Siheyuan, don’t mess with me

Now that the drawings are out, the real test begins. In the workshop with the lowest temperature of 50 degrees, Chen Zhiguo has to stay here until the experiment is successful!

Chen Zhiguo is not afraid of the heat, but are others not afraid of the heat? Fainting from the heat and suffering from heat stroke are common, but no one wants to quit. They all know that opportunities are rare and that learning is not easy!

After a whole month and a half, Chen Zhiguo’s experiment entered the most important stage. The steelmaking furnace was made and installed in place, and it was just waiting to be started for the experiment!

Looking at the shaky students, “Take a day off tomorrow, and we’ll start the experiment the day after tomorrow! Go back to bed!”

“Teacher, we can persevere!”

“I know how you feel, but you have to eat one bite at a time. Don’t be impatient. Get your body back to health first!”

Fortunately, all the people who were arranged to come here are young people. If middle-aged people had to endure like this, they would have collapsed long ago. Old Shen is one of them. He is already in the hospital receiving an IV drip!

In addition, Chen Zhiguo prepared a special meal for them. The food in the cafeteria of the First Steel Rolling Mill was the same as the food in the Red Star before, without any oil or water. Chen Zhiguo could only arrange for his second uncle to send some meat to the logistics department here!

When Lao Jiang found out, he shed tears of gratitude. It was really difficult. The planned supply was decreasing. If it weren’t for the steel rolling mill, which involved heavy physical work, the food supply wouldn’t have been reduced much. But the meat supply could not be guaranteed!

Not to mention unplanned purchases. There are so many buyers running around outside, but the general environment is like this, and what is purchased is just a drop in the bucket!

The meat arranged by Chen Zhiguo allowed the First Steel Rolling Mill to barely have meat for one meal a week. A worker would be extremely satisfied even if he was given a piece of meat. He would carefully put it in a lunch box and prepare to take it home to eat, and dip it in the meat broth while eating a steamed bun!

Chen Zhiguo could only watch silently. It was not that he didn’t want to provide more, but he really couldn’t do so!

When it comes to small amounts of supply, everyone turns a blind eye, but when it comes to large amounts of supply, there’s no way to even explain it!

They were given a holiday, and Chen Zhiguo also took the opportunity to go home. He had not been home since the experiment began!

However, the person who opened the door for him was an unexpected person!

“Why is it you? How did you get here?”

A beautiful woman with big curly hair stood behind the gate, and said proudly, “Why can’t it be me? I’m telling you, I’m your sister now, call me sister!”

Chen Zhiguo didn’t expect that when he hadn’t been back for more than a month, a new sister would appear.

“Chen Xueru, when did you become my sister?” Does this scammer come to your home to commit fraud?

“Zhiguo, you’re back!” Wang Meihua walked out of the room and looked at the two people affectionately!

“Xue Ru has come here many times, but you were never here. Your father and I like her very much, so we adopted her as our goddaughter. It’s only natural for you to call her sister!”

Only then did Chen Zhiguo realize that his mother’s new clothes might not be a sugar-coated bullet from Chen Xueru!

“Chen Xueru, tell me what’s going on?” Chen Zhiguo would not feel at ease if he didn’t figure it out. How could he approach her without a purpose? Just by being a hero and saving a beauty, he could make this beautiful woman fall in love with him. Chen Zhiguo thought he didn’t have that charm!

“What’s the matter? Didn’t I bring you clothes? You weren’t at home when I came a few times, so I chatted with my godmother. Now that we get along well, I’ll accept you as my godfather and godmother! What? Is it not possible?” Chen Xueru looked at him with a smile. You know what, this woman is really bold and not stage-frightened at all!

“Why don’t you just send the clothes over? Why did you come here so late?” Chen Zhiguo still had a cold attitude.

“Didn’t I want to thank you in person?” Feeling Chen Zhiguo’s cold attitude, Chen Xueru’s face changed, an expression of being wronged and sad.

“You just came back and don’t know anything. What do you want to do?” Wang Meihua was unhappy! She pulled Chen Xueru over and criticized Chen Zhiguo!

“Xue Ru, don’t worry about him, let’s go back to the house!”

“Godmother, since brother Zhiguo doesn’t like me, I’d better go back first!” Chen Zhiguo felt that this woman was not right. She played the sympathy card in front of her mother, and secretly winked at her? Was this a provocation? Chen Zhiguo really didn’t expect that he would be robbed after not coming back for a month!

“No! Why are you going back? This is your home too! What are you looking at? Go cook for me!”

Seeing that Chen Zhiguo didn’t move, Wang Meihua yelled again, “Go quickly!”

“Oh! Got it!” Chen Zhiguo could only agree first and wait until the situation was clear. If someone really had ulterior motives, Chen Zhiguo would be ruthless and destroy the beauty. It would be useless if he was beautiful. As long as someone threatened his family, no one, not the Lord, could stop him!

Chen Zhiguo watched his mother drag Chen Xueru into the room. This hateful woman actually turned around and smiled at him. Was she announcing her victory? Or was she trying to do something? However, she looked really good when she smiled. Chen Zhiguo was stunned for a moment. No, why do I feel that this name is very familiar?

Chen Xueru? Chen Xueru? Chen Zhiguo couldn’t remember where he had heard this name. He would find out more about her when he had dinner! What a beautiful dream it is to want to be my sister?

Chen Zhiguo was still thinking while standing in the yard when he heard Wang Meihua shouting from inside the house, “What are you doing standing there like a tree stump? Go cook!”

Chen Zhiguo went to the kitchen. If he didn’t leave, Wang Meihua would really come out with a broom and hit him a few times!

But what made him even more depressed was that he heard Wang Meihua’s gentle words, “My daughter, all the men in our Chen family can cook. Zhiguo’s cooking is really delicious. You can try it later!”

My mother, what are you doing? Chen Zhiguo suddenly felt panic in his heart!

Chapter 189 The prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie

An angry Chen Zhiguo wanted to make tonight’s dishes spicier, but he didn’t know if Chen Xueru could eat spicy food. What if she couldn’t eat spicy food? His mother and sister couldn’t eat spicy food! Oh, forget it, forget it, for the sake of his sisters, he couldn’t make the food spicy!

Chen Zhiguo, resigned to his fate, cooked seriously in the kitchen. Not long after, the aroma wafted out. “I was right, the dishes Zhiguo cooked are really delicious!” Wang Meihua boasted.

Smelling the tempting aroma, Chen Xueru couldn’t help swallowing her saliva, “Godmother, Brother Zhiguo is really capable, he can do everything!”

Speaking of Chen Zhiguo, Wang Meihua was very excited. Chen Zhiguo was her pride. “Yes, I tell you, our Zhiguo has been smart since he was young. He skipped classes and only went to elementary school for two years. He also graduated from university early. He has been working for more than half a year and has become the deputy director of the steel mill!”

“Godmother! You are so great to have raised a capable son! Zhiguo has become a high-ranking official at such a young age! You are so lucky.” Chen Xueru had naturally done her homework on Chen Zhiguo, and she also had a brief understanding of some of his past. Chen Zhiguo was in a high position at such a young age, so he must be really capable!

Wang Meihua’s face was full of smiles. “I gave birth to him, but I never took care of him. Zhiguo was very smart since he was young. He always made his own decisions. He drew the blueprint for the yard and asked his father to build it according to the blueprint. He chose the school and found the job by himself. We didn’t have to worry about him at all!”

Wang Meihua continued to boast, “Let me tell you, he is very popular in college. Female classmates often come to hang out with him. Four of them have come to my house, and they are all very beautiful!”

“Godmother, why didn’t you choose one to be your daughter-in-law?” Chen Xueru’s smile was a little forced, and she felt a little empty in her heart, so her words naturally carried a bit of sourness!

As the two were whispering, the courtyard door was pushed open. “Brother! Are you back?” Chen Xiaoli’s voice echoed in the courtyard, followed by Xiaomei and Xiaoyue’s voices.

“Big brother!”

“Big brother!”

Chen Zhiguo’s three sisters got out of school and saw Chen Zhiguo’s car parked in the yard. They shouted happily! Chen Xiaoli didn’t even put down her schoolbag and went straight into the kitchen.

“Brother, why don’t you come home? I miss you!” Chen Xiaoli frowned and hugged Chen Zhiguo’s thigh tightly.

“Brother has to do experiments and is quite busy recently. After a while, I can go home every day!” Chen Zhiguo touched her head lovingly. He did the same thing to Xiaomei and Xiaoyue who surrounded him.

“really?”

“Of course it’s true!”

“Brother, I have a sister now. She even made new clothes for us! Do you think they are beautiful?” Chen Xiaoli pointed at her body and said happily.

Chen Zhiguo then noticed that the three sisters of the Chen family all had new clothes. Chen Xueru was really thoughtful, but what was her intention in rushing to get married? Chen Zhiguo still insisted on doubting Chen Xueru! Normal thanks, giving some gifts would be enough, at most, they would just visit each other more often in the future, how could this be possible?

Chen Dayong still hadn’t arrived yet. If he hadn’t come home by 6:30, he would basically be entertained at the guesthouse. Wang Meihua said, “Let’s eat!”

“Xiaomei, Xiaoyue, Xiaoli, it’s time to eat!” Chen Zhiguo shouted towards the west wing.

“I know, brother!”

Chen Xiaoli ran out of the room. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks, Chen Zhiguo slapped her hands and said, “Go wash your hands!”

“Got it, brother!” Chen Xiaoli was not angry. She just smiled and pulled Xiaomei and Xiaoyue out.

Tonight, Chen Zhiguo cooked pickled fish, fried bacon, scrambled eggs with cucumber, stir-fried mushrooms with green vegetables, and a bowl of egg drop soup! Ordinary home-cooked dishes, but Chen Zhiguo cooked them with great color, aroma and taste!

“It’s better to have my brother at home! This food is so delicious!” Chen Xiaoli swallowed a piece of bacon and said happily, but she didn’t notice that Wang Meihua opposite her suddenly turned pale!

Chen Xiaoli was unaware and was about to continue complaining to Chen Zhiguo, but was interrupted by Chen Zhiguo who noticed something was wrong, “Xiaoli, try this scrambled eggs, it smells delicious!” Xiaomei next to her also noticed something was wrong and quickly poked her arm. Chen Xiaoli then noticed Wang Meihua’s dark face, stuck out her tongue, and lowered her head to continue eating!

“Leave it to Chen Xiaoli to wash the dishes tonight!”

“Got it, mother!” Chen Zhiguo could only give Chen Xiaoli a helpless look, but Chen Xiaoli was not afraid. Chen Zhiguo was not at home, and the three of them did all the after-dinner work. It was just that his brother did it when he came back, so he didn’t let them do it! Today, I offended my mother, so I can only admit my bad luck!

After dinner, Chen Zhiguo thought Chen Xueru would leave, but when he saw her and his mother still talking and laughing, and she didn’t look like she was going to leave, he simply ignored her and went back to his room to organize the documents!

“What’s going on?” Chen Zhiguo looked at the light pink quilt on his bed and the faint fragrance in the room, “No way, my bed is occupied too!” Chen Zhiguo didn’t have any mysophobia, but his bed was occupied inexplicably, and he couldn’t guess what Chen Xueru was trying to do.

Chen Zhiguo didn’t dare to go to his mother to argue. If Chen Xueru came over, she would ask what was going on! So he returned to the living room and concentrated on his own things. As a result, he forgot the time when he was busy. When he sorted out the materials of the recent experiment, he found that it was already late at night!

There was cold tea on my desk. When I turned around, I saw Chen Xueru had fallen asleep on the bed! Was it she who poured the tea for me?

“What’s going on?” Chen Zhiguo muttered to himself. I’m back now, why did my mother arrange her in my room? But it’s late now, and it’s not appropriate to wake her up. But it’s not a good idea to let her sleep here while I sleep in the bedroom!

“Wake up!” Chen Zhiguo called softly, but it seemed to be useless. Chen Xueru was still sleeping. Chen Zhiguo took another step forward. Under the light, Chen Zhiguo looked at Chen Xueru carefully. You know what, Chen Xueru is really beautiful. At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, it is really the most beautiful season for flowers to bloom!

He pushed her gently, “Wake up!” This time Chen Xueru responded, without even opening her eyes, she opened her arms and whispered, “Hold me!”

Is it so violent? Still not awake? Chen Zhiguo lowered his head, and seemed to feel Chen Zhiguo’s body approaching, Chen Xueru naturally hugged Chen Zhiguo’s neck!

What should I do? Chen Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, forget it, it’s not like I haven’t hugged or carried her before, she doesn’t care, why should I care! Chen Zhiguo used both hands to pick up Chen Xueru, and suddenly, a faint fragrance came to his nose. Looking at the pretty face pressed against his chest, Chen Zhiguo couldn’t help but feel a little impulsive!

Hold on! Hold on! Chen Zhiguo carried Chen Xueru into the room, laid her down gently, and then pulled the quilt over her. Chen Zhiguo didn’t dare to change her clothes, but it seemed that there was no need to change them, because Chen Xueru had already changed into pajamas, which were made of silk!

Chen Zhiguo didn’t dare to look anymore. He covered her with the quilt, turned off the light, turned around and left the room!

His bedroom was occupied, so Chen Zhiguo could only spend the night on the bed in the living room. He didn’t know how long Chen Xueru would stay here, and it was not a big deal that the bed was occupied! After taking a cold shower in the bathroom, Chen Zhiguo lay in his own home, moaning comfortably. It was still good at home! This feeling was really comfortable!

Looking at the watch, it’s already past twelve o’clock. Since there are outsiders here tonight, Chen Zhiguo can’t go into the space to sleep. It’s a pity that the white fox has to sleep alone tonight!

However, not long after Chen Zhiguo lay down, he heard a slight sobbing sound. The sound seemed to come from the bedroom. What was going on?

Chen Zhiguo knocked on the door gently, “Chen Xueru, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s okay, I’m fine!” Chen Zhiguo replied weakly from the bedroom. He was a little annoyed. You’re fine, why are you crying in the middle of the night? But this is his home, and Chen Zhiguo couldn’t get angry.

“Can we talk?”

“Ah! What do you want to talk about?” Chen Xueru answered a little flustered.

“Don’t you know what I want to talk about?”

“Oh!” Then there was a silence. There was no sound in the bedroom. Chen Zhiguo became a little impatient. He finally got home, and what was going on?

“Why don’t you come out and talk!”

“No, come in and talk!”

Chen Zhiguo pushed open the door, the fragrance in the room became stronger, the lights were turned on, and Chen Xueru was kneeling on the kang with tears in her eyes. She looked pitiful, obviously different from her arrogance during the day!

Looking at her, Chen Zhiguo could only ask with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?”

“I’m scared!” Chen Xueru was like a wronged little woman who met a caring person. She looked at Chen Zhiguo with hope, as if she saw the light!

“What’s going on?” Chen Zhiguo sat down on the kang.

“I dreamed that there were bad guys bullying me!” Chen Xueru pouted, curled up her body, and reached out to grab the corner of Chen Zhiguo’s clothes.

“Didn’t the bad guy get caught? Why are you still scared?!”

“I was just afraid. When I was at home, I didn’t dare to sleep all night. It was my godmother who felt sorry for me and said that you saved me and let me sleep in your room so that I could sleep well!”

Chen Zhiguo didn’t know that his bed had this function, but if it was useful, why did it happen when I was there? “Then why did you have a nightmare again today?”

“It’s all because of you,” Chen Xueru rolled her eyes. “I thought you were going to chase me away, and I was scared! I really don’t want to leave!” Chen Xueru started crying again, and this time her voice was getting louder!

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, I won’t chase you away, okay?” Chen Zhiguo hurriedly stopped her. What would happen if it got out in the middle of the night? If Wang Meihua heard it, she would definitely come and scold him. Chen Zhiguo had a clear understanding of his current family status!
