Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

As we all know, “old people leading new people” is our inherent tradition, allowing experienced “old people” to help “new people” quickly get into the role and play a role of “passing on knowledge, helping others and guiding others”.

The same is true for He Yuzhu now.

Even though He Yuzhu returned to school, he resumed his daily administrative work and teaching tasks.

However, He Yuzhu was also given another task by the dean.

That's the "lecture".

Yes, a lecture.

Let He Yuzhu tell the "new generation" in school what happened on the front line, combined with theory.

It can be called a "warning" or a "reminder".

Similarly, it can also be said to be "passing on experience."

Let's say whatever.

He Yuzhu said this and insisted on having a semester without a break every week.

Of course.

The lecture was not only given by He Yuzhu himself.

Like He Yuzhu, the other three who first went to the rear in 79 and then went to the front last year were also "speakers".

Occasionally, we would invite veterans from 69 and 62, or 50 to 53, or even earlier, to come back and talk together.

In short, one sentence.

I just want to let the "new generation" understand the cruelty of "war".

How did we evolve from "tactical penetration" to the current "firepower coverage"?

In a blink of an eye, it’s already September.

The students in the college have started their final exams and are preparing for the holidays.

He Yuzhu's "lecture career" has come to an end.

Finally, I can go to work every day and slack off in the office openly.

Don’t you see that the dream of those people in later generations who work hard to pass the imperial examinations, besides the wish to “guarantee a stable income”, is also due to the fact that they can slack off openly.

"Dang, Dang Dang"

While He Yuzhu was still immersed in the joy of "slacking off", there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

He Yuzhu straightened his appearance, sat upright at his desk, and "looked" at the documents.

"Chief."

The person who knocked on the door was He Yuzhu's waiter in the college.

No, now you have to call the secretary.

Externally, Director of the Office of the General Logistics Department Academy.

"Song, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

After all, I started following He Yuzhu when I was with Jun Zheng, and it has been almost 10 years.

What does He Yuzhu usually do in the office? His secretary, Xiao Song, knows it exactly.

It’s okay, I won’t knock on the door at all.

"Commander, the guard called and said that a General Chu Tianxing from the General Logistics Department wants to see you. What do you think?"

Xiao Song doesn't dare to say a word.

God knows that although these two people cannot be considered childhood friends, they have a real "father's generation, father's generation, son's generation" friendship.

Moreover, they are the intended "in-laws".

To put it bluntly, even if these two people fight, it is just an internal matter within their family.

It has nothing to do with this "outsider" of his.

"Oh? Chu Zi is here?"

He Yuzhu was stunned.

Then he nodded casually.

"Then let the guard room in."

"Okay, Chief."

Xiao Song nodded and agreed, then went out.

But deep down, I was complaining.

"Look, we are a family, but we are so casual. If we are not a family, who can do this?"

Not long after, Xiao Song brought Chu Zi in.

When Xiao Song poured the tea and closed the door and went out, He Yuzhu leaned back in his chair casually, crossed his legs, and threw a cigarette to Chu Zi.

"What's the matter, nephew? Why do you have time to come and see your uncle today?"

"Get lost, okay? Get as far away from me as possible."

It was still a familiar formula. When the two met, they first played a "ethical joke" before starting to get down to business.

But He Yuzhu is not serious.

He changed direction and started teasing Chu Zi.

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious? Did my son bully your daughter? Don't worry, I'll tell him when I get home tonight. Then, I'll send out invitations and hold the engagement party tomorrow."

"Lao He, please let me raise my daughter for a few more years, okay? My daughter is not even 19 yet, there's no rush, no rush."

With that, Chuuji rolled his eyes and started to fight back.

"Do you think everyone is like Xiaona, who rushed to get married as soon as she turned 18, leaving no chance for others. Aren't they afraid of marrying the wrong person and regretting it for the rest of their lives?"

"Cut~~~"

He Yuzhu spread his hands indifferently.

"That only shows that Xiaona has good vision and is steady, accurate and ruthless. When she meets a good man, she settles down right away."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu tried to persuade Chu Zi with good intentions.

"Chu Zi, don't blame me for not reminding you. Good guys like my eldest brother are very popular. If someone else snatches him away, you won't be able to cry."

that's it.

During the first half hour, He Yuzhu and Chu Zi didn't say a word about business, but just talked about this and that for a long time about Xiao He Wen and Chu Taotao.

In the end, it was only for the sake of his "little cotton-padded jacket" Chu Zi that he had to swallow his anger and the matter was finally over.

"Okay, Lao He, let's get down to business."

"Well, you said."

When he heard that the business was about to begin, He Yuzhu stopped talking nonsense.

He even walked to the sofa and sat opposite Chu Zi.

"Old He, did you know that last month the higher-ups decided to reorganize the armed police force?"

He Yuzhu felt a pain in his teeth when he heard the question from Chu Zi.

"How could I not know? Since the decision was made on the 19th of last month, my students have been poached by the armed police. Whether they are regular four-year students, short-term students or those studying for further studies, there are people poaching them, and there is no way to stop it. Sigh~~~~"

He Yuzhu sighed and suddenly his brain went blank.

He looked at Chu Zi with some disbelief.

"Chu Zi, don't tell me that you came here to poach people too?"

"Uh~~~~~I guess so."

Chu Zi, whose act of "playing the victim" was exposed before he could even start, nodded awkwardly, then shook his head.

"No, Chu Zi, explain to me clearly what you mean by count, right?"

He Yuzhu was really angry now.

That was the logistical talent that he and his generals and divisions had cultivated bit by bit.

These all have their original units.

Originally, those who had already been poached were enough to give He Yuzhu a headache about how to deal with the original units.

Now, Chu Zi is doing this again?

You know, if He Yuzhu was poached by an outsider, the worst that could happen to him when facing the people in his original unit is that he would turn against them. . .

Bah, you're turning your back on me.

Directly put the blame on the dean, "You go find the dean, it was the dean who approved it."

Or they put the blame on the party that poached the people, saying, "Go find them, they poached them."

But, it was Chu Zi who poached him, so how can He Yuzhu shirk the blame?

After all, they are the in-laws that have been arranged.

Is it a bit bad to pass on the blame?

Huh?

It seems like he is trying to pass the buck, but it’s nothing, after all, they are just in-laws.

At worst, my son will have to suffer a little in the future.

As the saying goes, "the son bears the blame for the father's mistakes."

While He Yuzhu was still figuring out how to pass the buck and minimize the humiliation for little He Wen, Chu Zi spoke.

"Lao He, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say first."

Listening to Chu Zi's "nonsense literature", He Yuzhu's eyes almost flew up to the sky.

"Director Chu Tianxing, come here and let me listen attentively."

Chu Zi also rolled his eyes.

However, after rolling his eyes, he felt shy? Coy? Embarrassed? Awkward?

That's about it, that's it.

"Uh... Lao He, actually, the one I want is Xiao Wen."

"Who?"

Now, He Yuzhu was confused.

He Yuzhu thought that Chu Zi came here this time because he wanted to be the first or second in their department.

Or maybe, that person's only grandson.

However, He Yuzhu was just dreaming and could not have imagined that the person Chu Zi came for this time was actually little He Wen.

What virtue and ability did little He Wen have that could make his future father-in-law make a special trip just to ask his father for someone?

On the other side, Chu Zi saw that He Yuzhu stopped talking, so he continued talking.

"Old He, to be honest, I hope little He Wen can come with me. You know, starting from February this year, after the documents were sent from above, my grandfather has completely retired. And my uncle and his family will also retire in a few years. Now, only my father and my aunt can hold on for a few more years. As for me, my current position... Alas~~~"

As he spoke, Chu Zi also sighed.

He Yuzhu fully understood Chu Zi's anxiety.

In February of this year, the above happened.

For cadres at the ministerial level and above, the retirement age can be delayed until 65.

The rest are all 60 cards.

Chu Zi is 7 years younger than He Yuzhu and is 40 years old this year.

Then you think about it. Even if Chu Zi's father, the man He Yuzhu calls Brother Chu, got married early and had Chu Zi early, how many years do they have now?

Moreover, Chu Zi's current position was a bit awkward.

He does have real power, but being an office director is the highest he can get.

Just like when He Yuzhu just came back this year, at most he would be promoted to a minor position when he is about to retire, which would be considered as retirement.

Besides, let’s not talk about the present, let’s talk about the future.

Although they were all shouting that they wanted to lie down and not roll up anymore.

However, once lying down, how many people can stay there and not move?

That must be He Yuzhu.

I started as a small nobody and gradually made my way to where I am now.

Everyone knows that his ancestors' graves are filled with sorrow.

Only He Yuzhu, who is content with what he has, can lie down seriously and start to slack off.

And what about Chu Zi?

I am only 40 this year, which is the prime of my life.

So he wants to go a step further. Is there anything wrong with that?

As the old saying goes, moving people lives, moving trees dies.

Then, it is even more reasonable that he has been "relocated" to the armed police, right?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu threw a cigarette to Chu Zi, then lit it himself and took a puff.

He exhaled a long puff of smoke and nodded.

"That's right. Anyway, there's still hope after being transferred there, so we can really give it a try. Anyway, the worst that can happen is that we'll just stay where we are after being transferred there."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu looked at Chu Zi.

"But I don't understand. What does this have to do with you letting Xiao Hewen go?"

"Well....."

Seeing that his attempts to play the victim had no effect at all, Chu Zi felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

But, after all, he is from the logistics field, and we are so familiar with each other, so we can be relatives in the future.

Chu Zi's embarrassment flashed away.

What follows is seriousness.

"Lao He, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to say next, and don't tell anyone else."

"Cut~~~~"

He Yuzhu looked disdainful at Chu Zi's words.

I'm not bragging.

He Yuzhu himself is now at the "confidential" level in the third-class confidentiality level.

Generally speaking, if there are major events in history with names and surnames, He Yuzhu is qualified to know about them.

After all, what He Yuzhu is currently researching is "military" and "logistics."

On the other side, Chu Zi looked at He Yuzhu's expression and also remembered He Yuzhu's level.

Then, he smiled awkwardly and began to explain.

"Lao He, do you still remember the Olympics ten years ago?"

"I don't remember. What happened? Is there something wrong?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and shook his head.

Ten years ago, I didn’t know you, you didn’t belong to...

Sorry, I got off track.

Ten years ago, that is, in 72.

At that time, He Yuzhu had just been "transferred out" from the farm to attend Junzheng University, and then was retained as a lecturer at the newly reorganized Junzheng University.

I don’t have time to watch the Olympics.

Besides, at that time, even if you wanted to watch it, there was nowhere to watch it.

Seeing He Yuzhu shaking his head, Chu Zi took a puff of cigarette and continued:

"Ten years ago, a major accident occurred during the Munich Olympics. Since then, countries have successively formed special teams to deal with emergencies. And now, the top leaders have decided to form such a team as well."

"Can you please get to the point? Who wants to listen to this? It's like no one can look it up themselves."

Facing He Yuzhu's rolling eyes, Chu Zi sped up the process.

"I will be transferred to this team in a while and serve as the third in command and the chief of logistics."

"Wow, this team is of a high level. It's amazing that a Level 12 officer like you can be the logistics chief."

He Yuzhu first sighed, and then asked a soul-searching question.

"What does that have to do with transferring He Wen there?"

Chu Zi rolled his eyes at He Yuzhui and ignored He Yuzhui's question. He continued talking to himself, and at the same time, he was also answering He Yuzhui's question.

"According to the instructions, this team needs to be small but elite. This requires each team member to be versatile. People like He Wen, who are academically educated and have a background in logistics, and are also outstanding in skills, are particularly important."

When he said this, Chu Zi's eyes lit up.

"Honestly, Lao He, I promise that I will not treat Xiao Wen unfairly in the future. This position of mine is prepared for Xiao He Wen. Let Xiao Wen come with me."

Now, He Yuzhu is really worried.

He Yuzhu believed that Chu Zi was telling the truth and would not treat little He Wen unfairly.

After all, that is the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.

But He Yuzhu was really worried.

Anyone from later generations who came to listen would be able to understand what that team was saying.

Special warfare, special forces, they are all the same.

As we all know, once the word "special" is added, it means "always prepared".

Well, how could He Yuzhu, as a father, not be worried for a moment?
