Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

"Although it may be abrupt for me to do this, I still want to ask you if you are willing to marry me?" He Yuzhu asked while gazing at Xu Huizhen's eyes affectionately.

"Okay." The once straightforward Xu Huizhen now acted like a shy girl and responded with her head down.

Love is really an incredible magic that brings two people's hearts closer.

As they were chatting, they arrived at Xu Huizhen's door. Suddenly, when they saw the door, Xu Huizhen's expression revealed a hint of worry.

Noticing Xu Huizhen's change, He Yuzhu asked hurriedly: "What happened, Huizhen?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some unhappy things." Xu Huizhen shook her head slightly and explained slowly.

Looking at He Yuzhu's concerned eyes, Xu Huizhen finally slowly told him about her worries: because her own tavern inherited the wine-making skills from her ancestors, business has always been good.

But I don’t know what happened recently. Maybe they were envied by the neighboring pub, so they adopted a low-price strategy.

The price of wine was even much lower than the cost of brewing, so much so that guests all went to Lingju's tavern to buy cheap wine, and Xu Huizhen's tavern business was declining.

"Don't you think that selling grain wine at this price will definitely result in a loss? What on earth are they trying to achieve by running the winery like this?" Xu Huizhen asked doubtfully.

This is nothing more than price competition and monopoly. After they take over your business, they will just raise the price of their wine.

This is a poor business practice!

He Yuzhu smiled coldly in his heart and said, "It's okay, I will help you think of a way to deal with them."

In fact, after thinking about it, He Yuzhu had already come up with a strategy to deal with the situation, and then he gently comforted Xu Huizhen.

Although Xu Huizhen didn't quite believe that chef He Yuzhu would have any good ideas, after all, He Yuzhu was not in the winemaking industry, but she still felt very relieved when she saw He Yuzhu's sincere and caring words.

At this moment, the door of Xu Huizhen's house suddenly opened, and the person standing in front of the door happened to be her future father-in-law, Xu Yuanshan.

"My dear daughter, why let the guests stand outside the house? Bring them in and have some tea." Looking at the scene of the two holding hands, Xu Yuanshan said jokingly.

Seeing his future father-in-law, He Yuzhu hurried forward to greet him: "Hello, Uncle Xu!"

Okay, let’s go inside and talk.” Xu Yuanshan said with a smile, and then walked straight into the house.

He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Huizhen, and when he saw her nod in agreement, he followed her into the room.

After entering the living room, several people sat down. Xu Yuanshan asked the key question first: "How far have you two come in your relationship?"

When He Yuzhu was thinking about how to answer, Xu Huizhen interrupted him and said, "Dad, why are you asking this?"

"Okay, okay, let's put it another way."

Xu Yuanshan continued, "He Yuzhu, when do you want to formally propose to my family to marry my precious daughter?"

After hearing these words, Xu Huizhen was confused and stood there in a daze.

The previous question had already made her feel ashamed, and now her father's question was even more direct.

He Yuzhu was also speechless by this question. After a moment of silence, he answered carefully: "Uncle Xu, if you agree, I actually want to marry your daughter right now. I am willing to act immediately."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanshan did not answer He Yuzhu, but looked at Xu Huizhen beside him: "My dear daughter, what do you think?"

"Of course I'll follow my father's arrangements." Xu Huizhen came back to her senses at this time and laughed heartily.

Xu Yuanshan shook his head and looked at his generous daughter helplessly: "Hey! You clearly mean that I am willing to do it!"

Then he said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you see, my daughter is willing to marry you. Since both of you are willing, I have no objection. But as the saying goes, it's better to marry someone of equal status. My Xu family is not bad! If you want to marry my daughter, I have only one condition: you must bring 2,000 yuan to get engaged."

When Xu Huizhen learned about the betrothal gift her father asked for He Yuzhu, she was shocked and said, "Dad, it's not like we don't have 2,000 yuan! How did you ask He Yuzhu to raise such a large sum?"

She didn't understand. His father should know that He Yuzhu only earns 60 yuan a month, and he has to support his younger sister. It will take at least four years to save 2,000 yuan! "

Xu Huizhen felt that what his father did was a little unreasonable. After all, his father knew the He family's situation very well, so why would he make such an unreasonable request?

In contrast to Xu Huizhen, He Yuzhu was much calmer.

He patted Xu Huizhen's hand to comfort her, then stood up and said respectfully to Xu Yuanshan: "Thank you very much for your understanding and support, Uncle Xu. I will do my best to save up 2,000 yuan as soon as possible to propose marriage."

Xu Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I look forward to your performance."

When He Yuzhu observed all this, he knew the time had come, so he said goodbye to Xu's father and daughter and left.

……

Five days passed like a flash.

During these few days, every morning, He Yuzhu would practice horse stance in the yard. Apparently, the clear spring water was very helpful in improving his physique, because now his temples were slightly protruding, showing that he had truly entered the door of martial arts.

After sending his sister to school, he rode his bike to the grain station.

Not long after, Stationmaster Liu, who was basking in the sun at the entrance of the grain station, saw He Yuzhu coming on a bicycle.

When the two met, Stationmaster Liu took He Yuzhu to his office without hesitation and said enthusiastically, "Brother Zhuzi, this is a rare Dahongpao. Even I only have this one. I give it to you."

Stationmaster Liu's enthusiasm and welcome to He Yuzhu even exceeded that of his biological father. The reason was that ever since he met He Yuzhu, he had always completed his grain-collecting tasks on time and in full.

Seeing that it was precious tea, He Yuzhu quickly became polite: "Stationmaster Liu, you are so polite. I can't take away your favorite!"

However, Stationmaster Liu resolutely handed the Dahongpao tea box to He Yuzhu and said seriously: "That is what I promised you last time, you can't be careless. It was not easy for me to get this Dahongpao tea, so it is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it no matter what. Otherwise, I, your brother, will be angry." At the end, he deliberately put on an angry look.

Faced with Stationmaster Liu's repeated insistence, He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and accepted the Dahongpao.

Then He Yuzhu asked Stationmaster Liu: "I wonder if your grain station will collect wheat? My relatives have just harvested a batch of wheat. It's the end of the year now, and I want to sell it and give the money to the villagers so that they can have a happy new year!"

Through experiments in the consciousness space over the past few days, He Yuzhu found out that it takes three days of clear spring water to make ten acres of wheat fully ripe.

He harvested twice in total. Since one acre of land can yield 500 kilograms of wheat, two batches were equivalent to harvesting 20 acres of wheat. The total weight of the harvested wheat reached 10,000 kilograms, or five tons.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Stationmaster Liu agreed without hesitation: "We will take it, no matter how much!"

Stationmaster Liu then asked, "Brother Zhuzi, how much wheat does your relative have to sell? I know you are a person with good things.

Although soybeans are gone now, this wheat is very important to our grain station! "

"I heard from my relatives that it weighs about five tons, or ten thousand kilograms." He Yuzhu responded with a smile.

"The price of wheat is slightly higher than that of soybeans. It's six cents per pound. Please wait a moment. I'll go to the finance department to get the cash for you." With that, Stationmaster Liu turned and left the room.

He Yuzhu was secretly delighted with the higher purchase price. His heart was filled with desire for wealth and a dowry - the wish to marry Xu Huizhen.

"Based on the calculation of ten thousand kilograms of wheat, the total is six hundred yuan." Stationmaster Liu, who had returned, handed over an envelope. In this way, the cash deposit in He Yuzhu's consciousness space reached one thousand six hundred and twenty-eight yuan.

Then he suggested: "How about I help you arrange a truck to go to the countryside to transport wheat?"

He Yuzhu cautiously asked, "Stationmaster Liu, can you lend me a truck? I want to drive the truck myself to haul the wheat."

He Yuzhu does not need to go with a truck driver to avoid the possibility of leaking the secrets of the consciousness space. "

However, when He Yuzhu mentioned that he knew how to drive a truck, Stationmaster Liu was delighted and had other ideas.

Stationmaster Liu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Brother Zhuzi, are you interested in working as a purchaser at my grain station?"

"Be a purchasing agent?" When He Yuzhu heard the invitation from the grain station manager, he was a little surprised for a moment, and then he felt very happy.

This job as a purchasing agent is really a good job. Not only does the grain station have close relations with all the communes in the countryside, but there are also many opportunities to reap benefits.

The most important thing is that the position of purchasing agent is almost the most suitable job for He Yuzhu!

What bothers him now is that every time he sells grain, he has to worry about whether his consciousness space will be exposed.

Now that I have the identity of a buyer, I can just do some internal operations from my left hand to my right hand! This is a perfect way to conceal the consciousness space!

Suddenly, He Yuzhu expressed his concerns: "Stationmaster Liu, you know I am still the second chef at Fengze Garden. The boss of Fengze Garden just promoted me to the second chef position. If I resign like this, I will betray the trust of the boss of Fengze Garden."

"If I work at Fengzeyuan and come to the grain station at the same time, there will be a certain amount of time pressure!"

What he actually wanted to say was to find out how much the grain stationmaster was looking forward to having him be a buyer, and this was also a real concern.

In addition, Master Zhang Jianguo and his senior brother Liu Wenlong, and even the chefs in the kitchen, came to help solve the issue in the courtyard not long ago.

Now that I have a more ideal job opportunity, am I, He Yuzhu, just going to walk away like that? This is not He Yuzhu's style.
