Siheyuan: Cooking journey

On the eve of returning,

He Yuzhu is flipping through European and American magazines to learn about the popular elements there.

At this time, the hotel phone rang.

"He Sang, it's me, Hisayama Mitsuki. I heard that you're leaving tomorrow. May I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

"By the way, I have a few friends who would like to meet you, do you mind?"

"If you mind, I'll turn it down..."

Mitsuki Hisayama is one of the amateur players arranged by the Dongying side in the friendly match. He is a fairly handsome young man.

He defeated a 7th dan player, which brought some comfort to the fragile national pride of the Japanese. However, when faced with a stronger opponent, they immediately sent out a 9th dan player, which resulted in Mitsuki Hisayama not even having the chance to play. He could only politely help pour tea for three days.

He Yuzhu did not reject his approach, and the two of them could be considered familiar with each other.

The reason why he didn't refuse was because of the surname "Jiushan".

In Japan, apart from the increasingly decreasing number of left-wing youths who are being suppressed, the Hisayama family is the most friendly to the Red Country.

After thinking about it,

He Yuzhu accepted the invitation.

I was a bit bored after staying in the hotel for two days, so I took this opportunity to go out for a walk, let Guangshu, a local, lead the way, and buy some rare things.

As we all know, in addition to Victoria's Secret, there are indeed a lot of things from Japan.

It's a rare trip to Japan, so I have to buy some things to bring back.

the next day.

After returning from Japan.

The Go team received a warm welcome.

He Yuzhu did not participate much and handed the reporting matter over to Deputy Captain Zeng. He then left quickly. After all, he had not seen his two precious daughters for six days and missed them very much.

But he didn't go straight home.

Instead, I went to the hotel first.

Since that night,

Lou Xiao'e took Sisi to live in the hotel and refused to go back to the courtyard house no matter what.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to run back and forth.

After get off work, I went to the hotel to see Sisi.

Wait until it gets a little darker before going home.

to the hotel,

Lou Xiao'e hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.

He Yuzhu softened his heart and forgot about his precious daughter for a moment. He deeply felt that it was more important to give her a younger brother or sister to give her more company.

Night came,

As usual, He Yuzhu stood up and was about to go back.

Lou Xiao'e buried her warm face in his arms, hugged him tightly and said shyly:

"Don't go. She and I have already discussed it. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are hers, and today, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are mine... You really know how to divide things up."

He Yuzhu blinked and offered a good suggestion: "Monday, Wednesday and Friday have an extra day sometimes, it doesn't seem fair to divide them this way, why don't we take Ran Qiuye to the hotel to stay, then you don't have to divide them into Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, you can enjoy a good time together every day..."

"You think beautifully..."

Lou Xiao'e was both embarrassed and annoyed, waving her little fist half-jokingly.

He Yuzhu's eyes were full of tenderness, and he felt that life was so warm and beautiful.

In the few days since I returned home,

Life returned to its former tranquility.

Unlike the overwhelming coverage in Japan, I have to wear a mask when going out to avoid being surrounded and blocked by fans asking for autographs.

in the country, although the news of the Go friendly match also made headlines for a few days,

But it did not cause much stir among ordinary people.

On the one hand, television was not yet popular, and ordinary people did not read newspapers much, and at most they listened to factory broadcasts.

Even if you have heard of the name He Yuzhu, but have never met him in person, you will forget it after a long time.

On the other hand, the fact that Japanese chess players swept domestic chess players before was not widely publicized, and there was no need for everyone to know about this.

Ordinary people did not share a common hatred of the enemy. After learning about this great victory, they felt excited at most and forgot some of the past humiliations.

Those who truly feel ashamed and hold their breath are those in the Go community who know the inside story.

Now that he has swept across the Japanese chess world, it is like dropping a bombshell in the Go community, causing a huge uproar. Everyone is excited and wants to witness this grand event with their own eyes. The members of the Go team are surrounded by people every day and asked to review and analyze the game.

There is no way. The legendary team leader disappeared after returning to his country. We only heard of his name but never saw him.

The older generation of chess players were equally excited and wrote to the top leaders, hoping to take this opportunity to reorganize the chess academy, and looking forward to someone who could serve as the dean and lead Chinese Go to the top of the world.

The letter finally reached He Yuzhu.

His aunt called and asked him with a smile what he thought.

He Yuzhu thought that these old naughty boys were really bad, and of course he couldn't agree easily.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Leave the reorganization of the chess academy to me. I will ensure that the task is completed. I remember there are still a few vacant palaces. Just pick one. It is quiet there and is perfect for playing chess and cultivating a new generation..."

Du-du-du...

The call was hung up.

He Yuzhu felt a little regretful. It seemed that the palace's proposal had fallen through.

Time passes quietly.

It's already the end of the year.

Two major events occurred in the country.

First, after the storm, the examination halls that had been closed for many years were reopened this winter, and the college entrance examination was officially resumed.

The examination rules continued the previous division into arts and sciences.

Both arts and science students have to take exams in politics, Chinese, and mathematics.

The liberal arts subjects will have additional tests in history and geography.

Science subjects will have additional tests in physics and chemistry.

The test subjects were so simple that even Ayu was interested in them.

If one wanted to go into politics, a university degree would naturally be best, so he recommended Yu Shui to take the exam.

Once you pass the exam, you can study and work at the same time.

Another big thing is that for the first time in many years, workers' wages have been increased.

Most of the workers with outstanding performance had their salary grade raised by one level.

As for the standard of good or bad performance, it is up to each factory to decide.

A leisurely day, going home from get off work as usual.

After entering the door, I found that Ran Qiuye looked a little dazed.

He Yuzhu asked with concern: "What happened?"

"I……"

Ran Qiuye hugged him, not knowing how to start.

After a while, she asked softly:

"It's been so long since Lou Xiao'e came back. Is everything okay? Will she leave again? Has the influence of the Lou family passed?"

Ran Qiuye had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

I felt embarrassed to ask Lou Xiao'e directly, but asking this way would make it seem like I was eager for her to leave.

I had the same concern when asking He Yuzhu, fearing that he would think too much.

"She came back with the Guo family from Hong Kong Island this time, and Old Guo helped to act as a guarantor. As for the influence of the Lou family, it will be gone in a year or two at most. After the storm, everything will be rectified and return to normal."

He Yuzhu explained, gently stroked her hair, and said softly:

"Are you worried about your parents?"

"Ah."

Ran Qiuye hugged him tightly, feeling a little depressed:

"I heard on the radio that some people were transferred back, and I don't know when they will be able to come back. I haven't seen them for so many years, and I have been forcing myself not to think about it, but now that I see that others have returned, I can't help but worry. Did something happen to them?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

He Yuzhu comforted him softly: "Everything will be over soon, and they will be back soon..."

next to,

He Nianqiu was doing his homework obediently and copying Tang poems.

When she heard the name of Xiangdao Guo family, she was slightly stunned and felt very surprised.

I didn't expect my father to know the Guo family.

On second thought, my father had been to Hong Kong several times, and the Lou family was also in Hong Kong, so it wasn't strange that they knew each other.

Even so,

He Nianqiu was still surprised. She originally thought that her father became famous after sweeping Japan in the Go friendly matches, and then he leaped to another level and came into contact with those people.

I didn’t expect to know the Guo family so early. Could that Old Guo be Guo Yingzhong?

Judging from my father's tone, the two seemed to be very familiar with each other and had a good relationship.

God!

There were no rumors in later generations that the two had a close relationship.

As a child who grew up drinking Coke,

How could He Nianqiu not know about "Feichang Cola" and how could he not know about the Guo family - the future world giant, which swept the global beverage market with the two drinks "Feichang Cola" and "Jianlibao", and was unrivaled except for Red Bull.

In particular, its Jianlibao, known as the "Magic Water of China", often competes with Red Bull for the sponsorship and naming rights of major sporting events around the world and is an obvious competitor.

Could it be that they have a good relationship now but will fall out in the future?

Thinking about the future when I will be in charge of Hongya Pharmaceutical Group,

He Nianqiu suddenly felt guilty and felt under so much pressure that he couldn't seem to bear it.

Don't worry, they are all fine.

Seeing that Ran Qiuye was still worried, He Yuzhu gently touched her back and comforted her:

"I've asked Director Yang a long time ago, and their work and life are pretty good."

Ran Qiuye felt warm in her heart. She didn't say anything, but just hugged him tightly involuntarily.

The man in my family is very meticulous, how could he not understand the situation?

How could he just simply ask?

"That's right," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"I still remember your dream. Now that everything has returned to normal, are you still interested in becoming a teacher? You can transfer to a school to continue teaching. Nianqiu is already three years old. We can let the aunt at home to help take care of him, and we will feel at ease."

"No."

Ran Qiuye hugged him tightly.

“I now wholeheartedly want to teach Nian Qiu well;

“Sisi is only ten years old, but she can already speak eight languages, so outstanding;

“We can’t fall too far behind in Nianqiu. We must master at least five languages ​​before the age of ten.

"Besides foreign languages, there are many other things for her to learn..."

Damn!

He Nianqiu felt very depressed and felt that his future life was bleak.

No, no, I don’t want to be that outstanding.

"That's not a good idea. Children don't have to ask for too much. A carefree childhood is enough."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly and said, "It's not very useful to learn those things. Learning should be based on interests and hobbies. Sisi has learned so much because she loves reading. Nianqiu doesn't need to learn from her. When she grows up, she can do whatever she wants. We don't need to interfere too much."

awesome!

Dad is so nice.

He Nianqiu was in a good mood and felt that Huo Yue was just a little angel.

I just want to be a salted fish and do nothing.

However, after thinking about it, He Nianqiu became depressed again.

That little girl Sisi can speak eight languages. How can she be so good? I feel like I can’t compare to her. It’s so infuriating.

"No, don't worry about it. I will teach my daughter myself."

Ran Qiuye said unhappily,

“As daughters, I don’t miss Qiu much less than Sisi;

“We need to develop her in all aspects from a young age;

“I’ve already thought about it. As for the language, I’ll let Sisi teach Nianqiu.

"Let Nianqiu know how capable her sister is. Let her take Sisi as an example and study hard..."

Oh, so you were secretly competing with others.

He Yuzhu thought it was funny and reminded:

“Your idea is good, but you have to consider the actual situation. Nianqiu is still young, only three years old;

“She is willing to learn, and I fully support her;

"You want her to be better, and I support that, but...

"I hope our daughter can grow up without worries, rather than being overwhelmed by endless homework and having no memories of a good childhood when she grows up."

He Nianqiu was both moved and excited.

He is indeed a dreamer, such a great and caring person, he is truly the best father in the world.

"What you said makes sense."

Ran Qiuye thought about it and hesitated.

"Then I will teach her to read and learn Chinese first. As for the rest, I will wait until she is older, when she is ten years old..."

"Okay, it's up to you."

He Yuzhu smiled and said nothing more.

If I have another child in three years, I’m afraid I won’t have the time to take care of Nian Qiu.

Sisi is a special case. She has a photographic memory. The difference is obvious.

Nian Qiu stuttered when reciting poems, obviously he did not inherit the ability of photographic memory.

I don't want her to learn from Sisi, and she can't learn it either. Living a carefree life is the best.

Thinking about it this way,

He Yuzhu felt a little hot, so he pulled Ran Qiuye back to the bedroom because he had something to discuss with her.

The living room was empty.

He Nianqiu pouted and started crying in grievance.

Why did Dad agree?

There are only three years of happy time left.

I just want to be an insignificant person and not be too outstanding, why is it so difficult?

Time passed quietly.

It’s only a few months before the Chinese New Year.

He Yuzhu was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

Director Yang suddenly came to the door.

"Xiao He, good news, good news. There will be a science conference in a few days. You and I have been invited to participate...about the science conference."

Although He Yuzhu reads the newspaper every day, he also feels that this matter is a bit unreliable.

"Isn't that an academic conference to discuss science? The people invited are experts and scholars. They invited you and me. Do we have anything to do with science?"

"Why don't you get involved!"

Director Yang straightened his back with a look of pride on his face.

"The heating furnace that I led to upgrade and improve is a big step forward for the steel industry. Even though it has been more than a decade, it is still not outdated. It is our most advanced heating furnace. This is a technological innovation. I heard that there will be an award at this conference."

Well, I forgot about that.

He Yuzhu was speechless. He glared at him and said slowly:

"You upgraded the heating furnace. I invited you, but it has nothing to do with me. I didn't interfere with your upgrading the heating furnace."

"This guy, he's asking questions even though he already knows the answer!"

Director Yang said unhappily, "Didn't you invent the steamed bread machine? Nowadays, no matter it is a factory, an office or a military unit, which canteen doesn't have a steamed bread machine? You have filled a gap, isn't this technological innovation?"

Does a steamed bread machine count?

Ok.

He Yuzhu didn't know what to say.
