Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Chen Xueru's voice was weak and faint, but He Yuzhu still heard it.

He Yuzhu understands that all little girls are shy.

All the way to the Zhengyang Gate, He Yuzhu sent her to the door of the silk shop.

Chen Xueru took her hand out reluctantly, and when she looked at He Yuzhu, she was still reluctant to do so.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you must be cold on the way here. Why don't you come into the house and I'll light some coal for you?" Chen Xueru took the initiative to invite.

As a person who practices traditional Chinese martial arts, He Yuzhu has long had the ability to keep warm.

However, seeing Chen Xueru's sincere invitation, He Yuzhu still agreed.

After He Yuzhu agreed, Chen Xueru's little daughter couldn't calm down at all.

She ran into the house excitedly, no longer looking like the proprietress of a silk shop, but more like a little girl.

After entering the house, Chen Xueru had already set up the coal stove.

He also made a pot of hot tea for He Yuzhu and let He Yuzhu sit and chat for a while.

As a business person, Chen Xueru is quite talkative.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I've been calling you comrade, which makes it seem like we're not friends. How about we change our nicknames?"

"Okay, what are you going to call me?"

He Yuzhu asked.

"Brother Zhuzi, is it okay?"

"It's just a name, there's nothing wrong with it."

He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Then you can call me Xueru from now on, okay?" Chen Xueru asked.

He Yuzhu nodded.

Chen Xueru had just mentioned that her family members had passed away. Now she looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, are your parents still alive?"

"My mother has also passed away, and my father and sister are still by my side," said He Yuzhu.

The two had a deep conversation, and He Yuzhu even mentioned some things that made him unwilling to return to his hometown.

"Is the place you lived before like this?" Chen Xueru asked in surprise.

"Yeah, when people live together, all they do is scheme. When my dad came back this time, he himself didn't dare to go back."

"It's so terrible." Chen Xueru had never met such a bad person before, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Chen Xueru's words, He Yuzhu said, "Indeed, but I think the more you hide, the more you seem to be afraid of them."

"It's not worth it to confront the bad guys head-on. Even though you are good at fighting, it's still unnecessary." Chen Xueru advised.

"I won't go back, but my father is going to marry a new wife soon, and it's not good for her to live with us. I have to go back. After all, he bought the house, so it's useless to leave it there."

"That's true." Chen Xueru smiled innocently.

"They are plotting against me just because they want someone to take care of them in their old age. Now that my father is back, it's hard for them to plot against me."

"It's just that I came out of the hospital, worked in Hongbin Building, and went to study at Huaqing University. My life has been getting better and better. The only thing I'm worried about is that you can't see me getting better."

"I told the people around me not to talk about this matter. After I graduate, it won't matter if they know about it."

Chen Xueru had asked He Yuzhu before, and only then did she realize that everything she heard during the military control that day was true.

He became the head chef of Hongbinlou at such a young age, that’s enough.

He also used his spare time to study and was directly admitted to Huaqing University. He Yuzhu was also very skilled.

Such a person is simply in a perfect state.

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru and said, "I don't want to be trapped at the stove for the rest of my life, so I have to study."

"Now is a good time to build the country, and in the future we ordinary people will have more and more opportunities to display our talents."

After He Yuzhu said this, Chen Xueru admired him even more.

This is an ambitious man who is able to endure hardships and has a handsome appearance.

The most important thing is that she has a kind heart. If He Yuzhu had not acted in time that day, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.

He Yuzhu's courage is not something that ordinary people can match.

The salary in Hongbinlou is already high, not to mention the salary of a master chef.

It is something that many people can only dream of but He Yuzhu gave up just for the sake of his dream.

Not everyone has the courage to give up everything and start over.

And He Yuzhu is not fighting for himself, but for the country.

Such people are worthy of admiration, but Chen Xueru is not very old and has been working in the market for many years.

I still think that it’s better for everyone to be nice to each other, and everyone just needs to take care of themselves.

The concept of building a country was so huge that Chen Xueru dared not even think about it, so she gave some advice.

"Brother Zhuzi, the goal you mentioned for building the country is really too big. What if your future life is not as good as it is now? What will you do?"

He Yuzhu didn't blame Chen Xueru for what she said.

After all, after the establishment of the country, there are more controls on private enterprises.

As someone who makes a living from this, it is only natural that Chen Xueru cannot understand the construction of the country.

However, He Yuzhu still wanted to express his thoughts. He said to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, did you have the opportunity to do business during the war?"

"No." Chen Xueru shook her head.

"This is what I want to say. If our national will is in a state of war and can be bullied at will, it is simply impossible for ordinary people like us to live a good life."

"That's why I want to build the country. Only when the country is strong can ordinary people like us live a good life."

After He Yuzhu said this, Chen Xueru immediately understood.

She thought of her previous experiences in business and agreed with He Yuzhu's words.

"You're right. I was cheated by foreigners at the beginning. I didn't make any money and I was almost harmed by them." Chen Xueru was still indignant when she said this.

"Didn't you say before that your parents died because of the Japanese? As long as our country is weak."

"The Japanese have been coveting us for many years. Will they be scared by this defeat and never bother us again? I don't think that's possible."

He Yuzhu's words touched Chen Xueru's heart.

Although she had no concept of building a country, she still had a strong hatred for the Japanese.

Originally, their family was in the silk business, and warriors also needed clothes.

Because she was unwilling to pay tribute to the Japanese, her parents were killed.

She still remembers this blood feud clearly.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said at this moment, my heart ached even more.

He Yuzhu saw the pain on his face, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Our country will never be bullied like this again."

Chen Xueru had been convinced at this moment, and she also began to recognize He Yuzhu's ambitions.

"I haven't read much, but if there is something I can do in the future, I will definitely do it," said Chen Xueru.
