Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Shanhe remembered that he had three envelopes on him that he hadn't read yet. He opened them in front of Chen Xueru and Hou Kui. The Ministry of First Machine Industry awarded him 300 yuan and some bills. The most valuable one was a bicycle ticket, for a Phoenix -inch bicycle. As expected of a department in charge of civilian machinery, they had no shortage of these things.

The Propaganda Department gave the most, after all, it was four marches, 800 yuan plus a radio ticket, which was also in line with the Propaganda Department, and it was just right to buy it and listen to their broadcasts.

The steel rolling mill was a bit stingy, only giving 300 yuan and some food coupons, meat coupons, and a few oil coupons, nothing else. It cannot be said that the factory gave too little, don't forget that Zhao Shanhe was going to be promoted to deputy section chief by skipping a grade.

Zhao Shanhe's family knew his own business. If he had not helped the factory to obtain fish and meat and filled the gap in meat so that the workers would not have to delay their work due to lack of oil and water, the factory would not agree to his exceptional promotion.

Of course, it cannot be said that his championship medal and these songs have no effect. These are just icing on the cake used by Li Huaide to help him get promoted. His main job in the future will still be to focus on the welfare of the employees. Since he works in a steel mill, the work in the factory will always be the first priority.

He stuffed all these things into Chen Xueru's hands.

"Wife, you can keep all these things. You can buy whatever you want. I will give you my salary in the future and I will take care of all the household affairs."

These words made Chen Xueru tremble with joy. If Hou Kui hadn't been sitting next to her, she would really like to go up and kill her on the spot.

I looked at the sky and saw that the sun had not completely set yet but the room was already a little dim. I reached out to turn on the light and took out all the comic books I had bought from the box in the inner room. More than 200 books were placed on the table in the living room.

Chen Xueru couldn't help but ask when she saw so many comic strips.

"Shanhe, are you going to dry the books? But it's getting dark, isn't this the wrong time?" (Sunset at 10:17 in Sijiu City, early October)

Zhao Shanhe smiled and pulled Hou Kui over and said to Chen Xueru.

"I just want to introduce a new friend to Hou Kui. It wasn't convenient for us to get married yesterday, so we can do it today."

After that, he took Hou Kui out of the house and visited every household in the three courtyards. When he came back, he was followed by a group of children. Actually, it is not accurate to call them children, because Jie Cheng and Guangtian also came.

Zhao Shanhe pulled Hou Kui in front of him and spoke to these people.

"This is my son, Zhao Kui (his name has been changed on his household registration). He will live with you in the yard from now on. I hope you can help each other and show solidarity and love. If he does anything wrong, feel free to come to me. I won't say much, go read the comic book."

In the previous chapter we mentioned the approximate price of the comic books at that time, more than 200 copies. Not to mention Yan Bugui, even Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai would not be willing to buy them.

Zhao Shanhe used these comic strips to basically attract all the younger generations in the yard. At least Hou Kui would not be isolated in the yard anymore. Besides, they could get candies and peanuts by reading books at his place. The younger ones all regarded Hou Kui as their big brother.

Only Banggeng was a little miserable. He was only 4 years old. Jia Zhang was worried about him coming here alone. She wanted to come with him to eat and drink for free, but Zhao Shanhe disagreed. In the end, she could only cry at home.

Chen Xueru fully supports Zhao Shanhe's approach. In her opinion, this is the life a child should have in his childhood. He should study hard at school every day and play well after finishing his homework when he gets home. In fact, to put it bluntly, she has money and does not lack comic books and food.

After three days, the children had become accustomed to this kind of life. Seeing that things were on the right track, Zhao Shanhe told Hou Kui that he would be in charge of the comic strips from now on and he became a hands-off boss.

He really has no shortage of peanuts. There are tons of peanuts harvested in the small world at one time. He used to press oil from them before, but now any peanuts that come out from between his fingers are enough for these children to eat for a long time.

As for the fact that some people say that you have to pay for candy, right? Two pieces of hard candy for one cent, one piece of orange candy for one cent, you let these kids eat until they are dead, how much can they eat? Don't forget that eating too much of this stuff will cause toothache......

Time passed slowly, and Zhao Shanhe gradually got to know Chen Xueru during this period. Of course, Chen Xueru also taught him a lot of details. The two of them were so close that they were integrated into one and in love with each other.

At the beginning, Zhao Shanhe couldn't figure out the opponent's routine, and he could barely be considered a well-matched opponent. But as time went on, Chen Xueru's decline became apparent. After all, her physique was there, and the gap in strength gradually developed until it became a world of difference.

Late one night in mid-October, after the two finished another sparring match, Chen Xueru, panting, lay on Zhao Shanhe and said.

"Did you eat something? Why are you getting stronger and stronger?"

Zhao Shanhe put one of his hands on the other's back and the other on the other's buttocks, and laughed, "hehehe".

"Your physical strength is not up to standard, you can't blame me for that, right? Our Zhao family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation to increase physical strength. Starting tomorrow, I'll give you and Hou Kui some to try, so that you don't always fail halfway. I still want to have a child."

Chen Xueru was originally very angry at Zhao Shanhe for laughing at her, but when she heard about the ancestral secret, she stopped talking. She really couldn't understand it. She only heard that people are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties. She was already 30, but she couldn't beat a 21-year-old boy. She was also very sad to see that the other party couldn't have fun for several days.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shanhe secretly took out some white horsetooth corn while washing up and gave one to Hou Kui and Chen Xueru each.

"You must eat all of this at home and are not allowed to take it out. This is our Zhao family's ancestral secret skill and must not be known to outsiders."

After Chen Xueru and Hou Kui finished eating, they both felt a hot current flowing through their bodies, but apart from that, they didn't feel anything else. The two told Zhao Shanhe about this phenomenon. Zhao Shanhe thought to himself that it was a good thing that he didn't give this thing to others, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

However, when faced with Chen Xueru's questioning, he still told a lie that could explain the past.

"That feeling is correct. I sprinkled this ancestral secret medicine on the corn, so you feel this way after eating it. Since this is your first time eating it, the effect is not obvious. Once you eat it for three consecutive months, you will see the effect."

Chen Xueru trusted Zhao Shanhe 100%, so naturally she believed everything he said. Although Hou Kui was skeptical, he felt that the momentum could not be deceptive, so after he promised not to tell anyone, the matter was over.

At the end of October, the factory held another enlarged meeting of cadres. This time, Zhao Shanhe finally had the opportunity to attend it. The old secretary retired and shed tears on the spot. Yang Liming took over, and the secretary and factory director were in charge.

Deputy Director Nie became deputy secretary, Li Huaide became deputy director, and Yang Liming promoted a workshop director to deputy director through exchange of interests. The political situation of the steel rolling mill has basically changed completely.

With the change of leadership at the top, there will definitely be large-scale changes in the leadership below after the Spring Festival next year. It all depends on how the leaders of the factory divide the cake. Zhao Shanhe, a small shrimp, also became a big shrimp at this conference and was officially promoted to deputy section chief (administrative level 18, salary 87 yuan).
