Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

A jeep was speeding along the road, kicking up clouds of dust.

He Yuzhu sat in the passenger seat, looking through the car window at the scenery outside that was rapidly receding, his face full of joy of returning home.

He turned his head and looked at Lu Ming who was concentrating on driving: "Brother Lu, I didn't bring any gifts for everyone this time.

There is quite a lot of food, I will leave some for you later. You must keep the chief's portion."

Lu Ming smiled, slowed down the car, turned his head and said, "I can only try my best.

If the leader gets happy one day, he might give them all away.”

He Yuzhu was not surprised after hearing this, instead he nodded with a smile: "The more I can eat, the better.

By the way, I also brought some ginseng slices this time. The dosage this time is half of what I used before, and the efficacy is much better than before.”

Lu Ming looked straight ahead without turning his head, and replied directly: "Okay, I will do it myself, don't worry."

After saying this, He Yuzhu turned his gaze to the outside of the car window again and found that the road in his memory seemed to have changed.

"Brother Lu, why is the road widened? I've only been away for half a year, the speed is really fast!"

Lu Ming looked at the newly built road outside the window, his lips curled up, and he explained with great interest.

"Zhu, with the addition of new engineering equipment, it will be faster. Now only the roadbed has been opened, and it will probably be completely repaired this year."

At this time, the road became wider and there were fewer people, so Lu Ming stepped on the accelerator and started speeding towards the school.

The school gate was visible from afar. With Lu Ming driving the car and leading the way, they arrived at the main building without any obstruction.

After Lu Ming parked the car, he turned to look at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, the chief is in the office upstairs now. Let's go up together."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, I'll throw these things into your car first."

As he spoke, he took the backpack from the back seat and took out the prepared gifts from it.

The two got out of the car, walked into the familiar building, and went straight to Chief Chen's office upstairs.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Lu Ming led He Yuzhu to the door of the office.

He turned his head to signal He Yuzhu, knocked on the door gently, pushed it open and walked in.

He Yuzhu followed closely behind, carrying something.

Chief Chen sat behind his desk and looked up at the door.

His eyes swept past Lu Ming, and when he saw He Yuzhu, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He stood up happily, laughed heartily, and pointed his finger at He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you did a good job this time!"

He Yuzhu naturally understood what Chief Chen meant. He grinned and walked forward quickly.

Seeing this, Lu Ming took over the conversation with a smile on his face: "Commander, I'll go down first. You guys chat slowly, I'll go to the cafeteria to take a look."

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Ming aside: "Brother Lu, since I'm here, I'll go to the cafeteria to make some delicious food for the leader later."

Lu Ming did not nod in agreement directly, but turned to look at Chief Chen.

He knew Chief Chen's temper and would not seek special treatment. This matter required Chief Chen's approval.

Commander Chen nodded at Lu Ming and waved at him.

After receiving the instructions, Lu Ming smiled even more brightly. He glanced at He Yuzhu and walked out of the office happily.

Commander Chen glanced at the gift that He Yuzhu placed on the table, then picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of hot tea, and pointed to the sofa beside him.

"Come sit down! You are not being polite to me. What new things have you brought for me?"

He Yuzhu walked to the desk, picked up the teacup himself and blew gently.

"Sir, there's nothing new here. I don't have money to buy expensive things, these are just some food."

Chief Chen saw that He Yuzhu was holding the teacup but not sitting down, so he pulled over a chair and sat down, waving at him.

"That's even better. It's more satisfying when you eat it. You guys have been asking me to eat more, so this is perfect."

He Yuzhu walked to the sofa and sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked carefully at Chief Chen who was sitting on the chair.

There was fatigue that was hard to conceal between his brows and his complexion was a little gloomy. It was obvious that he had been working so hard during this period that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Commander Chen felt He Yuzhu's gaze and sighed inwardly.

He knew He Yuzhu's medical skills, and when he thought about his daily routine over the past six months, he felt guilty for no reason.

He coughed lightly, trying to hide his abnormal expression, and put the teacup on the table.

"What are you looking at, kid? I eat medicinal food every week and I am in great shape."

Seeing that he was still trying to be stubborn, He Yuzhu simply put down the teacup, leaned forward, and put his hand on Chief Chen's pulse.

Commander Chen was stunned by his move. He watched him start to take his pulse and moved his mouth.

In the end, he didn't say what he wanted to say. He just kept his wrist flat and didn't interrupt He Yuzhu.

Not long after, He Yuzhu let go of Commander Chen's wrist, turned his head and looked at him with a serious look in his eyes.

Chief Chen pulled his sleeves and looked at He Yuzhu with a smile: "You kid, you are still doing this. I am not lying."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said firmly: "Commander, you can't fool me.

You ate it, but you certainly didn’t eat it all. You only ate part of it, am I right?”

There was a flash of surprise in Chief Chen's eyes. He understood that this was a sign of concern for his health, and he felt relieved.

"It's not that I think the effect is good, some new professors in the school are not used to the northern environment, so let everyone relax."

He Yuzhu listened to the explanation and waved his hands quickly: "Okay, okay, your body has been subjected to electric shock.

I have managed to raise some for you, so please don't continue to suffer losses. If you want to help others, I have no objection.

How about this! I brought some ginseng slices this time, and I'll let Brother Lu stew them for you. The other comrades can cook a separate portion, is that all right?"

Commander Chen once tried to use ginseng available on the market as a substitute, and he himself could clearly feel that the effect was not as good as that provided by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu had special ways to get good ginseng, so it was hard to get into details, and naturally it was not good to shamelessly ask He Yuzhu for it.

Now, apart from supplying Chief Chen, only a few people are left to enjoy the "special supply".

Other comrades who used this medicinal diet all used ginseng available on the market, so the effect was naturally much worse.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. I've commanded so many people, and now I'll listen to your command for once.

But don’t tell your elder sister Fu about this, or she will come all the way from Sijiu City to kill me.”

He Yuzhu heard that Commander Chen's attitude had softened, but he didn't want to take it too seriously and checked the time on his watch.

"Okay, don't worry. It's almost time. I'll go to the cafeteria to cook for you and we can have a good meal together at noon."

When Commander Chen saw that he agreed, he felt relieved. After all, he didn't want his wife who was far away in Beijing to worry about him.

"Then it's settled. You can go to the cafeteria. Come to think of it, I'm kind of craving the food you cook."

He Yuzhu stood up and strode to the desk.

He deftly opened the gift package and took out a large premium sausage and some exquisite meat products.

"Commander, I don't know how much of this stuff will end up in your stomach. I might as well make some for you these days."

His actions were quite similar to Chief Chen's style, which made Chief Chen couldn't help laughing.

"You kid, you're using this trick on me!"

He did not reject He Yuzhu's kindness. He waved his hand pretending to be angry, but his face was full of smiles.

"Hurry up and take it to the cafeteria! How can you plan gifts for other people?"
