Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, He Yuzhu and his sister entered Maoer Hutong.

Go home and celebrate with the mother and daughter of the Mu family.

After the meal, they went to the yard to accompany He Yushui to set off small firecrackers and stay up all night to celebrate.

On the Lunar New Year’s Eve, everyone stayed up late together, set off firecrackers, and then stayed in the house to peel peanuts, drink tea and chat!

In the Qin family's house in the countryside:

"My girl, you said you would be coming to the city after the New Year. Did Zhuzi mention when he would pick you up?"

Qin Huairu shook her head slightly: "It's not clearly stated."

Mother Qin then asked: "Are you sure about this choice?"

Qin Huairu nodded: "Yes, I have made up my mind."

"I don't want to work in the fields all my life. As long as he treats me well, I'm willing to go with him."

Privately, Qin Huairu whispered to her mother: "Besides, it's really hard to deal with him alone."

Mother Qin was a little confused: "It shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Qin Huairu responded: "Really, Mom, you may not know, the environment he grew up in makes it difficult for me to predict his behavior."

Here with Xu Huizhen at home.

"Cousin, I heard you were going to the city, could you take me with you?"

Xu Huizhen looked at her cousin Xu Huizhi and said, "My ability is limited. Once I am settled in the city, I will do my best to help you."

"Wait another two years until you are of marriageable age and ask the matchmaker to find you a date in the city. That way, you can move to the city with me."

However, Xu Huizhi said in disbelief: "How could a city guy like a country girl like me?"

"Unless the other person is old, ugly, or disabled."

Xu Huizhen didn't know how to comfort her cousin because she couldn't make a decision for He Yuzhu without permission.

It was less than midnight on New Year's Eve, but He Yushui had already fallen into a deep sleep.

He Yuzhu: "Forget it, everyone is tired, let's take a rest first."

Mu Chunhua was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

He Yuzhu suggested: "Then I'll go get a basin of water to wash my feet."

"I can do it myself, no need."

However, Chunhua insisted that everyone take a short rest together after He Yuzhu finished washing up.

A new day is coming,

Chunhua took out a set of new clothes she had just bought.

"Today is Chinese New Year, we should change into new clothes to celebrate!"

"Hehe, it's great to have someone who loves you. I usually don't care about these trivial things."

"I'm going to the factory. Don't wait for me to eat. Director Yang and I are going to visit the leader."

When he drove to the factory, He Yuzhu received an invitation from Director Yang.

"Let's go."

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Well, let's leave early, otherwise there will be too many people going to the leader to pay New Year's greetings."

So the two of them drove to the leader's place to pay New Year's greetings.

He Yuzhu was fully focused on cooking until noon, when he had prepared ten dishes and a soup and declared the cooking finished.

Director Yang said, "Yuzhu, let's have dinner together."

Faced with so many guests, He Yuzhu was of course tactful and knew not to sit at the table with everyone.

"Thank you. The factory manager and I are going to the factory to take up shift."

Hearing this, the senior leader said, "Then remember to chat with me next time."

When saying goodbye, He Yuzhu said, "Director, please go home and rest first. I'll go to the factory to take a shift. There won't be many people at the warehouse on New Year's Eve."

"Not many people come during the Spring Festival. If you have any problems at home, please call me or come to my house."

He Yuzhu agreed: "Okay."

After He Yuzhu finished explaining everything, he found Zhao Jianshe. "Old Zhao."

"Director, why don't you come in now that you're here?" Zhao Jianshe stepped forward to greet him.

"No need to go in." He Yuzhu handed over a cigarette, "I have something for you to do!"

"Do you want something special?" Zhao Jianshe asked.

"There should be channels in the city and the countryside," He Yuzhu responded, "but it's hard to find this thing during the Chinese New Year."

"Drive to the town and come back tomorrow morning." He Yuzhu ordered.

"Don't you have weapons for self-defense?" Zhao Jianshe asked.

"Chen Gensheng needs it when he goes out, so I'll give it to him for emergency."

"Then I'll leave now and be back in the second half of the night." Zhao Jianshe volunteered.

"Thank you for your hard work." He Yuzhu said gratefully.

"I don't trust others with such things." Zhao Jianshe said firmly.

After paying Zhao Jianshe, He Yuzhu waited quietly in the factory. The sun in the sky was getting farther and farther away, and night was about to fall.

Mu Chunhua guessed that He Yuzhu might come back very late tonight, so she heated up the food in advance and did not wait for him. She asked, "Translator Ge, do you have anything to talk to me about?"

"Director He, I have a favor to ask of you." Translator Ge said.

"You say it." He Yuzhu responded.

"The engineers want to go on a tour tomorrow. The factory is closed for holiday, and they are bored, so they want to visit our ancient capital." Translated by Ge.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Translator Ge, I am not responsible for making a decision on this issue."

"Then how about I ask my superiors for instructions?" Translator Ge suggested.

In front of translator Ge, He Yuzhu contacted Director Yang.

"Switchboard, please transfer..." The call needs to be connected through the switchboard.

"Director, what happened?" Director Yang seemed a little nervous after receiving the call.

"No, everything is normal." He Yuzhu explained immediately, "It's just that Translator Ge mentioned that the workers plan to go out for a tour tomorrow."

"Wait for my news." Director Yang decided to ask his superiors first.

As the top leader, Director Yang hesitated whether he should make the decision directly.

"Xiao Yang, is there anything else you forgot to say?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, old boss, today is not very convenient." The young employee responded.

It turned out that the factory's engineering staff wanted to go sightseeing while the factory was on holiday, which troubled Director Yang.

The leader thought for a moment and said, "This request is reasonable and we should not refuse it."

"Approve them, but be sure to increase security." The instructions were clear.

Director Yang responded: "Understood, we will have the security department accompany you tomorrow."

"Also, let Zhuzi accompany them personally." The leader added.

Director Yang made all the arrangements and immediately notified He Yuzhu after hanging up the phone.

"Director, what's the decision?" He Yuzhu asked on the other end of the phone.

"It has been agreed. I will take you and the security department to accompany them tomorrow."

He Yuzhu thought to himself that he had something to do tomorrow, so he replied, "Okay, Director, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

After that, he hung up the phone and said to Ge the translator: "You have heard it. The leader agreed. Go and ask everyone where they want to visit. We will make good preparations tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu immediately dialed Li Huaide's number and said in a cheerful tone: "Brother Li, Happy New Year!" "Director Li, if you are free tomorrow, can you come to the factory?"

"The engineer hopes to visit our city of Sijiu in person and appreciate the many scenic spots and historical sites of this ancient capital. Director Yang has agreed to this proposal."
