The next day was Sunday. He Yuzhu woke He Yushui up in the morning. The little girl mumbled,"It's finally a Sunday. Why did you wake me up so early in the morning? Can't I sleep in?”
He Yuzhu said to He Yushui while washing up,""I'll take you to make two sets of new clothes today. Are you coming?”
He Yushui's eyes widened."Really? I'll be done soon."
After saying that, she rushed out to wash up.
He Yuzhu really couldn't stand the sloppiness of his body. He planned to find a tailor shop to make a few sets of clothes for He Yuzhu, as well as two quilt covers.
In this era, quilts were usually sewn with sheets and quilts. Many quilts were made of satin, which were colorful and gorgeous, with vivid and exquisite patterns. Only the military blankets in the army used duvet covers. He Yuzhu prepared to make two duvet covers for himself just for convenience. The little girl probably wouldn't like it.
He Yuzhu returned to her room and took out some cloths of various colors from her Backpack. She wrapped them in black cloth and wrapped them into a bundle. Then, she brought her sister to an old shop on the street for breakfast and ordered fried liver and fried rings. This was a traditional snack in the old Imperial Capital.
He Yushui held the bowl in her hand and turned it around. She sipped the fried liver along the edge of the bowl while stealing a glance at the braised fire on the table beside her. He Yuzhu knocked the little girl's head dotingly and said,"Hurry up and eat. I'll bring you to eat braised fire next week.”
He Yushui put down the bowl and asked,""Really? Keep your word!"
He Yuzhu was ultimately a father in the future. His two children were about the same age as He Yushui. At this moment, he had already doted on He Yushui as if she was his daughter. In addition, it was also affected by the original body. After all, the siblings were now relying on each other. It should be said that they were each other's only family.
After breakfast, the two arrived at Di 'an Gate Street. On Sunday morning, there were still many people on the street. They found a tailor shop that looked good and walked in.
A man in his forties greeted them when he saw them enter. He Yuzhu told them their requirements. The siblings each made a set of cotton clothes and cotton pants. He Yuzhu's smock was made with the cyan and blue cotton she brought. He Yushui chose a blue base with white flowers and a red base with yellow flowers from the tailor shop to make the smock.
In this era, people would wear a smock over their cotton-padded jackets to avoid dirtying them.
After taking the size, the tailor asked He Yuzhu,""Is it enough for a little girl to enlarge her clothes by two inches?”
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic, there was a shortage of resources. Everyone would spend three years on new clothes, three years on old clothes, and three years on sewing and mending. A piece of clothing would take a few years to wear. Considering that children were still growing, they would usually make it a little bigger.
He Yuzhu said,"No need. Just make it according to her current size. It won't keep her warm if it's too big."”
He also asked the tailor to make two quilt covers with the blue cotton cloth he brought with him and a few sets of underwear for the two of them. Strangely enough, most of the cooks and tailors were women, but most of the high-level chefs and tailors were men.
Following that, He Yuzhu brought his sister on a shopping spree. There were towels, toothbrushes, pillow covers, washbasins, and other daily necessities. The original He Yuzhu's living habits were too sloppy. It was pitiful for He Yushui to follow him.
After the siblings bought their daily necessities, they went back and did a thorough cleaning. They cleaned the house and the outside, and changed the curtains. For example, He Yuzhu's original towel was used as a rag and was thrown away.
He Yuzhu looked at the cleaned house and felt that it was much brighter. He Yushui had a lot of them. After all, she was a girl, so she was usually more particular about hygiene. At this moment, the little girl was holding a few pieces of floral cloth and comparing them to see which one looked better as a curtain.
After tidying up the house, He Yingzhu took her sister to the bathhouse on the street. He gave her two yuan and told her to go in by herself. She ordered a single room bathhouse, took a bath, and had a foot massage. She felt three pounds lighter.
After coming out, He Yuzhu didn't wait for his sister. He went straight to the market and bought some vegetables and a fish. He also took a pound of pork from the system backpack and went home to make a few dishes. He asked He Yushui to help the Deaf old lady over for dinner.
In the original movie, the entire Siheyuan was just because the deaf old lady was sincere to He Yuzhu. If it weren't for her matchmaking, the He family would have no descendants. To be selfish, the Deaf Old Lady could be He Yuzhu's backer in the Siheyuan with her status.
In the original movie, Yi Zhonghai seemed to be very good to He Yuzhu, but his goal was to let He Yuzhu retire. It was fine if it was just for retirement, but he always advised him to help the little widow and matchmake He Yuzhu with the little widow. This was a little disgusting. He Yuzhu also found it unacceptable that he had kidnapped him morally and wanted to arrange his life.
Many comments said that Yi Zhonghai had an ambiguous relationship with the little widow. He wanted the little widow to give him a son and used He Yuzhu as a shield. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was obvious that Yi Zhonghai and the little widow had an abnormal relationship.
Therefore, He Yuzhu was a little disgusted with Yi Zhonghai. However, he was prepared to provide for the Deaf Old Lady from now on, including food, clothing, housing, and meals.
Two days later, Yi Zhonghai brought two middle-aged men in their forties with a big fish, a piece of meat, and a bottle of wine to He Yuzhu.""Zhu Zi, this is Director Qi from the Sixth Vixxen workshop and Master Liu from our mechanical workshop. They're here to prepare two dishes.”
He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions. He took the fish and meat and began to clean up. Soon, a few dishes were served on the table. Shredded pork in Beijing sauce, braised pork, stir-fried fish slices, and chopped pepper fish head.
He picked up some food for He Yushui and asked her to go back to her room to eat. He took off his apron and walked to the dining table. Yi Zhonghai had already filled a few wine cups and called out,""Come, have a taste of our Zhu Zi's craftsmanship.”
Director Qi and Master Liu tasted every dish and gave him a thumbs up."Zhu Zi's craftsmanship lives up to its reputation.”He then nodded at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu,"Zhu Zi, Director Qi's son and Master Liu's daughter are getting married this Sunday. Do you think you can cook for their wedding?"”
"No problem. What ingredients have you prepared? What dishes do you want to cook? How many tables do you plan to have?" He Yuzhu asked.
"We plan to make six tables. The list of ingredients is here.”Director Qi said as he handed a list to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu looked at the list and said,"Hmm, I think there should be about eight hot dishes and four cold dishes for braised pork, nine-turn large intestine, lamb with scallion, chicken stewed with mushrooms, etc. How about that?”
"Alright, Zhu Zi, it's settled then. We'll have to trouble you with our child's wedding banquet."”
"No problem. Prepare the ingredients. I'll go over to handle the ingredients after work on Saturday afternoon. I'll definitely make them for you on Sunday. Don't worry.”He Yuzhu patted his chest and said.
Director Qi's son's wedding had invited many middle-level leaders of the factory, as well as two deputy directors. Everyone ate to their heart's content. They drank less wine, and the plates were basically empty.
Director Qi stuffed ten yuan into He Yuzhu's mouth with gratitude. He also took a processed white striped chicken and a slice of pork belly before sending him out.
From then on, people would occasionally invite He Yuzhu to host red and white banquets. He Yuzhu also wanted to make more friends and expand her network to increase her income. Therefore, as long as there was no conflict, she would not reject anyone.
He could improve his life openly if he often helped others prepare banquets. He Yuzhu would bring chicken, duck, fish, and meat home every few days. The neighbors in the courtyard were all envious and jealous. However, helping others cook banquets was not considered speculation.
Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard, was a primary school teacher. Every day, he would fiddle with his pots of green plants in the yard. When he saw He Yuzhu eating either meat or fish every day, he always thought that he could take advantage of him.
At night, on the Yan family's dining table, there was a plate of salted vegetables, a plate of six cornbread, and a bowl of thin Korean porridge in front of everyone. Yan Bugui was a primary school teacher. His income was relatively low, and he still had to feed a family of six. Every day, he would eat according to his calculations. It was impossible for him to fill them up. At most, he would let them eat until they were 60 - 70% full.
Yan Bugui first picked up a cornbread and picked up a piece of salted vegetable as he said,"I did some calculations. In less than a month, Silly Zhu brought back 16 to 17 catties of pork, 4 chickens, and 6 fish.”
Aunt Yan was surprised and said,""There's so much. There's only two of them in their family and a half-grown child.”
Yan Bugui then said,"Xie Cheng is not good at studying. It seems that he is not sure about entering high school. Do you want to learn cooking from Silly Zhu?" If you want to learn how to cook, I'll sell my old face and beg Silly Zhu to see if he can accept you.”
Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and nibbled on his cornbread. After hearing his father's words, he thought for a while and said,""If I were to drop out of school to learn cooking, I would only have a primary school education.”
He was currently in the second year of middle school. Although his academic performance was not good, he was a diligent chef. Most people were really unwilling to suffer that hardship. Moreover, graduating from junior high school was considered a good academic qualification these days. He was still unwilling to drop out of school to learn cooking.
Yan Bugui thought about it and agreed. He was a self-proclaimed noble intellectual. If his son had just graduated from primary school, it would not look good. He said,"That's true. Forget it, He Yushui is also my student. That day, I mentioned to Shazhu that I would help his sister with her tutoring and asked him to take some fish and meat as tuition fees.”
Although Yan Bugui liked to scheme, he still had a bottom line. Although he was scheming, he would not take advantage of others for no reason. The Jia family was different. Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red when she saw He Yuzhu switching between chicken, duck, and fish every day. At night, he would eat porridge and cornbread. She kept muttering and cursing,
"Damn you, stupid Zhu. We're neighbors, after all. You eat so much fish and meat every day. You don't know how to be filial to your elders. He Daqing deserves it for abandoning them."”
Jia Dongxu nibbled on his cornbread and didn't say a word after hearing his mother's words. Jia Zhangshi had always been strong at home. When his father was alive, he was also suppressed by Jia Zhangshi until he couldn't lift his head up, so he could only listen and drink.
Jia Zhang-shi cursed for a long time. Seeing that her son was only eating with his head lowered, she said,"Dongxu, come back to work tomorrow when you have time. Go to Silly Zhu's house and see if there's anything good to bring back.”
Jia Dongxu was annoyed when he heard that.""How can I do that? If someone finds out, I'll lose my job.”
Jia Zhangshi nodded and said,"That's true. I'll go to his house to take a look when there's no one else."”
"No, Mom," Jia Dongxu said."There are so many colleagues from the rolling mill living in the courtyard. If someone finds out and sends the news to the factory, I'll be embarrassed."”
Jia Zhang-shi still treasured her only son very much. After hearing this, she didn't say anything more. She just kept cursing Silly Zhu for not knowing how to show filial piety to his elders. If there was delicious food, he didn't even know to send it over.
By the end of December, He Yuzhu calculated that he had earned 110 yuan in a month. Including the money he had saved and the system reward, he had earned more than 1300 yuan. This did not include the meat and vegetables that he often brought back. Recently, Xiao Yushui's face had become a lot rounder. The clothes they wore and the things they used at home had basically been changed.
During this period of time, He Yuzhu had saved up 43 points every day. He Yuzhu did not lack food and clothing, so he wanted to save up for the intermediate lottery draw. The next day was Sunday. He Yuzhu woke He Yushui up in the morning. The little girl mumbled,"It's finally a Sunday. Why did you wake me up so early in the morning? Can't I sleep in?”
He Yuzhu said to He Yushui while washing up,""I'll take you to make two sets of new clothes today. Are you coming?”

In this era, quilts were usually sewn with sheets and quilts. Many quilts were made of satin, which were colorful and gorgeous, with vivid and exquisite patterns. Only the military blankets in the army used duvet covers. He Yuzhu prepared to make two duvet covers for himself just for convenience. The little girl probably wouldn't like it.
He Yuzhu returned to her room and took out some cloths of various colors from her Backpack. She wrapped them in black cloth and wrapped them into a bundle. Then, she brought her sister to an old shop on the street for breakfast and ordered fried liver and fried rings. This was a traditional snack in the old Imperial Capital.

After the siblings bought their daily necessities, they went back and did a thorough cleaning. They cleaned the house and the outside, and changed the curtains. For example, He Yuzhu's original towel was used as a rag and was thrown away.
He Yuzhu looked at the cleaned house and felt that it was much brighter. He Yushui had a lot of them. After all, she was a girl, so she was usually more particular about hygiene. At this moment, the little girl was holding a few pieces of floral cloth and comparing them to see which one looked better as a curtain.

Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu,"Zhu Zi, Director Qi's son and Master Liu's daughter are getting married this Sunday. Do you think you can cook for their wedding?"”
"No problem. What ingredients have you prepared? What dishes do you want to cook? How many tables do you plan to have?" He Yuzhu asked.
"We plan to make six tables. The list of ingredients is here.”Director Qi said as he handed a list to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu looked at the list and said,"Hmm, I think there should be about eight hot dishes and four cold dishes for braised pork, nine-turn large intestine, lamb with scallion, chicken stewed with mushrooms, etc. How about that?”
"Alright, Zhu Zi, it's settled then. We'll have to trouble you with our child's wedding banquet."”
"No problem. Prepare the ingredients. I'll go over to handle the ingredients after work on Saturday afternoon. I'll definitely make them for you on Sunday. Don't worry.”He Yuzhu patted his chest and said.
Director Qi's son's wedding had invited many middle-level leaders of the factory, as well as two deputy directors. Everyone ate to their heart's content. They drank less wine, and the plates were basically empty.
Director Qi stuffed ten yuan into He Yuzhu's mouth with gratitude. He also took a processed white striped chicken and a slice of pork belly before sending him out.
From then on, people would occasionally invite He Yuzhu to host red and white banquets. He Yuzhu also wanted to make more friends and expand her network to increase her income. Therefore, as long as there was no conflict, she would not reject anyone.
He could improve his life openly if he often helped others prepare banquets. He Yuzhu would bring chicken, duck, fish, and meat home every few days. The neighbors in the courtyard were all envious and jealous. However, helping others cook banquets was not considered speculation.
Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard, was a primary school teacher. Every day, he would fiddle with his pots of green plants in the yard. When he saw He Yuzhu eating either meat or fish every day, he always thought that he could take advantage of him.
At night, on the Yan family's dining table, there was a plate of salted vegetables, a plate of six cornbread, and a bowl of thin Korean porridge in front of everyone. Yan Bugui was a primary school teacher. His income was relatively low, and he still had to feed a family of six. Every day, he would eat according to his calculations. It was impossible for him to fill them up. At most, he would let them eat until they were 60 - 70% full.
Yan Bugui first picked up a cornbread and picked up a piece of salted vegetable as he said,"I did some calculations. In less than a month, Silly Zhu brought back 16 to 17 catties of pork, 4 chickens, and 6 fish.”
Aunt Yan was surprised and said,""There's so much. There's only two of them in their family and a half-grown child.”
Yan Bugui then said,"Xie Cheng is not good at studying. It seems that he is not sure about entering high school. Do you want to learn cooking from Silly Zhu?" If you want to learn how to cook, I'll sell my old face and beg Silly Zhu to see if he can accept you.”
Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and nibbled on his cornbread. After hearing his father's words, he thought for a while and said,""If I were to drop out of school to learn cooking, I would only have a primary school education.”
He was currently in the second year of middle school. Although his academic performance was not good, he was a diligent chef. Most people were really unwilling to suffer that hardship. Moreover, graduating from junior high school was considered a good academic qualification these days. He was still unwilling to drop out of school to learn cooking.
Yan Bugui thought about it and agreed. He was a self-proclaimed noble intellectual. If his son had just graduated from primary school, it would not look good. He said,"That's true. Forget it, He Yushui is also my student. That day, I mentioned to Shazhu that I would help his sister with her tutoring and asked him to take some fish and meat as tuition fees.”
Although Yan Bugui liked to scheme, he still had a bottom line. Although he was scheming, he would not take advantage of others for no reason. The Jia family was different. Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red when she saw He Yuzhu switching between chicken, duck, and fish every day. At night, he would eat porridge and cornbread. She kept muttering and cursing,
"Damn you, stupid Zhu. We're neighbors, after all. You eat so much fish and meat every day. You don't know how to be filial to your elders. He Daqing deserves it for abandoning them."”
Jia Dongxu nibbled on his cornbread and didn't say a word after hearing his mother's words. Jia Zhangshi had always been strong at home. When his father was alive, he was also suppressed by Jia Zhangshi until he couldn't lift his head up, so he could only listen and drink.
Jia Zhang-shi cursed for a long time. Seeing that her son was only eating with his head lowered, she said,"Dongxu, come back to work tomorrow when you have time. Go to Silly Zhu's house and see if there's anything good to bring back.”
Jia Dongxu was annoyed when he heard that.""How can I do that? If someone finds out, I'll lose my job.”
Jia Zhangshi nodded and said,"That's true. I'll go to his house to take a look when there's no one else."”
"No, Mom," Jia Dongxu said."There are so many colleagues from the rolling mill living in the courtyard. If someone finds out and sends the news to the factory, I'll be embarrassed."”
Jia Zhang-shi still treasured her only son very much. After hearing this, she didn't say anything more. She just kept cursing Silly Zhu for not knowing how to show filial piety to his elders. If there was delicious food, he didn't even know to send it over.
By the end of December, He Yuzhu calculated that he had earned 110 yuan in a month. Including the money he had saved and the system reward, he had earned more than 1300 yuan. This did not include the meat and vegetables that he often brought back. Recently, Xiao Yushui's face had become a lot rounder. The clothes they wore and the things they used at home had basically been changed.
During this period of time, He Yuzhu had saved up 43 points every day. He Yuzhu did not lack food and clothing, so he wanted to save up for the intermediate lottery draw.
