Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After the family assigned the tasks, Sun Zhengguo did not go anywhere and went directly to the central courtyard. He wanted to decide on a chef first.

When it comes to chefs, the first people he thought of were Sha Zhu and his master.

"Is Zhuzi brother at home?"

"Yes, yes, who is it? Come in."

After getting the owner's permission, Sun Zhengguo pushed aside the door curtain and walked into the house.

Sha Zhu, who was preparing to take a nap in the room, saw the person coming, sat up from the bed and walked quickly towards him.

"Jungguk, I'm sorry! I was just taking a nap in bed and didn't know you were coming."

Sha Zhu said with an apologetic look on his face.

"No, no, no, I'm sorry to have interrupted your lunch break."

Looking at Sha Zhu with a sincere face, Sun Zhengguo was a little confused. Since the last time he borrowed the car, Sha Zhu had been very polite when he saw his family.

"It's okay. Oh! Come on, sit down. I'll get you a glass of water."

Seeing Sha Zhu pick up the cup, Sun Zhengguo stopped Sha Zhu.

"No need, Brother Zhuzi, I'm here just to tell you something and then I'll leave."

Seeing that Sun Zhengguo was looking for him for something, Sha Zhu put down his cup and asked.

"What is it? Tell me! As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it."

"You're too serious, Brother Zhuzi. It's not a big deal."

Next, Sun Zhengguo stated his purpose.

I'm planning to host a banquet next weekend and would like to invite Sha Zhu and his master to be the chefs. There will be about 10 tables of people. I want to know what dishes will be needed so I can prepare them in advance. I want to check now to see if the master and his apprentice are free.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu said, as long as you think highly of me, I will get things done for you this afternoon.

The two chatted for about twenty minutes, and when they saw that they had finished discussing the matter, Sun Zhengguo offered to leave.

After Sun Zhengguo left, Sha Zhu said goodbye to his sister and went out for something, then went to his master Liu Dachuan's house.

In the evening, after Sun Dajiang's family had finished their meal, they were sitting around the table discussing the progress of hiring someone when Sha Zhu came.

"Zhu Zi! Come and sit down."

Seeing Sha Zhu coming, Sun Dajiang greeted him politely. Sun Zhengguo served tea, and after everyone sat down, Sha Zhu began to speak.

"Uncle Dajiang, my master agreed to what Zhengguo said at noon. My master and I will cook the dishes that day, and then we can bring two helpers over. What do you think?"

"Of course, of course, I'll listen to Master Liu. I'll have to trouble you later."

After all, there are 10 tables of people, and it is normal for them to bring two helpers. Sun Dajiang will definitely not have any objection.

"Then you can look at the list again. If there are any changes you want to make, you can bring them up so we can be prepared."

Sun Zhengguo took the list handed to him by Sha Zhu and looked at it carefully.

In Chef Liu's menu, there are 12 dishes for a table, including 4 cold dishes, 6 hot dishes, and the rest is soup.

Among the ingredients needed, the vegetarian dishes are all common dishes in the season, and the meat dishes are mainly pork, chicken, duck and fish. The required quantities are just right, probably because they are afraid that there will not be enough tickets.

As for the ingredients needed on the menu, Sun Zhengguo said that they were a piece of cake, there were plenty of them in the space, and they didn't even need to be bought.

After reading the list, Sun Zhengguo handed it to his father to look at it again, and then said.

"Brother Zhuzi, I am very satisfied with this menu. You can follow it. As for the quantity of ingredients, I will prepare more and you can just cook it."

"Okay, now that you put it that way, I know what's going on. You don't know! You need tickets to buy everything now. Meat and other things are hard to buy. Sometimes a table of dishes doesn't even have 2 taels of meat, not enough for a hot pot."

"Hahaha……."

Sha Zhu's complaints caused several people to laugh.

Then the few of them talked about some details to pay attention to. After everything was settled, Sha Zhu saw that it was getting late, so he said hello and went home.

After Sha Zhu left, the father and son continued the conversation about treating guests.

"Dad, should we go to Grandpa's place in person or give him a call?"

"We are all family, so just give them a call. Hey! They came and left the same day, which is a bit too rushed."

Sun Dajiang sighed.

"Then come early! I've found a place, not far from our home, in Juer Hutong, with 5 rooms, is it enough?"

Sun Dajiang didn't expect that his son had even prepared a place for his family to live. It was really an unexpected surprise.

"There are five rooms, that must be enough! Where did you find this house, you little brat? The preparations are very detailed."

"Don't worry about that. Just call them."

The last shortcoming was also made up, and there was nothing much to do next! The father and son stopped talking and went back to their rooms.

The next day, the Sun Zhengguo brothers went out early. They were going to invite their teacher and good classmates. Sun Zhengguo did not return home until noon.

This morning went smoothly. I invited several teachers, and as for a close classmate, I only called Zheng Wenhua.

Lunch was made by my sister and tasted pretty good. After Sun Zhengguo finished his lunch and was about to take a break, Yan Bugui came again.

“Jungguk, hurry up, the postman is here, I guess your notice has arrived.”

Because Sun Zhengguo's test results were released first, Yan Bugui had already guessed it and was not surprised.

"Okay, I'll come right over. Thank you, Uncle Third."

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, it was the same postman. After Sun Zhengguo signed, he opened the letter and an exquisite card appeared.

Sun Zhengguo unfolded the card and began to read it.

Sure enough, it was an admission letter from Tsinghua University, and I was admitted to the School of Engineering at Tsinghua University.

Yan Bugui, who was standing by, was extremely envious when he saw it. He wished that his son Yan Jiecheng's name was written on it. This was not an admission letter, but a cadre appointment letter.

Sun Zhengguo's receipt of the admission letter did not have much impact, because everyone knew that as long as there were no problems with the political review, it was only a matter of time.

Time passed quickly, and it was Saturday afternoon in a blink of an eye. The three siblings arrived at the station early in the morning. Because their grandfather and his family were coming over today, the siblings came early to wait.

At around 3 pm, the bus passing through Dongxiang Village was not late. Seeing the group of people getting off the bus, the three siblings went to greet them.

"Grandpa, grandma, this way."

Grandpa and his group heard the voice, saw Sun Zhengguo waving, and walked over.

The two sides met and greeted each other warmly. Sun Zhengguo saw that all the children were there, and only the grandparents, uncle, aunt and aunt-in-law were there, so he started asking questions.

"Grandpa, why didn't some of the others come?"

"There are some things going on in the village, so it's impossible for everyone to come. When my eldest grandson gets married, I promise that everyone will come."

"Hahaha……."

Everyone laughed.

Only the embarrassed Sun Zhengguo was left, scratching his head and muttering.

"I don't know where my wife is yet."
