Siheyuan: Cooking journey

I don't really care about abilities.

The reason why I feel it's okay is very simple, because she is Yu Li's biological sister, there won't be any problem in trust.

"She forgets it..."

Yu Li quickly shook her head and sighed:

"She is demanding, picky, and very arrogant:"

"Letting her be my secretary doesn't mean she's here to help me. Instead, I might end up running around for her every day."

There is another key reason that Yu Li did not mention.

Her sister is still unmarried at this age, and she is still obsessed with this man.

Yu Li also knew that he had to wait at the gate of the steel mill every day.

If she were to become a secretary and she found out about what was going on between her and her man, she would definitely not let it go.

This is tantamount to giving her something to hold against her and causing trouble.

How can you do this?

"Since you don't like it, forget it."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yu Li to be so opposed to letting Yu Haitang be a secretary. It seemed that the relationship between the two sisters was really not good.

Yu Li hugged him tightly and asked worriedly:

"We've been together for so long, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. Do you think it's my fault? I want to go to Xiangdao for a checkup."

"After all, I'm already over 30 years old, and I want to give you a child while I'm still young."

He Yuzhu comforted her gently:

"There's nothing wrong with you. You don't need to get checked out. Sometimes it depends on fate and luck. If you're lucky, you'll get it soon."

Yu Li blinked, her eyes full of tenderness.

"If it depends on luck, since there has been no movement for so long, could it be that you are not working hard enough?"

He Yuzhu looked at her and helped her tidy up her clothes, making them neat and tidy.

The working hours of the instant noodle factory are similar to those of the steel rolling mill.

The first-line production workshop operates in three shifts.

The logistics department gets off work at four o'clock.

The factory is outside the city, and it is inconvenient for employees to commute to get off work, so the bus company specially arranged several night buses for everyone to use, but this is only a temporary solution.

He Yuzhu has asked Lao Guo for help in importing large buses.

We plan to set up a fleet in the future to pick up and drop off employees to and from get off work on a regular basis every day.

It can still be used even if the steel mill is moved out of the city in the future.

In addition to the buses, he also plans to get a few more trucks to form a transport team.

This is a necessary configuration, which saves time and effort. It is too troublesome to apply for a vehicle from the transportation company every time the goods are delivered to the port.

Normally, he should go to the hotel with Lou Xiao'e after get off work.

But today I've basically been busy with work.

He Yuzhu wanted to go home to see Ran Qiuye and Nian Qiu first, and Lou Xiaoe did not object, so the two drove back to the steel mill.

He Yuzhu concentrated on driving and didn't say much.

Yu Li in the passenger seat was also very quiet.

Yu Haitang, who was sitting in the back seat, frowned slightly and looked a little absent-minded.

Ever since I got on the bus, I always smelled a strange smell.

It wasn't the smell of leather or gasoline, but a scent I had never encountered before.

It smelled a bit strange and it made her feel uncomfortable.

But after smelling it for a long time, I felt some inexplicable attraction and wanted to smell it more.

Why is this happening?

Yu Haitang couldn't figure it out.

I've been riding in this car for a few days, and I never had this feeling before.

Why did it suddenly appear today?

I wanted to ask if He Yuzhu and his sister had the same feelings.

But I don't know where to start.

And so we made our way back to the steel mill.

He Yuzhu left as soon as he got off the car.

Yu Haitang waited for a while, and then spoke after her sister got off the car:

"Sister, can I stay at your place tonight? You should have instant noodles there, we can have that for dinner."

"it is good……"

Yu Li didn't say anything. Although she was looking forward to it, she also knew that she would feel lonely if her husband didn't come over at night. She began to dislike the night less and less.

It’s actually quite nice to have a younger sister by my side.

After closing the car door, Yu Li walked in front.

Yu Haitang followed behind her and saw the wrinkles on her clothes. She couldn't help but said distressedly: "Sister, please be careful when you sit down. This kind of small suit will not be beautiful if it has wrinkles."

Yu Li's eyes flashed with shyness, and she pretended not to care and said, "It doesn't matter. I have to wash it anyway. It will easily wrinkle after washing. Just iron it."

"It's troublesome to iron it all the time. If you pay more attention to it, it can be worn longer..."

The two sisters returned to the courtyard while chatting.

Yu Li opened the door.

Yu Haitang was curious about the other houses and asked, "Sister, where are the other people in the Yan family?"

"I'm not too sure either."

Yu Li responded casually, went into the house, took off her suit and threw it on the bed, then put on a thick cotton coat.

It’s a little warmer at the company, so of course I have to dress up nicely to look good; but it’s different when I get home, it’s very cold here, so keeping warm is the most important thing.

Compared to that thin suit, this floral cotton jacket is warmer.

"Sister, it's so cold in the room. Do you want to light the stove and cook a bowl of noodles?"

Rarely, Yu Haitang offered to help.

After the stove was lit, Yu Li went to cook noodles.

Feeling cold, Yu Haitang wanted to hide in the bed to keep warm. Just as she picked up her sister's small suit and was about to put it aside, she suddenly smelled a strange smell.

So she stopped and froze for a moment.

.......

When He Yuzhu returned home, he was a little surprised to see this scene.

It would have been fine if Qin Huairu was just here, but even Qin Jingru was studying with Ran Qiuye.

It’s just right, I haven’t seen you for a few days, so I’ll catch up on the lessons I missed.

He Yuzhu took the textbook and arranged the study tasks, "Write each of these Chinese characters a hundred times..."

"Hey......"

Qin Jingru muttered something, tears already welling up in her eyes.

She originally thought that she just needed to learn it casually, but she didn't expect it to be completely different from what her cousin said, so she looked at Qin Huairu for help.

Qin Huairu looked normal, but she felt mixed emotions.

"Since we are just starting, we don't need to write it so many times..."

Ran Qiuye pleaded for Qin Jingru.

Immediately, Qin Jingru looked at her with gratitude and felt as if she was closer to her.

"Then copy and read at the same time, fifty times each, that's about it."

You have to read it out loud! Qin Jingru's eyes widened.

It's so embarrassing. I would rather copy it a hundred times than be so embarrassed.

"Jingru, do you think it's possible? Can you do it?"

He Yuzhu looked straight at her and asked.

“What you learn is ultimately yours.”

“As long as you are willing to study hard, it is of course a good thing; however, if you can't persevere, it is better to give up as soon as possible and not waste your time.”

After listening to him finish this,

Qin Jingru was a little surprised, as she didn't want to learn anything at all.

Just because he said this, he saw the other person's serious and indifferent expression.

I couldn't help but feel panicky, worrying that if I didn't continue like this, the two of us would become even more distant.

"Then I...can I go home and write again?"

He spoke with his head lowered and his face flushed.

"I promise to complete the required number of times, and I will recite it fifty times. Doing it here may disturb everyone; if I encounter a word I don't know, I will ask Dangdang or Huaihua for help."

"Then you go."

Seeing how sensitive she was, Ran Qiuye gently reminded her: "Remember, what really matters is not how many times you repeat it, but remembering it."

"Okay, okay, thank you, teacher!"

Qin Jingru quickly agreed, not daring to look at He Yuzhu, and ran out quickly with her head down.

Watch her leave.

Qin Huairu sighed in her heart.

She was very envious of He Yuzhu's targeting of Qin Jingru.

In contrast, in He Yuzhu's eyes, it seemed as if she did not exist at all, and he neither cared nor paid any attention to her.

This feeling made Qin Huairu feel uncomfortable and very wronged.

She couldn't help but want to get his attention.

"Sister Qin, you have almost learned to read. Today I will teach you math..."

Ran Qiuye's voice brought her back to reality. Qin Huairu immediately listened carefully and made rapid progress in her studies.

He Yuzhu looked at her in surprise.

How is this going?

It was something I did unintentionally, but it unexpectedly produced results!

He Yushui and Song Yunping came back a little later, and after dinner, He Yuzhu went out.

Just as we arrived at the gate of the yard, we met an old man taking a walk. We greeted each other and prepared to leave.

An old man stopped him and asked, "Zhu Zi, last time you said that Liu Haizhong and his son went to Hong Kong Island. What about the old Yan family? I haven't seen them for a few days. I heard that Old Yan used to work as a construction worker in the new factory. Could it be that he also knows those people from Hong Kong Island and his whole family went there?"

He Yuzhu nodded and replied, "I only found out about it later. I heard that Old Yan's illness could be cured there, so his family accompanied him there."

The old man continued to ask, "When can they come back?"

After get off work on weekdays, he and Lao Yan often played chess, and he was not used to the sudden absence of one person.

“I’m not sure exactly when.”

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I'll ask someone to help find out what's going on over there."

In fact, even he himself is not sure, so it is quite troublesome to connect them.

The old man sighed and didn't mention the matter again.

After the two chatted for a few more irrelevant words, He Yuzhu said goodbye and left, saying that he had to go to the factory to work.

When he came to the front yard, he stopped involuntarily.

I took a look at the room where Yu Li lived.

I found that the lights had been turned off for a long time, probably because he had gone to bed.

After a little hesitation, I decided to turn around and leave.

This place is not as secluded as the backyard. There are always people coming and going in front, and it would be bad if someone saw us.

inside the house,

Yu Haitang lay in bed but did not feel sleepy at all.

The smell that remained on her sister's clothes made her feel particularly strange.

Although I don't know what it is,

But she always felt something was wrong.

I always feel like I'm being kept in the dark.

"Sister, did you smell a strange smell in the car when you got home today?"

Yu Haitang asked cautiously.

"Have it?"

Yu Li thought about it and her face felt slightly hot, and she pretended to be confused.

"Maybe it's because the car windows were open for ventilation. Maybe it's the leather smell or the oil leak. After all, we don't know much about the internal structure of these cars."

This explanation sounds reasonable.

But when I think about it carefully, the smell on the clothes seems to be exactly the same as that in the car...
