"Brother Yuzhu, I'll be leaving first. Remember, you owe me a meal.”
Yu Haitang smiled and decided to find a time to stay with her sister for a while to get to know He Yuzhu better.
By then, the news of her breakup would spread inadvertently, and He Yuzhu would treat her to a meal.
He Yuzhu looked at Yu Haitang's back and was baffled.
A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
He sighed and continued to serve the workers.
One by one, they passed by. Finally, it was Qin Huiru's turn.
She looked at He Yuzhu with reddened eyes and a hint of resentment.
"What do you want?"
He Yuzhu asked calmly.
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said in a tired voice,""Broccoli, stewed beef with potatoes, and five steamed buns.”
"So many?"
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, but she did not say anything. She scooped some vegetables and took a steamed bun for her and said,"Where are the tickets?"
He would not give it to Qin Huairu for free.
"I'll pay for her. We're all from the same courtyard, so I have to help.”
Xu Damao said lightly. He took out four liang of food stamps and two liang of food stamps and placed them on the counter.
"No wonder you asked for so much.”
He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. When did Xu Damao become a good person? By doing so, there must be something fishy between the two of them.
However, he couldn't be bothered with the two of them. As long as they didn't provoke him, he didn't care.
Qin Huairu held the bowl in her hands, her eyes brimming with tears. It made one want to take pity on her. She gazed deeply at He Yuzhu before turning to leave.
After Xu Damao finished eating, he quickly followed.
"Xu Damao, you didn't take the steamed bun!"
He Yuzhu shouted.
Xu Damao pursed his lips and did not turn his head.
What steamed buns?
Qin Huairu's white steamed bun was not as fragrant as this steamed bun?
Xu Damao sat across from Qin Huairu and stared at her eagerly, his heart burning with passion.
The dishes in the bowl also became tasteless.
Qin Huairu slowly tore the steamed bun into thin strips and chewed it slowly.
She knew Xu Damao's plan. She had experienced this kind of thing countless times.
Not only Xu Damao, but there were also others.
She knew very well what these stinky men were planning. Wasn't it just that two taels of meat?
Therefore, she didn't care. She had already gotten a ring a long time ago. The only thing she cared about now was the child.
"Huairu, can you eat faster? You'll be back to work in a while. There's not much time left.”
Xu Damao scratched his ears and cheeks as he urged.
"What's the hurry? Look at how anxious you are. Aren't you going to hit me three or two times later?”
Qin Huairu sneered in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged. She rolled her eyes at him and said,""You have to let me eat my fill.”
"Alright, take your time. There's no hurry.”
Xu Damao said helplessly.
Qin Huairu ate a steamed bun. She didn't eat much of the food before stuffing it into the lunch box. She had to leave the food for the children.
"Let's go."
She smiled charmingly.
The two of them walked side by side towards the abandoned warehouse in the factory.
There were only some scrapped machines and an old bed in this warehouse. Usually, it was the place where the factory's security department locked people up. Very few people came here.
Therefore, this place became their exclusive place.
Once he entered, Xu Damao could not wait to close the door.
Qin Huairu sighed in her heart and walked to the bed with ease.
Five minutes later.
Xu Damao walked out, feeling refreshed.
He stole a glance at his surroundings before leaving quickly.
Qin Huairu stared coldly at his back, her eyes filled with disdain.
……
Winter nights always fell very quickly. Before five o'clock, the distant horizon had already darkened.
After distributing the leftovers from the afternoon, He Yuzhu carried the net bag and went out with her disciple, Ma Hua, chatting and laughing.
"Master, should I drive you today?”
Ma Hua laughed. He had been thinking about riding a bicycle for the whole day.
"Alright, then let's take a detour today. You can bring Master around.”
He Yuzhu didn't mind. Although the 28-bar bicycle was good, it was still far from the cars, motorcycles, and high-speed bicycles of the future.
After work today, he could rest tomorrow.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to see more of Beijing in the 1960s.
"Alright, then sit tight. Today, I'll bring you around Houhai and take a detour around the Old Imperial City. Then, we'll return from Qianmen Street.”
Ma Hua grew up in this area and was very familiar with the surroundings. He rode his bicycle and pulled the driver away.
The alleys in Beijing were not too narrow, and there were very few cars in this era. Riding a bicycle, they sped along.
The wind of Shichahai blew on their faces, giving them a cold feeling. On the frozen river surface, many elderly people were ice-skating with their children. It was a quiet and peaceful scene.
Many people on the roadside saw the bicycle and their eyes flashed with envy.
In their eyes, bicycles were like Rolls-Royce in the future, and they were even more expensive. This was because these things could not only be bought with money, but also with tickets.
"It'll be fine when I can ride a bicycle.”
A young man looked at Ma Hua with envy.
After passing through Shichahai, they soon arrived at the foot of Jingshan. In the past, this was the exclusive place of the emperor.
The two of them did not stay for long. They went around and around until they arrived at the majestic Imperial City. The red walls were tall and magnificent, filled with the majesty of the era.
At this time, there were not many cars on Chang 'an Avenue. There were only a few bicycles, and most people walked.
Walking down the square, they came to the famous Qianmen Street, the food street Dazhalan.
"Ma Hua, wait."
He Yuzhu shouted.
"What's wrong? Master."
Ma Hua stopped and looked at his master in confusion.
"I'll get out of the car and take a walk."
He Yuzhu smiled. He came out not only to stroll around, but also to plan for the future.
With his culinary skills and the disciples he had nurtured, he wanted to create a grand food empire in the capital in ten years. He wanted the entire capital to have a place that belonged to him.
Food was the most important thing to the people. People could not live without food, so eating was always the most profitable business.
Today's Dazhalan was not as prosperous as it was in the future. It was just an ordinary street with people coming and going.
"Alright, I'll follow you."
Ma Hua also got off the bike and followed behind He Yuzhu.
Although he really wanted to ride a bicycle, his master was more important to him.
The two of them walked for a while. He Yuzhu planned a place and got into the car to go home with Ma Hua.
"Master, you seem to have something on?"
On the way, Ma Hua mustered up his courage and asked.
He Yuzhu smiled but didn't say anything. He did have something on his mind, but he couldn't say it now.
The time was not right. What he did might seem normal in the future, but in this era, it was a crime of speculation.
Therefore, he had to wait.
Ma Hua didn't dare to ask further when He Yuzhu didn't say anything. When he reached the door, he gave the bicycle to He Yuzhu and watched him leave respectfully.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and arrived at the courtyard house not far away.
Because they had gone shopping, they came back an hour late. Everyone had already started cooking.
"Silly Zhu, come and eat?"
Third Uncle was pouring coal ash in the courtyard. When he saw He Yuzhu return, he greeted him with a smile.
"Third Uncle, are you really willing to let me eat?”
He Yuzhu was amused. When did this stingy Yan Laoxi become so generous?
"Come on, I have wine here. I'll treat you to a meal today.”
Third Uncle laughed.
"No need, no need. Third Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. The rain is still waiting for me at home.”
He Yuzhu smiled faintly. He couldn't figure out what Third Master was up to, so he rejected him.
"Alright, you go back first. See you later. Third Master wants to have a drink with you.”
Third Uncle said mysteriously.
"Alright, see you later."
He Yuzhu frowned. He almost understood. He was now the head of the canteen in the factory and was a popular person in Manager Yang's eyes. Third Uncle was trying to curry favor with him.
