Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Although it is the hottest month of July, the weather in the city is not as hot as in midsummer.

It has been more than half a month since I came back from Suzhou. Whenever I have time, I go to Qianmen to spend time with Chen Xueru.

During this time, He Yuzhu took Chen Xueru on a tour, and Chen Xueru was successfully integrated into his social circle, confirming her status.

He Yuzhu is currently busy in the kitchen of Emei Restaurant. He has just finished cleaning up the table and is about to put on an apron to start work.

Zhang Mao hurried into the kitchen and walked straight towards He Yuzhu: "Master He! Master He! Please don't be busy yet. There is someone in front who is anxious to see you."

Hearing his shout, He Yuzhu paused what he was doing, looked up, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

When he came closer, He Yuzhu joked, "Manager Zhang, who is this? You are so anxious."

"Hi, Master He, this is your old acquaintance, the army chief who drives the jeep." Zhang Mao took a breath and immediately said who it was.

When He Yuzhu heard this, a look of joy immediately filled his face and he threw the apron in his hand back onto the table.

He strode towards the front hall, turned around and shouted to Zhang Mao, "Manager Zhang, I'll be over first."

Zhang Mao nodded, and a hint of envy flashed through his heart as he watched He Yuzhu quickly disappear into the kitchen.

He thought that He Yuzhu was young and promising, and was appreciated by the senior leader. He sighed and then walked out of the kitchen.

It was still early at this time and there were only a few guests in the front hall.

He Yuzhu came to the front hall and saw Lu Ming sitting on a stool at a glance. He walked up to him enthusiastically: "Haha! Brother Lu, long time no see! When did you come back this time?"

When Lu Ming saw He Yuzhu, he smiled cordially, stood up and walked over: "Zhuzi, I just came back not long ago, and came here directly to find you."

He Yuzhu gave him a warm hug, let go, heard his answer, and realized the meaning behind his words.

His brows furrowed slightly, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Brother Lu, are we leaving now?"

Lu Ming nodded slightly, confirming what he was thinking, and saw that he was frowning: "Zhu Zi, is there any difficulty?"

He Yuzhu heard this and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, my master is here today, I just need to tell my master."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car outside. Come over as soon as possible and we'll go together." After listening to him, Lu Ming responded quickly.

At this time, Zhang Mao came out from the kitchen. He Yuzhu reached out and grabbed Lu Ming, signaling him to wait.

He quickly waved to Zhang Mao, indicating that he had something to ask him.

Zhang Mao walked over quickly upon seeing this, and glanced at the two of them: "Master He, what's the matter?"

"Manager Zhang, I have to leave now. Please say hello to my master." He Yuzhu said hurriedly.

Zhang Mao glanced at Lu Ming beside him, smiled and nodded: "No problem, I will explain the situation to Master Wu."

"Okay! Thank you for your help!" He Yuzhu bowed and thanked him.

Zhang Mao hurriedly bowed in return: "You are busy, I will go find Master Wu now."

After Zhang Mao turned around and left, He Yuzhu turned to look at Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, let's go!"

"Well, you're very efficient. Chefs are different!" Lu Ming teased him as they walked.

He Yuzhu laughed and took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, when you have my skills and a good master, you can do it too."

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, reached out to take the cigarette box, glanced at it, opened it, put a cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.

Seeing the lighter in his hand, He Yuzhu couldn't help but joked, "Wow, Brother Lu is really good! He even used a lighter! Isn't this a complete upgrade?"

"Hehe, the conditions there are much better this time. The combat effectiveness of those Korean puppet troops is not very good, but they are very rich."

Lu Ming smiled proudly and showed the lighter in his hand.

"Okay, okay, I don't smoke. You can keep it for yourself as a treasure!" He Yuzhu waved his hand in pretended impatience, causing Lu Ming to laugh.

While the two were chatting and laughing, they had already arrived in front of the jeep.

Lu Ming walked around to the other side, opened the door, and got in the driver's seat. He Yuzhu followed closely behind and sat in the passenger seat.

With the roar of the engine, the jeep started steadily and drove towards the leader's residence.

After inspection, the jeep finally stopped in front of the gate of the chief's residence.

The two got out of the car one after another. Lu Ming turned around and looked at He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, let's go! The chief wants to see you about something."

He Yuzhu nodded, followed him, and walked into the yard.

After a while, the two arrived at the door of the study.

Lu Ming walked up and knocked on the door gently. The leader's familiar voice came from the study: "Come in."

Lu Ming pushed open the door and the two walked in one after the other.

"Commander, I have already brought the person over. Do you have any other instructions?" Lu Ming stood aside and asked respectfully.

Chief Chen put down the book in his hand, looked up at the two people who entered the room, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

He waved his hand: "Okay, no more instructions. Go and rest first!"

Lu Ming saluted, turned around, gave He Yuzhu a look, and walked out of the study.

He Yuzhu walked forward quickly and saluted the chief: "Hello, chief!"

He was both nervous and excited, wondering what the leader wanted to talk to him about.

Commander Chen looked He Yuzhu up and down with an interested expression on his face.

This made He Yuzhu feel uneasy. He kept saluting and didn't dare to breathe.

After a while, Commander Chen spoke up, "Xiao He, I think your salute posture is pretty standard. Do you want to be a model soldier and help me train their military posture?"

He Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly put down his hand and waved it to refuse: "Commander, you are too kind! I am just a show-off, how dare I be a model soldier!"

Chief Chen looked at his nervous expression and the smile on his face became even more intense.

He waved his hand: "Okay, okay! I'm just kidding you. Pour your own tea and find a place to sit down!"

"Yes! Chief!" He Yuzhu responded, walked to the coffee table beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa.

Seeing that He Yuzhu had already sat down, Chief Chen sat up straight, his expression becoming serious: "Xiao He, I called you over so urgently this time because I have two things to tell you."

He Yuzhu He Yuzhu sat up straight immediately after hearing this, and said firmly and forcefully: "Please speak, Chief! I will follow your instructions!"

Chief Chen was satisfied with his attitude and pointed at him. "You! Let's get down to business. The first one is the request you asked your comrades to give feedback on. The higher-ups have already approved it."

"Commander, is the plan effective?" He Yuzhu heard the implication and looked at him in surprise.

Chief Chen was very pleased to see him say this first, and couldn't help laughing: "Not bad, you really have some tricks."

"The foreign devils have to use some tricks!" He Yuzhu said jokingly.

Chief Chen laughed even louder and pointed at He Yuzhu: "Not bad, you have some of my style!"

He Yuzhu chuckled, thinking that there were not many people who would enjoy stealing other people's cigarettes or drinking other people's wine.
