Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Chapter 34 New Residents in the Yard

Song Lili sent Zhong Shan to the gate. Zhong Shan stopped and said to Song Lili: "Lili, it's cold, go home quickly!" After that, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "I will miss you!"

Song Lili looked at Zhong Shan, feeling sweet in her heart, "Well, Brother Zhong, see you tomorrow!" Then she whispered, "I will miss you too!"

After saying goodbye to Song Lili, Zhong Shan walked out of the courtyard. Just after taking two steps, a voice came from behind: "Shanzi?"

Zhong Shan looked back and saw that it was He Yuzhu, who was staggering out of the courtyard with a lunch box in his hand.

"Brother Zhuzi? Why are you here?" Although he guessed that He Yuzhu already knew the big leader of the Ministry of Industry and was here to cook for him, Zhong Shan still pretended to be stupid and asked.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's face flashed with pride, and he said, "Hey, you know my cooking skills. There is a big boss who loves the dishes I cook. I am here to cook for him today."

After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at Zhongshan with a sly look, winking and saying:

"Hey, Shanzi, how far away can I see you? Is that lesbian your girlfriend?"

Seeing He Yuzhu's frivolous look, Zhong Shan did not deny it: "You have a good look. I'm going to my girlfriend's house for lunch today. Brother Zhuzi, it's too cold, let's go back quickly!"

The two people without bicycles were walking towards home. He Yuzhu suddenly sighed: "Shanzi, this guy is really mean sometimes. Today, when I went to the boss's house to cook, I saw a movie player. I thought, if Xu Damao were alive, Director Yang would definitely bring him to do this job!"

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu have been fighting since they were young. They really have a grudge against each other, but it has never been to the point of life and death. Suddenly one of them is gone, and He Yuzhu no longer hates Xu Damao that much!

Zhong Shan glanced at He Yuzhu, who was sighing, and said, "So, Brother Zhuzi, you should not do things that would make you feel guilty, or you will be found out one day."

He Yuzhu also agreed: "That's right, Xu Damao has done too many bad things. He never does good things, but he is always responsible for the bad things, damn it!"

He Yuzhu sighed, sorted out his feelings, and said to Zhong Shan: "That's perfect. Let's prepare some food tonight!"

Zhong Shan did not refuse: "Sure, I can taste your cooking skills again!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "But I have to go to your house. After seeing your house, I will wait for the beginning of spring to decorate my house like yours!"

After the two returned to the yard, He Yuzhu put the vegetables in Zhongshan's house and opened the door. Zhongshan turned on the radio, and the two listened and talked about the gossip in the yard, who was caught eavesdropping at night, and who went to the Eight Great Hutongs!

As he was talking, he saw three people coming in outside. One was a woman with a face full of flesh, who looked somewhat like Jia Zhang, one was a timid-looking man in his 40s, and the other was a young man in his 20s with a scoundrelly look. They should be a family of three, carrying luggage, and talking to the third uncle.

He Yuzhu was sharp-eyed. After seeing this, he said to Zhong Shan:

"Why are you still carrying luggage? Are you a new resident?"

Zhong Shan was also quite curious: "Let's go? Let's go take a look?"

After saying that, he went out to watch the fun. He saw the third uncle helping the three people with their luggage and walking towards the backyard. Zhong Shan and He Yuzhu also followed to watch the fun.

He Yuzhu looked at the people in front and said, "He's heading to the backyard. Is this Xu Damao's house? It's also a private property. Has it been sold?"

After a pause, he looked at Zhong Shan who was also puzzled and said, "Shan Zi, the feng shui of Xu Damao's house is not good. Why do the people living here not look like good people?"

Zhong Shan looked at He Yuzhu speechlessly: "Brother Zhuzi, please keep your voice down. But it's true, this family doesn't look that easy to get along with!"

As expected, several people went to Xu Damao's house. Zhong Shan and He Yuzhu looked at the Third Uncle who came back empty-handed. He Yuzhu teased the Third Uncle in a mean way: "Hey, Third Uncle, you came out empty-handed. You, Old Man Yan, have finally met your match today."

Yan Bugui was already unhappy. I helped you carry your luggage and sent you home, and you let me out like this. Not to mention taking advantage of you, I didn't even get a sip of water. When he saw He Yuzhu's teasing, he ignored him, snorted, and went home.

The Third Uncle and He Yuzhu were secretly undercover by the Third Uncle because they delivered gifts to Ran Qiuye. After the affair, every time he talked to He Yuzhu, he couldn't get the upper hand.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting anymore, Zhongshan and He Yuzhu returned to Zhongshan's home. With nothing to do, He Yuzhu heated up the dishes. Zhongshan also took out some peanuts and the pork head that He Yuzhu had braised before, and took a bottle of white wine.

At the dinner table, Zhong Shan asked He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, Yushui is getting married soon, how are the preparations going?"

He Yuzhu took a bite of peanuts and said, "It's almost done. There are still more than ten days left. Shanzi, don't call me Brother Zhuzi anymore. Just call me Zhuzi or Shazhu!"

Zhong Shan did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll call you Zhuzi. Do we still need to set up two tables in the yard for Yu Shui's wedding?"

He Yuzhu said without a second thought, "No, I'm getting married after the Chinese New Year. How can I hold two weddings in a row? The men in the courtyard will definitely scold me!"

Zhong Shan agreed when he heard this: "You two are having a double celebration. You both got married before and after the New Year. Yu Shui's dowry is ready, and you have to prepare for yourself and renovate the house. The expenses are not small. Do you have enough money?"

He Yuzhu took a sip of wine and said, "How can it be enough? An old man gave me some, and I also bought the tickets at the Pigeon Market!"

When Zhongshan heard that the first uncle gave money to He Yuzhu, he didn't say anything. In his previous life, he read fan fiction that said He Daqing sent money to He Yuzhu and his sister every month, and the first uncle received it but didn't give it to He Yuzhu. He didn't know whether it was true or not. But regardless of whether it was true or not, He Yuzhu was the first uncle's designated pensioner, and the first uncle was willing to take the money. He Yuzhu was a kind and soft-hearted person and would not forget the first uncle.

The two drank two more sips, and Zhong Shan said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you have almost prepared the other things. I have some connections. I have pork, mutton and chicken. If you need them, you can come to me."

He Yuzhu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Shanzi, I really came here today. To be honest, I have been exchanging meat tickets everywhere these days, and so has Yushui. If you have connections, I will tell Yushui not to exchange them tomorrow. This has helped me a lot."

"Just tell me directly when you want to buy. If you don't need a ticket, just pay the normal store price. It's raining now, and no one in the courtyard is going there, so it wouldn't be good for me to go there. Just consider it a gift from me!" Zhong Shan said while eating.

He Yuzhu did not refuse and raised his glass to Zhongshan: "Come on, Shanzi, I'll toast you a glass. I appreciate your kindness!"

Zhong Shan clinked his glass with He Yuzhu's and said after finishing his drink: "What's the point of being grateful or not? We brothers don't care about that!"

He Yuzhu also took a sip of wine and talked about the new residents in the backyard: "The new family doesn't look easy to get along with. The woman looks like Jia Zhang and the son looks like Xu Damao. My goodness, this is going to go against the will of heaven. The two evil people in our yard have been brought together. There will be a lot of fun in the future!"
