The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

Liu Hao's lips curled up wildly, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Who I date is none of your business, it's none of your concern.

Hearing this, Ye Juan got angry and kicked Liu Hao in the butt with her long leg.

Caught off guard by the kick, Liu Hao staggered forward two steps and turned around to look at Ye Juan in astonishment.

"you……"

"Let's get together!"

Ye Juan gritted her teeth, revealing her straightforward Northeastern personality. After speaking with a flushed face, she took off running, faster than a dog chasing her.

Liu Hao stood there stunned for a long time, until Ye Juan's figure disappeared, before he belatedly realized what was happening.

The little queen has agreed to date me?

A surge of intense joy welled up inside him. Liu Hao dusted himself off and pumped his fists a few times.

In the 1950s and 60s, pursuing girls was simple and unpretentious. As long as you were outstanding, girls really didn't care about your family background.

In modern times, even if an ordinary person could get close to a girl as beautiful as the Little Queen, they would at least need a car, a house, a good job, and a dowry of hundreds of thousands.

Thank you to the truck driver at the school gate! Wishing the driver a safe and smooth journey, and may he have eight sons in one pregnancy, eight children in a row!

This era is wonderful! I love this era!

……

Lunchtime, third canteen.

Lunch was served promptly at 11:30 a.m. Workers dressed in blue overalls and wearing cloth hats carried their lunchboxes into the canteen and lined up, chatting and laughing.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, He Xiaomeng stared wide-eyed at Ye Juan, then looked at Liu Hao, her mouth slightly agape.

"Sister Juan, is Hao your boyfriend???"

He Xiaomeng and Ye Juan were classmates at the Capital Broadcasting College, but in different classes.

Ye Juan studied broadcasting, and He Xiaomeng studied news editing. Because of their outstanding looks, they were known as the "Twin Beauties of the College".

When it came time for job assignments after graduation, the school considered that He Xiaomeng was too shy and not suitable to be a reporter. However, He Xiaomeng happened to be good at math and arithmetic, so they assigned her to the finance department of the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

Ye Juan blushed, not daring to look at Liu Hao, and said in a barely audible voice, "Well, you could say that!"

Liu Hao objected, correcting him, "What do you mean by 'consider'? It means either it is or it isn't. Our teachers always taught us to be realistic!"

Ye Juan's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed, and her fiery temper flared up at the slightest touch.

"Yes, yes, yes!!! Is that alright now?"

"That's more like it..."

"Get lost, just looking at you annoys me. Eat your food!"

Ye Juan glared at Liu Hao, then pulled the dazed He Xiaomeng forward.

Liu Hao followed behind with his head held high, admiring his wife's great figure, which even her thick cotton-padded coat couldn't hide.

As Ye Juan and He Xiaomeng stepped into the canteen, the once noisy canteen instantly became much quieter, with both male and female workers watching them intently.

There was no way around it; these two girls were too dazzling, and every single young male worker liked them.

But very few people actually dare to pursue it!

Everyone was stunned when they saw Liu Hao following behind.

Who is this handsome young man?

"Hey, Brother Liu's here?"

Xu Damao reappeared like a ghost, sidled up to Liu Hao, and said with a hint of smugness, "Let me introduce you all. This is our new accountant, Liu, from the steel rolling mill. She's a top student who graduated from the Capital Finance and Trade Cadre School. From now on, Accountant Liu will be calculating everyone's wages. Shall we give her a round of applause?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the workers applauded enthusiastically.

These days, intellectuals are highly respected, and being the top graduate and also an accountant who calculates payroll makes them even more deserving of respect.

It directly affects wages and income, so whether it's a workshop foreman or an ordinary worker, everyone has to be polite and no one dares to offend them easily.

Liu Hao showed no stage fright and greeted the workers with a smile.

"Good afternoon, fellow workers. My name is Liu Hao, Hao as in 'May the heavens bless you.' I'm honored to join our Third Steel Rolling Mill family. I hope you'll all take good care of me in the future, and let's work together to do a good job!"

Everyone had a good first impression of Liu Hao. He was handsome, well-educated, and gentle. Only a psychologically disturbed person would feel disgusted by such a good young man.

It's obvious that Sha Zhu, who's standing at window number 1 wielding a big iron ladle to serve food, is a pervert.

"Tch, what a pretentious and despicable scoundrel!"

Liu Lan, standing to the side, sneered, "Silly Zhu, you're really jealous. Are you jealous that Accountant Liu is prettier than you?"

Sha Zhu immediately lost his composure, stubbornly retorting, "Bullshit! I, He Yuzhu, am tall and strong, handsome, an eighth-level chef, earning 37.5 yuan a month, and I have three main rooms. Why would I be jealous of this pretty boy?"

"..."

Liu Lan looked at Sha Zhu, whose face was bruised and swollen, and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, tall and imposing is a stretch, but you're half a head shorter than Accountant Liu, and you call yourself handsome? Oh my, that's hilarious! You're like a dung beetle wearing flowers, so vain!"

When it comes to bickering and arguing, Sha Zhu has never been afraid of anyone.

He sneered and said coldly, "What do you know? A man like me is the kind of good man for a stable life. Some people are just two-faced; they may look shiny on the outside, but they're nothing but scum!"

Liu Lan was not one to be trifled with either, and she sarcastically remarked, "Tsk tsk, at least they look glamorous on the surface. Some people look crooked and ugly on the outside, but their hearts are even dirtier. They're ugly and wicked, like rocks in a latrine—stinky and hard!"

Sha Zhu was so taken aback by these words that his eyelids twitched. He immediately retorted, his spittle almost splashing onto Liu Lan's face.

"Who the hell are you calling a deformed freak...?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ma Hua, who was at window number two next door, hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.

"Sir, calm down, calm down. Sister Lan, let's switch. You can go to window number three!"

Liu Lan glanced at Sha Zhu, too lazy to argue with this scoundrel and waste her breath.

Sha Zhu acted like a tyrant in the kitchen all day long, hogging all the leftovers, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of others, but no one dared to offend him.

But Liu Lan wasn't afraid. The two often argued, and the people in the kitchen were used to it, as were the workers.

Sha Zhu continued getting his food, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Ye Juan, who was in line at window number two!

"MCA, let's switch!"

Ma Hua also saw Ye Juan and knew that his mentor liked Ye Juan, who had only been assigned to the factory last month.

He was quite helpless and wanted to say, "Master, you shouldn't waste your time. You're not good enough for this kind of girl."

But he knew Sha Zhu's temper well; he was proud and self-righteous, so talking to him was useless and would only bring him a scolding.

"Okay, master."

The two switched places, and Liu Hao, who was standing behind Ye Juan, was observing Sha Zhu.

A height of 1.84 meters is rare in this era.

Standing tall, one can see far. When he saw that Sha Zhu and Ma Hua had switched places, he smiled slightly, his palm holding the aluminum lunchbox feeling a little itchy.

The scene of flipping a wok...

"Liu Hao, go get your food from another window!"

Ye Juan also saw Sha Zhu and Ma Hua switch places, which disgusted her. She turned to Liu Hao and said something, then pulled He Xiaomeng away from the line and ran to the back of the line at window number three.

Liu Hao was a little reluctant; the wok-flipping scene hadn't even started before it was over?
