I am He Yuzhu in Siheyuan

"Zhu Zi, are you cooking? I heard on the radio yesterday that you've become the canteen director? So I came over to take a look."

"What are you talking about, uncle? He is just a canteen director. How can he compare to you, a level 8 fitter? Who in the entire steel mill dares not to give you face?" He Yuzhu replied politely.

"Hey, that's not what I meant. I came here today mainly to ask you if you can get some food coupons after becoming the canteen director?"

"What's wrong, uncle? You and auntie have rations. You earn so much, how can you not have enough to eat?"

"Hey, isn't there an old lady here? The money your aunt and the old lady use to deliver food is saved by the two of us. Now the Jia family doesn't have enough for a month. I see that you are the canteen director, so I came here to ask."

"As far as I know, Jia's Qin Huairu and Bang Geng all have quotas, so why is it still not enough?"

"Your Aunt Jia doesn't have a ration, and the stalks are just at their best. As the old saying goes, a young boy will eat his father out of money, so see if you can help me."

"Uncle, I am also powerless. These days, everyone has to tighten their belts to make ends meet. I also have to support Yu Shui, my wife and son."

"Zhu Zi, you can't just think about yourself. You have to help others when you are able. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you help the Jia family now, they will help you in the future."

"Uncle, I understand the reason, but my wife and son don't have a ration either, and my family has just enough food to eat, and sometimes we have to spend money to buy expensive food."

"Then don't you have leftovers in your cafeteria at night? The Jia family doesn't mind it. Do you still have a lunch box when you go out to cook?"

God damn, you don’t despise me. He Yuzhu was almost laughing out of anger. I don’t want to be the cause of any trouble, do I?

"Uncle No. 1, I really don't have any housework to do. I need to cook. If you can't help me, go ask Uncle No. 2 or Xu Damao."

"Zhu Zi, look at you. You have become like this now. How can I say hello to you?"

Yi Zhonghai was still chattering, but He Yuzhu ignored him and got busy.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Yi Zhonghai left angrily.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he saw that his wife had already prepared dinner, so he sat down and sighed.

"What's wrong, Lao Yi? Why are you sighing so early in the morning?" asked an old lady.

"Alas! It's Zhuzi. He's the canteen director now. I went over to ask him to help the Jia family since he's rich, but I couldn't persuade him."

"He has a big family to support. And he will give the old lady something delicious. His wife doesn't have a fixed amount of food, she eats everything. Why do you care so much? It's annoying."

"I think he is filial to the old lady, and he is the only one in the compound who eats meat and thinks about the old lady. He has leftovers in the canteen every night, but he still goes out to cook for others. Dongxu is gone, and we are old. He is the only one in the compound who is capable of taking care of us. There is also Huairu, but Huairu still needs our help, so I thought about whether he can help her. If he is willing, we can ask him to help us when we are old."

The old lady stopped talking, sat down silently, and became sentimental.

There were several other times when Yi Zhonghai went to see He Yuzhu, and his endless nagging and moral blackmailing made He Yuzhu extremely annoyed and his good mood was gone. The kindness of an old lady was completely exhausted by Yi Zhonghai.

"Old wall lamp, if I wasn't afraid of the next few years, I would let you know why the flowers are so red." He Yuzhu thought hatefully.

Now he has warned Xingzhi and Yushui to stay away from the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, to keep an eye on the bricks, and to stay away from the children of the Jia family. I can't afford to offend you orphans and widows and the Lord of Morality, but I can afford to hide.

Yi Zhonghai is not the only one who is not very sensible. Our country has another neighbor who is even more unsensible.

In the past few years, with the intrusion of the Russian bear and the American hawk, our neighbor's white elephant has been shouting that it is the third largest in the world and has been harassing our border for no reason.

In the past few years, there were natural disasters in the country and we had no time to deal with him. This year, we really couldn't tolerate it anymore, so we took action.

As early as the period of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the White Elephants occupied my country's Tawang area and have been creating friction and chaos. my country sent people to negotiate last year, but they ignored us, relying on the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, and even threatened to eliminate us.

This year, they built more than 100 strongholds on our territory and showed signs of invading us. Our country finally lost its patience and launched a counterattack in self-defense.

We can only say that we overestimated India's strength and India underestimated our level.

On October 10, the self-defense counterattack began. It was beyond our expectations, and of course it was unexpectedly smooth.

The originally scheduled three-day assault mission was completed in just one day. In just three days, half of the strongholds were captured.

On the 24th, our country called out to the White Elephant, hoping to resolve the issue peacefully through negotiations, but the White Elephant was unwilling to do so. The White Elephant believed that it had the support of the United States and the Soviet Union and that it was the third largest economy in the world, so it clamored to attack us.

Then the two sides started fighting again. How can I put it? Even the anti-Japanese dramas dared not film such a plot. It took my country only 32 days to reach the vicinity of the Indian capital, only more than 100 kilometers away from the capital. The White Elephant turned the invasion into a battle to defend the capital, which completely confirmed the legend of my country's strongest infantry on the surface of the earth.

What’s even more interesting is that our PLA soldiers Pang Guoxing and three others first destroyed an enemy artillery regiment, then pursued an enemy artillery regiment all night, and even shouted the slogan “The enemy not only refused to surrender, but also dared to shoot at us.”

Even novels don’t dare to write this. It’s a pity that our country is not strong enough. If it were next year, the results would be even greater.

When the news reached China, the whole country was in an uproar. The propaganda department of the steel mill, the street office, and everyone were all promoting the idea that although we are still very poor now, our country will eventually rise again and stand at the top of the world.

He Yuzhu is even busier now. When the news of victory came, the factory had to celebrate. There were meetings and dinners in the factory. The workers were working hard to produce. We were partly responsible for the weapons that were used to attack the enemy.

Fortunately to come to this era and be able to contribute to the country together with his ancestors, He Yuzhu also ignited the passion in his heart. What Yi Zhonghai, what Qin Guafu, all of them, can go to hell.

This time the dinner was not stewed food, but braised pork. Since supplies were scarce, the steel mill could still afford to eat some meat. Everyone happily took the braised pork home. Although the ration was restored, there were only a few meat tickets a month. This time, I could finally have a good meal of meat with my family.

He Yuzhu returned home happily with two lunch boxes of braised pork. Even though he had space, he improved his life once a week in this era, except when he had a treat. Yushui and Xingzhi each got a box, and the brick was given to the old lady. After returning home to put down his things, He Yuzhu went to the old lady's house in the backyard.

On the way back home with the old lady on his back, Yi Zhonghai showed up again, still in his old way, wanting to celebrate with He Yuzhu and the Jia family. Faced with the old lady's deaf and dumb performance and He Yuzhu's neglect, he left in embarrassment, and had to find something for the old lady to do.

The next morning, when He Yuzhu went to the cellar to get some cabbage, he howled.

"Which bastard stole my cabbage core!"

He Yuzhu almost forgot that whether the Siheyuan was in chaos or not was decided by Shazhu. There was no event in the Siheyuan that did not involve Shazhu. He should not be afraid of others, but others should be afraid of him.

Neighbors came over to see what was happening.

Seeing that everyone was coming, He Yuzhu began to complain.

"I stored more than a dozen cabbages in the cellar a few days ago. When I took them out this morning, I saw that they were all without cores. The cabbages that used to be able to be stored for a long time, now I estimate they will not last for two days."

"I thought it was nothing, it's just a few cabbages, no big deal, Zhuzi, you are the canteen director now, don't be so petty." You can tell Yi Zhonghai said this without even looking.

"What the uncle said is true. I can afford to lose this little bit of stuff, but don't forget that although this cellar is mine, I donated it in the first place and everyone can use it. It doesn't matter if mine is lost, but what about other people's? Besides, these cabbages have no cores and can't be stored. It would be a pity if they go bad. It would be a waste of food."

Yan Bugui hurried downstairs after hearing this. Several other people also went downstairs. Soon, Yan Bugui's howling was heard.

"Who the hell stole my cabbage core?"
