I am He Yuzhu in Siheyuan

"Silly pillar! Silly pillar!"

He Yuzhu was cooking porridge. He got up early today and made some scallion pancakes. He was about to wake up Yushui when he heard a shout.

I went out to see which one it was... It turned out to be Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, why are you howling so early in the morning!"

"Hey! Silly Zhu, I'm going to tell you today that I'm going to work in the steel mill with my dad to learn how to be a projectionist. How about that? It's better than a stinky cook like you who can only serve people, right?"

When the neighbors who were cooking in the yard heard it, they all went out to watch the fun. Some were sweeping the floor with brooms, some were holding washbasins and towels, and some were squatting on the doorstep with bowls.

"Hey! Xu Damao, you come here to say this so early in the morning. Were you expelled from school?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile while drinking a glass of water.

"You idiot, I just want to serve the people better. Wait for me for a few days and I will be a projectionist. Aren't you envious?" Xu Damao replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see. So why did you come here so early in the morning just to tell me this? You didn't see me making scallion pancakes and wanted to come over to eat for free, did you?"

"Who would like to eat the food cooked by a stinky cook like you? I'm here to tell you today that I want to be a projectionist, which is better than a stinky cook like you!" Xu Damao said after swallowing.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Get out of here now. I want to eat. Don't disturb me."

"Silly Zhu, you are envious and jealous. I study better than you, have a higher education than you, look taller than you, and now I have a better job than you." Xu Damao looked like a smug villain.

He Yuzhu took a sip of water, then suddenly picked up the cup and threw it forward, splashing Xu Damao's shoes. He put the cup down and suddenly ran two steps towards Xu Damao.

Xu Damao jumped up to avoid the water, then saw He Yuzhu coming over, and ran away, looking back and saying,

"Hey, hey, I can't catch up."

Then he ran home. On the way, a neighbor shouted, "Don't run, Damao, go back and practice with Shazhu."

"Yes, Damao, don't be afraid, Shazhu doesn't dare to do it."

Xu Damao ignored him and went straight home.

"Brother, Xu Damao didn't even go to school to fight you? What did you do to him?"

He Yushui asked while drinking porridge with a gossipy look on her face.

"He is not good at studying and keeps making mistakes. He probably won't even graduate. I guess his dad has some news and wants to send him to the factory early so he can have a stable job and a good one."

He Yuzhu guessed that Xu Damao could no longer stay in school, so Xu's father took advantage of the steel mill expansion and used his connections to get Xu Damao to take over his job.

If Xu Damao could graduate normally, he should be able to work in an office and have a chance to develop into a cadre in the future. Now it seems that Xu Damao can no longer survive in school.

On the other side, at Damao's house, Xu's father told Xu Damao earnestly,

"When you were in high school, I did a lot of work to find connections for you. Now that you can't keep up with your studies, take this opportunity to learn how to be a projectionist from me. When you learn, I will find a job as a projectionist somewhere else and try to get another house. Your mom, your sister and I will move out, and this house will be left for you to use when you get married."

"Got it, Dad."

“After eating, He Yuzhu went to the water pipe to wash the dishes, and then prepared to fill the jar with water. He happened to see a young woman coming over with an empty bowl.

"Let's get some water, Zhuzi."

"Sister-in-law is here, washing dishes. You are still doing it even though you are pregnant."

"I'm not that delicate. Your brother Dongxu will be at work soon. It's just a small job, something that's easy to do."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go to work too. Rainwater! It's time to go to school."

"I know, brother."

After He Yuzhu finished his work, he locked the door and walked to the steel mill. Now that his job is stable, he only has more than 100 million yuan left.

He Daqing sends 10 yuan every month. Last year, he spent a lot of money on space seeds, chickens, ducks and geese. Every month, he also spends a lot on food, coal, cloth, clothes, shoes and other miscellaneous things. He saves money to buy a bicycle by the end of the year so that it will be convenient for him to go to work and he can ride it when he goes to junior high school after the rain.

After Master He Yuzhu passed away last year, the original owner and her sister truly experienced the bitterness of life.

He had many skills but couldn't find a job, so he could only work to make ends meet. In addition, the original owner was young and unknown, so he couldn't get any work at weddings or funerals.

When the country was just founded, people were not yet rich. The daily necessities of life were suffocating. In addition, we had no experience and didn’t know what to save, so we took a lot of detours.

In fact, the protagonist didn't have any thoughts about the nickname "Shazhu", nor did he hit anyone to stop him from calling him that.

In this era, including in modern times, some places still say that a cheap name is easier to live with, so it is better to call someone something like Big Dog, Dog Egg, Lai Zha, etc., so that you can see clearly how others treat you.

Generally, people who call you "Shazhu" are those who look down on you, so you are just nodding acquaintances.

Those who call themselves Master He are all co-workers, colleagues, and people who want to work together.

Most of the people who call Zhuzi are neighbors and elders.

As for the guy who has no skills and is called Shazhu, just ignore him. People like that should be dealt with. He can't afford to offend you anyway.

There is a famous saying in later generations: It doesn’t matter if you can’t argue with others, Range Rover will speak for you. The same truth is, if you have your own ability, you don’t have to worry about others looking down on you.

Walking all the way to the back kitchen, everyone had already come to work, changed clothes, and waited for the canteen director to hold a meeting to arrange what to cook today and in what quantity, and then went to the warehouse to pick up the ingredients.

The apprentice washes and peels the vegetables, while the chef needs to cut and cook. Once he takes in an apprentice, he can just cook and let the apprentice practice cutting, and he can become lazy himself.

During this period, most of the leaders had come from a poor era. There were no special kitchens, the standard of hospitality meals was not high, there was no support from Russian experts, and China's industry was not standardized. Except for production enthusiasm, everything else was not high.

Moreover, I had just joined the factory and it was not my turn to prepare the reception dinner, so I had not yet reached the stage at the beginning of the play where I had to sleep until I woke up naturally every day and pack four lunch boxes to take home at night.

The morning passed quickly, and there was no change as usual. He Yuzhu was the cook, so he didn't need to go out to serve food, except when someone took a leave and there was a shortage of staff and he needed to go out to help. He told Yushui yesterday that he didn't need to continue delivering meals at noon. After dinner, he cleaned up with other people in the kitchen.

At this time, the canteen director came over and said, "Zhu Zi, come here!"

"okay!"

"Zhu Zi, the factory expansion is basically complete now. The higher-ups have ordered that we should use the old to guide the new, split up the staff, and make them adapt as quickly as possible to work together. We have also expanded the cafeteria by two. I plan to transfer you to the third cafeteria and assign a few more people to you.

You have done a good job recently and your skills are very good. I hope you can keep up the good work and take charge of the third canteen. Then you will be given the position of canteen monitor. Of course, after that, your salary will be increased to 30 yuan, and you will also be responsible for the banquet when the leaders come to visit. "

"Okay, leader, I'll make sure the task is completed."

"Well, let's go."

"it is good"

At the end of the month, He Yuzhu brought 8 people to the third canteen, including 4 aunts, Master Yang and his two apprentices, and a newly recruited apprentice.

At this point, the expansion of the steel rolling mill was completed, and everyone was thrown into large-scale production. Newcomers were busy learning technology, and old masters received subsidies for teaching apprentices. Looking around, everyone was busy and enthusiastic, and it seemed that a prosperous era had arrived.

When he got off work in the evening and walked to the front door, Yan Bugui stopped him and said, "Shazhu, don't run around after dinner. There will be a meeting soon."
