Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

On the other hand, when He Yuzhu was rushing to Sijiucheng, Jia Dongxu was also on his way back to Sijiucheng. Before dawn today, Jia Dongxu left the courtyard with a large bag of things. At about six o'clock in the morning, Jia Dongxu came to the front door. At this time, there were many people waiting there with large and small bags like him. Seeing that the car had not arrived yet, Jia Dongxu walked to a state-owned breakfast shop not far away. This breakfast shop is not big, but it still provides a lot of things. Jia Dongxu bought a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks, found an empty seat, and ate them up voraciously.

After breakfast, Jia Dongxu hesitated for a while and bought six more meat buns. Just as Jia Dongxu put the meat buns in his arms, the truck arrived. Jia Dongxu ran over in a hurry. Probably because Jia Dongxu was strong, he quickly squeezed into the crowd. When he came to the truck, Jia Dongxu took out the letter of introduction issued by the street office last night and the certificate issued by the public security bureau, and handed them to the police standing by. The police took the certificate and letter of introduction, looked at them, returned the things to Jia Dongxu, and said, "Get in the car!"

"Hey!" Jia Dongxu responded, threw his bag on the truck, climbed up, and found a place near the front of the truck to sit down. Soon the three trucks were full of people. When the time came to half past six, the trucks started.

There were no highways in those days, and the roads were very difficult to travel. After more than four hours of bumpy ride, the truck arrived at Qinghe Farm. After the truck stopped, the people on the truck got off one after another. After the visitors gathered, a police officer walked in front of the crowd and said, "Whether you have seen your family members or not, you must gather here at 12 noon. If you exceed the time, you will have to walk back to the city by yourself."

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu was in the front of the line. After waiting for about three quarters of an hour, Jia Zhang was brought to Jia Dongxu. When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu, she said excitedly: "Dongxu! You are finally here! I missed you so much!"

The female police officer next to her yelled, "Zhang Dalian, sit down!"

"Hey!" Jia Zhang responded obediently, sat down, and said, "Dongxu, find a way to get me out. I don't want to stay here for even a day!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom! Just be patient. It's only five years, and it will pass quickly."

Jia Zhang said with a sad face: "There is endless work to do here all day long. Let alone food. It's good enough to have a bite of steamed bread to eat."

Jia Dongxu took out four meat buns from his arms and said, "Mom! These are the meat buns I bought when I came here. Come and eat them!"

"Hey!" When Jia Zhang heard the word "meat buns", her eyes lit up green. Like a hungry wolf, she grabbed the meat buns from Jia Dongxu's hand and started to eat them voraciously. She ate one in two or three bites. In the blink of an eye, half of the buns were in Jia Zhang's mouth. When she was eating the third bun, she choked. Jia Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Jia Zhang's shoulder. Jia Zhang swallowed the bun in her mouth with difficulty and said, "I'm choking to death!" Then Jia Zhang slowed down and said while eating, "Go find Yi Zhonghai. He must have a way to get me out."

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom! Don't mention Yi Zhonghai. He ate peanuts on Monday."

"What?!" Jia Zhang was dumbfounded. In Jia Zhang's opinion, Yi Zhonghai was the most capable person in the courtyard, and there was nothing he couldn't handle. Now, when she heard her son say that Yi Zhonghai ate peanuts, it was like she had heard the most unfunny joke she had ever heard in her life.

Jia Dongxu was afraid that his mother would not believe him, so he told her what happened. After listening to Jia Dongxu's story, Jia Zhang said angrily: "Sha Zhu is an ungrateful person! Yi Zhonghai has been so kind to them for so many years. Besides, Sha Zhu is not short of money now, why bother about it?!" Then Jia Zhang came to her senses and said: "Son, Yi Zhonghai is dead. His wife is the only one left in his family. She can't live in two rooms by herself. Go find her and ask her to make room for our family."

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom! You don't know. Yi Zhonghai transferred the house to her. She gave it to Sha Zhu the next moment. She is now living with her nephew from her mother's family in another place."

"What?!" Jia Zhang was even more dumbfounded this time. In Jia Zhang's opinion, He Yuzhu killed Yi Zhonghai, so Yi Zhonghai's wife should be an enemy of He Yuzhu. Why would he give the house to He Yuzhu? ! After a while, Jia Zhang came back to her senses and said, "Dongxu, there is only one way to ensure that our family can live comfortably in the courtyard from now on. That is to live with the old woman in the backyard."

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Mom! You don't have to tell me about this. We have already told her."

"Yes!" Jia Zhang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Dongxu, why didn't you bring Banggeng with you?! I haven't seen my grandson for so many days, I miss him so much."

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom! Ever since Yi Zhonghai was arrested, rumors have been circulating that the baby in Banggeng and Huairu's belly is Yi Zhonghai's. I didn't believe it at first, but then I went to find the matchmaker Wang who introduced Qin Huairu to me. The matchmaker Wang admitted that she took money from Yi Zhonghai and introduced Qin Huairu to me according to Yi Zhonghai's instructions."

"That damn Yi Zhonghai! He is so lucky to have peanuts!" Even if Jia Zhang was stupid, she had already reacted. After cursing for a while, she vented some of her anger and then said, "Dongxu, what are your plans for those two kids?!"

Jia Dongxu thought to himself, "What are you planning? I've already sold them. Anyway, let's get some of the costs back first." Then Jia Dongxu pretended to be sad and said, "Banggeng bumped into Huairu, and Huairu gave birth to a baby girl prematurely. I wanted to take Banggeng home, but since he was sleeping too soundly, I didn't. I didn't expect that as soon as I got home, Old Wang, the gatekeeper at the hospital next door, came to say that Banggeng and his newborn daughter had been abducted."

"Good! Good! Good!" Jia Zhang said "good" three times in a row, and then said: "Dongxu, listen to your mother's advice, go back and divorce Qin Huairu, this fickle woman. With your conditions, it won't be difficult to find another one!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom! Let's talk about this later!" Then Jia Dongxu told Jia Zhangshi that after Yi Zhonghai was arrested, they were demoted to apprentices. Jia Zhangshi was about to get angry when she heard the news, but when she saw the unfriendly look from the female police officer next to her, she immediately calmed down.

Jia Zhang asked, "Dongxu, count the days. Your factory's year-end assessment is coming soon. How well have you prepared this time? Whether you can turn things around depends on this assessment!"

Jia Dongxu replied: "Mom! I can't guarantee that I can get a third-level job, but I should have no problem passing the second-level exam."

"Okay! My Dongxu is the smartest! As long as you work hard, Mom believes that when I get out, you can at least surpass Yi Zhonghai!" As she said that, Jia Zhang began to imagine the scene where her son made a lot of money, changed his wife, and his wife gave birth to a fat grandson for her.

After about seven or eight minutes, the visiting time came. Jia Zhang was taken away. Jia Dongxu left the visiting room, put the package in the designated place, and walked to the square at the gate to wait for the car back to Sijiucheng.
