Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

"Liu Haizhong, you are a blacksmith in the workshop, right?" Li Huaide asked.

Liu Haizhong immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Deputy Director Li, I am a level 7 blacksmith in the workshop."

Li Huaide called him "Deputy Factory Director" all the time, grinning in his heart, "No wonder you don't understand the ways of the world because you haven't been an official."

"You go to the workshop to work first. I will think about it later after I know about this matter."

“I’ll give you an answer when I have time. Go back to the workshop to work.” Then he sent Liu Haizhong away. Liu Haizhong took the gift and went out.

Li Huaide opened his mouth with some distress, but shook his head and said nothing.

After Liu Haizhong left, he called Secretary Li over and said, "Go and find out what's going on between Liu Haizhong and Director Yang, and why they came to me to give me a gift."

"Okay, Director, I'll go right away," Secretary Li was also surprised by Liu Haizhong's strange way of giving gifts, and was afraid that there was some conspiracy, so he hurried to inquire.

At this time in the Street Office, Director Li was sitting in a chair thinking about what Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had said to her in the morning.

After thinking it over, Director Li didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

"Knock, knock, knock," there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," the deaf old lady walked in from outside the door.

"Why are you here, old lady?" No matter whether Director Li was satisfied with the deaf old lady or not, he still had to do his surface work and quickly asked the old lady to sit down.

"Director Li, I just wanted to ask you what I should do about my meals. There was a meeting in the yard yesterday, and Qin Huairu didn't intend to take care of me, so I didn't eat much yesterday," the deaf old lady came up to complain.

Director Li listened to her words and thought to himself that if Qin Huairu didn't really want to eat meat, she would not ignore you. But she still said, "Old lady, I'm thinking of a solution. How about this? Otherwise, you can come to the street office to eat temporarily. Leave the food coupons and food at the street office and we'll think of a solution later."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she immediately refused to do it. She was still counting on these food coupons to exchange for money to buy meat.

If she put everything at the street office, she would have no hope. "No need, Director Li. That would be too much trouble for the street office. Besides, I'm an old lady with weak legs and feet and poor hearing. How can I come to the street office every day to trouble you?"

"Yi Zhonghai is back. Although he is disabled, he can still cook some food and send it to me occasionally. He also took care of me in the past. Now he will do it for me when I can't take care of myself anymore."

"Yi Zhonghai can still take care of you. Doesn't he live a tight life? And he can still bring you food." The deaf old lady didn't know that her words aroused Director Li's suspicion.

"Okay, since you let Yi Zhonghai take care of you, then just give it a try first. Taking care of the five-guarantee households can be considered as his way of redeeming himself," Director Li planned to observe Yi Zhonghai for a while to see if he was hiding anything, so he followed the words of the deaf old lady.

"Then I'll go back first. Director Li, you go ahead and do your work." The deaf old lady saw that she had gained nothing from coming to the street office.

Director Li almost took all his food coupons away, so he left in shame and prepared to return to the courtyard to discuss countermeasures with Yi Zhonghai.

The canteen of the steel mill at this time,

He Yuzhu continued to doze off in his exclusive chair, but he was listening to the gossip in the kitchen.

"You have heard that the four courtyards of my master held a meeting again, and it was the deaf old lady who wanted to eat meat," Ma Hua said what he knew.

"This happened two days ago. You just found out that Master He and his team have a lot of things to do in their hospital. How come they are so busy every other day?" Liu Lan said disdainfully about Ma Hua's news.

"It's all because of Yi Zhonghai. You see how quiet the master's yard was some time ago. Something happened as soon as Yi Zhonghai came back. He is really a jinx," Gao Jianshe expressed his opinion.

Gao Jianshe had been to He Yuzhu's place several times and got to know some people in the courtyard. He also expressed his opinions.

"By the way, I have some new news to tell you. Today I found out that Liu Haizhong went to Director Li's office to give gifts," Liu Lan said to the two of them while cutting the cabbage in her hand.

"Liu Haizhong, you can really do this," Ma Hua nodded and said.

"What do you mean? How did you know Liu Haizhong would do such a thing?" Liu Lan looked at Ma Hua in surprise.

"I heard that Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person. He would do anything as long as he could become an official. It's not surprising that he would give gifts to Director Li," Ma Hua explained to the two.

"You only know one side of the story. He rashly gave a gift to Director Li. Director Li didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to accept it. He said he would wait until he got promoted. But Liu Haizhong really took the gift back."

"He keeps calling Li Huaide 'deputy factory director' and has no idea of ​​the ways of the world. What kind of person is he doing?" Liu Lan said with a smile what Ma Hua and the other two didn't know.

"You can do this? Since you have given a gift, you can't take it back, otherwise the leader will remember your kindness," Gao Jianshe was also surprised by Liu Haizhong's strange operation.

"Liu Lan, you saw it," Ma Hua said rashly.

"I went to see Director Li and happened to come across something," Liu Lan calmly explained how she knew.

He Yuzhu listened to these gossips and fell asleep faster. He slept until the end of the get off work day. He was woken up by Ma Hua and then he packed up and went home.

For a period of time afterwards, both the courtyard and the steel mill became quiet and peaceful.

At noon that day, He Yuzhu was still busy in the cafeteria preparing medicinal food for Li Huaide. Li Huaide had been taking medicinal food quite frequently recently and seemed to be very tired.

"Ma Hua, you come and make medicinal food with me today. Jianshe and Liu Lan, you two go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it so as not to delay the workers' meals," He Yuzhu arranged the work with Ma Hua in a few words and got busy.

"Master Ma Hua will teach you a dish of oxtail soup today. Learn it carefully to use it to strengthen your sexual function," he instructed his eldest apprentice.

"Don't worry, Master. I will try my best." Ma Hua was very happy to see his master teaching him medicinal cuisine privately.

"Don't be so silly. These are not expensive things. You can drink some to replenish yourself when you feel unwell in the future. After all, you are an experienced person," He Yuzhu teased his apprentice.

Ma Hua was too embarrassed to answer these questions and could only blush and remain silent.

"The ingredients include ox tail, Cistanche deserticola, green bamboo shoots, carrots, and other ingredients and medicinal herbs. They need to be put into the pot in batches and simmered slowly over low heat until they become a thick soup." He Yuzhu explained each ingredient to Ma Hua after putting it in. The master and apprentice were busy for an hour before they put all the ingredients in the pot and let Ma Hua sit aside and watch the casserole.

He stayed there until the afternoon before he finished cooking the soup. He Yuzhu then carried the pot to Li Huaide.

"Knock, knock, knock." He Yuzhu knocked on Li Huaide's office door and walked in.

When Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu coming in with the pot, he knew that the soup for him was ready again: "Zhuzi, thank you for your help."

He Yuzhu looked up at Li Huaide, whose face was flushed with ruddy glow, and thought to himself that this medicinal diet must have had a good effect on Li Huaide, otherwise he wouldn't have such a flushed face.

"Director, although this medicinal food is good, you can't eat too much, and you need to exercise to have a good body."

"If you want to eat medicated food, I can make it for you at any time, but you have to be careful if you are too weak to be nourished," He Yuzhu still gave a few instructions.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi, your words now are more effective than those of the doctor. I will definitely follow your instructions. Having a good body is the capital of revolution," Li Huaide said seriously. After all, this was related to his health and he took it seriously.

Seeing that Li Huaide really listened to him, He Yuzhu stopped talking.
