Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Master Niu said with a bitter face: "I am just a messenger. I didn't even see what Master Qing San said."

He Yuzhu nodded to show that he understood. Although he was angry, he was not taking it out on Master Niu. After all, he was just passing on a message.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, but he thinks this is still the Republic of China. He just says hello and I come running to his door?"

Niu Ye said, "Yes, this time Master Qing San did something a little unkind. What do you think we should do about this?"

"It's impossible for me to go. If he wants to talk to me about something, let's talk in this tavern tomorrow afternoon."

He Yuzhu had never dealt with this Mr. Qing San before. Since the other party wanted to meet him, he would definitely not come to him on his own.

It's better to make an appointment and see what he really wants to do.

He Yuzhu also had a vague guess in his mind, maybe it was because he had captured three police officers, otherwise, why would Qingsan look for him?

Is it possible that his family is short of food?

It's simply impossible. Ordinary people can starve, but these people have countless ways to get food. The two of them have no contact with each other on other matters.

Niu Ye said, "I did something wrong. I will go find Lao Liu and tell them the truth."

As he said this, he raised the wine cup in his hand, apologized to He Yuzhu, then tilted his head back and drank it all.

He patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said goodbye.

"Why did Mr. Niu leave so early today?" Mr. Pian asked.

"I have something else to do at home, so I'll go back first."

After Uncle Niu went out, Uncle Pian came up to him, sat in the seat where Uncle Niu originally sat, and started chatting casually with He Yuzhu.

The tavern's business was not good, with only a few people drinking inside. When someone left early, the others thought it was meaningless since there was no one around, so they also went back early.

The cashier on duty today, Kong Yuqin, stopped He Yuzhu and said:

"Hey, Director He, this tavern has been running out of money every day. What's going to happen in the future?"

"I can't help it. No one has enough to eat. Who will come to drink? How about selling sweet wine?"

"Is that okay? We only open for business in the afternoon or evening."

He Yuzhu said: "I see some restaurants have started selling sweet drinks. I'll try to get some. Even if it doesn't make much money, it will at least keep people around from going hungry."

Now the biscuits and candies in the stores have long been sold out, and many grocery stores have nothing to sell and are closed every day.

I don't know who invented this sweet drink, but it has now become the main product of some shops.

The so-called sweet wine is made by sprinkling glutinous rice with yeast. In fact, this is glutinous rice wine, but the one sold is not the directly brewed glutinous rice wine.

Or dilute the glutinous rice wine to about 10 times. This diluted wine is called sweet wine.

One pound of glutinous rice can produce 40 pounds of sweet wine, and then some saccharin is added to the sweet wine to make the wine sweeter. No tickets are required when these sweet wines are sold.

The purpose is to allow more people to have something to fill their stomachs when they are hungry.

It is sold very cheaply, only one cent a bowl, which is almost the weight of one pound.

Kong Yuqin thought about it, nodded and said, "Our 100-jin ration of food is not enough. If we want to buy sweet wine, we have to find a way."

A pound of glutinous rice costs just over 4 cents, and can be sold for around cents if brewed into sweet wine, which is still very cost-effective.

Of course, the sweet drinks sold are purchased directly from the streets, not produced by the store itself.

Kong Yuqin and He Yuzhu chatted for a while, discussed things, and then closed the pub.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he went to the bedroom first and saw that Xu Huizhen was already asleep, so he did not disturb her.

Then she came to the second bedroom, washed up, and asked, "What does Master Niu want to see you about?"

He Yuzhu took off his shoes and came up, lying in the middle, saying, "It's nothing serious, it's not just borrowing food."

Xu Huizhi pushed him aside and said, "It's just to borrow food. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."

He Yuzhu hugged her and asked, "Are you envious of your sister's pregnancy?"

Xu Huizhi raised her head and asked, "Why? You still want me to have a baby for you? As long as you are willing, I certainly won't object."

He Yuzhu said: "Then let's have another child."

Before Xu Huizhi could think clearly, He Yuzhu had already climbed up and shouted, "But what will I do when my belly gets big?"

"Go live in a villa. It's in the north of the city and no one else knows about it."

Xu Huizhi was immediately delighted. Seeing that her sister was already pregnant with her third child, it was impossible not to feel envious.

But she only gave birth to a boy, who was very naughty every day. Xu Huizhi wished she had a little girl who could understand her feelings and be caring.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are so nice."

As Xu Huizhi spoke happily, she felt the rice transplanter had arrived at the farmland.

He frowned. The fields have not been watered yet and the land is too dry.

The next day, He Yuzhu came to the machinery factory and everything was normal. After a while, Tong Zhi came over and asked:

"Why is the Jeep's information gone?"

He Yuzhu said: "I have collected them and am planning to compile them into a book to form a complete system."

Tong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought someone had stolen it from the reference room."

When He Yuzhu discovered the information, he collected a lot of information from the room.

He Yuzhu asked him what information he wanted, and then told him the specific data, but did not show him the information.

In an alley outside Zhengyang Gate, at the residence of Master Qing San, Lao Liu, who had delivered a message to Master Niu yesterday, waited for a while before he saw anyone.

"Third Master, Master Niu has replied."

Master Qing San drank his tea and said nonchalantly, "Is everything alright?"

Lao Liu looked a little embarrassed, and said with a stiff upper lip: "That He guy is so ungrateful."

When Master Qing San heard this, he knew something had gone wrong. He slammed the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, stared at him, and asked:

"what happened?"

"That He guy is very arrogant. Master Niu sent a message, but He guy didn't know how to appreciate it and was unwilling to come. So I asked you to meet him at their tavern this afternoon."

"It's really ungrateful. I gave him face."

Uncle Qing San angrily picked up the teacup and smashed it directly to the ground, and the green covered teacup immediately shattered to the ground.

He slapped the armrest of the chair heavily and shouted, "This is too much. This is a slap in the face of my Third Master Qing. I really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."

Lao Liu stood there and groaned secretly, cursing He Yuzhu and Niu Ye in his heart.

Master Qing San lost his temper for a while before saying, "What a good guy named He, I want to see what he can do."

He Yuzhu didn't know yet that Uncle Qing San was angry, but even if he knew he wouldn't care about a local tyrant.

I really thought it was still the Republic of China before liberation. What's more, He Yuzhu now feels that he is extremely strong. He can use his power to suppress himself in a head-on confrontation, but when dealing with this kind of person, a night of all-in will make him disappear in the blink of an eye.

At around 11 o'clock, He Yuzhu said goodbye to Lu Xiaomi and came out of the machinery factory.

Lu Xiaomi stamped her feet in anger: "You bastard, are you trying to pick up girls every day?"

However, thinking about how He Yuzhu always made him exhausted and unable to cope, he sighed and scolded himself for being useless.

But I ate a lot and exercised regularly, and I felt that my physical strength had improved a lot. However, I was no match for He Yuzhu. I was like a balloon, which was popped after a few hits from He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu drove out and arrived outside the Cultural Palace, but he did not stop at the previous place, but changed direction.

Lou Xiao'e and Jiang Hui came out of the Cultural Palace playing and fighting, their faces flushed. Sometimes when girls talk about certain topics, they have even more no bottom line than boys.

Soon the two arrived at the place where He Yuzhu had parked his car before.

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "Lou Xiao'e, your man didn't come to pick you up today!"

"You're going to die. I told you, that's not my man."

Lou Xiao'e grabbed Jiang Hui several times in anger before saying, "Don't think I don't know. Did you hold hands in the cinema?"

"I let you talk nonsense."

Jiang Hui angrily scratched Lou Xiaoe's waist a few times: "I obviously held your hand first."

The two of them played around for a while, and Lou Xiao'e hugged Jiang Hui and asked, "Do you want me to be your matchmaker?"

Jiang Hui asked seriously, "He's so old, why hasn't he married yet?"

Jiang Hui's family conditions were not very good. If her brother had not found a good wife, she would not have been able to study in the Cultural Palace every day.

I just want to find a good man, get married, start a family as soon as possible, and reduce the burden on my family.

In her previous life, Lou Xiao'e was married to the projectionist Xu Damao, and her salary was not high.

He Yuzhu was able to be a first-level cook, earning up to 89 yuan a month, which was extremely high in the eyes of ordinary people.

Only some section-level cadres can exceed this salary level.

The monthly salary for college students is only 56 yuan, and not every college student can become a section-level cadre.

On the other hand, who among those who are currently aware of technology is not a middle-aged person in his thirties or forties?

Even if there are some 20-year-old section-level cadres, how can they marry a girl from an ordinary family?

Therefore, when Jiang Hui learned that He Yuzhu was not married, she was moved.

In the cinema, He Yuzhu held her hand, and Jiang Hui simply agreed.

I had asked Lou Xiao'e the same question just now in the classroom, and Jiang Hui asked it again while she had some free time.

Lou Xiao'e also had some thoughts. Judging from what happened yesterday, that bad guy He Yuzhu must have fallen in love with Jiang Hui. With the mentality of going to hell together, she had to get Jiang Hui to accompany her to serve He Yuzhu.

I said, "I heard that he wasn't married before, and he probably isn't married now. What? Are you really attracted to him?"

Jiang Hui's face turned even redder, but she denied it, "I just asked casually, how could I possibly like him?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed secretly in her heart, and then said: "No, it's best, I'm still considering it."

"You still say he's not your man?" Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"No, if you like him, go ahead and talk to him. I don't care." Lou Xiao'e said with a guilty conscience.

However, Jiang Hui was so immersed in her own joy that she did not notice anything unusual about Lou Xiao'e.

"Don't talk nonsense. Who would like him? He's just a cook who serves people."

Lou Xiao'e saw all of Jiang Hui's behavior but did not expose her. Since He Yuzhu did not come today, the two of them just stood there and broke up.

The two people were not taking the same bus and needed to go to different stops.

Jiang Hui turned around and walked away. She looked back to make sure that Lou Xiao'e did not follow her. She was secretly happy then. She turned a corner and saw He Yuzhu's jeep parked on the side of the road.

Then he put away the smile on his face, his steps became heavier, and he walked to the passenger side of the jeep.

He Yuzhu knocked on the glass and opened the car door. Jiang Hui got in and asked, "Why did you ask me out alone?"

While watching the movie, He Yuzhu took the time to tell Jiang Hui that he was waiting for her at this place. At that time, Jiang Hui just said she knew, but did not nod in agreement.

He Yuzhu came early and waited, and finally Jiang Hui arrived.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I felt that you were different from others at first sight. You gave me a very special feeling, and I couldn't help but want to be with you."

Jiang Hui blushed immediately and didn't dare to look at He Yuzhu. She lowered her head and looked at her toes.

He Yuzhu started the car and left the place. By the time Jiang Hui reacted, the car had already stopped outside Lao Mo's restaurant.

"How about I treat you to Western food today?"

Jiang Hui asked softly, "Isn't this place expensive?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect her to ask this. It seems that she is still very virtuous.

He smiled and said, "It's not that expensive. It's still within my acceptable range."

The two chose a relatively secluded and quiet corner. He Yuzhu ordered a steak set meal. Jiang Hui was also here for the first time and ordered the same set meal.

There was an appetizer before the meal, corn and ham soup, and in addition to the steak, there was an egg and pasta, two small pieces of bread, salad, and black tea.

A set meal costs only 2 yuan, which is still very cost-effective.

Jiang Hui looked at the furnishings in the hall with great curiosity. There were crystal chandeliers hanging on the tall dome, and both the dining table and the interior decorations were full of Western style, which made her dazzled and everything she saw was strange.

Soon the food was served, He Yuzhu taught her table manners, and then started chatting casually.

Jiang Hui was a little reserved, as it was her first time being alone with He Yuzhu. After a while, she gradually relaxed and started talking and laughing.

After the meal, the two came out of Lao Mo's restaurant. He Yuzhu asked about it, but Jiang Hui certainly didn't want He Yuzhu to send her home, so she dropped her off at the station. Then the two separated.

He Yuzhu drove back to Qianmen Hutong. It was not yet time for the pub to open, but Uncle Niu had been waiting for a while.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming alone, he asked anxiously, "Why didn't you bring a few people with you?"

"Does he still want to practice on the spot?"

Niu Ye made a bitter face and shouted, "I think it's better to be safe."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No, I don't think he has the courage."

He Yuzhu made some tea and the two of them sat at the middle table and chatted. After a while, they saw a group of people surrounding Master Qing San coming over.
