Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Don’t be fooled by the fact that He Yushui is crying and acting like a weak and fragile “little girl”.

But, I know He Yushui.

No, it has to be said that everyone who knows He Yushui would give her a thumbs up and call her a "heroine".

How could such a big sister, who has "bad ideas", be easily "persuaded to quit" by Master Sun?

Look, He Yushui is now hugging Master Sun and acting like a spoiled child, not even mentioning the matter of changing majors.

However, maybe He Yushui was really tired from studying in these few months.

After a while, He Yushui, feeling relaxed, fell asleep in Master Sun's arms like a kitten.

"Come on, turn around slowly, it's oily~~~~"

He Yuzhu didn't know all this.

He was busy cooking in the kitchen just now.

Now, the dishes were ready, and He Yuzhu, who was a chef, shouted out reflexively before serving the dishes.

Then, Master Sun stared at him with his eyes wide open.

He Yuzhu realized that something was wrong and just turned around, wanting to go back to the kitchen to hide from this "death stare" that was even more "daughter-slave" than a "daughter-slave".

"Brother, can we eat now?"

To He Yuzhu, the nasal sound of He Yushui just waking up was even louder than the sound of a gong in his ear.

Sure enough, as He Yushui stood up, Master Sun snorted in dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, Master Sun is too busy to deal with He Yuzhu now.

Master Sun touched He Yushui's little head and spoke softly.

"Xiaoyu, are you awake? If not, sleep a little longer. When you wake up, let your brother do it for you again."

Well, He Yuzhu had so much grievances that he didn’t know how to vent them, and could only tremble on the side.

Fortunately, He Yushui is now in his thirties and is no longer a child.

"No need to sleep, sir, let's eat~~~"

After saying that, He Yushui helped Master Sun up and walked to the table.

It’s still the same, the family eats and drinks together, but the children come first.

After the children left the table to play, the adults began to clink glasses, talk and laugh.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard that the higher-ups seem to be planning to resume sending students abroad. Does your school have any?"

I don’t know how, but Master Sun suddenly remembered this and turned to ask Wang Fengmin.

“Yeah, it really is.”

Wang Fengmin nodded.

"I also heard the president say this yesterday during the meeting. He said that in September this year, graduate students will be officially enrolled, and then an open selection exam will be held to determine the number of government-sponsored students."

As he spoke, Wang Fengmin looked at He Yuzhu.

"I was planning to ask Zhuzi's opinion later, but now is the perfect time to ask. Zhuzi, I want Xiaona to take the government-sponsored overseas student exam. If she passes, do you agree to let her study abroad?"

"I....."

On this side, He Yuzhu hasn't said anything yet, but on the other side, Shi Xiaona quit.

"I'm not going, no matter what anyone says."

As she spoke, Shi Xiaona smiled and spread out her hands.

"Besides, I've heard that this exam requires a foreign language test. But the only foreign language I know is Korean. Even if it's Korean, are there any places where you can study abroad like in Korea? Aren't there only places like Dengta, Lao Maozi, and Xiao Japs?"

This time, Shi Xiaona's words directly suppressed what He Yuzhu wanted to say.

He Yuzhu now has a completely surprised expression.

"No, wait, are you still speaking Xian language?"

"Yes, I told you, I learned it from my grandma, she is from the Xian ethnic group."

Shi Xiaona also looked shocked.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"Tell me what did you tell me?"

He Yuzhu felt a little confused.

"When you were pregnant with my first child, you told me that your grandmother and our grandmother were from the Xian tribe, and then the second half of your sentence was that you wanted to eat some Xian tribe side dishes. My goodness, that was a real hassle for me. It took me a lot of effort. I finally learned how to make it by begging and pleading. And then you said it wasn't tasty and I didn't want to eat it."

It should be said but not said. Sometimes, "bringing up old things" is not only done by women, but also by men.

But if a woman brings up old issues, it’s not just talk.

"Okay, He Yuzhu, what's the matter? The food you cooked is not delicious, but you don't want others to say anything about it? You..."

"That's enough. What are you doing?"

It is the mother-in-law who is on the side of her son-in-law.

Seeing her daughter was about to start, Wang Fengmin quickly stepped forward to "stop her."

Moreover, not only Wang Fengmin came out, but also Master Sun came out.

He slapped He Yuzhu directly on the back.

"You are already an adult, but you are still quarreling with your wife. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Having said that, Master Sun changed the subject.

"Sister-in-law, the opportunity for government-sponsored students I'm talking about is not the time you said you would take the exam, but now. I heard from my old comrade that the higher-ups have decided to send about 450 young students to study abroad, but the personnel have not yet been decided."

As he spoke, Master Sun looked at Shi Xiaona.

"Xiao Na, don't worry about that idiot Zhuzi. Just tell me whether you want to go or not. If you want to go, I'll retire in more than a month anyway, so I can find someone to do the job for you."

"Hey, you stupid idiot."

Shi Xiaona was not angry at all. She was just bickering with He Yuzhu out of habit over the years. After hearing Master Sun say "Silly Zhuzi", she subconsciously laughed at He Yuzhu.

Then he reacted and shook his head embarrassedly at Master Sun.

"Uncle, I'm already this old, and I have kids at home, so I won't go."

Although he was ridiculed, He Yuzhu just rolled his eyes, then lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Go ahead, Xiaona, this is a rare opportunity. I'm at home, so it's okay."

He Yuzhu knew that in the 80s, having a background of studying abroad was a very "deep" qualification.

This is so important for Shi Xiaona who is preparing to take the "school route".

Originally, He Yuzhu thought that this was a rare opportunity, and now that Wang Fengmin knew that her daughter could go out without taking an exam, she would definitely agree.

However, Wang Fengmin, like Shi Xiaona, shook her head and refused.

"Brother Sun, don't bother. Since Xiaona doesn't want to go, then don't go."

As she spoke, Wang Fengmin patted Shi Xiaona on the shoulder.

"Xiao Na, if you want to go in the future, you have to take the exam yourself."

In fact, Wang Fengmin thought very clearly.

Even though Master Sun still has a month until his retirement, he is not afraid of owing favors to others.

However, as Master Sun's only disciple, or in other words, as Master Sun's only heir, his son-in-law He Yuzhu will always have to pay him back in the future.

Since it has to be repaid, then "studying abroad" is not that important compared to the favor of "grabbing a spot out of 450 people".

Although Master Sun didn't know what was going on with Wang Fengmin.

However, the experienced Master Sun could still see the determination of Wang Fengmin and Shi Xiaona, so he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, since Xiaona has decided not to go for now, then let's not go. Later, when Xiaona wants to go out, we can think of a way."

"No, Xiaona, you..."

To be honest, He Yuzhu here still wants to persuade Shi Xiaona a few more words.

After all, opportunities are really rare.

However, Shi Xiaona did not give He Yuzhu any chance and interrupted him directly.

"Uncle, I wanted to ask you just now. Are you sure? You'll retire in a month?"

"Well, it's confirmed. After get off work on April 4th, I can go home. I've been tired all my life, this time, I can finally have a good rest~~~"

It can be seen that although Master Sun said it very casually.

However, the "reluctance" in the tone is still easy to detect.

Come to think of it, I think this is quite normal.

Although Master Sun is 78 years old this year.

However, Master Sun has been a soldier since he was 14 years old.

Fight the Russians, fight the bandits, fight the Japanese, fight whoever.

After working for decades, I finally settled down and then I plunged into construction without stopping.

After finally reaching the age of 60, almost 70, he took advantage of a "plot" to quiet down for nearly a decade, and then, in order to have a smooth transition, he had to come out again.

This continued for more than three years.

To tell the truth.

It was because Master Sun met He Yuzhu and accepted him as his apprentice, and he also "adopted" He Yushui, that Master Sun was able to live happily these years, and now he can let go.

Otherwise, let me put it bluntly...

Forget it, everyone has thought of the specific situation, so I won’t go into details.

And now, everyone at the table who was originally silent became even more silent after hearing Master Sun's next words.

"By the way, Old Wang, didn't you say you were going to retire? When are you going to retire?"

Now, He Yuzhu became anxious.

"No, Uncle Wang, you want to withdraw too?"

You know, although Old Wang usually does not do any work in the college, like a mascot, he always smiles and watches the students doing exercises on the playground, enjoying the youthful vigor.

I just stay in the office, listen to Semiconductor, drink tea, read the newspaper, and cultivate my body and mind.

However, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure, and this is no joke.

As the most senior and qualified person in the academy, and an old comrade-in-arms who has been superior and subordinate to the dean for decades, it can be said that He Yuzhu and his colleagues in the academy cannot be said to have the final say, but they have to be able to walk all over the academy.

But now, if Old Wang retreats, He Yuzhu will be the one to take the lead.

Even though He Yuzhu is Old Wang's "nephew", people from other departments won't do anything to him.

However, secret competition is indispensable.

If this is the case, does it seem that He Yuzhu is particularly heartless, or particularly utilitarian?

But in fact, a big part of the reason why He Yuzhu didn't want Old Wang to retire was that he didn't want Old Wang to be idle.

In other words, He Yuzhu didn't want Old Wang and Master Sun to retire and go home together.

To be honest, He Yuzhu was a little worried because Master Sun was about to retire.

I am afraid that these elderly people, especially those like Master Sun and Old Wang who have "worked" all their lives, will age particularly quickly after they retire and have nothing to do.

But Master Sun had no choice but to retreat.

I’m already 78 and I really can’t do it anymore.

In fact, according to He Yuzhu's idea, in the next few years, the three old men should retire one year and gradually adapt.

Well, you retire this year, and then take care of the children, go out for a walk with old comrades, etc. After you have adapted for a year, you can retire next year.

Now, at least there is someone who can help you adapt to retirement life faster.

It also allows for someone to provide guidance in daily life.

But this is what happened.

Two of them retreated at once.

Facing He Yuzhu's anxiety, Old Wang smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then spoke slowly.

"Yeah, I've talked to the old chief, and after this semester is over, I'll quit and push the pillar up."

After saying that, Old Wang threw a cigarette to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, you've done a good job in the past few months. Just keep it up."

"Uncle Wang, I..."

He Yuzhu wanted to say something to save the situation.

On the other side, Old Qian, who had not spoken for a long time, took a sip of wine and interrupted He Yuzhu's words with a sigh.

"Ah~~~~ Seeing that both of you have withdrawn, I want to withdraw too."

Now, before He Yuzhu and the others could say anything, Master Sun and Old Wang quit.

"No, you are still young, you can still work for a few more years."

"That's right. You haven't been transferred to a sinecure yet, and you haven't been promoted yet. Are you willing to accept that? I heard that your rating will be restored soon. Maybe Old Sun and I, who have suppressed you for a lifetime, will have to salute and call you "chief" when we see you in the future."

Master Sun and Old Wang's words almost made Old Qian, who was about to take another sip, vomit.

"You two have bad intentions. Aren't you just afraid that I will snatch your granddaughter away? And you're talking about promotion. Do I care? Everyone has nothing on their shoulders now. Who knows who is the leader? If you ask me, I think I will have to get it back sooner or later."

"Hiss~~~~"

Others might not know, but how could He Yuzhu not know?

That’s right. It’s been ten years. It’s time to get the things on my shoulders back.

However, Lao Qiantou believed that He Yuzhu had other opinions.

He put down the wine glass and glanced at He Yuzhu.

"I say, why are you hissing, kid? What's wrong?"

"Haha, haha, Uncle Qian, don't talk about state affairs at the dinner table, don't talk about state affairs."

He Yuzhu is a coward.

"That's right, you're an adult now, are you trying to show off your abilities by bullying a child?"

It should be said that although He Yuzhu is the tacit successor of Master Sun, Lao Wang and Lao Qian.

However, Master Sun, as the master, is naturally the one who is most partial to his apprentice.

Of course, this is without He Yushui, Shi Xiaona, little He Wen, little He Wu, little He Wushuang, and the two children from He Yushui's family.

Old Wang was also unwilling to fall behind.

"That's right, old Qiantou, what's wrong? You get drunk after drinking a little. You were like this when you were young, but you still act like this when you're old. Tell me, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Hmph~~~"

Obviously realizing that what he said was inappropriate, Old Qiantou just snorted.

Then he took a sip of the wine, put his arms around Master Sun and Old Wang's necks, and brought the two of them over.

Whispering quietly in the two people's ears.

"What do you think? While Xiaona and Xiaoyu are still young, why don't we let them each get another child? Then the three of us will each have one, and no one will be short of anything."

???????

He Yuzhu, who heard it clearly at the side, was already full of question marks.
