Courtyard House: He Yuzhu Joins the Army, Presses an AK-47 with One Hand

He Yuzhu touched his nose.

I just got back and ran into Bai Ling from "The Glorious Era" and Ding Qiunan from "Man is Iron, Rice is Steel". What a coincidence!

He Yuzhu wondered if Zheng Chaoshan, this big spy, had been arrested at this point in time.

I'll go and see it if I have the chance.

Zheng Chaoshan is so rotten he's practically oozing pus; this son must not be allowed to live.

"Brother, do you know that policewoman and the victim?" He Yushui asked He Yuzhu, full of doubt. He Yuzhu seemed to be saying their names. After He Yuzhu returned from abroad, He Yushui couldn't understand him at all. She felt that the He Yuzhu of the past was like a pool of clear water, which could be seen to the bottom at a glance, but now he was like the vast ocean of stars, which was hard to fathom.

He Yuzhu said, "I only know their names, I wouldn't say I know them."

"Oh." He Yushui nodded.

The bicycle shop is right next door.

He Yuzhu led He Yushui into the crowd.

"I plan to buy a Phoenix brand all-manganese steel bicycle."

"How much."

He Yuzhu and He Yushui wandered around for a while, briefly looked at the bicycles, and then asked the bicycle shop clerk.

There are only a few good bicycle brands: Forever, Flying Pigeon, and Phoenix.

The quality is roughly the same.

He Yuzhu thought the Phoenix logo was quite nice.

Therefore, I chose the Phoenix brand bicycle.

From the perspective of someone who's been there, Forever brand bicycles ultimately fared better, still holding a place in the bicycle market even 60 years later.

"Two million three hundred thousand."

The bicycle shop clerk answered.

"it is good,"

He Yuzhu paid without batting an eye and showed his household registration book.

The shop assistant initially thought He Yuzhu was too young to afford a bicycle and was just wandering around aimlessly. Little did they expect that the kid would actually make a sale.

The shop assistant quickly recovered from her daze, took the household registration booklet and registered He Yuzhu's information. After verification, the shop assistant stamped a voucher.

"Brother, there are five new Phoenix brand 28-inch bicycles in the store, all made of manganese steel. Just pick one."

The shop assistants were very polite to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu randomly picked one.

He let He Yushui sit in the back seat and drove her to the market.

The brand-new Phoenix bicycle is very light to pedal, and its black paint looks like it has been coated with wax, making it shine.

When people on the street saw He Yuzhu riding his bicycle, almost every single one of them turned their heads to look.

A bicycle from 53.

It's not much different from the Porsche of 2024.

He Yuzhu bought a pound of pork, two pounds of beef, some green vegetables, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and some seasonings at the market.

"hey-hey."

"Yushui is in for a treat tonight's dinner!" He Yushui tilted her head, looking incredibly excited.

She clung tightly to He Yuzhu's clothes.

My brother is back.

I never want my brother to leave my side again.

He Yuzhu could feel He Yushui clutching the hem of his clothes.

His younger sister had a tough time during the three years he was away.

Very strong.

"That's He Yuzhu from our courtyard house."

"Hello, Director He."

"Hello, Director He."

"..."

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house with He Yushui on the back. They saw seven or eight middle-aged people, probably in their forties or fifties, standing at the entrance. Yi Zhonghai was standing at the front, smiling as he introduced He Yuzhu to them. They immediately came over to greet He Yuzhu, their eyes almost disappearing from their smiles.

“Yuzhu, this is Kang Feisheng from Dongdajie Subdistrict Office, this is Lin Dakang, deputy director of Dongqu Police Station, and this is Liu Dong, head of the security department of the steel rolling mill…” Yi Zhonghai hurriedly introduced He Yuzhu.

Kang Feisheng from the Dongdajie Subdistrict Office was the first to shake hands with He Yuzhu: "Director He, I've heard a little about your deeds during the Korean War. You're truly a hero among young people. I admire you greatly. If you have any problems in Dongdajie in the future, feel free to come to me."

He Yuzhu looked at Kang Feisheng.

Before he joined the army, he worked for the military control commission.

Now it has become a subdistrict office.

Three years.

Indeed, enough changes could occur.

"Hello, Director Kang."

He Yuzhu shook hands with leaders of all ranks.

All of them greeted him with smiles, so he had no reason to be rude.

More connections mean more paths to take.

Good.

These leaders came specifically to visit He Yuzhu after learning that he had returned to the courtyard house. They were very good at interpersonal relationships and did not bother He Yuzhu for long. They said a few random things and then left.

These are the kinds of people who are suited to be leaders.

They are good at handling things.

Know your limits.

"Rain Column, good, good."

"You've made something of yourself."

"I knew it, you're the most promising person in our courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai praised He Yuzhu.

Or it could be flattery.

He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai indifferently, "Uncle, whether I have a future or not is none of your business, and your words have no effect on me."

He Yuzhu shoved Yi Zhonghai aside.

He took He Yushui's hand and went back.

He Yushui clenched her fists.

I feel so relieved.

Well done, brother.

Yi Zhonghai is the head steward of the courtyard. Without his support, the deaf old lady would have starved He Yushui to death.

Yi Zhonghai, that old lady, and the deaf old woman must be in cahoots.

Although He Yushui was young, she knew the ins and outs of the business perfectly.

After being knocked aside, Yi Zhonghai's face turned red, and he felt extremely humiliated.

what's the situation.

He Yuzhu seemed to have a lot of opinions about the deaf old lady and him.

"What exactly happened? What did I do to upset Sha Zhu? Now Sha Zhu is a senior colonel, so we can only flatter him and not offend him. He could easily remove me, the old man in charge of the courtyard, from office with just one word. I originally thought that I could still benefit from Sha Zhu's return to China, but I ended up getting the short end of the stick." Yi Zhonghai frowned, wondering where he had gone wrong. Otherwise, He Yuzhu wouldn't have acted like this for no reason.

"Humph."

"Trying to steal a chicken only resulted in losing the rice instead."

"You almost starved to death back then, Rainwater."

"You almost killed someone's sister, and you still expect He Yuzhu to pay tribute to you in the future? To support you in your old age?"

"Whimsical."

Liu Haizhong, hiding to one side, witnessed He Yuzhu bumping into Yi Zhonghai, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Happy to hear and see.

Yi Zhonghai said coldly, "You make it sound nice, but why didn't you give He Yushui a single bite to eat? You're an accomplice too!"

He shrank his neck in his bangs.

Momentarily speechless.

"Humph."

"Anyway, He Yuzhu doesn't care about you now."

"But maybe they'll ignore me."

He sneered in his bangs.

Yi Zhonghai bumped into Liu Haizhong's shoulder and left.

At this moment, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and spent about an hour making four dishes and a soup.

Braised beef, stir-fried eggs with green peppers, shredded pork with garlic sauce, stir-fried green vegetables, and beef meatball soup.

With the blessing of "god-level culinary skills", He Yuzhu's dishes are undoubtedly incredibly delicious.

"Ouch."

"elder brother."
