Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Zhao Qianjin saw that it was He Yuzhu, so he also came over to chat. Zhao Qianjin looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Chef He, I didn't expect it to be you this time. I want to go to the countryside today to try my luck and see if there are any good girls." He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Boy, if your mother agrees to let you marry a country girl, she will skin you alive."

Zhao Qianjin said nonchalantly, "It's just for fun, not really marrying." He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly, but was very disdainful in his heart. This bastard is not a good person, no wonder he hangs out with Jia Dongxu every day. He smiled politely and said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck."

Zhao Qianjin asked with a smile, "Chef He, don't you want to find one?" He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry." Zhao Qianjin nodded, after all, what He Yuzhu said made sense. After chatting with a few acquaintances for a while, this time the driver Zhou Dong came over.

Zhou Dong is a man in his 40s, with a dark face but a smile on his face. He came over and said hello to He Yuzhu, then looked at the people around him and said, "Didn't the factory tell you to take the long-distance bus to Qinjiazhuang? With so many people, can we carry them all with one truck?"

Many people in this era are reluctant to take the bus, not because they are stingy, but because of the great pressure from their families. They have to support their parents and their younger brothers and sisters. In short, the pressure is very great. They have to spend every penny wisely, and they will take advantage of it if they can.

Gao Dashan said, "Driver Zhou, why can't you load it? It's such a big car, we just need to squeeze in." Zhou Dong nodded and asked everyone to get on the car. He Yuzhu and Aunt Ma sat in the passenger seat.

For the safety of the people in the car, Zhou Dong drove very slowly. Fearing any accidents, he drove slowly on the mountain road. Qinjiazhuang is about 20 miles away from the capital, and it takes about an hour to get there by car. The road outside the city is very tortuous, and He Yuzhu felt very bumpy when sitting in the driver's seat.

After handing Zhou Dong a cigarette, he asked, "This road is really bad, it's bumpy." Zhou Dong smiled and said, "This road is pretty good. I've seen roads worse than this one." He Yuzhu thought for a while and asked curiously, "Master Zhou, is it safe to go to the countryside? I heard that there are bandits in the countryside sometimes."

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "I have encountered bandits before. But they don't dare to rob us who drive big trucks. When we go out, we always carry guns. No one dares to fight us." He Yuzhu asked curiously, "I envy you for being able to carry a gun."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Just get a gun license." He Yuzhu patted his head. Guns are not banned in this era. The two chatted in the car, and the more they talked, the more they felt speculative. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Master Zhou to have so much experience. Aunt Ma, when Master Zhou comes to our canteen to get food in the future, you have to get more dishes."

Aunt Ma nodded with a smile, and Zhou Dong was happy to hear that, and said thank you to He Yuzhu. But he didn't expect that the car would stop moving as soon as he finished speaking. Zhou Dong sighed and said, "Damn it, the car broke down again." Zhou Dong got out of the car cursing and skillfully took the tools to repair it.

He Yuzhu also jumped out of the car to take a look. It was a very typical old truck. He Yuzhu could not tell the style of the car, but he knew that it was very old. Zhou Dong said, "Hey, I wonder how long this old truck can last?" He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Master Zhou, is this car very old?"

Zhou Dong curled his lips and said, "I heard that this truck was captured from the Japanese, and it's been more than ten years now. After being repaired and patched up, it has made great contributions to our steel mill. I don't know when I can drive a brand new truck."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll be able to drive one in the future." Zhou Dong was delighted when he heard that. After he screwed in the last screw, he said, "My life has been tough enough. Now if my grandson can drive a brand new truck, I'll have better eyesight in the future."

He Yuzhu smiled and joked, "Then your family will be a truck family in the future." Zhou Dong was obviously very happy about the four words "truck family" and said, "Then I will borrow your good words." Master Zhou's skills are very good, and the truck started to move quickly. The speed was naturally very slow. After shaking for nearly two hours, the group finally arrived at Qinjiazhuang.

The village head and secretary of Qinjiazhuang had been waiting impatiently, followed by a large group of girls. Among the girls, there was a girl who was wearing very shabby clothes and had two ponytails. Compared with the other girls, she was obviously very inferior.

Qinjiazhuang village chief Qin Dadaner came over and said to He Yuzhu and his party, "Welcome, fellow workers. Long live the fellow workers." He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle village chief. Where is the canteen? I'm the chef this time. I have to go down and prepare something."

Qin Dadan nodded and said, "The canteen is arranged in our village branch. I didn't expect that this young comrade is a great chef." He Yuzhu said, "You are flattering me." The propaganda officer of the factory had already arrived. The propaganda officer knew He Yuzhu. He walked over and said, "Master He, I have been waiting for a long time."

He Yuzhu said, "There's nothing we can do. The truck broke down on the road and delayed us for some time." The propaganda officer nodded, and whispered to He Yuzhu, "Let me tell you, many big leaders are here today. Director Yang said that you must show your ability and win honor for our steel mill."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I just want to eat this bowl of rice, don't worry, Secretary Liu." He Yuzhu took Aunt Ma to the kitchen. The dishes were very well prepared, and there were also a few chickens and ducks. It seemed that these chickens and ducks were prepared for those leaders. He Yuzhu thought about what dishes to cook in his mind. Thinking that it was still early to cook, he came out for a walk.

There is a large square next to the village party committee, and many people are gathered in the square. Strangely, there are more women than men in the square. This makes He Yuzhu very curious. After asking around, he found out that this square does not only include Qinjiazhuang, but also all the girls of marriageable age who want to marry in the city are here.
