Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 114: The Awakening of the Silly Pillar (First Update)
The deaf old lady was obviously very dissatisfied with the result.

After a brief internal struggle, I answered, “Two and a half years is too long!”

"Xiao Yang..."

"See if you can shorten it to one year!"

Director Yang said unhappily: "Old lady..."

"Do you think the punishment decisions made by the factory leaders are just a joke? They can change them at will!"

"The steel mill doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to the organization!"

"It's impossible to change it just like that..."

"I'll try to get more done and shorten the three-year labor reform to two years, but I can't guarantee it to you."

Seeing that Director Yang's face became more serious as he spoke, the deaf old lady could tell that this was the best result he could achieve.

He sighed and replied, "Two years is just two years!"

"Xiao Yang... I hope you keep your word!"

"This is the last time I'll ask you to do something for me. I'm never going to work in a steel mill again!"

…………

While the deaf old lady was trying to find connections at the steel mill, the protagonist He Yuzhu was struggling with the big pot in front of him in the kitchen of a cafeteria.

He thought about it all night in bed last night and finally decided to stay in the cafeteria and hide himself away for the time being.

The rules that Wang Dong set in the canteen were not only supported by the factory leaders, but also by most of the kitchen helpers and apprentices in the canteen. This meant that he could not find any allies even if he wanted to oppose them, let alone any reasons to convince others.

Moreover, because of his recklessness yesterday, he had offended Director Yang and was fined one day's salary.

If you don't calm down, a month's work will be wasted.

I have a younger sister to support at home.

You can eat in the cafeteria by yourself, but not in the rain.

If a month's salary was really fined because of impulsiveness, Yu Shui would have no money to buy food.

As for the Jia family!

He will not give up helping, but he will no longer be as generous as before. After all, he is a grown man and needs to save money to marry a wife.

Although Qin Huairu is very beautiful, no matter how beautiful she is, she is still someone else's wife, and not as fragrant as your own wife.

At this time, because Jia Dongxu was still alive, He Yuzhu had some feelings for Qin Huairu, but he was not as devoted to her as he was later.

Yi Zhonghai only treated him as his second elderly care provider and did not pay much attention to him, which resulted in He Yuzhu not being brainwashed deeply and still having a lot of ideas of his own.

But no matter what he thought, facing Qin Huairu's tears, could He Yuzhu reduce his financial support to the Jia family?

Facing Yi Zhonghai's great truth, could he think more about himself and He Yushui...

These are all unknowns.

After frying four large pots of dishes in a row, He Yuzhu's arms began to feel sore from constantly flipping the woks.

Ma Hua stood up at the right time and asked expectantly, "Master..."

"How about I fry the last pot and you teach me!"

He Yuzhu glared at him fiercely and replied: "Don't even think about it!"

"Three years of chopping wood, three years of flipping the wok... Don't miss a single day. When you've finished practicing, I'll teach you how to stir-fry a big pot of food!"

Ma Hua knew that He Yuzhu misunderstood that he wanted to learn cooking in advance, so he quickly explained: "Master..."

"I don't mean to learn cooking in advance, I just see that you are tired!"

He Yuzhu firmly believed in the idea of ​​"teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death", and did not believe Ma Hua's explanation in his heart. He said directly: "You go and do your own thing..."

"Don't keep coming near me!"

After saying that, he started to fry the fifth pot of food, without paying any attention to Ma Hua's increasingly ugly expression.

Wang Dong originally thought that He Yuzhu had not done anything strange this morning, and wondered if he had been stimulated and come to his senses, and was planning to start a new life!
When I heard his rebuke of MCA, a sentence suddenly popped into my mind: It is difficult to change one’s nature!
I originally wanted to give him some advice so that he could get rid of Yi Zhonghai's control as soon as possible and stop being sucked dry by the Jia family, but in the end I thought better of it.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble in the cafeteria, is willing to be sucked dry, and is willing to be controlled, that's his own business. After a day of hard work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard with an empty lunch box and a murderous look on his face.

As usual, when he entered the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu coming towards him with a smile on her face. It all seemed as if she had rehearsed it.

"Pillar……"

"Yesterday, Bang Geng kept talking about how delicious the big pot dishes you cooked were..."

"Can you give half of the box of vegetables to Banggeng so he can have a snack..."

"I heard that the canteen made pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew today. It's very oily!"

"Give me your lunch box...I'll heat it up for you!"

He Yuzhu had heard the same words before and felt particularly useful. He felt that he had a very high status in Qin Huairu's heart, otherwise she would not be waiting for him in the Central Courtyard on time every day.

Now he understood.

Qin Huairu comes here on time every day, not to wait for me, but to wait for the lunch box in my hand.

Thinking of this, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face, and he was not as enthusiastic as before when he responded.

He opened the empty lunch box and said, "Sister Qin..."

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"The cafeteria doesn't allow us to take leftovers home anymore!"

"From now on, I will even cook Rainwater's meals myself!"

Qin Huairu thought yesterday that He Yuzhu was joking with her again, but she just couldn't bring leftovers from one or two meals.

When I heard He Yuzhu say this again today and looked at the empty lunch box in his hand, I immediately believed it about 70% of the time.

But he confirmed again: "I really can't bring it with me in the future..."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I really can't bring it!"

Qin Huairu's face was filled with disappointment, and she put on a smile and said, "Forget it if there's nothing!"

"But Zhuzi, when you make something delicious in the future, don't forget the sticks!"

After saying this, he went straight to the west wing of the Jia family without looking back.

…………

"Qin Huairu, why did you come back empty-handed? Where are the leftovers that Sha Zhu brought back?" As soon as Qin Huairu entered the room, Jia Zhang stared at his empty hands and asked.

"The leftovers are gone... and they may be gone in the future... The steel mill has a regulation that no one can bring leftovers home from now on, and Sha Zhu is no exception!" Qin Huairu answered with disappointment on her face.

"What should we do then?" Jia Zhang was anxious.

"There are no leftovers from the cafeteria. Do I have to eat boiled cabbage every day..."

“Is that something people eat?”

"Qin Huairu..."

"You have to find a way..."

"It's the same as before...we eat meat every three days."

Qin Huairu felt like she had heard a huge joke. She stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Mom..."

"You are talking nonsense!"

"Dongxu only gives me 20 yuan a month, and I have to buy expensive grain. The money for vegetables, oil, and salt in a month is only five or six yuan in total..."

"It's enough to eat boiled cabbage!"

"If Zhuzi hadn't given us some food from time to time, we wouldn't even have enough white flour buns to eat, and we'd have to eat cornmeal steamed bread every day!"

"How about you ask Dongxu to give me five more dollars a month, and I promise to cook a meat meal for you and Banggeng every five days!"

"Dongxu's salary is over 40 yuan. If he gives me 25 yuan to buy food and vegetables, there will still be 20 yuan left, which is definitely enough for him to spend!"
