Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Hey, chicken soup is here!"

He Yuzhu's voice was filled with joy. He wore gloves and carefully carried the steaming bowl of chicken soup into the living room.

The hot steam from the chicken soup filled the air with its enticing aroma, interweaving with the original fragrance in the living room to form a mouth-watering fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good!" The leader's second son smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the chicken soup in He Yuzhu's hand.

He Yuzhu smiled and placed the chicken soup steadily in the middle of the table. He said respectfully to Chief Chen and Sister Fu, "Chief, Sister, please enjoy your meal."

Chief Chen took a deep breath of the aroma and looked at He Yuzhu with appreciation: "Xiao He, why does your chicken soup taste even better than before?"

"I froze a chicken yesterday and brought it here." He Yuzhu chuckled proudly and rubbed his hands together. "This chicken does taste better than usual."

"Xiao He, don't bring your own ingredients next time. I will prepare them here."

Chief Chen sensed his intention and continued, "Today, it's just our family. Go call Xiao Lu over and we'll eat together."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised when he heard this, and waved his hand to refuse: "Commander, this is not good, right?"

Sister Fu, who was sitting next to him, saw that Chief Chen admired He Yuzhu and advised him softly, "Xiao He, you are thoughtful today and prepared such a good meal. We are all comrades, so what's wrong with having a meal together?"

"Don't be polite, kid. Sit down quickly." Commander Chen waved his hand and shouted in a louder voice, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu!"

After a while, Lu Ming appeared at the door of the living room: "Chief, do you have any instructions?"

"My instructions are for you to get the bowls and chopsticks and come over to eat with us," Chief Chen said with a smile.

Lu Ming glanced around the room and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu had no choice but to take off his gloves, take off his apron, fold them neatly and place them on a chair beside him.

Sister Fu watched He Yuzhu's actions and nodded. She had a very good impression of this young man with superb cooking skills and good manners.

After everyone was seated, Chief Chen nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the delicacies on the table: "Xiao He, I can't drink. Our main focus today is to eat well!"

"As a cook, the greatest affirmation for me is that everyone eats well." He Yuzhu responded politely.

Sister Fu held the little girl in her arms and chuckled, "Xiao He, you know a lot! I think the Dongpo pork and lion head are very authentic."

"I heard from Brother Lu that you are from Jiangdong, so I specially prepared these two dishes." He Yuzhu explained, "Try the Dongpo pork first to see how it tastes. We didn't use Shaoxing wine this time."

Commander Chen clapped his hands and praised, "I'm already drooling just by smelling this fried pork with chili peppers! You're such a genius!"

"Just a little bit of knowledge!" He Yuzhu responded with a modest laugh.

At this time, Chief Chen noticed that his son couldn't wait to eat, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat!"

After lunch, before saying goodbye, Chief Chen asked He Yuzhu to wait patiently for the results and said that he would inform him in time.

He Yuzhu walked out of the yard gate and got back into the jeep. He found a bag on the back seat.

"Brother Lu, why did the commander give me something again? He should keep it for himself to replenish his body."

Lu Ming drove the car steadily and glanced at the bag: "The chief said you can treat him to chicken, so can't he treat you to something fresh?"

After saying this, both of them laughed.

"Okay, I'll take it." He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, "Brother Lu, take me to the post office. I need to do something."

"No problem, hold on tight!" Lu Ming said and accelerated forward.

After arriving at the post office, He Yuzhu mailed a package to Chen Xueru who was far away in Suzhou, and wrapped the books and put them in the package.

He wrote a letter explaining that the previous plan had been submitted, and told her that he would soon go south to meet her, hoping that she would have faith and wait for him.

In order to ensure that Chen Xueru could receive the email in time, He Yuzhu also sent a telegram to her to remind her to check her email.

As the temperature gradually rises, the breath of spring is quietly spreading.

Commander Chen stood quietly in front of the window, his hands behind his back, his deep gaze looking through the glass at the distant scenery.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room. He turned around and shouted with full energy: "Come in!"

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked in. He walked into the study with steady steps, a warm smile on his face.

"Hello, Chief!"

Chief Chen smiled slightly, pointed to a chair beside him and said kindly: "Xiao He, come, sit down first."

He Yuzhu nodded in thanks, walked to the chair and sat down, his back straight and his expression focused.

Chief Chen also sat down on the chair next to him, looking pleased: "Xiao He, the implementation plan you submitted last time was very detailed. The expert team highly appreciated it after discussion and has decided to adopt it."

He Yuzhu clapped his hands excitedly upon hearing this: "That's great! But Chief, you have to keep a close eye on it and don't sell it too cheaply when the time comes."

When Chief Chen heard this, he laughed out loud: "Okay, I see you are full of confidence, I will pay attention to it when the time comes. After all, this is a big deal, and I will feel bad if you sell it at a loss."

He Yuzhu smiled slyly: "Commander, just remember to ask for a high price and pay it back when it comes. It would be even better if we can exchange it for good technology. Gaul still has some wealth."

Commander Chen patted him on the shoulder in appreciation: "You are really energetic!"

He Yuzhu's face showed a ruthless look, and he clenched his palms tightly: "Hey, if we can fleece the capitalists, of course we have to seize the opportunity."

"Yes, yes, yes, we must take advantage of them! Hahahaha."

Chief Chen was amused by his words and laughed uncontrollably, his eyes showing appreciation, "Although the big head can only be given if you succeed, what reward do you want?"

He Yuzhu stopped smiling upon hearing this and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked at Chief Chen and said, "Chief, I do need help with something right now. I don't know if I should tell you this."

Seeing his hesitation, Chief Chen deliberately put on a stern face and waved his hand: "Since you don't know whether to speak up or not, then don't speak up."

He Yuzhu was stunned by this unexpected remark and looked at Chief Chen with blinking eyes.

When he saw a playful smile on the leader's face, he suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

He thought with a wry smile on his face: He is indeed a man of fun, he doesn't even let children go.

Seeing that his prank was successful, Chief Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter. After laughing, he asked He Yuzhu: "Haha, tell me what's the matter."

He Yuzhu curled his lips and answered honestly: "Chief, my girlfriend is now left in Suzhou. Do you have any old subordinates there who can use their power to help me marry my wife?"

"Oh?" Chief Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he was familiar with this old routine. "You found a lady from a rich family?"

He Yuzhu nodded and looked at Chief Chen expectantly: "It's a new society now, and getting a marriage certificate is no problem. But I hope she can get the blessing of her family."

Chief Chen nodded slightly and thought for a moment, "I got it. One of the people you met last time is right over there."

He Yuzhu showed a look of surprise: "Okay."

"Okay, I'll say hello to him. You can discuss it with him when you get to Suzhou." Chief Chen waved his hand, "Xiao He, I have a transfer order and will be leaving soon."

"Commander, why are you back so fast? What's your health condition?" He Yuzhu looked worried.

Commander Chen shook his head: "I will go wherever I am needed. Besides, I have been eating well recently and I feel that I have gained weight. Your cooking skills are really good!"

"Commander, I accept your compliment." He Yuzhu smiled and paused, "However, I will still prepare some ginseng for you this time. This is also a token of my appreciation."

Just as Commander Chen was about to refuse, He Yuzhu said hastily, "Commander, I use it up every day when I practice martial arts, so it's really not expensive to me. Please accept it."

Seeing his sincerity, he couldn't bear to refuse his kindness. Chief Chen nodded and thought to himself: "Forget it, just regard it as a respect from the younger generation!"
