Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

The little cotton-padded jacket I’ve kept for 20 years is still leaking.

Shouldn't the daughter rush into her father's arms when they reunited? Why did she rush into He's arms?

But I am your biological father!

Elena cried for a while, then said: "Are you hurt? I was so worried. It's been such a long time since you came back. I thought..."

"Silly girl, I'm fine. The main reason is that we didn't have any definite information before, and we didn't know where he was imprisoned. We could only start the rescue after the verdict."

"We'll talk about our affairs later. You should comfort your father first!"

After all, it was too embarrassing for her and his daughter to hug and kiss each other in front of Daniel.

Only then did Elena reluctantly leave He Yuzhu's arms and throw herself into her father's arms, crying loudly.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen, boiled water for a bath, and changed into new clothes. When he came out, both the father and daughter had finished crying and were sitting there talking.

"You guys chat, I'm going back first."

He Yuzhu really missed home. He had been away for more than two months, and the life was so exciting. With an extra burden on his way back, his life became much more difficult.

"Well, you go back first, we'll talk later."

He Yuzhu went out and hailed a rickshaw, and then finally returned home. When he opened the door, he saw Xiu'er walking slowly in the yard. He Yuzhu was very surprised. Before he left, she could not walk steadily, but in the blink of an eye she could run around the yard.

"Xiu'er, Dad is back."

He Yuzhu dropped the package in his hand, called his daughter, and walked forward to hug her.

When Xiu'er turned around, she screamed in fear and quickly ran two steps into the arms of Xu Huizhen beside her.

"You are really something. You scare your daughter as soon as you come back."

Xu Huizhen watched her husband return safely. She had a lot of things in her heart but didn't know how to say them. She just complained like this and then patted her baby daughter gently to coax her.

He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed. He thought his daughter was over one year old and should not be afraid of him anymore. However, he would have thought that she would be scared again just like last time.

After Xu Huizhen complained, she handed her daughter in her arms to him and coaxed her for a few words, and Xiu'er began to recognize her father again.

Of course He Yuzhu would not tell the truth. He made up a story and covered up the Moscow incident.

I rested at home for a day, then started running around and comforted a few women. It was already three days later.

He Yuzhu had just arrived at the neighborhood committee. As soon as he sat down in the room, Tian Zao scolded him, "You little bastard, you just remembered to come to my place?"

"Sister, you don't want to see me, how about I go back now?" He Yuzhu said as he was about to stand up, but Tian Zao pulled him by the sleeve and made him sit back down.

"You little brat, I haven't seen you for two months. Your temper has worsened."

Tian Zao asked, "What good stuff did you get this time?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Do you want a machine tool?"

"Machine tool? What machine tool?"

"Yes, this time we got more than 20 machine tools, including lathes, boring machines, milling machines, planers, grinders and drilling machines."

Tian Zao was very surprised and asked, "You got so many?"

He Yuzhu said: "This time it was a coincidence. Although they are all second-hand, they can still be used. The longest time is no more than 15 years, and the shortest is only 5 years."

Machine tools are equipment that have an extremely long service life. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, some machinery factories were still using various second-hand equipment produced before liberation.

In addition, there are many companies that specialize in importing second-hand machine tools and other mechanical equipment from abroad. Although the precision cannot meet the original design requirements, they can produce parts with slightly less demanding requirements.

The machine tools that He Yuzhu obtained this time are only 15 years old at most. He can build a machinery factory on the street to produce various machine parts.

At present, the country does not have the ability to produce machine tools. Although Mao Xiongguo's experts are assisting in the construction of 18 machine tool manufacturers, which are known as the Eighteen Arhats in later generations, they have not yet started production, and it will take two years for their products to be put on the market.

Moreover, their products are mainly allocated to other large enterprises and are never sold to local departments such as streets.

Tian Zao said: "It's still relatively new. You have made a great contribution to the street this time."

Although they were all ordinary machine tools and would be common junk in later generations, they were already the most advanced mechanical equipment at that point in time.

Only with machine tools can other parts and equipment be manufactured. Machine tools are known as the mother chicken of industry because only with them can production lines be created.

After chatting with Tian Zao for a while, the two went to the street compound together to report to Li Hongying.

"Zhu Zi, you have really made a great contribution this time. I told you that you are still suitable for street work. I will allocate a piece of land next to the glass bottle factory for you to build a machinery factory."

"Sister, what do you mean by drawing a piece of land for me? I provided the machine tool, and you still want me to work hard later!"

"The more capable you are, the more work you should do. The subdistrict really can't spare enough cadres. I'll arrange for people to build the factory and office buildings first, and then we can open the factory after your equipment is shipped in."

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If all the previous preparatory work was handed over to him, how would he have time to go south?

If the preparatory work is undertaken by the street level company, I only need to get the machines and tools over, and the daily management will definitely be handed over to others. At most, I will just hold a position there.

After saying this, He Yuzhu said goodbye and went back to work. He moved quickly on the street. The next day he started leveling the land nearby and purchasing some bricks, stones and other raw materials in preparation for building a factory.

A machinery factory can only be placed outside the city. For the convenience of management, it is placed next to the cannery, so there is no need to run back and forth.

However, it will take some time to build the house, so He Yuzhu could deal with Elena's affairs first.

His father Daniel came here illegally, and he was a foreigner, which would be an eyesore in the capital.

He Yuzhu came to the yard where they lived. After saying hello, Daniel went back to the room, leaving time and space for Elena.

Elena complained, "You haven't come to see me these days."

After saying that, he sat in He Yuzhu's arms.

"I always feel uncomfortable and weird when your father is here."

Although he was Daniel's savior, if he was also in the yard, it would be okay for him to come over and be with his daughter, but he always felt a little strange in his heart.

Elena smiled and said, "Of course my father agrees with us. He said that it's no problem even if I give birth to a child for you. Zhuzi, I also want to give birth to a child for you."

After seeing Chen Xueru giving birth to the lovely baby, Elena had the same idea. She could not live without He Yuzhu in this life. What's more, he rescued her father from prison. What else did she need to keep?

I will belong to He Yuzhu for the rest of my life.

He Yuzhu said: "This is easy to talk about. I came here today just to discuss future plans with you."

"What's the plan?"

"In the future."

"Then should we first..."

Elena blushed, but she was too embarrassed to say that. She just stood up, took He Yuzhu's hand, and pulled him into her boudoir.

Later, Elena asked, "Now you can tell me what your plans are."

He Yuzhu said: "Your father can't live here for a long time, and you have lost your job."

Elena was a translator here before, mainly translating documents for 156 projects.

After her father got into trouble, Maozi notified the country that she was directly dismissed from her translation position. Later, He Yuzhu arranged for her to live in this yard. She is now a missing person.

"Yeah, what do you say we should do?"

He Yuzhu said: "I plan to send you to Xiangjiang?"

"Hong Kong?" Elena asked doubtfully, "Why are you going there?"

"You can't stay in the country anymore. You can't go to America!"

Elena thought about it and realized that since the capital had not yet dealt with her, it would be better for her and her father to leave early.

Thinking that she would soon be separated from He Yuzhu, Elena quickly turned around and hugged him and said, "You are right, we are going to separate, but I can't bear to leave you."

He Yuzhu said, "I can't bear to let you go either, but you have to leave the capital. I've already made up my mind to send you to Gusu first, and then someone there will arrange for you to go to Hong Kong."

Ye Qingmo's uncle went to Hong Kong before liberation, and later established himself there and also engaged in the cloth business.

The Dacron fabric that Ye Qingmo wholesaled to He Yuzhu was sent by her cousin from Hong Kong.

He Yuzhu had this plan before going to Moscow, but he didn't tell Elena at that time.

This time they exchanged gold and US dollars in preparation for their trip to Hong Kong.

"I only have one small request."

"what?"

"You have to make me pregnant before then. This way, when I have your baby, you will think of me in the future. It would be best if you can come to Hong Kong to see me often."

As Elena spoke, tears began to fall. She then turned over, sat on He Yuzhu's body, and bent down to kiss him.

He Yuzhu did not leave today. The next morning, he took the letter of introduction to the train station and bought three sleeper tickets heading south. The three of them boarded the train.

Elena looked at the train station that was gradually moving away, feeling a little sad. She didn't know if she would be able to come back again this time.

"Finally left."

Although Daniel didn't mind their intimate actions, He Yuzhu still couldn't move freely with him around.

When they got off the train and passed the exit, they saw Ye Qingmo in the crowd. At that time, Ye Qingmo's belly was not yet swollen, but He Yuzhu still asked: "Why did you come to pick us up in person?"

Ye Qingmo said: "I'm not here to pick you up, I'm here to pick up my sister."

After saying that, he pushed He Yuzhu aside, then walked up to and gave the somewhat bewildered Elena a warm hug.

They had met twice before, but they were just acquaintances. Moreover, they didn't know about what happened between Elena and He Yuzhu at that time, so they didn't know how to face Ye Qingmo.

He Yuzhu touched his nose and thought that it was enough to just listen to what the woman said. Before she got pregnant, Ye Qingmo was willing to agree to anything.

But when she became pregnant, He Yuzhu became an insignificant character.

Of course, the two were just joking. They couldn't really hug each other at the exit. They were not so open at that time. Holding hands on the street would attract other people's attention.

The group got in the car and arrived at a manor outside Gusu City. Ye Qingmo arranged for the father and daughter to rest, and then took He Yuzhu into the bedroom.

Ye Qingmo has not been pregnant for three months yet, and it is still in the dangerous period. The two can only hug each other tenderly.

Then he asked, "Are you saying that you want to send both of them to Hong Kong?"

"Yes, they definitely can't stay in the country. What if Mao Xiongguo sends an official letter requesting their extradition?"

"That's true. Without an identity card, we can't disguise ourselves when we go out. After all, we are all foreigners, and it's too obvious. There happens to be a ship leaving for Xiangjiang River tomorrow, so we can just arrange for them to go with the ship."

"Well, it seems I arrived just in time."

In fact, after receiving the call, she stayed on the ship that was supposed to leave yesterday for two days. Although she was not the legal wife, she did not want to see other women around He Yuzhu.

Send her away quickly to avoid being an eyesore.

At night, he slipped into Elena's room to rest. After plowing the land and peeling the seeds, He Yuzhu mentioned that he would send them away the next day.

"You're in such a hurry, does that mean I'm leaving tomorrow?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "You can't delay any longer, to avoid any accidents."

"But I want to have your child!" Elena felt a little sad. She touched her belly and said worriedly, "Do you think your son is in here?"

He Yuzhu's tone was firm: "Yes, you can definitely get pregnant."

In the afternoon, Elena and Daniel boarded the ship. He Yuzhu took out some gold and US dollars and asked them to keep them safe. He also told them to buy a property and settle down in Hong Kong after arriving.

"Are you reluctant to part with your foreign concubine?" Ye Qingmo asked.

"Look at what you said, are you jealous? Why do I smell something sour?" He Yuzhu asked back.

"No, who's jealous of you?"

He Yuzhu coaxed her for a few words and didn't mention Elena anymore. After all, she was going to Hong Kong and they wouldn't see her for a year, so there was no need to be jealous.

Although Ye Qingmo was pregnant, He Yuzhu still had many ways to make her happy. He stayed with her in Gusu City for a few days before boarding the train heading north.

When I returned to Beijing and went to work this time, the factory building of the machinery factory had been repaired.

He Yuzhu went out for a walk, put the machine tools and some other machines in the warehouse, and then arranged for someone to drive them back.

Watching the workers transport the machine tools into the factory, Li Hongying was very satisfied. This time, not only did she get a batch of machines, but she also got so many machine tools, so she could produce machinery.

He Yuzhu asked: "Have you found a qualified lathe worker?"

Li Hongying was a little embarrassed when asked this question: "I was just about to discuss this matter with you. Do you think you should find the worker?"

"What? You want me to do this, too?"
