Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 142 Why Are Flowers So Red
Red Star Rolling Mill canteen.

"Second uncle, you came back from a business trip yesterday, why didn't you go home?"

Seeing He Yuanchao bringing a lunch box to prepare the meal, Silly Zhu, who was sitting in the back kitchen chatting with others, hurriedly put down the enamel teapot in his hand and walked to the window happily.

"How did you know I didn't go home?"

"When I heard you were back yesterday, I first went to your office and then stopped by Chongwenmen after get off work. How did I know about it?"

Seeing his second uncle's somewhat puzzled expression, Silly Zhu stuck his face out of the window where he was cooking and winked.

Seeing the expression on Si Zhu's face that you must have done nothing good last night, He Yuanchao didn't bother to talk to him anymore. After taking the full lunch box from the smiling Liu Lan, he turned around and carried the food to the Go to the free table.

As soon as he sat down, He Yuanchao heard several workers and masters eating next to him discussing in a mysterious whisper about the upgrading of the steel rolling mill.

While He Yuanchao was eating with chopsticks, he secretly felt funny in his heart. The superiors had repeatedly ordered that this be kept secret and that that be kept secret, but no matter what it was, the gossip was already flying all over the sky before the documents were handed down.

"Second uncle, you haven't been in the factory these days, so you may not know yet. I heard that the superiors are going to expand our steel rolling mill."

Silly Zhu, who came out of the kitchen and approached He Yuanchao, saw that his second uncle was listening to the merger of the steel rolling mill with his ears bent, so he bent down and put his head to his second uncle's ear and whispered softly.

After hearing what Silly Zhu said, He Yuanchao raised his head and said with some confusion: "Where did you get this news from?"

"There's no need to ask. Anyone in this factory who has some dignity doesn't know about this."

After showing off for a while, Shazhu looked around like a spy. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he cautiously asked He Yuanchao: "Second uncle, this time the steel factory is upgraded, can you follow me?" Upgrade?"

"Why did you ask about this?"

After He Yuanchao swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked at his cheap nephew with interest and asked.

In the past, Silly Zhu only occasionally cared about his eating, drinking and sleeping, but he never cared much about whether he was promoted or not.

When he came back this time, he didn't ask about anything else but whether he could be promoted. If there was nothing else, then there was something wrong.

"Just asking, second uncle, if you are promoted again, you will be deputy director, right?"

"Don't be careless with me, tell the truth."

Looking at Silly Zhu's small eyes rolling around, He Yuanchao said seriously with a straight face.

Seeing that he was not fooled, Shazhu stopped pretending. After smiling sheepishly, he whispered the reason to He Yuanchao.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, He Yuanchao felt relieved. He was really afraid that because Sha Zhu had his support, he would randomly agree to other people's affairs outside.

"Tell me why Yu Li asked you to inquire about this matter?"

"What else can I do? I don't want to work as a temporary worker. I want to ask you to find a regular job."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, Shazhu continued with a smile.

After saying that, Si Zhu saw that his second uncle was not angry about this matter, so he put on a bitter face and said aggrievedly: "Second uncle, you don't know, my wife's current job is very dirty and tiring, besides In addition to a pitiful salary of more than ten yuan, there are no subsidies or benefits.

You also know the situation of her family. Not to mention the two people who are unemployed, my husband’s medicine jar is enough for the whole family. "

He Yuanchao had already considered this matter that Silly Zhu was talking about, but had never done it because he had just come back and was unfamiliar with the people, so there was no good way out.Another thing is that you can't let him do everything on the pole. If that happens for a long time, Shazhu and Yu Li will still have to think that his uncle should do everything for them.

Now that Sha Zhu is talking about this matter, He Yuanchao also wants to know what Sha Zhu and his wife are thinking, so as soon as Sha Zhu finishes speaking, he asks with a smile: "This is business, you two are getting married. Why didn’t you say anything then?”

"You just came back at that time. You were busy all day, and Yu Li was too embarrassed to open her mouth."

"Then why are you embarrassed now?"

Looking at his nephew who was wearing a high hat on him, He Yuanchao happily interjected.

"Didn't I hear that the steel rolling mill is going to be expanded? Besides, if your hat is a little bigger, uncle, wouldn't it be easier to speak?"

After hearing his second uncle's teasing remarks, Shazhu didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he plausibly told He Yuanchao what he thought.

"Hey! Didn't you see it? My nephew is still a person who knows how to seize opportunities."

"That's right, it doesn't matter whose nephew I am."

Seeing that his second uncle didn't object to his statement, he felt a little unsure, so he complimented him with a stern look on his face.

"Okay, I know this. I'll find someone to ask you when I have time."

"Second uncle takes action and this matter will be done."

When Si Zhu saw that his second uncle had agreed to help Yu Li find a job, he smiled and flattered her.

After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He put his head in front of He Yuanchao and asked in a low voice with an expectant look on his face: "Second uncle, can you move up to a level this time?"

"Why, I'm afraid that if I don't get promoted, I won't be able to find a formal job for Yu Li."

Looking at Silhu who was asking cautious questions in front of him, He Yuanchao pretended to be unhappy.

"Second uncle, that's not what you mean. Don't think too much. Aren't I concerned about your future? Besides, even if you don't find a job for Yu Li, I still have to look forward to your promotion! You are my uncle. "

He Yuanchao put on a serious face, which shocked Silly Zhu. This uncle was really good to him. To put it bluntly, he was better than his own father. He didn't want to treat him just because of work. My dear uncle was heartbroken.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Go back and wait for the letter. Tell Yu Li not to worry. Even if the documents come out, the recruitment will be done after the year."

Seeing Sha Zhu's anxious explanation, He Yuanchao stopped teasing him. After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he gave his nephew reassurance with a smile.

Seeing that his second uncle was not really angry with him, Shazhu's face looked better. After hearing what He Yuanchao said, he didn't dare to say anything else. After agreeing to his second uncle's request, he quickly ran back to the kitchen. .

He Yuanchao smiled when he saw this, and without saying anything else, he lowered his head and started eating the food in the lunch box again.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, at the entrance of the alley of Chongwenmen Siheyuan.

"Brother, that little girl really lives here. Did we find the right place?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not wrong. I checked with a ferromagnetic officer from my police station and it's absolutely correct."

"That's good. Don't hold your hands for a while. We must give that Hutong Chuanzi a try, otherwise he won't know why the flowers are so red."
