From then on, the people in the courtyard changed their names to the three uncles, namely, the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle. Each courtyard was responsible for one uncle, and they would go to them to settle trivial matters.

Wu Cuiying was cleaning her son's room that day and found candy wrappers and snacks on the bed. All of them were sweet.

After dinner, the family started to target him. They severely disciplined him for eating candy. The family never forbade him to do so, and he even bought candy secretly. Other children had never had cavities and rotten teeth. They rarely ate sweets. But you had a cavity last year. When you went to the hospital, the doctor had never seen such a case. Most people had a very low standard of living and were reluctant to eat even a piece of candy. Not to mention cavities, everyone in the yard laughed at you.

"You don't want to have a mouth full of uneven teeth, which is ugly and will make it difficult to find a wife in the future."

"Listen to your mother this time and don't eat candy casually. Your two sisters are usually very obedient."

He Yuzhu was very happy when he received the letter one day. He ran to Wu Cuiying and said to the uncle and aunt, "My father is coming back, and he will be back before the Chinese New Year."

It turned out that they hadn't seen each other for several years, and they wanted to go back to see each other and have a good New Year. In addition, He Yuzhu had grown up, so they wanted him to find a wife and live a good life.

He Daqing came back two days before the Chinese New Year, and all the neighbors who knew him were surprised.

"Old Yi, thank you for taking care of the brother and sister over the years. Without further ado, our two families will celebrate the New Year together the day after tomorrow and I will show you my skills," He Daqing expressed his gratitude.

The siblings He Yuzhu and Yu Shui followed their father everywhere, fearing that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

When Jia Zhang heard that the two families were celebrating the New Year together, she said she wanted to celebrate the New Year with them. He Daqing didn't tolerate her and scolded her by name, saying that she wanted to celebrate together but didn't give her anything and wanted to eat for free. He said that if she dared to make a move, he would even beat a woman. In the end, she rolled back in disgrace, and Jia Dongxu and the others didn't dare to come out when they heard it.

On the New Year's Eve, He Daqing invited the deaf old lady to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner. After four or five days, when he had to leave, He Yushui cried and refused to let him go. He said he would come back after finishing the work there in a few years. He also introduced He Yuzhu to the daughter of his senior brother, and told him to seize this opportunity.

Not long after, Jia Dongxu was injured in a machine accident caused by improper operation. The workers in the workshop quickly helped to turn off the power supply, and all the power supply in the entire workshop was suspended. He was dead on the spot when he was sent to the hospital. Jia Zhang was crying and making a fuss, demanding an explanation from the factory. Qin Huairu fainted on the spot when she heard the news. Then Director Yang decided to keep Qin Huairu at work and compensated her 200 yuan.

She was found to be pregnant because of fainting. She was in a miserable state and was called a jinx. People said that Jia Dongxu had bad luck since marrying her, which was why the accident happened.

A lot of things happened in the compound. He Yuzhu married a junior sister who could be said to be from the same school. Her father was He Daqing's senior brother. She liked to eat but didn't like to move, so she was attracted by He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

The younger generation are all married and there is no change.

Bang Geng was caught stealing Xu Damao's chicken, but no one came to cover the loss, so he ended up paying five yuan. Qin Huairu acted like a white lotus and looked at the men in the yard hoping they could help, but they were all watched closely by her own wife.

Qin Huairu went to see the uncle hoping to help the Jia family. Yi Zhonghai advised her to work hard. The compensation was 200 yuan, and her usual salary was just enough. There were several families in the courtyard and front yard who were in more difficult situations than her, so she had to live her life as usual.

At the wash basin in the courtyard, several aunts were washing clothes and chatting. They talked about how the widow Qin learned the skill of seducing people from somewhere. The three uncles' children never passed by the Jia family and were not allowed to play with their children, for fear of corrupting their tempers. Just look at that stick. If the mother of the two girls is like this, she will follow suit and it will be difficult for her to get married when she grows up. They will not want this daughter-in-law.

Qin Huairu was as pale as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. She leaned against the wall at the corner. She had always loved her children, but she never expected that everyone in the orphanage knew about her usual behavior and it would affect them.

The nationwide campaign of going to the countryside and mountains began, and all those who met the requirements were notified to go to the countryside.

The only one who met the quota was his eldest son, who wanted to venture out to try his luck. Yi Zhonghai was in a lot of trouble. Life in the countryside was hard, but young people in the city didn't know that.

Finally, Wu Cuiying said that if he couldn't stay any longer, he should write back and find a job for him. He was not allowed to fool around outside and stay away from the women in the village. When he was old enough, he should find a girl in the city.

During the past two years, the couple tried to get their two daughters jobs in the steel mill to prevent them from being targeted by the rough and rascals from the country.

He Yuzhu's family is doing well. His sister has a fiancé and his wife has given birth to two children. He is also a family man and is not as impulsive as before. He doesn't fight with Xu Damao and doesn't use his broken mouth to win him over.

The Jia family became quiet after Qin Huairu's death. They worked hard and were promoted to second-level workers. Only Jia Zhang would make trouble from time to time. Bang Geng was used to stealing and robbing, and he was as absent-minded as a street urchin. When he was old enough, the street office notified him to go to the countryside, but he refused to go. In the end, Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree to send a package every month.

Yi Zhonghai learned from the Human Resources Department that they were going to recruit workers, and he used his connections to exchange jobs in the Purchasing Department in advance. He let his eldest daughter go to work first, and his second daughter bought a teller job in the Foreign Goods Building with money.

When Wu Cuiying knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed, she packed up a lot of books and sent them to her eldest son in the countryside, asking him to return quickly after passing the exam.

On the day the college entrance examination was resumed, the whole country was in an uproar, and all those professors and intellectuals were rehabilitated.

The eldest son left immediately after receiving the admission letter after the college entrance examination. He had seen too much in the past few years. Those village girls wanted to marry educated youths, using all kinds of methods. Fortunately, he was smart and hid quickly. He worked in the courtyard with the educated youths at the same time and never avoided anyone.

Yi Zhonghai bought three small yards in Beijing and divided them among his three children. The steel mill's profits declined and many workers were laid off.

Wu Cuiying felt that the days passed very quickly. She took out all the things that had not been in the space for a long time and left them to her children. She also distributed the stamps, antiques and gold bars she collected to them, leaving only some gold and silver for them to use. After experiencing these worlds, each time was a new beginning, and each relationship was carefully managed. She was not a greedy person, and basically loved her children very much, and left everything to them.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao are really a pair of happy enemies who quarrel with each other in their old age. The courtyard has also become a nursing home, and the old men and women in the courtyard are reluctant to leave. Their old age life is also very good, and no matter who their children are, they will come to take care of or visit them as long as they are free.

The Jia family was miserable. Bang Geng was arrested for breaking the law, and Qin Huairu's daughter was sold to someone else to work and was abused. Qin Huairu went to ask the three uncles for help but they were unsuccessful. In the end, the people in the courtyard left food for Jia Zhang because they saw that she fainted from hunger. From then on, she had to beg for food from every family to survive. After being laid off, Qin Huairu was old, not good-looking, and had no ability. She could only survive by relying on the old men nearby.
