Chapter 409 Chapter 408 Liu Haizhong's reaction
Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he didn't refute He Daqing's words. Instead, he sat down and teased He Ying while eating.
"Son, dad has been away for so many days, do you miss him?"

He Ying, who was held in Lou Xiao'e's arms, opened his arms and looked at He Yuzhu happily.
"I want you to hold me, Dad."

Seeing He Ying's mouth full of millet porridge, He Yuzhu hugged him and
"What do you think?"

"I think about it every day."

"So nice."

The father and son were interacting, and then He Jianguo asked hopefully,
"Brother, when will you take me to the training ground to play with guns? Brother Qingshan and sister have been there, but I haven't been yet. When will you take me there?"

Seeing the youngest brother looking at him with longing, He Yuzhu was not moved at all.

After all, the little guy is only 8 years old now, and a bullet can break his bones.
"Come on, look at how old you are now. You're only in the second grade and you're already thinking about playing with guns. When you're older, you'll have to play with cannons!

Wait a few more years, when you are eleven or twelve years old, I will take you to the shooting range.

Aren’t your sisters and their friends about the same age?

If you really feel bored, just let your dad teach you wrestling or start teaching you cooking from now on.
So that you don't have random thoughts all day long."

When He Yuzhu asked him to learn cooking from He Daqing right now, He Jianguo shook his head like a rattle.
"Brother, I am only 8 years old.
You actually want me to use such a big kitchen knife to cut vegetables every day. Am I still your brother?
If you don't want to play with guns, then don't play with guns. Who cares?"

Seeing He Jianguo's indignant look, He Yuzhu smiled and touched his head, scolded him for not knowing how lucky he was, and then said nothing more.

At this time, He Daqing had already finished his dinner.
He dropped his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and went out to show off to Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi and others.

By the time He Yuzhu finished his meal and came out of his house, all the neighbors in the courtyard knew the news that he had been promoted again.

When the neighbors in the yard heard the news, their reactions varied.

Backyard Xu's house,

While washing the dishes, Ran Qiuye looked at Xu Damao with a gloomy face and said,

"Tsk, your childhood friend is really extraordinary.
Just because he went out to participate in a confrontation exercise, the militia expanded its size and he was promoted to captain.

This is the leader of 10,000 or 20,000 people.

They are much more powerful than Secretary Ma and his men at your steel rolling mill.

Why don't you find those two bottles of good wine at home and send them to Zhuzi?

Didn’t you say you wanted to be the head of the Propaganda Department? "

When Xu Damao heard his wife asking him to take good wine to curry favor with He Yuzhu, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, and his expression became even gloomier.

"I got Qiuye, you haven't had much contact with Zhuzi, so you don't know him.

He is a very selfish person, and he only thinks about his own future. Even if I gave him a gift, he would not help me.

Giving it to him is no different from feeding it to a dog.
I'd better figure it out myself!"

Ran Qiuye had indeed just married into the Siheyuan not long ago, so she didn't know these neighbors very well.
But she felt that Lou Xiao'e got along well with her and was easy to talk to in daily life, so she asked Xu Damao to give it a try.

After all, Ran Qiuye is only 20 years old, and it is the time when she has ideals and ambitions.
Since Xu Damao said that the back door was not feasible, she did not persuade him any further.
"Okay, then you can do it yourself."

As for the Liu family next door, Liu Guangqi was very envious when he saw Aunt Zhang and Yan Jiecheng were married and living a happy life with a wife and children. He didn't care much about He Yuzhu's affairs.

When his father Liu Haizhong learned that He Yuzhu had been promoted to an administrative level 12 leader, he immediately became active.

However, unlike Ran Qiuye who wanted Xu Damao to give gifts, this old guy had a serious patriarchal style.

He thought that He Yuzhu was the junior who had grown up under his care, so it was only natural for him to say a few good words for him in front of the leaders of the steel rolling mill and get him a small official position.

"Let's go to the middle courtyard to find the pillars.

I need him to help me talk to Secretary Ma and Director Wang and let me be the team leader of the workshop.
This is difficult for us.

But for Zhuzi, it’s just a matter of words, he will definitely help me.”

It was true that He Yuzhu also had this ability, but seeing his father going out empty-handed, Liu Guangqi couldn't help but ask in disbelief,
"Dad, are you going to Zhuzi's house like this?"

"So what? I have watched your father grow up since he was a child. How can he find fault with me?"

Seeing Liu Haizhong's arrogant look, Liu Guangqi had no hope for his going to the Intermediate Court to look for He Yuzhu.
Let's not talk about whether He Yuzhu will accept his things.

But you don't even do the basic things, isn't that disrespectful?

"What then?
Dad, go by yourself. I'll figure out some technical stuff. Isn't it the annual assessment in a few months?

I'll see if I can get promoted to level 2 fitter this year."

Liu Haizhong didn't know that his precious child didn't think highly of his way of doing things, so he didn't want to go.

Seeing that Liu Guangqi was going to delve into technical matters and prepare for promotion, he was very happy and nodded with a grin.

"Okay, I'll go to the middle courtyard first. You stay at home and think about it carefully. If you have any questions, ask me when I come back.
I will try to pass the exam and become a Level 2 or Level 3 worker like Jia Dongxu did."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong walked towards the middle courtyard with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Ran Qiuye, who was washing dishes, saw Liu Haizhong's back through the window glass, turned to look at Xu Damao and asked,
"Second Master has gone to the middle courtyard. Why don't you go with him to take a look?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao raised his head and looked outside the door, thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out.

"Okay, I'll go to the front to see what's going on. After you finish washing the dishes, come out and enjoy the cool air!"

"Got it, I'll be right out."

When Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong arrived at the central courtyard, almost all the neighbors of the courtyard had gathered.

They were all asking about He Yuzhu's militia.

Some people wanted to know if he really had 10,000 or 20,000 men under his command, and some wanted to know if they were qualified to join the militia.
After all, when the militiamen go out for training, the troops provide them with food.
Joining the militia not only ensures you have enough food to eat, but also helps you save on food coupons.

The higher-ups are now planning to expand the size of the militia. In order to build up combat effectiveness, confrontation drills like the one a few days ago are definitely necessary.

Then the family can save some food.

Liu Haizhong, who had just walked from the backyard, heard these questions from the neighbors as soon as he arrived at the middle yard.

Naturally, he stood on He Yuzhu's side and spoke for him.
