A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 265 Really changed

While He Yuzhu diligently poured water for Li Xiang to wash the dishes, he talked about his own troubles.

"Brother, I only say this to you. Except for the year when my unreliable father left, I felt that money was tight. Even when the rain forced me to buy a bicycle, I didn't feel it. Money is so hard to come by."

"Then what do you mean now, I'll lend you some money?" Li Xiang, who only listened to the brief introduction, didn't think much about it and just thought he wanted to borrow money.

"Hey, that's not the case. I won't hide it. There can still be a few rattling sounds in the pocket." He Yuzhu shook his pocket in a gesture, vaguely indicating that he still had it.

Then he sighed again and said:

"Juanzi said that the family's savings cannot be touched and should be kept for the children. My extra money is gone. Now my salary is not enough for my family's expenses. I have to find a way to earn more."

"I remember when I first went to college, you got 37 yuan. It's been several years and it hasn't changed at all." Speaking of this, Li Xiang felt a little strange.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills are not bad. Why has he been delayed for so many years at level 8 without any movement at all?

"Who can say it is not? It's not just the time when you went to college. Two years earlier than that, I passed the 8th grade. If you think about it, there has been no movement for five or six years." When mentioning this, He Yuzhu I also feel aggrieved.

I took the test again and again, but failed every time.

Although the upper limit of the factory cafeteria is low, the highest level can only be passed to Level 5.

But he is still a million miles away. Even if he takes one more exam and gets 41 yuan, it will still be much better than now.

"No, if your craftsmanship is not good, then why do Deputy Director Li and Director Yang keep asking you to be the receptionist?" Li Xiang took the steamed bun staple food brought by the waiter and turned to remind him. .

He Yuzhu and others walked away before he came over and whispered: "I was just wondering if it had something to do with me taking things home."

He Yuzhu has not been promoted for so many years, and it is not that He Yuzhu has not thought about it.

He wondered to himself whether it was related to this. If it was indeed related, he made a calculation.

What you get home is more than what you earn when you upgrade to that level.

Putting aside whether it was worth it or not, if he was asked to stop, he couldn't help but feel unconvinced.

The chef extends his hand, which is the default rule for generations.

Until now, no one has said anything wrong. If everyone thinks it is wrong, why should the chef be included in the eight members?

"I think it has something to do with what you said, but it shouldn't be the whole reason." Li Xiang was hungry, so before the food came, he tore up a steamed bun and ate it.

"Then besides this, I really can't think of anything else." He Yuzhu shook his head and couldn't think of any other reasons.

"That's what I think. It's a mess inside and out now. You should have heard about what happened at Dashilan last month. Brother Zhuzhu, he set up three tables and was smashed by those people. , and even dragged him out for a couple of laps on the pretext of having fun, so don’t do any of your mat-making activities for the time being." Li Xiang glanced around and advised in a low voice.

"Don't worry about this. You don't need to tell me. I don't have the guts to do it now. I don't dare to take any other risks. The two brothers are here to say that my senior brother introduced me to a reselling business a while ago. I couldn't bear to get my hands on the spice work. I'm not stupid. In peacetime, this was nothing. But if I were caught now, they wouldn't be able to peel off the skin. I have a good status, and I'm not old enough to open the pot. At that time, no..." He Yuzhu straightened his face and came closer to Li Xiang to respond. His voice became lower and lower. He stopped talking when he saw the waiter bringing the dishes here.

Two dishes, one half-vegetarian and one full-vegetarian.

A plate of spinach and scrambled eggs, and a plate of steamed rice noodles. If two people just eat and don't drink, that's enough.

As soon as the dishes were served, the chopsticks in his hands started to wave.

Li Xiang ate a few mouthfuls of food before he remembered and continued: "Brother Zhuzi, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought of being so thoughtful in the past. It seems that things will be the same after getting married."

"No, I don't think about myself now, I also have to think about Juanzi and the children, and Yu Yu. The person she's looking for this time is a policeman. As the eldest brother, I can't let her be honored, and I can't return the favor. She must be embarrassed in front of her husband’s family.”

Li Xiang nodded, feeling that He Yuzhu was like a big brother.

"Your worry about money may have something to do with Sister Yuyu's upcoming marriage." Li Xiang asked.

"What do you mean? Didn't I buy her a bicycle before? Juanzi and I discussed it. Her salary will be taken away as dowry, and we won't give any extra subsidies. I will organize the banquet at my parents' house. It's more beautiful. If the husband's side is short of ingredients, I can find a way to make up for it. But isn't this forbidden now? I am just a sister who got married quietly. After all, I still feel that I owed her a lot, so I thought I could make up for it financially as much as I could."

According to what He Yuzhu said, there was nothing wrong with Li Xiangjue.

"I told Juanzi about the idea of ​​giving money, and she didn't say she disagreed. I also understood her idea. She still wanted to leave more for the child. And what happened at that time was that it was difficult to give birth to a child. It’s been a while, but it hasn’t been raised yet, and I don’t want to argue with her on this point. Let her do whatever she says, and she didn’t say not to give it. It was agreed that before Yu Yu got married, in addition to 35 yuan a month 5. She can spend whatever else she wants with me."

After he finished speaking, Li Xiang seemed to recognize He Yuzhu in front of him again.

Could He Yuzhu in his impression say such reasonable words?

"Brother Zhuzhu, I feel like you are a bit strange." Li Xiang murmured.

He Yuzhu chuckled after hearing this, and replied: "Brother, if you marry a wife and raise children, you will be worse off than me. Isn't there an old saying, if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents? To be honest, I don't even know how to do it now." Why do you hate He Daqing?"

"Sure, based on what you said today, you are a good husband, a good father, and a good big brother. I am really willing to think carefully about your making money." The person around him became a responsible person. Yes, Li Xiang was also very happy.

His promise immediately brought He Yuzhu back to his original form.

He urged: "How to make money? It's only a few months before Yuyu gets married."

"It's useless to be anxious right now. I'll make one up for you right now. What do you dare to do?" Li Xiang rolled his eyes at him and replied.

"You said, I promise to implement it unconditionally. I, He Yuzhu, frowned, twisted my head off and kicked it for you." He Yuzhu patted his chest to express his trust in Li Xiang.

"This is what you said, don't go back on it."

"I said, a man spits and nails."

He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, approached Li Xiang, and asked him to follow his instructions.
