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 after three years of disaster, every household was short of food and clothing.
The Jia family has a new addition, and one person's salary needs 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, but I'm afraid it was 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, although not rich with food stamps, have saved a lot of money.
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, Zhu Zhu, how do you think the Jia family will live in the future?"
Lou Xiao'e, who is more than six months pregnant, is a bit 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 hold on 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 behind closed doors.
There has been a famine for more than a year. Except for the father, his wife, and the old lady, no one else knows how rich the life of the He family is.
Out of February.
In March, there was a spring rain in Sijiucheng.
Spring rain is as precious as oil.
Farmers are busy cultivating intensively, hoping for 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 already 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 Xiao'e to Lou's house 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 to the elder, hoping that the elder would help him.
The old man lost his mind when he was seduced by the fair and fair Jia Zhang's eyes.
He even helped with suggestions, implying that He Yuzhu was at home alone and must be rich with food and other things.
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 raining, and she cried for a while.
He Yuzhu looked at the little Sophora japonica eating rice, and felt distracted for a while.
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, the elder was scolded by the aunt.
In times of disaster, who has enough food to lend to others?
There may still be people who dare to borrow money.
But there is absolutely no one who 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 return 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 did not 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.
Without Jia Dongxu in charge, Jia Zhang's ability to curse directly shocked the entire courtyard.
He Yuyu had been practicing martial arts for several years, and he was usually very active, but because of the scolding attitude of 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 Yuyu 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 look after.
And He Yuzhu comes back every day at noon. Firstly, he cooks for the old lady, and secondly, he often shows up to prevent the unsighted guy from making plans for his own house.
In addition to the courtyard house, He Yuzhu also has three small courtyards, all of which are vacant.
Because the three small courtyards are independent houses, they have all been contacted by the local street office, so they are not worried about being occupied by others.
However, the population in this courtyard is complex. If no one from the He family appears often, there is really 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 still hadn’t married a wife.
Liu Guangtian, the second eldest brother, and Liu Guangfu, the third eldest brother, are both 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. Even finding a job will be a problem.
If they want to find a wife, the Liu family needs three houses.
The third uncle, Yan Fugui, has three sons and one daughter.
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. The He family has two vacant houses. No one lives in them. Others are looking at them with envy, and they might 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 is still so slim.
Not to mention being angry, 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, which makes her whole body smell 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. 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 would find a folk remedy, and tomorrow he would find a folk remedy.
The couple took more and more medicine, 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 was tricked by Xu Damao into a few gangsters. They deceived He Yuzhu and said some 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.
Think back to the "passers-by" you asked when you were getting married. They all came to help Xu Damao.
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 and cried bitterly, hoping to get a divorce 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 remembered that 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 painful.
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 Lou's house. Yu Li didn't have to worry about meeting He Yuzhu and his wife, so she felt much more relaxed.
April passed, and at the beginning of May, the weather was 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.
"Let's walk around again. The doctor said, walk around more so that you won't suffer during delivery."
He Yuzhu persuaded her in a gentle voice, saying that his wife was prone to obesity and had eaten a lot of good food during her pregnancy. She originally weighed 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.
