Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The weather was not good on last week's rest day and it happened to rain, so He Yuzhu was forced to cancel his fishing plans.

He spent a whole day at home reading mechanical books, but it was of no use, and his interface skills and experience did not increase at all.

On this day off, He Yuzhu planned to go to the library to return books and see if there were any books related to fishing.

He Yuzhu was riding his bicycle leisurely through the alleys. When he passed the alley where the street government was located, his eyes were attracted by a busy scene.

I saw a group of people busy moving things in and out, with items piled up on the side of the road. It was obvious that they were about to move.

A sense of curiosity arose in He Yuzhu's heart. He slowed down, stopped by the roadside, set up the bicycle stand, and watched quietly.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Why did they start moving places out of the blue? I haven't heard of any big moves recently."

He Yuzhu watched the busy figures, trying to find out the reason for the move from their conversation. After a while, he saw a familiar figure.

I saw Uncle Wu and others carrying a heavy office desk and slowly walking out of the door.

He Yuzhu locked his bicycle, took the bag of books off the handlebars, and trotted towards the stairs.

Uncle Wu suddenly felt his hand lighten, and found that there was an extra hand raised next to him. He turned around and saw He Yuzhu's smiling face.

"Uncle Wu, I happened to meet you today. Let me, a young and strong man, lend a hand to you."

"You are good at taking advantage of opportunities~" Uncle Wu did not reject He Yuzhu's suggestion this time.

When Uncle Wu learned about He Yuzhu's meritorious performance, he felt that the young man was aware and was optimistic about his future.

Secondly, he had already retired due to injury, and this kind of heavy work would put a lot of pressure on his body.

"Okay! Just help me and look after these two books." He Yuzhu replied and handed the cloth bag in his hand to Uncle Wu, then turned around and started moving the table down the stairs.

Uncle Wu watched He Yuzhu walking away, opened the cloth bag and saw the professional books inside, and had a better impression of him.

He Yuzhu was shuttling back and forth in the courtyard, working very hard. All the staff members today also knew him.

Zhang Deqing stood under the porch, watching He Yuzhu working so hard, and waved at him.

When He Yuzhu saw Zhang Deqing calling him over, he apologized to the people around him before turning and walking towards the porch.

"Zhu Zi, why are you helping here today?"

"Hi, I'm taking a day off today. I was planning to go to the library to read some books, and I met you here when I passed by." He Yuzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered Zhang Deqing.

"After we finish moving here, you can go and do your own things. In the evening, wait for me at the entrance of the east alley and ride your bike with me." Zhang Deqing reminded He Yuzhu.

When He Yuzhu heard that Zhang Deqing wanted to take him to get to know the family, he hurriedly said, "Ah? I didn't bring a gift. Then I'll go buy something first."

Zhang Deqing waved his hand and refused, "No need, my family has food and drink. Zhuzi, I have to thank you for what you did last time."

He Yuzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Zhang Deqing: "Then let me add a dish. You can also try my cooking skills."

"Okay, that's it."

"Okay, then I'll go help first." He Yuzhu said and went back to work.

When He Yuzhu finally finished his work and walked out of the door carrying the cloth bag, he felt a sense of emptiness coming from his stomach. He looked up at the sky, but he didn't know the exact time.

He muttered to himself, "I must go to the Dashilan Henry Watch Shop to buy a pocket watch tomorrow, so that I won't always lose track of time when I'm out."

He Yuzhu touched his stomach, and it seemed that his breakfast had been consumed by the busyness just now. He decided to go home to fill his stomach first, and then go to the library to return the book.

He walked to the bicycle, unlocked it skillfully, stepped on the seat, and pedaled on his way home.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu came to the library. He looked down at the mechanical books in his hands and felt a little disappointed.

He sighed and said to himself, "It seems that I have to put this skill aside for now."

He Yuzhu walked into the library and came to the information desk. The staff sitting at the information desk was still the administrator from last time. He lowered his head and immersed himself in the sea of ​​books, as if he was isolated from the outside world.

He Yuzhu tapped the table lightly, interrupting his reading. He said to him, "Hello, I'm here to return the book."

The administrator didn't even look up this time, and responded in a flat voice: "Books, library card."

"What a guy! He doesn't even raise his head, he's still reading. Amazing!"

He Yuzhu looked at the old man in front of him who was absorbed in reading, and could only shake his head helplessly, and handed the book and library card in his hand to him.

The administrator took the book, checked it quickly, then skillfully stamped two stamps on the library card, quickly handed the card back to He Yuzhu, and went back to reading.

He Yuzhu gave up the idea of ​​leaving and asked, "Excuse me, does the library have any books about fishing?"

The administrator still didn't look up. He flipped through the book in his hand and replied, "There are books introducing fish farming in the Miscellaneous Notes section on the third floor. There is also a section about fish habits."

"Okay, thank you! I won't disturb you anymore, please continue watching." He Yuzhu said gratefully.

He Yuzhu followed the administrator's instructions and came to the Miscellaneous Notes Area D on the third floor. There were a wide variety of books here, many of which recorded knowledge about aquatic products.

He casually pulled out a book and saw that the words on the pages were all in classical Chinese. He looked at the other books on the bookshelf and planned to borrow a few to continue his research.

He Yuzhu picked out two books of interest from the bookshelf and walked to the information desk to register to borrow the books.

In the evening, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the entrance of the alley with a cloth bag filled with books hanging on the handlebars.

The other ingredients were not easy to carry, so I put two pounds of eggs into the bag. They were inexpensive but very practical items.

He Yuzhu waited for a while before he saw Zhang Deqing coming over on a bicycle. Zhang Deqing nodded at He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu followed him on his bicycle.

He rode for more than ten minutes and stopped at the gate of a yard.

"Zhu Zi, we're here. Come with me." Zhang Deqing said to He Yuzhu at the gate of the courtyard.

"Okay!" He Yuzhu got off the bicycle, pushed the bike and followed Zhang Deqing into the yard.

He Yuzhu walked in and looked around the yard. It was a quadrangle courtyard with a single entrance. There were ginkgo trees planted in the corners and the yard was well maintained.

"Lao Zhang, you're back!" As the voice fell, a middle-aged woman walked out from the east wing.

Zhang Deqing pointed at He Yuzhu and introduced him, "Ahui, he is Zhuzi."

"Zhu Zi, this is your Aunt Tao."

"Oh, you are Zhuzi! You are so handsome!" Tao Hui greeted He Yuzhu warmly when she saw him standing next to Zhang Deqing.

"Hello, Aunt Tao. It's really troublesome for you to come to your house today." He Yuzhu took off the cloth bag, took out the book and clamped it on the back seat of the bicycle, and handed the eggs to the other party.

"It's just a small token of my respect, please accept it, Aunt Tao."

Tao Hui looked at Zhang Deqing, and when he saw Zhang Deqing nod in agreement, she reached out to take the bag and said, "Zhu Zi, you are too polite. Don't do this again in the future."

"Look, I'm just talking here. Zhuzi, go to the living room with your uncle Zhang and wait for a while. I'll finish cooking and we'll have dinner soon."

"Aunt Tao, I promised to show off my cooking skills. Please take me to the kitchen and let me taste my cooking later." He Yuzhu parked the bicycle and said happily.

"Then I'll trouble you, Zhuzi. Lao Zhang came back at noon and told me about this. I scolded him. It's unreasonable to let guests cook."

"That doesn't make sense for me to come without a gift, right? Aunt Tao, just wait and see."

He Yuzhu followed her into the kitchen, and in order not to delay the meal, he directly made a plate of crabs with the eggs he brought.

He helped serve the dishes and sat around with Zhang Deqing and his wife to eat dinner.

Zhang Deqing and his wife praised the crabs highly. While tasting the food, they talked about the little things in life, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Zhang Deqing led He Yuzhu into the study, where the faint scent of tea filled the air.

The two of them sat on the rattan chairs in front of the desk, picked up the teacups in front of them, and savored the tea carefully.

Zhang Deqing put down his teacup, sighed softly, and said with a hint of emotion on his face: "Zhu Zi, the street government has been abolished, and today we are going to relocate some departments."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was stunned at first, then he reacted and asked in surprise: "Ah? What about you?"

He originally thought that he was just changing his office location, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Zhang Deqing smiled and nodded, and raised his teacup to He Yuzhu, drinking tea instead of wine: "Zhuzi, I want to thank you very much.

Because of what happened last time, I was assigned to the police station in charge of this area during this change."

He Yuzhu quickly raised his teacup and responded, "Uncle Zhang, you are too kind. I just provided information."

"Does your position count as a promotion?" he asked curiously. He didn't know much about officialdom, so he was a little confused.

Zhang Deqing was delighted when he heard this, and nodded, saying, "Yes, he will be transferred to be the director, which is a position of real power."

He Yuzhu was also happy for Zhang Deqing after hearing this. Although he didn't understand the ins and outs of this, he knew that this was a big improvement.

He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Zhang! At your age, you still have a lot of room for improvement."

Zhang Deqing knew that he had passed this hurdle and that there were greater possibilities in the future.

Thinking of this, he happily picked up the teacup and took a sip, then told He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, the core members of the cult have been arrested.

The next step is large-scale propaganda to expose the true face of the cult to the masses and persuade the misled people to return.

When the time comes, you will be commended at the commendation meeting. I am reminding you now, so be mentally prepared. "

"Ah? I still have to attend the commendation meeting?" He Yuzhu exclaimed in surprise. He thought he was just given a reward and that was it, but he didn't expect that he could even go to the scene.

Zhang Deqing saw the surprise on He Yuzhu's face and explained with a smile: "Zhuzi, you are the first one to discover and report it. This way we can put an end to this cancer in advance.

The leaders above gave instructions, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to tell you about this today.”

"Hehe! I thought I just reported the news and didn't make any great contribution. I didn't expect that I would be awarded the prize in person!" He Yuzhu said happily.

The recognition in this era is of great value. I didn't expect to have such good luck. I really have to thank Jia Zhang.

"Okay, you should go back early. There are still many enemy agents in the city. It's not safe to go back too late."

He Yuzhu looked at the clock on the wall of the study and saw that it was indeed getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Deqing.

"Uncle Zhang, I'll go back first. I'll visit you later."

Zhang Deqing stood up and walked outside, saying, "Okay, but you are not allowed to bring anything!"

"I'll bring some ingredients and cook by myself, is that okay?" He Yuzhu said in a rogue manner.

"You! But you are really good at it. When I entertain my comrades in arms in the future, I will ask you to help me prepare the banquet."

Zhang Deqing thought that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed good, so he wanted to let his comrades get to know him and make more friends.

"Then it's settled. You told me in advance!" He Yuzhu got on his bicycle at the door. "You go back. I won't be late this time. I'll be there soon."

"Well, if you encounter any problems, just find the patrolman. Go ahead!"

Zhang Deqing stood at the door, watching He Yuzhu riding away on his bicycle. He thought for a while before turning back to the study.

He sat on the chair in the study, closed his eyes, and began to imagine his future work and life.
