Chapter 131 He Daqing works as a temporary worker

backyard,

At this time, the deaf old lady and Aunt Yi, like other women in Peking, were working hard to make shoes and quilts for the front line.

When he saw He Yuzhu coming in, he asked with concern,
"Zhu Zi, I just heard from Yu Shui that Feng Ze Yuan has closed down, and that you two are going to be greenhouse cooks.
Is it real."

Seeing that He Yushui had told everything, He Yuzhu admitted it with a smile, and then asked with a smile,

"Madam, why are there only a few of you? Where is Aunt Zhang?"

"Don't mention it.

She was there just now, but she got sleepy while doing it, so she went back to smoke.

I think Dongxu is really unlucky to have such a mother. He saves money every day, but Xiao Zhang takes away all the money. "

I heard the deaf old lady defending Jia Dongxu.
Sitting next to her, Aunt Yan, who had just finished her confinement, said with a smile,

"Madam, you are wrong.

I think Xiao Jia deserves what he deserves.

If he was cruel enough to tie up Mrs. Zhang for two more days during the Chinese New Year, maybe Mrs. Zhang would quit smoking.

He was so good, so filial! Seeing that Zhang's wife felt sorry for him, he not only untied him, but also gave her the cigarettes.
The result now is what he did! "

Perhaps because she had just given birth, her maternal love was overflowing. After scolding Jia Dongxu, Aunt Yan looked at Yi Zhonghai's wife next to her and said,

"Sister Yi, your old Yi is Dongxu's master after all, why doesn't he talk to Dongxu?
Filial piety doesn’t have to be this way.”

Seeing the fire burning on her, Aunt Yi beside her also sighed.

"How could we not understand that Dongxu's behavior was a bit foolish and filial?
But what can you say to our Lao Yi? As for Mrs. Zhang, if you say too much, she might blame us for the rest of our lives.

It's better to let nature take its course.
Maybe Mrs. Zhang will come to her senses and quit smoking on her own.”

Everyone understood that Yi Zhonghai and his wife did not want to bring trouble to themselves, so they could only shake their heads and sigh, and then talk about other things.

As we were talking, the rain outside was getting heavier.

After a while, He Daqing came to the backyard.
"Zhu Zi, I don't think the rain will stop for a while. I'm going to the steel mill to pick up your aunt Bai after get off work. You stay home to look after Yu Shui and the others and prepare dinner."

"I know dad!"

After saying this, He Yuzhu came out of the deaf old lady's house and prepared to go home to cook.

When He Yuzhu was about to finish cooking at home, He Daqing came in from the front yard, supporting the white widow who was more than four months pregnant.

As soon as he entered the house, he said,
"Zhu Zi, your Aunt Bai just told me to go to the kitchen of the steel mill to work.

In addition to the convenience of taking care of her at any time, we can also get some salary, and it won't prevent us from taking time off to work as greenhouse cooks.

what do you think? "

When I came back this afternoon, I saw that He Daqing agreed to make money by hosting banquets. He Yuzhu thought that he would have nothing to do with the steel mill in the future.

Who knew that just when he went out to pick up the White Widow from work, something strange would happen again.

Seeing him asking for his opinion, He Yuzhu said,

"Dad, with your cooking skills, it's a bit of a waste to work in a factory making big pot dishes.
Besides, if you go to work in a steel mill,
What about Fengze Garden?
You can't do two formal jobs at the same time, or the shareholders will have a reason to fire you!"

"Hey, I didn't tell you clearly.
Your Aunt Bai just wanted me to work as a temporary worker in the factory, so that the shareholders of Fengzeyuan would not be able to fire me.
Although the salary is a little lower, the advantage is that you can leave whenever you want.

It won’t delay us from going back to work at Fengze Garden.”

Seeing this situation, He Daqing didn't have to stay in the steel mill for the rest of his life, so He Yuzhu was relieved and said, "It's okay.

But what should I do?
The steel mill doesn’t want child laborers under the age of 16, so I can’t get in.”

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing said as a matter of course,
"If you don't want to go, then don't go.
You can't practice your craft by cooking big pot dishes, and you won't learn anything by going there. You might as well carve radishes at home.

It just so happens that your aunt Bai and I will both go to work in the future, so you can stay at home and take care of the old lady and Yu Shui and the other two."

Seeing that the two were planning this, He Yuzhu also felt that he would have more free time in the future.

He nodded and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll just carve radishes at home and read a few more books and learn some culture."

"Then you keep an eye on your Aunt Bai. I'm going to the backyard to ask the old lady to come over for dinner, and by the way, I'll talk to her about going to work at the steel mill."

With the help of the deaf old lady and He Daqing's cooking skills, there would be no problems in working as a temporary worker in the canteen of the miscellaneous factory.
He went to work at the steel mill on the third day.

The rain in Beijing was getting heavier and heavier, and the city began to suffer from waterlogging.
Fortunately, the Beijing Military Control Commission promptly mobilized the garrison to launch a rescue operation.

It didn't make the situation worse.

Two days later, the sky finally cleared up.

Amid the chirping of birds and insects, He Yuzhu took Li Qingshan, who was about to go to school, to practice calligraphy in the east wing. He Yushui and Xu Zhaodi stood under the grape trellis at the door, drooling at the grapes on it.

Soon two little guys ran in.
"Brother, when can I eat grapes?"

Seeing He Yushui pointing at the grape trellis outside and looking at him with a pitiful look on his face,

Thinking that the time was almost up, He Yuzhu smiled and got off the kang.
"Why, are you hungry?"

"hey-hey!"

Seeing his sister's slightly flattering smile, He Yuzhu came outside with a stool, looked at the grapes on the shelf that had not been artificially selected, picked a grape and tasted it.

"Well, it's okay, not sweet, but it looks ripe."

He Yushui didn't care whether the grapes were sweet or not. When she heard her brother say that the grapes were ripe, she immediately jumped up and down and shouted,
"Brother, let me taste it, let me taste it."

"Brother Zhuzi, I want to try it too."

Seeing the two little girls so impatient, He Yuzhu picked a few grapes and handed them to them, saying with a smile,

"You two go to the backyard and call Xu Damao over. Tell him I want to pick grapes and ask him to come and help."

The two little girls took the grapes and couldn't wait to pull one off and put it in their mouths, mumbling something incoherently.

Then he ran along the corridor to the backyard.

Seeing the two little girls sharing the grapes in their hands while running to the backyard, He Yuzhu turned around and greeted Li Qingshan.

"Take out the scissors and basin and get ready to pick the grapes."

Seeing his two sisters eating grapes, Li Qingshan didn't say anything, but he was also very greedy.
Hearing He Yuzhu's greeting, he immediately became energetic.

"Here comes brother!"

When the two of them had prepared everything, Xu Damao also ran over happily.
"Zhu Zi, hurry up, are the things ready?"

"I've prepared it a long time ago. I'm waiting for you to come."

"I've been eyeing these grapes for a long time, and today I can finally eat them."
