Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Originally, in He Yuzhu's impression, or rather, what He Yuzhu's superficial historical knowledge told him, was that the beginning of the "ticket era" in my country should have started with "grain coupons" or "rations".

However, what He Yuzhu could never have imagined was that the first thing he received was not food coupons, but "cloth coupons".

That’s right, it’s cloth coupons.

He Yuzhu's school had only been open for two weeks when, on September 9th, cloth coupons suddenly appeared as if overnight.

It's that quick.

To be honest, the economy is gradually stabilizing now, and large-scale wars are becoming less and less common.

Things like cotton don't need to be included in military supplies.

Why is there a "limited edition" in the first place?

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.

Since he didn't understand, He Yuzhu didn't bother with it anymore.

To be honest, He Yuzhu's demand for cloth coupons was not that high.

As for clothes, let’s not even mention the two sets of “work clothes” and “police uniforms” issued by the hot rolling mill.

For example, He Yuzhu has now joined the army and has been issued uniforms from head to toe.

For He Yuzhu, cloth coupons and the like can only be used to make quilt covers, or small items such as curtains, tablecloths, and sofa cushions.

As for the little rain, don't make a fuss about it. He Yuzhu doesn't need to take care of it at all.

In addition to Master Sun who has taken care of everything, he also has 5 uncles and uncles.

You don't know.

In the Northeast in later generations, if there was an only girl among a large group of relatives.

Wow, these relatives treat this girl like a princess.

Even if the little girl said she wanted the moon, all these relatives would not pick stars for her if they had the ability to do so.

Yes, although it is not yet the future.

However, what is engraved in the bones cannot be erased.

This group of "uncles and grandpas" headed by Lao Wang and Lao Qian would always bully Master Sun for no reason.

Who made Xiao Yushui live in Master Sun’s house?

Because of this, the "uncles and grandpas" group became jealous.

However, this has also become a way for Master Sun to "attack" these old guys when he has nothing to do.

Just tell me, now that things have come to this, is it really necessary for He Yuzhu to help?

He wanted to reach out, but he had no chance.

Even if He Yuzhu tries to take action, he might be jointly punished by Master Sun and the "Uncles and Grandpas Group".

Well, He Yuzhu was happy to have some free time and didn't care anymore.

Gradually, after more than a month had passed, the "cloth coupon" issue gradually died down.

The annual "accumulation of sauerkraut" has begun again.

This year, even though the old guys and their families come to eat more often, sometimes there are more people.

But there are not many more cabbages stored this year.

Well, not much more, just doubled.

When He Yuzhu heard from Master Sun that several old men had collected 1800 kilograms of cabbage this year, He Yuzhu almost cried.

Last year, there were more than 600 of them in 100 kilograms.

3 600, nearly 400 lessons.

8 large vats, exactly 8 large vats, neatly arranged in the corridor of Master Sun’s house.

This means that there are two households on the first floor of the small building where Master Sun lives, and the people living in the house opposite are Old Qiantou and his wife.

Otherwise, if there are four households on one floor like on the second and third floors, there won’t be enough space.

This time, He Yuzhu really gritted his teeth and agreed.

Otherwise, what can we do?

A group of old men are staring at you eagerly, and next to you is a cute He Yushui who keeps shaking He Yuzhu's arm.

Alas~~~~

It’s a pit brother.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu did not feel as tired as he expected.

After all, He Yuzhu can still command the guards of these old men.

Gradually, the sauerkraut is cooked and ready to be eaten.

This group of old men brought back the still hot pork, bones and blood from the slaughterhouse just like they did last year, gathered at Master Sun's house and started eating.

However, the atmosphere this year is a bit heavy.

He Yuzhu listened to it.

It seems that the military is going to implement a military rank system.

Sure enough, on December 12, the higher authorities officially issued an order to implement the military rank system.

Now, although Master Sun and his group of old men, or everyone in the compound where Master Sun lives, all look indifferent and keep saying "obey the superiors".

However, there are many people who secretly inquire and contact their old superiors and leaders in private.

As for He Yuzhu, he really doesn't care.

It is.

He is a deputy company commander with less than two years of military service, and he will only turn 20 after the Chinese New Year.

If he still jumps around looking for someone to "classify" him, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable?

He Yuzhu does have some self-awareness.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the New Year.

As for the Chinese New Year, although the atmosphere of the New Year now is much more exciting than that of later generations.

However, to be honest, for people in later generations like He Yuzhu, especially adults, celebrating the New Year is just celebrating the New Year, there is nothing special about it.

He Yuzhu just followed the crowd.

He just does whatever others do.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is over.

The day after the Lantern Festival was February 55, 2.

He Yuzhu received a very special gift for him.

That is the Officers' Service Regulations Manual.

Do you know what receiving this manual means?

It means that He Yuzhu has officially entered the ranks of "officers".

This is enough to make He Yuzhu excited.

However, He Yuzhu was only excited for a while and then let it go.

After all, the title has not been officially awarded yet and everything is still pending, right?

Besides, it’s March 3st and He Yuzhu will have to go back to school.

Moreover, March 3st is the eighth day of the second lunar month, the day for making soy sauce cubes.

How could He Yuzhu be excited?

But who would have thought that March 3st is not just the day for school to start and making soy sauce.

It is also the day when new currency begins to be issued.

Yes, the second edition of the money has been issued.

This time, after 6 years of happiness, He Yuzhu can finally stop spending lavishly and spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn.

From March 3st, we have to live a "poor" life and start to count our money in "blocks", "maos" and "cents".

However, after going to the bank to exchange the new version of the currency, He Yuzhu had a question.

So why isn't there a 10 yuan one?

Now, the largest denomination of the newly issued version is only "5 yuan".

Moreover, there is a denomination of "3 yuan" that He Yuzhu has never seen before.

He Yuzhu was stunned by this.

No Sister Li, no Sister Li.

If you don’t understand, you don’t understand.

He Yuzhu should be more careful, and he is still more careful.

His current salary doesn't allow him to spend much in a month.

So he exchanged all the money he had saved for the new version of "3 yuan".

After all, as the old saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare.

What if it becomes valuable in the future?

Anyway, it’s about saving money. It doesn’t matter what you save, right?

Slowly, the craze for “currency exchange” subsided.

It’s time for He Yuzhu to make some paste.

However, this year 55, there is a run March.

By the time He Yuzhu finished making the soybean paste on April 7th as usual and it was ready to eat, it was already July.

He Yuzhu has already graduated.

As soon as he graduated from this school, He Yuzhu happily took this year's graduation certificate and last year's graduation certificate, a total of four "Iron and Steel Industry College" graduation certificates, to the Labor and Personnel Department to prepare to change his academic qualifications.

Otherwise, the word "primary school" in the education column in the personnel information is a bit too eye-catching.

However, He Yuzhu was stunned by what the personnel officer said.

"Oh, junior high school. OK, I get it."

Junior high school?

I studied four majors for two years, and I only managed to get through junior high school?

Although He Yuzhu was a little bit unbelieving, he did not make a fuss with the HR officer.

Instead, he ran directly to Master Sun's office.

"Master, isn't there something wrong with my academic qualifications?"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out four completion certificates from his bag and placed them on the desk in front of Master Sun.

"I went to school for two years, studied four majors, and I only have a junior high school diploma?"

"What else do you want?"

Master Sun's calm words left He Yuzhu stunned.

"No, Master, I..."

He Yuzhu was about to say something, but Master Sun interrupted him directly.

"You can just snicker at the junior high school, what else do you want to do?"

"Ok?"

He Yuzhu picked up the certificate from the table with a little disbelief and looked at it carefully.

But after reading it from beginning to end several times, He Yuzhu didn't find any problems.

"No, Master, the certificate of completion says Iron and Steel Industry College. Is that place a junior high school now?"

Now, He Yuzhu began to doubt the "Iron and Steel Industry College".

Master Sun shook his head.

"No, even though that college was only established a few years ago, it is at least a technical college."

"That's it. I graduated from a technical college, so it must be a technical secondary school at least. How could it be a junior high school?"

He Yuzhu's face was full of question marks.

But Master Sun just laughed disdainfully.

"What are you thinking? Do you really think you are a regular student who got in? Don't forget, you are in the commissioned training class."

"Yes, even if I was in the commissioned training class, I still graduated from the Iron and Steel Industry College, right?"

He Yuzhu really didn't understand.

In later years, the university in the city where he lived also had commissioned training classes.

However, graduates from the commissioned training programs are awarded the same academic qualifications as those from our own school.

But now, is there something wrong?

Facing a puzzled look on his face, Master Sun stopped teasing and began to explain.

"Your commissioned training class was actually able to be opened thanks to the literacy class. If we were to talk more formally, the school would have started the formal unified enrollment a few years ago, and you would not have been able to study at the Iron and Steel Institute at all."

"That is to say, in fact, all of us in the commissioned training class are considered to be the Iron and Steel Institute or the literacy class run by our factory, right? The junior high school education is also calculated based on the assessment standards announced by the literacy working group a few years ago, "Those with outstanding performance can be evaluated as having the equivalent academic qualifications of junior high school graduates"? "

This time, He Yuzhu understood.

How can one get a technical secondary school degree just in one year?

Now, He Yuzhu was a little discouraged.

"Come on, stop looking so desperate. Here you go. Take a look for yourself."

Master Sun looked at He Yuzhu, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and smiled as he took out a document from the drawer of his desk and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"What the hell?"

He Yuzhu still took the document and took a look at it.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu was shocked.

"I'm going to the military academy?"

Master Sun smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I will send you to the military academy for three months of training. This time, when you come out, you will have a technical secondary school diploma."

"Can I?"

For a moment, He Yuzhu hesitated.

During this "three-month training", He Yuzhu has learned a lot in the unit over the past two years.

These are all necessary trainings for "scholars" to become "officials".

To be honest, even though He Yuzhu is already a deputy company commander, he is not really qualified.

But here, Master Sun just smiled indifferently.

"What's the question of whether you can go or not? Just go if you are asked to go. Besides, behind the scenes, it's not just me who sent you there, but also Lao Wang, Lao Qian and a few others who contributed. In the end, the head teacher made the final decision to let you go. What are you afraid of? We are the old men who are here to protect you."

As he spoke, Master Sun took out a box of white paper from the drawer and threw it to He Yuzhu.

Then he lit his pipe and started smoking.

"There's still half a month before school starts, and there's nothing to do at work recently, so go back and spend some time with Yu Shui."

On this side, He Yuzhu lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a long breath of smoke, and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, okay, I understand, Master."

Looking at Master Sun who had a heavy face, he also knew that He Yuzhu was worried, so he stood up and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much. We, the old guys, are not targeting you. We are targeting Xiao Yushui. You are just benefiting from Xiao Yushui's help."

After thinking about it, Master Sun felt that it was not enough and spoke again.

"By the way, while you have some free time, hurry up and make a few more meals for us and try to curry favor with us."

Since Master Sun had advised him like this, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to back off, hid his worries, and grinned.

"Okay, how about I cook you a big meal this Sunday?"

Master Sun saw He Yuzhu smiling and smiled too.

"That's great, it's settled, Sunday."

Just do it.

From the next day, He Yuzhu began to contact those diligent fellow apprentices, uncles and grandpas he had known before.

The purpose is to get more good ingredients.

Although, people like Master Sun, Lao Wang and Lao Qian are definitely experts who have seen and experienced everything.

They may not necessarily find the things prepared by He Yuzhu new.

But at least, this is a little token of He Yuzhu's appreciation, isn't it?

Otherwise, isn't He Yuzhu the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful?

Although, all of this now can be considered as what He Yuzhu has achieved in the early stage.

But, after all, people are all mutual.

If you support me and I support you, it will last forever.

How can you exchange true love for true feelings if you only calculate the gains and losses?
