Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuzhu is really rude.

After taking the waiter home, he took a basket and took the waiter to the sales outlet to buy vegetables.

This is not to show off, but to let the waiter see it.

He Yuzhu knew that there would always be a day when his master's wife would go down to accompany Wang Furong.

And there will inevitably come a time when the waiter will have to set up his own household.

He couldn't change the cowardly character of the waiter, so he could only let him look more at how high the sky was and broaden his horizons.

If the old lady is no longer around in the future, the waiter won't be blinded by petty gains.

This is one of the few things He Yuzhu can do.

He really treats Xiao Er as his younger brother.

But this kind of emotion is still far from the brotherly and sisterly love he has for Yu Shui.

Apart from anything else, if Yu Shui and her husband don't succeed in the future, He Yuzhu can support her family for the rest of their lives.

But if Xiao Er's family just wants to rely on him and doesn't want to work hard on their own, He Yuzhu will get tired of it one day.

It is precisely because He Yuzhu has a clear understanding of this that since Wang Furong left, He Yuzhu usually asks Liu Ting and Yu Shui to go and see the old lady.

Except during festivals, he seldom went there.

This kind of "estrangement" may make Xiaoer and his wife feel that He Yuzhu is not willing to pay attention to their family.

But in fact, the third senior brother and the old lady both knew why.

To put it bluntly, it is to cultivate the independence of the second graders.

Now He Yuzhu's family usually reports what they need for the next day to the sales outlet the day before.

So He Yuzhu went there, checked the bill, paid the money, picked up his things and left.

Meat, eggs, rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Because He Yuzhu was born as a chef and had many children in his family, the things his family bought every day were always more varied than others.

To put it bluntly, the He family also has the conditions to make their own food better than others.

It is the home of Director Wang from the street, although the salary of the old couple is higher than that of the He couple.

But every family has some relatives and friends, including poor relatives and friends in difficult financial situations.

However, the human touch of that era cannot be understood by people in later generations.

Let’s take Lao Ai and Director Wang as an example. He Yuzhu is not sure about their relatives.

But every month when the old couple receives their salary, Director Wang has to go to the post office to remit more than a dozen payments.

Some of them were their comrades-in-arms. No matter whether they died or returned home disabled, they were friends who had shared life and death together, so the old couple were unwilling to forget those people.

According to Director Wang, the couple are now better off and their children are doing well, so money is of no use to them now.

Some comrades-in-arms' hometowns are not well off, so they take out a portion of their salary and send five or ten yuan to each family to help them with emergencies.

No one forced the couple to do this, and they didn't show off about it.

If it hadn't been for the accidental encounter, He Yuzhu wouldn't have known about this.

It’s similar for other families.

As I said, who doesn’t have a few poor relatives?

Only He Yuzhu and his wife didn't have it.

I don't know if there are any relatives from the He family. But since He Daqing went to Baoding, He Yuzhu has not had any disputes over this.

But Liu Ting's biological father did have one.

But Liu Ting and her mother didn't have very pleasant memories of that place.

So it was cut off. The couple had an income of more than 300 yuan a month, and the "outsiders" who spent the most money on visiting relatives and friends every month turned out to be the Yushui family.

As for the old lady of the Wang family, except during the New Year and other festivals, she refused to ask for anything from the He brothers and sisters. She would be happy as long as Liu Tingyushui came to help her wash the sheets and chat with her.

Liu Ting and her friends never went empty-handed at first, but the old lady was a particular person and only asked them to bring things with them.

The old lady must give some money to Liu Ting and the others in the name of giving it to her children.

It is obvious that he is unwilling to take advantage of the He family.

He Yuzhu also found opportunities to complain about the old lady, but the old lady smiled and replied to He Yuzhu, which made He Yuzhu lose his temper.

According to the old lady, He Yuzhu and his family were filial to her, and she accepted their kindness.

But considering her feelings towards the children, He Yuzhu didn't need to treat her as an outsider.

The old lady patted her pocket and laughed: "Master's wife is rich!
The master's wife is happy to spend the money on the children.

On the contrary, leaving too much behind would not be a good thing for Xiaoer and his wife. ..."

He Yuzhu really couldn't deny that the old lady was really rich.

You know, Wang Furong earned a lot before liberation, and there was no concept of retirement at that time. According to the plan of the old couple, they would save some money while they were still able to do so, and then when they were older, they would take their son back to Sichuan to set up some business.

Therefore, before liberation, Wang Furong must have had more than one or two thousand dollars in savings.

After liberation, public-private partnership took place and Wang Furong retired. Over the years, apart from the medical treatment for the father and son and the marriage of the second son, the Wang family had no major expenses.

Before Wang Furong left, He Yuzhu and Xiao Ren testified at the Wang family that the old man and woman had asked the third senior brother to keep a deposit of 5,000 yuan.

The waiter also knows about this.

However, the waiter was forced by Wang Furong to swear an oath not to reveal it to anyone outside, including Qin Jingru.

According to the old man, this money will be given to his eldest grandson in the future.

This huge sum of money, if we don't take into account the depreciation of money in the future, is enough for Xiaoer's son to start a family and build a career.

The old man and the old woman have done everything they can for their children and grandchildren.

"Brother Zhuzi, this is really convenient!
Isn't this equivalent to the factory covering all your family's food, drink, and toilet needs?" As expected by He Yuzhu, the waiter was really shocked by He Yuzhu's lifestyle.

He Yuzhu shook his head modestly and said with a smile: "That's nothing, you should look up.

A true leader’s family will have a driver, a full-time cook, a full-time nanny, and a family doctor.

I have to carry the vegetables myself!
It's not even close.

But there are also bad places,
As you have just seen, any visit from relatives or friends must be supervised by security.

And this, ..."

He Yuzhu led the waiter to the kitchen and pointed to an iron device on a platform made of cement slabs and said, "You can't burn firewood or coal stoves here, you can only use gas stoves.

This crap doesn’t make delicious food.”

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned on the gas valve and ignited the gas stove with firewood.

This thing is really hard to use now. It’s a cast iron single-burner stove with manual ignition and very poor stability. Most importantly, it doesn’t have a windproof ring.

When the He couple is cooking, someone must be there to watch over them, for fear that the fire might suddenly go out and something might happen.

However, He Yuzhu has already written a development trend research report and submitted it to the Electrical Research Center.

Including piezoelectric ceramic ignition, electronic ignition, flameout protection, and manual knob to adjust the firepower...

He Yuzhu has carefully provided research directions on these.

If you say something else, he might not understand.

But when it comes to gas stoves, I guess there are few people who know more about it than him. (End of this chapter)
