Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 427

It was noon in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Liu Hongchang came back to the office from the back chef's cooking instruction, he received a call from Yao Guofa, telling him to make good preparations and prepare a table of delicious dishes for Xia Zhimin in two days.

As soon as he heard it, he immediately agreed.

It's hard to say about other things, but cooking for Xia Zhimin is what he promised before, so he must make Xia Zhimin eat happily and eat to his heart's content.

Moreover, Yao Guofa didn't say what dishes to prepare, and he didn't ask, anyway, no matter what dishes he wanted to eat, he could make them in time, at worst, he just bought them directly from the system store.

In addition, he also knew that this was a test deliberately set by Xia Zhimin for him. He wanted to see how good he was as a master chef, and whether he could handle such hospitality without specific requirements.

He guessed its purpose, on the one hand, it should be greedy and want to eat the delicacies he made, on the other hand, it should also be to entertain the leaders above and conduct an inspection of him in the future.

He didn't take this very seriously, no matter what happens at that time, anyway, soldiers will come to cover up, water will come to cover up, not to mention the leaders of the city, even the leaders of the province and the capital, he is not in vain at all .

After hanging up the phone, he walked to the couch and lay down halfway, drinking tea leisurely.

Just after drinking a few sips of tea, Liu Zi walked in with some probes.

"Hey, brother, are you busy?"

"Don't be playful with me, put your farts!"

Liu Hongchang raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Zi, and said in a somewhat annoyed manner.

"Well, Su Hou asked me to play cards, and he still needs someone. Are you coming?"

Liu Zi took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Liu Hongchang frowned, then nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

In the past, when the predecessor was not married, he often played cards with Liu Zi and Su Hou to kill his free time.

Later, after his predecessor married He Wenhui, he didn't dare to play poker anymore because of too much pressure in life.

However, he doesn't have this pressure. It just so happens that he is also a little bored, so it's good to play cards and cultivate his sentiments by the way.

"Got it!"

The six sons were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly led Liu Hongchang to the warehouse.

These days, the most popular recreational activities are nothing more than playing chess and cards. What's more, he doesn't even have a partner now. If he doesn't play cards, he doesn't know what he can do?

In this way, Liu Hongchang spent the whole afternoon on the poker game, and did not end until four o'clock in the afternoon to prepare for the evening business.

Before leaving get off work in the evening, Liu Hongchang found time to go out again, found a corner where no one was around, took half a piece of pork from the system warehouse, carried it back to the cafeteria, and distributed it to all the employees, which was fulfilling his previous promise.

When the workers saw the big fat pig, they all cheered, and they supported and loved Liu Hongchang, the director of the canteen even more.

You know, usually they can only pick up some kitchen waste materials, such as sheep bones, pig bones, etc., and they have to pay a symbolic amount of money. Only during the holidays can they get some pork and fish.

In the end, after the six sons worked on their behalf, each of them received more than five catties of fat and thin pork, which was more than the benefits they received during the New Year and festivals in the past.

When it was time to get off work, Liu Hongchang also took his share of pork and rode a bicycle to the garment factory to pick up He Wenhui home.

As soon as He Wenhui came out of the factory, he saw a large piece of pork hanging from the handlebar from a distance, and his eyes lit up immediately, thinking that now the family could finally eat meat.

Soon, under the envious gazes of Gao Junling and other factory workers, she sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and still hugged Liu Hongchang's waist tightly.

At this moment, for the first time, she felt a little proud of being Liu Hongchang's wife.

Liu Hongchang didn't care about He Wenhui's small thoughts, he greeted Gao Junling with a smile, and then rode his bicycle home.

Not long after, they came back to the door, just in time to meet Er Qing's mother and third aunt chatting in the yard.

Liu Hongchang's ears were sharp, and he could hear Erqing's mother complaining about her family's disadvantages from a long distance, saying that their family was used by He Wenyuan as a gunman, and now they are not human inside or outside.

And the third aunt was comforting Er Qing's mother, saying that everyone is a neighbor in the neighborhood, and they don't see each other when they look up and look down, so don't worry about it so much.

Hearing this, Liu Hongchang frowned, thinking that since he wants to continue living here, it is still necessary to improve the relationship with the neighbors in the neighborhood.

Otherwise, just cursing a few words behind his back is disgusting enough.

So, his heart moved, he took a few steps forward and shouted with a smile: "Mother Erqing, Aunt Third, we are chatting!"

When Erqing's mother and third aunt heard Liu Hongchang's voice, they were taken aback immediately, and turned around nervously to look at Liu Hongchang.

Afterwards, they were immediately attracted by the large piece of pork hanging from the handlebar, and their throats couldn't stop throbbing.

Seeing their reactions, Liu Hongchang felt happy, and said with a smile: "Mother Erqing, Aunt Third, the previous incident was just a misunderstanding, please don't worry about it. It just so happened that the cafeteria distributed a piece of pork today, and I will explain later. Let me give you a taste of hard dishes, it's a little sympathy from Wen Hui and me."

He Wenhui stood beside Liu Hongchang, and although he felt a little bit sad when he heard this, he still nodded and agreed, "Yes! Erqing's mother, third aunt, it was my sister Wenyuan who was not sensible before, you guys But don’t take it to heart! When Hong Chang finishes the meat, I’ll bring it to you.”

"Ouch! What a shame!"

The third aunt immediately said with joy when she heard the words.

Erqing's mother opened her mouth, intending to refuse, but she couldn't bear to part with the delicious pork.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We are all neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. My mother is blind and always stays at home alone. In the future, I will trouble you to chat with her more to relieve boredom. Woolen cloth!"

Liu Hongchang glanced at Erqing's mother and said with a smile.

"It should be, it should be!"

The third aunt nodded hurriedly and said.

She and Yu Qiuhua didn't have any feud at all, and she usually chatted with everyone, and she could still have delicious food when chatting with Yu Qiuhua, a fool would know how to choose.

As she said that, she also nudged Erqing's mother with her elbow, signaling Erqing's mother not to hold on to that matter, but to get the benefits first.

Erqing's mother hesitated for a while, but finally squeezed out a smile, and said awkwardly: "Hong Chang, look at me, I feel a little awkward in my heart, yes, I picked you for being a hooligan last time." But in the end, my family Erqing was beaten! Look at what happened!"

"Mother Erqing, I know that you are not to blame for this matter. Let's talk about it. This matter is over and the story is over. We will live happily in the future. If you have something to say, I can help you." absolutely unambiguous.”

Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

"Ham! All right, all right, you've already said that, what else can I do, just do as you said, this matter is over, let's not mention it again in the future!"

Erqing's mother glanced at the piece of pork, then sighed, waved her hand and said.

Originally, she and the He family didn't really have any deep hatred, since Liu Hongchang didn't bother with her that much, and he planned to send some pork to their family to taste, she couldn't hold on to it any longer.

What's more, now that Liu Hongchang has become the director of the canteen of the second canteen, even if she wants to hold on to Liu Hongchang, she can't do anything about it. It's better to eat the benefits of her mouth first.

"Yes, don't mention it anymore. I'll go into the kitchen to make braised pork. When it's done, I'll ask Wen Hui to bring it to you."

Liu Hongchang nodded and smiled, then pushed the bicycle to the front of the hut, and then carried the pork into his kitchen.

Seeing this, He Wenhui hurriedly smiled at the third aunt and Erqing's mother, and then followed behind Liu Hongchang, wanting to help Liu Hongchang.

The third aunt looked at He Wenhui's back, and couldn't help but said with some emotion: "This old He family is really blessed. Seeing that life is going to be difficult, they can find such a good son-in-law as Liu Hongchang."

"That's right! Who would have thought that a cook would become the director of the canteen!"

Erqing's mother said sourly.

Originally, she thought that Liu Hongchang was not as promising as his family's Daqing, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Liu Hongchang would become the director of the cafeteria, leaving her family's Daqing far behind.

"Yes! Who would have thought of that!"

The third aunt nodded, with a look of envy in her eyes.

These days, nothing is as important as eating and drinking, and since Liu Hongchang became the director of the cafeteria, obviously the family no longer has to worry about eating and drinking.

In this way, the two of them each said a few bitter words, and then quickly went home, waiting for He Wenhui to deliver the meat to their door.

Not long after, a tempting smell of meat wafted from He's kitchen, causing the neighbors in the courtyard to swallow their saliva.

At this time, He Wenyuan, He Wentao, and He Wenda and their three siblings also came back from playing outside. As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled the smell of meat, and then hurried into their kitchen.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

When He Wenyuan saw the delicious braised pork in the pot, his impression of Liu Hongchang suddenly changed a lot, and he even called the word brother-in-law very fluently.

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat meat!"

He Wenda leaned on the stove on tiptoe, staring straight at the pot, only thinking that Liu Hongchang could get him a piece of meat, even He Wenhui, the eldest sister, forgot to shout.

He Wentao stood at the door of the kitchen looking at the meat in the pot, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then glanced at Liu Hongchang again, then gritted his teeth silently and turned back to the house.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat meat, he just doesn't want Liu Hongchang to look down upon him. Moreover, although he won't deliberately target Liu Hongchang now, he still doesn't regard Liu Hongchang as his brother-in-law in his heart.

"Okay, okay, you all go to wash your face first, and you can have dinner later."

Liu Hongchang waved his hand and said.

As he spoke, he glanced at He Wentao's leaving back, feeling that this kid was a bit interesting.

Among the four brothers and sisters of the He family, He Wentao is the one with the most backbone and the most rebellious, and he is also the most likely to rise to the top in the future.

However, if there is no one to teach him well, it is more likely that he will become a reckless man who does things without thinking in the future.

Although he could understand it, it was too early to talk about it now, and he might not know how long he would stay in this world. Therefore, he was not interested in teaching this cheap brother-in-law for the time being.

After he rushed He Wenyuan and He Wenda to wash their hands and faces, he quickly turned around and took out two big bowls from the cupboard, filled two big bowls of braised pork, and asked He Wenhui to bring them to Erqing's mother and third aunt.

Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, especially neighbors, it is worthwhile to ease the relationship with a bowl of pork, at least you don't have to be cursed behind your back in the future.

This is also the truth he has learned after experiencing several film and television worlds. If it had been when he had just traveled to Qinman Courtyard, he would not have bothered to talk to these neighbors, and if he dared to provoke him, he would clean it up in minutes. It's like he sent Yi Zhonghai directly into the little black room.

In fact, if he is allowed to return to Qinman Courtyard again, he will definitely take good care of his neighbors in another way.

For example, let Yi Zhonghai get rid of the roots of troubles and live a good life with Da Ma, let Shazhu marry a hag and stay away from Qin Huairu, let Jia Zhang marry He Daqing and fulfill her wish, let Xu Damao become a eunuch and become a good person, Let Liu Haizhong retire early and take care of his life at home, let Yan Bugui separate from his children early, so as not to have to calculate so hard.

What a pity!

He shook his head, put these thoughts behind him, then filled the pot with braised pork, and then washed the pot and fried vegetables.

After a while, He Wenhui came back after delivering the meat, and seeing that Liu Hongchang had already filled the meat, she brought the meat into the house.

At this time, He Wenyuan, He Wentao, and He Wenda were all sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal to be served. When they saw the meat being served, they couldn't wait to move their chopsticks.

"What are you doing? Have you forgotten all the rules Mom said?"

When Yu Qiuhua heard the movement, she hurriedly reprimanded her.

"Snapped!"

He Wenyuan curled his lips when he heard this, and slapped his chopsticks on the table angrily.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

He Wenda glanced at the braised pork on the table, and said with a pitiful face.

"Don't eat, my brother-in-law hasn't served yet!"

He Wentao glared at He Wenda, and said angrily.

He Wenhui looked at He Wenyuan and He Wenda distressedly, then at Yu Qiuhua, her lips twitched, but finally she didn't speak.

She didn't want to annoy Liu Hongchang again because of this matter, anyway, she just waited a little longer, not so short of time.

At this moment, she didn't even realize that she had changed.

If it was in the past, how could she make excuses for this matter.

He Wenda heard He Wentao's words, and saw that Yu Qiuhua didn't say anything, so he pouted a little aggrievedly and put down his chopsticks, looking eagerly at the braised pork on the table.

The atmosphere in the room also became a little silent for a while, until Liu Hongchang walked in with a plate of vegetables.

He glanced at the untouched braised pork on the table, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, then stepped forward, put the vegetables on the table, and greeted with a smile: "Okay, the dishes are ready, let's eat Bar!"

As soon as the words were finished, He Wenda quickly picked up a piece of fatty braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Seeing this, He Wenyuan was not far behind. He Wentao gritted his teeth and soon joined the cooking team.

At the same time, in the house of Third Aunt and Er Qing's mother, there was also a sound of gobbling.
