Chapter 407 The Kitchen is Like a Battlefield
Wang Jianguo gently stroked his chin with his hand and responded with deep approval:
"You are right. We also need to find ways to expand our customer base and not just limit ourselves to the residents in our surrounding area."
"We can consider establishing cooperative relationships with surrounding villages and towns, or using some publicity methods to promote the reputation of our supply and marketing cooperative."
At the same time, He Yushui carried the pile of dishes and chopsticks steadily, walked towards the kitchen alone with steady steps.
He Yushui walked slowly to the kitchen door and skillfully groped for the kerosene lamp in the dim light.
With a "click", the match was lit, a faint flame jumped up, and she gently lit the kerosene lamp.
However, just as the dim light gradually illuminated the kitchen, He Yushui was shocked by the scene before her, and she screamed instinctively.
The shout was like a sharp whistle, breaking the originally quiet air in the house.
Zhao Shuzhuo and Wang Jianguo were chatting animatedly. When they heard the sudden shout, their hearts tightened. Without saying a word, they stood up and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
He Yushui stood there blankly, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
When Wang Jianguo appeared at the kitchen door, she slowly turned around and stared at Wang Jianguo, her eyes seeming to contain countless questions.
After a pause, she finally couldn't help but asked in a resentful tone:
"Brother Jianguo, what did you do in the kitchen? Did you blow up the kitchen?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuzhuo did not even have time to catch his breath. He hurriedly looked around the kitchen carefully in the dim light.
The kitchen was in a terrible mess, with chicken feathers scattered all over the floor, as if it had been through a fierce battle.
The firewood that was originally neatly stacked was scattered all over the place, as if it had been swept away by a gust of wind.
There were a few glaring bloodstains on the edge of the stove, which were shocking and chilling.
The ground was wet, with water everywhere, mixed with soil and debris, making it particularly muddy.
Wang Jianguo stood there, and when He Yushui asked this, his face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.
He lowered his head slightly, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.
He looked so ashamed, like a child who had done something wrong, and could only put on an apologetic smile, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
When He Yushui looked at Wang Jianguo like this, the resentment in her heart seemed to be blown away a little by a spring breeze.
In the end, she couldn't bear to say any more words of blame, and just sighed softly, as if she had accepted it all helplessly.
Then, she silently picked up her clothes, carefully walked into the messy kitchen, and began to clean up slowly.
She bent down, picked up the firewood on the ground one by one, and piled them in the corner. Then she picked up the broom and gently swept up the chicken feathers, her eyes focused and calm.
Zhao Shuzhuo saw this scene clearly. He was a smart man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker.
With a smile on his face, he spoke to He Yushui in a gentle voice:
"Rain, look at the situation right now. The room is dark and the light is so dim that I can't see anything clearly."
"The ground is wet and full of water stains. What if you accidentally slip and fall? The consequences will be serious."
"I think there's no rush to clean up the kitchen, so why not just leave it alone for now?"
"You can clean up the place tomorrow when it's bright and sunny. You've been busy all day and you're tired. You should take a good rest first."
After listening to what Zhao Shuzhuo said, He Yushui tilted his head and thought for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense.
So she responded softly and turned to walk out of the kitchen.
But when she reached the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around abruptly, and glared at Wang Jianguo fiercely.
That look seemed to say, "Hmph, wait and see how I'm going to settle with you tomorrow!" Then she went back to her room angrily.
Zhao Shuzhuo looked at He Yushui's departing back, then looked at Wang Jianguo's helpless expression. He couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and laughed secretly.
His shoulders trembled slightly from laughing, and he tried his best to suppress his laughter, but still let out a few muffled chuckles.
Wang Jianguo was already feeling extremely embarrassed and annoyed about what happened in the kitchen, and now seeing Zhao Shuzhuo actually laughing beside him, he became extremely angry.
He frowned and said to Zhao Shuzhuo angrily:
"Brother Zhao, you are so good, you are here to laugh at my joke and laugh so happily."
"Why didn't you say a word for me in front of Yu Shui just now? That's really mean of you!"
Zhao Shuzhuo raised his lips, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said:
"Jianguo, it's not that I don't want to help you. Just take a good look at the mess you've made in this kitchen."
"It's just a complete mess. It's so confusing that I don't know where to start. How can you ask me to say something good for you in this situation?"
"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't find a suitable reason."
When Wang Jianguo heard this, he immediately became dissatisfied. He stiffened his neck and retorted:
"Then why didn't you say that when we were having dinner just now? You were eating so happily."
"You ate the most, like a whirlwind. Now you blame me for all the problems?"
Zhao Shuzhuo shook his head helplessly, walked up and gently patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me here. I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Your most urgent task now is to apologize to Yu Shui."
"You also know that Yushui is kind-hearted and good-tempered. As long as you apologize sincerely, she will definitely forgive you."
After hearing what Zhao Shuzhuo said, Wang Jianguo seemed to suddenly wake up. He slapped his forehead hard and cursed himself for being stupid.
He did not hesitate any more and turned around and walked quickly to He Yushui's door.
He stood at the door, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked on the door with some nervousness and uneasiness.
The crisp knock on the door echoed in the silent corridor, as if it was knocking on his own heart.
Wang Jianguo stood outside He Yushui's door, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness. His ear was pressed against the door, trying to catch even the slightest movement inside.
However, the room was as quiet as a lake at night, without any sound.
It seemed like a century had passed before there was a slight creaking sound from the door.
Wang Jianguo quickly stood up, his eyes fixed on the slowly opening door.
He Yushui appeared at the door, her face full of helplessness, and she sighed softly.
His eyes slid across Wang Jianguo, as if he was examining a child who had made a mistake. Then he turned around without saying a word, slowly walked back to the room, and sat on his bed.
