Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

In this way, He Yuzhu and Zhang Zili sat quietly in the courtyard, talking excitedly. Suddenly, a clear and loud "clang clang clang" sound broke the silence. This sudden sound made He Yuzhu frown. When he was about to ask what the sound was, Zhang Zili beside him smiled and explained: "Deputy Director He, let's go! This 'clang clang clang' sound means that the canteen is open for dinner!"

After listening to Zhang Zili's words, He Yuzhu suddenly realized and secretly sighed in his heart: So that's it! This "clang clang clang" sound is actually used to inform everyone that the canteen has started serving meals! After all, there are many workers in the First Farm, and not everyone can own a watch to accurately grasp the time. It must be said that using such a simple and direct method is really convenient and practical, and fully demonstrates the endless wisdom of the working people!

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu stood up quickly, turned around and walked into the house to take out his lunch box. Then, he followed Zhang Zili closely with brisk steps and walked towards the cafeteria together.

Along the way, He Yuzhu was full of curiosity and couldn't help asking Zhang Zili: "Director Zhang, I want to ask, are people still squatting anywhere to eat after getting their meals in the cafeteria like they used to?"

"Deputy Director He, what you are talking about is all in the past! We no longer eat anywhere we can like we did before. When we successfully built the brick factory and the small cement factory on our farm, we all upheld the spirit of self-reliance and hard work! We first focused on solving the most critical housing problem for the farm workers."

"After that, we immediately built a row of spacious and bright canteens. According to the original design, these canteens were able to accommodate all the people on the farm to eat at the same time. But who would have thought that once the workers from the second farm arrived, they would immediately be stretched to the limit. We had no choice but to arrange for everyone to eat in batches."

Hearing this, Deputy Director He couldn't help but frown and asked, "So that's what's going on. Then how do you solve the accommodation problem for the workers in the second farm?"

Zhang Zili smiled and replied in an orderly manner: "It's easier to deal with the female workers. They are temporarily living in the houses we built earlier. As for the male workers, they have been arranged to rest in the temporary warehouse used to store grain."

"But don't worry. The hundreds of warehouses are basically empty now. The workers of the Second Farm will not be crowded at all. After the wheat is harvested this year, the workers of the Second Farm will gradually evacuate here and head to their own Second Farm. By that time, these granaries can be vacated to store grain."

"Your method is truly ingenious! Not only does it effectively avoid the waste of resources caused by building more houses, but it can also properly accommodate the workers of the second farm. It's really killing two birds with one stone!" As the two were chatting happily, they arrived at the cafeteria unknowingly.

He Yuzhu looked around and saw many workers lined up in a long queue, patiently waiting for their meals. He stopped without hesitation and stood there quietly. In fact, he had already eaten something to fill his stomach, so he was not in a hurry to eat at this moment. Instead, he wanted to observe the specific conditions of the workers while they were eating.

So he turned to Director Zhang beside him and said, "Director Zhang, go get your lunch box. I'll wait here for a while. I'm not too hungry yet. I'll enjoy the meal after all the workers have finished their meal."

"Okay then, you wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Zhang Zili hurriedly ran towards his office and soon disappeared from He Yuzhu's sight.

He Yuzhu saw this, picked up his lunch box, and then slowly stepped out and walked into the canteen. As soon as he entered the canteen, the first thing that caught his eye was the food delivery area at the other end. Between the food delivery area and the door, in a space of hundreds of meters, simple tables and benches made of wooden boards were neatly placed. Probably to reduce costs, the tables and benches were directly placed on the brick pillars. Although these tables and chairs looked simple, they were very practical and could meet the workers' daily dining needs.

After He Yuzhu briefly visited the canteen, he walked out directly. If he stood in the canteen all the time, it would affect the workers' meals. When he walked out of the canteen, Zhang Zili had already returned from the office with his lunch box.

"Director Zhang, are you hungry now? If you are not hungry, can you take me to visit the staff dormitory?"

Seeing He Yuzhu say this, Zhang Zili hurriedly nodded in agreement, then took He Yuzhu towards the staff dormitory area.

"Deputy Director He, our staff living area is to the south of the cafeteria. To the north of the cafeteria are our farm's office area and warehouse. Oh, and the house you live in is also in the office area."
