Siheyuan, don't mess with me

After thinking it over again and again, Yu Li decisively gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​developing a relationship with Chen Zhiguo, and concentrated on holding on to He Yuzhu. People with good conditions are in high demand. Yu Li didn't understand why no one wanted He Yuzhu before, but his current conditions were enough to make Yu Li nod in agreement. No matter what, what you hold in your hands is yours, just like when you steal food in the kitchen, what you eat is yours, and what you see is not necessarily yours and can be easily snatched away. This is the lesson she has learned from many experiences!

Although she was very shy, Yu Li still agreed. Now it’s up to He Yuzhu!

After the nervousness, He Yuzhu did something that even Chen Zhiguo admired. He directly flipped to the back seat and sat together with Yu Li. Chen Zhiguo also secretly gave him a thumbs up. It was really awesome!

He Yushui was very considerate and pulled Yu Haitang, and the two of them squeezed into the passenger seat. Both of them were thin, so they were able to sit down, which made it convenient for He Yuzhu and Yu Li in the back seat!

After leaving the city, the road became bumpy. It was okay if you sat in the front, but if you sat in the back, you could only hold on to the seat to steady your body. He Yuzhu's hand accidentally touched Yu Li's hand. At first they were side by side, and then slowly, the big hand covered the small hand!

On the dirt road, even though Chen Zhiguo drove very slowly on the sunny day, there was still a long cloud of smoke. There was too much dust on the dirt road, so the pedestrians on the road suffered and were covered in dust!

Chen Zhiguo was very careful, but it was inevitable. He couldn't let the car crawl slowly! Today was May Day, and there were quite a few people climbing the Great Wall. Of course, they were all young people with nothing to do. Otherwise, who would run fifty or sixty kilometers to come here!

Just when he was about to arrive, Chen Zhiguo was blocked by a group of young people on bicycles. These people were riding without any awareness and directly occupied the entire road, completely ignoring the jeep behind them. At first, Chen Zhiguo was still patient and waited for them to be aware of themselves. However, as time went by, this group of people seemed not to hear the sound of the jeep behind them and continued to chat and laugh, occupying the road and riding slowly, and slower and slower!

This was intentional. Chen Zhiguo honked the horn directly and continuously, interrupting the conversation of this group of people. They looked back at the jeep angrily, and some young people even raised their middle fingers at the jeep!

Chen Zhiguo stepped on the accelerator hard, shifted from second gear to third gear, the engine roared, and rushed forward. Just as it was about to approach the rear of the bicycle, the two young men occupying the middle position could not hold on any longer. The handlebars of the bicycle tilted, giving up the middle road. The jeep roared past, raising thick dust, turning all these young people into mud men!

"Damn! Catch up!" The hot-tempered young man wiped the dust off his face and pedaled hard. The 28-inch bicycle was accelerating quite fast, and he could reach 20 to 30 miles per hour. However, the more he chased, the more he was deceived, and he was eating dirt behind the jeep. After several attempts, he failed every time. He had no choice but to slow down. Then he had time to look at himself and his companions. They were all in the same state, covered in dust. The bicycle that he had cleaned up brightly when he came, the new clothes he was wearing, and his clean hair and face were all covered in dust. The fine clothes and the fast-moving horse had turned into a man of mud!

Looking at the jeep going away, in the blink of an eye, the jeep has gone far away, leaving only a small back figure! The road here has only one end, which is to the Great Wall. "Chase them, don't let them go!" The young man in the lead got on the bike first and ran forward along the road. The people behind him, after a simple pat, also got on the bike and followed!

Chapter 105 Fighting!

This season is the best time to climb the Great Wall. The weather is not too hot. Climbing up the steep steps, you will see a forest of apricot blossoms. The white apricot blossoms are dotted with red edges, and the flowers are in full bloom! It's a pity that I don't have a camera to take pictures of such beautiful scenery. Chen Zhiguo regretted it and continued to walk up the mountain!

Climbing up the Great Wall, the mountain is steep and the climbing speed becomes very slow. Chen Zhiguo holds He Yushui in one hand and Yu Haitang in the other, climbing in front. Yu Li and He Yuzhu follow behind. It is also He Yuzhu holding Yu Li's hand. This is because they are in an unfamiliar environment. If they were in the city, He Yuzhu could not touch Yu Li at all. But holding hands means that their relationship is already half done. They just need to wait for the matchmaker to come and Yu Li's parents to agree!

At first, Chen Zhiguo thought that Yu Haitang would be embarrassed and would hold He Yushui's hand, but he didn't expect Yu Haitang to directly extend her hand. Not wanting to embarrass her, Chen Zhiguo could only hold her!

Climb all the way, admiring the scenery along the way, and climb to the highest city wall. Standing on the high place and looking around, the long Great Wall stretches forward like a sleeping dragon among the mountains and ridges, winding and twisting. It is magnificent!

"Ah!" Chen Zhiguo suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound could be heard from the distant mountains. He Yushui and Yu Haitang also followed suit, but their voices were too soft and the echo could not be heard!

He Yuzhu and Yu Li did not come up, but rested in the shade on the first floor, talking in private! Not wanting to disturb them, Chen Zhiguo and the other two could only play outside in the hot sun!

At noon, we simply had some snacks. Everyone was a little hungry, but this outing was arranged in a hurry and there was no preparation. Now we could only go down the mountain to take a look and think of a solution!

It's easy to go up the mountain, but hard to go down! Except for Chen Zhiguo, the other people had weak legs to varying degrees! This is a very normal phenomenon. Just go home and rest for a night. If it doesn't work, just lie down for a day!

When Chen Zhiguo got to the parking lot, he was about to start the car when a dozen young men suddenly surrounded the jeep. Some of them were even more aggressive, stepping on the front fender with one foot and slapping the engine cover hard, making a loud clapping sound!

Yu Haitang and He Yushui, who were sitting in the passenger seat, were shaking with fear. "Brother Zhiguo, I'm scared!"

"It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid!" Just as Chen Zhiguo was comforting the two girls, a young man came to the door of the jeep, knocked on the window, and shouted "Get down! Get down quickly!" He looked like he was going to smash the car if you don't get down!

Chen Zhiguo certainly wouldn't tolerate such a situation. He pushed the car door hard, causing the young man next to the door to stagger and almost fall down. He cursed in Chinese, "... Beat the little bastard to death!"

A man walked out of the crowd, and when he showed up, the young people all shut their mouths. It seemed that he was a leader, and he had quite a lot of prestige. "Boy, where are you from?" It was obvious that he learned the tone from an old-timer on the street. His young face pretended to be fierce, which looked a bit out of place!

"What do you care where I'm from? Are you looking for trouble?" Chen Zhiguo was not afraid of this group of young men who were no more than 20 years old. He had fought tigers, caught wild boars, and killed lone wolves. It was a joke that he was afraid of these little hooligans! He pulled He Yuzhu who wanted to come forward and said, "Brother, watch the car." He didn't say He Yuzhu's name because he was afraid of trouble later!

He Yuzhu got out of the car next to him. He Yuzhu was not afraid of fighting. He had fought countless fights since he was a child. To be honest, it was no problem to deal with these young people, three or five of them. In addition, Chen Zhiguo was better than him. It was no problem for him to deal with these kids. Of course, as long as he didn't use his weapons! These young people were not as sensible as those old guns. Once they got their weapons, they really didn't care about the severity of their attacks!

But Chen Zhiguo's arrangement was beyond his expectation, but he didn't have time to argue with Chen Zhiguo. The other side had already started. He Yuzhu thought that if Chen Zhiguo couldn't do it, he would go forward to help. But he didn't know how many people he could defeat if he couldn't even beat Chen Zhiguo. Just as He Yuzhu retreated to the jeep, the young man on the opposite side couldn't hold back his anger.

"I'm giving you face, right?" It was obvious that Chen Zhiguo's tough attitude was beyond the expectations of the leading youth. He was so embarrassed that he didn't care about the previous considerations and swung his fist at Chen Zhiguo.

Although Chen Zhiguo didn't know martial arts, he had quick reactions and great strength. In his eyes, the trajectory of the young man's fist seemed like slow motion. He easily dodged by shaking his head. The young man's punch, with only one-third of his strength, hit him in the abdomen, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting him!

This powerful punch hit the young man like a hammer, and he immediately fell to the ground!

"Let's go together and kill him!" There was a shout from the crowd, and the young people who had gathered around him were filled with passion and rushed forward regardless of anything. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, and a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves, but this saying does not apply to Chen Zhiguo at all. He was seen wandering among the crowd without any fancy moves. After nimbly dodging the attacks of the crowd, his counterattack was very simple, a punch or a kick, as long as he was hit, no one would not fall to the ground. While He Yuzhu was still wondering what was wrong with the car, most of the young people had already fallen.

"No need to come over, just watch the car!" Chen Zhiguo saw He Yuzhu out of the corner of his eye and shouted loudly, there are only a few small shrimps left, it will be dealt with soon!

Perhaps Chen Zhiguo's ferocity made the remaining few lose their courage. Their steps began to wander and they stopped pressing Chen Zhiguo. If you don't come over, I will. Chen Zhiguo chased after them and started to beat them up! Without the momentum, there was no need to fight!

Chen Zhiguo easily knocked all of them to the ground. In fact, none of them were seriously injured, but if others couldn't get up, he would have to face the fierce god if he got up. It would be better to lie down. Who said these people were stupid? You just have to follow the crowd, otherwise you won't be able to mix in this circle in the future!

"What do you think? Are you going to fight me or not? If not, I'll leave!" Chen Zhiguo saw through the hypocrisy of these young people. They were all kids of eighteen or nineteen. Chen Zhiguo didn't use much force. It only hurt a little when he hit them, not as exaggerated as they acted!

The whole place was filled with humming sounds, but no one dared to open their mouths to continue provoking. Chen Zhiguo looked at the group of people lying on the ground pretending, smiled, asked He Yuzhu to get in the car, and drove home!

After watching Chen Zhiguo drive away, the young people, who were sprayed with dust all over their heads and faces, finally got up from the ground. They were not stupid. They knew that they had hit a wall today. If they wanted to take revenge, they would have to wait until next time. Anyway, it would be very easy to find the person after remembering the license plate. These kids all had some power and connections at home, otherwise they wouldn't have a bicycle each! They were yelling that they didn't accept this and didn't do that, as if they wanted to catch Chen Zhiguo and cut him into pieces. In fact, they were very panicked inside. They were just a bunch of paper tigers!

Originally, it was wrong to provoke the car driver, but young people always get excited and full of passion. When they get together, there is a group effect. At this time, they will forget the teachings of their families and rush forward regardless of anything!

But after they sobered up, they all regretted it in their hearts. If it was a middle-aged driver, they would not dare to take action, and at most they would say a few harsh words! But Chen Zhiguo was a young man, and based on the principle of bullying the weak, why do you drive and I ride a bike? I just saw that you were not convinced, so they thought of pulling him down, relying on more than a dozen brothers to support them, saying a few harsh words, or slapping a few times, to avenge the dust! No one expected that more than a dozen people didn't beat one person, not to mention the shame, but also made them calm down, and it seemed that they got into trouble!

Chen Zhiguo is so young, he is definitely not a driver. The only possibility is that he drove the family car out for fun. And with such high skills, it is self-evident what kind of family he can cultivate! Nowadays, it is clear what kind of car can be driven by what level! After thinking about it carefully, everyone regretted it and was worried about getting into trouble! Although they regretted it in their hearts, they still cursed and looked unconvinced, as if they were gathering people to fight. This momentum cannot be lost! They are all young people, and face is the most important thing!

Chen Zhiguo drove the car slowly, "Brother Zhiguo, you are awesome!" Yu Haitang followed He Yushui and called Chen Zhiguo "brother".

"What's so great about me? I'm just a little stronger!" Chen Zhiguo didn't care. He wouldn't be flattered by the praise from a little girl!

"Brother Zhiguo, look!" Yu Haitang stretched out his left hand. Chen Zhiguo took a look and said, "Oh my god, is it so cruel?" In the palm of Yu Haitang's hand, there were more than a dozen valve cores!

"You did it?" Chen Zhiguo didn't expect Yu Haitang to be so bold. "He Yushui and I did it together. They wanted to bully Brother Zhiguo!" Yu Haitang waved his fists, imitating Chen Zhiguo's beating posture.

It turned out that Chen Zhiguo was fighting with them on the left side of the jeep, which was the main driver's side. He Yuzhu was also guarding the door on the main driver's side. Everyone was on the left side, which gave Yu Haitang and He Yushui an opportunity!

He Yuzhu's position also blocked the view of many people. What was really coincidental was that the bikes of these people were parked on the right side of the jeep. Yu Haitang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw them get off the bikes with her own eyes! Yu Haitang, who had played in the car repair shop since childhood, knew that the simplest and least damaging way to make these bikes useless was to pull out the valve core!

Yu Haitang and He Yushui half-crouched secretly, and they divided the work and finished it very quickly! Chen Zhiguo could only mourn for these guys and wish them good health so that they can carry their bicycles for 60 to 70 kilometers!

After entering the city, He Yushui and Yu Haitang had an argument over where to eat. Yu Li didn't dare to intervene, and He Yuzhu didn't dare to intervene, either. They wanted Chen Zhiguo to make the decision, but Chen Zhiguo just passed the buck and said, "You guys just play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins decides!"

Chapter 106: Going to propose marriage!

The winner in the end was Yu Haitang, who was actually a swindler. He Yushui wanted to go to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot, but Yu Haitang wanted to go to Quanjude to eat roast duck. Chen Zhiguo suggested playing rock-paper-scissors, which was actually very fair. The only thing that disadvantaged He Yushui was that it didn't specify how many times would determine the winner!

In the first round, He Yushui's scissors won over Yu Haitang's cloth, but Yu Haitang was shameless and said he had won two out of three rounds!

In the second game, He Yushui's cloth defeated Yu Haitang's hammer. Yu Haitang said that this was the first of three games and the previous one did not count!

In the third round, He Yushui's hammer smashed Yu Haitang's scissors. Yu Haitang wanted to go for the best-of-five system again and asked to start over. Annoyed He Yushui could only deal with losing the game, otherwise Yu Haitang might go for the best-of-ten system!

It was just the right time to go eat at this time. The only advantage of eating roast duck was that you didn't need food coupons. Chen Zhiguo ordered four roast ducks at once. "Can you finish all the roast ducks you ordered?" He Yuzhu asked blankly.

Chen Zhiguo was really worried about He Yuzhu's IQ, and quickly explained, "We'll eat two, one for Yu Li, and the other one I'll take back for my little sister!"

"No, why are you eating and taking?" Yu Li quickly refused, fearing that she would leave the impression that she was greedy.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. Brother Zhuzi is paying for this. Just eat without worry!" Chen Zhiguo knew that it was not appropriate for him to pay, so he handed the burden of paying to He Yuzhu. Although the renovation of the house almost emptied out all of He Yuzhu's savings over the years, there was still money for a meal. When he went out this morning, he deliberately put fifty yuan in his pocket, which was enough for today's consumption!

However, the consumption in Quanjude is really high, which may be because they do not accept food coupons. A roast duck costs eight yuan, and four roast ducks are thirty-two yuan. Chen Zhiguo ordered four hot dishes, which cost more than ten yuan again. This meal will soon cost fifty yuan!

But seeing that He Yuzhu had no expression of heartache at all and Chen Zhiguo's expression was also very calm, it was natural that they would act like this because they had money. Yu Li then felt her own shallowness!

Fortunately, we arrived early. Soon, the hall of Quanjude was full of people. It seems that there are really a lot of rich people here!

Actually, there is really no other way. Meat is hard to buy now. Even if you have a meat ticket, you may not be able to buy meat. You line up in a long line, and before you get to your turn, the pork shop's chopping board is empty. There is no meat for sale! What do you say? Get up at three or four in the morning to line up? There are people who get up earlier than you! Just to buy some meat, you can line up for several days!

So what should you do if you are hungry and want to have a feast? You can only come here to eat duck. At least duck is meat. It is a bit expensive, but it is still much cheaper than pork which costs six or seven yuan per pound on the black market. Moreover, many people’s identities cannot appear on the black market, and they cannot entrust others to do it. What if you meet someone who stabs you in the back and reports you? Don’t you think it’s not worth it just to eat some meat? Therefore, restaurants like Quanjude that do not require food coupons are very popular now and are packed every day!

Even though we arrived early, we still had to wait nearly forty minutes for the roast duck to be served. We had two ducks filleted on the spot and the rest packed up. We used one of the sliced ​​duck skeletons to make salt and pepper, and the other to make duck skeleton soup!

After Chen Zhiguo rolled a pancake for He Yushui and Yu Haitang respectively, he ignored them and started eating by himself. In fact, if he hadn't reminded He Yuzhu to roll the duck meat for Yu Li, he wouldn't have needed to do it at all. He Yuzhu also watched Chen Zhiguo's actions, then he suddenly realized and started to roll the duck meat for Yu Li!

Why did Yu Haitang have to eat roast duck? It was because she had heard others boast in front of her that roast duck was very delicious, and she had been thinking about it all the time. When she heard that they were going to eat at a restaurant tonight, she immediately thought of eating roast duck. In order to achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to beg Chen Zhiguo for it!

Thanks to Chen Zhiguo's demonstration, otherwise, Yu Haitang and Yu Li really didn't know how to eat this roast duck? Yu Li also saw that Chen Zhiguo's sophistication in dealing with people and his high emotional intelligence were not in line with his age, and he gave He Yuzhu a hint without showing off!

This is really not someone she can control. The clumsy He Yuzhu is more reassuring and has a chance to grasp it! The last bit of fantasy she had about Chen Zhiguo disappeared. Yu Li was so young, yet she could be so rational and not vain. This calmness will surely make her great in the future!

Two ducks, four hot dishes, a salt and pepper duck rack, and a pot of duck rack soup, all were eaten up by four people. This was a very common phenomenon at the time. It was shameful to waste food. Even if they could not finish it, they would pack it up and take it away. The restaurant basically could not get some leftovers from customers. It was all about finishing the food!

It was time to say goodbye. He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li reluctantly, "I will find a matchmaker tomorrow and bring her to your house to propose marriage!" Having been single for more than 20 years, He Yuzhu also wanted to hurry up and get married, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" After all, she was only 18 years old and a little shy. Hearing this, Yu Li covered her face and ran to the yard. Yu Haitang said goodbye to them generously, "Brother-in-law, goodbye! Brother Zhiguo, goodbye! Yushui, goodbye!" Carrying the roast duck into the yard, Chen Zhiguo poked He Yuzhu who was still in a daze, "Let's go, go home! If you stand here all night, I don't object!"

"Only a fool would stand there all night! I'm just wondering where to find a matchmaker." He Yuzhu scratched his head. This was beyond his comprehension and he had never encountered this before. "There are two ways. First, the old people in the courtyard know where the matchmaker lives! There is also a more reliable way. Go find Director Wang. She must have a reliable candidate!"

"Then let's go find Director Wang," He Yuzhu of course wanted to be more reliable. Chen Zhiguo drove back home, dropped He Yushui off, asked them to cut the roast duck and eat it, and then took Chen Dayong with him, and went to Director Wang's house together!

Fortunately, we arrived at the right time. Director Wang had just finished dinner and was washing the dishes! When he saw Chen Dayong and his group, Director Wang quickly dropped the bowl in his hand and wiped his hands with the apron around his waist!

"Dayong, you are a rare guest. It's rare to see you come here!"

"Auntie Wang, you don't know my dad yet. He studies his engines every day, and my mom always scolds him at home!" Chen Zhiguo took over the topic and handed a bag of vegetables to Director Wang. "Auntie Wang, these are the vegetables I brought back from my hometown yesterday. They are so fresh. I'll give you some to try!"

It wasn’t something valuable, but Director Wang accepted it anyway. If he wasn’t someone with whom he had a very close relationship, he would never have accepted a gift!

Director Wang poured tea for the three people and said, "What's the matter? Tell me. I know you wouldn't come to my house without a reason!"

"I'm here for the pillars today, too!"

"Oh! Causing trouble again?" Director Wang didn't have a good impression of He Yuzhu. "Look at what you said. Zhuzi has changed for the better. Not long ago, he passed the seventh-level chef exam and became the canteen supervisor. He is no longer as incompetent as before!" Chen Dayong said dissatisfiedly. He has seen the changes in He Yuzhu over the past six months. This child is not a bad child by nature. It's just that he lacked adult guidance in the process of growing up, so he has become incompetent. He will hit anyone he doesn't like and will confront anyone he is not convinced of. His stinky mouth annoys everyone!

"That's great! It would be great if you learned it well. Look, your salary will increase and you will become an official," Director Wang was also happy. It was a good thing that there was one less troublemaker on his street!

"Zhuzi's house has been renovated. When he went out to play today, he met the elder sister of his sister's classmate. The two of them fell in love with each other. So he asked you, the director, to help introduce a reliable matchmaker. This boy wants to go and ask for marriage!"

"This is good news! Where is the girl from? What's her last name?" Director Wang was of course happy. He Yuzhu was already considered an older unmarried young man. If Director Wang could help to make the deal happen, it would also be an achievement for the Street Office!

"His surname is Yu, his name is Yu Li, he is eighteen years old this year, he lives in Che Nian Zi Hutong, his father is a car mechanic!" He Yuzhu replied.

"Old Yu, I know this guy. I've had my car repaired by him before! What, have you taken a fancy to his daughter?"

"Yes, Director Wang, I just want to propose marriage as soon as possible and marry her home as soon as possible!" He Yuzhu's naive answer made Director Wang laugh. "Okay, how about this, you don't have to look for a matchmaker, I will be the matchmaker!"

"Thank you so much, Director Wang!" He Yuzhu was overjoyed. With Director Wang's presence, this matter would basically be no problem, unless Yu Li's parents really looked down on him, which was impossible. If that didn't work, he could just use his money!

While He Yuzhu was at Director Wang's house, Yan Bugui's family was also holding a family meeting. Yan Jiecheng was not young anymore, he was already 20 years old this year. Although he didn't have a formal job, he couldn't put off getting married any longer. If he delayed it any longer, he would be like Sha Zhu, a difficult person! Generally, when a man over 22 years old is dating, the woman will consider whether there is something wrong with the man and why he hasn't gotten married yet!

Yan Bugui knew that given his family conditions and reputation, it would be difficult for Yan Jiecheng to find a wife in the neighborhood, so he asked a matchmaker and offered a high price to impress the matchmaker, otherwise no one would take his order. Too many things had happened in his family in recent times, especially he lost his position as a teacher, and he didn't dare to mention his self-proclaimed scholarly family anymore. Then there was the incident with Li Ruihua. Yan Bugui had to get Yan Jiecheng's marriage done quickly before the news that Li Ruihua was a psychopath spread!

Otherwise, how could Yan Bugui be willing to spend five yuan to impress the matchmaker? The normal price is only two yuan! However, the wool comes from the sheep, and Yan Bugui keeps a record of all the expenses. After Yan Jiecheng gets married, he will slowly settle the accounts with him!

Chapter 107 Car crash!

As expected, money is motivation. This afternoon, the matchmaker came and said that there was a girl in Chenianzi Hutong. She was just eighteen years old. Her father was a car mechanic and her mother was at home. She had a younger sister and a younger brother. Her family conditions were very ordinary, but the girl was very pretty and tall. She could not be called a great beauty, but she could be called a pretty girl!

Moreover, this girl is a good worker. She does all the housework at home and can often do odd jobs outside to supplement the family income. If food were not so tight now, the Yu family would like to keep the girl at home for two years to help with housework!

After listening to the matchmaker's introduction, Yan Bugui figured it out in his mind. The family was generally good and the bride price was easy to negotiate, especially when they were hungry. This way, the bride price could be lowered. Anyway, their family was anxious to marry off their daughter!

In addition, the girl can work and do odd jobs, which means that she is virtuous, can endure hardships, and is very suitable for her family environment. As for the beauty mentioned by the matchmaker, this is not within the scope of Yan Bugui's relationship. He only cares about how much the bride price is and whether the girl is lazy! As long as the conditions are right and she is a woman, it's fine!

As for Yan Jiecheng, when he heard the matchmaker say that the girl was very beautiful, his heart was immediately filled with excitement. He could get married, and a beautiful one at that. What a happy thing it was!

When Jia Dongxu married Qin Huairu, he set a benchmark for these young people in the courtyard. If Qin Huairu had not been a rural hukou, these young people would have been under even greater pressure. Everyone would compare with others, and who would want to be inferior to others?
