Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu and three others took the opportunity to quickly clear the dead tree lying in the middle of the road.

Seeing that these people were still unwilling to leave, Chen Bin thought that they were just as hungry as the middle-aged man said.

So Chen Bin took a step back and said, "If you step back, we can leave our food with you when we leave."

The injured middle-aged man looked greedy and said, "You have to leave five bags of meat for us. You broke my leg, so this is my compensation."

Chen Bin sneered, "You deserve to die for gathering a crowd to rob important national supplies in broad daylight. We are protecting the supplies on this truck with our lives. If you want them, you have to step on our dead bodies to rob them. I just don't know if you have the ability to do that."

The middle-aged man thought that although they had a large number of people, they had no weapons and their fighting power was not good. Last night, he sent someone to peek at the cargo on the truck and found out that it was meat, so he began to arrange this highway robbery.

I just didn't expect that the people in the car were so well prepared. Not only did they bring so many guns, but the leader was also a ruthless guy. He had no sympathy at all and refused to give an inch.

At this time, He Yuzhu had already cleared the roadblock. The three people quickly got into the car, and the driver slowly started the car. He didn't dare to speed up suddenly, because the security guards were standing in the back of the car. If he accelerated suddenly, they might be shaken down or even fall off the car.

Seeing the car start to move, the refugees became restless and wanted to rush onto the car.

There were two bags of steamed buns in the car, which He Yuzhu prepared for everyone to eat on the road. He thought quickly and took the three of them to grab the steamed buns and throw them to the crowd.

Seeing that there was still half a bag of rice, He Yuzhu was very malicious. He lifted the bag with one hand and put it outside the car window. With the other hand, he left a small hole in the bag and tilted it downward. As the car moved forward, the rice slowly flowed out, leaving a line of white rice on the road. Let them grab it, pick it up one grain at a time, and there will be no time to catch up with the convoy.

Seeing the white steamed buns and rice, the refugees rushed to grab them. There was meat on the train, but they couldn't get it. If they could grab some food, it would not be a wasted trip.

The driver took the opportunity to step on the accelerator and speed up. The person on the truck bed was almost shaken off the truck and quickly grabbed the handrail.

A crisis was resolved just like that. Chen Bin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and finally put his mind at ease.

The road to Beijing was smooth and nothing happened. After arriving home exhausted, He Yuzhu took one of the cars and headed to Daqianmen. He wanted to put the beef and mutton that everyone bought in Cai Quanwu's old house. If we took it to the factory, wouldn't it be snatched away by everyone?

Chen Bin led the other vehicles slowly towards the steel mill. He Yuzhu told everyone to keep their mouths shut and come to Daqianmen after get off work to pick up the meat they bought.

The motorcade slowly drove into the steel mill. Director Yang, Director Li and other factory leaders as well as the majority of workers had been waiting in the yard since they received the news. The welcoming crowd automatically stood on both sides of the road, forming a welcoming gesture.

The car stopped and Chen Bin led everyone out of the car, which was greeted with warm applause. Director Li came over, shook hands with Chen Bin and others one by one, and said, "You have worked hard on the journey. Go back and have a good rest. Leave the unloading to us."

At this time, He Yuzhu's car also drove into the factory. Seeing He Yuzhu, the people in the third canteen hurried over to ask about his well-being. Ma Hua and Feng Dashuan, two apprentices, one holding a large teacup and the other holding a towel.

Ma Hua: "Master, please drink some tea to warm yourself up."

Feng Dashuan was unwilling to be left behind: "Master, here's a hot towel for you to wipe your face. You've worked hard along the way."

Everyone also joked: "Director He, your two apprentices are so thoughtful!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "They are sensible. I love them for what they are worth." Needless to say, with the warning in the dream, he was really sincere to his two apprentices. He not only taught them cooking skills, but also cared about their lives. Sincerity in return for sincerity, the two apprentices also respected and loved their master.

The logistics department was busy counting the quantity and putting the goods into storage. He Yuzhu and Chen Bin went to report to their leaders about the hardships they had along the way.

The two of them talked back and forth like a crosstalk, narrating their experiences along the way in a vivid and emotional way, which was sometimes tense and sometimes humorous.

Hearing about the severity of the disaster outside, Director Li felt deeply fortunate. He was fortunate that he listened to He Yuzhu and made some preparations in advance. Otherwise, as the logistics director, he would be like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.

Director Yang said with a smile on his face: "You two risked your lives to make this trip, and you have made an invaluable contribution. As a reward, your salary will be raised by one level at the end of the year."

The two of them smiled and said in unison: "Thank you, Director."

After reporting on his work, He Yuzhu returned to the canteen and asked his two apprentices to come to his house for dinner in the evening, and also asked them to cook. He was very tired these days, so he let his apprentices do the work of cooking.

In the evening, Cai Quanwu returned home carrying a sack. Li Ye and Jianmei asked curiously, "Quanwu, what did you bring back?"

Cai Quanwu didn't say anything. He opened the sack and ten pounds of beef and half a sheep appeared in front of him.

Although Master Li never left his house, he knew that these were difficult times. He asked with a smile, "Where did you get it from?"

Cai Quanwu said: "Zhu Zi went to Inner Mongolia. He brought some back and gave some to us."

Master Li: "I haven't had enough of the lamb skewers that Zhuzi grilled last time. I'm really craving for it."

Cai Quanwu: "Old man, don't dare to grill skewers. The aroma of the skewers will spread out. Do you believe that it will attract thieves? A thief broke into Huizhen's house two days ago. He didn't steal anything else, but only the food."

Master Li smacked his lips and said, "Forget it. Better safe than sorry. Jianmei, make more tonight so I can satisfy my craving."

Jianmei: "Okay, let you eat as much as you want!"

Cai Quanwu: "Grandpa, we've bought the meat. Don't worry, it will go into our stomachs sooner or later. Our stomachs have been lacking oil and water for a long time, so we can't eat too much meat at once. Our stomachs can't handle it and we'll have diarrhea. I heard from Zhuzi that those people had a big meal of meat in the pastoral area, but when they were going back, some of them had diarrhea halfway through the journey."

Master Li: "Ah? I can't eat to my heart's content? I'm an old man, and that's all I can think of. Can I just sit there and watch?"

Jianmei: "Grandpa, we can eat a little bit, it's the same if we keep it slow and steady."

Grandpa Li said helplessly, "Then I'll listen to you. Jianmei, go and cook. Quanwu, buy more when you have such an opportunity in the future. Don't be reluctant to spend money. I still have some savings, I'll give you some later."

Cai Quanwu: "It's not that I don't want to spend money. I have saved some money over the years, which is enough for me to spend. You said that Zhuzi brought back some meat from thousands of miles away, and he had to give some to his leader and keep some for his family. I took advantage of my seniority and shamelessly snatched these. Are you satisfied?"

Master Li: "Be content, be content. Zhuzi and his wife are good people, and we have benefited a lot from them."
