Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Xu Damao's hand that was picking up the food suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he cursed:

"So, this bastard Shazhu is really taking advantage of others!"

"you do not say!"

Mother Xu said angrily: “This family is too much. They didn’t even say hello to us.

"Shazhu is also an ignorant person. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw us. He became the director of a crappy canteen and then the deputy director of a special group, but he is so proud of himself.

"When you come back this time, you must find a way to vent your mother's anger."

"I will never let him off for stealing my wife. I will kill this bastard sooner or later."

Xu Damao's face was gloomy. He was thinking about countermeasures when a shout suddenly came from outside the door:

"Da Mao, Damao..."

"Who is it? The voice sounds familiar." Mother Xu asked puzzledly.

"Liu Guangtian..."

Xu Damao explained and was about to go out to take a look, but was grabbed by Xu's mother and complained:

"Why are you paying attention to him? Have you forgotten how you got in?

“It’s okay, that guy is just an idiot.

Xu Damao said disdainfully: "I have used him as a gun many times in prison over the years, and it is very convenient for me to do so. I will go and see what he wants.

After a while.

Xu Damao came back excitedly, "The weather is really bad, it's raining heavily outside."

"What does Liu Guangtian want to talk to you about?"

Father Xu looked at him and asked curiously, "Seeing you like this, is there something good going on?

"Of course, when sleepiness comes, the pillow comes..."

Xu Damao proudly recounted the incident and added:

"This time, I'm going to bring that bastard Shazhu down."

"I think you're going to kill yourself, you stupid bastard."

Father Xu hit him hard on the head with chopsticks and said angrily:

"I've been in there for nothing all these years. Why didn't you use your brain?"

Xu Damao was a little dazed after being beaten.

Mother Xu was unhappy and said, "Why do you beat your child for no reason? You are a coward and you don't want your child to have a bright future.

"What a waste of time! This is called being useless."

Father Xu's face was livid, and he cursed: "Shazhu is a senior deputy director. Even if something is found in his home, at most he will be dismissed, which is no big deal.

"But don't forget, Shazhu has never been a reasonable person, his fists are his language;

"I've beaten you for so many years, why don't you learn your lesson?

“If you report him now, he will beat you half to death later;

"Think twice before you act. This kind of mindless behavior is just asking for trouble."

Xu Damao looked confused and asked doubtfully: "Is Shazhu really that difficult to deal with? He is just a deputy director, right?"

"Can deputy director and deputy director be the same? He is a senior executive."

Father Xu snorted, "When others were still small minions, he was already the deputy director of the steel mill. Such a deputy director is a banner, how can he fall easily? Even if he falls, it's no big deal. What others think of him, can he still do his job well? People's hearts are complicated.

"Otherwise, I have so many ideas and plans, why not do it? Everything depends on the timing. Now Shazhu is in the prime of his life. Provoking him will only cause trouble for yourself."

Xu Damao's expression changed from bright to dark, and he said unwillingly: "You mean, you won't report him?"

"I'm not wrong to say you're stupid."

Father Xu tapped him again and reminded him, "I mean to ask you to use your brain more and not leave any loopholes. If Liu Guangtian wants to report it, let him do it."

"We sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. If it succeeds, it will be good, and we can vent our anger. If it fails, it can't be blamed on us!"

"Don't we need to find a few more people? I recommend one, the second son of the third uncle, Yan Jiefang. He works in the same class as me at the steel mill. He loves to take advantage of small things. If you give him some benefits, he will be happy to do it.

"Because of the fight with Yan Jiecheng, the third uncle has been extorting a lot from our family. We can use this incident with Sha Zhu to punish him." Xu Damao praised with a thumbs up, with a look of admiration on his face.

"Old ginger is always wiser, Dad, you are awesome."

"It's nothing. There are some things I just don't bother to care about. Otherwise, there would be no place for us to talk in this yard."

Father Xu looked relaxed, glanced at him, and then reminded him:

"There are plenty of opportunities to deal with Sha Zhu, so there is no need to rush. You know how to show movies, and I have asked someone to find a job for you in a movie theater.

"Your job is stable now, and you are not young anymore. It's time to find someone to marry. Your mother and I are still waiting to have grandchildren."

"Yeah."

Mother Xu quickly agreed, "Mom will definitely pick a good wife for you."

"There's no rush for this, take your time..."

Xu Damao's eyes flickered, he spoke vaguely, and lowered his head to continue eating.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?"

Mother Xu was surprised: "Before, didn't you always want to get married?"

"I haven't decided on a job yet. I'm full, so I'm going out for a walk first..."

Xu Damao put down his bowl and chopsticks, found an excuse and left.

Mother Xu was even more confused and couldn't help but say, "Dad, why did Damao change his temper after coming back this time? He used to urge him to find a wife, but now he's pushing her away."

"What are you changing?"

Father Xu said unhappily, “This is maturity and stability, which I think is good. I know that I can’t support my family without a job, and I can’t keep my wife even if I marry her;

"If I really want to talk about changes, this child is becoming more and more like me. He is much neater and more efficient."

"How can you say that?"

Mother Xu's face didn't look good.

"If your own offspring doesn't look like you, how can it look like someone else? What do you mean? You felt that you didn't look like me before, so you've always been suspicious of me, right? Do you even need to guess? Are your eyes just for show? Look at Damao's shoe-horn face. He looks exactly like you."

Mr. Xu was speechless.

Outside the house, the rain was falling lightly.

Xu Damao hid in the corner and banged his head against the wall.

It's raining in my heart, too.

Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian, sooner or later, I will kill you.

Inside the office.

After Director Yang left,

He Yuzhu just stared quietly at the watch on his wrist, his mind empty and thinking of nothing.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

For the first time, he felt that time was passing so slowly.

How long has it been?

He Yuzhu himself couldn't explain it, but suddenly he found that Director Yang appeared in front of him again.

This time, Director Yang's expression was much more serious.

The several deputy factory managers who came with him had the same expression.

In addition, there were two people He Yuzhu knew, one was Yan Jiefang, the second son of the third uncle’s family, and the other was Liu Guangtian, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Comrade He Yuzhu,"

Director Yang spoke in a steady voice, blinking meaningfully as he spoke, and then his tone became formal: "Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian came to our special team and reported you for major economic problems under their real names."

"So, our special team is going to do a routine check at your home. Do you have anything to say about this?"

He Yuzhu remained calm and glanced at Yan Jiefang lightly.

Yan Jiefang seemed to have his thoughts seen through, and he immediately avoided the gaze and turned away.

Turning to look at Liu Guangtian, I saw a sneer on his face and a smug look on his face.

Some minor characters always love to jump around.

But no matter how much fun they had,

To He Yuzhu, these were just some insignificant tricks.

For a moment, He Yuzhu really couldn't remember how he had gotten into all this trouble.
