Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Because He Yuzhu showed off some of his skills and had previously controlled the other people in the cafeteria, he no longer had to cook for the big pot.

He Daqing and I found a place where we would not get in the way and sat together to drink tea and smoke.

"If we move away, what are your plans, deaf old lady?"

He Yuzhu lowered his head and said, "How can I put it? This old lady is just a little greedy, nothing else."

"It's not that we can't afford to support her, but if we take her with us, we'll have one more person to take care of. Fortunately, we don't need anyone to take care of us now."

"But when he can't move anymore, he'll need someone to take care of him."

"I want her wealth but I don't want to take care of her."

He Daqing: "Did you guess that this old lady is unusual?"

He Yuzhu: "Well, only the daughters of wealthy families would bind their feet. Her walking stick looks unusual!"

"Moreover, this old lady doesn't even have a patch on her body, and she is very particular about what she eats and drinks. How can she be an ordinary person?"

He Daqing: "The old lady is indeed extraordinary, which is why no one in the courtyard wants to offend her."

"There are many benefits to taking care of the old lady. Not only will you get her wealth, but her connections are also important."

He Yuzhu: "Let me think about it. Anyway, I don't want my wife to take care of him."

"Unless someone waits on him, we are both cooks, and he will have plenty to eat and drink."

"I heard the factory wants a company."

He Yuzhu: "This is imperative. Lou Bancheng has been treating us to dinner recently, isn't it just for this matter?"

"By the way, after the public-private partnership, you might even be able to become a canteen director and become a cadre."

He Daqing was a little unconfident: "Can you?"

He Yuzhu: "You have always been in charge of the canteen, and you are a good cook."

"Definitely."

“But after the public-private partnership, the factory will definitely be expanded, and more canteens will be added.”

The two were talking about the future when suddenly a notice was broadcast that they were going to support agriculture.

He Yuzhu went there in the previous life, but he won’t go there in this life.

At night, He Yuzhu went to the black market. He kept telling He Daqing that he would not sell the small yellow croaker, but in fact he was saving it for Mu Chunhua to buy penicillin.

The next day.

Sha Zhu went to deliver medicine to Mu Chunhua and found that all the furniture next door had been bought back.

Mu Chunhua has memories of her previous life and knows something about antique furniture. He Yuzhu just needs to give her money and she can arrange it herself!

He Yuzhu: "Hua'er, keep the medicine."

Mu Chunhua: "How did you get it?"

He Yuzhu: "I bought it from the black market using my father's small yellow croaker."

Mu Chunhua: "Dad definitely doesn't know."

He Yuzhu: "Don't worry about him. Anyway, our family will not be short of money in the future."

"Now that the furniture is ready, let's quickly arrange the water supply and drainage."

Mu Chunhua: "I've found a good person. We agreed to come to work in the evening."

He Yuzhu: "Okay, you decide on the arrangements, and I'll give you the money."

Mu Chunhua: "I have some here too, it's enough."

After delivering the medicine, He Yuzhu went to the factory.

Mu Chunhua returned to the next door.

"Hua'er, your boyfriend is here?"

"Dad, let's go."

"In a hurry to get to work."

"This is the penicillin he bought for you."

"What? Such a precious thing, he..."

"Hey, your daughter is his, so what's wrong with buying you two boxes of medicine?"

"You, go to the hospital and prepare for an infusion in the next two days."

"But you haven't married yet, I..."

"Don't worry, his ancestors were all imperial chefs, so he has quite a bit of family background."

"I'm going out to buy groceries."

"Don't you have one at home?"

Mu Chunhua: "People from next door are coming to work at night. If we provide them with a meal in the middle of the night, they will have more energy to work."

Mr. Mu: "Don't just buy vegetables, buy two packs of cigarettes."

Mu Chunhua: "Don't worry, I understand."

As soon as He Yuzhu arrived at the factory, He Daqing told him.

"The factory is closed in the afternoon. I took a private job. We will leave after lunch."

He Yuzhu: "Which one?"

"The Chen family in Qianmen."

Suddenly, He Yuzhu's heart moved.

I can see Xueru today.

Suppressing the ecstasy in my heart, I asked, "Why do you have a day off this afternoon?"

"Some of our people are out supporting agriculture. Lou Bancheng has asked people to check the machines in the maintenance workshop this afternoon, so our canteen will be closed."

There was nothing to do in the morning, so the father and son didn't need to cook from the big pot.

After hanging out for the whole morning and having a meal, the two of them set off.

When he arrived at Chen's house, He Yuzhu met the man with the surname Hou. However, this man had never competed with him in his previous life, so it was even more useless for him in this life.

Arriving at the kitchen, He Daqing and He Yushui took a look at the ingredients.

Not long after, Chen Xueru came with her hands behind her back.

When their eyes met, they saw joy in each other's eyes.

Chen Xueru: "Hou Qingfeng, please stop making trouble here."

"Miss, I just want to help Master He."

Chen Xueru: 'Can you cook?'

"will not."

"Then what else are you talking about!"

"My second brother seems to need your help to run errands and buy some things. Please go find my second brother."

"Okay, miss, please don't go to the kitchen anymore. It smells like cooking fumes."

After sending Hou Qingfeng away, Chen Xueru nodded to He Daqing. After all, this was their future father-in-law.

He Yuzhu: "Dad, I need to go to the bathroom."

"A lazy donkey will pee and poop a lot."

He Yuzhu didn't care and followed the two people behind Chen Xueru to the corner.

Chen Xueru turned around and hugged He Yuzhu tightly.
"Pillar!"

"I miss you so much."

He Yuzhu: "I miss you too."

"Don't cry, we've met each other."

Chen Xueru: "Zhu Zi, you don't even come to see me."

He Yuzhu: "It's unfair. Why should I come to you?"

"You are from a wealthy family."

"Yes, I have seen flowers."

Chen Xueru: 'Does she still remember you?'

He Yuzhu nodded: "She remembers it too."

"Take me to see her sometime."

"Whenever you can come out, I'll take you there."

"By the way, I bought a small yard, which is big enough for our family to live in."

Chen Xueru: "That's great. I don't want to go to the slum."

He Yuzhu: "I also changed my age, so we can register for marriage."

"But what about you?"

Chen Xueru: "It's okay, I have a way."

He Yuzhu: "What haven't we seen in our previous lives?"

"I just want to live a peaceful and prosperous life."

Chen Xueru: "From what you said, you don't want to go to Hong Kong?"

He Yuzhu: "Well, I just want to live a good life. I was too busy in my last life, so I will just take care of you two sisters in this life."

Chen Xueru: "Where are Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Let them be."

The two of them still wanted to be together, but it would be difficult to explain to He Daqing if it took too long.

"I'm going to help my dad cook first, you wait and eat."

"I'll take you to the flowers later."

When he returned to the kitchen, He Daqing looked at him.

"You're not going to tell me that Miss Chen is your girlfriend?"

“She’s one of them.”

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised."

"If you miss something, it's no joke."

"Don't worry, they know each other and can accept each other."

"I'll get an identity by then, and this matter will be resolved."

He Daqing: "Get another identity?"

He Yuzhu: "Yes."

After cooking for the Chen family, He Daqing received a red envelope and left with He Yuzhu.

There are a lot fewer people in the courtyard today, as they have all gone to the countryside to support agriculture.

Jia Dongxu was one of them, but he was probably sleeping outdoors now. After He Yuzhu had dinner in the evening, he came to Huaer's house.

"flower."

"get off work?"

"I met Xueru today."

"Oh, how is he?"

"It's fine. She is the daughter of the Chen family."

"She also said she would find a chance to come and see you."

Mu Chunhua: "Does she still remember us?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Do you think Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen also remember it?"

He Yuzhu: “I don’t know about that.”

Because He Yuzhu did not bring these two women with him when he prayed.

"You are the object of the flower, right?"

Mr. Mu came next door and saw He Yuzhu.

"Hello, old man."

"Thank you, young man."

"You?"

Mu Chunhua: "My dad is thanking you for getting the medicine."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "We are all family, please don't be so polite."

"Hua'er, let's arrange for our dad to go to the hospital for an IV tomorrow."

"Well, I'll take him there tomorrow."

Mr. Mu: "It's okay, it will be the same in a few days. I'll help you clean up the house first."

He Yuzhu: "No, you should get well first."

Huaer: "That's right, your good health is the greatest help to us."

Looking at Mr. Mu smoking welding cigarette, He Yuzhu took out his own cigarette from his pocket.

"You always smoke this."

"No, I'm used to it."

"Just take this from me. It's good for your health. Your lungs are not in good condition."

Mu Chunhua: "Why don't you persuade him to quit smoking, but still give him cigarettes?"

He Yuzhu: "I've been smoking for my whole life, how can I just quit?"

Mu Chunhua thought about it and realized that it was true. He didn’t quit smoking even in that situation in his previous life. He just smoked secretly, didn’t he?
"Dad, I'll give you the pillar so keep it. I won't ask you to quit smoking, but you can't keep smoking."

He Yuzhu: "I will pay for your cigarettes from now on."

"No, the cost is too high."

"It's okay. We don't need to buy such good ones. I can still afford cigarettes that cost a few cents a pack."

He Yuzhu thought of something and said to Mu Chunhua, "Hua'er, don't throw away the leftover soil. The toilet is built at the base of the wall. Although it's a bit cold to use the toilet in winter, at least there's no smell."

“Ask them if they can dig a basement.”

Mu Chunhua: "If someone asks, how should we answer?"

He Yuzhu: "They say it's a vegetable cellar."

Mu Chunhua: "Okay, I understand."

He Yuzhu: "Our factory is about to start construction. When the time comes, I will get some cement or something and use it to plaster the basement. Then it will be ready."

Mu Chunhua: "There will be more people in our family in the future. I'm afraid this small yard won't be big enough to accommodate us, right?"

He Yuzhu: "Yeah, I'm worried too!"

"Let's see if we can buy the house next door later."

"That's it for now."

When He Yuzhu returned home, He Daqing was already lying down.

"What are you doing?"

"Check out the progress of the renovation."

"When can it be fixed?"

"I've bought all the furniture and everything, so I can move in anytime."

"It's just that the water supply and drainage haven't been fixed yet."

"Why, Liu Haizhong urged you to move?"

He Daqing: “Just asking.”

When He Daqing came back, Liu Haizhong saw him and asked.

But it was this question that caused trouble.

The deaf old lady heard it.

When the deaf old lady heard that the He family was moving away, she started to think about it.

It was right for him to let Yi Zhonghai's wife serve him, but she valued He Yuzhu more.

Yi Zhonghai was exchanging interests with her to please him.

But she valued He Yuzhu more in terms of character, and she felt it was a pity that He Daqing did not leave.

Now that the He family is moving away, she finds it difficult to make a decision.

But she still decided to find an opportunity to test He Yuzhu. If He Yushui was willing to take care of her in her old age, she would rather choose He Yuzhu.

After all, by following the He family, he can satisfy his appetite.

At this age, this is all I want.

The next day.

He Yuzhu came back from the toilet early in the morning.

"Good morning, old lady."

"Zhu Zi, the old lady wants to talk to you."

He Yuzhu: "Okay."

The old lady said: "That's great. I didn't have breakfast. Let's go to your house and eat."

He Yuzhu: "Okay."

The He family’s breakfast is similar to everyone else’s, except that they put sesame oil in the pickles, which makes it taste better than other families’.

Moreover, they cook millet porridge instead of cornmeal porridge.

He didn't eat steamed bread because He Yushui was still growing.

He Daqing: "The old lady is here."

Deaf old lady: "Daqing, I am sorry to trouble you."

He Daqing: "It's just about having one more pair of chopsticks."

"There are red dates in this millet porridge."

"Well, it replenishes blood and qi."

After finishing breakfast, He Yuzhu said, "Dad, you go to work first."

He Daqing: "OK."

After dinner, He Yushui went back to take a nap.

Only He Yuzhu and the deaf old lady were left in the room.

"Old lady, can you speak now?"

"Zhu Zi, I heard you are moving away?"

"From what Liu Haizhong said?"

"I overheard your dad talking to Liu Haizhong."

He Yuzhu didn't lie: "Yes, we are moving away."

"Alas, now that you are gone, what shall I do, madam?"

He Yuzhu knew that the deaf old lady was here to test him.

"Ma'am, let's be frank today."

"I know what you think and what you mean."

"If you want me to take care of you until the end of your life, no problem, I can take you with me."

Hearing this, the deaf old lady's eyes lit up.

He Yuzhu continued: "But you also have to hand over your family assets to me."

"But don't worry. If you follow my He family, I can't guarantee you will have the best meals every day, but I can ensure you are well fed."

"I, He Yuzhu, will take care of you from now on."

The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and calculated in her mind.

He Yuzhu continued: "If you trust me, let's do this."

"If you don't trust her, let Yi Zhonghai's wife serve you."

"To be honest, there are not many good people in this yard. The house I bought this time is also a private house with a yard, and I live my life behind closed doors."

"Can the Qing Dynasty agree?"

"Old lady, you should have realized that I am the head of the He family now."

The deaf old lady: "Okay, I'll bet once. I trust you, Zhuzi."

"I can give you anything, but I have to keep the jewelry. I will give it to you after I leave."

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

"If you really agree, let's sell the house in your backyard first."

"We're moving away anyway. The house I bought is in Zhima Hutong and I'm renovating it now. I'm planning to get water and sewage installed."

"It will be more convenient to use water in the house in the future, and the faucets won't freeze in the winter."

"With a drain, there's no need to queue up to use the toilet, and there's no need to empty the urine pot."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she said, "This house is great and comfortable to live in!"
“Who are you going to sell the backyard house to?”

"Yanbugui!"

"Sell it to that stingy guy!"

He Yuzhu: "It's okay, I won't lose anything." (End of this chapter)
