Chapter 3 Xu Fugui came to the door

Xu Fugui has suffered a lot over the years.

According to Xu Fugui himself, this was retribution.

When I was a child, the Xu family was a big landlord in Xujiachuan.

Xu Fugui had no shortage of food and clothing, and he even married Chen Jiazhen, the daughter of a nearby grain merchant.

Later, he was framed by Ryuji and lost all his family property, and his mother became seriously ill.

When Xu Fugui was getting medicine for his mother, he was drafted into the army.

Bald men are notoriously unscrupulous in conscripting men. No matter young or old, as long as you have healthy limbs and wear a yellow uniform, they will declare you a soldier.

Anyone who dares to escape will be treated as a deserter and shot directly.

Xu Fugui spent two years as a soldier in fear.

After finally holding out until the surrender and leaving the army to return to his hometown in Tianjin, Xu Fugui found that his entire family was missing.

Later he found out that his wife Chen Jiazhen and the children had gone to look for him.

Xu Fugui missed his wife and children, so he carried a shadow puppet box on his back and begged on the street while looking for his wife and children.

Chen Jiazhen had been away from Tianjin for three years.

This was during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there were strict investigations on roaming refugees. Xu Fugui could not go far each time and was sent back to his hometown.

I don’t know what Xu Fugui is thinking. He is very stubborn about finding a wife and children.

If one year doesn’t work, try two years.

If the south doesn’t work, go north.

Xu Fugui searched again and again, and finally found some clues.

This happened six years later.

This spring, Xu Fugui saved some money and came out again in April.

Six years of continuous running around made Xu Fugui look particularly old.

Xu Fugui, who is not even thirty years old, already has gray hair.

Every day before dawn, he would walk through the streets shaking a rattle in his hand.

this day.

Xu Fugui walked to a gatehouse and knocked on the door. After a while, a little girl came out.

Fengxia looked at the old and ugly Xu Fugui with a bad look. She hated men who knocked on the door the most.

"who are you?"

"Little girl, I, I want to ask someone if there is a woman named Chen Jiazhen here..."

"no!"

Fengxia snorted coldly and slammed the wooden door shut.

As expected, it’s the stinky man who is looking for his own mother.

None of these men are good people. They all have bad intentions and try to take advantage of my mother.

Xu Fugui looked at the door with a wry smile, sighed deeply, turned the rattle, and walked to the next house.

Today, He Daqing took his luggage and met up with Bai Guafu early in the morning, and the two went straight to the station.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he wanted to kick his father when he saw that his father didn't even say goodbye to his sister.

But considering the atmosphere of the courtyard, he had to suppress his anger.

Watching He Daqing and Bai Guafu get on the train, He Yuzhu began to worry: What should he do if the little girl wakes up and asks him for her father?
be honest?

Do not make jokes.

If the truth is told, the crying of this girl He Yushui could shake the entire courtyard.

"Alas, it's all retribution."

He Yuzhu stood at the intersection of the alley and bought three breakfasts.

After returning home, He Yuzhu first gave one copy to the old lady.

At this time, there was some noise coming from He Yushui's room. It should be the little girl getting up.

"Xiao Shui, your breakfast is in the pot, remember to eat it, I'm going to work."

He Yuzhu shouted at He Yushui, and without waiting for her response, turned around and went out to work.

Although I am not short of money, in this era, I still need to retain my identity as a worker.

He Yuzhu arrived at a canteen in a steel rolling mill. As a newly promoted head chef, although his level was the same as other chefs, all at level six, his treatment was completely different.

He followed He Daqing's example in the past, took out some shabby chips from the cupboard, made a pot of tea, and began to direct the helpers, apprentices, and temporary workers to do odd jobs.

Everyone knows that a new official will start with three things.

These helpers, apprentices, and temporary workers all found themselves in a comfortable position.

After all, although He Yuzhu is the newly promoted head chef and is only seventeen years old, he is not a newcomer in the cafeteria.

He Yuzhu joined the steel mill three years ago. His length of service is longer than that of more than half of the workers in the mill.

The only chef in the canteen who has more seniority than He Yuzhu is Chef Zhang.

Among the many chefs in this steel rolling mill, Master Zhang's cooking skills are at best average.

In the chef industry where skills are the key.

After He Yuzhu showed off his cooking skills yesterday, he has actually become the undisputed boss of the canteen.

Six more pots of dishes were cooked in the morning. He Yuzhu did not go to serve the workers, but sat in the kitchen to rest.

After the canteen director informed He Yuzhu in the afternoon that there would be a table for treat, He Yuzhu no longer had a reason to slip away early and had to stay in a bad mood.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills are actually not much different from He Daqing's. He prepared the dishes for the reception and took a box home with him.

At this time, the factory had already closed for get off work.

When He Yuzhu returned home, his sister He Yushui was lying on the table doing homework.

"Xiao Shui, raise your head. How many times have I told you to stay away from the table? Do you want to become nearsighted sooner?"

After scolding his younger sister, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to heat up the leftovers.

"Brother, it smells so good, is there meat to eat again?"

When He Yushui smelled the aroma of meat, she no longer wanted to do her homework.

"Yes, there is a reception at the factory today, please clear the table."

The good thing about being a chef is that you never lack meat.

Even if there was a three-year famine, the chef would not become skinny. He Yuzhu cooked the dishes very quickly, and the aroma filled the air and floated out the window.

Of course, the front and back yards are far away and cannot be smelled.

Only a few neighbors in the middle courtyard closed their doors and windows tightly without any prior agreement.

"This idiot Zhu is taking advantage of the factory again."

Jia Zhang cursed and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

When the pretty daughter-in-law Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law scolding her, she would lower her head and dare not speak.

Only Jia Dongxu, who had just got off work, slammed the chopsticks in his hand onto the table with a bang.

"If you want to eat, go ahead and eat. Who's stopping you?"

Jia Dongxu's attitude towards Jia Zhang was not very good.

After all, when Jia Zhang made the half-open door, he had grown up and become sensible.

In addition, Jia Dongxu knew exactly what happened to the grain that Jia Zhang brought back when she went out in the middle of the night in recent years.

Precisely because he knew his mother's background, Jia Dongxu felt an inexplicable disgust and hatred towards Jia Zhang.

Normally, whenever Jia Zhang acted up, Jia Dongxu would scold her without mercy.

Jia Zhang was not afraid of anything in the world except her own son getting angry.

Seeing her son getting angry, she put on an awkward smile and didn't dare to speak again.

Qin Huairu felt happy when she saw her mother-in-law being humiliated, and she felt a lot better.

After all, it is the man who calls the shots in this family.

On the other side, He Yuzhu heated up the food and brought a portion to the old lady.

After He Yuzhu came back, He Yushui waited obediently to have dinner together today.

"Not bad, I'll give you a big white rabbit as a reward."

He Yuzhu knows how to use both kindness and strictness, and he knows how to educate his sister without simply using pressure.

He Yushui got the White Rabbit and immediately grinned, revealing the meat strands between his teeth.

"You girl..."

He Yuzhu felt that he had been cheated, but there was nothing he could do.

After dinner, He Yushui was still asked to clean up the dishes.

After He Yushui went back to his room to do his homework, He Yuzhu strolled out again.

It’s still the same routine as yesterday.

Soon, the intoxicating sound was heard in the cellar again.

Chen Jiazhen came from a well-off family. Her mother's family was in the grain business. She had never done any heavy work since she was a child. She usually stayed at home and was considered a weak and frail woman.

Faced with the brave and combative He Yuzhu, Chen Jiazhen could not hold on for more than a few minutes and began to shout for surrender.

He Yuzhu was in a good mood and refused to accept the woman's surrender, so he pursued her all the way.

After waiting for a long time for the fighting to stop, He Yuzhu waited for a long time, but the woman didn't come to wipe the sweat off his body. He was a little curious, so he turned his head and saw the woman bending over, covering her legs, her shoulders heaving, and crying quietly.

He Yuzhu quickly pried the woman's hands apart and discovered that her knees were rubbed raw.

"I'm sorry, Jiazhen, I wasn't paying attention just now."

"never mind."

Chen Jiazhen wiped away the two lines of tears from the corners of her eyes. It did hurt at the beginning, but now the pain has subsided and it is much better.

He Yuzhu looked at the delicate appearance of the woman and felt a little uncomfortable. He had been doing this for three consecutive days, which made the woman suffer.

After seeing Chen Jiazhen off, He Yuzhu also quietly returned home.

After He Daqing left, He Yuzhu packed up his things and threw them all into the space.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the space, He Yuzhu cleaned one side of the house.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, He Yuzhu signed in to the system.

"Sign-in reward: +13 yuan, +13 experience points."

Sign-in rewards are generally fixed, unless it is a holiday or birthday.

The first year of the system opening.

When He Yuzhu signed in, he received "+1 yuan, +1 experience point."

After that, every year when I signed in every day, my money and experience points would increase by one.

Today, He Yuzhu has had the system for thirteen years and can earn 13 yuan and 13 experience points every day.

He Yuzhu signed in and gained more than 30,000 experience points in total.

However, He Yuzhu used all his experience points in practicing Baguazhang.

"Name: He Yuzhu (formerly known as Ye Song)

Age: 17 years old

Skills: Baguazhang L6, Taijiquan L2, Hung Gar L4, Xingyiquan L3, Bajiquan L5, Cooking L5, Archery L1.

Remaining experience points: 577.

Power: 79
Stamina: 46
Speed: 25
Spirit: 16
Special items: small space (volume 100*100*100 cubic meters.)"

(Every time a skill is upgraded to a higher level, the system will strengthen the body accordingly. He Yuzhu has not cultivated the skills of mental strength and speed, so the strengthening of these two aspects is relatively weak.)
If you understand one Dharma, you will understand all Dharmas.

He Yuzhu's Baguazhang skills have reached perfection, and his other martial arts skills have also improved accordingly, and even his cooking skills have improved significantly.

Unfortunately, practicing martial arts only improves strength and endurance, but adds very little to speed and spirit.

Nowadays, He Yuzhu can almost kill a tiger with one punch.

But if the tiger wants to escape, He Yuzhu still can't catch up.

He Yuzhu lay on the big bed, looking at the system, and thought of Chen Jiazhen.

My physical fitness is getting stronger and stronger. In comparison, Chen Jiazhen's body is a little fragile.

Do I need to find another woman?
He Yuzhu is not short of money, but he lacks a place to accommodate the woman.

In recent years, in order to prevent accidents from happening, He Yuzhu has found a total of three secret bases.

Apart from the courtyard house and the place where Chen Jiazhen lived, He Yuzhu only had one place left.

He Yuzhu fell asleep slowly while he was lost in thought.
