Although Deng Baoying deliberately pretended to have the same tone as before, He Yuzhu still heard the vibrato that the other party tried his best to suppress, as well as the weak choking.
He Yuzhu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously dropped the knife in his hand, then turned around.
Deng Baoying looked like a dead leaf about to be blown off by the autumn wind, and her whole person exuded a desolate temperament.
The fingers of her green-white right hand, which was supporting the stove to keep herself stable, were trembling slightly. Even so, she did have a stubborn look on her face...
Looking at He Yuzhu, who she thought about day and night, Deng Baoying felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Then looking at the indescribable emotions in the other person's eyes, Deng Baoying almost shed tears.
In fact, she had learned from Uncle Abu a few days ago that He Yuzhu took a girl and her parents to see the renovated yard.
Uncle Abu said that he heard He Yuzhu calling the other party "parents" and the girl "wife".
Deng Baoying has been in a daze these days. She clearly remembers He Yuzhu saying that he had no partner, so how could he suddenly have a wife?
In fact, when He Yuzhu wanted to buy Uncle Abu's yard, Deng Baoying felt strange.
Logically speaking, He Yuzhu already has a place to live, so there is no need to buy a new property.
But at that time, she only wanted to facilitate this matter, firstly to give Uncle Abu something to rely on in his old age, and secondly, to take this opportunity to let He Yuzhu come to her house to cook every weekend.
Deng Baoying now has many questions in her mind. She wants to ask He Yuzhu if he bought the yard in the first place just to marry that girl...
She wanted to ask He Yuzhu if he knew why she was willing to vouch for him, and also wanted to know what kind of existence she was in He Yuzhu's heart...
The most important thing is that she really wants to know whether He Yuzhu knows what she is thinking!
If He Yuzhu knew her thoughts and still did this, wouldn't she become a complete fool? Was she completely used by He Yuzhu?
Judging from her relationship with He Yuzhu, Deng Baoying really refused to believe that He Yuzhu could be such a person!
But if He Yuzhu was not such a person, Deng Baoying would have fallen into another dead end.
Does He Yuzhu like that girl? If he just gets married for the sake of getting married when he is old, then she will regret why she was not bolder in the first place.
Since anyone can do it, then why can’t the person marry He Yuzhu be her?
When she thought that the girl might have married He Yuzhu because He Yuzhu owned a big yard, Deng Baoying felt even more unbalanced.
Then why did she act as guarantee for Yuzhu? She clearly started out for her own sake, but ended up taking advantage of others. How could she be willing to accept this?
In the past few days, all kinds of messy thoughts have been swirling in Deng Baoying's mind. For a time, she couldn't eat or sleep. She kept thinking about what she should say when she saw He Yuzhu again.
Today is the day He Yuzhu promised to come, so Deng Baoying has long been unable to control her heart.
She probably knew in her heart when He Yuzhu would come, but she still got up at dawn and waited by the roadside.
When she saw that He Yuzhu came much earlier than usual today, Deng Baoying felt happy.
But this happiness disappeared the moment He Yuzhu took his arm out.
Even so, Deng Baoying still cheered for herself silently in her heart: Since ancient times, the loser never loses the battle!
But all her pretense of strength fell apart in an instant when she heard He Yuzhu say that he also had a "big happy event".
He Yuzhu's tone was relaxed, and Deng Baoying seemed to be able to feel the happiness in the other person's heart, which made her retreat.
It turns out that He Yuzhu is very happy about this marriage!
So after thinking for a short time, Deng Baoying adjusted her breathing and asked the other party, pretending to be happy, "What kind of happy event is it?"
Originally, she had really adjusted her mentality and decided that no matter what kind of twists and turns there were, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
But when he saw He Yuzhu's expression when he turned around, Deng Baoying was instantly overcome.
"You...why are you looking at me? Is there something written on my face? Please tell me what a happy event it is..."
He Yuzhu saw the sadness in Deng Baoying's eyes and guessed that the other party had probably heard the news from Abu in advance. He couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, and even wanted to step forward and hug him into his arms.
But before he could make any move, he heard Deng Baoying's voice of feigning disgust again, and He Yuzhu let out a long silent sigh in his heart.
Although Deng Baoying is a little girl, and she has been regarded as a rich lady who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, she has never suffered any blow.
But when faced with this incident, Deng Baoying's bravery exceeded He Yuzhu's imagination.
Even though he felt sorry for the other party, He Yuzhu's reason still prevailed, and he smiled at the other party and said:
"Brother Zhuzhu and I are getting married soon. I'll treat you to a glass of wedding wine then, and you'll have to show your respect..."
As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Deng Baoying rushed to him in a few steps, punched him on the shoulder, then raised his face, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said:
"I can go to the wedding banquet, but I have to agree in advance that I have no intention of giving you a wedding gift...
After all, I am your creditor, and you have to pay me back every month. If I give you a gift, wouldn’t I suffer a big loss..."
After Deng Baoying said these words fiercely, he didn't give He Yuzhu a chance to reply. He said, "The piano teacher is here, I'm going to class" and ran away...
Looking at Deng Baoying's back, He Yuzhu felt a sense of loneliness in his heart...
He and Deng Baoying can only be said to be destined to each other. Although they have each other, no one has broken the window. This may be the best ending...
In a blink of an eye, I saw three years in the future.
He has also been secretly inquiring about the Lou family's evacuation from Xiangjiang, and now he has some clues.
Deng Baoying's mother was originally from Xiangjiang, so even though household registration control is extremely strict now, they can go to Xiangjiang in the name of "visiting relatives".
Although it is extremely troublesome to get all kinds of approval slips, and you have to deal with them up and down, and it costs a lot of money, but this is the only safe way.
Moreover, He Yuzhu is now the canteen director of the Steel Steel Factory, and the most indispensable thing in his hands now is money.
As early as the moment he and Lou Xiao'e received the certificates, He Yuzhu's happy life system exploded again and directly rewarded him with a pig farm.
This pig farm is simply amazing, producing ten big fat pigs every day, totaling 2,500 kilograms.
This pork is hard currency. It can be sold for 70 cents per pound in the city. Of course, it also depends on its parts. For example, it is not easy to sell the meat with bones, and it is not easy to sell the pure lean meat.
Only the big fat meat is really popular. After all, big fat meat can make meat and fat. Nowadays, people are short of oil and water in their stomachs. No matter what dish you are cooking, if you add some meat and fat, the taste of the dish will be directly improved. p>
These two thousand and five hundred kilograms of pork, even after removing the internal organs and other parts that are not easy to sell, the amount of meat produced by a pig of two hundred and five hundred kilograms is adequate.
He Yuzhu now has a thousand acres of wheat fields and a pig farm, and there are various seasonings rewarded by the system in the space. He is basically self-sufficient. Even if he goes into the deep mountains and old forests, he is not afraid of starving to death.
This time He Yuzhu didn't plan to work hard as a salesman on his own, but directly found Deputy Director Li.
As for why he didn't approach Director Yang, He Yuzhu knew very well that with Director Yang's upright character, he couldn't defeat Deputy Director Li.
Moreover, in his previous life, Deputy Director Li was also the one who took the position. He Yuzhu was a piece of meat on a hob, and no one could do anything to him, but he did not want to take the initiative to suffer losses as foolishly as in his previous life.
At that time, Deputy Director Li was ridiculed by leaders of all parties because of Xu Damao's incident. He was in disgrace all day long, and his power was not as good as before.
Therefore, when he faced He Yuzhu's request to be promoted to the canteen director, he strongly refused at first.
But after hearing He Yuzhu's promise that he managed the kitchen of the steel mill and that he would see meat in the factory cafeteria every day, Deputy Director Li couldn't help but be tempted.
After all, he really needs to stabilize his prestige among the working class now. If it is true what He Yuzhu said, the workers in the cafeteria can see meat and fish in their meals every day, this is a great achievement.
Moreover, He Yuzhu is also very smart. He promised to let Deputy Director Li sell pork strips for 70 cents per pound, but he actually only charged 50 cents per pound of pork.
Deputy Director Li calculated that he could not only get kickbacks but also establish his own prestige, so he didn't ask much about the source of He Yuzhu's pork and noodles, and directly decided on He Yuzhu's promotion.
In the past three years as the canteen director, He Yuzhu has already made a lot of money. What he lacks most now is money. As long as it can be solved with money, it is a trivial matter for him. p>
Therefore, as soon as Deng Baoying got some news, He Yuzhu directly gave him a lot of money to allow him to move around, while he went home to persuade the Lou family to evacuate in advance.
When he entered the house, he saw Father Lou standing by the pond in the yard, smoking one cigarette after another, his brows twisted into the character "Chuan".
He Yuzhu strode forward all the way. Father Lou didn't even notice it. He was still immersed in his own thoughts. He Yuzhu also said bluntly:
"Dad, are you worried about the recent wind direction?"
When Lou's father heard this, he was startled and turned his head sharply, staring at He Yuzhu with a stunned expression.
In his impression, He Yuzhu was indeed a nice person, a good man who lived at home, and he was indeed nice to his daughter Lou Xiao'e.
And he is extremely filial to his two elders. Even though he became the canteen director of the steel mill three years ago, he is still a leader, but he has never put on official airs at home.
He and Lou's mother accompanied Lou Xiao'e to live in He Yuzhu's yard for three years. He watched every move of He Yuzhu.
According to Lou's father's imagination, He Yuzhu only thinks about cooking and inventing dishes. He should not have the opportunity or the inclination to focus on policy news.
Therefore, Lou's father was very surprised when he heard He Yuzhu's straightforward inquiry. In addition to this surprise, Lou's father's uneasiness became more intense.
If He Yuzhu and the canteen director have heard about certain rumors, doesn't it mean that the direction of the trend is extremely unfavorable to the Lou family?
The back kitchen of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is under the jurisdiction of Deputy Director Li. It is not unusual to say that He Yuzhu has learned some inside information.
Thinking of this, Father Lou no longer planned to hide it from He Yuzhu, and asked directly:
"What...do you know? Have you heard any inside information?"
Now, after three years of hard work, Deputy Director Li has regained power. Director Yang, as the full director, has been repeatedly suppressed by Deputy Director Li.
Not to mention the trajectory of the previous life, just talking about the current situation of the Zhi Steel Plant, it is estimated that Director Yang stepped down in the past month or two.
By then, Deputy Factory Director Li will have the power, and he is a man who only accepts gifts when he sees money. If we don’t let the Lou family evacuate as soon as possible, I am afraid that even if He Yuzhu is there to mediate in the future, the Lou family will also have to skin them. p>
Although the Lou family's gold and silver treasures were all transferred from the homes of relatives and friends some time ago, He Yuzhu threw them all into the portable space. As long as he didn't take them out, no one could touch them.
But He Yuzhu is also afraid that Deputy Director Li is greedy for profit. After all, it is no secret that the Lou family is rich. Basically everyone knows it.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu followed Lou's father's words and said:
"You know, Deputy Director Li likes my cooking. Every time he entertains me, I cook. I just hear a little bit of news during the meal...
The recent situation has been like a storm, and I don’t think there will be much improvement in the future. Instead, it will get worse...
I'm afraid it won't be long before the situation will completely change, which will be very detrimental to you..."
When Lou's father heard this, his heart suddenly sank. It seemed that as he expected, he had also felt deeply uneasy recently, and even had the idea of escape.
Because of this, in order not to injure his relatives and friends, he transferred all his previous family assets back. Fortunately, He Yuzhu had properly handled the warehouse.
Otherwise, Father Lou really doesn’t know where to store these “hot potatoes”.
But now even though he has the idea of escape, the situation is serious, and the current household registration control is extremely strict, and the foundation he has worked so hard to create is just abandoned, and for a while, he is really reluctant to let it go.
