Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 434

Xu Huizhi returned to the house and said to her sister, "Yuezhen is actually quite pretty, but she doesn't usually dress up."

"Yes, it is quite beautiful."

Xu Huizhi said, "What's wrong with Zhuzi today? He keeps getting close to Yuezhen."

Xu Huizhen was still holding the child, playing with him, and said without looking up:

"how could I know."

Huizhi then said, "Sister, don't you think Zhuzi is acting a little strange today?"

Xu Huizhen then raised her head and asked, "Huizhi, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I have nothing to say."

"Since you have nothing to say, why don't you hurry up and pick up the baby?"

During the day, He Yumei and Zhao Yuezhen could help take care of the child, but at night, only the two sisters could take care of the child.

Xu Huizhi picked up the third child and coaxed him until he fell asleep, half an hour later.

He Yuzhu also returned with Zhao Yuezhen.

Xu Huizhen asked, "How is the situation?"

He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation, which was similar to what Zhao Yuezhen had said, adding that it would be even more arduous.

The three generations of the family lived in a cramped house, which was dilapidated and lacked any decent furniture.

When Zhao Yuezhen and He Yuzhu delivered the grain, they were overjoyed.

Seeing that the situation was true, He Yuzhu was relieved. At least Zhao Yuezhen hadn't lied to him; they were just poor, and this was a problem that he could easily solve.

He Yuzhu said, "The situation is even more difficult than Zhao Yuezhen described. The two children are also very sensible, and it's heartbreaking to see them like this."

Xu Huizhen said, "Yuezhen is really something. She didn't say much before. From now on, we'll just send her some grain and meat every month."

"Okay, the child is asleep, let's wash up and go to bed."

He Yuzhu first tormented Xu Huizhi until she was exhausted, and then let Xu Huizhen take over, getting all the essence for herself.

These days, Xu Huizhen wants to have a child, so He Yuzhu uses this method.

Make Xu Huizhi happy first, and then let Xu Huizhen take over, so as not to make her too tired.

It was tough on Xu Huizhi, who was exhausted every day, with a sore back and no rest at all.

Xu Huizhi said with some fear, "Zhuzi, we can't keep going like this. I can't do this on my own!"

Seeing his little face scrunched up, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Huizhi reached out and pinched his waist, scolding, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

He Yuzhu then said, "Just bear with it for a while longer, and things will be fine once your sister gets pregnant."

"You will lie to me."

Xu Huizhi said, "When my sister gets pregnant, she won't be able to take care of you either. Won't that mean I'll have to suffer every day?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. I'm afraid you'll have to do it."

When Xu Huizhi woke up the next morning and He Yuzhu had gone to work, she said, "Sister, Zhuzi is just like a donkey."

Xu Huizhen said, "It's not like you're a newbie."

Xu Huizhi said, "But before, there were other people to share the pressure, and it was my turn every three to five days, so I could rest."

“But lately, Zhu Zi has been tormenting me every day, and my body can’t take it anymore.”

Xu Huizhen asked, "Didn't you say you were going to practice martial arts with Yuezhen?"

Xu Huizhi rolled her eyes: "That's like trying to quench a thirst with water from afar!"

"Then do you suggest any solutions?"

Xu Huizhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, how about we find another girlfriend for Brother Zhuzi so we can all live together at home?"

In the past, Xu Huizhen would certainly have refused.

The reason he tolerated Huizhi living at home and having an affair with He Yuzhu was because he himself could not bear He Yuzhu's daily torment.

So many years have passed, and He Yuzhu has kept his promise not to bring any other women back.

There was never any consideration of giving those children a proper status.

Chen Xueru's child will have the surname Chen, and Xu Zhaodi's child will not have the surname He. Everyone will live peacefully and peacefully.

Xu Huizhen was very satisfied that He Yuzhu had always liked her.

Upon hearing Huizhi's suggestion, she said, "It's not that we can't consider it, but there are very few people that Zhuzi would like and who would be willing to be a concubine to live with us."

Hearing this, Xu Huizhi became somewhat disheartened and said, "Yes, not only do people have to be beautiful, but they also have to have good character, not compete or fight. It's really hard to find someone you can live with."

He Yuzhu never imagined they would find him another concubine. He spent all his time at work in the lab designing, and since it was just trial production, he hadn't considered the production cost at all.

Mass production now is a completely different concept from laboratory production.

Every component needs to be redesigned, production processes need to be developed, or specialized supporting equipment needs to be manufactured.

He Yuzhu studied each part one by one, and it took more than 10 days in total. The first compressor production line was successfully put into operation.

There were quite a few issues at the beginning of production.

Fortunately, there were no major problems overall; they were all minor assembly issues that were corrected in real time, and the production line was gradually improved.

Director Zhu was very dedicated to this project, calling him every two days. After a few days of trial production, He Yuzhu reported the good news to him.

Upon receiving the news, Director Zhu immediately rushed over and led the inspection team to visit and inspect the production line.

He shook He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Congratulations, Comrade He Yuzhu, this is your reward."

Then they handed me a key.

Chapter 312 Driving a Jeep

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then asked, "What is this?"

Director Zhu said, "You don't lack housing or food, and you still ride your bicycle to work every day, so I took it upon myself to get you a jeep."

"jeep?"

He Yuzhu was quite surprised. As far as he knew, the current director of the steel rolling mill owned a Jeep, because he was a bureau-level cadre.

Director Li of the neighborhood committee rides a bicycle to work every day, not to mention He Yuzhu.

Although there were several cars in the space, their origin could not be explained even if they were taken out.

He Yuzhu is now a leading cadre, but his rank is not high enough to warrant a car. He must set an example and not seek special privileges. He can only travel by bicycle most of the time.

They also produce tractors and motorized tricycles in their own factory.

Driving a tractor is too unsightly. Actually, you can also drive a tricycle, but He Yuzhu dislikes the incomplete combustion that produces a lot of black smoke, so he has always been unwilling to drive a tricycle.

I never expected that Director Zhu would reward me with a Jeep today.

"Then I thank Director Zhu."

"No need to be so polite. You should be prepared that this is not a new car, but a used one."

"It's okay, as long as it can be driven," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Director Zhu always assumed that He Yuzhu would complain, since the reward was not a new car, but a used Jeep.

Seeing his attitude put my mind at ease.

Now that He Yuzhu has accepted the key, the reward for getting the air conditioner and refrigerator compressor done has already been given.

Then they talked about the production line. Since they could produce the first one, they should immediately build the second production line.

However, the second production line could not be placed in the machinery factory. Instead, a new factory was built on a plot of land outside Dongzhimen, which will specialize in producing equipment such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers.

"You can't slack off on this work either. There need to be at least three production lines. As for how many more we need, that will have to wait for the higher-ups to decide."

He Yuzhu nodded. This was a matter of taking it one step at a time. As long as the production line could operate smoothly, his factory would be the only one in the country capable of producing such a production line.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, production will be handled by our own machinery factory, and the products will be shipped to factories across the country.

"Boss, please rest assured, the production line will operate smoothly according to plan."

After seeing Director Zhu off, He Yuzhu called out to Lü Xiaomi, "Come on, I need to go to the steel rolling mill."

"Ok."

Lu Xiaomi had no suspicions. She returned to her office to organize some documents, then got into the car and left the factory.

When Xu Xiaomei saw them leave, she spat and said, "What a vixen, she even lured the pillar away."

She refused to believe that He Yuzhu, that old lecher, hadn't made a move on Lü Xiaomi.

However, he remembered that Secretary Lü had warned He Yuzhu, and he still didn't know whether the two of them had actually become lovers.

He drove to the steel rolling mill, found Director Yang, and after some discussion, placed an additional order.

Factory Director Yang was somewhat hesitant, but he still agreed.

The steel rolling mill has effectively reduced its workforce by 3000 people. Currently, the workers are not getting enough to eat, so production tasks have to be reduced to some extent.
