Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 55 Is the daughter in love?

After dinner, a group of children gathered in front of the water tank and carefully looked at the fish in the water. It was very lively, and the Jia family's stick figure was also crowded in the middle. Zhu Xuesong and Zhu Xuemei didn't scold him, after all, he was just a little kid.

Zhu Xuefeng had already gone into the house to read a book, and added some knowledge about mechanical processing. He had seen a lot, but had never understood it systematically. This period of time was quite rewarding.

Zhu Xuefeng wants to quickly improve his fitter skills. Nowadays, all kinds of equipment are lacking, and many things have to be made by fitters. He can't just ask for help for everything in the future.

"Brother, I saw Sister Xia entering the outer courtyard."

Xiao Xuemei rushed in to report the news, her hands were wet and her shirt was splashed with a lot of water.

Zhu Xuefeng put down the book, stood up, and pointed at Zhu Xuemei's top.

"Wash yourself for a while, and it will be full of water. Tell the children outside not to fall in."

The water tank is not small, more than one meter high and one meter in diameter. If you fall in, it will be difficult to climb out. Zhu Xuefeng does not want the tank he just bought to be smashed and saved.

Pushing open the door, Xia Yuhong was walking into the front yard. The setting sun was falling on her, making it dazzling for a moment.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and Zhu Xuefeng came forward. Xia Yuhong smiled slightly and entered the north room, followed by Zhu Xuefeng.

Xia Yuhong casually found a seat, sat down on the kang, and slapped her nose in disgust.

"This smells musty. Why don't you listen? Why don't you wash it and dry it in the sun? I can't stand you for being so lazy. You look like a dog on the outside, but you are indeed a loser. Among them, do you want me to take care of it for you?"

I patted the shabby quilt. It was such a thin quilt and it barely fit. How could I survive the winter in the past?

Zhu Xuefeng was a little embarrassed. He was told again that he really should wash his hands. He hadn't washed them since he came back from the mountains. Alas, he had to deal with this matter at some time. He was not a decent person. His younger brother and sister had not washed theirs for a long time. This eldest brother It's really outrageous.

I’m really not used to washing large items by hand anymore, so I want to play around with the whole washing machine, which has nothing. In the early days, it only had a motor and a timer. This relay can solve the problem without using a circuit. You can try it...

Zhu Xuefeng was distracted again, trying hard to recall a few simple functions, thinking about when to check the information, and what stage of development it had reached now.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng's dazed look, Xia Yuhong thought she was exaggerating, so she didn't say anything more. She opened her schoolbag, took out two notebooks, and handed them to Zhu Xuefeng.
"Here are my notes for this week, take a good look at them."

Zhu Xuefeng quickly took back Lenovo and took the notes. He couldn't accept it. He said he didn't want it last time. He didn't want to review it anymore, but he didn't dare to say this.

He took it honestly and flipped through it. It was very detailed. Yes, Xia Yuhong stayed up late to make it again.

"Next time, just let me read your notes. Don't waste time organizing them. Your time is more valuable than mine now!"

Xia Yuhong looked at Zhu Xuefeng and saw that Zhu Xuefeng was serious.

"Okay, if you don't mind the mess, I can save the trouble. Last time you were running around for more than ten days in a row. Have you read your notes?"

"It's over, it's over, don't worry about this."

"You're not at work. Why are you always running around? Why don't you study hard?"

Xia Yuhong was probably angry, blaming Zhu Xuefeng for wasting crucial time.

Zhu Xuefeng walked to the kang, fumbled for a while, pulled out a large box, and handed it to Xia Yuhong.

"Give it to you."

This was probably the first time Xia Yuhong received a gift from Zhu Xuefeng, so her attention immediately shifted.

"Can I open it now and take a look!" His eyes were shining with little stars, and he blinked at Zhu Xuefeng.

"The things are given to you, and the decision-making power is left to you." Zhu Xuefeng also looked at Xia Yuhong with a smile.

Xia Yuhong hesitated for a while, with a troubled face, but finally did not open it.

"I brought it back from the beach. Isn't the beach fun?"

The conversation between the two went further and further, from the sea to the beach...

It took a long time for the two of them to come out. Xia Yuhong's face was red and must have been eaten by pigs again. Zhu Xuefeng followed behind with a big bag and put it in the car as if nothing happened.

The two of them were pushing the cart in the alley...

………… “Mom, where do you put these things?”

Xia Yuhong refused to let Zhu Xuefeng come to her home, which shattered Zhu Xuefeng's wish to meet Xia Yuhong's parents out of pure curiosity.

Xia Yuhong could only carry the bag back by herself. It didn't take a few steps, but it was too heavy. Zhu Xuefeng was actually afraid that there would be too many things and they would spoil, so he didn't send more.

Several kilograms of yellow mutton, wild boar meat, several kilograms of live shrimps, live crabs, and several kilograms of dried seafood, totaling almost 20 kilograms.

"Daughter, what are you carrying? Why is it so heavy? It couldn't have been given to you by your classmate again."

"Mom, don't ask, there are living things in there, we need to raise them quickly."

Xia Yuhong's mother came over and looked at Xia Yuhong suspiciously.

Xia Yuhong was anxious to go back and open the treasure chest. She ignored her mother and turned around and went in.

"Lao Xia, come here quickly, I can't do this job."

Seeing several huge crabs waving their big pincers, they must have lost their bindings. The crabs were free again and were venting their anger at being bound. Xia Yuhong's mother gave in immediately.

Lao Xia wore glasses, lowered his head slightly, glanced over the lenses, put the book on the table, and walked over.

"You don't make a fuss about anything. My daughter learned from you."

Opening the bag, I was a little confused. What kind of classmate did this girl have? The size of these big crabs and prawns, I haven't seen them for a long time. There were also two big lumps of meat, this, this, this...

I need to have a good chat with my daughter again. Last time, the slut said she was copying notes for a classmate and the classmate gave her a gift. This time.

He looked at his wife, pointed to Xia Yuhong's room, and whispered:
"Her mother, isn't my daughter already dating someone?"

Xia Ma saw that the bag was sealed and the danger was gone, so she said it indifferently.

"It's very strange that I have a partner. She will be 18 next year and can get married. When I was this old, she was already in my belly."

This bitch is unreasonable. Father Xia shook his head and went to clean up the shrimps and crabs. There were too many shrimps and crabs. Let’s raise half of them. Don’t let them die. If you mess up, you will probably not have a good life.

There are also those two pieces of meat that can only be marinated. There is not enough salt at home. Look at Xia's mother and think about Xia Yuhong. Come on, go for a run after cleaning up. Who said that I have the lowest status at home?

There is also a bag of dry goods, which is more than what I was given. So what is the situation?

Xia's mother looked at the old man, well, he was quite conscious, and tiptoed to Xia Yuhong's door...

Xia Yuhong was immersed in the beautiful shells and conches, with a smile on her face...

…………

I tidied up the vegetable garden in the morning, but the harvest is still far away. The two hens are not in good condition. I don’t know whether it is because they are widowed or imprisoned. The egg production rate is not high. They may not be suffering from depression.

On average, it’s only one per day. Fortunately, I don’t count on them. If they were still raised in the village, the situation would probably be better. It’s a shame for the two hens.

Last night, Director Zhang asked Silly Zhu to take the lead and asked Zhu Xuefeng to go to the steel rolling mill. He didn't say anything, and he didn't know anything even if he asked.

Okay, let's go now. There's nothing urgent to do anyway. Zhu Xuefeng rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill, said hello to the security guard and went in. Now he got employee benefits and was exempted from registration.

When we arrived at the Logistics Department, Director Zhang happened to be there. When he saw Zhu Xuefeng, he quickly stepped forward and took Zhu Xuefeng's hand.

"The eldest nephew is here. The leader is looking for you. Let's not make the leader wait. Let's talk when we get back."

He handed Zhu Xuefeng a bag of tea.

"I've helped you a lot, Uncle Zhang. I'll pack you this year's new tea and try it when you go back."

Zhu Xuefeng was at a loss. What was going on? He met with the leader before he even got to work. The leader of the steel rolling mill was a department-level cadre, and not just anyone who wanted to meet him. He had already been rewarded last time, but the ticket had not been spent yet.

I followed Director Zhang to the factory office building in a daze, and went directly to the outside of the secretary's office. Secretary Zhu Xuefeng still saw a lot of people, and he was easy to talk to, so he no longer felt burdened.

Director Zhang knocked on the door. The door was ajar and not closed.
