The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

"Yes! Who does He Yuzhu resemble?!" Wang Xia unconsciously pictured Zhang Dabiao in her mind.

Seeing Wang Xia suddenly lost in thought, Hu Ruomu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?!"

"Nothing much! I was just thinking about some work-related things," Wang Xia replied, snapping out of her reverie. She then asked, "Are things not going smoothly for the other subdistrict office production teams?"

Hu Ruomu replied, "Apart from your subdistrict office, the production groups in other subdistrict offices rely on some factories to do odd jobs like making boxes."

Wang Xia said, "When our street office set up the production team, we were thinking of producing things like cardboard boxes or matchboxes. But He Yuzhu disagreed. He said that these things rely on other units. Besides, these things have low barriers to entry; anyone with hands can do it. In the end, there will be too many monks and not enough porridge. Rather than relying on others and being at their mercy, it's better to rely on ourselves."

Hu Ruomu said, "This kid really sees things from afar! If he weren't so young and inexperienced, I would really like to transfer him away from the Public Security Bureau."

Wang Xia smiled and asked, "When will the people coming to learn arrive?! I need to make arrangements in advance!"

Hu Ruomu said, "The specific time hasn't been set yet. We'll let you know when it is. In the next couple of days, take some time to write a reflection on running the production team and submit it." She then instructed, "The more detailed the better. This document needs to be sent to the higher-ups!" As she spoke, Hu Ruomu poked her finger upwards.

Before he knew it, Monday arrived. Early that morning, Jia Dongxu, carrying his luggage, set off with his colleagues who were going to provide support in another city. Presumably out of consideration for their old neighbor relationship, He Daqing and his son Xu Wude came to the factory early to see him off. Jia Dongxu was deeply moved. He even bowed deeply to the three of them.

After seeing Jia Dongxu off, Xu Wude, having nothing to do, went to the canteen to chat with He Daqing. It wasn't until 10:00 AM that Xu Wude returned to his small office in the propaganda department. Meanwhile, He Yuzhu completed the handover procedures and returned to the police station.

Ye Guoliang smiled and looked at He Yuzhu sitting in front of him, saying, "Zhuzi, you're finally back!"

"Uncle Ye, don't look at me like that! I'm scared when you look at me like that! We're so close. Just tell me what you need. I'll do whatever I can!" With that, He Yuzhu took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to Ye Guoliang.

Ye Guoliang took the cigarette and said, "Zhuzi, I've discussed it with the deputy director and the others. You'll still go to the logistics section. All the procurement work for our institute is assigned to you. We have two requirements! First, no mistakes are allowed; second, the comrades must not go hungry. Our funds are limited, but we must ensure the comrades eat well!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem! But I need a hunting license, a Type 56 rifle, and a means of transportation. My bicycle can't go far. I also need a helper."

Ye Guoliang readily agreed, "That's easy! Go back and rest for a couple of days, then come to the office on Thursday. I'll get everything ready for you!"

"Alright! Uncle Ye, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" With that, He Yuzhu took his leave.

After He Yuzhu left, Ye Guoliang picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number. The call connected shortly after. Ye Guoliang said, "Is this the switchboard?! Connect me to Director Zhang Qiang's office."

The operator immediately connected the call. Zhang Qiang said, "Old Ye, what's up with calling me at this hour?!"

Ye Guoliang replied, "Zhu Zi has reported back to the institute. We discussed it and decided to send him to the logistics section to be in charge of procurement!" Ye Guoliang then told him about He Yuzhu's request.

Zhang Qiang thought for a moment and said, "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. I think he's fine on his own. Don't assign anyone else to him. As for transportation, the bureau has a few sidecar motorcycles that are scrapped. But we can piece them together and get one to drive. I'll have someone clean it up and send it to your station later. But let's make it clear beforehand! The transportation will be considered a share of the branch bureau's investment. From now on, half of the meat he purchases must go to the branch bureau."

Ye Guoliang said, "Half of it from the branch office is no problem. However, the branch office must reimburse the fuel costs."

"That's easy! I'll have someone send the sidecar over in a couple of days." After saying that, Zhang Qiang changed the subject and then reminded them, "We just received intelligence that some suspected enemy agents are planning something. You must strengthen your defenses over there. If all else fails, let Zhu Zi go out for a walk every now and then. He might find something unexpected."

Ye Guoliang laughed and said, "Old Zhang, you really don't act until you see the benefit! Alright! I'll talk to Zhuzi about it later." After saying that, Ye Guoliang hung up the phone and pondered Zhang Qiang's words.

After leaving the police station, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the market. After strolling around for a while, he decided to relax by watching a movie, but unexpectedly ran into Song Ran on the way. He Yuzhu greeted her with a smile, "Teacher Song, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."

A surprised smile appeared on Song Ran's face as she asked, "You're He Yushui's brother, right?!" Seeing He Yuzhu nod, Song Ran continued, "I really have to thank you for what happened last time! If it weren't for you, I might already be sold into the mountains by those people. Sometimes I still feel scared thinking about it!"

He Yuzhu said, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it too much." Then he asked, "Teacher Song, where are you going?!"

Song Ran replied, "I just finished the meeting and am heading back to school." Then she asked, "Where are you going?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I've been off these past two days. With nothing to do, I came out for a stroll. I heard there's a new movie coming out, and I'd like to go see it."

Song Ran said, "I haven't seen a movie in a long time either. If I weren't in such a hurry to get back to school today, I would really like to go with you."

He Yuzhu asked, "Teacher Song, are you free this Sunday?!"

"Yes!" Song Ran replied without hesitation. As soon as the words left her mouth, she seemed to realize something, and her face instantly turned red. He Yuzhu said, "Teacher Song, could you do me the honor of going to a movie on Sunday?!"

Song Ran thought for a moment and said, "Okay! But it might not be appropriate for just the two of us!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly added, "And my sister He Yushui, and my childhood friend's sister Xu Xiaoling."

Upon hearing that there were two of her students involved, Song Ran readily agreed: "Okay! Let's meet at the entrance of the Wudaokou Cinema at nine o'clock on Sunday morning."

"Okay! See you again at nine o'clock on Sunday morning!" After saying that, He Yuzhu turned the car around and said, "Old car, Teacher Song!"
