Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

"...Mom said that Uncle Mu didn't agree, but his eldest son insisted that he help to talk to him, which led to what happened today." As soon as Liu Ting got in the car, she explained the inside story to He Yuzhu.

On the day off, He Yuzhu naturally drove himself for personal matters and paid for the gas himself so that Comrade Lao Mo could have a rest.

He had just refused his brother-in-law's offer to drink on the grounds that he had to drive.

There is no such thing as not drinking and driving these days, but He Yuzhu's refusal to drink was legitimate because the weather was cold and the roads were slippery and he needed to ensure the safety of his whole family.

He Yuzhu looked at the road carefully. By the evening, snowflakes began to fall again, so he really needed to be careful while driving.

Hearing this, he just laughed and said, "You want to go back to the city, and you want to be in an important position. How can there be so many good things in the world?"

“Grandpa pretended to be drunk and went to sleep.

Grandpa used to be able to drink three or four cups, but today he got drunk after just two cups." He Yuan suddenly said, revealing the truth from another perspective.

He Yuan was not wrong. When He Yuzhu came to the Mu family, even though Comrade Mu was in poor health, the father-in-law and son-in-law sometimes shared a bottle of wine.

Of course, He Yuzhu drank a little more, and Lao Mu drank three or four taels to satisfy his cravings.

But today, Comrade Lao Mu drank two and a half cups of 1 liang 2 qian 5 yuan, then said he felt dizzy and slipped into the room to sleep.

This is a smart person.

At the Mu family, after He Yuzhu's family left, Comrade Mu had a few awkward words with Liu Ting's mother and chose to say goodbye.

He did not choose to take his wife and children back to Lao Mu.

This would also save him the embarrassment of interacting with Liu Ting's mother every day.

When Liu's mother watched Comrade Mu go away, closed the door and went back to the house, and was cleaning up the leftovers in the house, the white-haired old Mu came out.

Seeing the gloomy look on the old man's face, Liu's mother couldn't help but complain: "It's a rare occasion for the boss and Tingting's family to come over, why do you have to be so ugly?"

"Hmph, he has no ability, but he wants me, his father, to beg for help. I can't afford to lose face like this." Comrade Lao Mu said in a hoarse voice.

Mother Liu said with a smile: "When the eldest brother was targeted in the army, didn't you panic?

Did you also pray for pillars at that time?

Why are you being so hypocritical at this time?
Are you blaming him because Zhuzi didn't agree?"

There must be a test in what Mrs. Liu said. She didn't want the He family and the Mu family to come into conflict because of this matter.

In that case, she and Liu Ting would definitely have the hardest time.

It’s difficult to be a stepmother. No matter what you do, there will always be people gossiping about you.

"Cough cough cough..." Comrade Lao Mu waved his hands and couldn't stop coughing once he started.

Liu's mother hurried forward, helped him sit down, and brought him a cup of hot tea.

From the fact that the tea was brewed in advance, Liu's mother knew that the old man was pretending to be drunk on purpose.

"Ahem... It's different. When he was being targeted, I thought it was normal for me to care about him.

You have never been on a team, so you don't know what's going on.

If there really is a problem, it can be big or small, and it might ruin his family's lives.

At that time, I was just thinking about whether the brother and sister could survive.

But it’s different now. The boss is a little greedy...
The old man's eldest son went to the peninsula without hesitation. Why should he expect me, his father, to arrange everything for him? If you have the ability, you can do important work and get a higher position.

If he doesn't have the ability, even if I let him be..., he won't be able to do it well. ····

Cough cough..." When Old Man Mu was angry, his face turned red and his coughing became more severe.

Mother Liu patted the old man on the back. Although she understood what Comrade Lao Mu meant, she still explained, "Zhuzi's child is also difficult. Just like he said, if the eldest son only wants to be a worker, he can arrange it at any time.

But the boss's level is there. No matter where he goes, if he is introduced by Zhuzi, he will be labeled by Zhuzi.

If you encounter any problems in the future, the more familiar the people are, the harder it will be to get things done. ····

For so many years, no matter where Zhuzi went, even his sister and brother-in-law didn't dare to help him make arrangements...
What’s more, he was a cook!”

Liu's mother summed it up in one sentence. This does not mean that Liu's mother looks down on He Yuzhu, but rather explains that He Yuzhu has no foundation and must be more cautious than others when doing things.

"Ahem... Zhuzi, a cook, has reached his current position. Why? Because he is capable. People with abilities deserve important positions.

In terms of academic qualifications, background, and starting position, the eldest brother is far ahead of Zhuzi. Why can Zhuzi achieve such results?
He has accomplished nothing so far?
He doesn't reflect on himself and still wants to eat the ready-made meal. He has no shame, but I do.

···Pa···" Lao Mu finished his speech with emotion and ended by slamming the table.

It should be said that this is also the father's regret for his son. If at this time, Comrade Xiao Mu joined a unit and wanted to cooperate with the TV industry chain, Lao Mu would help to make the connection.

Or if you encounter any targeting at work, Comrade Lao Mu will also think of helping you.

This is the concern that parents have for their children.

But Comrade Xiao Mu hasn't returned to the city to work yet, but he's already starting to find fault with him. This is why Comrade Lao Mu is angry.

People like them have been working since they were young, risking death.

Let’s not talk about how lofty their ideals were, nor how great they were back then.

At least they started from scratch, and what they look down upon most are children who just sit back and enjoy the benefits of their parents.

····
"... Like your grandpa, he must love his child, but he knows that he can't support the child for the rest of his life, so even though he wants the child to become successful, he is unwilling to ask me to help your uncle.

It's the same with mom and dad. When you go to Hong Kong Island next year, the conditions at your grandfather's place will definitely be much better than in Old Beijing.

I will buy you many beautiful clothes and take you to see the prosperity of Hong Kong Island.

But Dad hopes you can remember that the most important thing for you now is to study. Those external temptations can indeed easily make people addicted.

But if you only indulge in the bright lights, wine, and women, you are giving up your youth.

So, the first thing you need to learn is to resist all kinds of temptations.

Daddy doesn’t want you to go to Hong Kong Island to be an ascetic, but you need to know what material desire is and what real wealth is…” He Yuzhu also sat in the study room with a cup of strong tea, talking to He Yuan about the meaning of life.

This is very noble, although He Yuzhu also knows that if he were to go to Hong Kong Island, he might not be able to do very well.

But every parent wants their child to become a noble person.

Of course, you also need to be happy.

He Yuan looked dizzy after hearing this. After all, she had never seen what the prosperous Hong Kong Island that He Yuzhu described was like.

So she didn't quite understand what He Yuzhu said. (End of this chapter)
