Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and hummed a little tune as he leisurely walked into the gate of the steel rolling mill. He first went to the workshop where Uncle Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were, found the director of the third workshop, Zhang Zhu, and asked for leave for Uncle Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

After coming out of the third workshop, He Yuzhu immediately rushed to the cafeteria, parked his bicycle first, and then went directly to the director's office.

After knocking on the door, Director Qian saw that it was He Yuzhu who came in, so he personally poured a glass of water for He Yuzhu and asked hurriedly: "Zhuzi, is there any news from Liu Chang of the Meat Processing Plant?"

He Yuzhu took a sip of the tea poured by Director Qian himself, moistened his throat and said, "Director Qian, Director Liu has a condition. If Director Liu needs to entertain someone, I will help him once without any conditions. Director Qian, do you think this condition is acceptable?"

When Director Qian heard this, he thought it was a small matter, just a matter of signing a note, and said excitedly: "As long as it does not conflict with the hospitality of our steel mill, this condition can be agreed."

He Yuzhu immediately replied: "Director Qian, I also told Director Liu the same thing. If Director Liu needs to entertain you, you have to approve a note for me."

Director Qian, who had solved the heavy burden on his head, waved his hand and said, "Zhu Zi, if Director Liu needs to entertain, it's no problem to approve the request. When can we get the meat back?"

He Yuzhu quickly replied: "Director Qian, as long as you agree to Director Liu's conditions, we can go and get the meat back at any time."

Director Qian said quickly: "Zhu Zi, I will approve the note for you right now. Please go there right now. There is no time to lose. I am afraid there will be some mistakes."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought, could he skip work again today? He could finish his work early and go home early in the afternoon to eat melons. It was so nice just thinking about it.

Holding Director Qian's approval note, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and went out. When he arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu thought it would be good for him to establish a good relationship with the security department in advance, so he took out a pack of Peony from his pocket and handed it to the guard on duty together with the approval note.

It happened that the person on duty was Secretary Song from the Security Department. When Secretary Song saw that He Yuzhu handed over a whole box of peonies, he said happily: "Master He, you are too polite. If you need help from the Security Department in the future, just let me know." He then put the cigarettes into his pocket.

He Yuzhu also hurriedly said: "Please invite Secretary Yu for a drink when you have time. We will definitely need your help in the future. Secretary Yu, let's talk later. I'll go run errands for our director."

Under the smiling gaze of Secretary Yu, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle towards the courtyard. He Yuzhu thought that it would be too tiring to transport the 400 kilograms of pork to the factory by himself, so he decided to leave it to the professional Yan Jiecheng.

He returned to the courtyard and found Yan Jiecheng, asking him to rent a vehicle after lunch, and then meet He Yuzhu at the gate of the meat processing plant.

He Yuzhu, who suddenly had nothing to do, felt that it would be a bit inappropriate if he went back to sleep, so he decided to go find Miss Lou to relieve her homesickness and ask about Uncle Lou's move.

After thinking about it, he rode his bike to Lou's house. When he arrived at the door of Lou's house, He Yuzhu fiddled with his clothes in front of his own shadow and then rang the doorbell.

Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door today was Lou Xiaoe. Lou Xiaoe looked at He Yuzhu standing outside the door in surprise and said jokingly: "Zhuzi, are you skipping work again?"

He Yuzhu hurriedly explained: "Comrade Lou Xiaoe, although you are a great beauty, you cannot doubt my work attitude."

After listening to what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiaoe rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu and told him to experience it himself.

He Yuzhu then said awkwardly: "I came out to get meat for our canteen director. Coincidentally, the guard at the meat processing factory told me that I could only go to get it in the afternoon. I thought that I couldn't be a security guard at the gate of the meat processing factory. Then I counted on my fingers and figured out that a beautiful girl named Lou Xiaoe missed me, so I immediately rushed over to accompany you."

Lou Xiaoe, seeing through it all, said: "Do you think I'm stupid? You must have gone there on purpose in the afternoon because you didn't want to go to work. Besides, who would miss you and run away? Come on, fly one now and let me see."

He Yuzhu saw that he was exposed by Lou Xiaoe, and said without blushing: "I missed you, I have been running around in a few places recently, let me go in and have a drink of water."

Lou Xiaoe looked at the beads of sweat on He Yuzhu's head and said distressedly: "Can't you ride slower? Come into the house quickly."

He Yuzhu replied: "It's because I miss you." The two of them walked towards the house hand in hand.

When Mr. Lou saw that it was He Yuzhu who came in, he was also very confused. He Yuzhu had to repeat what he had just said to Mr. Lou. As soon as Mr. Lou heard it, he knew that this boy was playing tricks, but he didn't point it out, just laughed.

He Yuzhu hurriedly made an excuse and asked: "Uncle Lou, when are you going to move? I'll come over in advance to help you then."

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't treat him as an outsider and took the initiative to ask for help with the move, Father Lou was also very pleased, so he said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, the yard is still smelling. When we move, I'll let Xiao'e notify you in advance."

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle Lou."

Afterwards, He Yuzhu and Lou's father chatted and drank tea.

He glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. After asking Lou Xiaoe and confirming that Lou's mother would come to eat soon, He Yuzhu got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Not long after the meal was ready, Lou's mother, who had been out visiting a friend, came back. She was surprised to see He Yuzhu busy at the table, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After having lunch with Lou's father and mother, He Yuzhu got up to say goodbye, and Lou Xiaoe took the initiative to take on the task of seeing He Yuzhu off to the door.

Seeing the two people holding hands and talking and laughing as they walked out of the door, Lou's mother said to Lou's father: "Have you thought about it? Give the betrothal gift to Zhuzi in advance?"

Father Lou took a look at the two happy people outside and said, "Give it to him. Zhuzi is a good man and worthy of trust."

Arriving at the gate of Lou's house, He Yuzhu, who was about to leave by bike, asked: "Xiao'e, do you have anything to do tonight?"

Lou Xiaoe replied puzzledly: "I'm fine. What can happen to me now?"

He Yuzhu then said: "Then I will pick you up after get off work and take you to the Siheyuan to watch a good show."

Lou Xiaoe was also very curious when he heard this, so he nodded and agreed: "Then come pick me up after get off work, and drive slowly on the way, don't be too anxious."

He Yuzhu replied: "I understand, little housekeeper, I'm leaving first."

Looking at He Yuzhu walking away, thinking back to what he had just said, "little housekeeper", Lou Xiaoe's face turned red, feeling very sweet.

After strolling all the way to the meat processing factory, he saw Yan Jiecheng waiting at the door early. He Yuzhu admired this point about Yan Jiecheng. Although he was a little timid, no matter what you assigned him to do, he would always plan ahead and be willing to work hard without being lazy.

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Jie Cheng, you must be getting anxious waiting."

Yan Jiecheng said: "Brother Zhuzi, I just arrived a while ago."

He Yuzhu said: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, let's go in now."

With two packs of Mudan leading the way, the security guards at the meat processing plant used to receive half a box of cigarettes, but they received a whole box of Mudan from He Yuzhu several times in a row, which made them feel embarrassed. So they took the initiative to provide He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng with the security and manual navigation services of the meat processing plant, saying that it was patrol time and they would take the two of them there.

So the two of them successfully arrived at the warehouse of the meat processing plant. When the checking staff saw that it was a note approved by the factory director himself, they immediately arranged for someone to provide loading services. He Yuzhu saw that the checking staff was very respectful, and thought, if you give me an inch, I will give you a yard, so he sent out another bag of Peony.

He Yuzhu, who was waiting for loading, took a bored look at the few peonies in the space and thought that he should go to Director Zhao to replenish the stock when he had time.

After a while, four hundred kilograms of fat pork belly were loaded into the car. He Yuzhu looked at the fat pork belly and thought that it was indeed because he had someone in the court to help him get things done, and he would send a big peony when he needed something.

He Yuzhu didn't expect that picking up the goods would be so smooth, so they showed up, one riding a bicycle leisurely, and the other driving a donkey cart at a snail's pace, walking towards the steel mill.

The time control master He Yuzhu finally arrived at the canteen door an hour before the end of get off work. Yan Jiecheng, who was already familiar with the place, went to the scale to get the order without He Yuzhu asking him to say anything.

He Yuzhu thought, is he so skilled? Then what should I do? After thinking for a while, I decided to run a few errands to tell Director Qian that the meat is here, and drink some water while I am at it.

As expected, when they arrived at Director Qian's office, He Yuzhu told Director Qian that the meat had been weighed and put into storage. Director Qian happily poured He Yuzhu a glass of water and handed him an envelope.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng brought the purchase order over. Director Qian looked at the purchase order in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. He then hurried to the finance department to hand in the documents and arrange for the payment.

He Yuzhu took out five dollars from the envelope and gave it to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng refused again and again, but He Yuzhu said, "I earned more than you this time, so just take it, go return the donkey cart, and come to my house for dinner tonight."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to accept it, and then went to return the donkey cart. He Yuzhu also strolled back to the kitchen to get off work.

When the bell for the end of get off work rang, He Yuzhu rode towards Lou's house at full speed.

When we arrived at Lou's house, we picked up the curious Lou Xiaoe and drove towards the courtyard.

After arriving at the middle courtyard and returning home, he poured a glass of water for Lou Xiaoe and asked her to listen to the radio for a while. He Yuzhu hurried to cook, fearing that he would not be able to eat the melon if he cooked too late.

With He Yuzhu working at full speed, four dishes and a soup were soon on the table. Looking at He Yuzhu who was in a hurry after coming back from get off work, and then looking at the taciturn Yan Jiecheng who was also full of anticipation, Lou Xiaoe's expectations for the big show that He Yuzhu had mentioned reached its peak.

After dinner, before I had time to clean up, I heard a woman yelling outside. He Yuzhu said, "Xiao'e, let's not clean up yet. The show is about to begin."

The three of them carried small stools to the door. Yan Jiecheng was unusually sensible and poured each of them a cup of tea, then sat down quietly.

The person who came was Liu Xia. Seeing that most of the audience had arrived, Liu Xia shouted loudly: "Neighbors, please judge. Jia Dongxu recruited his friends to gamble at my place in the name of dating me. He was arrested by the police station, which implicated me. Even so, I still paid a fine of 100 yuan for him. Now I want to ask him whether Jia Dongxu will marry me. If not, he slept with me, ruined my reputation, and made me lose money. So I ask you to be witnesses and let the comrades from the police station judge."

He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard this. This is the script that Liu Xia hired someone to write. He also introduced the heroine to Lou Xiaoe.

When the onlookers in the courtyard heard this, they also talked to each other: "This Jia Dongxu is such a jerk, isn't he treating the girl like a monkey?"

When they heard that Liu Xia was going to call the police, Jia Zhang's mother and son, who had been pretending to be dead at home, and the uncle Yi Zhonghai had to show up and resolve the situation.

Jia Zhang shouted, "You are just a half-closed door. It's all your fault that my son died. You are a jinx. You are dreaming of entering my Jia family. We haven't asked you for compensation yet, but you still dare to come to our door."
