Siheyuan: The Newborn of Silly Pillars

Chapter 3
The home is not far away, the house is the master room of the middle courtyard of the three-entry courtyard left by He Yuzhu's father.In the past, this house was occupied by rich families. There is no way to do it. These days, the high status of the working class is the mainstream of society.

As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw Yan Bugui, the third master in the courtyard, was wiping the ramp on the steps of the door with a trowel.

Yan Bugui looked up and smiled when he saw a black shadow on the ground: "Silly Zhu is back! I'm repairing the bicycle ramp for the gate of our yard."

He Yuzhu took a look at the gate, good guy.He used a bag of the cement he asked for from the infrastructure department of the rolling mill.

"I said third master, but you and the first master have bicycles in our courtyard, and the elder one doesn't ride very much when he is old. But you carry the bike to the house every day. Why are you still repairing the driveway for our courtyard! Co-author Take my cement to repair the aisle for you, and count it as your contribution to the compound. This cement was heavy snow last week, and after the snow melted, the deaf old lady’s house leaked, so I thought about repairing it during this week’s rotation Yes. You use it now, but it won’t be enough by then, and you will have to pay for the cement.”

Yan Bugui blushed when he heard He Yuzhu explained his carelessness, and hurriedly said: "Zhuzi, this is not because the third master is greedy for your petty gain. Didn't I hear you say that I want to buy a bicycle? With the help of cement, I can quickly repair it. Ramp, wait for you to buy a car and come back. As soon as you enter the gate and push it in, it also indicates that there are no bumps in your life! With the heart of the third master, you have the nerve to ask the uncle for money!"

He Yuzhu heard that his life was full of ups and downs for the sake of making things right, and he didn't want to argue with him, so he said: "Success, third master, then I thank you, but I don't care what time it is. The sun is about to set Well, when the temperature drops, the cement mortar will be crispy when it freezes, and the materials will be useless, so you are working for nothing."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yan Bugui smiled without blushing and said, "Old Wang's house next door moved, so he threw away a bed of torn quilts and put them in the door opening. I picked up some branches on the road when I got off work today. The one in the courtyard Isn’t the broken manhole cover still there? I’ll put the manhole cover on it after a while, and light a fire on the manhole cover. When the cement dries up, I’ll cover it again with the broken quilt, and I’ll be able to drive in two days. "After speaking, he smiled triumphantly.

"Good guy, you are quite calculating. You didn't pay a penny after repairing the entire ramp."

"Come on! Third Master, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go home and cook for my sister. She is coming back today. You are busy, so don't freeze at night."

After finishing speaking, we will go inside.

"Zhuzi, why didn't you bring a lunch box today? I just watched Qin Huairu waiting for someone in the middle courtyard."

"Third Master, I finished my lunch today, and sneaked out of the factory after the factory leaders finished their treats without waiting any longer. I went to the black market to find a bicycle ticket so that I could buy a bicycle. Walking without any ups and downs. So I didn’t take anything, besides, you can’t see me going home to get lunch boxes, right? "

Yan Bugui pondered for a while and said: "I haven't seen you taking things a few times recently. Zhuzi, my uncle told you that you are now sober. It's hard to say that you can't see the sky and give things to other widows. I heard that there are many people in the courtyard saying that you have something to do with Qin Huairu. You are doing the right thing. The emergency is not the poor. When the wind in the courtyard passes, the third master will introduce you to someone. "

"Okay, then I thank you, Third Master"

Seeing that Yan Bugui still had something to say, He Yuzhu understood what he was going to say, and walked directly into the courtyard without giving him a chance.

Yan Bugui was left with a look of regret.

After entering the middle courtyard, I said hello to the people who went out, and then I saw Qin Huairu standing by the pool in the middle courtyard, looking forward to it.Seeing He Yuzhu coming in, he immediately adjusted his face and said with a smile:

"Silly Zhu, why didn't you bring a lunch box today? The three little ones in the family are waiting for Uncle He to bring the meat. You haven't brought back the meat for several months, and the children have lost weight."

He Yuzhu saw her rushing towards him, and after hearing what she said, he said: "Sister Qin, didn't I tell you that the non-staple food index in the factory has decreased recently, and the materials in the canteen have made the director look good. What do you do every day? I have counted all the dishes. This month’s Wowotou for you is left over from the night shift. I really can’t get you any food. Two days ago, Deputy Factory Manager Li criticized me for not having enough food recently!”

After hearing this, the little widow immediately lowered her head, grabbed the hem of the skirt with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Zhuzi, sister, it hurts to see the children's little faces almost sunken, sister is really There is no other way. You see, I have such a small salary this month, and I have to buy medicine for my mother-in-law. By the end of the month, the family will not be able to open the pot, so you can help my sister. My sister knows that you must have a solution. The materials in the cafeteria are indeed There are a few, but you have the final say on how much goes on the plate."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu pitifully with teary eyes.

"Sister Qin, what I said to you just now is all in vain. Didn't I say that, Deputy Director Li criticized me for having too little food, so how can I keep food for you? Besides, Liu Lan You’re staring at my cooked dishes! I’ll send you some meat and I’ll be punished. There’s no more steamed buns at that time, so what do you think!”

Seeing that He Yuzhu's tone became more and more serious, Qin Huairu couldn't hide her tears anymore, and shed them in a rush.With tears in his voice, he said, "That's all right. The factory paid wages today. After buying rice, noodles and oil, my mother-in-law has to go to buy a lot of medicine. The money will be used up. Tomorrow, it's time to pay the school fees. My hands The money is not enough, can you lend my sister 10 yuan. My sister has paid the children’s school fees. I will buy some meat for the children. The children are growing up, so they must not lack nutrition.”

He Yuzhu thought: "You Widow Qin talked so much, you bought this and that, but you didn't talk about how much it cost, and you calculated my salary when you didn't ask for meat."

He said: "Sister Qin, I really can't borrow you. I have saved four months' wages and I want to buy a bicycle so that I can improve my face and find a wife. The three masters have promised me that I will buy a bicycle. Introduce someone to me. You can't stop your younger brother's major events in life."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and she put back her tears and said, "Zhuzi, you are really looking for a wife. Didn't my sister tell you last time? My natal cousin wants to introduce you, my natal cousin My cousin is also extremely beautiful in the village, she can live a good life, and her hands are hardworking. You can’t find a girl from the city. My sister usually cleans up your house. Look, you can find a girl from the city in case you are spoiled. The house is not pretty."

He Yuzhu immediately hung up after hearing what she said.

"Sister Qin, I call you Sister Sheng, why can't I, He Yuzhu, find a girl from the city. The third master hasn't brought me someone yet, so I won't find a date just because of your alarmist talk?"

"Zhuzi, that's not what my sister meant. My sister didn't stop you from looking for a partner. Didn't my sister want you to see my cousin first so that you could have a choice. You misunderstood what my sister meant."

"Okay, it's been a year since you told me to introduce this to me, and I haven't seen anyone. Let's talk about when you come over. I'll go home and cook first, and the rain will come back today. She will be hungry when she gets home later."

Before Qin Huairu answered, he took out the key in his pocket to open the door, and closed the door with his backhand.

Here, Qin Huairu saw that He Yuzhu was impatient to talk to him, and left. He stood there pondering for a while, and then went back to his room.

All of this was seen by Mrs. Jia Zhang who was lying on the window watching.
