He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

He Yuzhu looked at everyone in the kitchen looking at him and said, "You can take the leftovers back, but only after everyone has finished cooking. Also, the things in the warehouse must not be moved, and don't be too ostentatious, understand?"

At that time, the natural disaster had just happened and everyone was having a hard time. If you bring some back, the children at home can have more to eat.

But because they could only take after He Yuzhu had taken the lead, they only took very little back: "Thank you, Master He."

He Yuzhu walked out of the steel rolling mill with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he recalled that when he just came here, the deaf old lady in the backyard seemed to have a loss of appetite.

In He Yuzhu's memory, the deaf old lady was the best person to He Yuzhu in Siheyuan, even to the point of being nice to him. Unlike Yi Zhonghai, who was kind with a purpose, the deaf old lady just treated He Yuzhu as her own grandson.

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking about how to improve the food for the deaf old lady, an old man with a hunched back came up to He Yuzhu and said, "Young man."

He Yuzhu was startled, but he quickly recovered: "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

In this era, it was not allowed to sell fish privately, so the old man had to sneakily open the small wooden box at the back. He Yuzhu got closer and saw that it was a big fish.

"Young man, do you want some fish? I just caught this today. You can buy it with money or exchange it for food coupons. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu looked at the fish in the box, which were still alive and kicking. Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to improve the old lady's diet? "Uncle, how can I buy some?"

The old man looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around: "Two cents a pound, this fish is at least six pounds. I'll give you five pounds, and you just need to give me one dollar."

He Yuzhu knew at a glance that the fish was wild and definitely weighed more than six pounds. He Yuzhu didn't say anything else and took out a dollar: "Uncle, I want this fish."

The old man was very responsible. He tied the fish up before handing it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu brought the fish back to the courtyard, and just as he entered the front yard, he saw the third uncle Yan Bugui fiddling with his flowers. In fact, fiddling with his flowers on the surface was nothing more than seeing what the neighbors brought back and whether there was any opportunity to get money from them.

Yan Bugui had sharp eyes and immediately saw the big fish in He Yuzhu's hand. He wanted to call him "Shazhu" at first, but then he remembered what he said in the morning: "Zhuzi, the fish you bought today is big enough. It's troublesome to clean it up. It's just right to ask your third aunt to help you clean it up."

But Yan Bugui was thinking that as long as He Yuzhu asked him to clean up, not only would all the fish meat inside the fish be his, but even if he left a few pieces of fish meat, he wouldn't know.

How could He Yuzhu not understand his thoughts? But actually, Yan Bugui had no major problems except that he was stingy. After all, Yan Bugui was the first person in the courtyard to buy a bicycle and a TV.

"Uncle, you know this too. I'm a chef myself, so I know how to prepare fish. There's no need to trouble Aunt."

Yan Bugui looked at the fish in He Yuzhu's hand and thought that He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed good. The fish he cooked was better than his own, and he had tasted it before: "Zhuzi, I have a bottle of good Erguotou. That's the grain wine I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative some time ago. It's a good wine. Let's drink some."

He Yuzhu understood Third Uncle's thoughts and really didn't want to drink the wine mixed with water. Fortunately, the wine: "No need, Third Uncle, my throat has been a little uncomfortable recently. Besides, this fish is for the deaf old lady in the backyard to replenish her body. I'm meeting you, Third Uncle."

After that, He Yuzhu left without paying any attention to him.

Yan Bugui didn't expect that He Yuzhu would give him face twice that day: "This stinky boy, sooner or later, when you fall into my hands again, you will see how I deal with you."

He Yuzhu knew that he still had a crisis waiting for him, but he was afraid of his predecessor He Yuzhu, not himself, so he picked up the fish and went to the backyard.

As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu washing clothes as usual. She said she was washing clothes, but it was just a cover. Her real purpose was just to wait for He Yuzhu's lunch box.

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to Qin Huairu, after all, she was a black lotus. But Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu and trotted to him.

Although He Yuzhu, the kitchen chef at the steel mill, didn't give him face, what else could he do? Without his food, how could his own stick grow? "Zhuzi, why did you come back so late today?"

As he spoke, he looked at He Yuzhu's hand, but did not find the lunch box.

But he saw the fish in He Yuzhu's hand.

He Yuzhu really didn't want to ruin his good mood of eating fish: "Master Qin, what can I do for you?"

Qin Huairu panicked when she heard He Yuzhu calling her Master Qin, but she quickly reacted: "What did you call me?"

He Yuzhu ignored her and continued walking towards the backyard: "I call you Master Qin. If not Master Qin, what should I call you? Can I call you Jia Qinshi? That's fine too."

Qin Huairu suddenly realized that she was angry with her, but she didn't know why she was angry: "Zhu Zi, why are you angry with me?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't bring a lunch box but bought a fish, he said, "Bang Geng has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. You are really thoughtful."

But Qin Huairu was thinking: "You are such a fool. You made me lose face at the steel mill, and you thought I could forgive you just because you are a fish. If you don't get a month's salary this time, don't even think about touching my hand again. I won't pay any attention to you."

As he spoke, he prepared to pick up the fish.

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to hide and said, "Jia Qinshi, this is robbery. I prepared this fish for the deaf old lady in the backyard to nourish her body. Are you going to steal the old lady's things?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu ignored Qin Huairu and walked towards the backyard.

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu's face and knew that she would not get any fish today, but she still did not give up: "Zhuzi, where is today's lunch box?"

"No." He Yuzhu said unhappily.

Qin Huairu knew that her son Banggeng had become a picky eater and would make trouble without He Yuzhu's lunch box. But she didn't dare to say anything because she would need He Yuzhu's help in the future.

"Zhu Zi, it's okay if you didn't bring it today, but don't forget it tomorrow. The three kids depend on your lunch box for nutrition, especially Bang Geng. He's really eating me out of money."

Seeing that He Yuzhu ignored her, Qin Huairu was a little angry. But in the past, she just pretended to be angry, but this time she didn't turn around: "Zhuzi, Banggeng has always called you silly uncle."

He Yuzhu couldn't stand Qin Huairu's mumbling behind him: "Master Qin, I may not have explained it clearly just now, and you may not have heard it clearly. The steel mill kitchen has a rule that does not allow you to bring food home. I want to set an example, so I won't bring food back anymore. Do you understand, Jia Qinshi?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu took the fish and went to the backyard, ignoring what Qin Huairu said behind him.
