Chapter 375 Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu
"Master He, I won't work overtime today. I'll ask you something after work. Are you free?"
Silly Zhu is a little confused, this Lou Xiao'e is again He came to the door, thought about it, and agreed happily.
"Okay, I'll find you when I'm done."
For Lou Xiao'e, he seemed unable to refuse, looking at Lou Xiao'e who smiled and turned away, quickly walking away. , Shazhu was still a little dazed.
Lou Xiao'e didn't have many opportunities to work overtime, so Si Zhu could just finish the meal and leave. Considering that everyone in the factory was working overtime during this period, and the canteen was not busy, many ordinary waiters in the factory were They all moved to the small canteen of the factory guest house. Chef Zhang there was also good, and his job was to entertain outsiders.
"Master He, I think this person has fallen in love with you. He has come three times this month."
Liu Lan came over to joke, and the relationship has slowly eased since last year. , she also felt that Shazhu was no longer as unkind as before, but he could make jokes from time to time.
"Go, go, go and do your business. Have you washed the vegetables? I will have to start frying them later, and I have to cut them."
"Of course they are done, little one Fatty is doing it, so I just came over to watch the excitement, haha.”
Silly Zhu was not angry either. He washed his hands and went to the stove.
"Master, if you have something to do, I will cook this meal. Don't you also tell me whether my big pot of food is still good? You go and do your work. I will also seize the opportunity to practice my skills. "
Seeing his apprentice saying the same thing, Silly Zhu simply took off his sleeve and threw it into Ma Hua's arms.
“Hey, if you want to get started, it’s up to you today. I’ll be leaving as soon as I get off work.”
…
Silly Zhu can’t figure it out. Lou Xiao'e's thoughts, logically speaking, shouldn't be the case. She looks average and has no education. A cook with a stable income may still be a good choice in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Lou Xiao'e's family background, it is definitely nothing.
At that time, for a recipe, under the urging of several parties, I gritted my teeth and mustered up the courage to go on a blind date, but it turned out that they were not destined for each other.
As a result, Xu Damao was disturbed, and Lou Xiao'e contacted him several times. But after Xu Damao was arrested, Lou Xiao'e came to see Silly Zhu from time to time. Since the last time we watched a movie together, she has come even more frequently. .
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e seemed to have that intention, Shazhu was a little wavering. He was always thinking about Xiong Lin, but he also knew that he would probably never see her again in this life.
I have something on my mind, so I have been lacking in initiative, but Lou Xiao'e's voice and smile are still deeply imprinted in my mind. This girl is really as innocent as the old lady said. Silly Zhu feels even more guilty. It's the first time I've touched someone's mind just for a recipe. What a big deal.
Silly Zhu had no one to talk to, not even Brother Zhu. He couldn't hold it in anymore, so he told the deaf old lady about it not long ago.
"Zhuzhu, this is a good thing. You are so worried. Why, your wife ran away, so you don't like other girls. You want to destroy the roots of the He family."
"Old lady, look what you said, am I so short-sighted? I wouldn't be alive if I changed another tree."
Si Zhu denied it, but the more he came into contact with Lou Xiao'e, The more I understand, the more guilty I feel.
"Then tell me, what is this girl like? Do you like it or not? If you don't like it, just tell me early. If you seduce people like this and don't make it clear, you are causing harm to them."
The old lady likes it. Silly Zhu was true, and he always loved him, but in this case, he didn't like Silly Zhu, so he pointed it out directly.
Si Zhu was also sweating on his forehead after hearing this, "Grandma, please don't say that. I'm just a cook. I don't know anything. I don't have the ability to harm others. You Just be merciful and spare me."
The old lady gave Silly Zhu a disdainful look and said, "Why did your father give birth to such an irresponsible thing like you? You are so strong in bangs. Go away, where is the energy you had to set fire to the bad boy’s house in the Xu family?”
Silly Zhu’s face turned red with shame, and he lowered his head. The deaf old lady was still trembling. He said tremblingly.
“The men in 1.49 City are so angry that I am embarrassed as well.”
Seeing that the old lady had finally lost her temper, Shazhu quickly supported her and kept her smiling face.
"Grandma, please calm down, it's my grandson's fault. I'll go find her tomorrow and tell her...".
The old lady interrupted and glared at Silly Zhu, "What did you tell her?"
Silly Zhu didn't dare to face her, lowered her head and muttered, "What else can I say, tell her She said, I can’t climb high, lest you say I’m causing harm to others.”
“I’ll beat you to death, you’re nothing to play with.” The deaf old lady picked up her cane and was about to hit her, but Silly Zhu quickly stopped her.
"Grandma, it's not enough to explain it clearly. Wouldn't it be harmful to others?"
The deaf old lady sat down again panting and poked the ground heavily with her cane. .
"Zhuzi, Zhuzi, tell grandma the truth, do you like her at all? Don't let grandma know."
Silly Zhu was at a loss for a while, and it took him a long time to murmur.
“It’s not that I don’t like it….”
"That's it!" The deaf old lady didn't even listen to what he said, "I think she has this intention, and you like it too. Why are you so pretentious? Didn't you talk about the new society? The two of them like each other and are old enough. Hurry up and get the certificate. Grandma is still looking forward to seeing her great-grandson."
Silly Zhu has no confidence at all, "Grandma, how can she like me with her family's situation? She did it last time. Dad regrets it. I don’t think there’s any chance of this happening. Let’s forget about it.” What year is it now? We are in charge now. He can only act on the sidelines. You both agree. It would be strange if he dares to stop us."
"Why, you don't believe what grandma says. , I will leave my words here. These kind of people are smart people. Smart people will not do stupid things. You, a fool, have a stupid idea. It seems that your father called you a fool back then. That’s right.”
“Stop talking, take this girl over and show me what a good girl you are, you silly boy, you don’t know it.”
< br>…
The off-duty time has passed. Although Shazhu was not in the mood to cook, he still finished the meal before tidying up.
"Master, you haven't tasted my cooking yet. I fried this box alone. Please give me some advice." Apprentice Ma Hua came out with a lunch box and filled it with vegetables.
As soon as he reached Liu Lan, he was stopped and even his food was taken away.
"Silly boy, your master is busy today and has no time to try your cooking. Hurry up and give me the lid too. Today, this lunch box is mine."
Silly Zhu also pointed at Liu Lan, smiled and shook his head. Without saying anything, he changed his clothes and walked out of the canteen.
"Master He, you're here, let's go, if it's too late, they'll be closed."
Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu simply dealt with it at a small restaurant in Xianshui Hutong outside the factory. One mouthful.
"Master He, what's so good about this little restaurant, why did you fall in love with it?"
Lou Xiao'e was a little dissatisfied with what Sha Zhu had chosen. "We are all workers, it would be good to eat some of this. I said, you are so anxious to see me, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Silly Zhu tried to control his mood, After adjusting my sleeves, I wanted to lift my feet, but quickly stopped.
"There are many people in this place, let's talk as we walk."
Lou Xiao'e felt a little alienated from the messy environment of this place and a group of rough men who were obviously laborers, and the strong smell of sweat The smell of cheap liquor made her a little uncomfortable.
"Then let's talk while walking..."
It turned out that Lou Xiao'e wanted to learn English, but couldn't find anyone to teach her. Last time I heard that Zhu Xuefeng's younger siblings were being taught by someone, and she wanted Sha Zhu to ask if she could find a teacher for her too.
“Didn’t you say that he is your team leader? Just ask him directly, why don’t you come to me? Isn’t it unnecessary to take off your pants and fart?”
Silly Zhu was smooth-talking for a moment. , just popped up, look for it quickly.
"Miss Lou, I'm just a rude person. That's how I talk, don't mind."
Lou Xiao'e originally asked Silly Zhu to take off his pants and made him blush, but she still said with a smile.
"Master He, you are outspoken. Only when you treat people sincerely can you be so outspoken. I don't mind. This kind of slang sounds rough, but it makes sense and is quite interesting."
“You are also talking about our team leader. He has never entered the office a few times since he came back from the south. I heard that he was interning in a factory during the summer vacation, but I have never seen him once. This has not happened for several months. I met him.”
“I heard he was very busy and had forgotten about Xiao Zhou and me. I just found you. Didn’t you say he comes home often? Take me to see him. I can't find him at work. I can always squat at his house."
"Okay, I'll take you there. Should we take a bus or take a walk?"
< br>Lou Xiao'e looked at this simple face, but he was always evasive when speaking, and she was a little unhappy. This person was indeed like her mother said, honest and honest, and treated people with sincerity, but she always felt a bit stupid, but he was also too cruel. , I am already like this, why do I act like an idiot?
"Of course I'm going for a walk. It's only a long way away. It shouldn't take more than an hour to walk. People will just finish eating when we get there. Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate to bump into someone else's house for a meal."
Silly Zhu thought about it. Yes, these days, I go back late, and Uncle Zou’s family hasn’t been back for a long time. Xuesong Xuemei comes home from school, and sometimes Xuefeng comes back to cook, so it’s never too early.
Along the way, Lou Xiao'e always asked round and round about the affairs of Shazhu's family, and then she inquired deeply about what happened when she was a child. When she talked about the embarrassing things about Shazhu when she was a child, Shazhu also laughed along with her.
"Master He, you have been deceived when selling steamed buns. You are a very meticulous person, how could you be deceived."
Silly Zhu tried his best to distinguish, "My I was so young at that time, how could I know that the banknotes were fake? There are still many people who don’t know that the banknotes are fake.”
“That’s right, who would doubt this? That’s why your father called you. Silly Zhu, you’re kidding me a little bit.”
When it comes to dad, Silly Zhu feels bad. Just say you don’t care about yourself. You’ve settled the house and sent me monthly living expenses. Let’s just say you care, you haven’t shown up in all these years.
"If you don't talk about him, my father left early, and my sister and I almost forgot what he looked like."
Lou Xiao'e always said not to be too anxious along the way, and the two of them just said While chatting all the way, Shazhu unknowingly brushed up all the trivial things that happened when he was a child.
"Master He, I really didn't know you had such a hard time when you were a child..."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the man in front of her, it was really not easy, and she understood why he seemed to be more mature than his peers. This was all earned through hard work. Lou Xiao'e admired but also felt a little distressed.
Remind yourself to be careful about Xu Damao, but he has no idea of repaying kindness, which shows that he has a simple mind. This kind of person can endure hardships and has a tenacious personality. At this time, he is a good person to rely on.
My mother’s words are right. A woman must always find a man to rely on in her life. The most important thing is that this man must be honest. Silly Zhu has many problems, but he can treat others well. Lou Xiaoe is even more determined. own thoughts.
Rather than letting the unreliable father arrange it, it is better to find it yourself and find your own happiness. Lou Xiao'e is also a woman in the new era. This kind of thinking has already affected her unconsciously.
“This is not hard. It’s not hard if you can survive. It’s really hard and I haven’t survived it. I heard from my father that it was much harder than this before liberation. There are not many people who don’t have parents to protect them. I'm lucky to be alive."
Lou Xiao'e felt uncomfortable listening to Sha Zhu talking about her childhood. She had never been exposed to such a life. Even though it was so difficult in the past few years, her family was also in trouble. Never been hungry.
"Fortunately, it's all over. From now on, things will get better and better, just like our steel rolling mill, which is becoming more and more prosperous."
Si Zhu agrees with this point. It's been a lot better. Every household in the compound has undergone some changes, and the world is getting better and better.
Seeing that they were approaching Nanluogu Lane, Shazhu pointed at the grocery store, "Wait a minute. It's rare that I come back early today. They haven't gotten off work yet, so I'm going to buy something."
"This What did you buy?" Lou Xiao'e asked when she saw Silly Zhu coming out quickly carrying a pack of straw paper stuff, probably snacks.
"There is an ancestor in this yard. I call her grandma. She loves me very much. I haven't cooked for her for a while, so I bought some scattered things that she likes to eat to fool her."
" How old is the old lady? Can she still eat this? "
"The old lady was born in 1985. She is 77 years old this year. She is still strong and has bad teeth, but she likes to eat this. There is no way, but fortunately this thing is quite soft.”
Si Zhu raised the thing in his hand, and there were several square pieces inside, which were quite light. They looked like Shaqima. "
"Master He, can I meet this old birthday star later? "
"There's nothing wrong with that. "Si Zhu felt uneasy. Before he could say anything, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to see the old lady. This really had nothing to do with him.
"Then wait for me for a while, I can't go to visit the old lady empty-handed. "
Not noticing Silly Zhu's entanglement, Lou Xiao'e came out after a while carrying a few cans, "Let's go. "
Silly Zhu had nothing to say. The two continued to chat. No matter how long the journey was, it was time to finish. When they entered the yard, it was not even seven o'clock. The third uncle was busy as usual.
“Third uncle, you are really busy, it’s such a hot day. ”
"Pillar, yo, this is..."
The third uncle raised his head and looked at people through the glass, always giving people the feeling of being watched.
"This is my colleague. Come over here if you have something to do. You are busy with your work. I have to go over."
Silly Zhu did not dare to stay long, so he took Lou Xiaoe to Lao Zhu's house. Pointing to the west wing.
"This is your team leader's home. The vegetable garden over there also belongs to their home. Come on, I'll take you to have a look. I'm afraid this kid is not at home. You don't know. He comes back often to do it. Let’s have a meal and run away after finishing it.”
Lou Xiao’e knew that Zhu Xuefeng was still in school, so she thought she would come back to cook a meal for her younger siblings before rushing back to school.
“I didn’t expect the group leader to be so kind to my younger siblings. I am very busy going to school...”
