Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

On Sunday morning, after Huang Ying left, He Yuzhu and He Yushui rode their bicycles out together. More than an hour later, He Yuzhu and his sister arrived at Sanjiadian Village.

"Brother Zhuzi! Sister Yushui!" Lv Guoliang's youngest son, Lv Taihai, who was playing by the river after picking pig grass, saw He Yuzhu and He Yushui and immediately left his friends and ran to them. He Yuzhu stopped the car and asked, "Haizi, is anyone home?!"

Lu Taihai replied: "Grandpa and grandma are at home! Everyone else has gone to the fields."

He Yuzhu said, "Go to the field and call your father back."

"Oh!" Lu Taihai responded.

"Wait!" He Yushui called Lu Taihai and took out a handful of candy from her pocket and handed it to him. Lu Taihai took the candy with a smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Yushui, I'm leaving now!"

He Yuzhu brought He Yushui to Lu Shunyi's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?!" Cui Juan, who was drying things in the yard, heard the knock on the door and asked while putting down the things in her hands.

He Yushui shouted first: "Grandma! My brother and I are here!"

"Ouch?! It's Yushui?!" Cui Juan opened the door. He Yushui hugged Cui Juan and asked with a smile: "Grandma, did you miss me?!"

"I want to! How could I not want to?!" Cui Juan then looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, why are the two of you here? Where's your wife?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Grandma, my wife is at work today." Then He Yuzhu followed Cui Juan into the yard and called out, "Grandpa!"

Lu Shunyi nodded and said, "Old lady, it's rare for Zhuzi and Yushui to come here, go and get them some food!"

"Grandma! Don't bother!" He Yushui held Cui Juan and said, "Grandpa, if you keep being so polite, my brother and I won't dare to come."

"You little girl!" Lu Shunyi showed an unhappy expression on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. He felt that this granddaughter was sensible! She was more sensible than the granddaughters and granddaughters of his old brothers.

Lu Shunyi looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, why did you think of coming here today?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I have something to discuss with my third uncle today."

Cui Juan asked: "What's the matter?!"

He Yuzhu said, "It's a good thing!" Then He Yuzhu told the situation to Lu Shunyi and his wife. Lu Shunyi was a little moved after hearing what He Yuzhu said. After hesitating for a while, Lu Shunyi asked, "Zhuzi, this will cost a lot of money, right?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "If it were in the past, it would cost a lot of money, but now it doesn't cost much. However, you have to start as an apprentice to enter the factory. Our factory is a key unit, and the apprentice salary is 2 yuan higher than that of ordinary factories. It is 20 yuan per month. 22 yuan in the second year, 24 yuan in the third year, and 27 yuan after becoming a regular employee. If you pass the technical level test, your salary can be increased. Our Sijiu City is a Class 5 area, and the first-level worker is 35 yuan. As long as the two brothers work hard, I think their salary will not be low in the future."

Cui Juan thought this was an opportunity, but Lv Shunyi was the boss at home, so she could only worry. Lv Shunyi lit up his pipe, took two puffs, and said, "I'll take the offer. But we'll pay for the workstations ourselves."

He Yuzhu said, "Grandpa, you don't have to pay." Seeing that Lu Shunyi's face was not right, He Yuzhu hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, the money is a loan from me to the two brothers. They get their salary and pay me 5 yuan every month until they pay it back. In addition, I charge them 2 yuan rent every month. I don't care about the rest."

Lu Shunyi showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "I agree to this. I will talk to your third uncle when he comes back."

"Dad! What do you want to tell me?!" Just then Lu Guoliang walked in from outside.

Lu Shunyi said: "Zhu Zi wants to get two jobs for Tai Shan and Tai He."

He Yuzhu hurriedly told Lv Guoliang his plan again. After listening to He Yuzhu's narration, Lv Guoliang said, "Zhuzi, you can think of your brother. I, your third uncle, will remember this favor. You can handle this matter. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."

He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, I feel relieved when you say that. Don't worry, others may not be able to do this, but I am sure I can do it! But don't tell anyone about this. When they go to the village to transfer their household registration, they can say that they passed the exam by themselves. Otherwise, they will be accused of something."

Lu Shunyi echoed, "Zhu Zi is right. I must explain everything to those two guys later. I must not make any mistakes or cause trouble for Zhu Zi."

The problem was solved. He Yuzhu accompanied He Yushui to play in the village for a while. While the village canteen was not open for dinner yet, He Yuzhu and He Yushui said hello to Lu Shunyi and his wife, and left Sanjiadian Village on their bicycles.

Arriving at Sijiu City, He Yuzhu took He Yushui to eat roast duck, which was considered a lunch for the two of them. After returning home, He Yushui took her things and went out to play with her classmates. He Yuzhu took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and entered the supermarket space. He walked around the space, ate two ice creams, took out some ingredients, and started to get busy.

Not long after, He Yuzhu heard the sound, put down the things in his hands, walked out of the house, and saw Gao Dajun coming back with two people. He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Brother Dajun, who are these two?!"

Gao Dajun replied, "My wife and my son. We were supposed to come here before the Chinese New Year. But something happened at home, so we delayed it until now." Gao Dajun then introduced, "Zhuzi, this is my wife Zhu Guiying, and next to me is my son Gao Shuang. He is 5 years old this year."

"Sister-in-law!" He Yuzhu called out, and said, "My name is He Yuzhu, and I'm the cook at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Zhu Guiying smiled and said, "I've heard my husband Gao talk about you. When you have time, bring your wife to our house for a visit."

"Okay! I'll tell my wife when she comes back!" After saying that, He Yuzhu went back to the house.

Zhu Guiying brought the child and Gao Dajun into the house and asked, "What does his wife do?!"

Gao Dajun said: "His wife is the deputy director of the police station in our area."

"Oh?! This official is not a low-ranking official?!" After saying this, Zhu Guiying realized that she had said the wrong thing and looked at Gao Dajun embarrassedly.

Gao Dajun reminded, "It's okay to say this at home. Don't say it outside. Otherwise, you will get yourself into trouble. Fortunately, when I changed jobs, I brought your and your child's household registration here. Otherwise, I would have to go back to the countryside with you two. I asked you to bring the child here, but you refused. I'm telling you! It's my duty to support you and the child. If you let me know again that you use your family's things to support your parents, we will divorce!"

Two years before Gao Dajun retired, his mother passed away. Only his wife and son were left at home. However, Gao Dajun did not expect that his wife was a brother-supporting demon. Since Gao Dajun's mother passed away, Zhu Guiying has been in charge of the family. It is estimated that the thousand-year-old daughter-in-law has finally become a mother-in-law. Zhu Guiying also began to subsidize her parents' family openly. Anyway, the money saved by Gao Dajun's mother and the allowance sent back by Gao Dajun were all squandered by Zhu Guiying. The reason why Zhu Guiying was unwilling to come to Sijiucheng was because she had no money in her pocket to buy a train ticket. As for the money that Gao Dajun sent back to buy her a train ticket, it all went into her parents' pocket. This time Gao Dajun asked for leave to go back to pick someone up, and by the way, he went to Zhu Guiying's parents' home to make a scene. Although he did not get all the money back, he ruined the reputation of Zhu Guiying's parents' family. If it were not for the village head and the secretary of the party branch to stop him, Gao Dajun would probably have demolished the newly built house of Zhu Guiying's parents' family. However, under the witness of the village head and the secretary of the party branch, Zhu Guiying's parents wrote an IOU. When the village settled the work points at the end of the year, it left food rations for Zhu Guiying's family and converted the rest into cash and sent it to Gao Dajun.

Gao Dajun was also generous and donated all the money owed by the Zhu family to the village to support the elderly and widowed people in the village.
