Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Zhu Zi, your idea is great. This way we can both gain favors and it will be safer."

When He Yuzhu heard that Xu Damao also agreed with his idea, he said, "Then I will give Director Qian a reply tomorrow according to what we discussed."

Xu Damao said: "Zhu Zi, let's do this. I also have something to discuss with you."

He Yuzhu asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"

Xu Damao said: "Zhu Zi, I have been thinking about it these past few days. Should we find a few more small courtyards? If we stay in one place for too long, I am afraid that people will think of us and make us feel unsafe."

He Yuzhu was also very worried when he heard this, so he said to Xu Damao: "Da Mao, you should think carefully. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. You have recently agreed to go out and rent a place if you have nothing to do. The rent will be on me."

Xu Damao said cheerfully when he heard this: "Of course you will pay for the rent. You are the big boss. Yan Jiecheng and I are just earning some hard-earned money. Don't worry, we will run around more in the next few days and try to rent it as soon as possible."

He Yuzhu said: "Then you two can do it. Just tell me how much it costs in the end. It's nothing else. I'll go back first. I have to go home to cook for Yushui."

Xu Damao heard this and thought, "I'll have to eat with you too." He Yuzhu thought, "Okay, let's call the old lady along, it won't make a difference." So the two of them each supported the old lady and walked towards the middle courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the Intermediate Court, he saw Yan Jiecheng and Director Zhao of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative waiting at his door. He Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Director Zhao, why did you come to my house in person?"

Director Zhao hurriedly said, "Master Xiao He, I'm here for the family dinner this weekend. I forgot to tell Master Xiao He the address last time, so I came to tell you now."

He Yuzhu, who had almost forgotten about it, said without blushing, "I was planning to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask Director Zhao after get off work tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come today. I'll make some side dishes, Director Zhao, shall we have a few drinks tonight?"

Director Zhao quickly waved his hand and said: "Master Xiao He, it won't work tonight. I have to go back to take care of the family banquet. After it's done, I will accompany Master Xiao He for a few drinks." Then he handed the gift to He Yuzhu and said goodbye and left.

He Yuzhu looked at the gifts in his hand and felt that they should be canned food and candies. He thought that he was worthy of being the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, as he gave out rare items.

He Yuzhu said to Yan Jiecheng who was about to leave and go home: "Jiecheng, you can eat here too. I just happen to have something to tell you."

Hearing that there was something to tell him, Yan Jiecheng became nervous and asked quickly: "Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Jiecheng's nervous expression and said, "Don't be nervous. I have something for you to do. We'll talk about it while we eat."

Hearing that he was being assigned a task, Yan Jiecheng calmed down and said, "Brother Zhu, I'll help you light the fire and wash the vegetables."

He Yuzhu said: "Of course, you are also learning from Xu Damao to be a hands-off manager."

Xu Damao said immediately, "Chef He, please wait a moment. I will help the old lady get settled in the house and then I will go to the kitchen to wait for your orders."

The deaf old lady looked at the three people joking with each other, and she was no longer deaf. She said with a smile: "Then I will take advantage of my age and go in and sit down to eat the ready-made food."

When He Yuzhu heard that the old lady was actually joking, he replied: "You just sit there and relax, and we three brothers will take care of the rest."

The three of them worked together and soon prepared a table of delicious food. Looking at the three people preparing to drink, Xiao Yushui also said to He Yuzhu coquettishly: "Brother, I want to drink soda too."

Although he knew that there were few industrial flavors in soda of this era, He Yuzhu seldom gave his sister drinks for the sake of her growth.

Looking at his sister who was salivating with desire, He Yuzhu raised a finger and said, "You can only drink one bottle. Last time, your sister Xiao'e and sister-in-law Huairu combined didn't drink as much as you did."

He Yushui, who was exposed in public by her brother, said coquettishly: "Brother, stop talking, I get it, I will drink a bottle tonight." After that, she went to the kitchen and got it herself.

After three rounds of drinking, He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Damao, who received the signal and said to Yan Jiecheng: "Jiecheng, I discussed with Zhuzi that one warehouse is not safe, so I want to prepare a few more warehouses, so you have to accompany me to look for a house on the street recently."

When Yan Jiecheng heard about this, he quickly said, "Brother Zhu, Brother Damao, I have a lot of free time, I'll go for a walk if I have nothing to do."

He Yuzhu said: "Xie Cheng, then you should take more care and try to find it as soon as possible."

Yan Jiecheng said: "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, I will go and look for it tomorrow."

After talking about the matter, the three of them started drinking together for a rare occasion. The first one to beg for mercy was Xu Damao, who loved both food and drinking. The second was Yan Jiecheng, who was afraid of making mistakes tomorrow. In the end, Comrade He Yuzhu achieved two consecutive victories in the drinking contest.

After eating and drinking, Xu Damao helped the old lady walk to the backyard. He Yuzhu also asked Yan Jiecheng to go back and rest early. Looking at his sister who took the initiative to help him clean up, He Yuzhu felt very relieved.

The brother and sister cooperated with each other, cleaned up, washed up simply, and fell asleep sweetly, going to Zhou Gong to entertain them.

The next day, He Yuzhu came to the cafeteria early in the morning. After watching the director enter the office, he said to Liu Lan: "Sister Lan, please help me clean up and keep an eye on it for a while. I'm going to talk to the director about something."

When Liu Lan heard this, he quickly said, "Zhu Zi, go quickly. I'll keep an eye on it for you."

He Yuzhu strolled to the director's office, knocked on the door and went in.

He got straight to the point and said, "Director, I contacted my father's friend as soon as I got off work yesterday. After much persuasion, I finally managed to secure a supply of 300 kilograms per week."

Director Qian thought the quantity was okay, but he still asked without changing his expression and unwilling to give up: "Can't you supply more?"

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Director, you know, food is easy to get, but meat is in short supply everywhere. Three hundred kilograms per week is already the limit for my father's friend."

When Director Qian heard this, he estimated that the 300 kilograms should be the opponent's limit, so he said: "Zhu Zi, these 300 kilograms can relieve my urgent need. I will think of a way to deal with the rest. Zhu Zi, you go ahead and do your work."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he quickly disappeared and went back to continue slacking off.
