Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

The next morning, just after dawn, the aunt got up and had a simple breakfast. She hurried out of the house. After jogging for about 20 minutes, she arrived at the gate of the steel mill. The guard on duty came out of the communication room, stopped the aunt, and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?!"

The lady said, "I am Yi Zhonghai's lover. I want to meet your factory director."

"Comrade, it's not time to go to work yet, and the leader hasn't arrived yet. Please wait at the door!" After saying that, the guard returned to the communication room. Another guard in the communication room, Xie Juntang, asked, "Xiao Zhao, who is this old woman?!"

Zhao Xiaobing replied: "She said she was Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law. She probably came to ask the factory leaders to protect Yi Zhonghai."

"Bao Yi Zhonghai?! She has made a wrong calculation." Zhou Ning, captain of the second security brigade, walked out from the lounge at the back.

"Captain, what's the point of this?!" Xie Juntang took out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning took the cigarette, gave him a look that said "you kid is sensible", took out a matchbox, lit a cigarette, and said, "Before leaving get off work yesterday, the Public Security Bureau called our factory office. The factory director and others have to go out for a meeting these two days. The leaders were afraid of delaying things, so they held a factory meeting yesterday. The punishment plan for Yi Zhonghai has been decided. Yi Zhonghai will be expelled. Yi Zhonghai's apprentice will be arranged separately by the workshop directors. When we go to work today, the notice will be posted."

Zhao Xiaobing asked: "Captain, I heard that it was our No. 3 canteen chef He Yuzhu who sued Yi Zhonghai?!"

Zhou Ning glanced at Zhao Xiaobing and said, "Although it is related to He Yuzhu, it was not He Yuzhu who reported the case. It was the post office that reported the case. If the post office does not report the case, He Yuzhu will target the post office and the money will be paid by the post office. Can the post office pay?! But then again, this Yi Zhonghai is really ruthless! If anyone knew that they had been cheated for so many years, they would not let him go."

Zhao Xiaobing said: "I'll go and chase Yi Zhonghai's wife away!"

Zhou Ning held Zhao Xiaobing and said, "No need to chase her away. Let her wait! When it's time to go to work, she will leave naturally when she doesn't see anyone."

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, workers arrived one after another. At about 7:30, the peak came. The aunt looked around but didn't see the factory leader. Just when the aunt was at a loss and was about to ask the guard, a large group of workers gathered in front of the notice board at the factory gate, looking at the notice that had just been posted on the notice board and whispering to each other.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu walked past the aunt. The aunt grabbed Jia Dongxu and shouted, "Dongxu!"

When Jia Dongxu saw the old lady, he was slightly startled and asked, "Why are you here?!"

An old lady said, "I want to meet your factory manager. Dongxu, can you take me into the factory?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "Master's Wife, it's not that I don't want to take you in. Even if I take you in, you won't be able to see the leader!"

"Jia Dongxu, what are you still doing here?! The factory's decision on the punishment of your master is posted on the notice board. Go and take a look!"

When Jia Dongxu heard what his colleague said, he immediately broke free from the hand of the aunt holding him, ran into the factory, and swiftly squeezed into the crowd standing in front of the notice board. He quickly scanned the contents of the notice board, and then he was happy. Then he pretended to be sad, walked out of the crowd, walked up to the aunt with his head down, and said, "Master's wife, you are late. The factory has decided to fire my master."

"What?!" The auntie screamed, her eyes went dark, and she fainted. Jia Dongxu hurriedly supported the auntie and shouted, "Master's wife! Master's wife! Wake up!"

The security personnel heard the shouting and came over. Zhou Ning asked, "What's going on?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "She is Yi Zhonghai's wife. When she knew that Yi Zhonghai was fired, she fainted."

Zhou Ning glared at Jia Dongxu and said, "What are you still standing there for? Send him to the infirmary!"

"Hey!" Jia Dongxu responded, picked up the old lady and ran to the factory's infirmary.

Looking at Jia Dongxu's back, the workers began to talk among themselves. He Yuzhu walked to the factory gate and listened to the workers' discussion, with a strange smile on his face.

"Zhuzi!" He Yuzhu had just walked into the canteen kitchen, and before Liu Lan entered the factory, Sister Park, the gossip leader of the canteen kitchen, appeared in front of He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu asked, "Sister Park, what can I do for you?!"

Sister Park said, "Zhu Zi, I usually think Yi Zhonghai is a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be such a nobody."

He Yuzhu said: "I don't know whether he is a good person or not. But there is one thing I can be sure of. His heart is darker than the briquettes in the briquette shop." Then He Yuzhu told Sister Park all the unknown side of Yi Zhonghai in one go, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, not only Sister Park, but also everyone else in the cafeteria felt that Yi Zhonghai was not a human being. No wonder he couldn't have children. However, He Yuzhu soon revealed a shocking news. He Yuzhu asked casually, "Sister Park, have you seen the son of Jia Dongxu from our factory?!"

Sister Park answered very honestly: "I haven't seen it!"

He Yuzhu said: "You will understand when you see it."

Sister Park stopped He Yuzhu who was about to leave and said, "Zhuzi, you've whetted my appetite. But you're not talking anymore. What do you mean by this?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Sister Park, it's not that I don't want to tell you. Some things are more interesting if you discover them yourself than what others say." After that, He Yuzhu gently pushed Sister Park away, walked to Master Yang, and asked, "Master Yang, what's for lunch today?!"

Master Yang replied, "Today's lunch is braised tofu, shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with lard, and chili peppers with vinegar. The soup is egg drop and pickled mustard greens soup."

He Yuzhu said, "The workers are tired of eating braised tofu all the time. Let me make it today. I'll make mapo tofu. Everyone, please work hard today and cut and prepare the vegetables. I'll do the rest."

Master Yang asked: "Zhu Zi, do you have time to fry so many dishes?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Master Yang, remove the last word 'ma'. Just wait and see!" He Yuzhu walked to the side of the potato cutting, picked up a potato, and started to cut it skillfully. Seeing that He Yuzhu had also started, everyone stopped resting and got busy.

The auntie woke up not long after being sent to the infirmary. After waking up, the doctor in the infirmary helped to do a simple examination, and after giving the auntie some instructions, the auntie was sent out of the steel mill. Just as the auntie returned to the courtyard, the factory broadcast sounded. The content of the broadcast was the news that Yi Zhonghai was fired.

Liu Haizhong, who was drinking tea, heard the broadcast and felt refreshed! Yi Zhonghai had suppressed him for so many years, and finally he was surpassed by him. At the same time, Xu Damao, who was fiddling with the projector, looked at Xu Wude and asked, "Dad, why do I feel that Sha Zhu has changed recently?"

Xu Wood replied, "You're not the only one who thinks Sha Zhu has changed. Everyone thinks so. But I think he hasn't changed. He just hid it too deeply in the past. You've always been at odds with him. Stay away from him in the future. There's no need to provoke him."
