Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

"Xueru, where have you been recently? I haven't seen you for a long time!" Chen Xueru replied:

"Since my silk shop has been handed over to someone else, I only have the right to dividends and no other rights. What can I do? I'll just worry about it."

Xu Huizhen asked again:

"Aren't you worried that the public manager will cause you to lose money?" Chen Xueru responded:

"Humph, if it were in the past, it would have gone bankrupt countless times, and I don't care. Now it is still managed by Fan Jinyou."

Xu Huizhen nodded and continued:

"That's true. Not only is he not very educated, but his mind is full of conspiracies and intrigues. He's like an ignorant person."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru said:

"Let's not talk about this. I just heard about you and He Yongqiang two days ago, so I came to see you today." Xu Huizhen waved her hand and said:

"Hey, don't talk about him, he's such a loser. It would have been great if I had listened to you at that time, I was so blind! By the way, how are you doing now?"

Chen Xueru says:

"I'm doing well. I don't have to run the shop every day. When I'm with friends, I can do some embroidery and take care of the garden.

Life is good and easy! Xu Huizhen said with emotion:

“Oh, I really envy you, this tavern was given to me by my father-in-law, but I didn’t expect that this tavern has no good reputation now.

I don’t know what my father-in-law was thinking. He actually added water to the wine. How can he win a good reputation by doing this?

Not only do I have to worry about the store every day, I also have to deal with all kinds of household chores!" Chen Xueru asked curiously:

"Home? Your children?" Xu Huizhen explained:

"Yes, it was a girl. They didn't want her, so I kept her. My father-in-law left the old house and this store to me before he died.

He Yongqiang came to cause trouble several times, but I drove him away every time. Yang Xiaodi interrupted:

"Right done!"

At this time, He Yushui, who was playing outside, suddenly interrupted their conversation by saying, "Dad, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu, who didn't say anything, was stunned for a moment. Why did He Daqing come here? After saying that, he hurried out.

When He Yuzhu walked out, he saw a man who looked exactly like He Daqing, but was obviously much newer than He Daqing.

This passage tells the story of a chance encounter between He Yuzhu and Cai Quanwu, and reveals their relationship.

The person who appeared at this time was Cai Quanwu. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Little sister, I am not your father!" A strong man next to him smiled and said, "Cai Quanwu, how come you suddenly have such a lovely daughter?"

He Yushui was stunned: "Are you Cai Quanwu?"

Yang Xiaodi came out at this time, looked at Cai Quanwu and said, "My dear, they look alike!" Chen Xueru also came over and asked, "Xiaodi, who did you say looked alike?" Yang Xiaodi pointed at Cai Quanwu and said, "Look, Xueru!" Chen Xueru looked at Cai Quanwu and said in surprise, "They really look alike, they are exactly the same person, but they look younger than Uncle He!"

In public, Chen Xueru used to call He Daqing "Uncle He", and only when she was with a few people in private did she call him father. He Yuzhu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, they are exactly alike!"

Then, he asked Cai Quanwu, "Comrade, do you know He Daqing?" Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Are you He Zhuzi?" He Yuzhu was also surprised, and then asked, "Do you know me?" Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "Yes, in theory you have to call me your cousin. My mother is your grandfather's sister. I am your cousin, but we have no contact after my mother got married."

"I remember my mother once told me that we were still in contact until 1936. Then in 1937, my hometown was invaded by Japan, and my parents took me to seek refuge everywhere. A few years later, my parents were killed in the Japanese bombing, so we lost contact. I didn't expect to meet you here at '107'. By the way, how is your father?" He Yuzhu was surprised to hear Cai Quanwu's explanation. It turned out that the two families had such a connection.

Although surprised, He Yuzhu still replied: "Hello, uncle, my father is doing well. He is now the deputy director of the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Uncle, what do you do now?" Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "I am doing some physical work now."

When he talked about this, he was not ashamed at all, and was very frank. He was indeed a very smart man. As described in the book, he has always lived up to his name in his own way, "a wise man is half as wise as a saint, and none of them." Obviously, this uncle was well educated.

He Yuzhu knew that the literacy campaign was about to start, and Cai Quanwu would show his talent and become the public manager of the area. In addition, he would also support and help a woman named Xu Hui for a long time.

But He Yuzhu didn't plan to change all this, because that would hinder Cai Quanwu's life. He said to Cai Quanwu: "Since you have met, why don't you come to my house and sit down?" Cai Quanwu shook his head: "No, I still need to take on work here. If I wanted to contact you, I would have gone to look for you long ago. Everyone has their own difficulties, and I have no worries about food and clothing with my skills."

"Then I won't cause trouble to your family. By the way, are your parents okay?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said:

"My mother died of illness when I was very young, and now my father has remarried. He is at No. 75 Nanluoguxiang. If you want to find him, go there."

At this time, Xu Huizhen looked at Cai Quanwu and knew that Cai Quanwu was doing some manual labor here. She gave him some wages and asked:

"Quanwu, do you know each other?" Cai Quanwu nodded and said:

"I know him, but we don't interact with him very often!"

Cai Quanwu usually spoke very little to others. He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, uncle, we still have some things to do. If you have any questions, you can come to Courtyard 75 to find us and mention 'He Daqing'!"

Cai Quanwu nodded to show that he understood:

"Cai Quanwu, don't bother them!" He Yuzhu asked again:

"Xue Ru, are you leaving? Or are you still here catching up with Xu Hui Zhen?" Today was a rare opportunity for her to go out for a walk with He Yu Zhu, so how could she possibly stay?

Chen Xueru replied:

"No, I'll go with you!"

Xu Huizhen looked at Chen Xueru and asked:

"Xueru, why don't you sit here for a while?" Chen Xueru shook her head:

"No, just do your thing, I won't bother you!" Xu Huizhen nodded:

"Okay, come back when you have time!"

Watching Chen Xueru and Yang Xiaodi leaving talking and laughing, Xu Huizhen now regretted not following Chen Xueru's advice.

The four of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and started to make large-scale purchases, using up all the tickets that were about to expire, whether they were useful or not. Although they didn't buy anything particularly large, they bought a lot of things.

Of course, He Yuzhu couldn't put these items into the storage space in public, so he spent two cents to buy a sack, put all the things into the sack, carried it on his shoulders and left.

Yang Xiaodi looked at these items and said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, why don't we go back first? We have processed all the tickets that are about to expire, and the remaining ones are unlimited!"

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's go back first!"

After that, the four of them returned home and put everything away properly.

Now He Yushui no longer needs to buy clothes, because she found that the clothes sold outside are not as good as Chen Xueru's craftsmanship, so the clothes worn at home are all made by Chen Xueru herself. Thinking of this, there is nothing else to buy.

After they had sorted themselves out, they realized that it was almost lunch time, so they had lunch together. In the afternoon, they talked and laughed together and had a great time.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to work and looked at the two ladies lying on the bed, feeling helpless.

There was no way, he didn't have the ability to treat them. Yang Xiaodi said to him:

"Husband, you go first, I will rest for a while and then get up to work!"

For Chen Xueru, she didn't even want to talk, and didn't even want to get up. But He Yuzhu could only ride his bicycle to the institute, and after recording the sign-in, he went directly to the seventh research room.

As soon as he arrived at Section 7, He Yuzhu saw Gu Zhiqiu. Gu Zhiqiu immediately grabbed He Yuzhu and said, "You are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"

He Yuzhu was a little puzzled: "Yesterday was a holiday, and I wasn't late today."

Although he was the only one here, it didn't matter if he came early or late, but he was new after all and had never been late or left early before. Gu Zhiqiu waved his hand and said:

"No, I didn't say you were late. The steelmaking technology information you gave me last time made me stay up all night to study it for several days. Everyone was discussing this technology without sleeping! Let's go quickly, there are many people waiting for you."

As soon as Gu Zhiqiu finished speaking, before He Yuzhu could react, he pulled him into the car. On the way, Gu Zhiqiu explained to He Yuzhu:

"The combined-blowing converter steelmaking technology you brought is very advanced. Many experts are puzzled by its data. They hope to meet with you to discuss it."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was a little confused: "But the information I provided is already very detailed, isn't it clear enough?" Hearing his doubts, Gu Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said:

"That's right. The materials are indeed detailed and comprehensive, but many experts don't understand the specific implementation mechanism. So I have to ask you to answer these questions in person."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything more. He knew that these people didn't trust him very much, but fortunately, this set of technology and details were not obtained through mysterious means, but were something he was familiar with and understood.

Although these technologies were not the results of the system's rewards, he was already confident about every part and its design principles. This was no problem, He Yuzhu nodded. The car drove to the destination soon. After getting off the car, several elderly people in their fifties and sixties were still discussing enthusiastically. Seeing Gu Zhiqiu and He Yuzhu arrived, one of them hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Director Gu, where is the technical expert you mentioned? I have a lot of questions that I want to ask for advice." Gu Zhiqiu introduced:

"Let me introduce you to our colleague He Yuzhu, a Level 4 engineer. That technology was created by his ingenuity and effort."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the whole place was silent.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Did he complete all of this by himself?" Gu Zhiqiu said affirmatively: "It was indeed designed and developed by He Yuzhu alone!"

You have to know that there is no one else in Section 7 except He Yuzhu. He originally wanted to collaborate with others on the design, but now he can only complete it by himself.

At this time, an old man took the initiative to introduce himself: "Comrade He Yuzhu, hello, my name is Zhou Xinghan, you can just call me Lao Zhou from now on. About..."

Then he asked He Yuzhu a few technical questions. He Yuzhu was busy answering these questions throughout the morning and did not have any extra work.

As lunch was approaching, everyone ended their discussion with an unsatisfied attitude. An old man said with deep emotion: "The new generation is really pushing the old generation forward!" Zhou Xinghan then added:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, have you ever considered coming to work here?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said:

"Mr. Zhu, I am very satisfied and happy with my current job. I hope this technology can improve our country's steelmaking technology."
