Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

In the west courtyard.

Sha Zhu and others reluctantly helped push the coal cart. If Director Wang hadn't been watching, they would have wanted to overturn the coal cart directly.

Grabbing coal is a physical job.

The old women in the family lined up before dawn. After buying the coal, they put it in the bucket and piled it up. After the men came back, they went to pull the coal back.

Even so, it was not certain that they could grab good coal.

After Lin Shaowen's cart of coal fell to the ground, there was almost no miscellaneous coal. Many people wanted to grab a few pieces to take back.

"Xiao Lin, give me the coal book."

Director Wang took advantage of everyone looking at the coal and whispered.

Lou Xiao'e immediately took out the coal book and handed it to Director Wang.

Director Wang put the coal book in his pocket, and then directed the two young men from the street office to stack the coal, and then prepared to retreat.

"Director Wang, the New Year is coming soon." Lou Xiao'e handed over a small cloth bag, "There are some candies in it, take them back and share them with your colleagues in the street office."

"Wow, these are sent by patients?" Director Wang picked up the candies that were a little heavy, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Don't you keep some for yourself for the New Year?"

"There are only two of us, how much can we eat." Lou Xiao'e smiled, "Sister Wang, this candy is not wrong, right?"

"What's wrong?" Director Wang pinched Lou Xiao'e's face and said, "The street office and the residents are all one family, this is too much, I will send some to Captain Xing and others for you later."

"Thank you Director Wang." Lin Shaowen smiled.

"Okay, let's go."

Director Wang waved his hand and left with the candies.

"I say, Lin Shaowen, you have so many good things, why don't you help the elderly in the hospital?" Yi Zhonghai said dissatisfiedly.

"Will the elderly help me pull coal?" Lin Shaowen said innocently.

"Respecting the old and loving the young is the tradition of our hospital. Even though you gave Director Wang so many candies, she may not remember your kindness." Yan Bugui said with a gloomy face, "If you build a good relationship with the neighbors, we can get your coal back for you, right?"

"That's right, why do you, a deputy director of a steel rolling mill, go to please a director of a street office?" Xu Damao said sourly, "In terms of rank, she is a regular section chief, and you are also a regular section chief, you are at the same level."

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, as if Lin Shaowen had violated the law of heaven by giving candies to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, why are you back?" Lin Shaowen suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned around in panic, but found nothing.

Bang!

Lin Shaowen closed the door.

"This kid is too arrogant." Xu Damao gritted his teeth.

"That's right, I will deal with him sooner or later." Liu Haizhong also gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"You say... How many good things does Lin Shaowen have?" Yan Bugui said, touching his chin.

"That's hard to say." Jia Zhang frowned and said, "In addition to getting a salary from the factory, this kid often makes money by seeing patients... Didn't you see that bag of candy? It's enough for our courtyard to celebrate the New Year."

"We have to think of a way to let him take care of the elderly in the courtyard." Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered.

"I agree." Sha Zhu said righteously, "Lin Shaowen has always been a man without conscience. Others are eating coarse food, but he eats meat and fish every day."

"How do you know?" Yan Jiecheng looked at Sha Zhu curiously.

"This..."

Sha Zhu was speechless for a while.

He didn't dare to tell Lin Shaowen that he asked him to cook. What if Lin Shaowen fired him in anger? Where would he find the extra money of 20 yuan a month?

"Zhuzi, you are on our side." Yi Zhonghai put his arm around Shazhu's shoulders and said, "Since your father ran away, if it weren't for the three of us taking care of you, would you have lived so comfortably?"

"That's right, Shazhu, the uncles in our courtyard have always taken care of you." Liu Haizhong also echoed.

Shazhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lin Shaowen asked me to cook for Lou Xiaoe and gave me 20 yuan a month."

"There's this?" Everyone was shocked.

"Well, Lin Shaowen thinks he is a big landlord." Yi Zhonghai said indignantly, "Now the people are in charge, and he dares to hire servants..."

"I'm not a servant." Shazhu argued.

"No, you are the servant."

A cold light flashed in Liu Haizhong's eyes.

If this matter gets out of hand, Lin Shaowen will be in big trouble.

Shazhu regretted it a lot. Why can't he control his mouth?

Qin Jingru dared to come out of the bedroom only after everyone left.

Lin Shaowen took a glance and was startled.

Qin Jingru was wearing a black woolen coat, a white dress, a pair of boots, and her hair was slightly tied up. She lookedShe looks like an urban beauty.

"Shao Wen, does it look good?" Lou Xiao'e said, hugging Qin Jingru.

"It looks good." Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, "Did you buy this woolen coat in Wangfujing?"

"Yes." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "We are workers and cannot wear it, but Jingru can wear it in the countryside."

In fact, if we talk about generosity, Lou Xiao'e is more generous than Lin Shaowen.

She was educated as a lady from a noble family since she was a child. Before she got married, she had no concept of money. After she got married, even if she did not rely on the Lou family, she never worried about money.

"It's pretty good."

After Lin Shaowen praised her, he sat under the shed and warmed himself by the fire.

Qin Jingru lowered her head, took off her coat, and was about to cook.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Jingru hurried over to open the door, and when she saw that it was Sha Zhu, she subconsciously took a step back.

"You are...Jingru?"

Shazhu was stunned.

If Qin Jingru was a seven-point beauty before, she is now at least a nine-point beauty. Fashionable clothes, slender figure, but the awe-inspiring temperament on her face has not changed.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Jingru asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I'm here to cook."

Shazhu walked in with a smile, greeted Lin Shaowen, and went straight to the kitchen.

"Cooking?"

Qin Jingru pouted, thinking that Shazhu was too tactless.

"Don't get me wrong." Lin Shaowen said leisurely, "He didn't come for you this time. He is the master chef I hired to cook for your sister-in-law."

"Master chef?"

Shazhu, who was cooking, sighed when he heard this.

Regardless of how Lin Shaowen was, he really respected him and rarely called him "Shazhu Shazhu".

After a while, four dishes and a soup were ready.

This time, Sha Zhu did not leave in a hurry, but sat directly on the stool.

Lin Shaowen did not care, and went to the study to get a bottle of Wuliangye.

When Sha Zhu saw Wuliangye, his worry became even worse.

"Master He, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Lin Shaowen smiled and poured him wine.

"I..." Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Just now in the yard... I told you about asking me to cook."

Bang!

Lou Xiao'e threw the chopsticks hard, and said with a sullen face, "He Yuzhu, tell me honestly, Shao Wen and I are good to you, right? We have never owed you wages, right?"

"No... no." Sha Zhu said with some shame.

"Shao Wen has always treated you as a friend, and often invites you to drink, right?" Lou Xiao'e said angrily.

Qin Jingru stood in the corner, a little confused.

Sha Zhu lowered his head, a little at a loss.

"Don't be angry, it's a small problem." Lin Shaowen comforted with a smile.
