Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

In the evening, Xiao Weiguo returned home with the house deed and left it on the table, which frightened Qin Jingru.

"Weiguo, did you get into trouble at the factory?"

"You have worked hard for the factory over the years, even if you have made no contributions. They can't just abandon you like this!"

"In the most difficult times, if it weren't for you, there wouldn't even be any meat in the factory cafeteria. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would have starved to death!"

"At this moment, actually..."

Qin Jingru poured out all her indignation, and even though Xiao Weiguo waved his hands, he couldn't stop her.

"Jingru, you misunderstood! It's Grandpa who won't play with them anymore! From today on, I will take care of you guys!"

When Xiao Shiqian and Xiao Shiqi heard this, they rushed out from the inner room, "Dad, I want to eat spicy food today. Mom has no appetite these days, and spicy food will stimulate her appetite!"

Xiao Shiqi's silly and cute look was very adorable, and Xiao Weiguo couldn't help laughing when he heard his baby voice.

"Haha, my dear son, I will fulfill your little wish today. Go to the middle courtyard to find your uncle and ask him to make delicious food for you."

When the children heard that they could eat delicious food made by the chef again, they jumped for joy.

"Great, Sister Xiaodang, we are here!"

Xiao Shiqian took his brother and ran all the way to Sha Zhu's house in the central courtyard without waiting for Xiao Weiguo.

"Sister Xiaodang, we haven't had dinner yet!"

Qin Huairu stood at the door and watched the two children running towards her, feeling both like crying and laughing.

Xiao Dang quickly ran out from the inner room with his sister He Jingjing, "Brother, come in quickly! My dad made braised pork elbow in soy sauce today, it's absolutely amazing!"

Xiaodang's shout immediately caused the Intermediate Court to boil.

Although Qin Huairu hinted to the children to keep their voices down, she couldn't stop the children's enthusiasm.

Children will get excited when they hear that there is something delicious.

But the Jia family, who lived in the Central Courtyard, could no longer sit still.

They have braised pork over there, but my family can only have coarse grain porridge and white flour steamed buns?

I won't do it!

Although Jia Zhang was full of resentment and her face was longer than a donkey's, she did not curse out loud. Her arrogant character had been worn away over the years.

Knowing that he would be restrained if he made a move, he simply kept his head down and focused on his work.

"Grandma, do you want to eat meat?"

Just when Jia Zhang was secretly worrying, Bang Geng actually spoke.

Zhang Cuifang was very surprised and said what nonsense this child was talking about!

"Bang Geng, you just came back so you can't cause any trouble. Let's stay away from them! Grandma will get her salary in a few days, and then we can have meat!"

Although Zhang Cuifang has been an apprentice and has not passed the exam, her salary has increased twice in the past two years. Her salary is enough for her family of three to have a delicious meal of meat.

However, Bang Geng smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of disdain.

"Grandma, look at how thin my dad has become. He's only got a breath of fresh air left. My mom is living a life of luxury over there. She's rich and powerful, and she doesn't need a bite of ours. Wait, I'm going to take it!"

As he spoke, Banggeng picked up his coat and put it on as he walked, and even pulled up his collar when he reached the door.

This really confused Zhang Cuifang!

OK?

This job was previously done by Qin Huairu, so how come now that the situation has changed, has Banggeng taken over this job?

He could understand this filial piety, as it was meant to provide food for the two old people!

But Qin Huairu had severed ties with Banggeng a long time ago, so how could she still have the heart to give alms?

Zhang Cuifang looked at Jia Dongxu with a puzzled look, but Jia Dongxu understood everything at this time. He just moved his neck a little, and his body was so stiff that he couldn't move a step.

At He Yuzhu's house, the food cooked by Chef He himself is bound to be a classic.

The aroma of the dish could already waft two miles away before it was even out of the pot.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, your work is getting better and better, and your skills are great! Come back and work for me, I guarantee you'll earn more than you do now."

This was the first time that Xiao Weiguo formally invited He Yuzhu, but silly Zhu kept shaking his head like a rattle.

"Comrade Xiao Weiguo, what are you doing now? Are you trying to undermine socialism? I'm doing well in the factory. The logistics director has informed me that I have a chance to run for deputy director of the canteen! Oh, I'd rather not take such a high-ranking position than to waste my time and life with you? It's not worth it! I won't do it! Don't set your sights on me!"

Xiao Weiguo was very angry when he heard this, and he wanted to hit him with a stick on the spot.

"He Yuzhu, with your old way of thinking, can you earn enough money to support a large family? Just wait for your daughter to starve to death with you in the future!"

Xiao Weiguo kept cursing, but Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were already used to the way they spoke. They didn't know how to speak properly, and just spoke in Chinese quintessence.

"Humph, I can't even beg for food at your doorstep!"

Xiao Weiguo was so angry when he heard this that he kicked him on the spot, "Okay, I'll remember this. Next time you go begging, go around and don't ever come into my house!"

Sha Zhu chuckled a few times and felt that his choice was the most prudent one.

"Weiguo, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You are the head of the purchasing department and are about to be promoted to the director of the logistics department. What made you decide to give up your official position and open your own store? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

In Sha Zhu's opinion, stability is the most important thing. What if the store loses money? It is better to sit firmly in the position of director of the logistics department. If it were him, he would not change it even if he was paid!

"Hey, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on yourself. You just want the title of team leader, don't you? Well, come to me and I'll make you deputy manager! You're second to none!"

Sha Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief, "You're still above one person and below ten thousand people, as if you were running a factory. As for me, I've made up my mind. Committing myself and not moving is the best choice!"

Sha Zhu once again rejected Xiao Weiguo, thinking that he had finally made it to the highest leadership level in the canteen, and he must not give up!

Several people in the room were chatting happily and the food was served on the table.

Just as we were about to start eating, we heard a knock on the door.

"Jingjing, open the door!"

Sha Zhu shouted, signaling Lao Er to open the door.

As the eldest sister, Xiaodang was very considerate of her younger sister and said, "Sister, you sit down and eat. I'll go open the door!"

Then Xiaodang went to open the door himself. When the door opened, he was shocked.

"You...brother!"

The little girl subconsciously called out "brother", which made Qin Huairu's hands tremble involuntarily, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a snap.

Xiao Weiguo frowned and glanced back. Although he saw Banggeng smiling with his standard big white teeth showing, he still felt something was wrong.

"Why...are you here?!"

Xiaodang spoke very carefully, and then turned around to look at Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu coughed twice, struggling internally.

This child came to me on his own initiative. Even if they are not my biological mother or stepfather, we live in the same courtyard and cannot hit someone who smiles at us!
