shazhu steps down, he's still not easy to mess with. He'll have a big grudge against us, and I don't know how he'll take revenge on us. "You're fine, you're half dead now, just close your eyes and enjoy your life. I still want to live a few more years."

After saying that, the second aunt slammed the door and walked out.

"Stupid, stupid."

Liu Haizhong cursed angrily.

Now, at this moment, his only hope is that the second brother Liu Guangtian will be released quickly.

Although the second child is not as good as the eldest child, he is better than the disobedient third child. His strength is that he does not fight back when beaten or retaliate when scolded, and he does whatever he is told to do and is obedient.

By then, he will hit wherever he is told to hit.

Even if I can't move.

Liu Haizhong also firmly believes that with his political acumen and the help of obedient Guang Tian, ​​he can still perform well in the current turbulent situation.

In ancient times, there was Sun Bin, who was disabled but determined. He assisted the State of Qi in achieving hegemony and his reputation will last forever.

Today, there is Liu Haizhong, who is bedridden, but he outsmarts Sha Zhu and becomes famous all over the world.

Just when Liu Hai was intoxicated with himself and his mind was wandering.

Suddenly I felt my trouser legs were wet.

……

After more than half a month of study, the steel plant finally resumed production.

The workers were all in high spirits and worked extremely hard.

He Yuzhu saw this and thought that such large-scale learning should be carried out more often in the future.

Once you are hungry, you will know how good a stable job is.

Only after learning will you understand how hard it is to live a peaceful life and how much more you should cherish it.

As the steel mills resume normal operations.

The canteen also reopened.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e go to and from get off work peacefully every day.

The weather is still bad, with constant wind and rain.

But the steel mill area seems relatively calm.

Mr. and Mrs. Lou lived in the courtyard for a few days and gradually adapted to life there.

With the company of her parents, Lou Xiao'e is in a good mood every day.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

He Yuzhu felt deeply that the person he wanted to protect was by his side.

"Silly big guy, I'm going to the backyard to see my parents."

Another day after get off work, Lou Xiao'e greeted everyone sweetly and walked towards the backyard happily.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile and started preparing dinner.

Mr. and Mrs. Lou, who came from a wealthy family, are not very good at cooking.

He basically prepared three meals a day and either sent them to the backyard or they came to his house to eat.

The former occurs more frequently, while the latter can be counted on one’s fingers.

In the backyard.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e opened the door, she found that her parents had stern faces without a trace of smile, and the deaf old lady had her eyes closed, as if she was taking a nap.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"

Lou Xiao'e was full of doubts and a bit worried, and asked with concern: "Did something happen again?"
