Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?
Chapter 73 "Full of Love" - World Widows Raising Children 14
In 66, after Jian Dang officially became a member of the government, he was also allocated a room in the courtyard, right next to Liu Yuxi's side room. Liu Yuxi had it renovated so that he and his wife could live there when they got married. Jian Dang was allocated two rooms in a large courtyard near the train station, where his colleagues from the train station also lived. Liu Yuxi also paid to renovate the courtyard for him. Jian Dang now lives there, only returning to the courtyard to rest when he comes back from a trip. Nowadays, houses can't be left empty; if they are, the factory will take them back. These two rooms will be Jian Dang's only option for his wedding.
Liu Yuxi usually wore work clothes, so she didn't remind her family much. They were all ordinary people, and most of their clothes were colors that didn't show dirt. However, at the end of 65, Liu Yuxi bought a few copies of Quotations and asked her two children to memorize them with her. She had already checked everything at home and told Jianguo that he was not allowed to bring any foreign language manuals or other foreign language materials home; they should be left at the workplace.
In the past, Jian Dang would often bring back some things when he went out on trips, either for his own consumption or to "exchange" with his neighbors. Now Liu Yuxi doesn't allow him to bring them back anymore; in short, he's being very careful with his words and actions.
Xu Damao had already trained several apprentices, and now he was transferred to the propaganda department as a junior staff member. He had no ambition and just lived a stable life in the factory. Unlike in the drama, he didn't accompany the leaders to drink. After all, he was no longer the son-in-law of the Lou family.
After reading Liu Yuxi's notes to Liu Guangtian, the second uncle felt that having these notes would save him a lot of trouble when taking on apprentices. Since he didn't want to disturb Liu Guangtian every night, he dictated the notes and had Liu Guangfu record them for him. After he finished writing them down, he showed them to Liu Yuxi, who helped him organize them and then told him that he could hand them over to the factory so that Liu Guangtian could start a training class and quickly train a group of junior forging workers.
By 66, Liu Haizhong had already trained two groups of junior blacksmiths and was now completely immersed in the joy of teaching. So when the movement started, although he still wanted to become an official, after Liu Guangtian said a few words to him, he gave up. Ordinary people are not so ruthless; most people couldn't bear to watch the scenes of criticism and struggle sessions.
In 66, Liu Yuxi had already passed the Level 7 fitter exam, Yi Zhonghai was a Level 8 fitter, Liu Haizhong was a Level 7 blacksmith, Jia Dongxu was a Level 5 fitter, and Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang were Level 3 fitters. After getting married, He Yuzhu no longer offended people everywhere like before. He was now a Level 6 cook, earning 48.5 yuan a month. With the canteen supervisor's allowance, he earned more than 50 yuan a month. Moreover, he often took on private jobs, earning a considerable income each time. Therefore, his family's income cannot be judged solely by their salaries.
Xu Damao earns more than 40 yuan a month. In addition, his father earns a salary from working at the movie theater, and the Lou family gave his mother a lot of good things when they dismissed their servants a couple of years ago. So Xu Damao's family is doing quite well. In addition, the combined salary of Liu Yuxi's mother and her two children is almost 200 yuan a month. I didn't expect that the living standards of the people in the courtyard in "Full House of Love" were quite high!
Unlike in the drama, He Yushui did not work in a textile factory. Instead, He Yuzhu helped her get a job in the logistics department of a steel rolling mill after she graduated from high school. After all, the steel rolling mill was a well-known large factory in the area, and its treatment and benefits were much better than those of the textile factory.
In this life, He Yushui's partner is still that lowly policeman. Perhaps it's fate. However, He Daqing comes back every year to see his grandchildren and He Yushui. He also has an older brother and sister-in-law. His brother is a good cook and has a wide network of connections. The dowry has already been prepared. In this life, He Yushui's marriage should not be as difficult as it was in the drama.
The plot had completely fallen apart. By 68, when the neighborhood committee came to mobilize people to go to the countryside, the only people of suitable age left in the courtyard were Liu Guangfu, Banggeng, and Yan Jiedi. So, the three of them went to the countryside after graduating from high school, but they all returned to the city after less than two years. Banggeng got a job through an old man's connections, while Liu Guangfu was an apprentice in one of Liu Haizhong's first two training classes. A widowed relative of his had retired and had no one to take over his job, so Liu Haizhong bought it for Liu Guangfu. Yan Jiedi found a husband for herself when she went back to the city to visit relatives, got married, and returned to the city. Once the children reached the appropriate age, they no longer needed to go to the countryside, so the courtyard remained quite peaceful.
Jianguo and Jiandang got married in 71 and 72 respectively. Jianguo's wife, Wang Mei, was introduced by a local matchmaker and worked as an accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative. Jiandang's wife, Chen Lili, was his colleague and worked as a broadcaster on the train. From their jobs, it's clear that both wives were not only quite outstanding themselves, but also came from well-off families for that era.
Because Liu Yuxi still had some modern ideas, and she had her own job and income, the two children lived their own lives after they got married. However, Jianguo and his wife lived with Liu Yuxi. In this day and age, daughters-in-law are all hardworking. At first, Liu Yuxi was not used to Wang Mei taking over the work from her. Because she had been doing some things for more than ten years, she did them without thinking. Later, when Wang Mei took over, she stopped doing them and usually just washed her own clothes.
Jianguo and Jiangdang were educated by Liu Yuxi to be like men of later generations. They could do any kind of work and knew how to cherish their wives. Whenever the young couple quarreled, Liu Yuxi would always side with his wife. Therefore, the two wives respected their mother-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
When her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, Liu Yuxi took care of her more because they lived together. Her younger daughter-in-law lived further away because of her work, so Liu Yuxi could only visit her on Sundays when she was pregnant. Even during her postpartum period, her mother-in-law took care of her. After her younger daughter-in-law gave birth, there was no one to take care of her at home. It would be a pity for Liu Yuxi to give up her job, so she could only continue to trouble her mother-in-law. However, because Liu Yuxi managed the relationship between her and her mother-in-law well and was generous with money, there were no conflicts in the family.
Before the implementation of the family planning policy, Jian Guo had three children, two sons and one daughter, while Jian Dang's family only had two sons, which was fine. Liu Yuxi felt that two or three children were just right for a family; any more and the parents would not have enough energy, and some children would always be neglected.
After the college entrance examination was reinstated, Jian Dang had no intention of taking it, but Jianguo still took the exam and pursued further studies. However, he took the exam while working and returned to the technical department of the steel rolling mill after graduation.
This must be the most down-to-earth life Liu Yuxi has ever lived. Her entire life followed the same routine as ordinary people: working, raising children, and enjoying her grandchildren in retirement. The only difference was that when houses could be bought and sold, she bought a few more houses with her two sons and in-laws. Apart from the earthquake warning, this one was much more advanced than the first. She didn't need to personally put on makeup and show up. There were military drones in her space, and she used them to drop the notes at night.
Liu Yuxi passed away in 2016, at the beginning of the new century, when four generations of his family were living together.
