The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Second Uncle, look at you! If you hadn't said anything yesterday, I would have thought something serious had happened. So I just brought some food and didn't even prepare a birthday present for you!"

Li Cunyi said:

"It's okay, I didn't specifically ask for gifts. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to prepare gifts."

What did you bring with you?

He Yuzhu said:

"You are my second uncle. Although I have never met you before, this is my first time visiting."

I still know my place in etiquette, so I only brought some food and meat!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Cunyi waved his hand and said to Li Zhiwen:

“Zhiwen, since Zhuzi brought it, just accept it. Zhuzi is your uncle’s successor, not an outsider.”

Because everything was packed in boxes, no one knew what was inside.

I thought the three big boxes contained just some potatoes or something, since these days, even a little bit of potatoes is considered quite a lot.

So nobody paid any attention.

He Yuzhu said:

"How about I help you move it?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Cunyi shook his head:

"No need, let a few brats carry it. Come on, I'll introduce you to some people!"

After saying that, he pulled He Yuzhu into the house. Li Zhiwen had no choice but to accept it since his father wanted it.

Li Cunyi looked at the people in the room and said:

"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, this is eldest brother's apprentice, He Yuzhu!"

Then Li Cunyi said to He Yuzhu:

"You can just call him Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt!"

He Yuzhu took care of several people:

"He Yuzhu greets his third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's greeting, the group knew that this was someone approved by their second and eldest brothers.

They all responded:

"No need to be polite!"

Li Cunyi said to He Yuzhu:

"On my birthday, we've gathered everyone together so you can come and get to know us."

"You won't have such a good opportunity again!"

Just then, the fourth brother, Li Cunzhi, asked:

"You are He Yuzhu, the director of the Seventh Bureau, He Yuzhu?"

Upon hearing Li Cunzhi's words, He Yuzhu realized that he should call this person "Fourth Uncle".

Then nodded:

"Yes, Fourth Uncle!"

Upon hearing Li Cunzhi's words, the fifth brother, Li Cunxin, said:

"What? Zhu Zi, you're the bureau chief now?"

You should know that Li Cunxin, the fifth brother, is the director of the Public Security Bureau, while He Yuzhu is only a few years old.

Then you can become the bureau chief.

The third son, Li Cunli, asked:

"Zhu Zi, how old are you this year?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Uncle, I'm 24 this year!"

Everyone was shocked, never expecting that He Yuzhu would become the bureau chief at such a young age.

He held the same position as Lao Wu, who had participated in the war and earned many merits, which is why he was transferred to become the director of the Public Security Bureau.

The second son, Li Cunyi, said:

"I didn't expect you to be a bureau chief now. You gave up that level four engineer job?"

Before He Yuzhu could speak, the fourth brother, Li Cunzhi, said:

"Brother, that's all ancient history. He Yuzhu is now a first-class engineer and director."

Hearing what the fourth brother said, the others were even more shocked, let alone a first-level engineer.

He is a Level 9 engineer, a level that many people never reach in their entire lives, yet He Yuzhu is already a Level 1 engineer at such a young age.

You should know that in this country, top-level engineers are extremely rare.

The second son, Li Cunyi, asked:

"Fourth brother, do you know Zhu Zi?"

Li Cunzhi nodded:

"How could I not know? The pillar is a key protected object in our unit."

However, you are not qualified to know his identity, as it involves confidentiality.

I can't go into the specifics, but you just need to know that he is the director of the Seventh Bureau and a first-class engineer.

As for the rest, I can't tell you!

Just as Li Cunzhi finished speaking, Li Zhiwen ran in and said:

"Dad, something terrible has happened!"

Li Cunyi looked at his son and then scolded him:

"Zhiwen, how old are you? You're still so impulsive!"

Li Zhiwen said:

"He Yuzhu just brought over a lot of food!"

Li Cunyi nodded:

"I know, didn't Master just say that?"

Li Zhiwen said:

"But they delivered chicken, duck, fish, pork, mutton, and beef!"

Upon hearing Li Zhiwen's words, the group stood up. It should be noted that although they held high positions, in this day and age, it was impossible for them to obtain much meat.

Li Cunyi saw the three large boxes; they were quite big.

Chapter 191: The Shock of the Li Family

Upon hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Li Cunyi looked at He Yuzhu, who then said:

"I don't know what you're lacking. I used to be a cook, so I have some connections to get meat, but I can't get more than that, so I only got a little bit."

Second Uncle, please don't find this offensive!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Cunyi thought of investigating He Yuzhu, who used to be the head chef of Hongbinlou Restaurant.

Therefore, they still have connections when it comes to purchasing ingredients.

Everyone else looked at Li Cunyi with surprise and delight. Li Cunyi said:

"Originally, I called everyone back today just to have a simple meal, but now that Zhuzi has brought the ingredients, let's take this opportunity to improve our meals!"

Upon hearing Li Cunyi's words, Li Zhiwen and the others were very excited.

Then say:

"Dad, then I'll have the kitchen handle it!"

Li Cunyi nodded, then turned around and took a few steps before Li Zhiwen returned. Looking at the returning Li Zhiwen, Li Cunyi asked:

"What else do you want?"

Li Zhiwen said embarrassedly:

"Dad, besides meat, there's also brown sugar, milk powder, and honey. Look?"

Li Cunyi looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "You can get meat supplies, but what about the rest?"

He Yuzhu touched his nose and then said:

"Second Uncle, this is what I saved for my child before. Now that the child is older and can eat solid food, I brought it to you. Even if I don't need it myself, giving it to someone else is a favor, right? After all, at this time of year, even adults are not enough to eat, let alone babies!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Cunyi nodded:
