After chatting with Fang Zhuo for a long time and receiving a lot of advice, and agreeing to have a drink together to celebrate after the transfer information was announced, Jia Dongsheng returned to the kitchen and started preparing lunch.
Because Qin Huairu didn't come to work, Jia Dongsheng had more tasks today than usual, but this was not a problem for him at all.
Would a chef be afraid of cooking?
Another busy day passed. When it was time to get off work, Jia Dongsheng packed up, got on his bike and did not go home directly.
Instead, he walked towards Duan San, who had previously renovated his house.
Nowadays, there are more and more women, so it is necessary to build a secret base where you can play games even in winter.
Fortunately, the secret base for renovation is inside the house, so construction can still be carried out in winter.
As for why he suddenly wanted to build a secret base, it was entirely due to the exciting game he played with Liu Lan at noon today.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was very lively and I didn’t feel anything. When the game was over, I felt that the warehouse was a bit cold. It was okay if I didn’t sweat, but once I started sweating, I started shivering.
Of course, the one shivering wasn't Jia Dongsheng. The temperature in the warehouse wasn't enough to affect his gaming experience.
But it was Liu Lan.
If Jia Dongsheng hadn't quickly helped Liu Lan put on her clothes, she would have probably caught a cold if she had stayed there for a while.
Because of the weather, we had to change the place for the game with Liu Lan.
The warehouse managed by Liang Ladi is no different from the canteen's warehouse. The goods in the steel rolling mill are not afraid of freezing, so there is no heating at all.
So, he needed another place to play games.
Otherwise, I can't bring Liu Lan home or to the tavern!
Of course, if it were just Liu Lan and Qin Huairu, Liu Lan should be able to accept it, but there were too many people in the tavern.
Touching his waist, Jia Dongsheng felt that he was fine and could continue playing games without being too restrained.
Therefore, a new game room is very important.
When I arrived at Duan San's house, I talked to him about the house decoration problem, and took him to Jinyu Hutong, where I lived, to look at the courtyard house and made a decoration plan.
Jia Dongsheng didn't plan to make any big changes here. He just wanted to put a fireplace in the room that connected directly to the kang and build two cabinets to put clothes, quilts, etc. in.
Duan San said that it would take less than a week to complete and it was very simple.
After the negotiation, Jia Dongsheng gave the key to Duan San and returned to the courtyard.
"Dongsheng."
As soon as he parked the car, Jia Dongsheng heard someone calling him.
"Um?"
Following the source of the voice, it was He Daqing.
Last time, He Daqing said he would treat him to a meal, but after such a long time, there was no news at all, which made Jia Dongsheng think that this old guy was not going to follow his path.
But even if I leave, I won't succeed.
It’s because my mother, Jia Zhang, has no interest in him.
"Uncle He, what's the matter?"
“Eat!”
He Daqing forced a smile on his face, which made his wrinkles look even more serious. "Didn't we agree on having a meal together last time?"
"It's just that it's so hard to buy things these days. I've been preparing for so many days and only managed to put together enough for four dishes."
"Uncle He, we are all neighbors, why are we being so polite? It doesn't matter what we eat!"
"That's not right. I, your uncle He, am the host and I'm treating you to a plate of stir-fried cabbage. Is that right?"
He Daqing was still planning to follow Jia Dongsheng's path and pursue Jia Zhangshi, so how could he just casually prepare a meal to treat everyone?
You have to get something good to show your sincerity and your ability.
After all, in this day and age, it's not easy to get something good.
It was just that He Daqing overestimated his own abilities and thought that he could get enough good things for the banquet in two or three days, but who knew that his luck would be so bad.
He used to always come across people selling things every one or two days, but sometimes he didn't buy anything because he felt bad about spending the money. Who would have thought that when he wanted to buy something, he wouldn't be able to find it anymore.
It took so many days to finally prepare the four meat dishes, which really made He Daqing feel embarrassed.
But for my spouse, face is not important!
"Uncle He, I won't be polite then. Let me try your cooking."
This sentence has two meanings. One is of course to have a normal meal and taste the food, and the other is to see how good He Daqing's cooking skills are and whether he can still serve as a guest.
"Haha, you're welcome. I don't have much to offer. My cooking skills are just this good. Dongsheng, you'll have to eat more today."
He Daqing laughed and said, "Just wait, I'll do it right away and let Yushui come to you later."
He did not suggest inviting Jia Zhang and others to come and eat as well. It was obvious that he did not want others to hear what he wanted to say to Jia Dongsheng.
"No problem, I'll go inside and wash my face."
"Then it's settled."
After chatting and laughing for a while, Jia Dongsheng came into the house.
"What were you talking about with He Daqing just now? You were chatting and laughing, you seemed quite happy."
As soon as he stepped into the house, Jia Dongsheng heard the voice of Jia Zhang.
Jia Dongsheng looked over and saw Jia Zhang's dissatisfied face and gloomy eyes.
"You scared me. You waited until I came in before talking."
"Oh, why wouldn't I scare you to death? You know what He Daqing is up to, but you still try to get along with him. Do you really want him to be your stepfather?"
Jia Zhang was very sensitive, although she felt relieved after Jia Dongsheng gave her all his fortune last time.
But then she figured it out. Even if she lost the gold, Jia Dongsheng could still live well with a salary of dozens of yuan a month. So, why should he be afraid of losing all his wealth?
In this case, isn't there a possibility of selling her?
“What are you talking about? If you don’t agree, even if He Daqing wants to go blind, he can’t become my stepfather.”
Rolling his eyes, Jia Dongsheng said unhappily, "Didn't I explain everything to you last time? Why are you bringing this up again?"
"Since you didn't ask He Daqing to be your stepfather, what do you have to talk about with him? Why are you smiling so happily?"
"Laughing happily?"
Jia Dongsheng recalled, weren't they just smiles that were acceptable for the sake of appearances? Not fake, but perfunctory smiles. Could this be considered happy?
"Mom, stop imagining this. I'm going to cook for you, and He Daqing and I have something serious to discuss."
"Business?"
Jia Zhang was stunned: "Besides me, what else can you two talk about?"
"Of course it's something about cooking!"
Jia Dongsheng rolled his eyes at what Jia Zhang said. The old lady was quite confident.
"I thought He Daqing's cooking skills were very good, and I'm about to get a promotion. I'll have him come to the factory and take my place. That way, he'll have to go to work every day and won't have the mood to think about you."
Then, Jia Dongsheng smiled again: "There are so many people in the steel mill. Maybe one day he will fall in love with another widow and won't chase you anymore."
