The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Page 208

Chen Xueru shook her head, then asked:

"I've noticed that all the food stalls are closed now. What's going on?"

He Yuzhu said:

"It's all because of the government-funded meals in the big and small canteens!"

Chen Xueru asked curiously:

"what happened?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Now everything is purchased collectively, and they won't sell things to individuals anymore. If you want to eat, you have to have your own collective canteen!"

Chen Xueru asked anxiously:

"Then what will we eat from now on?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"I'm here for you, aren't I? Besides, I'm not in a hurry, so why are you?"

"How could I let you go hungry? Don't worry, I have connections!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru was no longer worried, but she still said:

"Husband, if you don't have enough money to buy things, just tell me. I still have some money on hand!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Don't worry, it's enough. I may not have as much money as you, but it's still quite a bit, enough for me. Don't worry!"

Starting in 1950, He Yuzhu began hoarding supplies, and now he has enough to feed everyone until the 21st century.

Therefore, He Yuzhu had no worries about food at all.

Although there is no space for planting, there is an unlimited amount of storage space.

Therefore, He Yuzhu had stored a great deal of supplies, so there was nothing to worry about.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru said:

"Oh, that's good!"

Chen Xueru didn't care where He Yuzhu got it from, since everyone had their own secrets.

As his woman, it's good enough that she has something to eat. Why bother asking so many questions? Besides, even if she knew, she couldn't help him with anything.

So asking was pointless. After the two drove home, Chen Xueru gave He Yuzhu her share of the profits and then went to comfort the children.

He Yuzhu knew that if he didn't accept the offer, Chen Xueru would probably be upset.

After all, Yang Xiaodi gave all of her salary to herself.

After seeing Chen Xueru go to comfort the child, He Yuzhu, noticing there was still some time left, said:

"I'm going to see Xiaodi's parents, I'll be right back!"

Chen Xueru responded:

"understood!"

He Yuzhu put some meat in the garage. Not much, but enough for a day or two, since taking too much at this time of year would make it spoil easily.

It won't go bad no matter how long it's left in its own space.

He Yuzhu drove to Yang Zhili's house, but his father-in-law, Yang Zhili, was not home; only his mother-in-law, Hu Shuzhi, was there.

Seeing He Yuzhu arrive, Hu Shuzhi smiled at him and said:

"The pillar is here!"

The two elders highly recognized He Yuzhu's abilities.

He Yuzhu took the bag, put it in the kitchen, and said to Hu Shuzhi:

"Mom, this is some food I brought for you. Does your workplace have a large cafeteria now?"

Hu Shuzhi nodded:

"Yes, but you don't need to send us meat anymore. We're eating quite well in the cafeteria."

No more cooking at home for three meals a day, just eating at the cafeteria!

He Yuzhu said:

"I know the food in the cafeteria quite well. If you're craving it, you can have a treat."

Let me know if you run out of meat!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Hu Shuzhi knew that her son-in-law was capable, and that there was a nationwide shortage of meat.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu always managed to get meat. No matter how he got it, it was all out of filial piety.

Therefore, Hu Shuzhi did not refuse.

After talking with He Yuzhu for a while, He Yuzhu left.

The next day, He Yuzhu returned to the Seventh Division. Upon arriving, Gu Zhiqi found He Yuzhu and said to him:

"Zhu Zi, you're back! I have something to tell you!"

He Yuzhu asked curiously:

"whats the matter?"

Gu Zhiqi asked:

"You can develop cars and tanks, can't you do airplanes?"

He Yuzhu was taken aback, then said:

"Give me time, I can, but if I research the aircraft, the previous engine will be useless."

The engine needs to be re-examined, and the aircraft's engine needs to be more powerful.

Moreover, it requires a lot of manpower; I can't do it all by myself!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi was very excited:

"Okay, as long as you can get it done, just tell me what you need and I'll get it all for you!"

Upon hearing Gu Zhi Qiu's words, He Yu Zhu said:

“Our place is too small. Even if we develop the entire 403 area, it won’t be enough to manufacture aircraft.”

Here's what we'll do: I'll give you the blueprints in a few days. You can find someone to build the runway, airport, and laboratory according to the blueprints. Most importantly, there are so many different parts.

It will take at least three to five years to see any results!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi asked excitedly:

"We'll have our own planes in three to five years?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, I'm talking about fighter jets, not modern airplanes. Modern airplanes are too outdated."

Even if we manufacture them ourselves, they're useless; they're all technologies discarded by Western countries!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi was very excited:

"Okay, okay, as long as you can build an advanced aircraft, just tell me what you need, and I'll get you everything I can get my hands on."

Even if I can't get it myself, I'll find a way to get it for you!

Looking at the excited Gu Zhiqi, He Yuzhu thought to himself that the country indeed lacked such technology, and then nodded:

"Alright, since you put it that way, then I'll start researching airplanes."

After completing the preliminary work, I will design the other parts.
