Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After eating the oxtail, Lou Xiao'e ate the nine-turn large intestine. Soon, Lou Xiao'e tasted all the six dishes that He Yuzhu brought. He Yuzhu asked expectantly, "How is it?!"

Lou Xiao'e deliberately pretended to be mysterious, looked at He Yuzhu, and then blurted out two words: "Qualified!"

"What?!" He Yuzhu was stunned and asked, "Only reached the qualified level?!"

Lou Xiao'e put down her chopsticks and said, "You pay attention to the color, aroma, taste and shape of your dishes. But don't forget that the mood of the diners is also important. When you are in a good mood, everything tastes good. When you are in a bad mood, even the most delicious food tastes like chewing wax. Do you think I can be in a good mood for the lunch today?!"

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Well! Today's work is in vain."

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Why?! Do you have a problem with me?!"

He Yuzhu was about to answer, but was deeply attracted by Lou Xiaoe's dress. Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't say anything, Lou Xiaoe looked at He Yuzhu unconsciously. When she saw that He Yuzhu was staring at her intently, she immediately showed a shy look on her face and asked, "What are you looking at?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I was looking at you!" Then He Yuzhu shuddered, came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and replied, "I didn't see anything?!"

Lou Xiao'e kept asking, "Why are you so absorbed in watching something? Is it good?!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "It looks good!" Then, he looked at Lou Xiao'e seriously and asked, "Lou Xiao'e, are you willing to date me?!"

Lou Xiao'e's heart, which had already turned cold, suddenly became warm again. She trembled unconsciously for a few times and said, "He Yuzhu, this is not a joke!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I'm not kidding. I've thought it through very clearly."

Lou Xiao'e then asked, "Aren't you afraid that my father won't agree with us?!"

He Yuzhu said: "If your parents don't agree, you can take your time. As long as you agree, it's fine. Besides, I, He Yuzhu, really don't like the little melons and dates in your family."

Lou Xiao'e's face changed, and she stood up suddenly. She used her invisible hand skill silently, twisted He Yuzhu's ear, and said, "You stinky cook! Do you still look down on my family?!"

"Don't twist it! Don't twist it! My ears will fall off if you twist them again!" He Yuzhu covered his ears and begged for mercy, saying, "Your family has your way of making money. I have my way of making money. Over the years, I have made as much as your family."

Lou Xiao'e let go of her hand and said in disbelief, "He Yuzhu, even though I'm in Hong Kong Island, I know the situation in China very well. Even if you can make a lot of money, you can only make a few hundred dollars a month at best. Besides, you don't usually do private cooking jobs, so based on your salary, you can only make two hundred dollars a month at best."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about my affairs?! It seems you have feelings about me too?!"

"Who has feelings for you?!" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e sat down again and continued to eat. After a few minutes, Lou Xiao'e noticed something was wrong, looked at He Yuzhu, and asked, "Why aren't you eating?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "These are all prepared for you. I just need to watch you eat."

Lou Xiao'e shuddered involuntarily and said in a harsh voice: "He Yuzhu, do you really want to fatten me up?!"

He Yuzhu lied in a serious tone, "That's right! I really want to fatten you up. If you get fat, others won't like you anymore. You have no choice but to marry me."

"Toad wants to eat swan meat! You wish!" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e stopped paying attention to He Yuzhu and continued to eat. He Yuzhu said, "A toad who doesn't want to eat swan meat is not a good toad." Then he asked, "Can a toad like me eat a noble white swan like you?!"

Lou Xiao'e pushed He Yuzhu and said shyly, "He Yuzhu! Seriously! Don't disturb me while I'm eating!"

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded and shut his mouth obediently.

After eating a few more bites of food, Lou Xiao'e thought of He Yuzhu's four children and asked, "You bring me food, what about the children?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "They all went back to school. They have classes tomorrow." Then he asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "Tomorrow I plan to go to the district to find someone to handle the house exchange. Then I will find someone to repair the small building we originally lived in."

He Yuzhu said, "Leave the house repair to me! I'll find a master for you later. You can just tell him your ideas when the time comes."

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Is the person you found to repair the house reliable?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Don't worry! You saw my house, it was built by those people. There is absolutely no problem."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered what He Lin and He Qing said, and asked curiously, "He Yuzhu, I heard from your daughter that you have a house somewhere else. Why are you willing to live alone in that yard and not move out?!"

He Yuzhu said: "This is a secret! Only my wife can know it?! If I tell you this secret, will you marry me?!"

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said, "He Yuzhu, you are really old-fashioned. You think you can do this. If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

He Yuzhu said, "Lou Xiao'e, don't try to provoke me! As long as we get the certificate, I will tell you the secret. Otherwise, forget it!"

"You stingy guy! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e turned her grief and anger into appetite and finished all the dishes that He Yuzhu brought.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Lou Xiao'e got up early and went directly to the district to find someone to handle the housing matter. He Yuzhu returned to the factory after his vacation.

Sister Song saw He Yuzhu and asked with a smile: "Master He! Where have you been these two days? We missed you so much!"

He Yuzhu said, "You guys! You're not thinking about me! You're thinking about the food I cooked!" Then he asked, "Is there nothing going on in the factory these two days?!"

Sister Song replied, "There are things happening in the factory every day. It's just the difference between big things and small things. The factory leaders have been holding meetings in the conference room every day these past two days. They seem to be discussing the repayment of the money to the Lou family. Some people advocate repayment. Some people don't want to. Now it's a stalemate! In addition, there are rumors that Director Yang has submitted a retirement report and is now waiting for approval from above."

He Yuzhu took today's menu, looked at it, signed it, and said, "The tertiary industry needs to be expanded. We are still short of people there. You guys discuss it, who is willing to go over there, tell me in advance, and I will find a way to transfer you over."

As a time traveler, He Yuzhu knew the future of the steel mill. Although he couldn't say it openly, he could secretly help those who could be helped. Just last year, He Yuzhu used his connections to transfer Lv Taihe out of the steel mill and transferred him to the city to drive for the leaders. As for the other few, they were also transferred to other places by He Yuzhu. Anyway, when the wave of layoffs comes in the future, they will not be washed away by this wave.

Sister Song said: "This is great! We have heard that the tertiary industry has good benefits. But we just can't go there."

"Yes!" The other kitchen helpers also echoed. He Yuzhu said: "Don't make a fuss, the number of people we are recruiting this time is limited. It is impossible for us to go. It is not a problem for ten people from the entire kitchen to go. If you can't decide, draw lots. Whoever draws the lot will go." Then he changed the subject and urged: "Okay! Don't be idle, hurry up and work! There will be plenty of time for you to discuss in the afternoon." After that, He Yuzhu turned and left.
