Siheyuan, my new life

When the morning sun rose from the east, Lin Yu appeared in the bedroom of the west wing of Courtyard No. 95. After nearly twenty hours of practice, his Qi Refining realm had been completely stabilized. Before leaving the paradise, Lin Yu had already eaten a hearty breakfast. Although he could take fasting pills to satisfy his hunger, he still liked to feast on it. After all, he still lived in an ordinary world, and more worldly flavor would help him fit in better.

At this time, in the bedroom, besides Zhou Di who stayed outside yesterday to be on guard duty, there were also Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang who had already returned from Hong Kong.

After the three of them bowed respectfully to Lin Yu, Lin Yu smiled and asked, "Zhou Hong, Zhou Huang, did your trip go smoothly?"

Zhou Huang smiled and replied: "Master, all the items that Lou Zhenhua had stored in the three banks have been retrieved. We also helped clean up the vaults and safe deposit boxes of the three banks. Now the vaults and safe deposit boxes of the three banks are clean without a single coin left. I believe those Ansa people yesterday will be very happy."

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and praised: "Not bad, this time it can be regarded as collecting some interest. When we have time in the future, let's go to their lair together. By the way, how many children with cultivation qualifications have been found in the southeast region?"

Seeing his master happy, Zhou Huang also smiled and said, "After preliminary screening, we found a total of 7,285 children of the right age with the qualifications to practice. Although most of them have mixed spiritual roots, there are also some children with outstanding qualifications. Among them, there are six children with single spiritual roots and 87 children with double spiritual roots. They can all be considered promising talents. We deliberately left some extra money for the families of these children."

Lin Yu nodded slightly and said: "Zhou Tian has already prepared the three cave dwellings, which will be named Qinglian Sect, Qinglian Gate and Qinglian School respectively. You can discuss the specific matters after returning to the paradise. Also, Zhou Hong, you should sort out the things you brought back from Hong Kong. I will talk to you after I get off work today." After that, he waved his hand and sent Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang into the paradise.

Lin Yu walked out of the bedroom and sat down at the Eight Immortals Table in the main room. He took out a set of crystal clear tea sets carved from top-grade spiritual stones from the storage ring, poured a cup of spiritual tea with a faint halo, took a sip, and secretly thought about today's work arrangements.

Time passed quickly without him noticing. When Zhou Di, who had been hiding beside him, reminded him, Lin Yu looked at the watch on his wrist and found that it was already 7:30 in the morning. He waved his hand, put the tea set into the storage ring, then got up and walked out of the house.

When Lin Yu was driving the jeep on the road to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, there were already groups of workers in blue and gray work clothes walking towards the factory in twos and threes, chatting. Occasionally, a bicycle passed through the crowd, ringing its bell continuously, and many people looked envious.

Looking at those faces with different expressions, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was a difficult era, but also a happy era. Although compared with later generations, the living standard of this generation was extremely poor, but the mental state of this generation was by no means comparable to that of later generations.

Hearing the honking of the jeep, the pedestrians who were originally walking in the middle of the road gave way on their own initiative. Lin Yu drove the jeep slowly through the crowd and smiled and nodded to thank the pedestrians who gave way on their own initiative. If you still want someone to give way on their own initiative in the future? That's probably a daydream. You can only follow behind them honestly.

Lin Yu, who was driving a jeep, suddenly noticed two figures walking on the side of the road, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with a strong build, and a boy who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. From the middle-aged man's face that looked very similar to that of Mr. Ni Dahong, Lin Yu felt that the other party was most likely He Daqing, who had followed the widow and abandoned his children and ran to Baoding early in the original drama, and the other boy must be He Yuzhu, also known as Sha Zhu, who had a tragic life.

Out of curiosity, Lin Yu slowly drove his jeep closer, rolled down the window, and shouted at the other party: "He Daqing?"

He Daqing, who was walking towards the Red Star Steel Mill with his son, was startled by the sudden shout and quickly looked around for the source of the sound.

It was He Yuzhu who saw the jeep slowly approaching. He pulled his father, then pouted at the jeep, and looked curiously at Lin Yu, who was wearing a police uniform in the jeep.

He Daqing certainly recognized this brand new Willys Jeep, and he was in awe of the person driving it. You know, ever since the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill took office, he almost wiped out the leadership team of the steel mill. To put it bluntly, the person the workers at the steel mill talked about the most these days was the powerful Director Lin Yu.

He Daqing quickly came over with a smile and greeted him: "Hello, Director Lin, I am He Daqing. What can I do for you?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "I heard from Huaide that you, He Daqing, are a good cook. I just saw you. Who are you with?"

He Daqing pulled his son over and introduced him: "This is my son He Yuzhu, nicknamed Zhuzi. Today he is with me in the canteen of the steel mill as a kitchen helper." He then patted his son on the head and scolded him: "Why don't you call him Uncle Lin?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Hello Uncle Lin, I am He Yuzhu."

Lin Yu looked at the somewhat honest boy in front of him and couldn't help feeling sad for him. If He Daqing hadn't abandoned him and his sister, He Yuzhu might not have become what he was later. Lin Yu's heart suddenly moved. Since he had already sent Liu Haizhong in, why not try to change He Yuzhu's fate?

So Lin Yu smiled and turned around to open the back door, saying, "Get in the car. I'm going to the steel mill too, and I'll take you two with me."

While He Daqing was still hesitating, He Yuzhu had already quickly gotten into the jeep. This was the first time in his life that he rode in a car, so he looked around curiously as soon as he got in.

Seeing his son already in the car, He Daqing hurriedly followed. He had ridden in a jeep a few times before when he went out to cook with his boss. Noticing his son's behavior, he couldn't help but pat his thigh gently, signaling him to behave himself.

The jeep continued to drive towards the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. While driving, Lin Yu asked: "Lao He, how old is Zhuzi? Why didn't he go to school?"

He Daqing sighed embarrassedly: "This kid is sixteen years old this year. He just started junior high school for one year and stopped going. He insisted on learning cooking from me. Although this kid is not good at studying, he has a good talent in cooking. Now he has become an apprentice. I have agreed with the canteen director to let this kid work as a kitchen helper in the kitchen for two years. If there is an opportunity in the future, he can become a regular employee. It can be considered a formal job."

Lin Yu smiled and said: "With your cooking skills, Lao He, you can admit that Zhuzi is qualified to be an apprentice, which is enough to show the level of this child. Isn't it a waste of time to let him be a kitchen helper?"

He Daqing sighed and said, "There are only a limited number of regular employees at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Unless I retire early to make room for him, he can only start as a temporary worker."
