Yes, it's a key.
He Yuyu took it for granted that this was the key to the house in the courtyard.
"Didn't I say it? I won't go back to live there."
Lin Yue said: "This is not the key to the house in the courtyard, but to the house on the south side of Chaoyangmen Street."
He Yuyu was puzzled: "Why do you have the key to the house over there?"
Lin Yue thought for a while. If he said that the house was his own, He Yuyu might feel uncomfortable: "The house is not mine, it belongs to Lou Xiao'e's family."
"Lou Xiao'e?"
"Yes." Lin Yue said: "When Lou Xiao'e knew that Xu Damao was going to be harmful to her, she ran away with her parents in advance. Some things were left with me, including several land deeds. Later, her house was raided It was expropriated. The situation has improved in the past two years. I took the land deed to the relevant departments to unblock it. Not to mention, the people in charge of this matter were very reasonable and returned the keys to me. They also helped to handle the ownership of the house. Warrant. I think... Anyway, the Lou family doesn’t know when they will come back. It’s more likely to cause problems if the house is empty. Why don’t you and Miaomiao live there? It would be better for everyone. If the Lou family comes back one day, then return the house. give them."
He Yuyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this sentence, Lou's house?
She knew the conditions of the Lou family very well. Even though Lou Xiao'e was married to Xu Damao and lived in the two shabby houses in the west wing of the backyard of the courtyard, the house of Lou's parents and Lou's mother was not the configuration of an ordinary family.
"Is this...appropriate?"
Lin Yue said: "If there is anything inappropriate, just treat her as a housekeeper."
He Yuyu said: "I mean, isn't it too eye-catching for me and Miaomiao to live in such a big house?"
"Don't worry." Lin Yue said: "The situation will get better and better in the future. There is no need to worry too much."
"Oh well."
He Yuyu no longer insisted, or to be polite. Who doesn’t want to live a better life? The Lou family's big house is ten times better than this small shabby house. Since we are staying there, it would be a lie to say that we don't want to go.
Seeing that she agreed, Lin Yue had a smile on his face, but the smile came and went quickly because He Yuyu suddenly asked him a question.
"Is it possible that between you and Lou Xiao'e..."
She didn't say everything, but her eyes clearly expressed her thoughts.
"Am I that kind of person?"
"I heard that you helped Lou Xiao'e beat up Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong at the general meeting of the hospital."
"That's when you see injustice on the road and draw your sword to help."
"I'm afraid you didn't think too much about it, she is interesting." She said this with her head lowered, so it was not a tease, or a pun, but a sentiment.
What Lin Yue could say was inappropriate.
…
Three days later, he found a car and helped He Yuyu move his things to Lou's house to settle down their lives.
Another year has passed, the ice on the river is blooming, the peach blossoms are scattered, the lotuses are showing their sharp corners, and summer begins in a blink of an eye.
Bangge no longer wanders around and has a serious job - working as an apprentice in a state-owned photo studio. The job was actually introduced by a stubborn boss. Although the salary during the apprenticeship was not high, only a dozen yuan, But the work is not tiring, and the nine-to-five job is very leisurely. Regardless of whether the upward path is wide or narrow, at least I can have enough food and clothing in the future.
Qin Huairu also discovered a situation: he seemed to be in love.
It's better to have a girlfriend to take care of him than to hang around outside all day long. But from another perspective, Qin Huairu is not happy, because Bangge's girlfriend is indeed beautiful, but her money is not ordinary. Be quick.
But...what can be done? Banggeng likes it, but the relationship can't get better, and the matter of him having a girlfriend may have worsened. The only thing she can do is to sigh in front of Silly Zhu, complain about not having enough money, create pressure for him, and find ways to earn more. money.
One year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the winter of 1980, Ran Qiuye's father was diagnosed with a serious chronic disease. Domestic hospitals were limited and could not cure it, and the cold winter in the north was not suitable for recuperating.
Lin Lin was 13 years old this year and was about to graduate from junior high school. Lin Yue suggested finding a way to send Ran's father to HK for recuperation. Ran's mother, Ran Qiuye and Lin Lin went there together. One of them would take care of Ran's father's life, and the other would focus on the child. academically.
Ran Qiuye refused. At first she was worried that he would be alone in the BJ, and she said she wanted to go together. Secondly, going abroad in this era is not an easy task. Although the social and international situation is getting better and better, it is still very difficult to apply for a passport, and living outside requires a large amount of money. The savings of the Ran family are obviously not enough to travel abroad. Make a home outside.
Lin Yue did not force it until a year later when Ran's father's condition worsened. He told Ran Qiuye that he had contacted Lou Xiao'e. Because he was the savior of her family, he happily agreed to provide medical help for Ran's father.
In the end, Ran Qiuye agreed to go to HK not only to treat his father's illness, but also to provide his daughter with better educational resources.
In the winter of the same year, Lin Yue sent Ran's family and his daughter to Hong Kong, while he stayed in BJ alone.
He spent the Spring Festival that year at the Lou family's old house.
In May 1981, Bang Gang and You Fengxia got married, and she moved into the main house in the middle courtyard.
In June, Lin Yue began to appear frequently in the courtyard. The third aunt asked him why he didn't go to HK with the Ran family. His answer was that he wanted to make money here and he would go there. Who would send them money to spend.
The Yan family didn't think much about it, because the answer was logical. After all, Lin Yue was the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, and his salary had been rising steadily in recent years.
Of course they didn't know that this was Lin Yue's excuse to cover up. When it came to making money, he made more in HK than in the mainland.
In Lin Yue's view, there is a world outside the courtyard, and the courtyard and the people in it constitute another world. The outside world is one way of life, and the world in the courtyard is another way of life. , even after spending more than ten years in this world, his thoughts have not changed, that is, for the people in the courtyard, there is no way to deal with it too much, especially for the Qin family... let them live peacefully for four or five years. year, it’s time to make the next step.
Regarding Lin Yue's return, some people are happy and some are worried, but most of them are worried that he will make some trouble again...or that others will make trouble for him. After all, there are lessons learned from Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Ma's mistakes. Set.
However, to everyone's surprise, 1982 passed safely. If there was anything worth mentioning, it was that the relationship between You Fengxia and her mother-in-law Qin Huairu was not very good, and the conflict broke out over the birth of a child. They got married in May 1981, but there was still no news in May 1982. Qin Huairu mentioned it while eating. You Fengxia got angry and pointed at her and said, "You and Silly Zhu are also getting married." It's been several years, but there's still no movement in my stomach?
Well, now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are having a falling out. No one talks to the other, and the stick figure is caught in the middle.
Jia Zhang does the work.
Small as a job.
Sophora japonica does the work.
Qin Huairu even invited the second aunt and the third aunt to make peace, but in the end, You Fengxia was still lukewarm towards her.
In this way, the time came to 1983.
One day in July, Banggan went home early and bought roast chicken and pork head meat from the grocery store. Qin Huairu asked him why he was so happy. His answer was that he accompanied his wife to the hospital for a check-up in the morning. The doctor told him that You Fengxia was pregnant. .
The only son of the Jia family has a child.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was so happy that she wandered around the yard, eager to tell everyone that she had a great-grandson.
You must know that she has been in pain since she was a child. For this little guy who has not yet been born, she naturally loves the whole house and feels very distressed.
For the sake of her children, Qin Huairu took the initiative to apologize to You Fengxia, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eased.
Where is Silly Pillar?
Silly Zhu was very happy because he had a grandson and he worked harder for others. The chickens, ducks and fish brought back from the restaurant were all brought to Banggeng House. This grandpa made it, and everyone in the courtyard was "" boast".
As for Lin Yue, he acted more and more low-key. Liu Guangtian was an employee of the steel rolling mill and heard some gossip. In his words, the people above gave Lin Yue a three-year review period. If he made no mistakes during these three years, he would be promoted to take over. Director Kong's class, working as the director of a steel rolling mill.
Three years later, he was only forty years old. He was a forty-year-old young director of a large factory with thousands of people. He was not even the director of the branch factory, but was directly promoted? Even his senior He Fumin has to be his deputy. This speed of promotion... can be said to be a meteoric rise.
Speaking of this matter, Yu Haitang couldn't suppress his excitement. He told one person that there was someone on Lin Yue's side, and another person said that his relationship was very tough. After all, she is his old lover. If Lin Yue becomes the factory director, he can at least give her a house.
According to the past, a stubborn ass like Sha Zhu would definitely make sarcastic remarks, but the Qin family was all around Bang Gang and You Fengxia and had no time to talk to Lin Yue. Yi Zhonghai secretly hated his teeth but did not dare to do anything. He did it because Qin Huairu warned him and because of Auntie's past experience.
However, this balance was broken two months later.
