Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

When I put the quilts and clothes back, I saw someone behind me looking at him. When I turned around, he disappeared immediately. I locked the cellar and the back room, cleaned up the east wing first, wiped the fire pit and put the quilt and sheets on it, took out the wooden barrel and went to the front yard to get water, wiped all the tables, chairs, walls, and corners. Suddenly, when I was wiping the wall of the table, I found a brick. There was something wrong with the cracks on the edge, which was not right with the other things. I tilted it a little and found that it could move. I took out a piece of kraft paper wrapped in the brick and took it out carefully. It was about the size of a palm. I looked to see if there was anything else inside. If there was nothing, I took some soil to fill the brick and put it back. I put it on the table and opened it. It turned out to be a dragon-shaped jade pendant. It was a double dragon playing with a pearl and the pearl was red. It was priceless. It must have come from the palace and was used by the emperor. I don’t know which emperor it was.

I can't take it out now or something bad will happen. Besides, I don't know how it got here, and I don't know who the owner is. I'll put it back in the space cabinet and wait for later.

After I had cleaned up the house, it was already dark. I was so hungry that I ate some rice porridge and steamed buns, and then fell asleep. I was so sleepy.

When the next morning came, I woke up hungry. I planned to buy some daily necessities today. I didn't need to buy any of the things I had collected. I was going to buy a stove first to make do with my meals. I couldn't eat in the space every day, people would definitely get suspicious. I had to find someone to divide the house into two parts to make a kitchen and a bathroom. I definitely needed money, but I didn't have enough silver dollars. I went to the space to see what I could pawn. I couldn't have anything unreasonable.

The living room is full of useless things, too modern, some small things in the coffee table cabinet are unusable, suddenly I remembered that there is a 11g 500kg Pu'er tea brick on the TV cabinet that I bought during the Double 1 live broadcast, and the packaging is retro waterproof kraft paper, which is fine. Wrap it with a piece of basket cloth and put it in the backpack.

I went to a breakfast shop outside to eat fried dough sticks and soy milk. After thinking about it, I asked the shop owner where the pawn shop was. The owner was not surprised because people often go there to pawn their goods.

"Shopkeeper, how much do you think this is worth?" I took out a Pu'er tea brick and put it on top. The old man inside was wearing glasses. He slowly took the things on the cabinet and opened it. There was a layer of kraft paper inside. The young man said it was a Pu'er tea brick, which had been stored for more than three years and weighed more than one kilogram. The shopkeeper opened the kraft paper and a smell of Pu'er tea wafted out. I smelled it and it smelled very pure Pu'er, and the color was very bright. A rare and fine product. "Young man, I'll give you 200 silver dollars, what do you think?" I felt that the price was a bit low, and said, "Shopkeeper, can't it be a little higher? The price is a bit low."

"I'll just add 20 dollars, no more." The shopkeeper had experienced a lot, and most of the times in the pawnshop, the price would be lowered.

"Thank you, boss." I know that most pawn shops have low prices, so these are all sold at a low price.

I went to the trafficker at that time and asked him if he had any decorators to recommend. He said there was a master leading a team in the back alley of the street.

I have agreed with the master about the decoration requirements for the east wing. I will pay for it but not provide food. I will also paint the two rooms on the back wing. I will not use them for the time being. I will use one of them as a study.

After a month, the house was all ready and I got to know the people in the backyard. I slowly started to sort out some things in the cellar. I found some empty boxes made of camphor wood, and some porcelain. There was still a row of boxes that had not been moved. They were all books, calligraphy and painting, and some four treasures of the study. The owner might think they were not valuable, so he didn't want them to save the trouble of moving them. According to my experience of watching national treasures, they will be very valuable in the future. I put them in boxes and sorted them out and put them back in the guest room. There were not many things in it, and I just burned a broken bed as firewood. Some empty boxes have been stacked separately and put in there until they can be used in the future. Now the cellar is empty. I plan to put some food and cabbage in it.

I asked someone to bring two carts of cabbage to the cellar, and I also brought 2 kilograms of rice and 5 kilograms of various coarse grains from several grain stores in Beijing. During this period, people began to live in the front and back yards one after another, all of them rented houses.

I learned some time ago that He Daqing, who lives in the middle courtyard, is a chef who has been an apprentice in Fengzeyuan for three years. There is also a concubine in the backyard who is said to be Liu and is over 3 years old. There is also a groom named Jia Guomin who lives in the middle courtyard. Xu Yushu, who lives in the west wing of the front courtyard, bought two rooms. Suddenly I felt that these people looked familiar, but I didn't know where I had heard of them. I didn't think too much, just thinking that he is still young now, what will he do in the future? Either he should go to school to learn to read, now all characters are traditional Chinese, and he is illiterate now. It is not suitable to do anything else in the future.

There is a school nearby that offers 4th grade primary school and 5th grade high primary school. You can start from the beginning. If you learn quickly, you can skip grades and get a diploma in a few years.

I took precious photos in front of Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1940, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In 1942, several families moved in, including the Yi family.

Starting in 1942, people could choose between urban and rural household registration. In the courtyard, some people did not understand, but I knew the importance of household registration, so I chose urban household registration. But one of them, Jia Zhang, chose rural household registration.

I started to graduate with a high school diploma in 1943. In the past few years, I have been working as a Chinese teacher in the primary school affiliated to the Red Star Steel Plant. I earn some money by writing Spring Festival couplets for the people in the courtyard. I also grow some vegetables on the land near the cellar. When I have time, I go to the nearby recycling station to shop and collect some calligraphy copies and book collections.

In 1944, the principal introduced me to a girl named Li Hongmei, a 19-year-old math teacher. I had seen her before, she was an office worker in a primary school, she had pretty eyebrows and fair skin. But her parents had already estimated her price in exchange for a dowry to subsidize their son, and it would be difficult to get away if I got involved. I politely rejected the principal.

A few months later, I went fishing in Shichahai on my day off. This is one of my few hobbies. When I was digging earthworms by the river, I didn't notice a hand stretched out from the side. I was so scared that I almost screamed. I pushed aside the grass and saw a woman lying there by the river, wet and unconscious. I realized that she might have jumped into the river, so I quickly pulled her up and dragged her to the shore. I pressed her chest to release the air and vomited a lot of water. She woke up, but she was still unconscious.

He collected a lot of dry grass and branches on the shore, lit a fire and roasted them next to the woman. "Girl, how is it?"

"Thank you for saving my life," she cried.

"Don't cry, warm yourself by the fire first. Your clothes will get wet and you will get sick," said Yan Bugui.

"I have no home and I don't know where to go." Yang Ruihua cried with her beautiful face.

"what happened?"

"My parents are dead, my sister-in-law wants to marry a paralytic, and my brother doesn't say anything," he said in a hoarse voice.

I don't know what happened later, I took her back, looking at the girl following me. Why did I agree to her?

When they were almost at the street office, Yan Bugui asked her again if she really regretted it. In fact, it didn't matter who she married as long as the girl had no burden behind her, no bad guys coming to her house, and could stay at home and take care of everything at home.

"Director Wang, please wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you." Yan Bugui saw Director Wang and quickly stopped him.

"Teacher Yan, why are you here?" Director Wang came over to greet her.

"Director Wang, I'm here today to get a marriage certificate. This is my boyfriend Yang Ruihua," he replied. Fortunately, all his documents were in the space, so he took them out from his pocket with his hands covered.

"Director Wang, she is a girl from the nearby Yangjiazhuang, and she wants your help." I told her her identity and experience. In today's society, if you don't explain clearly, you will be treated as a spy.

"If I send her back, she might die. She's already died once. I thought since I don't have a partner, if she marries me, she won't have to go back."

"Girl, Teacher Yan has good personal abilities, a stable job, and a house. When the time comes, he will issue you a certificate and transfer your household registration to his place." Director Wang is very optimistic.

Fortunately, Director Wang was willing to help with the certificate, otherwise we really couldn't get a marriage certificate. Without the introduction certificate, we couldn't get one at all. We had to transfer our household registration to that household registration office, but it would probably be impossible to transfer our household registration so easily in a few years.

I took Yang Ruihua to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wedding candies to distribute to the residents in the courtyard, and brought some daily necessities and food back to the courtyard.

I went back to the front yard and took her into the east wing where some of the furnishings in my room were located. "Ruihua, this is the kitchen room near the door and windows, and this is the bathroom. You can take a shower or go to the toilet here." I put the things in the bedroom, asked her to change her clothes, and went to the front to distribute the wedding candies.

"Okay, Brother Yan, wait for me a moment." Yang Ruihua turned away shyly.

We started distributing wedding candies in the front yard. The son of the Xu family, who was just over ten years old this year, came to ask for wedding candies and said, "Hello, auntie." In the middle yard, there were He Daqing, Liu Zhonghai and other individual investors, and in the back yard, there were Grandma Liu, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Guomin.

"Why are there only a few wedding candies? You only gave a few for all of us. How stingy." Jia Zhang had a mean face. She kept talking and reaching out to grab the candies.

I have seen this kind of people in recent years. I have faced this kind of situation several times in school. They don't want girls to come to school and are very sarcastic and mean. Just ignore her and walk away.
