1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Yi Zhonghai's mind was in turmoil. He thought bitterly, "How can Li Dahe be promoted? If he is promoted, Li Dajiang will definitely be more confident.

If these two brothers gain a foothold in Siheyuan, wouldn’t the prestige that I, Yi Zhonghai, have accumulated over the years be threatened?

Can I still have the final say in the hospital from now on?"

Is everything he had carefully planned going to be disrupted like this?

No, absolutely not. He had to think of a way and couldn't let the Li brothers ruin his good deeds.

But now Li Dahe has been converted to a regular employee, what should we do?

Did his plan fail at this critical moment?

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai became more and more irritated and uneasy, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and his eyes revealed deep anxiety and unwillingness.

This bad mood kept haunting him and tormenting him, but he finally managed to hold on until he got off work in the evening.

When the bell for the end of get off work rang that night, the employees rushed out of the steel mill gate like birds released from cages, and rushed home impatiently.

Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai silently as usual.

On the other side, Sha Zhu was talking and laughing with Liu Haizhong, Wang Guifang and others.

They were talking about Li Dahe's promotion to a regular employee, and laughter filled the air.

Although they all lived in the same courtyard, even Wang Guifang did not reveal any information to anyone before the matter was made public.

The Li family is really quite low-key.

Liu Haizhong walked along the road, smiling broadly as he said to Wang Guifang and Sha Zhu, "Congratulations! Your family is really blessed with Li Dahe's promotion."

Wang Guifang smiled and replied: "It's all because of Dahe's ability and his hard work..."

Just at this moment, Li Dahe came up from behind on a bicycle.

When everyone in Liu Haizhong saw this, they immediately surrounded him and congratulated Li Dahe.

"Dahe, congratulations on your promotion! This is so surprising, you got promoted without any announcement!"

Li Dahe smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I didn't expect to be promoted so quickly. I'm just lucky!"

"Hey! Brother Dahe, don't be too modest. It's not easy to be a purchasing agent these days. The reason you were able to become a regular employee is because you can bring prey to the factory. We all benefit from it!"

Sha Zhu said with a smile on his face. He was right. If it weren't for Li Dahe, they would not have the chance to eat meat.

Yi Zhonghai heard the noise, stopped, turned around and glared at Li Dahe fiercely, his teeth clenched and he said, "Humph, what are you so proud of!"

After that, he clenched his fist and swung it vigorously, as if to vent all the resentment in his heart. Then, with a dark face and heavy steps, he continued to walk forward, muttering: "Just wait and see, this matter is not over yet!"

Jia Dongxu followed behind cautiously, not daring to breathe.

Everyone walked to the gate of the courtyard, chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw the old lady of the Li family sitting at the gate with Li Weihong in her arms, smiling.

Wang Guifang hurried forward, her eyes wide open with a smile, and called out "Mom" sweetly. Then she took the little girl in her arms, kissed her on the face, and said, "Xiaohong, have you missed me these days?"

Li Weihong said sweetly: "Yes!"

When everyone heard the name, they knew who the person in front of them was and came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Only Yi Zhonghai had a gloomy face and walked forward with his head down, while Jia Dongxu followed behind with his head hung.

At this time, Li Weiguo came out of the house, stretched out his hand to stop Sha Zhu, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Uncle Zhu, why don't you join us for a meal? You will still be the chef tonight. We still have two turtles at home that we haven't cooked yet. We don't know how to clean them, so we have to rely on your cooking skills."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh and readily agreed: "Okay! Then you have to call Yu Shui over, and we can also follow the old lady to benefit from it."

The old lady knew that these turtles and fish were caught by her two grandsons. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly and warmly invited He Yuzhu into the house.

He Yuzhu walked into the house and saw Mr. Li, Li Dahe's wife Wang Dahua, and her two sons with a smile on his face. He greeted them warmly and then strode straight to the kitchen.

Wang Dahua was full of curiosity. She came up to Wang Guifang, her eyes wide open, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, who is this person and how come he can cook?"

Wang Guifang smiled and looked towards the kitchen and said, "Don't underestimate him. This is He Yuzhu, our factory's chef. He is the chef who prepares the special meals for the distinguished guests and leaders in the factory. He is the successor of Tan's cuisine, and his cooking skills are well-known in the factory."

After hearing this, Wang Dahua opened her mouth wide and couldn't help praising: "There are very few men in the village who can cook. Now I see a lot of them. It's really new."

Wang Guifang smiled and said, "It's not surprising actually. Look at your elder brother. Didn't he learn it slowly as well?"

Wang Dahua frowned and said, "My eldest brother? That's different. This Zhuzi brother is still so young, who would have thought he was a cook?"

The old lady spoke at this time, waving her hand and saying seriously: "What's wrong with the cook? Cooks are so good. They say that cooks will never starve to death in years of famine. These days, only cooks can have a good meal, and others can't wait to envy them."

He Yuzhu was cooking in the kitchen with skillful and quick movements. Li Weiguo was helping him and was very busy.

After a while, several steaming and fragrant dishes came out of the pot.

The multi-grain steamed buns that Li Dajiang had prepared in advance were also brought to the table steaming hot. The family sat around the table, their faces filled with happy smiles, and they happily ate this sumptuous dinner.

While eating, Li Dajiang glanced at Sha Zhu from time to time, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Li Weiguo knew clearly what Li Dajiang wanted to talk about Yi Zhonghai.

However, Li Weiguo felt that now was not the best time to expose Yi Zhonghai.

He was waiting for the results of the police station's interrogation of Hu Lao Da and the other man. He believed that after the police station had interrogated Hu Lao Da and the other man, they would go to collect evidence. That would be the perfect time to expose Yi Zhonghai's true face.

Second Aunt Wang Dahua's gaze always unconsciously fell on He Yuzhu, and her eyes were full of thought.

Wang Guifang, who was standing beside him, noticed something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Second Aunt, you are staring at Brother Zhuzi without even moving your eyes. What are you thinking about?"

Wang Dahua's face flushed instantly, and she smiled shyly and said, "I just saw this brother Zhuzi. He is so young and has a formal job, but he still hasn't found a partner. It's such a pity. However, I suddenly thought of a suitable candidate, but I don't know if brother Zhuzi is willing to marry a girl from the countryside."
