Life in siheyuan era

Since when did people start enjoying chatting while leaning on the counter?

Yu Li, standing inside the counter, thought about it. This phenomenon seemed to have started last year.

As the leader of the candy and food section, she had worked in the Yongning Store for three years. This year, she was promoted to leader, managing four people.

The position of team leader is quite common in the commercial system. Although the position is not high and she only manages four people, she is responsible for a commodity area and reports directly to the deputy manager. And the Yongning Store only has one manager and one deputy manager.

Her ability to obtain this position has something to do with her background. Her parents are both middle-level cadres in the Municipal Bureau of Commerce.

It also has something to do with her education. A high school education is a requirement for promotion, which eliminates many people.

Her mother-in-law is anxious, but she is not. Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao also don't have children.

This matter was originally not noticed, but that night it was said by the gossipy Sha Zhu, and it became a topic for the aunties, "Is there a problem with Lou Xiao'e, or is there a problem with Xu Damao?"

Another result of this matter is beneficial to Yu Li. From then on, her mother-in-law no longer hinted, perhaps because she was afraid that Yan Jiecheng would become the target?

Thinking of this, Yu Li thought of Zhou Zhiyuan and made an evaluation, "Quite scheming."

The scheming Zhou Zhiyuan made her vigilant, "What does he want to do?"

Zhou Zhiyuan paid for her bath. According to the law of scheming, there must be an ulterior motive. Leaving her alone is to fish.

Understanding Zhou Zhiyuan's conspiracy, Yu Li will definitely not become the hooked fish. Throwing Zhou Zhiyuan out of her mind, she heard two middle-aged women talking about him.

"Zhou Zhiyuan is quite interesting. He beat Hu Biao on the first day he reported, demolished Xu Laoer's house on the second day, and sent Lao Liu to the military hospital today."

"That's right, looking at him, he is gentle and polite, but I didn't expect him to be so good at fighting? I heard Wan Chunfang say, 'Zhou Zhiyuan beat Hu Biao at noon, and Hu Biao retaliated that night, gathering more than 20 people from Xu Laoer's gang to block Zhou Zhiyuan.'"

"What happened?"

"What else could happen? Didn't you see Zhou Zhiyuan early yesterday morning? But Hu Biao asked for leave and couldn't come up. I heard Wan Chunfang say that the Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan brothers were beaten miserably."

The two giggled and left the counter. Looking at their backs, Yu Li "invited" Zhou Zhiyuan back again.

"He beat Hu Biao?" Hearing this news, Yu Li thought carefully. In her impression, they seemed to be staff members of the subdistrict office. Then she thought of Guo Yanhong's boyfriend, who is the director of the comprehensive office of the Xingyi Subdistrict Office.

So she turned to look at Guo Yanhong. She had been in a daze this morning, not knowing what she was thinking?

Yu Li had said something to her once, but this time she wanted to ask a question. She walked to Guo Yanhong and reached out to pat her shoulder.

Guo Yanhong, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up with a start, her body trembled and she turned to look. Seeing Yu Li close at hand, she hurriedly said, "Team leader, no customers."

Guo Yanhong is only nineteen years old and has been working for less than half a year. She is still a little timid and cautious in her work, afraid that Yu Li will say something to her again.

Seeing her nervousness, Yu Li said softly, "Ask you something..." Saying this, she turned to the middle-aged woman on the side and said, "Sister Li, help me out for a while." Hearing Sister Li hum softly, she pulled Guo Yanhong into the small door behind her.

This corridor is the only way to the warehouse. Yu Li was cautious, glanced at the corridor and didn't see anyone, then looked at Guo Yanhong. Seeing that she was a little nervous, she said gently, "Don't be nervous, just asking about something... Your boyfriend works at the Xingyi Subdistrict Office, right?"

Hearing her ask about this, Guo Yanhong immediately replied, "Zhang Yong is the director of the comprehensive office of the Xingyi Subdistrict Office. The leaders treat him very well."

Guo Yanhong's attitude made Yu Li smile slightly and said softly, "Ask Zhang Yong to help me inquire about Zhou Zhiyuan. What is this person's character? I want..."

She wanted to tell Guo Yanhong to keep it a secret, but she heard Guo Yanhong ask in surprise, "Zhou Zhiyuan?"

She knew Zhou Zhiyuan, not only had she met him, but she had also heard Zhang Yong talk about him. The two walked back from the Huichun Restaurant yesterday, and Zhang Yong talked about him all the way.

Zhou Zhiyuan is his best friend. Zhang Yong is proud of this friend. After telling a series of stories, Guo Yanhong knows a lot about Zhou Zhiyuan. At this time, hearing Yu Li ask about it, she immediately told it in detail.

So Yu Li knew that Zhou Zhiyuan had practiced martial arts since he was a child and was also fond of fighting. In those years, he was either fighting or on the way to fighting.

Zhang Yong said to Guo Yanhong: "His appearance is very deceptive. When I met him, he was only ten years old, looking like a little girl, gentle and quiet."

"But on the first day of school, he knocked down a tyrannical kid, and then it was a group fight, and then it was a one-on-one fight and then a group fight......"

According to Zhang Yong's narration, Zhou Zhiyuan was busy fighting every day, but his academic performance was quite good.

"He loves to read and has a good writing style." This is what Zhang Yong said.

"He doesn't interact with female classmates." This is what Zhang Yong said again.

Zhang Yong said a lot, selling Zhou Zhiyuan out very thoroughly.

Through this information, Yu Li came to a conclusion, "Zhou Zhiyuan is very loyal and good at fighting, doesn't like to interact with female classmates, and his appearance is deceptive."

Drawing this conclusion, and expanding it, she can draw a conclusion, "Zhou Zhiyuan's behavior last night was to be loyal to his neighbors."

Thinking so, she felt relieved, but she saw Guo Yanhong with a hesitant expression.

Guo Yanhong also has her own little thoughts. Zhang Yong is going to take her home tonight. In her joy, she is also uneasy, highly worried about one thing, "What if his mother doesn't like me?"

She cherishes her relationship with Zhang Yong very much, not only because Zhang Yong is good to her, but also because Zhang Yong's conditions are much higher than hers.

Comparing the two families is like one in heaven and one on earth. Guo Yanhong absolutely doesn't want to break up with Zhang Yong. Being able to enter the Zhang family is her dream.

She is very worried, Zhang Yong likes her, but the decision-making power is in his parents' hands.

She wants to perform well, but doesn't know how to do it? She plucked up the courage to ask Yu Li for advice, but Yu Li has no experience.

Her family's conditions are better than the Yan family's, so she doesn't have to walk into the Yan family's door with a worried heart.

But she can't say she doesn't know, she asked euphemistically, "What did Zhang Yong tell you to do?"

Guo Yanhong thought carefully and replied seriously, "He said that Zhou Zhiyuan will be there, and he will resolve anything that happens, just let me face it naturally."

Guo Yanhong revealed a piece of information, Zhou Zhiyuan has a good relationship with Zhang Yong's parents and is good at resolving conflicts.

Thinking of Zhou Zhiyuan's performance in the "Three-Court Joint Trial" that night, Yu Li replied: "Just do what Zhang Yong says."

Guo Yanhong nodded lightly, Yu Li's words gave her a little confidence.

Then Yu Li asked, "What gifts have you prepared?"

Guo Yanhong replied truthfully, "Zhang Yong doesn't need me to worry about it, he will find time to come with Zhou Zhiyuan to buy things."

Yu Li also knew that Zhou Zhiyuan would come to the Yongning Store.

But this arrangement was not Zhou Zhiyuan's idea.

His idea was to go to the large shopping mall across the street to pick out gifts. Facing the dazzling array of goods, he knew what to buy.

But Zhang Yong objected: "The Yongning Store has a complete range of goods. Go directly to the Yongning Store to buy things, and pick up Yanhong together by the way."

Zhang Yong continued to calculate, Zhou Zhiyuan is generous, and he can also be generous to give Guo Yanhong a boost.

He is good at calculating, but he forgot one thing, Zhou Zhiyuan often exposes his little calculations.

This time is the same, Zhou Zhiyuan sighed: "It is said that having a wife makes you forget your mother, Guo Yanhong has not become a wife yet, and you have forgotten your mother?"

Zhang Yong retorted: "I am a filial son, and also a loyal Zhang Yong brother, who is filial to his mother, takes care of friendship, and also brings love. Where can you find such a smart brain?"

He was trying his best to show his masculine side, but looking at Zhou Zhiyuan's smiling face, he couldn't hold back and begged, "Zhiyuan, I really like Guo Yanhong, can you bear to let us two lovebirds fly away?"

This is his unique skill to deal with Zhou Zhiyuan, which has been tried and tested, and this time it was still successful.

Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and said: "You used the wrong word, lovebirds flying away refers to husband and wife."

"It also refers to lovers." Zhang Yong retorted, throwing the bicycle keys to Zhou Zhiyuan. In the past, Zhou Zhiyuan took him, and this time was no exception. Zhang Yong forgot that Zhou Zhiyuan's right hand was disabled, sat on the rear shelf and habitually asked, "Where to?"

"Back to the unit, you want to go to the Yongning Store at this time, people say that a day apart is like three autumns, how long has it been for you?"

Zhou Zhiyuan's words at this time Zhang Yong couldn't hear, the breeze blew, and a wisp of smoke slowly dissipated.
