Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"I can't bear to refuse. Teacher Li is so enthusiastic, I really can't say no. But I'm also worried about what kind of person that person will be!" Wen Li's face was full of worry.

Wen's father silently flipped through the newspaper without saying a word, but Wen's mother couldn't help but complain: "Shouldn't you talk to your daughter about this?"

Father Wen closed the newspaper helplessly and said, “You go and meet him. If you succeed, that’s great. If you fail, it won’t embarrass your colleagues.

"However, meeting is an opportunity. If you miss it, there will be no next time. You should think about it carefully.

Wen Li thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Okay, I'll go and see what kind of person that chef is!"

The parents were speechless after hearing this. Does everyone have to be compared like this?

……

Sunday soon arrived. He Yuzhu went out early in the morning to prepare dishes for someone else's wedding, while He Yushui stayed at home. After all, she was already a junior high school girl.

She did housework and laundry, then read and studied.

After the wedding banquet, He Yuzhu quickly rode his bike home, gave the food he brought back to He Yushui, told her to eat by herself in the evening, and then went straight to the bathhouse.

He usually pays great attention to personal hygiene. After all, he comes from the future and has strict requirements on cleanliness.

He planned to tidy up the house before getting married, but the toilet and bathroom could not be built.

It's not that there is no solution. After all, he is familiar with the construction methods of septic tanks in rural areas in later generations, and they don't take up much space.

He lived in the main house, while He Yushui lived in a small side room in the east wing. There was an open space in the corner between the two houses, which had always been their family's storage space. There was a cellar there.

This location is completely suitable for building a toilet and setting up a septic tank. The wastewater can be treated by sedimentation and discharged into the sewer under the atrium pool through pipes. There is no need to set up a drainage system outside the courtyard.

But if it is built, it will become a shared facility for everyone. Will the people in the yard let it go easily?

He Yuzhu took a bath for half an hour, letting the bath attendant scrub him as hard as he could. After getting out of the bath, he changed into the spare clothes he brought with him.

Although spring has arrived, Beijing is still chilly. He Yuzhu is wearing a sweater and woolen trousers, a gray four-pocket cadre suit on the outside, and leather shoes.

She was wearing a grey scarf, gloves, and a grey cashmere coat.

In that era, cotton-padded jackets were too thick, so he preferred sweaters and woolen trousers, so he didn't feel cold at all in the kitchen in winter.

Why are they all gray? Because they are not easy to fade. Nowadays, the clothes on the market are made of a single material, and colors like navy blue and khaki are easy to fade.

The gray color does not fade significantly and is even less noticeable.

He Yuzhu stockpiled a lot of supplies, wool being one of them.

Wool tickets will be scarce in the future, so he is hoarding a large amount now so that his family can use them in the future.

The changed clothes were taken home, and He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to look at himself: "Yushui, what do you think of me?"

He Yuzhu put on some vanishing cream, fixed his hair, and then asked He Yushui: "Now that I have a sister-in-law, do you feel that I don't need you anymore?"

He Yushui's question made him stunned. She was obviously still under psychological pressure, but the situation had improved. At least she didn't cry: "How could it be?"

“With a sister-in-law, more people will love you.

And I don't need you to clean my room anymore. I will take care of you until you get married.

He Yushui was satisfied, and then looked at He Yuzhu's outfit: "Brother, you are the most handsome.

"Okay, little brat... I'm leaving.

“He Yuzhu pinched He Yushui’s cheek, feeling that it was too thin, and gave it an average evaluation.

He picked up a magazine that had been prepared long ago. This was the secret signal they agreed upon. Each party held a copy, and He Yuzhu's copy was picked up from the factory guard room.

Pushing his bicycle, He Yuzhu set out on his journey.

Their meeting place was not far away, and the two families' residences were adjacent to each other. After all, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the Heavy Industry Machinery Factory were both outside Dongzhimen, but the workers' residences were distributed differently.

......

Wen Li wore a red scarf that covered her hair, mouth and nose. She also held a magazine in her hand, feeling uneasy.

She had been imagining what her blind date looked like.

In the past few days, she has been observing the chefs in the cafeteria, trying to find that person, but as she observes, her expectations gradually diminish.

"Crunch..." The sound of brakes interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and saw a young man wearing a gray wool coat, a gray scarf, leather gloves and leather shoes appear in front of her.

There was a rolled-up magazine in his coat pocket.

[Is it him? ]

He Yuzhu also took a quick look at Wen Li. Although she covered her face, only her big eyes were exposed, which made her look very charming.

"Hello, are you Comrade Wenli?" He Yuzhu parked his bicycle, took out a magazine and showed it to her, then asked.

Wen Li responded: "Yes, are you Comrade He Yuzhu?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, “Yes, it’s me.

We are here for a blind date today, Comrade Wenli, isn't it time to show your true colors?"

Wen Li had a surprisingly good first impression of He Yuzhu. Maybe it was because she was disappointed with the image of the cafeteria chef?

Wen Li took off her scarf, and her two braids fell on her shoulders, revealing her pretty face.

Although she was beautiful, He Yuzhu's first reaction was surprise. He finally recognized her. This was Wen Li, the heroine in "Golden Wedding".

No wonder he felt she looked familiar, and with her family background, everything matched.

I was a little confused, wondering if such a woman was his ideal partner?

Wenli was born into an intellectual family and was a teacher herself, but she was influenced by her mother and favored boys over girls because her mother gave birth to three daughters.

Once her daughters get married, she will no longer have children around her.

This made He Yuzhu a little hesitant, but when he looked at Wen Li's face, he was reluctant to give up. After all, she was so beautiful!

"What's wrong?" Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu. His expression seemed a little complicated, and he looked... very conflicted!

How is this going?

What are you struggling with?

"It's nothing. We already know each other now and we know each other's family and conditions, but for both of us, these are not important.

"The most important thing is whether we are suitable for each other," He Yuzhu said.

“You are right.

"Wen Li said without reservation: "When I first heard that you were a chef, I refused.

“After all, our cultural backgrounds are different, but my family advised me to meet him, as it might bring unexpected benefits.

He Yuzhu smiled. She was indeed a bit arrogant and literary. As the youngest child in the family, she was loved by her parents and two older sisters.

"What are you laughing at?" Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu in confusion. She thought he would be angry, but unexpectedly he laughed.

"It's nothing, Comrade Wenli, what is your educational background?" He Yuzhu asked.

“After I graduated from junior high school, I studied at a teachers’ college.

Wen Li replied.

He Yuzhu nodded. Considering her age, this academic qualification was reasonable.

"So you're not a college student!" He Yuzhu sighed, "So our levels are probably about the same.

"What?" Wen Li was stunned. "How is it equivalent?"

"In my opinion, academic qualifications can be divided into two categories: college students and others!" He Yuzhu's words are offensive. He is reluctant to part with beautiful women, but he is worried about their personalities and ideas.

For those women who have been spoiled since childhood, we cannot compromise easily. We must frustrate them and let them understand who is the leader of the family and whose opinions are correct.

"How can you classify it like this?" Wen Li naturally objected.

"Is there anything wrong with my classification?" He Yuzhu said as if it was a matter of course, "Those who get into college are a very small number of elites, and the rest either fail or cannot afford the education costs.

"From elementary school to junior high school, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"The next level is technical secondary school and high school. You are studying at a normal school, which is also at the technical secondary school level, and you are learning how to become a teacher.

"And what about me? I studied how to be a chef, even though there was no such major in school. But I learned my craft in a restaurant, so our starting point was the same.

Wen Li was stunned. These words did make sense. After all, one was a teacher training teacher and the other was a cook. That's right!

He Yuzhu continued, "There are also ten levels of chefs. I am currently at level seven and plan to be promoted to level six this year.

“What is your primary school teacher level?”

Wen Li was a little annoyed: "Can this be compared?"

"Why not?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile: "In the new era, there are only differences in the division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low.

"The purpose of occupational classification is to provide different salaries for different levels, with more work resulting in more pay and less work resulting in less pay.

“Inspire everyone to improve their professional skills!”

“I’m twenty years old this year, and you’re nineteen, so the age difference isn’t that big.

"You have been studying since childhood, while I started learning skills after graduating from high school. Logically, your level should be higher than mine.

"I..." Wen Li felt that this logic was biased and could not find any reason to refute it. After all, she could not deny that there were differences in the levels of professions.

Suddenly, Wen Li asked another question: "What else will we discuss after we get married?"

"Of course it's the daily necessities of life!" He Yuzhu answered immediately.

"Is that all?" Wen Li smiled, "Can't we talk about books?"

"It's very difficult!" He Yuzhu said: "Think about it, working six days a week, what time do you go to work and what time do you get off work every day?"

“Your elementary school students finish school early, but I work in an important unit and sometimes have to work overtime, so I usually get home very late.

“When you get home, you have to cook and eat. If you help with some housework and clean up ahead of time, you may have some time.

"But shouldn't we listen to the news during this time?"

“Learn about national affairs, then wash up, and it’s almost time to go to bed.

"Shouldn't you go out for a walk on the weekend? Or go back to your parents' house to visit the elderly, or go shopping or watch a movie?"

"We don't have much time to chat, so we should talk more about family matters, such as food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, right?"

“It was like this before I had children, and now I’m even busier.

"Comrade Wenli, this is life!"

Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu in surprise. Is this really the case? She had never thought of this before.

Confused by He Yuzhu's theory, He Yuzhu glanced at his watch. They agreed to meet at two o'clock, and it was now nearly two forty.

"Comrade Wenli, we've been standing outside for an hour, why don't we go watch a movie?" He Yuzhu suggested, "The recently released 'Railway Guerrillas'."

"Okay, okay!" Wen Li temporarily lost the ability to think.

"Get in the car!" He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and took Wen Li directly to the nearest cinema.

After arriving, they bought movie tickets and found that they still had some time.

"Wenli, would you like something to drink or eat?" He Yuzhu asked.

"It's up to you!" Wen Li seemed a little listless, still thinking about what He Yuzhu had just said.

He Yuzhu was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He had taken He Yushui to see a movie before. After all, there were not many entertainment activities, and he had not seen most of the current movies.
