Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Welcoming October, the National Day Parade has just passed and the festive atmosphere seems to still linger in the air.

The first five-year plan exceeded its targets, and this year's National Day ceremony was even more grand.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle into the morning light, blending in with the crowd of office workers, heading to his workplace, which he had not visited for a long time.

Walking forward and turning a few corners, I saw a familiar building in the distance.

I haven't been here for such a long time, but the gate is still the same, nothing has changed.

He Yuzhu parked his bicycle in front of the sentry box skillfully according to his old habit.

Facing Uncle Zeng's gaze, he smiled and bowed to greet him: "Uncle, long time no see! You seem to be in good spirits!"

Uncle Zeng had already stood up, walked outside, and patted He Yuzhu's arm enthusiastically.

"I thought you were left behind and would never come back. Not bad, you're still so strong."

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette case and handed him a cigarette quickly: "Look at what you said, since you are transferred, you must be back, right?"

Uncle Zeng reached out to take the cigarette, smiled and didn't refute.

With He Yuzhu's cooking skills, he was transferred there and naturally he was able to stay.

Now that I'm back, there are benefits to coming back.

"Okay, nothing went wrong in the cafeteria during the time you were transferred away.

Go to the cafeteria first, and we'll talk later. By the way, thank you for the Mid-Autumn Festival gift."

There are many relatives and friends who need to be visited during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and He Yuzhu is really overwhelmed.

He could only choose a few families and visit them home with gifts.

The rest is to arrange for the gift to be delivered. Even though it’s not a lot, it’s enough as long as it arrives.

Uncle Zeng's family was no exception and received a gift from He Yuzhu.

Two mooncakes plus a few pastries, all of which were their favorite types, and were full of thoughtfulness.

"Sir, you're welcome! I was really busy and didn't come to visit you. Please forgive me."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately responded politely.

Uncle Zeng waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Alright, alright, you kid, just get out of here!"

"Okay! Then let's make an appointment to have a drink together."

He Yuzhu glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost time, so he didn't waste any more time. He greeted everyone and walked inside.

I locked my bicycle in the bicycle shed and walked quickly towards the cafeteria.

As soon as I arrived at the office door, I heard noisy voices inside.

"Sister Liang, did you go to this parade? The scene was so spectacular, even more spectacular than the one in 1949!"

Wu Zhiqiang had his back to the door and was describing the lively scene with saliva flying.

Shi Sheng was listening intently. He turned around to get a cup of water to drink when he saw He Yuzhu coming towards him.

He was stunned when he suddenly saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

But he quickly came to his senses, put his hands on the table and stood up quickly.

The chair he was sitting on was pushed backwards by his movements, making a harsh sound.

"Wow, Brother Sheng. Although I admit that I'm talking about a big scene, you don't have to be like this, right?"

Wu Zhiqiang hadn't seen the person coming yet, and thought that his words made Shi Sheng like this, so he couldn't help but tease him.

Liang Yinghong, on the other hand, was sharp-eyed and noticed that Shi Sheng was looking behind Wu Zhiqiang. Naturally, his loss of composure was not because of Wu Zhiqiang.

She leaned over to look behind Wu Zhiqiang and immediately saw He Yuzhu approaching.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then he exclaimed, with surprise in his tone.

"Director He, is your mission over?"

Shi Sheng followed closely behind and greeted He Yuzhu: "Hello, Director!"

When Wu Zhiqiang heard this, his expression changed and he thought to himself that something was wrong. It was possible that Shi Sheng was teasing him.

Liang Yinghong also said hello, it turned out that He Yuzhu was back again.

His mind raced, and without delay, he turned around and saw a familiar face.

"Hello, Director! You are finally back! That's great."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake hands before Shi Sheng could.

Uncle Zeng said that nothing went wrong in the cafeteria, which showed that they worked very hard.

Regardless of whether it was due to other reasons, at least the job was done honestly without any trouble.

He Yuzhu doesn't really care about this position, he just wants a quiet place with less troubles.

I don't want to create any intrigue over these little things.

"Old Wu, it seems like you've had a good life this year! Remember to give me my wedding candy."

Wu Zhiqiang is now a lot fatter than last year, which is obviously a good thing.

Hearing He Yuzhu's joke, Wu Zhiqiang let go of his hand and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Now that he has eaten the wedding candy, if he has a child next time, he can naturally invite He Yuzhu.

Isn't this the beginning of their relationship? How can I not make him happy?

"Director, your wedding candy is indispensable! If you hadn't reminded me, I don't know how long the wedding would have lasted."

When Wu Zhiqiang was transferred, he didn't expect it would take so long and didn't leave any contact information.

When it was time for him to get married, he didn't get in touch with He Yuzhu, which made him feel a little regretful.

It would be such an honor to ask He Yuzhu to be the chef at the wedding banquet.

"Okay, I'll give you a gift when you become a father." He Yuzhu patted him on the shoulder and held the hand that Shi Sheng extended to him.

Hearing this, Wu Zhiqiang happily gave up his place and walked back to his seat.

His wife is already pregnant, so it won't be long before he gets the gift. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have this unexpected gain?

After exchanging a few words with Shi Sheng, He Yuzhu turned around and took the teacup handed to him by Liang Hongying.

"Sister Liang, thank you very much! Thank you for your hard work during this period.

This weekend, let's have a meal at Bian Yi Fang as a way of thanking you all."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them looked even happier.

"Director, isn't this too expensive? We can just eat something casually."

Liang Hongying glanced at the other two people, hesitated for a moment, and then said no.

He Yuzhu took in all the changes in their expressions and waved his hand: "It's okay, just once.

Logically, I should be the one to treat everyone. I was transferred this time to cook for others, and I really don't want to host banquets anymore.

Please don't refuse anymore, just consider it as your understanding of me."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed, as if the changes just now had never happened.

"Director, you are so particular! I haven't eaten roast duck for a long time, so this is a good treat.

I didn’t expect that after getting married, the money in my pocket would be so tight.”

Wu Zhiqiang took over the conversation, amused himself for a while, and quietly turned the page on the matter.

"Haha~ Who told you to spend money recklessly instead of saving it? Now you know the disadvantages of having no money!"

Shi Sheng teased him a few times. He knew very well what kind of person Wu Zhiqiang was in the past few years.

After persuading him several times, seeing that he still insisted on doing his own thing, I stopped trying to dissuade him and respected his personal choice.

"Director, please chat with them here and learn about the latest situation in the cafeteria.

I'll help you clean the office. I think there's a lot of dust in there."

He Yuzhu did not refuse. He handed the office key to Liang Hongying and turned to chat with the two of them.
