Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 25 Deputy Director Li Arrives
He Yuzhu was in the crowd, and after reading the notice, he also heard a lot of well-informed discussions.

"At that time, Jia Dongxu had half of his body cut off due to equipment failure..."

"Oh, stop talking, it's scary to hear!" Some female comrades were so scared when they heard such remarks that they couldn't help but speak up to stop them.

Some male comrades who were curious about the situation said: "What's the big deal? We are learning from experience and lessons. There is nothing to hide."

"Come on, I think you are just satisfying your curiosity!" Several female comrades were a little indignant and simply left together, too lazy to listen.

He Yuzhu was standing nearby and after listening to the general idea, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

The accident was caused by a malfunction of the factory equipment. Jia Dongxu's death was tragic enough, and I'm afraid he didn't even have a complete body left.

No one was at Jia's house last night. I'm afraid the leaders from the steel mill were there with him and took him to the cremation. As for the follow-up, it was nothing more than discussing compensation. He Yuzhu didn't know the specifics, but one thing was certain, that is, Qin Huairu would take over Jia Dongxu's work position. This was also a form of compensation from the steel mill.

He Yuzhu shook his head and did not stay any longer, walking towards the kitchen.

Although the accident caused a lot of discussion in the steel mill, it was the end of the year after all, and the steel mill would be closed for the holiday in two days. Everyone's attention was not fully focused on this, and they soon turned to discussing some matters related to the New Year.

In the kitchen of the canteen, everyone was working very hard because of the New Year. They were all thinking about getting paid and going to the market to buy two taels of pork, mostly fat, so that they could eat pork and green onion dumplings during the New Year!
The factory leaders were busy with various chores, and with Jia Dongxu's emergency, there would definitely be no more receptions. So, after cooking in the morning, He Yuzhu simply took another day off in the afternoon. He wanted to finish decorating the two rooms in his home before the end of the year.

He had contacted the craftsman a while ago and made some corrections to the frame of the house.

Today, the facades of the two rooms in the central courtyard have been repainted by the master. The color has changed from the previous dull and shabby color to look quite good.

As for the interior, He Yuzhu asked the master to divide the house of more than 40 square meters into three spaces.

One is naturally the master bedroom, which is the bedroom where he and his wife will live in the future. There is space reserved for a double bed, a wardrobe and a dressing table.

The living room has a sofa, a coffee table, two wooden chairs, a new round table, a sewing machine in the corner, an iron tripod and a stove.

The last room separated out has only space reserved for a small bed, which is prepared for his own child in the future. The rest of the furniture will be decided later.

Now, the rough framework of the room has been completed. What remains is to let the craftsman bring back the custom-made furniture one by one.

Because of this, Ma Hua also followed He Yuzhu today. The furniture makers and movers were all handed over to Ma Hua.

He Yuzhu himself rode his bicycle to the shop on West Street, where he made two large quilts. The cotton alone cost him 13 kilograms of cotton. The double quilt for himself and his wife weighed 8 kilograms, and the one for Yu Shui weighed 5 kilograms.

This amount is definitely full of sincerity. After all, cotton is a precious commodity, and ordinary people don’t have many cotton coupons throughout the year. Most of them have a cotton quilt, which they use for several years without changing. Therefore, it is not only not warm, but also often smells.

...Two days later, the steel mill was closed for holiday.

Courtyard No. 95 is more lively than usual.

The two rooms in He Yuzhu's house were finally renovated before the end of the year.

During this period, He Yuzhu was busy decorating the house, especially in the past two days, doing the final finishing work and helping to make furniture. The decorating masters moved all kinds of new furniture in and out of the yard every day, which was seen by the residents in the yard.

Every time we come, we stare at the furniture that these craftsmen are moving. There are new chairs, new tables, and even new sofas. Everyone realizes that Zhuzi's family is really powerful. How much does it cost to complete this set?
During this time, several neighbors couldn't help but come to greet Zhuzi and wanted to see the newly renovated house. After entering the He family's gate, these people were so envious. As expected of the Eight Great Members, they are so generous!
He Yuzhu did not refuse the neighbors who came to visit him. He also wanted to let everyone know about his family's conditions so that he could find a good wife as soon as possible.

That day, He Yuzhu was parking his Phoenix brand bicycle in the yard and wiping the body when he heard footsteps outside the yard.

Soon, He Yuzhu saw a familiar figure.

"Deputy Director Li?"

The man who came was Li, the deputy director of the steel mill, whose lover was Liu Lan's. Behind him, there were several middle-aged men wearing Zhongshan coats. Judging from their appearance, they were probably some leaders of the steel mill. There were four people in total.

As soon as Deputy Factory Director Li entered the middle courtyard, he saw He Yuzhu next to the bicycle. His eyes lit up immediately: "Master He."

After hearing what Deputy Director Li said, the other leaders of the steel rolling mill also looked at He Yuzhu.

"Master He? Is that the Master He from the kitchen in our factory cafeteria?"

As the most popular chef in the steel rolling mill in recent days, He Yuzhu's name is quite famous in the steel rolling mill, especially at the leadership level.

Apart from anything else, this is the master chef that both Director Yang and Director Lou praised highly! Moreover, it goes without saying that these leaders have all tasted He Yuzhu's cooking skills, and he is indeed worthy of this reputation.

However, not many leaders in the factory had seen He Yuzhu. After all, the canteen was mainly responsible for the food of ordinary workers, and when their leaders cooked special meals or prepared hospitality meals, He Yuzhu asked the people in the kitchen to serve the dishes directly, so not many people really knew He Yuzhu.

Of course, this does not include Deputy Director Li. Just as for his lover Liu Lan, Deputy Director Li has met He Yuzhu more than once.

Before, Deputy Director Li had the impression that He Yuzhu was a troublemaker with a bad temper. However, after He Yuzhu demonstrated his skills, his status among the leaders rose rapidly, so Deputy Director Li tactfully avoided friction with him.

Just at this moment, a courteous and even flattering voice suddenly came from the backyard.
