Seeing Yan Bugui's incompetence and rage, Yi Zhonghai sneered.
He turned to Yu Li and said, "Yu Li, everything has been explained today. Yan Jiecheng can no longer bother you."
"Everyone, please disperse!"
Just then, He Yushui came to Yu Li.
"Your name is Yu Li? Don't you have a younger sister named Yu Haitang?"
Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Yu Li was stunned. She didn't recognize her. Looking at He Yushui, she saw that she was pretty and about the same age as her sister.
"Yu Haitang and I are classmates. It's so late tonight, I think you shouldn't go back, you should stay here!"
Yu Li was somewhat taken aback. She had come out today for a blind date, and she didn't know what her family would think if she didn't go home.
Actually, He Yushui had ulterior motives. She saw that Yu Li was beautiful and tall, and wanted to introduce her to her brother, He Yuzhu.
"But I'm afraid my family will worry!"
“That’s easy. I’ll have my brother send a message to your house, and also have Yu Haitang come over. We sisters can chat together tonight and keep each other company.”
After He Yushui finished speaking, she nudged He Yuzhu, who was staring at Yu Li with his hand. At this moment, the silly Zhu was already drooling over the beautiful Yu Li.
"Okay, I'll go now, and I'll make you a few more dishes tonight!"
Sha Zhu was poked by his sister and immediately realized what was happening. Without waiting for Li's refusal, he ran out.
"Yu Li, sister, alright, stop refusing and come with me!"
Without saying a word, He Yushui grabbed Yu Li's arm and dragged her into her room. Yu Li had no choice but to follow He Yushui.
Watching Yu Li being pulled away by He Yushui, Wang Qiang didn't stop her, thinking it was for the best, as it would allow him to escape. An old man named Yi Zhonghai dismissed everyone.
Qin Jingru was happy to see Yu Li leave with He Yushui. She was afraid that Yu Li would compete with her for Wang Qiang, especially since Yu Li had such long legs, and she was really afraid that Wang Qiang would not be able to resist the temptation.
Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li's retreating figure, feeling annoyed. He glanced at He Yushui beside him and had other thoughts, but it was too early to say them.
Seeing that no one was helping him, Yan Bugui had no choice but to pull Yan Jiecheng, who was still staring at Yu Li's back, back into the house.
"Dad, what do you think of He Yushui?"
Upon returning to the room, Yan Jie asked.
"You've taken a liking to her? But she has an older brother, Sha Zhu, who's not married yet. Are you going to go with him?"
Yan Bugui shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum. He had been scheming all his life and didn't want a burden.
“Shazhu, they have no worries about food and drink at the factory canteen.”
Yan Jiecheng's words made Yan Bugui's eyes light up.
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? In this day and age, those who can be cooks never go hungry!"
The father and son discussed it.
Meanwhile, Sha Zhu went to Yu Li's house to deliver a message and then brought Yu Haitang home.
"Brother, let me introduce you. This is my classmate Yu Haitang. She's nineteen years old this year, just like me. This is her older sister, Yu Li."
“This is my brother, He Yuzhu. He manages the canteen at the steel rolling mill.”
At this time, He Yuzhu was not in charge of the canteen yet; he was just a cook. However, He Yushui wanted to bring Yu Li and her brother He Yuzhu together, so she deliberately elevated his status.
"Hehe, you sisters chat, Yushui, get the sugar out, I'll stew chicken for you!"
He Yuzhu kept staring at Yu Li with a silly grin, and when he heard his sister's introduction, he didn't refute it. He Yushui took the candy, poured water for the two of them, and then secretly ran away.
Holding her brother He Yuzhu's hand, she asked, "Brother, where did this chicken come from?"
"Don't worry about that, just take good care of them!"
"Okay, bro, you'd better do your best. I think Yu Li is a good catch. Don't be silly and miss your chance."
He Yushui kept giving instructions. She and He Yuzhu had depended on each other since childhood, and she cared a lot about her brother.
"I understand, go ahead!"
He Yuzhu sent his sister away, then took a lively chicken out of a bag next to him. The chicken's legs were tied together with rope, and its beak was also tied with string, so it couldn't make a sound.
Looking at the chicken, He Yuzhu said, "Whether it's good or not depends on you!" Then he started to process the chicken, first bleeding it, then scalding it with boiling water, plucking its feathers, then gutting it, cleaning it, and chopping it into pieces.
Then he lit the fire, heated the oil, and poured the prepared chicken pieces into the pot, quickly stir-frying them. If you were to say Sha Zhu was a chef, he had more seasonings at home than most people.
Before long, the fragrance wafted out and could be smelled throughout the entire courtyard.
"Mom, it smells so good! I want to eat it!"
Banggeng smelled the aroma of chicken and clung to Qin Huairu.
"What are you eating? Behave yourself!"
Qin Huairu choked on her own stick, her mouth watering at the aroma. But Qin Jingru's blind date with Sha Zhu had failed last time, and she guessed Sha Zhu was still resentful.
"snort!"
Banggeng was hit and threw a tantrum, refusing to eat, and ran out. Xiaodang and Huaihua followed him out. Qin Huairu didn't care anymore, thinking they would come back for dinner when they were hungry.
While stir-frying the chicken pieces, He Yuzhu added some water and started stewing it. One chicken wasn't much for four people, so He Yuzhu also made some cornmeal to make flatbread.
Chicken was stewing in the pot, while Sha Zhu mixed cornmeal with water to make dough. After making the dough, he shaped it into small balls and tossed them around the stew pot, making flatbreads.
After making the pancakes, Sha Zhu washed his hands and went back inside to keep Yu Li and Yu Haitang company. They chatted for a while about everyday things.
Sha Zhu boasted about his position in the steel rolling mill, saying he was in charge of the canteen and was a section chief. After chatting for a while, Sha Zhu felt that was enough, so he went back to the kitchen and looked at the chicken in the pot.
Seeing that it was almost ready, he found a basin, put the chicken in it, and carried it back into the house. During this process, he discovered that Banggeng and his sister were in the corner, holding a chicken and plucking its feathers.
He didn't take it seriously and happily ate chicken and cornbread with Yu Li, Yu Haitang, and his sister He Yushui.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, they heard Xu Damao's voice outside.
Who stole my chickens?
He shouted and searched, pushed open Sha Zhu's door, saw the chicken in the basin, ran to Sha Zhu's kitchen, saw the chicken feathers, and immediately grabbed Sha Zhu.
"Hey, you silly Zhu, you stole my chickens!"
Sha Zhu shoved Xu Damao away: "Xu Damao, stop barking like a dog. Who stole your chickens?"
"That's right, Xu Damao, don't be ungrateful and frame someone!"
He Yushui also stood up to defend her brother.
Although she didn't know where He Yuzhu got his chickens, she believed that He Yuzhu would never steal Xu Damao's chickens.
"Still not admitting it? Look, where did this chicken come from? There are chicken feathers in the kitchen!"
