Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu rode his bicycle out of the courtyard gate, he first turned to the post office and mailed a letter to He Daqing in Baoding. The letter detailed He Yushui's current situation, including her studies, life, and physical condition. In addition, He Yuzhu also emphasized that he had become a grandfather, and told He Daqing that Lou Xiao'e had given him three lovely grandchildren. Of course, he did not forget to tell He Daqing the names he gave the three children, He Guangzhen, He Guangxing, and He Guangzhong. Although He Daqing ran away to Baoding and did not take care of He Yushui's growth in person, his love and support for He Yuzhu's growth never diminished.

When He Yuzhu was young, after he stopped attending primary school, He Daqing carefully arranged for him to learn Shandong cuisine from Wu Baotian. Later, when He Daqing decided to go to Baoding, he went to great lengths to find Lou Bancheng to plead for him, and successfully arranged for He Yuzhu to work in the canteen of the steel mill, replacing his original position. Not only that, He Daqing would send 10 yuan from Baoding to He Yushui on time every month as child support. In general, He Daqing fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but fate played a trick on them, preventing their family from reuniting.

After sending the letter to He Daqing, He Yuzhu walked out of the post office slowly, feeling a little heavy-hearted. As the saying goes, one does not know the kindness of parents until he has a child. After he had a child, he understood how sad He Daqing must have felt when he decided to go to Baoding with the widow Bai. He rode his bicycle slowly towards the family compound where Li Ze lived. Along the way, he was filled with thoughts, recalling every little detail with his father, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

After arriving at the gate of the family compound where Li Ze lived, He Yuzhu stopped his bicycle and went to the guard room at the gate to register. After registering the information, He Yuzhu took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket as before and handed it to Xiao Zhang, the guard standing guard at the door.

Xiao Zhang returned He Yuzhu's work permit to him with a smile on his face. "Deputy Director He, you always give us a few cigarettes every time you come. We have become picky smokers because of the cigarettes you give us. We don't smoke as much as usual."

"It's better to smoke less. I'm going in, Xiao Zhang." After saying that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the staff quarters.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle slowly towards Li Ze. He had called Li Ze yesterday when he was at work to confirm whether he was at home today. When he arrived at the gate of Li Ze's villa, He Yuzhu did not meet Li Ze's children this time. He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into Li Ze's yard, locked the bicycle aside, and then took off the pepper chicken hanging on the handlebars.

He Yuzhu brought the spicy chicken to the front door of Li Ze's house and knocked. Before He Yuzhu could speak, Li Miaomiao's voice came from the room, "Is it Uncle He?" As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened from the inside. Li Miaomiao saw that it was He Yuzhu and immediately said excitedly, "Uncle He, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you anxiously."

Then Miao Aihua also came out and said to He Yuzhu with a smile on her face: "Her father came home from get off work yesterday and told her that you would come today. She was so happy that she got up early in the morning and ran to the gate of the family compound, hoping to see you earlier!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was moved. He couldn't help but squat down and said to Li Miaomiao gently, "I'm sorry, Miaomiao, Uncle He made delicious food for you, so I came late."

Li Miaomiao blinked and asked innocently, "Then I forgive you. Uncle He, what delicious food did you bring me?"

Seeing her expectant look, He Yuzhu smiled, handed the spicy chicken wrapped in kraft paper to her, and said softly: "Miaomiao, this spicy chicken is made by uncle himself. It's delicious."

Li Miaomiao was very happy. She immediately took the spicy chicken and could not wait to smell it through the brown paper. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "It smells so good. Thank you, Uncle He!"

At this time, Miao Aihua came over and said to He Yuzhu with a smile: "Xiao He, you said that you always bring something every time you come, which makes your sister-in-law embarrassed."

He Yuzhu waved his hands quickly and explained, "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. I'm just a good cook and can only make some delicious food. I won't refuse if you want me to bring something else. Besides, you always give me things every time I leave. This is called reciprocity."

Miao Aihua smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Xiao He."

"Okay, sister-in-law, let's stop being polite. Share some with the children. I made two flavors, one with chili and one without. Where's my brother Li?"

"He's reading documents in the study upstairs. He finally has a day off, but he can't sit idle." Miao Aihua said casually.

"Who made Brother Li have such heavy responsibilities? Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go upstairs to talk to Brother Li. Miaomiao, Uncle He will go upstairs to chat with your father first. I'll come down to play with you after we finish chatting."

Li Miaomiao was now attracted by the aroma of Kraft Paper's spicy and peppery chicken. She had no intention of talking to He Yuzhu and just nodded.

He Yuzhu smiled and walked upstairs. Soon he came to the door of Li Ze's study and saw that the door was wide open. He knocked on the door gently and then walked into the room.

"Brother Li, I'm here." He Yuzhu greeted Li Ze with a smile.

Li Ze, who was reading a document, heard the voice and quickly put down the document in his hand. He showed a friendly smile on his face and said enthusiastically: "Xiao He, you are here!"

Li Ze carried his teacup from the desk to the sofa next to the coffee table and sat down on the sofa. "Xiao He, you sit down too. There is water in the teapot on the coffee table. Pour it yourself. I won't greet you." After Li Ze sat down, He Yuzhu also sat down.

"Xiao He, you haven't been to my house for a while, right? My little greedy cat Miaomiao has been asking me many times when you will come." Li Ze said with a smile.

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "My wife gave birth a while ago. I was at home taking care of her during her confinement and couldn't leave, so I didn't have time to visit you."

"Xiao He, what's wrong with you? You should at least inform me when Xiao'e gives birth so that I can ask your sister-in-law to prepare a red envelope for the child. By the way, is it a boy or a girl?" Li Ze said with some complaint.

"I gave birth to triplets." He Yuzhu said happily.

"Hey, Xiao He, you are really capable. You have three sons at once. Congratulations." Li Ze said with a smile. "Have you chosen the names? What are the names of the children?"

"Give them good names. The three children will be named Guangzhen, Guangxing and Guangzhong."

"Nice name, with a good meaning. It seems that you, Xiao He, are planning to have more. Otherwise, we won't be able to have a complete family." Li Ze said happily after hearing the names of He Yuzhu's three sons.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It depends on fate. If I get pregnant, I'll have it. Anyway, I'm still young."

"Xiao He, how's your work lately?"

"Work is OK, everything is going well. After all, the main task of the logistics department where I work is to provide good logistics support."

"By the way, how's that truck replica you made going?"

"We are currently replicating the truck engine. If all goes well, we will be able to try to assemble the first engine next month."

"The progress is quite fast. Will the results come out so soon?" Li Ze became interested as soon as he heard it.

"We are only copying and processing engine parts now. It is hard to say whether we can assemble them successfully. After all, our factory's technical foundation is too weak."

"God will not let down those who work hard. As long as you dare to try, you will always succeed." Li Ze encouraged. "Xiao He, do you know that the idea you proposed before, of letting universities go to factories to help, has achieved good results."

"That's good. Brother Li, does this count as my advice for the country's development and construction?" He Yuzhu said happily.

"Well, it's because you young people have quick brains. You can come up with more good ideas like this in the future."

"As long as I can think of it, I will definitely report it to you, Brother Li."

"Then I'll look forward to your next good idea."

"Brother Li, can you tell me what the higher-ups think about the automotive industry now?"

"Xiao He, why are you asking this suddenly? Do you have any ideas?"

"I'm thinking, if our factory really copies the Dodge truck, will it be produced by our factory, or will they let our factory contribute the technology and build a new automobile factory to produce it?"

"As far as I know about the current policies, there is no plan to build a new car factory. After all, our country is short of oil resources. Xiao He, is this your own idea when you ask this?"

"Well, I think if our factory can successfully copy the Dodge truck, I suggest that we set up a new production workshop under our factory and produce the trucks in our factory."

"What is your reason for doing this?" Li Ze asked curiously.

"To produce a truck with excellent performance, we first need a strong steel industry to provide high-performance steel to ensure the quality of various parts of the truck. As a rolling mill, our factory has a steelmaking furnace. We can conduct special research and development based on the steel required for truck production and develop steel suitable for truck manufacturing. Only in this way can we produce high-performance trucks."

"Xiao He, your idea is very good. It is indeed a good idea. Let me tell you this. As long as your factory can imitate the Dodge truck, I will support your factory to produce the truck when we hold a meeting to study it. However, I cannot guarantee whether it will be approved."

"Brother Li, just say this. In fact, I would not complain even if I handed over the means of production of the trucks to others. It's just that since I led the workers to make it, I want to make it better in my hands and strive to surpass the American factory that produced it."
