Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

As the sun gradually sets, its altitude slowly decreases, and the originally scorching hot air begins to cool. After four days of hard work day and night, all the wheat is finally about to complete the critical step of threshing.

When the diesel engine driving the last thresher emitted a low roar and then slowly shut down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - this meant that the harvesting of the vast 50 acres of wheat on the First Farm could finally come to a successful conclusion!

Zhang Zili could not contain his excitement and joy, and immediately rushed to the canteen like an arrow. He saw He Yuzhu standing there, so he rushed forward in two steps, his face full of excitement and shouted loudly: "Deputy Director He, the wheat in our First Farm has finally been threshed! Now we just have to wait for another day of drying tomorrow, and then we can smoothly complete the storage of all the wheat! This year's wheat harvest is finally completed!"

Hearing this good news, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile with relief. He patted Zhang Zili on the shoulder and asked, "That's great! How is the wheat yield this time?"

Zhang Zili thought for a moment, then answered confidently: "We have already stored 2.6 million kilograms of wheat in the past few days! And according to the current situation, we should be able to store about 6000 million kilograms more. Of course, the exact number can only be known after all the goods are stored tomorrow, but I estimate that the result will not be too different from the calculation." After saying this, Zhang Zili could hardly hide his pride, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

"That's 3.2 million catties of wheat! The average yield per mu of land is about 640 catties! However, we have to first discard the 1600 million catties of wheat seeds that were previously allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, and then deduct the 5000 million catties of wheat that was reserved for seeds next year."

"In this way, the amount of wheat that our First Farm can hand over to the country this year is 2.5 million jin! Director Zhang, I have to say that the report card achieved by our First Farm this year is really outstanding!" He Yuzhu's face was full of smiles, his eyes full of excitement and appreciation.

Hearing this praise, Zhang Zili quickly waved his hands and responded very humbly: "Haha, no, no, these achievements are all the hard work of all the workers day and night! If it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts and joint efforts, there would be no such gratifying harvest today!"

After a pause, he added: "Of course, this is also inseparable from the foresight and wise leadership of Deputy Director He! Thanks to your advice and careful planning behind the scenes, we can complete various tasks so smoothly and usher in this great harvest!"

"The credit belongs to everyone. I just gave some advice. These 35 gazelles came just in time! It's just right for us to celebrate this year's bumper wheat harvest!"

At this point, He Yuzhu paused for a moment and then continued, "Director Zhang, have you chosen the representatives of the outstanding workers that I asked you to choose?"

"I've selected them. The list is in the field office!"

"Now that we have chosen them, let's hold a simple ceremony tonight to commend these 35 yellow sheep and give sheep heads to the leaders of these workers."

"Well, we must make tonight's celebration banquet lively!" Zhang Zili said, nodding.

......

After a busy day, the farm workers cleaned up in the dormitory and gathered outside the canteen. Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. The rich aroma of mutton soup in the air seemed to turn into invisible little hands, gently teasing people's taste buds. Everyone's throat rolled unconsciously, and their mouths continuously secreted a lot of saliva. They looked like a group of hungry little animals smelling the scent of food.

At this moment, Zhang Zili's loud and clear voice suddenly came from the radio: "Attention all farm workers! Please line up quickly and in an orderly manner. We are about to prepare for dinner! However, before the meal officially starts, I have to read out a special list for everyone."

"The workers on this list have been working diligently and conscientiously since our first farm was established. They are all the most outstanding worker representatives in each group! After the proposal of our Deputy Director He, and the unanimous approval of all the cadres of the farm, it was decided to give these hard-working workers a special reward. Everyone on the list can get an extra half of a delicious sheep's head tonight! Now, let me announce this list of honors to everyone..."

As Zhang Zili's rhythmic voice echoed on the radio, the whole audience suddenly became silent, and everyone pricked up their ears for fear of missing their own name.

After he finished reading the list of outstanding workers in the First Farm, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Next, let's talk about the workers in the Second Farm. Although they are not directly involved in the planting and management of wheat, there are also many individuals who have performed very well during the wheat harvest!"

"So, for the workers in the Second Farm who have performed well, each of them will be rewarded with an extra delicious sheep's hoof this year. So, who will be able to win this honor? Let me tell you one by one..."

As everyone was happily tasting the fragrant, steaming mutton head soup, He Yuzhu smiled and looked at the workers who were awarded mutton heads and mutton hooves for their outstanding work performance, and said, "You all know that more than 2,000 years ago, there was a heroic young general named Huo Qubing! Back then, this young and promising general led the brave and fearless soldiers and launched an extremely fierce battle with the Huns. In the end, they successfully won this arduous battle with their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding military talents!"

At this point, He Yuzhu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Upon learning that General Huo Qubing had returned triumphantly, Emperor Wu of Han was very pleased and specially rewarded him with a jar of mellow and rich wine to commend his outstanding military exploits. However, due to the large number of soldiers who went on the expedition together, it was difficult for everyone to taste just one jar of wine. Faced with such a situation, General Huo Qubing did not enjoy this gift alone, but poured the precious wine given to him by Emperor Wu of Han into the clear spring water without hesitation. Then, he raised his arms and shouted, inviting all the soldiers to drink the spring water mixed with the imperial wine to celebrate this hard-won victory!"

At this time, He Yuzhu raised his voice again and said excitedly: "Today is the happy day for our First Farm to welcome the bumper wheat harvest! Although we don't have that mellow wine, we have this delicious mutton soup. Let us imitate General Huo Qubing's generosity and use this bowl of mutton soup instead of wine, raise our glasses together, and warmly celebrate the event of the wheat harvest! Come on, let's toast together!" After that, He Yuzhu took the lead in raising the big bowl in his hand, tilted his head back and took a big sip.

Seeing this, others also responded. For a moment, cheerful laughter and loud clinking sounds intertwined and echoed throughout the farm.
