Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

"Is there no danger in what you are doing?" He Yuzhu nodded:

"Mother, I'm really not in much danger. I'm safe!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's attitude, Hu Shuzhi smiled and said nothing. He knew his mother didn't believe him completely. Therefore, he decided to send some meat occasionally as a practical gesture, such as taking out pork, chicken, duck, goose and other meat reserves from his own storage space.

Now we can start taking them out gradually. The two chickens and ducks will be enough for the whole family to eat for a few days. Then, in a few days, we can bring some mutton and goose meat. So he said to his father and mother:

"Mom and Dad, we won't eat here tonight. We'll come tomorrow night. Let's take He Xiao and He Hua to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year!" Hearing this,

Hu Shuzhi and Yang Zhili knew that they had friends to visit during the New Year, so they did not try to persuade them to stay. After giving their grandson and granddaughter red envelopes, they said goodbye to them.

Then, He Yuzhu drove to Tian Zehua's home and gave him gifts, the same as what he did at his father-in-law's home: chicken and duck meat. Not much, after all, there was no need at this stage.

At the same time, he also knew that his master would never be short of food, because he was the top chef of Hongbinlou and could ensure meals at all times.

Tian Zehua did not shirk this situation because he understood his own actual ability. It was very difficult for others to obtain food, but it was not a problem for He Yuzhu.

After chatting for a while, Master's wife Yu Hui also gave the children New Year's money, which made them smile happily. The children were very happy and kept saying auspicious words.

Master and his wife happily accepted the blessing.

He Yuzhu smiled and said nothing. He did not spend a penny of the New Year's money the children received.

Instead, guide them to save all their money.

This behavior made the two little guys become misers, which made Yang Xiaodi laugh.

On the way home, the two children refused to give up while He Yuzhu was driving:

"Dad, aren't we going to visit some relatives and friends anymore?"

Looking at their cute little faces, Yang Xiaodi replied:

"No need, we've already visited everyone we should have visited!"

The little ones felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and even wanted to wish a happy new year to everyone in the capital.

But He Yuzhu patiently explained to them:

"Xiaoxiao, Huahua, we only need to wish a happy new year to our close elders, like grandparents, teachers, and grandma. Do you understand?

You can’t get New Year’s money if you wish a happy new year to strangers, and only children can get it.

You see, my parents are already adults, so we won’t accept lucky money anymore!”

Huahua heard her father's explanation and said anxiously:

"Dad, I don't want to grow up!"

Her childish words made He Yuzhu laugh, but he didn't respond because he knew it was just the child's temporary mood.

After a while, she may feel the urge to grow up quickly again.

When I got home, the whole family was waiting for dinner. Since we had cooked enough food the day before, everyone didn't eat much, so we heated up the leftovers and continued to enjoy.

The family drank hot wine and talked about everything, and the Spring Festival of 1959 was officially celebrated in this happy gathering. As the New Year came to an end, people returned to their busy daily work.

After work, everyone congratulated each other. He Yuzhu, who had just entered the office, ran into Gu Zhiqiu.

Looking at Gu Zhiqiu who looked tired, he joked:

"Old Gu, you are not as busy as last year and haven't had a good time for the whole year!"

Gu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes helplessly:

"How can I live peacefully? With so many people here, I have either been arresting people or on the way to arrest people this year!"

In fact, the arrests mentioned were aimed at those members of the Kikusakura intelligence team.

With the special formula of the medicine, he himself might not know what these people have confessed.

Gu Zhiqiu urged He Yuzhu and said:

"If it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't bother you in order to have a good New Year, now hurry up and get us some more of that special medicine!" He Yuzhu was startled:

"Then I have given you the recipe a long time ago, right?" Gu Zhiqiu was a little embarrassed:

"We also got the formula and the process of refining the potion, but the result is different from what you made yourself."

From his words, He Yuzhu also realized the reason.

His eighth-level skill enables him to fully perceive the characteristics of various medicinal materials. Different medicinal materials have different properties, and he can make full use of these characteristics to mix them.

Others can't do it, so He Yuzhu said helplessly:

"Well, I thought I could row some water on my first day back. Since you brought the raw materials, let me help mix them."

Gu Zhiqiu responded happily:

"Okay, I'll get you the herbs right away!"

He Yuzhu left in a hurry, knowing that Gu Zhiqiu was busy interrogating those people in order to end this matter as soon as possible. Looking at the room full of medicinal materials, He Yuzhu began to mix them helplessly.

As He Yuzhu prepared the herbs, Gu Zhiqiu would take them away immediately after each batch was completed. He worked like this for four consecutive days, leaving early and returning late every day, and on the fourth day he finally finished preparing all the herbs.

He Yuzhu sighed, "It's finally over. If I don't stop, I'll collapse from exhaustion!" Gu Zhiqiu patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest recently and come back to work in three days."

When He Yuzhu heard that he could take a rest, he accepted it without hesitation and said to Gu Zhiqiu gratefully, "Thank you, Director!" After that, he packed up and went home. The first thing He Yuzhu did after returning home was to take a nice shower.

Seeing her husband coming back early, Chen Xueru asked in confusion, "Husband, why did you come back so early today?" He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Three days off!"

Chen Xueru was surprised: "I've only worked for four days, how come I have three days off all of a sudden?" He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "That's right, look!"

Chen Xueru was not surprised by He Yuzhu's behavior. Sometimes he was as steady as a wise man, but the next moment he would be like a childish child, which was one of the reasons why Chen Xueru loved him so much.

At this time, his daughter He Hua ran over excitedly, hugged her father's legs tightly, looked up and asked: "Dad, you are on vacation, can you play with me?" Then He Yuzhu picked up He Hua and said happily: "Sure, what do you want to play, little darling?"

"I want to play on the slide!" He Yuhua answered happily.

This homemade wooden slide is very sturdy, without any sharp edges. He Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go slide!"

After that, he went to accompany his daughter. At the same time, He Xiao was concentrating on studying and practicing. Despite He Yuzhu's repeated suggestions, He Xiao still insisted on her own way, so He Yuzhu let her do what she wanted. He believed that children's interests were important and should be supported.

When He Yuzhu was playing with the two children, a childish voice rang out: "Brother!"

Turning around, he saw his little sister He Yuqing. He Yuzhu picked up Yuqing and said, "Sister, do you miss your brother?" He Yuqing nodded happily, "Yes, I do. Brother, can you make something sweet for Qingqing?"

He Yuzhu looked at the chubby little sister in his arms teasingly: "Okay, then how are you going to thank me?"

Yuqing pouted and kissed her brother on the cheek: "Brother, I've already thanked you, hurry up and make me something to eat!"

Song Ziyu next to him said, "Yuqing, be polite!" Then he turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Don't spoil her. Look at her. She has gained so much weight!"

He Yuqing pouted with a wronged look on her face. He Yuzhu understood that his stepmother was just trying not to cause him trouble. Song Ziyu said again: "Your family does have more meat, but it's hard to buy food anywhere now. Let's forget it. After all, your life is not easy either."

He Yuzhu smiled and responded, "Aunt Song, who told you that we have a hard time? It's just a small matter, just some braised pork. Let's eat together later, how about it, Qingqing?"

He Yuqing nodded innocently: "Yeah!"

When Song Ziyu heard He Yuzhu say this, she was about to speak, but He Yuzhu immediately said, "Aunt Song, I know you are worried, but please rest assured, there will be no problem. The meat we have stored is enough for the whole family to eat for several years."

As for the source, please don't worry too much, it's not obtained through illegal means. And when did I leave home?

So, you can rest assured, but please keep this matter confidential. I do have some stock at home, but if it gets out, I'm afraid it will be lost!

Song Ziyu nodded: "I understand, I understand."

Then He Yuzhu added: "Okay, don't blame Qingqing for the food problem in the future. Although we lack other things, we definitely don't lack food!"

Seeing him say this, Song Ziyu did not mention criticizing He Yuqing anymore. After all, she was the eldest son in the family, even though she was not from the same mother. But it was normal for a brother to love his sister.

Fortunately, He Yuqing was very sensible, so Song Ziyu did not pursue the matter any further. After dinner, He Yuzhu asked, "Aunt Song, why didn't my father come back?" Song Ziyu replied, "He went to work. However, it is said that their unit will arrange a group of people to participate in the national key project support. Do you think your father will be transferred?"

After hearing her words, He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Even if the superiors would consider his talent, they would not allow my father to transfer. Moreover, in the new environment, where supplies are scarce, even if he is the best chef, his skills will be useless there.

At the same time, just as Song Ziyu and He Yuzhu were discussing this matter, the steel rolling mill.

A voice came from the office of Factory Director Jiang: "Director, I don't want to do national construction work."

Looking at the man in front of him, Director Yang seemed confused and then asked unhappily, "My colleague, everyone else can go, why can't you? What's wrong? Is your name on the list?"

Faced with such questioning, Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, and he did not confirm whether his name was on the list. But he heard someone discussing this matter. "I don't know if I am on the list either."

Director Yang was even more angry: "Since you can't even tell whether you are on the list, why are you still talking about this? Now the whole nation is vigorously building the infrastructure of New China, but you, as a worker, have no sense of responsibility. If this is the case, then give up your status as an employee!"
