Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 18 Is Qin Huairu Poor?

During the lunch break, Qin Huairu came to the cafeteria.

"How did you come?"

Qin Huairu said with some embarrassment: "Can you help me with a few catties of stick noodles? I really can't go on!"

"No, isn't that considered stealing?"

He Yuzhu continued: "Your family is too good to eat, and there is no food at home?"

"Five people, five mouths, that ration can last for a few days!"

Thinking about the food intake of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, what Qin Huairu said is right, they can't eat for a few days.

Seeing that He Yuzhu should not respond, Qin Huairu thought that the food could still cover two meals, but Banggen's tuition fees could not be delayed, and said again: "Banggen's school has urged you to pay the tuition fees several times, if you don't pay the sticks, you will be expelled .”

"Silly Zhu, you can borrow a few dollars from my sister first, is that okay?"

He Yuzhu put down the tea in his hand, and said mockingly: "Sister, why didn't you ask Xu Damao to borrow it? At noon, I saw you two hugging and kissing each other."

Qin Huairu shed tears of grievance, and choked up: "You just look at your sister like this, if you can't get rid of the pot, why am I so angry? Taking advantage of me again, I am a widow, do I have to be slandered because I am a widow?"

"I let Xu Damao take advantage of it, isn't it also a helpless move? I don't eat or drink, but can I watch my child not eat or drink? But I didn't really have anything to do with anyone!"

Seeing the lovely and pitiful Qin Huairu squatting on the ground, covering his face and crying, He Yuzhu's heart ached a little. Even the soft sunlight felt extremely glaring. Stuck, out of breath!

He had also thought about whether Qin Huairu's behavior was a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality.

Qin Huairu has a problem with being a human being, and she relies on sacrificing her luster in exchange for benefits. In order to support her vicious mother-in-law and her three children, she tied up a silly Zhu for a lifetime, and cheated a silly Zhu for a lifetime, but think about it, if you were yourself But how would she do it.

Just like what she just said, can she just sit and watch her children starve and be expelled from school if they can't afford to pay the tuition?
All of these are helpless actions. Who wants to be a beast if they can be a human being.

He Yuzhu helped Qin Huairu up. At this moment, he didn't have any desire for her, but felt sorry for the woman in front of him who was not as tall as him but had a heavier burden on his shoulders.

At this moment, he understood why the silly Zhu brothers and sisters helped Qin Huairu's family everywhere, and they were not forced by life!
Of course, Qin Huairu's actions are infuriating, you have no doubt about this, but her life is indeed enough, pitiful and sad.

Because when He Daqing left with the widow and left their brothers and sisters behind, their lives were also very poor at that time, just like Qin Huairu's family, who did not eat the next meal, they borrowed money everywhere to pay the school fees for Yushui, for life, for If he was alive, he had to drop out of school and work in a factory to support his younger sister.

It is only because they are walking the same life path that the Shazhu brothers and sisters are moved with compassion and have been helping their orphans and widows without expecting anything in return.

"do not Cry!"

Qin Huairu hugged him as if venting, and sobbed: "I'm sorry, I really have never done anything with anyone, regardless of moral transgression!"

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

The two of them were brought back to reality by a sudden coughing sound.

He Yuzhu was startled with fright, and felt relieved when he saw that it was his apprentice Ma Hua.

"Sister Qin, go back to the workshop first. I'll take care of your affairs after get off work."

"En!" Qin Huairu responded with a voice like a mosquito, and fled in embarrassment.

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette and asked Ma Hua to sit down: "Apprentice, tell me, this Qin Huairu is not pitiful after all."

Ma Hua scratched his head: "She is a widow with three children, and she has to support her mother-in-law. It is logically pitiful and not easy, but master, isn't everyone living like this these days?"

"Take my family as an example. My father left early, my mother is not in good health, and there are younger brothers and sisters. The whole family is supported by me alone. Didn't they starve to death? My family's situation is not better than Qin Huairu's. , even Qin Huairu is still a regular worker, and her salary is higher than mine, so I don't understand why she can't survive."

Yes, what Ma Hua said is correct, most families are no better than Qin Huairu's family, but it's not a big deal, they are also living well.

But, why Qin Huairu's family is always short of money and food? After thinking about it carefully, their requirements for life are beyond the limit of what they can bear.

Qin Huairu's 27.5 a month is really a lot, but she has to give three yuan to her mother-in-law Jia Zhang every month. Banggen and Jia Zhang are greedy and often ask for meat and fine grains, so Qin Huairu is so high. The salary is not enough. Although Qin Huairu is pitiful, her family has asked for all of this. If the living standard is lowered, it will not be a problem to have enough food.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Huairu always thinks of getting something for nothing, and He Yuzhu, who is so hard-hearted to refuse, has become the object of her constant demands.

Ma Hua looked at the master lost in thought, and didn't bother him, and made him a cup of tea habitually, while walking away.

He Yuzhu thought a lot, a lot, and passed away in a daze all afternoon, until Director Fan woke him up with a leg of lamb, a fish, and ten eggs.

Factory Manager Yang treats guests tonight, the guests are more important, so Director Fan is specially asked to tell him!
Looking at the reticent He Yuzhu, Director Fan looked at Ma Hua: "What's wrong with your master? It seems that you are not very interested, and you seem to have something on your mind!"

Naturally, Ma Hua would not gossip about his master behind his back, "Maybe my master didn't sleep well at noon!"

"Mahua is right. I didn't go to the warehouse to rest at noon. I fell asleep on the chair in the back kitchen. When I woke up, I was sore."

"Director, don't worry, don't delay the matter!"

He Yuzhu started to cut the mutton, and asked Ma Hua to clean the fish and prepare four dishes and one soup.

The first course, braised fish.

The second course, battered eggs.

The third dish, cold dish, uses cabbage and vermicelli, fried potato shreds, and made Northeast cold dish.

The fourth course, lamb with cumin.

Finally, throw an egg soup, because there are no cucumbers and persimmons, I cut some garlic sprouts that I plan to serve, and put them in the soup.

When the pot was ready, he set aside a portion, because he wanted to go to her house with Liu Lan to get the bathtub, and arranged for Ma Hua to pack up the leftovers at night, and he kept the leftovers for Liu Lan, lest Liu Lan waste time waiting to pack up the leftovers .

Riding Liu Lan's self-confident car, carrying Liu Lan, he is such a lazy person, if he is not in a hurry to see his bathtub in order to save time, he must let Liu Lan ride him in the car.

Snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky. Liu Lan who was sitting in the back had He Yuzhu to shield her from the wind and snow. For some reason, Liu Lan felt very at ease in her heart, and even hoped that the road home would never end.

"Master He, please come in!"

When he arrived at the destination, He Yuzhu followed Liu Lan into the courtyard. Liu Lan's family lived in a small private courtyard, which was much better than the large courtyard where he lived. There were many people in the courtyard, and there was no secret at all.

"Dad, Master He from our unit is here to fetch the bathtub!"

Liu Lan led him into the warehouse, where a middle-aged man was pushing a plane and balancing a column.

"Master He, right? The bathtub you want is ready, but Liu Lan urges me to finish it for you early every day. Are you satisfied?"

"Master Liu, come and smoke a cigarette!" He took out a piece of Zhonghua and lit one for Father Liu: "Master Liu, I am so satisfied. You have always helped me a lot. I have a problem, no matter whether it is spring or summer. In autumn and winter, you have to take a bath every day, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable all over, and you won’t be able to eat well or sleep well.”

"Just be satisfied, be satisfied!"

Father Liu was smoking a cigarette, squinting his eyes, looking very proud of his work.

He Yuzhu felt that Liu's father's carpentry work was good, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Master Liu, I want to make a set of furniture by myself, can you take this job?"

"This depends on your drawings before I can decide."

He Yuzhu thought for a while: "Well, I'll go back and draw the blueprint first, and I'll come to you in a few days."

"Also, you always have timber channels, I wonder if you can always contract labor and materials?"

"That's no problem. Xiaolan's colleagues are our own. Don't worry, they must be made of high-quality wood."

He Yuzhu took out the money: "Master Liu, I'll take this bathtub away, let's see how much it is!"

Liu Lan hurriedly stopped him: "Master He is not worth a few yuan, the tub is given to you, and you have taken good care of me during this time."

"That won't work. Favors belong to favors. Business is business. If you don't charge Liu Lan, I won't dare to ask Master Liu for help in the future."

He Yuzhu took out a card of great unity, "That's all, if you still want me to come to the door in the future, don't refuse!"

Father Liu took a puff of his cigarette and made a decision: "Xiao Lan, take it."

Liu Lan was a little embarrassed: "Okay, then I will accept it."

"See you, Master Liu!" He Yuzhu picked up the bathtub and left the warehouse.

Liu Lan accompanied He Yuzhu out of the warehouse, "Then I'll drive you off!"

"No need to send it, it doesn't sink, and the bus station is just a few steps away."

He Yuzhu refused Liu Lan's kindness, but turned his head to find a place to carry people, put the bathtub into the space, and then got on the bus.

Everyone, if you read the old master and don’t like this paragraph, you can skip it. This paragraph is written for the follow-up plot!
　In fact, at that time, food rations were implemented, and even the rich could not buy food. The author believes that the reason why Qin Huairu's family was not full was because there were no food stamps!
