Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

He Yuzhu added: "Of course the stuff is fresh! This is what Taihe bought this morning."

Huang Ying asked: "How much are these seafoods in total?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "110 yuan." Then he added, "Don't think it's too expensive. The price of seafood there is about 120 yuan per load. If I give you a load of a single variety, you will definitely not like it. So I will take the initiative and put together a load of four varieties of seafood for you."

"Not bad, I'll follow you in!" Huang Ying took the lead and walked in. He Yuzhu followed in pushing his bicycle.

He Yuzhu had just brought two baskets of seafood into the cafeteria of the Public Security Bureau when Zhang Hu and He Ping walked in. Zhang Hu said, "Let me see what you brought here." After that, Zhang Hu opened the lid of the bamboo basket and saw what was inside. He said, "These fish and crabs are quite big?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course! If the goods are not good, I won't send them to you!"

He Ping saw the backpack on He Yuzhu's back and asked, "What's in the backpack?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "These are the Tianjin snacks my brother brought to Yushui."

When they heard that it was for He Yushui, Zhang Hu and He Ping were speechless. Zhang Hu said, "These seafood are pretty good. But Zhuzi, it would be best if you could get some pork."

He Yuzhu replied: "I don't have the ability to do that. You can't get pork, what can I do?! Don't you have weapons?! Why don't you organize a hunting team and go into the mountains to hunt?!"

They had thought about hunting, but the higher-ups had already issued orders that they could not compete with the common people for food. So even if they wanted to form a team to go hunting, they couldn't.

He Ping sighed and said, "Forget it! Just pretend that Lao Zhang never mentioned the meat issue. Zhuzi, come with me to get the money!"

He Yuzhu said: "The money is still the same as before, just give it to my wife. I'm going back first."

"Okay!" He Ping responded, and watched He Yuzhu ride his bicycle out of the police station. He turned his head to look at Zhang Hu and Huang Ying, and said, "Old Zhang, you are really greedy. It's good enough to get these seafood now. You are so picky."

Zhang Hu said, "I heard that the steel mill has a way to get meat. I just asked casually."

Huang Ying said, "Uncle Zhang, my Zhuzi is just a cook. Where do you want him to get meat?! Do you want him to make a mistake?!"

"It's all my fault! Girl, stop talking!" Zhang Hu looked at He Ping and said, "Old He, please take a moment to divide the seafood and let our colleagues take it home after get off work."

At the same time, He Yuzhu left the police station and turned into the alley nearby. While there was no one around, He Yuzhu took out two bamboo baskets that were larger than the two bamboo baskets from the supermarket and hung them on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle, then rode the bicycle back to the courtyard.

He Yuzhu was lucky today, Yan Bugui and his wife were not at the door. He Yuzhu had just pushed his bicycle into the middle yard when he saw Xu Damao coming out of the backyard. When Xu Damao passed by He Yuzhu, he suddenly smelled a strong fishy smell and couldn't help asking, "He Yuzhu, what did you bring back?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "What else can I eat? I got some sea fish. The New Year is coming soon. I want to change the taste for my family and supplement their nutrition. My wife and I won't eat it, but the two elderly people and children in the family can't not eat it, right?!"

"You're right!" Xu Damao echoed, and asked, "Are there too many? Give me two."

Xu Damao has been behaving pretty well recently. Besides, since Xu Damao got married, he has not bothered He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was also straightforward. He opened the bamboo basket, took out two yellow croakers and two pomfret, handed them to Xu Damao, and said, "Give me five yuan!" (In the 0.4s and 0.35s, yellow croaker was 5 yuan per catty if it weighed more than taels, and yuan per catty if it weighed half a catty to taels; pomfret was cents per catty if it weighed more than catty.)

"Okay!" Xu Damao looked at the fish that He Yuzhu handed to him, and without much ado, he took out five dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into He Yuzhu's pocket. Then he took the fish from He Yuzhu's hand, turned around and walked towards the backyard with a smile.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's back, smiled, pushed the door open and walked into the house, calling out, "Grandma!" After parking the bicycle, He Yuzhu took off the backpack and said, "Grandma, Taihe is back today. These are the snacks from Tianjin that I asked him to bring back. Pick the ones you like and try them first."

Cui Juan smiled and said, "I won't eat yet. When Yu Shui and Ying Zi come back, I'll eat with them."

"Okay!" He Yuzhu agreed, and moved the two baskets of seafood to the door. Then he went into the kitchen and took out a few bamboo baskets, sorted the two baskets of seafood into the bamboo baskets, and then covered the bamboo baskets with snow and hung them under the eaves. He Yuzhu put the remaining seafood into a bamboo basket and said, "Grandma, I'll send some to my master. I'll be back soon."

Cui Juan said: "Go! Be careful on the road!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded and pushed his bicycle out.

"Zhuzi!" He Yuzhu was riding his bicycle out of Nanluoguxiang when he heard Fan Li's voice behind him. He Yuzhu stopped his bicycle, waited for Fan Li to come to the side, and asked, "Where are you going?!"

Fan Li replied, "Go home!" Then she asked, "Where are you going?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Go to your house! I'm going to give you something."

Fan Li wrinkled her nose, sniffed the fishy smell floating in the air, and unconsciously looked at the bamboo basket behind He Yuzhu's bicycle. He Yuzhu said: "My brother happened to go to Tianjin to deliver goods. I asked him to bring back some seafood. Here, I send some to your family. Everyone can try it. There will be one more dish on the New Year's table."

Fan Li opened the lid of the bamboo basket and saw the neatly arranged fish, shrimps and crabs inside. She immediately smiled brightly and said, "I'm in for a treat. But what I miss most is the braised prawns you made last time, Brother Zhuzi."

"You little greedy cat. Okay, I'll make it for you over there. Let's go!" After saying that, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle in front, and Fan Li followed closely behind on her women's bicycle.

More than 20 minutes later, He Yuzhu arrived at the master's house. Fan Li got out of the car, took out the key, opened the door, and shouted into the house: "Mom! Brother Zhuzi is here!"

Qian Cuihua heard the call, walked out of the main room, and asked with a smile: "Zhu Zi, why are you here today?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Master's wife, my brother went to Tianjin to make a delivery. I asked him to bring back some seafood. He is honest and bought a lot. Let's divide it among our families. It's cold now, so we can put the things in the snow. If it doesn't work, just wash them and rub them with salt and make them into salted goods." He Yuzhu took down the bamboo basket, picked out a dozen large prawns from it, and said, "Master's wife, Xiaoli is craving for the braised prawns I made, so I'll make some for her to satisfy her craving." After that, He Yuzhu walked to the sink with the shrimps, cleaned the shrimps swiftly, and took the shrimps into the kitchen.

Not long after, the aroma of shrimps wafted out from the kitchen. Fan Li smelled the aroma and her mouth watered unconsciously. Qian Cuihua muttered, "You girl, you are so greedy, how can you get married in the future?!"

Fan Li smiled foolishly at her mother, hugged her mother's arms tightly and said coquettishly: "I won't get married! I want to stay with you and dad forever."
