Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After dinner, He Yuzhu escorted Lu Taishan and the other two out of the courtyard gate. When they were far away and He Yuzhu was about to go home, the haunted Yan Bugui appeared again. He Yuzhu saw Yan Bugui and said, "Uncle, you floated out silently, don't you know that you will scare people?!"

When Yan Bugui heard what He Yuzhu said, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "He Yuzhu, what do you mean by this?!"

He Yuzhu asked back: "Uncle, don't you know what it means?!"

Yan Bugui said: "He Yuzhu, I heard that you helped your relative find a job?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle San, who told you this?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "Do I need to hear it?! I saw it all. Since you have a connection, why don't you think of your uncle?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, you said they were relatives. You and I are not related at all. At best, we are neighbors. Besides, you live in the front yard and I live in the middle yard. We are just nodding acquaintances at most. Why should I help your family find a job?!"

Yan Bugui said: "It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Isn't it right to help a neighbor?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as the ones next door. The Jia family and the Yi Zhonghai family who used to live next door to my house were just what kind of people. Even if I don't tell you, you should know. Do you think I can still trust my neighbors?!" After saying that, He Yuzhu walked around Yan Bugui and walked directly into the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu's back, and he was so angry! It was all because of a bad apple that spoiled the whole pot of porridge. At this point, Yan Bugui had no choice but to swallow his anger. He no longer had the mood to take a walk to digest his food, and returned home dejectedly.

"Old Yan, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back so soon?!" The third aunt couldn't help but ask when she saw Yan Bugui suddenly come back with a strange expression on his face.

Yan Bugui glanced at his wife and went straight into the inner room. Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Bugui's back and asked, "Mom, what happened to my dad?!"

The third aunt replied, "How should I know?!" After hesitating for a few seconds, the third aunt followed in and asked anxiously, "Old Yan, what's going on?!"

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Isn't it that bastard He Yuzhu?! I heard that he found a job for his third uncle's child. I thought if he could find a job for his relatives, he could find a job for our Jie Cheng. I didn't expect that He Yuzhu was scared by the affairs of Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. He has always been wary of us neighbors."

The third aunt muttered, "This He Yuzhu is such a piece of shit! It's a pity that we care about him so much. He is such an ungrateful person."

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and said, "Old woman, you can just say this at home. Don't say it outside. If He Yuzhu hears it, he will definitely make trouble for us. Ever since he and Yushui came back from Baocheng, he has changed completely. It is basically impossible to control him. From now on, we just treat him as an ordinary neighbor. Besides, his wife is the deputy director of the public security station who is in charge of our area. From now on, we will be the only ones who ask him for help, and he will not come to us." Then Yan Bugui muttered, "Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai! You have calculated so much in vain, but in the end, you have ended up with nothing. It really hurts others and yourself!"

The third aunt asked, "Old Yan, the two children that Jia Dongxu sold are really Yi Zhonghai's children?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "I'm not sure about the younger one. As for the older one, I think it's very likely that it's Yi Zhonghai's child. I didn't expect that Jia Dongxu is such a ruthless guy."

Maybe it was because they had a job, or maybe it was because they were full of hope for their future life. Anyway, Lv Taishan and the other two walked much faster than usual. After walking for more than four hours, they returned to the village a little after ten o'clock in the evening.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Dongzi walked to the door of his house and knocked on it. The dim light in the house suddenly lit up. Then Cui Qinghai came out of the house wrapped in a cotton jacket, walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?!"

Dongzi replied: "Grandpa, it's me!"

Cui Qinghai opened the door, saw his grandson, and asked, "Why are you back so late?!"

After Dongzi entered the room, he whispered, "Grandpa, all the formalities have been completed. My aunt's brother Zhuzi also introduced me to a master. I will have a day off tomorrow and will officially start work the day after tomorrow."

"Good!" Cui Qinghai shouted excitedly. Dongzi's parents also came out of the house. Dongzi's mother Zhang Erya asked: "Dongzi, have you eaten?!"

"Mom!" Dongzi called out, "I've eaten. I ate at Brother Zhuzi's house."

Cui Qinghai said, "Second brother, the child is tired. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow morning. Let the child go back to sleep!"

"Hey!" Zhang Erya responded, pushed her man, and quickly returned to the house.

Dongzi said, "Grandpa, you should go back to the house and rest!"

"Hey!" Cui Qinghai nodded and went back to his room.

Wang Huilan asked: "Old man, is Dongzi back?!"

Cui Qinghai walked to the kang, sat at the head of it, lit a cigarette, and replied, "Old lady, we owe a huge favor to our second sister's family this time."

Wang Huilan said, "Just keep the debt! We can pay it back slowly in the future. I'm afraid the other three will say we are biased."

Cui Qinghai said: "This doesn't apply to us. Apart from the second brother's family, who among the others would think of their second aunt during the holidays?! As long as they move around, their second aunt will never forget their kindness." After saying that, Cui Qinghai knocked the pipe in his hand under his feet, threw the pipe on the kang table, and said: "No more talking! Go to bed!" Then Cui Qinghai blew out the oil lamp and got into bed.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, just after dawn, the Lu Taishan brothers got up early as usual. After washing up, they walked into the main room and called out in unison: "Grandpa! Grandma!"

Lu Shunyi nodded and said, "Sit down!" After the two brothers sat down, Lu Shunyi continued, "You came back too late yesterday, and I didn't ask. How did things go?!"

Lu Taishan said: "Grandpa, everything has been done. Brother Zhuzi also used his connections to find three good masters for the three of us. Grandpa, don't worry! We will work hard and will never let you down."

Lu Shunyi said: "Just keep it in mind. Remember, don't think you have a backer and do whatever you want in the factory. Be low-key in life and high-profile in work. Don't make it difficult for Zhuzi."

Lu Taishan and Lu Taihe both agreed in unison: "Got it!"

Lu Shunyi nodded silently and asked, "Have you arranged a place to live?!"

Lu Taishan replied, "Sister-in-law rented two rooms for us. My second brother and I live in the larger one. Dongzi lives in the smaller one. The rent is directly deducted from our wages. Wait a minute, we came back last night to get bedding and a change of clothes."

After lunch, Dongzi came to Lu Shunyi's house with his luggage. After meeting up with brothers Lu Taishan and Lu Taihe, the three of them walked to the village entrance with their luggage. It must be said that Lu Taishan and his brother were lucky. Just as they arrived at the village entrance, a long-distance bus was slowly approaching from a distance. The three of them waved, and the driver drove the car in front of the three of them and stopped. After Lu Taishan and his three got on the bus, they bought tickets, found a place that was not too crowded, and stood by the handle. There was no other way, because there were few cars and long routes, and there were many people? !
