Siheyuan: Stepping on many birds, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks

He Yushui is very strong in front of Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu indulges this sister, not beating or scolding her, and at most just saying a few words. But once Sha Zhu says something to He Yushui, He Yushui feels like she has been greatly wronged. He Yushui is now like this because of Sha Zhu's indulgence.

The Jia family is a bunch of ungrateful people, and it was all due to the indulgence of Sha Zhu. He deserves what he got.

Apart from the deaf old lady, few people in the compound sympathized with Sha Zhu.

"It's different in the city and in the countryside. Besides, now is not the past. I've been riding a bicycle to work for a year. If I say this bicycle is my dowry, my colleagues will laugh at me."

"Is there any brother like you?"

"You don't care about me at all."

As she was talking, He Yushui actually started crying, then she went back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Shazhu was in a dilemma. He was already in a bad mood, and now it was even worse.

After much thought, Sha Zhu decided to find a way to get a sewing machine for He Yushui as a dowry, but he didn't have a sewing machine ticket and didn't have much money.

Next, Sha Zhu went to find Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary is 99 yuan. He is an eighth-level fitter, so he should have a sewing machine ticket and money. So, Sha Zhu thought about borrowing some money.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were both in the central courtyard, just a few steps away.

"—Uncle, Aunt."

Although Yi Zhonghai is no longer an uncle, Sha Zhu has gotten used to calling him that and has not changed his name.

Also because Sha Zhu has always called Yi Zhonghai "uncle", Liu Haizhong now has a lot of dissatisfaction with Sha Zhu.

When others see Liu Haizhong, they either call him "Uncle" or "Deputy Section Chief Liu", but Sha Zhu is called "Uncle". It would be strange if Liu Haizhong didn't have any opinion about Sha Zhu.

"There's an old man in the backyard now, so you can't just shout at him." Sun Guihua said kindly to Sha Zhu.

"The rabbit's tail in the bangs won't grow long." Sha Zhu said disdainfully.

"What's the matter?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Uncle, my sister Yu Shui is getting married next month, and she wants a sewing machine as a dowry. You know my current situation, can you lend me a sewing machine ticket and another 300 yuan? I will definitely pay you back in the future, and I will double it."

When Sha Zhu spoke, Yi Zhonghai and Sun Guihua remained silent.

Yi Zhonghai also only has one ticket for sewing.

A sewing plane ticket taken to the Pigeon Market can at least be exchanged for dozens of dollars.

And Sha Zhu not only needs to borrow money for the sewing plane ticket, but also needs to borrow three hundred yuan.

Yi Zhonghai had more than a thousand yuan, but it was the retirement money for him and his wife.

Sha Zhu is a man of his words. He promised to pay back double the amount in the future. As long as he has the money, he will definitely not be dissatisfied. But if he doesn't have the money, he is powerless.

"Silly Zhu! I have a sewing ticket. Don't hesitate to lend it to me. I'll give it to you, but I don't have much money. I can only lend you fifty yuan..." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Old Yi usually helps the Jia family a lot. Plus, I have poor health and it costs a lot of money to buy medicine every month, and I don't have a job," said Sun Guihua.

Upon hearing what Yi Zhonghai and Sun Guihua said, Sha Zhu also expressed his understanding.

Yi Zhonghai was able to give a sewing plane ticket and lend fifty dollars, which made him a good man in Sha Zhu's eyes.

Therefore, Sha Zhu was extremely grateful.

Then, Sun Guihua went to get the sewing ticket and money.

"Thank you, uncle, and thank you, aunt." Sha Zhu.

However, there is still a shortfall of 250.

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's house, Sha Zhu thought about it and went to Jia's house to find Qin Huairu. He wanted to borrow some money from Qin Huairu.

"Shazhu is the same. After Yu Shui graduated and started working, he was busy buying a bicycle. Now it's okay, right?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

"Yushui is a bit greedy. She is not satisfied with a bicycle as a dowry, so why does she need a sewing machine?" Sun Guihua also said.

Speaking of which, Yi Zhonghai prefers He Yushui, because He Yushui is simple-minded and doesn't care about her brother's lifelong affairs.

When Sha Zhu arrived at Jia's house, Qin Huairu was sewing shoe soles.

In the past, the shoe soles were made by Jia Zhang, but he was imprisoned for speculation.

Since the three children wore out the soles of her shoes, Qin Huairu could only give a little more.

"Sister Qin, can you lend me some money?" Sha Zhu was shameless, but he still went ahead with it.

Qin Huairu was stunned. She had always been the one asking Sha Zhu for money, but today Sha Zhu actually asked her for money.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Yu Shui is getting married next month, and she wants a sewing machine as her dowry..." Sha Zhu explained the situation and also said that Yi Zhonghai had given him a sewing machine ticket and borrowed fifty yuan, but he was still short of two hundred and fifty yuan, so he hoped that Qin Huairu could lend him some.

"Yu Shui is so ignorant. She already has a bicycle, so why does she need a sewing machine?" Qin Huairu said.

As for asking Qin Huairu to borrow money, you're overthinking it.

Qin Huairu is a deadbeat, she only takes in but never gives out.

Even when she goes back to her parents' home for the Chinese New Year, Qin Huairu will not be generous.

Of course, Qin Huairu would not directly say no, but instead talked about how difficult it was for the Jia family, how she had to raise three children, and how Jia Zhang had to be fined for speculation and profiteering, etc.

Sha Zhu left with a disappointed look on his face. He thought Qin Huairu would lend him some money, but he overestimated Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu didn't lend him a penny.

Next, Sha Zhu looked for someone else. He did not look for Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao because he knew that Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao would not be able to borrow the money.

After thinking about it, Sha Zhu went to find the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady still had some money, but not much.

When Sha Zhu told the deaf old lady about the situation, the deaf old lady talked about Sha Zhu again, but she also knew that Sha Zhu could not change.

In the end, the old lady still lent Sha Zhu a hundred yuan.

The old lady only had a little over a hundred yuan in her pocket, so it was quite nice of her to lend a hundred yuan to Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai borrowed fifty, the old lady borrowed one hundred, and they were still short of one hundred and fifty to buy a sewing machine.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to continue borrowing money.

Except for Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, everyone in the compound was borrowed by Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu also came to the Yan family to borrow money.

Everyone in the Yan family looked at each other.

"This idiot Zhu is really weird." Yan Jiekuang was speechless.

"Uncle No. 3, no, Uncle No. 2, can you give me some money?" Sha Zhu said.

"Didn't you buy a bicycle for Yu Shui? This dowry is enough. If you feel sorry for your sister, give her a few dozen more dollars."

"Nowadays, we advocate thriftiness and avoid extravagance and waste."

Yan Bugui educates Sha Zhu.

As an elementary school teacher, Yan Bugui has his own way of educating people.

In Yan Bugui's words, there was something wrong with Sha Zhu's ideological awareness.

Although the highest configuration for marriage nowadays is three wheels and one bell, it is rare in Beijing to have a bicycle as a dowry.

He Yushui actually wanted a sewing machine, which was a bit greedy.

The main reason was that He Yushui was very concerned about her reputation and didn't want her in-laws to look down on her. She also wanted to show off in front of her colleagues.

Sha Zhu obviously wanted to satisfy He Yushui.

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady both lent money to Sha Zhu, and several other families also lent some, but it was still far from enough to buy a sewing machine.

Sha Zhu had a gloomy face. It would have been fine if Yan Bugui didn't lend him money, but he was still educating him, which made him very unhappy.

"If you lend me one hundred, I will pay you back two hundred later." said Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yan Bugui was also moved.

Yan Jiekuang also had an idea in his mind.

"Dad, just lend Sha Zhu a hundred yuan and ask him to write an IOU and pay back two hundred yuan before the New Year next year. If he can't pay it back, I'll use his big house as collateral." Listening to Yan Jiekuang's proposal, Yan Bugui was also thinking about it in his heart.

It’s not a loss anyway.

Sha Zhu's family has two houses, one big and one small. The big house should be able to be sold for four or five hundred yuan.

If you can get Shazhu's big house for 100 dollars, you will make a lot of money.

It can be said that whether Sha Zhu pays back the money or not, the Yan family will not lose out.

"Shazhu, what do you think of my third brother's suggestion?" Yan Bugui asked.

Sha Zhu was also thinking that although he was now assigned to sweep the toilets in the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai also said that he would be able to return to the canteen after a while.

Besides, Sha Zhu is a cook after all, and he has skills, so he can earn some extra money.

Before the Chinese New Year next year, there shouldn't be any pressure to pay back the two hundred yuan to the Yan family.

"Okay, I agree." said Sha Zhu.

"Then let's be mean first and gentlemen later and put it in black and white." Yan Bugui smiled and went to get paper and pen.

When Sha Zhu picked up the pen and started writing, Yan Jiekuang also recited.

Yan Jiekuang read a sentence, and Sha Zhu wrote one sentence.

I, He Yuzhu, lent one hundred yuan to the Yan family at a certain time on a certain day of a certain year, and promised?… In the end, Yan Bugui and Sha Zhu both signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Yan's mother, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi all remained silent.

After carefully putting away the IOU, Yan Bugui went to get ten Big Unity Banknotes for Sha Zhu.

After taking the money, Sha Zhu turned around and left.

I guess Sha Zhu was cursing in his heart.

This is no wonder. If you borrow one hundred, you have to pay back two hundred next year.

However, no one forced Sha Zhu to borrow money, he was willing, there is nothing to say. Yan Bugui thought that Sha Zhu would pay back 200 yuan next year, while Yan Jiekuang wanted to get Sha Zhu's big house. If Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu got together, his house would only be cheaper for Bang Geng.

Early in the morning, He Yushui brushed her teeth and washed her face, and Sha Zhu also prepared breakfast.

Seeing that He Yushui was still angry, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Look what this is?"

When Sha Zhu took out a ticket for a sewing machine and three hundred yuan, He Yushui became happy. With the ticket and money, he could go buy a sewing machine.

He Yushui's boyfriend already has a watch, all he needs is a radio, and it will be complete with three turns and one ring.

"Brother Silly, you are awesome, thank you." He Yushui was overjoyed.

Seeing his sister so happy, Shazhu was also very happy.

"Go to work. When you get off work, I will accompany you to the Hardware Building to buy a sewing machine." said Sha Zhu.

"I won't bother you anymore." He Yushui took the ticket and the money.

He Yushui plans to buy a sewing machine with her boyfriend.

Seeing He Yushui took the ticket and money and left, Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to open his mouth.

"Oh!" Sha Zhu sighed in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yi Zhonghai, Aunt Sun, and Qin Huairu all saw He Yushui going to work happily.

It must be Sha Zhu who met He Yushui's requirements.

Yi Zhonghai gave Sha Zhu a ticket for a sewing machine, but buying a sewing machine requires not only a ticket but also money. Sha Zhu didn't have much money, so he had to borrow it. It can be said that Sha Zhu now owes about 300 yuan.

More than half of the workers in the steel rolling mill earn less than 300 yuan a year, which is not a small amount.

"Sister Qin." When Sha Zhu was about to go to work, he saw Qin Huairu living opposite him as soon as he walked out of the house.

"Good morning, Shazhu!" Qin Huairu also greeted him, but her expression didn't look very good.

Qin Huairu couldn't feel good when she thought about the fact that Sha Zhu was in a lot of debt.

In the words of Jia Zhang, the silly one is from the Jia family.

In the past, Sha Zhu would spend most of his monthly salary to support the Jia family.

What Qin Huairu hopes most is to deal with Sha Zhu so that she can get benefits without really paying anything.

As for Sha Zhu's youth, being single and having no family, Qin Huairu could only say sorry in her heart.

Anyway, Qin Huairu has a son and a daughter, so she is not afraid of wasting time.

For the sake of her three children, Qin Huairu can delay Sha Zhu's whole life.

It is not easy for widows to survive in this era. There are many people like Qin Huairu, and some are even worse than her.

There are relatively few people like Sha Zhu, so Qin Huairu will not give up on Sha Zhu easily.

However, Sha Zhu's salary was low and he was in debt, so he couldn't help the Jia family much, which made Qin Huairu's attitude towards Sha Zhu change subtly. Sha Zhu was not a fool, so of course he also felt that Qin Huairu's attitude towards him had changed.

However, Sha Zhu did not think about drawing a line between himself and Qin Huairu, but instead thought about how to go back to the past.

Shazhu still wanted to ride Qin Huairu's bicycle to go to the factory together, but Qin Huairu sent Banggeng to school.

In other words, Banggeng’s right hand was disabled, otherwise he would have ridden his bicycle to school by himself.

Since Banggeng can't ride a bicycle, Qin Huairu can only ride it. They can't just treat the bicycle as a decoration.

Bang Geng is like he didn't see the stupid column.

Sha Zhu has told others more than once that Qin Huairu's three children were well educated, and that's it?

"Shazhu, an important leader is coming to inspect the factory today. You have to clean the toilet." Xu Damao came from the backyard.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do this." Shazhu.

"I'm the deputy section chief, how dare you talk to me like that?" Xu Damao's face darkened and he acted like a leader.

"Want to control me? Wait until you become the factory director." With a disdainful curl of his lips, Sha Zhu left.

A cold light flashed in Xu Damao's eyes, and he was thinking about how to deal with Sha Zhu.
