Today was the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He Yuzhu, who did not have to go to work, slept until past eight o'clock before waking He Yushui up. When he started to make breakfast, he washed up beside him.
He Yuzhu teased," Oh, Yu Shui, why are you so bad? So many Young Pioneers went to the National Day Memorial Parade. You're also a Young Pioneer. Why weren't you chosen? She's too ugly."
The little girl rushed over and kicked He Yuzhu. She said angrily,"Bastard, that's not true. Our school has very few people who were selected. I was not selected because I was young. You're the ugly one. So many people went to your factory. It must be because you're ugly that you can't go!”
" Alright, the rain won't make a fuss. Go and invite the Deaf Old Lady over for breakfast. Bring a few chairs out. We should be able to see the flight echelon of the military parade from here.”
This year, a large-scale founding anniversary event was held, and the elders were all present. Unfortunately, He Yuzhu and his sister were not qualified to participate. They could not even get close to the event venue.
Fortunately, the courtyard house was about three kilometers away from the event site. There weren't many tall buildings these days, so the courtyard house hadn't been randomly built yet. The courtyard house was also very empty and didn't affect the view. From here, one could see the flight echelon in the sky of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After a while, the rain helped the Deaf Old Lady over. He Yuzhu led the old lady into the house and brought out the steamed buns and millet porridge. He also brought a plate of salted vegetables and three boiled eggs on the table.
He Yuzhu said to the deaf old lady," Old lady, in about two hours, we will be able to see the flight echelon of the National Day Memorial Event. After you finish eating, you can rest here. Later, we will move the chairs out and sit in the courtyard to watch the flight echelon of the National Day Memorial Event. It's better than standing at the event site for a few hours.”
"Alright, if I really have to go to the event venue, my old woman's body won't be able to withstand it.”The Deaf Old Lady said cheerfully.
"Old lady, silly brother said I'm ugly.”The little girl complained.
"Silly Zhu Zi is the ugly one. Our little girl Yu Shui is very handsome.”The deaf old lady said with a smile.
After breakfast, He Yuzhu brought out a chair and helped the Deaf Old Lady sit down. Yu Shui also brought out a bench and sat down next to the Deaf Old Lady.
At this moment, many neighbors were already gathered in the courtyard, chatting as they waited for the flight echelon to fly past.
The three members of the Jia family next door had also moved stools to the courtyard to chat with others. He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu sitting on a bench.
At this time, Qin Huairu was only in her twenties. She was in the prime of her youth. She was plump and pure, with beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She was charming and charming, especially with her slightly pouted lips. It was no wonder that everyone commented that Qin Huairu was the most beautiful woman in this drama.
This was the first time He Yuzhu was carefully sizing up Qin Huairu, and he could not help but be a little distracted. Qin Huairu seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look. When she saw He Yuzhu staring at her blankly, she felt embarrassed and angry. Her face turned red as she quickly turned back, and she was certain that this was an LSP.
Although He Yuzhu didn't look like the greasy hutong skewers in the original drama, he was dressed appropriately, clean and generous. His appearance was ordinary, and he even looked old. He looked four or five years older than his actual age.
At around 10 o'clock, a flight echelon consisting of more than 100 planes flew over Tianamen Square at an altitude of 600 meters. He Yuzhu's courtyard house was only 3000 meters away from Tianamen Square, so they could see it clearly.
Everyone couldn't help but jump up excitedly, waving and cheering. They were all very excited and kept clapping and high-fiving each other. At this moment, the commoners had a very sincere love for D, their leader, and their soldiers.
After lunch, He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady back to her room to rest. He also arranged the study content for He Yushui and took a book to read seriously.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, He Yuzhu finished preparing dinner. He asked He Yushui to fetch the Deaf Old Lady for dinner at mealtime. He then rode his bike to the Lou residence to help cook.
When they arrived at the Lou residence, He Yuzhu saw four or five people talking loudly in the living room. He did not disturb them and went to the kitchen after greeting them.
When they reached the kitchen, He Yuzhu was counting the ingredients when Mother Lou walked in and asked with a smile,""Little Master He, can you make a few Sichuan dishes? Today, there were two friends from Sichuan.”
"No problem. Don't worry, Mrs. Lou. I guarantee that the quality of the dishes won't be inferior to the Tan family's.”He Yuzhu replied with a smile.
At this moment, Lou Xiao'e rushed into the kitchen.""Mom, I won't be eating at home. I'm going to a dance party with a friend.”
"Who are you going with? Let's eat something before we go." Mother Lou said with concern.
"Why don't I make you a Yangzhou fried rice first? It'll be quick."”
Lou Xiao'e hurriedly said,"Then hurry up. We're in a hurry."”
Lou Xiao'e's mother patted Lou Xiao'e and said,""You're a girl.”Then he turned to He Yuzhu and said,"Sorry to trouble you, Master He."”
He Yuzhu often went to the Lou residence to help with banquets during this period of time. She was very familiar with Director Lou, his wife, and Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time. She had a lively and cheerful personality. She was doted on by her parents and came from a wealthy family. She was also supported by a group of young masters and young ladies. It was the time when she liked to play and follow the fashion.
Although many rich children still ran horses and danced as usual, living a luxurious life of debauchery, Director Lou was cautious and always restrained Lou Xiao'e, not letting her be contaminated with those extravagant habits. This time, it was those friends who brought their children. They had an appointment to go to the dance party in Tianamen Square. It was Director Lou who encouraged them to participate in such activities.
He Yuzhu first made a pot of Yangzhou fried rice and mixed a few side dishes. The young masters and young ladies hurriedly finished their food and got into the car to drive away.
The next meal was not a formal banquet. There were a few dishes of Lu cuisine and Beijing cuisine, a few dishes of Sichuan cuisine, and a bowl of clear soup bird's nest for each person. It was the representative dish of the Tan family's dishes. Lou's mother had instructed the maids to soak the bird's nest first, otherwise they would not be able to make it in time.
His cooking skills, which were close to Master Level, made the group of gluttons eat to their heart's content. Especially the two guests from Shu, they were very appreciative of the Sichuan dishes.
He Yuzhu didn't care about their toasting. He asked the maid to inform Mother Lou before he prepared to leave. Lou's mother came to the kitchen and called He Yuzhu, asking him to wait for a while. Director Lou had something to look for him.
He Yuzhu cooked two dishes for herself and ate them in the kitchen. She lit a cigarette and took out a book to read quietly in the kitchen.
In an era without computers and mobile phones, he had developed a good habit of reading books. He always carried a book with him and used this time to read a lot of Chinese and foreign classics.
After Director Lou and his wife sent the guests away, they invited He Yuzhu into the study room. The maid brewed tea and sent it into the study room. Mother Lou took it and placed it on the table before walking out to close the door.
Director Lou took a sip of tea and asked He Yuzhu,""Does Master He know how to play Go?"
He Yuzhu nodded and said,"A little."”
Director Lou took out a set of Go from the bookshelf and said,"Let's have a hand chat."
The two of them began to chat while playing chess. Director Lou said to He Yuzhu,"Little Master He, I've studied the 'sayings' that you mentioned last time, and I've learned a lot from it. However, it seems that the government hasn't done anything to the big merchants and factory owners. Many people are still running horses and dancing as usual, living a life of debauchery and extravagance.”
As he spoke, he handed He Yuzhu a cigarette and continued,"Although the public-private partnership policy was introduced this time, it was also a redemption method. The rich still enjoyed a luxurious life and were not affected much. Isn't what you're saying a little like that?”
He Yuzhu smiled foolishly and said,"You're talking about alarmist talk."”
He Yuzhu chuckled and said," Actually, I don't know much about these things. I don't know much about politics. I'm just a chef. Director Lou, if you want to talk to me about this, I'm confused." What I told you last time was just some of my learning experiences.”
Director Lou thought that this little fox really knew how to pretend, but he said,"Yes, we're also talking about our learning experiences now. Tell me about your learning experience.”
He Yuzhu didn't want to talk about it anymore. It was still too early for the 10th year of the Fengyun Era. He didn't have a deep relationship with the Lou family. Last time, he only mentioned it because he sympathized with Lou Xiao'e's experience in the original drama. In addition, Director Lou had been good to him recently.
At this moment, he only replied," Director Lou, you think too highly of me. I'm still in the stage of reading through. As the old saying goes,'Reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning'. This is only my first time reading it. How much more can I gain?"”
Chairman Lou saw that He Yuzhu did not respond. He also knew that a gentleman should not talk too much. He thought that it was better to improve their relationship first, so he said to He Yuzhu,"Two years ago, my steel mill was merged into the Red Star Rolling Mill. This time, there are two other factories that are also preparing to be merged into the rolling mill. I am also a shareholder of the rolling mill. If there is anything in the factory, you can tell me.”
He Yuzhu smiled and said,"Then I'll have to rely on Chairman Lou's guidance in the future."”
However, she still didn't answer Director Lou's questions. Director Lou was helpless. However, the current situation was still good, so he did not talk about this topic anymore. In his heart, he was thinking that he should still recommend He Yuzhu to Factory Manager Yang and raise his rank and salary. First, he had to make the favor real. Then, it would be easier to talk about other things.
Director Lou didn't treat He Yuzhu as a military advisor. He just thought that this young man had some political brains. Talking with him could give him some inspiration. He could be roped in by casually giving him some benefits that were not worth mentioning. Why not?
In ancient times, dignitaries liked to keep a group of diners and hanger-ons, which were later the Qing and Ming Dynasties. They usually helped out and planned and ran around. Among them, there was no lack of thieves. Using a small price to them might be able to exchange for a key role in critical times. It was very cost-effective.
He Yuzhu also knew his position in Director Lou's heart. He did not expect a successful person who had been in the business world for decades to be honest with a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. Moreover, he more or less had the mentality of a transmigrator being superior to the natives. No matter how good you are to me, I will give you the corresponding reward. That's all.
With his understanding of history, He Yuzhu felt that he would have gained a huge advantage if he reminded Director Lou at the critical moment. It was just a matter of whether it was worth it.
He didn't think that Director Lou would treat him as a friend, and he didn't want to marry Lou Xiao'e either. Then what kind of relationship could there be between them? It was just a few pounds of pork and a few bottles of wine. How could He Yuzhu risk exposing his secret to help Director Lou avoid future disasters? A few days ago, a general comment was enough.
