Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

In the past, Zhu Guiying was not afraid of Gao Dajun at all, thinking that divorce was no big deal. But after this incident, Zhu Guiying was afraid. If she divorced, she would be homeless.

Zhu Guiying was like a bullied wife. She didn't dare to say any more. She moved her things into the inner room and started packing.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Ying and He Yushui walked in from outside one after the other. Huang Ying hung her bag on the wall and walked to the kitchen. Seeing He Yuzhu busy, a smile appeared on her face. He Yuzhu turned his head to look at Huang Ying and asked, "You came back early today?!"

Huang Ying said, "There was nothing to do at the office today, so I came back early." Then she asked, "What did Third Uncle say?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "My third uncle agreed. I will go to the factory to inquire tomorrow. I will get things done as soon as possible." Then he asked, "Is there any news about the house?!"

Huang Ying replied, "I asked the Housing Management Office. There is a large compound not far from here. There are two vacant rooms in the east wing. I have agreed with them that the house will be distributed a few days later."

"Sister-in-law, you're back!" He Yushui walked over to Huang Ying and greeted her with a smile. Huang Ying saw He Yushui, who looked like a mud monkey, and joked with a smile: "Yushui, did you fall into a pit? Why are you covered in mud?!"

He Yushui said: "My brother took me for a walk around the village today and accidentally got it a little dirty."

He Yuzhu pretended to be disgusted and said, "You know it's dirty, why don't you go wash it?!"

"Oh!" He Yushui pouted and responded. Huang Ying saw He Yushui's reluctance and said, "Let's go! Sister-in-law will go with you to wash."

In this era, unlike modern times, it is very convenient to take a bath at home. In this era, you either go to the bathhouse to take a bath or take a bath at work. It is very troublesome to take a bath at home. However, when He Yuzhu came back, he boiled the water first. And put the thermos in the bathroom in He Yu's room.

When He Yushui and Huang Ying finished their bath and returned to the main room, He Yuzhu had already prepared the meal. He Yuzhu said, "What are you still standing there for? Sit down and eat!"

"Hey!" Huang Ying and He Yushui walked to the table and sat down. Huang Ying took the two-grain steamed bun handed over by He Yuzhu and asked, "I just saw two more people in the west wing."

He Yuzhu replied: "Gao Dajun brought his wife and son here."

Huang Ying took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a smile: "You know what, Gao Dajun is really a brave guy."

"What's the matter?!" He Yuzhu's curiosity was instantly aroused by Huang Ying.

Huang Ying said, "It's nothing! But his wife is not a worry-free person. She is very close to her parents." Then Huang Ying told him what she had heard. After listening to Huang Ying's words, He Yushui said, "This woman is too stupid!"

He Yuzhu said: "You! After you get married, you are not as good as Gao Dajun's wife! She subsidizes her natal family, but you use your natal family's things to subsidize your husband's family!"

He Yushui hurriedly said: "Brother! Don't underestimate me! I'm not that stupid! "

He Yuzhu joked: "It's useless to say anything now. Let's wait and see."

"Hmph! Just wait and see!" After saying that, He Yushui turned his grief and anger into appetite and began to eat voraciously.

Huang Ying looked at He Yushui, then looked at He Yuzhu, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You two brothers and sisters are really funny."

"Sister-in-law!" He Yushui said coquettishly, "Even you make fun of me!"

Huang Ying said, "I swear to God, I'm not making fun of you." Then Huang Ying picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the bowl in front of He Yushui, and then said, "Your brother and I have a lot of salary. You are not afraid that you will subsidize your husband's family in the future. But as women, we must be more discerning. You must see clearly before getting married, and never marry blindly. You will regret it after you suffer a loss."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay! Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's hurry up and eat!"

At the same time, Jia Dongxu and his mother hid in the cave, listening to the whistling sound of the wind and sand outside. Jia Zhang cried, "Dongxu, go talk to them and ask them to send me back! I don't want to stay here for a day!"

Jia Dongxu roasted himself by the fire and said expressionlessly: "Do you think I want to stay here?!"

Jia Zhang asked: "What should we do then? Are we just going to wait here to die?!"

Jia Dongxu said with a cold face: "Don't worry, even if you die, I won't die here!"

Jia Zhang's face changed, she looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "Dongxu, what do you mean by that?!"

Jia Dongxu turned his head and looked at Jia Zhangshi, and said, "You are the root of all this trouble! I really regret not sending you back to the countryside. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongxu said, she was ready to perform her best dance to summon spirits. But before Jia Zhang could say anything, Jia Dongxu's voice rang out again: "Mom! You'd better save your energy! There's no village or shop in this place, and there are only the two of us in this cave. No one will fall for your tricks."

Jia Zhang calmed down and said, "Stuff, there's no one watching here anyway. How about we run away?!"

"Run?!" Jia Dongxu sneered and asked, "Where can we run to?! There's desert all around. Even if we have food, we can't run far without water."

Run. Actually, Jia Dongxu wanted to run on the first day he arrived here. But there was desert all around. Even with enough water and dry food, he might not be able to run out. If he wanted to run, he had to wait for an opportunity. At this moment, Jia Dongxu felt a strong hatred for Qin Huairu. Now Jia Dongxu was completely living on this hatred. He wanted to go back alive to settle accounts with Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu and his team's mission here was to plant trees and grass. Supplies were delivered once a week. They were given two meals a day, each with a fist-sized potato. In addition, they were given a medicine bottle-sized can of pickled vegetables and ten liters of water per person. During festivals, their meals were improved, with some steamed corn bread or two-grain steamed buns. Because Jia Dongxu had money on him, he would sometimes pay them to bring some extra things.

No matter how bad the life of Jia Dongxu and his mother is now, it has nothing to do with the people in the courtyard. Even if the people in the courtyard knew about it, at most they would say "you deserve it!" Others would not say anything, and no one would feel sorry for them.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, He Yuzhu went to work at the steel mill. While they were resting before dinner, Sister Huang found He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, we have discussed it and want five or six workstations. Do you think this is feasible?!"

He Yuzhu looked around and asked, "Sister Huang, do you want regular employees?! Or temporary workers?!"

Sister Huang replied: "We are not picky. It is best to get a formal job."

He Yuzhu said, "Regular workers are not cheap. At least 500 yuan each. Temporary workers only cost 200 yuan. There is a difference of 300 yuan. You should think carefully."

Sister Huang said, "Zhuzi, just go ahead and do it!" Then Sister Huang took out a handkerchief from her pocket and stuffed it into He Yuzhu's hand, saying, "Here is the two thousand yuan we collected. If it's not enough, you can tell me later."

He Yuzhu said: "Okay! Since you trust me, I will definitely do a great job."
