Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The two of them, along with their child, went back to the wife's parents' home.

Sha Zhu went home even more often than him.

Without a mother, having a father is the same as not having one.

Sha Zhu cherished this hard-won family bond all the more.

Every now and then, I would go and prepare a good meal for the elderly couple, bringing all the ingredients myself.

The two elders were increasingly satisfied with their son-in-law.

He is down-to-earth, skilled, filial, and caring.

He's a rough guy, you could say!

He also knows a bit about music and can play Go, which really made Ran's father think highly of him.

Furthermore, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are truly exceptional.

Two meals were enough to spoil the two elders' appetites.

Even if I don't eat it every few days, I still have to think about it.

He called out to go back inside, and soon Sha Zhu came running over.

He cheerfully said to Yang Jianguo, "Jianguo, your stove is really useful. It can cook food and keep it warm, and it doesn't take up much space."

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "I've said that many times."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and grinned sheepishly; you could tell something was wrong just by looking at him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "Hey, can I borrow one of those discs?"

plate?

Yang Jianguo suddenly realized and said, "You mean records?"

"Yes, that record, can I borrow it to listen to it?" Sha Zhu nodded vigorously.

Yang Jianguo asked curiously, "Did you buy a phonograph?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and said happily, "I didn't buy it, my father-in-law gave it to me."

"Qiuye said she wanted to listen to it when she got home, so I installed it for her. It's just that there aren't enough discs, so I came to borrow one from you to listen to."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he immediately added, "I'll return it to you after I hear it."

"Okay, wait a moment." Yang Jianguo readily agreed and went inside to get him a disc.

He came here specifically for "Symphony No. 5".

When he gave it to him, Yang Jianguo instructed, "This is the first time Yingzi and I have heard this piece of music, so you have to take good care of it."

"Absolutely, I'll bring it to you as soon as it's stored away."

"Don't stay up too late, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Alright!" Sha Zhu, having grabbed the plate, ran back in a flash.

Soon after, loud music filled the room.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the listening, Sha Zhu tidied up and returned the disc.

They were still discussing it with him, saying they would ask him to lend it to them again if they wanted to hear it later.

Seeing how reluctant he was to leave, Yang Jianguo smiled and closed the door directly.

He's even addicted!

The next morning, Yang Jianguo and Yingzi went to work as usual, and Aunt Yi also arrived home right on time.

Since taking care of the two children, Aunt Yi's spirits have been getting better day by day.

I've started to enjoy my meals more, walk faster, and even my chronic chest tightness has improved a lot.

Mental illness requires mental medicine.

Her previous illness was caused by constantly feeling stifled and uncomfortable.

These days, my mind isn't on 'why I don't have a child' anymore.

She spends all day playing with her two children, laughing happily, and doesn't think about anything else.

Once the knot in my heart is untied, my illness is three-tenths better.

Get active again, improve your physical fitness, and engage in appropriate physical activity to boost your body's metabolism and promote normal growth.

When you're healthy, you definitely look more energetic.

He rode his bicycle to the factory, and as soon as he entered the bicycle shed, Da Liu told him to push the bicycle over.

"Leave your bike here, I'll clean the dirt off, and the chain needs some oiling too."

Yang Jianguo didn't stand on ceremony. He went up, flipped the car over, and placed it in front of him, asking, "Uncle, is everything alright at home?"

Although we live in the same courtyard, we're so busy every day that our feet barely touch the ground.

Besides, everyone lives their own lives behind closed doors; no one can keep an eye on other people's homes all the time, or what would that look like?

So if there's anything you need to ask, you should still open your mouth and ask often.

"Everything's fine, everything's fine." Da Liu nodded happily.

Life is getting better and better these days.

Especially recently, he has started to explore repairing electrical appliances.

Every now and then, I'd rummage through scrap materials and piece together something 'new'.

After that, I had my wife take it to the market and sell it for 30-40% of the market price.

The earnings are quite substantial; I can earn over ten yuan each time.

If you're lucky, you can earn at least twenty dollars.

Just this alone is enough to ensure the family has enough to eat and wear every month.

In addition to their salaries, Da Liu and Aunt Liu also enjoy the benefits of factory workers, receiving occasional gifts.

Since the disaster struck, Da Liu never imagined that his family could live such a life.

Like a dream, he can still wake up laughing at night.

"How did Dajuan do on her exam this time?" Yang Jianguo asked.

Dajuan is about to take her exams and will be able to go to high school for the next few years without any worries. Xiaojuan is still young, so there's even less to worry about.

If she doesn't pass the exam, then let her come work at the factory.

Da Liu went home to rest, so he wasn't worried about anything.

"That child studies hard, there shouldn't be any problem!" The confidence on Da Liu's face said it all.

Having asked all the necessary questions, Yang Jianguo stood up, said a few words, and left.

Halfway there, they encountered Yu Haitang, who still had that dog-skin plaster stuck to her side, Xu Damao.

So they haven't given up yet, they're casting a wide net while focusing on key targets?

They pretended not to see it, and the two sides exchanged a brief glance before moving on.

After that incident, Yu Haitang didn't bother him anymore.

Even young women have pride and self-respect.

After being dealt such a blow by Yang Jianguo, he still stubbornly tries to curry favor with her; isn't that truly shameless?

But seeing him still made Yu Haitang feel uncomfortable.

Why was I so late?

Looking at the stinking 'fly' beside him, he couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "Xu Damao, are you ever going to stop?"

"Hey, Haitang, is it illegal for me to like you?" Xu Damao was really capable; he could throw away his shame without batting an eye.

Seeing his grinning face, Yu Haitang directly threatened, "Come talk to me again when you can surpass Yang Jianguo."

"I would never look down on you in my entire life, just like you are now."

Even with his thick skin, Xu Damao couldn't hold back when she insulted him to his face.

Watching Yu Haitang walk away, heading straight for the publicity department.

Xu Damao looked back, his face contorted with rage, and spat on the ground, "Pah! What's so great about them? We'll see!"

Xu Damao is currently planning how to join the Revolutionary Committee.

Once he gets into the Revolutionary Committee, you'll all be begging me for mercy. Just you wait!

Chapter 233 Brownie Camera, Old Yang is Furious (Explosive Update, Please Subscribe)

[Sign in for two consecutive days and receive a Bruni camera x1, film x2, job upgrade card x1, and a collection of materials on the development history of precision industry x1.]

A Brunny camera, two rolls of film?!

The reward he received this morning truly surprised him.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Yang Jianguo focused his attention on the award, "A Collection of the Development History of Precision Industry".

A text-based…illustrated…documentary that details the development and major milestones of the fine industry over the past century.

Meanwhile, some of the names and technical summaries briefly mentioned in the text provided Yang Jianguo with considerable inspiration.

The only regret is that only he can see this information.

However, if he were actually allowed to produce it, Yang Jianguo wouldn't dare to.

How can he explain to people that the time frame summarized in the "development history of precision industry" should be pushed back fifty years?

If it can't be explained, then it can't be shared.

Whether one can or cannot do something is no longer important.

After glancing at the documentary a few more times, Yang Jianguo turned it off and went to the stove to help serve the food.

After dinner, I followed Yingzi out the door.

We parted ways at the alley entrance and rode towards the steel rolling mill.

Yang Jianguo was still thinking about the camera on the way.

After thinking it over, there was nowhere else to go but the factory.

But why would the factory award him a camera? Just this one camera? That doesn't make sense!

After entering the factory gate, Yang Jianguo parked his car and walked towards the workshop.

As I passed the administration building, someone called out to me.

"Master Yang, the factory manager is looking for you."

"coming."

After replying, Yang Jianguo went to the factory director's office with practiced ease. "Old Yang, you wanted to see me?"

Upon entering, he noticed a rectangular wooden box on the table.

"How dare you call out like that? Someone heard you." Factory Director Yang strode forward, craned his neck to peek outside, and then closed the door.

"You little brat, you're taking me less and less seriously these days?" Old Yang snorted, his eyebrows raised in a fierce light.

Seeing that he was getting arrogant, Yang Jianguo laughed and said, "No way, I keep you in my heart and respect you very much!"

Factory Director Yang was so angry he laughed, but he still held a grudge.

You've taken me to heart, but you've stabbed me twice, haven't you?

It's really upsetting, but thank you so much.

Stop arguing with him and Director Yang tilted his head and said to the wooden box on the table, "Open it and take a look."
