Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 215
Guo Boquan laughed twice, glanced at He Yuanchao, whose face was a little red, and asked somewhat speculatively: "Tell me, which leader do you want to invite to dinner when you come here? I will give you some advice, squad leader."

Seeing that the old squad leader misunderstood that he was involved in the camp trick, He Yuanchao hurriedly shook his head, and then quickly stated the purpose of his coming here.

"Your boy was seventeen when he joined the army. He must be thirty this year. Why did he get married?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Guo Boquan wanted to give himself a big mouth, "You are so damn evil. Ever since I met this guy He Daliang today, why has my mouth been like a mouth without a door? .”

Complaining to himself in his heart, Guo Boquan quickly changed the subject without waiting for He Yuanchao's answer: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. You boy, tell me how many people there are, how many tables are prepared, and what standards you plan to follow. Come?"

He Yuanchao was about to say the same thing he said to Li Mei again, but when Guo Boquan changed the subject, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

After glancing at the door, He Yuanchao didn't say anything about the banquet, but first talked about what he was worried about.

After saying that, he glanced at Guo Boquan, who was looking at him intently, and added hesitantly.

"Squad leader, since you are the official manager here, I have nothing to show off to you. Otherwise, I can arrange it in an inconspicuous restaurant. Anyway..."

Seeing He Yuanchao talking more and more energetically, Guo Boquan waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Come on, get married and have two banquets. Even if it's a bit extravagant, it's human nature. No big leader would care about this. Besides, if you're a small department-level cadre, no big leader would know you."

After Guo Boquan said this, he glanced sideways at the soldiers under his command, and then said angrily: "Back then, you were just introverted, and you were quite courageous. How come you have become less courageous when you walked down to the battlefield?

Okay, you kid, don’t be such a bitch. This matter is settled here. Tell us the specific number of people and standards. I will arrange the rest for you, and I will ensure that everything is done smoothly for you. Full. "

Seeing the posture of the old squad leader, He Yuanchao smiled and stopped writing. After mentally sorting out the people he wanted to invite, he started to talk to Guo Boquan about hosting a banquet.

Otherwise, professional matters must be left to professionals.

After hearing He Yuanchao's request and the number of people, Guo Boquan made clear arrangements for He Yuanchao's banquet without even thinking about it.

After talking about the wedding banquet, Guo Boquan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to He Yuanchao, while asking about the bride with great interest.

When asked by the old squad leader, He Yuanchao didn't hide anything and told Zhang Min's general situation in a few words.

After hearing this, Guo Boquan also had a look of disbelief on his face, "No wonder He Daliang is so interested. It turns out he found a child from a high-ranking official's family."

Muttering in his heart, Guo Boquan nodded with a smile on his face, and did not continue to talk about the matter. He took a puff of cigarette and started chatting with He Yuanchao about the two of them when they were in the army.

Although He Yuanchao and Guo Boquan didn't stay together for long, they were in the same army after all. When they talked about their time as soldiers, there were too many topics between them. When they talked about the time they were together, Interesting things, the hearty laughter of the two people could be heard in the office from time to time.

The days were short in winter. When He Yuanchao felt the light in the room dimming, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, then stood up and left with an apologetic look.

When Guo Boquan saw that He Yuanchao was about to leave, he quickly stood up and said with an unhappy look on his face: "It's not easy to meet us again. Besides, we are on my property as the squad leader. You have to let me arrange for you to have a meal before you leave."

"Squad leader, this has delayed your efforts all afternoon, but I can't let you spend any more money."

One wanted to stay and the other wanted to leave. After the two of them argued in the office for a while, Guo Boquan saw that He Yuanchao was determined to leave, so he sent him out with a look of helplessness.When he arrived outside the hotel, Guo Boquan looked at He Yuanchao who had unlocked his car, and said with a smile: "Daliang, since you know that monitor, I am working here, come and see me more often when you have nothing to do."

"Don't worry, monitor. I'll definitely harass you in the future."

After saying that, He Yuanchao opened the bicycle support, raised his legs and got on the bicycle, then smiled again: "It's a cold day, monitor, please don't be polite to me, go back to the house quickly."

"You kid, don't worry about me. Please ride slower on the road."

"I understand, squad leader, please go back quickly, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he waved to Guo Boquan and drove towards Chang'an Street.

When riding his bicycle to the intersection of Chang'an Street and Nanheyan Street, He Yuanchao hesitated for a moment, then turned into Nanheyan Street. It was already dinner time, and he didn't have any food at home. He might as well go see Shazhu, by the way. Have a meal at his place.

After riding along the street along the Nanbei River for almost 10 minutes, He Yuanchao arrived at the entrance of the courtyard where Sha Zhu lived in Nanluogu Lane.

Just as He Yuanchao was about to push the cart into the courtyard, a half-grown boy ran past him like the wind. He didn't know whose child it was. At this speed, Liu Fei in later generations might not be able to catch up with him.

After muttering something, He Yuanchao was about to push the cart and continue walking in, when Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the courtyard, ran towards him again, holding a pair of fire pliers and panting.

Seeing this scene, He Yuanchao didn't know what was going on.

I don't know what trouble the second or third child of the Liu family got into. Liu Haizhong, who had always been a fan of officials, saw He Yuanchao pushing the cart and just nodded. He held his breath and chased out of the courtyard with a pair of fire pliers.

Standing at the door of the courtyard, he glanced at Liu Haizhong who had run away. Seeing that no one was running out of the courtyard anymore, He Yuanchao hurriedly pushed the cart into the courtyard.

After entering the middle courtyard, He Yuanchao parked his bicycle under the window of Shazhu's house and walked towards the house.

In the room, Sha Zhu and Yu Li were eating. Seeing He Yuanchao who suddenly opened the door and came in, Sha Zhu quickly stood up and said vaguely: "Second uncle, why are you here at this hour?"

Although Yu Li said nothing, she also stood up and looked at her second uncle with a smile.

He Yuanchao unbuttoned his coat and said truthfully: "I wasn't at work this afternoon. I finished my work and didn't want to go home to cook, so I came here to have a meal."

"Second uncle, what are you talking about? We are a family. Zhu Zhu and I hope you come to eat every day."

After Yu Li finished speaking, she smiled and went out of the room to get the dishes and chopsticks for He Yuanchao in the kitchen without waiting for Silly Zhu to say anything.

After hanging his coat on the coat hook, He Yuanchao turned to Silly Zhu and said, "Why didn't you see the rain?"

As soon as his second uncle asked about his troubled sister, Silly Zhu hurriedly approached He Yuanchao and complained: "I went out after lunch and haven't come back yet."
