Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

An hour later, He Yuzhu and Liu Lan got the contract for half of the shares of the Beibingyang Soda Factory.

The reason why He Yuzhu did not take a 51% controlling stake is because the soft drink factory is still state-owned and it is impossible for private individuals to control it.

Being able to get half of the shares is already a great bargain.

"Zhu Zi, you are now the boss of the Beibingyang Soda Factory. What are you going to do next?"

He Yuzhu looked at the sky, let out a long sigh and said.

"We went to the bakery and then to the food processing plant."

He Yuzhu wants to open a fast food chain similar to KFC and McDonald's.

Before these two fast food giants come to this country, He Yuzhu wants to make his fast food restaurant famous.

It took almost ten years for McDonald's to enter the Chinese market.

He Yuzhu vaguely remembers that McDonald's entered the country in the 1990s, but he doesn't remember the exact month.

Ten years is enough time to run your own business.

So he needs stable factories for processing beverages, bread, steaks and French fries.

He only needs to hold a certain amount of shares. There is no need to open one himself. He does not have the energy to take care of these things.

As for sending your own trusted people to monitor the production and processing, that will be enough.

After running around for a whole day, He Yuzhu finally took over the food processing factory.

The next step is to recruit personnel and provide training in fast food production.

Fatty and Ma Hua can handle these things.

After all, they are all chefs. Western fast food dishes are not complicated. They just involve frying steaks, frying French fries and making hamburgers.

Appropriately add some domestic fast food styles. Don’t expect to make money at the beginning, but you must make a name for yourself.

As for the name, let’s go with something more domineering, called Subway.

At that time, both the country and the people were very poor, so fast food should still be targeted at children.

As parents, we will meet the needs of our children no matter how tight the family is in terms of money.

After returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu met Ma Hua in the central courtyard.

"Ma Hua, I have a task for you. Tomorrow you will call Fatty and Yu Li to do this together."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a folder and handed it to Ma Hua.

Ma Hua opened the folder and found that they were asked to recruit and train employees.

So he nodded and said.

"Master, don't worry. As long as it's related to cooking, there will be no problem if you leave it to us. You can just drink tea at home."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly.

"It would be nice if it were this way. Now I feel that there are too few people and I have to take care of everything."

At this time, He Yuzhu couldn't help but admire Lou Xiao'e.

A woman who has been struggling in Hong Kong, although she has the help of her parents and brother, it is not an exaggeration to call her a strong woman.

Now I just hope Lou Xiao'e can bring back a business team.

You are only responsible for giving advice and suggestions.

As for running errands, just leave it to others.

He Yuzhu's mind is full of various ways to make money.

I didn’t have the opportunity to show it before, but now I have the opportunity, but I find myself alone and a little overwhelmed.

Time passed day by day and everything went smoothly.

The first batch of employees recruited by MCA only had 20 people, and in fact they did not need so many people.

However, He Yuzhu recruited a total of twenty people to reserve talents for opening branches.

Just when He Yuzhu and others' feet were off the ground.

Another person appeared in the courtyard.

The man had a slight disability on his right hand, was very thin, had wheat-colored skin, and looked very healthy.

This person is the Banggeng who returned as an educated youth.

After receiving Bang Gengkai's letter saying that he would be back in the city soon, the Jia family became busy.

Xiaodang is already married, but she didn't marry too far away, just in the next compound.

After graduating from junior high school, she dropped out of school early because there was no school available for her to attend after she was admitted to high school.

Huaihua happened to encounter the education reform in 1977, and the college entrance examination was resumed in 1978. Now he has taught himself and was admitted to university.

Many educated youth who went to the countryside also actively prepared for the exam so that they could take the college entrance examination immediately after returning to the city and continue their studies after being admitted to university.

College students in this era can become civil servants upon graduation, which is a legitimate golden rice bowl.

But Banggeng had no chance. Having only studied in the first grade of junior high school, he could not understand the courses for the college entrance examination at all.

Besides, he is already 25 years old and is no longer old enough to go to school.

So he no longer had any extravagant hopes of getting into college or something, but instead came back to find a stable job and save some money to get married.

Banggeng's return is a great joy to the Jia family, but it is not good news to other people in the courtyard.

You can tell a person’s future by looking at the age of three. No matter how Banggeng changes in his life, there is a high probability that he will be a bad person.

The Jia family had a table full of delicious food, and Xiaodang returned to her parents' home with her husband and children.

Huaihua is not at home, she is living in the school dormitory.

Jia Zhang's hair had turned completely white, and she no longer dared to use her ears. She became the second generation of deaf old ladies in the courtyard and was regarded as a burden by the Jia family.

But they didn't kick her out. They just gave her a bowl of rice at every meal as long as she didn't starve to death.

Although Jia Zhang was old, when she saw her beloved grandson finally coming back, she suddenly became full of energy again.

In an instant, he seemed to become ten years younger, with bright eyes, holding the stick and looking him up and down.

"Really... really my beloved grandson is back!"

"You've lost weight... Great! Let grandma take a good look at you... You must have suffered a lot!"

Qin Huairu also shed tears.

The son that he missed day and night finally came back.

"I've been back for a few days. I went to the subdistrict office to ask. Director Wang has retired a long time ago. Now there is a director named Li. I had an in-depth conversation with him and he agreed to introduce you to a job. Where do you want to work?"

Qin Huairu said to Bang Geng seriously.

Bang Geng thought for a moment and said.

"Mom, I want to drive, let him arrange for me to drive!"

The sticky words stumped Qin Huairu.

Is it our turn to drive? Besides, do you know how to drive? I heard that you need a license to drive, and you can't drive without it.

"Great! Driving is not easy. How about we change to another one? Driving is really not good enough."

After hearing this, Banggeng was disappointed, but he didn't make a fuss.

I'm in my twenties now, and it's past the age to act foolishly.

"Okay, then I want to join the steel mill, too. I want to be an eighth-level worker like Yi Zhonghai, that old loser, and get a high salary!"

Qin Huairu felt that this request was much more reliable.

After all, Banggeng's father Jia Dongxu died in the factory, and he himself has worked in the factory for most of his life, although now he is just a second-level worker who has earned his place by doing nothing.

If Bang Geng worked for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, even if the current performance is not good, he would still have a living allowance of more than ten or twenty yuan a month, and that is free salary.

"Okay, I'll go find Director Li later. Let's eat first. I'll introduce it to you. This is Xiaodang's...!"

Soon, after Qin Huairu had an in-depth communication with Director Li, Director Li readily agreed to bring Banggeng to the Red Star Steel Mill.

But the condition is that Banggeng has made a mistake before, so Qin Huairu, as his mother, has to come over often and study criminal law with her.

Qin Huairu still refused in her heart. She was already an old woman, and she still had to endure such torture.

But there is no way. If I don’t come here to study hard, I don’t know when my son will get a job.

Just when Director Li was contentedly writing the letter of introduction for Banggeng and handing it to Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu's sad face finally broke into a smile.

Let me torture you. I have been through thick and thin. I am just an old man with white hair, and this is just like that!

When Qin Huairu went home with her legs clamped together, holding the letter of introduction from the street office, Bang Geng, who had been lifeless, suddenly became energetic.

With the letter of introduction, I can go to work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

However, he did not notice Qin Huairu's uncomfortable expression as she covered her lower abdomen. Instead, he focused on reading the letters of introduction and went back to bed, happily lying down.

"Huai Ru, Bang Geng will soon have a formal job. Our Jia family has finally come to the end of our hard times. Most of our money over the years has been sent to Bang Geng, who is an educated youth."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have married Xiaodang to a cripple for twenty dollars. We owe Xiaodang too much."

Even without Bang Geng in the family, Jia Zhang was still able to keep things fair. She also felt a little sorry for Xiao Dang for forcing her to marry a cripple.

"Forget it, Mom... Stop talking. Maybe this is Xiaodang's fate. Women always have to get married. If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog; if you marry a monkey, you will walk all over the mountain."

"Let him report to the steel mill tomorrow. Xiaodang's sacrifice will be worth it."

Qin Huairu obviously didn't want to continue this topic. His biggest wish now was that Banggeng could go to work in the factory as soon as possible.

With the letter of introduction from the street office, Banggeng's employment at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill went very smoothly.

However, the person who processed his employment application looked at Bang Geng as if he was a fool.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and the number of processing orders is pitifully small.

Those who had some ability and prospects resigned and went into business.

Now the country is vigorously promoting self-employment. You can make money by just making something outside and selling it.

The more daring ones directly become dealers, that is, smugglers, and the speed at which they make money is multiplied.

As long as they are brave enough, female ghosts will be given maternity leave.

In this way, Bang Gengjun became formal apprentices of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and he finally got a stable job.

The time finally came to the second of the next month, which was the day when Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe returned.

He Daqing also knew that his father-in-law and his family were coming back, so he began making preparations early on, wanting to show off his skills.

Widow Xia was also helping.

A few years ago, He Daqing married Widow Xia. After marriage, they loved each other very much and were inseparable wherever they went.

Widow Xia moved into the courtyard house after Ran Qiuye left. She had never seen Ran Qiuye and her friends in real life, but had only seen them in He Yuzhu's family portrait.

"Zhu Zi, the two children should be about 17 or 18 years old now. I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize them after they come back!"

Widow Xia was picking vegetables downstairs while talking to He Yuzhu who was peeling potatoes nearby.

He Yuzhu chuckled and took out a newly bought wallet from his pocket. When he opened it, there was a photo inside.

This is a photo of Ran Qiuye, her mother and her two sons.

Ran Qiuye is already so young, and the two children have grown up.

He Xiao is a bit like He Yuzhu, but more like Ran Qiuye.

You can tell from his figure that he is very tall and looks handsome and sunny.

He Ye is even more beautiful.

With an oval face, fair skin, big eyes and a high nose, she looks like a lotus flower emerging from water.

When He Yuzhu saw his two children, his eyes became a little moist. It had been six years since he last saw his children.

"dad!"

"dad!"

He Xiao and He Ye shouted at the same time, and then rushed towards He Yuzhu, He Daqing and others.

Hugging the two children, He Yuzhu, a man who had been strong all his life, finally couldn't stop his tears.

He started to cry.

He didn't cry when his father abandoned him.

He didn't cry when he had the hard time raising his sister alone.

He didn't cry when he was ostracized by everyone in the hospital.

But now he started to sob bitterly.

Just like a young wife who has been wronged.

Ran Qiuye walked up to He Yuzhu and patted him on the back gently.

He Yushui, who was standing aside, also couldn't stop sobbing.

Her brother has lived alone for so many years. When she came to visit him more than once, she saw her brother secretly crying in front of the old family photo.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. My brother... has suffered so much!"

He Yushui finally couldn't stop crying and threw herself into Ran Qiuye's arms, crying loudly.

What should have been a happy reunion turned out to be more like a grievance meeting.

Lou Xiao'e also stood behind Ran Qiuye and the others with a boy of about eleven or twelve years old.

"Mommy, is that Uncle He, our family's benefactor?"

The boy was Lou Xiao'e's son.

In Hong Kong, Lou Xiao'e married into another wealthy family. It was a family marriage, and after integrating the two businesses, they became the leading family in Hong Kong.

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"Harry, that was Uncle He who risked his life to save my grandparents and helped our family escape to Hong Kong Island. You have to remember, as long as Uncle He needs us, even if it means all our property, we will give it to him with both hands, because without Uncle He, there would be no mother's family, and no you, understand!"

Harry nodded. Although he didn't quite understand, since his mother said so, it must be right.

And this Uncle He seems to be a really good person.

The neighbors all gathered around to watch the fun, because Ran Qiuye and her friends were back after six years.

He Yuzhu also noticed Lou Xiao'e behind Ran Qiuye, and quickly wiped his tears and walked over.

"Sister Xiao'e, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Lou Xiao'e nodded with a smile and pushed her son in front of He Yuzhu.

"This is my son, Chen Zhuoyi, his English name is Harry."

He Yuzhu looked down at Lou Xiao'e's son, smiled and touched his face.

"Harry, the prince means that the young man is very energetic, not bad, I like it. Okay, let's go inside first, there are too many people outside!"
