Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Until the evening, Xu Huizhen finally heard the system's prompt sound: "Congratulations host, the farming space is in place and connected to your previous emergency space."

Xu Huizhen quickly urged her mind to enter the space and found that there was a corner door on the east wall of the original space. After exiting the corner door, a piece of farmland appeared in front of her, which was estimated to be ten acres in area.

The most gratifying thing is that crops have been planted in the fields. Xu Huizhen squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. The soil was black and oily and looked good.

The ten acres of land was divided into four small plots, planted with wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts. It was so worry-free, she didn't have to look for grain seeds herself.

In the following days, He Yuzhu rode his beloved bicycle to Xu Huizhen's house to check in. Sometimes he would bring ingredients to cook a good meal. Or he would use Sundays to buy coal briquettes and food for the family, or play with the children when he had nothing to do.

Xu Huizhen tactfully advised him not to come again, but He Yuzhu said confidently: "If you want to act, you have to do it in full. You are married, but there is no trace of a man in your home. Who would believe it if you told others? Besides, I did it according to our agreement. We are husband and wife in name only, not in reality."

Xu Huizhen had no idea that this silly Zhuzi was full of bad intentions and was planning to turn the fake play into real one.

This sentence choked back the words that Xu Huizhen was about to say. She sighed and said, "Oh, whatever happens."

Hu Yingzi was quite happy, because He Yuzhu did all the housework, so she had more time to embroider cross stitch. And He Yuzhu's cooking skills were really good. She could also take the opportunity to learn how to make a few home-cooked dishes.

On this day, He Yuzhu was cooking in the kitchen. Hu Yingzi asked shyly, "Brother Zhuzi, can you teach me how to cook some home-cooked dishes? Of course, I don't want to learn your skills as a housekeeper."

He Yuzhu: "Yingzi also wants to be a chef?"

Hu Yingzi shook her head and said, "No. Sister Huizhen said that if you want to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach. I just want to cook for Brother Jianshe and firmly hold his stomach."

He Yuzhu asked in surprise: "Does Yingzi like Xu Jianshe? You want to get married at such a young age?"

Hu Yingzi was not shy at all and said firmly: "Brother Jianshe is the fiancé chosen for me by Sister Huizhen. He is tall and strong, and he is also good at work. I must win his heart."

He Yuzhu: "What does it mean to tie up his stomach?"

Hu Yingzi: "Brother Zhuzi, are you stupid? If I cook well and make Brother Jianshe want to eat the next meal after this one, he will be inseparable from me. Hehe. His stomach won't accept it if he doesn't cook for me."

Looking at Hu Yingzi's cunning expression, He Yuzhu complained in his heart: "You are stupid, you are stupid Yingzi. But you reminded me of one thing: if you want to tie Xu Huizhen's heart, you must first tie her stomach."

So, He Yuzhu used the excuse of practicing cooking skills to cook for Xu Huizhen in different ways every day. Although Xu Huizhen enjoyed the food, she was still not used to having a man in her family.

So, she wanted to divert He Yuzhu's attention and find him something to do. After dinner that day, she asked, "Zhuzi, you can't be a big cook all your life, do you want to be promoted to a canteen director or something?"

He Yuzhu said: "Of course I want to, but I'm too young and I just became a squad leader. There is basically no hope of promotion recently."

Xu Huizhen: "Man proposes, God disposes. Look, I'm still young, but I'm going to be the factory director. As long as you perform well, nothing is impossible."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Huizhen, what you said makes sense."

Xu Huizhen is really a big liar: "The first thing you need to do is to improve your cooking skills. You need to gradually master the lifelong experience of your father and your master. If some big boss is amazed by your cooking skills in the future and says something good about you, it won't be difficult for you to get a promotion and a raise."

Xu Huizhen was not saying this blindly. In the original plot, a senior leader fell in love with He Yuzhu, and the two of them fell in love with each other and became friends regardless of age difference.

He Yuzhu: "I know this. I'm a cook. I'll have to rely on my cooking skills to make a living in this life."

Xu Huizhen continued to persuade them: "Establish a good image among the masses. For example, when serving food to workers, you cannot use your position to stir the spoon for others. Food is so important these days. Steel mills are all about hard physical work, and we must ensure that everyone has enough food."

He Yuzhu asked in surprise: "Huizhen, how do you know that our cafeteria often flips the spoon for people we don't like?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "What kind of place is a tavern? All kinds of people are well-informed there." The tavern is a universal shield.

He Yuzhu: "You are wise!"

Xu Huizhen: "Take in two apprentices with good character and teach them cooking skills sincerely. Of course, you can keep your own special skills and teach them to cook big pot dishes. You don't have to carry a big spoon every day. It's so easy to be a master chef. People will be rewarded with people's hearts. If you are sincere to your apprentices, they will return the favor. It takes three to make a hero. It takes three to make a fence. If you work in a factory, you must have a few helpers, right?"

Xu Huizhen's words touched He Yuzhu's heart. He nodded and said, "I have accepted an apprentice now, named Ma Hua, who is learning cooking from me. He is a good person."

Xu Huizhen knew that Ma Hua was a man of good character, so she said, "Since you have accepted him as your apprentice, you should train him well. Share some of the leftovers in the cafeteria with him and other employees. You and your sister are not short of that. You can see that I have a salary and dividends from the tavern, so I am not short of food. So don't bring lunch boxes home every day, it will easily give people a chance to criticize you. Also, when you encounter a problem, you should deal with it calmly and don't hit people at every turn. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, the next best is to attack his alliances, and the worst is to attack his city. It means that solving problems by force is the worst strategy. If you want to be a leader, you must establish a good image for everyone in the factory and in the courtyard. Which leader in your factory is always shouting and shouting about fighting and killing? Do you think I am right?"

He Yuzhu: "Huizhen, you really know me better than I do. You see my shortcomings clearly. I must pay attention to it in the future."

Xu Huizhen: "In my opinion, you are quite talkative. You should be more careful when you speak in the future. Say what you should say and don't say what you shouldn't say. Too much talk leads to mistakes. You know that disaster comes from the mouth."

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly: "I know Huizhen, you are doing this for my own good. I will remember it all."

Xu Huizhen: "You should also maintain a good relationship with your immediate superior. With your second uncle Cai Quanwu around, you can occasionally help the factory purchase some scarce ingredients and help the superior solve problems. If the superior doesn't promote you, who will he promote? If one day you become the director, and everyone calls you Director He wherever you go, wouldn't you feel happy?"

He Yuzhu laughed, "So beautiful, so beautiful that I am about to burst into tears. Alas, after my father ran off to Baoding, there was no elder at home to give me advice. It was Yi Zhonghai, the old gangster, who led me astray, and that's how I developed some bad habits. Thank you for reminding me today. I will work hard in the future and strive to become Director He. Hehe."

In her previous life, Xu Huizhen not only read "Love in Courtyard", but also read several fan fictions about Courtyard on Tomato. The descriptions of He Yuzhu in them were varied and there were many different opinions. She couldn't remember what the correct version was. In short, she would correct what was wrong and encourage what was right. She talked a lot and pointed out He Yuzhu's shortcomings with only one purpose, which was to prevent him from following the old path of the original plot.

Xu Huizhen believed that after such brainwashing, He Yuzhu would focus his main energy on work and would not have so much free time to run to her house.
