Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Even He Yuzhu, who has experienced the era of information explosion influenced by short videos and the Internet and has a relatively open mind, would never have thought of it.

He, He Yuzhu, is a man with two stars on his shoulders three years later.

His wife, Shi Xiaona, was one of the first batch of graduate students. Now, she is an associate professor in a future 211 or 985 university directly under the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport.

His eldest son, the squadron leader of a certain armed police brigade, had a mere 2.1 cents in his life three years, no, four years later.

The eldest daughter-in-law, attending physician at 301.

The second son and his wife are both researchers at the Tielaoda Design Institute.

Moreover, my mother-in-law is a third-level "gatekeeper" professor who was among the first batch of retired railway soldiers who were rehired by universities.

Even at home, there is one, no, there are three, who will become retired cadres with stars on their shoulders in three years.

Not to mention the two in-laws.

They are also future stars or ministerial level officials.

What's more, his younger sister is the director who holds real power on Tiejian's side.

And her brother-in-law is a deputy director-level official who holds real power in Tiefa.

However, He Daqing, an elder in such a family, actually approached He Yuzhu and asked:

"Zhu Zi, what do you think about me opening a restaurant?"

? ? ? ? ? ?

Do you know the shadow area of ​​He Yuzhu's psychology?

However, He Yuzhu still managed to ask patiently.

"No, Dad, what are you thinking about? Why do you want to open a restaurant?"

Because He Yuzhu was afraid.

He Yuzhu was worried that he had recently bought several courtyards. In addition, a while ago, when He Daqing bought a courtyard next to the house allocated by Xiao Hewen's unit in Daxing, He Daqing took the joke he made to him seriously, which put pressure on He Daqing. He was worried that He Daqing wanted to make money.

To put it bluntly.

Given He Yuzhu's current position, even if He Daqing doesn't know anything and is too old to do anything.

But, just spread the word and want to make money.

Not much to say.

Do you believe that there are a lot of companies that can come and beat He Daqing to a pulp?

10 or 20 a year, I’ll give it to you with my eyes closed.

It’s because He Daqing has a son with two stars and a daughter who is a director-level official in the railway industry.

Fortunately, He Daqing was not as old and confused as He Yuzhu thought.

"I saw Lao Qu when I passed by Dong'anmen Street."

"Who, Lao Qu?"

He Yuzhu thought about it, but still couldn't remember who was called "Old Qu" by He Daqing.

"Who is Lao Qu?"

"You have seen Old Qu, the one you call Master Shi. He was originally the chef of Dongxinglou, and later became the chef of Cuihualou."

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu remembered.

"Oh, oh, he is the one who was arrested when you were deciding the composition, right? Um, go on, what happened when you saw Lao Qu?"

"Nothing happened. I just saw Lao Qu and chatted with him. He said that Cuihualou and Dongxinglou have reopened and are in need of a chef. He asked me if I wanted to be his apprentice."

He Daqing nodded, lit a cigarette, and then continued to explain.

"Originally, I thought that since you guys are all doing well, I would not be able to pass on my craft. But after hearing what Old Qu said, I felt it would be a pity if this craft was lost, so I thought about opening a small restaurant, taking in two decent apprentices, and passing on this craft."

"Oh oh oh, that's it."

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu understood.

"You were actually moved by what Master Qu said and wanted to take on an apprentice. You were also afraid that you would get into trouble if you went to Master Qu's place, so you thought of opening a small restaurant of your own, right?"

"Ah."

Although He Daqing is just a simple word.

But He Yuzhu felt relieved.

So, He Yuzhu leaned back on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"My old man, it seems that you are really not used to the situation at your son's and daughter's homes."

He Daqing was stunned by what He Yuzhu said.

"Huh? What do you say?"

"Nothing much."

He Yuzhu shook his head.

"Now, let me say something arrogant. As long as you don't offend the few that are in the list, you can offend the rest. In other words, even if you go to Master Qu's place, or any other restaurant, as long as either your daughter or I go there, they will have to offer you a board. As for opening a restaurant."

Speaking of this, He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly.

"If it was before last year, there would still be some explanation. But starting this year, there was a directive from above. Although it didn't explicitly say that elders can't do business, it only said that spouses and children can't do business. But, forget it."

"Well, okay, I see."

He Daqing still knows what's important and what's not.

I just nodded lazily.

He Yuzhu saw that He Daqing was a little negative, and he didn't want He Daqing to do nothing every day except looking forward to the birth of his great-grandson.

Start coming up with ideas.

"Dad, how about I find someone to send you to a vocational school for chefs to be a teacher? You don't have to sit in the office every day, just like Master Liu, who won the first place in the first chef technical competition two years ago, and teach students occasionally. If you find someone you like, teach him more. If you don't like him, just teach him some home cooking. If you meet a really good seedling, it's not too late to take him in as an apprentice."

"Don't go."

This time He Daqing refused firmly.

"Is that a place for training chefs? The dishes trained there all taste the same. All we can call them is... call them..."

For a moment, He Daqing couldn't come up with a suitable adjective.

But He Yuzhu knows this so-called "cook" very well.

Haven’t you seen that many chefs in later generations claim to be professional chefs who graduated from some professional school?

But the dishes cooked are so delicious that it’s hard to describe.

To put it in the words of the interviewer, this is a "cooking robot" that comes out of the "assembly line".

"Yeah, then we won't go."

For a moment, He Yuzhu didn't know how to arrange for He Daqing who wanted to leave retirement.

"Forget it. It's none of your business."

He Daqing looked at the embarrassed He Yuzhu and shook his head.

"Let's talk about it after my great-great-grandson is born."

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that this was the case.

"That's fine, we'll talk about it later."

Maybe, right now He Daqing is simply annoyed by Xu Damao's nagging and has nothing to do.

What if He Wen's child is born and He Daqing has something to do, he will no longer think so.

Anyway, it’s only a little over a month, so it’s quick.

Yes, in more than a month, He Yuzhu will become a grandfather.

Because when Chu Taotao found out she was pregnant, it was already more than four months.

Now, it’s September, and there’s only more than a month left.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The whole family, not to mention the three old men including Master Sun, even He Daqing, Wang Fengmin, and the idle older generation of the Chu family, all looked like they were staying in a hospital.

Chu Taotao has been waiting for the due date every day.

Of course.

Master Sun, Old Wang, Old Qian, He Daqing, and the men from the Chu family all had the discretion to stay outside the ward and did not go in.

The inner room was left to Wang Fengmin, Chu Taotao's mother, her grandmother, as well as her great-grandmother, aunt, and uncle.

It’s not that the child of He Wen and Chu Taotao is so important.

It can’t be said that it’s not important.

Instead, now, learn about family planning.

This child is most likely the only child of He Wen and Chu Taotao.

Regarding this, He Yuzhu did not complain like the older generation, but secretly instilled some "little tricks" to He Wen and Chu Taotao.

The main reason is that He Yuzhu, a person from later generations, has become accustomed to having one ju in each family.

He Yuzhu really doesn't care whether Xiao He Wen and Chu Taotao have one or more children.

“Wow wow wow…”

With the crying of the baby in the delivery room.

He Yuzhu's grandson was born.

"Old He, please give this great grandfather a name."

Although, the whole family had already started discussing the name of the child a long time ago.

However, when the child was really born.

The older generation tacitly left the right of naming to He Daqing, who had not even named his own grandson.

He Daqing was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"According to the generational system, this child should be of the Chen generation. So let's just call him Chen Guang. I hope he can be the sun at 7 or 8 o'clock in the future."

"He Chenguang? That's a good name."

"Yeah, the sun at 7 or 8 o'clock is really nice."

"The sun rises, its path is bright. The river flows out of the underground stream, rushing into the ocean. The dormant dragon soars into the abyss, its scales and claws flying. The young tiger roars in the valley, and all the beasts are frightened. The eagle tests its wings, and the wind and dust flutter. The exotic flower is born, shining brightly. Good, good."

The others nearby all thought that "He Chenguang" was a good name.

Only He Yuzhu couldn't utter a word.

Moreover, his face looked strange.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn’t want to talk.

Mainly because of the name "He Chenguang", which is a bit too...

Question: Xiao He Wen... No, you can’t call him Xiao He Wen anymore.

We have to call him He Wen, after all, we have a child.

Question: What job does He Wen, He Chenguang’s father, do now?

If you don't count the military branch, then he is the squadron leader of a special forces brigade, right?

So, what is He Chenguang’s grandfather’s job now?

He can also be said to be a two-star chief of a certain military region.

Well, isn't that right?

Xiao*Wu*Wolf Warrior*Baby Face*Jing, stop pretending, I know it’s you.

He Yuzhu swore secretly in the corridor of the hospital's delivery room, facing the ceiling light.

From now on, they will definitely add one more rule to the He family’s family motto, and it must be put first.

That is, you cannot have any contact with anyone with the surname Fan.

Even if you say a word to someone named Fan, you will be punished according to the family rules!!!

(Thanks to the book friend "Hanhou Xiaonaofu" for providing the idea.)

Let's say whatever.

He Yuzhu's eldest grandson was born and his name was decided.

This matter is over.

Adults like He Yuzhu who have jobs should go back to work.

People like Master Sun, Wang Fengmin, and the older generation of the Chu family, who are either retired or in office, have also found their "backbone".

Day after day, he began to revolve around Chu Taotao and Xiao Chenguang.

Even He Daqing, who had originally been considering whether to come out of retirement, simply gave up the idea.

I just stare at the little moments and smile foolishly all day long.

Before I knew it, my baby was one month old.

Do it, and do it on a big scale.

Whether it is Master Sun and his three brothers, or those people from the Chu family.

Even the older generation, including He Daqing, unanimously decided to hold a grand banquet.

Not only that.

He Daqing, the 71-year-old great-grandfather, and Master Sun, the 85-year-old great-master, one for red dishes and one for white dishes, ignored the advice of the whole family and cooked and organized the banquet themselves.

Of course.

The two old guys were just being polite.

Most of the dishes are prepared by the chefs in the kitchen.

However, this also caused He Yuzhu a lot of trouble.

Because he had to comfort little He Wu.

After all, the eldest brother's engagement, marriage, and now the baby's one-month-old birthday have all been celebrated with great fanfare.

As for the second son, He Wu, none of them had a big celebration. They just had two families sitting together in a small circle and having a meal.

As parents, we must treat our children equally.

Even if it’s not directed at Xiao He Wu.

It's also because of Guo Yao, the second daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, the second son Xiao Hewu and the second daughter-in-law Guo Yao are not pretentious people.

Before He Yuzhu could say anything, the couple started to persuade He Yuzhu without caring about it.

Very pleased.

He Yuzhu was very pleased.

However, no matter how relieved we are, we still have to do things.

He Yuzhu simply took advantage of today's popularity and, after all the guests had left, called together his two sons, two daughters-in-law, and Xiao Wushuang to hold a "closed-door family meeting."

The content of the meeting was simple.

He Yuzhu told several people about the existing family property.

He even told several people the value of the things in the small box that He Yuzhu had treasured for many years.

Finally, just one sentence.

One day, all of He Yuzhu's things will be given to each of the three families, without any bias or favoritism.

As for the eldest brother's special measures and the second brother's low-key attitude, He Yuzhu did not mention it.

He couldn't bring up this matter.

Now, He Yuzhu just needs to show impartiality and treat people fairly.

And there is no need for He Yuzhu to mention this matter.

The eldest son’s wife, Chu Taotao, is also a smart person.

I know what father-in-law He Yuzhu means.

Holding the sister-in-law's hand, whispering in a low voice.

After a while, the two were chatting animatedly.

Even Xiao Wushuang joined in.

The smiles between the aunt and the sister-in-law are so bright.

He Yuzhu and his two sons were all stunned when they saw it.

In this way, in He Yuzhu's view, a "breakup" incident that might have occurred in the future was resolved in advance.

He Yuzhu can now return to school and work with peace of mind.

The end of April.

The superiors formally determined the composition of the school's leadership team.

Now, He Yuzhu has legitimately become the dean of the school's Logistics College and also holds the position of vice president.

And more than half a month later, it was the 24th of the year.

This is the "imported festival" in later generations, which falls on the daytime of Christmas Eve.

He Yuzhu's school has finally put the plan into practice.

It's no longer just verbal.

Nothing more.

Even now it has been put on paper, and the school's preparatory work has been almost completed.

But, we still have to continue preparing...
