Chapter 4 He Yuzhu wants to steal Xu Damao's tower
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
He Yuzhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He couldn't help but start thinking about Chen Jiazhen again.
Last year.
Chen Jiazhen was found by her man Xu Fugui, and they returned to Xujiachuan, Tianjin together.
When Chen Jiazhen left, she only left a letter in the cellar, explaining the reason for her departure and repeatedly thanking He Yuzhu for his care over the years.
The letter ended with a humble tone, asking He Yuzhu not to look for her.
At that time, Chen Jiazhen's daughter Fengxia was sixteen years old and was about to get married.
My son Youqing is also thirteen years old.
My daughter and son are now this age and understand a lot of things.
The affair between Chen Jiazhen and He Yuzhu became a tacit agreement among the family.
Chen Jiazhen has not been feeling well in the past two years. Even though He Yuzhu taught her to practice Tai Chi, it could only alleviate the symptoms.
I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors said that there is currently no cure in the country.
At the end of the letter, Chen Jiazhen said that she just wanted to return to Xujiachuan and return to her roots.
He Yuzhu read the letter. Although he felt very upset, he had no choice but to accept it.
This result is pretty good.
In the TV series, Fengxia became mute and Youqing died from excessive blood drawing by the doctor.
Nowadays, Chen Jiazhen and her children are living a good life.
Just because of He Yuzhu, the family of four has not been reunited for more than ten years.
Xu Fugui persisted in his search, which showed his perseverance.
But He Yuzhu was worried that Chen Jiazhen would not be able to get used to taking the children back to the countryside.
After the beginning of summer last year, He Yuzhu found a free weekend and went to Xujiachuan in Tianjin.
Although Chen Jiazhen changed into a blue cloth dress, she still had a slim figure, like a young woman in her twenties.
Because of all the running around over the years, Xu Fugui's hair has turned half white and his face is darker, like a man in his fifties or sixties.
Xu Fugui and Chen Jiazhen sat together, looking more like father and daughter than husband and wife.
He Yuzhu watched quietly for a long time, and finally did not disturb Chen Jiazhen's life anymore.
This woman had been with him for eight years, and she could not forget her original married life with Xu Fugui for three years.
He Yuzhu could only sigh that his charm was too low.
"I am only suitable for throwing money at people."
After returning to Beijing, He Yuzhu finally learned to let go and started asking people to act as matchmakers.
But with Xu Damao as his archenemy, how could He Yuzhu possibly find a partner?
Of course, Xu Damao couldn't find a partner either.
The two of them are trying to sabotage each other.
The hatred between Xu Damao and He Yuzhu can be traced back to the conflict between Xu Fugui and He Daqing in the previous generation.
The feud between the two families has been going on for a long time and is difficult to resolve.
After He Yuzhu traveled through time, he had a fierce fight with the Xu family, which deepened the resentment between the two families.
If He Yuzhu had not been afraid of the powerful government, he would have wanted to kill Xu Damao with a club and bury him somewhere.
That night, He Yuzhu felt lonely and started thinking about women again.
A person was lying in bed, thinking gloomily:
"This grandson Xu Damao has ruined my love life twice in a row. If I don't retaliate, I'm not worthy of being a time traveler."
"Since you won't let me marry a beautiful wife, I will marry your original wife Lou Xiao'e."
"Although Lou Xiao'e looks ordinary, her family is rich, which is just enough to hide the gold, silver and jewelry she has accumulated over the years."
He Yuzhu made up his mind.
The next day, after get off work, he went straight to the street office.
The street office also gets off work quite early.
He Yuzhu hurried over and arrived before they got off work.
"Zhu Zi, what's the matter that brings you here so late?"
Director Wang of the Street Office is a middle-aged woman. She is usually very sharp-tongued and few people dare to get close to her.
He Yuzhu was helpless. He hadn't touched a woman for nearly a year. When he saw Liu Lan in the cafeteria, he swallowed his saliva.
He Yuzhu is now thinking about marrying a wife and living at home to solve the problem of bedding.
"Director Wang, I came here today to complain to you."
As soon as He Yuzhu met, he started to complain bitterly and told the whole grudge between the He and Xu families from beginning to end.
"Director Wang, you said that Xu Damao is such a jerk. He has made me an older young person and I still haven't found a partner."
As the director of the subdistrict office, Wang Hongxiu also understood the problems between the two families. After listening to He Yuzhu's complaints, she did not believe his one-sided words and even showed sarcasm on her face, complaining:
"Zhu Zi, do you know you are in trouble now? I advised you two families to reconcile, but why did you keep harassing the Xu family? You even threw manure at Xu Damao's family twice?"
"Director Wang, I was a kid at that time, and I was bullied by Xu Damao's grandson. I got so excited that I couldn't control myself."
He Yuzhu was scolded by Director Wang and could only put on a smile.
Back then, He Yuzhu had indeed caused a lot of trouble in order to avoid being bullied. The conflict between him and the Xu family was quite serious, which caused a lot of trouble for the street office. Director Wang was also in trouble.
Now, Director Wang wanted to scold him, but He Yuzhu had something to ask for help, so he could only put on a smile and laugh it off.
Director Wang did not expect that He Yuzhu, known as the "Siheyuan God of War", would behave so well today. After scolding him, he felt much better.
"Tell me, you normally don't do anything but ask for help at the last minute. Why do you need me this time?"
"Director Wang, this is what I said just now. The two blind dates arranged by our street office were both ruined by Xu Damao. It just so happened that Xu Damao went to the countryside for half a month, so I wanted to find a wife while he was away."
He Yuzhu stated his request.
Director Wang had guessed this long ago, and asked calmly:
"So do you have a girl you like?"
"There is one, the daughter of Director Lou of our steel mill."
He Yuzhu originally only liked petite women, like Chen Jiazhen.
He Yuzhu has never been very fond of women like Lou Xiao'e who are a little plump.
However, after He Yuzhu had two blind dates ruined by Xu Damao in a row, he decided to fight back and steal the tower this time.
Even if He Yuzhu cannot marry Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a big capitalist, she cannot be left to Xu Damao.
When Director Wang heard He Yuzhu reveal the woman's identity, he was stunned:
"Zhu Zi, did you just get up and are you still sleepy? Director Lou's daughter is a lady from a famous family. Will she agree to a blind date with you?"
"Director Wang, look at what you said. Director Lou's daughter is indeed good, but I, He Yuzhu, am not bad either."
He Yuzhu said, took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Director Wang:
"Director Wang, you see, I'm 22 years old this year. I've obtained a high school diploma through self-study, and I'm also a national level 4 chef. I won't talk about how much I earn. I'm definitely not as rich as the Lou family, but I was invited to participate in the preparation of the state banquet at the Second Generation Meeting last year. You see, how many outstanding young people like me are there in the entire city of Beijing?"
Director Wang looked through the notebook carefully and found that it did contain many records of He Yuzhu's business trips and attendance at state banquets, and even many photos of He Yuzhu with senior leaders.
"Zhu Zi, I didn't expect that there is such a capable person like you in our street. I didn't even know about it."
He Yuzhu laughed:
"Director, I like to keep a low profile. If it weren't for marrying a good wife, I wouldn't want to bring these things out."
"Okay, I get it."
Director Wang closed the notebook and looked at He Yuzhu with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"I'll go to the Lou family for you, but I can't guarantee whether they agree or not. After all, nowadays people emphasize 'freedom of marriage and freedom of love'."
"Director, I'm still going to have to ask you to take care of this matter. It would be best if you could help me arrange a meeting with the daughter of the Lou family. If she doesn't agree after the meeting, I will give up."
When He Yuzhu said this, Director Wang stopped being shy:
"Okay, go back and wait for the news. I'll go over there sometime in the next two days."
After seeing He Yuzhu off, Director Wang took the notebook and went home.
Director Wang’s wife’s surname is Qian and she works in the district.
"Old Qian, why are you off work so early today?"
"It's not that I came back early, it's that you came back late."
Old Qian looked at his wife holding the notebook in her hand, looking absent-minded, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hongxiu, what are you holding in your hand? Is it the assignment for the street?"
"This is the work record book of a cook in our street office."
Wang Hongxiu told her husband about He Yuzhu's story.
“Are there still such capable people in your street?”
Lao Qian and Wang Hongxiu do not work in the same district. When he heard Wang Hongxiu's sigh, he was still a little skeptical.
Wang Hongxiu handed the notebook directly to her man.
There was only one name on the first page, three large bold Song-style characters written with a brush.
"Good word!"
Looking at these three words, Lao Qian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Silver hook and iron pen, it's rare for a cook to write such beautiful words."
Because of the first impression, Lao Qian slowly turned to the second page.
A newspaper cutout was tucked into the second page.
Then turn the pages and you will see He Yuzhu's random notes and newspaper clippings, and sometimes there will be a paragraph written by He Yuzhu at the bottom of the newspaper.
After flipping through half of the book, the newspaper was gone and the back was filled with various photos.
The photos mainly contain some work photos of He Yuzhu, with photo information written below.
Time, place, what happened, being invited by which organization, participating in which activities, or receiving which honors, etc.
Old Qian looked through it carefully and found that He Yuzhu had not wasted these years.
In recent years, He Yuzhu has basically visited various places of all sizes in the city.
After this calculation, Lao Qian had a general understanding of He Yuzhu's abilities.
"This is a talent."
After reading it once, Lao Qian couldn't help but read it again.
The more Lao Qian looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Fortunately, Wang Hongxiu patted her man's shoulder in time and woke him up: "Old Qian, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Lao Qian came back to his senses, put the notebook on the table, and couldn't help asking, "Hongxiu, how did this notebook get into your hands?"
Director Wang explained: "Xiao He wanted to find a partner, but was afraid that the woman would not agree, so he gave me this book, hoping to get some points with the woman."
Old Qian frowned: "Who is the woman?"
"Lou Zhendong, the director of the steel mill."
It was blocked, so I modified it and sent it out again.
