Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu's family finished their meal, He Yuzhu was holding his second child and playing with him when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" He Yuzhu asked.

"That Director He is me."

Hearing Liu Haizhong's voice coming from outside the house, He Yuzhu couldn't help but turn his eyes and began to think about Liu Haizhong's purpose in looking for him. He Yuzhu handed the child to Lou Xiaoe, asked Lou Xiaoe to carry the child into the house, and then said: "Second uncle, please wait a moment, I will open the door for you."

He Yuzhu pushed open the door and saw Liu Haizhong standing outside. "Uncle, is there something you want to talk to me about so late? Come in and talk." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and walked into the house.

After Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu sat down, they also sat down and said carefully: "Director He, since I listened to your teachings last time, I have actively and seriously started to study. Through my efforts, I became the team leader of our workshop three months ago. Of course, this is inseparable from Director He's education and guidance to me."

"Second uncle, you were able to become the team leader because of your personal efforts. It has nothing to do with me." He Yuzhu quickly interrupted Liu Haizhong and said.

"No, if Director He hadn't given me guidance, I would definitely still be the same as before, bumping around like a headless fly, and I would never have become a team leader." Liu Haizhong said sincerely.

"Okay, Second Uncle, stop flattering me. Second Uncle, I wonder what you are here for tonight?" He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with Liu Haizhong and simply asked directly.

Liu Haizhong took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to He Yuzhu, "Director He, this is a summary of my work and study over the past six months. Could you please take a look at it?"

He Yuzhu took the summary handed over by Liu Haizhong and read it at a glance. Regardless of how well Liu Haizhong wrote the content, judging from the handwriting, Liu Haizhong must have been very serious when he wrote it. How should I describe Liu Haizhong's handwriting? It looks like dog crawling. He Yuzhu felt uncomfortable just looking at it, let alone when Liu Haizhong was writing it. But Liu Haizhong insisted on writing several pages.

Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu finished reading the summary they wrote and quickly asked, "Director He, what do you think of what I wrote?"

He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Judging from the content, the second uncle wrote it very seriously, and it truly reflects the second uncle's attitude of working hard and actively learning in the past days." Although Liu Haizhong's handwriting is not very good, the content is written very realistically. And from the summary written by Liu Haizhong, it can be seen that Liu Haizhong has made great progress through the study in the past six months. At least it is much better than before when he couldn't even use an idiom properly.

Liu Haizhong felt a little embarrassed by He Yuzhu's praise, and then said: "Director He, you are too kind. I still have a lot to learn. So what do you think I should strengthen my study in the future?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Uncle, although you have made a lot of progress now, I feel that you are still not satisfied with your progress."

"Well, Director He, you are absolutely right. Although I feel that I have made progress compared to before, I am not satisfied with the status quo. I want to strive for greater progress, but I am a little confused. I don’t know how to study. I have learned everything taught in the literacy class organized by the street office, so I have to trouble you again." After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Liu Haizhong felt that He Yuzhu had touched his heart and said excitedly.

"The literacy class organized by the street office is to teach everyone to recognize words. Uncle Er, you have already recognized all the words, so it is really not suitable for you to continue studying in the literacy class of the street office. If you want to continue studying, you will have to rely on self-study in the future." He Yuzhu nodded and said.

"Self-study, how to self-study?" Liu Haizhong asked He Yuzhu with a confused look on his face.

"Self-study means reading books by yourself and learning knowledge through books." He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

"Can you learn knowledge just by reading books? Doesn't knowledge have to be taught by a teacher in school?" Liu Haizhong asked in disbelief.

"Uncle, studying in school is a good way to acquire knowledge, but people cannot study for their entire lives. You can still learn after leaving school. There is a saying that goes, "Reading is beneficial," which means that as long as you read a book, it will be helpful to you." He Yuzhu explained patiently.

"What book should I read then?"

"I suggest you go to the Sijiucheng Library and get a library card. Then you can see which books are suitable for you. The library has all kinds of books." He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Of course, if you really don't know what to read, I suggest you read the speeches and articles of the Great Commander. You can also learn a lot of knowledge and principles from them."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll go to the Sijiucheng Library this weekend to get the library card you mentioned."

"By the way, Second Uncle, as the saying goes, a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Progress cannot be achieved in one day, just like you became a team leader. Although it seems that you have only worked hard for a few months, this is also related to your serious study of technology in the past few decades. If you did not have the skills of a level 7 blacksmith, even if your workshop director promoted you to team leader, your subordinates might not necessarily accept you. Don't you think this is the truth?"

Liu Haizhong nodded and replied: "Well, yes, Director He, you are right."

"I tell you this because I hope that you can keep learning in the future as you did before. As long as you persevere, you will achieve your goal sooner or later. If you are satisfied with being a team leader and are content with the status quo, then I'm afraid you will only be able to stay in the position of team leader in the future. The same goes for your forging skills. If you don't continue to study new skills, then in the end you can only be a level 6 blacksmith in your life. Are you willing to be a level 6 blacksmith for the rest of your life?" He Yuzhu deliberately provoked Liu Haizhong a little.

Liu Haizhong was provoked by He Yuzhu and said excitedly: "Director He, how can I be content to be a level 6 blacksmith forever? My goal is to pass the exam to become a level 8 blacksmith. I want to make greater contributions to the factory."

"Second uncle, you are so ambitious. Just based on your spirit, I feel that you will definitely pass the exam to become a Grade 8 blacksmith. Second uncle, you have to keep working hard. I am waiting to drink the celebratory wine for you to pass the exam to become a Grade 8 blacksmith." He Yuzhu smiled sincerely and complimented Liu Haizhong a little. He knew that for someone like Liu Haizhong, proper praise and encouragement would make him feel satisfied and proud.

Liu Haizhong showed a proud smile on his face, and he patted his chest and said, "Thank you, Uncle Er. I will try my best to pass the 8th level blacksmith exam." Although he was a little embarrassed, his inner confidence was revealed. He believed in his ability and hoped to prove his worth by passing this exam.

"By the way, Uncle Er, if you have time in the future, you'd better practice calligraphy. To be honest, your handwriting is a bit... that." He Yuzhu reminded him tactfully. He looked at Liu Haizhong's expression and continued, "If you really get a more important position in the future, and your boss asks you to write a work summary, he won't be happy to see it."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned red. He realized that his handwriting might not be standard enough and left a bad impression on people. He looked at He Yuzhu gratefully and said sincerely: "Director He, I will definitely practice my handwriting in the future and strive to write neatly. Thank you for your guidance today. I will go back first and won't bother you anymore." After that, Liu Haizhong stood up from the chair and walked out.

"Second uncle, you are too polite. Please drive slowly."

He Yuzhu escorted Liu Haizhong out of the room, and smiled secretly at his ambitious back. He knew that although Liu Haizhong had some shortcomings, he was also a motivated person. He hoped that through his advice and guidance, he could help Liu Haizhong develop his career better.

Liu Haizhong, according to your original destiny, you were suppressed by Yi Zhonghai in the first half of your life. In the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Yi Zhonghai was a level 8 fitter and you were a level 7 forger; in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was the eldest uncle and you were the second uncle; that is, after the wind started, you took advantage of Xu Damao's power to pull Yi Zhonghai down from the position of the eldest uncle, but you only enjoyed a few years of glory. Later, all the uncles were gone and you were standing on the same starting line with Yi Zhonghai again.

Wait until the wind stops. The old men in the yard have all reached retirement age. As a result, Liu Haizhong's two sons ran away secretly again. When they ran away, they took the opportunity to move all the things in the house. As a result, Liu Haizhong has three sons in name, but none of them is around to take care of him in his old age. If Sha Zhu had not been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai and took the initiative to take care of the old people in the Siheyuan, who knows what would happen to the old people in the Siheyuan.

But now that I am here in this life, I must not let Yi Zhonghai live too comfortably. I, He Yuzhu, will help you, Liu Haizhong, change your fate. In your previous life, you, Liu Haizhong, did not become a level 8 blacksmith, so I will give you some chicken soup to motivate you, Liu Haizhong, to work hard and strive to become a level 8 blacksmith like Yi Zhonghai, so that you two can stand on the same starting line. In your previous life, Liu Haizhong, you did not have a son to take care of you in your old age, so I have to arrange a happy old age for you. How can Yi Zhonghai miss that kind of warm picture of loving father and filial son? I must arrange it for Yi Zhonghai. Although Yi Zhonghai does not have his own son and cannot experience the feeling of loving father and filial son, he can see it. I believe that Yi Zhonghai, who is so ideologically conscious, can definitely feel the same way.

It seems that there will be something to talk about with Liu Haizhong next time. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but squint and look at Yi Zhonghai's house next to his own house. "Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, I hope that after Jia Xudong dies, you will not be so ignorant as to provoke me, and be a loving family with the Jia family, otherwise I will arrange some big jobs for you."
