Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Yan Jiecheng was immediately stunned by the question. Although Yan Jiecheng had secretly hidden some money in the past few years, the total amount of money was only more than 30 yuan. Besides, the house was so small. It had been used to the utmost. Unless it was renovated like He Yuzhu's house. Renovating a house costs money. With Yan Bugui's stingy character, it would be better to kill him directly if he was asked to spend money to renovate the house. The street office was supposed to come to repair the back house next to it, but now there is no news at all.

Just when Yan Jiecheng didn't know how to answer, Yan Bugui's voice rang out again: "I know what you are thinking. You don't have money, but you can still get married. It's not that we don't have savings. We have some. But if you get married, the second child will have no money to get married. For the sake of the second and third children, I can lend you money. I will lend you as much money as you need for your marriage. As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow again if you have to repay. You must repay when you agree to repay. I will not count the interest. It is my support to you as a father."

Yan Jiecheng was dumbfounded. He never thought his father would say such a thing. How much should I borrow? Yan Jiecheng really had no idea. With his current salary as a temporary worker, if he borrowed too much, he would not be able to pay it back. If he borrowed too little, it would not be enough. He really felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Yan Bugui did not force Yan Jiecheng, but smiled and said, "Think about it carefully. Tell me when you have made up your mind."

After Yan Bugui left, Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses, sighed, stopped worrying about it, and hurried to work.

At the same time, He Yuzhu arrived at the factory. As soon as he parked his bicycle, He Yuzhu saw Lu Taishan coming in from the gate. He Yuzhu quietly walked over from behind, hooked Lu Taishan's shoulders, and asked, "What are you thinking about?! You are so lost in thought?!"

Lu Taishan came back to his senses and said, "I didn't think about anything?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and joked, "You haven't thought about anything yet?! I saw from a distance that you looked distracted. Are you thinking about your partner?!"

"Partner?!" After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lu Taishan's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be calm and said, "I don't have a partner."

He Yuzhu said, "You don't have a partner? That's great! I'll ask my wife to introduce you to someone. Anyway, you have a stable job now, so it's time to think about this."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was not joking, Lu Taishan hurriedly said, "Your wife is so busy at work, so I won't bother her. I'll take care of finding a partner myself!"

He Yuzhu reached out and slashed the back of Lu Taishan's head, saying, "Are you still playing tricks on me?! I've seen it all, and you still want to hide it?!"

Lu Taishan scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "We just started talking, and we haven't even started yet?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Dating someone without the intention of getting married is just hooliganism. Take it easy, kid. If you've made up your mind, tell your third uncle and aunt so they can prepare things and come to propose marriage. If you're not interested, tell the girl as soon as possible. Don't try to take advantage of her when the time comes."

Lu Taishan said: "Don't worry! I know what's going on."

"It's enough to know!" He Yuzhu echoed, and asked: "Where is the target from? Where does he work?!"

Lu Taishan knew he couldn't evade the question, so he could only tell the truth: "The girl's name is Liang Qiuyu, she graduated from high school and works as a warehouse keeper in a component factory. Her father is the workshop director of the component factory, and her mother is a member of the factory's labor union. She also has two older brothers who are in the army. She also has a younger sister and two younger brothers who are all studying now."

"Hey?! You're lucky!" He Yuzhu joked, and the gossip fire in his heart instantly burned up, and asked: "How did you two know each other?!"

Lu Taishan glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "I know her myself! Her hometown is Mentougou. Last time I went to deliver something, she happened to miss the long-distance bus back to the city. I took her for a while. Later, we met a few more times on the road. Two months ago, I delivered something to their factory and she happened to pick her up. Later, we became familiar with each other. After a few visits, we started dating."

He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up and said, "You're great, kid! Now that you have a partner, it's time to prepare a house for your marriage. I'll be a good person and I'll go to the street office after get off work this afternoon and ask for you." After that, He Yuzhu gave Lu Taishan a look that said "do a good job" and turned and left.

Watching He Yuzhu's back gradually going away, Lu Taishan muttered: "Okay! It seems that this matter can't be kept secret. Find a chance to say hello to Qiuyu and take her to see grandpa and grandma."

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and prepared the food for the canteen today. He then went to Li Huaide with a fish basket. To He Yuzhu, Li Huaide was his money bag. Many things that could not be taken out could be passed through Li Huaide.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" He Yuzhu arrived at the door of Li Huaide's office and knocked on the door. Li Huaide heard the knock and shouted, "Come in!"

He Yuzhu walked into the office, closed the door, walked to Li Huaide's side, put the fish basket at Li Huaide's feet, and said, "Brother Li, this is given to me by my friend. I can't finish it, so I'm sharing it with you."

Li Huaide glanced at the things in the fish basket, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Zhu Zi, you are so polite."

He Yuzhu said, "Who are we talking to?! Also, I asked for you, the next batch of meat will arrive before New Year's Day. It will be about 3,000 kilograms."

Li Huaide said: "There is a lot of meat, but it takes too long. Can you talk to them and ask for less meat and a shorter time?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Brother Li, let me tell you the truth! They have raised a lot of pigs in the mountains, and those that have reached the standard have already been slaughtered. Now the remaining ones are not up to standard. If you really need it urgently, I can help you urge it at most. As for whether it can be advanced, that's hard to say."

Li Huaide suddenly remembered his mother-in-law's birthday and said, "Zhu Zi, a friend of mine has a birthday. I want to get something. Do you have any connections?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Birthday?! That's easy! Give me the list and I'll run over. I'll take whatever is available. I'll take it to the Beixin Hutong warehouse when the time comes."

Li Huaide showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you the list tomorrow morning. You don't have to go to work tomorrow afternoon. I'll approve your leave."

"Okay! I'll take care of this tomorrow! If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!" After saying that, He Yuzhu got Li Huaide's permission and left the office.

After He Yuzhu left, Li Huaide couldn't wait to pick up the fish basket and look at the turtle inside. He smiled and said, "It's quite big. I'll take it to honor my father-in-law today." Then Li Huaide showed a regretful expression on his face and muttered, "It's a pity that I can't enjoy such a good thing."

After leaving Li Huaide's office, He Yuzhu started to wander around the factory. After a round, it was almost time. He Yuzhu said hello to Li Huaian and left work directly.
