Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

In the cold December, the biting cold air permeated the streets. Despite the cold weather, there were still long queues on the streets, and everyone's face was filled with eagerness. Some families even mobilized the whole family, young and old. The reason for this scene was that the street office sent someone to inform everyone last night that the district had allocated a batch of winter vegetables and coal for nearby residents to buy and store so that they could safely get through this severe winter.

"How long do we have to wait?" Wen San shrank his neck, tightly wrapped in the tattered gray cotton jacket, with his hands stuffed into his sleeves, sitting on the seat of the tricycle, and couldn't help muttering.

"Mr. Wen, don't be anxious. Wait a little longer. It should be our turn soon. I'll treat you to a drink after I finish this trip." Zhang Yuan smiled, trying to calm Wen San.

In fact, Zhang Yuan had already stockpiled a large amount of coal and firewood, and even bought a lot of vegetables, but he was always worried that these supplies would run out one day, so he decided to ask Wen San for help and pay him a certain amount of compensation.

In fact, it was not just Zhang Yuan who had such an idea. Almost all the ordinary people who came here were afraid that they had stockpiled less supplies than others. In this tense atmosphere, people's nerves became extremely sensitive.

In order to maintain order at the scene, the police station and the street office staff also came out. They stood aside solemnly and warned those who tried to cause trouble or cut in line that if anyone dared to make trouble, they would have to wait for three days in the "small black room"!

"Look at what you said, but Master Wen, let me be clear in advance, I am only helping you because you are my friend. I will not do anything that is cheap, and I will not covet those glasses of horse urine." When Wen San heard that Zhang Yuan invited him to drink, he was already very happy in his heart, but he said such words.

Zhang Yuan secretly laughed when he saw Wen San's attitude, thinking: This guy is really good at pretending! He is obviously a drunkard, and he can't walk when he hears alcohol. But on the surface, he still hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Wen is so righteous!"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yuan turned his head and saw a petite girl with a pretty face standing there timidly. The cold wind made her cheeks red, and the thin coat on her body rustled in the wind, as if it would be blown down at any time.

"Oh, Yushui, why are you here too?" Zhang Yuan saw that it was He Yushui, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He knew that since He Yushui found out about Zhang Yuan and Yu Haitang last time, she had been avoiding him and not showing up. It was really unexpected that she would show up here today.

He Yushui lowered her head slightly, clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "I... I just happened to pass by, saw you here, and came over to say hello." In fact, she had arrived a long time ago and was queuing with He Daqing. Later, she was still thinking about Zhang Yuan in her heart, and finally she couldn't help it, so she plucked up the courage to come over.

"It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?" Zhang Yuan said with concern as he saw He Yushui was freezing.

"It's okay, I'm not cold." He Yu Shui said stubbornly, but unfortunately a biting cold wind passed by and He Yu Shui couldn't help but tighten his neck.

"You are still trying to be stubborn. Take this and drink some hot water. It will warm you up and can also warm your hands." Zhang Yuan carefully took out the kettle from his cotton-padded jacket and gently handed it to He Yushui.

He Yushui took the kettle a little embarrassedly, blushing and whispering, "Thank you." The kettle was very warm, not only because it was filled with steaming hot water, but also because it was still warm from Zhang Yuan's body temperature. She picked up the kettle and took a sip of the hot water. The warmth instantly flowed down her throat into her body, making her feel warm all over.

"Isn't Uncle He here?" Seeing that there was no sign of He Daqing around, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked He Yushui.

"My dad has come a long time ago. After hearing the notice last night, he went out early. I was bored at home, so I went out to look for him. I didn't expect to meet you." He Yushui explained quickly. At this moment, her mind suddenly recalled what He Daqing said. As a person who has been through it, He Daqing has long seen through his daughter's mind. He knew that He Yushui had a good impression of Zhang Yuan, but because of her shy personality, she was taken the lead by her best friend and classmate, which made He Yushui very depressed recently. Later, He Daqing found He Yushui to talk, constantly cheered her up, told her to face her feelings bravely, and gave her a lot of encouragement and support.

"My Yushui is a beautiful girl, no worse than others! As long as he hasn't got married, you have a chance! Don't talk about friendship at this time. There is only one love. If you like someone, you should fight for it bravely and pursue the happiness you want boldly!" He Daqing saw through Zhang Yuan's future achievements and realized that he would be much higher than now, so he really didn't want He Yushui to regret missing this relationship in the future. In addition, he actually had a little calculation in his heart: first, he was sincerely considering He Yushui's marriage; second, he wanted Sha Zhu to have more people to rely on in the future. After all, Sha Zhu was too straightforward, stubborn, and ignorant of the ways of the world. If He Yushui could get together with Zhang Yuan, Sha Zhu would have more people to help and take care of him in the future, so as not to be calculated by those guys with ulterior motives in the yard.

With He Daqing's encouragement, or brainwashing, He Yushui faced her true feelings and hoped to snatch Zhang Yuan away. Why should she give him to Yu Haitang? She, He Yushui, was the first person to know Zhang Yuan and fall in love with him. In terms of academic performance, she was not inferior to Yu Haitang, and in terms of appearance, she was not much worse than Yu Haitang. The only difference was that she was not as thick-skinned as Yu Haitang.

"Brother Zhang, I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. I wonder when you can invite me to your house for dinner." He Yushui said hopefully.

"Of course, you're welcome anytime. I just told Mr. Wen that I've finished my work today and I'd like to treat him to a meal and a drink," Zhang Yuan said.

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"It's more real than pearls. Don't worry. You can ask Uncle He to come along."

"Okay, my dad and I will definitely come."

At this time, there was a commotion at the back of the team and the police came over, but the noise still did not stop.
