I am He Yuzhu in Siheyuan

He Yuzhu didn't know when Ma Hua entered the steel rolling mill in the play, but at the end of 57, he saw Ma Hua in the third canteen.

A young man of 15 or 6 years old, as thin as a bamboo pole, followed the canteen director to the kitchen with his head lowered, without saying a word. He was an honest child.

On the first day, I cleaned the place first, peeled potatoes, and picked vegetables. After finishing my work, I watched the canteen aunt serve the food from the window.

He Yuzhu did not show any special enthusiasm when he saw the loyal disciple in the play. He believed that it was not a good deal to be pursued, and the truth should not be passed on lightly. People would not cherish things that were too easy to obtain.

Some people think Ma Hua is thin and say that he comes from a poor family. He Yuzhu can tell you responsibly that it is impossible!

As long as you have a job, you will not starve to death. And if you feel that the salary in logistics is too low, you can apply to transfer to a workshop.

He Yuzhu is not very busy this year. The Russians' support for the steel rolling mill in the first half of the year has ended, and now they are going to provide support elsewhere.

The Russians' support in our country is a business trip, with subsidies, which will be repaid in the future. China is so big, there are not many Russian experts, and they have to be served with good food and drink in every place.

He Yuzhu was not in the mood to care about the steel mill. He was now cooking four dishes and a soup at home.

It has been almost two years since Sun the matchmaker first came to the door. She has brought back three girls in total. It's not that her job is not good, but some people's parents don't want their daughters to meet their parents once they hear about their family situation, just like now in rural areas, people are not allowed to marry off girls with two boys.

The only three remaining ones came to his house and saw that although the conditions were good, they were bossy about everything, such as what to do after marriage. Some of them complained about the low salary of the cooks, and that the cooks in the factory could only be assigned to level 6, which had no bright future.

As a soul from the future, He Yuzhu is used to late marriage and late childbearing. Every time he blows, he comforts her.

The matchmaker said that she was still young and not in a hurry, and asked him to pick a better one next time. The matchmaker was helpless. He Yuzhu was so good and only 22 years old. She couldn't go to the countryside to pick one like Jia Dongxu did.

Moreover, after the establishment of the rural commune, the economy was collectivized, and there was no quota for rural girls to marry in the city. Their household registration could not be transferred, and their children would also have rural household registration. Regardless of whether He Yuzhu was willing or not, Sun the matchmaker could not afford to lose face and ruin her reputation!

But I am already 57 and I am 22 years old, so I have to hurry up.

I originally thought that after 58 years, when everyone goes hungry again, they will remember the chef’s kindness, and it should be easier to find him then.

It’s no use now, the trivial frictions in the yard have already begun.

Bang Terrier is more than 3 years old now. Now is the age that even dogs dislike. He flips around here, touches there, and wants everything.

When there were dried radishes and some other things drying in the yard, he would pick them up and stuff them into his mouth without paying attention. Qin Huairu couldn't stop him and could only apologize embarrassedly.

The neighbors didn't care about it either. They just thought it was just some dried radish and pickles.

But every time Bang Geng saw other children eating candy, he would come over, and the adults would give him one when they saw it. Also, when the family was having a meal together, the smell would directly attract Bang Geng over, and when people saw him, they would give him a piece of meat to eat.

Now that living conditions are better, this is not a big deal, but it can’t stand going on like this year after year.

Every time Jia Z Zhang saw that Bang Geng had made some gains, she would smile from ear to ear and would keep praising her good grandson for being so amazing.

Finally, one time when the adults were chatting, I don't know who brought it up first, but a group of women started talking about it at once. Jia Zhang became unhappy and started cursing at the same time.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? The women of this period came from the old society, and they are all extremely tough. Jia Zhang immediately surrendered to them.

Then Jia Zhang sat down on the ground, clapped his hands, slammed his buttocks on the ground, and called out to Lao Jia. When the others saw that Jia Zhang had opened a big bet, they didn't bother with him and dispersed.

In the evening, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai returned home and learned about this. They went door to door to apologize. It was not a big deal. Even if the Jia family wanted to apologize, it should be Jia Dongxu who came. What was the point of Yi Zhonghai coming? He came to call for punishment.

After two days of hard work, Yi Zhonghai basically gave up hope of having a son. He originally wanted to adopt a son, but when he saw his apprentice Jia Dongxu, who greeted him every day, rushed to serve him lunch at noon, and was motivated and organized, he thought that he could rely on him when he was old.

So every month, he would give some relief, occasionally let his wife cook a couple of dishes, and drink together to keep in touch with his teacher and apprentice. Jia Dongxu worked very hard, now he earns more than 40 yuan a month as a second-level worker. Although he is the only one in the family who has a certain amount of money, he does not steal, rob, or complain about poverty. He feeds the whole family and has some left over. Although life is tight, he never complains about anything.

Yi Zhonghai became more and more fond of Jia Dongxu, and when this incident happened, he immediately joined forces with Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai is the eldest uncle in the courtyard, with a high income and a small population. Whenever someone is short of money and asks for help, he will give it to them as long as they write an IOU. He will help anyone who needs help when they encounter problems, and since he has no children, he usually doesn't offend anyone and has considerable prestige in the courtyard.

He also supports his old lady. When anyone mentions Yi Zhonghai, those who disagree give him a thumbs up. In this era of collective honor, every courtyard is closed-door and muddy, but Yi Zhonghai does not offend anyone. He compromises, and those who make mistakes compensate, and those who suffer losses compensate more, so that neither of them suffers.

Every year, red flags are hung on the model courtyards, and peanuts and melon seeds are distributed on the streets during the New Year. Few people are dissatisfied.

This was the original Yi Zhonghai. Ever since Jia Dongxu appeared in his sight, the two of them were now as close as father and son, so naturally he had to consider Jia Dongxu.

So every time there was a festival, he would invite He Yuzhu to celebrate with him without fail. He would also come to He Yuzhu and say something like, "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you help them, they will repay you. People should not only think about themselves."

Every time He Yuzhu finished listening, he would smile and say, "Okay, I've learned something from you," but he never did it. "Old man, I didn't ask anyone for anything in the beginning, and I didn't accept any favors from anyone, just to prevent anyone from coming here to ask for repayment and moral blackmail."

In this era, people are willing to make sacrifices and help others. Although we have not yet reached the stage to learn the spirit of Lei Feng, you cannot say that Yi Zhonghai's words are wrong. Although his intentions are not pure, he is standing on the moral high ground.

That's why He Yuzhu could always resist the urge to give him two big pockets. After all, they weren't married yet, so he had to have a good reputation. It was already hard to find a wife, wouldn't it be even harder if his reputation was ruined?

Other families were not at peace either.

This year, Liu Guangqi graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to a machinery factory as a cadre. Hearing that his superior had taken a fancy to him and wanted to marry his daughter to him, Liu Haizhong was very excited. Recently, he has been trying to use connections to show himself and get a job, so that his Liu family would not be a good match for the girl's family, but also would not bring shame to Liu Guangqi.

Logically speaking, Liu Haizhong, a 7th-level worker, teaches his apprentices attentively and has a high prestige in the workshop. It is normal and reasonable for him to have the idea of ​​improvement. However, his education level is really low, with only a primary school education, and he can't even speak politely. He is always rejected because of his insufficient education. The leader has already told you that it is not because of your ability, but because of your insufficient education, so go and study.

Liu Haizhong started to go to night school at night. He was almost 40 years old and was scolded like a grandson every day. His classmates also laughed at him. Every time he got angry outside, he would beat his children when he got home. Liu Guangtian was two years younger than Yushui, and Liu Guangfu was two years older than Banggeng. They were at an age that even dogs disliked, and sometimes they got into trouble. They were beaten every day until they cried like ghosts and wolves.

Liu Haizhong went to night school for a year and finally got a high school diploma, but he was unwilling to continue. First, he thought it was too slow, and second, it was too difficult for a 40-year-old illiterate to go to school. At the beginning of the year, he got a ticket and bought a radio. When he had nothing to do at home, he learned the speeches on the radio. He wanted to improve himself and make himself more cultured by listening to the broadcast scripts given by others.

Yan Bugui's two years as a door god have not been in vain. He greets everyone he sees, saying that it is to monitor and prevent strangers from entering the compound. He greets anyone who comes back from shopping. Some people can't afford to let him off, so he always gets something.

At home, we are becoming more and more stingy, and we are truly fair and just. The porridge is divided by spoon, the pickles are divided by roots, and the peanuts and melon seeds are divided by grains.

Recently, the eldest son Yan Jiecheng graduated from junior high school, but failed to get into high school, so he started to do odd jobs. Yan Bugui was born into a small business family, and he exploited the capitalists to the extreme. Yan Jiecheng took half of the money from odd jobs to repay his kindness in raising him, and also paid for food and accommodation at home, and the rest was shared equally with his brothers.

The other kids started keeping accounts, keeping a clear record of how much they spent each month and what they did with it. The books they used were all from school.

There was nothing wrong with Xu Damao, except that he started to flirt with women after he became an adult. He liked to throw bricks at women whenever he had nothing to do. He also met some bad friends outside and truly became a moonlighter in the 50s.

With the support of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang became more and more overbearing, and advertised her family's high-ranking family in the courtyard, leaving all the housework to Qin Huairu. People who didn't know her would think she was an old lady from some mansion. Only recently did Qin Huairu restrain herself because she was pregnant again.
