Siheyuan: I'm a fool, I'm not a dog licker!

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

As soon as He Yuyu entered the house, he saw his brother in a daze, with a bit of... indignant ferocity in his eyes?

"It's okay, how have you been at school lately?"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and asked casually that his sister Yuyu had always been strong and independent, so she basically didn't have to worry about him. He just wanted to divert his attention.

"It's good. Brother, you don't have to worry about this."

Yu Yu said with a smile, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Shengli and Li Heping from the Li family in the front yard coming in through the moon gate, looking around towards the middle yard.

With a "squeak" sound, the Jia family's door opened a crack, and the stick slipped out and trotted towards the Li brothers.

As soon as the two Li brothers saw Banggeng, they turned around and walked outside. Banggeng ran faster and disappeared in the middle courtyard in the blink of an eye.

"What are you looking at?"

He Yuzhu glanced outside and saw only the back of Banggan's head.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just Li Shengli and Li Heping who are in the front yard. They seem to be looking for Banggeng. Banggeng ran out with them just now."

He Yuyu said casually, but He Yuzhu's brows wrinkled.

If he remembers correctly, Banggeng is only five years old this year, right? Li Shengli and Li Heping are eleven and thirteen years old, how can they play together with Banggeng?

"I'll go outside for a while, and you can do your work."

He Yuzhu put the three cloth pockets into the chest of drawers and went out of the house to chase the three children.

Not long after leaving the courtyard gate, I saw Li Shengli standing at the door of the men's room looking around, but Li Heping and Bang Gang were nowhere to be seen.

He Yuzhu walked toward the public toilet with a natural expression. Li Shengli suddenly became nervous and stammered:

"Silly... He, Uncle He..."

"Shengli? This stinks to the sky, what are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu looked normal and walked into the men's room. He saw Bang Jian and Li Ping pretentiously fastening their belts and leaving.

There is also a five-cent dime bill hanging out of Banggan's trouser pocket, which must have been hastily stuffed into his pocket when he heard Li Shengli's voice just now.

"Silly... He, Uncle He..."

Banggeng was obviously feeling guilty and stammered and ran away quickly, but Li Heping only glanced at He Yuzhu coldly and walked out of the toilet.

When He Yuzhu went back, he met Liang Youan and Xu Gang at the gate, and they were accompanied by a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

This man looked to be about twenty-five years old, with fair complexion, sharp eyebrows and handsome eyes, and was wearing a decent Mao suit.

Two of the holes on his chest were undone, and his every move exuded an elegant, gentle and approachable temperament.

"This is a polite scumbag!"

He Yuzhu muttered something secretly in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face:

"Hey, I thought you guys would come over here."

"Hey, why don't you just grab some and cook them together? It's not easy to eat good food these days!"

Liang Youan smiled and waved his hand to He Yuzhu, and when he came closer, he introduced:

"This is Fang Zisen. He works in the street office. I'm coming here for a delicious meal today."

"Zisen, this is He Yuzhu, the foreman of the canteen of the steel rolling mill. He is very good at cooking. You will know after you try it."

"Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu."

Fang Zisen smiled broadly and extended his hand to shake hands with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took a look and saw that although Fang Zisen's hands were very white, there were many calluses on them, so he must have worked hard.

"Hello, Leader Fang."

He also smiled and shook hands with Fang Zisen. Liang Youan on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said impatiently:

"Okay, we are all brothers, don't do this pretending to be like this."

After that, he even punched Fang Zisen: "It's all otters crossing the river, don't pretend to be a dog paddle here."

"Hahaha, come into the room and talk, come into the room and talk."

He Yuzhu smiled and led the three of them into the yard, passed the moon gate, and entered his room.

"I'm telling you, that bastard Fang Zisen is a total smiling tiger. He is as thoughtful as a sieve. He always sells you and you still count the money for him."

Xu Gang has also become familiar with He Yuzhu these days. While helping with the dishes, Xu Gang talked about Fang Zisen with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took out the ingredients given by Lou Jingzhai from the chest of drawers, and also took out the fish, old hens, vermicelli and dry goods from Northeast China that Yu Yu bought at the vegetable market.

"Hey, Brother Gang, let me tell you, I have a good way to deal with people like this."

"any solution?"

Liang Youan, who was squatting under the stove and lighting the fire, also became interested. He raised his head and asked after taking some time:

"It's very simple. In the steel rolling mill, everyone calls me Silly Zhu. No matter how many ideas you have, I will regard you as a dead fool and I won't be able to understand you!"

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, Liang Youan and Xu Gang burst out laughing, and Fang Zisen couldn't help but lift his leg and give each of them a kick.

"Okay, okay, it seems I still have too little work on hand."

As Fang Zisen spoke, he said to He Yuyu, who was peeling potatoes at the side:

"Sister, you're a girl, so don't keep busy, just wait and eat.

Let's leave these menial jobs to those two big men."

He Yuyu raised his head and smiled, then lowered his head and continued peeling potatoes.

Four big men and Yu Yu, a lunch was quickly served on the table. He Yu Yu carried two big bowls to eat at the deaf old lady's house in the backyard as usual.

First, it was inconvenient for her to be a girl when there were grown men at the table.

Secondly, He Yuyu always felt that he was a little uncomfortable in front of these people.

He Yuzhu's craftsmanship is really good, chicken and mushroom stewed vermicelli, boiled fish, ground three delicacies, Mushu pork, oily cabbage, shredded potatoes, soy sauce beef, cold fungus...

As soon as the dishes were served, the aroma filled the yard.

Liang Youan and Xu Gang didn't know how to write the word "pleasant" at all, so they started to put it in their mouths as soon as they sat down.

Fang Zisen looked polite, but when he tasted it, it was unambiguous at all.

What surprised He Yuzhu was that although this guy ate elegantly, his speed was no slower than that of Liang Youan and Xu Gang.

The four rough old men didn't say anything. They threw away their arms and started eating. After eating for more than ten minutes, the plates on the table were all bottomed out, and then they slowed down and started chatting.

"Zisen, how's it going? Brother, what I said is right, right?"

Xu Gang wiped some oil from his mouth and looked at Fang Zisen with a smile, a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.

"That's right, that's absolutely right. Zhu Zhu's cooking skills are truly incredible."

Fang Zisen put down his chopsticks, nodded and said:

"No wonder your old man always says that this is the first time in my life that I have eaten so much."

Fang Zisen said with a smile, and then looked at He Yuzhu:

"Gangzi told me about your situation. We are all brothers and I won't play tricks with you. Five hundred yuan will make you a temporary worker in the steel rolling mill, and one thousand yuan will be a permanent worker.

One or two hundred is boring, I’m too lazy to do it.”
