Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

But this is a bit difficult. Lu Xiaomi has a high social status and a wealthy family. It can be said that she lacks nothing.

If the machinery factory had not been upgraded this time, she would not have come here to be his secretary.

I will still stay on the street and work peacefully, and have nothing to do with me.

The social status and money that had been very attractive to the little girl before were no longer effective in front of Lu Xiaomi.

There seemed to be no way out for the moment, but He Yuzhu was just angry for a moment. After thinking about it, he shook his head and continued to move forward.

The dinner was held in a restaurant next to a large courtyard on the street. There were some other units nearby and the business was booming.

After getting off the car, Lu Xiaomi led them to a private room. When they opened the door and came in, Secretary Lu had already stood up to greet them.

He held He Yuzhu's hand, cordially asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "I have wanted to invite Director He to dinner for a long time, but I never had the chance."

"Secretary Lu is too polite."

Lu Xiaomi made some tea and placed it in front of the three of them, then smiled and sat next to her father.

The cold and hot dishes were served quickly, and a bottle of Fenjiu was opened, and the three of them started eating and drinking.

At that time, Moutai was not the best wine. Although it was one of the eight famous wines, ordinary people still recognized Fenjiu and Wuliangye.

The two of them didn't have anything serious to talk about. They just drank and chatted about some interesting things on the street. After eating and drinking for a while, Secretary Lu changed the topic and talked about his precious daughter.

Several boys in the family are too naughty, and this little one is the only one who is well-loved and pampered. She has become a little spoiled. She hopes He Yuzhu will consider her and not argue with her daughter.

Lv Xiaomi couldn't stand it anymore and said coquettishly, "Dad, what are you talking about? How am I spoiled?"

"Look, I have spoiled my daughter." Secretary Lu laughed loudly.

Lu Xiaomi stamped her feet in shame, more like a student who had not yet graduated.

He Yuzhu said: "Your daughter has a solid foundation and is very professional. She has managed the office business in perfect order in just one day."

Then he praised Lu Xiaomi for her youth and beauty.

Secretary Lu held the cigarette box in his hand and said to his daughter, "Go get me a pack of Peony."

Lu Xiaomi stood up and left the private room. Secretary Lu then said to He Yuzhu:

"Director He, we have been dealing with each other for several years, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded. They had just been chatting casually. Now he sent Lu Xiaomi away and got down to business.

"Yes, we have known each other for several years. Secretary Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you if I can."

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask Director He to help look after my daughter. She's still young, and now is not the time for her to date. Please."

He Yuzhu suddenly understood that this was asking him to help take care of his daughter, and not letting him fall in love was actually a disguised warning to him!

Lu Xiaomi had just graduated from a technical secondary school. She was young and beautiful at the prime of her life. Plus, she was really pretty, so it was normal for her to be worried.

Today is Lu Xiaomi's first day at work, and she invited me to dinner in the evening, just to make it clear in advance and give me a warning.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Lu, I promise that no one in the machinery factory will have any intention of taking advantage of her. I will definitely keep her under your care."

"Then I would like to thank Director He." Secretary Lu said with a smile.

He Yuzhu asked: "Why did Secretary Lu think of sending him to our machinery factory?"

"I was originally assigned to another unit, but something unexpected happened, so I returned to the street office to work. However, there are no vacancies in the street office, and the machinery factory happens to be short of people, so I can only ask you for help, brother."

He Yuzhu nodded, and seeing that Secretary Lu didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any other questions.

Secretary Lu did not mention any other requests, so it seemed that was the only thing.

After a while, Lu Xiaomi brought a pack of Peony cigarettes and placed it on her father's desk.

After eating and drinking, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. Secretary Lu had already prepared a handbag and stuffed it into He Yuzhu's pocket. Then the two sides separated.

He Yuzhu opened it and took a look, and found that there were actually two bottles of Fenjiu and two packs of Mudan cigarettes.

The most expensive cigarette now is Peony, with each pack costing up to 4 yuan. As for Zhongnanhai and Zhonghua, none of them are as expensive as Peony.

He Yuzhu looked a little conflicted. There were gradually more and more people who gave him gifts, but not many of them were so generous.

On the way here, I was still thinking whether I should let Lu Xiaomi go. But her father kept warning me and giving me gifts, so I felt embarrassed to do anything to Lu Xiaomi again.

On the second day at work, Lv Xiaomi took the document to He Yuzhu for signature. After signing, He Yuzhu could not help but ask:

"Where did you work before?"

Lu Xiaomi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's the district trade union."

"Such a good unit?" He Yuzhu said with some surprise.

Lu Xiaomi bit her lips lightly, her face full of grievance, but she did not respond to He Yuzhu's words.

Not everyone can enter the trade union casually. Secretary Lu must have put in a lot of effort and used a lot of favors to get Lu Xiaomi in.

It had only been two months since I graduated from school, and I had just left the union. There were no jobs available even on the street, so I had no choice but to come to my own machinery factory.

It seems that working in a union is very unhappy!

Looking at Lu Xiaomi's expression, she didn't want to say more, and He Yuzhu was too lazy to ask about what happened before, so he let her go back to work.

Today is the day when a group of leaders come to take office. The whole machinery factory is filled with joy. When it is almost ten o'clock, the group of leaders who are taking office finally arrives.

Director Li personally led a team to bring in a deputy secretary and two deputy factory directors, and formally appointed the leadership team in the conference room.

The factory director is still the previous director Shen, and the new one is the full-time deputy secretary Zhang Hongliang.

Next is He Yuzhu, who serves as the factory's deputy director and deputy secretary, in charge of technology and production, which can be said to be the most important position.

The two new deputy factory directors are Zhang Yajie and Duan Fei, who are responsible for other tasks respectively.

These five people are also members of the leadership team, each responsible for one area.

After confirming these five leaders, the next steps were some important departments and workshops. Tong Zhi and Dazhuang finally agreed and started work together today.

Tong Zhi is the head of the technical department, and Dazhuang is also entrusted with an important task and is the director of the light industry workshop.

At the same time, today is also a good day for unveiling the plaque. After all the leaders confirmed their office, an unveiling ceremony was held.

Director Li, Factory Director Shen and He Yuzhu lifted the red veil together. At the top was Jiaodaokou Street, Dongcheng District, followed by the five big words "Liming Machinery Factory".

The brand new signboard also indicated that the machinery factory was finally no longer an ordinary collective unit, but a formal unit at the department level.

There was warm applause.

Many people looked at He Yuzhu with jealousy, as he became a section-level cadre at the age of 25.

This is a height that many people will never reach in their lifetime.

For two consecutive days, the machinery factory was very busy, everyone was enthusiastically discussing factory matters, and then gradually calmed down.

He Yuzhu also gradually adapted to the new working method. Many things required discussions in meetings and exchanging opinions with other people.

There are two meetings, one is a secretary meeting consisting of three people, and the other is a team meeting consisting of five people.

Lu Xiaomi was very respectful to He Yuzhu and was serious and responsible in her work, but her attitude was a little distant. However, they got along peacefully and spent the summer together.

"Have you heard that this small canteen finally can't continue operating?" During the lunch break that day, Xu Xiaomei suddenly said this.

"What cafeteria?"

Xu Xiaomei said: "It's the canteen in the courtyard. There was a quarrel yesterday, and today each household will go there to cook their own food."

He Yuzhu asked: "Why?"

Xu Xiaomei said: "I heard from my mother that it was because Jia Zhang ate too much and was lazy. Everyone was dissatisfied and then they started arguing."

Cities are different from rural areas. Cities have monthly rations and small canteens, but there is no extra food, so you can't eat too much in the canteens.

But Jia Zhang was different. She ate heartily at every meal. While others ate two bowls, she could eat three.

At the beginning, Yi Zhonghai could still suppress it, but as time went on, others accumulated a lot of resentment, which finally broke out yesterday.

One by one, they accused Yi Zhonghai of being partial to his apprentice's family. Not only did Jia Zhang eat more, but Qin Huairu and the others also had more food. It was unfair.

"Why does it have anything to do with Qin Huairu?"

Xu Xiaomei asked back: "Don't you know that Qin Huairu still has a rural household registration?"

"I didn't notice that. Didn't she register as a resident in a city or town?"

When the country was just liberated, the household registration management was not strict. There was no urban household registration, and it was just called rural household registration. However, it was settled in 1955.

Xu Xiaomei said: "Qin Huairu and her two children all have rural household registration. They have land in the countryside, and the grain they are allocated is all in the shell, not processed."

The ration allocated in the city can be used directly to go to the grain store with the grain book to buy rice, noodles and various grains.

But the food distributed in rural areas is different. All of it is in shells. Although the ration is also 30 kilograms, it will be much less without the shells.

Qin Huairu and her friends handed in less grain than others, but they ate more than others. This is a huge contradiction.

He Yuzhu said: "It seems that my decision not to eat in the courtyard was correct."

Xu Xiaomei sighed and said, "Your family got away with it, but my dad and his family were unlucky."

He Yuzhu laughed and thought that it would be better to stay out of the affairs of the courtyard and save a lot of trouble.

After get off work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and saw smoke rising from every household, returning to the days of cooking.

Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised to see He Yuzhu come in and greeted him casually.

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, why didn't we eat in the cafeteria together today?"

"How could you not know?" When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu holding a box of meat, eggs and other food in his hands, he knew that he had received the news and the canteen had been disbanded.

She said unhappily, "The eldest son's wife just came back yesterday. How could she not have told you?"

He Yuzhu thought for a while before realizing that the eldest daughter-in-law that Yi Zhonghai was talking about was Xu Xiaomei.

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that Xu Xiaomei had married Yi Wendi, the eldest son of his family.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that Xu Xiaomei is still your daughter-in-law."

Yi Zhonghai was extremely angry. The eldest brother's wife only entered the house on the wedding day and then went to live in her sister's house.

Not to mention himself as a father-in-law, even Yi Wendi, the husband, has never seen his wife.

"He Yuzhu, stop being so sarcastic here."

"hehe."

He Yuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around and went into his home.

Seeing that there was no water, he carried out the bucket and put it in the sink. Just as he turned on the faucet, Jia Zhang came out from the west room.

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. The Jia Zhang in front of him was actually a lot bigger than before, and it seemed that she had grown a lot.

"Who is this? He's so fat that I don't recognize him."

Jia Zhang squeezed her triangular eyes and said anxiously, "He Yuzhu, stop talking nonsense here. How am I fat?"

He Yuzhu said: "Since you asked, I will tell you that your face is fat, your neck is thick, your arms are fat, your thighs are fat, your waist is thick, your whole body is fat from head to toe. How come your nose and face are swollen when your body is fat?"

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect He Yuzhu to say that.

Then he shouted angrily: "Damn you, you are the one who got fat!"

In fact, what Xu Xiaomei said today was already very tactful. Yesterday in the courtyard, there was not only a quarrel, but also a fight.

Because everyone said that the Jia Zhang family ate a lot, took up other people's food, and they were all fat like pigs.

Jia Zhang was unhappy and started arguing with a few middle-aged women. At that time, no one had returned from work yet.

Jia Zhang was isolated and helpless, and she couldn't win the argument at all, so naturally a fight broke out, and those angry aunts beat Jia Zhang severely.

When Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu came back, they were very angry when they saw Jia Zhang with a bruised face. They held a meeting and wanted to seek justice for Jia Zhang.

It’s just that everyone had been holding back a lot of anger for a long time, and it all exploded, and then they left in a bad mood, and the small canteen could no longer operate.

After being ridiculed by He Yuzhu, Jia Zhang immediately forgot how powerful He Yuzhu was and raised her arm to scratch him.

He Yuzhu would not indulge her. He opened his hand and slapped Jia Zhang's fat face hard.

"Puff!" Jia Zhang spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing a tooth.

"Stop!" Yi Zhonghai shouted.

"Silly Zhu, I'm going to fight you."

Jia Dongxu also ran towards He Yuzhu, holding a broken brick in his hand.

He Yuzhu raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach. Jia Dongxu flew into the air and then fell to the ground.

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "He Yuzhu, you are a nuisance. As long as you come back, you will make the courtyard a mess."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Old Yi, you are half right."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. This was the first time that He Yuzhu agreed with his point of view, but it seemed like something was wrong.

He Yuzhu stood on the corridor and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu beside him and said, "Isn't it a mess when I come back?"

Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu immediately understood that the chaos He Yuzhu was talking about was Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu!
