Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 82 Two Years (4K Subscription Request)
When Chen Lanxiang saw that she wanted to learn, she taught her seriously. After all, she had already taught He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, so she had some experience.

Wang Cuiping stayed in the courtyard for nearly two months before being sent away by Lao Zhao.

Her relationship with the He family is getting better and better. If it weren't for the mission, she really wouldn't want to leave.

When she left, she didn't tell anyone and only left a letter saying that she would come back to see Chen Lanxiang and the others when she had the chance, and that she also wanted to eat the mutton noodles made by Zhuzi.

After he left, the courtyard returned to normal, as if this person had never been there.

In the middle of the year, Zhao Cuifeng gave birth to a girl, and Xu Fugui originally named her Xu Zhaodi.

Xu Damao was so angry that he thought his status in the family would be in jeopardy if he had another younger brother.

It didn't sound good anyway, so it was finally changed to Xu Xiaohui, and Xu Damao stopped making trouble.

Two years later, in July 1947, He Yuzhu graduated from junior high school. He had done very well in the junior high school entrance exam.

However, to skip grades after entering, one has to spend money and use connections. He Daqing got some rare things from the secret room and gave them as gifts to use connections. Now he doesn't have to look for Xu Fugui anymore. He goes out to host banquets diligently and gets to know some more people.

He Yuzhu performed very well in the graduation examination and successfully obtained his diploma.

Xu Damao was just about to enter the third grade, and after He Yuzhu entered junior high school, he could basically only see him during holidays. They were no longer in the same school. Whenever they met, He Yuzhu would ask him about his studies, which was so depressing.

At this time, He Yuzhu's height had grown to 1.75 meters. Who would believe him if he said he was twelve years old? The panel also had some changes.

Mission: [Not refreshed]

He basically wiped out all the spies and traitors left over from the days of the old city, and even the Lixingshe members were severely harmed by him.

Zhao Fengnian was rescued by him several times, of course secretly, and there was no system task.

There are more and more soldiers in the city, and the price of food is rising rapidly. The secret room in Lao He's house is basically never empty, and the money at home, except for emergency money, is basically used to buy things.

Even the old lady's secret room in the backyard was expanded a little, and another one was dug at Old Xu's house, which was made by Xu Fugui himself.

He also saw that the wealthy families outside had them. He didn't have that much money, but he could always hide food.

Now that he can't go to school, He Daqing is worried again. What should he do at home all day?

Jia Dongxu from the front yard graduated from elementary school this year and has already started working as an apprentice in a factory. Jia Laonian paid Xu Fugui to help him.

As for how much it cost, only the two of them knew. Anyway, Xu Fugui told He Daqing privately that he would never help Jia Laonian again because he was too stingy.

He Daqing simply said, "Do you think his family is rich?"

Xu Fugui remained silent.

Jia Zhang was so happy that Jia Dongxu had a job that she showed off to everyone she met. Now there were two earning people in her family.

People who know her say behind her back that you are not just making money, but all the money you earn goes into filling your bottomless pit.

Jia Zhang wanted to set up a banquet, but was directly rejected by Jia Laonian. Where could he get the money? Jia Dongxu, as an apprentice, only earned one and a half dollars a month, which was just enough for his own food. The young boy could eat well.

His father wanted to find a good master for him, but Yi Zhonghai used some tricks, but no one was willing to accept him as his master, leaving only Yi Zhonghai as the great master.

Jia Laonian doesn't want his son to become Yi Zhonghai's disciple, so Jia Dongxu is now doing odd jobs.

Then all the technicians in the front yard moved away, including Lao Zhao.

One day when He Daqing came home from work, he mentioned that Lao Zhao no longer worked in the factory and no one knew where he had gone.

Only He Yuzhu knew that Lao Zhao must have been exposed and had escaped from the city.

Then He Daqing took He Yuzhu to the steel rolling mill. As a result, within a few months, all the things he had were taken away by his son. He had no ingredients to make except Tan family dishes, and he could not practice his skills.

The next New Year, He Daqing asked his son what skill he wanted to learn. In fact, Xu Fugui also came to the He family to ask if He Yuzhu was willing to learn to project movies with him. Xu Fugui is now a projectionist, so he graduated from high school after all, and is considered an educated person.

He Daqing doesn't think so. He hasn't mastered the cooking skills yet and can't give up halfway. Besides, the projectionist Xu Damao will have to learn it when he grows up. He is also his apprentice. He doesn't want the two brothers to compete for the same job.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't want to go to any class. How old was he? Wasn't it enough to go to the class in his previous life? Going to work at the age of 12, don't be ridiculous.

But to learn cooking, one has to do odd jobs for three years and serve for two years. He Yuzhu doesn't want to do odd jobs. He wants to learn the craft and show his filial piety to his master. He has the money, but he doesn't want to waste his time.

So he told his father his idea, and He Daqing scratched his head when he heard it.

Why not go for it when you ask for this? You might as well tell others that you don’t want to work, you just want to learn a skill.

In fact, there is another reason that makes it difficult for He Daqing, that is, whether those restaurants dare to accept his son. He is quite famous in Beijing. He has cooked for Xiao Ruizi. It cannot be said of all restaurants, but the big restaurants must know about it.

When he left Fengze Garden, there were other restaurants that invited him, but after he explained the reason, the owners of those restaurants immediately avoided him.

This is also why he happily joined the steel rolling mill. As for those who are not afraid of hard work, there are still some ordinary people who don't understand these things at all.

After thinking about it, He Daqing finally thought of a place. He said to He Yuzhu directly: "There may not be such a good place in Sijiu City. Why don't you go to Tianjin?"

"Going to Tianjin? There's one in Tianjin?"

"I have a senior brother in Huifanglou. Whether you can learn how to cook halal dishes depends on you." He Daqing said a little depressed.

"Halal food?" He Yuzhu thought about it and decided that it was okay. He could go to Tianjin to have a look.

After the father and son had discussed it, they told Chen Lanxiang, but Chen Lanxiang was reluctant to let her son go far away.

The two-year-old He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu's calf and cried, "Brother, Yushui won't let you go."

"You little greedy cat, are you afraid that no one will give you delicious food after I leave?" He Yuzhu squatted down and picked up He Yushui with one hand, pinched her chubby face, and patted her round belly.

"Hmph, I don't want to play with my brother anymore." He Yushui blushed and said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, don't come begging me later."

"Then I'll go find Brother Damao." He Yushui bit her finger, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying.

"Hahahaha, then you go find him." He Yuzhu laughed.

"Then let me down." He Yushui began to push He Yuzhu with her little hands.

"Are you going now?" He Yuzhu groped in his pocket, took out a piece of candy and held it in front of He Yushui.

"No, no, give me candy, give me candy." He Yushui stretched out his hand to grab it, but how could he grab it?

As soon as she cried "Wow", the candy was in her mouth.

"Okay, Zhuzi, just tease your sister. She never stops making peace." Chen Lanxiang was unhappy.

"Sweet" He Yushui burst into laughter.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your teeth from the sweetness?" Chen Lanxiang said unhappily.

"Hehehe, mom, sugar, sweet." He Yushui continued laughing.

Chen Lanxiang was helpless. "Zhu Zi, take your sister and go play. I'll talk to your dad."

"it is good."

"Go find Xiaohui, go find Xiaohui." He Yushui pointed in the direction of the backyard as he walked out of the house.

He Yushui and Xu Xiaohui, two little girls, one can speak and the other can speak clearly, but they can play together and chatter happily every day.

When watching the two of them, Xu Damao is enough on his own. When they make a fuss, he will give them some snacks or candies and they will behave themselves immediately.

After the brother and sister left, Chen Lanxiang asked, "He Daqing, what are you thinking? Sending my son to Tianjin."

"I have no choice!" He Daqing said helplessly.

"Why do you have to do this? The money you earn is enough for our family to spend."

"So you really plan to let your son stay at home every day and cook for you, the old and the young?"

"Is it not possible? The pillar is only so big."

"Before, you asked him to sell buns and you refused. Now you ask him to be an apprentice and you still refuse. So what do you want your son to do?"

"He's only twelve. What do you want him to do? What were you doing when you were twelve?"

"How can it be the same? When I was twelve, I went out with my father, your grandfather, to prepare banquets for others."

"Then you brought him along when you prepared a feast, but you despised him, and after teaching him for a few months you wanted to send your son to Tianjin."

"Does that mean I dislike him? One time I had diarrhea, and your son cooked a big pot of food. When we paid the bill, do you know what your son said?"

"My son saved you, and you're still not happy?"

"That's my son too. That brat said that we had two chefs at home, but they only paid one. It would be better for me to bring a kitchen helper. He doesn't think much of the kitchen helper's job."

"That's not wrong." Chen Lanxiang nodded in agreement.

"Then why are you blaming me? Why don't you say that your son is too capable and I can't teach him anymore? There's no place for him to learn in the Forbidden City. If I don't send him to Tianjin, where should I send him? Should I send him to the Magic City or the Mountain City?"

"Okay, okay, you're right. Are you really not capable of teaching me anymore?"

"I really can't teach you anymore." Although He Daqing was reluctant to admit it, that was the fact.

"It's only been a few months, and you've already learned all those skills?"

"Even after learning Tan's cuisine, I thought he would have a chance to practice Tan's cuisine after he went to Tianjin, which is close to the sea. It would be a shame to lose it."

"Do we know anyone in Tianjin?"

"One of my senior brothers, who originally learned Shandong cuisine, later felt that Shandong cuisine was too crowded, so he started learning halal cuisine."

"Is it reliable? Have I seen it?"

"There should be no problem with a master who kowtows to you. You haven't seen him before. This is the master that our old man found for me before I met you."

"Oh, let me think about it! After all, there are only twelve pillars."

"Think about it, your son is quite capable, but without a proper master, it will be difficult for him to survive in this industry."

"I see. Did Zhuzi agree to it himself?"

"He agreed. He said he wanted to go out and see the world. He has never left the city in his life."

When He Yuzhu came back holding He Yushui, Chen Lanxiang asked her son to hand her daughter over to He Daqing, and then took He Yuzhu aside to start questioning him.

"Zhu Zi, have you made up your mind?"

"Mom, think about it, if you want to learn a skill, it doesn't matter where you learn it."

"But I'm still worried. You haven't left me for more than ten years."

"I can protect myself." He Yuzhu immediately assured.

"Bullshit, those people outside are all carrying guns. What can you protect with just your few tricks?" Chen Lanxiang's eyes reddened as she looked at her son who was more than half a head taller than her.

"Mom, I've already graduated from high school, so I'm considered half an adult now."

"What do you mean by counting? You're only twelve, woooo!"

"Mom, with my ability, maybe I can be back in half a year." He Yuzhu stepped forward and hugged her mother to comfort her.

"Mom, isn't this worrying? Wuuuu." Chen Lanxiang was obviously still emotional.

"Then I can't stay at home all day long. How long will I have to stay?" He Yuzhu said again.

"Our family can afford to support you!"

"But I can't always rely on my dad to support me. I have to save some money for myself." He Yuzhu said.

"Why, you little brat, you're already thinking about saving money to get married?"

"No, no, I'm still young, still young!"

"Then you must promise Mom to take care of yourself when you go out and not cause any trouble. Outside is not like home."

"That's for sure. I haven't caused any trouble in Fortress City."

It took a long time to coax my mother, and then He Yuzhu was called away by He Daqing again. He Daqing wanted to purchase some goods before he left. Who knew how long he would be gone, so He Yuzhu did not refuse.

The next day, after He Daqing finished entertaining Boss Lou, he specifically looked for Boss Lou. He wanted to ask Boss Lou to help him get a pass and a travel permit, and preferably to buy him a train ticket. He said that he would cook for free when he went to Lou's house in the future.

This was nothing to Boss Lou, but he was willing to do He Daqing a favor and let him work hard in the factory.

After receiving a positive answer, He Daqing went home happily.

Chen Lanxiang went to tell the old lady about He Yuzhu's matter early in the morning. She wanted to ask the old lady whether she should go, after all, the old lady had more experience.

The old lady only replied to her: "If a young eagle does not experience wind and rain, it will never be able to soar into the sky!"

Chen Lanxiang understood. She knew very well that her son was actually capable. Otherwise, how could he buy so many things just relying on the relationship of an obstetrician and gynecologist?
It's just a lie, but it's different when you go outside.

"Aren't you also sent to the old city of Beijing when you were as big as a pillar?" The old lady added after seeing Chen Lanxiang like this.

"Can that be the same?"

"Didn't Daqing say that his senior brother was here?"

"I've never met his senior brother, and I've never heard him talk about him before."

"By the way, isn't the Wang family girl in Tianjin? Do you have her address?"

"No, we can't find Zhao Fengnian who lives outside either." Chen Lanxiang said.

"Oh!" The old lady sighed. She didn't know whether Wang Cuiping was really going to get married, but Zhao Fengnian should be from there, otherwise he would not have disappeared. She was not optimistic about Wang Cuiping's situation in Tianjin.

"Then let Zhuzi go?"

"Go, go now while it's still safe outside."

"I know, old lady!"
