Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

He Yuzhu thought about it and felt that it was okay for him to have two apprentices. He nodded and said, "That's right. It's okay for me to have two apprentices. Yes, Liu Lan, are you and Ma Hua willing to learn cooking with me?" Liu Lan and Ma Hua were very happy in their hearts. They smiled and said, "Of course we are willing. We are very happy that you can accept us as apprentices."

The honest and simple Ma Hua even wanted to kowtow to He Yuzhu directly. He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "It is not a one-line decision for a chef to take in apprentices. I have been observing you since you two came to work in our kitchen. You two are pretty good and meet my requirements for taking in apprentices. There must be a ceremony for taking in apprentices. Let's wait until next Saturday. Next Saturday, I will find a few witnesses and then officially take you two into my name."

Liu Lan nodded with a smile, and Ma Hua beside her naturally had no objection. Ma Hua said, "Master, let's do it on Saturday next week. Sister Lan and I will discuss buying a gift for becoming a disciple later." He Yuzhu did not dwell on this issue too much. Apprentices should show respect to their teachers, but as a master, he also had to show his respect.

Time passed quickly, and it was time to get off work. He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to get off work with several workers in the yard. Although the weather was relatively cold, the enthusiasm of the steel mill workers was very high. The courtyard was not far from the Red Star Steel Mill. After walking for about ten minutes, he returned home.

As He Yuzhu and the others just walked into the courtyard, they heard Jia Zhang's sharp shout, "Hey, Old Jia, please come up and take a look. The eldest son of Old Yan's family has bullied someone to death, please take them away quickly. I really can't live anymore, well, just let me die, instead of letting me suffer in vain in this world."

A group of people gathered in the courtyard of the quadrangle to watch the excitement. The protagonists were Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, and Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi was holding a cloth bag, which was the target of the two people's competition. Yan Jiecheng said with a dark face, "You are really too shameless, old man. You stole the radish strips that our family was drying, and you even turned the tables on others. Do you have any shame?"

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes were full of malice. She snorted coldly and cursed, "Shut up, you big stinky fart. What kind of person am I to want those pieces of dried radish from your family? Our Jia family can't afford to lose this person. Let go quickly. I have to go home and rest. A young man is pulling against an old lady like me. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Yan Jiecheng snorted coldly. They were reluctant to eat the radish strips that they had finally dried at home, but they were stolen by the old woman Jia Zhang. This made Yan Jiecheng very angry. This old woman was really shameless. He dared to deny it even when he was caught red-handed. Yan Jiecheng pointed at the small cloth bag in Jia Zhang's hand and said, "You are really shameless. Hey, where did you get this cloth bag in your hand?"

Jia Zhang was stunned and righteously scolded, "How did you get the compliments? Is your eldest son from the Yan family a leader of the Public Security Bureau or a clerk in the Street Office? Get out of here right now. I need to go home and have a good sleep. You don't mind being tired, but I do mind being cold."

At this time, Yan Fugui and Yi Zhonghai also heard the noise in the middle courtyard and hurriedly ran to the middle courtyard. Yan Fugui did not expect that the protagonist of this incident was his son, which made Yan Fugui a little puzzled. This Jia Zhang is not someone who is easy to mess with. You can mess with anyone in this courtyard, but you must not mess with this shrew.

Yan Fugui quickly ran to his son's side and asked, "Son, what happened?" Yan Fugui pointed at Jia Zhang and said, "This shameless old man stole the dried radishes that Mom had worked so hard to dry. I caught him in the act, but I didn't expect that this bastard would not admit it. Dad, look at the cloth bag in his hand, does it look familiar to you?"

Yan Fuguier looked at the piece of cloth in Jia Zhang's hand in detail, thought for a while and said, "Isn't that the defective cloth I bought last time? Your mother made a set of clothes for each of you three brothers. There is only this small piece of cloth left. Jia Zhang, you are too unreasonable. Hand over our dried radish, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Jia Zhang was not afraid of a weak scholar like Yan Fugui. She snorted coldly and said, "What makes you say this is yours? You old thing are really too shameless. This piece of cloth belongs to our Jia family. I brought it back from outside. Get out of my way. I have to go home now."

Yang Ruihua ran from the front yard to the middle yard and said with a bad face, "Hey, sister-in-law Jia, you are so shameless. I finally dried some radishes, but your family is too poor to bear it, right? How come you can't even afford to eat some radishes? Hurry up and give me the radishes. This is the result of my hard work, and I don't want to give them to a thief."

Jia Zhang's old face was filled with anger. Even if he stole it, so what? Who saw it just now? Throwing a tantrum was her specialty. She snorted coldly and said, "Hey, I'm talking about the Yan family. You can't accuse me of something wrongly. The dried radish in my hand is not from yours. I bought it from outside. I've been feeling a little bloated lately and I want to relieve the bloating. Oh, is it that only your family has dried radish? Can't our Jia family buy some from outside?"

Yan Jiecheng snorted coldly and said, "You old woman are so shameless. With your stingy appearance, you still go out to spend money to buy carrot strips." Jia Dongxu looked at his mother being scolded by a young man, and said with a dark face, "Boss Yan, if your dog mouth can't spit out ivory, you'd better shut it. Do you believe that I will beat you up severely? What can you say about my mother?"

Yan Jiecheng was also a young man in his teens. He snorted and said, "Who is afraid of who? If you have the ability, let's have a fight. You are a coward. You dare to get angry in front of a man. Are you looking for death?" Xu Damao laughed out loud. Yan Jiecheng was younger than them. Xu Damao said to Jia Dongxu happily, "Yan Jiecheng is so powerful? I didn't expect that he doesn't take Jia Dongxu seriously."
