Chapter 11: Veteran
Focus your consciousness,

Looking at the numerous and various strange titles displayed on the life-buying money, He Yuzhu quickly made a decision.
Consume 1 life-buying coin to purchase the [New Soldier] title;
Consume 1 life-saving coin to upgrade [New Soldier] to [Veteran].

The reason why he did this was naturally to gain powerful combat power.

Being able to use a gun only makes him a cannon fodder at best. If He Yuzhu wants to become an excellent soldier, he needs to learn a lot of things.

But he happened to be in Beijing in 1948.

Naturally, it is impossible to join Bai Gouzi at this time to learn how to become a warrior.

What's more, the new recruits of the White Dogs were all forced to recruit men. They had no training at all. Whether they could survive on the battlefield depended entirely on luck.

From the moment they were tied up and forcibly conscripted, various military laws, diseases, and hunger during the march would cause the number of able-bodied men to begin to decrease. After several rounds of brutal battles, only one in ten of the able-bodied men would survive.

It's completely about risking your life to adapt to the battlefield.

He Yuzhu was nothing like him. He spent only two coins to get through the most dangerous early stage and became a well-trained veteran who could use various battlefield skills.

Physical fitness has also been comprehensively improved.

This feeling of full harvest made him unable to stop.
After weighing the pros and cons, he couldn't help but spend another life-saving coin to upgrade his title to [Veteran of a Hundred Battles].

next moment,
Rich practical experience poured into his mind.

He Yuzhu felt like a veteran who had survived hundreds of battles. He instinctively knew how to protect himself and kill a large number of enemies on the battlefield.
Definitely the elite in the army.

What surprised him even more was that as a "veteran of hundreds of battles", he actually had the ability to drive a vehicle, and his driving skills were also integrated.

……

After taking a look at the title of [Chef Apprentice], He Yuzhu did not plan to upgrade.
First, he is still young, and his master is He Daqing, his biological father, so he is not eager to upgrade to a chef.
The second reason is, of course, poverty.

An opportunity like today's big harvest is hard to come by, so the remaining three life-saving coins must be kept to save your life.

Shut down the system.

Thinking that he had suddenly gained 10 kilograms in weight, He Yuzhu hurriedly touched his neck, cuffs and trouser legs and found that his height had not changed much.
I reached out and touched my belly again. It was still soft.

This relieved him.

You have to know that Beiping is a public bathhouse. If he suddenly becomes sharp-edged, it will definitely arouse He Daqing's suspicion.

As for where the 20 kilograms of meat went,
He Yuzhu didn't know either.
Maybe it will gradually increase in the future.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu secretly thanked himself for exchanging it first and then using it, otherwise he would definitely fall into a trap.
At this moment, He Yushui, who was lying on the kang, turned over. Since he didn't see anyone, he woke up suddenly.

"elder brother?"

Hearing his sister's puzzled voice and thinking that it was getting late, He Yuzhu lay back on the kang.

"I'm here! Get up and go to sleep!"

"Oh!"

He Yushui muttered something, then rested her little head on his arm, put one foot on his body and fell asleep again.

Looking at his sister who was sleeping soundly, He Yuzhu pulled over the thin quilt and fell into a deep sleep as well.

The next morning, He Yuzhu felt an itch in his nose while half asleep.
"Ah sneeze!
"Woo..." "Hehe..., brother! Hurry up and get up, get up and comb my hair."

Seeing his naughty sister rubbing her nose with the ends of her hair and looking at him with a smile, He Yuzhu climbed up from the kang helplessly.

Then he did what he remembered Shazhu doing every day.

"I'll get up and comb your hair.
But you have to give me the comb first, and I will remove the lice for you."

Hearing this, He Yushui quickly climbed up from the kang, picked up the comb on the kang head and handed it to He Yuzhu.
"Here, brother, hurry up, dad will urge us soon!"

"it is good!"

In this era of hunger and cold, lice are a common phenomenon among adults and children.
Even if you pack up cleanly and go out,
After wandering around, there is a high probability that a few of them will jump over from those dirty pedestrians.

So catching lice became a daily necessity.

He Yuzhu combed He Yushui's hair with a fine-toothed comb, and then used his fingernails to kill the lice that the comb had caught.

Listening to the "crackling, crackling, crackling" sounds, He Yuzhu felt inexplicably happy.

After catching the lice, He Yuzhu picked up the red hairband and braided her sister's hair into pigtails.

You know what, Sha Zhu's skills are pretty good. Even though it was He Yuzhu's first time to braid her hair, the result looked pretty good.

"Brother, it's my turn! It's my turn to catch lice for you."

Seeing his sister standing up quickly, He Yuzhu smiled, turned his back, and handed the comb to her.

"Okay! It's your turn!"

After catching the lice, He Yuzhu looked at the time and found that it was already 6 o'clock in the morning. The brother and sister came out of the side room and went straight to the main room.

He Daqing had gotten up early and was standing at the door of his house, gargling his mouth with salt in a large bowl.

"father!"

"Hurry up, both of you. After you wash up, let's go make breakfast. We can't delay Mrs. Zhang's family's business."

Although I couldn't stand Jia Zhang's harshness,
But his family is a chef, and cooking is his duty. He Yuzhu still has this professional ethics, so he naturally did not object.

……

After breakfast,

Everyone in the courtyard started to work according to their respective division of labor.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Fugui helped Jia Zhang and her son receive the neighbors and the relatives and friends of the Jia family in the mourning shed in the middle courtyard;

Yan Bugui set up a table in the front yard, collecting gifts while writing elegiac couplets.

His calligraphy would often draw applause from the guests.

He Daqing and his son, along with the aunts and grannies, set up stoves and chopping boards in the back room beside the gate to process the fresh ingredients that had just been delivered.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.
Then He Yuzhu heard He Daqing telling him,

"Zhu Zi, go to the gate of the courtyard and see what's going on outside. What's going on?"

At this time, He Yuzhu had actually guessed what was going on.
But after hearing He Daqing's instructions, he walked to the gate of the courtyard without saying a word.
