Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

At this time, Wen's mother asked, "What does the boy look like?"

Wen Li thought for a moment and replied, "It's not ugly, but it's not pretty either, it makes me look a little old.

My eldest brother-in-law interrupted: “It doesn’t matter if you look old, for men, appearance is not that important.

People who look old when young age slowly.

Decades later, the appearance may not change much.

“Well, there are a lot of people like this.

"My second brother-in-law also agreed.

Mother Wen smiled and said, "So you don't have any bad feelings towards him, right?"

"Just try to get along with each other. After all, you are almost at the age of marriage. See if what he said is right and whether you can complement each other.

" Wen's father holds the same view.

“Yes, let’s get along.

If you marry him, at least we don't have to worry about your life. You can't ask us for help in storing cabbage for the winter, right?" Wenhui said with a smile, "It's hard to say.

"

……

When He Yuzhu returned to the compound, Yan Bugui was already waiting in the front yard.

He saw He Yuzhu and immediately went up to him and asked, "Zhu, what's going on?"

He Yuzhu stopped and replied, "Whether this will succeed is still unknown. Although the girl is not good at managing the household, she does look good.

“I have agreed, now it’s up to her to decide.

"Yan Bugui continued.

"She hasn't made up her mind yet, coming back so late?" Yan Bugui was surprised. After all, if she was not satisfied, she would not have dragged it on until now.

“You’ve already watched a movie and had dinner, but she seems to be still hesitant, so we have to wait for her response on this matter.

"He Yuzhu added: "But I think it should be soon, after all, she is a young girl who has never seen the world.

"Oh, Zhuzi, are you so sure?" Yan Bugui was even more surprised, "You haven't even been in love yourself!"

"Who are we?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I have been hanging around in restaurants since I was a child, and I have seen all kinds of people.

"Isn't it easy to deal with a little girl?" he said confidently.

“You have done a great job on this matter. I will send you something tomorrow, and there will be a generous reward after the task is completed.

"He Yuzhu promised.

Yan Bugui was very happy. He returned home and sat alone with a smile on his face.

When the aunt asked about it, he was very happy and then coaxed the youngest daughter, Yan Jiedi, to sleep.

After He Yuzhu returned home, He Yushui asked a series of questions, which were finally answered patiently by He Yuzhu.

The next day, Yan Bugui came to the class again. At noon, he received a message from Teacher Li. Wen Li said that they could have further contact.

Yan Bugui was ecstatic!

In the evening, He Yuzhu sent ten kilograms of flour and one kilogram of pork to Yan Bugui's family. This gift was very generous.

He reminded: "Third uncle, remember to keep this a secret and don't publicize it in the compound until it's done.

"I understand, Zhuzi, don't worry!" Yan Bugui understood, "My family will definitely keep it a secret for you.

"Okay!" He Yuzhu felt a little relieved.

After learning the news, He Yuzhu rode his bike directly from the steel rolling mill to Wen Li's school at noon the next day after making lunch.

He asked the guard to call out Wen Li.

When Wen Li saw him, she asked in surprise, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

“When I heard the news, I naturally took the initiative.

"He Yuzhu explained," We have no other way to contact each other, so I chose to come here at noon. The cafeteria is already open for lunch, so it's just right to come here during the lunch break.

"Let's find a place to eat together, I'm a little hungry.

"Well... okay!" Wen Li was a little overwhelmed by the situation, but He Yuzhu seemed very comfortable.

They came to the school cafeteria and He Yuzhu took three lunch boxes.

“Try my cooking.

"He took out a portion of mapo tofu, a dish of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of twice-cooked pork, and three white flour buns.

Wen Li looked at the rich dishes and was amazed. After taking a bite, she praised: "It's delicious..."

“Big pot dishes are not my forte, but if it’s small stove cooking, I can at least reach level four or above.

"He Yuzhu glanced at the system interface.

【Chef training system started! 】

[Host: He Yuzhu]

[Age: 20 years old]

[Occupation: Chef]

【技能：谭家菜初级（85/100）、川菜中级（852/1000）、面点中级（612/1000）、大锅菜高级（3862/）】

[Space: storage space, planting space, breeding space]

Tan's cuisine remains the same as always, really due to lack of ingredients, while Sichuan cuisine has entered an intermediate stage, there are not many small stoves, and most of the dishes are still home-cooked, but they should not be too ostentatious.

The one who made the fastest progress was Da Guocai. He had never participated in the assessment before. The number of assessments for cooks was limited. After all, this involved consuming food ingredients, and the assessments were not as frequent as the quarterly assessments for front-line workers.

Therefore, he chose to wait and take the exam again this year. It should be no problem for him to be promoted to Level 6 directly.

In terms of pastries, steamed buns and noodles are daily staples, and the growth rate is slower.

If you try to make other pastries such as dumplings, it may be faster, but it is also limited.

He was not in a hurry as he did not have the space to fully display his cooking skills yet.

He often went to the big leader's house and played Go with him. He Yushui was also a frequent visitor there.

Wen Li was eating with gusto at the moment, her little mouth making constant smacking sounds, and a big steamed bun was finished in an instant.

She burped and quickly covered her mouth.

After eating two steamed buns, He Yuzhu looked at Wen Li and asked, "How does it taste?"

"Good...very delicious!" Wen Li seemed a little shy at this moment.

"Okay, I'll take care of lunch from now on.

"He Yuzhu immediately packed up the lunch box.

Wen Li hurriedly said, "Let me help you wash it!"

"No, there's not enough time. I have to go to work in the afternoon!" After He Yuzhu finished packing, "See you tomorrow.

After saying that, he picked up his lunch box, turned around and left, riding his bike to the entrance of the elementary school.

"Grandpa, I'm Wenli's boyfriend. I'll bring her lunch at noon. Remember my face.

As he spoke, he handed over a box of Daqianmen.

"Oh, the front gate!"

The old security guard took it without hesitation and said, "No problem, I didn't expect that Teacher Wenli actually has a boyfriend. Many male teachers in our school want to pursue her.

"Young man, you better watch out.

"Don't worry about that. Those male teachers are no match for me. I have this confidence. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come.

"He Yuzhu got into the car,"See you tomorrow.

From that day on, He Yuzhu would come to have lunch with Wen Li every day at noon, and the single young men in the elementary school were all disgusted with him.

Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about He Yuzhu, and Sunday came again in a blink of an eye.

He Yuzhu was still invited in the morning. His cooking skills were well-known far and wide, naturally in Jiaodaokou Street and the steel rolling mill area.

Although the fee is expensive, five yuan per table, many people are still invited.

Generally speaking, at least four times a month, especially on Sundays, because of work and environmental factors, people will not deliberately choose an auspicious day.

After all, it is impossible to choose a banquet on a weekday, especially since most of the people who invite him are cadres or wealthy people who care about face.

Of course, there are invitations at night, mostly for funerals, and these cannot be chosen on specific dates, but they are just less common.

The income from private cooking far exceeds his salary, but most people don’t know this. After all, they are in different circles, and He Yuzhu doesn’t interact much with people in the compound, except Yan Bugui’s family.

He Yuzhu understood that he couldn't fight alone, and he had to win over those who needed to be won over.

After Yi Zhonghai had a disciple like Jia Dongxu, he no longer bothered He Yuzhu. This was the most peaceful period in the compound.

The turning point was naturally when Jia Dongxu passed away, so He Yuzhu temporarily asked the third uncle to hide the blind date. As long as they got married and had children as soon as possible, the future should be much calmer.

……

"Wenli!" He Yuzhu arrived at the agreed location at 2 pm on time.

"Zhu Zi!" Wen Li now called him that, and their relationship was clearly warming up.

After all, He Yuzhu insisted on delivering lunch every day at noon. How could a girl in the fifties resist such an offensive?

"Listen, we've known each other for a week. When do you think it's a good time for me to visit your home?" He Yuzhu planned to take further action.

Wen Li hesitated: "Isn't it too fast?"

"Is that fast?" He Yuzhu retorted, "Some people meet on the first day and get married on the second day. Is ours fast?"

"And it's just to meet the future father-in-law and mother-in-law and get to know each other!"

He Yuzhu began to adopt the upper-level strategy, he knew Wen Li was too cautious.

Recalling the plot in "Golden Wedding", she and Tong Zhi were together for eight months before letting their parents meet, which was quite rare at the time.

In this era, the two of them are considered exceptions and their marriage does not seem to be going well.

The rift between them, coupled with their children's poor achievements and even chaotic lives, meant that they could not be considered successful either as a couple or as parents.

He Yuzhu understood that he could not let Wen Li's personality take the lead and he had to take the initiative.

"Then let's set it for next Sunday!" Although Wen Li had already accepted He Yuzhu in her heart, due to her personality, she still proposed this time.

"No problem, I happen to have no plans next Sunday, so I can just drop by and visit you.

"He Yuzhu was very happy and suggested: "Let's go and play for a while!"

---

On Monday, a new round of assessment began, and He Yuzhu actively signed up for the assessment for cooks.

The factory canteen has been expanded to four, with thousands of people eating in the four canteens, usually following the principle of proximity because the factory area is huge.

He Yuzhu is the squad leader of the first canteen. In addition to the workers' dining room, the canteen also has an office for the canteen director and a small room for leaders.

The first canteen is the key canteen in the factory, responsible for receiving various activities such as inspections by superiors, visits and study sessions by sister units, etc.

The expansion of the steel rolling mill is still ongoing. The number of employees has not yet reached 10,000, and it is expected that large-scale recruitment will be needed to achieve the goal.

He Yuzhu easily passed the sixth-level cook assessment and became the highest level cook in the steel rolling mill canteen. Unless he changed jobs, his level would not be promoted.

With a monthly salary of 48.5 yuan plus a 2 yuan subsidy from the team leader, his monthly income exceeds 50 yuan.

He was not the only one who was promoted in the compound. Yi Zhonghai passed the seventh-level fitter assessment, Jia Dongxu passed the **-level fitter assessment, but Liu Haizhong remained where he was and was still a sixth-level fitter.

Yi Zhonghai's monthly income was 84.5 yuan, and Jia Dongxu's was 45.5 yuan. The news about the master and apprentice spread quickly.

He Yuzhu kept a low profile, while Jia Zhang was eager to publicize her son's achievement with drums and gongs, and the two families raised their glasses to celebrate.

He Yuzhu's promotion was uneventful, except for the third master Yan Bugui who quietly asked, "Zhuzi, is there an assessment for the cooks this time?"

He Yuzhu nodded and confirmed: "Third Master, I am now a level 6 cook.

"Oh, we have to celebrate!" Yan Bugui was surprised and asked, "Your monthly salary is over fifty, right?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, “Third Master, you calculated too quickly, I just passed fifty yuan, but it’s already the top in the steel rolling mill.
