Chapter 94 Jia Dongxu is still dead.
He Yuzhu left the guesthouse, and the guesthouse was finally able to appoint a deputy director and then a director.
This place was originally He Yuzhu's private property, and he had been in charge of managing the guesthouse since he was a clerk.
Even at its busiest, no leader from the steel rolling mill would ever take up a post at the guesthouse. He Yuzhu was the sole authority in charge of the guesthouse.
Although Zhang Shijie and Ma Hua are now quite good cooks, they can't manage the guesthouse like He Yuzhu, so naturally, other leaders need to be arranged to come.
He Yuzhu didn't interfere; all he could do for his two apprentices was teach them cooking skills.
Besides, they weren't government officials; at most, they were just chefs with higher ranks and higher salaries.
He Yuzhu no longer needs to stay at the guesthouse to cook for others, so his current job is much easier.
He Yuzhu starts work at eight o'clock every day and sits in his office to check the latest documents.
If subordinates have something to report, they will come over. If not, they will basically stay inside drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
If you're a leader, you have to make a fuss, and your subordinates won't want to see you often. Besides, the guesthouse has a director, and the cafeteria has a manager.
Each of them has their own work responsibilities, and they certainly don't want to be constantly criticized by He Yuzhu.
At noon, He Yuzhu would go to the guesthouse's small kitchen to watch Zhang Shijie and Ma Hua cook. This wasn't an inspection; it was simply to get Zhang Shijie and Ma Hua out of training as quickly as possible.
If I see them doing something wrong, I will teach them whenever I feel like it. As a master, I am definitely responsible for teaching my apprentices well.
He Yuzhu was unusually meticulous in teaching his apprentices.
In particular, He Yuzhu is very concerned about his reputation and doesn't want people to gossip behind his back about his inability to teach his apprentices.
Then he'd be just like Yi Zhonghai, which isn't a good reputation.
Zhang Shijie, MCA can now basically meet those special needs tasks.
But it certainly doesn't compare to when He Yuzhu was around. Back then, He Yuzhu was highly praised by the leaders.
Nowadays, people eat alright, but the taste is always a bit lacking.
When it comes to cooking skills, a slight difference can make a world of difference.
Otherwise, you might think that even an eighth-level chef can make delicious hot and sour shredded potatoes, but a first-level chef's version won't be as impressive.
This is related to your experience and talent. Often, a lifetime of cooking doesn't necessarily make someone better than someone who learns in just a few years. He Yuzhu tried his best to personally teach Zhang Shijie and Ma Hua. However, he understood that Ma Hua's talent was inferior to Zhang Shijie's.
Ma Hua will at best be a level three chef in his entire career, while Zhang Shijie has the potential to break through to level one.
He Yuzhu knew that he couldn't exhaust his strength, because human power could never overcome the will of Heaven.
Furthermore, even a third-level chef from the MCA will not lack money in the future.
After the reform and opening up, the other party was only forty years old, and could have continued to shine for another twenty years.
Such culinary skills are quite respectable in Beijing; one doesn't necessarily need to be a top chef. Especially after the reform and opening up, the number of wealthy people increased dramatically.
Anyone with even a little cooking skill can make a lot of money. He Yuzhu from the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) provided him with meticulous instruction, giving him a solid foundation in culinary skills.
While he may not be as renowned as some of the top chefs, he could easily be a head chef in a typical restaurant. Besides, he can certainly improve over time; sometimes practice makes perfect.
Li Huaide had asked He Yuzhu last time if he needed to arrange a room for him in the Yubu Building.
He Yuzhu refused. He had seen the cadre housing, although it was a detached house.
However, the house is too small; even deputy-division-level cadres only get 80 square meters. Besides, with upstairs and downstairs, plus the large number of children now, it's not actually that comfortable to live in.
I now live in a room that is nearly 120 square meters, plus another 15 square meters in the side room.
This is about the same size as a future 200-square-meter apartment, so there's absolutely no need to go to the cadre building.
Now, He Yushui occasionally goes home to stay in the side room.
The main house has three bedrooms on the second floor. He Yuzhu and Liu Yulan live in the master bedroom.
The son and daughter live in the two secondary bedrooms.
On the contrary, in the cadre building, which has three bedrooms and one living room, their family, including He Yushui and their daughter He Feifei, squeezed into one room.
The main issue is that the Ho family owns private property. Others exchange houses for other houses, so there's no reason for them to exchange their private property for a tenement building.
The cadre housing looks good now, but he'll definitely regret it later. He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't choose to live here.
Giving up the spot to someone else earns a reputation for high moral character.
In the courtyard houses and alleyways, He Yuzhu's reputation was never good. But at the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu had an excellent reputation.
During those difficult years, Yi Zhonghai and his group still caused trouble for He Yuzhu several times. They even planned to force He Yuzhu to procure supplies for them.
That time, He Yuzhu called the police directly and arranged for the steel mill's security department to arrest the person. If the deaf old lady hadn't knelt on the ground pleading for mercy, something terrible would have happened in the courtyard that day.
In short, those old foxes were constantly restless, trying to find something on He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was also puzzled; what was going on in their minds? After being repeatedly thwarted, why were they still making such a fuss?
In reality, Yi Zhonghai wasn't sure either; he just felt that things shouldn't be this way. He felt he should keep Sha Zhu under control, regardless of whether the other party was a deputy director or not.
Or rather, the people in the courtyard never regarded He Yuzhu as a leader.
Liu Haizhong was so obsessed with officialdom that he would bring Zhonghua cigarettes to offer to his superiors every day, but he never paid any attention to He Yuzhu.
It seemed as if He Yuzhu, the deputy director, was not a leader of the steel rolling mill. In fact, He Yuzhu had really misunderstood Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong is truly brainless, especially since Yi Zhonghai often mentions in his ear that He Yuzhu is just a cook.
This gave Liu Haizhong the impression that He Yuzhu's official position was merely a way for the leaders to appease him, and that no matter how high his rank, he was still just a cook.
He Yuzhu was slacking off in the office today, drinking Maojian tea and smoking Huazi cigarettes.
"Zhu Zi, something happened in the workshop. It was Huai Ru's husband, Jia Dongxu."
Liu Lan slipped into He Yuzhu's office from outside; she was now staying in the guesthouse's small kitchen.
As the factory's gossipmonger, I always received all sorts of rumors and tidbits immediately.
He Yuzhu often got information from Liu Lan. When he heard Liu Lan say that Jia Dongxu was in trouble, He Yuzhu felt that his fate was very unfortunate.
It's already September 1962, and I never expected that the other party still couldn't escape this calamity.
According to the plot, Jia Dongxu's accident occurred at the end of 61.
He Yuzhu originally thought that his life had changed and that Jia Dongxu might be able to live to a peaceful end.
"Alright, don't go around saying things like that outside. After all, the factory is in a very passive position in this kind of situation."
Liu Lan rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, as if to say, "Do you think I'm that stupid?"
The two knew each other well and there was no need for formalities. Liu Lan had been living comfortably these past few years and had become increasingly charming.
Liu Lan must have seen it; she just chuckled and ran away.
They're an old married couple, and they didn't bother to pretend.
Even Liu Xin is slowly beginning to understand something. Although he calls He Yuzhu "uncle," he actually treats him like his own father.
Sometimes He Yuzhu would stay overnight in Fuxiang Hutong, and Liu Xin would get especially excited, always sandwiched between He Yuzhu and Liu Lan, talking non-stop.
Liu Yulan had long suspected that her husband was having an affair, but being clever, she never argued with He Yuzhu.
For Liu Yulan, being able to marry He Yuzhu was the happiest thing in the world.
If you get jealous and make a scene that ends up leading to a divorce, you'll probably be laughed at by everyone.
Brother Zhu hands over all his salary. Even if he has connections outside, they'll probably only give him a little bit of kindness. If she doesn't even have that much magnanimity, she deserves to be replaced.
Brother Zhu's kindness to her and the Liu family is higher than the sky. Why should her two younger sisters marry into the city, and into good families at that?
My younger brother has now become a full-fledged truck driver, and he's even been given a room in a nearby tenement.
He Yuzhu ran around decorating the house and buying furniture, spending five hundred yuan on just one side room.
Originally less than 40 square meters, it was transformed into a two-story house of nearly 80 square meters.
The house has now been converted into a living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs.
Even if I get married and have children in the future, I won't have to worry about not having enough room to live.
Even her younger brother said, "Second sister, you can't argue with your brother-in-law. Otherwise, we, as your family, won't be able to speak up for you."
He Yuzhu has done so much for the Liu family that it's hard for many people to believe it.
Liu Yulan is beautiful, but does that mean she has to treat a country girl like this?
Liu Yulan herself felt that this was good, but it made her somewhat uneasy.
Now that Brother Zhu has someone outside, Liu Yulan actually feels more at ease.
At least she won't cause trouble, and she'll even actively cover it up.
Liu Yulan had suspected Qin Huairu across the street; sometimes when Qin Huairu chatted with her, the way she looked at her was too obvious.
But Zhu Zi wasn't home, while the other person was, so Liu Yulan didn't know who it was.
He Yuzhu didn't bother to inquire about it, since there were people in the factory specifically in charge of this procedure.
The chances of accidents are high for steel rolling mill workers; there are several fatalities every year.
When He Yuzhu finished get off work in the afternoon and returned to the courtyard house, the mourning hall had already been set up.
Qin Huairu stood there in white, while Xiao Dang knelt there to thank the guests.
Yi Zhonghai, as Jia Dongxu's mentor, was also busy making arrangements.
Jia Dongxu had no savings; in fact, he had several tens of yuan in debt. The factory also advanced the money for the funeral; there was no scene of a company-wide donation meeting.
On the one hand, this is not true, and on the other hand, steel rolling mills would not ignore their workers.
Another group includes Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, who are now just ordinary people in the hospital.
The three old men had long been forgotten by the birds in the courtyard. Everyone was doing quite well now and didn't want a few more people to manage them.
He Yuzhu also helped, and Jia Dongxu was cremated and buried the next day.
Jia Dongxu got into trouble, and Qin Huairu took his place.
He Yuzhu explained the work at the factory to Qin Huairu, saying that she shouldn't go to the workshop because it was too tiring and tough.
Let's go work as hotel room attendants. Liu Lan also works at the hotel, so it would be nice for the two sisters to keep each other company.
Like Liu Lan, the apprentice's salary is 27.5 yuan per month.
The factory gave her a one-time compensation of 300 yuan. Qin Huairu used it to pay off several tens of yuan of her debts and saved the rest.
She and He Yuzhu were together the longest, and now they have more than 1,200 yuan in their bank savings account.
With the current pension, the savings amount to a total of 1,500 yuan.
