Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

A few train tickets are not a big deal for Professor Guan, because his eldest daughter happens to work in the Municipal Transportation Bureau. This department was established in 75. In order to adapt to the development of the modern economy, the Ministry of Transportation was split from the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Each department has its own independent business. Although it is still directly under the Ministry of Transportation, its functions are completely different. Therefore, in order to better distinguish them, the local departments have changed their names, such as Post Office, Electric Power Bureau, Railway Bureau, Transportation Bureau, etc.

However, there was no experience in the first integration of local areas, and many businesses still had conflicts, such as transportation allocation and ticket management. Kyoto was in chaos. In fact, it was not just Kyoto, but similar situations occurred in various places. Therefore, chaos must be managed, and management requires professional talents. Then there was job replacement, that is, you come to my place and I go to your place. It was at this time that Professor Guan’s daughter was transferred to the Transportation Bureau through job replacement, and was responsible for public transportation in the city...

China is a society based on personal relationships. Whether it is an organization or an individual, everyone values ​​reciprocity. Since He Yuzhu helped Professor Guan solve his urgent problem, it is only natural for him to get a few train tickets at the same time.

However, Professor Guan still felt that getting a few tickets was too easy. After all, He Yuzhu had helped so much, and he felt bad.

"Is there anything else? Just tell me everything. I will definitely do it for you if I can!" After all, he is the leader of the Central Song and Dance Troupe, a national treasure-level unit. It would be a waste of his talents to just get a few train tickets.

"Uh~" Seeing how eager he was, He Yuzhu was actually in a trance, thinking to himself, who is begging whom after all.

However, you should not miss the benefits that come to your door. Just because you don’t need it doesn’t mean others don’t. My courtyard is idle now. I thought the steel rolling mill would promote it for me after receiving the gift box, but several days have passed and there has been no movement. Could it be that they are dissatisfied?

If you are not satisfied, you should have said it earlier. You are making me waste my expectations here, He Yuzhu thought angrily. Old Hou is so useless. It was a waste of the two bottles of aphrodisiac wine I gave him.

"Actually, this is actually a small matter!" He Yuzhu became serious.

Judging from your expression, this is probably a big deal. Professor Guan suddenly regretted being too hasty.

"What do you think!"

He Yuzhu pretended to ponder for a few seconds. "It's like this. There are many students from poor families in our school. In order to take care of them, the school has set up a special assistance point. I am in charge of one of them. Usually, they find some odd jobs and they can get by. But since the beginning of winter, they have no work to do, and their lives have fallen into financial difficulties again. This year, the school decided to restore the winter vacation system. Many students chose to stay in school because they had no money to buy train tickets. I am worried about it. Professor Guan, if you have any way, please help them!"

"That's it~"

Professor Guan was in a heavy mood. He was also concerned about politics and knew what the country was facing at the moment. Since the country wanted to reform, the first step must be to reset the order, break the inherent way of thinking, and establish an effective management system and economic model. However, these things all required time to study and demonstrate, so it was not that everyone had no work to do, but that they didn't know what to do. They were all waiting, waiting for what? New instructions from above. The same was true for the song and dance troupe.

However, he was also born into a poor family and could empathize with the plight of these students, so he decided to help.

"That's no problem. Our group still has some odd jobs. You can bring them here tomorrow!"

He Yuzhu thought he could get some business like the steel mill, but Professor Guan stopped him and sent him to the group.

"Will I be able to make it in time tomorrow? Do I need any training or anything?" It's best not to let my classmates know about the performance, otherwise when they turn around and tell ten or ten or a hundred people about it, how will I live my life?

Professor Guan had no idea what he was thinking and laughed, "Haha, these are just small jobs, stage setting and the like, no need for training!"

It seems like there is no hope for business, and no extra income either. I feel so bad.

"Okay then, I'll take them there tomorrow!"

Now that the serious business is over, it’s time for Professor Guan to go back as there are still a lot of things waiting for him in the group.

At noon, He Yuzhu fulfilled his promise in the cafeteria and gave Xiangbei and the others a large plate of chicken legs. He felt that since he was so generous, he should not be stingy, otherwise how could he be the boss? Seeing the boss so generous, the younger brothers were of course grateful, so they ate this meal with tears in their eyes. It was so fragrant and delicious, woo~

In the afternoon, the school started to arrange the holidays. Actually, there was nothing to assign. There were only a few textbooks, let alone homework. We are all college students, why do we need to assign winter vacation homework? However, the teachers gave us a lot of instructions on daily life, such as paying attention to safety when going home, and not wandering around when returning home, etc. It was very considerate.

He Yuzhu also reported the part-time job in the song and dance troupe to the school. However, considering the pressure from Professor Guan, he suggested taking only the students from his own class first. If there is indeed a shortage of manpower, he can then recruit people from other classes.

Of course the school has no objection. Whoever has the business should be the one to get in touch with it first. The original intention of the school to set up assistance points is to call on students to be self-reliant. If they can't even do this, how can they cultivate everyone's enthusiasm? What's the point of talking about self-reliance? Wouldn't that be empty talk?

Finally, the Youth League Committee leaders asked He Yuzhu to be responsible for liaison and Teacher Ai Ya to be in charge of command, and thus a Spring Festival emergency work team was born.

……

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, China's traditional festival - Little New Year officially arrives. As the old saying goes, drink porridge on Laba Day and worship the Kitchen God on Little New Year. The so-called worship of the Kitchen God is to worship the Kitchen God. There are different opinions about the origin of the Kitchen God. Some people believe that it was Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Zhurong, and Song Wuji; some say it is the God of Life sent by the Jade Emperor to the world to investigate the people's sentiments; and some say that the Kitchen God is not actually a person but a couple. Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions.

He Yuzhu is more inclined to the third one because his third uncle once told him a short story. It was said that the Queen Mother brought a daughter to the human world to understand the people's sentiments. After arriving in the human world, the princess was very excited and found everything so new and interesting. So she begged the Queen Mother to let her stay in the human world for a while longer. The Queen Mother loved her daughter and agreed.

One day, the princess accidentally broke into the home of a poor young man who worked as a cook. The princess and the young man fell in love at first sight and soon got married. But after a while, the Jade Emperor still didn't see his daughter back, so he sent heavenly soldiers to the mortal world to look for her. When he heard that the princess had married a mortal, he was very angry and punished the princess to stay in the mortal world to experience all the bitterness of the world.

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she hurriedly pleaded for her daughter. The Jade Emperor couldn't bear to see his beloved daughter suffer so much, so he changed his words and said, "Isn't that kid busy making fire all day? Let them be the Kitchen God and the Kitchen Goddess in the human world, and see if she will repent!"

From then on, the young man and the princess became "Kitchen God" and "Kitchen Lady". Seeing that life on earth was difficult, Kitchen Lady often found excuses to go back to her parents' home and secretly bring back some things for the common people. The Jade Emperor was already very dissatisfied with his daughter's marriage, and he became even more annoyed when he knew this. In a fit of rage, he ordered his daughter and son-in-law to go to the Heavenly Palace only once a year, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month...

In fact, it doesn't matter whether worship is effective or not. The main thing is to seek good luck. Everyone has bad times, and seeking psychological comfort can be a kind of spiritual sustenance.

He Yuzhu thought of his unborn baby, so he also decided to pray for peace and happiness.

At dawn, he got up and ran to the kitchen to get a small bowl, then took a handful of frozen soil and crushed it into it, then inserted three incense sticks and placed a few cakes. Everything was ready, and just as he was about to kowtow, He Yuzhu discovered that there was no portrait of the Kitchen God. This was the reason~

It was definitely too late to buy it now, and he couldn't find it in the system mall, so he could only draw it himself. He quickly found paper and pen, and copied a picture of the immortal in his memory. This time it was really a ghost painting, and he finished it quickly with strokes up and down.

Without saying much, He Yuzhu immediately pasted it on, straightened his collar, and then kowtowed three times solemnly, muttering, "Heaven and earth, if the gods can't help, you are the most helpful. Please bless my family to be safe and sound, and bless my wife to have a smooth delivery. I don't ask for anything but good health for both men and women..."

Zhu Lin vaguely heard someone talking, and when she reached out to touch him, she found that He Yuzhu had gone somewhere. She put on her clothes and looked around, and saw that her husband was kneeling and kowtowing.

"Haha, who are you worshipping?" Zhu Lin was puzzled. The portrait was so sloppy and it didn't look like a god.

"I don't know either, just love whoever you want~" He Yuzhu is still single.

"Haha, I've never seen you like this before. You're already in college, but you still believe in this. You're really something!" Zhu Lin is a new-age woman, so she naturally scoffs at these feudal superstitions.

"Einstein once said that when scientists climbed a high mountain, they found that theologians were already sitting there. In other words, the end of science is actually theology, but they are just different paths to the same destination!"

"Did anyone say that?" Zhu Lin didn't believe it. "You didn't make it up!"

"Why would I lie to you? Really? If you don't believe me, just wait a few decades and see. By that time, everyone will have a magic mirror. Not only can they communicate with you across the air, but it can also take you home!" Didi Taxi is at your service, hehe!

"I think you've wasted your time studying. The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!"

After all, Zhu Lin is still a person of this era. Even if she has some advanced ideas, they are only limited to food, clothing, housing and transportation. She can't imagine how advanced the technology will be in a few decades. Driverless cars, brain-computer interfaces, virtual space, any of them are like gods now. If it is not theology, what is it?

He Yuzhu had no way to explain it. It was useless to say anything if technology couldn't keep up. If he talked too much, people would think he was mentally ill.

"No more talking, let's go eat!"

According to custom, people eat dumplings on the Little New Year. He Yuzhu brought the cooked dumplings to the table and turned around to set off firecrackers. There was no particular rule about this, it made no difference whether they were set off early or late.

He took out the firecrackers and hung them on the corner of the small kitchen. He lit them with a cigarette butt, and the fuse made a hissing sound, followed by a crackling sound. The sound of the cannons heralded the arrival of the new year.

Zhu Lin placed two plates of pickled vegetables on the table. "Eat quickly. When you're done, take some candy to your parents!"

He Yuzhu took a few bites, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "When did you make the dumplings? Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"

"You're busy all day and you're not home. When you come back, the daylilies are cold!" Zhu Lin knew that He Yuzhu had a big appetite, so she picked a few dumplings from her bowl and gave them to him. "This is Lingling mixing the dough and I mixing the stuffing. How is it? Is it okay?"

"Not only is it okay, it's almost catching up with me!"

"Haha, mutton can dispel coldness. Eat more if you're going out!" Zhu Lin dialed a few more for He Yuzhu.

My little wife is so caring~

"That's enough, that's enough, I can't eat any more!"

After the couple had breakfast, He Yuzhu cleaned up the dishes and went to Beiguan Courtyard to pick someone up. He had to report to the song and dance troupe today and couldn't be late.

The No. 18 bus goes directly to Beiguan. As it is out of the city, there are few people on the bus. It is a rare opportunity for He Yuzhu to get a seat. When he arrived at the courtyard, Teacher Aiya and the others were already waiting there.

"You guys are here so early, have you eaten yet?"

Twelve people squeezed into one room. Although it was crowded, it was very harmonious.

"We've all eaten!" It wasn't the first time Teacher Aiya came here, and she felt like she was at home. "He Yuzhu, I heard that your wife is about to give birth, but you didn't even tell us. You're such a secretive person!"

Who is so talkative?

"Who did you listen to?"

"Your cousin!"

"This girl is so quick to speak!" He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Since you all know it now, I have nothing to hide anymore. When the baby is one month old, come and show your support. There will be plenty of good food and wine!"

"We've been waiting for you to say that!"

"Haha~"

We chatted for a while and then prepared to leave, as business was the most important thing.

The Central Song and Dance Troupe is located inside Deshengmen, about five or six kilometers away from the courtyard, and the only way to get there is by bus.

The suburban bus came very slowly, and it was almost nine o'clock when it finally arrived. After He Yuzhu paid for the ticket, everyone lined up to get on the bus. It was obvious that it was organized. The conductor immediately became nervous, but despite being nervous, she still pretended to be calm on her face and just kept looking at He Yuzhu and his group with her eyes.

Fortunately, they had no danger along the way and got off at Andingmen. The conductor was very relieved.

Arriving at Andingmen was like arriving at He Yuzhu's territory. He kept introducing the scenery and buildings along the way to everyone, and he knew all kinds of historical stories like the back of his hand. The students were shocked by his erudition, and even Teacher Aiya admired him very much.

"Captain He, you might as well just become a tour guide. You know too much!"

"What's my problem?" He Yuzhu pointed ahead and laughed, "Look, there's a group of old men at the entrance of the alley. Any one of them can kill me!"

"Is this true?" The classmates found it hard to believe. Captain He even felt inferior to them. How arrogant were those old guys?
