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

After He Yuzhu made all the arrangements, he, Wen Li and He Wenjia hurried to Qingdao.

They have moved into the small building they purchased earlier. Although they don't live there on weekdays, they come back every weekend. In addition to being on duty, they like this place very much.

He Wenxuan drove to pick them up. The car he drove was used frequently.

"How is Yafei?" Wen Li couldn't wait to ask about Jiang Yafei's condition and interrupted He Wenxuan.

“Mom, she’s only three months old, everything is fine.

"He Wenxuan explained.

"What's good?" Wen Li was worried. "After all, this is her first child. Will she have a big reaction?"

“It wasn’t a big deal, just a little fatigue, so I went to see the doctor.

He Wenxuan added, “Now I can eat and drink, and I’m in good condition.

"Don't mess up your diet during pregnancy. Has your mother-in-law reminded you about it?" He Yuzhu asked with concern, because he was about to become a grandfather and was particularly concerned about this matter.

"I've reminded you, and you mentioned it on the phone, so now we are all following your recipe.

"He Wenxuan said helplessly.

“Well, that’s good. The key is to ensure nutrition. There are not many things to avoid.

He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

Nowadays, there are restrictions on snacks, drinks and fruits, and seafood is mainly avoided, as improper freshness and handling may cause diarrhea or vomiting.

This is definitely risky for pregnant women, so He Yuzhu prepared a menu in advance, focusing on balanced nutrition and also out of concern for his daughter-in-law's health.

He Wenjia didn't have a chance to interrupt, and the group hurriedly got into the car and drove straight to He Wenxuan's home.

Jiang Defu and An Jie were already waiting at the door. Seeing them, Jiang Defu smiled and said, "Hey, brother, why are you still standing outside?"

"You came all the way here, how can I not welcome you?" He went on to say, "It's just that there's no room in the car, otherwise I would have gone to the airport to pick you up a long time ago.

"No need, where is Yafei?" He Yuzhu asked.

"She's waiting in the living room!" Jiang Defu replied, "We didn't let her stand here.

At this time, Jiang Yafei walked out of the house and heard the noise outside. She immediately hurried out and shouted, "Dad, Mom..."

"Yafei, how do you feel?" Wen Li hurried forward and looked at her carefully.

"It's okay, it's only three months old!" Jiang Yafei was lively and wanted to turn around on the spot, but was stopped by Wen Li.

“Okay, be careful, the baby is still unstable.

"Wen Li immediately taught, "Come on, go in and sit down.

After three months, you can walk around properly. Pregnant women also need to exercise moderately. I tell you..."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “Wenli has been tossing and turning these days just because she wants to see Yafei.

“Haha, me too.

"Jiang Defu laughed,"Let's go in too.

He Wenxuan's status was no longer as high as before, so he was left behind by everyone to pack his luggage.

He Wenjia handed the luggage to his eldest brother and ran in excitedly to find his sister-in-law.

...

"How is Weimin doing?" Jiang Defu asked during lunch. "Is it not causing any trouble for you?"

"No!" He Yuzhu smiled, showing his concern for his son, "Weimin studies very hard, and he can understand everything I teach him very quickly.

“I didn’t bring him back this time, and left everything over there to him.

Go back and check, there should be no problem.

"Don't worry, bro. The kids have to live their own lives when they grow up. Can we take care of them forever?"

"Alas, you have a good attitude, I am far behind.

"In front of He Yuzhu, Jiang Defu never insisted. He knew that He Yuzhu was an honest person. "Your business is getting bigger and bigger.

"What's this?" He Yuzhu waved his hand. "In the future, there will be more large enterprises in our country, but we still need to develop slowly and gradually increase our strength.

By the way, how is your brother-in-law?"

“He’s much more honest, and now he seems to be holding his breath.

Jiang Defu also became happy, “He hasn’t complained since you taught him a lesson last time, but he must be holding back some energy, and maybe he will rebound one day.”

“People must recognize themselves and also understand the environment.

"He Yuzhu said," It won't be wrong to follow the policy. You should take a long-term view and not just focus on the present.

"That's right, let's toast!" Jiang Defu poured wine for He Yuzhu, while Wen Li was taking care of Jiang Yafei and picking up food for her.

Jiang Yafei couldn't refuse. He Yuzhu couldn't bear to see it and said to Wen Li, "Wife, that's enough...if you keep eating, Yafei will get too full.

"Ah?" Wen Li was stunned, "I just wanted her to eat more.

"Just be normal, don't put too much pressure on her, just pay more attention to her.

"He Yuzhu waved his hand," Don't spoil the child too much, otherwise it will be more difficult to educate him in the future.

"My dear relatives, the country is now implementing family planning. Look at them and their couple..." At this time, Jiang Defu suddenly spoke.

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment. He had encountered this problem in his previous life, as he was an only child.

Most families in the north abide by this policy. However, if they encounter major problems in the future, such as supporting the elderly, a couple may need to face the pressure of caring for four elderly people.

What about the south? Not many people abide by this rule. Those who are supposed to have children still give birth, and they persist even when life is difficult. As a result, the south has gradually become prosperous due to reform and opening up.

In later generations, the population growth rate declined, many young people chose not to marry or have fewer children, and the country began to encourage childbirth.

He Yuzhu didn't know how to respond, but their family still planned to have more children. "We still have to have children, one every three or four years. That's what Wenli and I did.

"First of all, we can afford it, and secondly, it is necessary in the long run!" He Yuzhu continued.

"Oh?" Jiang Defu was stunned, and then asked: "In the long run, what should we do?"

"Imagine if there is only one child, how much responsibility will they have to take on in the future after they get married?" He Yuzhu explained: "When the child gets married, the couple will have to face the problem of taking care of four elderly people. How can they do it without brothers and sisters to take turns to take care of them?"

"It's OK if you're healthy, but if you have a headache or a fever, who will take care of you?"

"Caring for the elderly is a big problem!" Jiang Defu heard this and felt it made sense.

He can still move, but one day he will be unable to move. Most of his children are serving in the military. The eldest, the second and Yafei are all soldiers, and Yaning is also stationed on the island with her husband.

Only Jiang Weimin is relatively free. Does he really have to be the only one to take care of things?

Jiang Defu was thinking in his mind, and He Yuzhu continued: "They are all in the army, which is indeed a bit tricky, but for the sake of the children, there are some things we must take on.

“We’ll have a second child after the eldest goes to kindergarten, so they won’t be too tired and can hire a nanny to help.

"Anjie interrupted at this time.

"Don't worry about it, you two. Are you going to take care of all five of your children in the future?" He Yuzhu waved his hand. "At your age, you should enjoy yourself and go out and play when you have time. Why bother yourself with children?"

"Taking care of children is indeed exhausting. Wenli and I definitely don't care. Our family can afford to hire someone, and we can even provide a job opportunity.

"He Yuzhu added.

“Hiring a nanny and providing employment is naturally a good thing, but you have to be careful when choosing someone, you have to find someone who is serious and responsible, and you can’t be sentimental in this regard.

Jiang Defu nodded in agreement, "We really need to find someone reliable, otherwise the quality of the child's education will be hard to say!"

"Let's talk about this later. Let them experience how difficult it is to raise a child first!" He Yuzhu seemed to be gloating a little.

After staying on the island for a few days, He Wenxuan and Jiang Yafei still had to go back to work. After all, they were soldiers, and fortunately Jiang Yafei was a civilian staff member.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu brought his wife and daughter back to Sijiucheng and was picked up by Jiang Weimin. He had obtained a driver's license and could drive alone.

After returning home and learning about the recent situation, He Yuzhu went to the tavern the next day.

The design drawings for Hong Kong Island were finally completed. After several revisions, the two sides communicated frequently for more than half a year and repeatedly polished the details.

Now, the construction is about to begin. The land has been selected and the construction unit has also been selected. We are just waiting for the design company to come in and start construction.

A groundbreaking ceremony also needed to be arranged, and He Yuzhu came for this purpose.

"Zhu Zi is back?" Cai Quanwu was still in the tavern, preparing for the upcoming opening of the tavern.

Xu Huizhen is investing with a loan this time. She hopes to get the largest share of the shares. Although she has ample funds, her funds are limited after all, so she has to seize this opportunity.

Otherwise, her funds would not be enough to support the operation of a five-star hotel.

He Yuzhu accepted 49% of Xu Huizhen's shares without thinking too much about it because he was not short of money and Shuxiangyuan's profits in the past few years had been substantial enough.

Moreover, the current domestic price level is still relatively low and is expected to rise next year.

“We’re back. Wenxuan is busy with work, and we won’t see them over there. There’s no point staying there.

"He Yuzhu found a seat and sat down," The hotel has already started preparations, and I have already deposited the first start-up capital into the account.

"Okay, I'll go call Huizhen over.

" Cai Quanwu immediately went to the backyard and soon returned with side dishes, while Xu Huizhen came over with wine.

After the couple sat down, Xu Huizhen poured some wine and said, "Zhu Zi, I want to make a statement here. We will definitely run the hotel carefully and will never let you lose money.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “It’s hard to make a loss now. There is a huge demand for hotels in Beijing, so we will definitely make money.

But to make money in the long run, management must keep up.

“Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law.

"Xu Huizhen responded: "Don't worry, my eldest daughter will be the hotel manager. She is a college student and has much more experience than me.

It’s a pity that the two families failed to become relatives.

"Haha, aren't we partners now?" He Yuzhu raised his glass, and after the two of them toasted, they began to discuss the specific details.

He Yuzhu is mainly responsible for checking the finances, and leaves other matters to Xu Huizhen.

Regarding shares, although he holds a controlling stake, he does not have absolute control, and major decisions still need to be decided at meetings.

He Yuzhu doesn't mind this. Rules are rules, and a partnership must be run according to the rules to avoid future disputes.

The same is true of his cooperation with Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e is responsible for daily affairs, but major decisions and formulas are controlled by He Yuzhu.

A few days later, the hotel broke ground. With detailed design drawings and on-site guidance from a professional design team, the project progressed rapidly and the quality was guaranteed.

Steps such as laying the foundation and laying pipes are progressing rapidly, followed by the construction of the main structure.

The main building and the auxiliary building are connected. The main building has one underground floor and twelve above-ground floors. It is square in shape, which saves costs and provides enough guest rooms. He Yuzhu requires that the ceiling height of each room must reach five meters.

The main building is about sixty meters high, which makes the construction difficult and reduces the construction cost.

You know, the higher a high-rise building goes, the higher its cost.

However, the interior of this square building is hollow, which allows for more guest room layout while ensuring daylight.

The main building is located in front of the street, while the secondary building is behind the main building. It is a horizontal rectangle with only four floors and no basement.

The two buildings are connected by a passage. The annex building is mainly used for entertainment, dining and leisure. There is even a greenhouse on the fourth floor where various tropical plants are planted, which can remain vibrant even in winter.

There are two gardens and outdoor facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool between the main building and the annex building.

The seemingly simple layout actually has beautiful geometric lines and will never look outdated no matter how the future changes.

At the same time, the exterior walls are made of tempered glass, which will not look old with the passage of time.

At night, it looks even more beautiful under the lights.

The project is expected to take one year. Construction has already started and the main work is expected to be completed before winter. The indoor facilities will then be installed in winter, and the interior decoration stage will begin in early spring next year.

Personnel recruitment and training should also be started as soon as possible. These matters will be handled by Xu Huizhen, after all, she has a strong personality.

The progress for He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe is also going smoothly. Sichuan Flavor has opened three branches in Beijing, and Chef He's products in Tianjin have also started selling.

Sichuan Flavor is in good operating condition and only needs to develop steadily, first gaining a foothold in Beijing and Tianjin, and then gradually expanding to pilot cities in the south. As the country's opening-up policy progresses, there is no need to rush for quick success.

The training of store managers is the key. He Yuzhu plans to build his own system, where all stores will belong to himself. This will save a lot of rent and will be an important asset in the long run.

So, the time came to the spring of 1985, two months before the hotel opened.

Jiang Yafei is about to give birth, so He Yuzhu asks He Wenjia to move to Xu Huizhen's place temporarily, while he and Wen Li fly directly to Qingdao.

Jiang Yafei's due date is approaching, and it was Anjie's suggestion that she be admitted to the hospital early.

She had experienced a difficult childbirth and was particularly cautious about this.

He Yuzhu's family has always been like this, so Jiang Yafei was hospitalized in advance to give birth.

After arriving at the hospital, Jiang Defu and An Jie were both present. Everyone greeted each other. Wen Li saw Jiang Yafei's big belly and immediately stepped forward to ask for details.

The gender of the fetus in Jiang Yafei's belly is unknown, but it is undoubtedly He Yuzhu and Wen Li's first grandchild, and they are both quite nervous.

He Yuzhu comforted Jiang Yafei: "Don't put too much pressure on us, we don't care about men or women.

"Dad, Wenxuan has told me many times.

"Jiang Yafei looked at He Wenxuan.

"That's good. We didn't bring anything with us, but I'll take care of your meals for the next few days. I guarantee they'll be delicious and nutritious.

"He Yuzhu promised.
