Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

[Ding, in reply to the host, this system, as the name suggests, is the strongest officialdom system, specifically designed to assist the host in reaching the pinnacle of officialdom power]

After hearing the introduction of the system, He Yuzhu roughly understood what it meant.

"Then system, let me ask you, don't you have a novice gift pack? Why don't you arrange one for me?"

[Ding, this system has not detected any signs that the host has entered the official career, so all rewards are temporarily suspended. ]

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard what the system said.

"System, you mean I must become an official, but you also know that it is too difficult to be a politician in this era. Does joining the army count?"

[Ding, the military and the government are one family, both can be considered as entering the official career]

After hearing the system's explanation, He Yuzhu felt neither happy nor excited, because he knew that the system was a disguised way of asking him to join the army to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. It is unreasonable not to make a career with a system. But now he decided to go back to the courtyard and talk to the three old men in the yard first.

An hour later, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and ran into the sanctimonious hypocrite Yi Zhonghai.

"Silly Zhu, where have you been? Why are you all wet?"

He Yuzhu replied politely,

"Uncle Yi, I just fell into the ditch accidentally, it's nothing serious."

Then He Yuzhu returned to his room without looking back.

What surprised him was that his father He Daqing, who had already left, appeared in the inner room again, which made him a little confused.

He Daqing, who was sitting on the stool, was also very angry when he saw He Yuzhu looking like a drowned rat, and he immediately scolded him.

"Where have you been, little brat? I haven't seen you for a whole day. How can you be a brother?"

He Yuzhu did not refute when he heard this. He just stood there blankly, staring at him without saying a word.

When He Daqing saw He Yuzhu staring at him without saying a word, he knew that the brat must be thinking about how he abandoned them two days ago, so he immediately started to defend himself.

"Zhu Zi, Dad knows you must be blaming Dad for leaving without saying goodbye, but I'm back now, right?"

He Yuzhu heard what He Daqing said and asked tentatively,

"Dad, are you serious? You're really not leaving? Are you really staying to take care of me and Yu Shui?"

He Daqing nodded.

"Well, I really won't leave."

In fact, He Daqing himself knew that these were all excuses. It was not that he did not want to leave, but that there were some things that had not been dealt with. In addition, he was a little worried about He Yushui, so he came back to take a look.

At this time, the seven-year-old He Yushui heard the noise and came out from the inner room. He called out to He Yuzhu affectionately,

"elder brother....."

He Yuzhu looked at the lively and lovely He Yushui in front of him and was a little moved. His mood was quite complicated. In fact, he was no longer her brother in the strict sense, but he might as well make the best of it. From now on, he would take care of the original owner's sister and father.

"Yushui, go back to the house first. I have something to talk to our dad about."

He Yushui nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, brother, you guys chat."

Then he left...

He Daqing, who was standing by, was quite surprised to hear He Yuzhu talking to him, and immediately took the initiative to ask him,

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

He Yuzhu: "Dad, as you know, the situation is turbulent recently. America is ambitious and is repeatedly invading the border. As a good Chinese man, I have the obligation to sacrifice my life, so I want to join the army and participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea."

When He Daqing heard what He Yuzhu said, his face changed drastically and he refused immediately.

"Zhu Zi, are you stupid? I worked so hard to arrange for you to be an apprentice in Hongbin Building. You have a stable job and skills, but you actually want to go to the battlefield? What are you thinking? Do you want me, an old man, to send you off? I don't agree!"

He Yuzhu had expected this result, but he did not give up because of He Daqing's refusal. Instead, he argued with reason.

"Dad, I know you have your thoughts and considerations, but I also have mine. Don't look at my young age. I want to revive the style of our Tan family. If it weren't for the war, our old Tan family wouldn't have to change its appearance. Even the ancestral Tan family dishes had to be hidden. It took me a year to learn the signature dishes of Hongbinlou, but in this society, being a cook will never make you a superior person."

When He Daqing heard what He Yuzhu said, he was completely stunned. He really didn't expect that his son, who seemed honest and foolish in the past, would have such ambitions.

You have to know that ever since my father's generation took over the craft of cooking Tan's cuisine, they never thought about reviving the Tan family's former reputation. Instead, they just seemed to be living a life of idleness and waiting to die.

Looking at his son He Yuzhu's passionate expression, he felt like he was a little old.

He sighed softly.

"Zhu Zi, it's not that your father doesn't want you to join the army. You should know that you are the only heir of our Tan family. I have also passed on all the Tan family dishes to you.

On the battlefield, bullets are silent. I just don’t want you to die in vain.”

He Yuzhu heard what He Daqing said, but shook his head.

"Dad, it doesn't matter. Every citizen has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. I am participating in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to respond to the country's call. This is an honorable thing to do.

Don't worry, I won't be the vanguard or take credit for anything. I know my own worth. I have no professional training, no outstanding combat skills, and no extraordinary abilities. If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely die."

He Yuzhu changed the subject.

"Dad, I'm just going to be a cook. After two or three years, if I'm lucky enough, I can get a job as a grassroots cadre.

Wouldn't it be a matter of honor for the family? What do you think?"

He Daqing originally wanted to decline politely, but after seeing He Yuzhu's sincere and extremely determined eyes, he immediately changed his mind and became shaken.

He knew his son, who had been as stubborn as a donkey since he was young. If he was determined to go, he couldn't stop him.

Anyway, he would have to leave the Siheyuan and go to Baoding to find White Snake after some time.

When he thought of this, He Daqing decided to help He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, come on, since you want to be a volunteer soldier and contribute to the country, if I continue, it will seem that I have no vision.

You are like this. I used to be a chef at Hongbinlou, and I knew a lot of leaders there.

I will help you to use your connections so that when you join the Volunteer Army, you will not be sent to the front line right away. You can just cook for the officers in the rear."
