Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 127: Not Pregnant for So Many Years

Hey, if we just improve the heating furnace a little bit, can the effect be so significant?

I returned to the office a little dazed, and when I looked up, the headline of the newspaper on the desk jumped into my eyes.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but tremble the corners of his mouth, he took a long breath, and said to himself:

I really don't plan to do anything earth-shattering, I just want to tinker with a dough mixer.

"Great news! The whole country celebrates! The quality of stainless steel welding rods independently developed by my country exceeds that of Europe and the United States, far exceeding the international top level, and has greatly enriched the country's foreign exchange reserves..."

The matter of stainless steel welding rods is too far away from us, so there is no need to worry about it.

He Yuzhu originally thought that the heating furnace issue would be resolved in a year or two at most.

Unexpectedly, even in 65, there are still people coming to visit and learn.

that period of time,

Because Director Yang and an old man were involved in the renovation of the heating furnace, they often traveled to various places to guide the upgrading and renovation of the heating furnace.

Because of this,

The uncle, a level 9 fitter, was promoted to an engineer at the steel mill, earning a level 102 technician salary of 5 yuan per month. Although Director Yang's position remained unchanged, he was still a section-level employee, but his salary increased by one level, from level 18 to level 17, earning 101 yuan per month.

Over the years, He Yuzhu has remained relatively unknown and has not made any major moves.

But because of this innovation of dough mixer, the salary was raised from level 20 to level 19, and I can get 80 yuan per month.

This is already the maximum salary for deputy section chiefs. If you want to increase it further, you have to work hard to become a section chief.

As for the position of cafeteria monitor, he had already handed it over to someone else.

In 62, Liu Lan suddenly asked to learn cooking from him, and Yu Li also joined in the fun.

He Yuzhu thought that teaching one was the same as teaching three, so he agreed.

The main thing is that, in addition to diligence, cooking skills also require some talent, so he doesn't mind teaching. After all, it's their own problem if they can't learn it.

As a result, he originally wanted Ma Hua to take over as the canteen monitor.

Unexpectedly, the one who made the fastest progress in cooking skills is Yu Li, who has already reached the elementary level of Cooking Iv3.

Ma Hua is only at Iv2, and Liu Lan is still at Iv1. Although her cooking skills are average, she is very tactful in dealing with people and can be considered to have some skills in management.

In the kitchen, whoever has the best cooking skills has the say.

As a result, Yu Li, who had outstanding cooking skills, became the canteen monitor. Although she was at level 10 like other cooks and earned 27 yuan a month, she also received an additional 5 yuan monitor subsidy.

As for the big pot dishes,

He Yuzhu also left the work to her and drank tea and read newspapers in the office every day.

Occasionally, when there is a special banquet, he will personally take charge of the cooking.

It's another quiet day in the cafeteria office.

He Yuzhu put down the newspaper and looked out the window. Lou Xiao'e was whispering with Zhou Xiaobai, who was almost fifteen years old.

In the past few years, Zhou Xiaobai came here often and became very familiar with Lou Xiaoe. The little girl was growing up gradually, but for the sake of delicious food, she still sweetly called her "Sister E".

After watching for a while,

He Yuzhu glanced at the date on the newspaper again.

Before we knew it, it was already 65 years ago, and it was time to persuade the Lou family to move away.

Over the years, he went to the Lou family for dinner every two months, and they had become quite close friends.

He Yuzhu thought that maybe Mother Lou would be able to listen to some of his words.

Just thinking about this,

Before I knew it, I had gotten off work.

Zhou Xiaobai went to find her father.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe rode their bikes home.

When I got home, I saw the four-year-old Xiao Huaihua.

Lou Xiao'e immediately went forward happily, picked her up, and kissed her again and again.

"Little Sophora japonica, do you miss your aunt?"

"I miss you, I miss you, Aunt E. Little Huaihua has missed you six times today." Little Huaihua spoke in a baby voice and was very cute.

"Really? Then I have to see if you really miss me in your heart..."

"No, Auntie, it's itchy..."

He Yuzhu looked at the scene quietly with gentle eyes.

In recent years, he and Lou Xiao'e have not had any children.

It's not that I'm taking contraceptive measures, and there's nothing wrong with my body.

He has mastered Chinese medicine skills and is well aware that both he and Lou Xiao'e are in good health.

But not having children is ultimately a problem.

He thought about it and thought that perhaps it was his extraordinary physical fitness that was at work.

In nature, the more powerful an individual is, the harder it is to have offspring.

He wasn't sure whether this was the case or not, but it was a fact that he had no children.

Regarding children’s issues,

He Yuzhu is open-minded. Having something is good, but even if he doesn’t have it, he still feels that his current life is good.

But Lou Xiao'e had different ideas.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but gradually she began to be distracted by herself, and she liked playing with little Sophora japonica more and more.

At first, He Yuzhu thought he understood the old man's feelings for accepting Xiao Huaihua as his granddaughter.

When I saw Lou Xiao'e's expression, I realized that I didn't really understand.

Only by experiencing it personally can you understand the pressure a woman without children has to bear.

This pressure comes not only from the eyes of people around you, but more from the self-oppression within yourself.

It is precisely because Lou Xiao'e often plays with children,

Over the years, He Yuzhu is no longer so averse to the two children.

After all, all he saw were the children's innocent and beautiful smiles and laughter.

Watch them quietly for a while.

He Yuzhu sighed in his heart and turned to go into the house.

If possible, he also hopes that they can have a child.

But no matter how advanced his Chinese medicine skills were, he was powerless to do anything about this kind of thing, after all, there was nothing wrong with the health of both of them.

next door,

Qin Huairu looked out the window quietly.

He sighed leisurely.

Three years.

I thought that becoming relatives with the uncle and aunt would somewhat ease the relationship with He Yuzhu.

I don’t ask to go back to the past, and I don’t have any other thoughts. I just hope we can communicate normally.

However, this wish has become a luxury.

In the past three years, the two of them have spoken no more than three sentences in total.

We see each other every day, yet it seems as if we are living in two parallel worlds.

It seems that there is only work and responsibility in his world.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e in the courtyard,

Qin Huairu's almost dead heart began to sparkle again.
