Chapter 122 Revenge of Eight Gifts
Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin looked at each other, both of them were confused.
"Hey, why are you riding so fast?" Zhang Wenxin asked loudly.
However, Chen Zhao ignored him and rode faster and faster, and his back soon turned into a small black dot.
"Tired from work?" Zhang Wenxin guessed, and then rejected it, "That shouldn't be the case. He didn't seem to want to be bothered by anything the past two days."
Then, she put forward several guesses, ranging from being scolded by the boss to quarreling with colleagues, and even guessing that he was fired.
"Why are your guesses getting more and more outrageous?" Yu Zhile said helplessly, looking towards the bullpen, "Just ask him and you'll know."
Moore and Papa were still in the cowshed, and she was just about to take them home.
The two men walked towards the cowshed, and when they got closer they found that Chen Zhao's bicycle was casually placed on the ground, and he was drinking boiled water with his back to the door.
He was crawling and digging the soil nearby. When he saw Yu Zhile, he excitedly jumped on her.
"Don't run around." Chen Zhao saw it rushing towards him from the corner of his eye and tried to stop it, but ended up dropping the kettle.
Yu Zhile picked it up for him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy today?"
"Sister, you're finally back!" Chen Zhao looked like he was about to cry, "If you don't come back, I'll go to the provincial capital to look for you."
Yu Zhile didn't understand, his words were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, fast and dense.
He talked for several minutes, recounting what had happened since he started working.
"So, the cannery has changed its director. Because you ruined his plan to take advantage of others, he wants to cut production lines and reduce output. He also plans to stop accepting seafood from the Haiyu Village fishing team." Yu Zhile concluded.
Chen Zhao nodded, that old pervert was just seeking revenge.
It was not until the day he went to pick up the bicycle that he found out that Mr. Huo had received a transfer order and the Huo family would leave for the county town the next day.
At that time, Huo Tianhe told him that the new factory director was parachuted in, had strong connections, and had a bad reputation in his old workplace, so he asked him to try not to contact him at work.
Unexpectedly, on his first day at work, he caught him trying to do something dirty, and beat him up without thinking twice.
The other party was a vengeful person and did not find an excuse to fire him. Instead, he kept him in the factory, let his colleagues isolate him, and find fault with him everywhere.
But Chen Zhao had a strong ability to endure, and he never took small matters to heart. He went to work happily every day, so his opponent resorted to this desperate measure.
"Do you want to continue working in the cannery? Or do you want to quit?" Yu Zhile asked.
"Of course I will. I will never quit my job!" Chen Zhao snorted and crossed his arms. "I will keep an eye on him every day and annoy him."
Yu Zhile laughed dumbly and said, "Don't worry about it, I will take care of it."
As she spoke, she adjusted the plan in her mind and put the formation of a supplementary food processing team on the agenda.
"Okay, I knew I would find a way." Chen Zhao's mood returned to normal.
Zhang Wenxin on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the income of the fishing team was not much, it was also an important source of income for the village.
Yu Zhile looked at the two men who trusted her wholeheartedly, recalled the laughter in the study room, and couldn't help but think of the fact that Director Wang personally invited her to the cannery in the provincial capital.
The treatment offered by the other party was very tempting, but she always believed that she and her friends could create a more brilliant career.
"Sister, can we have dinner at my house tonight?" Chen Zhao said bitterly, "The food Jiang Shangqing cooks is really terrible."
"Ahem." A sound of clearing throat was heard at the gate.
The protagonist of the topic was looking at the three people expressionlessly.
"Now that you're back, I won't be eating at home tonight." Chen Zhao said happily, "Oh, no, I won't be eating at home from now on."
"It's best. I don't want to serve the young master either." Jiang Shangqing said in a cold tone.
The next second, Chen Zhao jumped in front of Jiang Shangqing and said fiercely, "Ahhh, who do you say is the eldest young master? You are the eldest young master, and your whole family is the eldest young master."
Zhang Wenxin had never seen the two of them get along with each other before, and she was inexplicably nervous, afraid that they would fight, so she prepared to try to stop them.
Jiang Shangqing glanced at him lazily, then squatted down and made a gesture to Moore and Papa.
The two dogs ran towards him happily and let him stroke their heads and fur.
"Thank you for helping take care of them." Yu Zhile stepped forward to express his gratitude.
Chen Zhao looked dissatisfied and shouted, "Sister, it's me. I'm the one taking care of them."
"Close the door when you leave." Jiang Shangqing stood up and walked past them, scooping water from the water tank to wash his hands and feet. The three people and two dogs went out, and Chen Zhao loudly talked about bathing the dog.
"Xiao Zhao, the puppy doesn't like the feeling of its fur getting wet." Yu Zhile couldn't help but remind him.
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Jiang Shangqing! You lied to me again!"
Zhang Wenxin's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. He turned around quietly and saw Jiang Shangqing laughing through the crack in the door.
Back in the courtyard, Yu Wanqin and Yang Suyun were busy in the kitchen, while Yu Yue and others were processing seafood and washing vegetables in the yard.
"Sister, you're back." The brothers said in unison.
Yu Zhile asked with a smile: "Is there anything else to deal with?"
"Sister Le, please sit down and have a rest. We will be done soon. Don't get your hands dirty." Yu Yang smiled.
Yu Zhile nodded and said, "Then I'll make you some hawthorn water to whet your appetite. You can eat as much as you want tonight."
"Thank you, Sister Le." Yu Qi grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
The hot water in the thermos is still hot. Pour it into a large basin with hawthorn slices and rock sugar. Stir the sugar until it dissolves. The water will turn light red and emit a sour and sweet taste.
In the kitchen, Yang Suyun was making the fire and Yu Wanqin was cooking.
After the sizzling sound of oil popping, the rich aroma of sauce prevails in the air. A few seconds later, the fresh taste of squid quietly blends in, teasing everyone's taste buds.
Dishes such as fried squid with sauce, braised mantis shrimp, clams with garlic sauce, etc. were placed on the table, instantly occupying most of the table.
The last steamed sea bass was put into the pot. Yang Suyun poked her head out and said loudly, "Xiao Yang, go and call Grandpa and the others to come home for dinner."
"Yeah." Yu Yang responded, and just as he was about to go out, he saw three people appear at the corner of the path.
When the three of them entered the courtyard, everyone noticed that their eyes were red, but they pretended not to notice and invited them to eat.
A dozen people sat around the long table and began to eat happily. Yu Chaochuan and his son had a sip of wine from time to time.
There were sixteen courses in total and the meal lasted until nightfall. Everyone enjoyed it very much.
"LeLe has grown up." Yu Chaochuan was drunk and took out an embroidered bag. "This is what your grandma left behind. She said it was a gift for her granddaughter."
Yu Zhile took it and could feel the outline of the object through the cloth. It was a bracelet.
"Your grandma said that she would like you very much." Yu Chaochuan murmured, "You really do look like her. She will be very happy."
After saying that, he fell headfirst onto the table, shocking Yu Lin so much that his eyes widened.
Yu Haizong shook his head and sighed, stood up from the leftovers, sat down in front of the large basin, lowered his head and shook his shoulders.
"Le Le, this is a little gift from your uncle and aunt. I hope Le Le will be happy every day." Yang Suyun handed Yu Zhile a red envelope.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Yang Suyun held her hand for a while, then turned around to comfort Yu Haizong.
"Oh, yes, my sister had her birthday the day before yesterday." Chen Zhao burped.
He then drank two cups, feeling dizzy, and reached into his trouser pocket to fumble.
"I bought a gift for my sister. Where is it? Where is it?" Chen Zhao searched through his two pockets and took out only pieces of paper. "Oh, I left it in the cowshed. Here, this is a telegram."
Yu Zhile's smile widened, and he said, "Then I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"Show me the telegram, too." Chen Zhao's hands drooped limply, and the paper fell to the ground.
Yu Yue pressed his back and said, "I'll take him back to the bullpen first."
"Okay, watch your step." Yu Zhile went to get the flashlight, hung it around Papa's neck, and then watched the two people and the dog leave.
"Le Le, I asked my aunt to make you a skirt. You will look very beautiful in it." Zhang Wenxin smiled mysteriously, "I'm leaving now. I'll see you tomorrow."
She was afraid that Yu Zhile would ask her more questions, so her feet felt like they were greased.
Half an hour later, all the things were packed up, Yu Haizong carried Yu Chaochuan on his back, and the three brothers, Yang Suyun and Yu Yang, waved goodbye.
The whole courtyard suddenly became quiet.
"Uncle San, get up, take a shower, and go to bed." Yu Chi called softly, ruffling his hair playfully.
Fang Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes and held his little hand, but he broke free immediately and he stared at him running away in a daze.
Yu Zhile's gaze stayed on his legs for a moment, then he turned and went into the bathroom.
After washing up, she went straight back to the house and took out the telegram left by Chen Zhao.
[It tastes terrible, I didn't eat a second bite, I'll try something else next time. ]
Yu Zhile was puzzled by the incoherent sentence and he directly called up the panel.
There is no change in the operating status of the robot butler today.
She let out a long sigh, fell on the bed, glanced at the package sent by Ning Tan, and got out of bed to get it.
Yu Zhile took a lot of effort to open the package. What came into view was a letter, and below the letter were small boxes of different sizes but neatly stacked.
She opened the letter and there was only one sentence in it - I have prepared eight gifts for you.
"No one is here again." Yu Zhile muttered as he opened the box from top to bottom.
The smallest box contained a pair of ruby-encrusted hairpins.
Then, earrings, lipstick, necklace, scarf, and watch appeared in front of her one by one. In the big box at the bottom, there was only a mark that looked like it was pressed by a badge.
Only traces of the seventh gift remained, and the eighth gift was nowhere to be found.
Yu Zhile thought about it, but couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he put the gift back into the box and put it in the drawer.
Yu Chaochuan gave her a jade bracelet. Under the faint candlelight, its blue color looked like the bottom of a deep sea lake, revealing a bit of mystery.
Zhang Nianci, she silently repeated the name of her grandmother whom she had never met, and inexplicably felt her palms getting warm.
"Uncle San, I want to sleep with you." Yu Chi's grandmother's snoring voice brought her thoughts back to reality.
Immediately afterwards, the candles in the yard were blown out.
Yu Zhile smiled, put the bracelet away, and turned off the kerosene lamp.
When she fell asleep, she dreamed of a vague figure. She wanted to get closer, but she felt her wrist getting hot.
