Chapter 6 Let's adjust together
He Yuzhu poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. The heat went down his throat and instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel comfortable all over.

Seeing that Director Yang was about to reprimand him, He Yuzhu interrupted and replied:

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

"What kind of adjustment?"

Director Yang didn't understand what He Yuzhu meant at first.

He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Nothing much. When I was out for a walk yesterday, I ran into a fellow villager. He said he had caught a few rabbits and a silly roe deer, and asked me if I was willing to exchange them for some food. I happened to have some extra food coupons, so I went to exchange them with him when I went to the countryside just now."

"He Yuzhu, you're absent from work during working hours, and you dare to show off here. I'll confiscate all your rabbits and roe deer."

Director Yang hadn't seen meat for more than a month. When he heard about rabbit meat, he smiled so hard that his mouth split open, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

"Director, let me make this clear first. I can keep all the meat for the factory, but I want a ticket for a women's bicycle."

He Yuzhu put forward his own request.

He promised his sister He Yushui last night that he would buy her a women's bicycle.

Although He Yushui has a pair of long legs, he has no problem riding a 28-inch bicycle.

However, He Yushui is a beauty after all, and riding a 28-inch bicycle every day is somewhat inelegant.

He Yuzhu remembered that there were still a few rabbits and roe deer in his system space, so he simply took them to the factory and exchanged them with the factory.

"A women's bike, huh?"

Director Yang was stunned. He opened the drawer, rummaged through it, and actually found a women's bicycle ticket.

"Thank you, Director. The meat is in the canteen. I have asked Chef Zhang to wash and peel it. Do you want me to prepare it for you in the canteen or send it directly to you?"

"Don't worry about it."

Although Director Yang was craving for rabbit meat, he knew that the meat was not something he could eat.

At the very least, you can't keep it all to yourself.

After sending He Yuzhu away, Director Yang called the canteen director and asked him to divide the rabbit meat and roe deer meat into several portions, pack them in bags and put them in his car.

After arranging all these, Director Yang called his leader, who is the big boss in the TV series.

When the big boss heard that Director Yang was going to give him rabbit meat, he originally didn't want it.

However, at this time, Director Yang's EQ was high and he directly replied using He Yuzhu's words, and everyone adjusted the situation to each other.

Adjustment was originally a means of bartering and exchanging materials between neighbors after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Nowadays, it has become an excuse for subordinates to give gifts to their superiors.

Director Yang insisted on sending it, and the senior leader couldn't refuse, plus Director Yang also proposed to adjust the items.

The big boss had no choice but to accept the kindness of his subordinate, Director Yang.

In addition to delivering meat to the senior leader, Director Yang also made phone calls to some other familiar leaders, taking care of all the favors.

He Yuzhu gave Director Yang a gift, and when he went out, he casually threw the bicycle ticket into the space.

When we returned to the cafeteria, the cafeteria director had already taken away the rabbit meat and roe deer meat.

Liu Lan was still cleaning rabbit skins and roe deer skins, while Master Zhang was cleaning the internal organs.

After these internal organs are cleaned up, they are all meat.

After making sure that he had nothing to do, He Yuzhu rode his bike home.

At the entrance of the courtyard, there are now three aunts online.

Recently, after work, the third uncle took his equipment and went to the nearby ditches and ponds to fish.

Every day I catch fish, I sell the big ones and use the small ones to improve my family’s life.

After saying hello to the three aunts, He Yuzhu entered the central courtyard.

An old lady was chatting with Qin Huairu.

Because Jia Zhang used to be a half-open woman, she had a bad relationship with other women in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu could chat with the aunt, but Jia Zhang could only stay in the house.

"Zhu Zi, you got off work so early today."

When the old lady saw He Yuzhu, her eyes began to sparkle.

Today, when an aunt was chatting with an old lady, she accidentally found some meat shreds between the old lady's teeth.

This shocked the aunt.

What kind of situation is this? When the whole country is tightening its belt, the deaf old lady actually has meat to eat.

The deaf old lady's secret was discovered by an aunt, and she had no choice but to betray He Yuzhu.

Of course, even if the old lady didn't tell the truth, the aunt could guess it.

After all, the old lady’s three meals a day are prepared by either He Yuzhu or the aunt.

The auntie didn't buy any meat for the old lady.

Thinking about it this way, the origin of the shredded meat between the old lady's teeth became clear.

The old lady watched He Yuzhu stagger into the house, but she didn't know what to do.

In those days, even if a family had a meat coupon, they might not be able to buy meat.

Even if you buy meat, it may not be good meat.

The only people who can really eat meat are the cooks, apart from those powerful bigwigs.

As the old saying goes, three years of drought will not starve a cook to death.

The aunt wanted to talk to He Yuzhu to see if she could make some adjustments with her family in exchange for some meat, but she was afraid that He Yuzhu would refuse.

For a moment, I felt uneasy and confused.

After waiting for the old man to get off work, the old woman pulled him aside and told him that He Yuzhu had meat and gave it to the old lady to eat.

The old man squinted his eyes, and after a while, he waved his hand and said:

"Zhu Zi is a cook. He will always have the chance to make some delicious food, but I'm afraid it won't happen often. Don't make it difficult for him."

In order to create an image of a good person in the hospital, the old man has been trying his best to help others. How could he destroy his image just for a bite of meat?

When the aunt saw that the uncle was unwilling to ask He Yuzhu for help, she felt upset.

After the couple finished their meal, the uncle went out for a walk, and the aunt was not in the mood to stay at home, so she turned around and went to the backyard to complain to the old lady. Because the aunt took care of the old lady every day, she usually didn't need to knock when she entered the door, she just pushed the door open and walked in.

Today, as soon as an old lady walked in the door, she smelled the aroma of meat.

The old lady eats meat again!

This time, the aunt's eyes really lit up as she looked at the old lady's dining table.

On the table was a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of side dishes, and a small bowl with a pie in it.

The aroma of meat wafting in the air came from a pie in the old lady's hand.

"My daughter is here, close the door quickly."

The old lady was caught eating meat by an aunt during the day. When He Yuzhu came to bring her food tonight, she shamelessly asked the aunt for an extra meat pie.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it and gave one of his to the old lady.

The lady choked up while eating a meat pie, tears streaming down her face. She finally stopped crying and couldn't help but sigh:

"My dear mother, Zhuzi is really good to you. He treats you like his own grandmother and gives you meat every day. This is a life that even rich families would not dare to live in the past."

The rich man lives a better life than this.

The deaf old lady used to come from a very wealthy family, but she did not argue. After watching the lady finish eating, she asked her to return the bowl and chopsticks to He Yuzhu.

The aunt felt a little embarrassed, but she still obediently delivered it.

At this time, He Yuzhu was still having dinner with He Yushui.

He Yushui can now eat three meat pies and two bowls of porridge in one meal.

He Yuzhu was a little worried whether He Yushui's future in-laws could support her.

When an old lady knocked on the door, He Yuzhu was thinking about when to buy a bicycle for his sister.

Hearing the knock on the door, He Yushui reluctantly put down the meat pie and asked He Yuzhu to hide it before turning around to open the door.

"Big Mom."

"Xiao Shui, I'll help the old lady bring the dishes over."

The aunt also knew that it was not convenient for her to enter since He Yuzhu and his sister were eating delicious food, so she stood at the door, handed the bowl and chopsticks to He Yushui, and turned away.

He Yushui put down the bowl and chopsticks and signaled to his elder brother to quickly bring out the meat pie.

He Yuzhu guessed that the old lady might know that her family had meat to eat.

However, since the old lady didn't say anything, He Yuzhu pretended to be normal.

However, when making dinner the next day, He Yuzhu made one extra meat pie, and when he gave the old lady the meat pies, he just took two.

When the old lady saw this, she just laughed, thinking that her eldest grandson was so filial and sensible.

After a while, an old lady came to the old lady's house and saw the steaming meat pie in the bowl. She couldn't help blushing.

Speaking of which, it is somewhat shameful that an old lady who is over 40 years old is still greedy for meat.

It seems that the old lady is not a outsider either.

An aunt has been taking care of the old lady for almost ten years. She is like a family member to her.

The old lady was not heartless. She treated He Yuzhu as her own grandson and the aunt as her own daughter.

The old lady satisfied her craving at the old lady's place, but in the final analysis, she actually benefited from He Yuzhu.

The aunt is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others.

During the day, I helped the old lady clean and do laundry, and also helped He Yuzhu and He Yushui clean as well.

At that time, it was not popular to lock the door when going out of the courtyard.

When He Yuzhu and He Yushui returned home from school and get off work, they saw that the house had been cleaned tidy, and naturally they thought of the aunt.

This lady is too honest.

After sighing for a while, He Yuzhu felt a little scared. Fortunately, he had the habit of keeping valuables in the space.

It would be troublesome if some items were accidentally seen by an old lady.

In the blink of an eye, it's Friday.

He Yuzhu had just returned to the courtyard after work when he ran into the third uncle who was going out fishing.

"Zhu Zi, Aunt Wang from the street just came over and said that the girl you wanted to meet last time has her family agree to meet you. You should set aside time on the weekend. For the specific time and address, you can ask Aunt Wang when you are free tomorrow."

The third uncle's family is responsible for guarding the gate of the courtyard, and sometimes they are also responsible for delivering messages to everyone.

He Yuzhu thanked the third uncle, thought about it, went home to prepare food, waited for He Yushui to come back, and asked her to eat with the old lady.

He Yuzhu wrapped six meat pies in newspaper, left the courtyard and went straight to Director Wang's house.

Wang Hongxiu has been busy this week regarding He Yuzhu's affairs.

First of all, Wang Hongxiu wanted to confirm whether the photos taken by He Yuzhu were real.

If the photos were fake and discovered by the Lou family later, Wang Hongxiu would also be embarrassed.

After Wang Hongxiu had investigated thoroughly and confirmed that He Yuzhu was not lying, she went to Lou's house.

The Lou family also needs to be investigated.

After all, He Yuzhu's identity is just a cook.

Even if he shook hands with Zhou Gong and took a photo, he would still be a cook with good skills.

If you want to marry your own daughter, you can't have this status.

After the Lou family learned that He Yuzhu worked at the steel mill, they called the mill's current director, Director Yang.

Director Yang had just gotten a lot of money from He Yuzhu and was in debt to him. When he heard that He Yuzhu wanted to marry the daughter of the Lou family, he readily guaranteed for He Yuzhu.

Lou Zhendong did not expect that He Yuzhu, a cook, would have such a good relationship with people, and even the factory director was so optimistic about him.

Combined with the Lou family's other investigations into He Yuzhu, Lou Zhendong finally decided to give He Yuzhu a chance to pursue his daughter.

Lou Zhendong told his wife and daughter about the situation.

Lou Tan didn't care. Since his character was fine and her daughter liked him, there would be no problem.

After all, in Lou Tan's eyes, her daughter's happiness is the most important thing.

Of course, whether it is Lou Zhendong or Lou Tan, they only have one daughter, Lou Xiao'e. Regarding their daughter's marriage, they still want to hear their daughter's own opinion.
