Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu took out two apples from the box, gave one to each of the two people, and asked them to taste it.

When Director Yang saw the big, red apple, his eyes lit up and he took it and took a bite. "Mmm, it's delicious, crisp and sweet. Director Li, try it."

Director Yang: "Zhu Zi, how many apples like this do you have at home? Give me 10 boxes and I'll buy them." The Spring Festival is coming soon, and he wants to buy a few more boxes to give as New Year gifts.

Director Li was unwilling to be left behind. "I want 10 boxes, too. How much do you think per pound?"

He Yuzhu looked around and said, "How is it? Is it delicious? This kind of fruit tree is planted in the base of our factory. My wife found the sapling for me. How is it? My wife is amazing, isn't she? It just didn't bear fruit this year, but it will probably grow apples next year. You just wait and see."

Director Li snorted. Does he look like a real man in this city if he keeps his wife hanging on his belt every day?

Director Yang: "Really? Zhuzi, you did a great job! Your trip to Inner Mongolia is a great achievement. Merits deserve rewards. How about this? I will promote you to be the canteen director at the end of the year. What do you think, Director Li?"

Director Li thought to himself, you have already taken my lines, what else can I say? He could only nod in agreement.

The two leaders were eating apples with gusto when He Yuzhu dropped another bombshell. He said, "Director Yang, Director Li, this trip to Inner Mongolia has suddenly opened my eyes. Do you think we should go to Tianjin and bring back some seafood?"

Director Li: "Why, do you have any connections?"

He Yuzhu: "Of course. My apprentice Feng Dashuan lives by the sea. His father is the village secretary and has a wide range of responsibilities. He has everything from salted fish, kelp, dried shrimp, to fresh fish and shrimp."

Director Yang: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Fish is also meat. As long as it tastes good, we want it."

Director Li: "Director Yang, how about this? We can sell some of the beef and mutton at the warehouse door to other manufacturers. The price can't be too low, because we have to add labor and freight costs. Is that okay? One yuan and thirty cents per pound, take it or leave it. With the extra money, we can go to Tianjin to buy seafood and come back to improve the food for our factory employees."

Director Yang: "Let's do it. I was just wondering how to get rid of them. Director Li is right. It's up to you if you want to."

After Director Yang left, Director Li gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up and said, "Great, really great! I think in the near future, my position will be yours."

He Yuzhu: "I think Director Li's title needs to be changed. He will soon become Deputy Director Li."

Director Li was secretly happy. This kid had guessed it right. His father-in-law had told him that because of his recent outstanding performance, he would soon be the deputy director of the steel mill in charge of logistics. Good news came from the delivery room. He was promoted!

These apples were brought back by Xu Jianshe from Xujiawan. Xu Huizhen took a look and found that they were slightly smaller than those harvested in her space, but the taste was similar.

Now that the new variety has been grown, Xu Huizhen wants to take out the apples in her space and digest them, otherwise they will just pile up in the space and take up space.

If this attracts other people's attention and someone wants to investigate, the origin of the apples will be known. As for the quantity, no one probably cares because they have all been eaten, so how can we check it?

She also deliberately asked He Yuzhu to give it to Director Yang and Director Li, hoping to pass it on to higher authorities through their hands. It would be best to attract the attention of relevant departments, so that the agricultural department may promote planting.

Apples are more durable than peaches, apricots and other fruits. Maybe they can be exported to the Soviet Union instead of grain to repay foreign debts. Alas, I am worrying about nothing. In the words of later generations, I am earning the salary of selling cabbages, but I am worried about selling white powder. How hard it is!

In her previous life, she had seen such a report: China owed a huge foreign debt to the Soviet Union and used grain to pay off the debt. The Soviets conducted strict inspections, and if they found any unqualified grain, they would dump it directly into the river, which was very infuriating.

The Chinese people are not getting enough to eat. If the food is not up to standard, why don't you return it to us? Why waste food? This is really too much!

It is not known whether this report is true or false. Xu Huizhen was very angry when she saw it. She was extremely angry. Everyone has a patriotic heart.

Therefore, she was determined that the new variety of apples could be successfully planted. She didn't believe that you would not like to eat such good apples and make the Soviet people drool. Humph!

By then, maybe the system will give her something as a reward. How could Xu Hui really have any bad intentions? She just wanted to prevent a few people from starving to death during this famine year. What a damn kind-hearted woman!

In the past few days, many disaster victims have flocked to the capital. Some have relatives in the capital and come to rely on relatives and friends. Some feel that they have nowhere else to go and come to the capital, maybe there is a way to survive.

Each neighborhood committee received an order from their superiors to try to accommodate the victims, and the state would distribute relief food to the victims according to the number of people. Their neighborhood committee was also assigned 70 to 80 people, so Xu Huizhen and Director Wang were very busy arranging housing and meals, and some people in poor health needed medical treatment.

Xu Huizhen traveled through time from the modern era. In the future, the supply of materials is sufficient, and she has never experienced a life of hunger and cold. Seeing the miserable conditions of these disaster victims, she was greatly shocked. They were really miserable, with dull eyes, pale faces, ragged clothes, and a horrible sight.

She couldn't hold back her compassion, so she used the space to secretly add some rice and flour to the disaster relief food, thinking that every bit of help counts.

During dinner in the evening, Xu Huizhen looked at the faces of each family member one by one. They all had a rosy complexion. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their faces were glowing.

Xu Huizhen's family had a very good diet, with plenty of meat, eggs, and grains. The food was a combination of meat and vegetables, and nutritious.

She said thoughtfully: "We have attracted thieves to our house, shouldn't we be more low-key?"

Everyone was eating happily, but after hearing what Xu Huizhen said, they all looked up, with a puzzled look on their faces: "So low-key? Eat less?"

Xu Huizhen: "Look at your own faces, and then look at the faces of other people on the street. Don't you notice any difference?"

Hu Yingzi suddenly realized, "Sister Huizhen, do you mean to put some soot on your face when you go out? I heard from my mother that when the little book came into the village, young women would put some soot on their faces. They were afraid that they would be raped by those beasts."

Han Qingqiu spit out the rice with a "Puff". Hu Yingzi's train of thought was very unconventional.

Xu Huizhen...

Xu Jianshe glanced at Hu Yingzi and said, "It's not that serious. It's necessary to get some sun exposure to make yourself look darker, or to apply some wax to make your face look yellower."

Because there was a thief in their house, in order to prevent theft, He Yuzhu and Xu Jianshe pulled a wire on the wall of their house, and then hung a bell on the wire to make a simple anti-theft device. The wisdom of the masses is endless, Xu Huizhen tried it and it worked well!

Listen to me, little thief. If you dare to steal food again, I will teach you a lesson! Covering your ears and stealing the bell will not work!
