Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Gu Zhiqiu pointed at He Yuzhu's machine, and He Yuzhu showed him how to use it helplessly. Gu Zhiqiu put away the machine and drove He Yuzhu back to his workplace. There, He Yuzhu drove out in his homemade jeep.

This car was built by He Yuzhu himself. Although He Yuzhu also provided his manufacturing technology, it was a simplified version.

Other cars were not as advanced as his car because of the lack of electronic products.

Although it is only a simplified version, these technologies still surpass the level of similar foreign technologies. However, the design plan and process of this car were not submitted until the beginning of this year. Even so, this move still caused a sensation across the country. After all, this creation filled the domestic technological gap.

When the car model designed by He Yuzhu is actually launched, he will receive corresponding honors. He Yuzhu took advantage of Gu Zhiqiu's identity and turned his self-built car into personal property.

There is only one special car like this in this city. Even though He Yuzhu has modified it to make it look less attractive, its appearance is still much better than any other car on the market.

He Yuzhu drove back home and parked the car in his yard.

Since he got a car, he built a new shop next to the yard to store his car.

When he stopped the car and just walked out of it, He Yuzhu saw his daughter He Hua running towards him, staggering on her little legs and calling out "Dad".

He Yuzhu immediately ran up to her and held her in his hands and kissed her: "Have you been good at home? Have you listened to my instructions?"

He Hua said with a cute face: "I am the most obedient child. I have also learned a lot of Chinese characters from my mother."

Looking at his other daughter He Xiao who was looking at him with envy, the father quickly hugged her and said, "Then let's ask our second daughter He Xiao if she is well behaved?"

Although his surprise was beyond words, the mature He Xiao pretended to be calm and answered proudly in the tone of a big boy:

"Oh, father, stop it, I'm no longer a little kid but a mature big sister!"

But when the father said: "Then our mature sister ** is obedient at home?"

Hearing this, He Xiao nodded proudly and said, "Of course I'm obedient!"

Seeing her like this, He Yuzhu couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud, but he still said seriously, "Very good, very good! Xiaoxiao, you are a good girl. Come on, kids, today your father and I will cook a delicious meal for you."

After that, everyone started to enjoy the delicious food, except for her younger sister He Yushui, who was not at home because she had gone to college. Yang Xiaodi said to him, "My husband, this year we are facing some food shortages just as you predicted."

He Yuzhu shook his head and responded, "This year is not bad. The bumper harvest the year before last has made the people worry-free for the time being. However, the surplus grain stored the year before last is gradually running out. If the crop yields continue to decline this year, then next year and the year after will be even more difficult."

Yang Xiaodi asked:

“Should I publish a statement to alert the public to this problem?”

He Yuzhu waved his fingers:

"No, don't, this is not appropriate. If you said this two years ago, I might support you, but..."

But now it is no longer possible. After all, the incident has already begun. If you bring it up again, it will likely cause social panic and chaos. You will be in trouble then, so it is best to pretend that you don’t know about it. Anyway, since I knew about it, I have been hoarding food, and my family is not short of food at all now. "Chen Xueru said:

"Xiao Di, don't worry about this anymore. Your father has already reported it to the higher-ups. People of his status can't be trusted. How can you expect people to believe him? Not to mention the media reporting it, even if it is published, whether you are telling the truth or not, you will definitely get into trouble!" He Yuzhu nodded and said:

"Xiaodi, Xueru is right. We can no longer intervene in this matter. If we continue to interfere, the consequences will be disastrous!" Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yang Xiaodi nodded and agreed:

"Okay, I get it. By the way, Dad, Aunt Song is here today."

He Yuzhu was stunned, then asked: "What is she doing here?" Yang Xiaodi replied:

"She came to collect rent, and she saw what happened in the courtyard. Qin Huairu is pregnant again!" After hearing what Yang Xiaodi said, He Yuzhu asked:

"This should be the third one, right?" Yang Xiaodi nodded and said:

"Yes, the more food they lack at home and the more rural their household registration is, the more they want to have more children. I really don't know what they are thinking."

He Yuzhu thought that since Qin Huairu was pregnant, Jia Dongxu would not live long. When he went back, he reminded the Jia family to let Jia Dongxu eat more, otherwise he would not have the strength to do farm work. But he was scolded by Mrs. Jia for this, saying that he was meddling in other people's business.

After that, He Yuzhu stopped paying attention. After all, in the Siheyuan, only Jia Dongxu was still worthy of respect. Whether it was true or not, he had a good reputation in the hearts of everyone in the Siheyuan over the years.

At this time, Jia Dongxu has become a **-level worker, with a monthly salary of 45.2 yuan. Although he has money, it is difficult to buy things, especially at the moment, when people who have heard the news are hoarding food. Although there is no large-scale fluctuation, the price of **-level food changes every day.

In order to cope with the price hike, many people secretly sold their own grain reserves illegally. He Yuzhu was aware of all this, and some people even sold grain outside the grain station at a very high price.

He Yuzhu buys all the rationed food for his family every month, because if he doesn’t buy it in time, it will expire. After dinner, He Yuzhu said:

"Let's not worry about this anymore. We haven't been back to the Siheyuan for the past few years, right?" Yang Xiaodi nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, only Aunt Song comes back once a year, just to collect rent!" He Yuzhu added:

"By the way, it's almost summer vacation, right?" Chen Xueru replied:

"Yes, the holiday is coming soon. I heard that (Lidian's) holiday is only a few days away!" He Yuzhu said:

"Don't talk about family matters outside. We don't sell food. Everyone needs to supplement nutrition for martial arts training. You must eat enough, otherwise it will affect your physical recovery!"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone nodded, and He Yuzhu didn't say anything more.

After the meal, everyone felt heavy-hearted. Seeing Yang Xiaodi's expression, He Yuzhu asked, "Xiaodi, what's wrong with you?" Yang Xiaodi said, "I told my parents about the food hoarding, but they didn't believe me and said I was worrying too much!" He Yuzhu smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, my parents have more than enough food. If they don't have enough, I'm here for you."

At this point, He Yuzhu added: "All the material tickets have been exchanged for food, and the family doesn't have to worry about food shortages anymore." Hearing this, Yang Xiaodi was moved and said: "Husband, you are awesome!"

Looking at Yang Xiaodi's expression, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You are my lover, and your parents are also my parents. There is no need to be so formal!" Yang Xiaodi nodded and said, "I understand. I will change in the future."

The next morning, when He Yuzhu arrived at the Seventh Research Department, he found Gu Zhiqiu running towards him in a hurry, and then asked: "Zhuzi, your research results have been recognized by the country, but the technology involved in the report is too profound, and many people don't understand it. How can this be solved?"

He Yuzhu calmly replied: "I can't do anything about it. All the principles, formulas and materials have been submitted without reservation. Since the higher-ups don't take it seriously, I can't do anything about it!"

Gu Zhiqiu nodded in agreement, "Indeed. But the country has already sent someone to learn your technology." After that, his eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this! We can use this theoretical knowledge in higher education as the foundation of new disciplines!"

After that, Gu Zhiqiu left in a hurry, probably to report his suggestions. He Yuzhu ignored him and concentrated on his own work. When he was about to go and look at the crop seeds, Gu Zhiqiu ran over again. Seeing him, He Yuzhu said helplessly: "I don't have any new inventions. The ones I have have been handed in, and I don't have any needs now."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Gu Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I don't want to ask this question, but about the drought you mentioned before. Is it true or false?" He Yuzhu sighed, "Director, when have I ever lied to you? I have always been honest with you about technical issues. Besides, if there is no solid evidence for such a major event, would I say it casually?" But we don't believe the evidence you said. "Gu Zhiqiu added, "But I do believe it. Don't you have any food stored?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes:

"Of course I expected this situation, so I started to stockpile food two years ago. I used all the food coupons I was awarded to buy food, but I didn't do this to help the people of the country. I just wanted to make sure that myself and my family would not be affected. But don't worry too much, this difficulty will only last for three years at most. After three years, the situation will get better, but now there is nothing you can do even if you don't believe it." Gu Zhiqiu asked:

"So how's the technology of your drip irrigation equipment?"

He Yuzhu said helplessly:

"That technology must be used in conjunction with well digging and water pumping. This year's production reduction is inevitable. If this technology is popularized now, there may be hope for remediation next year. But if there is no rain during the rainy season, no matter how much rain there is later, it will not work. My responsibility is just to report my research results. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqiu continued to ask:

“Is it too late for me to continue stockpiling food?”

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, we can. Although food prices have started to rise, everyone is still waiting to see the autumn harvest, so food is not out of stock in the market yet. But if we wait another year, we won't be able to buy food even if we have money!"

Gu Zhiqiu heard this and said:

"Thank you for your advice, keep busy!"

Watching Gu Zhiqiu leave, He Yuzhu didn't say much. He knew that Gu Zhiqiu was preparing a way out for his family. This was also human nature. In this case, it would be problematic not to think about the family. After dealing with the matter, He Yuzhu went home leisurely after get off work.

After returning home, Xiao Chengyu said to him:

"Zhu Zi, the price of food outside has gone up again, and no one is selling it!"

He Yuzhu responded with a sneer:

"Those who sell grain now are all fools. Grain is equal to life in the ** year. Even if you have a mountain of money, you will starve to death without grain. This year is still good. You will see the situation next year and those who sell grain will regret it!"

Xiao Chengyu asked doubtfully:

"Can the country just sit back and do nothing about such a big thing?"

He Yuzhu said calmly:
