Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 3 Handling
After a long time, or perhaps because of numbness, the body began to change.

His eyes, which were originally a little nearsighted, became extremely bright, his bones became denser, his muscles became stronger, and he felt that he could now beat five fools.

Suddenly he thought of something, looked down, and saw that it was extremely majestic. He nodded with satisfaction. This kidney-strengthening function was truly amazing.

Shen Zhiyu looked at himself in the mirror. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was tall and mighty. He had also grown a little taller than before, and was now over 1.8 meters tall.

Finally, I received the intermediate cooking card, and the cooking methods of the eight major cuisines, various snacks, and folk delicacies suddenly flashed through my mind.

In his previous life, Shen Zhiyu could only cook some simple home-cooked meals, but now he has become a jack of all trades.

Although my level is not high, I know a lot and I know how to do it. As long as I persevere, I will eventually be promoted.

Shen Zhiyu was generally satisfied with the novice gift package. With these three acres of land, he no longer had to worry about natural disasters, and he could also fulfill the original owner's wish to take care of his younger brothers and sisters until they grew up.

After receiving all the rewards, Shen Zhiyu looked at his house and felt not very satisfied. He had previously wanted to save money and not spend it recklessly, but now that he had the system, he had to live comfortably.

The three houses in his family have a total area of ​​more than 70 square meters, which are not fully utilized. He has been thinking about how to renovate them.

It requires both beauty and comfort.

Putting aside his thoughts for the moment, Shen Zhiyu pulled out a brick from the floor and took out an iron box, which was all their belongings.

There were more than 900 yuan in it, including 600 yuan in pension from father Shen Deming and more than 300 yuan saved by mother Ying Ruiqin.

There were also some cloth coupons, food coupons and other tickets, and Shen Zhiyu put them all into the space.

They have a thief saint in their courtyard. Although he is only six years old, there is no guarantee that his master, the undead summoner Jia Zhang, will not come.

With a happy mood, after putting all the important items into the space, it was not far from the end of get off work and get out of class, so Shen Zhiyu started to make a fire and cook.

Shen Zhiyu put aside his thoughts and started cooking for his younger brothers and sisters.

I originally thought that the intermediate cooking skills I had acquired would finally come in handy, but later I discovered that there was only cabbage, potatoes, millet, corn rice, and less than half a bowl of fine noodles at home, and especially for seasoning, there was only coarse salt.

With this configuration, even inviting the imperial chef would be of no help.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Shen Zhiyu also encountered the same problem. In the end, he could only use millet to scoop up a little rice and stir-fry some cabbage and potatoes. Naturally, the taste was not satisfactory.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the children went home one after another.

The three little ones from the Shen family also followed the main group back home.

"Brother, is the meal ready? I'm hungry!" The younger brother Shen Zhihua put down his schoolbag and started to complain about being hungry. I'm not just talking about eating you out of your house, little brat.

"Okay, wash your hands before eating." Shen Zhiyu tapped his brother's hand with chopsticks, wanting to cultivate good habits in him.

The four siblings closed the door and started eating.

"Brother, the food you cook is better than that cooked by mom." The younger brother said while eating without raising his head.

"Brother, I miss dad and mom." The younger sister Shen Zhiwen said in a crying voice.

"Zhiwen, eat well. We will visit our parents' grave in a few days." Shen Zhiyu said and glared at his younger brother Shen Zhihua. Didn't he know that his little one loves to cry?

After Shen Zhiyu coaxed his younger sister Shen Zhiwen, he said to his younger brother: "Zhihua, I will punish you to wash the dishes later. You don't speak well."

Shen Zhiyu's words made his sister burst into laughter. It was obvious that he was happy to see his second brother Shen Zhihua being punished. "Brother, is it done?" asked the eldest sister Shen Zhifang. His father's job must be kept and cannot be lost.

The younger brothers and sisters all looked at Shen Zhiyu. Everyone knew that since their parents had left, he was the head of the family.

"I have finished all other matters. I will arrange the job position when I go through the internship procedures tomorrow." Shen Zhiyu said.

"Brother, an uncle is a level 6 fitter in the steel rolling mill. Why don't you talk to him and find you a better internship position?" suggested the eldest sister Shen Zhifang.

Shen Zhifang's words frightened Shen Zhiyu. Isn't it asking for trouble to use Yi Zhonghai, a hypocrite?

But then I remembered that Jia Dongxu was still alive and well at that time, Yi Zhonghai had not yet started moral blackmail, and his reputation in the compound was still good.

In the original owner's memory, Yi Zhonghai was an honest man who could basically handle conflicts impartially in the compound and was deeply supported by everyone in the compound. Even the original owner's parents had a high opinion of Yi Zhonghai.

However, Shen Zhiyu was still wary of him. You know, before Yue Buqun's castration was exposed, he was almost a perfect man and a humble gentleman in everyone's mind.

Who knows what’s going on with Yi Zhonghai?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyu said to his brothers and sisters, "No, I can go by myself. There's no need to ask for help and owe someone a favor. The three of you should remember that your parents are gone, but your brother is an adult and can support you. Try not to trouble others when you have something to do and don't ask for help. Sometimes favors are harder to repay than money."

"I understand, brother." replied the eldest sister Shen Zhifang.

"Yeah." The one who didn't even raise his head was his younger brother Shen Zhihua, who was just concentrating on eating.

Younger sister Shen Zhiwen didn't say anything, but just nodded. It was obvious that she, like Shen Zhihua, had not yet understood what Shen Zhiyu meant.

After the meal, although his younger brother Shen Zhihua was very reluctant, he still went to clean up the dishes.

Shen Zhiyu urged his sisters to study, especially the eldest sister, who would take the high school entrance exam in a year and a half. It was already the most critical period, and the treatment of technical secondary school and high school was completely different.

The next day, after Shen Zhiyu and his brothers and sisters had dinner, they took the materials to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After presenting the materials at the door, Shen Zhiyu went to the Human Resources Department.

"Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, comrade, I'm here to handle the internship procedures. Who do I need to contact?" Shen Zhiyu asked.

"You need to find our minister, but he has been called away by Director Li. You have to wait here." A middle-aged woman answered.

The aunt was very talkative and found out Shen Zhiyu's information in a short while.

But when she heard that Shen Zhiyu was only 18 years old, she showed a regretful expression, which made Shen Zhiyu find it a little funny.

As they were talking, a middle-aged man less than 1.7 meters tall walked in.

The aunt hurriedly said to Shen Zhiyu: "That's our Minister Yan, go find him."

Shen Zhiyu quickly stood up and walked towards the other party.

"Hello, Minister Yan, my name is Shen Zhiyu, and this is my certificate." Shen Zhiyu said as he handed the internship materials to the other party.

"The principle is that the internship will be next year. Why do you want it now?" Yan Liguo flipped through the materials handed over by Shen Zhiyu.
