Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"That's right, Master, you may not know me, but you must know my father. I'll show you a photo later and you'll understand."

After He Yuzhu helped Deng Lao sit down, he joked: "Young comrade, please bring the photo to me, otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal in peace."

Elder Deng remembered something and smiled. However, Ren Zhengfei, who was sitting on the right hand side of Elder Deng, was a little confused. He thought, "Comrade He looks about the same age as me. How can he be so outstanding?"

"Master, please wait a moment. The photo is in the duty room. I will get it right away."

After saying this, he started running, despite weighing nearly 200 pounds, and was quite agile.

Nurse Xinxin standing by was also wondering, how come this guest of Grandpa Deng became Luo Ruian's master?

He Yuzhu saw a strong fire of gossip in nurse Xinxin's eyes. How did he become the target of gossip?

Old Master Deng drank his soup happily and joked: "Zhu Zi, your head is buzzing, right? I became a master teacher at such an old age, and you only took half the time to achieve my achievements. So, I am not as good as you."

He Yuzhu blushed a little after being teased by Mr. Deng, even though his face was as thick as steel. He just hoped that the little fat boy would come back soon.

Fortunately, the awkward moment didn't last long, and Luo Ruian came back trotting with the photos.

"Master, look, the little guy next to you is my father, Luo Jinbao."

He Yuzhu took it and took a look, then he understood. Wasn't this a photo he took with the chefs in the Gobi Desert when he went there?

"Xiao Luo, I know your father Lao Luo, but we are peers. You shouldn't call me Master."

Luo Rui'an scratched his head and said seriously: "Master, my father and my uncles and grandfathers all told us that you taught them the craft step by step at that time, and never kept anything to yourself. Although we were not master and apprentice in name, we were master and apprentice in reality, so you asked us to carry the photo with us at all times, in order to warn future generations who we learned our craft from."

He Yuzhu never expected that, at that time, he just wanted to make the food more delicious so that the researchers could eat more comfortably, but he never thought that Lao Luo and others could do this.

Looking at Xiao Luo who was about the same age as him, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Luo, I am a few years older than you, but I am not worthy of being called your master."

Xiao Luo shook his head like a rattle and said with regret: "Master, my father passed away seven or eight years ago. Before he left, he specifically asked me to always carry the photo with me. If I have the chance to meet you, let me call you Master."

When He Yuzhu heard that Lao Luo was gone, he was very sad for a moment. He didn't expect that after meeting his old friend, he would never see him again.

"Xiao Luo, your father's former comrades are all in Beijing, I'll give you an address, we can get together when we have time."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a small notebook from his pocket, wrote down his home address and handed it to Luo Ruian.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to accept Xiao Luo's call of "son master", since this was one of Lao Luo's last wishes.

Luo Ruian took the note from He Yuzhu, nodded heavily and agreed: "Master, when I'm off duty, I'll bring the uncles to visit you."

"Master, Mr. Deng, I won't bother you guys to discuss important matters. Just call me if you have anything to say."

After saying this, he retreated tactfully.

Old Master Deng put down the bowl in his hand and sighed.

"Alas, the number of old friends in the Gobi Desert is decreasing."

Ren Zhengfei on the side thought: "Is this something I can listen to? Can I still get out of this door later?"

Elder Deng also noticed Ren Zhengfei's discomfort and said with a smile: "Xiao Ren, I'm sorry that my sadness has caused you inconvenience, but I guarantee that no one will embarrass you."

Ren Zhengfei thanked the old man for his understanding and said sincerely: "Mr. Deng, thank you."

Elder Deng waved his hand and continued, "Xiao Ren, I came to you this time to ask for your opinion. I heard from Qian that you want to quit your job at the Shenzhen Nanhai Oil Base and start your own business?"

Ren Zhengfei didn't expect that his little thought would alarm the two big bosses. He was a little embarrassed. The reason was that he was short of money and could not even come up with 20,000 yuan at most.

"Old man, to be honest, I do have the idea of ​​going into business, but I am short of money, so I am thinking of working for another year and then quitting next year."

"Xiao Ren, you are supposed to be very talented in engineering construction, but Lao Qian and I think your idea is very good, so I would like to introduce He Yuzhu to you."

Ren Zhengfei was at a crossroads in his life at this time. Having just divorced his original wife, he urgently needed a career to prove himself. Although he didn't know how he had done something to please Mr. Deng and Mr. Qian, he trusted them from the bottom of his heart and was willing to believe in the people they introduced to him.

"Hello, Comrade He. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Ren Zhengfei."

After getting Ren Zhengfei's personal confirmation, He Yuzhu suppressed his excitement and quickly extended his hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Ren, nice to meet you, He Yuzhu."

When Mr. Deng saw that the matchmaking mission was completed, he immediately ordered the guests to leave when he thought about how he still had a lot of things to do.

"Zhu Zi, Xiao Ren, now that you two know each other, don't scare an old man like me from working. After dinner, go out and find a place to chat."

He Yuzhu and Ren Zhengfei were also very tactful. They quickly stood up and said to Mr. Deng: "Grandpa, you are busy, please take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, you won't be able to see old Marx for a while."

After watching the old man leave, He Yuzhu and Ren Zhengfei smiled at each other and said, "It's uncomfortable to talk here, Comrade Ren, how about we go out and talk?"

"Comrade He, I was thinking the same thing. You are the host, so please go first."

Before leaving, He Yuzhu did not forget to wave and say hello to Luo Ruian.

After leaving the gate of the scientific research base, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in tacit understanding, and instantly, they felt a lot more relaxed.

"Comrade Ren, if you don't mind, how about coming to my house? I'll show you my skills."

Ren Zhengfei also had a good impression of He Yuzhu, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Comrade He, I'm sorry to bother you then."

Arriving at the He family's house, Ren Zhengfei did not expect that He Yuzhu's house was a private house with its own courtyard. It looked like a wealthy family, and it felt even more "noble" than his ex-wife's house.

"Comrade He, I'm sorry to come here empty-handed."

He Yuzhu also read Ren Zhengfei's Baidu Encyclopedia in later life and knew that he was in a period of confusion.

"Old Ren, what are you talking about? This will be your home in the capital from now on."
