Chapter 194

"Oh, this can't work. We have to settle things quickly. Wei Dong, Zhuzi has to rely on you!"

"I know, aren't we planning to go to the steel rolling mill to take a leave first, and then buy some things to propose marriage to someone else? Han Zhizhi is a young girl, so we must have the proper etiquette."

"Yes, yes, that's what you should do. Old lady, I have difficulty moving. Here are ten dollars. You can take it first."

Faced with the Big Black Ten handed over by the deaf old lady, Li Weidong certainly would not refuse.

He quickly put the money into his pocket, deliberately pondered for a moment, and said: "One more thing, I think you also know what Yi Zhonghai thinks about He Yuzhu.

I guess if Yi Zhonghai knew about this, he would definitely become interested.

After all, Han Zhizhi is a strong person, and when she wants to marry Zhu Zhu, she definitely doesn’t want to find two parents-in-law."

When the deaf old lady heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

She personally chose to marry Han Zhizhi, and she must not let anyone interfere with it, not anyone else!

"You don't need to worry about this. I will take care of Yi Zhonghai's side. You just need to complete the marriage proposal and leave the rest to me."

"Okay!"

When Li Weidong saw the deaf old lady's appearance, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

Although he did think about He Yuzhu, he did not mean to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai.

You can't always be the one making the moves, Yi Zhonghai, and I'll just have to suffer, right?

In the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai was the eldest man and had a transcendent status. The only person he was afraid of was the deaf old lady.

After Li Weidong left, the deaf old lady immediately walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house on crutches.

It's not even work time yet, so Yi Zhonghai must be at home.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai's door was open.

As soon as the deaf old lady entered the house, she saw Yi Zhonghai who was having breakfast.

And Auntie was peeling eggs for Yi Zhonghai.

Everything in the house is very simple.

A dilapidated wooden table, a large standing cabinet with mottled vermilion paint, and a chair with a broken leg screwed with iron wire.

There is not even a radio, and the only household appliance is a flashlight.

Compared with the new furniture in Jia's house, it's like heaven or earth.

It’s hard to believe that this is the home of an eighth-level fitter.

In the entire courtyard, no, I should say in the entire steel rolling mill, you can count the number of people with higher wages than Yi Zhonghai on one hand.

Yi Zhonghai has no children, so he still has a pension even when he is old.

Only he himself knows where all the money he saved has gone.

Seeing the deaf old lady coming, Yi Zhonghai immediately stood up to greet her.],

According to the arrangements of the neighborhood committee, the old lady's life in the courtyard was taken care of by Yi Zhonghai.

As a reward, Yi Zhonghai can take away half of the deaf old lady's subsistence allowance.

....

[In the original work, the deaf old lady is called a five-guarantee household, which is questionable.

In 1956, the concept of five-guaranteed households appeared for the first time in the "Quantong Agricultural Development Program from 1956 to 1967 (Grass Eucalyptus)".

Article 30 of the Outline stipulates: "To implement the 'Five Guarantees', agricultural cooperatives should make unified plans for widowed and lonely members who lack labor in the cooperative and have no support for their livelihood, and designate production teams or production groups to make appropriate arrangements for production so that they can

Be able to participate in work that they are capable of; provide appropriate care in life, ensure food, clothing, combustion (fuel), education (children and teenagers), and burial care, so that their life, health, death, and burial are all under control.

Depend on.

Obviously, the ‘Five Guarantees’ are implemented within agricultural cooperatives.

And the deaf old lady is from Beijing, how can she be a five-guarantee household?

Therefore, there must be another reason why the deaf old lady was taken care of by the street office and became the ancestor of the courtyard.



....

Taking care of the deaf old lady was a task assigned by the street office. Even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to refuse, he couldn't.

Besides, he also had other things on his mind.

The deaf old lady has a rich family, and he will be able to share part of it when she dies.

"Hey, the old lady is here? Have you eaten?"

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai and shook her head secretly.

She moved into this compound a few years before Yi Zhonghai and has been a neighbor for decades. How could she not know what kind of person Yi Zhonghai is?

You want to say that he is a treacherous and evil person, but that is not the case.

In the early years, Yi Zhonghai was really an upright and enthusiastic person.

But ever since his eldest mother was found to be infertile, he has fallen into a state of confusion, and all he can think about is finding someone to take care of her until she dies.

It was not good to target anyone, so why did he focus on the pillar?

...

The deaf old lady has long regarded He Yuzhu as her grandson.

No, He Yuzhu is actually the grandson of the deaf old lady.

....

Things have to start in the 1950s, when various places began to divide their origins.

Tan's cuisine is court cuisine, so how can it be learned by three generations of farmhands?

He Daqing must have come from a wealthy family.

It was only later that the family business was destroyed by the rebels during the war, and it fell into ruin.

Before liberation, they also sold steamed buns on the street.

In order to avoid trouble, He Daqing forged his own origin under the deception of the deaf old lady.

What he didn't know was that the determination of ingredients was postponed three years by Liberation, and bygones were bygones.

Therefore, there is no problem with the fact that three generations of He Daqing's family are working as farmers (they don't have a spare house, so they work for others).

The deaf old lady then passed Yi Zhonghai and leaked the news to He Daqing.

He said that people knew about He Daqing's forged identity.

He Daqing was greatly frightened.

Plus, he was already on good terms with the White Widow at that time.

He also has the character of "Life is truly precious, children are even more valuable, and if you are a widow, you can throw away both!"

Then he was ready to leave He Yuzhu and He Yuyu behind and run away with the White Widow.

The deaf old lady took the opportunity to come forward, gave He Daqing a sum of money, and promised to take care of He Yuzhu and He Yuyu.

The condition was, of course, that He Daqing be allowed to establish documents in accordance with the old rules.

According to this calculation, He Yuzhu has adopted the deaf old lady as his grandson.

Otherwise, why would the deaf old lady be nice to He Yuzhu alone in this courtyard?

He was still shouting like a good grandson all day long.

And He Daqing just ran to Baoding, not abroad like the Lou family.

Why haven't you come back to see He Yuzhu and He Yuyu after so many years?

I am just afraid that someone will expose me for forging my background.

....

The reason why the deaf old lady did this was because she saw through that Yi Zhonghai was an unreliable person.

She also wanted He Yuzhu to help her take care of herself in old age.

Moreover, she had never given birth to a child in her whole life. Watching He Yuzhu grow up, she had already regarded He Yuzhu as her own child.

Therefore, she will never let Yi Zhonghai ruin He Yuzhu's marriage.

....

Facing Yi Zhonghai's extended hand, the deaf old lady dodged away, paused her crutches, and said: "Lao Yi, I arranged the marriage for my Zhu Zhu, and now Wei Dong has come to help him propose marriage. You

You are an elder, you have to help manage the affairs in this courtyard."

After Yi Zhonghai heard this, he immediately frowned.

If only the deaf old lady came, he wouldn't think much about it.

But when the deaf old lady mentioned the name Li Weidong, Yi Zhonghai immediately felt that there was something wrong here.

"Old lady, why haven't I heard anything about this? Don't be deceived!"

The deaf old lady said slowly: "You don't have to worry about this. The old lady has walked on more bridges than you have walked on. I'm not Yan Laoxi, how can I be deceived so easily?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "That's true, but you should let me handle the matter of proposing marriage. They all say that they have no hair on their lips and can't do things well. What does a young man like Li Weidong know? She is Qin Huairu's cousin, right?"

?Forget it, I'd better go there myself to avoid causing any trouble again.'

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he was about to walk out, but after taking a few steps, he was stopped by the deaf old lady.

"stop!"

"Old lady, do you have anything else to do?"

"I said, I'll leave this matter to Li Weidong. I don't worry about the child, and the person Zhu Zhu wants to marry is not Qin Huairu's cousin."

Yi Zhonghai's brows suddenly furrowed even more and he asked: "If it's not Qin Huairu's cousin, who is that?"

The deaf old lady smiled indifferently and said: "You don't have to worry about it. You just need to help deal with the affairs in the courtyard. I will take care of the rest."

These words made Yi Zhonghai very unhappy, but he did not dare to confront the deaf old lady.

Just kidding, if the deaf old lady gets angry, who can bear this responsibility?

Yi Zhonghai could only respond temporarily, thinking about who He Yuzhu was going to marry.

This choice has nothing to do with other people in the courtyard.

But this is different in Yi Zhonghai.

He listed He Yuzhu as the target person to support him until his death.

If He Yuzhu marries a powerful wife, how can he proceed with his plan?

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Qin Huairu's cousin Qin Jingru is the best candidate.

This woman is silly and easy to handle.

At first, Yi Zhonghai even wanted to match He Yuzhu with Qin Huairu.

With Qin Huairu's character, He Yuzhu will definitely be eaten to death, and he will probably become a destitute like him.

When the time comes, it will be natural for He Yuzhu to provide for himself in old age.

Now it's all chaos.

After seeing the deaf old lady off, the more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more wrong he became. He turned around and said to the aunt: "Old lady, hurry up and find out what is going on with Silly Zhu's marriage. Seeing that he and Qin Jingru are about to get married, suddenly

When this happened, I thought something was wrong."

As Yi Zhonghai's pillow, Aunt Ma naturally knows what he is thinking.

And she was even more nervous than Yi Zhonghai, after all, Yi Zhonghai still had an income.

But if Yi Zhonghai dies before her, she will really be helpless.

"Okay, I'll go and find out."

As she spoke, she took off her apron and walked outside.

However, the affairs between He Yuzhu and Han Zhizhi are very secretive. If it hadn't happened last night, He Yuzhu might not have been able to make up his mind to marry Han Zhizhi.

At present, only He Yuzhu himself, Li Weidong, Yu Li, and the deaf old lady know about this. Even He Yuzhu's sister He Yuyu doesn't know because she was recently assigned to study and has not been home for several days.

The aunt asked almost all the residents in the hospital, but still didn't get any useful information.

It did attract the attention of some thoughtful people.

Just like Yan Bugui, who originally gave up on the relationship between Qin Jingru and Yan Jiecheng, but now that he heard that He Yuzhu was going to marry someone else, his thoughts suddenly became vivid.

If you have a choice, you will naturally not fall in love with Yan Jiecheng, but what if you don’t have a choice?

Yan Bugui felt that he should seize this opportunity, but in order to prevent his family's evildoer from making the same mistake again, he felt that he had to get rid of Cuihua first, lest Yan Jiecheng would not change his ways and run to find this person with the door ajar again.

On the contrary, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, after thinking about it for a while, felt that there seemed to be nothing he could do here, so he turned around and forgot about it.

Now that Xu Damao was caught, he didn't even have a following in the yard. He, the second uncle, was a bit ineffective in his work.

*******

"Xiao Han, all the gifts from the He family are here. I think you should try your best to notify your parents and ask them to come to the capital."

"Yes, Master Li, I will send a telegram to inform my parents soon and ask them to take the earliest train."

Han Zhizhi couldn't be more happy.

Last night, she also used the power of alcohol to push He Yuzhu twice in a row.

Now let her do it again, well, I guess she will do it again.

For a tough girl like her, as long as the person who catches He Yuzhu, her heart will be her sooner or later, and she doesn't care about so many things.

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered that there was one most important thing that he had not mentioned.

"By the way, Xiao Han, regarding the bride price, you can test your parents' opinions first, so that Zhu Zhu can have a basis, otherwise the reward will be less, and it will not be good to cause conflicts."

When Han Zhizhi heard this, his face suddenly became tangled. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Master Li, my family's conditions are quite average. Maybe, maybe I can only get about two thousand. I will make up some more myself. 2888 You

What do you think?"

Li Weidong frowned when he heard this. In this era, 2888 is an astronomical number.

Even if he sold He Yuzhu, he wouldn't be able to get so much money.

The bride price for Li Weidong's marriage to Yu Li was only 88 yuan, which was a relatively normal price in this era.

Just when Li Weidong was about to tell Han Zhizhi that the money was too much, he immediately discovered something was wrong.

What did Han Zhizhi say just now?

Her family can't afford much money?

She planned to give He Yuzhu a betrothal gift instead, and it was still 2,888 yuan.

Li Weidong's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Han Zhizhi.

Why hasn't he noticed that this woman in front of him is still a rich woman?!

He Yuzhu is really lucky.

Let him marry Han Zhizhi, I'm afraid he will live a good life in the future!

Thinking about it, Han Zhizhi, a girl who came from the Northeast, easily joined the steel rolling mill and got her household registration in the capital. She really couldn't do these things without any energy.

Think about Cui Dake in Ren Gang, who was even willing to step in for Liang Ladi, a widow with several children, in order to obtain a city residence!

"I have to go back and ask Zhu Zhu about this, but I think it's probably fine. It's just that you gave him a betrothal gift in return, which would be a bit unpleasant to tell."

"What's the point!" Han Zhizhi said nonchalantly: "It can't be used as a betrothal gift, just treat it as a dowry. Anyway, we can't wrong our Yuzhu!"

Good guy, are you starting to take on the role now?

Li Weidong silently gave Han Zhizhi a thumbs up and said, "Okay, I will help with other things. As long as your parents come over, the wedding can be officially held. In addition, you can also submit a marriage application to the above. Do you want to get married?"

The factory’s consent is not enough.”

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this, thanks to you for reminding me."

After coming out of Han Zhizhi's house, Li Weidong felt a little emotional.

He Yuzhu is indeed the template for the protagonist.

In the original work.

Dad ran away and was protected by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Falling in love with Lou Xiaoe, the deaf old lady sent Lou Xiaoe to his bed without spending a penny.

Later, he even acquired Lou Xiao'e's property, and the entire courtyard belonged to him.

If he hadn't been obsessed with Qin Huairu and stabbed in the back by a stick, he would have been a sure winner in life!



Even if the plot has changed, He Yuzhu actually has a rich woman rushing to marry him.

The aura of the protagonist cannot be underestimated.

Thinking about these things, I returned to the steel rolling mill without realizing it.

Seeing that it was still a little early, Li Weidong came to the kitchen and the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, he saw He Yuzhu directing his apprentices to work.

Li Weidong immediately waved to him and shouted: "Zhuzi, come here!"

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Li Weidong, and immediately ran over.

"What's wrong, Wei Dong?"

Li Weidong came close to He Yuzhu's ear and said in a very low voice: "The marriage proposal has been settled, and I have good news. Do you know how much dowry Han Zhizhi has prepared?"

He Yuzhu curled his lips and said: "What kind of dowry can I get? At most, I can buy a sewing machine."

Li Weidong rolled his eyes and said: "Don't look down on her, she is very rich! Let me tell you, she prepared this number!"

Li Weidong stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he asked: "Three hundred yuan?"

Li Weidong sneered and said: "It's three thousand yuan! No, to be precise, it's two thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan, Zhuzi, you have found a treasure this time!"

He Yuzhu swallowed subconsciously and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you about this?"

However, after receiving a positive answer, He Yuzhu's expression became tangled.

"Weidong, you think she gave me such a large dowry, am I too shabby?"

"You don't have to be shabby if you want. Just come up with three thousand yuan."

He Yuzhu's face turned red due to these words, and after a while he said: "I didn't."

Li Weidong spread his hands and said, "Isn't that right? You have to do this according to your ability. Betrothal gifts are about your heart. The more the better, not the more. Comparison is unacceptable!"
