Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Young man, my old man has been complaining to me about you these days~"

Faced with the aunt's sudden enthusiasm, He Yuzhu was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, your aunt is just like that. You just have to get used to it."

Following the old couple into the courtyard, He Yuzhu discovered that this was also a small courtyard. Thinking about the old man's previous efforts, He Yuzhu felt that it was not out of place for the elderly to live in such a courtyard, but rather a little small.

It seems that the old man still retains his military style, and the things in his house are neatly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Grandpa, you keep the yard really clean~"

"I'm used to it. I can't change it in my lifetime~"

Suddenly the old man changed his tone and said, "You idiot, you brought things with you when you came to my house. You are being too formal with me, an old man."

"Grandpa, I came here to do some business, and I brought a little too much stuff. I won't bring more next time I come."

The old man finally felt relieved. Although he knew that He Yuzhu would not have many opportunities to come to his house again in the future, he still had some hope.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time. Let's go inside and have some tea."

"Old lady, make the good tea that the old leader gave me~"

"I know. I've already made it."

Looking at the old couple who have such a tacit understanding with each other, He Yuzhu feels that this is what love should be like. They have gone through their youth together, endured middle age, and in the end, supported each other and returned to nature. It's really wonderful.

When they entered the house, He Yuzhu sat down with the old man and started drinking tea.

"Zhu Zi, is this done?"

"Hey, old man, don't mention it. I have no idea at all. I'm almost depressed in the coal mine guesthouse. I just want to have a meal with you and cheer myself up."

When the old man heard this, he said calmly, "Zhu Zi, you said you were staying at the coal mine guesthouse, and you came here for coal, too."

"Old man, I dare say that eight out of ten outsiders who come to Jin Province now come for coal."

The old man laughed when he heard it, "That's right, the only thing that Jin Province hasn't made other places worry about is coal."

"Zhu Zi, you are so young, but your unit sent you here alone?"

There is nothing to hide from Mr. Zhang and He Yuzhu.

"Old man, I am not talented. I am currently the director of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing."

"Hi~"

Even Mr. Zhang Qianjin, who considered himself knowledgeable, took a deep breath. He had heard about this Red Star Steel Mill from his old leader several times. How could Zhuzi be a director-level official at such a young age?

The old man’s first reaction was, could it be that this pillar is also someone’s son?

He Yuzhu also reacted at this time and realized that the old man was scared by him.

In order to prevent the old man from misunderstanding me, I quickly explained: "Old man, I am not the son of a high-ranking official. I will show you two things and you will understand."

After saying that, He Yuzhu reached into his pocket and instantly took out all the first-class merit medals that he had placed in the most conspicuous place in the space.

The old man was very excited when he saw the military medal. He took it carefully and tremblingly. He knew it was real as soon as he touched it, and he admired He Yuzhu in his heart.

Just as the old man was about to speak, He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Old man, due to disciplinary issues, I can't answer your question."

"Zhu Zi, I understand. You are a very good young man."

"Old man, clean up and prepare for dinner~"

I heard an old lady shouting from outside.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Grandpa, I should be the one making lunch. My main job is to be a cook."

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he became more and more confused. If he hadn't confirmed that the military medals were 100% real, how could this cook have so many first-class merits? The old man became more and more curious about He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, that's easy. You don't have much to do at the guesthouse anyway, so why don't you show off your skills at dinner?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that this was the case, so he didn't act pretentiously and agreed readily.

Aunt Cao also liked He Yuzhu's straightforward personality, and during the meal she even asked He Yuzhu subtly whether he had a partner.

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Auntie, I already have four children."

When talking about his own four children, He Yuzhu's face was full of happiness. He immediately put down his chopsticks and took out a family photo of six members of his family to introduce them to the two elders.

"Grandpa, auntie, this is Ping An, and this is Ruyi..."

"Oh, these four children are so beautiful. Old man, let me tell you, if the second son doesn't get married this year, you should transfer him back. Look at Zhuzi, he is one year younger than him and already has four children."

He Yuzhu silently mourned for this big brother he had never met for three seconds, "Brother, I hope you don't blame me."

He Yuzhu thought that the old man, a soldier, would be considerate of his son.

Who knows what will happen in the next second.

"Old lady, you are right. If the second son doesn't bring a date back this year, then I will have to break my legs and take sick leave to go on a blind date."

He Yuzhu: "No, old man. You always solve problems in such a simple and rough way."

After lunch, He Yuzhu was just about to clean up the table with Aunt Cao.

"Zhu Zi, there's no rush to clean the table. Go take a nap first. It won't be too late when you wake up."

In this way, He Yuzhu was led by Aunt Cao to the room where her son slept and let He Yuzhu take a nap.

"It deserves to be the number one province for lunch breaks." I, He Yuzhu, didn't believe it before, but now I do.

He Yuzhu slept particularly soundly this time, and when he woke up, he felt much less irritable.

When they arrived at the yard, the old man had already woken up and was fiddling with his flowers and plants. When he saw He Yuzhu coming out, he immediately put down his work.

"Zhu Zi, how did you sleep?"

"My dear, I had a great sleep~"

"Where's my aunt?"

"Your aunt heard that you were going to show off your skills tonight, so she went to buy ingredients."

He Yuzhu was very happy from the bottom of his heart that the two old people did not treat him as an outsider.

"Old man, I'm not bragging to you. I'm not only the director, but also the full-time chef of the State Guest House."

The old man didn't expect that He Yuzhu had such an identity.

He said happily: "Then your aunt and I will have a treat tonight. We have to drink more tonight~"

"Master, just wait and see. I won't let you down."

After a while, Aunt Cao came back with a lot of food. He Yuzhu took a look and found that this aunt had spent a lot of money, including chicken and fish.

He quickly stepped forward to take it and said, "Auntie, let me take care of it. You sit down and rest for a while. The meal will be ready soon."

Aunt Cao also wanted to help He Yuzhu.

The old man said at the side: "Old lady, we are in for a treat tonight. Zhuzi is the chef who cooks for the leaders."
