A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 35 Asking Sha Zhu to Cook (Part )
Liu Guangqi took the money and walked out of the house. The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Liu Qianshi also felt that her family was being controlled by Sha Zhu, that unscrupulous guy.

Unfortunately, many of us don't understand one thing.

Liu Haizhong pulled out his belt and started beating the baby. Second Aunt did not try to dissuade him. Liu Guangqi heard the screams at home and shook his head. He couldn't do anything about it. He had already made up his mind to leave after getting married, so he decided to settle his own affairs first.

When Liu Guangqi arrived at the He family, he was very humble and seemed to be begging for help. He Yuzhu soon agreed. How could he not agree to such a good thing?

He had the money to marry a wife, and Yi Zhonghai had exposed his true colors, so the other party had to have him, so He Yuzhu was very sure that he would earn the money.

My eldest brother is really awesome. If you follow him, you don’t even need to pay for your own marriage because others will give you the money.

Now it seems that the decoration of the house and the furniture at home are still in place. My eldest brother's wedding cost almost nothing, and the money for my own wedding is also settled. After this matter is over, I will continue to practice and settle the money for my younger uncle's wedding first. Haha, it's very beautiful.

"Second brother, you and eldest brother have learned bad things. You were supposed to go on a date on Sunday, but now you're planning to have a banquet. You've even cheated the second uncle's family out of their money. Sigh, how could I have met two brothers like this? I mourn for everyone in the hospital. After eldest brother came back, he also led the honest second brother astray."

"Yushui, it seems that you have become arrogant because I haven't taught you a lesson during this period of time. Now you even dare to tease your two brothers. I'm sad. I will never buy you delicious food again. Now even your eldest brother has started to tease you. You are no longer the chubby Yushui."

"Haha, brother, if you don't buy it for me, my sister-in-law will buy it for me."

"Ask your sister-in-law if she would dare to do that without my permission."

"You know I dare to do it without asking. Haha, the person with the highest status in the family is no longer you, the eldest brother, but my sister-in-law. Besides, it was bought for me, not for the unborn baby. I just tasted it in advance to determine which candy is better for my nephew to eat in the future. I can also give him some advice. What a good thing."

He Yushui is eight years old and already knows a lot of things. She knows that her elder brother is teasing her, and she is not afraid at all now. Her elder brother is afraid of her elder sister-in-law. As long as her elder sister-in-law stands on her side, she will always be the little princess of the family. Yushui's words made everyone laugh.

"Haha, Yu Shui is right, we don't have to be afraid. Zhu Zi is now able to stand on his own, and we are very relieved.

Remember, we don't bully others. If others dare to bully us, we will fight back fiercely. Of course, this approach depends on the person.

You can cheat the three uncles in this yard, the deaf old lady, and the Jia family as you like, but if I find out that you cheat others, I will have someone notify you to go to the street office for study every day. Did you hear that, Zhuzi? You know I have the ability to do this."

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I know the limits."

He Yuzhu quickly agreed. His sister-in-law was usually gentle and kind, but if you think that's all, you're wrong. He heard from his elder brother that his sister-in-law killed as many enemies on the battlefield as his elder brother.

There are many ways to deal with such people. It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. The eldest sister-in-law considers all aspects of herself very carefully. He Yuzhu also respects Cai Wenqing very much. Of course, this is also accumulated slowly. The identity of the eldest sister-in-law is not enough.

The next day everyone went to work, and Yu Shui followed Cai Wenqing to the street office. School had not started yet, so after they got there, He Yu Shui did his winter vacation homework while Cai Wenqing looked at materials, thanking him for the leisurely work.

After Director Wang knew that Cai Wenqing was pregnant, he organized another meeting to divide the work. Fang Dete's work was handed over to another person, and Cai Wenqing was in charge of the household registration that had already been completed. She is now very free.

In fact, what He Yukai meant was to just take a long vacation and give birth to the child before saying that he was rejected by Cai Wenqing. How could that be possible? He could just take a leave after the due date.

You can take two more months' leave when the time comes. What will people think if you ask for leave now? Besides, we are all revolutionary comrades and you are the only one being pretentious.

He Yuzhu has not accepted any apprentices yet. Ma Hua is estimated to be only about thirteen years old. The current canteen director is Ma Hua's uncle. It will be several years before Ma Hua turns seventeen and enters the canteen as an apprentice. Liu Lan has not entered the factory either. Liu Lan replaced her father-in-law and went to the steel rolling mill.

So He Yuzhu made all the side dishes in the small kitchen by himself. It was not that He Yuzhu did not want to take in an apprentice. In fact, he had long wanted to be a master to satisfy his desire. It was just that He Yukai had a requirement that the apprentice must have a good character and must be investigated by He Yukai. He Yukai did not stop He Yuzhu from taking in an apprentice. The key point was that the apprentice would occupy a very important position in the future plan. He could not take in an apprentice casually. If he trained an ungrateful person and did not find out in advance, the loss would be immeasurable.

Therefore, He Yukai’s idea is to have nothing rather than have someone of poor quality. He can accept He Yuzhu’s disciples when the time comes, and they will just need to be examined and assessed when they are used.

He Yukai is just slacking off at work, leaving most of the things to the deputy section chief. He Yukai only comes forward for work that liaises with the higher-ups. Everything is calm now, and supplies are slowly becoming tight. It is estimated that a notice will be issued soon to prohibit extravagance and waste. At that time, a wedding will just involve setting up one or two tables, or even not setting up any tables at all and just handing out some wedding candies or something.

The ration for the He family is still sufficient for three working people and one student. Now the Wang family and old man Li respect He Yukai very much. After the advent of the bill era, everyone in his family has commercial grain to eat, and they are not afraid of going hungry because they have a ration.

Because Qin Huairu was pregnant, Jia Zhang did not let her go home for the New Year, so the Jia family did not know that they could no longer get food in the countryside. Although only Jia Dongxu had a share of commercial grain, their family still had enough food. When Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu's grain were brought over, many people looked on with envy.

At the cafeteria, He Yuzhu made a list of the ingredients needed for the wedding banquet, and there were plenty of seasonings. Although He Yuzhu looked down on Liu Haizhong's style, since he had agreed, he was prepared to do a good job and not ruin his reputation. Now that Xu Damao had gone to the countryside to show movies again, it was really strange to not have someone to bicker with every day.

He Yuzhu was bored in the kitchen. There was no entertainment in the evening, so he had to leave work early and build the stove first. If he didn't go, he thought the people from the Liu family would be unreliable. It would be too stressful to build the stove early tomorrow morning.

After returning home, he found that no one had taken care of it. He Yuzhu shook his head speechlessly. Damn it, every time I have to build the stove by myself. Forget it, it’s you who gave me so much, how can I refuse?

He Yuzhu asked the two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian to help carry bricks and started to build the stove. After a while, they finished the work, and saw Liu Haizhong coming with vegetables. He bought fish and chicken, but it was impossible. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Even if he had great skills, there was nothing he could do if the ingredients were not enough. He could not take it.

"Okay, Uncle, you have to buy pork. Buy more so that it can taste good. Fish and chicken plus potatoes and cabbage?"

"Don't worry, Silly Zhu. I will prepare everything for you tomorrow. All the seasonings are in place. Today I bought bean sprouts, cabbage, peppers, onions, etc., as well as fish and chicken. Now all I need is pork and black fungus. I will prepare everything for you tomorrow. It's too late to buy pork, and there are only some spare ribs left, which won't be delicious, right? If I can't buy pork tomorrow morning, I'll use wild boar meat."

He Yuzhu took a look and thought, I just have to see the vegetables tomorrow. If I don’t, don’t blame myself for not trying my best.

"Silly Zhu, don't go. If you have connections, just hand over the things and I'll pay. Supplies are getting scarcer and scarcer now. If I hadn't exchanged a lot of tickets at the factory for the wedding banquet, I guess there would be no chance of getting pork. Fish is good. You don't need tickets, but everyone is thinking about the pork slices."

"Okay, Uncle, you take your time to think of a solution. I have no other choice. I have half a chicken at home and I have to stew it. I can't mistreat anyone but my nephew. Everyone is about to get off work and come back. I won't be here to talk to you anymore. You go ahead and do your own thing."

Liu Haizhong looked at it and shook his head. It would have been fine if it was last year, but what is the situation now? You can’t buy anything even if you have money. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy supplies. It seems that he will have to go to the pigeon market tonight.

But thinking about it, Guangqi is getting married soon and it's not bad to be the in-law of a director-level figure. My future is bright and my son also has a promising future. Let the He family be proud first, and I can think about other things when my luck turns and I become an official.

After returning home, He Yuzhu took out half a chicken and the dried goods sent by Xu Damao and started stewing the chicken with mushrooms. No, he had to prepare some fish for his sister-in-law, as stewed fish is also very nutritious.

Now the He family tries various ways to make Cai Wenqing eat better. Last night, He Yukai brought back an apple. Cai Wenqing gave He Yushui a little bit of it. He Yushui said that he still wanted to eat it, but he held back. It was for his nephew, and he couldn't eat the same thing with his nephew as he was the elder.

Cai Wenqing's baby has been in her belly for three months, and He Yukai's anxious mood has finally eased a lot. Then, Cai Wenqing's appetite was not very good, and He Yukai was very worried. After three months, her appetite has improved, and the morning sickness is not so severe. Now he just needs to find a way to keep Cai Wenqing well-nourished and in a good mood.
