Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Faced with He Yuzhu's repeated questioning, Liang Lazhi had no choice but to speak out the questions in her mind.

"Pillar……"

"I just received a notice from the street office that Ermao is also on the list of people going to the countryside this time."

"If we can't find a factory to accept us within ten days, we will go to the countryside to work with other educated youth in half a month at the latest."

"As a mother, I don't have the ability to find him a job in the city, so I can only try to get him some more food coupons so that he won't starve even if he goes to the countryside."

"I haven't had time to eat with you these past few nights..."

"I need to go to a few pigeon markets nearby to see if I can exchange them for some food coupons or something."

"Let Ermao take it with him when he goes to the countryside."

"When we got to the countryside and there was really no food to eat, we had to find a way to buy food from the grain station."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu fell silent instantly.

He had also heard about the idea of ​​educated youth going to the countryside to work, and the street had even done publicity for it in the courtyard.

But he didn't expect that Ermao was also on the list of people going to the countryside.

No wonder Sister Liang has been in a very bad mood these days.

Ermao, a teenager, left the city and went to the countryside to work alone. As a mother, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sorry for him or worry about him.

As he was thinking, a very bold idea suddenly appeared in He Yuzhu's mind.

If I can help Ermao find an apprenticeship job in the old city and save him from going to the countryside, Sister Liang will definitely be very grateful to me, and maybe I can become his girlfriend.

Quickly comforted: "Sister Liang..."

"There's nothing we can do about this kind of situation..."

"There are still more than ten days left. I can help you take a look..."

After saying that, he ran straight to the backyard with a pound of fat meat in his hand.

Cut the meat, roast it, fry it...

In less than half an hour, he had put a large bowl of fragrant braised pork into the bowl.

The strong smell of meat instantly filled the entire backyard, and many residents couldn't help but take a look at He Yuzhu's house.

But after cooking, Sha Zhu did not put the food on the table and eat it himself. Instead, he took out a large bowl, covered the braised pork with it, held it in his arms, closed the door, and went straight to the east wing in the front yard.

The Chen Jun sister was placing food on the dining table.

Although Wang Dong and Chen Jun were a cadre and a technician respectively, they both received at least seven or eight kilograms of meat coupons every month.

But my father-in-law Chen Dehui is used to being frugal.

Unless it is New Year or other festivals to celebrate, the meals at home are still mainly vegetables, with at most pork stewed with potatoes, or bacon stewed with radishes.

I only eat big dishes like braised pork three times a month at most.

Except for some fried celery with bacon, the rest of the dinner table tonight is all vegetables.

Just as the five people were sitting around a table preparing to eat, He Yuzhu suddenly appeared at the door.

"Uncle... Director Wang, I got a piece of fat meat today and I'll add a dish for you..." He Yuzhu said as he put the bowl of food in his hand on the table.

When you open the big bowl covering the braised pork, the aroma of the meat quickly fills the entire room.

Father-in-law Chen Dehui subconsciously refused: "Zhu Zi..."

"What are you doing?"

"You can keep this delicious braised pork for yourself, take it back quickly... or else the old man will be angry."

Sha Zhu quickly shook his head: "Uncle..." "The dishes are already on the table, there is no reason to take them back. Let Director Wang have a taste of my cooking skills."

Seeing that He Yuzhu insisted on leaving this bowl of braised pork here, Chen Dehui had no choice.

Seeing Wang Dong nodding at him, he said decisively: "Since you insist so much, I can accept the braised pork, but you must eat here tonight."

"After saying that, he turned to his wife and said, "Hurry up and prepare a set of bowls and chopsticks for Zhuzi."

"By the way, fry some eggs. It's quick and can be served right away."

He Yuzhu is a person who cares a lot about his reputation and doesn't ask for help easily.

Today he actually took the initiative to bring over a bowl of braised pork. Although he said that he wanted to taste his cooking skills, Wang Dong knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Originally, Wang Dong wanted to refuse.

After all, He Yuzhu is not a worry-free person.

I'm living a good life and I don't want to get involved with him no matter what.

But when the words came to his lips, Wang Dong swallowed them back.

If I remember correctly: He Yuzhu hasn't spoken a word to Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu for a long time. Every time they meet, they act like enemies.

Not only that, He Yuzhu was particularly close to Liang Lazhi, and he looked like he wanted to find Liang Lazhi as a partner, and he wanted to be close to her whenever he had time.

If He Yuzhu really wanted to ask me for help, it was probably for Liang Lazhi.

If that's the case, then this matter is still worth helping.

Anyway, as long as the matter that He Yuzhu asked him for help had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, Wang Dong was still willing to help.

Half an hour later, Wang Dong and He Yuzhu walked out of the courtyard.

After making sure there were no outsiders around, He Yuzhu said without further ado, "Director Wang..."

"Sister Liang has been worried about Ermao's going to the countryside these days."

"You are the kitchen manager of the steel mill. You must have apprentice quotas. Can you sell me one for two cents?"

"As long as Ermao gets a job at the steel mill, even as an apprentice, he won't have to go to the countryside."

"Sister Liang will definitely be very grateful to me by then, and maybe our relationship will work out."

Wang Dong immediately showed a relieved expression on his face. He did not refuse, but frowned and asked back: "Are you sure this apprenticeship quota is bought for Ermao, not for Zhongyuan Banggeng?"

"As far as I know, Bangteng is also on the list of those going to the countryside this time."

He Yuzhu answered confidently: "Director Wang, please stop joking with me. I have no relationship with the Jia family and Qin Huairu. Whether Banggeng goes to the countryside or not has nothing to do with me."

"Just tell me for sure whether you have any apprenticeship vacancies."

"Even if it's an apprenticeship in the kitchen, it's no problem..."

"Ermao has a great talent for cooking. If he really gets a job in the steel mill kitchen, I'll take him in as my apprentice so he can learn a skill."

"Sister Liang will definitely agree to be my partner by then."

"My current monthly salary is 37.5 yuan. After deducting various expenses, I can save at least 20 yuan every month."

"Although I can't give you the money to buy an apprenticeship quota right away, I will definitely be able to save it up in a year and a half at the latest."

"If it doesn't work, I'll go find some rainwater..."

"She still has my 1,000 yuan savings. I'll ask her to help me out first, and I'll pay her back when I have enough money saved."

"I've inquired, and now an apprenticeship position is about 300 yuan. I'll give you 350 yuan..." (End of this chapter)
