2: Widow Qin's Thoughts
The kind of courtyard house where He Yuzhu lived could be found all over the streets in Yanjing City in this era.
The conditions of his courtyard house are quite good. It was once lived by a certain prince, and the space is quite large.
But now, it is all distributed to the poor people. This courtyard is divided into front courtyard, middle courtyard and inner courtyard. Each courtyard has an uncle in charge. According to seniority and power, it is divided into first uncle, second uncle and third uncle.
There are more than 20 families living in the three courtyards, with a population of more than 100, most of whom work in the surrounding factories, and the majority of them are steel mills.
According to later generations, this should be more like a family courtyard. Most of the people in this courtyard were working class people with proper urban household registration. In this era, they were considered to be the upper-middle class.
The first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, is an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill. He is a very old man, with a salary of ninety-nine and a half. In addition, he has no sons, so he is an impoverished family. This is a real big dog. Therefore, the first uncle is targeted by Qin Huairu.
It’s not surprising that by relying on tears and pretending to be pitiful, I often received alms from the elders!
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, is a seventh-level fitter in the steel mill. He has the third son in the family. The eldest got married and moved out. The second and third sons still live together. However, the second uncle has a bad temper and is an official fan. He is uneducated and likes to talk about policies.
The family also practiced education with sticks and slaps, so Widow Qin naturally looked down upon such people.
The third uncle, Yan Shuzhai, is a teacher at a nearby primary school. He is a bit educated, but he is extremely stingy. His characteristic is that he loves to scheme. He not only likes to scheme against others, but also likes to scheme against his own family. He even wants to take in his own children when they live at home.
The rent is like that. There are three sons and one daughter in the family. The children also follow the same example. They are also scheming. When they grow up, they also start to scheming against their own parents.
In addition to these three uncles, He Yuzhu also has lifelong enemies, which can also be called life-and-death enemies!
This man's name is Xu Damao, he is a film projectionist at the Steel Factory, a fat guy. Xu Damao grew up with He Yuzhu. Both of them love to fight. He Yuzhu relies on his ability to fight, and he also bullies Xu Damao. Therefore, Xu Damao hates the most in his life.
This person is He Yuzhu, who repeatedly messed up the girl He Yuzhu fell in love with.
Xu Damao's character is the kind of double-dealing master. He bows to the enemy openly and threatens secretly. He is indispensable for scheming. Once he gains power, he will kill him. After gaining power, he almost ruined his ex-wife's family.
The kind of person who has a little bit of humanity, this kind of person is called Lao Yinbi for short.
As for the deaf old lady He Yuzhu brought the leftovers to, she is the ancestor of this hospital. She is an old lady in her eighties. The old lady goes straight and scolds anyone she wants. But she is very fond of He Yuzhu's cheap grandson.
He Aihu is also the treasure of this courtyard. If there are unruly women who cause mischief, the old lady's intervention is more effective than anyone else.
As for the other people in the courtyard, they are all passers-by A, B, B, and D for the time being. Although they have roles, they are not many. Besides, He Yuzhu will no longer live with the same character as the male protagonist in the past.
Although I don’t know how long this dream will last, looking at this dream that is becoming more and more real, I estimate that the time will not be too short, and it may last He Yuzhu’s lifetime.
In this life, he will not be played around by the widow Qin Huairu like in the original work. With such a good condition, if he doesn't find a yellow girl, but a shabby shoe, isn't it okay to cause trouble?
But he quite agrees with the male protagonist's way of doing things. He eats and waits until death, doesn't care about politics and fights, and lives his own small life down-to-earth. In the 1960s, although life was hard, for a skilled man like He Yuzhu,
As a chef, he lives a more relaxed life than most people.
What's more, his family background is innocent and he is a poor peasant for three generations. This bright red identity is his best protective color.
Humming a little tune, He Yuzhu relied on his memory and walked home. Halfway there, he encountered a few white-eyed wolves hiding in a culvert, stealing Xu Damao's chicken.
This time, He Yuzhu ignored the few white-eyed wolves and walked toward the courtyard while humming a ditty.
He Yuzhu lives in the middle courtyard. His house has two rooms, one for him and one for his sister. The area is quite small, which is much better than other houses in the yard.
When He Yueyue married outside, he was considered the owner of two houses. He had a house, money, and a city registered residence. With these conditions, he was almost thirty years old and still hadn't found a wife. Only this fool couldn't find the real reason.
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the yard, he saw Widow Qin doing laundry.
In this kind of yard, toilets, laundry, etc. are basically all shared, and no one has any secrets.
Seeing Widow Qin, He Yuzhu took a second look. Although this woman is the mother of three children, her feminine scent cannot be blocked by her colorful clothes.
Great, seeing He Yuzhu, a thousand-year-old bachelor, became very hot.
Qin Huairu, who was doing laundry, quickly noticed He Yuzhu's stay. She fiddled with her hair and smiled brightly when she saw the lunch box in He Yuzhu's hand.
"Silly Zhu, what's in the lunch box? Let me take a look!"
As I stepped forward, I wanted to catch the sheep.
This girl is used to it. In the past few years, He Yuzhu always came back with a lunch box like this, but today she obviously miscalculated.
He Yuzhu quickly stepped back and replied repeatedly.
"Sister Qin, it's not your fault today. The deaf old lady has been nagging me for several days, saying that I didn't cook for her. Today I specially brought something lighter for her to keep for the elderly!"
Qin Huairu fiddled with her hair with some disappointment. The grievance in the corner of her eyes suddenly appeared. She looked at He Yuzhu with red eyes and felt like a pitiful green tea bitch.
If it were in the past, when He Yuzhu looked like this, he would have wanted to take out his heart and liver to feed her three white-eyed wolves, but the He Yuzhu of today is not the He Yuzhu of the past.
He pretended not to see it, shook the lunch box in his hand and said.
"It's getting late, so I'll go over first! Sister Qin, wash slowly!"
Qin Huairu wanted to say something, but saw He Yuzhu running away quickly.
Qin Huairu always felt that there was something different about He Yuzhu today, but she couldn't tell what was different. She had no choice but to go back to wash the clothes, but the washing process was a little slower, obviously she was worried.
He Yuzhu didn't even look at Widow Qin. After all, they were all from the same compound, and they had to live together for decades. There was no need to go too far all at once.
If you look at Qin Huairu's perspective, the monthly salary is just enough for a family of five to eat and drink. It is still the most resistant to coarse grains. The children in the family are getting older and bigger, their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they have to go to school. Sooner or later,
There's no way to get through it.
But life has to go on, and I don’t want to betray my appearance, but with my condition, it’s not that easy to bring up a family and find someone with good conditions, so I can only rely on ambiguity and pity to win the sympathy of men.
It's completely understandable.
Of course, Qin Huairu didn't want to let go of He Yuzhu, a golden bachelor. With such a good condition, he was still so stupid and foolish, and he couldn't catch such a big living sheep. How could he not catch him?
But starting a family with He Yuzhu is not that easy. First of all, it is difficult to get over the mother-in-law hurdle. She also has three children. If she marries him, will she still have children in the future? What if they have another child? He Yuzhu,
Do you still care so much about your three children?
Qin Huairu was entangled with various thoughts, and she had no solution, so she could only rely on ambiguity to keep dragging on with He Yuzhu.
It has been delayed for so many years. It shouldn't be difficult to delay it for another ten or twenty years, right?
