Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

In the past 60 years, because of the foundation laid in 58 and 59, as well as the controversial "debt repayment", He Yuzhu's family might not have noticed any changes.

However, ration reductions and food shortages have become the majority.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the Third Steel Rolling Mill where He Yuzhu and his men are stationed.

He Yuzhu and the other people in this office are stationed military representatives, so their food and supplies are allocated separately by the General Logistics Department.

In addition, the special lunch dishes recently are all prepared by He Yuzhu.

So, there is no change in the diet.

But it’s not the same in the factory.

All day long, they were either studying how to exchange fine grains for coarse grains, or how to exchange the quota of fish, meat, eggs, etc. for grain.

Li Huaide, who has now been promoted to deputy factory director, has come to Master Sun to exchange or plead for mercy. He Yuzhu knows about this at least five times.

Even so, sometimes He Yuzhu could hear the workers in the factory complaining that the food in the factory was getting worse day by day.

Moreover, this was just after the Spring Festival in 60.

He Yuzhu originally knew in later generations only from the older generation, or even older generations, that the situation in the next three years would be particularly difficult.

However, because He Yuzhu was living in the Northeast at that time, the food, according to the older generation, was okay and not too scarce.

But now, He Yuzhu experienced it himself. Even though he was in the capital, it was the first time he truly understood how bad the situation was.

Have you ever seen a wasteland?

It's not because of burning.

It’s not because the kind of plants that grow in late fall and early winter don’t grow.

Rather, it was because the people who had no food to eat simply pulled out the seeds one by one, creating a wasteland.

He Yuzhu saw it now.

Have you seen corn noodles?

It is a corn cob, without even peeling the leaves that wrap it. The corn kernels, which are the leftover corn cobs after eating, are crushed together to form corn flour.

Even so, some families are reluctant to mix too much of it when making dough, and can only mix a small amount. The rest is used to fill the stomach with wild vegetables or wild vegetable soup.

Just like that, before anyone knew it, He Yuzhu's eldest son was born.

6 month 1 number.

Wednesday, which was supposed to be Children's Day, turned out to be the day Shi Xiaona gave birth in the hospital.

That is the birthday of the boy named He Wen by He Yuzhu.

He Wen weighed 8 jin when he was born.

Originally, He Yuzhu thought that when he saw the child, or held the child for the first time, he would be excited and at a loss, just like in later novels or TV dramas.

However, He Yuzhu now may have put all his passion on when he first found out that Shi Xiaona was pregnant.

It is also possible that Shi Xiaona had caused He Yuzhu a lot of trouble during the ten months of her pregnancy.

More likely, it was the anxious waiting at the door of the delivery room just now.

Anyway, no matter what the reason was, He Yuzhu now seemed so calm when he saw the nurse holding the child out and saying "Congratulations, mother and child are safe".

Even, there is some disgust.

Yes, disgust.

It’s not He Yuzhu, the biological father, who said that.

This little kid was so ugly when he was just taken out of the delivery room.

There are wrinkles all over his body.

It’s still dark.

Uh, that’s not right. It can’t be said to be black.

It has to be said that it is the kind of black that is so red that it becomes black.

Moreover, this was not only said by He Yuzhu, the biological father, but also by Shi Xiaona, the biological mother.

After Shi Xiaona was sent back to the ward by a group of people, while those people were circling around little He Wen who had eaten and was sleeping, Shi Xiaona pulled He Yuzhu who was circling around her with a worried look on her face.

"Brother Zhuzi, do you feel that our son is a little... a little ugly?"

He Yuzhu has become accustomed to agreeing with Shi Xiaona in this year, and subconsciously said, "It's quite ugly."

After he finished speaking, he reacted.

How can you talk like that to a mother who just gave birth? Aren't you just looking for a fight?

But when He Yuzhu saw that Shi Xiaona was really serious, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, the doctor said that all babies are born like this, soaked in the amniotic fluid, and it will heal in a few days."

But He Yuzhu's comfort was of no use, Shi Xiaona was still worried.

"Brother Zhuzi, what should we do if the child still looks like this? If I had known that Xiaowen would look like this, I would not have rejected the colleague who wanted to arrange a marriage for her, so that Xiaowen would not have trouble finding a partner in the future."

As she spoke, Shi Xiaona sighed.

"Oh~~~"

"Oh~~~"

He Yuzhu also sighed.

"After all, the child's father is also muscular. I can't say he is very good-looking, but at least he has a regular face. And the child's mother is also tall and beautiful. Why does the child look like her?"

As it happened, Shi Xiaona and He Yuzhu were complaining about their child's ugly appearance, and their grandmother Wang Fengmin, who had rushed back from home visit leave specifically for her daughter's due date, heard it.

This is just great.

Wang Fengmin, the grandmother, began to criticize He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona.

The "grandfather group" headed by Master Sun, who were originally surrounding little He Wen, also turned their attention to He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona and started talking about various things.

He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona looked at each other and could only tremble in fear.

I can’t afford to offend the grandparents, I can’t afford to offend them.

Fortunately, there is He Yushui, the aunt, who can share the firepower.

Because, when He Yushui came home from school and saw little He Wen, the first thing he said was:

"Oh my god, so ugly?"

Ha, you are indeed a fool.

Because Shi Xiaona gave birth naturally, she walked back to the ward after giving birth.

The next day, Shi Xiaona was clamoring to go home.

It was Wang Fengmin's scolding as a mother that made Shi Xiaona stay in the hospital for another day.

It was the third day, and no matter what anyone said, it was useless. Shi Xiaona finally returned home safely.

Seeing that Wang Fengmin came to take care of Shi Xiaona and Xiao He Wen during the day, He Yuzhu went back to work.

After all, in this day and age, there is no paternity leave for men.

Even the maternity leave for women was only 98 days, nothing like the days in later generations.

(I didn’t find the relevant provisions about maternity leave in 60. I only saw a short video in which a UP host interviewed an old kindergarten teacher from Zhengzhou National Cotton No. Factory. The old kindergarten teacher said days. If any book friend has detailed information, please let me know. Thank you.)

Before we knew it, little He Wen was one month old.

According to He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona's idea, it would be fine to just give some wedding candies and cigarettes to close friends and colleagues.

After all, at this moment, if you make a big fuss, it will attract some hatred.

As for sending red eggs?

Sorry, He Yuzhu doesn’t have this statement.

As for Shi Xiaona, since Wang Fengmin had returned to the army, she didn't know whether this statement existed or not.

Moreover.

Eggs are so expensive now, and they even give away red eggs.

Since little He Wen is already one month old.

That also means that Shi Xiaona’s maternity leave is about to end.

In a flash, more than 20 days have passed.

Shi Xiaona's maternity leave is over, and she starts taking little He Wen to work at the train station every day.

After all, Shi Xiaona is the "group favorite", and now, the group favorite has brought another "group favorite", so there will definitely be no problem at work, and it will be relatively easy.

However, He Yuzhu started to get busy.

"Zhu Zi, you haven't forgotten your Russian yet, have you?"

As Master Sun asked the question, He Yuzhu shuddered.

Russian, I guess He Yuzhu will never forget it in his life.

That was taught by Master Sun, shot by shot.

"I haven't forgotten, Master. What's wrong?"

"As long as you haven't forgotten."

As he said this, Master Sun clapped his hands and called the three old brothers over.

"Everyone, the Russians officially announced on July 7 that the Russians in the factory where we are stationed have officially begun to withdraw. Our superiors have asked us to check all of their belongings before they withdraw to ensure that our secrets are not taken away."

Having said this, Master Sun gave everyone a deliberate look.

"Everything must be checked. Do you understand?"

As Master Sun finished speaking, the three people, including He Yuzhu, stood up straight in unison.

"Understood, promise to complete the task."

There is a saying in the world, "Science has no borders."

Just like the old Russian experts that He Yuzhu and his team are now inspecting and are about to be withdrawn from the factory.

These experts usually teach seriously and treat every student who comes to study seriously.

Moreover, even though they now know that their superiors asked them to evacuate and included some hidden small requirements, they are still very cooperative no matter what the purpose is.

They also knew the purpose of He Yuzhu and his group, so they marked out the information they brought and their study notes.

After He Yuzhu and the others got it, all they had to do was copy it.

But some are different.

Those experts, as the saying goes, "but scientists have nationalities."

It was obvious that after they arrived at the factory, they were treated with good wine and cigarettes, and were shown concern and care.

However, those who just don’t want to do any work need to be taught well.

All day long he either teaches superficial things here or well-known things there.

Even now, all the information, notes, and books were thrown into a bucket and burned in front of He Yuzhu and others.

He Yuzhu and the others didn't tolerate him either.

Although it cannot be defined as a spy.

However, it is still possible to lock someone up in a small dark room for a few days in the name of isolation and investigation.

Gradually, after He Yuzhu and his team had worked tirelessly for a long time, they copied all the information in the hands of the experts who were about to leave the Third Steel Rolling Mill where they were stationed... Pah, they had all been reviewed.

Those experts who were locked up in a small dark room were also released.

As all the experts withdrew in September, He Yuzhu and his team's mission was half completed.

The remaining half is to translate all the copied information.

Now, He Yuzhu's importance is reflected.

Although, the five people in Master Sun’s group, including He Yuzhu, all understand Russian.

However, Russian, which belongs to the Indo-European language family, is the same as English.

Some technical terms were created later and are completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

(For those who don’t understand what it means, here is an example: silicosis, English: pneumoconiosis, Russian: kpemhneвar 6oлe3hь, the above is for reference only.)

In other words, Master Sun and the three old men looked at a table full of professional materials, and there were some words that they couldn't even guess.

But He Yuzhu is different.

When he was learning Russian, Master Sun asked him to learn professional Russian related to mechanics, metallurgy and materials.

Although, these materials may have been written by an expert using his own dialect.

(Lao Maozi is a member of the franchise, so here, "dialect" is used to replace the "minority language" of some franchise members. So, don't take it too seriously, because I have never learned Russian.)

However, in general, Russian is still the majority, and He Yuzhu can still understand it.

This is just great.

The table was full of information, and He Yuzhu had to translate it all by himself.

Moreover, after hearing that He Yuzhu was proficient in Russian and could translate documents, the General Logistics Department seconded He Yuzhu back to the organization.

Good news: this time, He Yuzhu’s workplace is very close to home, just less than 5 minutes’ walk.

The bad news is that He Yuzhu can’t slack off at work this time, and sometimes he can’t even go home at night.

However, although He Yuzhu has studied professional Russian.

However, in the General Logistics Department, he was just a little Karami.

After all, in the military, there is nothing else but a lot of professional talents.

With a level of skill like his that is not even full, half full, or even can't even cover the bottom of the bottle, he can only help those professionals and translate those unimportant things such as general instruction manuals.

Before he knew it, He Yuzhu had been busy for nearly three months since he was transferred back to the office at the end of September.

When He Yuzhu returned to the factory to work, it was already the end of December 60.

He Yuzhu also returned with a commendation and promotion order.

The commendation order belongs to the entire team.

And the promotion order belongs only to He Yuzhu.

Now, He Yuzhu, who will be 4 years old in 26 months, has been officially promoted to quartermaster.

Logically speaking, if we look at it from 1.4 cents to 2.1 cents, He Yuzhu's promotion is just a normal one.

But what about the reality?

He Yuzhu skipped a grade.

It turns out that He Yuzhu was indeed worth 1.4 cents.

However, He Yuzhu is a captain at the deputy battalion level, level 18, and his basic monthly salary is 89 yuan.

Now, he has skipped the captain level at the battalion level and has become a major at the battalion level, the 16th level.

It can be said that if He Yuzhu is transferred now to a higher-level position, he can become a deputy regimental commander.

Now, He Yuzhu's monthly salary, not counting the military service allowance and other miscellaneous subsidies, is already 113 yuan in basic salary.

Moreover, in theory, he was qualified to live in the General Logistics Department compound where Master Sun worked.

But, this is only in theory.

In fact, He Yuzhu owned three and a half rooms in the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang, but he was not allowed to divide the rooms.
