Chapter 412: Silly Decadence

After Sha Zhu was dumped by his girlfriend, the world seemed to have lost its color. He locked himself in the room all day, not seeing anyone, and just kept drinking to drown his sorrows. The small room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol and sorrow.

The neighbors in the courtyard were all very worried when they saw Sha Zhu like this, but they didn't know how to comfort him. The deaf old lady had always treated Sha Zhu as her own grandson, and she couldn't bear to see Sha Zhu so depressed.

One day, the deaf old lady came to Shazhu's door with a cane. She knocked on the door gently, but there was no response. She knocked a few more times, but still no response. The deaf old lady sighed, raised her voice and said, "Shazhu, open the door, it's grandma."

After a long while, the door slowly opened. Sha Zhu stood at the door with a beard, red and swollen eyes, looking lost. The deaf old lady looked distressed. She walked into the room and a pungent smell of alcohol hit her in the face.

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you? You make yourself like this for a girl. Is it worth it?" the deaf old lady said earnestly.

Sha Zhu sat down on the bed, picked up the bottle next to him and wanted to drink again. The deaf old lady snatched the bottle away, "Don't drink! Look at what you look like now? That girl is gone, let's find a better one. You can't keep being decadent like this."

Sha Zhu lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma, I feel sad. I was so good to her, why did she leave me?"

The deaf old lady patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, no one can predict emotional matters. Maybe she has her own difficulties, maybe you two are not suitable. But you can't give up on yourself because of this. You still have your grandma and the neighbors in this yard. Everyone cares about you and hopes you can cheer up."

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Sha Zhu couldn't help but shed tears. "Grandma, I know I shouldn't be like this, but I just can't get over it."

The deaf old lady gently wiped away Sha Zhu's tears, "Sha Zhu, you have to be strong. You are a man, you can't be defeated by such a setback. You still have your job and your dream. Haven't you always wanted to be an excellent chef? Now focus on your work and make more delicious meals. When you succeed, are you still worried about not finding a good girl?"

With the patient persuasion of the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu's mood gradually calmed down. He began to reflect on his behavior and felt that he really shouldn't be so decadent. He decided to cheer up again, for himself and for those who care about him.

Since then, Sha Zhu has slowly walked out of the room and started to resume his normal life. He worked hard, studied cooking skills, and put all his energy into the career he loves. The deaf old lady was very pleased to see the changes in Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai felt bad when he saw Sha Zhu was immersed in the pain of being dumped. As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, he felt that it was his responsibility to help Sha Zhu out of the predicament.

One day, Yi Zhonghai came to Sha Zhu's room. Although Sha Zhu was no longer locked up all day like before, he was still depressed and listless.

"Shazhu, I'm here to see you." Yi Zhonghai said gently.

Sha Zhu raised his head and forced a smile: "Uncle, you are here."

Yi Zhonghai sat down next to Sha Zhu, looked at him and said, "Sha Zhu, you can't keep going like this. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. It's not worth it to make yourself like this for someone who has already left."

Sha Zhu sighed: "Uncle, I know, but I just feel bad."

Yi Zhonghai patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Sha Zhu, I understand how you feel. But you have to cheer up and don't let this get you down. You are a capable person and you will definitely meet a better girl in the future."

Sha Zhu shook his head: "I don't believe I can meet anyone better."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Shazhu, you have to believe me. I promise that I will introduce you to a new girlfriend. I guarantee that she will be better than your previous one."

Sha Zhu was a little surprised: "Uncle, is that true?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded seriously: "Of course it's true. When has I ever lied to you? What you need to do now is to adjust yourself and start your life again. When there is a suitable girl, I will introduce her to you."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Sha Zhu felt a glimmer of hope. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was a reliable person, and since he promised to introduce him to a girlfriend, he would definitely do it.

"Uncle, thank you. I will try my best to cheer up." Sha Zhu said firmly.

Yi Zhonghai was very pleased to see Sha Zhu regain his fighting spirit. He believed that Sha Zhu would be able to get out of this shadow and find his own happiness again.

Since then, Sha Zhu began to face life positively. He worked hard and resumed communication with his neighbors in the courtyard. He looked forward to Yi Zhonghai introducing him a new girlfriend as soon as possible and opening a new chapter in his life.

As the days passed, Sha Zhu, with the encouragement of Yi Zhonghai, gradually got over the shadow of his broken love. He began to focus more on his work and showed unprecedented enthusiasm and creativity in the kitchen.

Sha Zhu keeps trying new dishes and putting his emotions into cooking. The dishes he makes are not only delicious, but also seem to have a power that warms people's hearts. His colleagues are all surprised by his changes and praise his rapid improvement in cooking skills.

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu has become more cheerful and helpful. He will take the initiative to help neighbors solve some small problems in life, such as repairing furniture, carrying heavy objects, etc. Seeing Sha Zhu's transformation, the neighbors are happy for him.

Yi Zhonghai did not forget his promise. He began to look for suitable girls around him and prepared to introduce a girlfriend to Sha Zhu. After a period of searching, Yi Zhonghai finally found a suitable candidate.

The girl's name is Xiaomei, and she is an accountant in the factory. She has a pretty face, a gentle and kind personality, and is also very interested in cooking. Yi Zhonghai thinks that Shazhu and Xiaomei are a good match, so he decides to arrange a meeting between them.

Yi Zhonghai found Sha Zhu and told him about Xiaomei's situation. After hearing this, Sha Zhu felt nervous and expectant.

"Shazhu, this girl Xiaomei is very good, you must seize the opportunity." Yi Zhonghai advised.

Sha Zhu nodded: "Uncle, I understand. I will definitely behave well."

Under Yi Zhonghai's arrangement, Sha Zhu and Xiao Mei met in a cafe. At first, Sha Zhu was a little nervous and didn't know what to say. But Xiao Mei's gentleness and cheerfulness soon made him relax.

They talked about their respective jobs and hobbies, and found that they had a lot in common. Sha Zhu also told Xiaomei about his love for cooking, and Xiaomei listened with great interest.

The meeting was very pleasant, and Shazhu and Xiaomei were both impressed by each other. After that, they started to have more contact and understanding.
