Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle slowly into the alley where the district police station was located and stopped when he saw the sign hanging next to the gate.

He quickly locked his bicycle aside and walked inside.

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped over the threshold, he saw a familiar face.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "Hey, it's Uncle Wu! Hello! I was worried that you would be transferred to another place and it would be difficult to see you again."

When Uncle Wu saw that the person coming was He Yuzhu, a smile appeared on his face.

He gently tapped him with his hand and said, "You are here, kid! Go straight in and find Xiao Zhang. He is inside."

He Yuzhu quickly bowed to thank Uncle Wu, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Uncle Wu respectfully.

Uncle Wu looked at him meaningfully, took the cigarette from him, put it to his ear, and waved at him: "Go in, kid!"

"Okay! You take a rest, I'll go in." He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, turned and walked towards the yard.

As soon as He Yuzhu walked into the yard, he slapped his forehead and laughed at himself.

He was so focused on chatting with Uncle Wu that he forgot to ask where the office was. Helplessly, he could only look around and find someone to ask.

Just at this moment, a young man holding a document walked out of the east wing. He Yuzhu saw this and quickened his pace to walk forward and asked, "Comrade, may I ask which office is Zhang's?"

The young man stopped and looked him over, then asked warily, "Comrade, who are you? What do you want from the director?"

"Comrade, my name is He Yuzhu, and my home is in Heizhima Hutong, Nanluoguxiang. Director Zhang asked me to come here today." He Yuzhu hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, the young man's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he said: "Oh! So you are He Yuzhu! Come with me!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Although He Yuzhu had doubts in his heart, he still followed. The two walked side by side and went inside.

"My name is Duan Gui, and I went to your yard this morning." The young man walking side by side suddenly spoke up.

When He Yuzhu heard his words, the doubts in his heart dissipated, and he responded with a smile: "Comrade Duan, hello!"

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the door. Duan Gui went forward and knocked on the door, and Zhang Deqing's familiar voice came from inside.

Duan Gui pushed open the door and led He Yuzhu into the office.

"Director!" He saluted Zhang Deqing, then walked forward and placed the documents in his hand on the desk. After saluting again, he turned and left.

Seeing that there was no one else in the office, He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang, who was this just now?"

Zhang Deqing smiled and pointed to a chair, asking him to sit down before talking. He turned around, picked up an enamel cup and poured a glass of water for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu stepped forward to take the cup of water and then sat down on the chair.

Zhang Deqing then slowly spoke: "That person just now was Xiao Duan, he is the son of one of my fallen comrades.

He was injured in the army not long ago and was discharged from the army. I specifically asked my old leader to bring him here. He hasn't changed his military habits yet, so you will see him saluting. "

"This is a good habit. Others want it but don't have it yet!" He Yuzhu praised him, knowing that Duan Gui seemed to be the one that Zhang Deqing would focus on training.

Zhang Deqing laughed when he heard He Yuzhu say this. He pointed at him and said, "Zhuzi, why don't you wait a few years and go to the army to train? With your physique, you look like a good candidate for the army."

When He Yuzhu heard Zhang Deqing say this, he didn't dare to take it as a joke. After all, it was hard to say whether he could change He Daqing's decision to go to Baocheng. If he couldn't change it, he would have to live with He Yushui.

"Uncle Zhang, it's hard to say what will happen in the next few years. I can't guarantee it now."

Zhang Deqing saw the hesitation in his heart, so he stopped forcing him and put the idea aside for the time being.

"Okay, let's wait two years. You know why I asked you to come here today, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded when he heard this: "Well, it should be the commendation thing you told me about last time."

"Yes, we have achieved great results in this cleanup operation. In addition to the I-Kuan Tao you reported, we have also investigated and dealt with a large number of reactionary organizations."

Zhang Deqing said this, picked up the cup and took a sip of water to calm his excited mood.

He Yuzhu thought of the exhibition he saw in Zhongshan Park in the morning. The shocking evidence of crimes still makes him feel frightened when he thinks of it now.

"Uncle Zhang, I know this. I went to see the exhibition this morning. The crimes of those scum are really unbelievable."

"Oh, did you go and see it today? Yes, those crimes are really shocking. If they had not been discovered in advance and dealt with in time, the consequences would be much more serious than they are now!" Zhang Deqing sighed.

"Well, I didn't expect the victims to be so miserable. I originally thought that they would just cheat some money at most, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel," He Yuzhu also echoed.

Zhang Deqing nodded and continued, "This commendation meeting is organized by the Municipal Bureau and is scheduled to be held in three days.

You should ask for leave in advance, come to my place on that day, and I will drive you to the Municipal Bureau on my sidecar."

"Okay, then I'll take a ride." When He Yuzhu heard that there was a free ride available, a happy smile appeared on his face.

He Yuzhu walked slowly into the courtyard in the afterglow of the setting sun. He parked his bicycle and reached out to take the tied chicken off the handlebars.

He hummed an unknown tune and began to prepare dinner.

He Yuzhu lit a fire and boiled water, then expertly slaughtered and processed the chicken. He also washed a pot of fresh potatoes and prepared to make a delicious potato stew with chicken.

The sound of pots and spoons colliding could be heard from the kitchen, and as the chicken and spices blended in the pot, the aroma gradually spread throughout the yard.

He Yuzhu saw that the potatoes and chicken nuggets were already cooked, so he took two porcelain bowls, scooped a spoonful into them, and added fried cabbage and steamed buns.

He held the bowl in both hands, walked to the kitchen door, and shouted to Yu Shui, "Yu Shui, go call the aunts to serve the food. You should stop playing, wash your hands and eat later."

"I got it, brother." After saying this, Yu Shui happily ran to each household to inform them.

The two little girls who played with her also ran home excitedly and told their family the news.

He Yuzhu walked to the backyard with the bowl in his hand. Passing by Xu Damao's door, he called out, "Da Mao, take a bowl and go get some food from me. Hurry!"

He first walked towards the deaf old lady's house and shouted outside the door: "Old lady, are you there? I am Zhuzi, bringing you some food."

"I'm here! Come in!" The voice of the deaf old lady came from inside.

He Yuzhu heard the sound and walked into the house. He saw that the house was clean and tidy. This was also the first time he entered the house of the deaf old lady.

He walked straight to the table and put the bowl on it: "Old lady, I put it on the table for you. Don't worry, don't drop it. I'm going to Mr. Zhang's house first."

"Okay! Thank you Zhuzi." The voice of the deaf old lady came from the side room.

"You're welcome, please eat first. I'll ask Yu Shui to get the bowl later." He Yuzhu said and walked out of the room.

At this time, the deaf old lady came into the living room from the side room, looking at He Yuzhu's disappearing back, wondering what she was thinking.

When He Yuzhu walked to the door of Zhang Baishu's house, he saw the old man already sitting on the chair.

"Hey, old man, please eat." Seeing this, He Yuzhu walked in quickly and placed the bowl on the table in front of Zhang Baishu.

Zhang Baishu nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started tasting, then waved at him.

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu bowed and went home to prepare food for each family.

As night falls, fragrant dishes are placed on the eight-immortals table in the He family's living room.

He Daqing sat at the table, looking at the sumptuous dishes, and asked He Yuzhu, "What's going on today?"

He Yuzhu's face was filled with smiles. He swallowed a mouthful of food and replied slowly, "Wait a few days and you'll know."
