Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

It was still early, so He Yuzhu went directly to the steel rolling mill.

He saw He Daqing, the father whom he loved and hated, with a dead face.

"Silly Zhu, I'm looking for you."

"What do you want from me?"

"Come in quickly, you will be the chef for today's reception!"

He Yuzhu did not refute: "Okay, I'll be the chef, today I'll show you my cooking skills!"

Looking at his confident and free-spirited son, He Daqing was a little confused. Is this still my silly son?
Why do I feel something is different? But it doesn't look any different, it's still the same!

He Daqing pointed at the chicken, fish, meat and eggs and asked: "What are you going to do?"

“Chicken stewed with mushrooms, sweet and sour carp, braised pork...”

He Daqing: "Okay, let's do as you say."

He Daqing stood aside and watched Sha Zhu busying himself. He was still worried, afraid that his silly son would mess up.

The first thing He Yushui did was to boil a large pot of hot water, kill a chicken and pluck its feathers...

He Daqing on the side looked at He Yuzhu who was methodical and nodded secretly. He really was born to do this job.

While the chicken was stewing, He Yuzhu began to cook the sweet and sour carp. When the sweet and sour sauce was finished but before it was poured on, He Daqing stretched out his finger to taste it.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"But don't be proud. You are still far behind me, your father."

He Yuzhu thought, go ahead and brag, I am definitely a better cook than you in my two lifetimes, but he also knew that He Daqing didn't expose him to save face.

"Remember, it's hard to please everyone, so you should choose the right dish for the right person. For someone of Mr. Lou's age, use less sugar!"

He Yuzhu did not refute. What the other person said made sense, but you also said that it is difficult to satisfy everyone. If sweet and sour fish does not have this taste, can it still be called sweet and sour fish?

Before each dish came out of the pot, He Yuzhu would scoop out some and put it in the lunch box.

"I'll take it back for the rain to eat!"

He Daqing nodded with satisfaction. It was good that his silly son knew how to feel sorry for his sister.

If a cook does not steal, the crops will not be plentiful; if a tailor does not carry a ruler, he has bad intentions.
He learned to bring a lunch box from He Daqing. It makes sense that like father, like son.

The others in the kitchen looked jealous, but that was all.

At present, the steel rolling mill has not yet been merged into a public-private partnership. He Daqing was invited back by Lou Bancheng. He has absolute authority in this small world of the kitchen.

The kitchen is a place where people make a living by their skills. If you are good at it, no one will dare to challenge you.

After cooking, He Yuzhu staggered back home.

"Silly Zhu, you're back."

"What are you holding in your hand?"

He Yuzhu didn't say anything either. He walked up to Yan Bugui in silence and fired two electric cannons. He took off Yan Bugui's glasses before firing.

This thing is very valuable, and you have to pay for it if you break it.

"Silly Zhu, you have no moral principles."

"You dare to hit me?"

He Yuzhu: "Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?"

"Today I'll let you see it for yourself."

"What's wrong with hitting you? You're such a jerk and you want to take advantage of me, but you can't. I'll hit you again in the future."

"Go ahead and sue me if you can!"

Yan Bugui grinned and said, "Okay, okay, wait for me to go to the military council and sue you."

Sha Zhu said disdainfully: "I'm afraid of you!"

Old Yan·····
Yan Bugui's wife heard the noise and came out, along with her eldest son Yan Jiecheng.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Bugui was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Shazhu beat me."

Yan Bugui's wife Yang Ruihua: "Shazhu, are you crazy?"

Because of the big fight in the Yan family, many people gathered here.

He Yuzhu: "Hit him?"

"They are all light."

"I'll beat you up every time I see you next time."

Yan Bugui pointed at Sha Zhu and said, "You are too arrogant."

"Wife, go to the officers' meeting."

He Yuzhu: "Coward,"

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

"I'll tell you louder, I'm calling you a wimp."

"If you get beaten, you will just complain."

Yan Bugui was furious.

"Boss, beat him up."

"Dad, I'm afraid I can't beat him."

"What are you afraid of? Let's go together."

He Yuzhu smiled: "Come on, come on, do you want me to show you a few moves?"

"Don't just stand there. If you don't dare to come up, you are my grandson. When we meet, call me grandpa."

He Yuzhu just wanted to take this opportunity to teach Yan Bugui a lesson so that he wouldn't dare to take advantage of him in the future.

By the way, kill the chicken to scare the monkey and establish your authority in the yard.

We certainly cannot kill Yan Bugui, but there will be no problem with Boss Yan.

With a kick in the heart, the head of the Yan family was bent like a shrimp.

"Silly Zhu, I'm going to fight you."

Just at this time, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong came back after get off work.

"stop."

"Silly Zhu, Old Yan, what the hell is going on between you two?"

Yan Bugui pointed at his two panda eyes and said, "Look, look, Sha Zhu gave us two electric cannons, and then look at my boss."

Although Yi Zhonghai was not yet a big boss at that time, he still had a lot of prestige in the yard because he was a senior worker.

"Silly Zhu, did you hit him?"

"Yes."

Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said, "It's me!"

Liu Haizhong: "Too lawless."

Yi Zhonghai: "Why did you hit someone?"

He Yuzhu: "Dear neighbors, please give your opinions."

"I just came back, and this old Yan went straight to my lunch box, trying to take advantage of me. Bah, no way."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe it: "Just for this?"

He Yuzhu: "What's the matter? The world is big, but eating is the most important thing."

"You stole my food and made me starve, and I can't hit you?"

"I've wanted to beat him up for a long time. I stand at the door every day. Do you think he hasn't taken advantage of you?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"The last time I bought garlic, he insisted on breaking it off to taste it."

"Yes, even when I bought some green onions, he shamelessly asked for two to take home."

"I finally bought some meat last time, but he even took the skin."

"Good fight, Shazhu."

"Yes, this kind of person is so hateful, why don't you beat him to death?"

"Silly Zhu, be a man and beat him up."

Looking at the angry crowd, Yan Bugui lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Yi Zhonghai also knew Yan Bugui's character.

"Old Yan, look at you. You have caused public outrage."

Yan Bugui: "Then he can't just hit people without saying anything!"

He Yuzhu continued: "Also, you f*cking call me Shazhu, I am a fool, so I beat you for fun, there is nothing wrong with that."

This made everyone stunned.

"Yeah, Shazhu is not stupid."

He Yuzhu continued: "My dad gave me this nickname because he was angry. Since you guys take it seriously, I am willing to be a fool."

Liu Haizhong: “Silly…”

Seeing that He Yuzhu was following him, Liu Haizhong immediately changed his words: "He Yuzhu, what are you going to do?"

"It's okay, Lao Liu, your clothes are dirty."

In the fringe...

I was so scared, I thought you were going to hit me.

"This tiger thing, it would be shameful for me to beat him, but it would be humiliating if I lost."

He Yuzhu: "Okay, let's go, aren't you hungry?"

"Go do what you need to do, go home and cook and eat."

Yan Bugui: "No, everyone, don't leave."

"He can't just beat me for nothing, can he?"

Liu Haizhong: "What else do you want?" "Forget it, let's go home and eat."

Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yan, what can I say about you?"

"No one is well off. Stop staring at other people's families. Otherwise, no one will sympathize with you next time you get beaten up."

He Yuzhu: "Yi Zhonghai is right."

"Besides, your family is not poor. You are just stingy and don't want to spend your money."

Yan Bugui: "Don't talk nonsense, my family has no money."

He Yuzhu: 'Really?'

"You are a small business owner, how can you be without money?"

"Don't talk to me about legerdemain."

"Remember, don't mess with me. I don't want to bother with you."

"If you hold a grudge against me, I am willing to accompany you, but please be careful when your children go out."

"Do you threaten me?"

"Well, you're not deaf, you can hear it clearly."

He Yuzhu walked away in style.

Yan Bugui returned home feeling upset and angry, as he had received the beating in vain.

He Yuzhu returned home and opened the lunch box, and He Yushui almost grabbed it.

After being scolded by He Yuzhu, he reluctantly went to wash his hands before coming back to eat.

"Brother, where's Dad?"

"Your dad hasn't gotten off work yet,"

He Yuzhu said this, but he was thinking in his heart that he should go to Bai Guafu's house.

When Yu Shui finished his meal and went to play in the yard, He Yuzhu found all the money that He Daqing had hidden. The money was enough to buy another house in the old city.

However, he remembered that He Daqing still had small yellow croakers, but he didn't know where they were hidden.

He Yuzhu began to search the house, but in the end he still couldn't find it, so he looked up at the ceiling.

Yes, I just didn’t find the roof, but I can see the end of the roof at a glance!

No, we haven’t even looked at the vegetable basket hanging above the surface yet.

Sure enough, here it is.

He Yushui laughed happily. Three small yellow croakers, this stuff is hard currency!
It is said that gold is valuable in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times, but gold is always hard currency at any time.

After much thought, he decided that it would be safest to keep the money close to his body. Although he was not very good at sewing, he still found a piece of cloth and made a pocket inside his cotton-padded jacket. He put the money and the small yellow croaker in it and then sewed it up.

It's impossible to transfer out unless the clothes are lost, which is even more impossible. He Yuzhu plans to wear them even when sleeping.

The next day.

He Yuzhu saw He Daqing, who was in a depressed state, with unsteady steps and weak legs, in the factory.

"He Daqing, come home tonight, I have something to talk to you about."

"You little bastard, how dare you talk to your father like that?"

He Yuzhu: "You are my father, otherwise I will break your legs."

He Daqing muttered to himself, did he know something?

It shouldn’t be like this! It shouldn’t be like this!
One day passed.

When they got off work, the father and son of the He family walked together. He Yuzhu said, "You ride faster. Go buy some food and some wine."

"Let's have a drink tonight."

Leaving He Daqing with his back, He Yuzhu returned home and watched the rain running wildly in the alley.

"Rain, please stop for a while."

"Brother, why didn't you bring your lunch box?"

"There's nothing delicious in the cafeteria today, so we didn't bring any. Let's go home and make something delicious for ourselves in the evening."

Take He Yushui home and get a basin of water.

"Yushui, wash your face and your dirty hands. You look so dirty."

He Yuzhu cooked porridge in a small aluminum pot and heated up a few steamed buns.

I fried some peanuts and cut a plate of shredded pickles.

When He Daqing came back, He Yuzhu saw the meat and tofu.

I just made minced meat tofu and fried pork with cabbage.

The two of them didn't say anything while drinking, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

After eating, He Yushui went out to play.

He Yuzhu then spoke.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"what?"

"You know it all?"

He Daqing looked at him in surprise.

He Yuzhu sneered: "You used to be a prostitute, and now you are half-closed. You are really not picky."

He Daqing looked disheartened after hearing what He Yuzhu said.

"Little bastard."

He Yuzhu: "Did I touch your sore spot?"

"Don't slam the table, poke your beard and glare at me."

"I'm grown up now. Even if you really fight, you can't beat me."

"Don't forget, I practiced it when I was a kid."

He Daqing: "Why, you dare to hit me?"

He Yuzhu: "Maybe if I provoke him!"

"If you want to go with someone else, I don't care, but what about your daughter He Yushui?"

He Daqing: "Alas, there is nothing I can do!"

He Yuzhu: "If you want to find a woman, I have no objection."

"But why can't you find a decent woman?"

"You know nothing, I had no choice!"

He Yuzhu: "What's your little thing?"

He Daqing: "You know?"

"Isn't it just cooking for the puppet army?"

"You were also being exploited, so if you go to the officer, he will confess that it's not a big deal at all."

He Daqing: “Really?”

He Yuzhu: "Can I still lie to you?"

"My class background has been determined. I'm a hired farmer for three generations. You have nothing to fear."

"Trust me and take the initiative to find the officers' association."

"As for the White Widow, she can't threaten you. Now that you have solved this problem, what can she threaten you with?"

"By the way, you can threaten her instead. She came from the Eight Great Hutongs and is still doing business with her door half-closed!"

He Daqing: "Let me think about it!"

He Yuzhu: "Okay, give me a definite answer tomorrow morning!"

"If you can't bear to leave that Biaozi, just go with him."

"But you have to give me He Yushui's living expenses every month, otherwise I will make life miserable for both of you."

"Also, give me the house before you leave, so that after you die, no one will come to fight with me for the house."

"Finally, if you leave, even if no one will take care of you when you are old, don't come back if you die outside."

"I won't recognize you even if you come back. I'll kick you out."

He Yuzhu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting He Daqing's heart.

It was true that he liked the widow, but he was reluctant to abandon his children for her and felt uneasy.

His son's words made him even more upset. Could the White Widow's child provide for him in his old age?
How is this possible? He Daqing is not a fool. He will have to rely on his children when he is old.

Listen to what this little bastard said. If I really die, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to enter the house when I come back old.

The next day.

After He Yuzhu woke up.

"Give me money."

He Daqing: 'What are you doing?'

"Buy breakfast."

"Can't you just do something?"

"How can the food you make yourself be as delicious as the one you buy outside?"

After He Daqing gave the money, He Yuzhu went out, and the first thing he did was to queue up for the toilet.

There was a long queue outside the toilet. He Yuzhu looked and found that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were there, and it was almost their turn.

He Yuzhu came in front of Yi Zhonghai, holding his stomach.

"Ouch."

"Master Yi, I have a stomachache. Do you mind if I sit in front of you?"

"You are the highly respected Master Yi, and I, a junior..."

What else can Yi Zhonghai say? He Yuzhu has already put himself on a pedestal. (End of this chapter)
