Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Days passed by. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of 1980. Lou Zhenhua's hotel was already one-third complete. Lou Xiao'e's company also began to operate normally. Anyway, now all department stores across the country have counters of Lou Xiao'e's factory.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" He Yuzhu walked to the door of Lou Xiao'e's office and knocked on it. Lou Xiao'e, who was busy with her work, heard the knock and said, "Come in!"

He Yuzhu walked into the office and asked with a smile: "Boss Lou, is business busy enough?!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu's voice, she put down the pen in her hand, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "You know you're busy, why don't you come and help?!"

He Yuzhu walked over to Lou Xiaoe and sat down, saying, "Let me deal with pots and pans, I'm good at that. But I can't do this. You should do more work if you are capable!"

Lou Xiao'e said: "When He Bing graduates next year and takes over the company, I will be able to relax a little."

He Yuzhu said: "As a father, I know best what kind of person He Bing is."

Lou Xiao'e said, "Our company will belong to the four of them sooner or later. As the eldest brother, shouldn't he make some sacrifices?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Rather than relying on them, it would be better to rely on us to give birth to one!"

"Pfft!" Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay! I'm not kidding you anymore. Tell me! What are you doing here in the company?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Chinese New Year is coming soon. I was thinking whether we can launch some gift boxes for our products."

"Gift box?!" Lou Xiao'e muttered, then understood instantly and said, "He Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a good brain?!"

He Yuzhu said, "It's not that I'm smart. It's that I met someone from the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill today. They talked about New Year's benefits. That reminded me of this. Let's make an extra gift box set. Then let the sales go to various factories to promote it. I think any leader with vision will definitely choose our gift box. In addition, we can also make customized gift boxes. Print the factory logo and factory name on the outside of the gift box. We can also place our products inside according to their factory's requirements."

After listening to He Yuzhu's proposal, Lou Xiao'e said, "He Yuzhu, I really regret agreeing to let you not come to work in the company!"

He Yuzhu stood up with a smile, leaned on the backrest of the chair, and said with a smile: "It's no use for you to regret it. I just won't come! I'll go back first. Remember to come back early for dinner." After that, He Yuzhu walked out of Lou Xiao'e's office.

Lou Xiao'e warned: "Don't just play around! Develop some new products when you have time!"

"I understand!" He Yuzhu echoed and left Lou Xiao'e's office.

After the office door was closed, Lou Xiaoe gave a bitter smile and muttered, "There's really nothing we can do about him!"

After leaving the company gate, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle, which made all the noises except the bell, and strolled down the street. As he walked, He Yuzhu ran into Lou Zhenhua who was taking a walk and asked, "Dad! Where are you going?!"

Lou Zhenhua replied: "I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk." Then he asked you, what are you doing? ! "

He Yuzhu said, "I just came out of Xiao'e's company. I was planning to go back to cook!" After that, He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "Dad, it's only two o'clock in the afternoon. How about coming to my place and I'll make you some snacks and have afternoon tea?!"

"Okay!" Lou Zhenhua agreed with a smile, sat on the back seat of He Yuzhu's bicycle, and urged: "Let's go!"

"Then hold on tight!" After saying that, He Yuzhu kicked his foot, rode his bicycle and rushed home with Lou Zhenhua.

Lou Zhenhua sat on the back seat of the bicycle, looking at the scenery on the roadside, and said: "Zhu Zi, your bicycle is too broken. How about changing it?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Dad, a bicycle is a means of transportation. It's OK as long as you can ride it. Besides, given the traffic conditions in this city, a bicycle is more convenient than anything else."

Lou Zhenhua said, "Zhu Zi, I'd like to borrow your yard for a few days."

He Yuzhu said, "Dad! You are being so formal. What do you mean by yours and mine?! We are a family, and this is our own property. You can use it as you wish." Then he asked, "Do you want me to do anything?!"

Lou Zhenhua said: "This gathering is all about old friends. Some of them came back to spend their old age now that things are calm. They will arrive at ten o'clock in the morning, and it's up to you when they leave."

He Yuzhu asked: "Dad! Do you want them to stay longer or shorter?!"

Lou Zhenhua asked back: "What do you mean by that?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "If you want them to stay longer, then we will arrange lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. If you want them to stay shorter, we will just arrange lunch."

Lou Zhenhua said: "So, this matter depends on you."

He Yuzhu understood instantly and said, "Dad! You saw that I was too idle, so you deliberately found something for me to do, right?!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled and replied: "You really figured it out!"

More than ten minutes later, He Yuzhu brought Lou Zhenhua back home. He Yuzhu first let Lou Zhenhua rest in the living room for a while, and then went into the kitchen. After about ten minutes, a burst of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen. Lou Zhenhua, who was sitting in the living room fiddling with the radio, smelled the fragrance and had no intention of fiddling with the radio. When Lou Zhenhua was about to go to the kitchen to take a look, He Yuzhu walked in from outside with a tray.

He Yuzhu put the tray on the table and asked, "Dad, what kind of tea do you want?!"

Lou Zhenhua replied: "Of course it's Jasmine!"

"Okay! I'll make it for you right away!" He Yuzhu ran to the cupboard, opened it, took out his treasured jasmine tea, carefully brewed a pot of tea, walked to Lou Zhenhua, put the teapot and teacup in front of Lou Zhenhua, then opened the lid of the steamer, spread the stacked steamers flat on the table, and said, "Dad! Try these snacks. How do they taste? Do they suit your taste?"

Lou Zhenhua glanced at the snacks on the table and said with a smile: "You're quite quick! They look no worse than the time-honored shops in Guangzhou and Hong Kong." After saying that, Lou Zhenhua picked up a shrimp dumpling, dipped it in some of He Yuzhu's secret vinegar, and put it in his mouth.

"I told you! You must be here." Just then Tan Lingya came in from outside with Lou Zhenhua's sister Lou Siqi, Charlie's mother.

"Mom! Auntie!" He Yuzhu greeted the two and immediately asked them to sit down. Tan Lingya looked at the snacks on the table and joked, "Your son-in-law treats you well?!"

"Of course! Zhuzi is much better than those damn boys!" Lou Zhenhua picked up a fish ball and put it in his mouth. Seeing Lou Zhenhua's expression, Lou Siqi laughed and said, "I heard Binghui say that Zhuzi's cooking skills are good. I didn't quite believe it before, but after seeing all the food on the table today, I believe it. Zhenhua, you and Lingya are so lucky!"

He Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything, quietly left the living room, went to the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, brewed a pot of tangerine peel Pu'er tea and returned to the living room. He placed the bowls and chopsticks and the teapot and cups in front of Tan Lingya and Lou Siqi, quietly left the living room, muttering to himself: "Why are you so mean today?! I should have not brought my father-in-law back!"
