In the spring of the thirteenth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Jia Dongxu is still gone.
The factory said it was an operational error.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that every household was short of food and clothing during the three-year disaster.
The Jia family has a new addition, and one person's salary is enough to support six people.
In order to earn more food for his family, Jia Dongxu not only went to work during the day, but also worked with others at night.
Only three or four hours of rest a day.
The factory said it was an operating error, probably due to fatigue.
I still remember that when Jia Dongxu first got married, he was a strong man weighing 150 pounds.
When Jia Dongxu died, he weighed only about 110 kilograms.
Jia Dongxu was exhausted.
In fact, there are many families in the courtyard who have saved a lot of money even though they are not rich with food stamps.
If Jia Dongxu asks to borrow it, he can still borrow it.
However, because Jia Zhang had various connections with several men in the courtyard when she was young, Jia Dongxu was unwilling to come to seek help.
He puts the pressure of a family of six on his shoulders.
The accumulation day by day finally crushed Jia Dongxu.
Regarding the Jia family's affairs, He Yuzhu had nothing to say.
I had expected it for a long time, but there was nothing I could do about it.
He Yuzhu and the first uncle helped arrange the funeral.
The factory gave me a pension of 200 yuan, and also gave me a place to work in the factory as a full-time worker.
Jia Zhang was unwilling to go out to work, so the place for formal workers fell to Qin Huairu.
"Hey, Zhuzi, how do you think the Jia family will live in the future?"
Lou Xiao'e, who is more than six months pregnant, is a little sentimental, lying in the man's arms with a solemn expression.
"Nine times out of ten, if your life is not what you want, just persevere and get through it."
He Yuzhu has been much more low-key recently because of Lou Xiao'e's pregnancy.
Every day we eat at home, the door is closed.
The famine lasted for more than a year. Except for the husband, his wife, and the old lady, no one knew how rich the life of the He family was.
It's February.
In March, there was a spring rain in Sijiucheng.
Spring rain is as precious as oil.
Farmers are busy cultivating intensively, hoping to have a better harvest this year.
He Yuzhu was afraid that there would be no one to take care of his daughter-in-law when he went to work, so he sent Lou Xiaoe to the Lou family to be taken care of by Lou Tan.
In fact, the aunt said that she could help.
He Yuzhu just thought for a moment before rejecting Aunt Ma's kindness.
Aunts usually help a lot, but in terms of experience in taking care of pregnant women, they are definitely not as good as Lou Tan.
Lou Tan gave birth to three sons and one daughter to Lou Zhendong.
One died in infancy.
One was killed by the Japanese.
The remaining son went to study abroad before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and then lost contact with him.
Of course, this is what the Lou family says to the outside world.
In fact, Lou Xiao'e's eldest brother is now in Xiangjiang, doing well, and is married and has children.
Lou Tan has given birth to four children, so she is naturally very experienced in taking care of pregnant women.
He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiaoe to the Lou family and followed the wishes of Lou Zhendong and his wife.
After all, the He family is small, but the Lou family is a wealthy family.
Lou Xiao'e raised her baby in the Lou family and was waiting for delivery, so the conditions were better than those of the He family.
He Yuzhu now goes to and from get off work every day.
Go home and cook a meal for my sister at noon.
In the evening, He Yuzhu would go back to the courtyard to see the old lady, and then go back to Lou's house to spend the night.
The ups and downs in the courtyard have nothing to do with the He family for the time being.
In fact, after He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiaoe back to Lou's house, he stayed in the courtyard for two more days.
During this period, Mrs. Jia Zhang took Qin Huairu and their three children to cry and complain to the elder, hoping that the elder would help him.
The old man lost his mind as soon as the fair-faced Jia Zhang was seduced by his eyes.
He even helped with suggestions, implying that He Yuzhu was alone at home and must be rich with food and other supplies.
Qin Huairu understood the first man's hint and entered He's house holding Sophora japonica, which was still sucking milk. The pear blossoms were wet with rain, and she cried for a while.
He Yuzhu looked at the little Sophora japonica eating rice, and for a while he lost his mind.
Fortunately, when Qin Huairu got down to business and wanted to borrow money and food, He Yuzhu thought of what happened to Silly Zhu in "Love in the Courtyard".
Nowadays, He Yuzhu has a wife and a child soon. How can he be willing to help the widow?
Therefore, after Qin Huairu cried for a while, He Yuzhu reacted and refused directly.
This woman is not a good person.
After He Yuzhu sent Qin Huairu away, he knew that the courtyard could no longer be lived in.
After explaining to the old lady, He Yuzhu, the next day, He Yuzhu no longer went back to the courtyard at night, but moved to Lou's house.
Because of this incident, the elder was even scolded by the aunt.
In a disaster situation, who has surplus food to lend to others?
There may still be people who dare to borrow money.
But absolutely no one dares to borrow food.
That is to say, Silly Zhu in the TV series, helped the Jia family by helping the Jia family with food and rice from the canteen, and then cheated himself for the rest of his life.
He Yuzhu did not go back to the courtyard at night.
Jia Zhang originally thought about it for a day and came up with the idea of "immortal dance", but after waiting for half a night, He Yuzhu didn't come back.
The next day, Mrs. Jia and Zhang learned about the news that He Yuzhu had moved to Lou's house. Then after the workers got off work in the evening, they blocked the door of He's house and cursed him loudly.
Without Jia Dongxu in charge, Jia Zhang's ability to scold people shocked the entire courtyard.
He Yuyu has been practicing martial arts for several years, and he is usually very active, but because of the scolding behavior of a shrew like Jia Zhang, he was so frightened that he hid in the house and did not dare to go out.
Later, the aunt went to call the old lady. The old lady took a cane and beat Ms. Jia Zhang hard, and then the matter was settled.
After this incident, the friendship between the He family and the Jia family was severed.
He Yuzhu didn't know that there was a big man involved in it.
March passed.
He Yuzhu listened to Jia Zhang's curses several times, and after discussing with He Yuzhu, he decided not to go home at night.
Even on weekends, He Yuyu would stay at Lou's house.
The two rooms of the He family in the courtyard were left to the old lady to help look after them.
And He Yuzhu comes back every day at noon. Firstly, he cooks for the old lady, and secondly, he shows up frequently to prevent the unsighted guy from making plans for his own house.
In addition to the house in the courtyard, He Yuzhu also has three sets of small courtyards, all of which are vacant.
Since those three small courtyards are independent houses, we have already contacted the local street office, so we don’t worry about them being occupied by others.
However, the population in this courtyard is complex. If no one from the He family appears often, there is no guarantee that something bad will happen.
After all, there are too many families in the yard who lack housing.
For example, the second uncle and the third uncle’s house.
The second uncle has three sons.
The eldest son Liu Guangqi is already in junior high school
After graduation, I found an apprenticeship, but because I didn’t have a house, I was almost 20 years old and I hadn’t married yet.
The second eldest brother, Liu Guangtian, and the third eldest child, Liu Guangfu, are still students. They are growing up. Their academic performance is not very good. I am afraid that they will not be able to pass the high school entrance examination. By then, they will even have problems finding jobs.
If they want to marry a wife, the Liu family needs three houses.
The third uncle, Yan Fugui, has three sons and one daughter in his family.
The eldest son Yan Jiecheng is also of marriageable age. He also does not have a house, and he does not even have a formal job. He works as a temporary worker on weekdays and has never met a partner.
The Yan family is also worried about their house.
There are so many people who are in need of housing, and the He family has two vacant houses. No one lives in them, and others are looking at them with envy, which may cause some trouble.
It is because of this consideration that He Yuzhu returns to the courtyard every day.
The departure of He Yuzhu's family will have little impact on most of the neighbors.
The Jia family felt uncomfortable because they did not benefit from He Yuzhu.
But there was a family in the backyard, and the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Damao and Yu Li have been married for almost a year, and they are watching He Yuzhu's daughter-in-law getting bigger and bigger.
And Yu Li's figure is still so slim.
Not to mention the excessive anger in his heart, Xu Damao found some folk prescriptions prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine doctors and forced Yu Li to drink traditional Chinese medicine every day.
Yu Li is not a good person either. Ever since she found out that she was cheated into marriage by Xu Damao, the couple had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.
Xu Damao's grandson was in the wrong, and every quarrel ended with him begging for mercy.
After being married for such a long time, Yu Li's stomach didn't move, so Xu Damao began to take charge of the family.
Poor Yu Li drinks Chinese medicine every day and her body smells like Chinese medicine.
Yu Li is not a good person. If Xu Damao doesn't make me feel comfortable, I won't make it easy for you either.
Ever since, Yu Li also made some folk remedies, specially for men.
Xu Damao refused to drink at first, but Yu Li yelled and cursed her. Sometimes she said bluntly, "Xu Damao, it's strange that I can get pregnant in such a short time every time."
Xu Damao was afraid that his family would be scandalized, so he had no choice but to hurt each other with Yu Li. Today you will find a folk remedy, and tomorrow he will find a folk remedy.
The couple took more and more medicines, and all the money they had saved before getting married was spent. Unfortunately, Yu Li's belly was still in good condition, with no signs of bulging.
Yu Li began to envy Lou Xiao'e at this time.
Originally, He Yuzhu was pursuing Yu Li, but it turned out that Yu Li was too naive at the time, and Xu Damao got a few gangsters to deceive him into saying bad things about He Yuzhu, and then believed them to be true.
Now that she has lived in the courtyard for several months, Yu Li has already understood who He Yuzhu is.
Recall that the "passers-by" I asked at the time all came to help Xu Damao when he was getting married.
Needless to say, it must have been arranged by Xu Damao when he met these "passers-by".
This bastard actually cheated on the marriage!
Yu Li had a quarrel with Xu Damao on the night of her wedding.
Later, Yu Li returned to her parents' home, cried bitterly, and wanted to get divorced before the wedding.
Xu Damao still swore that he would live a good life in the future.
Yu Li's parents were also afraid that their daughter would get divorced just after receiving the divorce certificate, which would bring bad reputation to the family, so they persuaded Yu Li to follow Xu Damao back home to live a happy life.
Yu Li finally felt wronged and followed Xu Damao back to the courtyard.
And every time she saw the He family living a harmonious and beautiful life, Yu Li would think of the time when she was blind and was deceived by Xu Damao.
Less than a year after their marriage, Xu Damao and Yu Li's life began to become difficult.
Yu Li was afraid of meeting He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e. Every time she met them, she felt burning pain on her face, as if she had been beaten.
He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e moved to the Lou family, so Yu Li didn't have to worry about meeting He Yuzhu and his wife, so she felt much more relaxed.
April has passed and in early May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
People started to wear single clothes.
Lou Xiao'e was about to give birth and was wearing a loose maternity skirt.
He Yuzhu took her out for some activities. Before going out, Lou Tan asked her daughter to wear a long-sleeved gown.
"Zhuzi, I'm a little tired, let's go back."
Lou Xiao'e leaned on her man's arms and let him support her. She had a big belly, and the feeling of sinking in her belly was getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes the little guy was still moving around inside.
It is really not easy for pregnant women to conceive in ten months.
"Just keep walking. The doctor said, walk around more and you won't suffer any pain during delivery."
He Yuzhu persuaded her in a gentle voice, saying that his daughter-in-law was prone to obesity and had eaten a lot of good food during her pregnancy. She used to weigh just over a hundred pounds, but now she weighs more than one hundred and two pounds.
Lou Xiao'e felt a little sleepy. Seeing that the man refused to go back, she simply hugged the man's arm and snored pretending to sleep.
After hearing this, He Yuzhu could only shake his head speechlessly: "Okay, okay, let's go home."
He Yuzhu really had nothing to do with this stupid wife.
