I am He Yuzhu in Siheyuan

Han Chunming returned home, then quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

He had a hard life when he was a child and is quite frugal now. He only has a motorcycle and doesn't usually dress up.

He and Su Meng haven't spoken to each other for nearly two years since they had a fight the year before last.

In this life, he came to the steel rolling mill and became He Yuzhu's disciple. He didn't know Taozi or other people or things. He was a capable person and was usually very motivated.

(The timeline in the play is very confusing, it’s a re-creation)

Han Chunming rode his motorcycle to the Education Bureau to wait for Su Meng to get off work.

After waiting for a long time, he finally came forward with the same playful smile as before.

Maybe it's because both of them have a place in their hearts for each other, even though they haven't spoken for a long time, there is still no gap between them.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Han Chunming said with a smile.

"Since you are so sincere, I will mercifully agree to it."

"Well, get in the car!"

The two of them stopped by a restaurant and ordered some food.

"Han Chunming, why did you suddenly think of looking for me today? Aren't you awesome? Aren't you tough?"

Su Meng asked with a proud smile.

"Eat first, then I'll tell you something!"

"what's up?"

"Let's talk after eating!"

"Row!"

The two chatted, ate, talked and laughed just like they used to.

"Su Meng, you know I like you, I've always liked you, and I want to marry you!"

"Han Chunming, you can't talk about this. I'm not ready yet, and I haven't agreed yet."

"So I came to ask you today. You have been working for more than two years. I am not young anymore. I am serious!"

Han Chunming spoke seriously.

"That won't work. You haven't passed my test yet. Besides, I have a regular job in the Education Bureau and I graduated from college. Look at you, you're still a cook. My dad won't agree to that."

"okay!"

Han Chunming smiled bitterly and then returned to his playful smile.

Su Meng and Han Chunming chatted for a long time. Just like before, Han Chunming still doted on her.

The two walked together for a long time.

Han Chunming sent Su Meng to the door of her home. Looking at her back, a hint of bitterness appeared on Han Chunming's lips.

"Master, what he said makes sense!"

Han Chunming returned home and said to his mother.

"Mom, I plan to follow Master to Shenzhen City for development. I will inform my brothers and sisters tomorrow, and we will have a family gathering in the evening!"

"Xiao Wu! Haven't you mastered your craft? Why do you suddenly want to go to the South?"

"Mom, your son's cooking skills are indeed good, but I can't compete with my master's restaurant model, and my fellow apprentices are not much worse than me, so I want to take this opportunity to see the world!"

"Well! Good! My little five has grown up! He wants to fly by himself, okay! Mom won't stop you, but you must be careful outside!"

"Yes! I'm going with Master, don't worry!"

Early the next morning, Han Chunming went to his brother and sister's house to inform them and come back for dinner in the evening.

Then he went to the vegetable market and started buying vegetables.

Han Chunming is very talented. He plans to use the Tan family's cooking method for tonight's dinner.

Han Chunming was busy all day. The soup was ready, the dishes were prepared, and everything that could be done in advance was done.

In the evening, the whole family sat neatly around the big table, waiting to taste Xiaowu's cooking.

Han Chunming's cooking skills did not disappoint them, and they almost finished all 16 dishes.

Although people are richer this era than before, they still love to eat.

Han Chunming did not tell them that he was going to the south to start a business, so everyone just had to eat and drink well.

The next day, Han Chunming came to Master Guan and cooked some delicious dishes, and the two of them started drinking.

After eating and drinking, I said goodbye to the master.

Master Guan said that a real man has great ambitions and does not need to act like this.

Han Chunming came to He Yuzhu's house and asked about the departure time, and then prepared to say goodbye to his fellow apprentices one by one.

He Yuzhu handed over the factory in Beijing to Yushui, and then took Xingzhi and Chunming on the plane.

This is Chunming and Xingzhi’s first time on a plane, and they are both looking forward to seeing Shenzhen.

After getting off the plane and arriving at the lobby, I found someone holding a sign with He Yuzhu's name on it.

It was Damao who arranged for them to establish comrades-in-arms, so He Yuzhu and the other two followed him into a Santana.

All the way to the factory.

Along the way, the three of them opened the windows to look at the prosperity here, which made Han Chunming and Xingzhi sigh that it was an eye-opener.

The south is not as warm as the north, and they marvel at how bold, avant-garde and trendy the people here are.

When they arrived at the factory, the three of them changed their clothes first, put on short-sleeved shirts, and then went downstairs together.

"Chunming, Damao will host a welcoming party for us soon, so it's a good opportunity for you to see the restaurant here. You can inspect it first during this period of time. If you find it suitable, you can call your apprentice over and I will invest money for you."

"Okay, thank you Master!"

The group went to the reception room to drink tea and wait for Damao to arrive. Damao went to discuss business.

Two hours later, Damao came over, and then the four of them went to eat.

Guangdong local dishes are low in salt. Even if northerners can’t get used to them after a long time, they may feel good if you eat them occasionally.

This place is along the coast, so there is no shortage of seafood, and there is no shortage of people from the north going to the sea.

Xu Damao warned Han Chunming that the security environment here is not very good. Some factories do not require ID cards when recruiting people, and some people's ID cards are fake. Don't trust anyone here.

Han Chunming was delighted when he arrived at the dormitory room. He had never been a very contented person since he was a child, and he also wanted to build his own kingdom in this era.

The next day, he drove Xu Damao's old car out to inspect it. He couldn't wait.

He Yuzhu and his wife and Damao came to the reception room and made tea.

"Da Mao, how is the market now?"

"Don't worry, Shazhu, our products are still the best!"

"Well, remember, although expanding our territory is important, China is our base camp. In the next few years, Japanese brands will impact our market, so we must protect it well!"

"Little devils? They want to challenge us?"

"Our country is changing with each passing day, and our people are getting richer and richer. They will definitely come, but don't worry, I will innovate the taste by then and try to defeat them in one fell swoop."

"it is good!"

"I came here to show Xingzhi the world and to prepare a spicy turkey noodle. Go and open up the Goryeo market. The chaebols have the final say there, so it's easy to open up the market."

"Well, leave it to me!"

"The most important thing is that we have money. Let's buy some real estate and shops first and leave them to our descendants in the future!"

"okay, I get it."

He Yuzhu asked Xu Damao to call all the people above the level of workshop group leader to come out for the meeting, while he changed into work clothes and went to the workshop.

He Yuzhu and Xingzhi went to the workshop to inspect whether there was any unfairness or anyone oppressing employees for the sake of production capacity.

As we walked along, the workshop was very lively. Although it was not as lively as a vegetable market, there were a lot of people chatting in dialect on the assembly line, and everyone was gossiping about something.

Most of them are from Henan, and there are also people from Sichuan and other cities.

Xingzhi went to the Sichuan production line to get started, while He Yuzhu came to the busiest production line in Henan.

"Fellow villager? How is it working in this factory? Is it tiring? Is the salary high?"

"Hey! Fellow villager, let me tell you, this factory is really good, not tiring, and the management is not strict. It's all our fellow villagers, and no one dares to bully us. We have steamed buns and rice to eat, and our wages are paid on time every month. We are also allowed to take leave every time we harvest wheat and break corn. We also get two boxes of instant noodles every month, two boxes of ham sausage every six months, and we get them when we go home for the New Year. It's great!"

"That's right. When I first arrived, I was afraid that I had entered a black factory. As soon as I heard what my fellow villagers said, I knew I had come to the right place."

"Don't worry, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. We are all from Henan. If someone bullies you, just speak up and we will all come to help you!"

"Okay! Thank you, fellow villager. I still have to wait for my assignment. Let's sit together when we have time."

"Okay! You start working first, and I'll grow up later!"

He Yuzhu visited several workshops and assembly lines and was very satisfied.

People at this time like to stick together and are very loyal, but they also follow the rules when doing their work. If anyone violates the rules, the line leaders will be ruthless and scold them like a grandson, but they will not use violence, and the workers will not make things difficult for each other.

He Yuzhu's wages were based on Shenzhen's standard, 5-day 8-hour workday, with shift meals, and overtime for any time beyond that. There were no night shifts unless there was a rush to deliver goods.

People of this era still like to work overtime. He Yuzhu is very generous and offers 1 times the overtime pay and double the pay on Sundays. What they most hope to do is work until 5 o'clock every night so that they can give their families better living conditions.

After working for a whole morning, He Yuzhu came to the production line and took away Xingzhi who was chatting enthusiastically. When leaving, Xingzhi was reluctant to leave the group of fellow villagers and agreed to get off the car and come over to chat again.

"I'll take you around here in a few days. If you like, just come here and continue chatting with people. We're going to stay here for a while this time."
