Chapter 894: Qin Jingru Enters the City

Everyone in the courtyard said nothing, everyone was waiting to see Silly Zhu's joke.

Although they all live in the same courtyard and are all neighbors, in fact, everyone has their own little thoughts in their hearts, and most of them are just in harmony on the surface.

Silly Zhu's popularity among the people in the courtyard is not good. Mainly because this guy is outspoken, very flamboyant, and always hits people. Many people don't like him.

Anyone who has watched the TV series can find this. Except for the deaf old lady, no one in the courtyard treats Silly Zhu sincerely. Even the uncle Yi Zhonghai has a purpose to protect Silly Zhu.

It's just that Silly Zhu is a demon king, so no one wants to provoke him. Provoking Silly Zhu means trouble.

But now that they had the opportunity to see Silly Zhu embarrassed, everyone in the courtyard was still very interested.

Liu Haizhong felt very happy when he saw that Shazhu was speechless, but he was not ready to let Shazhu go.

"The third uncle's analysis is correct, but I think there is another possibility. That is, the chicken in the casserole is not from Xu Damao's family. Doesn't everyone know this? Silly Zhu is the cafeteria of our third steel rolling mill. The chef, this may have been brought back by Sha Zhu from this canteen..."

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about..."

Silly Zhu, who was not ready to speak, immediately straightened up and retorted quickly: "Don't go that far. Stealing a chicken from Xu Damao is fine. Stealing a chicken from a factory is called stealing public property. That's not the case here. Now that the meeting has begun, the entire factory will hold a criticism meeting. Second uncle, please stop talking about this."

Yan Bugui continued: "That's hard to say, Silly Zhu, let me ask you, you carry a net bag with you after get off work every day, and there is a lunch box in the net bag. What is in the lunch box?"

Everyone in the courtyard knew what was in Shazhu's lunch box. Yan Bugui had been jealous for a long time. As long as Shazhu could give it to him once or twice, he would not say this here to make Shazhu Can't get off stage.

Zhou Chen, who was standing behind, narrowed his eyes. He Yuzhu provoked him in the cafeteria today. He still remembered it. Now was not the right time to disgust He Yuzhu.

So he walked out from the crowd.

"It's a coincidence that today the factory director asked me to go to the factory cafeteria for dinner. The chef was He Yuzhu. Coincidentally, one of the dishes included a stewed chicken. I took a quick look and saw that there was only half a chicken in the soup pot. At that time, I’m also surprised, shouldn’t this chicken stew be stewed with a whole chicken? Stewed with half a chicken, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

"Third uncle, have you seen the stewed chicken in He Yuzhu's pot? Is it a whole one?"

Zhou Chen's sudden interjection was something no one expected, but everyone soon understood that there was a conflict between the two of them.

He Yuzhu heard this and shouted angrily: "Zhou Chen, stop talking nonsense to me. What do you know? Don't slander me."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Whether there is slander or not, you will know as soon as you ask. What do you think, three gentlemen?"

Before the three uncles could speak, Xu Damao stood up first: "Zhou Chen, if you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it yet. I saw the stewed chicken in Silly Zhu's pot. It was definitely not a whole chicken, so the chicken in his pot was That chicken was not the chicken I lost, he brought it back from the factory, okay, silly Zhu, you are stealing public property."

Silly Zhu, who was already nervous, was even more furious at this moment: "Xu Damao, what the hell, who said I wasn't a whole chicken? I've eaten everything you didn't see, and I didn't steal it." It's you who take public property. Where did your chicken come from? It's not from below, so your nature is more serious."

"You just farted. Which of your eyes saw it? This is your problem now, Silly Zhu, don't blame me."

"Xu Damao, I think you just need to be dealt with. Have you done many unscrupulous things? I don't even care to talk about you."

…………

Good guy, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao started squirting at each other in front of everyone, exposing each other's shortcomings.

In fact, what the two of them said was not a secret. Silly Zhu was a chef and brought food back from the canteen. In the past, everyone turned a blind eye.

Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies to people and often brought back many specialties. Who could not understand their origins?

But none of this was brought up in public, and now the two of them are fighting each other, making the situation suddenly complicated.

Because if calculated this way, the problem between the two of them is no longer a dispute in the courtyard, but involves a more serious issue.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward to stop it.

"Okay, don't talk about anything else. What's happening in the factory is the factory's business, and our courtyard's business is the courtyard's business. He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, you two should stop arguing."

Then he looked at Zhou Chen again: "Zhou Chen, don't talk about this unfounded thing. Sit down."

Zhou Chen chuckled and sat down next to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li. He just said it casually and did not intend to kill He Yuzhu.

As for the favoritism of the first uncle, he doesn't care. The first uncle has selfish motives, but he is really concerned about the affairs of the compound. He is indeed the one who takes the lead in many things in the courtyard, so as the first uncle, he does Most things are qualified.

Although Zhou Chen didn't like Yi Zhonghai's conduct, his good qualities should also be praised. There was no need to constantly exploit other people's shortcomings and magnify them endlessly.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was not like last time, Yi Zhonghai was relieved, and then looked at He Yuzhu.

"He Yuzhu, I'll give you another chance. Tell me whether you stole Xu Damao's chicken."

He Yuzhu wanted to refute immediately, but before he could speak, he stopped and glanced at Qin Huairu unconsciously.

Of course he knew what the truth of the matter was, but if he refuted it, not only would it be difficult to explain the chicken stewed on the stove at home, but the truth about Bangge stealing the chicken would also be exposed, and they would not be able to get anything done by then.

In addition, he already had some thoughts about Qin Huairu, and the stick figure was a child, so he was even more reluctant to tell the truth.

But if he doesn't tell the truth and admits that he stole the chicken, then the news of his stealing will have a great impact on him.

After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly admitted it under Xu Damao's gloating gaze.

"I think I stole it."

What do you mean by this, ‘calculate’? Was that true, or was he forced to admit it out of desperation?

Everyone was not a fool, and no one could tell that his words were perfunctory. Everyone was talking about it and expressed that they did not accept it.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore, and he yelled angrily: "What do you mean you stole it? If you stole it, you stole it. If you didn't steal it, you didn't steal it. Do you think the people in the compound have wronged you?" "

He didn't know the truth of the matter, so even if he wanted to cover up, he didn't know how to help He Yuzhu evade it.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong was even more dissatisfied and said: "Silly Zhu, just tell me, yes or no?"

Yan Bugui added: "Don't add modifying words in front."

He Yuzhu shouted reluctantly: "Yes, I stole it."

Yan Bugui asked: "When was it stolen?"

"Last night at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I was with Zhou Papi."

When Liu Haizhong saw that He Yuzhu had recognized it, he immediately shouted regardless of how consistent his recognition was with the truth.

"Have you heard that there is a thief in our courtyard? A big thief has emerged. Let's talk about what to do, right?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and most of them were just watching the excitement, but if they were asked to stand up and come up with ideas and completely offend He Yuzhu, they really couldn't speak up.

Yi Zhonghai, as he grew older, thought of a way to excuse He Yuzhu, so he took the initiative to talk about the recent quarrel between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu is also a smart man, very slippery, he took over what Yi Zhonghai said, and even pulled Qin Huairu in.

As a result, these three people cooperated with each other, going back and forth, directly turning the stealing thing into retaliation, and the bad nature was reduced by half in an instant.

The final result was that He Yuzhu paid Xu Damao five yuan, plus the pot of chicken.

Xu Damao was also slow to react, completely unaware that he had been tricked by He Yuzhu and the others, and he was very proud of himself for getting five yuan.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen was also worried about Xu Damao's IQ. When Xu Damao was doing dirty tricks, his brain was much better, but sometimes, his IQ seemed to be negative. He was often played by others. I really didn't know what to say about him. Smart, or call him stupid.

For such a person, no wonder he can't beat He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu doesn't look smart, but in fact he is shrewd at heart, but sometimes the way he does things makes people think he is reckless and not shrewd enough.

But really speaking, apart from being completely tricked by Qin Huairu's family, he really didn't lose much when facing other people.

On the other hand, Xu Damao in the TV series, even Tianhu's cards were beaten to pieces by him. In the end, he became a traitor and became a beggar. In order to survive, he became He Yuzhu's apprentice.

When the excitement is over, the conference is also over, and everyone goes back to their homes.

Zhou Chen and the third uncle walked all the way to the front yard. Yan Bugui took the initiative to chat with Zhou Chen, and finally followed him to Zhou Chen's house.

"Zhou Chen, you are already twenty-five during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Twenty-five is not too young. I can find someone to marry. How about it? Do you have a goal?"

Zhou Chen said: "I have only been back for more than a month, and I am still at work. How can I have time to think about these things?"

Yan Bugui said: "That's not possible. Your father is gone, but you have to live a good life yourself. If a man wants to live a good life, he must have a woman, so you must consider this matter carefully."

"Your conditions are actually very good. Not to mention you have two rooms, you are still working as a doctor in a factory, and now you have become a regular worker. Your salary plus benefits is more than 30 yuan, and your future is even brighter. With this condition, it’s very easy to find a partner.”

"You have just come back, so you may not know much about the surrounding situation. How about you, third uncle, I go find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for you? If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. If it works, you can just give me a hard-earned fee. How about that?"

Zhou Chen felt funny: "Third uncle, you, the teacher, are still planning to engage in the matchmaking business?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes: "Aren't I thinking about you? If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to ask, so you just say okay?"

Zhou Chen thought about it. In order to complete the main mission, he had to stay in this world for thirty years at least. It was obviously unrealistic for him to live alone without touching a woman for thirty years.

"Then I will give you this face, Mr. Third. If there is someone with good conditions, I don't mind taking a look. But I also have a request. Don't introduce me to those crooked people. I am still a little concerned about appearance. of."

Yan Bugui immediately assured: "That's for sure. You are so masculine and handsome. How could I find you those crooked melons and cracked dates? You can rest assured that my vision will not be bad. Just wait for the good news." .”

"Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Third."

He knew that the third uncle wanted to befriend him, and he was also thinking that he could provide some benefits. In the past month or so, he had delivered meat to the Yan family twice, so in the eyes of their family, he was relatively generous. Especially enthusiastic.

Although Yan Bugui is good at scheming, Zhou Chen knows that they will never be as deceitful as Qin Huairu's family and live in the same courtyard. Unless there is really a big feud, it is better to have a harmonious relationship.

After all, this courtyard house is not like the later commercial buildings and villas. Basically, you rarely encounter any neighbors. You see the neighbors here almost every day.

A few days passed in a flash.

The clinic was relatively quiet today. Zhou Chen and Wu Yuejie had nothing to do. They played chess in the office.

Naturally, Wu Yuejie would not be Zhou Chen's opponent in playing chess, but Zhou Chen would hide his clumsiness. Every time they played, they would be evenly matched, winning and losing, which would not make Wu Yuejie lose his confidence all of a sudden, so that even this little entertainment was not enough. Gone.

Suddenly the office door was pushed open, and Xu Damao rushed in furiously.

"Zhou Chen, I will show a movie in the factory in the afternoon. If you are okay, you can go over and watch a movie, a domestic movie. Ashima, I will arrange a good seat for you then."

"Watch a movie."

When he heard that he was watching a movie, Zhou Chen actually had no interest in it. Movies of this era are too backward and unclear, and are incomparable to those decades later.

Wu Yuejie thought that Zhou Chen couldn't worry about the work here, so he said: "Zhou Chen, go over and take a look. It will be almost time to get off work by then. It's enough for me to be here."

"Angkor, you don't want to go?"

It's normal for Zhou Chen not to be interested, but Wu Yuejie doesn't have the same knowledge as him. In this era, it's still difficult to watch movies.

Wu Yuejie laughed and said: "I happened to have watched this movie, otherwise, you would think I would be so generous, haha."

Zhou Chen stopped refusing: "Okay, I'll go back then. Thank you, Xu Damao."

"It's a small thing, but don't forget about me." Xu Damao winked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I'll remember it. You can take my sister-in-law to my house tonight."

"Okay, that's it."

Xu Damao left happily.

When he got off work, Zhou Chen walked out of the health center and walked towards the place Xu Damao said.

As soon as I arrived at the venue where the movie was shown, I saw a huge crowd of people.

There are already many workers in the steel rolling mill. When the movie was shown, relatives and friends from the surrounding areas also came together. Even if only a small number came, there were hundreds of people.

I have to say that this scene is much more lively than a movie theater, but when there are more people, it naturally becomes very noisy. Some people are sitting, some are standing, and some are climbing to high places to wait.

Zhou Chen didn't push over there. Xu Damao said there was a place left for him, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Suddenly, he saw Qin Huairu leading a little girl over. Qin Huairu also saw him and walked over in a few steps.

"Zhou Chen, you come to watch a movie too."

"Well, I haven't watched the movie in the factory yet. I'm bored, so I came over to watch it."

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I thought you didn't like to join in the fun. By the way, let me introduce to you. This is my cousin from my hometown, Qin Jingru."

She pointed to the girl next to her and introduced her to Zhou Chen.

"Hello." Zhou Chen greeted.

Qin Jingru looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, not too tall, with pretty features. She is a little beauty, wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, a green woolen scarf, and two pigtails. She is very simple and childish.

"Jingru, this is our neighbor. Zhou Chen in the front yard also works in the steel rolling mill and is a doctor."

Qin Jingru smiled shyly at Zhou Chen, her eyes showing curiosity. She found that Zhou Chen was much better than the young people in their village. He was clean and sharp, tall and tall, and extremely handsome. Very similar to her ideal man.

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "My cousin lives in the country. I specially brought her to the city to gain some knowledge. Girls, if you have some knowledge, you won't be easily deceived."

She brought Qin Jingru to the city to introduce him to He Yuzhu. The purpose was to trap He Yuzhu and take care of their family.
