Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 166: The heroic He Yuzhu (first update)
A workshop in a steel rolling mill.

After giving birth to Kuihua, Qin Huairu actually walked into the steel rolling mill workshop for the first time.

Watching the busy crowd makes me excited and expectant.

From today on, she is also one of the workers in the steel rolling mill.

Following the workshop director, he walked to Yi Zhonghai's workstation: "Master Yi... Comrade Qin Huairu is Jia Dongxu's wife..."

"Jia Dongxu is your apprentice..."

"I just asked Comrade Qin Huairu, and she also wants you to be her master... I wonder if you agree to accept this apprentice."

Yi Zhonghai did not respond immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought, analyzing in his mind the pros and cons of accepting Qin Huairu as his apprentice.

Qin Huairu could see Yi Zhonghai's dilemma at a glance.

At this time, she had only one idea, which was to hold on to Yi Zhonghai and become Yi Zhonghai's apprentice.

Otherwise, as a weak woman working in a workshop, if I don’t have a backer to support me, I will definitely be bullied.

He quickly said, "Uncle..."

"You are Banggenggan's grandfather, and you are also Dongxu's master... You taught Dongxu all his locksmithing skills."

"As long as you accept me as your apprentice, I will definitely learn the locksmithing skills well. When you are old, I will definitely let Banggeng take good care of you as my godfather."

"Once a teacher, always a father. As Dongxu's daughter-in-law, I will definitely respect you well..."

Qin Huairu has said so much, if I still refuse, it would be a bit too inhumane and totally inconsistent with my personality.

Although he was a little reluctant, he still put on a happy smile and said, "Huai Ru..."

"Even if we don't have the relationship between Banggeng and Dongxu, as neighbors in the same courtyard, I, an old man, will still accept you as my apprentice..."

"From now on, you will follow me and learn locksmithing, and try to get a permanent job as soon as possible."

…………

A canteen kitchen.

He Yuzhu was very excited today.

After frying five large pots of dishes, although his arms were numb from exhaustion, he still insisted on walking to the window to get the food.

Now he has been demoted to the lowest level canteen chef. Apart from being able to cook big pot dishes, he is no different from the regular kitchen workers in other aspects.

But what was different from usual was that although He Yuzhu was also full of fatigue today, he had an expectant smile on his face from beginning to end.

Because his goddess Qin Huairu will come to work at the steel mill today.

As agreed, she will follow Yi Zhonghai to the cafeteria to get food today.

As a canteen chef, I couldn't prepare more food for him, but I could still talk to him.

"Master He, what are our plans for today?" asked a kitchen helper who was working with He Yuzhu to serve food.

Before, when the two of them worked together to serve food, He Yuzhu was always responsible for the easiest tasks, such as collecting money. The kitchen helper subconsciously thought that it would be the same today.

Just as he was about to grab the iron spoon for serving, He Yuzhu, who was standing beside him, snatched it away: "Master Wang... In the past, you served the food and I collected the money..."

"Let's switch gears today. I'll serve the food and you'll collect the money. You can also take this opportunity to have a good rest."

A look of surprise flashed across Master Wang's face, wondering what He Yuzhu was up to.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as it doesn't affect him and he can take the opportunity to rest more, he will definitely not object.

He immediately threw the iron spoon used for serving rice to He Yuzhu.

Perhaps because frying a large pot of food was too tiring and his hands were numb, He Yuzhu felt that the iron spoon that Master Wang handed to him was particularly heavy.

I felt pressured when I thought about having to use an iron spoon to serve food to hundreds of workers.

But when he thought about serving food to Qin Huairu himself, the pressure in his heart was immediately swept away, and he became excited. The food was served very quickly, and just when He Yuzhu was about to lose the iron spoon, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai appeared at the end of the team at the same time.

He Yuzhu felt as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood and suddenly felt strong again.

Soon it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to serve food.

He Yuzhu asked with a smile on his face: "Godfather...what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Pork stewed with vermicelli and some shredded potatoes... and give me three steamed breads..."

Although there are regulations in the canteen kitchen that prohibit shaking the spoon and giving extra food to workers with whom you have a good relationship.

But the spoon is in your own hands after all.

As long as it's not too excessive, it's perfectly normal to serve a few more or fewer pieces of meat.

It can be clearly felt that the pork stewed with vermicelli that He Yuzhu gave to the old man had several more pieces of pork than those in others.

There was a little more shredded potato than others, and even the three steamed buns were the bigger ones.

When it was Qin Huairu's turn, He Yuzhu smiled even more broadly, as if he had eaten candied fruit, and asked with concern: "Sister Qin..."

"What did you have for lunch?"

"One serving of shredded potatoes and two steamed buns..." Qin Huairu drooled as he looked at the dish of pork stewed with vermicelli in front of him, but in the end he still fixed his eyes on the shredded potatoes.

After starting work at the steel rolling mill, although his salary increased, he still had to pay five dollars to Jia Zhang every month.

Although he could get more than ten yuan from Sha Zhu every month, Qin Huairu was a very greedy person.

He also wanted to save more money for himself like Jia Zhangshi, just in case.

So she tries to save as much as possible on food.

Besides, He Yuzhu was standing in front of him. Given how much he envied me, he would definitely not watch me eat just one potato shred.

As long as I act more pitiful in front of him, He Yuzhu will eagerly treat me to pork stewed with vermicelli.

As expected, before Qin Huairu could continue speaking, He Yuzhu asked with a worried look on his face: "Sister Qin... you just gave birth to a child, why are you only eating this little bit? It's too unnutritious..."

Qin Huairu knew that it was time for her to play the victim, so she immediately responded, "Zhu Zi..."

"Sister Qin also wants to eat something good, but Sister Qin only has so much income..."

"Now that there is one more person in the family, it's good enough to be able to eat shredded potatoes."

He Yuzhu immediately replied: "How can this person..."

"I'll treat you to pork stewed with vermicelli at noon..."

"I'm Bang Geng's godfather, we're a family, I can't eat meat by myself and watch you eat shredded potatoes."

After saying that, he put a whole spoonful of pork stewed with vermicelli into Qin Huairu's lunch box.

Master Wang next to him was surprised and immediately reminded: "Master He, you have two servings of meat and vegetables."

He Yuzhu didn't want to lose face in front of Qin Huairu, so he immediately replied: "Two is two, and I will deduct them directly from my salary."

With Yi Zhonghai, a highly paid talent, backing him up, He Yuzhu no longer has to worry about not having enough salary. After all, he can always ask Yi Zhonghai for a loan if he runs out of money.

Qin Huairu immediately flashed a grateful smile on his face: "Zhu Zi..."

"Sister Qin doesn't know how to thank you..."

"I definitely won't be able to finish all these dishes at noon, and I can bring some back for Bang Geng and Xiao Dang..."

After that, he reached into his pocket and said, "I'll buy a few more steamed breads so I don't have to cook dinner tonight..."
