Siheyuan: Cooking journey

How could there be two people named He Yuzhu in the same cafeteria?

Yu Li was speechless for a moment, sighed, and said nothing.

Yu Haitang lowered her head. Even though the discussions and praises around her never stopped, they could no longer arouse her interest.

Soon it was Yu Li's turn to get food.

"Yu Li, you're here. What would you like to eat?" Liu Lan greeted her happily when she saw her.

Yu Li pursed her lips and glanced at her former co-worker. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart and managed a smile:

"One portion of cabbage and potato, plus three steamed buns."

"Okay!" Liu Lan's hands trembled, and she added a lot more meat. "You are busy."

Yu Li looked at the two full plates of food and smiled sincerely. She pulled Yu Haitang to the next table to eat.

"See you later."

Liu Lan responded with a smile and continued to serve food to the next person, but the amount was obviously much less.

The workers in line behind were unhappy: "Liu Lan, you are treating me differently. There are so many people here, but when it's my turn, I only get a few slices of meat?"

"What's the matter? You have a problem with that? Female comrades have less physical strength and get tired easily. We are all women, can't I feel sorry for them? Why are you, a grown man, comparing yourself with a woman? If you compare yourself with others, you will get the same amount. If you keep nagging, I won't even give you one pill tomorrow!"

Liu Lan knocked on the vegetable bowl with a spoon impatiently.

The worker immediately admitted his mistake, "Sister, I was wrong, I just said it casually."

"Who is your sister? Don't try to get close to me. Calling me sister is useless."

Although she said this, Liu Lan was still quite capable and secretly added another half spoonful.

"Sister, you are my sister from now on."

"Come on, come on, I don't have a cheap brother like you."

……

Yu Haitang witnessed this little episode from the side and secretly regretted his previous carelessness.

Even a waiter has such prestige, and everyone greets him with a smile.

How powerful the canteen director must be.

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Haitang lowered his head and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, you live in the same courtyard. Um, He, He Yuzhu, do you have a girlfriend now?"

"I don't know. I haven't spoken to him, but I've met him a few times."

Yu Li glanced at her and said thoughtfully, "I'll go back and ask around for you."

Although she didn't like the changes in her sister, deep down, she still hoped that this would succeed.

If this really happens, the two sisters can live in the same yard and take care of each other.

Moreover, she was also thinking, if it succeeded, could she ask He Yuzhu to help and transfer her to work in the canteen.

Like lunch or something.

He Yuzhu only cooks and basically doesn't get involved in other things.

Now that he has an office, he rarely stays in the kitchen. He lazily lies on his desk, scribbling with a pencil.

There is no clear idea of ​​what to draw, just randomly drawing lines.

"Xiao He, the work is pretty easy."

Director Yang walked in with a smile. "It's OK."

He Yuzhu straightened his body and sat lazily, a little crooked.

Whether you have free time or not depends on how you arrange your time. If you try to take care of everything, you will naturally be busy forever.

He delegated the work of the canteen director to others. He was only responsible for taking an overall view and at most flipping through the account books. Naturally, he had very little time.

"Look at how lazy you are. If I hadn't come, you would have fallen asleep."

Director Yang laughed and said something, then said seriously, "The director of the steel plant will come to dinner later. Come with me to greet him and I will introduce you to each other."

"I'd better not go. There's nothing to see, and no one to meet."

He Yuzhu shook his head. He had no interest in meeting this kind of person, and there was no benefit in getting to know him.

If you know each other, and the other party asks him to help get some meat, scarce seafood or something, would you help him or not?

Steel mills have fixed quotas for these products. Even if they are not used, they are crucial and very desirable to some people.

Help, and get yourself into trouble.

If I don't help, I will lose face and offend people.

What good is there in knowing him? It's better not to know him. "You are such a blockhead, kid."

Director Yang shook his head helplessly and reminded:

"You are still so young and have already been promoted. Don't you want to go further? Knowing more people will only bring benefits, not harm."

The canteen director is at the same level as the heads of various departments, and above them are the deputy factory director and the factory director.

He Yuzhu had no interest in going any higher; he felt that it was enough to just manage this small world of the canteen.

The higher you climb, the more you worry.

"Forget it. You said it yourself. I'm still young. Without seven or eight years of accumulation, it's basically impossible for me to improve. Besides, if I know someone and they ask me to do something, wouldn't that just be tempting me to make a mistake?"

He Yuzhu explained and realized that Director Yang meant well. "Okay."

Director Yang thought about it and stopped trying to persuade him. He smiled and searched his pockets.

"I've prepared the marriage certificate you requested. Here it is. When do you plan to register? The old-fashioned ceremonies and wedding candies are no longer popular. You need to prepare some. I want to ask for one."

Looking at the marriage certificate in front of me,

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment.

"Why aren't you talking?" Director Yang was curious. "I don't want to get married."

He Yuzhu shook his head calmly. He had always lived a simple life and he did not regard Director Yang as an outsider. There was no need to hide this matter.

"what……"

Director Yang was startled, frowned, and said seriously:

"Xiao He, what's going on? Don't mess around with men and women. You mustn't get involved in things like having sex and then abandoning each other. It has a bad influence on you."

"No."

He Yuzhu rubbed his brows and said calmly: "We just felt that we were not suitable for each other, so we broke up."

"What?"

Director Yang was puzzled and said seriously:

"Aren't you guys in love and getting married voluntarily? Free marriage cannot be blocked. It is the basic principle of breaking the old custom of arranged marriages. No one can interfere. That is illegal. Is it that the other party's parents don't agree? If you are getting married voluntarily, I can help you negotiate."

"No, it's our own business."

He Yuzhu waved his hand.

Why, he could probably guess.

Ran Qiuye's parents received Western education and became high-level intellectuals when they returned to China.

It is very likely that you will look down upon your own identity.

And Ran Qiuye obviously chose to listen to her parents. How could they help with such a thing?

If Ran Qiuye is willing but her parents disagree, there are still many ways to solve the problem.

But now Ran Qiuye doesn't want to, what can he do? "Alas..."

Seeing his indifferent look, Director Yang sighed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be sad, don't think too much. With your conditions, you won't be afraid of not finding a wife."

"I'm not sad." He Yuzhu smiled. Sad?

Not at all.

I didn't have any good feelings towards you in the first place, so why should I be sad?

When I first met her, it was purely because I had a preconceived notion that she was a good choice.

When you reach the age of getting married, it is indeed time to consider finding a partner.

Since you are looking for one, you naturally have to find one with good conditions.

The original intention is that simple.

There is no element of liking, no extra emotion.

at this point,

He was very sure! Very sure!

"You……"

Looking at his stiff smile, Director Yang shook his head, changed his mind, and joked:

"Marriage is a simple matter. If the conditions are right and both parties are satisfied, then you just live your life after marriage. Who doesn't go through this? What's there to talk about? It's all over.

"Free love is unreliable. Let me introduce you to a good girl. You can go and register for marriage today. The marriage certificate has been issued."

"up to you."

He Yuzhu didn't care, he knew Director Yang was joking.

It's already afternoon, even if I could really conjure up a Sailor Moon, it would be too late.

At least you have to communicate with the other person's family and the other person.

Nowadays it is popular to get married as soon as two people meet, but there also needs to be a process for both families to get to know each other.

This is what is called inquiring, and it has been like this since ancient times.

"Then I will find you a wife now, and you are not allowed to regret it later." Director Yang said with a smile.

"boring."

He Yuzhu rested his chin on his hand, looking lazy and ignoring him.
