Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu rode his new bicycle with an unconcealable joy on his face.

He rode his bike briskly through the streets and alleys, finally arriving at the restaurant and walking into the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I heard Liu Zixing calling me.

"Zhuzi, come here."

"Okay! I'll be right there!" He Yuzhu responded while walking towards him quickly without stopping.

When he came to Liu Zixing, he asked casually: "Master Liu, do you have any other plans today?"

Liu Zixing waved his hand with a smile on his face: "Zhu Zi, yesterday Manager Hong specifically told you to go find him as soon as you get to the kitchen today."

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Hey! Why is Manager Hong looking for me?"

Liu Zixing spread his hands and pouted: "I don't know about that!"

"Okay! Then I'll go over first! See you later!" After saying this, He Yuzhu turned around Liu Zixing and walked towards the front hall.

When he arrived at Hong Deyou's office door, he reached out and knocked.

"Please come in!"

He Yuzhu opened the door and walked into the room, clasping his fists towards him: "Manager Hong, good morning!"

"Master He, you're here! Come and sit down!" Hong Deyou stood up from behind his desk and greeted him warmly.

He Yuzhu sat down on a chair beside him as he was told. Not long after he sat down, Hong Deyou came over with a glass of water.

He quickly stood up, took the cup of water with both hands, and thanked him repeatedly.

Hong Deyou smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Master He, I asked you to come today because I received a call looking for you yesterday."

He Yuzhu put the cup of water on the coffee table beside him, turned his gaze to Hong Deyou, and waited for the next words.

"It's a guy named Lu from the logistics department of Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant who wants you to help. I saw you were not here, so I agreed to it on your behalf." After Hong Deyou finished speaking, he stared at He Yuzhu's expression.

He Yuzhu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he knew who was looking for him.

He looked up at Hong Deyou and said, "Manager Hong, that's no problem. But what are the specific rules?"

"They will send someone to pick you up in the morning, and if it's fast, they will send you back in the afternoon! It won't take more than three days at the latest." Hong Deyou continued, while observing He Yuzhu's reaction.

"Then what should we do here?" He Yuzhu hesitated, not expecting that it might take longer.

"As for the restaurant, you don't have to worry. I have already discussed it with your master, and he will take over your job temporarily." Hong Deyou explained quickly.

He Yuzhu saw that he was hesitant to speak, and seeing that they had been working together happily recently, he took the initiative to ask, "Manager Hong, is there anything else?"

Hong Deyou licked his lips, coughed slightly with a hint of embarrassment, and then whispered, "Master He, I need your help with something."

He Yuzhu didn't reply, but signaled him to continue speaking with his eyes.

"I have a nephew who wants to work in the factory. Do you think we can take this opportunity to build a bridge for him?" Hong De looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Oh? Let me go over there and see what's going on. If there's a chance, I'll definitely help you."

"Thank you so much! Thank you, Master He!" When Hong Deyou heard him say that, his face immediately showed joy. He stepped forward, shook He Yuzhu's hand tightly, and thanked him repeatedly.

"Manager Hong, I have to go home and make some arrangements for my younger sister. But it will only take three days at most. I won't be responsible for any more than that." He Yuzhu did not forget to put forward his request.

"Okay, I agree to this. You go back first." Hong De nodded in agreement.

After returning to the kitchen and saying hello to Liu Zixing, he went out and rode his bike back to the courtyard.

Soon after He Yuzhu returned to the kitchen, a waiter came to tell him, "Master He, the car that's looking for you has arrived outside the gate!"

He Yuzhu walked out of the store and looked up to see Xiao Feng sitting in the driver's seat.

He walked up quickly, took out a cigarette case, and handed him a cigarette: "Brother Feng, why are you here so early?"

Xiao Feng took the cigarette, lit it with a match, took a deep puff, and coughed a few times because of the smoke: "Master He, you get in the car first. We can talk while we walk."

"Okay!" Seeing this, He Yuzhu got into the car and sat down without saying much.

Xiao Feng immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep drove out like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust.

"Master He, there will be Soviet Union experts coming to the factory, and the issue of their reception has been thrown on the battalion commander's shoulders. I'm asking you to go over and give some advice." Xiao Feng explained while driving, his tone somewhat anxious.

"Huh? Have you been in contact so early?" Although He Yuzhu had some doubts in his mind, he quickly suppressed the thoughts and listened attentively.

"The battalion commander sent me to pick you up early in the morning. He will feel at ease if you go earlier." Xiao Feng said as he put out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Don't worry about this. As long as it's food, I can make all the arrangements." He Yuzhu promised confidently.

He reached into his bag and took out a slightly warm steamed bun and handed it to Xiao Feng: "Brother Feng, eat something first."

Xiao Feng smelled the fragrance, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down. After hesitating for a moment, he saw that the road conditions were stable, so he reached out to take it and started chewing it in big mouthfuls.

He Yuzhu saw him wolfing down the food in a few mouthfuls and said, "Brother Feng, don't choke."

Xiao Feng swallowed the last bite of fire and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I'm used to rushing to transport goods on the front line."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled slightly and handed over another cigarette.

After several years of renovation and construction, the roads in the suburbs are better than before. This time the jeep took a lot less time than before and the road was not so bumpy.

After passing the inspection and registration at the gate, the jeep stopped in front of the small building of the logistics department.

Lu Qiufu had already arrived downstairs. When he saw He Yuzhu getting out of the car, he greeted him warmly and gave him a firm hug with open arms.

"Brother He, you are finally here!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Brother Lu invited me, so how can I not come? Let's go to the kitchen first and see if there is anything to change."

"Haha! Good! You are straightforward, brother." Seeing him being so direct, Lu Qifu smiled with satisfaction. He turned around and led him towards the cafeteria.

After walking around the canteen kitchen, Lu Qifu saw that he hadn't said anything and was a little unsure: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"It's okay, don't worry." He Yuzhu chuckled when he saw his nervous expression.

He pondered for a moment and said to him, "Brother, arrange for someone to get some bricks and refractory materials. Build a stone kiln here to bake bread. I will tell you the rest of the menu later."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Hearing that, Lu Qifu let out a long sigh and patted his chest to assure, "I'll go and arrange for the staff right away, and you can just stay by and give guidance."
