Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Hearing such good news, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were very excited.

"But remember one thing."

Zhang Hui warned them solemnly:

"If this matter is discovered, the impact will be huge. I am from Hong Kong, so it doesn't matter. At most I will be deported. But it's different for you. If you are caught, you will be imprisoned for decades. You must be careful when arresting people. You can only find relatives, friends or people you can trust."

When I heard the consequences were so serious,

Liu Guangtian immediately turned pale with fright.

Liu Guangfu was also a little scared, but he was much calmer and asked worriedly:

"Brother Zhang, the consequences of this incident are so serious, how can we reach Xiangdao safely?"

"Don't worry."

Zhang Hui said confidently, "We will take a boat and board the ship in Tianjin. There will be many Hong Kong workers returning to Hong Kong at that time. You can blend in with them and no one will notice you."

"As long as you don't reveal yourself, there will be absolutely no problem."

That's good.

The two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian looked at each other and felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhang Hui looked at them, afraid that if he said something too scary, they would not dare to pull anyone in, so he reminded them:

"When you go looking for people, be careful. If they are not your own people, don't mention this matter. It is best for your family to go together. This way it is safer and you don't have to worry about them reporting each other. When you get there, young people can go to work on the construction site, and the older ones can pretend to be beggars and beg for food. Maybe you can earn more than working..."

I can earn a thousand yuan a day.

After hearing what Zhang Hui said, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

There just happened to be a very suitable candidate.

Pretending to be a beggar and begging for food is simply the most appropriate thing to do.

Seeing that the two had fallen for it, Zhang Hui secretly laughed in his heart and deliberately asked:

"Why has Yan Jiefang disappeared recently? I wanted to talk to him."

"We don't know where he is."

Liu Guangtian had a simple mind and said directly: "Xu Damao came to see him that day, but he never showed up again."

Xu Damao!

Zhang Hui's heart moved, and he pretended to be curious and asked, "Who is this Xu Damao?"

"We are neighbors in our courtyard, and we usually have a good relationship."

Liu Guangtian explained.

"Oh……"

Zhang Hui nodded as if he didn't care, and then continued to suggest:

"If you have trustworthy people, you can ask them to come to Hong Kong Island to make money. The more people there are, the better it will be for us.

"In order to attract more people, it's better not to tell the truth first. Just say that you know a friend in Hong Kong, and invite us to go there for a few days, with food and accommodation all included, and we can also take a boat back. That route has a cooperative relationship with the steel plant, and it goes back and forth several times a month, so there will be no problem;

Don't feel any psychological burden for doing this, it's a white lie, it's for their own good. When there's money to be made over there, they'll be grateful to you."

"Of course, doing good things also has its rewards. They make money, and it's not bad for us to get a little money from them."

"If you recruit ten people, you can earn four or five hundred yuan a month without doing anything."

Just think about how wonderful it would be to not have to do anything in the future, yet have money to earn every month and enjoy delicious food and fish every day!

These words made Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu very excited.

After asking about the departure time, he immediately ran to pick them up.

The first thing that comes to mind is of course the elderly in my family.

When he arrived at the hospital, Liu Guangtian was about to speak.

Liu Guangfu grabbed him and whispered:

"Second brother, Dad is very proud, and he won't be willing to go if he tells you the truth. Now that we have big brother to support us, we have enough food and clothes to eat and live a good life, so why would he be willing to go out?"

"Let's follow Zhang Hui's instructions and don't reveal it."

"When we get to Hong Kong Island and taste the sweetness, my father will thank us."

In the front hall of the courtyard, Yu Li just came home from get off work and saw her sister Yu Haitang standing at the door.

"Sister, you're back..."

Seeing her come back, Yu Haitang immediately stepped forward, took the bag and greeted her warmly.

"Haitang, why didn't you go home today?"

Yu Li smiled and walked into the house.

I know that my sister came here probably to look for a job.

It's a pity that this girl is vain and realistic, always wanting to get some benefits.

"My parents keep nagging me to find a partner. It's so annoying. I'll just stay at my sister's place for a few days."

Yu Haitang looked aggrieved.

"And how is the position I talked to you about last time?

"The new factory is almost completed. When can I become the head of the publicity department?"

"Sister is keeping an eye on this matter for you."

Yu Li looked a little embarrassed, sighed and continued:

"You are my biological sister, how can I not care about you? But even though I am also the vice president, I still have the general manager He Yuzhu to control me. I have to listen to his arrangements in everything, and I can't make the final decision for you."

"The selection of those management members was decided by He Yuzhu."

"I did mention your matter, but I don't know exactly what he will do."

"I'll go ask him tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yu Haitang nodded happily: "I knew that my sister is the best! She is really the best sister in the world."

A moment of silence.

She asked with concern: "You are now the vice president, you have status and face, you can't be a widow all your life.

Divorce early while you are still young, don’t waste your life.”

Yu Li glanced at her and thought that her sister was really stupid.

Only a fool would choose divorce. If she was unmarried and got close to He Yuzhu, people would gossip about her. It's not like now, where being married makes things much more convenient.

Naturally, I won’t tell my sister about these things.

Yu Li sighed helplessly:

"Haitang, you don't understand. It's precisely because I have status and identity that I can't leave easily."

"If we really get divorced, there will definitely be a lot of rumors, saying things like I'm fickle and heartless, and I won't be able to defend myself then."

"Over the years, my sister has already gotten used to living alone."

"You should listen to my advice while you are still young and get married and find someone to rely on."

Yu Haitang pouted: "He Yushui hasn't married yet, so I don't want to think about it in a hurry."

Why compete with the rain?

Yu Li complained in her heart.

It wasn't that he really cared about her, he just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible so that she wouldn't come over and stay for a few nights from time to time. It would be a disaster if she let something slip in her sleep and got discovered.

"Begonia, don't compare yourself to the rain."

"She is in college, and He Yuzhu is urging her to find a partner. It's not that she doesn't want to get married, but she can't find a suitable one."

"What's the point of fighting with her? When she finds her other half and gets married, you might be a step too late."

"Do you also want to marry the same person?"

Hearing this, Yu Haitang blushed:

"Sister, what are you talking about! I won't steal her husband!"

"I'm not trying to compare myself with her to see who has a better life;"

"I have been living well on my own these years and feel quite comfortable."

"What's so good about being married? You have to look after your husband, do housework, take care of the kids and other household chores. You don't have any time for yourself.

“To me, it feels like bondage. My situation is different from He Yushui’s;

“She may not have met the right person yet;

"But I really don't want to find someone to marry. I just want to live a simple life like this."

"Of course, if I really meet the right person in the future, I might change my mind. Well, this is it."

Yu Haitang is very sure about this.

If He Yuzhu got divorced, he would give himself a chance to pursue him.

However, this possibility is very small.

Yu Haitang has always been a straightforward person, both in his work style and personality.

If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

It’s that straightforward to want to live a good life.

The same is true for wanting to be envied.

Go after what you want.

Stay away from things you hate.

Never secretive.

After the last random thought,

She realized that although she was reluctant to admit it, she did have feelings for He Yuzhu.

She herself didn't know exactly when it started.

Perhaps it was because of the regret and remorse after missing him several times that I kept the impression of him deeply in my heart;

Perhaps it was when he ignored me that I became interested in him;

Or maybe I was simply attracted by his appearance.

Whatever the reason,

Since she has already fallen in love, Yu Haitang will not deceive herself and deny this feeling.

Even so, she didn't plan to do anything special.

After having tried to get close to him several times and been ignored,

Yu Haitang didn't want to make herself feel uncomfortable anymore.

All those previous secret thoughts of becoming the woman by his side and using his fame to win the envy of others are no longer important.

After I really like it,

Instead, I have more mature thinking.

As I get older, my ideas become more mature.

Feelings that I had never truly experienced before suddenly appeared.

This feeling is wonderful and sacred.

Pure love, no need for any impurities.

Suddenly, she really hoped that she could leave a good impression on him and let him know that she was actually a good woman.

I want to dress myself up beautifully so that I can attract attention every time I appear in front of him.

As for whether to talk or not, it is not the most important thing. I just want to show my beauty.

Women dress up to please the person they like.

That's probably the feeling.

In the eyes of a lover, every woman is a beauty. The more you look at him, the more handsome you think he is, and the more you miss him.

This must be the feeling of liking someone.

I didn't think too much about marriage.

I am worried about this man whom I can't have, and thinking of him occasionally is a little comfort.

Knowing that he has a family, I understand that there is no possibility between us.

These thoughts did not make her feel too lost, but rather she enjoyed it.

Show your presence in front of him from time to time and show your charm.

Yu Li was speechless.

I had no idea how to persuade Haitang.

Forget it, since she chooses to live alone, let her be.

bus station.

Xu Damao waited for several days and finally saw Yan Jiefang coming back, and hurried to meet him.

Thinking that he could let Qin Jingru see how powerful he is tonight.

Be prepared for the wind and rain!

"Where's the medicine? Give it to me..."

Xu Damao said anxiously.

Yan Jiefang glanced at him and handed him a small paper bag.

This matter was settled earlier.

When Xu Damao mentioned that he needed some medicine,

Yan Jiefang knew what this medicine was probably used for. After all, it had a specific use.

Seeing Xu Damao so anxious at this moment, he was more certain that his guess was correct.

However, Yan Jiefang did not explain the true effect of this drug. After all, from another perspective, it can indeed help men solve some minor problems.

"Why so little?"

Xu Damao looked at the medicine powder in the small paper bag and was not very satisfied. It was only enough for one meal.

But he didn't care at all whether Yan Jiefang had seen through his thoughts.

Both of them are of the same character, and these issues between them will not become material for discussion.

"It's not too little, enough for three meals. Mainly because of limited funds, the medicine seller is reluctant to give more."

Yan Jiefang gave a brief explanation.

Xu Damao still felt it was too little.

"You took twenty dollars from me, and this is not enough. Give me another pack."

In desperation, Yan Jiefang had to give him another copy.

"That's all there is left. It's useless to buy more. I only bought this little bit of powder and divided it into four portions. You can buy more in the future when you have more money."

Xu Damao thought about it for a moment and felt that this made sense.

It doesn't matter how much medicine you take, what matters is whether it works.

With excitement,

Xu Damao didn't say much to Yan Jiefang. He took the medicine and rushed home to try out its effects.

Yan Jiefang looked at him with a strange expression and walked home with a frown on his face after he left.

Getting the medicine is certainly a good thing, but the troubles still continue.

These medicines were originally prepared for livestock, and they did not take into account the taste of humans taking them, so the smell of the medicine is very unpleasant.

Even if it is diluted with water, there is still a strange smell. Not to mention putting it in a thermos, even if it is added to wine, the abnormality will be quickly detected.

How to conceal the truth is a difficult problem.

He has been thinking about this problem over and over again along the way and is ready to try different methods one by one to see what the effects are.

It was already late when I got home.

Originally he left home to deal with some matters at the school in the mountains.

I just got home and casually answered questions from my elders.

Then he secretly started the experimental process.

According to the pre-conceived plan,

First try to mix some tea leaves with water to cover up the original taste of the medicine.

I added a little brown sugar to adjust the color of the medicine to make it easier to swallow.

After finishing it, Yan Jiefang tried the taste and found that there was no strange smell and it had a sweet taste mixed with the fragrance of tea, which felt quite good.

"It's done..."

Yan Jiefang was extremely excited and quickly made a whole pot of medicinal tea. He was about to give it to Yu Li while it was not too hot, but he hesitated before leaving.

I don't know what's going on.

Yu Li always showed indifference towards him.

He knows this.

Although we have met frequently recently, we have never had the opportunity to communicate and the other party has always ignored us.

Giving something to someone like this would seem too abrupt.

After thinking about it,

I decided to ask my sister Yan Jie Di to help with the delivery. After all, there are fewer communication barriers between people of the same gender, and it is easier to dispel the other party's vigilance.

"Why did you send her this tea?"

Yan Jiedi was very reluctant to take on this assignment.

Although Yu Li has now been promoted to deputy general manager,

However, this did not bring any practical benefits to the Yan family.

The same thing happened when she was still working as a restaurant manager. She tried to use her connections to help her family find a job but was unsuccessful.

Therefore, Yan Jie Di had no good feelings towards her.
