Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Logistics has always been a top priority in wars from ancient times to the present.

In Sun Tzu's Art of War, it is said that "If an army has no baggage, it will perish; if it has no food, it will perish; if it has no reserves, it will perish."

Of course, you can also think of this problem as a math word problem for elementary school students, that is, for a pool that has water being released and replenished at the same time, when will it be full, and at what flow rate, how long will it take to be emptied.

But in fact, for this question, each condition is different and the result is also different.

The same is true for logistics.

A series of issues such as reserves, transportation, production, personnel, etc. can lead to different results.

Even weather, terrain, temperature, and humanities can be said to be necessary factors.

Speaking of which, these things can really give you a headache.

And now, if we go by the way it is portrayed in the anime, He Yuzhu's head has become three times bigger.

There is no way. He Yuzhu is now a lecturer in military logistics at the Logistics Department of the Military and Political University, and also serves as the deputy director of the Logistics Department.

The purpose of becoming deputy director was to match the level 13 that He Yuzhu had reached after completing his advanced studies at the military academy.

And the lecturer is a real lecturer.

At present, the military logistics in the Military University is not divided into many specific subjects like the National Defense University in later generations.

Today's military logistics is still a general subject.

As a result, He Yuzhu has a lot to teach.

But it’s 72 years now.

After going through that period in the past few years, how could there still be so many teaching materials?

Doesn't this require He Yuzhu to figure it out bit by bit based on the teaching materials that can be found now?

When He Yuzhu really started to prepare the topic, lesson plans, and lecture content, he realized why so many officers from the Logistics Academy and so many former quartermaster officers didn't go to him, but chose to go to He Yuzhu.

In other words, why are He Yuzhu's colleagues, who, like He Yuzhu, have stayed in school or have been transferred from other places, now able to become lecturers in the Logistics Department?

Some of these people have actually experienced war and can explain logistics based on actual combat.

Or, just like He Yuzhu, there is one or more people behind him who have experienced war and graduated from regular military academies studying logistics.

Just like He Yuzhu, behind him are Master Sun, Lao Chutou and Lao Wangtou, three brothers who are real "academicians" and graduated from the logistics department of the Northeast Military Academy, one of the four major military academies in modern times.

This also allows He Yuzhu to go and ask these three old men for advice when he encounters difficulties.

Before they knew it, in He Yuzhu's lecturer's office, although each lecturer had his own subjects to teach.

However, it brings together the logistical ideas of the four major military academies: "Baoding Army", "Whampoa Military Academy", "Yunnan Military Academy" and "Northeast Military Academy".

Then, combined with the recent "pragmatic" ideas, it took me three months to finally come up with a set of central ideas and complete the lesson plan before school started in September.

Just like that, in September, standing on the podium in the classroom, looking at the leaders below who were all wearing the same military uniforms but, in fact, would have made at least 9 cents ten years ago, He Yuzhu began his career as a lecturer.

To be honest, the lecturer doesn't really look tired.

Especially for university lecturers, if they are not counselors or teaching students, they should go to class if they have classes, and leave early if they don’t have classes.

What's more, the place where He Yuzhu is now is called a military academy.

With only more than 100 "students" enrolled in the "first batch" but 16 lecturers, plus physical training every day, He Yuzhu should have more free time.

But actually?

Tired, very tired, He Yuzhu was extremely tired.

The teaching materials need to be improved, the lesson plans need to be improved, and even the students need to be improved.

Yes, students also need to improve.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, the group of more than 9 people who came here for further studies in September were more like experimental subjects.

While testing the abilities of these students, it is also testing the abilities of the 16 lecturers including He Yuzhu, as well as the teaching materials and lesson plans they use.

In this case, whether it is the students or the lecturers, everyone is under a heavy burden.

In this way, the first semester passed unknowingly as students and lecturers competed with each other.

"Hey, Zhuzi, you're back."

As soon as I entered the door, Yan Laosan, who is now on the verge of retirement, came to greet me.

Well, that’s the good thing about Yan Bugui.

Never mind that He Yuzhu was initially rumored to have been demoted to a farm, or that everyone later realized the importance of the farm.

Or maybe He Yuzhu went back to "school" and now he has reached the required level and started to get a car.

Yan Bugui is always the first to "warmly" "welcome" He Yuzhu back to the hospital.

"Yes, Uncle Yan, it's time to get off work."

Although He Yuzhu greeted him, he kept walking towards the central courtyard.

However, this did not affect Yan Bugui, who was a bit idle, from speaking.

"Is it a holiday this time? How many days will your school be on holiday?"

"Uncle Yan, my school doesn't have long holidays like yours. Here, I haven't had my holidays yet. I can only have them during the Little New Year."

After all, the Yan family has never had any conflicts with He Yuzhu's family over the years. When they ask questions, He Yuzhu has to respond.

It should be said that chatting with Yan Bugui in the compound is actually the most comfortable thing.

He can always support you in other ways.

Look, this is Yan Bugui now.

"That's not the case. My school is just an elementary school. It's nothing. It just has longer holidays. It can't be compared with your school. I don't know what kind of school yours is, but since you have a car, the price can't be lower. In our school, even the principal doesn't have the right to have a car."

It's just that Yan Bugui said this to He Yuzhu because he had other requests.

"By the way, Zhuzi, what did I ask you about half a year ago? Is there still no news yet?"

In the first half of the year, somehow the news that He Yuzhu had started working as a "university teacher" was known to people in the courtyard.

Look, this is the annoying part about living in a slum.

If something happens in someone's home, even if the man snores or farts in the middle of the night, it will spread like wildfire the next day.

Fortunately, the only thing people in the courtyard knew was that He Yuzhu became a university teacher.

Or, if you go deeper, you will know that He Yuzhu became a teacher in a military academy.

They don’t know which school it is or what it teaches.

This also made He Yuzhu breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, although, internally, the information in He Yuzhu's school is not a secret.

But for ordinary people, He Yuzhu's school still needs to keep it confidential.

In particular, the military logistics taught by He Yuzhu needs to be kept confidential.

how to say?

He Yuzhu's school and the major he teaches are almost considered secret in later generations.

We’ve gone off topic, let’s get back to the topic.

It is said that after Yan Bugui learned that He Yuzhu had become a university teacher, he came to find him.

He hopes He Yuzhu can recommend his daughter Yan Jiedi to go to college.

Recommending to go to university was actually a policy issued from above at the end of the 70s.

In other words, from the 70s to the present, admission to university is no longer based on examinations, but rather on recommendations.

However, He Yuzhu rejected it using a policy that was also issued from above.

That means He Yuzhu's school is closed and not recruiting students.

Yes, at this time, not all universities can recruit the recommended "workers, peasants and soldiers", and some schools are even closed.

This also left Yan Bugui speechless at the time.

However, Yan Bugui has been thinking about this matter since then.

However, Yan Bugui is not annoying.

I can only ask this once in more than a month.

Of course.

Yan Bugui’s family was not the only one who came to He Yuzhu for help.

The two families in the Intermediate Court who had a similar experience as one another came out together.

I want to ask for a spot for Bangteng who is still in the countryside.

Even the deaf old lady was persuaded by Yi Zhonghai and came to Shi Xiaona to ask for a spot for Banggeng.

As for Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard, Liu Haizhong didn't care. He just mentioned it when he met He Yuzhu. The meaning behind his words was very polite, "Zhuzi, your uncle Liu won't bother you. If it's convenient, I'll help you. If it's not convenient, forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

As for Liu Guangtian, who came to me privately, it was different.

The person who used to be so arrogant all the time was his leader and he was so-and-so's right-hand man.

But when he saw He Yuzhu driving back, he shut up immediately.

He even hid from He Yuzhu for a while.

These are all people living in the Siheyuan.

There are more people in the alley.

This annoyed He Yuzhu.

If it weren't for the three old men of Master Sun who stayed on the farm and refused to return to the military supply compound, and if Wang Fengmin's railway compound was not peaceful either, He Yuzhu would have moved there long ago.

Even if the military university's family compound was built outside the North Fifth Ring Road, in Hongshankou, He Yuzhu would definitely move there no matter how far it was.

At worst, I can just drive Shi Xiaona back to work every morning. That's better than having someone come to my house all day long.

Fortunately, this trend is only temporary.

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, gradually no one came to bother him anymore.

The only ones left were Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard of the courtyard, and the Yi and Jia families, who lived in the middle yard.

After rejecting Yan Bugui with the same old excuse and chatting with him about some random things, He Yuzhu crossed the hall and returned to the central courtyard.

Fortunately, today Jia Zhang was not waiting for him in the corridor, knitting insoles.

Qin Huairu was not waiting for him by the sink, washing clothes.

But sometimes, I just can’t help but grumble about it.

Just as He Yuzhu was unlocking the door and preparing to enter the house, Jia Zhang's unique noise came from behind him.

"Zhu Zi, it's time to get off work."

As neighbors with whom they had never had any quarrels in recent years, whether it was because He Yuzhu had become successful or because Jia Dongxu had not left, it was only natural for He Yuzhu to agree.

"Hey, auntie, it's time to get off work."

In fact, He Yuzhu was prepared to be asked by Jia Zhang about school places.

But what was unexpected was that Jia Zhang didn't even ask any questions and started pulling directly.

"Come on, Zhuzi, don't cook tonight. Come to my house with your family and have a meal together to liven things up."

? ? ? ?

When a question mark appears for He Yuzhu, it is not He Yuzhu's problem, but Jia Zhang's problem.

Fortunately, while pulling He Yuzhu towards the west wing of her house, Jia Zhang explained to He Yuzhu.

"Just in time, Bang Geng will be back soon. His father and Lao Yi have gone to the train station to pick him up."

As he spoke, he didn't even have the chance to interrupt He Yuzhu and continued chattering on his own.

"You don't know, Zhuzi, how I have been looking forward to my grandson these years. Finally, he is here. I don't know how Banggeng has been doing in the countryside these years, and whether he is hungry. Since he went to the countryside, every time he wrote back, he said that he was doing well. But as a grandmother, I came from the countryside, how could I not know what the countryside is like? Banggeng only reports good news and not bad news. I am happy that Banggeng has grown up, but as a grandmother, I feel bad."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything about Jia Zhang's repetitive chatter.

Instead, he just listened quietly.

After all, an old lady hasn't seen her eldest grandson for several years. This time he is finally back, and it is normal for her to be a little excited and want to find someone to talk to.

After a while, Jia Zhang's "excitement" wore off and she wiped away her tears embarrassedly.

"Look at my aunt, she's always nagging as she gets older."

"No way, isn't Auntie just happy because Banggeng is back? That's normal."

He Yuzhu would not spoil anyone's fun at this time. After all, it was just a compliment and it didn't cost any money.

However, the meal is definitely not edible.

"Aunt, I won't get involved in your family reunion dinner tonight. I've already made an appointment with Xiaona to take my daughter back to her mother's house. We'll do that next time. Anyway, Banggeng is back this time, and there's still a lot of time to live, right?"

"It's really settled, aren't you lying to your aunt?"

Jia Zhang looked confused.

"Zhu Zi, this time I'm not just asking you to do something. This time, I'm asking everyone in the compound. Liu Haizhong from the backyard will also come over soon, just to liven things up before Bang Geng goes to the factory."

Now, He Yuzhu understood completely.

It turned out that Yi Zhonghai retired and gave the quota to Banggeng, which allowed Banggeng to return early.

The Jia family's meal later was a way of saying hello to their neighbors in Siheyuan who worked in the factory, asking them to take care of Banggeng in the factory.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether He Yuzhu eats it or not.

However, He Yuzhu did not lie and he had really made an agreement with Shi Xiaona that he would take her and her daughter back to the railway compound to visit Shi Xiaona's mother.

Or perhaps Shi Xiaona missed her second son He Wu and wanted to go see him.

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"Really? I'm not lying to you, auntie. I just came back to change clothes and then go pick up Xiaona and her mother."

"Okay then, there'll be a chance next time."
