The host and guest enjoyed the meal. Overnight, Cao Zhe's reputation as a good young man who respected the old and loved the young spread throughout the entire courtyard.
Upon hearing this news, the King of Abacus, Yan Fugui, was the first to have his thoughts moved. The white lotus, Qin Huiru, also began to have her own plans.
That night, Cao Zhe stayed at an old man's house because his room had not been tidied up yet. Cao Zhe woke up early in the morning. Third Uncle, his son, daughter-in-law, and Silly Qin Huiru were all in the courtyard.
"Drink? Why was it so lively early in the morning? Isn't it the weekend today? Aren't you going to work?" Cao Zhe smiled and greeted everyone.
"I knew you were new here and unfamiliar with the city, so I didn't tidy up the house. We're here to help you.”Third Uncle smiled and said," I don't have classes in the morning. My son and daughter-in-law aren't working yet. Everyone can come and help."
"I'm a chef. It's fine as long as I can get lunch when I get back in time. Your Sister Qin is really warm-hearted. Seeing that we don't know how to tidy up the room, she took the initiative to help you.”Silly Zhu said casually.
"Thank you so much, everyone. I'll have to trouble everyone to help. There's nothing to say. I'll buy some good food and drinks later. I'll treat you tonight.”Cao Zhe said," But let me say this first. My treat is my treat, but I'll have to trouble Brother Zhu Zi to cook for me.”
"No problem. Prepare the materials and wait for me tonight!" Silly Zhu had been praised to such a high position, he had long been on cloud nine.
After saying this, everyone left. She knew that Cao Zhe had just returned from a career change and hadn't reported yet, so he didn't have a salary. A middle-aged woman came with money. In the morning, everyone strolled around the department store and the supply and marketing cooperative. All the tables, chairs, stools, bowls, and chopsticks were prepared for Cao Zhe. Cao Zhe's words were pleasant to the ear, and he could take care of everyone. A middle-aged woman looked at the big boy she recognized and was so happy that she could not close her mouth. A level-eight machinist had a monthly salary of 99 yuan. In the past, she didn't dare to spend it because she wanted to support her old age. Now that Cao Zhe was around, she didn't feel any heartache at all.
After choosing the furniture, the tricycle pulled them back. The men followed them back to give Cao Zhe a big piece of furniture. Third Uncle asked Yu Li to follow Cao Zhe and a middle-aged woman, Qin Huairu. The four of them turned around and headed to the market. No matter which era it was, women were experts at bargaining. The three women went all out and quickly prepared the chicken, duck, and fish. The few of them returned to the courtyard house in a grand manner.
Cao Zhe realized that he had underestimated the women of this era. Don't worry about the old and the young, each of them was better at walking than the other. They were all wearing old cloth shoes, and the soles of their shoes would hurt their feet if they stepped on a stone. However, looking at these women, they had only walked twenty miles in the morning and nothing had happened. Cao Zhe himself felt his legs go weak. It seemed that they really had to admit defeat. In this era, transportation was inconvenient. Both men and women were used to walking.
When they returned to the courtyard house, the few women did not rest. An auntie went to cook while Yu Li and Qin Huairu, two delicate young women, came to Cao Zhe's house to tidy up the house.
Cao Zhe looked at the busy figures of the two and felt a little embarrassed. He picked up a rag and was about to wipe the table and chairs when he was stopped by Yu Li.
"Is this your job? This was a woman's job. Go sit and drink some tea.”Yu Li's looks were similar to those in television dramas. Although she was not as charming as Qin Huiru, her figure was even more slender and tall. She was also a rare beauty. What was even rarer was the thinking of the people of this era. In most families, the man was the one outside and the woman was the one inside. Men only needed to work outside to earn money. Women would take care of everything at home and spoil their husbands to the heavens. There was no such thing as a wild girlfriend. After Cao Zhe had lived for a hundred years, how could a man have such treatment? The rural female fist was still shouting about how unfair it was every day. Just thinking about it made him tremble with anger.
He sat at the table drinking tea and watched the two women busy themselves. At this time, Yu Li had just gotten married and was not affected by the Yan family. She was honestly buried in her work. In contrast, the pretty widow Qin Huairu was much more scheming. She would deliberately bend down and raise her buttocks when she was rubbing her lower body. She would tidy up her junk and even brush her hair from time to time, showing her perfect side profile to Cao Zhe at all times. It was a pity that Qin Huairu did not know that Cao Zhe's understanding of her was probably no less than her own. It was impossible to hook Cao Zhe with a little bit of intimacy.
At night, everyone got off work and went home. Silly Zhu didn't bring a lunch box today. She was thinking about cooking for everyone in the courtyard.
Cao Zhe was chatting happily with the first and third uncle. They had only been in the courtyard for two days, but they were already acting like the masters. As for Silly Pillar, he could only busy himself with cooking. Fortunately, Yu Li and Qin Huairu were there to help wash and cut the vegetables.
Not long after, the sky turned dark. Silently, a slender girl slipped in from the courtyard door. The girl was quite tall, about 1.7 meters tall. However, he was really too skinny. He didn't even know if he weighed 80 pounds. His entire body was supported by his bones. His hair was also a light yellow and a little sparse. He looked as if he would fall down if the wind blew.
"Grandpa Yi, who is this? Is he also from our courtyard?" Cao Zhe asked.
First Uncle looked over and immediately called out," Rainwater girl, what are you hiding for? She came to meet her new neighbor, who had moved in two days ago. She's about your age and has already been transferred from the military.”
"Hello, I'm Cao Zhe, eighteen years old. Are you He Yushui? I've heard your brother talk about you a lot these past two days. Come over and rest. Dinner is about to start.”
He Yushui wanted to sneak back to her room, but she was stopped. He could only sit down beside the first grandpa. Sitting at the same table as the other elders made He Yushui lower her head timidly.
"Are you really He Yushui?" Cao Zhe grabbed He Yushui's hand," Oh my god, why are you so thin? Wasn't it said that a chef would not die from hunger after three years of drought? Brother Zhu Zi, how did you raise your sister? He's so pitifully thin."
He Yushui was shocked when his hand was suddenly grabbed. He wanted to struggle, but he was not as strong as Cao Zhe. The next moment, Cao Zhe grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into He Yushui's hands." Yushui, eat more. I call Brother Zhuzi 'brother', which means I'm also your brother." Let me tell you, you have to eat more good food. She couldn't be so thin. She might get malnourished and not be able to give birth to children in the future.”
He Yushui was stunned. The happiness of having a handful of candies and peanuts in her hands had yet to pass. When she heard that she might not be able to give birth if she was too thin, He Yushui immediately became anxious. She wanted to say something to Cao Zhe, but when she saw the people in the courtyard and the old man beside her, He Yushui suddenly did not dare to say anything.
