Rebirth 1962: The Beginning of the Angry Fan Qin Huairu

"Morning, Master He!"

"Morning, Mr. Han."

He Yuzhu rode a rickshaw with Yu Li on board, and kept greeting people along the way. His professional smile made He Yuzhu look a little stiff.

He Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting through the crowded area.

“These guys are so enthusiastic.”

"That's not true. You are now a big shot in the factory. People say that there are more than a dozen factories around here, but you are the only level 6 chef."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "That's just the sixth level at most in our factory, so I'm thinking of going to our master to think of a way to see if I can take a higher level exam outside."

Yu Li was surprised and asked, "You can take the exam outside? What's the point of taking the exam in the factory?"

"You don't understand this, right? For the restaurant where our master works, the best he can be assigned is a third-level cook. The factory will also provide corresponding subsidies at that time."

"If I'm not mistaken, the first-level subsidy should be at least 6 yuan!"

Yu Li exclaimed. "Then your monthly salary must be more than 70?"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded without saying anything. If the money he spent on cooking on weekends was added, it would be at least a hundred yuan a month.

You have to know that this was in the early 60s when the average wage per capita was only a dozen yuan. His salary was enough for him to live comfortably.

As for buying a house, He Yuzhu had thought about it, but in a few years that thing would not stand up to scrutiny. Anyway, the price of houses did not increase much before the 80s, so it would still be in time to buy one then.

So the two of them chatted all the way to the second canteen, where a group of people were busy preparing food.

"Ma Hua, Liu Lan, if you are not in a hurry, just go together. I just bought a rickshaw at the street corner. It's better than walking anyway!"

"Oh, Master, that's great. You can build a shed tomorrow, and you can go out and ride a bike to earn some pocket money on the weekends!"

"Fuck you, you just think about these speculations all day long. I have no brand, won't I be squeezed to death by those "board masters"? When the time comes, I will tell them my name is Ma Hua."

Ma Hua smiled awkwardly. "Master, I was just joking with you, please don't take it personally."

"Humph, you dare to make fun of me, your master, this morning, you have to practice flipping the spoon for me. You can't leave work if you don't flip it 500 times."

Ma Hua didn't dare to refute when he heard this. Instead, he turned around and smiled, picked up the big spoon, filled it with sand and started practicing. "

The others couldn't help laughing, because in their opinion, He Yuzhu was not punishing Ma Hua physically, but giving him special treatment in disguise. The others even wished they didn't have to work and stir the wok!

The day was over quickly. After get off work, Ma Hua was honored to become the board master, while He Yuzhu, Yu Li and Liu Lan sat in the back.

"Master, this thing of yours is much better than a bicycle. How much did you buy it for?"

"This second-hand car is 178 yuan, and a new one would cost about to yuan! But the old man at the corner of the street gave me a lot less because I helped him with his son's wedding banquet."

Ma Hua took a deep breath after hearing this. "How about you, Master? This thing is too expensive for most people to afford."

Liu Lan quickly said, "Hey, why don't you say this thing is more practical? If you go out to buy New Year's goods during the New Year, it will save you a lot of trouble!"

But just as everyone was chatting, they saw a person suddenly running out from the alley next to them.

Ma Hua was so scared that he pulled the brake, and He Yuzhu quickly supported Yu Li. Although Ma Hua's car was not going fast, he still knocked the person who suddenly ran out to the side.

"Master, is my mistress okay?"

He Yuzhu also knew that this matter was not Ma Hua's fault. "It's okay, let's see what's wrong with that person first. Why is he running so fast in the alley!"

Yu Li also quickly said: "Let's see how he is doing first, I'm fine."

He Yuzhu glanced at Liu Lan next to him and thought it was nothing serious, so he and Ma Hua helped up the man with the scarf.

"Hey man, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

The man waved his hand. "It's okay."

"Master He, don't you recognize me? I'm here to thank you."

Ma Hua jokingly said, "Thank you? You almost got scared!"

He Yuzhu found the voice quite familiar, but how could he recognize the person in front of him who was covering his face with a scarf?

"Dude, I really didn't notice you with the scarf on."

The man stood up a little embarrassedly after hearing that, and then quickly took off his scarf.

"Ma Si?" everyone exclaimed.

"Hey, Master He, I'm here to thank you."

He Yuzhu was surprised and asked, "Thank me? What do you mean?"

Ma Si awkwardly stuffed a bottle of wine into He Yuzhu's hand. "Master He, if you hadn't stopped me last time, I, Ma Si, would have been finished."

"If I kill someone that day, my family will be left without anyone to take care of me, and I will have to be buried with her."

"So I've been thinking about this for a long time. I don't know what you like, so I bought you a bottle of Fenjiu. Please don't dislike it!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly took the bottle of wine. He knew that this honest man must have mustered up his courage to come over and thank him. If he didn't want the bottle of wine, this guy might not be able to sleep at night with his personality!

"Then thank you!"

Ma Si's face turned red. "Master He, what are you talking about? I, Ma Si, am not good at talking, so I only have one true friend now."

"It was Da Kui who went to the cafeteria to buy food for me. Do you still remember me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Brother Da Kui, you are a good person, of course I remember you."

Ma Si said happily upon hearing this: "From now on, you will be another true friend of mine. Well, if you need anything, you must tell me."

"I don't know anything else, but I have a lot of strength."

"My mother once said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. I, Ma Si, have no way to repay your great kindness to me that day."

He Yuzhu looked at the honest man in front of him with a bit of a smile and tears in his eyes. This guy spoke so funny. No wonder he couldn't find a wife at this age.

However, his simplicity was definitely not fake, so He Yuzhu hurried over and held his hand.

"Brother, don't be so polite to me next time. Come on, let's go to my place and have a drink together."

Ma Si shook his head awkwardly and said, "Forget it, Master He. I won't go to your yard. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed."

Seeing this, Liu Lan hurriedly said, "Why don't you all go to my place? Otherwise, our house will be deserted. I just made some small things for Yu Li and Yu Shui."

But when Ma Si heard Liu Lan's words, his originally normal face suddenly turned red.

"I, well, my mom has already prepared dinner at home, so I won't go. See you later, Master He!"

After Ma Si finished speaking, he didn't wait for He Yuzhu and the others to say anything. He turned around and ran away.

"This, Sister Lan, doesn't Ma Si have a crush on you? He's embarrassed by this guy's words!"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Ma Hua. "You're the only one with good eyes? He's a level 4 fitter, how could he be interested in a widow with a baby like me?"

After everyone got in the car, Ma Hua continued, "So what? Wasn't he still getting along well with the one-to-four-people-with-the-widow-Qin before?"

He Yuzhu went up and hit Ma Hua. "What are you talking about? Why are you talking more and more!"

Ma Hua immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he quickly explained: "Sister Lan, I didn't mean anything else, please don't take it to heart."

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Ma Hua. "Alright, alright, I know you don't mean what you say, but please don't compare me with Qin Huairu in the future. I don't have her ability!"
