Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "There is still no news. I am so worried."

The deaf old lady said, "It's all because Zhong Hai left at the wrong time. If he were still here, he would definitely help."

Qin Huairu said, "Old lady, the old man has already passed away, so let's not talk about this. It's cold now, and you're weak, so I'll take you back!"

"Hey!" The deaf old lady responded and walked towards the backyard with Qin Huairu's support.

When Qin Huairu sent the deaf old lady to the backyard, He Yuzhu found a charcoal stove, put two pieces of charcoal in it, took the charcoal stove to the table in the living room, and then took the copper pot with the base material out. After walking back and forth five or six times, He Yuzhu finally moved all the dishes and condiments to the table in the living room.

He Yushui and Huang Ying had already walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the red bottom of the pot, He Yushui asked, "Brother, it smells good, how does it taste?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "How does it taste? You'll know after you eat it!" He walked to the cabinet next to him, opened it, took out four bottles of soda, walked back to the table, quickly opened two bottles of soda and placed them next to He Yushui and Huang Ying, and said, "Don't watch! Eat it!" He quickly mixed three small ingredients, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, put it in the pot, and rinsed it for a few times. When the meat changed color, he put the meat in Huang Ying's bowl. Afraid that He Yushui would complain, He Yuzhu rinsed another piece of mutton and put it in He Yushui's bowl.

After eating the mutton, He Yushui looked at the round things on the side and asked, "Brother, what are the meatballs on this plate?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "The black ones are beef balls, and the white ones are fish balls. These were made when the sky was empty two days ago." After saying that, He Yuzhu poured both pots of meatballs into the pot.

Huang Ying looked at the meatballs rolling in the pot and asked, "Beef is basically not available on the market. Where did you get this beef?!"

He Yuzhu answered while rinsing the meat, "Our canteen kitchen often prepares banquets for neighboring brother units. This beef was left over from a banquet for the radio parts factory some time ago. There wasn't much left, and it wasn't convenient to bring it into our steel mill canteen's small warehouse. The leader asked our kitchen to prepare it. I thought, this amount of beef wouldn't be enough for everyone. So I made all the beef into meatballs. Usually, the leftover dishes from the kitchen will be distributed to the people in the kitchen. This can be regarded as a kind of invisible benefit for our kitchen! But I don't usually ask for those things, but these meatballs are an exception."

After a while, the meatballs were puffed up. He Yuzhu saw that they were almost done and reminded them, "You can eat them now!"

He Yushui couldn't wait to pick up a beef meatball, took a bite, and immediately grimaced from the burn. He Yuzhu saw He Yushui's embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing, saying: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The same goes for eating meatballs. Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you."

"I got it! You're so nagging!" He Yushui responded impatiently, puffed up his lips and blew on the beef ball. When he felt it was almost done, he took a bite.

Because of the previous experience of He Yushui, Huang Ying became much more cautious.

After dinner, He Yuzhu cleaned up the table, said hello to He Yushui, and went out with Huang Ying. As they walked, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Huang Ying shivered unconsciously. He Yuzhu took off his coat and put it on Huang Ying.

"No, no!" Huang Ying wanted to return He Yuzhu's coat to him. He Yuzhu said, "Put it on! Don't catch a cold."

Huang Ying asked, "You gave me the clothes, what are you going to do?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and asked back: "Haven't you heard of this saying?!"

Huang Ying cooperated very well and asked, "What did you say?!"

He Yuzhu said: "A silly boy sleeping on a cold kang, the whole body is full of fire. My father gave me the nickname of Shazhu. I have been called this nickname for almost ten years. Even if I am not stupid, they still call me stupid."

Huang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or feel sad for He Yuzhu after hearing what he said. Although He Yuzhu is a big man who is usually carefree, he is actually very lonely in his heart. Huang Ying reached out and held He Yuzhu's big and strong hand. He Yuzhu felt the warmth that Huang Ying brought him and looked at Huang Ying.

The two looked at each other and smiled. He Yuzhu asked, "Are you free tomorrow?!"

Huang Ying asked: "What's the matter?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Tomorrow I will invite my grandfather's family from the countryside to have dinner at my home. I want to introduce you to them."

Huang Ying asked shyly, "Is it appropriate for me to come to your family party?!"

He Yuzhu stopped, looked at Huang Ying, and said, "It's suitable! Very suitable! You are my He Yuzhu's partner. I am dating you with the intention of getting married. It is said that dating without the intention of getting married is just hooliganism. You are a police officer, you won't act like a hooligan to a commoner like me, right?!"

"Puchi!" Huang Ying's expression was very serious at first, but after hearing the second half of He Yuzhu's words, she couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed out loud.

He Yuzhu coughed twice and said, "Be serious! I'm serious! You haven't answered my question yet?!"

Huang Ying stared at He Yuzhu for a while and asked, "Have you made up your mind?! Will you regret marrying me?!"

He Yuzhu answered firmly: "There is no word 'regret' in my dictionary." Then He Yuzhu came to his senses and asked: "Are you really willing to marry me?!"

"Who wants to marry you?! Idiot!" Huang Ying wanted to leave after saying that. But Huang Ying forgot that her hand was holding He Yuzhu's. He Yuzhu grabbed Huang Ying. Huang Ying stumbled and fell into He Yuzhu's arms. He Yuzhu hugged Huang Ying tightly.

Huang Ying rested her head on He Yuzhu's chest, listening to He Yuzhu's heartbeat. Huang Ying suddenly felt a sense of attachment. After a while, Huang Ying raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu seemed to feel Huang Ying's gaze. The two just stared at each other quietly.

After a while, Huang Ying asked with a smile: "How long are you going to hold me?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I want to hug you forever." Then he asked: "Are you willing?!"

Huang Ying smiled faintly and replied: "It depends on your performance!"

He Yuzhu reluctantly let go of her hand, and the two continued to walk towards the police station. When He Yuzhu sent Huang Ying to the door of the police station, Huang Ying said, "I'll take half a day off tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." After saying that, He Yuzhu watched Huang Ying's figure disappear, then walked back reluctantly.

At the same time, Yan Jiefang returned home. Seeing her son in such a state of disgrace, Auntie No. 3 asked, "Second brother, you went out to the toilet, why did you look like you were chased by a dog?!"

Yan Jiefang said, "Mom! I just went out to the bathroom and saw He Yuzhu sending his girlfriend home. I was just curious, so I followed him to see what was going on. I didn't expect that He Yuzhu's girlfriend lived in the police station."

"What?!" Yan Bugui came out from the inner room and asked, "Old Second, did you see it clearly?!"

Yan Jiefang replied: "I saw it clearly."

Yan Bugui muttered, "This is trouble!"

The third aunt saw that her husband suddenly became dazed and asked hurriedly, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you?!"

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly for a while and replied, "Nothing! It will be impossible for Liu Haizhong to regain power in the future! The title of the steward will completely become history for our hospital."
