Chapter 123 School of Mechanical Engineering(1/2)
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Zhou Wenzhong was in an extremely good mood. The two bottles of wine in his hands were his treasures for improving his health.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no passers-by on the street, I put everything in the space in an instant, walked home with my legs open, and held the remaining 20 cents in my hand, some of which still tasted good.
"Too poor! Too poor! We need to get rich!"
On the road in the dark, the lighted areas are puddles, the purple areas are soil, and the black areas are roads. This is the basic knowledge for everyone living in this era.
At 35 minutes, Zhou Wenzhong's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, his hand sank, and a package of medicine appeared in his hand.
Before he had taken two steps, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
"Is it Wenzhong? Why are you back now? Didn't the Erliang Station finish work long ago?"
Zhou Wenzhong turned around and looked at the person coming.
"Brother Dongxu hasn't rested yet."
Jia Dongxu asked in a concerned tone: "It's only around 7 o'clock, and I went to bed soon. I heard that you went to do odd jobs at the grain station today, can you still handle it? I have a bottle of medicinal wine at home that can relax muscles and activate muscles. If you are there,
Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or are you stretching your muscles and bones? Remember to tell me. Don't hide it, we all live in the same yard, don't be embarrassed, you can't show your face."
Zhou Wenzhong traveled through time for two days, and he never expected that the first person to say heart-warming words to him would be Jia Dongxu!
"Hey, thank you, Brother Ha Dongxu. I'll come back to you if needed."
Jia Dongxu nodded and patted Zhou Wenzhong on the shoulder.
"Don't always be stubborn with your parents, just to make your father angry. If you have something you can't figure out, talk to your brother later."
"Hey, thank you, Brother Dongxu."
"We brothers don't need this. Don't say thank you all the time. If you need something, just say it."
"Brother Dongxu, there is something really happening right in front of me."
"you say."
"Whose house is the medicine pot in our yard?"
Jia Dongxu looked Zhou Wenzhong up and down and asked in a concerned tone: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Wenzhong raised the medicine bag in his hand as a signal, letting Jia Dongxu take a look.
"I had a severe stomachache. After work, I went to the drugstore. After checking it, the doctor said it was nothing serious. He gave me some medicine and asked me to go home and cook it and drink it."
"The medicine pot is at Aunt Zheng's house in the back room. They probably haven't rested yet. When I went out the door just now, I saw the lights on in their room."
"Okay, I'll get the medicine pot first. Thank you, Brother Dongxu."
"Then I'll go back to the house first. If you have anything to do, call me again. I've been out for so long, and if I keep nagging you, it's time for your sister-in-law to nag me again."
"Eh."
Watching Jia Dongxu leave, Zhou Wenzhong was a little confused. Is this the real Jia Dongxu? It was a little different from what I imagined.
Shaking the hair in front of his forehead, he changed his mood, walked to the westmost door of the reverse room, and stopped.
Aunt Zheng in my memory is an old woman in her 50s. Her legs are sick and she is paralyzed and bedridden all year round. The person responsible for taking care of her is her eldest son, named Zheng Liugen. He is in his 30s and works in an agricultural machinery factory in the suburbs.
I go to work and go home once a week. On weekdays, the tasks in the factory are relatively heavy.
Aunt Zheng's daily life is taken care of by Zheng Liugen's daughter-in-law. The Zheng family's life is pretty good. They have two children, a son and a daughter. The family has an urban household registration and eats commercial food.
The name Zheng Liugen is really good! For example, Zhou Deming spent 2 big meat buns to find someone to get the names of the three brothers and sisters of Zhou Wenzhong.
The Zheng family is much better than Jia Dongxu's family! Thanks to the blessings of the early liberation period, the Jia Zhang family was granted urban household registration. The grain ration is 27 jins, which may now be changed to 22 jins. As long as there is no job, the ration will be the same every year. According to
National conditions go.
Although Jia Zhang has a city registered permanent residence, her status cannot even be considered as an urban poor. The standards for urban poor are: people with little power, small jobs, rickshaw pullers, and no house. Fortunately, Lao Jia can take care of her.
!He’s a worker!
Qin Huairu's luck was not very good. After marrying into a courtyard house in 1951, she looked forward to June 1953 with great joy, thinking that after the first census, she would be designated as a city like Jia and Zhang.
As you can imagine, the result of the household registration was shattered. And because the newborn's household registration follows the mother's, Banggan and Xiaodang both have rural Changping household registrations, even Sophora japonica who was born a few years later is the same.
Unless Qin Huairu takes over Jia Dongxu's class, and after completing the apprenticeship period and becoming a formal employee, the household registration will be transferred to the city. At the same time, the household registration of the three children will also change accordingly. In fact, after the death of his son, Jia Zhang
, the pillar of the family has collapsed. She can only act unreasonable and messy. This is a character design.
Otherwise, the Jia Zhang family will not be able to support Qin Huairu, nor can they protect the Jia family. It is enough for the Jia family to have Qin Huairu who is good at crying. In addition, Jia Zhang family's unreasonable character, and at the same time, the two of them are burdened with each other.
The golden signboard of “orphans and widowed mothers” is definitely enough in this era!
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenzhong slapped himself hard in the face.
"Snapped……"
"I don't have a job or a house, so why should I sympathize with others? Others should sympathize with me! Damn it!"
………………
Although Aunt Zheng's family lives in a reversed house, it is located in the far west, at the bottom left of the courtyard.
Moreover, in the early days of liberation, a wall was built with bricks from the corner of the house, extending to the wall of the front yard, leaving a wooden door in the middle. It has a small yard of about 20 square meters on the north side of the yard wall.
It's the Yanbu Gui family.
"Isn't this the right situation? Although there is an extra wall, isn't this the house of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li in the TV series? It's just that! Since I have taken a fancy to it, from now on, this house belongs to me!"
His mood improved instantly. Looking at the bright light of Aunt Zheng's house, Zhou Wenzhong smiled and knocked on the door.
"Dong...dong dong."
A middle-aged woman's voice came over.
"Who is it? It's coming, it's coming!"
"Sister-in-law from the Zheng family? I am Zhou Wenzhong."
"squeak……"
As the door was opened, a middle-aged woman who was relatively thin and looked even thinner than Zhou Wenzhong, a little over 1.5 meters tall, walked out of the room and was wiping her hands with an apron.
"Oh, Wen Zhong. Is there something wrong? If you want to see your brother Zheng, you have to wait until Sunday."
"Sister-in-law, how is my aunt's health?"
"It's much better, but it's still the same old problem. I've been in bed all year round and can't move, and the gas in my stomach can't be released. The doctor prescribed some medicine to make it easier to drink. Did something happen to you?"
Zhou Wenzhong stretched out his left thumb and gestured "like" to Zheng's sister-in-law.
"It must be said that you are filial, sister-in-law! The standard for finding a wife in this courtyard is based on your appearance. What a pity! I, Brother Zheng, have all the good things taken care of. It is so unreasonable!
I, Brother Zheng, am really lucky to marry you. Who on the street outside looks like you, my sister-in-law?
She takes care of her mother-in-law with all her heart and painstaking efforts, and she takes care of everything at home and outside the home. Some dirty-hearted wives wish that their mother-in-law would die soon! What about you? Listen! Good guy! I am Zheng
My aunt has been bedridden all year round, and she doesn’t even have a bed sore on her body! No one can pick on Brother Thumb after hearing this!”
Zhou Wenzhong's rainbow farts had completely confused the middle-aged woman Zheng's sister-in-law, and she waved her hands quickly.
"No, no, you should take care of your mother-in-law. You haven't said what's going on?"
Zhou Wenzhong patted his forehead, and then said: "I almost forgot about business. I went to see a doctor after work in the afternoon. I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. The doctor prescribed some medicine. Just now Brother Dongxu said about the medicine pot in the yard.
It's at your house, so I'll come and get it."
Zheng's sister-in-law raised her finger and pointed to the side and said, "What do I mean? The medicine pot is on the windowsill, take it and use it."
"Okay, thank you. It's late today, so I won't disturb Aunt Zheng. Please help me take care of it."
"Why are you so polite? Your aunt is already asleep. Wait until tomorrow and I will tell her about your coming."
"Hey, I'll go back first. It's going to be a sunny day tomorrow. I'll come in the morning and carry Aunt Zheng to your yard to bask in the sun."
"No, no, no, you..."
"Then let's make a deal! It's not a problem for Aunt Zheng to lie down in the house all the time. She should get more sun. When the time comes, you open the door to the yard, and all the residents in our yard will come to your house to follow her.
Chatting with Aunt Zheng will make time pass faster. Not only can it soothe Aunt Zheng's mood, but with so many people watching her, you can also go out and do some activities. Do you think this is true? "
Seeing that Zheng's sister-in-law had already heard it in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, my brother Zheng is usually nice to me and takes good care of me. I used to have little strength, but today I tried it at the grain station. I have strength in my arms, and I have nothing to do after work at 5 o'clock, so I came back directly.
. When the time comes, we can carry Aunt Zheng back to the house. Nothing will be done. Besides, once Aunt Zheng is in a good mood, all her illnesses will be gone! Do you think this is true? "
"this……"
Zhou Wenzhong pointed to the big chair in the yard and said: "Forget this and that, there happens to be a big chair here. Tomorrow I will carry Aunt Zheng here to bask in the sun. Let's just say that. I will come at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You still have more
Please prepare some thicker clothes for Aunt Zheng. You can also take advantage of tomorrow’s sun to bask in Aunt Zheng’s mattress.”
"Then... let's just say this. When Brother Zheng comes back, I will ask him to thank you properly."
"Hey, we live in the same courtyard, no need to thank you. If you have anything to say, please tell me. Come on, you are busy."
"become."
Zhou Wenzhong picked up the medicine pot on the window sill, nodded slightly to Zheng's sister-in-law, then turned and walked home.
After Zheng's sister-in-law returned to the house, she heard her mother-in-law's inquiry.
"Who's coming?"
