Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

After everyone had eaten, Jiang Chen and the others started to prepare food and vegetables.

Jiang Chen said to He Yuyu: "Thank you for your hard work, classmate Yuyu!"

He Yuyu snorted and said nothing.

Jiang Chen didn't care about her and turned around to find a place to eat.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Tuesday Dan squatting in the distance, holding a steamed bun in his hand and putting it into his mouth.

There is a bowl of tea beside him.

The nose kept stirring, smelling the aroma of the food, eating a big mouthful of steamed buns, and drinking a small sip of tea.

Jiang Chen frowned and came to his side: "Tuededan, why are you just eating this? No one will bring you food?"

The tone was somewhat unkind.

Tuesday Dan was startled and quickly explained: "No, no, I'm not in good health and I can't help much. I don't deserve to eat."

Due to a deformed hand, he was often looked down upon in the orphanage, and his low self-esteem was engraved in his bones.

Even though he entered the No. 3 Steel Plant and became a fourth-level worker, doing better than most, he still felt inferior.

Jiang Chen said angrily: "That's nonsense. What does it mean to be unworthy?"

"I'll just tell you one thing. If others look down on you, you can prove yourself with practical actions and trample them under your feet. If you look down on yourself, your life will be completely over."

"I'm done, you decide what to do. I've always been very optimistic about you, but don't let me look down on you now."

Zhou Dan was stunned for a moment, his body began to tremble, and he was obviously struggling mentally.

After a while, Tuedan seemed to understand something and stood up: "Thank you, Director Jiang."

Then he turned around and walked towards Zhao Dongsheng: "Please give me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

The real person seems to be more confident.

Zhao Dongsheng, who was eating, quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Zhou Dandan: "Brother, why are you here?"

Then he saw the problem with his hand: "Brother, let me help you get food. You sit down here."

Jiang Chen said, "Let him do it by himself. He can do what others can do, and he can do it better than many people."

Zhao Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, then handed the bowl and chopsticks to Zhou Dandan.

"Thank you!" Zhou Dandan reached out and turned around to get some rice.

The back is straight.

Jiang Chen then squatted down to eat.

Just after taking two bites, Lei Jie came over with a bowl: "Brother Jie, just now my mother was quick to talk and told He Yuyu about the matter."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Haha, good thing! How did He Yuyu react?"

Lei Jie said: "I didn't say I agreed or refused, I just said I wanted to think about it again."

Jiang Chen said: "That means there is a chance. Is there anything different about her before and after we talked about it?"

Lei Jie thought for a long time: "It seems not, it just makes it more rude to wake me up."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then this matter is close. In a few days, you can come over when you are free, call Uncle Lei and Auntie, treat He Yuzhu to a drink, show him your cards, and settle the matter!"

Jiang Chen turned back and glanced at He Yuyu, and happened to see He Yuyu's eyes looking this way.

Lei Jie said: "Is this matter a bit urgent?"

Jiang Chen said: "If He Yuyu doesn't study, I can give you more time to cultivate your relationship."

"But now she is studying, and you have few opportunities to meet each other. It is not easy to cultivate a relationship, so it is best to cut the knot quickly."

Lei Jie nodded: "Okay!"

Jiang Chen added: "In the future, you have to find a way to read and write. I am at least a high school student. You can't type without knowing everything."

"When He Yuyu is free, go find her and let her teach you so that you can have more opportunities to get along with her."

Lei Jie nodded again.

At this time, He Yuyu also came over with a rice bowl and said to Lei Jie, "You go over there to eat. I have something to talk to Brother Chen."

"Okay!" Lei Jie agreed, turned and left.

He was really obedient and walked far away.

Jiang Chen asked: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

He Yuyu snorted: "Brother Chen, I have always trusted you so much, and you just sold me out like this?"

Jiang Chen said: "What you said is right, what is selling out?"

"I have found a good match for you. Lei Jie is reliable, down-to-earth, honest but cheerful, but sometimes he can't turn his head around."

"As for you, you are smart and independent, but you are a little lazy and need someone to control you."

"You two complement each other perfectly. What a perfect match. Your looks match each other. Even if you are noisy all day long, your life will not be boring."

He Yuyu snorted again: "But you can't just decide the matter without asking for my opinion, right?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "This matter is not decided. If you don't nod, no one can decide."

"Originally, I thought about taking some time to communicate with you, but his mother was quick to speak and said it directly. But this is good. Let's open up the skylight and speak openly so as not to delay each other."

"If you think Lei Jie is not suitable, just tell me. It doesn't matter. He won't hold a grudge against you. If we can't be lovers, we can be friends, right?"

He Yuyu quickly stopped: "I don't look down on it, I just think it's going too fast."

Jiang Chen said: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm not asking you to get married right away, or I'm asking you to get married first. If you feel it's not suitable anymore, you can cancel the engagement."

He Yuyu said: "Let me think about it. Once I decide, I will not cancel the engagement."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, think about it carefully."

He Yuyu sighed: "If Lei Jie was as good and handsome as you, I wouldn't hesitate."

Jiang Chen said: "What are you thinking about? If you are as good as me and as good-looking as me, wouldn't it be better to choose someone like Luo Xue Liuyue?"

"Ahem, I don't mean anything else, it's just, um."

He Yuyu nodded: "I understand that it is important for people to be self-aware. You can find a partner according to your conditions. You cannot live in impossible fantasies."

After saying that, He Yuyu stood up: "Okay, let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

After dinner, Jiang Chen let everyone rest for a while before continuing to work in the afternoon.

There is strength in numbers, and at the end of the day, dozens of acres of land that were barren in the morning have turned into cultivated land as darkness approaches.

After lunch, Jiang Chen asked Liu Yue to announce the end of work, go home and have a good rest, and work hard tomorrow.

After everyone left, Li Guangfu brought You Fengxia over to say goodbye: "Director Jiang, we brother and sister will leave first. Thank you for your hospitality."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Director Li, I thank you for your help. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Guangfu laughed and said: "Forget it, we brothers, don't be polite and let's go! You should go back and rest early."

You Fengxia said: "Director Jiang, what else do you need recently?"

Jiang Chen said: "Well, I also need a bicycle ticket. Please help me pay attention to it."

"My mother and cousin may often run here in the future, so it will be more convenient to have a bicycle."

You Fengxia said: "What do I think I am? Leave it to me."

After everyone left, the family went back.

However, Luo Xue was not on his way, so Jiang Chen told Lei Jie that he must deliver Luo Xue to his door before he could go home.

Lei Jie nodded: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely send the second sister-in-law home."

Without outsiders, Lei Jie didn't have so many scruples when speaking.

Liu Yue said: "Sister-in-law is just sister-in-law, and sister is just sister-in-law. Why did a second sister-in-law appear?"

Lei Jie said: "You are the eldest sister-in-law, so of course she is the second sister-in-law!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "She is already two, so don't add two to her name. Just call her sister-in-law when there is no one around."

"Of course, given the relationship between your two families, it doesn't matter if you call me Xiaoxue."

Luo Xue snorted: "You are only two."
