Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Chapter 15 The beginning of the conflict with Shazhu

Li Jianjun took Xiaodang through the middle courtyard and met Qin Huairu: "Sister-in-law, I will take Xiaodang home for dinner. I will send it back to you after dinner. Don't worry."

Qin Huairu was of course not worried. Li Jianjun was so good to Xiaodang, even better than her own father. "I have to trouble Jianjun again. Xiaodang asked many times in the afternoon when Uncle Li would be back. This child."

Li Jianjun smiled and touched Xiaodang's head: "It's okay, sister-in-law, I like Xiaodang, so cute, then sister-in-law, I'm going back."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded, but this scene was seen by Jia Zhangshi who was standing by the window of the Jia family. Her triangular eyes revealed a sinister look, but she did not stop it. She thought that if there was one less person eating at home, she could eat more. She even thought about Li Jianjun calling her to eat, but it was impossible.

Yesterday, she wanted her eldest grandson to go to Li Jianjun's house with Xiaodang for dinner, but Jia Dongxu did not allow it. The men in the city are very concerned about their reputation. Xiaodang doesn't care, she is just a girl, but Banggeng is his son. It would be so embarrassing if people said that he couldn't even raise his son, so Jia Zhang didn't mention it anymore.

Qin Huairu didn't want Banggeng to go either. She didn't want Li Jianjun to hate the Jia family and implicate Xiaodang. She had finally met an uncle who was kind to her, and Banggeng was now beginning to look a bit like Jia Zhang.

Li Jianjun took Xiaodang back home, thinking that they had eaten steamed buns for two days. He was from the south before he traveled through time, and he liked rice more, so he took some rice from the space to cook. This is refined grain, and ordinary people can't afford it. The rice was stewed, and then he played with Xiaodang: "Xiaodang, why don't you wear the new clothes and shoes that your uncle bought for you?"

Xiao Dang bit his finger and said, "Mom said I can only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year."

Li Jianjun thought, if you wear autumn clothes during the Spring Festival, you won’t freeze to death. How many clothes should you wear inside? “Go back and tell mom that your uncle will buy you a new cotton-padded jacket during the Spring Festival. This clothes is for autumn.”

After hearing this, Xiaodang nodded vigorously and laughed happily.

After a while, the rice was cooked. Li Jianjun heated up the fish in the lunch box. Each person had a bowl of rice and ate the fish, feeling comfortable.

Just as I was about to eat, Xu Damao came. The door was not closed, and he walked straight in. "Wow, brother, this is great. Rice and braised fish." Looking at the fish and smelling it, my mouth was watering. I was almost as excited as Xiaodang.

"Brother Damao, let's eat together. There's still rice in the pot, and enough fish. You don't have to cook." Li Jianjun invited Xu Damao to join them.

Xu Damao was not reserved either: "Okay, I'll try your fish, brother. I'm drooling just by smelling it." As he said that, he went to get a bowl of rice.

While eating, Xu Damao told Li Jianjun about what happened on the way back. Li Jianjun poured some fish soup for Xiaodang to soak the rice, and then picked out some fish belly meat without bones for Xiaodang, listening to Xu Damao talking.

It turned out that on the way back, Sha Zhu told Yi Zhonghai and the others about the rumors about Li Jianjun in the factory. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had heard about it, but they had never eaten the dishes cooked by Li Jianjun. However, Xu Damao had eaten it and helped to confirm it. Sha Zhu felt that he and Xu Damao were sworn enemies, and he helped Li Jianjun to speak and deliberately belittle him, but Yi Zhonghai believed it. He had also heard about it, and Li Jianjun did cook at Xu Damao's house on the first day he came. He had some concerns in his mind, but did not say it out loud. After all, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were present, and some things were not convenient to say.

Xu Damao felt that they might do something bad, so he told Li Jianjun as soon as possible so that he could be mentally prepared.

Li Jianjun was very moved. Xu Damao was a really good person. If you were nice to him, he would completely stand on his side. It seemed that he had to win him over completely.

Li Jianjun remembered that Li Huaide was going to treat everyone tomorrow. Drinking requires someone to create an atmosphere. Although Xu Damao's alcohol tolerance was not very good, he was gifted in this aspect. "Brother Damao, my uncle is going to treat everyone to a meal tomorrow. He may need someone to accompany him to drink. How about I recommend you to him tomorrow?"

Xu Damao was flattered: "Oh brother, this is a great favor from you. I will wait for your good news tomorrow. It's a pity that there is no wine today, otherwise I will definitely drink a few glasses with you."

"We are brothers, so don't take this little thing to heart. I will talk to him for you tomorrow." Li Jianjun didn't care but Xu Damao was very moved. This was drinking with the leader. Even if he couldn't rise to the top in the future, at least he would have a reputation with the leader. If there was a chance for promotion, he would have a better chance of winning. If the second uncle knew about this, he would regret it to death for not standing on Li Jianjun's side earlier.

The meal was quickly finished, and Li Jianjun sent Xiaodang home. He did not send her directly to the doorstep, but sent her to the central courtyard. He watched her enter the door and then went back. He did not want to have any intersection with Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi.

At night, when Li Jianjun was lying in bed, Yi Zhonghai quietly came to the deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, I have something to tell you. You know this newcomer Li Jianjun. He is a troublemaker and his background has not been checked out. Now there is a rumor in the factory that he is a much better cook than Sha Zhu. I think it is almost true. Sha Zhu's status in the factory will be gone in the future." Yi Zhonghai sighed. This was something he did not expect.

The deaf old lady was a little confused: "Didn't he say he was a buyer? Why did he go to the cafeteria?"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "I don't know the details, but it seems that I was transferred there."

The deaf old lady thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed a problem. If he is really that powerful, Zhuzi will be in trouble in the future."

After saying that, she stared at Yi Zhonghai for a while, and seeing that he didn't respond, she continued, "I heard from Jinhua about what happened the day before yesterday and yesterday. I've embarrassed you, do you have any thoughts about that?" Jinhua is Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law, an aunt.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that the deaf old lady wanted him to take action. Yi Zhonghai knew that Li Jianjun was not easy to deal with. Besides, Sha Zhu was just a spare tire, and Jia Dongxu was still there. Was it necessary to offend Li Jianjun for a spare tire? He was also weighing the pros and cons.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. The deaf old lady knew that he was weighing the pros and cons, so she didn't urge him. She knew that Yi Zhonghai would figure it out.

Yi Zhonghai also figured it out. The deaf old lady treated Sha Zhu as her own grandson. If he didn't help Sha Zhu, the old lady might just be perfunctory with him on certain things in the future. He had to help.

Yi Zhonghai looked up at the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, Li Jianjun bought a bicycle as soon as he arrived. No one else noticed, but I saw he was wearing a watch. Where do you think he got these tickets from?"

The deaf old lady immediately understood what he was going to do: "You can't go, and neither can Zhuzi. If you go, you will inevitably be accused of retaliation, which is not good for your reputation. Let Jia Dongxu go. Isn't he good for Jia Dongxu's daughter? Let them have conflicts, and it can also prevent some things from happening, so that the Jia family won't stand on his side."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and agreed. He also thought that this was Li Jianjun's way of bribing the Jia family. Little did he know that Li Jianjun simply liked human cubs.

Now that things were settled, there was no need for Yi Zhonghai to stay any longer. He had to go back and think of a plan. The deaf old lady looked at the closed door of Yi Zhonghai and smiled, not knowing what she was thinking.
