I am He Yuzhu in Siheyuan

"Lao Yi, I'm here to ask for help. Alas! What an unfilial son!"

"Lao Yan, what do you say?"

At this time, a person in the front yard said

"Teacher Yan's two sons demolished the earthquake shelter. Now we have no place to go, so we just want to see if we can squeeze in."

"Lao Yan, it's okay to squeeze in now. What should we do at night? Our shed isn't big enough for such a big family."

The current Yi Zhonghai is not the Yi Zhonghai in the drama. After having Fangfang, Yi Zhonghai will consider his family first. He and He Yuzhu are now living together because of Fangfang, Yueliang and Dantou. If I ask you to squeeze in now, will the He family be happy? I myself am not happy.

"Then there's really nothing we can do now, Lao Yi!"

"Tear down the beds and build a shed first. It's so hot now and it's cool at night. If there's dew, people will definitely get sick."

Seeing that no one was taking them in, the people in the front yard went back in shame.

They didn't even think about the fact that Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu's family of seven wanted to take advantage of such a small shed. Is it possible?

"Xu Damao, go get a kettle of water. The food is almost ready. Boil a kettle of water for everyone to drink later."

"it is good."

There are only a few families in the Central Courtyard, the Yi family and the He family together, and the Jia family of five together. Jia Dang came back today. She originally lived in the school dormitory. She works at the school, so she did not go to the countryside.

The other families built their own earthquake shelters. It has been 76. Although no one is wealthy, no one has to go hungry. After all, they live in Beijing and have jobs.

At night, several women lived in the middle yard, and three men lived in the back yard. They spared the life of Xu Damao's chickens. Now everything is in the yard for fear of being hated.

The two families agreed to kill each other after the disaster.

The next day at work, in the steel mill conference room.

Li Huaide spoke first, without much introduction.

"Comrades, our neighbor Tangshan has suffered a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Comrades from the People's Liberation Army have gone to the disaster relief. The superiors hope that we can lend a helping hand. Now all departments should speak up."

Production Department

"We can rush out a batch of shovels and crowbars, as well as grappling hooks and other tools."

Logistics Department

"We can ask the canteen to steam a batch of two-grain steamed buns, and provide pickles and kimchi, and we can also send a group of medical staff to provide support."

"Okay, the Transportation Department will prepare three large trucks on standby. Logistics Section Chief Wang will lead the team, and they will be loaded and set off before 3 p.m. The Publicity Department will prepare banners. Time is running out, everyone, hurry up and let the meeting adjourn!"

Everyone quickly returned to their posts to give orders.

At 4: in the afternoon, the workers were still loading the trucks, and Li Huaide gathered all the people who were on business trips to give them a lecture.

"On this business trip, everyone should perform their duties. When they arrive at the place, they should follow the instructions of Section Chief Wang. They are not allowed to interfere in anything or cause trouble to the comrades of the People's Liberation Army and the compatriots who suffered in Tangshan."

"Also, Section Chief Wang is your direct leader. Anyone who disobeys orders will be fired. Everyone should work hard. When you leave, you will represent the face of our steel mill. Of course, everyone should be at least one individual advanced when you return."

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's go after the other workers finish loading the cars. When we come back, I'll serve you a celebratory drink and Director He will cook it himself."

"Yes!"

At night, He Yuzhu and Brick returned home and slept outside just like they did the day before. It was not safe inside the house as they didn't know when aftershocks would occur and some people's houses had collapsed.

The next day, the street began to register whether there were any families whose houses needed repairs. Of course, you could also repair it yourself, depending on your personal needs, and the street would assign someone to repair it.

Before the sadness of the disaster had passed, some exciting news came.

Major factories are now recruiting temporary workers.

Because of the earthquake, many houses collapsed and some other reasons, workers or their families were injured in major factories. In order to resume production, some temporary workers are now being recruited.

Temporary workers do not have workstations and are only considered as support workers. The factory will pay them wages and will not fire them at will, but they do not have inherited workstations.

The steel rolling mill wants to recruit 200 people, 150 of whom will be internally recruited, with priority given to workers' family members, and 50 will be recommended by the street.

When the news came out, the whole city was in a state of excitement. It was hard to find jobs for the educated youths who had returned home. Major factories were recruiting temporary workers. Although they were all temporary workers, they were paid and it was also work. It was better than just eating at home.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu brought a stick to Yi Zhonghai's house

"Master Dongxu, Banggeng has grown up. I have no skills and can only sweep the streets. Now I have a chance. Can you let him become your disciple again for Dongxu's sake?"

Qin Huairu begged humbly, and Banggeng also lowered his head.

"Huai Ru, you are also an experienced fitter, how come you don't know my situation? I am a rehired employee now, and my level is too high. I only train people above level 6. At my age, I can't do much. My physical strength and energy can't keep up.

Also, if Banggeng wants to learn locksmithing, it would be best if he could find a Level 4 worker. You can also teach him yourself. If he wants to learn welding or electrician, that's fine too. I can bring him to the steel mill for internal recruitment and guarantee him a job. You guys go back and think about it first, and come with me tomorrow morning."

Yi Zhonghai helped Banggeng for the last time for the sake of Jia Dongxu, but that was the best he could do. He still had a regular worker's job, which was reserved for Dantou.

He wanted to give his work station to Dantou when he went to the countryside, and marry Fangfang when he was old enough. Only then would he truly have someone to rely on when he was old.

Unlike others, He Yuzhu, who knew history, did not need a temporary job at all. His two sons had already been arranged, and his daughter was still young, so Xingzhi was just at home to take care of the children.

He Yuzhu continued to walk leisurely towards the steel rolling mill with bricks, but his mood changed when he was about to reach the gate.

"Uncle! Is it really you? Are you also from the steel mill?"

Han Chunming was surprised to see the old man who knocked him down that day. He thought he could find out what was going on in the steel mill.

He Yuzhu also saw the young man who was knocked down that day, and he really wanted to say "fuck you" in his heart.

"Well, are you also from the steel mill? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm not one yet. All the major factories are recruiting temporary workers, so I went to the street office to sign up and was assigned to the steel rolling mill."

"Well, now that you're here, do your best!"

He Yuzhu was about to leave when the young man came over with a grin and asked

"Uncle, is there a chef named He Yuzhu in your steel mill? His cooking skills are very high and he is one of the best in the city. Do you know if he likes anything? My dream since childhood has been to be a chef..."

"I don't know him!" He Yuzhu interrupted him mercilessly.

"Oh, forget it, it's okay, sir, take care!"

Brick looked at his father with a strange expression, trying to hold back a smile. As he looked at his father with a dark face, he finally managed to hold it back.

After arriving at the factory and his father leaving, Brick finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hahahaha!"

In the morning, He Yuzhu was slacking off in the office when his door suddenly got knocked.

"Please come in!"

Then a lady from the HR department came in with a young man.

"Director He, this is the temporary worker assigned to the canteen by the factory. His name is Han Chunming. I brought him to you."

The HR lady was having a headache. Now everyone wanted to go to the workshop, where the salary was high and they could learn skills. So who should the people in the canteen be assigned to? Unexpectedly, a young man said with a grin that he wanted to go to the canteen and gave her two candies to make things convenient for her.

The eldest sister didn't ask for his candy, she just took it.

"Uncle! Why is it you?"

He Yuzhu ignored him and said to the elder sister who brought him here

"Well, okay, I see."

"Then I'll go back first."

After the elder sister left, He Yuzhu said to the young man

"Your name is Han Chunming? Come with me."

"Yes!" Han Chunming put away his playful smile and said.

He Yuzhu took him to the third cafeteria and handed him over to the squad leader Ma Hua, then went back to the office, leaving Han Chunming to ask Ma Hua something.

He couldn't get any useful information from MCA, as He Yuzhu's followers were notoriously tight-lipped.

Gradually, Han Chunming learned from Liu Lan that the canteen director was He Yuzhu. He was embarrassed and excited. Was this the legendary fate?

He Yuzhu was not in the mood to care about Han Chunming's affairs. He was very nervous and his heart was beating very fast recently. The biggest earthquake since the founding of the People's Republic of China was about to come.

1976 years 9 months,

I heard from the old people that on that day, all the people who were working put down their work, ran to the open space, and burst into tears.

All the people felt like the sky had fallen.

The blue sky above the people's heads, the teacher who called us the sun at 8 or 9 o'clock, has passed away.

This is the darkest day in New China.

People all over the country wrapped their arms with black gauze and wore white flowers.

Men, women, young and old all burst into tears, marking the end of an era.

A year full of disasters.
