Siheyuan, don't mess with me

Are you really going to leave? Lou Qingshan thought of the words that Chen Zhiguo had passed down, Chong'er was born outside, Shen Sheng died inside! This sentence often made him shudder in the middle of the night!

Ignoring Mrs. Lou who was still nagging, Lou Qingshan went back to the study to think alone! When Lou Xiao'e heard that Chen Zhiguo had insulted her father, she was also stunned.

"What should I do? Is Zhiguo angry?" This was Lou Xiao'e's only thought! She was so stubborn that she couldn't control herself. Finally, she took advantage of Lou Qingshan's absence and ran out secretly. She first went to the courtyard and found out Chen Zhiguo's whereabouts. Then she rushed to the gate of the steel mill to wait for Chen Zhiguo!

On the way to Bianyifang, scenes from the past were intertwined with scenes of Chen Zhiguo riding a bike with Luo Xue, sour, sweet, bitter and painful!

All the words I wanted to say were summed up in this one sentence: "Why?"

Chen Zhiguo hesitated, glanced at Luo Xue, and said, "Can you buy me a pack of cigarettes?" Luo Xue nodded and went out. She knew that Chen Zhiguo didn't smoke! But a smart woman wouldn't speak in such an occasion!

After the door of the private room was closed, Chen Zhiguo looked at Lou Xiaoe and said softly, "You are very good, very beautiful, and very innocent! It's just that we met at the wrong time, and we are not destined to be together! I can't protect you!"

"why?"

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was already crying like rain and was heartbroken!

"I can't give you an answer. What I can tell you is that it's not because I have other girls in my heart, it's just that the time is not right!" Chen Zhiguo was also very melancholy. Lou Xiao'e was a very good girl, enthusiastic, cheerful and natural!

"she is not?"

"no!"

"You have it in your mind?"

"not yet?"

"do you like me?"

Chen Zhiguo nodded.

"Do we have a future?"

Chen Zhiguo pondered for a while and said slowly, "Maybe, it will take a long time, probably ten to twenty years!"

"Will you forget me then?"

Chen Zhiguo shook his head!

"Do we really have to go?" Lou Xiao'e was not really stupid. She had studied what Chen Zhiguo said. Do we really have to go to Hong Kong?

"Leave early if you can!"

"Okay! I'll come back to find you!"

Lou Xiao'e wiped her tears, stood up, walked to Chen Zhiguo, opened her arms, and said, "Give me a hug and see me off!" Under the light, Lou Xiao'e smiled, and the tears at the corners of her eyes shone brightly under the light!

Hugging her, Lou Xiao'e also wrapped her arms around Chen Zhiguo's waist, hugged him tightly, put her little face on his chest, listened to his heartbeat, sobbed silently, and wet Chen Zhiguo's front with tears.

"will you miss Me?"

Chen Zhiguo stroked her hair, speechless!

"I will think of you!" Lou Xiao'e continued, her voice becoming more and more choked! After a long time, she rubbed her little face against Chen Zhiguo's chest, raised her head, and looked up at Chen Zhiguo.

"I'm leaving, take care of yourself, remember to think of me and wait for me to come back!" Lou Xiao'e said softly in front of Chen Zhiguo, then she stood on tiptoes, kissed Chen Zhiguo on the cheek, slowly pushed him away, turned around and prepared to leave!

"and many more!"

Chapter 170: The grief of parting makes me confused!

Chen Zhiguo took out a notebook from the space and said, "This is a gift for you. Remember, you can only read it. Destroy it after you finish reading it. If the secret is leaked, I will be dead!"

Chen Zhiguo is soft-hearted after all. If Lou Xiaoe hadn't come to see him, the notebook would not have appeared. But now that things have come to this, he will just treat it as a parting gift for her!

Lou Xiao'e hugged the notebook in her arms, "It's here, I'm here!" She turned around and left the private room. She left so decisively. Obviously different from her previous naivety, Lou Xiao'e has also grown up!

Luo Xue was standing at one side of the hall. After seeing Lou Xiao'e leave, she did not go in immediately, but waited for a while before going in!

Chen Zhiguo is the same as usual, and it is impossible to tell whether he is sad or happy!

"Are you not full? Sorry, I'll treat you next time!" Chen Zhiguo looked at Luo Xue and said sincerely!

"she left?"

"Yes, she's gone!"

Luo Xue put a pack of Huazi in front of Chen Zhiguo. Chen Zhiguo was stunned. That was just his excuse. He didn't expect Luo Xue to really buy some, and the most expensive one. Where did she get the cigarette tickets?

"See an uncle and ask him for it!"

"Give you money!"

Luo Xue rolled her eyes at him, "Please me one more time!"

"it is good!"

Luo Xue smiled! Chen Zhiguo held the cigarette in his hand but did not open it!

"Don't you want to try it? I see that when they are in a bad mood, they either smoke or drink!"

"It's okay! Don't you mind if I smoke?" Chen Zhiguo was actually being superfluous. There is no such thing as smoking being harmful to health. Men can smoke at home at will. I have never heard of a wife controlling her husband's smoking. It's okay on the bus, on the train, and smoking is not prohibited on the plane!

"You must look so handsome when you smoke!" Luo Xue turned into a little fan girl and supported Chen Zhiguo in smoking!

Chen Zhiguo smiled, "I'll keep it! I'll smoke one when I miss you!"

"Okay!" Luo Xue smiled happily!

Lou Xiao'e walked out the door, and a figure blocked her way. "The boss asked me to take you home!"

Lou Xiaoe nodded, and when getting in the car, she suddenly took out a set of car keys and said, "Give it to him!"

"Got it!" A man traveling with her nodded and agreed, helping Lou Xiao'e close the car door. Then, the car sped away!

When Chen Zhiguo and Luo Xue walked out of Bianyifang, they met the man from before, "Here is the key for you!"

Chen Zhiguo took a look at the key in his hand. It was a familiar key pendant, a white jade gourd. It was really arrogant and rich. Chen Zhiguo had played with it last time! After confirming that it was Lou Xiaoe's bicycle key, Chen Zhiguo took it with a smile.

"This stingy woman! She's about to leave, but she's still thinking about this!" Indeed, parting is a big deal. Lou Xiao'e, who was originally in a state of panic, actually still thought about giving him the car keys. It was nothing more than telling him that Chen Zhiguo rode a bicycle with Luo Xue, and she was jealous and envious! Lou Xiao'e gave her own bicycle to Chen Zhiguo, so he couldn't ride a bicycle with Luo Xue! It seems that the scene of Chen Zhiguo riding a bicycle with Luo Xue was a great stimulation to Lou Xiao'e, and she couldn't let it go!

Lou Xiao'e, who was in the car, opened her notebook and saw on the first page:

I am so sad about the farewell that I forget how deep or shallow the wine cup is before I leave. I wish I could rely on the passing geese to get the news. Donglai is not as far away as Penglai.

Lou Xiao'e gave Chen Zhiguo a copy of Li Qingzhao's poems and lyrics at that time, so that Chen Zhiguo would remember this friendship. Now, Chen Zhiguo also gave her a copy of Li Qingzhao's poems in return!

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

The first thing Lou Xiao'e said when she got home was "Dad, I want to go to Hong Kong!"

Lou Qingshan looked at his daughter, her red eyes, her tightly pursed lips, her stubborn eyes. Lou Qingshan sighed, "Okay! Dad will arrange it!"

Lou Xiao'e ran upstairs.

"Master, we really have to send her to Hong Kong. She is just a little girl and it's too dangerous!" Mrs. Lou said worriedly. It's too dangerous to send a daughter to such a far place!

"It's not just her, our whole family is leaving!" Lou Qingshan said coldly.

"what!"

Lou Xiao'e locked the door and then opened her notebook. She looked at the first page for a long time before turning to the next page, "Hong Kong's Future 20 Years", the economic chapter!

Lou Xiao'e originally thought that Chen Zhiguo had written down some things that he was embarrassed to say in his notebook. Now it seems that it was indeed the case, but they were not the love words she wanted!

Late at night! Lou Xiaoe read Chen Zhiguo's notebook, feeling warm, "He has prepared for me! He has thought of everything for me, he has me in his heart, thank you Zhiguo! Thank you for everything you have done for me! Wait for me, I will come back to find you!"

Lou Xiao'e hugged the notebook tightly in her arms. She had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to tell Chen Zhiguo, but she couldn't. She could only stand in front of the window, facing the direction of Chen Zhiguo's home, and whisper to Nan Nan!

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

The first canteen of the steel rolling mill, at two o'clock in the afternoon, usually this time should be the quietest time in the canteen, but today, it is bustling with people!

The news that He Yuzhu wanted to recruit apprentices had spread a long time ago. Not only did several canteens of the right age want to become his apprentices, but many apprentices from other departments of the steel mill also wanted to sign up to become his apprentices! Chefs are one of the eight major staff members and are very popular, especially now that supplies are tight. But as the saying goes, even if you are hungry, you can't become a chef! Many apprentices who didn't have the opportunity to work in the kitchen and entered other departments saw hope and signed up!

As a result, more and more people gathered. Chen Zhiguo quickly asked He Yuzhu to contact the canteen director, and he went to pull Li Huaide over, and directly turned this private apprentice-recruiting activity into an official action!

Fearing that He Yuzhu could not hold the situation, Chen Zhiguo asked someone to call He Daqing over, and the entire apprentice-recruiting activity was held in a cafeteria. There were too many people, so Chen Zhiguo had people make cards, and after registering their names, he gave one to each person. Luo Xue also came over to help, otherwise he really would have been overwhelmed!

There were a lot of people signing up, but many of them were rejected. In order to take care of everyone's feelings, Chen Zhiguo deliberately relaxed the age limit to 22 years old. Even so, there were still many people in their twenties or twenties clamoring to sign up, which shows how popular the profession of chef is!

He Yuzhu was still feeling smug, thinking that it was because of his fame, but was kicked twice by He Daqing next to him. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo was there. If it was He Yuzhu, a fight would have broken out here! Now, with Li Huaide, the canteen director, and He Yuzhu as the judge, I believe no one will be dissatisfied!

After registration, more than 60 people of qualified age were found. Chen Zhiguo gave them good cards and asked them to sit down in the cafeteria. In order to ensure fairness, the selection was held in front of everyone. Ten chopping boards, ten kitchen knives, and several hundred kilograms of potatoes were brought out from the cafeteria. The contestants started to compete according to their numbers. The cut potato shreds would not be wasted, as they could just be fried in the evening! Just as the competition was about to begin, a contestant jumped out and said, "We just want to learn from you because we don't know how to do it. Now you are testing us on how to cut vegetables. Aren't you going to exclude us?"

He Yuzhu was furious and was about to jump out and curse, but was stopped by the quick-witted Chen Zhiguo, "Don't be fooled!"

"Let me answer your question!" Chen Zhiguo stood up.

“I know that many of the comrades who have registered have this question. Let me explain to you why we want to test your ability to cut vegetables!

First of all, being a chef is a profession that not everyone can do. You need to have talent in this area and a spirit of perseverance and dedication!

We will only recruit two people. We will not recruit talented people or people who love to specialize. What kind of people will we recruit?

Only if you like this profession can you cook and practice. You are a grown man who usually doesn't go into the kitchen, but you come here to sign up just because the profession of chef is popular. Why should we accept such a person? After teaching you for several years, you can't cook anything, or the dishes you cook are so-so. Not only you have wasted your time, but also the master's time. You have achieved nothing. Why bother?"

Chen Zhiguo's words made many people back off. The twenty or thirty people who stayed were probably those who had a certain foundation and cooked frequently!

"Okay! Let the game begin!"

Each person has two potatoes, and the knife skills competition begins! It doesn't matter how fast you are! It depends on whether the potato shreds you cut are of the same size and appropriate. If you cut them into chopstick-thick pieces, He Yuzhu will immediately fry a plate for you to eat!

Ten people are divided into groups. After cutting, the results are checked. Those who are good can stay, and those who are eliminated can leave directly. Of course, if you want to continue watching the fun, that's fine. No one will chase you away!

In the end, there were seven people left on the field, six young guys and one young girl!

Next, according to He Yuzhu's idea, another round of elimination took place. He Daqing took a look and said, "Don't bother with it. That girl and that skinny guy are okay!"

"Dad, can a girl do it?" He Yuzhu didn't want to take a female apprentice. He couldn't beat her or scold her. Even when ordering her around, he had to think about whether she could do the work!

"Why not? Wasn't your master the chef of Qingyun Tower back then? She had 20 or 30 people under her. Who would dare to disobey her?"

He Yuzhu thought of that fierce master's wife and shrank his neck. It seemed that she had been scolded a lot when she was a child!

"Zhiguo, are we still going to do that thing?" He Yuzhu pulled Chen Zhiguo aside and asked quietly?

"Look at you. If you choose Uncle He's choice, you won't have to do it!"

"Go!" He Yuzhu didn't want to accept a female apprentice.

"Okay then. I've arranged it!" Chen Zhiguo signaled to Luo Xue, who turned and went out. Not long after, she came back and nodded to Chen Zhiguo!

"Okay, now I need to ask you some detailed information. This is not the right place. Please follow me!"

Chen Zhiguo took these seven people to a row of small houses behind the cafeteria. I called out a name and one of them went in!
