Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard humming a ditty.

I was thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.

This is a big problem for today's silly pillars.

Private restaurants are different from factory cafeterias. The ingredients are all available, and the little cooks also have the boss's spies.

When Silly Zhu first started, he didn't know much about these things. He was still just like in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. When cooking, he put more ingredients and put less food on the guests' plates. He folded and moved, half and half.

The remaining dishes on the plate are then quietly taken home, or hidden in a place where no one is around, and wolfed down.

In this way, you can save money on a meal.

However, he just did it once and was stopped by his boss the next day.

The boss severely reprimanded Si Zhu for his behavior and deducted half a month's salary from Si Zhu on the spot.

Moreover, the boss knew exactly what kind of food he ate, how much, and where he ate it.

Silly Zhu was speechless and could only suffer the punishment silently.

From then on, I never dared to do what I did before.

You can't smuggle food from the canteen. According to Shazhu's current salary of more than thirty yuan a month, although he can't afford big fish and meat every day, he can still satisfy himself with white flour and steamed buns.

The problem now is that as soon as his monthly salary was paid, Qin Huairu confiscated most of it.

Silly Zhu was still very happy, because Qin Huairu's reason was that the two were about to get married. By then, Forty-Eight Legs couldn't afford it, so he had to buy some new furniture, new bedding, a new washbasin, and some wedding candies.

to the children.

As a result, Shazhu only had five yuan left for living expenses every month, and could only hide at home and eat black corn.

It's just that Banggeng performed well today. Shazhu thought he should celebrate it. Maybe he should drink a bowl of Erhe noodles. But there is no noodles at home. Do you want to borrow some from Sister Xiao Qin?

If I borrow it, Sister Xiao Qin will definitely give it to me, but it seems a bit shameless.

What if a grown man borrows something from a woman?

Also, Sister Xiao Qin doesn’t think that I can’t even afford food and is unwilling to marry me, right?

Thinking of this, Shazhu's thoughts were a little shaken, and he was ready to go back to eat the black wowotou.

Just as he put the key into the keyhole, a crisp sound suddenly came from behind him.

"Silly Zhu, did you just come back from get off work?"

Turning around, he saw Qin Huairu looking at him affectionately, making Silly Zhu's bones tingle.

Especially today, Qin Huairu was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket. Her hair had just been washed and was spread on her shoulders. The fragrance of shampoo made Shazhu a little intoxicated.

Seeing Sha Zhu's squinting look, Qin Huairu curled her lips vaguely, lightly flipped her hair with her small hands, and said in a clear voice: "Si Zhu, Bang Gang, why didn't I come back with you?"

"He forgot his keys at the hotel and went back to get them."

Silly Zhu seemed to have thought of something in the middle of his words. He scratched his head and said, "Aren't you going to work today?"

When it came to going to work, Qin Huairu's face darkened visibly, and she sighed softly: "Silly Zhu, it's not that I don't want to go to work, but that the workers in the workshop are targeting me."

"Aimed at you?" Shazhu was a little confused. In this era, the relationship between people is quite simple, especially the relationship between workers is deeper.

Generally, there will be no crowding out of workers.

"You forgot, Yi Zhonghai has asked for leave these days." Qin Huairu looked miserable.

"What does Yi Zhonghai's request for leave have to do with you?" Silly Zhu said halfway when he suddenly understood.

Qin Huairu was supported by Yi Zhonghai in the workshop. She was always lazy when she could, and she also liked to bully other workers.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is no longer in the workshop, those workers will naturally have to return with revenge.

Even though Qin Huairu was born with a sharp mouth, she could make Silly Zhu fascinated.

But in front of those single-minded workers, it is of no use at all.

In the past, when Sha Zhu was working in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, he could help Qin Huairu solve these problems by virtue of being a chef.

Now that Si Zhu has been fired, he is naturally helpless.

Silly Zhu was a smart man and knew that he could not help Qin Huairu, so he changed the subject.

"Sister Xiao Qin, you said Master Yi Zhonghai is sick. Is it serious?"

"It seems to be quite serious. Since Liu Hongchang took away the position of the first uncle last time, Master Yi's health has not been good." Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Later, the bad guy Xu Damao was shoveled by the first lady again.

The green vegetables in front of the door, isn’t this a slap in Master Yi’s face?”

"Yes, Master Yi is an eighth-level fitter. He is the top in the steel rolling mill. He has also been a master in our courtyard for most of his life. When did he receive this kind of anger? It is normal that he can't stand it for a while.

Speaking of which, Master Yi was very kind to me, He Yuzhu. When my father left us brothers and sisters and ran away with the White Widow, it was Master Yi and Auntie who extended a helping hand to us brothers and sisters when they were in the most difficult time. Also, later on

, I was imprisoned in a fence, and it was Master Yi who pulled me out. I cannot be ungrateful or forget my roots. I should go visit Master Yi."

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and rolled his eyes, shrank his head, and whispered: "When you visit a patient, you have to bring a gift. You also know that I don't have much money on me. Can you give me ten yuan?"

After speaking, Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu with a hopeful look on his face.

He has already made up his mind to go to Daoxiang Village to buy a box of snacks for only five yuan. With the remaining five yuan, he can eat several meals of white flour steamed buns this month.

After eating black cornstarch for several months, Shazhu's stomach burst with acid and his eyes turned green, which meant that he was physically strong, otherwise he would not have been able to bear it long ago.

Qin Huairu, who was originally smiling, suddenly darkened when he heard this.

She let out a long sigh and said: "Silly Zhu, it's not that I won't give you money, it's just that I saved the money. If you withdraw it now, the interest will be gone."

"Save it? Sister Xiao Qin, didn't you say that with that money, you were going to buy furniture when we got married?" Silly Zhu became anxious when he heard this, and his tone rose a lot: "You, you don't know how.

Are you not planning to marry me again?"

Qin Huairu glared at him: "Silly Zhu, what are you talking about! Am I, Qin Huairu, the kind of woman who doesn't keep her words? Don't you understand my feelings for you over the years? I never thought that you would be here now

You actually doubted me!"

As she spoke, big tears overflowed from her eyes, slid down her smooth and white cheeks, fell to the ground, and fell into Silly Zhu's heart.

"Sister Xiao Qin, please stop crying. It's my fault. I shouldn't not believe you!"

Silhu felt distressed for a while and reached out to grab Qin Huairu's arm.

Qin Huairu shook off his hand and said coldly: "Silly Zhu, to tell you the truth, I plan to keep that money for having a child."

"Have a baby?" After Silhu was stunned for a moment, he felt ecstatic and looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief: "You, you mean you want to have a baby with me?"

"Silly, how could it be any other man besides you?" Qin Huairu covered her mouth with her small hand, shook her body twice, and said coquettishly.

Seeing that Si Zhu was jumping up and down with excitement, she sneered at the corner of her mouth and glared at Si Zhu: "I just didn't expect that my plans for the future of the two of us would be misunderstood by you. My heart is really

It's ice cold."

"Sister Xiao Qin, I was wrong, I was a bastard."

"Snapped!"

As Silly Zhu spoke, he slapped himself hard.

"Well, we are a family, how can I still be angry with you?" Seeing that Qin Huairu had successfully overcome a crisis, she was too lazy to talk nonsense to Silly Zhu: "Banggeng is coming back soon. I have to go back to cook quickly. I won't

Chatted with you."

"Okay, okay, walk slowly"

Silly Zhu didn't get the money and even received a slap in the face, but he was very happy in his heart.

He is nearly forty years old this year. For other men at his age, their children have already gone to junior high school, and some even have grandchildren. Of course, Xu Damao, who cannot lay eggs, cannot be counted among them.

Shazhu always dreamed of having his own child, but seeing that Qin Huairu was getting older, he felt that letting Qin Huairu have another child would damage Qin Huairu's body.

The doctor from the Sixth Hospital once said that if a woman is over thirty-five, it will be bad for her health and may even be dangerous if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child.

As the ultimate licker, Silly Zhu was certainly not willing to let Qin Huairu take such risks just to have a child.

Now Qin Huairu actually brought it up on his own initiative, Shazhu was so moved that he almost cried.

When he opened the door, the room was in a mess. The table and chairs were all covered with dust. Silly Zhu didn't pay attention and went straight to the cupboard and opened it.

His eyes suddenly widened.

There used to be a black pottery in the cupboard, but now it has disappeared.

Silly Zhu rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that there was a rat?

No, the cabinet door is closed tightly, and there is a latch on the outside. Rats will definitely not be able to open it.

There are no mouse holes on the outside of the cupboard.

As if he had thought of something, Shazhu was shocked and hurriedly ran into the back room and pulled out a flashlight from under the pillow at the head of the bed.

I gently pushed the switch, but the flashlight did not emit light.

"Damn, it's broken again!"

Silly Zhu stretched out his palm and tapped the flashlight twice. The flashlight flashed twice and emitted a bright light.

"Haha, if I don't fix you, you won't know who the boss is!"

Silly Zhu smiled proudly, carried a flashlight to the cupboard, and shined it inside.

Just one glance made him so angry that he gritted his teeth.

With the dim light, you can clearly see that a hole was bitten by a mouse inside the cupboard. The hole spreads along the wall, and it is unknown where it leads.

"Damn rats!"

The evening ration was eaten, and Silly Zhu was furious.

Move the cupboard aside, grab a thermos bottle and fill it with hot water.

Who would have thought that the hole is in the wall, and even if the mouth of the thermos bottle is tilted, there is no way to pour it in.

Silly Zhu was so anxious that he threw the hot water bottle against the wall. His palms were already sticky in his impatience. His palm suddenly slipped and the hot water bottle hit the wall directly.

It looked like Silly Zhu smashed the hot water bottle against the wall to vent his anger.

There was just a bang sound, the bladder of the thermos bottle shattered, and the hot water splashed into the air. Silly Zhu was caught off guard and his right hand was scalded by the hot water.

A burst of severe pain made him hold his palms and groan in pain.

The pain was so intense that Si Zhu had to squat on the ground.

I don't know how long it took, but Silhu finally broke free from the pain. Looking at his palms that were burnt red by the hot water, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Holding back the pain, Silly Zhu rummaged around the house and finally found a box of toothpaste from the drawer.

Silly Zhu was ecstatic, opened the toothpaste box, and his expression suddenly changed.

There was only a rolled-up piece of toothpaste skin left in the toothpaste box.

He tried to squeeze, but couldn't squeeze out a bit.

Throwing away the toothpaste in frustration, Silly Zhu looked at the empty room and didn't know what to do for a while.

Logically speaking, if you are burned by hot water, you should go to the hospital immediately and apply red lotion.

If you don’t have red potion, you can also use toothpaste instead.

But now there is no more toothpaste

Should I borrow it from Sister Xiao Qin?

No, if Sister Xiao Qin knew that I was so stupid that I got scalded by hot water while catching mice, she would definitely laugh at me.

Maybe

A name flashed in Silly Zhu's head: "Yi Zhonghai."

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter and has a rich family. In addition, the old couple are old and prone to illness. There are many commonly used medicines at home, and there will definitely be red potion.

In addition, he could just have a meal at Yi Zhonghai's house.

However, Yi Zhonghai is sick now and has to bring some gifts when visiting the patient.

Silly Zhu searched at home for a long time, but could not find anything that could be given away.

"Yes, I remember that there were some small fish dried in front of Yanbu Gui's house, just right to give them to Yi Zhonghai."

Silly Zhu ducked out of the house, closed the door, and tiptoed toward the front yard.

It just so happened that today was the day for Huang Xiaocui's prenatal check-up. The whole Yan family went out together, but there was no one at home.

It was easy for Silly Pillar to win.

There were five fish in total, three big and two small. Silly Zhu was too embarrassed to take them all and only took away the three big ones.

With the three fish in his hands, Shazhu became more confident and hummed a little tune all the way to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

The distance was far away, so Shazhu shouted at the top of his lungs: "Uncle Yi, are you home? I'm here to visit you."

Inside the house.

Yi Zhonghai was lying on the bed moaning in pain. When he heard Silly Zhu's voice, he glanced at Aunt Ma.

"Old lady, go and close the door. Don't let Silly Zhu come in."

The aunt put down the wet towel and said doubtfully: "Lao Yi, that person outside is Silly Zhu, the person you carefully selected to support the elderly. What are you so angry about?"

"Bah!" Yi Zhonghai said with a cold face: "I finally understand, Silly Zhu is just a white-eyed wolf."

"How do you say this?"

"Think about it, I spent so much money to rescue Silly Zhu from the fence. How many times did he come to our house after he came out?" Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

These words reminded the third aunt: "If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed it yet. It seems that I haven't seen Silly Zhu for several months."

"Of course, he hangs out with our goddaughter all day long, and he will still remember us." Yi Zhonghai's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "I see, I want him to provide for us in old age, Biden

It’s so difficult.”
