Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Jia Dongxu found Jia Zhang.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

Jia Zhang looked at him and asked, "Is your wife going to work?"

Jia Dongxu nodded: "Mom, I think the benefits of her going to work outweigh the disadvantages."

"I'm the only one working in our family, and this salary is really not enough for us to spend."

"If she also works, our family will be a dual-income family that everyone envies."

"Besides, we both have salaries now, so our lives will be better in the future."

Jia Zhang: "Did you know she wanted five hundred yuan?"

Jia Dongxu: "I don't know, but 500 is really not a lot. It's a good deal to spend 500 to buy a job now."

Jia Zhang advised, "But if she goes to work and has a job, what will your status in the family be then?"

Jia Dongxu: "Mom, she has married me and is the daughter-in-law of our Jia family. Whether she has a job or not cannot change this fact."

"Just lend it to her and ask her to write you an IOU. Then she will pay you back when she gets her monthly salary."

"Mom, if you don't lend it to her, it will be hard to deal with the situation. If she wants to split the family or ask you to go back to the countryside, what will you do?"

Jia Zhang was furious: "She dares."

"But I am her mother-in-law, your biological mother."

Jia Dongxu: "Of course I don't want this. I'm counting on you to take care of my child."

Jia Zhang also said something soft, "It's not that Mom doesn't want to lend it to me, you know our family situation, where did we get the five hundred dollars?"

She was also afraid that things would really get out of hand. Her household registration was in the countryside, and asking him to go back to farm would be like asking her to die.

Jia Dong: "Don't you have a golden brocade?"

"Give it to her first."

Jia Zhang: "That's what your grandmother left for me."

Jia Zhang: "You don't eat or drink anything. If you like it, I'll make one for you when I have more money."

"For now, just live your life well."

Jia Zhang: "But those are my retirement money!"

Jia Dongxu: "Well, I'll discuss this with Qiao Yun."

Jia Dongxu found a new wife: "My mother doesn't have enough money, but she has a gold bracelet left by my grandmother."

"But this money is saved by mom for her retirement."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the two dollars I give to mom every month for medicine is also her retirement money."

Qiao Yun also risked everything for work.

"I'll write the IOU and buy her a new gold plate when I make some money, as long as she agrees to give her three dollars a month for retirement."

"Give her one more dollar, and treat it as my honor to her when I go to work."

In fact, Qiao Yun also has these gold and silver jewelry, but she doesn’t want to take them out now.

Jia Dongxu found Jia Zhang again.

"Mom, Qiao Yun said that she will buy you a new gold brocade when she has money in the future."

"Besides, I will pay you back first when I get paid in the future. In addition, I will give you three dollars a month as pension, and the extra dollar is her way of showing respect to you."

Jia Zhang asked excitedly: Really?
Jia Dongxu: "How dare she lie to you?"

"I'm here with you, what are you afraid of?"

Jia Zhang: "Okay, that's it."

"I'll give her to you tomorrow."

Qiao Yun was very happy to get the promise and rewarded Jia Dongxu generously in the evening.

It’s just that Jia Dongxu is too weak, not even as good as He Yuzhu during the day, which makes Qiao Yun miss He Yuzhu’s recklessness.

I secretly cursed Jia Dongxu as a waste in my heart.

He Yuzhu returned home, Xu Huizhen brought water and Qin Huairu washed his feet.

"Xue Ru, you should exercise more when you have nothing to do. You are about to give birth."

Chen Xueru: "Oh, I'm too lazy to move."

Mu Chunhua washed some fruits and said, "Go and deliver them to Uncle Chen's yard."

"I'm going to give some to my dad."

Chen Xueru: “Rainwater.”

"Here I come."

"Little Princess of the He family, come and accompany your sister-in-law to deliver fruits."

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui and said, "You should eat less. What will happen if you grow up to be a fat girl?"

He Yushui stuck out his neck and said, "Dad said, I'm growing up, I won't be fat anymore, I'll be thinner."

He Yuzhu: "Your father lied to you."

He Yushui: "No, it's not true, huh."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Huizhen and asked, "Do you miss home?"

Xu Huizhen: "A little bit, but I miss my mother at home."

He Yuzhu: "I asked Zhao Jianshe to send something to your parents' home or give them some money every time he went to the countryside."

"Do not worry."

Xu Huizhen was moved and said, "Thank you, Zhuzi."

He Yuzhu joked: "Since you're thanking me, let's try something new tonight."

Xu Huizhen blushed. "Not serious."

"Haha."

"Qin Huairu, don't worry about your family."

Qin Huairu: "I know."

"If your family is really in trouble, that's another matter."

Chen Gensheng and He Daqing were playing chess and eating fruit.

"Old He."

"You have nowhere to go."

He Daqing refused to admit defeat: "Let me think about it."

"By the way, Xueru is about to give birth. Have you thought of a name for the baby?"

He Daqing: "All the pillars have been named."

"My name is He Aiguo."

Chen Gensheng nodded: "It sounds good!"

While He Daqing was thinking, Chen Gensheng looked at the old butler.

"Old Chen, what's the interface like recently?"

"Master, many people we are familiar with have left with their families."

"By the way, Master Lou Bancheng is having a birthday party, shall we go?"

Chen Gensheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. He is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Let's go and get some information."

He Daqing: "Let's go together."

Chen Gensheng: "Did you get invited too?"

He Daqing: "I will take people to prepare for the birthday banquet. I think Zhuzi will also go."

Chen Gensheng: "Zhu Zi's status is different now, you won't let him be the chef, right?"

"No, it should be as a guest."

"I was saying that. Zhuzi is considered a young talent in Sijiu City now. How could Lou Bancheng, who is so good at dealing with people, do that?"

He Daqing: "Don't praise him. Look at how he brags every day."

Chen Gensheng: "Zhu Zi is really capable. He is in a high position at such a young age and is also appreciated by his superiors. His future is limitless."

He Daqing thought for a long time and threw the flag: "Lose."

Then he handed Chen Gensheng a cigarette, and the two of them puffed away.

"My dear, how is your second wife doing in Hong Kong?"

"The letter says everything is going well. Although the second son has no talent for business, he is a good scholar. His salary from work is enough to support the family, so he doesn't have to worry about anything."

"He said Hong Kong is very open and a paradise for doing business, but it's not very stable and a bit chaotic."

He Daqing: "It would be great if I could do business. With my cooking skills, I really want to open a restaurant."

"Cooking in the factory is nothing."

Chen Gensheng: "Don't worry, Zhuzi said, I will go but not now."

He Daqing finished smoking: "Another plate."

Chen Gensheng: "Wait a minute, get some wine and drink it while you're at it."

He Daqing: "Then wait, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

Passing by He Yuzhu's room and seeing him being served, He Daqing felt a little envious.

However, he now has his grandson to occupy his energy, so he is not in a hurry to find a partner. He will wait until his grandson is a little older.

The next day.

He Yuzhu didn't have breakfast at home and came to the factory.

"Brother, what are you doing today?"

"Make some wontons."

"Pack more, you and Sister Yali can eat together."

"and you?"

He Yuzhu: "I want to drink some porridge. Go get two salted duck eggs. I want to see if they are pickled enough."

When He Yuzhu was drinking porridge and eating salted duck eggs, Big Brother came.

"Hi, Pillar."

"Hi, Big Brother."

"Are you eating eggs?" He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, these are salted duck eggs."

He Yuzhu: "Try it?"

Several older brothers followed his example and soaked salted duck eggs in porridge, then slurped them up with relish.

Zhao Jianshe: "Chaos is coming."

He Yuzhu: "Try the wontons again."

"Zhu Zi, I don't know what to eat now."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I plan to make mutton steamed dumplings for you at noon."

"I know dumplings."

“They’re not boiled dumplings, they’re steamed dumplings.”

"What's the difference?"

"You will know then."

Li Huaide walked in: "Zhu Zi, what's there to eat?"

"Old Zhao, serve wontons to Brother Li."

"Brother Li, we'll have mutton dumplings for lunch and beef pies for dinner."

Li Huaide: "Make more, I'll bring it back for your sister-in-law to try."

He Yuzhu: "No problem. I'll ask Lao Zhao to go and deliver the mutton dumplings to my sister-in-law's house at noon. Otherwise, they won't taste good if they get cold."

"Zhu Zi, my father-in-law has a poor appetite recently, is there any way to help?"

He Yuzhu: "Mr. Fu doesn't like greasy food, I'll make him some light side dishes."

"Lao Zhao, buy some chicken feet when you go out this morning. Oh, and go see if there's any new garlic so I can make some pickled garlic."

Zhao Jianshe: "Okay, I understand."

"By the way, see if there are any lemons and buy some."

Zhao Jianshe: "Brother, what is lemon?"

He Yuzhu: "A very sour fruit."

"If you go around more, you should be able to buy it. This thing is a southern fruit."

He Yuzhu looked at the few bowls of wontons that were left over because his elder brother had drunk porridge.

"Old Zhao, go to the door and let the guard in to eat. Don't waste it."

Then He Yuzhu went to inspect the Security Department.

"Qiao Yun."

"Zhu Zi, I just happened to meet you. I came to find you."

In the morning, Jia Zhang gave Qiao Yun money and Qiao Yun came to see him.

"Come with me to the office."

With He Yuzhu's order, Qiao Yun entered the factory smoothly.

"Brother Zhuzi, this is three hundred yuan, and a gold plate."

He Yuzhu nodded and accepted it.

"Go back, I'll make some arrangements, and you can come directly to work tomorrow."

Qiao Yun didn’t eat enough in the morning, so she was reluctant to leave at this time. She left only after she had eaten her fill.

He Yuzhu felt that this woman might be a nuisance and might get involved with Li Huaide.

Isn't this a disguised way of giving Jia Dongxu a hat?
But never mind, what does it have to do with me? Jia Dongxu might even be enjoying it.

"Sister Yali, put more onions in the mutton stuffing."

Zhao Yali: "Okay."

"Is your family all right in the city?"

"Okay, you're fine."

"My parents have found some odd jobs now, and they are making matchboxes at home. They live a very hard life."

He Yuzhu: "By the way, go back and tell them not to delay the household registration issue."

Zhao Yali: "After you said that, they all changed their household registration to city hukou."

Looking at Zhao Jianshe running back and forth, He Yuzhu said: "You can ride my bike."

Zhao Jianshe: "How can this be possible?"

He Yuzhu: "It's OK. I have a car now, so I don't need a bicycle anymore."

"It's inconvenient for you to run around every day, and you can't ride a tricycle for everything."

"I went to the big canteen and the dumplings were steamed at eleven o'clock."

He Yuzhu came to He Daqing's office.

"Why are you here?"

"Jia Dongxu's wife will be helping in the kitchen tomorrow. Please make some arrangements for her."

He Daqing: "It's just a matter of one sentence."

"Do you need any special care?"

He Yuzhu: "No need, just wait until the end of the year to make her a regular employee."

"This woman is not simple, don't fall into her trap."

He Daqing: "I have eaten more salt than you have walked, you want to take advantage of me?"

He Yuzhu...you are so confident!
Who gave you the courage to say such things?

Liang Jingru?

He Yuzhu was walking around the factory with his hands behind his back when suddenly he saw someone climbing over the wall.

He Yuzhu pulled out his weapon and shouted, "Stop."

"If you run again, I'll shoot."

It would have been fine if I hadn't shouted. As soon as I shouted, these people ran away immediately.

He Yuzhu shouted to the people patrolling nearby: "Someone come."

"Section Chief."

"Someone just climbed over the wall, go chase him."

"Don't run away."

He Yuzhu was standing here, and soon several people were caught back.

"Tell the truth, or I'll make you suffer."

"Chief He, we..."

"You are so brave that you dare to steal the scrap metal from the factory and sell it?"

He Yuzhu: "Press it up, I'll report it."

He Yuzhu came to Factory Director Yang's office.

"Director Yang."

"Here comes the pillar."

"Director, I just caught a few workers stealing scrap metal from the factory."

Director Yang looked unhappy: "We just conducted a raid a few days ago. How dare these people commit crimes against the wind?"

He Yuzhu: "I asked. He took the risk because he had gambling debts."

Director Yang: "People like this cannot stay in the factory and must be fired."

He Yuzhu: "Will you hand it over to the wide-brimmed hat?"

Director Yang walked around the room: "Secretary Liu."

"Director."

"Go call Secretary Ma."

Soon Secretary Ma came over: "Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"

"Zhu Zi caught several..."

"Secretary Ma, what are you talking about?"

Secretary Ma: "What do you think?"

Director Yang was in a dilemma and said, "If we hand it over, it will bring shame to our factory. If we don't hand it over, it will be a bargain for them."

"Zhu Zi, do you have any good ideas?"

He Yuzhu: "Then fine them and make them admit their mistakes in front of the whole factory."

"We asked them to clean up the factory toilets, and then we let them go."

Director Yang: "Let's do it this way. This is too easy for them, but for the sake of the factory's reputation, this is the only way."

He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

"By the way, inform them of the street they are on."

Director Yang is also an old hand. After notifying these people in the street, I'm afraid they will have a hard time in the future.

Return to the Security Department.

"Lü Qiang."

"Section Chief."

"Director Yang ordered that these people be fired, but they must make self-criticisms in front of the entire factory, and their families should be notified to come to pay the fines."

"And then they cleaned up the factory toilets before they could be released, and the street where they were located was notified."

Lu Qiang: "Understood."

"Go ahead."

After giving his instructions, He Yuzhu returned to the second floor.

"Wow, it smells so good."

"It will be ready soon, please try it."

He Yuzhu ate one with a hissing sound.

"Find a clean lunch box, put some in it and send it to Brother Li's house so that my sister-in-law can have a taste." (End of this chapter)
