Chapter 53 Qin Huairu comes to ask for help

Qin Huairu came over with her three children.

It’s not quite right to call him a child.

Banggeng was born in the fifth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He is 26 years old this year, which is considered an older young man.

Xiaodang is not young either, four years younger than Banggeng, and is twenty-two years old. After finishing junior high school, she used her connections to get a job as a female worker in a textile factory.

Huaihua is four years younger than Xiaodang. He is eighteen this year. He was originally in his second year of high school and will be a third year in September.

All three children are now adults.

He Yuzhu found it quite rare that Qin Huairu suddenly came to his house with her three children. After all, the two families had not had much contact since Jia Zhang came to his house to cause trouble and he slapped her twice.

"Zhu Zi is at home. Is Xiao E at home?"

Qin Huairu seemed quite surprised to see He Yuzhu, but the three children behind her did not seem very surprised.

"It's Sister Qin," He Yuzhu replied with a smile, "Xiao'e is out for something, do you want to see her?"

"Hi, there is something," Qin Huairu looked embarrassed. She wanted to pretend to be reserved, but when she saw that He Yuzhu didn't say anything, she stopped being shy.

"Zhu Zi, I can ask you to do this."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Actually, I came here to ask Xiao'e for help. It would be more effective if you were at home."

"Since you have something to say, let's go inside and talk."

Seeing that Qin Huairu showed her attitude of asking for help, He Yuzhu stopped pinching her and led her into the house.

In fact, if only Qin Huairu and Banggeng came this time, He Yuzhu would definitely ignore them.

But Qin Huairu, this scheming bitch, was too skilled and came here with her two daughters.

Xiaodang and Huaihua are really good.

At some point in the fan fiction of "A Courtyard Full of Love", Xiaodang and Huaihua were also disparaged in various ways.

In fact, these two children are pretty good.

At least He Yuzhu has lived in the courtyard for so many years, and girls like Xiaodang and Huaihua are considered relatively good. Every time they see him, they greet him as "Uncle He", "Uncle He".

It’s the same old saying, don’t hit someone who smiles at you.

After decades of living together as neighbors, there is no deep hatred between them.

Qin Huairu came to the door with a smile on her face, so He Yuzhu didn't have a cold face and refused to let anyone in like a door god.

If He Yuzhu really dared to do this and the news got out, He Yuzhu would be socially dead.

Everyone enters the house.

The four brats who were doing their homework in the living room all stood up and greeted him.

"Auntie Jia, Brother Banggeng, Sister Xiaodang, Sister Huaihua."

"Oh, the kids are home."

Qin Huairu replied with a smile.

"Your Aunt Jia is busy. Oldest brother, go get some drinks. Oldest brother, go cut some watermelon. Oldest brother, put away your homework books."

At He Yuzhu's words, the four children immediately started moving.

Qin Huairu said no, but she couldn't stop it.

After a while, the third and fourth brothers cleaned the table in the living room, He Xiao took out an iced drink from the refrigerator, and He Yong cut a watermelon and took some melon seeds as snacks.

After everyone sat down, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu began to praise each other.

Qin Huairu said that He Yuzhu's four children are sensible and obedient.

He Yuzhu also said that the young boys of the Jia family were very energetic and the young girls were very pretty.

After waiting for the business compliments to finally end, Qin Huairu finally brought up the purpose of their visit.

The story begins with Banggeng losing his job.

Last year, Banggeng worked as an apprentice at the nearby Seventh Steel Plant. He was supposed to be converted to a regular employee after his two-year apprenticeship, but he was fired from the factory because he got into a fight with someone.

According to Qin Huairu's description, Banggeng fought with someone because the other person seduced Banggeng's girlfriend, and Banggeng got so angry that he started fighting.

At the beginning of the year, He Xiao asked He Yuzhu to help Banggeng find a job for this matter.

However, He Yuzhu did not help at that time.

Later, Qin Huairu asked another old man for help.

In fact, it was Qin Huairu who asked an old man to help her arrange for her to work as an apprentice at the Seventh Steel Plant.

The old man was actually annoyed by this kind of waste of favors, but he had the title of the old man in charge, so he couldn't just ignore it when his neighbors in the yard were in trouble.

So, Qin Huairu came to the door again and talked about their past friendship.

I don't know what the old man was thinking, so he went to the street office again and asked someone to find him a job as a street sweeper.

This is not because I don't try my best.

But it's a different time now.

The old man used to be an eighth-level fitter in the factory. When he introduced jobs to people, the small factories under the steel rolling mill had to give him face.

But last year, an old man retired and was unemployed at home. Whenever he spoke to others, they just laughed him off and ignored him.

Finally, the old man shamelessly begged the street, and was finally assigned a job as a street sweeper. Banggeng was reluctant to be a street sweeper at first, but he had been unemployed at home for two months, and his girlfriend was about to break up with him, so he had no choice but to be a street sweeper.

As a result, less than half a month after they started working together, Banggeng's girlfriend broke up with him.

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Banggeng.

While working, Banggeng had an argument with his boss because he was in a bad mood and lost his job of sweeping the floor.

Qin Huairu came to find He Yuzhu, but there was nothing she could do since Banggeng was almost 30 years old.

The two daughters in the family are also of marriageable age. If Banggeng cannot find a job, it will indirectly affect the two daughters' search for a partner.

As for the old man, he was unwilling to speak any more. After all, his favors would be gone if he used one point more.

The Jia family was unwilling to provide support for the eldest master and his wife in their old age, and the eldest master was really unwilling to do so, so he rushed to help out.

However, although the eldest master did not take any action, he pointed out a way for Qin Huairu and asked the Jia family to ask He Yuzhu for help.

After all, He Yuzhu's connections had long been spread like wildfire among everyone in the Siheyuan.

Qin Huairu also gritted her teeth and ran over with her child.

"Zhu Zi, last month, when Xiao E came to the courtyard, I heard her say that your apprentice Ma Hua from the cafeteria was going to open a restaurant and was short of staff. Do you think it would be okay for Bang Geng to go with him to help?"

He Yuzhu laughed when he heard this, but he politely declined: "Sister Qin, you are only saying this to me. If I hear it outside, I will blush. The previous canteen director Ma Guangyong was dismissed. I'm afraid you don't know the reason?"

Qin Huairu really didn't know what happened back then, and asked in confusion: "Zhu Zi, what does this have to do with Director Ma?"

"Ma Guangyong was dismissed because he asked me to take Ma Hua and another apprentice as my apprentices, but I refused. In addition, I went to the then deputy director Li to report that Ma Guangyong had outdated ideas and suspected bureaucratic thinking."

He Yuzhu smiled and told the story of that year in a different way. When he saw Qin Huairu's face turn pale, he smiled again and said:
"Sister Qin, now that you say Ma Hua is my apprentice, if those people in the cafeteria know about it, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"

"I'm sorry, Zhuzi, I really didn't know about this," Qin Huairu looked innocent and guilty. She wanted to apologize, but was stopped by He Yuzhui waving his hand.

"Sister Qin, this is nothing. After Ma Guangyong stepped down, you should have some impression of Chen Pojun, right?"

Qin Huairu said quickly: "Yes, I remember him. I heard he was quite powerful, but later someone..."

He Yuzhu showed a smug look on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, I got it done."

"what?"

This time, not only Qin Huairu was confused, but even the seven children from the two families were confused.

Two canteen directors were successively ousted by He Yuzhu.

Is He Yuzhu trying to be lawless?
He Yuzhu didn't care about the children's looks. He just stared at Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "Sister Qin, do you think I am overbearing enough in the cafeteria? With the way I act, don't even mention that I resigned from the steel mill. Even if I didn't resign, do you think that kid Ma Hua would give me face?"

"This, this..."

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded again. Her past was "exposed" by He Yuzhu. She didn't know what to say next to ask for help.

He Yuzhu is not a fool. Only a few people know what his relationship with MCA is like.

It is naturally difficult for an outsider like Qin Huairu to understand the ins and outs of this matter.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was intimidated, He Yuzhu said, "Sister Qin, if you want to get Banggeng to work in Mahua's hotel, it's hard to say how effective it will be if you mention my name. But I suggest that you look for someone else."

Qin Huairu looked embarrassed. She had been busy for almost two months trying to find a new job for her son.

As a result, the kid Banggeng didn't live up to expectations.

Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and couldn't help but feel her eyes reddening and she wanted to cry.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu did not give her a chance, but continued to persuade her:

"Sister Qin, let me tell you something. I hope you can listen. The country has now relaxed its policies. Many educated youth have returned to the city and are self-reliant. Didn't Ma Hua, whom you just mentioned, open a restaurant? I think Banggeng is a smart kid. You can help him find a small business and let him try it. Maybe it can be a way out."

Whenever Qin Huairu wanted to say something else, He Yuzhu would just talk about irrelevant things and wouldn't respond.

If it really didn't work, He Yuzhu would repeat what he had said before over and over again to persuade her.

Currently, the whole country is promoting individual industrial and commercial households, and some people in the city have indeed made money.

In fact, it was He Yuzhu who advised Ma Hua that he was able to open a restaurant.

After He Yuzhu resigned last year, Ma Hua, who had always been under his care, successfully used his cooking skills to take over and become the head chef of a canteen.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

After Factory Director Yang was promoted to Director General Yang, the new factory leader made three big moves upon taking office. Ma Hua, who was a small chef, was made a typical example of waste for no reason. Not only was he removed from his position as head chef, but his chef level was also downgraded from level six to level nine.

At this time, Ma Hua, who had elderly parents and young children to take care of, was desperate and came to He Yuzhu for help.

He Yuzhu gave Ma Hua some advice and asked him to open a restaurant so that he could earn money to support his family with his skills.

Ma Hua's cooking skills are certainly not as good as He Yuzhu's, but after working in a steel mill for twenty years, with some guidance from He Yuzhu and his willingness to work hard to learn, it should be no problem for him to support an ordinary restaurant.

Today, Ma Hua's small Sichuan restaurant is doing very well, with daily revenue of around 100 yuan. After deducting costs, there is still a gross profit of 30 to 40 yuan.

Excluding labor costs, Ma Hua makes a net profit of thousands of dollars a month, which is much better than working in an office.

Although it is hard and tiring, the money you get is really enviable.

Qin Huairu could remember that when she asked Banggeng to work in a restaurant, she actually had the idea of ​​letting Banggeng learn cooking so that she could open her own restaurant and make a lot of money in the future.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu was not willing to introduce her.

Qin Huairu's visit this time was destined to be in vain.
