Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The kitchen of a canteen in a steel rolling mill.

He Yuzhu was very happy during this period. Although he was still under punishment and could not be promoted to a higher level, his relationship with Qin Huairu was becoming closer and closer.

After working in the kitchen for less than an hour, he grabbed Wang Dong and left.

Perhaps because he had borrowed dozens of dollars from Wang Dong during this period, he felt that his relationship with Wang Dong was very good.

He smiled and replied: "Wang Dong..."

"Do you know what my godfather said yesterday?"

"He is going to arrange a blind date for me this weekend. If nothing goes wrong, I will be married."

"Can you lend me another ten dollars..."

"I have a blind date tomorrow, so I won't be able to prepare delicious food for Sister Qin and her family. I plan to make a few more meat dishes for Sister Qin at noon so that she can take them home for lunch tomorrow."

"You've almost spent all the money you lent me last time..."

Wang Dong wanted to shout: "Fool..."

She was about to go on a blind date, but she was still thinking about Qin Huairu. As long as the blind date partner was a normal person, she would not stay with He Yuzhu.

But He Yuzhu's mind is now full of Qin Huairu. Even if Wang Dong wants to persuade him, he will not believe it. Instead, he will think that Wang Dong is deliberately trying to sow discord.

In this case, the best thing to do is to be a bystander.

Besides, if his memory is correct, not only will Qin Huairu try to sabotage He Yuzhu's next blind date, but Xu Damao will not just watch He Yuzhu's blind date succeed.

He nodded immediately: "Including the ten yuan I borrowed today, you borrowed a total of fifty yuan. You must return me one hundred kilograms of flour in one year... Is that right?"

He Yuzhu snorted in his heart: "Isn't it just a hundred kilograms of flour?"

"When the supplies in Sijiu City become abundant, even in Pigeon City, the price of a pound of white flour will not exceed 20 cents. A hundred pounds of white flour will cost 20 yuan, which is really a good deal."

He nodded immediately: "One hundred kilograms of flour is one hundred kilograms of flour, just lend it to me now."

Wang Dong smiled, and after He Yuzhu signed the loan agreement and put his fingerprints on it, he decisively gave He Yuzhu the ten yuan.

Steel Rolling Mill Publicity Section.

Qin Huairu appeared at the door at some point.

"Da Mao... come out for a moment, Sister Qin wants to see you..."

"Qin Huairu...what are you doing here?" Looking at Qin Huairu who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xu Damao's face was full of vigilance.

The incident at the small warehouse last time frightened Xu Damao so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

If the security department had really arrested me at that time, the news would definitely spread throughout the steel mill, and my father-in-law would also know that I was fooling around.

Given how much my father-in-law loves Lou Xiao'e, he will definitely punish me severely, and that would be too tragic.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu also knew that this matter would be disadvantageous to her if it spread, and finally both parties joined forces to suppress the matter.

After this incident, Xu Damao always felt that Qin Huairu was an unlucky person and that anyone who had anything to do with him would be unlucky, such as his husband Jia Dongxu and now He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu died in an accident.

He Yuzhu is still carrying the punishment, having been demoted from a level eight chef to a level ten chef.

He was afraid that if he got too close to Qin Huairu, he would become unlucky one day.

Every time I met Qin Huairu in the yard, I would walk around her.

I didn't expect that Qin Huairu would come to me on her own initiative today.

Although I really didn't want to talk to him, we were both co-workers and neighbors after all, so I didn't want to make things too serious.

I had no choice but to walk out of the Propaganda Department.

"Qin Huairu, we are just neighbors. You are not my sister Qin. Don't talk nonsense. Others will misunderstand if they hear you."

After listening to this, Qin Huairu knew that Xu Damao was still angry about what happened in the small warehouse that day.

To be honest, Qin Huairu was also very angry. If He Yuzhu hadn't suddenly appeared, the deal between the two would have been done, and she wouldn't have to pay an extra twenty yuan. But who made He Yuzhu her bloodsucking bag?

No matter how angry you are, you can only pretend nothing happened.

He quickly explained: "Da Mao..."

"What happened last time was really unexpected. I didn't expect Zhuzi to suddenly appear in the small warehouse!"

“I am also a victim in this matter…”

"I'm looking for you to help me with something today!"

"The uncle introduced a blind date to Zhuzi. We will go to his house for the blind date tomorrow."

"As Zhuzi's godfather, I should help him arrange things."

"It's almost impossible to buy meat or vegetables in the pigeon market now, and even white flour is rarely available."

"Zhuzi can't treat his blind date with cornmeal steamed bread and boiled cabbage..."

"You often go to the countryside to show movies, and you always bring back a lot of local specialties. You must have some in stock at home!"

"Your wife, Lou Xiao'e, is the daughter of Director Lou of the steel mill. She must be able to get flour and pork..."

"Can you sell me some?"

Xu Damao was dumbfounded by Qin Huairu's words. His first reaction was that he didn't believe that she was so nice that she would take the initiative to help He Yuzhu go on a blind date.

I couldn't help but remind: "Qin Huairu..."

"Are you really going to help He Yuzhu find a blind date?"

"Aren't you afraid that after He Yuzhu gets married, he will no longer support the Jia family and buy delicious food for Banggeng?"

Qin Huairu quickly refuted: "Refute..."

"Don't say such things!"

"Zhu Zi is Bang Geng's godfather. He will still be Bang Geng's godfather after marriage. He will definitely continue to treat Bang Geng well."

"As Banggeng's biological mother, I definitely hope that Banggeng's godfather can find a godmother for Banggeng as soon as possible."

Xu Damao widened his eyes, feeling as if he had gotten to know Qin Huairu all over again, and asked back with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Aren't you afraid that Zhuzi's wife will manage the money after marriage? Aren't you afraid that his wife is a stingy person and will never buy delicious food for Banggeng again..."

Qin Huairu immediately showed a firm expression and said: "Da Mao..."

"I, Qin Huairu, am not such a person..."

"Besides, Zhuzi is such a good person. Even if he finds a wife, she won't be a bad person!"

"Don't accuse me!"

For a moment, Xu Damao actually believed what Qin Huairu said, but he quickly rejected the idea in his heart.

If Qin Huairu really had a good character, she wouldn't have caught He Yuzhu and sucked his blood.

He ended the topic decisively and looked at Qin Huairu and continued to ask: "I have flour at home... I also have meat at home..."

"There are also a lot of dried mushrooms and cured chicken..."

"It's just a little expensive..."

"You also know that the price of white flour in Pigeon Market has risen to more than 50 cents per pound..."

“The price of cured chicken and cured meat is even more expensive!”

"Give me ten yuan, and I'll give you two kilograms of flour, a cured chicken, a kilogram of cured meat, and some dried mushrooms..."

The ten yuan in Qin Huairu's hand was what He Yuzhu had just borrowed from Wang Dong. In his eyes, the cured chicken, bacon, and white flour he bought from Xu Damao all belonged to the Jia family in the end, so he didn't feel sorry at all to use them.

He took it out decisively and handed it to Xu Damao!
