Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Silly Zhu hummed a ditty and went back to the courtyard.

Thinking about what to have for dinner tonight.

This is a big problem for Shazhu now.

Private restaurants are different from factory cafeterias. The ingredients are abundant, and among the little cooks there is also the boss's eyeliner.

At the beginning, Silly Zhu didn’t know about these things, just like in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, when cooking, put more ingredients and put less dishes on the plates for the guests. There are only dishes left, and then quietly take them home, or hide in a place where no one is around, and gobble them up.

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

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

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

What's more, the boss knows exactly what kind of vegetables he ate secretly, how many there were, and where he ate them.

Silly Zhu was speechless and could only be punished silently.

From then on, I never dared to do it like before.

You can’t steal food from the cafeteria. According to Sha Zhu’s current salary of more than 30 yuan a month, although he can’t afford big fish and meat every day, he can still manage to be full with white flour and steamed buns.

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

Silly Zhu was also very happy, because Qin Huairu's reason was that the two were going to get married soon, and they couldn't afford to have 48 legs at that time, so they had to buy some new furniture, new quilts, new washbasins, and buy some wedding candies to give away. to the children.

As a result, Shazhu only has five yuan for living expenses left every month, so he can only hide at home and eat black corn buns.

It's just that BangGeng's performance is good today, Shazhu thinks it's time to celebrate, maybe drink a bowl of Erhe noodles, but there's no noodles at home, do you want to borrow some from sister Qin?

If you borrow it, sister Xiaoqin will definitely give it to you, but it seems a bit embarrassing.

What's the matter with a big man borrowing something from a woman?

Also, sister Xiaoqin doesn't think that I can't even afford food and doesn't want to marry me, does she?
Thinking of this, Shazhu's thoughts were shaken a little, and he was going to go back to eat black corn bread.

As soon as he put the key into the lock, there was a crisp sound behind him.

"Silly, just came back from get off work?"

Turning around, Qin Huairu was looking at him affectionately, and there was a tingle in Shazhu's bones.

Especially today, Qin Huairu was wearing a floral padded jacket, her hair had just been washed, and the loose skin was on her shoulders. The scent of shampoo made Sha Zhu a little intoxicated.

Seeing Silly Zhu's squinting look, Qin Huairu twitched her lips cryptically, brushed her hair lightly with her small hands, and said in a crisp voice, "Silly Zhu, stick, why didn't you come back with you."

"He forgot his key at the hotel, so he went back to get it."

Sha Zhu half-spoken, seemed to think of something, scratched his head and said, "Aren't you going to work today?"

When it came to going to work, Qin Huairu's complexion darkened visible to the naked eye, and he sighed softly: "Silly Zhu, it's not that my sister doesn't want to go to work, but that the workers in the workshop are targeting me."

"Aiming at you?" Silly Zhu was a little confused. In this day and age, the relationship between people is quite simple, especially the relationship between co-workers is more profound.

Generally, there will be no crowding out of workers.

"You forgot, Yi Zhonghai has asked for leave for a while." Qin Huairu looked miserable.

"What does Yi Zhonghai's leave of absence have to do with you... ah. That's right." Silly Zhu was halfway through, and suddenly understood.

Qin Huairu relies on Yi Zhonghai to rely on Yi Zhonghai in the workshop. He is lazy whenever he can on weekdays, and he also likes to bully other workers.

Now that Yi Zhonghai was no longer in the workshop, those workers would naturally have to take revenge.

Don't look at Qin Huairu's natural sharp teeth and sharp mouth, which can fascinate Silly Zhu.

But in front of those single-minded workers, it is useless at all.

In the past, when Shazhu was working in the canteen of the rolling mill, he was able to help Qin Huairu solve these troubles by virtue of being a chef.

Now that Shazhu has been fired, there is nothing he can do to help him.

Shazhu is a smart person, knowing that he can't help Qin Huairu, he changed the subject.

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

"It seems to be quite serious. Master Yi's health has been getting worse since Liu Hongchang took away the position of uncle last time." Qin Huairu said with a smile on his face: "Later, Xu Damao's bad guy was shoveled by big mom again. The green vegetables in front of the door, isn’t that hitting Master Yi in the face?”

"Yes, Master Yi is an eighth-level fitter. He is the top in the rolling mill. He has also been a master in our courtyard for most of his life. When did he suffer from this kind of anger? It's normal to not be able to stand it for a while. Speaking of which, Master Yi was very kind to me, He Yuzhu. When my father left us siblings and ran away with the White Widow, it was Master Yi and Da Ma who extended a helping hand when our brothers and sisters were in the most difficult time. Also, later , I was imprisoned in the fence, and it was Master Yi who dragged me out. As a human being, you can’t forget your kindness, you can’t forget your roots, I should visit Master Yi.”

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's eyes, shrank his head, and said in a low voice: "When you visit a patient, you have to bring a gift. You know that I don't have any money with me. Can you give me ten yuan?"

After speaking, Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu expectantly.

He has already figured it out, to buy a box of snacks in Daoxiang Village, it only costs five yuan, and with the remaining five yuan, he can eat a few meals of white flour steamed buns this month.

After eating black corn buns for several months in a row, the sour water in Shazhu's stomach burst out, and his eyes turned green, which meant that his body was strong, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it long ago.

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

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

"Save it? Sister Qin, didn't you say that the money was going to buy furniture when we got married?" Silly Zhu became anxious when he heard this, and his voice raised a lot: "You, you won't Are you planning to marry me again?"

Qin Huairu glared at him: "Silly Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about! Am I, Qin Huairu, the kind of woman who doesn't count? Don't you understand my feelings for you these years? I never thought that you are now Suspect me!"

As she said that, big teardrops overflowed from her eye sockets, slid down her smooth and fair cheeks, fell to the ground, and landed in Sha Zhu's heart.

"Sister Xiaoqin, don't cry, it's my fault, I shouldn't believe you!"

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

Qin Huairu shook off his hand, and said in a cold voice: "Silly Zhu, to tell you the truth, I plan to keep the money for the childbirth."

"Have a baby?" Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, then felt ecstasy in his heart, and looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief: "You, you mean to have a baby with me?"

"Stupid, besides you, can it be another man?" Qin Huairu covered her mouth with her small hand, shook her body twice, and said coquettishly.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was already jumping up and down in excitement, a sneer sneered at the corner of her mouth, and she stared at Sha Zhu: "I just didn't expect that I would be misunderstood by you when I was planning for the future of the two of us. It's icy cold."

"Sister Xiaoqin, I was wrong, I'm a bastard."

"Snapped!"

As Silly Zhu spoke, he slapped himself hard.

"Okay, we are a family, I can still be angry with you." Qin Huairu saw that he had successfully survived a crisis, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense to Shazhu: "Bang Gan is coming back soon, I have to go back to cook quickly, so I won't be angry." chatted with you."

"Okay, go slowly"

Silly Zhu didn't get the money and was slapped in the face, but he was flattered in his heart.

He is nearly 40 years old this year. Other men at his age have children who have already entered junior high school, and some even have grandchildren in their arms (of course, Xu Damao, who can't lay eggs, can't be counted among them).

Silly Zhu dreamed of having a child of his own, 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 in the Sixth Hospital once said that if a woman is over 35 years old, if she becomes pregnant again and has a child, it will be bad for her health and may even be dangerous.

As the ultimate dog licker, Sha Zhu is of course unwilling to let Qin Huairu take such a risk in order to have a child.

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

Pushing open the door, the room was in a mess, the table and chairs were covered with dust, Sha Zhu didn't care, went straight to the cabinet and opened it.

His eyes suddenly widened.

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

Silly Zhu rubbed his eyes, making sure that he read correctly.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that there was a rat?

No, the door of the cupboard is tightly closed, and the outside is still plugged in with a latch, so the mouse must not be able to open it.

There are also no mouse holes on the outside of the cabinets.
Seemingly thinking of something, Sha Zhu was startled, and hurried into the back room, and took out a flashlight from under the pillow at the head of the bed.

Gently push the switch, the flashlight did not shine.

"Damn, it's broken again!"

Sha Zhu stretched out his palm, and slapped the flashlight twice, and the flashlight flickered twice, emitting a bright light.

"Oh, if you don't fix you, you don't know who is the uncle!"

Sha Zhu smiled triumphantly, went to the cabinet with a flashlight, and shone inside.

With just one glance, he gritted his teeth in anger.

With the help of the dim light, it can be clearly seen that a hole was bitten by a mouse in the cabinet, and the hole spread along the wall, and it did not know where it went.

"Damn rat!"

The night's ration was eaten, and Sha Zhu was furious.

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

Unexpectedly, the opening of the hole is on the wall, and even if the mouth of the thermos bottle is tilted, there is no way to pour it in.

In desperation, Sha Zhu splashed the thermos bottle on the wall. His palm was already sticky in his impatience, and suddenly his palm slipped, and the thermos bottle hit the wall directly.

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

There was only a bang and kick, and the inner liner of the thermos bottle shattered, and the hot water splashed into the air. Sha Zhu was caught off guard and scalded his right hand by the hot water.

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

The pain was so severe that Shazhu had to squat on the ground.

I don't know how long it took before Shazhu broke free from the pain, looking at the bright red palms that were scalded by hot water, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Suppressing the pain, Shazhu rummaged around the room, and finally found a box of toothpaste from the drawer.

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

In the toothpaste box, there is only a piece of toothpaste skin rolled into a ball.

He tried to squeeze, but couldn't squeeze a little.

Throwing away the toothpaste annoyed, Shazhu looked at the empty room and didn't know what to do for a moment.

It stands to reason that if you are scalded by hot water, you should go to the hospital immediately to apply red medicine.

Toothpaste can be used instead of red syrup.

But now the toothpaste is gone
Do you want to borrow it from Sister Xiaoqin?
No, if Sister Xiaoqin knew that I was so stupid that I was scalded by hot water after catching mice, she would definitely laugh at me.

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

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

In addition, he happened to be able to have a meal at Yi Zhonghai's house.

It's just that Yi Zhonghai is sick now, and when he visits the sick, he has to bring some gifts.

Silly Zhu searched at home for a long time, but couldn't find anything to give away.

"Yes, I remember that there are a few small fish drying in front of Yan Bugui's house, which can just be given to Yi Zhonghai."

Silly Zhu stepped out of the house, closed the door, and tiptoed towards the front yard.

It just happened to be a coincidence, today was Huang Xiaocui's prenatal checkup day, and the entire Yan family was dispatched, and there was no one in the house.

Silly Zhu got it easily.

There were five fish in total, three big and two small, Sha Zhu didn't have the nerve to take them all away, only three big ones.

Holding the three fish in his hands, Silly Zhu's confidence was boosted, and he hummed a little song all the way to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

The distance was very far, and Sha Zhu shouted at the top of his voice: "Master Yi, are you at home? I'm here to visit you."

inside the house.

Yi Zhonghai was lying on the bed moaning in pain, when he heard Sha Zhu's voice, he glared at Big Mom.

"Old woman, go and close the door, don't let silly Zhu in."

The aunt put down the wet towel and said suspiciously: "Old Yi, that person outside is a fool, he is your carefully selected pensioner, what kind of anger are you getting at?"

"Bah!" Yi Zhonghai said with a cold face, "I understand now that Sha Zhu is a white-eyed wolf."

"How do you say that?"

"You think, I spent so much money to save Sha Zhu from the fence, how many times has he been to our house since he came out?" Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

This reminded the three mothers: "Don't tell me I haven't noticed, I haven't seen Shazhu for several months."

"Of course, he hangs out with our goddaughter all day long, so he will remember us." Yi Zhonghai's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "I see, I want him to take care of us, Biden It's hard every day."
