Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Not to mention how many diapers I have to wash every day. This is still a good season so my hands won’t get cold. If it were winter, the whole room would be full of diapers that need to be dried!

The most torturous thing is the child crying. He cries when he is hungry, cries when he wants to sleep, cries when he pees or poops! Regardless of time or place, he cries whenever he wants to. He is so willful! He Yuzhu even said with a smile that he has developed a conditioned reflex now. He jumps off the bed when he hears crying. Every day before going to bed, his ears are filled with the echo of crying!

Chen Zhiguo has never experienced this. Jiang Xiaohua's child has always been taken care of by Wang Meihua. During the day, when Chen Zhiguo is at home, he doesn't feel that he is making a fuss. He doesn't make a fuss at night, and he doesn't cry when he is hungry! In his opinion, taking care of a child should not be a very complicated or tiring thing! The specific taste can only be experienced when he has a child!

Finally, Chen Zhiguo summarized to He Yuzhu that you were too naughty when you were a child. This child is just like you. He was born naughty and likes to make trouble! He Yuzhu was stunned by what he said. He blinked his eyes and looked at Chen Zhiguo aggrievedly, not knowing how to refute!

After the wedding banquet, the aunties in the courtyard naturally helped with things like cleaning up. Of course, their help was not in vain. Xu Damao's mother, Wang Cuihua, divided the leftovers from the big bowl at lunch and gave two extra steamed buns made of two grains of flour to each family. She would not have given more as food is precious now. If it hadn't been for Chen Zhiguo's help, the family would not have been able to afford such a good banquet with the money they had saved!

Xu Damao drank too much at noon and slept in bed for the whole afternoon. He didn't wake up until the evening. When he got dressed and got out of bed, he saw his new wife talking to his mother, and his younger sister Xu Yuling was also there!

"Mom, where is my dad?"

"Your father went to the Intermediate Court to chat with He Daqing and Chen Dayong!"

Li Yuhua poured a cup of hot water for Xu Damao, "Drink some water, does your headache hurt?"

"Not bad, this wine is really good, my mouth isn't dry and my head doesn't hurt after drinking it!" Xu Damao laughed! "How much wine is left at home?"

"There are a little more than ten kilograms left. Your father said he would not return it and kept it for his own drinking! He has been a great help!" Wang Cuihua pointed to the two wine jars in the corner!

"Okay, keep it for drinking! Even it out later, and my dad will take half home!"

"I'll leave them all to you! In a couple of days, you'll have to set up a table and invite Chen Zhiguo and the others to sit down. They've made a great effort!" Wang Cuihua did not agree with Xu Damao's suggestion.

"It's okay, Mom! Zhiguo and I have a good relationship!" Xu Damao said nonchalantly.

"Kid, you don't understand reason at all. People help you with everything, but you even want to save trouble for a meal!" If Xu Damao hadn't gotten married today, Wang Cuihua would have wanted to beat him up. But for the sake of her new daughter-in-law, she spared him today!

Chapter 303 Control!

Seeing that Wang Cuihua looked unhappy, Li Yuhua quickly replied, "Mom, I work at the tobacco and alcohol counter. When I have a chance, I will buy two bottles of good wine and cigarettes and ask Damao to deliver them!"

"That's fine!" Wang Cuihua nodded. This new daughter-in-law is good. She is good at managing the household and can handle the ways of the world. Unlike this bastard son, he is not smart at all. Wang Cuihua was so angry when she saw Xu Damao sitting with his legs crossed and smoking a cigarette!

At this time, Xu Fugui walked in from outside, "Da Mao is awake!"

"Dad!" "Dad!" Li Yuhua stood up quickly.

"Okay! Stop pouring water. I've drunk a bellyful of tea at Old Chen's house!" Xu Fugui stopped Li Yuhua who was about to pour him some water. He was very happy in his heart. This was a good daughter-in-law. She was a hardworking person and had a sharp eye!

"Da Mao is up, we won't stay here anymore, it will be dark soon, let's go back!" Xu Fugui didn't sit down either, he took his wife and daughter and went back!

"Dad, let's have dinner here before going back!" Li Yuhua said hurriedly.

"No, we can rest assured if you two live your life well," Wang Cuihua said with a smile, holding Li Yuhua's hand.

"Oh, Mom, don't worry! We will take good care of ourselves." Li Yuhua said with a smile, her eyes full of happiness.

Wang Cuihua patted Li Yuhua's hand, then turned to look at Xu Damao and said sternly: "Da Mao, you have to listen to me! Yuhua is my daughter-in-law. If you dare to treat her badly or let her suffer any injustice, I will not forgive you!"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry! I will treat Yuhua well and will never let her suffer any grievances!" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Li Yuhua and thought to himself, "This daughter-in-law is so powerful. Look how she coaxed my mother. She just doesn't want my son anymore!"

Wang Cuihua then said to Li Yuhua: "Also, if Damao causes trouble outside and doesn't listen to you, and if someone bullies you, you must tell me immediately and I will help you vent your anger! Although our family is not a wealthy family, we must not let others bully us!"

Li Yuhua nodded with emotion and said, "Thank you, Mom! With you around, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Wang Cuihua smiled with satisfaction, and then reminded again: "You two must support each other, love each other, and live a prosperous life. When you have children in the future, I will help you take care of them!"

Xu Damao and Li Yuhua looked at each other. Li Yuhua blushed. Xu Damao said repeatedly: "Okay, Mom! We will definitely work hard!"

"Let's go. It will be dark if we don't leave now!" Xu Fugui urged. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could never stop chatting!

"Dad, take a jar of wine back to drink?" Xu Damao pointed at the jar of wine.

Xu Fugui waved his hand, "You keep it. You just got married, so spend your money sparingly. Don't be as lavish as before!"

Xu Fugui left with Wang Cuihua and Xu Yuling. Li Yuhua also went into the kitchen to prepare her first dinner in this family.

"Da Mao, what are we having for dinner?"

Xu Damao laughed, finally someone cooked for him, "Wife, I'll eat whatever you cook!"

Li Yuhua blushed when Xu Damao called her "wife" and she turned around and went into the kitchen!

Dinner was simple, hot steamed buns made from flour and some leftovers from lunch, so Li Yuhua made some egg soup!

"Wife, today we are getting married, shall we have a drink together?"

"Row!"

"Wife, don't even think about buying cigarettes or alcohol! Don't bother with that!" After two glasses of wine, the initial strangeness between Xu Damao and Li Yuhua disappeared. Xu Damao warned,

"Why?" As a salesperson at the tobacco and alcohol counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yuhua knew how tight the supply of tobacco and alcohol was now. You couldn't buy them just by having cigarette coupons or alcohol coupons. A lot of cigarettes and alcohol were bought out as soon as they entered the warehouse, so there was no need to even set up a counter!

"Look, do you know what kind of cigarette this is?" Xu Damao took out a pack of unmarked cigarettes from his pocket.

Li Yuhua took it, looked through it, and shook her head, "I don't know, where did you get it from?"

"This was given to me by Chen Zhiguo. Let me tell you, even the director of our steel mill doesn't have cigarettes like this!" Xu Damao boasted.

"So impressive! What does Chen Zhiguo's family do? I heard someone say today that he is the director of a guesthouse, right?"

"His father is Chen Dayong, the director of our steel mill guesthouse!"

"Then there's nothing special about his house, how did he get this cigarette?"

"This is Chen Zhiguo's ability. Don't look at his young age. He is now a deputy-division-level cadre and works in the Design Institute of the Ministry of Industry!" Xu Damao introduced. In his opinion, the higher Chen Zhiguo's status, the corresponding improvement he will make. After all, he is Chen Zhiguo's brother!

"Oh! Is this the reason why you don't let me buy cigarettes and alcohol?" Li Yuhua is not a stupid person, he understood it as soon as he thought about it!

"Yes, he doesn't need any of these things, why should I send them to him? It's not a big deal!" Xu Damao boasted, "I have a very good relationship with him. He drove to pick you up for me today. If it were someone else, who would dare to let a deputy director be the driver? And he helped to arrange all these wedding dishes!"

"You can't ask others to help you for free! Even if we have the best relationship, you should show your appreciation. Otherwise, people will say you are impolite. Who will want to get along with you in the future?" Li Yuhua didn't understand Xu Damao's thoughts. She still wanted to thank Chen Zhiguo according to normal interpersonal relationships. Only when there is give and take can the relationship last long. No one will make unilateral efforts for a long time!

"Chen Zhiguo is a filial person. It happens that his grandparents live here. As long as we can make them happy, it will be happier than giving him anything else!" Xu Damao is a smart man after all. He hit the nail on the head with just one word!

"How about I go get some cloth and make some clothes for them after I get to work?"

"Wife, you are so smart, this is a good idea!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Not to mention Xu Damao’s wedding night, when he was indulged in the land of tenderness, the king never held court early in the morning since then!

The next day, Chen Zhiguo began to move into the steel mill, and the experiment of the new steelmaking furnace officially began! At the beginning, Chen Zhiguo did not plan to produce a large steelmaking furnace of 100 tons, but first built a small steelmaking furnace of 10 tons!

The first thing to do is to draw the drawings of each part, and then send the parts to each workshop for production and manufacturing according to needs!

It took Chen Zhiguo more than a month to produce these parts. When all the parts were ready, Chen Zhiguo stopped a production line in the steelmaking workshop and began to assemble the parts!

Parts production is difficult, but assembly is even more difficult. A ten-ton steelmaking furnace weighs more than ten tons. The most critical difficulty lies in the installation of the bottom-blowing oxygen nozzle, which must run through the entire body of the steelmaking furnace. Installing the oxygen nozzle at the bottom of the steelmaking furnace requires forming a cavity in the molded steelmaking furnace again, and there are also issues of sealing and high temperature resistance to consider!

But there are always more solutions than problems. Many problems encountered during the installation process were solved one by one by Chen Zhiguo. After spending half a month, the steelmaking furnace was finally installed. Chen Zhiguo waved his hand and gave two days off to go back and have a good rest before starting the next experiment!

During this period, Chen Zhiguo has been living in the guesthouse, and his daily life such as food and lodging is also solved in the guesthouse. At first, his sisters would take the initiative to help him with chores such as washing clothes. However, since one day, Chen Xiaohong saw Liu Lan enter Chen Zhiguo's room to wash his clothes, no one came to ask Chen Zhiguo anymore!

After that incident, Chen Xiaohong no longer asked about any matters related to Chen Zhiguo. Instead, all matters related to Chen Zhiguo were handed over to Liu Lan. Whether it was arranging night room duty and delivering midnight snacks, or helping to tidy up the room and other trivial matters, Liu Lan gradually became Chen Zhiguo's exclusive waiter.

As time went on, the others seemed to have acquiesced to this arrangement. Chen Zhiguo's dependence on Liu Lan deepened, and the relationship between the two became closer. Liu Lan sometimes joked with Chen Zhiguo, "I have become your maid. I am here to serve you! I am not here to work!"

Of course, there were also different voices. Some gossip about Chen Zhiguo and Liu Lan was quietly spreading! "If you want to continue working, shut up! If you don't want to do it anymore, pack up and leave immediately!" It must be said that Yu Li was the most domineering! With just one morning meeting, she firmly controlled the rumors.

What's more, more than half of the people in this guesthouse have a close relationship with the Chen family! As the saying goes, "There is no wall that is impenetrable", as long as someone says something, it will spread throughout the guesthouse like wings. After all, most of the employees here have the surname Chen! Everyone is related to each other. So, if anyone dares to speak nonsense, it is simply asking for trouble!

Moreover, this job is easy and comfortable, and the salary is good. Only a fool would be willing to give up such a good job! Therefore, everyone carefully maintains this seemingly calm situation, fearing that they will bring themselves unnecessary trouble or even lose this rare job opportunity because of their quick words.

Chen Zhiguo knew everything in his heart, but he pretended to be ignorant. After all, if even his father Chen Dayong and Yu Li could not control the situation with rumors like this, it only showed that they were still lacking in the management of the guesthouse and their control over the situation was obviously insufficient!

You know, as the person in charge of the guesthouse, you must have strong psychological qualities and the ability to deal with emergencies. In the face of these rumors, you should take decisive measures to stop them, rather than letting them spread. Otherwise, it will not only affect the reputation of the guesthouse, but also lead to a series of adverse consequences. No one wants to let the things that happened in the guesthouse spread out. If so, which leader would dare to eat and stay in the guesthouse?

Now it seems that Dad Chen Dayong and Yu Li still have a good control over the guesthouse and basically have it under tight control!

Chapter 304 Go home!

"Brother! You're finally back!" Chen Xiaoli, the younger sister, who was playing games with her sisters in the yard, saw a familiar figure appearing at her door from afar. She immediately shouted excitedly and ran towards the gate without hesitation!

Hearing the shout, sisters Chen Xiaoyue and Chen Xiaomei stopped what they were doing and followed Chen Xiaoli to run towards the door!

At this moment, Chen Xiaoli was like a happy little bird, she opened her arms and threw herself into Chen Zhiguo's arms. After hugging her brother's neck tightly, Chen Xiaoli couldn't help crying loudly: "Brother, I miss you so much, why don't you come home?"

Seeing his sister crying, Chen Zhiguo couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He comforted her softly, "Brother has been too busy with work recently, so he doesn't have time to come home to see you!"

After that, Chen Zhiguo held his sister in one hand, took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket with the other hand, handed them to Chen Xiaoyue with a smile, and gently said: "Xiaoyue, take it and share it with your sisters!"

"Thank you, brother!" Chen Xiaoyue took it with great joy.

"Xiao Li, it's so hot, don't hug your elder brother. He just came back and must be tired. Let him come in and rest!" Grandpa, grandma, Wang Meihua, Jiang Xiaohua, and Chen Wanyi were all in the living room of the main house. There was a rattan nest and a reed mat on the floor of the living room. He Xiao from He Yuzhu's family was lying in the nest and sleeping, while Jiang Xiaohua's child was lying on the mat and playing by himself. It was Wang Meihua who was shouting just now!

"Grandpa, grandma, mom! Aunt Chen, Xiaohua!" Chen Zhiguo picked up Jiang Xiaohua's child. The child was almost ten months old and was chubby. When he saw Chen Zhiguo holding him, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he giggled and stared at Chen Zhiguo with his big black eyes!

"This child is very close to Zhiguo and is not shy at all. Our old He was busy for more than a week some time ago and didn't have the chance to go home to hug He Xiao. When he had the chance to hug He Xiao, the child cried so hard that he refused to let Old He hug him!" Chen Wanyi said with a smile.

"That's because he's too young. He'll be fine when he grows up!" Grandma replied. Seeing Chen Zhiguo coming back, grandpa and grandma were very happy. Their eldest grandson was busy at work, which showed that the leader valued him. However, if he didn't come home every day, they would worry that he wouldn't eat well, dress well, or sleep well! When she had nothing to do, grandma would scold Chen Dayong and ask him to pay more attention. There were so many cousins ​​in Chenjia Village, and Chen Zhiguo couldn't be asked to do such miscellaneous things as dry cleaning clothes and tidying up the room!

Once, Chen Dayong was really annoyed by what he said, and said sourly, "Mom, don't worry. Your eldest grandson doesn't need me to take care of him anymore. He doesn't even need to ask his cousins ​​for help. He has a maid to serve him. His life is wonderful! He doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to be fed when he eats!"

Hearing that Chen Zhiguo had a girl to serve him, grandma felt relieved. She pulled Chen Dayong to ask about Liu Lan's situation. Chen Dayong thought that since he had started talking, he might as well tell her about Liu Lan's situation. Grandma would never ask about Chen Zhiguo again!

Grandma's problem was solved, but Wang Meihua was in turmoil. She twisted Chen Dayong's waist and said, "Why do I hear your voice is a little sour? What's wrong? Are you jealous of your son? Or do you also want to find a maid to serve you in the guesthouse?"

Chen Dayong suddenly felt that he was being wronged. His son had someone to take care of him, and his mother and wife were happy. He hadn't thought about it yet, but his wife was suspicious. What kind of thing was this?

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it in front of her grandparents. Only when night fell and everything was quiet and silent, when she and Chen Xueru were lying in bed, did she dare to quietly confide her inner feelings to Chen Xueying.

After listening patiently, Chen Xueying couldn't help but chuckled, "You silly girl, you are actually jealous! Do you think you can control Chen Zhiguo? Or do you feel that you have been wronged? Or do you suspect that Chen Zhiguo has changed his mind and no longer likes you?"

Jiang Xiaohua quickly shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "Nothing... I just feel so depressed! Every time I think of another woman serving him, I can't help but think of Chen Weijun. Didn't his mind change after he entered the city?"

Chen Xueying sighed, hugged Jiang Xiaohua tightly, and comforted her, "How can you compare Chen Zhiguo with your previous man? How does Chen Zhiguo treat you? How does your previous man treat you? Can they be compared? I know what you are thinking. You want to be with Zhiguo forever. I want it too, but have you ever thought about it? Zhiguo can be with us now. When he gets married in the future, can we still do this? Can you marry him? Or can I? Neither of us can. We are not worthy of him, so why are you jealous? Now that you have such a good man spoiling you, you should be content!"

Chen Xueru raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile. As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand and quickly and accurately grabbed Jiang Xiaohua's chest.

"Ouch!" Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but scream, her face flushed with shyness, and she said coquettishly, "Sister Xueru, what are you doing?"

Chen Xueru smiled indifferently, with a sly look in her eyes, "You, just focus on taking good care of the little man at home and feeding him well! Don't worry, he can't live without you! So, stop thinking about it all day long!"

Chen Zhiguo didn't know that during his absence, there were still such disturbances at home! At this moment, he was in the living room, talking to his grandparents, telling them what happened in the factory these days!

"Grandson, when you have time, bring that girl back to me?" Grandma's eyes were full of smiles as she whispered to Chen Zhiguo. Grandpa glanced at grandma, shrank his neck, and dared not speak. In the Chen family, it is grandma who is in charge, not grandpa!

"Grandma, who are you talking about?" Chen Zhiguo was stunned when he heard it. He didn't know who it was.

"She's the girl your father said often helps you wash clothes and clean your room! Bring her back and let me see her!" This time, grandma emphasized her tone!
