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

After a while, He Yuzhu and He Daqing separated. He Yuzhu directly asked about his father's recent situation.

"Dad, what have you been doing for the past four years? Are you still working as a chef for that old boss?"

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu asking about his recent situation, he immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his right hand, and then spoke,

"Shazhu, ah no, it seems that I can't call you Shazhu anymore. The Shazhu in our family is not stupid. This name has to be changed. From now on, I will call you Zhuzi.

Zhuzi, for the first two years after you left, I served as the head chef in their family. It was a way of repaying his favor. After all, without his arrangement, you would not have been able to go to the 38th Army to be a cook.

I heard that most of the ordinary people who joined the Volunteer Army went to the front line to directly join the spearhead company or the penetration company. "

He Yuzhu certainly understood what his father meant. If he had joined the Sharp Knife Company or the Infiltration Company right from the start, he would have been dead, and would not have had such a wonderful experience in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed with his father.

"Dad, you're right. If it weren't for that leader's arrangement, I might not have been so successful."

He Daqing nodded and continued the previous topic.

"Zhu Zi, after repaying the favor to my boss, I originally planned to go to Baoding to visit your Aunt Bai in the next two years, but you were not here, and I was worried about Yu Shui being alone, so I stayed and now work as a chef at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

He Yuzhu was quite pleased to hear what He Daqing said. It seemed that he was a very competent father.

"Dad, now that I'm back, what are you going to do? Are you still going to Baoding?"

He Daqing was obviously stunned when he heard this.

"Zhu Zi, I haven't made up my mind yet. We'll see when the time comes. You see, we've been busy chatting and haven't even prepared dinner yet. I'll cook some home-cooked dishes for you to welcome you back."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dad."

That night, He Daqing personally went into the kitchen and cooked a stir-fried cabbage, and also made a luxurious portion of pork stewed with vermicelli, and a dish of mixed shredded potatoes.

These three dishes can almost instantly attract more than 49% of the families in 9 cities.

The family of three sat down together and started eating happily.

The staple food is steamed corn bread and red rice.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, He Yuzhu pulled He Daqing aside and started to talk in private.

"Dad, I came back from North Korea this time and brought you some local land."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a North Korean ginseng from his pocket and handed it over.

As the successor of Tan's cuisine, He Daqing was well-informed. He took the North Korean ginseng handed over by He Yuzhu and examined it carefully. After observing it for a while, he praised it repeatedly.

"Zhu Zi, where did you get this stuff? According to my observation, this stuff is at least 30 years old. This is pure wild North Korean old ginseng, and its efficacy is the same as that of the old mountain ginseng in our Northeast. If you sell this stuff in a pharmacy, you can definitely sell it for a good price.

If you cook a bowl of ginseng soup for a seriously ill person, it is estimated that he can survive for at least 10 days. This is a real life-saving medicine. Not bad, not bad, you are thoughtful, and I will accept it with reluctance."

Finally, the two of them chatted until 10 o'clock in the evening. In order not to delay He Yushui's school tomorrow, they chose to turn off the lights and go to bed............

On the other side, in Yi Zhonghai's small house, he was whispering with his wife Liu Guihua.

"Wife, have you heard? He Yuzhu from He Daqing's family is back."

Liu Guihua was quite surprised to hear what Yi Zhonghai said.

"What, Zhong Hai, are you kidding me? Didn't I hear that He Daqing's stupid son went to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea? It's only been four years, and our country hasn't reported that the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea has ended, let alone heard that those volunteers are going back home. Why is he back?"

Yi Zhonghai heard this and shook his head.

"Wife, this matter is indeed very strange. I don't know what's going on with this silly Zhu. He actually came back early.

Coincidentally, I ran into him this afternoon. I questioned him like you did and said he was a deserter, but he gave me a lesson instead.

This kid seems like a completely different person after not seeing him for 4 years. He is no longer the little kid who wore open-crotch pants in the courtyard, and he no longer looks as silly as before.

Sure enough, people change a lot after entering the battlefield. This kid now gives me the feeling of a tiger waiting for an opportunity to eat people."

Liu Guihua was also quite surprised to hear Yi Zhonghai's comments on He Yuzhu.

"Zhong Hai, is what you said true or false? It makes me want to go and see that idiot."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai grabbed his wife Liu Guihua and

"Wife, don't be like this. There is a long way to go. I think this idiot Zhu will live in our compound for a long time after he comes back. We will have plenty of opportunities to meet then. There is no need to rush."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Guihua also dispelled her curiosity.

"Okay, Zhong Hai, I get it."

........................

The next day, after He Yuzhu finished washing up, he went out with He Daqing and He Yushui.

This time they planned to go to school first and then report to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Early in the morning, everyone in the courtyard went to work one after another. When they saw a young man next to He Daqing and He Yushui, they were quite surprised and pointed at them. However, He Yuzhu ignored them for the time being because he had important things to do.

He first accompanied He Daqing to send He Yushui to the nearby affiliated primary school, and then the father and son came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

He Daqing took He Yuzhu directly to the factory director's office.

As soon as he arrived at the office door, He Daqing knocked politely.

“Knock…knock…”

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in."

Then He Daqing and He Yuzhu opened the door and walked in.

Yang Kaitai, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, was quite surprised when he saw that the visitor was He Daqing, the cook in their canteen, and was the first to ask him why he came.

"He Daqing, why are you here? What's the matter?"

He Daqing heard this and first showed an extremely humble look.

"Director Yang, it's like this. Today I am here with my son He Yuzhu to report to you."
