Siheyuan: He Yuzhu is a man who dotes on his sister!

He Yuzhu said earnestly: "Sister, you can get married if you find a suitable partner."

He Yushui said with a smile: "Let's talk about it in two years. If I don't get married, I will still be your sister. Once I get married, I will have to be a mother. Can I still be like now?"

He Yuzhu threw the matches on the ground casually and said, "Yeah, let's talk about it in two years. Get in the car and go home."

It was a white sky in the early morning. He Yuzhu opened the door and saw snow on the ground outside. He picked up a shovel to clear a path, woke up the sleeping He Yushui, and got up to have breakfast.

"Here we come, brother."

After breakfast, the brother and sister went to work.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu first went to the second canteen, where Ma Hua was already practicing cooking in the back kitchen.

"Master, you are here."

He Yuzhu was very pleased and encouraged: "Not bad, you have such a hard-working heart, and your future is immeasurable!"

Ma Hua chuckled and said, "I still have a long way to go. I will work hard."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, He Yuzhu taught Ma Hua other ways of cutting and talked about some other cuisines, such as Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, especially Sichuan cuisine, one of which was boiled cabbage, which had a simple name but was extremely difficult to prepare.

Ma Hua had some difficulty hearing this: "Master, boiled cabbage means boiling the cabbage leaves with boiling water, right?"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "Boiling water a hundred times is a dish served at the state banquet. It sounds simple but difficult to do. If I have a chance in the future, I will show you how to boil cabbage in boiling water."

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, the kitchen staff gathered together, and He Yuzhu stood in front to give a lecture.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu felt that his life had reached its climax. In the past, the people in front of him were either the boss, the manager, or the head chef.

To achieve the goal, you still have to travel through time.

After the lecture, He Yuzhu returned to the office. As soon as he sat down, he heard the announcer, Yu Haitang, broadcasting the salary announcement.

At this time, Ma Hua came to He Yuzhu's office: "Master, the salary has been paid, are you there?" He opened the door and found that there was no one inside.

He Yuzhu arrived at the salary department first and was the first in line.

The comrade who was distributing salaries was a little surprised to see He Yuzhu was the first one in line.

"Director He, you have been the canteen director since this month. Your salary last month was 37.5 yuan. Please count."

He Yuzhu took the money and counted it carefully, not missing a cent.

"Thank you." He Yuzhu smiled happily, put the money into his pocket and left the queue.

When the salary is paid, some people are happy and some are sad.

He Yuzhu's salary is relatively high in the steel rolling mill, and is above average among chefs. Among all the chefs in the second canteen, He Yuzhu has the highest salary. The other three chefs earn in their early thirties, thirty-one or thirty-two per month. Ma Hua and several other apprentices earn twenty yuan a month.

Getting paid is a very happy thing, but when it was Qin Huairu's turn, she got 27.5 yuan a month, which was neither high nor low. The comrades behind her didn't understand why they only got 21 or 22 yuan, so why did she, Qin Huairu, get 27.5 yuan a month?

"I guess it's to replace her seniority. Otherwise, with her skills, ten bucks would be a lot."

Faced with the doubts, Qin Huairu did not take it seriously at all. She just wanted to get the salary, but then she thought again that the New Year was still more than ten days away, and when she returned home, she had to give Jia Zhang three dollars. When she thought of this, Qin Huairu felt that the salary was too hot.

Many people were very happy to receive their wages. Director Yang also asked Xu Damao to show a movie in the evening for the steel mill employees.

Xu Damao, who would not do anything without profit, could gain more benefits by showing movies in the countryside, and could expand his career by showing movies with leaders. However, showing movies for steel mill workers not only made him suffer from the cold, but also brought him no benefits at all.

Xu Damao had no choice but to agree, since he was Director Yang.

Not long after, Yu Haitang, as the announcer of the steel rolling mill, broadcast the news that there would be a movie in the evening. Many people were very happy because they could watch a movie for free. Although there were movie theaters in the 1960s, even in the 1970s, many people had never been to a movie theater.

For example, although we see airplanes flying in the sky all day long, how many people have actually experienced it?

At the gate of the courtyard, there was a woman with two ponytails and wearing a red floral cotton jacket. She was holding an old hen, as well as a lot of cabbages and potatoes. All together, they weighed about 40 to 50 kilograms. However, this woman did not feel tired at all.

She called out loudly: "Sister, sister, are you there?"

The shouting brought the three aunties in the front yard out. When they saw the woman, their first reaction was that she was very pretty, with a small and delicate face and bright eyes. She gave people a very reliable feeling.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" the third aunt asked.

"Qin Huairu, is Qin Huairu here?"

The woman is Qin Huairu's sister, Qin Jingru. She came to the city today because her uncle asked her to bring some food to Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu is at work, but her mother-in-law is at home." After saying this, the third aunt shouted towards the west wing of the central courtyard: "Sister-in-law, sister Huairu is here."

Jia Zhang, who was lying on the kang, felt a headache when she heard that the relatives were coming. In this era, if anyone had a road in the city, almost all the poor relatives in the countryside would come to ask for help. Even if they just had a meal and then went back, it would still be a considerable expense.

She didn't want to respond, but Qin Jingru had already carried her things and followed the third aunt to the central courtyard.

"Aunt!"

"coming."

Jia Zhang had no choice but to slowly get off the kang and open the door. She had a complaining look on her face, but when she saw a chicken, cabbage and potatoes in Qin Jingru's hands, her gloomy face suddenly turned into a smile.

"Hey, come on, what else do you need?" Jia Zhang quickly stepped forward and took the old hen with one hand.

Qin Jingru: “???”

"My uncle asked me to bring these here." Qin Jingru said tactfully.

"Oh, our in-laws are so nice. These things are all good things for us." Jia Zhang said nicely.

At noon, Jia Zhang went into the kitchen herself and prepared cold steamed buns and pickled vegetables with ice chips on them.

"Is the food in the city so bad? I can even eat stir-fried cabbage in the countryside!"

Qin Jingru frowned but did not express what she was thinking. She thought that life in the city was not as good as in the countryside. Why did Qin Huairu insist on marrying into the city?

She doesn't understand.

"Eat, Jingru, the pickles in the city are much more delicious than those in the countryside." Jia Zhang took a bite of steamed bun and a bite of pickles.

Qin Jingru was too embarrassed to look at it, and too embarrassed to say anything, so she had to lie: "I'm not hungry, you eat, you eat."

"Fuck it, relatives come to visit, and they only eat steamed corn bread and pickled vegetables, and even ice chips, who would eat it!"

In the afternoon, Qin Jingru didn't see Qin Huairu, and she couldn't leave. The money for going into the city was given to Qin Jingru by her father. If she couldn't see Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru couldn't go back and explain.
