Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

He Yuzhu did not object to this move. Children of this age grow up quickly and start taking over household chores early on.

Before he arrived, Xiao Yushui had already learned a lot of housework from He Daqing.

As night fell, the residents of the courtyard gradually turned off the lights, but in the backyard, the situation of the Xu family prevented them from sleeping peacefully.

Xu Wude sat alone on the sofa in the living room, while Xu Damao beside him had a look of frustration on his face, as if the top of his head was about to collapse.

"Dad, why are you doing this? The 200,000 yuan was originally intended to be used to learn projection equipment from a master, but it was all given to that idiot. How can I continue to pursue my dream?"

Recently, Xu Damao has learned a lot from the projectionist, and the projectionist believes that this job of projecting movies has great prospects.

The job sounded respectable, like a match made in heaven, and Xu Damao was looking forward to being able to show off when he got home in the future.

But now that this has happened, if he can't learn how to operate the projector, how will he be able to show off in his own yard in the future?

Xu Wude listened to Xu Damao's complaints and said unhappily, "Why, you still have complaints after getting paid? Will you be satisfied only if the situation gets out of control and the military control committee intervenes?"

If the loss was only two hundred thousand, Xu Wood wouldn't be really angry.

After all, from his ability to find a projectionist for Xu Damao to his help in his marriage, he is not a man without skills.

However, in the original book, Xu Wood’s background was not explained in detail.

What really annoyed him was that Damao and Zhuzi were of similar age, but why was there such a huge difference in their ways of doing things? People in the courtyard had always called Xu Damao "Silly Zhu".

, Although he didn't talk to Zhuzi often, this word of mouth made him look down on the child in his heart.

Even though He Daqing has good skills, his adopted son is obviously not as promising as his own Xu Wude.

Therefore, even though we know that Liu Haizhong's suggestion may involve "cutting off the family line and grandchildren",

He was willing to accept such an extreme approach, after all, it was his son's future.

Fortunately, he was cautious and sent Damao to investigate first.

Otherwise, if the two of them were directly involved, the consequences would be impossible to handle.

These two hundred thousand are just to learn a lesson for this.

Although he felt pain in his heart, he was still able to distinguish the importance of the matter.

After being taught like this, Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything more.

Although he was still young, he had witnessed the execution of prisoners after the military took over the city.

In that era, it was common to sometimes execute criminals by parading them around the city walls, a warning to the villains hiding in the darkness.

At the same time, due to the lack of entertainment activities, many people were willing to go to the execution ground to watch the excitement.

When Xu Damao was a child, he witnessed these things many times with his father, and each time he was so scared that he was paralyzed.

But he still felt sad in his heart.

Looking at his son who was about to graduate from junior high school, he knew that Xu Damao's level was only slightly higher than Zhuzi, who also dropped out of school.

In today's society, a junior high school graduate is enough to be qualified for a factory job, but he has seen the glory of a projectionist and does not want to be just an ordinary worker.

“Okay, don’t worry.

I will find a way to deal with this matter. Please be quiet recently.

Don't mess with the pillars again."

As a father, Xu Wude naturally could not ignore it and especially emphasized this sentence.

He knew a little about Zhuzi's abilities and knew that his son must not get into trouble again.

He must give Xu Damao a chance to have a decent job, otherwise it would be difficult to convince his future daughter-in-law, such as Lou Xiao'e in the play.

……

In the backyard of Old Liu's house, Liu Guangqi lay on the bed in the bedroom, occasionally groaning in pain.

After applying some medicine on him, the aunt left the room and came to the living room.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong and his brother Liu Guangfu were accompanying Liu Guangtian. After hearing their eldest brother's shrill screams, their little faces turned pale.

"My dear, look at what this has caused? Sha Zhu hit someone and wants us to pay him two hundred thousand!?"

Second mother was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore.

Faced with the boss's serious injuries, the pain in her heart was simply indescribable.

How much they loved Liu Guangqi at home on weekdays, but now two of his front teeth were knocked out, and five or six other teeth were damaged. Zhuzi was really cruel!

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong was also furious.

It was supposed to be a big wedding banquet, but it ended up with the eldest brother being seriously injured and losing a huge sum of 200,000 yuan, not to mention the medical expenses! Although his salary is not bad, how can the expenses of the whole family withstand this sudden economic blow?

Indeed, the salary is not bad, but they have five mouths to feed at home! Suddenly, they are short of 200,000 yuan in subsidies. They may have to borrow money from everywhere before payday!

"That heartless Zhuzi, it would be fine if he didn't treat us, but why did he hurt others?"

"We can't let this matter out."

Even though he was resentful, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but agree that Zhuzi's behavior had hit upon his weak spot.

Next time you encounter something like this, you must be careful and beware of that madman.

"From now on, we will eat one meal a day, and then sell the white flour at home and exchange it for corn cobs."

Liu Haizhong gave the order.

Hearing this, Second Mother's face changed suddenly. She understood that this was a helpless act, but she had nothing to say.

"Dad, how can I bear to eat only one meal? I haven't eaten white flour for a long time..."

The child didn’t understand these things, and the feeling of hunger made Liu Guangtian very anxious.

However, these words touched Liu Haizhong's heart. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly slammed the dining table!

"You bastard! You only know how to eat! You like eating, don't you? I'll let you starve!"

Liu Haizhong was already furious, and seeing his eldest son lying on the hospital bed unable to get up, he was so furious that he grabbed Liu Guangtian and started beating him up!

The boss could endure being beaten, so why can't you? ! Liu Guangtian burst into tears after being beaten, and his cries of pain echoed throughout the yard.

......

Hearing the wailing coming from the Liu family's backyard, Yi Zhonghai just shook his head slightly and said silently: "Old man Liu is beating the children again."

Seeing this, the eldest mother couldn't help but say, "Is he using the tutor's stick again?"

Liu Guangzhong has always advocated that beatings can produce filial sons, but he only beat Liu Guanger and Liu Guangsan. The neighbors were used to it and no one commented on it, because it was a family affair and educating children was always a private matter.

At first, people would occasionally come over and say a few words of comfort, but as time went on, everyone realized that this was not something they should interfere with.

After all, interfering with other people's parent-child education will undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.

In response, Yi Zhonghai just waved his hand slightly. He didn't have the leisure to deal with these troublesome matters now.

"Dongxu can walk now, so he should be able to participate in the assessment day."

Today, he observed Jia Dongxu's condition and found that his complexion was obviously much better than before. Thinking of this, he became even more angry.

A few days ago, he not only gave eggs, but also gave Jia Zhang a large amount of cash. Although that money could not buy the high-end dishes cooked by Zhuzi, it could provide Dongxu with some nutrition.

However, Dongxu's condition did not improve at all. It was obvious that Jia Zhang was reluctant to spend money and chose to save it in the hope that Dongxu could bear it with his body.

Fortunately, he asked Zhuzi to bring a lunch box, which helped Dongxu to feel a little better. Otherwise, if the assessment was delayed because of this, it would be too late to regret.

"That's really good. After Dongxu finishes his exams, you have to teach him some skills for a few years and train him.

We will have someone to rely on when we grow old.”

An aunt said.

Hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

Initially, this was indeed his intention. He accepted Jia Dongxu in order to rely on him to spend his old age.

However, Yi Zhonghai already had other considerations at this moment.

"What do you think of the pillars?"

He suddenly asked.

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

Unlike Dongxu, Zhuzi's father has not yet passed away, so the timing is a problem.

Even if He Daqing was unbearable, who could guarantee that he would not return home when they were old? How would they treat Zhuzi then? Could they really completely ignore their past friendship?

If you take this into consideration, Zhu's character doesn't seem to be suitable for long-term reliance.

But if they admitted that Zhuzi was their child, what kind of difficulties would their family encounter? It was obviously impossible not to let Zhuzi be responsible for He Daqing.

This also became an important consideration for Yi Zhonghai to set Jia Dongxu as the first pension recipient.

The most important reason is not only that the personalities are suitable, but more importantly, that there will be no sequelae.

Even though Jia Zhang had a hot temper, she was a woman after all and could tolerate it.

The deaf old lady also discussed all this with him.

Yi Zhonghai said: "The deaf old lady also mentioned this to me at that time."

He originally thought that even if he worked as a chef at Hongbinlou, Zhuzi should start as an apprentice, three years of apprenticeship, two years of learning the craft, and another three years of contribution. Wouldn't Zhuzi be quite old by then? How much would the salary be? In comparison, Jia Dongxu, who he personally trained, was much more comfortable.

However, Zhuzi's actual talent exceeded Yi Zhonghai's expectations.

Judging from Zhuzi's current living conditions, not considering the salary, his diet alone has exceeded their standards.

If Zhuzi is ultimately chosen for retirement, it would not be unacceptable.

"Forget it, let's wait and see, the key point is whether He Daqing will come back.

If he still hasn't come back by next year's New Year, we will formally accept Zhuzi."

In this way, with Jia Dongxu making money outside and a great chef like Zhuzi as a backup, their days in old age will definitely be extremely comfortable.

The aunt nodded, seeming to agree with Yi Zhonghai's proposal.

……

The night passed silently.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu got up to practice martial arts.

As a foundation of Chinese Kung Fu, He Yuzhu has never been vague about this, and he knows that solid桩功 is crucial to his overall improvement.

On the way to work, He Yuzhu happened to meet Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu who had just left the Second Hospital.

Three days have passed, and this is also the last day that He Yuzhu delivers food to Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai saw Zhuzi coming from the backyard without saying much and looked calm.

Jia Dongxu, who was sitting next to him, looked slightly better, but still looked pale.
