Siheyuan: He Yuzhu starts with god-level cooking skills

On this day, He Yuzhu was cooking delicious food in the kitchen, preparing to send it to Chen Xueru.

At this time, He Daqing came running over excitedly. "Zhuzi! I have something to tell you. Aunt Zhao is pregnant!"

Hearing the news, He Yuzhu was both surprised and happy.

You know, considering He Daqing's age, it is not easy to have another child at this time. If it is not a special case, other families may worry about not being able to take care of the child.

This arduous task naturally fell on He Yuzhu, the elder brother.

But he showed no sign of anxiety.

Over the years, although no major missions have come, a lot of small tasks have accumulated. Although they cannot significantly enhance his strength, the accumulation of materials is considerable, and there are also reserve materials in the system space.

Most of it is stored for future use.

Even if it has to feed tens of thousands of people, it can do it with ease.

But for Zhao Fang, having a family member is indeed a great comfort.

After weighing the pros and cons, he spoke carefully: "Dad, you know, my medical skills are not bad...why don't you let me go and treat Aunt Zhao? After all, giving birth at an advanced age is very dangerous."

He Yuzhu is not making this statement lightly. Modern medicine has already proven the risks of pregnancy at an advanced age, not to mention in ancient times.

He Daqing certainly agreed with this and nodded: "Okay, she's at home, let's go check on her later."

With that said, He Daqing left and rushed to the restaurant to work, his heart filled with melancholy.

The future of the restaurant business is already worrying, and now that there are more children in the family, he can't help but sigh about the difficulty of making a living in the future.

Indeed, if He Yuzhu were really asked to take on the responsibility of raising the child, it would be a bit embarrassing for He Daqing at the moment.

It would be embarrassing for anyone to ask their own son to take care of their children.

However, people of that era faced many difficulties and there were many children, so it was not uncommon for the eldest brother to take care of his younger brother, and many people were accustomed to it.

When He Daqing was forced to leave and let his child He Yushui rely on He Yuzhu, he was helpless. After all, he was deeply controlled by the White Widow at that time. If He Yuzhu had not used the threat of the Military Control Commission, the money would probably have fallen into the hands of the White Widow long ago.

But in recent years, He Daqing has worked diligently and has saved some money under the protection of the owner of Tianxianglou.

Although Zhao Fang did not go out to work, she was able to supplement the family income by doing some needlework at home.

With an economic foundation, He Daqing no longer relied on He Yuzhu, and he had enough ability to support himself.

After a while, when He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, he found that it had undergone considerable changes over the years.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu already have two children, and the third child is already growing in Qin Huairu's womb.

When Qin Huairu first saw He Yuzhu, her eyes flashed, but when she thought of the child she was pregnant with and the fact that she was about to become a mother of three, she sighed deeply.

She realized that she seemed to have no chance with He Yuzhu.

She also often heard He Daqing describe what an outstanding girlfriend He Yuzhu had, who was a college student with a wealthy family and whom she was going to marry after graduation.

Despite this, Qin Huairu did not completely believe that the He family was as wealthy as he said.

She thought that if that person was really great, he would definitely find a better home, such as the children of a leading family.

No matter how outstanding He Yuzhu was, Qin Huairu knew that he might not look down upon her, after all, the gap between them was too big.

However, in her heart, Qin Huairu also understood that even if the conditions were not good, they were at least better than those of a mother of three like her, and she had a rural household registration.

In the past, rural household registration did not cause too many problems, and there was still discrimination between urban and rural areas, but this was mainly due to rural poverty and lack of social experience.

Moreover, because farmers do not bathe and clean themselves as often as city dwellers do, they often have a special smell on their bodies.

For this reason, Qin Huairu has tried her best to learn about urban life in order to integrate into it over the years.

But the situation is different now.

Although it has not been officially announced, information from the street office indicates that in the near future, receipts will be required for the purchase of food and other necessities, and urban residents will be able to receive them every month based solely on their household registration.

As a person with rural household registration, she can only buy these foods at high prices, which makes her face the gap in status again.

The fact that her household registration cannot be changed is something she cannot hide no matter how hard she tries.

Qin Huairu was full of envy that He Yuzhu's family all had city hukou.

Whether it is He Daqing, He Yuzhu himself or Zhao Fang's unborn child, no matter how the world changes, their lives will not be troubled by food shortages.

The wealth that He Daqing and He Yuzhu have accumulated today further confirms the reason for her envy.

Noticing that Qin Huairu was staring at him eagerly, He Yuzhu did not immediately step forward to greet her.

He knew her character well and didn't want to give her a sense of disappointment after having any expectations.

Therefore, he decided to hold back for the time being.

Otherwise, the woman will possess you and suck your blood.

Early on, everything seemed fine.

Although the large population of the Jia family made life increasingly difficult, they were still able to make do with the help of Yi Zhonghai.

However, in the era of tickets, the situation was completely different.

It is extremely difficult for the Jia family just to survive, let alone anything else.

He Yuzhu didn't delve into the details and went straight to Zhao Fang's house.

After checking the patient's pulse, he wrote out a prescription.

"Aunt, you should rest more and stop working so hard."

"Anyway, the family doesn't need the money."

"We'll talk about this after you give birth."

"Oh, I see. I see."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Zhao Fang smiled and nodded in agreement.

She was very satisfied with him and felt that He Yuzhu was even more reliable than his cousin He Daqing.

In these years, she has never suffered any injustice.

At this time, Qin Huairu returned home and looked at the only stored supplies, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, we are running low on food right now."

"At that time, food will need to be purchased with food stamps, and the price of commercial food will only rise accordingly."

"How about you take out some of your pension temporarily so we can store some food?"

"Otherwise, how will we live in the future?"

After saying these words, Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling helpless.

She had known for a long time that since she married into the Jia family, Jia Dongxu had to pay alimony to her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, every month.

Before marrying into this family, the Jia family's property was almost entirely in the hands of Jia Zhang.

In addition, after the death of her father-in-law, whom she had never met, the steel mill paid her a considerable pension.

Jia Zhang did have a lot of financial resources.

Qin Huairu had never seen her spend a penny and knew that this daughter-in-law valued money more than anything else.

Originally, she didn't dare to touch this wealth.

But now, she can hardly even maintain her own life, so naturally she has no time to worry about those things.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's request, Jia Zhang jumped up like a cat that had been bitten.

"What money? I don't have any money!"

"Is the food shortage just because you, the money-loser, are from the countryside?"

"The baby you gave birth to is also a loss-making thing!"

"It's good enough for my grandson to eat commercial grain. How can you be on the same level as this money-loser?"

"Besides, if you were pregnant with a daughter, I would show you how I would deal with you, such an unfilial person!"

Listening to Jia Zhang's cursing, Qin Huairu burst into tears out of grievance.

Jia Zhang also came from a rural background. Apart from Jia Dongxu, he was the only one in the Jia family with a city hukou. How could she accuse him like this?

Furthermore, as a mother, can she control the gender of the baby in her belly?

Although she felt extremely aggrieved, Qin Huairu chose to remain silent at this moment.

Ever since she had Sophora japonica, her status in Jia Zhang's eyes became worse and worse.

If she interrupts and talks too much again, she will probably suffer physical pain again!

Even when she was pregnant, Jia Zhang had no intention of treating her well.

After a few rounds of scolding, Jia Zhang's anger subsided a little and she felt much better.

But the fact is that we do need to stockpile more food.

Otherwise, your future life will be extremely difficult!

However, there was no way she would pay for it.

We must find a way to make money!

Just as Jia Zhang was secretly thinking about it, she suddenly noticed that her eyes suddenly lit up after Yi Zhonghai came back from the outer courtyard.

It happened to be a Sunday, so most people in the yard were resting at home.

Faced with the current poverty, can the Jia family rely on the help of everyone? After all, when Old Jia passed away, she asked Yi Zhonghai to help her, and the people in the courtyard generously helped her many times.

Since then, everyone has witnessed how well the Jia family has been taken care of.

Therefore, Jia Zhang raised Dongxu alone, and although he was lazy, it did not affect his livelihood.

But as the situation of the people in Dongxu's backyard became more difficult, the help was reduced.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but smile and felt proud.

In this small courtyard, she is the only one who can come up with such a brilliant idea!

"Forget it, it's just a little food that worries you so much." Jia Zhang turned around and went to find Yi Zhonghai for help. "Just stay at home and wait. I'll go and raise some money for more food."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but wonder: How could Jia Zhang ask for Yi Zhonghai's help? Could she just ask for money? Even if Yi Zhonghai could give her help, how much could he give? This amount alone might not be enough to solve the food problem.

Although Qin Huairu was full of doubts, she quickly put them behind her.

Jia Zhang was responsible for all the daily chores in the household, and she didn't even do the laundry.

Dongxu goes gambling when he's not working, making life at home a mess.

This made the originally hardworking Qin Huairu so tired that she just wanted to rest and had no time to think more.

After leaving the house, Jia Zhang walked towards Yi Zhonghai who was busy with work with a smile on her face and said, "Old Yi, I have something to discuss with you. Please stay for a moment."

Yi Zhonghai looked her up and down, then responded, "Sister-in-law has asked me to speak, Xu'er is my disciple, no need to be polite." The implication was that as long as it was help within his ability, he would do his best.

This was exactly the answer Jia Zhang had been expecting, so she didn't hesitate any longer: "Then I'll get straight to the point."

"You know, food rationing will start soon, and those of us without city hukou will have to use commercial grain.

Huairu is still pregnant, and the stalks and flowers of the Chinese pagoda tree need nutrition. "Jia Zhang said the problem in one breath, "Our family is really about to be unable to maintain itself.

Can you talk to other people and ask them to donate some money to my family? " After saying this, his tone was pleading and helpless.
