Chapter 130 Going to the Big Leader’s House
After get off work in the evening, He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu returned to the courtyard together. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a burst of discussion coming from inside.
"Now this aunt can get what she wanted. After waiting for so many years, she can finally have a child in her old age." A voice said with some envy.
"Bah, a hen that doesn't lay eggs would have been cured long ago if it could be taken care of." Another voice sounded with some disdain and sarcasm.
"Do you think Xu Damao really has stomach problems?" another person raised the question.
"Not necessarily. I think it might be Lou Xiao'e who drank the medicine and used Xu Damao as an excuse because of her tigress character." This sentence caused a burst of laughter.
He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu looked at each other and understood what these people were talking about. They did not stop but walked straight into their room and closed the door to block out the discussions outside.
As soon as He Yuzhu closed the door, Liu Xiuxiu came forward impatiently, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and gossip, as if she had seen through everything. "Did Xu Damao come to you yesterday for the same thing as the old man?" she asked. Although there was doubt in her words, her eyes revealed some certainty.
He Yuzhu's heart was slightly moved when he heard this, but his expression was not revealed. He turned to look at Liu Xiuxiu, with a hint of helplessness and instructions in his eyes: "Well, that's the case. But you have to promise me not to tell anyone else, I'm afraid Lou Xiaoe will cause trouble for you if she finds out."
When Liu Xiuxiu heard what He Yuzhu said, she immediately suppressed her curiosity and nodded seriously. She understood He Yuzhu's concerns and knew that she should keep this secret.
So, she stopped asking questions and started preparing dinner. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Liu Xiuxiu always felt hungry very quickly recently. Fortunately, she brought her own food every day, so she didn't worry about being hungry.
He Yuzhu felt relieved when he saw that Liu Xiuxiu no longer questioned him. He was really afraid that if she continued to question him, he would not be able to bear it.
On this day, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were at work when they were suddenly called away by Director Yang. The two looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Director Yang looked at them and said with a smile: "I will take you to a senior leader's house in a while. Remember to watch less and talk less. Just do your own work well and don't do unnecessary things."
After listening to Director Yang's words, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were full of doubts, but they still nodded seriously to show that they understood what he meant.
They knew that they were called to the boss's house for an unusual mission. So they assured Director Yang, "Director, don't worry, we will follow your instructions and will not do anything unnecessary."
Director Yang looked at the two people's serious expressions and put his worries to rest. He believed that the two young people could understand what he meant and complete the task. So he nodded with satisfaction and signaled that they could set off.
The car stopped in the yard of a two-story building. Xu Damao took his projection equipment and followed Director Yang in with He Yuzhu. As soon as they entered the yard, they were taken to different places.
He Yuzhu was taken to a spacious and bright kitchen. He looked around and saw that the kitchen was full of various ingredients, including a lot of fresh meat, and he showed an envious look.
At this time, the comrade who brought him in had already left, and He Yuzhu was the only one left in the kitchen. He looked at the time and found that it was still a little early for lunch, so he sat down on a chair next to him, planning to take a short rest and get up to prepare when the time was almost up. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and relaxed himself.
At the same time, Xu Damao was busy tidying up his projector. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and the leader's wife walked in. She looked at Xu Damao and asked curiously, "Young comrade, how is the cooking skill of the chef who came with you? I see he is not very old, can he do it?"
When Xu Damao heard what his boss' wife said, he immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. He smiled and replied, "You are talking about Sha Zhu, right? His cooking skills have been praised by the entire steel mill. Don't look at his young age, he is already an eighth-level chef. If he takes the exam now, I believe it will not be a problem for him to pass the seventh level."
"Silly Zhu?" The leader's wife repeated the name with some doubt. She looked at Xu Damao with a bit of curiosity in her eyes. She thought the name was a bit strange. Why did it sound like a nickname? Besides, the young comrade didn't look stupid.
Xu Damao saw the expression of his leader's wife and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He explained: "Hey, his name is He Yuzhu, I'm used to calling him that, and I forgot to change it." After saying that, he scratched his head and showed an awkward smile.
After listening to Xu Damao's explanation, the leader's wife nodded in sudden enlightenment. She looked at Xu Damao's simple and honest appearance and couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
The leader's wife's impression of Xu Damao became better and better. She felt that although this young comrade looked a little dull, he revealed a rare honesty and reliability. So she nodded with confidence and planned to say something else.
At this time, the big leader walked into the kitchen with several other leaders. They looked at Xu Damao and nodded with satisfaction. The big leader had just heard Xu Damao's praise for He Yuzhu outside and was very satisfied with this comrade's honesty and loyalty.
He said to Xu Damao gently, "Okay, little comrade, you can start the movie now."
Xu Damao was a little nervous when he saw the senior leader and other leaders coming in. However, when he began to devote himself to his work, the nervousness gradually dissipated. He played the movie and explained it with great emotion, as if the whole world was immersed in the plot of the movie.
The big leaders watched the movie attentively, as if they saw the hard times they had gone through before. Tears welled up in their eyes and their hearts were filled with emotion. Even after the movie ended, the big leaders had not recovered from their emotions.
After a long while, the leader's guard came in and whispered something in his ear. The leader came back to his senses and said to the people around him with a smile: "Let's go to the restaurant. Lunch is ready. I heard that Director Yang has been praising the chef's cooking skills. Let's go and try it." After that, the leader stood up and walked out with his men.
On the way to the restaurant, the leaders were still talking about the movie and Xu Damao's explanation. They were also full of expectations for He Yuzhu's cooking skills.
