Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

After all, He Yuzhu is the best chef in the steel rolling mill. When I treat people to a meal, I still need him to make me look good!

As the de facto controller of the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide no longer cares about the meager profits from the canteen.

Now that He Yuzhu is taking the initiative to get closer to him, Li Huaide naturally won't let the olive branch fall to the ground: "Go tell He Yuzhu, let's do it tomorrow night! If he's not satisfied with the food, I won't let him off the hook."

"Don't worry, I've definitely delivered the message." Liu Lan turned and left Li Huaide's office.

After getting off work, He Yuzhu went home and went straight to Xiao Shan, asking him to help her get some ingredients.

Although He Yuzhu had prepared quite a lot of ingredients himself, he still wanted to prepare a little more just to be on the safe side.

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xiao Shan naturally nodded in agreement: "Brother Zhu, I'll get you some ingredients before work tomorrow afternoon!"

"Xiaoshan, thank you so much!" He Yuzhu said gratefully.

"Given our relationship, it's too formal to say that!" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "I'd like to wish Brother Zhu a promotion in advance, that he becomes the head of the cafeteria!"

"It's not even close to being done yet!" He Yuzhu waved his hand modestly, but the smile on his lips betrayed him.

After He Yuzhu left, Xiao Shan went to the kitchen, took out some of the ingredients he had put in his backpack in the chat group, and packed them in a bag.

The next day, Xiao Shan handed the bag to He Yuzhu when he went to the cafeteria for lunch.

In the afternoon, after everyone in the cafeteria had left, He Yuzhu began to busy himself with preparing to entertain Li Huaide.

When Li Huaide and Liu Lan arrived for dinner, He Yuzhu had already prepared a large table of dishes.

Looking at the large table of dishes, Li Huaide couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

He Yuzhu invited Li Huaide to sit down, and then carefully accompanied him to eat.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Huaide put down the cup in his hand and smiled at He Yuzhu, saying, "Zhuzi, your skills are getting better and better. It's just that the highest level you can achieve at the steel rolling mill is level six, otherwise, with your skills, you could definitely get even higher! Haven't you ever thought about leaving the steel rolling mill and finding a job at a big restaurant?"

This was also a test by Li Huaide. With He Yuzhu's current skills, even if he left the steel rolling mill, there would be plenty of places that would want him.

The wages might even be higher than what the steel rolling mill offers.

He Yuzhu wasn't stupid; he understood what Li Huaide meant: "Factory Director, I've been working in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill since I was a teenager. The steel rolling mill is my root! I've been here for so many years, and I'm used to it."

"Besides, I don't want to leave here. It's my honor to cook for the workers every day. I'd do it even if they didn't pay me."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Huaide laughed heartily: "Zhuzi, I didn't expect you to have such high awareness! But don't worry, our steel rolling mill is not a sweatshop that mistreats those who have made contributions, and we won't withhold wages!"

He Yuzhu poured wine for Li Huaide and asked cautiously, "Factory Director, our canteen manager has retired. I wonder who the next canteen manager will be?"

“Zhu Zi, Old Zhao recommended you to me when he retired!” Li Huaide said to He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu immediately perked up: "Factory manager, you can rest assured about the canteen! I'll handle it perfectly, ensuring that every guest who comes to the steel rolling mill eats well and with peace of mind!"

Li Huaide was quite satisfied with He Yuzhu's assurance.

Three days later, the notification that He Yuzhu had been appointed as the canteen director came down.

Overjoyed, He Yuzhu immediately went to express his gratitude to Li Huaide.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu prepared a meal at home and invited Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Shan over for dinner.

When Xu Damao learned that He Yuzhu had been appointed as the canteen director, his eyes were red with envy!

He knew Director Li earlier and had a closer relationship with him, so why did Director Li promote this fool Zhu but not him?

This puzzled Xu Damao greatly!

Liu Haizhong was somewhat depressed after learning the news.

Originally, he was the first person in the compound to become an official after becoming the head of the disciplinary team!

But now He Yuzhu's official rank is clearly higher than his own, which makes Liu Haizhong very uncomfortable.

A few days later, Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan returned to the courtyard after get off work and saw a large number of people gathered in the central courtyard.

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoding, you're back!" Auntie San greeted Xiaoshan and Ding Qiunan with a smile as they returned.

Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity, "Third Aunt, why are you all gathered here? Did something happen?"

"That's why Da Mao's family started arguing again, constantly talking about divorce, so Second Uncle decided to hold a meeting to resolve the issue," Third Aunt explained.

Xiao Shan nodded and returned home with Ding Qiunan.

After parking their bicycles, the two took their stools and returned to the central courtyard.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard gathered around, ready to become bystanders.

Yi Zhonghai has not yet regained his old-fashioned status and is huddled in a corner, barely noticeable.

After glancing around, Liu Haizhong said, "It seems everyone is here, so let's officially begin the meeting! The main reason for this meeting is that Xu Damao and Qin Jingru are always arguing!"

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, you want to divorce Qin Jingru, is that right?"

“That’s right! Second Uncle, I can’t live with her anymore!” Xu Damao said without hesitation. “She can’t have my children, and I can’t let my family line die out because of her!”

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, before anyone else could speak, Qin Jingru was the first to stand up and object: "I do not agree to a divorce!"

Qin Huairu also spoke up for Qin Jingru, saying, "Second Uncle, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e have only been divorced for a short time, and he's already divorcing Jingru. Isn't that just fickle and greedy?"

"Qin Huairu, you can't just say things like that!" Xu Damao immediately retorted upon hearing Qin Huairu's words.

Liu Haizhong nodded and looked at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, you said Xu Damao is fickle, but what evidence do you have?"

"Second Uncle, although I don't have any evidence, quite a few people at the steel mill have seen Xu Damao hanging out with Yu Haitang all the time, chatting and laughing!" Qin Huairu said seriously. "Second Uncle, this kind of womanizer should be dragged out and criticized!"

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Damao with an unfriendly expression: "Xu Damao, is what Qin Huairu said true?"

Xu Damao knew perfectly well that Liu Haizhong was capable of anything to become an official!

If my affair with Yu Haitang is confirmed, then that old bastard will really arrest me and make me a target of criticism!

Xu Damao then cried out that he was wronged: "Second Uncle, things are not as Qin Huairu said!"

"So what happened?" Liu Haizhong's gaze swept over Xu Damao from head to toe.

Xu Damao's mind started racing: "Second Uncle, as you know, I'm in the publicity department. Although my main task is to show movies, I also do other publicity tasks, like writing articles. Yu Haitang and I were just discussing work!"

"There are so many people watching at the steel rolling mill. If we had done anything wrong, they would have caught us long ago!"

Liu Haizhong nodded slightly, agreeing with Xu Damao's assessment.

At this moment, He Yuzhu, who was holding a child, said disdainfully, "Xu Damao, do you dare to say that you won't marry Yu Haitang after you divorce Qin Jingru? If you don't dare, then it means that what you're saying now is all bullshit!"

"He Yuzhu, mind your own business! My family matters are none of your concern!" Xu Damao said angrily to He Yuzhu. "Who I marry after divorcing Qin Jingru is my freedom, it's none of your business!"

Seeing that Xu Damao's words seemed reasonable, Liu Haizhong didn't know what to do.

Then he looked at Xiao Shan and asked, "Xiao Shan, what do you think about this?"

"This is Mao's family matter, so I shouldn't say anything!" Xiao Shan shook his head and said, "Besides, Second Uncle and Third Uncle can handle it, so I'd better not cause any trouble!"

Helpless, Liu Haizhong could only whisper a few words to Yan Bugui.

Then, looking at Xu Damao, he said, "Xu Damao, if you get divorced again, it will be your third marriage. This will not only have a bad impact on you, but also on our courtyard. You should think about it more!"

"Da Mao, I'll listen to whatever you say, just don't divorce me!" Qin Jingru looked at Xu Da Mao with pleading eyes.

Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything more at this point, and could only nod to Liu Haizhong and say, "Second Uncle, I'll listen to you and think about it some more!"

Seeing Xu Damao hand him the present, Liu Haizhong was naturally pleased: "Now that the matter is resolved, let's adjourn the meeting!"

Although Xu Damao said he would think about it some more, he wouldn't let Qin Jingru go home to live.

Therefore, Qin Jingru could only stay at Qin Huairu's house temporarily.

The Jia family was already short of housing, and Qin Jingru's arrival made things even more difficult.

Moreover, Bang Geng has now grown into a big boy, and it's inappropriate for him to live with a family of women.

Seeing Qin Jingru lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) looking miserable, Jia Zhangshi pulled Qin Huairu to the outer room: "Huairu, the children are getting bigger and bigger, and these two rooms are really not enough for us! It's also inconvenient for Banggeng to live with us."

"Mom, I know, but there's nothing we can do. There aren't any extra rooms in the yard," Qin Huairu said helplessly.

Madam Jia glanced into the inner room, then lowered her voice and said, "Doesn't Master Yi have one?"

Chapter 282, The Battle of Red Cliffs: One General's Success Built on the Bones of Ten Thousand! (Please Subscribe!)

Qin Huairu immediately understood what Jia Zhangshi meant.

Banggeng is Yi Zhonghai's godson. Now that his godson doesn't even have a place to live, Yi Zhonghai naturally can't stand idly by.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai's house will be completed sooner or later, so letting him move in now is just to let him get familiar with it in advance.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said to Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, this matter can't be rushed. I need to find an opportunity to talk to Uncle about this."

Madam Jia looked towards the backyard and said, "That old woman in the backyard is quite old, and it's another house! Once she's dead, our family will have more space."

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu's expression immediately changed: "Mom, you can't say such things, or we'll have a hard time explaining ourselves!"

"Besides, it's still uncertain whether the house will even go to the old man! The old lady treats He Yuzhu like her grandson, and now that He Yuzhu has three children, the old lady might just give the house to him!"

Madam Jia frowned, feeling that Qin Huairu's words seemed to make sense.

The people in the courtyard who treated the deaf old lady the best were Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu.

The deaf old lady will definitely leave the house to one of them before she dies.

However, Yi Zhonghai has no descendants, so he doesn't need to worry about housing.

He Yuzhu has three children, and even if we include He Yushui's house, it won't be enough in the future.

Therefore, the deaf old lady will most likely leave the house to He Yuzhu.

"Mom, how about we send some of our delicious food to the old lady in the future?" Qin Huairu asked Jia Zhangshi.

Madam Jia glared at Qin Huairu: "You might as well just throw it into the Yongding River, at least you'd hear a splash! That old man is so cunning, how could he not see through your little trick?"

"Let's let Banggeng stay at Uncle Yi's house first, so that Banggeng has a place to live on its own!"

Qin Jingru cried for a long time in the inner room, but no one comforted her, and she couldn't cry anymore.

So he came out of the inner room and said to Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, "Sister, Aunt, you two quickly give me some advice. I don't want a divorce."

"As long as Damao doesn't divorce me this time, I will definitely repay your family well."

Madam Jia rolled her eyes: "You said the same thing last time, but what was the result?"

Although Qin Huairu was also a little fond of her cousin, she was still family and she couldn't just ignore her.

If I don't take care of it, and Qin Jingru goes back to Qin Family Village and spreads the word, then I won't have the face to go back to my parents' home!

After pondering for a moment, Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru, who was looking at her expectantly, and said, "Jingru, I don't have any ideas for the moment! Why don't you wait a bit, I'll go ask Uncle Yi! If that doesn't work, I'll ask Xiao Shan, he has a lot of ideas."

“You should stay away from Xiaoshan. That kid is ruthless. Don’t let him ruin our family,” Jia Zhangshi said to Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhangshi still remembers when she was forced to quit taking painkillers, and Xiao Shan was partly responsible for that.

Qin Huairu also knew why Jia Zhangshi disliked Xiaoshan.

However, from Qin Huairu's own perspective, Xiao Shan actually helped the Jia family a lot.

Whether it was making Yi Zhonghai take Bang Geng as his godson or the matter of Jia Zhangshi quitting painkillers.

Of course, since Jia Zhangshi had said so, Qin Huairu wouldn't go against her: "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll go ask Uncle Yi!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Shan was cooking dinner at home.

After the couple finished dinner, Xiao Shan prepared to go for a walk as usual.

As a result, a notification popped up in the chat group: "Liu Bei has started a live stream."

When Xiao Shan entered the live broadcast room, he found that the room was illuminated by the firelight and was a sea of ​​red.

Yue Buqun: "Is this Zhou Yu's Battle of Red Cliffs? It's truly magnificent!"

Liu Maoxing: "It is magnificent, but thinking about the 800,000 Cao soldiers who perished in the flood, it is really quite cruel!"

Ying Zheng: "The success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers; this is the price behind victory!"

In the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, at Liu Bei's army camp.

At this time, Liu Bei had already dispatched all his troops, leaving only five hundred personal guards and a group of civil officials, including Zhuge Liang, in the main camp.

Seeing Liu Maoxing's comments in the live stream, Liu Bei's expression changed slightly.
