Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

The soldier then handed an invitation to He Yuzhu, adding: "Tomorrow at noon, there will be the arrangements for our commander's family." He Yuzhu nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

After saying that, the soldier saluted again and left neatly.

Holding the invitation, He Yuzhu returned home. As soon as he entered the house, Yang Xiaodi noticed him and asked curiously:

"Who is it? Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"My master's family invited me to lunch tomorrow. I won't be back for lunch this afternoon." He Yuzhu replied, and briefly explained the reason. Chen Xueru, who was standing next to him, was also very interested:

"Your master's family? Who are they specifically?"

"He is my master's brother, Li Cunyi, who is also a senior leader of our country." He Yuzhu explained. Everyone nodded when they heard this. They had heard that He Yuzhu's martial arts master was Li Cunren. Then, Chen Xueru asked another question:

"We're going there tomorrow, what should we prepare?"

"I will prepare the gifts myself and drive over at noon." He Yuzhu replied, "I don't know what they will have. If everything goes well, I can take you to see it during the Spring Festival next year; if not, forget it."

He Yuzhu is no longer a fool. He has a clear understanding of self-protection and does not want to be easily used by others. Yang Xiaodi and Chen Xueru understood and nodded slightly.

The next morning, He Yuzhu drove to the unit and told Gu Zhiqiu that he had to leave for something and would not be back at noon.

Gu Zhiqiu nodded, and then reminded:

"I see. But the technician who I told you about yesterday will come to install the telephone in your house, so someone has to stay at home."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Why are you still worried about this? We have people at home 24 hours a day. That was the safety measure you helped apply for."

"That's good." Gu Zhiqiu responded with satisfaction.

Before leaving, He Yuzhu went into the storage room and carefully selected several gifts: chickens, ducks, fish and various meats, including pork, beef, and lamb, as well as several kilograms of brown sugar, milk powder and honey. He packed them all into the trunk of the car and drove off.

After arriving at Li Cunyi's residence, the sentry at the gate stopped his car and checked the invitation. He was allowed to pass after learning that He Yuzhu had a pass. Because they had informed him in advance, all those who brought valid invitations that day were allowed to enter smoothly. Moreover, He Yuzhu was driving his own car, so the sentry did not set up more obstacles.

After parking the vehicle, He Yuzhu got out and moved three large boxes of gifts to place them outside the door to ensure that the vehicle did not hinder the passage of others.

At this time, a young man appeared, looked at the things in He Yuzhu's hand, and said to him: "Comrade, although I don't know you, our family does not accept gifts. You'd better take it back. If my father finds out, you might be kicked out." He Yuzhu smiled and asked: "Oh? Who is your father? He is so courageous that he doesn't even want the gift I gave him?" Hearing this, the young man replied: "My father is Li Cun Yi whom you are going to meet today!" He Yuzhu laughed and said: "Your father may not accept gifts from other people, but he will definitely accept my gifts. If I don't bring a gift, your father will be unhappy!"

The young man didn't believe it at all. At this time, Li Cunyi's voice came from the house: "Li Zhiwen, come and see who is here and what are you doing?" He Yuzhu responded: "Second uncle, this is my first visit and I brought some gifts, but your son didn't let me in!" Li Cunyi walked out and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, I forgot to tell you in advance that today is my birthday. Let's get together and have fun!" He Yuzhu said: "Second uncle, you didn't tell me yesterday, I thought something happened, I only brought some food, but no birthday present for you!" Li Cunyi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't have to have a gift. I just don't want you to prepare it specially. By the way, what did you bring?" He Yuzhu replied: "You are my second uncle. Although I have never met before, this is my first visit. So I brought some food and meat."

After hearing this, Li Cunyi gestured to Li Zhiwen and said, "Zhiwen, since Zhuzi brought it, accept it. Zhuzi is your uncle's **, not an outsider." Because the gifts were packed in boxes, no one knew what was inside. Just looking at the three large boxes, it was probably just some potatoes and other things. Food ingredients are rare nowadays, so no one paid much attention to it. He Yuzhu said again, "Then how about I help move it in?" Li Cunyi shook his head and said, "No need, let those guys move it. Come on, I'll take you to meet some people!" Then he pulled He Yuzhu into the house. Li Zhiwen had no choice but to accept it since his father had said so.

After entering the house, Li Cunyi introduced everyone: "Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and eldest sister, second sister, third sister, this is eldest brother's apprentice He Yuzhu!" Then he said to He Yuzhu: "You can call them third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, eldest sister, second sister, third sister!" He Yuzhu respectfully greeted everyone: "He Yuzhu greets third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, eldest sister, second sister, third sister!"

When everyone heard He Yuzhu's greeting, they realized that he was someone recognized by the second and eldest brothers, and they all responded, "No need to be polite!" Li Cunyi then said to He Yuzhu:

"This time, I'm taking advantage of my birthday to get everyone together, and you can come and get to know everyone. There won't be another good opportunity like this in the future!"

At this time, the fourth brother Li Cunzhi asked:

"Are you He Yuzhu, the director of the Seventh Bureau, He Yuzhu?"

When He Yuzhu heard what Li Cunzhi said, he knew that he had to call him Fourth Uncle, so he nodded and said:

"Yes, Fourth Uncle!"

After hearing this, Li Cunxin, the fifth brother, said, "What, Zhuzi, you are already the director?"

You know, the fifth brother, Li Cunxin, is the director of the Public Security Bureau, and He Yuzhu is so young and unexpectedly became the director. The third brother, Li Cunli, then asked:

"Zhu Zi, how old are you this year?" He Yuzhu replied:

"Uncle, I am 24 years old this year!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect He Yuzhu to become the director at such a young age.

This position is equivalent to Lao Wu's position, but Lao Wu participated in wars and made many military achievements, and later changed his career to become the director of the Public Security Bureau.

The second brother Li Cunyi said:

"I didn't expect you to be the director. Aren't you going to be a level 4 engineer?" Before He Yuzhu could answer, the fourth brother Li Cunzhi said:

"Brother, that was all in the past. Today, He Yuzhu is not only a first-class engineer, but also a director." Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. Not to mention the title of first-class engineer, even among the ninth-level engineers, many people could not achieve it in their entire lives. And He Yuzhu was so young, yet he was actually a first-class engineer.

You know, in this country, first-class engineers are extremely rare. The second brother Li Cunyi asked again:

"Old Four, do you know Zhuzi?" Li Cunzhi nodded:

"How could I not understand? Zhuzi is a key protected person in our unit. But you are not qualified to know his identity. This involves confidential information.

The specific circumstances cannot be discussed here, all you need to know is that he is the director of the Seventh Bureau and a first-class engineer.

I can’t tell you anything else!”

Li Cunzhi had just finished speaking when Li Zhiwen hurried in and said:

"Dad, something terrible has happened!"

Li Cunyi looked at his son and scolded him:

"Zhiwen, how old are you? Why are you still so impetuous?" Li Zhiwen explained:

"What He Yuzhu brought just now was all food!" Li Cunyi nodded:

"I know. He said that just now, right?" Li Zhiwen continued:

"But he sent chicken, duck, fish, pork, mutton and beef!"

Hearing this, everyone stood up. You know, although they all hold high positions, in this era, the amount of meat they can get is still limited.

Li Cunyi saw the three large boxes and realized that they were quite heavy.

Li Cunyi listened to Li Zhiwen's words and looked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu explained:

"I don't know what you lack. I used to be a chef, so I have some ways to get some meat, but I can't get more. This is all I can do.

Second uncle, please don't despise me!"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Li Cunyi thought of investigating He Yuzhu. It turned out that He Yuzhu was the chef of Hongbinlou, so he did have channels for purchasing ingredients.

Everyone looked at Li Cunyi in surprise. He smiled and said:

"We were planning to have everyone come back and eat something, but now that we have the food sent by Zhuzi, let's take this opportunity to improve our lives!"

Li Zhiwen and others were very happy after hearing this and immediately said:

"Dad, then I'll tell the kitchen to take care of it!"

Li Cunyi nodded. Li Zhiwen turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back. Li Cunyi asked:

"Anything else?"

Li Zhiwen said a little embarrassedly:

"Dad, in addition to meat, there are also brown sugar, milk powder and honey. Look..."

Li Cunyi looked at He Yuzhu and thought: You can buy meat, but what about other things?

He Yuzhu rubbed his nose and replied:

"Uncle, these are what I saved for my children. Now they have grown up and don't need them anymore, so I brought them here. Giving away things that you don't need yourself can be considered a favor, especially in this day and age when adults can't even get enough to eat, let alone children!"

Li Cunyi nodded after listening:

"Okay, then take it. When Third Aunt and Fifth Uncle leave, give these to them. They have children at home and are worried about not being able to buy milk powder."

Li Cunxin expressed his gratitude to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, thank you so much, otherwise I really don't know what to do. The children at home have nothing to eat, and now they can only survive on rice soup."

At this time, the third aunt Li Mingxue also expressed her gratitude:

"Zhu Zi, thank you for your help!"

Li Cunyi then introduced:

"I haven't introduced them to you yet. This is your eldest aunt Li Minghua, this is your second aunt Li Mingshuang, and this is your third aunt Li Mingxue."
