He Yuzhu woke up just as the eastern sky was getting slightly bright. It was the same daily routine: go to the toilet, come back to wash up, and prepare breakfast. While making breakfast, he was wondering if he could think of a way to make some food with a lighter taste, otherwise eating good food every day would be too eye-catching.

"The host can have the space ready and just order the dishes ready to eat," System Xiaobei suddenly said.

"Is it possible?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

"Aren't there robots in space? They can help you do anything you want," the system replied.

"That's great. This way I can eat whatever I want. If I don't want to cook in the future, I can just let the space do it," He Yuzhu said happily.

"Xiaobei, aren't you asleep?" He Yuzhu suddenly asked.

"I suddenly woke up to remind you, now I'm leaving," and then he disappeared.

He Yuzhu suddenly looked at the noodles in his hand and suddenly didn't want to cook anymore. He silently told himself to prepare breakfast for him. Two trays of buns and two bowls of beef noodles. After a while, he felt the space reminding him that they were ready. He Yuzhu took them out and saw that they were piping hot. He quickly put them away and told Yushui to eat. He would let the system prepare them later. The taste would be much less when they were ready.

After breakfast, the brother and sister left the courtyard separately. He Yuzhu came to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill and saw that everyone was busy, so he went to find Director Qian.

"I want to take two hours off and come back before lunch," He Yuzhu said to Director Qian as he pushed open his office door.

"What are you going to do with your leave?" Director Qian suddenly asked curiously.

"I got a bicycle ticket yesterday. It's too tiring to walk to work, so I went to buy a bicycle," said He Yuzhu.

"Oh, you are quite capable. You can get bicycle tickets. You won't trade them on the black market, right?" Director Qian asked indifferently.

He Yuzhu quickly gave an excuse, "How could that be possible, boss? This was when I was cooking two days ago. Seeing my good cooking skills, the host gave me a ticket without paying me."

"When you said you had good skills, it reminded me that I asked you to take the exam that day. Did you take it?" Director Qian suddenly asked again.

"We won't be able to do anything when we get there. I passed the exam on Saturday. Level six chef is the highest level in the factory. My boss won't give me a raise, so what's the point of a higher level?" said He Yuzhu.

"As long as you pass the exam, I will definitely report you next time the factory promotes worker levels. You can buy a bicycle and come back before lunch." Director Qian agreed to He Yuzhu's request for leave.

When He Yuzhu heard his leader's agreement, he immediately went back to the cafeteria and told Ma Hua to keep an eye on the cafeteria. He went out for a while, came back after a while, and left.

Half an hour after leaving the steel mill, He Yuzhu went to a state-owned store and said to the salesperson, "Give me a 28-inch bicycle." A bicycle was a big item in that era, and maybe he could pass it on to his son.

"What brand do you want? Permanent ones sell best," the salesperson said with a smile.

It is said that the service attitude of salesmen in this era is bad, but those who can buy a bicycle are capable, just like buying a Lamborghini in the future market. Who can look down on such a person?

"I want a Fei Ge bicycle," said He Yuzhu, because his family once had a Fei Ge bicycle and he rode it when he was a child.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the total is 160 yuan," the salesperson agreed and pushed a Fei Ge bicycle from the back.

He handed the bicycle ticket and money to the salesperson, and after checking the source of the goods and making sure there was no problem with the bill, he let He Yuzhu take over the bicycle. After checking that there was no problem with the bicycle, He Yuzhu took the receipt and the certificate from the state-owned store to the police station to get a license and have it stamped. Only then did the bicycle truly belong to him.

On the way back to the steel mill, He Yuzhu received a lot of envious glances. He felt full of strength. It turns out that it feels so good to be envied by others.

Back at the steel mill, Xiao Liu from the security department at the gate saw He Yuzhu riding a new bicycle and said, "Zhuzi, you bought a new bicycle. Now it's time to talk about your wife."

"Thank you for your good wishes," he stopped his bicycle and took out a cigarette for Xiao Liu.

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle into the steel rolling mill, returned to the kitchen and asked Ma Hua if anything had happened, and asked everyone to prepare lunch and wait for the workers to come and get their meals. In this era, as long as people can have enough to eat and get paid, they will feel happy. After working all afternoon, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard.

The third uncle was still arranging the flowers and plants at the door, and taking the opportunity to see what everyone had bought to take home, to see if he could get some bargains.

When he saw He Yuzhu's bicycle, his eyes widened, "Zhuzi bought a new bicycle, shouldn't you treat him to a couple of drinks to celebrate?"

"I have no money left to buy my bicycle, so let's go to your house today, Uncle San. How about I give you a bottle of wine?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Then there's no need for that. The food at Third Uncle's house is not enough," Yan Fugui waved his hands quickly when he saw that he didn't get the upper hand.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the courtyard. Everyone had gotten off work by then. When they saw his new bicycle, those who were on good terms with him came over to congratulate him.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong looked at He Yuzhu's bicycle with eyes full of envy, and muttered, "I, the leader, don't even have a bicycle, but he bought one. It's outrageous. Where did he get the bicycle ticket?" After that, he shook his big head and left.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu stood in the crowd without saying a word and went back to their rooms.

Only the old lady from the Jia family cursed in a low voice, thinking that He Yuzhu was so heartless for not donating to them even though he had money to buy a bicycle.

At this time, Yu Shui came back and saw the newly bought bicycle, and asked, "Brother, where did you get the ticket? Does our family have any money? We will be left with nothing if you buy a bicycle, right?"

"The tickets are earned by me, so don't worry. I have plenty of ways to make money. Work hard and get into high school and I'll buy you one."

"It will be much more convenient to go to work if you buy a bicycle. Tomorrow, I will take you to school so that others will envy you. How about that?"

"Really, brother, that's great," he said while shaking He Yuzhu's elbow.

He Yushui was outside, studying the newly bought bicycle. He went back to the kitchen, asked the system to cook a few dishes, and brought a bottle of good wine, ready to celebrate.

There was a knock on the door. I turned around and opened it. It was Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. I quickly let them in and said, "How do you two have time to come to my place?"

"We heard that you bought a bicycle, so we two came to celebrate for you. How can you not welcome you?" Xu Damao still looked that mean.

"I have prepared a few dishes, let's eat together," he said, and called Yu Shui who was in the yard to invite the third uncle over.

As soon as he heard that He Yuzhu was inviting him to dinner, the third uncle came quickly, holding his bottle of white wine filled with water.

"Zhu Zi, I say you should celebrate. Uncle San has a bottle of wine, just consider it as a celebration for you."

"Uncle, you should keep the bottle of watered-down wine for yourself. Today, drink my wine and Xu Damao's."

"Well, since the Third Master's wine is not good enough, I'll just drink the wine from you two."

When Yan Fugui heard this, he immediately took advantage of the situation and put away his wine to drink later.

After three glasses of wine, Xu Damao was staggering and started to brag, "Zhu Zi, I'm a projectionist now. I make a lot of money every month, and I've married a beautiful wife. You have to hurry up, or you'll be completely outdone by my buddies. I can't beat you, but I'm better than you in other ways."

He Yuzhu watched Xu Damao bragging, but he also really admired him. In this era, he could go out and have fun without getting into any trouble. The only thing was that he was infertile. Poor Lou Xiao'e. He always blamed Lou Xiao'e for not being able to have children. He wondered if he knew that it was his own problem.

I have to find an opportunity to remind both of them in the future. I hope they can handle this matter well and not make it like in a TV drama, where they become enemies.

Uncle, today He Yuzhu made me drink a lot of wine and said a lot of things that I don't usually hear.

"Zhu Zi, why do I find that you have become smarter recently?"

"There are a lot of things going on in our yard."

"I want to manage it but I can't, so I just take advantage of the situation and take it as it may."

"I know everyone looks down on me, saying I'm stingy, but if I'm not stingy these days, how can I survive?"

"But I was just calculating how much I could eat and drink. I have never done anything that goes against my conscience."

"Da Mao and you have a very good relationship now, it seems that the conflict has been resolved",

"Your parents are not in this courtyard. If you don't stick together, others will take advantage of you. I will not admit my words once they are said outside," he stood up and was about to go home. When He Yuzhu saw this, he hurriedly asked Lou Xiao'e and Yu Shui to take care of Xu Damao at his home. He cleaned up the leftovers on the table, packed them all and took them back to send the third uncle home.

He came back after a while and asked Yu Shui to make a cup of tea for Xu Damao, preparing to chat with Xu Damao. Yu Shui quickly got up, poured a cup of tea for He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, and then started eating melon seeds with Lou Xiao'e.
