Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

After dealing with his father's family, He Yuzhu went straight to the Liu family.

Here he met Liu Bin's wife and daughter, who had saved his life during the Korean War.

As soon as he entered the room, He Yuzhu greeted him warmly.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Ai, are you all doing well lately?"

When Liu Zhang heard what He Yuzhu said,

"Brother, thanks to your care, my mother and I have been having a pretty good time recently.

By the way, what is the matter that brought you to us today?"

In response to Liu Zhang's question, He Yuzhu immediately explained his purpose.

"Sister-in-law, this is what happened. Recently, my position has changed and I am going to work in the south. I was wondering if you would like to go with us so that we can take care of you."

Liu Zhang naturally had no objection and nodded immediately.

"Brother, I will listen to you. Just make the arrangements."

He Yuzhu smiled after hearing what Liu Zhang said.

"Okay, sister-in-law, wait for my notification. I'll write to you when I'm stable over there."

Liu Zhang nodded.

"Okay, big brother, I'll wait for good news."

Then He Yuzhu looked at Liu Ai who was standing beside him.

"Xiao Ai, be good. Have you been studying hard recently?"

Liu Ai nodded.

"Godfather, Xiao Ai has been doing very well in school recently, and has received A's every time."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu touched Liu Ai's head with satisfaction.

"Okay, keep it up. Godfather will come to see you next time. I'm leaving now."

Liu Ai heard this and nodded sensibly.

"Okay, godfather, take care."

Before leaving, He Yuzhu stuffed a wooden box into Liu Zhangshi's pocket.

"Sister-in-law, there is some money in here. Please keep it for now. If it is not enough, please contact me later."

Originally, Liu Zhang wanted to decline, but due to He Yuzhu's attitude that could not be refused, she had to accept it.

She looked at He Yuzhu's receding figure, and her eyes became a little moist. She felt that her late husband Liu Bin was lucky to have known He Yuzhu in his life. He was so good to her and her mother, even closer than a relative.

..........................

Afterwards, He Yuzhu, He Daqing, He Yushui and Bai Mudan boarded the train to City 49.

As for why he had to go to 49th City first, it was because this time He Yuzhu had to go to 49th City to report on his work, and then take a train to Handong Province to take up his post.

On the eve of heading to City 49, He Yuzhu had filled his system space in advance with all kinds of supplies, including "large yellow croaker", silver dollars, egret chicken, Sherlock pigs, various guns and ammunition made in various countries, a lot of high-quality animal furs, North Korean ginseng, high-quality rice, high-quality soybean oil, etc. In short, he brought everything he could, and now he had a mobile arsenal and granary.

As for the large-scale pig and chicken breeding he had previously done in Andong County, which became the political achievement of his father-in-law and himself, his father-in-law Hao Jinlong had reported it to the provincial party committee, and he had received commendations and awards from the provincial party committee.

....................

After a long journey of two days and two nights, He Yuzhu and his family of four finally arrived in City 49.

After they got out of the train station, they took the tram with their luggage to Nanluoguxiang in Dongcheng District. They stayed in a nearby hotel because they would be heading south in two days.

The next morning, He Yuzhu went alone to the Huaxia Organization Department in the central area to report...

After dealing with relevant employment matters, He Yuzhu returned to the hotel. At noon, the family of four had a good meal at Hongbinlou.

The shopkeeper of Hongbinlou recognized He Daqing at a glance and immediately took the initiative to greet him.

"Isn't this the Qing Dynasty? Where have you been developing in the past few years?"

In response to Manager Qiu's question, He Daqing immediately explained the reason.

"Boss Qiu, to be honest with you, after I stopped being the chef here, I went to work in the canteen of a state-owned steel mill for a while."

When Qiu Fulin heard what He Daqing said, he immediately showed a look of regret.

"I say, Daqing, isn't it a waste of your talent to work in a small canteen like that? I thought you could get a better job in another restaurant.

It just so happens that the second chef of our Hongbinlou resigned a while ago. If you are interested, why don’t you come back to my place?”

Upon seeing this, He Daqing immediately declined Qiu Fulin's offer.

"Manager Qiu, I appreciate your kindness. I am retired now. I am here with my son and his family to have a meal. I will leave soon."

Hearing this, Qiu Fulin spoke again, "Your son? Could it be He Yuzhu who was an apprentice here for a while?"

He Daqing nodded.

"That's right, but he is now the secretary of a county party committee."

When Qiu Fulin heard what He Daqing said, he showed an expression of disbelief.

He then began to look at He Yuzhu standing beside him. After taking a look, he praised him repeatedly, "He is indeed a promising young man."

Afterwards, Qiu Fulin and He Daqing chatted for a while and then went back to work.

He Daqing and his family sat at the dining table, eating Hongbinlou's signature dishes...

"Zhu Zi, I haven't been here for so many years. This Hongbinlou is really good. The taste hasn't changed at all."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"Dad, it's really good, but it's still a little bit inferior to your craftsmanship."

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu's compliments, he burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha…Zhu Zi, stop flattering me. You don’t want me to continue cooking for you, do you? Your cooking skills are not worse than mine, and you have learned a lot from me.”

He Yuzhu heard this and shook his head.

"Dad, what are you talking about? We cooks are not good at pleasing ourselves."

Then He Yuzhu suddenly thought of something and changed the subject.

"Oh, Dad, there's something I've kept in my heart for a long time, but I never had the chance to ask you. When I first joined the army, you took me to the home of that leader. Who was he? Why did we have to kneel down?"

When He Daqing saw He Yuzhu suddenly asked this, he immediately looked around and lowered his voice.

"That person is quite famous. In fact, our ancestors were a branch of the Hesheli clan, belonging to the Bordered Yellow Banner, one of the upper three banners, but they fell into decline later on. That leader is a descendant of the banner owner."

He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard the news, and asked again: "Dad, do you mean I am a Manchu?"
