Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

As the "big footprints" above the capital slowly "walked" towards the Bird's Nest.

"You and I, heart to heart, live together in the global village."

Teacher Liu Huan's unique voice and Sala's beautiful voice, "You and Me" also sounded in the Bird's Nest.

No.

This moment cannot be said to have only sounded in the Bird's Nest.

It is no exaggeration to say that our voices can be heard throughout the capital, the country, and even the world.

Especially when the national flag slowly rises.

It is really hard to express the pride I feel as a Chinese.

Especially the old couple He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona in front of the TV.

As "witnesses" who have watched the country develop step by step to where it is today, He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona's eyes are already filled with tears.

Maybe, older people have short eyes and can’t stand these things.

More likely, it is because of their deep love for this land.

Gradually, one year or two passed after the 29th Beijing Olympic Games.

He Yuzhu didn't know when he suddenly realized that the capital city was a bit like the capital city in his later life.

Housing prices are expensive, labor costs are expensive, everything is expensive.

Moreover, every day, there is a huge flow of people coming and going.

Everyone comes and goes in a rush, and seems to be in a hurry.

This also made He Yuzhu, who used to treat standing in front of the courtyard door of Nanluoguxiang as a pastime, start to lose interest.

He Yuzhu, who had nothing to do, slapped his thigh.

Okay, let’s go back to our old ways and open a snack bar.

Of course.

This snack bar definitely cannot be opened like He Yuzhu did in his previous life, where he had to get up early and go to bed late every day just to make a living.

This snack bar seems more like a way for He Yuzhu to kill time, and, how should I put it, it may be opened by He Yuzhu to pass on his skills.

Yes.

Maybe because of his age, He Yuzhu started to have some thoughts.

I want to pass on my cooking skills.

However, He Yuzhu also knew.

With his current status, it is impossible for him to teach even for the sake of his children, not for himself.

Therefore, He Yuzhu simply used his status to second a group of cooks from the General Logistics Department, the school, and the garrison in the name of "further study".

Ok.

Anyway, there are a lot of cooks, even if we change a batch every month, it will be endless.

that's it.

Next to the China World Trade Center, a snack bar called "Workers' Lunch" opened for business.

This snack bar is weird.

When most lunch boxes cost more than ten yuan, his restaurant only charges eight yuan, and it guarantees that you are full.

Moreover, this snack bar does not have a business license and there is no one to supervise it.

Even gas, water, electricity and other utilities were not collected by anyone.

The old couple who own the store are also quite strange.

Don't touch the money at all.

The money is collected in a box placed at the door of the store that can only be entered but not taken out.

It's also written on the box.

Boxes will be donated directly to “the children” each month.

At the beginning, white-collar workers who worked nearby would discuss this store.

Some say that these two are doing this to show off and attract attention.

Some also say that it is a donation on the surface, but in fact it is to take advantage of people’s sympathy to make more money.

But later, we spent more time together.

The sound gradually faded away.

Maybe this was also related to the fact that a few military vehicles would come over from time to time, and a few people from Venus would get off the vehicles and be scolded by the shop owner.

And so it went on for several years.

Gradually, the white-collar workers who had been working and eating here discovered this.

The two smiling old ladies who own the shop rarely come here.

They were replaced by their eldest son and daughter-in-law.

Sometimes, you might also run into the second son and daughter-in-law or daughter and son-in-law of the shop owner’s grandfather and grandmother who come over to sit with you.

However, the price has not changed.

Even though a bowl of ramen outside can cost dozens of dollars, his restaurant still only costs 8 yuan and is enough to fill you up.

Even the fact that there is no business license and no one collects gas, water, and electricity bills has not changed.

Moreover, in order to ensure that these white-collar workers can have a full meal at noon, a sign “Meals for workers only” was written at the entrance of the store.

but.

This situation did not last long.

This "working people's lunch box" restaurant, which has been open for ten years, has gone bankrupt.

This made the workers nearby feel regretful.

--------Dividing line------

"Good evening, viewers."

"good evening."

"Today is Tuesday, March 3st, the 21th day of the second lunar month."

"Today is the Spring Equinox among the 24 solar terms."

"Welcome to the new XX show."

"First, let me introduce the main content of today's program."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"See the detailed report below."

"New XX Beijing News: Comrade He Yuzhu, the founder of my country's military logistics field, alternate member of the XXXXX Central Military Commission, and former deputy director of the General Logistics Department of the XXXXX Army, died in Beijing at 6:13 pm today due to illness. He was 88 years old."

.

.

.

In the past few days, there has been a steady stream of people coming to attend He Yuzhu's funeral, and the scene is bright and shining.

"Professor Shi, please accept my condolences."

At a glance, one could tell that it was a group of intellectuals surrounding Shi Xiaona and comforting her.

There were quite a lot of people surrounding He Wen.

Some are from Boss Lu, and some are from the armed police.

Even in hospitals.

However, when they opened their mouths, they all said in unison, "General He, General Chu. Please accept our condolences."

Some of them came for He Wu and his wife.

"Minister, Director Guo", they kept talking.

As for He Wushuang, he was a little quieter than the other groups.

However, it is not quiet at all.

The first words he opened were again “Director He, President Wang”.

The rest, quite a few of them came for He Chenguang and He Chendong who were working at the general assembly line.

"Lieutenant Colonel He, please accept my condolences."

As the host, they can just stand still and wait for the return gift.

However, when some people come, even if it is reasonable to do so, you still have to go forward to greet them.

For example...

Uh-huh...

Right?

In the blink of an eye, 7 days passed.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, male, born in March 1935..."

In the farewell hall of Babaoshan, the "master of ceremonies" was reading He Yuzhu's obituary.

After the process is completed, there will be a fire, a gust of wind and a puff of smoke.

The story ends here.
