The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 24 Chapter 24 - Chapter 25 Resignation and Visiting
When he came to the rolling mill and just entered the factory gate, Deputy Section Chief Yang of the Security Section came out from the guard room to stop He Yuzhu.

"Why did you make things worse, Director Li wants to take you under the knife?"

They took out their cigarettes and lit them. He Yuzhu complained to Section Chief Yang: "What the hell! It's cold and I have to cook a kang at home, so I asked for a few days off. Director Wang blew his beard and stared at me, and slapped me up. Yes, who cares about him."

Section Chief Yang patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and persuaded him: "It's almost half a month before I become a regular, so I can't bear it?"

Looking at Uncle Ma, the guard who was eavesdropping, Section Chief Yang told He Yuzhu that there is no need to go to the cafeteria, and he went directly to the factory. It seems that the leader is very angry, thinking that he is going to leave, I am afraid of you!

Section Chief Yang sent it to the factory building, his face flushed and hesitantly said to He Yuzhu:
"Brother Yang, I'm very sorry here. Director Wang's banquet will not be held. It's Brother Yang who caused you trouble!"

He Yuzhu glanced at him, this dude also employed people facing forward instead of backward, it seemed that he was going to be a chicken to scare the monkeys, he signaled that he didn't mind, and He Yuzhu went up to the second floor.

Only then did Section Chief Yang realize that He Yuzhu's clothes were different from usual, especially when the pair of army hooks rattled as they walked.

Director Li of the factory office.

"Comrade He Yuzhu! Because of your unexcused absenteeism, the factory imposed the following punishment on you, and decided to deduct Comrade He Yuzhu..."

He Yuzhu hurriedly interrupted Director Li's punishment notice to him.

"I said, I'm here to resign today, who are you showing this to?"

Hearing that He Yuzhu came to resign, Director Li was stunned, and never thought about firing him at all. A good cook is not so easy to find, and Director Li understands this better than anyone else.

"He Yuzhu, if you don't agree, can we discuss it! Don't just resign, as leaders we have our difficulties, please understand!"

He Yuzhu admired Director Li's speech level very much. Apart from his bad character, it goes without saying about his ability. Neither you nor Director Yang are good birds.

He Yuzhu looked at Director Li impatiently, and said, "There's so much nonsense, I'm going to resign today, understand? I won't serve you in the future."

Director Li's face was flushed and his temples were throbbing. In this huge rolling mill, except for the director and secretary, no one dared to talk to me like that. Okay, don't you want to resign?I'll give you all you idiot.

Taking a deep breath, he waved to He Yuzhu and said, "I agree, go to the Human Resources Department to complete the formalities!" "

He Yuzhu took the resignation certificate and came to the back kitchen of the cafeteria.

"Stupid column is here."

"Master He finished his work at home?"

"Silly Zhu, I heard that the factory will punish you." Liu Lan told He Yuzhu worriedly.

"It's okay, Sister Liu, I've already resigned!"

Everyone persuaded him in surprise.

"Silly Zhu listened to the elder sister's persuasion, what will you and your sister do if you lose your job? Go and be soft, and you won't be afraid of them when you become a regular."

Looking at the crowd with different expressions, He Yuzhu smiled at Liu Lan.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'll be a soldier in the next year. Don't worry."

When Liu Lan heard that he was going to leave, her heart suddenly became empty, and she hadn't had time to tell him about her little thoughts!

He Yuzhu looked at the two headlights and stretched his fingers, feeling very sorry.

Everyone watched the handsome He Yuzhu leave, and looked at Liu Lan regretfully, and felt that the two were a good match.

As soon as I left the cafeteria gate, I ran into Director Wang.

"Hey! Silly Zhu! Haha, punish you! Let you fight against me."

Look at the complacent look on this guy's face, and Yang Yang's resignation certificate with malicious intentions.

"I...resigned!"

The bewildered Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "You resigned?"

Before he could react, He Yuzhu left on his bicycle.

"This, this, why did He Yuzhu resign?"

Director Wang is at a loss. Without He Yuzhu, there will be no kitchenette, no hospitality, and no extra money for himself.

The leaders of the factory don't know how hard it is to find a good cook, don't they know it? Thinking about the factory manager's anger and utter despair at him, he didn't think about what to do to Sha Zhu!

The head shape of a prisoner with a shoehorn face, a dark yellow corduroy jacket with a small lapel, fitted black trousers, a shiny army hook, and a rusty red classic car.

I, He Yuzhu, officially entered the world of rags.

~ Pick up money!
Taking advantage of the rain and the winter vacation for more than a month, He Yuzhu decided to go to all the waste collection stations in the capital, and if he found the treasure, he would take it to a trust store for appraisal, keep the ones above [-] for himself, and exchange the rest for money.

"Master, I'll buy something that can be used at home."

The doorman took a sip of He Yuzhu's filial piety to the front door, and told He Yuzhu to go in and look for it by himself.

A bundle of picture scrolls that I thought were ancient paintings, a stack of porcelain plates and dishes, and the big fat girls in the space were also taken out, and they were loaded down the Xinjiekou Trust Store together.

Seeing him coming in, Uncle Chen stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Boy, have you brought the painting?"

He Yuzhu deliberately ignored him and wandered around, making the old man jump in anxiety.

"You bastard, are you making fun of me!"

Seeing that it was almost the end, I couldn't be angry anymore, for fear that the old man would be really angry.

"I brought some of the things at home today, and I also brought the painting. It's all outside. Please show me."

"Then what are you waiting for! Hurry up!"

The old man helped He Yuzhu move things in, and said distressedly: "Your things in your house are all junk! Look at this big gray thing."

The old man picked up a towel to wipe off the dust, and the cleanest scroll of pictures of ladies was slowly unfolded by the old man.

He Yuzhu was really upset by waiting, and kept urging him.

"Is it true, sir? You can't stop looking at the broken picture! Are you okay, sir?"

The old man was angrily thrown down the magnifying glass, and he came over and raised his palm to slap him.

"I'll beat you to death!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly dodged, and asked anxiously: "Master, calm down, is it true after all! Give me a quick word."

The sales guy actually took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and watched the excitement with a few other people. This small theater is not bad, and the program is wonderful. It is much better than serving those aunts. It’s up to those aunts to buy or not, first give the things to them. If you search over and over again, you still can't say that once you quarrel...you are not an opponent yet.

The uncle shunned his chest, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "The portrait of a lady is an authentic work, and it is very well preserved. How about it? Will you sell it?"

Although He Yuzhu doesn't understand, he is not stupid. This thing will be kept for at least tens of millions in the future, and it would be really stupid to sell it for a few hundred yuan now.

"This one is not for sale, why don't you tell me to take a look at it? So I will show it to you."

What He Yuzhu said was justified.

The old man pretended to be angry and pointed at him and said: "I can see that, you kid just use me as a free appraisal."

"Don't worry, sir, we will never let you be busy. I will definitely sell the ones that are suitable. As long as you appreciate the heirlooms, don't you, sir? You appreciate the treasures, and I get the appraisal. Isn't this the best of both worlds!"

He Yuzhu put out the facts and persuaded the uncle with a reasonable face.

The old man was amused by his shamelessness.

"I didn't expect to be pecked by a little house sparrow when I was old after playing eagle all my life. Let me ask you, kid, who did you learn this theory from?"

He Yuzhu clasped his fists and saluted the uncle.

"Concession, concession, this theory is created by the kid himself, and the name of the theory is ~ Shameless!"

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

The salesman sprayed it straight away, lying on the counter and laughing like a pig, and several of the same salesmen also covered their mouths and laughed.

He Yuzhu looked at the salesman, and said to him with a serious face: "You are laughing like this, so you have to be more careful. It's the end of the year, and pigs are always worried at this time."

The elder sisters also laughed outright, and it became a small theater, with laughter flying, and people passing by the door looked into the store curiously.

The old man looked at him amusedly and said: "Your boy is also unscrupulous, you look like a dog, and you have a bad stomach."

He Yuzhu directly took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from his black bag and stuffed it to the old man, and said with a playful smile:
"Master, please take a look. I really don't understand. Some are bought by myself, and some are passed down from ancestors. If they are passed down, they must not be sold."

The old man looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, this kid is not simple!Ancient paintings handed down from family, and Zhonghua cigarettes, not to mention those who don’t have money, cigarette tickets are not easy to find, it seems that I must help with this favor today.

"You brat, you don't have any good ones, and you are proficient in all the bad ones. Today, the uncle will show kindness and show you!"

As time passed, each picture scroll and each piece of porcelain was appraised by the old man and divided into two parts. He Yuzhu saw that the old man was a little tired, so he quickly poured water and moved the seat.

"Master, take a break! I'm really sorry, I'll treat you to a restaurant after get off work."

He Yuzhu handed over the cigarette, but the old man waved his hand and refused. After drinking tea slowly, he pointed to the two pieces of picture scroll porcelain and said:
"Men, I am worthy of your Chinese cigarettes. Keep the ones on the left as family heirlooms! After a while, I will make a list for you and write the details for you, so as to save you from wasting your stick. As for the ones on the right, they are worth more. It’s not big, you can keep it for playing, or sell it, it’s up to you.”

He Yuzhu thanked the uncle, patted his chest and said arrogantly: "Master, let's eat roast duck tonight, I invite you!"

When a group of salesmen heard that roast duck was invited to dinner, they were envious immediately. Those who can go to Quanjude and Bianyifang to eat roast duck these days are all big shots, and definitely not something ordinary people can enjoy.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, the old man's heart moved. After thinking for a while, he said to him expectantly:

"There is no need for the roast duck. If you are sincere, I have something to ask you."

He Yuzhu looked at the old man with anticipation on his face.

"Sir, tell me, I can do it, and I will never stop!"

"Can you get milk powder? Milk powder tickets are also fine! I'm not afraid of your jokes, the grandson at home doesn't have enough milk, and I feel distressed when I look at it."

He Yuzhu finally let go of his heart, he was afraid that the old man would make some excessive demands, and he would not be able to handle them at that time, which would make the two of them awkward, and it would be troublesome to ask the uncle for an appraisal in the future.

"Small things, I thought it was a big deal? I have two catties of milk powder in an iron bucket at home, and I'll go back and get it for you."

Holding the detailed list written by the old man, He Yuzhu left with his things on his back, put away the treasures that could be passed down to the family, and sent the rest of the picture scroll porcelain back to the compound.

The old man waited anxiously, and several salesmen gathered together and whispered.

Even an elder sister advised the old man that he was cheated.

Until it was almost time to get off work, the old man gave up completely, thinking that He Yuzhu would not come again, after all, milk powder was too expensive, and ordinary people couldn't buy it even if they had money.

When everyone was about to close the door and prepare to leave work, He Yuzhu rode a bicycle and brought his younger sister to kill him.

The old man excitedly stepped forward to hold the handlebar and said, "Stinky boy, I thought you would never come again."

He Yuzhu supported the car with one leg, watched his sister jump down, and took out two buckets of milk powder from the big black bag.

"Are we like that? My sister is about to leave school, so I'll wait at home for a while. No, I'll come right away."

Looking at the milk powder in He Yuzhu's hand, he slapped his thigh happily, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with excitement.

"I really want to thank you very much! Come on, come home with me, and we will get to know each other formally."

"That's good. I'm worried about how to find you in private. I have something good to tell you. I'll tell you when you get home."

He Yuzhu was also extremely happy to be able to visit the uncle's house.

The old man watched everyone close the shop door, and led He Yuzhu as he walked, saying: "Okay, let's not be grandpa, man, my name is Chen Fugui, you call me Uncle Chen, my house is not far from here. step way."

"Uncle Chen, my name is He Yuzhu. You can call me Zhuzi from now on. This is my younger sister, named Yushui. I am a cook and my home is in the No. [-] courtyard of Nanluoguxiang."

He Yuzhu also hurriedly introduced himself and his sister, Yushui looked at the old man curiously ~ my brother has met a lot of people these two days, but I am a little hungry!
The old man's house is at the end of Xinjiekou, a privately built messy yard with no order. He Yuzhu and his sister followed the old man, wandering around for a long time before arriving at the old man's house.

"My wife, there are guests at home."

The old man started shouting before entering the room. The door opened, and the aunt in her 50s came out. She wore a light blue slanted jacket and gray hair.

"Come here, I'm cooking. I haven't had any guests at home for a long time."

The aunt was very enthusiastic to pour water for the brothers and sisters. The room was large and slightly dark, and the furniture was very old.

He Yuzhu looked at the furniture and asked, "Uncle Chen, are these all antique furniture?"

Uncle Chen looked at these old furniture with eyes of recalling the past, and said with emotion:
"At the beginning, the owner of this compound was the big owner of "Wenhuazhai", and I was his shopkeeper. When the New Kingdom was established, everyone divided this courtyard, and the furniture fell into my hands. They are all Huanghuali. , I don’t pay attention to this now, so it’s not worth a lot of money. "

"I also have some at home. Come and have a look at me when you have time."

He Yuzhu took out the milk powder can from the big black bag and put it on the table, then took out ten bills and said to Uncle Chen:
"I still have some milk powder tickets in my hand. I'll give you all of them. I don't need them either."

Before He Yuzhu put down the ticket in his hand, Chen Bo's wife hurriedly got up to stop him and said eagerly:
"No, no, you brought two cans of milk powder, which have already helped a lot, we can't take this ticket."

"Aunt Chen, you are treating me as an outsider. There is no shortage of these things in the family. Besides, I will often trouble Uncle Chen in the future. You! Just accept it with confidence!"

Speaking of which, He Yuzhu put the ticket in Aunt Chen's hand and looked at the milk powder ticket in her hand. Aunt Chen looked at her wife excitedly.

He Yuzhu learned that the old man's children did not live here. The eldest son worked in the Materials Bureau, the youngest daughter worked in the No. [-] Linen Mill, and the family had two grandchildren, a grandson and a granddaughter.

Pulling and dragging, the old couple was invited to Quanjude, a roast duck and three meals, a few side dishes, and the two exchanged cups.

This is the first time for Yushui to eat roast duck. The crispy duck skin is dipped in white sugar, and the mouth is full of sweetness. Chewing small mouth and bulging cheeks, isn't this just a hamster!

Seeing the rainwater entering the bed, He Yuzhu went back to the house and closed the door, took out the best harvest of the day, and compared it with the detailed list given by the old man.

Wu Daozi—the picture of Zhong Kui with ten fingers, He Yuzhu opened it and saw it, no wonder it went to the scrap yard. This painting is a representative of feudal superstition in this era. ~Put it away.

Look at the schedule:
Bada Shanren - "Lonely Goose", "Bamboo Stone Mandarin Duck" and "Pine Deer Picture".

Uncle Chen also wrote down the characteristics ~ rolled his eyes.

He Yuzhu looked at the schedule in his hand and smacked his lips. This old man really used himself as a mallet. I have to compete with him. There is nothing I can't appreciate.

he~tui
On such a large piece of paper, a wild goose is drawn alone, it is not flying, and it rolls its eyes, who are you rolling your eyes at?

Opening the remaining two pictures, I finally understand what is characteristic and roll my eyes.

He Yuzhu looked at the painting in his hand, can this crap be passed down to the family?I really can't appreciate it, and He Yuzhu has completely failed at his own appreciation level.

Come on, don’t appreciate them one by one, you don’t have that ability, so let’s look at the watch carefully.

This warm quilt is really comfortable, He Yuzhu lamented the superiority of the kang.

I feel that I can start pretending to act tomorrow. Those worthless ones are sold in trust stores or scrap yards. When I come back, I can say that I have sold them for a high price. The money in my pocket is clear, and I don’t have to spend money on others in the future.

Waking up in the middle of the night suffocated by urine, I opened the door tremblingly to go to the toilet.

"Oh! It's cold!"

Shaking the wilting cucumber, just as He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard, a black shadow flashed past, scaring He Yuzhu's heart to pound and scalp numb.

"Who!"

The door of Jia's house was closed softly, and He Yuzhu's mental power rushed to Jia's house.

Jia Haoyun asked in a daze, but Jia Zhang didn't speak, and secretly took out two pieces of briquettes from a small sack and put them next to the stove in the kitchen.

Rinse your hands in the basin, quietly go back to the house, take off your clothes and go to bed.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and all the people in the courtyard bought honeycomb briquettes, which were obviously stolen from him.

Thinking of the cellar, he hurriedly used telepathy, okay!The cabbage, potatoes, and radishes in the cellar were all missing, and there were not many of them thrown away, but they added up to a lot. This Jiazhang clearly took revenge on himself.

He Yuzhu was furious to death, but you really can't do anything about her, it's not worth waking everyone up in the middle of the night for such a little thing you lost.

He Yuzhu didn't think of any good way to solve this matter, so he could only brazenly find the old man in charge tomorrow. The old man is dying, and the relationship is deadlocked!The second uncle didn't want to talk to that pretender, so he could only find the third uncle, and told him about the rain by the way, he was probably going to be disappointed.

Go back to the house and look at the hearth, fill some briquettes in it, press it with tidal coal, go to the rainwater house to fill some coal, and then go back to the house to lie down.
