Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Since the last visit to Zhang Baishu, He Yuzhu has obtained several large books.

He now has one more thing he must do every day, which is to read late into the night.

The abstruse content made him feel overwhelmed, and the mental torture was unbearable.

If it weren't for the spiritual improvement that helped He Yuzhu improve his memory and comprehension, even if he had read these books in a hurry, he would have never known how long it would take.

When He Yuzhu gets tired of reading, he will stop and draw picture books to relax.

He looked at the picture book on the table that was about to be completed, and a sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. He had an idea: "It seems that I have to find a publishing house to submit it to and see if it can be successful."

That day, He Yuzhu finished a busy day and returned to the courtyard as usual.

As soon as I arrived at the hanging flower gate, I heard a noise coming from the yard.

I saw women and children from various families gathered in the yard. Aunt Qian stood in the crowd, looking energetic, which was very different from her usual self.

He Yuzhu's eyes swept through the crowd, and suddenly a strange young man appeared in his sight.

He was holding Zhao Xinrui in his arms, wearing a military uniform, exuding an extraordinary temperament.

"Aunt Qian, what good news did you get today? You look so happy, you can't even hide your happiness!"

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the crowd and greeted Aunt Qian with a smile.

When Aunt Qian saw He Yuzhu, her smile became even brighter and she waved at him: "Zhuzi, come here quickly! Your brother Cheng is finally back!"

"Brother Cheng?! The eldest of the Zhao family?" He Yuzhu's heart moved and he recalled the vague face in his memory.

Zhao Xincheng heard Aunt Qian's call and turned his gaze towards He Yuzhu. He held Xiaorui in his arms and strode towards He Yuzhu.

"Zhuzi, I didn't expect you to have grown so tall. When I left, you were still a little kid!" Zhao Xincheng walked up to He Yuzhu, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

He Yuzhu quickly set up the tripod and held Zhao Xincheng's hand: "Brother Cheng, hello! You are finally back. Aunt Qian has been talking about you a lot."

After hearing this, Zhao Xincheng showed a trace of guilt on his face. He reached out and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder without saying anything more.

At this time, Xiao Rui, who was in Zhao Xincheng's arms, called out sweetly, "Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu smiled at her, took out a candy out of habit and put it into Xiaorui's hand.

Zhao Xincheng looked at He Yuzhu's skillful movements and knew that his little sister had eaten a lot of the candies that He Yuzhu fed her, and he felt more intimate with He Yuzhu.

He put Xiao Rui on the ground and patted her head: "Xiao Rui, go play over there by yourself!"

He watched Xiao Rui run off to play with the little girls in the yard, then turned to He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, didn't you go to school?"

He Yuzhu heard his question, retracted his gaze from the military uniform, and replied: "Yes! Brother Cheng, the past two years were too chaotic. At the beginning of the year, my father asked me to go to the kitchen of Fengze Garden."

"Oh, you also want to be a chef like Uncle He! Now is a new era, and the people are in charge. Being a chef is also serving the people, so do a good job." Zhao Xincheng encouraged.

"Hehe, the cook won't starve in a famine. It still has its benefits."

"Haha! Yes, your optimism is great!" After hearing He Yuzhu's answer, Zhao Xincheng appreciated him more.

Zhao Xincheng has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has seen many capable people, but those who can achieve success are those who have a clear understanding of themselves.

What's more, He Daqing is a good cook, and He Yuzhu also has development prospects in the cooking field.

"Brother Cheng, are you back for vacation? Or are you back from demobilization?" He Yuzhu pointed at the military uniform he was wearing and asked Zhao Xincheng.

"I've been away from home for so many years and haven't taken care of my parents. This time the local area needs a large number of people, so I applied for a transfer back home."

Zhao Xincheng said this with a sigh, his face revealing his reluctance to leave the army.

"Brother Cheng, it's good to be back! No matter where you are, you can contribute to building the motherland." He Yuzhu comforted him.

Zhao Xincheng glanced at He Yuzhu with a little surprise, thinking that He Yuzhu is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, and he actually has such awareness?

He couldn't help but be moved by his love for talent, and suggested to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you are really good! Are you interested in working with me?"

"Ah? Why did you invite me?" He Yuzhu was also surprised.

He Yuzhu asked, "I wonder which unit Brother Cheng will be assigned to this time?"

"Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, how about the pillars? I'll consider it." Zhao Xincheng was quite proud that he could be assigned to this important factory.

He Yuzhu bowed and said, "Brother Cheng, congratulations! It seems that you have worked hard in the past few years!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xincheng felt even closer to He Yuzhu.

When others heard about his unit, they would just congratulate him for getting a good job, but He Yuzhu thought about the price he paid to get these.

These words touched his heart directly, and the bitterness and pain of these years came flooding back to his mind.

Zhao Xincheng suppressed his emotional fluctuations, reached out and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Zhuzi, if you need help in the future, come to me directly."

"Okay, Brother Cheng."

Zhao Xincheng and He Yuzhu finished their greetings. He clapped his hands and said loudly to everyone, "Dear neighbors and elders, to thank you for your support over the years, we will set up a banquet tomorrow night. Please come and join us!"

"Boss Zhao is so polite! It's only natural for neighbors to help each other!" Yi Zhonghai said seriously in the crowd.

When the other people in the courtyard heard what Yi Zhonghai said, they all echoed him.

"Fuck! When did Yi Zhonghai come here?" He Yuzhu was startled when he saw Yi Zhonghai suddenly speak.

When Zhao Dezhu saw the situation in the courtyard, he quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, listen to me! This is the first time my eldest son has come back in so many years, and it is also a big happy event for our family. Everyone, come together and share in the joy."

When the people in the courtyard saw Zhao Dezhu come out to speak, they all said they would definitely come, and then they dispersed.

He Yuzhu accidentally laughed when he saw Zhao Xincheng's relieved look. He didn't expect that he would be held back by Yi Zhonghai as soon as he came back.

Zhao Xincheng saw He Yuzhu smiling out of the corner of his eye and immediately realized that he had seen how he had lost his composure just now.

He sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that he was careless and didn't dodge, so he was blocked by Yi Zhonghai.

"Brother Cheng, I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Do you want me to help you prepare the banquet?" He Yuzhu suggested to Zhao Xincheng.

Zhao Xincheng looked at He Yuzhu with some confusion. Shouldn't he still be an apprentice at this age?

"That's great, Zhuzi! I won't be polite with you. The cooking skills of ordinary chefs can't catch up with yours."

Zhao Dezhu, who was walking by, happened to hear this. Knowing that his eldest son was not clear about He Yuzhu's level, he quickly agreed.

He Yuzhu looked at Zhao Dezhu and nodded: "Uncle Zhao, of course no problem. Then let's discuss the menu first so that we can prepare the food tomorrow."

"Okay! Zhuzi, come into the house with me and talk."
