The next day, just after dawn, He Yuzhu finished his breakfast and rode his bicycle to school with He Yushui. Today was the first day of the new semester.
Just as I sent He Yushui to the school gate, an uncertain voice came from behind and asked, "Are you Yushui's brother Comrade He Yuzhu? You are so amazing! It's been reported in the newspaper!"
He Yuzhu turned around and found that it was He Yushui's new head teacher, Teacher Yang. When he brought He Yushui to the school to register two days ago, the two had a brief exchange of greetings.
"Teacher Yang, I am He Yushui's brother He Yuzhu. We met during the last registration!" He Yuzhu scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "As for the newspapers you mentioned, I'm not very clear."
Teacher Yang quickly took out a newspaper from his bag, pointed at it and said, "Look here, isn't that you? Chinese chef He Yuzhu's cooking skills have won praise from the expert team of the Bear Country!"
Next to the news report was a photo of He Yuzhu cooking.
He Yuzhu took a closer look and found that it was indeed him!
It turned out that he was so engrossed in cooking that day that he didn't even notice that he had been photographed by reporters.
He Yuzhu nodded helplessly and admitted: "Teacher Yang, this photo is indeed me."
I have to admit that there are differences in the level of journalists' photography skills. The photo in the newspaper in front of me is clearer than the photo of him taking the risk last time.
"Wow! You are so outstanding! This is a huge honor!" Teacher Yang was very excited, as if she had become a fan of He Yuzhu. "And I remember you seemed to have been in the newspaper before, and it seemed that you bravely fought against criminals."
Teacher Yang had just graduated from college and was assigned to Hongxing Primary School. He was directly appointed by the school as the head teacher of He Yushui's class.
At this time, she turned to look at He Yushui and stroked her head gently, "Yushui, you must study hard! Look at your brother, he is so outstanding, you must not hold him back!"
Hearing Teacher Yang's praise for his brother, He Yushui happily agreed: "Teacher Yang, don't worry, I will study hard and become as good as my brother."
Hearing He Yushui's words, He Yuzhu smiled secretly in his heart. As a brother, it feels really good to be able to have a positive influence on his sister.
Principal Chen, who was not far away, heard every word of the conversation between He Yuzhu and Teacher Yang. He did not expect that such a young man could have such excellent cooking skills and was praised by foreign experts. He exclaimed: "This He Yuzhu is really an excellent chef!"
At this time, Yan Bugui appeared out of nowhere and came to the principal and seconded the proposal: "Principal Chen, He Yuzhu and I live in the same compound. When he was a child, we could see that he had extraordinary potential! Now it seems that he is indeed very promising!"
As Yan Bugui spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face.
Hearing this, Principal Chen was a little surprised and asked tentatively: "Since He Yuzhu is in the same courtyard as you, can we invite him to be a chef in our school?"
"The food in our school cafeteria is really not appetizing!"
"Our Dean's position is still vacant. If you can handle this, it will be a great achievement. I can also consider you for the position of Dean of Studies!"
The meaning of Principal Chen's words was very clear. As long as Yan Bugui could get He Yuzhu to work as a chef at Red Star Primary School, his promotion and salary increase would be just around the corner.
Yan Bugui was in a good mood immediately, and he patted his chest and promised: "Principal, don't worry, it's just a small matter, I will handle it for you right away!"
After saying that, Yan Bugui quickly ran towards He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was about to leave the school when he saw Yan Bugui running up to him and gasping for breath. He asked in confusion, "Yan Bugui, what are you doing here?"
At this moment, Yan Bugui is no longer the mediator of the courtyard, and He Yuzhu no longer needs to call him Third Uncle, he can just call him by his name.
Yan Bugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, calmed his breathing, and said with a smile: "He Yuzhu, long time no see, how have you been recently?"
He Yuzhu saw that this guy's eyes were not right, and wondered if he was trying to take advantage of him again, so he said perfunctorily: "Yan Bugui, now we are no longer neighbors in the same courtyard, and we are not relatives. How I live has nothing to do with you."
At this point, He Yuzhu raised a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth: "Besides, our friendship wasn't so good before, right?"
As soon as He Yuzhu's sarcastic words came out, Yan Bugui's smile instantly froze on his face. Seeing that Teacher Yang was still there, Yan Bugui looked very embarrassed.
He originally thought that He Yuzhu would give him some face, but now it seems that is not the case.
Yan Bugui was about to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, but thinking of this opportunity for promotion and salary increase, he suppressed his anger, smiled again and said, "He Yuzhu, don't say that."
"We did have some misunderstandings before, but we haven't had any arguments in recent days, right? After all, we used to live in the same courtyard, and these old things have long disappeared."
He paused here deliberately, glanced at He Yuzhu to confirm that he did not intend to refute his words, and continued: "I came to you to bring you a good thing."
"Do you know our Red Star Primary School Principal Chen? He admires your cooking skills very much and hopes that you can join the Red Star Primary School restaurant and cook for the school."
"Of course, the salary and benefits will definitely satisfy you."
Teacher Yang on the side was also looking at He Yuzhu expectantly, because the food in the school cafeteria was really average and good chefs were scarce. If He Yuzhu was willing to come, it would be a godsend.
Upon hearing Yan Bugui's invitation, He Yuzhu's slightly sarcastic expression instantly turned into speechlessness.
This guy actually made such a ridiculous request, he's just like a toad trying to climb onto the instep of a swan - not only annoying but also disgusting.
It's a complete joke to say that the treatment will make him satisfied. Their school has always been stingy.
He Yuzhu said rather dissatisfiedly: "You can ignore my ridicule and continue to endure it until now, aren't you just looking for an excuse to talk nonsense to me?"
"It seems that you know that I have resigned from Fengze Garden."
"But Huizhen and I are busy running the Xu's Tavern right now, so how can we have the spare time to cook for your school?"
"Then tell me how much the salary is? Didn't you say it would satisfy me?"
Yan Bugui quickly explained: "Principal Chen invited you sincerely just now. The current salary of the school chef is only 20 yuan a month. If you take over, the school will provide 25 yuan a month."
Hearing that the salary was so low, He Yuzhu sneered: "It seems that your concept of poverty has constrained your thinking!"
"How much do you think I made a month as the head chef at Fengze Garden?"
Seeing Yan Bugui hesitating and not answering, He Yuzhu said directly, "I work as a chef in Fengze Garden and earn 240 yuan a month! I really don't care about the little money your school has! And the key point is, what obligation do I have to agree to your request, Yan Bugui?"
Yan Bugui was immediately furious: "He Yuzhu! What do you mean by this?"
"Don't take money so seriously. You should be proud of being able to serve the future of the country. Everyone has the obligation and responsibility to contribute to the country!"
He Yuzhu saw Yan Fugui trying to persuade him with moral theory again, but he was not moved at all and responded impatiently: "I can't communicate with you, a moral saint. Anyway, I won't agree!"
"Don't waste your words today. If you really care about education and have moral integrity, then don't take the school's salary to teach! This is also a way for you to contribute to the country's education cause!"
He Yuzhu sneered and turned away after saying this.
Yan Bugui's face turned as red as liver, and he was about to scold angrily, but in the blink of an eye he found that He Yuzhu had already left on his bicycle.
Yan Bugui could only walk back to Principal Chen awkwardly: "Principal, you may need to reconsider this matter! Although He Yuzhu showed some interest in working as a chef in our school restaurant today, he has not yet decided whether to join. Give me some time, I promise..."
However, before he could finish, Principal Chen stretched out his hand and interrupted Yan Bugui: "Yan Bugui, do you look down on everyone? Do you think I can't hear what you say because I'm old?"
Principal Chen sneered at Yan Bugui's words and actions just now: "You were talking to He Yuzhu very loudly just now, how could I not hear it? I see that you have had a lot of grudges with He Yuzhu. You have offended him before, and now you want to invite him out. It's really stupid!"
After Principal Chen scolded Yan Bugui, he left.
After walking two steps, Principal Chen suddenly turned back and warned Yan Bugui, "I have received a report that you are often absent from school and have left your post without permission. After verifying with other teachers in the school, it is true. This time you will be fined ten yuan! If you do it again, there will be no discussion and you will be expelled directly! You better take care of yourself!"
After sending He Yushui to school, He Yuzhu headed for Xu's Tavern.
As usual, Mr. Niu came to the tavern early in the morning, holding a newspaper in his hand and making a sound of admiration. When he saw He Yuzhu walk into the store, he quickly approached and said:
"He Yuzhu, you looked so handsome when you cooked for foreigners yesterday!"
"The dishes you cook are so good that foreigners are moved to tears after eating them!"
Having said this, he shook the newspaper in his hand as if to show off.
With the echo from Pian'erye at the same table, everyone sighed: "Now we should cherish the side dishes that He Yuzhu made for us. Who knows if he will be recruited as a state banquet chef one day? By then, it may not be so easy for us to taste He Yuzhu's cooking skills!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the diners burst into laughter.
