Siheyuan Diaosi Attack

Li Huaide's gaze followed He Yuzhu's figure. He sighed softly, turned around and left the cafeteria.

The bell of the steel rolling mill rang, and workers who were leaving get off work poured out. Zhou Yaping walked through the crowd and came to the maintenance warehouse.

In the warehouse, Li Yue was concentrating on fixing the coil on the motor with straps. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and he looked a little tired.

Zhou Yaping walked up to him, looked at his busy back, and said softly: "Li Yue, the bell for the end of get off work has rung, why are you still busy here?"

Li Yue heard the voice, stopped what he was doing, turned around, and smiled: "Brother Zhou, I'm not at ease until this job is done."

He paused, then added, "I can go home with peace of mind only after I paint on the insulating paint and make sure everything is ready."

Zhou Yaping frowned, with a hint of concern in his tone: "Li Yue, how long will it take you to finish this?

It’s time to get off work now.”

Li Yue raised his head, without stopping the action in his hands, and replied softly: "This, you have to wait a while, Brother Zhou.

You go back first, I'll leave when I'm done."

Zhou Yaping sighed, his eyes stayed on Li Yue for a moment, then he turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned back and asked: "By the way, a girl came to see you this afternoon, I came to ask you, but I didn't tell her you were here.

Do you know any girls in the factory? "

Li Yue's hand froze for a moment, and then he began to think: "I don't really know this girl in the factory, could it be Yu Haitang?

But I didn’t say anything to her.”

Li Yue's eyes were fixed on Zhou Yaping, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice: "Brother Zhou, did the person who came to see me tell me what his name is?"

Zhou Yaping was slightly startled, then he understood: "Oh! He said he is from the Propaganda Department. Do you know him?"

There was a hint of curiosity in his words.

Li Yue frowned slightly, his thoughts turning quickly: "Publicity Department?

Could it be Yu Haitang?"

He whispered to himself, a hint of doubt in his voice.

Zhou Yaping noticed Li Yue's abnormality and asked softly, "What's wrong, Li Yue?

Do you know him?

Li Yue shook his head, his voice filled with confusion: "No, I don't know him.

I just... just feel a little weird."

Zhou Yaping's eyes flashed with surprise, and he continued, "By the way, he said she was the daughter of Director Feng from the factory. How did you get to know her?"

There was a hint of inquiry in his words.

Li Yue showed a surprised expression on his face, and there was a hint of curiosity in his voice: "Minister Feng's daughter?

I...I don't know Minister Feng's daughter."

There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Zhou Yaping frowned, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "You don't know her? Then why did she come to see you?"

Li Yue was also stunned, with a hint of confusion in his voice: "This... I don't know either."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Zhou Yaping looked at Li Yue and confirmed that he did not know Minister Feng's daughter, then he said softly: "Since you don't know her, it may be that I misunderstood.

You can ask about it tomorrow when you go to work."

There was a hint of relief in his voice.

Li Yue nodded, without stopping the tool in his hand, and responded softly: "Brother Zhou, you are right.

It's time to get off work now, you should go back soon, I'm done with my work here.

I'm going back!"

Zhou Yaping listened to Li Yue's words, smiled slightly, and then nodded to show his understanding: "Yeah."

He turned around and left!

Li Yue watched Zhou Yaping's back gradually disappear into the maintenance warehouse, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart: "What could Minister Feng's daughter want to see me about?"

He shook his head slightly, deciding not to dwell on the issue any more, and said to himself, "Oh, forget it, let's just fix the motor first and then go home and talk about it later!"

He was repairing the warehouse and continued to be busy.

As time passed, the noise in the factory gradually died down, leaving only Li Yue busy working alone in the warehouse.

He concentrated on applying the insulating paint. After finishing, he carefully placed the baking lamp stand next to the motor, and then adjusted the position of the bulb to ensure that it was in the middle of the motor.

When everything was ready, he plugged in the power and completed the final work.

Li Yue looked around and confirmed that there were no safety hazards. He nodded with satisfaction.

He picked up the workbench, put on his military bag, and walked out of the maintenance warehouse.

The factory area was exceptionally quiet, with only Li Yue's footsteps echoing on the empty road.

He walked quickly to the factory gate, but found that it was closed.

Li Yue walked to the guard room, knocked on the door and called out, "Brother, please open the door."

The guard heard the noise, poked his head out of the guard room, looked at Li Yue and asked, "What's going on with you?

It's time to get off work, why haven't you left yet?

Li Yue smiled, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Brother, I'm working overtime in the factory, and I haven't finished it yet, so I've delayed it until now.

Please open the door."

The guard nodded, showing his understanding: "Is that so? Okay, I'll open the door for you right away."

As he said that, he picked up the key, walked out of the guard room, and opened the door for Li Yue.

The guard's eyes fell on the military bag that Li Yue was carrying. He asked casually, "What's in your bag? Open it and take a look!"

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then revealed a helpless smile. He explained softly, "Brother, there is only a lunch box in the bag, nothing special."

After hearing this, the security guard still insisted and asked Li Yue to open the bag. Li Yue had no choice but to open the bag, and then let the security guard take a look, and only then was he allowed to walk out of the factory gate smoothly.

Li Yue walked out of the factory gate. The night had already enveloped the entire city. He thought to himself: "I can't go to the market today. It seems that I can only go home and eat something."

He quickened his pace and headed towards the courtyard he was familiar with.

Soon, Li Yue appeared at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Bugui sitting on a small stool at the gate, smoking leisurely.

Li Yue greeted him softly: "Uncle, have you finished your dinner?"

Yan Bugui heard the voice, raised his head, and showed a kind smile on his face: "It's Li Yue, you came back so late, you must be very busy in the factory?"

Li Yue nodded, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Well, there is some work in the factory that has not been completed, so it has been delayed until now.

Please sit down, I will go back first.

Li Yue nodded under Yan Bugui's gentle instructions and didn't say much!

He walked through the middle yard, where there was no one else, and came to the door of his own house.

He unlocked the door, stepped into the house, took off his military bag from his shoulder and placed it on the table.

Li Yue didn't stay for long. He turned and walked into the kitchen, picked up the bucket, went out to the sink and got a bucket of clean water.

Then he carried the bucket back to the kitchen and put it down. Then he went back into the house, picked up the washbasin, went out again and filled a basin with clean water.

After returning to the house and washing up simply, he felt refreshed and ready to start preparing dinner.

In the kitchen, Li Yue found a basin and a bowl, walked to the bag of corn flour, and scooped a bowl of flour into the basin.

He frowned, thinking about how to make the steamed bread softer, "Well, I still need to boil some water to scald the corn flour."

He talked to himself, then added water to the pot and lit the small stove.

The firelight illuminated his face. After the water boiled, Li Yue began to knead the dough with skillful and powerful movements.

He slowly poured hot water into the basin, and the corn flour started to swell! After swell, it began to rise.
