Duan Hongxuan accompanied Lou Jingzhai to discuss some details in the study room. After checking and filling in the gaps, he ended the conversation.
I returned to the living room, sat and drank tea for a while, chatted with the Lou family and my daughter for a while, and then said goodbye.
The Lou family members have repeatedly urged him to stay, especially Lou Jingzhai, who must let Duan Hongxuan have dinner before leaving.
Duan Hongxuan said he still had things to do later and declined again and again.
Finally, Lou Jingzhai saw that Duan Hongxuan really had something to do, and he didn't seem to be evading it, so he regretfully gave up.
But in the end, Duan Hongxuan agreed to Lou Xiao'e's certain conditions and promised to visit her with Yuyu next week, and he was able to escape.
After returning home, Duan Hongxuan looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock.
After thinking about it, I decided to make some cakes, which I can usually eat as a late-night snack and give some to the old lady.
Duan Hongxuan just does what he says.
When He Yuyu heard that Duan Hongxuan was going to make a cake, he immediately became interested.
He followed Duan Hongxuan into the kitchen excitedly. On the one hand, he wanted to see how the cake was made, and on the other hand, he also wanted to learn.
Duan Hongxuan was naturally not disappointed. On the contrary, he was very happy. He hoped to teach He Yuyu as soon as possible so that he would be more relaxed in the future.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen.
Duan Hongxuan taught in detail, and He Yuyu learned to be serious. After working for more than an hour, he finally finished the cake.
Each of us tasted one while it was still hot. It was soft, glutinous and sweet, and the taste was extremely tempting.
The two of them were very satisfied with the cake they made, and Duan Hongxuan was also very satisfied with the progress of his teaching. He believed that if he made it two or three more times, he would be liberated in the future!
In order to make He Yuyu study hard, Duan Hongxuan even tempted her: "Yu Yu, learn it as soon as possible. When the time comes, show your good friend the cake you made by yourself. Wouldn't it be very honorable!"
He Yuyu's eyes lit up: "Yes! When the time comes, I will be so greedy for them and so envious of them!
Brother Hongxuan, why don’t you do it again and let me learn again.”
Duan Hongxuan knocked He Yuyu's head wordlessly, ignoring her aggrieved hands holding her head and crying out for pain, and pointed to the cake she had made: "I've made so much today, and I still have to make more.
You don’t even know what day it is, you’ve made too much, you can’t finish it, and you’ve spoiled it!
And it’s time to cook now. Let’s finish what we cooked this time first.”
After saying that, he ignored He Yuyu and let her pout and mutter complaints.
While he was cooking, Duan Hongxuan suddenly turned around and said to He Yuyu: "There is a knock on the door. Go and have a look!"
He Yuyu was surprised: "Why didn't I hear it? You can hear it from so far away."
"I can only say that you haven't mastered your skills yet.
Okay, don’t be poor here.
Go over and see who's knocking."
"Okay! I'll go take a look." After He Yuyu finished speaking, he ran out of the kitchen.
After a while, He Yuyu's voice sounded in the yard: "Brother Hongxuan, it's the uncle who is here."
Of course, Duan Hongxuan knew that the person knocking on the door was Yi Zhonghai. When he heard He Yuyu's voice, he loudly replied: "Yuyu, please invite me to sit down and have tea first. I'll be here right away!"
After the work at hand was temporarily finished, Duan Hongxuan came to the yard to apologize to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, I'm really sorry.
I was just busy in the kitchen!"
When Yi Zhonghai saw Duan Hongxuan, he immediately greeted him warmly, then waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, let's not be so polite between us."
Pointing to the pile of things at his feet, he said to Duan Hongxuan: "I don't have anything important to do here. I just want to bring you the parts of this wheelchair.
By the way, I will give you the money and also recognize the door."
"Master, you can just leave it at home and I'll go get it. Why do you have to make a trip?
This time I accept the door, and you are welcome to come and sit there often when you have time!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the environment in the yard and said with envy: "Your little yard is really nice, and the environment is good and clean!
And I see that the windows in each of your houses are also very big and bright!
Just thinking about it, I know that living in this courtyard will definitely be comfortable.
Yuyu lives here, it’s much more spacious than the original house!
The environment of this courtyard is much better than ours in every aspect!"
With a smile on his face, Duan Hongxuan said modestly: "I have taken advantage of my parents, and besides, my family lives in this hospital.
There are many people living in your yard, so it is difficult to manage, and the environment will not be much better!
This is all thanks to you three uncles, otherwise the yard might be even more messy!"
Duan Hongxuan's words made Yi Zhonghai secretly proud.
Look at how well Hongxuan can talk in this paragraph. People can see the contribution of our three uncles.
Unlike those people in the yard, they only care about themselves and don’t care about everyone’s environment. Sometimes they think we care too much.
With these thoughts in mind, the more I look at Duan Hongxuan, the more pleasing I become to my eyes, and I wish I could recognize this godson right away.
Yi Zhonghai felt that this matter should not be rushed. Such a good pension candidate should not be let go in the end just because he was anxious.
So he suppressed his emotions and said to Duan Hongxuan with a smile on his face: "Hongxuan, you are right, you can see the work achievements of our three uncles.
However, there are too many people living in our hospital, and it is difficult to manage them all.
We are also worried about this!"
Duan Hongxuan responded quickly: "The three uncles have really worked hard.
But we can also see the abilities of the three of you from this. Otherwise, how could the three of you be the stewards in the street!
Especially you!"
Yi Zhonghai was very happy to hear these words, but he said: "You can't say that!
Since the street has entrusted us with the responsibility of managing the yard, of course we must do our best!
Otherwise, we would be betraying the trust placed in us by the sub-district office!"
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I brought the things over to you. After you make the wheelchair, take it to the old lady."
With that said, Yi Zhonghai took out 50 yuan from his pocket and said, "Here is 50 yuan, take it!"
Duan Hongxuan was not polite, stretched out his hand to borrow the money, and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, I will accept it without you being polite.
After the wheelchair is ready, I will take it over.
Just in time, I'm cooking right here!
Why don't you stay and eat here, I'll ask Yu Yu to call Auntie over!"
"No, no, your aunt is doing it right now.
I'll call the old lady and Zhu Zhu over another day, and I'll let Zhu Zhu take charge.
I won’t disturb you today. You can go make your meal and I’ll go back first!”
Duan Hongxuan quickly persuaded him to stay: "Master, if you don't want to eat here, please sit down and drink tea again!"
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "No, your aunt's meal should be ready soon.
There is one more thing I need to remind you. The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and the old lady paid for a banquet for you and Yuyu in the courtyard.
Don’t forget this, you two will go there together when the time comes!
Okay, that’s all, I’m going back.”
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai stood up and left.
Duan Hongxuan and He Yuyu sent Yi Zhonghai out together.
After returning to the backyard, Duan Hongxuan said to He Yuyu: "Yu Yu, the food in the pot is almost gone. The only thing left is boiled porridge and steamed steamed buns.
You go and watch while I assemble this thing. After dinner, I will bring some snacks to the old lady.
By the way, bring the assembled wheelchair over."
"Brother Hongxuan, go and do your work, leave the kitchen to me!"
Duan Hongxuan nodded and returned to the house carrying a pile of parts.
Duan Hongxuan didn't come out until He Yuyu laid out the food in the courtyard.
While eating, Duan Hongxuan asked He Yuyu: "Yuyu, after dinner, I will bring these two wheelchairs to the old lady, and then take half of the cake that was steamed today.
Do you want to come with me?
If you want to go, I'll wait for you.
If you don’t want to go, then I will go directly after dinner.”
He Yuyu thought for a moment and said: "I won't go there. You can go directly after eating!"
"Okay, you can stay in the courtyard by yourself for a while."
He Yuyu quickly warned again: "Go over and don't come back too late.
If nothing happens, just chat with the old lady for a while and come back early."
"No problem, go over and give the things to the old lady and chat with her for a while. I'll be back soon."
After the two finished their meal, Duan Hongxuan suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask Si Zhu to take away the tea leaves yesterday.
He turned back and entered the house, packed a few bags of tea, and packed half of the cake in the kitchen. Then he said hello to He Yuyu, picked up the two wheelchairs, and ran to the next door carrying the things.
