Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 248 Candidates: Liu Lan, Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu sat at his desk with a frown on his face, and spent the whole afternoon pondering the real purpose of Director Yang's invitation for a week in a row and specifically asking him to be in charge of the meals in the small kitchen.

He racked his brains and finally could only understand that Director Yang might be trying to win over the people in this way to fight against Deputy Director Li. Although this speculation was a bit vague, it seemed to make sense.

Thinking that he would have to work in the small kitchen every night for the next week, He Yuzhu knew that he could not handle it alone. So he stood up, straightened his clothes, and decided to go to the third canteen to find two people to help.

When he walked into the third canteen, everyone had not yet finished get off work. He walked aside, looked at the busy people, and said, "I need two people here to prepare food in the small kitchen every night this week. Do you have any ideas?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huairu raised her head, with a gleam in her eyes. Her first reaction was that this was a good opportunity to get close to Deputy Director Li. After all, the small kitchen was an important place in the factory, and Deputy Director Li was likely to eat there.

Her second reaction was that if she could be selected, she could take an extra dish back to feed the children, which was undoubtedly good news for her as her family was not well-off.

So, Qin Huairu quickly raised her hand and spoke, fearing that she would miss this opportunity: "Director He, I have time, can I go and help?"

There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on He Yuzhu, fearing that he would reject her because of the conflict between them.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's eager and expectant eyes, and was slightly suspicious. He calmed down and looked at Qin Huairu carefully, and found that she really looked like she wanted to help. So he nodded and replied lightly: "Okay."

Liu Lan, who was standing by, was moved when she heard Qin Huairu was going to the small kitchen. She also thought that she could take this opportunity to pack some leftovers to improve the family's meals.

So, she glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, then turned to He Yuzhu, with a hint of pride in her tone: "Director He, I want to go too. I've helped you before, and I'm definitely better than some people."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly when he heard Liu Lan's words. He didn't want Qin Huairu and Liu Lan to get together, lest any trouble arise.

However, he thought that he had already promised Qin Huairu, and if he suddenly regretted it now, who knows what others would say. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, then you two can go together."

Qin Huairu and Liu Lan both smiled with satisfaction when they heard what He Yuzhu said. Although there was some discord between the two, their goal at the moment was the same - that was to help in the small kitchen and get some benefits by the way.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu and Liu Lan, who were both smiling happily. Although he felt a little worried, he tried to remain calm and said,

"Okay, then starting from tomorrow, after get off work, you will go to the canteen to prepare the food. I will be there soon. Remember, the people who will come are the big leaders of each factory, so you are not allowed to cause trouble."

There was a hint of seriousness and earnestness in his words, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them, as if to confirm whether they really understood what he meant.

Qin Huairu and Liu Lan saw He Yuzhu's serious expression, and they also stopped smiling and nodded seriously. Qin Huairu said, "Director He, don't worry, we will definitely pay attention and will not embarrass you or the factory."

Liu Lan also echoed: "Yes, Director He, we know the seriousness of the matter and will not act recklessly."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan and Qin Huairu's serious expressions, and he put his worries aside a little. He nodded gently, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Okay, then remember to go to the canteen on time, don't be late."

After that, he turned around and gave a few words of advice to the others, his voice gentle but firm. Then, he turned and left. Although his pace was neither hurried nor slow, it could be seen that he felt a little relieved, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

Liu Lan watched He Yuzhu's back gradually moving away until he disappeared from her sight. Then she turned around and looked at Qin Huairu beside her with an unfriendly look.

She said viciously: "Qin Huairu, I'll let you go for now. After we finish the work in the small cafeteria, we will settle the previous accounts. There is still a long way to go!"

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Lan's fierce eyes, her eyes calm and deep. She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head slightly, avoiding Liu Lan's sight, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She thought silently in her heart: "There is a long time to come, and no one knows what the future will be like. Maybe in seven days our identities will be swapped."

Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Huairu's mouth curled up even more. Liu Lan looked at Qin Huairu's calm and composed appearance, and couldn't help feeling annoyed.

But she also knew that she couldn't act rashly now, after all, she still had work to do. So, she glared at Qin Huairu fiercely and turned away.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Lan's departing back, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She knew that the next few days would be her only chance, and she would definitely be able to fight for a place for herself.

......

After get off work in the evening, He Yuzhu sat around the dining table with his father He Daqing and sister Liu Xiuxiu, enjoying the warm family time. During the meal, He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and solemnly explained his tasks for the next week.

"Dad, Xiuxiu, the factory will use the small canteen to treat guests starting tomorrow, and I need to stay to cook, so you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner."

There was a hint of apology in He Yuzhu's voice. He knew that this meant he would not be able to eat with his family for some time.

He Daqing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard his son's words, but soon relaxed. He understood the importance of his son's work and also understood that this was his responsibility.

So, he replied directly: "Okay, then just go and get busy. When the time comes, Xiuxiu and I will leave some staple food for you, and you can bring some dishes back to eat."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Xiuxiu with a questioning look in his eyes. Although Liu Xiuxiu felt a little uncomfortable not being able to eat with He Yuzhu for the next week, she could only nod in agreement when she saw that He Daqing had expressed his opinion.
