Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Along the way, Zhang Ergou chatted with Jia Zhang intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Ergou kept asking Jia Zhang questions, such as asking her how she was doing in the city. Jia Zhang said that she was living too well in the city, so she wanted to go back to the countryside to live for a while.

Zhang Ergou took the opportunity to flatter Jia Zhang and asked her how much money her daughter-in-law gave her after she returned home. When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became nervous and said that she wanted to leave the money for her grandson.

Xiaodang and Huaihua hugged each other. They saw that the road ahead was becoming more and more difficult to walk on and the number of people was becoming more and more sparse.

On the other side of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai came home from work and heard his wife say that Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside. Yi Zhonghai was stunned! Jia Zhang had actually returned to the countryside.

So Yi Zhonghai asked if the street office forced her to do so. Huang Yulan said no, it was Jia Zhang who went back on her own initiative and even rented the house to the street office.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai finally understood that Jia Zhang must have gone to find Qin Huairu. In the end, she had no choice but to take Xiaodang and Huaihua back to the countryside and wait for Qin Huairu to come out before coming back.

Everyone who had gotten off work knew the news that Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside, and everyone started to set their sights on the Jia family's house.

Sha Zhu was standing at the door in a daze, staring at the locked door of Jia's house. He Hua, who was standing next to him, ran over and said, "Dad, what are you looking at? Give me a hug."

Sha Zhu came back to his senses and saw his daughter, so he smiled and hugged his daughter and said, "Dad didn't see anything. By the way, if you have anything you want to eat, tell Dad."

He Ye also trotted over and said, "Daddy, hold me! You only hold my sister and not me."

So Sha Zhu could only hold one child in each hand. People in the compound couldn't help laughing when they saw Sha Zhu like this. Xu Damao happened to come over with an old hen and said, "Sha Zhu, help me make some chicken soup. My wife is craving for it."

Sha Zhu looked at the fat old hen in Xu Damao's hand and said, "Okay, let's keep it the same as before! You take the soup, and the meat will be shared equally among the family."

Xu Damao: "No problem, as long as you cook it deliciously." Xu Damao thought that his wife's belly was getting bigger and she would give birth in 3 months.

Xu Damao said again, "Silly Zhu, what were you looking at just now?"

Sha Zhu: "The Jia family across the street has moved away, and I'm wondering if I can apply for this house! My three children are grown up and there's really no room for them."

Xu Damao: "Forget it. Qin Huairu was only sentenced to two years. What are you going to do after renting for two years? I think you just can't bear to part with Qin Huairu."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he said hurriedly, "Bah! You deserve a beating! What do you mean Qin Huairu is reluctant to leave? Let me tell you! I am only reluctant to leave my wife."

Xu Damao turned around and saw that Yang Yuhuan was indeed standing behind Sha Zhu. Xu Damao couldn't help but admire this guy Sha Zhu. How did he know that Yang Yuhuan was behind him?

Then Xu Damao said, "Speaking of houses, my family members are making a fuss at home and there is not enough room for them. I was thinking about renting Liu Haizhong's house."

Sha Zhu: "Auntie Liu lives here, why did you rent it?"

Xu Damao: "You probably don't know this. Yesterday, Liu Haizhong's wife wrote a letter to her eldest son. Now I am a cadre after all. I tell you, if I hadn't been reluctant to leave my old neighbors in the courtyard, I would have moved to the tube building a long time ago."

Sha Zhu: "Just keep bragging. You are just a nobody. You are just the leader of a patrol team! I won't interrupt you anymore. I'm going to make soup."

Xu Damao was still talking non-stop, while Sha Zhu had already returned to the kitchen to kill the chicken, boil water, and scald the chicken feathers...

Xu Damao held He Hua and He Ye and went to the backyard to play. Sha Zhu's two daughters were very close to Xu Damao. They called him Uncle Damao whenever they met. This made Xu Damao, who already wanted to have a daughter, even happier.

So when Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, he would bring some wild fruits to Sha Zhu's two daughters, and sometimes he would bring them some flowers and plants. Xu Damao knew very well what girls liked.

When Xu Damao got home, he let He Ye and He Hua play with his son, while he wrote an application for housing! Thinking that now that Liu Haizhong had been fired, the house should belong to the steel mill, he would apply for it and let the older children live together.

At the Yan family, Yang Ruihua told Yan Bugui the news that Jia Zhang had passed away today. Yan Bugui smoked a cigarette and said, "I have finally figured it out. These bastards at home are all unreliable. You should stop worrying about the house for them."

Yang Ruihua: "Old man, you can't say that! You and I will both grow old, and we will have to rely on our sons. Do you think you can work for the rest of your life without any support?"

Yan Bugui: "Look at these bastards. As soon as they heard that I was classified as a stinking ninth grader, they all distanced themselves from me. How dare I let them support me in my old age? I'm lucky enough that they don't starve to death."

After a pause, Yan Bugui continued, "I am their biological father. I have to draw a clear line between us when something happens. I have raised them in vain since they were young! No, I have to take a notebook to record it for them. Yesterday, the second and third children ate one of my fish." As he spoke, Yan Bugui picked up a small notebook and started writing on it with a pen.

Yang Ruihua could only sigh when she saw Yan Bugui like this. She had spent most of her life with Yan Bugui and knew that he was a stingy person. However, when she thought of these ungrateful people in her family, Yang Ruihua felt that there was nothing to regret.

There are movements going on everywhere now. There are crowds of young people with red armbands on the streets. All the boys in every household in the courtyard have joined in. Fortunately, they have seen what happened to Liu Haizhong, so they have restrained themselves from causing trouble in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai saw that his eldest son had no schooling now and might have to go to the countryside in a few years, so Yi Zhonghai thought about spending some time educating his children.

Huang Yulan was teaching her younger daughter Yi Xuanling, which was nothing more than some arithmetic and Chinese vocabulary. Yi Zhonghai was responsible for teaching mathematics and more complex theoretical knowledge.

Yi Zhonghai wrote down some math formulas and some word and sentence formations in a notebook for them to practice. Yi Xuanzong was very good at math since he was a child, so Yi Zhonghai didn't have to worry about this aspect. However, his Chinese was very poor, so Yi Zhonghai regularly checked his ancient poems.

The younger daughter, Yi Xuanling, is not very fond of studying. She prefers singing. For example, she learns many popular songs and some loyalty dances very quickly, so her academic performance is relatively poor.

Xu Damao spent half an hour to finally finish writing the housing application, thinking that he should finish this matter as soon as possible while he was still in this position. After hearing Uncle Yi say that this storm would pass sooner or later, Xu Damao also believed what Yi Zhonghai said.
