Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

In the blink of an eye, it was 1977. Almost a year had passed since the big storm. During these eight years, Yi Zhonghai had been working diligently in the workshop and had not participated in any sports, so he still sat in his old position.

In recent years, the Jia family, no, now it’s the Wang family, has heard quarrels between Wang Yuehua and Qin Huairu from time to time. In all these years, Qin Huairu has not given birth to any children for Wang Yuehua.

The two of them had been arguing about this matter. Wang Yuehua wanted to take Qin Huairu to the hospital for a check-up, but unfortunately Qin Huairu kept avoiding it with various excuses.

But Wang Yuehua was not stupid, he did not have that much patience, so he put all the money on himself from 1971, and became addicted to alcohol. When he was drunk, he would go home and beat Qin Huairu, and many times he saw Qin Huairu's face was bruised.

Sometimes, Qin Huairu's salary from sweeping the floor was also used by him to drink, and Qin Huairu could not cry. But she still gritted her teeth and insisted on secretly sending some money to Banggeng every month. This matter could not be known by Wang Yuehua, otherwise he would beat her.

The three siblings He Xiao, He Hua and He Ye have all grown up. He Hua and He Ye have always had good grades and are now busy preparing for the college entrance examination. He Xiao's grades are not optimistic, but Sha Zhu has already planned to learn cooking from him. As Yang Yuhuan grows older, her appetite decreases and she has become much slimmer.

Sha Zhu was still bickering with Xu Damao in the yard, but He Hua and Xuanyunduo had a very good relationship. However, Sha Zhu kept persuading his daughter not to get close to Xuanyunduo, while Xu Damao asked his sons to play more with He Hua and He Ye.

Xu Damao's children have grown up, and his only daughter is in elementary school. In order to raise so many children over the years, Xu Damao has obvious white hair on his head, and it is also thanks to the old Xu couple who come to help from time to time.

Xu Damao's father-in-law was beaten by Xiao Hong in the later stage of the storm, and finally Xu Damao went to ask Yi Zhonghai to let Li Huaide come out to settle the matter. Although his father-in-law did not need to be criticized, he also fell from power.

In the Yan family, Yan Bugui has been as stingy as ever these years. The eldest son Yan Jiecheng moved out of the courtyard house after he was released from labor reform. Now only the old couple Yan Bugui are left at home, and the rest of the children have gone to the countryside and have not returned yet.

Because of Yan Bugui's stinginess, he couldn't even buy a job for his youngest daughter. Originally, it only cost 600 yuan for a job, but later, as more and more people went to the countryside, the price had risen to 1200 yuan. Yan Bugui naturally couldn't afford it, not to mention that a job was in short supply, so his youngest daughter also went to the countryside.

Liu Haizhong still worked as a manure collector, and he also thought about joining the movement. Unfortunately, he was rejected because of his tainted job. He was disheartened and thought about writing a letter to his eldest son Liu Guangqi, but Liu Guangqi didn't even reply, which made Liu Haizhong so angry that he scolded his children for being ungrateful.

Seeing that his sons ignored him and that life was hopeless, Liu Haizhong drank all day long. He spent all the money he earned on alcohol and did not keep any for himself. In his words, it was not worth it.

The Xu family, Xu Wu moved out of the Siheyuan in 1973. Xu Wu's wife gave birth to a daughter and a son for him. Because he was assigned to a tube-shaped building, he moved out of the Siheyuan with his wife. Before leaving, he generously treated Yi Zhonghai and others to a meal.

As for Jia Zhang, she was really long-lived. She hooked up with an old widower in the countryside. Although she was not starving, she still had to do housework, washing clothes and cooking from time to time. These things were originally done by Qin Huairu. After being severely beaten by the old widower, Jia Zhang started to do the housework obediently.

At the Yi family, Yi Xuanzong was also preparing for the college entrance examination and studying very hard every day. When Huang Yulan was shopping for vegetables, she tried to buy more fish for Yi Xuanzong to supplement his brain. This idea came from Yi Zhonghai.

Huang Yulan had not given birth to any more children in recent years, and the youngest child was Yi Xuanyue, a lovely girl. When she was born, Yi Zhonghai was busy researching the manufacture of stainless steel. When he returned home, he found that Yi Xuanyue had already been born in the hospital.

That morning, Yi Zhonghai was half asleep when he heard the noise from the Wang family. It was about Qin Huairu not having a baby. There were many rumors in the courtyard, and many people were saying whether Qin Huairu had some disease or had an IUD.

Wang Yuehua could no longer tolerate this. He said he would take Qin Huairu to the hospital for a checkup today. If she was ill, he would treat her. If she had an IUD, he would divorce her. At worst, he could find another widow who could give birth to a child. He had money anyway.

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and looked outside to see Qin Huairu's face was bruised and swollen, and one of her eyes was swollen like a panda eye. The neighbors in the yard all tried to persuade Wang Yuehua not to use violence, but Wang Yuehua also had his own difficulties.

Qin Huairu's tricks were totally ineffective after the brainwashing of the three managers of the courtyard and Yi Zhonghai's partiality in the plot. The neighbors were not the kind of people who could not tell right from wrong.

"Wang Yuehua, as a grown man, how dare you hit a woman?" Sha Zhu said angrily. What Sha Zhu hated most in his life was men hitting women.

Wang Yuehua looked at Sha Zhu like this and couldn't help but sneered and said, "Haha, Sha Zhu, I know you have a lot of brute force, but this is my family affair and you have no right to interfere. I ask you what would you do if your wife didn't give birth to a child for you? I just want Qin Huairu to go to the hospital for a check-up. Am I wrong? You each have three or four children, have you ever considered me? I'm almost forty years old, and the dirt is buried up to my neck."

After saying this, Sha Zhu didn't know what to say, because it was indeed Qin Huairu's fault. If he put himself in her shoes, he would also be extremely anxious if his wife didn't give birth to a child.

So Sha Zhu said, "Mr. Wang, you always say it's Qin Huairu's problem, then do you have any problem yourself?"

"Haha, of course there's nothing wrong with me! Come and see what I have in my hand!" Wang Yuehua said as he took out a check list.

Xu Damao took the list and looked at it, then looked up at Sha Zhu and said, "Hahaha, Sha Zhu, the test report said that Wang Yuehua has no problem at all, so who do you think has the problem?"

After saying that, he raised his eyes at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu suddenly panicked. She didn't even know when Wang Yuehua went for a physical examination. She was in trouble now.

But she quickly reacted and said, "This test report could be fake! Besides, I've already given birth to three children, how could it be my fault?"

Sha Zhu was about to give Qin Huairu a thumbs up, but Yang Yuhuan pinched Sha Zhu's waist and said, "Are you tired of living? You didn't even cook for home."

Then Sha Zhu was carried back to the house by Yang Yuhuan to cook. Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Sha Zhu's appearance, and Xu Damao laughed the happiest among them.
