Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

When he arrived at the factory, Li Huaide looked for him.

"Brother Li."

"Zhuzi, after get off work, let's go to Lou's house."

"what?"

Li Huaide: "Give me this year's dividends."

He Yuzhu: "If you don't mention him, I have almost forgotten this person."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Lou Bancheng knows how to be a good person."

He Yuzhu also smiled and said: "Yes, he never asks about factory matters, and he doesn't show up in the factory anymore."

Li Huaide: "Although his shares have been diluted, the factory has expanded and he has made a lot of money!"

Return to your office.

He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li: "It's the Chinese New Year. Is there anything missing at home?"

Yu Li shook her head: "No shortage."

She didn't want to owe He Yuzhu any more.

Otherwise, it will take a lifetime to pay it back.

He Yuzhu didn't ask again. This girl would always beg him.

Don’t be afraid of being late for good food, just simmer over low heat and take your time.

Just like meat, the more it is stewed, the more it becomes rotten, and the more it is stewed, the more fragrant it becomes!

At noon, He Yuzhu finished his meal and met with Wen Li.

It was a cold day, so the two of them got some exercise and warmed up.

"It's the Chinese New Year, you can take back the money and tickets."

"I've been a little busy lately, so I didn't finish the shopping and delivered it myself."

Wen Li: "You won't go to my house during the Chinese New Year?"

He Yuzhu: "I stopped going years ago. I don't have time. Let's see if there is time on the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Don't be reluctant to spend it. Use the cloth tickets to make new clothes for yourself and your family. When the money and tickets are used up, I will give them to you again."

Wen Li: "I won't spare you any trouble."

In the afternoon, after checking the time, He Yuzhu asked Wen Li to leave first.

I was also getting ready to get off work and follow Li Huaide to Lou's house.

He Yuzhu and Li Huaide drove a car, and the people from the security office drove a car because they had too much money.

People from the security office accompanied him to protect him.

Arriving at the Lou family's bungalow, Lou Bancheng and his wife were already waiting at the door.

He Yuzhu: "Quite sincere!"

Li Huaide: "Before departure, I called him!"

The car stopped and He Yuzhu and Li Huaide got out of the car.

"Welcome, Director Li and Deputy Director He, to visit us at home."

Li Huaide shook hands with Lou Bancheng first: "Dr. Lou, excuse me."

He Yuzhu: “Long time no see!”

Then the people from the security office carried the boxes and everyone entered Lou's house together.

The people from the security office put down the box containing the money and left.

But the car was left for them.

"Madam, make some tea for Director Li and Deputy Director He."

"Let the kitchen cook."

Li Huaide: "Forget it, stop being busy."

Lou Bancheng: "How can that be done? I still have some good wine in my collection!"

Li Huaide: "Zhuzi, please stay and have a drink with Mr. Lou. The Chinese New Year is coming, and I still have many places to visit in advance."

He Yuzhu: "Let's do it."

After drinking tea and talking a few words, Li Huaide asked He Yuzhu to see him off.

When no one is around.

"Zhuzi, there is something in the trunk of your car, don't forget it."

"what?"

He Yuzhu opened it and took a look.

"so much?"

"Haha, how much is this!"

Li Huaide clarified He Yuzhu's doubts: "The dividends were deducted from Lou Bancheng. He received so much dividends that even if he knew about it, he would not dare to tell it."

"Besides, I have tampered with the account book I gave him."

He Yuzhu: "Why don't you stay?"

Li Huaide: "If I stay, it will easily cause misunderstandings and cause other people to have some illusions."

"This is a matter of stance. Don't be afraid. Anyway, the big boss won't doubt you, and my father-in-law doesn't have to say anything either!"

"It's not good if neither of us gives him face. On the surface, he is still a shareholder of the steel rolling mill."

He Yuzhu nodded: "I understand."

"Then I'm going in."

"Okay, see you in the factory tomorrow!"

Li Huaide drove away.

He Yuzhu walked in again.

"Brother Zhuzi,"

"Hey, Xiao'e has grown into a big girl."

Lou Xiao'e: 'We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I can't always be a little girl! '

Lou Bancheng: "Zhuzhu, come on, let's eat!"

He Yuzhu: "Haha, I happen to be hungry too."

It was a very ordinary meal. It was obvious that Lou Bancheng had a vague intention to please He Yuzhu because of the change in status!
Don't look at the fact that he used to be the powerful Lou Bancheng!

But now, he is just a rich ordinary person.

The situation changed so fast that Lou Bancheng had to accept it.

After dinner, Lou Xiaoe saw him off.

"Don't give it away."

"Brother Zhuzi, can I go to your house tomorrow?"

Ok?
Go to my house?
"Are you looking for Xue Ru?"

"Welcome!"

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm looking for you."

this······

Why is Lou Xiaoe so bold? Why are all the girls nowadays so open-minded?
"Xiao'e, it's time for you to find someone and get married."

"Brother Zhuzi, don't avoid me. You know I want to marry you."

He Yuzhu: "But I have a wife!"

"I don't expect you to divorce Sister Xueru. Besides, it's not like I don't know what's going on in your family."

"Am I still missing in your family?"

Of course He Yuzhu would not admit it: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Even if I agree, your parents won't agree."

"Stop imagining things."

Lou Xiao'e: 'I don't,'

"You used to think I was young and said I had grown up, but now I have grown up!"

Why is this girl so stubborn!
"Okay, you can convince your parents."

He Yuzhu drove away.

Lou Xiao'e returned home and sat on the sofa sulking.

"Give up."

"Let your mother find a matchmaker to introduce you to someone."

Lou Xiao'e: "Dad, I don't care about status, please let me enter the He family."

Lou Bancheng: "Nonsense, even if my Lou family loses power, I won't let the eldest daughter of the Lou family go down and do something for others."

"Of course, I don't deny that Zhuzi is excellent, but it's not worth what you do."

Lou Xiao'e ran upstairs.

"Then I won't marry."

Lou’s mother: “This child!”

Lou Bancheng: "It's all because of you."

"Old Lou, you said we can't do anything right now. When will this day end?"

"People are humble when they leave their hometown. If it weren't for the difficulty of leaving the homeland and the family business, I would want to leave too!"

Lou's mother advised: "Otherwise, just sell off all the property."

Lou Bancheng: "If we let go, our family will really have nothing."

"What's the use of just having money!"

"We must leave a family fortune for our children!"

Lou's mother: "The eldest sister has left with her children and a lot of family property. They have already taken root outside."

"If you think about it for yourself, can you come back?"

Lou Bancheng: "Just wait and see!"

He Yuzhu returned home and took the box back into the house.

"What is this?"

"Put away the money."

After Chen Xueru put the money away.

"Xueru, Hua'er, let's go out and burn paper."

After the three people came to the crossroads, they drew a circle on the ground and lit the yellow paper with matches.

The next day.

Lou Xiao'e originally planned to go to He's house, but was stopped just as she was about to go out.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to go for a walk."

Lou Bancheng: "Don't go."

Lou Xiao'e: "Dad, you are too domineering."

"I am your father, you have to listen to me." When her father blocked her, Lou Xiao'e angrily returned to the room.

In the factory.

He Yuzhu suggested: "Brother Li, let's take a holiday on the 29th of this year."

"Everyone is here on New Year's Eve, and their minds are not on work. They have to cook in the cafeteria. Besides, it's not easy for the factory to collect meal tickets on New Year's Eve."

Li Huaide: "Alright."

"Then it's New Year's Eve, a holiday!"

"Old Sun!"

"exist."

"Let the canteen kill chickens, fish, hares, and a few pigs."

"Let the big guys eat meat and vegetables, and give each person a dinner coupon."

Sun Hongsheng: "Okay, leave it to me."

Li Huaide continued: "All departments must make good work arrangements."

"Let's adjourn."

come back to the office.

"Old Zhao, if the security office is on duty during the New Year, please go and make arrangements now."

"There is no shortage of supplies this year. Let everyone go to the canteen and make the frozen dumplings for the Chinese New Year in advance and eat them while on duty!"

Zhao Jianshe: "Sure, I'll be on duty on New Year's Eve!"

He Yuzhu: "Okay, just like in previous years, as long as nothing goes wrong."

"Also, no one should come to my house. Working hard is better than anything else."

blink.

The factory is on holiday.

He Yuzhu brought back a box of firecrackers, and the children loved playing with them.

He Daqing: "What are your ideas for New Year's Eve dinner?"

He Yuzhu: "Ask everyone what they want to eat."

"Don't cook a whole table and eat for several days."

After asking around, everyone wanted to eat something vegetarian.

It is difficult for other people to eat meat. If outsiders knew about their family's situation, they would be jealous to death.

Chen Xueru: "I want to eat fried cucumber with shrimps."

Mu Chunhua: "I want to eat mushrooms."

He Daqing: "Then we can only stew chicken with mushrooms."

Mu Chunhua: "Put more vermicelli."

He Yuzhu can meet him. I am afraid he will have to eat this chicken for several more meals.

He Yuyu: "I ate goose stewed with sauerkraut, sweet and sour pork ribs, pot-wrapped pork, beef stewed with persimmons, and braised mutton..."

He Daqing looked at He Aiguo and He Aimin with a smile. ,
"Grandson, what do you want to eat?"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork."

"And, and..."

"Think slowly, don't rush."

"Also, lamb chops."

After writing it down, He Daqing made preparations and prepared the ingredients in advance.

Lao Chen and You Min went to help.

Chen Xueru and others began to clean the house, wash and rinse.

He Yuzhu got up, loaded fine grain and a few kilograms of pork into the car, and drove to Xu's house.

"Brother Zhu, why are you here?"

"Send something to your house."

Xu Damao: "I'm still thinking of going to your house later."

He Yuzhu; "The times are bad, forget it."

"Son, come here, thank you godfather."

"Thank you, godfather."

He Yuzhu rubbed Xiao Tiejun's head: "On New Year's Eve, eat more meat dumplings."

"Ok!"

"It's Chinese New Year, why didn't you make new clothes for Tie Jun?"

"There aren't many cloth tickets, so I'm going to save them for him in the spring."

"This kid grows up fast. If you do it this year, you won't be able to wear it next year!"

He Yuzhu dug into his pocket and took out a few feet of cloth: "Make it bigger for him, so he can still wear it next year!"

"How can we not make new clothes for our children during the Chinese New Year?"

"I won't go to Uncle Xu's place."

"Okay, we will go tomorrow anyway."

After He Yuzhu left.

Li Liping: "Da Mao, Brother Zhu sent you fine grain. Can I send some of the coarse grain at home to my parents' family?"

Xu Damao: "What, your mother's family is looking for you again?"

Li Liping: "You also know, they..."

Xu Damao: "How many stick noodles do you have at home?"

"About thirty pounds."

Xu Damao thought for a moment: "I'll go to my parents' place tomorrow and bring ten catties to them, and ten catties to my sister. Our family will keep a few catties to mix with fine grains, and give ten catties to your parents' family."

"I won't give the refined grains to my parents. These two children can't eat coarse grains all the time because they want to grow taller."

"By the way, divide this pork into three parts."

Li Liping: "Huh?"

"Share the pork too!"

Xu Damao: "If you divide it, the chicken will not be divided."

"Leave it to my son for the mushroom stew."

He Yuzhu returned home.

Fuzi also posted the couplets at home.

The big dragon lanterns are also hung up.

The ice lanterns he made are also on.

It’s very festive for the New Year.

He Yuzhu took out the melon seeds and peanuts that had been soaked in salty water in advance and slowly stir-fried them in an iron pot.

Then I grilled a lot of peanuts and made salt-baked peanuts.

Save it for drinking.

He Daqing also braised the beef.

Their family always cuts a plate of beef with soy sauce when they have porridge or noodles in the morning. When the children are growing up, they cannot live without these foods.

He Daqing handed him the pig's trotters: "Roast them over the fire!"

He Yuzhu: "What about chicken feet or something?"

He Daqing: "I've finished processing it. These things will be marinated overnight and they will be delicious tomorrow."

Everyone was busy until midnight before they were done.

Before going to bed, the children were given a bath and changed into clean underwear.

The next day.

He Da got up early in the morning and made leek boxes for everyone, accompanied by millet porridge.

After breakfast, the fire didn’t stop.

He Daqing began to clean out the pig lungs and large intestines.

The children also played wildly.

He Yuzhu was so lucky that he asked them to go to the alley.

Small whips kept ringing outside, and the children held lit incense in their hands and small whips in their pockets.

He Daqing: "Zhuzi, I'm ready to retire."

He Yuzhu: "I asked you to retire before, but you didn't agree. Why did you suddenly think about it?"

He Daqing: "If it weren't for my grandson and granddaughter who need someone to pick her up when they are old, I would still be young in my fifties!"

"I can still work for ten or twenty years."

He Yuzhu: "Let's do it."

He Daqing: "There is still rain and she will be admitted to college this year. I thought I would deliver food to her at noon to save her the trouble of going back and forth."

"If you don't retire, you won't be able to free up time."

He Yuzhu: "Let's report it to the factory later."

"Although I retire early and my salary is smaller, my family is not short of money."

"Currently, nothing is as important as Yu Yu's exam. As long as she passes the exam, it will be worth it no matter how much she puts in."

Just as he was talking about He Yuyu, this girl came out.

"What did you say about me?"

"nothing!"

He Yuyu: "Brother, Ding Qiunan attended a technical secondary school."

He Yuzhu: "You don't want to take the college entrance examination?"

"Well, she studied medicine."

He Yuzhu: "It's probably her family's intention."

"The paths you two will take in the future are different. Regardless of others, just study normally."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you pass the Guangzong Yaozu exam, you won't be short of jobs even if you don't pass the exam and graduate from high school."

"When the time comes, go to the steel rolling mill. As long as I'm here, you can be a clerk and enjoy the treatment of a cadre."

He Yuyu: "Yeah!"

"By the way, Yu Haitang seems to be in love with someone."

He Yuzhu: "With whom?"

"Yes, there is a man from outside the school who always comes to pick her up from school."

He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Are you planning to take the exam?"

He Yuyu: "I guess, I should have found a good way out for myself. If I don't pass the exam, I can graduate and go to work!"

"I heard what she meant is that there is someone in this man's family who can arrange a job for her!" (End of Chapter)
