Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu can only say that he has done his best for Yan Xiaobao. After all, the reason he accepted him was because of the kid's dedication to cooking. But he had his own ideas later on and returned to the canteen. It may not be appropriate to gradually distance himself from him. It should be that people have different pursuits. He still respects his master He Yuzhu.

After tasting a few bites, Li Changwei asked: "Zhu Zi, your apprentice's talent is only so far."

He Yuzhu nodded, “Uncle, you are an expert, but you are also excellent.”

The two chatted for a while about the three little ones in Yushui's family. When the three little ones were mentioned, Li Changwei's face was full of smiles. He just said with a little regret: "In a few more years, I will retire and they will all grow up."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, if I had a grandfather who was a member of the Standing Committee, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

"Uncle, you are sacrificing your own family for the sake of everyone else. Xiaozhi and the others will understand."

"Zhu Zi, I'm done eating. I still have work to do. Take your time. Your Chinese medicine hospital must make a name for itself."

"Uncle, I will."

He Yuzhu was not embarrassed by Li Changwei's departure. He was also hungry, so he openly finished his meal.

He patted his butt and left in a cool manner amid the surprised looks of the staff.

When I got home, I heard Lou's mother say, "Zhu Zi, Liu Ruilong just called and said that he and Weiguo took the train from Yangcheng back to Beijing today."

He Yuzhu didn't expect them to come back so early, but he guessed that they had already boarded the train by now, and it was too late to stop them, so he just left them alone.

"Mom, I got it. I had lunch with Uncle Li. I'm a little tired now. I'm going to take a nap."

"Go ahead, don't sleep too much, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."

He Yuzhu seldom takes a nap. He went on a long trip after the Chinese New Year and didn't take a nap after coming back. Now that he is almost done with work, he feels very tired.

He Yuzhu woke up in the dark. He was so sleepy that he subconsciously asked Lou Xiaoe, who was changing clothes in the room, "Wife, it's not even daybreak yet, why are you up so early?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned at first, then realized that He Yuzhu was confused in his sleep, so he stepped forward and touched He Yuzhu's forehead.

Lou Xiaoe had just returned from the store, her hands and feet were cold. When she placed her little hand on He Yuzhu's forehead, He Yuzhu shuddered.

"Oh, my dear, I slept all afternoon."

"What do you think? Mom said she came over and knocked on the door to wake you up, but you didn't respond, so she didn't bother you."

He Yuzhu didn't delay any longer and jumped up to get dressed.

Lou Xiaoe, who was standing by, was so frightened that she said:

"Zhu Zi, take it easy. You still think you are a young man in his twenties."

He Yuzhu raised Lou Xiaoe's chin with a sly smile and said, "Woman, I slept well this afternoon, let's have a fight tonight."

Lou Xiaoe: "Who is afraid of who?"

The old couple dawdled for a while, watching some paid content before coming to the restaurant.

Liu Ranran, who was engaged to He Xiao, now came to He's house for meals without any psychological burden. She didn't even bother going back to the dormitory when it was late, and slept with He Jiaran, naming them the ShuangRan combination. He Xiao was so anxious that she was sucking her teeth. She was looking forward to the summer coming soon so that she could get married after graduation and couldn't wait even a minute longer.

After dinner, the family gathered around the fire to chat about daily life. It was very lively.

The phone rang in the study, and He Yuzhu got up to answer it. It was Dang Dabao who called and gave He Yuzhu a brief report on the preliminary plan for the Hope Primary School.

"Dabao, I trust you. You don't have to report everything to me. Just follow your own ideas and come back to tell me the results."

……

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu was very happy thinking that the children would not have to study in a leaky house next winter.

The news that a traditional Chinese medicine hospital was about to be built in Xicheng District of Beijing spread like wildfire. He Yuzhu knew that this was Beijing and there was no shortage of well-informed people, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Just then, He Yuzhu was discussing something with the two brothers of the Wang family at home when someone came to the door.

As soon as He Yuzhu opened the door, the other party introduced himself and said, "Brother He, I'm He Zida, the grandson of Committee Member ***." He had a permit for steel bars and cement and asked He Yuzhu if he needed it.

In the 1980s, reselling approval documents was a common practice.

He Yuzhu had also heard of He Zida, who was one of the more disciplined people in the circle of young masters.

"Brother He, what's the price? Since you're here today, the steel bars and cement I need are not a small amount. You have to give me a preferential price, otherwise, don't bother asking for it. It will hurt our relationship."

He Zida also knew that reselling approval documents required timeliness, otherwise they would lose their advantage if kept in hand for too long.

They all moved in the same circle and knew everyone's background. Even if he was gone, He Yuzhu would not be short of steel bars and cement.

"Brother He, I can get you 3,000 tons of cement. My purchase price for cement is 170 yuan per ton. I can also get you 1,500 tons of steel bars. The price for steel bars is 900 yuan per ton. Just give me the hard-earned money for one ton."

If he wants to survive in society, He Yuzhu knows that he can't do it alone and he still has to make friends.

The price given by He Zida can be said to be quite low. He Yuzhu knew that a dual-track system was now being implemented and cement on the market was at least two hundred yuan per ton, and steel bars were over one thousand eleven yuan. Considering He Yuzhu's large quantity, the price must be high. There was no other way, as infrastructure was being built everywhere now.

Everyone carries the fancy sedan, and since He Zida is giving him so much face, he still has to let him earn what he deserves.

"Brother He, I won't hesitate. I'll add fifty bucks to a ton of cement and one hundred bucks to a ton of steel bars. What do you think?"

Although the price given by He Yuzhu was still a little lower than the market price, He Zida knew in his heart that his quotation was partially false, and now the price given by He Yuzhu was considered very sincere.

So he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Brother He, you are still generous. Deal."

After the two men agreed to complete the transaction at Hongbinlou at noon tomorrow, He Zida tactfully said he had something to do and left.

Although the two brothers of the Wang family had come into contact with many dignitaries, this was the first time they had seen such a large transaction being concluded in just a few words.

"Zhu Zi, just by doing this, that He guy made 300,000 yuan from you?"

"Brother Yuan, not only are you good at picking out the medicine, but you're also fast at calculating. You underestimated. He will make at least 500,000 yuan from this deal."

After thinking about it carefully, the two brothers understood the reason.

"Zhu Zi, then who should we entrust to build our traditional Chinese medicine hospital?"
