Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

How does Director Hou know that I know the big boss?

He Yuzhu was very surprised. Could it be that he was also the leader's man? It didn't look like that. I heard that he was sent directly from the Ministry of Metallurgy. I understand. The leader has been reinstated and seems to be the head of the Ministry of Metallurgy. That's not surprising.

"It doesn't really matter. I can cook. The big boss didn't have a good appetite back then, so Director Yang recommended me to go there. I went there more often and got familiar with it. Director, could it be that the big boss wants me to cook there again?"

This is not a secret. Everyone in the factory knows it. There is nothing to hide.

Director Hou saw that He Yuzhu's eyes were clear and he didn't seem to be lying. He immediately smiled and said, "You guessed it right. So, you prepare yourself and go over there at noon. Then you don't have to come to work in the afternoon!"

"No salary deduction?" He Yuzhu asked carefully.

Seeing his expression, Director Hou laughed and said, "No!"

"That's fine, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go back and prepare!"

Director Hou smiled and let He Yuzhu go. After closing the door, he said to himself, "Is this guy's cooking really that delicious? I must try it some other day!"

Then he returned to his work.

"The birds in the trees are in pairs..."

He Yuzhu hummed a little tune and returned to the kitchen. Everyone immediately surrounded him and asked,

"Director, what instructions does the new factory manager have?"

"Director, are you allowed to return to your post?"

"..."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask around, everyone go back to work, dinner will be served soon!"

He kept Zhao Mingliang and told him, "I'm going to be on a mission at noon, so I'll leave the kitchen to you. Don't be careless!"

"Director, you're still not at ease with me!" Old Zhao laughed shamelessly.

I'm afraid you'll get carried away!

It turned out that after He Yuzhu's proposal, Zhao Mingliang had officially become the monitor of the second class of the second canteen, and it was the time when he was full of energy. But this person also had a shortcoming, which was that he was good at smoothing things over.

But now the environment has changed, and we can no longer muddle through like before and follow rules and regulations in everything. That is why He Yuzhu deliberately reminded him not to lose the big picture for the small.

……

Like the military compounds, the ministerial compounds are all located in Xicheng District. But it is worth mentioning that because there are too many new compounds built after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people call it the "New Kyoto". Along West Chang'an Avenue, starting from Gongzhufen, through Yuquan Road all the way to Xishan, you will see the Air Force Command, Navy Command, Communications Command, General Logistics Department, General Staff Headquarters, Artillery Command, Armored Command, Engineering Command (now the Infrastructure Engineering Corps), Railway Command, etc.

These compounds are heavily guarded. Within the high walls, there are canteens, auditoriums, swimming pools, service centers, hospitals, clinics, kindergartens, and even primary and secondary schools. It is different from the life in the old Kyoto in the former Soviet Union. There are modern buildings everywhere and the cultural differences are very obvious. No wonder people call this place the "New Kyoto."

He Yuzhu has been to the ministry compound several times. It is very large and it takes at least an hour to go back and forth. Fortunately, he now has a means of transportation, otherwise he would be exhausted just relying on his two legs.

There were guards at the door, and after they confirmed, they let He Yuzhu in. The leader's house was on a half-slope, and he had to go around twice. Because it was uphill, He Yuzhu simply pushed his bicycle. There was no other way, he couldn't ride it.

After walking into the yard and ringing the bell twice, a secretary immediately came out of the room. The secretary was the same secretary, surnamed Zhao. They were all acquaintances, so He Yuzhu was no stranger and greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, Secretary Zhao, you are so energetic!"

Secretary Zhao smiled and said, "Master He, you are here. The leaders are waiting anxiously!"

"Really? What's the menu today? If it's not too much trouble, give me half an hour. I'll make sure the leader can have a hot meal!"

"It's very simple. The boss just wants to eat the noodles you make!"

"Eat noodles?" He Yuzhu was stunned: "You're still thinking about this!"

It turned out that during those years, the big boss was neglected and had no appetite every day. Finally, he called He Yuzhu over to help. When he arrived and saw what was going on, he said, "It's not that difficult. It's just a matter of a bowl of noodles."

Sure enough, when the leader saw a bowl of hot shredded pork noodles, his appetite was instantly aroused. He ate it with Laba garlic and exclaimed that it was so delicious.

So from that day on, things got out of control. Whenever the boss was upset, he would definitely ask He Yuzhu to come over and make shredded pork noodles. He couldn't sleep well without eating it.

"Who said it wasn't!" Secretary Zhao said with a sad face, "Let's not waste time here, let's go make noodles!"

"Okay!"

Most people would think it is just shredded pork noodles, which sounds so mysterious. Well, it is really different. There are some particular requirements below. First of all, it must be hand-rolled noodles, with some paste on the surface, but not too much, otherwise it will become a mushy noodle.

Then comes the cooking of soup, which is He Yuzhu’s specialty and no one else can learn it. The old lady also liked it!

Finally, add two drops of sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a bowl of fragrant shredded pork noodles is ready. Secretary Zhao came in to take it away. Before he even reached the living room, he heard the big boss say,

"Hmm - that's the smell. The boy is finally here!"

"Leader, please eat noodles!"

The big boss was very satisfied with the shredded pork noodles. He said to Secretary Zhao, "Go call Sha Zhu over. This guy didn't even say hello to me when he came!"

"it is good!"

After a while, He Yuzhu came.

"Hello, leader!"

When the big boss saw him, he immediately said with a stern face: "What's wrong with you?"

Well, the leader is testing us.

He Yuzhu blurted out without thinking: "The whole country is one sky! Are you still not happy?"

The big boss burst into laughter: "Okay, you have improved now. My teaching you has not been in vain!"

He Yuzhu has never cared about Zhengzhi, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand. Besides, now that his soul has been changed, he has to prescribe the right medicine!

"How's your work lately?" the big boss asked while eating noodles.

"Hey, that's it!"

The big boss looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Are you still hiding it from me? I heard that your canteen director was fired?"

The leader cares about us a lot!

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "It's because I don't like to work. You know me, I'm too lazy. There are too many things to do in the cafeteria, and I really can't handle it!" He kept shaking his head as if this was really the case.

"That won't do. You give up easily and act like a child. I taught you that there is only division of labor in revolutionary work, not high or low. So you should not only do it, but also do it well, so that those who look down on you can see that even a fool like me can make progress!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said, "You are right to criticize me. I will definitely work hard to improve and will never embarrass you!"

"That's right!"

Look, the position of director is back! He Yuzhu was secretly proud!

"Don't leave in a hurry, play chess with me. It's a good day off today, let's play a few games!"

"Okay, I won't let you go!"

The big boss immediately glared and said, "Oh, you are so arrogant now! Xiao Zhao, put the chess pieces on the table! I must poke your arrogance today!"

He Yuzhu said mischievously: "Just walk!"

"Humph!"

……

Qin Huairu took a sick leave today, but she was pretending because she ran into He Yushui when she got off work yesterday. The two of them chatted enthusiastically as soon as they met, and then Qin Huairu told her about what had happened in the courtyard recently. He Yushui heard that the house had been renovated and insisted on coming over to take a look.

So Qin Huairu waited at home, looking forward to it like the stars and the moon, and finally He Yushui came. As soon as she came in, Qin Huairu started to complain.

"Yushui, your brother doesn't want me anymore! Woo~"

"Sister Qin, don't cry first. Why are you crying?" He Yushui quickly advised.

Qin Huairu cried and shook her head, as if she had something to hide, which made He Yushui anxious.

"Did my brother change his mind? That's impossible!"

Qin Huairu still shook her head~

"Why is that, Sister Qin? Tell me honestly, did you have a fight with my brother?"

Qin Huairu then cried and complained: "We did have a few words, but he can't leave me, wu~"

"Why are you quarreling?" He Yushui wanted to know the reason.

"Why else? Bang Geng insisted on showing the movie with Xu Damao. What could I do? I tried to persuade him but he wouldn't listen. So your brother didn't want to do it anymore. He even scolded me in front of so many people. It was so ugly. Ugh~"

Qin Huairu became more and more excited as the performance went on, and she lay on the table with her head in her hands and cried bitterly.

But He Yushui smiled easily and said, "I didn't think it was a big deal, Sister Qin, don't worry, wait for my brother to come back, I will persuade him, he has the nerve to compete with a child!"

Qin Huairu was waiting for these words. She immediately put on a pitiful look and said with tears in her eyes, "Yushui, you are still good to me. To be honest, I am afraid of losing your brother now. When he said he didn't want me anymore, I wanted to die!"

"Don't worry, Sister Qin, my brother can't get along without you!" He Yushui comforted her, "You don't have to worry about him finding someone outside. With my brother's bad temper, which woman would like him? Think about Yu Haitang. I tried so hard to match them up, but in the end, she would rather marry a divorced woman than my brother!"

Qin Huairu was still worried and cried again: "A few days ago, your brother contacted Teacher Ran again. My heart felt like it was cut by a knife!"

He Yushui was surprised and said, "No way, I heard that Teacher Ran is already married, how could he still be entangled with my brother? Sister Qin, most likely you misunderstood. I know my brother, he would never do such a thing!"

"Anyway, I'm just worried. Just think about how difficult it is for your brother and I to get to where we are today!"

"Sister Qin, my brother is too stubborn. He always treated you as his sister. I am the same. There is a hurdle in my heart, so you have to give him some time. When he comes to his senses, he will naturally come back to you!" He Yushui was worried about Jia Zhang. With her around, Qin Huairu could not expect to get married peacefully.

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly: "I know, isn't it just those old principles? If I insist, my mother-in-law can't do anything to me! The person I care about most now is you. As long as you don't object, I dare to be with your brother. Besides, my mother-in-law has thought it through. She agrees that I can be with your brother. Now the most important thing is your brother. You said that you got angry because of such a small matter. How can you live in the future!"

He Yushui was relieved now. She smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll talk to my brother later. You're an adult, but you're still acting like a child!"

"Yushui, you are so nice~" Qin Huairu was suddenly overjoyed, and her face immediately turned cloudy.

……

In the front yard, Yi Zhonghai came to the door of the third uncle's house with his hands behind his back, looking at the two earthquake shelters he had built, his face was very unhappy.

"I say, Third Uncle, it's okay that Zhuzi is ignorant, but can't you and Second Uncle set a good example? You are also fooling around. If everyone in this compound builds it like you do, will it still look like a courtyard house?!"

Old Yi, you are not a boss anymore, why are you still bullying me?

"Every failure makes you wiser!" The third uncle was not frightened by Yi Zhonghai and joked, "What do you think we will do if there is another earthquake?"

"You've been to Tangshan, so you should know that a magnitude 8 earthquake is the same as your level. It's so scary. That's why I built this earthquake shelter. I thought that if there is another earthquake in the future, we won't be afraid. We have it ready!"

Yi Zhonghai felt sick when Tangshan was mentioned. Third brother, you did this on purpose!

"Can it be the same?"

"What's the difference? Old Yi, don't say anything. If Second Uncle and Sha Zhu want to dismantle it, I'll do the same! What do you think?"

"not so good!"

Yi Zhonghai has already looked for He Yuzhu, but he is as slippery as a loach. He leaves early in the morning and comes back late at night, and he is nowhere to be seen!

This is targeting the third uncle, because he is the youngest!

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "I told him that when he gets going, he's not as strong as you!"

The third uncle rolled his eyes and said, "You only know how to pick on the weak, you really are~"

It’s bullshit. If you keep doing this, you will suffer sooner or later.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the Third Master again, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, He Yuzhu finished playing chess with the leader and went home directly. As soon as he opened the door, He Yushui suddenly jumped out from behind him.

"How did you come?"

"You don't come to see me, and you don't allow me to go back to my parents' home!" He Yushui said dissatisfiedly.

He Yuzhu had indeed forgotten about her. To be honest, he had hardly any impression of this girl Shazhu over the years. She seldom came back since she got married. Her sudden appearance at this moment was really surprising.

Looking at this cheap girl, He Yuzhu could roughly guess the purpose of her visit. Maybe it was Qin Huairu's doing again, because according to the normal plot, this girl's role would be after the 80s.

Sure enough, Qin Huairu was peeking over here. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Come in first!"
