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

When He Yuzhu heard Jiang Chao's words, his body trembled noticeably. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but He Yuzhu, who was well aware of the future trends, knew that there would not be much future for him to develop if he continued to stay in the army, so he decided to transfer to civilian work.

He immediately rejected Jiang Chao's kindness.

"Commander, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I have decided to change my career. I appreciate your kindness. If you are willing to help me, I hope you can ask the higher-ups to assign me to City 49. That is my home and I want to develop there."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was determined to leave, Jiang Chao stopped trying to persuade him.

"Okay, I understand. You can go back first."

Jiang Chao looked at He Yuzhu's departing back and sighed deeply.

Because he is the only one who knows how outstanding a talent He Yuzhu is. Such a person can definitely grow into a talented leader in the future. His departure is a loss to the army.

He then submitted the application forms for these volunteer soldiers to transfer to civilian jobs to the military.

After receiving the demobilization application forms, Political Commissar Hao Jinlong began to browse through them. When he saw that the name on one of the demobilization application forms was He Yuzhu, he was shocked and immediately asked Jiang Chao, who was standing beside him.

"Commander Jiang, what's going on here? Special combat hero He Yuzhu also wants to retire?"

When Jiang Chao saw that Political Commissar Hao Jinlong asked about this matter, he could only explain helplessly.

"Political Commissar, I don't know if He Yuzhu has gone insane. No matter how I try to persuade him, he is just like a turtle. He is determined to change his career. No matter how I try to persuade him, it's useless."

After hearing what Jiang Chao said, Hao Jinlong could only reply calmly,

"If it rains, it will rain. If my mother wants to get married, let him do what he wants. Since he has made such a decision, we have to respect him, don't you think?"

Jiang Chao nodded upon hearing this.

"By the way, Political Commissar, He Yuzhu also asked me to give him priority in being assigned to City 49 when he is transferred to civilian jobs."

Hao Jinlong sneered when he heard this.

"Haha, He Yuzhu is young but very courageous. He even dares to make requests to our superiors. However, considering that he is a special combat hero, this request is not excessive. I will apply to the higher-ups when the time comes. Whether it will succeed or not depends on this kid's luck."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao thanked Hao Jinlong directly.

"Thank you, Political Commissar. Sorry for bothering you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Hao Jinlong waved his hand.

"Well, let's go."

After Jiang Chao left, Hao Jinlong looked at the three words "He Yuzhu" on the application form and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Hao Jinlong himself chose to transfer to civilian work this time because he had a hunch that it would be better than staying in the army.

One month later, the approval for He Yuzhu's transfer application came down.

Due to the arrangement of Hao Jinlong's relationship, He Yuzhu did not stay in Xiliao Province. With his military achievements and resume, he could have easily been appointed as the director of a local police station in Yangshen City, Xiliao Province.

However, considering the particularity of City 49, He Yuzhu was finally assigned to serve as the head of the Security Section under the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Because the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is located in City 49 and is large in scale, it is the third large state-owned supporting steel mill in the city. Its administrative level is department level, and its Security Department belongs to the first-level institution and is at the department level.

After He Yuzhu received the letter of transfer and saw the appointment notice on it, he was quite satisfied. Then he embarked on the journey back to 49 cities.

Before leaving, he went to say goodbye to the volunteer soldiers of the first battalion.

Afterwards, he went to the division headquarters and said goodbye to the division commander Jiang Chao and others one by one.

Finally, he boarded the train to 49 cities without looking back.

He Yuzhu wore a thick military coat and carried a green marching backpack. After a 12-hour train ride, he finally arrived at the 49th City Railway Station.

After leaving the train station, take a bus to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, where the Siheyuan is located.

An hour later, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house he had been away from for four years. The courtyard house where his family lived covered a relatively large area and was divided into the front yard, the middle yard, and the back yard. A total of 15 families lived in it.

He Yuzhu carried his luggage and walked straight in through the front door. After taking a few steps inside, he ran into a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at He Yuzhu carefully and asked first.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

He Yuzhu looked up and recognized that this was Yi Zhonghai, known as the "big uncle" in the courtyard, a hypocritical man with a sanctimonious appearance.

He Yuzhu immediately revealed his identity.

"Uncle Yi, I'm He Yuzhu!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the three words "He Yuzhu", he was visibly stunned.

He naturally knew He Yuzhu, but he was nothing like the young man in front of him. In his impression, He Yuzhu had always been the short, honest, and silly middle school boy. He was completely different from the tall, mighty, and murderous-looking young man in front of him.

Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively,

"Are you really He Yuzhu? I heard from your father that you went to the Korean War to serve as a soldier. How come you came back so soon? I didn't see any reports in the newspapers about your volunteer soldiers returning home early. Did you become a deserter?"

When He Yuzhu heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he sneered and immediately retorted to him,

"Uncle Yi, what do you mean by that? You are so bold to even question whether I am a deserter.

What do you think of the Volunteer Army? What do you think of your troops? I am a special combat hero. This is my medal. How dare you openly slander me as a special combat hero? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Yi Zhonghai was frightened by He Yuzhu's momentum. For a moment, he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. He immediately changed his tone and spoke in a good tone.

"Silly Zhu, listen to my explanation. I am just outspoken and have no restraint. Please don't take it seriously."

He Yuzhu sneered when he heard this.

"Uncle Yi, I have a name. My last name is He Yuzhu, not Shazhu. Please be careful with your words."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and immediately changed his words: "Zhu Zi, you are right, I will change it, I will change it."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Okay, Uncle Yi, let me ask you if my sister He Yushui and my father He Daqing are in the courtyard."

When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu asking about his father and sister, he immediately responded,

"Zhu Zi, your father hasn't gotten off work yet, and your sister hasn't finished school yet, so she'll probably be back later.

If there is nothing else, I will go back to the steel mill."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"Well...just go and do your thing, Master Yi."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai, feeling relieved, immediately ran away.
