A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 32 Return to work
The family went home after leaving Lou's house. It was getting late, and they planned to go to the temple fair overpass tomorrow. As everyone was busy at work or school, there was rarely time for the family to go out together.

This is Yu Shui's paradise, and the remaining three people are just here to feel the atmosphere. Yu Shui is holding a small candy man and a candied haws in his hand. He is really rich and doesn't know how to spend his money. I have a candy man in my left hand and a candied haws in my right hand.

Yu Shui received a lot of New Year's money, more than 30 yuan, which is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary.

He Yushui has a very good relationship with his eldest sister-in-law now, and all the New Year's money is given to his eldest sister-in-law for safekeeping. The two brothers He Yuzhu don't even have time to think about it. Originally, He Yukai wanted to test Yushui's reaction, but she refused with the words that her eldest brother spends too much money.

This morning, when she went out, her sister-in-law took out ten yuan and gave it to Yu Shui, and let her flowers bloom. Yu Shui, feeling very happy, went out with a smile on her face. When she saw people she knew, she showed off that she was going to the overpass and the temple fair to play. She couldn't hide the pride on her face.

Everyone laughed when they saw He Yushui jumping around. It was understandable, because they didn't have time to go out and play during the Chinese New Year in the past. He Daqing was a depressed person, and after He Daqing left, He Yuzhu didn't have any extra money to go out and play. It could be said that this was the first time that Yushui had come to play since he was a child.

Now I am really happy and excited to take him to the overpass to watch circuses and hang out at temple fairs.

The leisure days passed quickly. We will resume work tomorrow and the street office will also start working. There is not as much holiday as seven days at this time. We will go back to work after the third day of the New Year. It is also the only long holiday in a year. Even so, many factories have not taken holidays in order to complete their tasks.

Cai Wenqing took He Yushui to work at the street office. The office there was relatively large. Now Yushui was sticking to Cai Wenqing, so he wanted to follow his sister-in-law to work and was unwilling to go to the factory.

He Yukai and He Yuzhu went to the steel rolling mill. After He Yukai returned to the office, he looked at the duty plan submitted by Su Lei. If he had no objection, he just signed and executed it. In fact, these plans were all the same, but they still had to be signed every Monday.

He Yukai started his lazy life and took out the red book to study.

Last night He Yukai arranged for everyone in the family to start studying the Little Red Book. Each person had a copy and started studying when they had some free time. He Yukai knew that there was a lot of knowledge in it, some of which was beyond their current level of understanding. However, it did not prevent them from remembering some of the quotations in it, which would be of great use in the future.

Although I didn't know the meaning of He Yukai's arrangement, I still agreed. He Yukai seldom said something seriously, but as long as he said it seriously, it meant that the matter was not small and we should take it seriously.

There is not much entertainment during the rest time. Although it is a bit boring, it does not mean that there is nothing to do. Problems are likely to arise if you are idle for too long.

At work, Shazhu sat in his own chair, drank tea and started reading.

The people in the cafeteria looked at it in shock.

I don't know what's wrong with Shazhu anymore. He's watching it very seriously, a bit like Zhang Fei embroidering.

It was a scene in the cafeteria. No one dared to say anything, not even to make a joke. They just laughed in their hearts. No matter how they looked at it, He Yuzhu was not the type to read. In short, he looked awkward.

He Yukai also looked at it seriously. Although he couldn't understand it, he could understand individual words but couldn't understand them together. It was not because of his cultural level, but because of his low level of thinking. He glanced at his colleague's expression and felt very proud. He Yuzhu was also an educated person. He must be dumbfounded, haha.

"Chief, the deaf old lady in your compound went to an abandoned courtyard and left after a while."

When He Yukai was at work, his office door was always open, even in winter. The heating was good so he didn't feel cold. He also asked the security personnel who came to see him not to report in, but to just come in and talk.

"Okay, find someone to take me there."

He Yukai always believed that the deaf old lady had something, so after his last harvest, he asked the security department to send people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the deaf old lady. Now the harvest has come!
The identity of the deaf old lady is too complicated. How could it be possible if she had nothing? Since she is a five-guarantee household, just be your five-guarantee household peacefully. He Yukai doesn't care how the five-guarantee household came about. He doesn't know about those people involved in the past few years, so there is no need to delve into it!
Last time, I harvested 10 large yellow croakers, 40 small yellow croakers and several antiques from the deaf old lady. I asked Cai Quanwu to take a look. He said there was a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain pen holder of the pattern of Guiguzi descending the mountain, and a Ge kiln brush washer.

He Yukai followed the security personnel into the basement and searched around but found nothing. They used space sensing to check and found that there were quite a few things in the basement, including 5 large boxes. He Yukai and the security team members pretended to search around but found nothing and went back.

In fact, all the things have been put into He Yukai's space. The deaf old lady has a lot of wealth. Since she has been rated as a five-guarantee household, she can just enjoy the welfare of the new era. There is no need to guard these things. Just regard it as a contribution to He Yukai's subsequent industry.

The leaders of the steel rolling mill will have a dinner tonight to communicate about the work at the beginning of the new year and to prepare for the upcoming factory-wide meeting.

Heavy factories like steel rolling mills have a lot of work to accomplish in the new year, and the purpose of holding a factory-wide meeting is to review the achievements of previous years and arrange work for the new year.

As a state-owned factory after the public-private partnership, we must unify our thinking and at least not allow the factory's production capacity to decline. Otherwise, how can the superiority of the public-private partnership be reflected?

Now that the workers have become the masters of the factory and are very motivated, the factory leaders are ready to make a big move, taking advantage of this wave of favorable conditions. This will also provide a model for the restructuring of other factories in Beijing and strengthen the determination of their superiors.

He Yukai was eating and drinking in the small private room without expressing any opinions. He Yukai was preparing to give the factory leaders an image of someone who was not concerned with politics and only focused on his own business work. In other words, no matter who was in the position, he would listen to the person sitting in the position. In other words, He Yukai obeyed the position but not the individual.

The advantage of this is that others will not think of you as a threat, but no one will offend you either. You have no political ambitions and are not a threat, but you are very important so no one dares to offend you.

At the same time, they had no way to remove him from his position. After all, the order was issued directly by the military sub-district, and he was under the dual leadership of the factory and the public security department. No leader would want to offend such a person.

This was also requested by Director Yang, who said that it was instructed by a senior leader. He Yukai knew that the senior leader was a subordinate of the old chief, the senior leader who gave He Yuzhu a record player after cooking for him. He Yukai was not clear about the involvement and did not want to find out. He just had to do what he was told. Isn't this situation exactly what he expected!

Others may not know that He Yukai knows it very well. After Li Huaide takes over as deputy factory director, if he does not want to get involved, he can only remain neutral. To be neutral, one must appear neutral. It is taboo to play both ends of the fence.

He Yukai felt it was very funny watching the politicians at the table compromising and discussing the annual plan. The current economic development was still very weak, and there was no worry about selling the things produced. There was no market to speak of. If you want to achieve good results, you must have orders. As long as you get orders, you are not afraid of no results. There are several steel mills in Beijing, and it is not certain who will get the orders. At this time, He Yuzhu's role is reflected.

This is also the reason why Sha Zhu in the TV series can survive in the steel mill despite being so arrogant. You have to entertain people when negotiating orders. If you entertain them outside, it would be considered a waste and you might get punished. There is nothing wrong with having a "working meal" in the factory.

Qualified politicians must learn to compromise, and those who don't know how to compromise are qualified politicians. I have seen this today. I think I can't adapt to it, so I don't plan to participate. As long as no one plays on my base, I don't care about them. No matter how the wind and rain change, I will remain unmoved. At this time, Cai Wenqing was on his way home and remembered that the two brothers in the steel rolling mill had eaten, so he and Yushui also ate outside. He asked Yushui what he wanted to eat. Yushui wanted to eat stewed pork, so Cai Wenqing took Yushui to Xiaochang Chen's place to eat stewed pork.

Luzhu is a famous snack in Beijing. It originated from Zhangdongguan. After being improved and developed into a commoner's food, it was later considered a specialty. It is made of unleavened pancakes, lungs, pork liver, pork belly, large and small intestines, which are basically animal offal. But the taste is really good. It was considered a major meat in that era.

After the dish was served, He Yushui's mouth was full of oil, but Cai Wenqing couldn't eat it at all. He liked it very much, but why did he feel like vomiting when he smelled it? This shouldn't be right. In the end, after Yushui finished eating, Cai Wenqing still couldn't eat it. He was too disgusted to eat it, so he decided to pack it up and take it home!
Frugality is a traditional virtue, so of course we could only pack the goods and wrap them in special kraft paper. There were no plastic bags at that time, so there were no extra resources to waste.

When He Yukai came back in the evening, he heard Yu Shui tell him about this.

Cai Wenqing still likes to eat braised pork and fried liver, but now he feels nauseous and can't eat them. He Yuzhu has no choice but to make porridge for him.

Looking at Cai Wenqing who barely drank a bowl of porridge, He Yukai was still very worried and wanted to go to the hospital.

Cai Wenqing said he would go check it out tomorrow. It was already late today, and it looked like there was nothing wrong. Cai Wenqing didn't look sick, so he heated up the stew that Cai Wenqing brought back and ate it.

"Didn't you eat in the company cafeteria?
Why do you look hungry?"

“Don’t mention it. I was embarrassed to eat alone after hearing what those people said at the table, so I only ate half full and left a lot.

In the end, the food was packed up and taken away by the canteen staff, and Zhuzi also brought back two lunch boxes.

Let’s eat it tomorrow. I haven’t eaten braised pork for a long time. Are you feeling unwell today?
I see you like eating stewed food very much."

"I don't know what's going on, but I feel sick just by smelling that smell."

"Let's go check it out tomorrow." "Okay."

Could she be pregnant?

He Yukai suddenly reacted, but decided not to say it out loud for the time being. Wouldn’t he be very disappointed if it wasn’t true?
The next day after breakfast, He Yukai asked He Yuzhu to ask for leave for him, and he took Cai Wenqing to the Red Star Hospital for a check-up. As a result, he received the unexpected news that Cai Wenqing was pregnant.

This is a normal reaction. He Yukai was very happy. At the same time, his sense of identity with this era was strengthened. His bloodline was extended here.

In the past, He Yukai looked like a hermit, but now that his child is about to be born, he has completely integrated into this era. Children are hope, and you can neither refute nor deny this.

He Yukai still has some experience. After all, he had a son in his previous life. He doesn't know how he is doing now, but maybe he will be fine. His sister will not ignore him, and his family has a pension, so there should be no problem for him to grow up.

I cannot be sad about the passing of time. My past life was quite fulfilling. I did everything I should have done. I have no regrets except that my son did not grow up. I can be considered to have sacrificed my life for my country, which is not a big deal. I was supposed to retire due to my illness, but unfortunately I did not live to see my son grow up. I can only hope for the present. I have to live well and watch the children of this era grow up and live a happy life.

Apart from this, He Yukai doesn't know what else he can do. He has so many relatives in this era. He can't be stuck in an ending that cannot be changed. The most important thing is to live well in the present.

After returning home, He Yukai stayed with Cai Wenqing. They didn't plan to go to work today. Cai Wenqing smiled at the cautious He Yukai. He was really a fool. It was just confirmed. Why was he so cautious?

"You don't have to be so cautious. The doctor said it's only been two months."

"Nonsense, the first three months are the most dangerous. Don't ride a bicycle to work during this month. I'll take you to work first. There are pillars to pick you up when it rains."

"It's not that serious. During the strategic shift, many seniors were left behind. I'm not that squeamish."

"That won't work. The seniors back then didn't have the conditions. How can they compare to now?"

"Silly, you are making a fuss out of nothing. Don't let others laugh at you."

"Just listen to me, follow your own path and let others talk. Even a saint can't satisfy everyone, so why bother with other people?"

At noon, He Yukai brought lunch to He Yushui, which was the dishes and two white flour steamed buns that He Yuzhu brought back from the canteen last night. In the evening, he took Yushui back. In the evening, He Yuzhu and He Yushui both knew the news that Cai Wenqing was pregnant.

He Yuzhu was very happy and full of expectations for his little nephew or niece. He Yushui was also very happy at first, as she was finally not the youngest in the family. But after a while, she became depressed.

"Yushui, are you unhappy that your sister-in-law gave birth to a little nephew for you? Why do you look a little unhappy? You can hang a dung bucket on your pouty little mouth."

"Sister-in-law is happy. You are making fun of me, but I don't agree. Will you still be so nice to me after you give birth to my nephew?"

Cai Wenqing laughed in silence. It seemed that He Daqing's departure had a great impact on He Yushui. He lacked a sense of security.
"Of course, no matter how many children my sister-in-law gives birth to, they will all love rain. Our rain is so cute, how could I not like it?"

He Yushui smiled happily after hearing this!

　The contract has not arrived yet! It has been ten days since the invitation to sign the contract was sent! The speed of a certain rabbit express is amazing, I can't complain!
