Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

"If Qin Zheng can invent more advanced CNC machine tools, refrigerators and air conditioners, I believe he can earn more foreign exchange. So we should do our best in this matter. I suggest that our department contact the military and ask them to arrange a person Qin Zheng trusts to be responsible for security work."

This was proposed to the Deputy Minister at the Metallurgical Ministry's meeting.

"Well, during this period, enemy spies are quite active, so we should pay attention to the safety of Qin Zheng's laboratory. This is a good suggestion. So, Mingkun, you can contact the military region."

"Ok."

Since the minister had spoken, the deputy minister would naturally not refuse, especially since this was his suggestion.

Soon, the weekend arrived.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu rode his bike to the courtyard house that he had rented and then bought. There were already a three-pound mandarin fish, a pound of meat and a chicken in it, which he naturally kept for himself.

As for vegetables, the varieties are relatively limited. We dare not expect off-season vegetable supplies. We can only store cabbage and radishes for the winter in advance.

Even so, the supply is distributed in quotas and cannot be purchased just by having money.

As for high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, and milk, or other snacks like biscuits and candies, these are all high-end foods that most people would not even dare to think about.

Even during festivals, city dwellers might be able to buy some pork with coupons, but people in rural areas could not even get any pork.

When he returned to the courtyard with the vegetables, he attracted many eager looks.

"Wow, He Yuzhu is amazing. He can actually get so much meat."

Yan Jiecheng was stunned, and the other children couldn't help drooling.

"Grandma, I saw Shazhu brought back a lot of meat. Please help me get some. I want to eat meat."

Banggeng ran back quickly and started shouting when he found Jia Zhang.

"Don't be impatient, Banggeng, wait until Shazhu is done, then we'll go get some. Shazhu's cooking is delicious."

"Okay, I want to eat the meat made by Shazhu."

As for whether it will affect He Yuzhu's blind date, what does it have to do with them?

He Yuzhu felt very angry. The Third Uncle had only done this one thing in all these years.

If someone can be a teacher, he must be an educated person. For a rough man like him, it would definitely be a face-saving thing if he could find an educated person as his wife, not to mention that she has a Beijing household registration, a fixed quota, and a job.

Even if he is not as good-looking as Qin Huairu, he is better than her in other aspects, so the two sides can be even.

He Yuzhu had just finished cooking and was thinking beautifully about his future wife when the third uncle led a girl into the main courtyard.

"Zhu Zi, there's a visitor."

The third uncle had not arrived yet, but his voice had already entered the room.

He Yuzhu put down the spoon and walked out to greet him.

His eyes first fell on the girl. He saw that she was following behind the third uncle. She was of average appearance and quite pretty. Her advantages were fair skin, gentle manner, and good image.

Shen Jinlin also looked at He Yuzhu. Hey, it was just like what Teacher Yan said. This man looked quite old. He looked to be at least thirty years old.

Teacher Shen felt a little conflicted. It was obvious that not only men liked beautiful women, but women did too, of course, like handsome men.

"This guy is still a little bit stupid and looks silly."

Yes, in Teacher Shen’s eyes, He Yuzhu is just a fool.

"Zhu Zi, haven't you seen enough?"

He Yuzhu just woke up from his dream, laughed, and quickly invited, "Come in, come in."

"Hey, Zhuzi, you are good. Here are three meat dishes."

The third uncle stood outside the door, looking at the delicious four dishes and one soup, his mouth almost watering. He quickly took a sip and shifted his attention: "Zhu Zi, this is Teacher Shen Jinlin. Teacher Shen, this is He Yuzhu, the seventh-level chef of the steel mill cafeteria."

"Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu."

"Hello."

He Yuzhu quickly greeted him.

The third uncle said, "Teacher Shen, please come in."

"Ok."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was still acting like a fool, the third uncle immediately took over the responsibility and invited Teacher Shen to join the He family again.

"Teacher Shen, please sit down, let's eat first."

He Yuzhu, whose IQ has returned to normal, is very enthusiastic. Cooking is his specialty and he must show it in front of his blind date.

"Sit down, sit down. It's been a while since I've eaten food made by Zhuzi."

The third uncle couldn't wait any longer and his saliva was flowing.

"Well, this dish tastes really good. Comrade He Yuzhu, I am a good cook."

Teacher Shen had just noticed the dishes on the table and was drooling. He picked up a piece of meat and ate it, and immediately praised it highly.

The third uncle stopped talking at this moment. He lowered his head and focused on eating. He almost swallowed his tongue.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the house. The sound was not loud and before it attracted the attention of the three people, the door was pushed open.

"Silly, I want to eat meat."

The person who came in was Banggeng, holding a bowl in his hand. He ran to the dining table and stretched the bowl in front of He Yuzhu. Even a six-year-old kid, no matter how bad he was, knew that he couldn't take the food directly. However, his arrogant attitude and the self-righteous tone made people speechless.

He Yuzhu's embarrassment came back again and he didn't know how to deal with it.

The third uncle was upset and said, "Go away, there is something going on here, go home quickly."

"No, I want to eat meat, give me meat."

The tone of this guy's voice is becoming more and more like Jia Zhangshi's. It's true that like father, like son, like daughter, and like son, like mouse.

After Bang Geng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the meat on the plate on the table. He was not tall now, so he could just reach it.

The third uncle was very anxious. How could this be possible? If he was caught by you, he would feel uncomfortable eating it. He was also quick-witted and grabbed Banggeng's hand, saying, "Wait, I'll get it for you."

Banggeng was about to burst into tears, but when he heard what the third uncle said, he held back his tears.

The third uncle picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pieces of meat for Banggeng and put them in his bowl, saying, "Go back quickly."

"I don't. Not enough."

As he said this, he reached out his hand again.

The third uncle had no choice but to pick up two more pieces of chicken.

"Go back now, it's gone."

Banggeng looked at He Yuzhu who had a bad look on his face, took a piece of meat from the bowl and put it in his mouth, then ran out.

The third uncle looked at his back and murmured, "What a naughty child! He will probably be spoiled by Jia Zhang."

Although He Yuzhu felt uncomfortable, he still said, "Banggeng is a good-looking kid. He is quite likable."

The third uncle looked at him and said nothing. This Zhuzi is still a little stupid. People come to disturb your blind date, but you actually help them speak. This is really incredible.

Teacher Shen watched this scene quietly, feeling it was a little unbelievable and uncomfortable in his heart. A child came to ask for meat arrogantly without any embarrassment and called an adult a fool, showing no respect at all. But the adult was not angry at all. Was he really tolerant or just stupid?
