Chapter 5 Qin Huairu is pregnant again
He Yuzhu went to the street office and was in a very good mood thinking that he would soon have a wife to warm his bed.

The next day, the weekend.

He Yuzhu went out to attend a banquet for the day again. After finishing his work, he walked home carrying the wine and meat given by the host.

I'm stunned. I'm stunned.

He Yuzhu staggered back to the courtyard and met the third uncle Yan Fugui who was riding a bicycle and coming back from outside.

"Uncle San, I'm back from fishing. How was the catch today?"

"Okay."

Yan Fugui's mouth curled up in a smile, and he was obviously in a good mood.

He Yuzhu did not move forward, but turned and entered the middle courtyard. Coincidentally, he met an old lady who was helping a deaf old lady back to the backyard.

After seeing He Yuzhu, the old lady did not go back and followed He Yuzhu into the house.

I don’t know where my sister He Yushui went to play.

This girl goes crazy on weekends and is hardly seen at all.

You will be a big girl going to high school soon. If you continue to play like this, how can you get into college?

He Yuzhu was worried, so he asked the old lady to sit down and started preparing dinner.

Because this year marks the beginning of a famine year, the food ration for adults has been reduced again and again, and now it is only about 28 kilograms per month.

In some places where food is scarce, the supply of food coupons is as low as 18 kilograms per month.

And this year is only the first year. By next year, the disaster will be even more serious.

Every family had to bring food coupons when visiting relatives.

After all, every household has a fixed amount of food coupons. If relatives eat more, the host family will go hungry at the end of the month.

By the third year, people in areas severely affected by the disaster simply ate everything.

Eating tree bark, grass roots, etc. is nothing.

The three words "years of famine" are not just words.

He Yuzhu is just a cook, which is why he can still have enough food and drink in these times.

Of course, in that special era, even if He Yuzhu had delicious food, he didn't dare eat it openly.

Usually when he is in public, He Yuzhu would make some corn paste with pickles, stinky tofu and so on.

Only in private would He Yuzhu make a meat-filled steamed bun and let his family taste the meat.

The meat-filled steamed buns are baked, so the meaty aroma is wrapped up and the flavor does not dissipate.

When eating, be sure to close the door to prevent the smell from wafting away and causing jealousy among your neighbors.

As long as the neighbors in the courtyard couldn't smell it, He Yuzhu could pretend that he was the same as everyone else.

He Yuzhu had just put the food on the table when the door was slammed open from the outside:
"Brother, is the meal ready?"

He Yushui is sixteen years old this year and is already a grown-up girl. She is rounder than she looks in the TV series and is about 1.7 meters tall. In the summer, she wears a long skirt and sways her figure, charming a group of little hooligans.

Over the years, He Yuzhu has fought many times to protect his sister from being bullied.

Later, as I saw my sister getting more and more beautiful, I was afraid that she would be bullied by the gangsters in the alley.

He Yuzhu simply started to teach He Yushui kung fu.

After He Yushui learned martial arts, his originally suppressed temperament was aroused and he was impetuous all day long.

When He Yuzhu saw his sister like this, he began to worry about his future brother-in-law.

"How do you get in? Go in again!"

"Oh, I'm hungry."

When He Yushui saw He Yuzhu's gloomy face, he was so scared that he ran back out of the house and quietly pushed the door open again.

"Grandma, brother, I'm hungry."

"Go wash your hands, the meal is ready."

He Yuzhu gave him a lecture and that was it.

This little sister cannot be educated too strictly every time, otherwise she will cry, and her crying will be heart-wrenching.

Every time He Yushui burst into tears, He Yuzhu would feel regretful and would not dare to provoke her for several days.

"Wow, it's a meat pie."

He Yushui bit out a big crescent, and the minced meat mixed with gravy made her soul soar three feet high.

"Brother, where did you get this meat? It smells so good!"

"Don't worry about where the meat comes from. Eat it and don't tell anyone else when you go out."

He Yuzhu gave some advice. Although he knew He Yushui was not a fool, there were too many bad people in this era.

What if someone tries to trick He Yushui and he lets the cat out of the bag?
"Xiao Shui, did you write down everything your brother said?"

The old lady also educated the girl. She also knew that He Yushui was a little bit stupid.

He Yushui finished a meat pie in a few bites, picked up another one, and said while eating: "I know, grandma, I will definitely not tell anyone."

"If someone asks you what you eat at home, just say corn paste and pickled cabbage. Don't say anything else."

He Yuzhu and the old lady took turns giving instructions.

He Yushui nodded continuously, looking at the meat pie on the table. Suddenly, she thought of a question. She grinned and had the urge to cry: "Brother, I will go to high school in the second half of the year. I have to live on campus. When I get there, I won't be able to eat such delicious food. What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll buy you a bicycle during summer vacation. You can ride back at noon and have lunch with grandma at home."

"What about breakfast and dinner?"

He Yushui looked at his elder brother pitifully. There are three meals a day, you can't just make do with two meals, right?
As the daughter of a chef, He Yushui has never lacked food since she was a child. It would be really difficult for her to eat meals in the school cafeteria.

"For breakfast, you can only buy it at school. For dinner, you can bring it back with you when you come back to school after lunch."

"It can only be the."

He Yushui pouted. Although she was still somewhat reluctant, she was not willing to say that she would skip school just to eat.

The family had dinner.

He Yuzhu sent the old lady back home, and He Yushui washed the pots and dishes.

After washing, He Yushui did not go back to the house to rest, but went to the yard, holding a stick that He Yuzhu found for her and started playing with it.

The Qimei stick is about the same height as the eyebrows, which is a little over 1.6 meters, and weighs three or four kilograms.

He Yushui took it in his hand and waved it, which immediately created gusts of cool breeze.

"Xiao Shui, are you practicing martial arts again?"

Qin Huairu next door is pregnant again. Although it has not been long, only more than four months, Jia Dongxu is really good to his wife and has begun to stop Qin Huairu from doing heavy work. The person who washes the pots and dishes in the Jia family now is Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu was sitting on a stool, next to her was Jia Dongxu, who was holding his daughter Jia Dang.

He Yuzhu came out from the backyard and saw Qin Huairu with a bulging belly. Then he looked at Jia Dongxu, and no matter how he looked at him, it seemed as if a dark cloud was covering the sky.

"Xiao Shui, after practicing martial arts, remember to take a shower before going to bed. I'm going to go out for a walk."

He Yuzhu gave some instructions and turned to leave.

Going out for a walk after dinner is a habit He Yuzhu has developed since childhood.

After leaving the courtyard, He Yuzhu walked south as usual.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the side-by-side courtyard again.

Unfortunately, the beauty has gone, leaving only the empty attic.

He Yuzhu took a look and walked back.

This place is about seven or eight miles away from the courtyard.

He Yuzhu doesn't exercise much now, anyway he has a system to strengthen his body.

Of course, these are all excuses He Yuzhu makes for his laziness.

I still remember when he was a kid, when He Yuzhu just got the system, he trained hard to add various skills.

In the wrestling training ground in Sijiu City, more than a dozen masters are close friends with He Yuzhu. They practice sparring and strengthening their muscles every day.

Go to bed at three o'clock, get up at five o'clock, and exercise before dawn.

This strong willpower continued until... he met Chen Jiazhen.

Alas, women really do affect the speed of drawing a sword.

When we returned to the courtyard, He Yushui had already gone back to sleep.

He Yuzhu also took a shower and went to bed.

During the famine years, everyone was hungry. In order to save energy, they basically lay down on bed and rest after eating.

Monday came in a blink of an eye.

He Yuzhu prepared breakfast, gave one portion to the old lady, woke up He Yushui, and rode his bike to work.

The bicycle He Yuzhu rode was a bicycle ticket awarded as a reward during a state banquet.

After I bought the bicycle, the whole courtyard was in a frenzy for half a month.

There are many rich people in the courtyard, but none of them are willing to buy a bicycle.

After all, everyone walks to work, and the round trip takes only about half an hour.

Why would anyone buy a bicycle just to save a few minutes?

In the entire courtyard, the third uncle was the only one who bought a second-hand car.

Later, Xu Damao worked as a projectionist in the factory. In order to make it convenient for Xu Damao to take the projector to the countryside, the factory allowed Xu Damao to use one.

Now, in order to make it easier to commute to get off work, He Yuzhu bought a bicycle, which was considered a precedent in the Siheyuan courtyard.

Even the old man and his wife, with whom He Yuzhu had always had a good relationship, said that He Yuzhu did not know how to live.

Ugh.

These neighbors are still too narrow-minded.

Don’t understand that time is money.

When he arrived at the factory cafeteria, He Yuzhu was still slacking off as usual. After all, he was the foreman chef and all he had to do was to give instructions to the helpers, temporary workers and apprentices.

I was busy all morning and took a nap at noon.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, before receiving any news of the reception, He Yuzhu found an excuse to slip away.

After leaving the factory, He Yuzhu rode his bike to take a trip to the countryside.

When they came back, there were two large sacks on the front crossbar of the car. There were living things in the sacks that moved from time to time.

He Yuzhu returned to the factory cafeteria and unpacked two large sacks, shocking everyone.

There were actually six rabbits and a silly roe deer in the two bags.

"Liu Lan, come and kill them. Take the rabbit skin and the silly roe deer skin."

He Yuzhu has been secretly looking at Liu Lan too many times recently and has been discovered by her several times. Now that he has gained some benefits, he will give her some to shut her up.

"Okay."

At this time, Liu Lan had not had the chance to become Deputy Director Li's lover because Deputy Director Li was not yet in charge of the logistics canteen.

The other helpers looked at Liu Lan with some jealousy, then looked at the living things on the ground, but could not say anything.

"Master Zhang, you come and take care of it later. The water is yours."

He Yuzhu is too lazy to do anything nowadays as it would save trouble.

Master Zhang, who was given the order, immediately smiled and happily came to Liu Lan. After Liu Lan peeled the skin, he began to peel and wash the internal organs and put them into water.

He Yuzhu did not stay in the cafeteria, but walked towards the office building with the teacup.

He walked into the third floor familiarly and knocked on the wooden door of the factory director's office.

"Please come in."

Director Yang of the steel rolling mill is a technical leader. Although he has learned some skills of flattery, he is a straightforward person and his skills of flattery are not good enough. Therefore, even though he has good abilities, he has not been promoted.

"Director, you are busy."

He Yuzhu is also a regular customer of Director Yang's office. As soon as he enters the door, he goes to open the cabinet where tea is stored.

Director Yang quickly called out to the thief:

"He Yuzhu, I don't have much left, please go easy on me."

"Hehe, look at what you said, Director. It seems that I have become a bandit in your eyes."

He Yuzhu took out a tea can from the cupboard. Without opening it, he shook it gently and he knew that there was indeed not much tea left in it.

"If you are not a bandit, then who is? In the entire steel mill, you are the only one who dares to come to me and take advantage of me."

Director Yang has a love-hate relationship with He Yuzhu.

In recent years, as the factory's chef, He Yuzhu has often brought honor to the steel rolling mill director when receiving guests.

However, as He Yuzhu's abilities grew, his problems also increased.

"Hey, Director, I don't like what you said. Who dares to come here to ask for money? I'm here to adjust my position."
