Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 15
"Well, let's make a few more flush toilets and install them for Grandma and Mama together. This way, it will save them the inconvenience of going outside to go to the toilet."

The age of the deaf old lady is not young, she is sixty-three this year, this age may not be considered very old in modern times, but in the 60s and [-]s, this age is already considered an old birthday.

At that time, the average life expectancy was less than forty years old, and sixty-three years old was really a long life.

Coupled with the lack of supplies in this era, there is no nutrition at all, so once this person turns fifty, his physical fitness will decline sharply.

Just like the deaf old lady, her physical fitness is not good now, as soon as the climate changes, she will catch a cold easily, and if she catches a cold, she will have to lie in bed for at least half a month, and if she falls, at least she will have to suffer from a cold. It took several months to recover, which was due to her poor physical fitness.

Therefore, at her age and with such physical fitness, it is really unsafe to go to the bathroom outside, especially when it snows in winter, or when the road is frozen when it rains, it is even more dangerous.

As far as Zhou Jianguo knew, in winter, the deaf old lady would not go to the bathroom unless she could go to the toilet. She usually prepared a toilet at home, but even so, dangers often appeared.

It is impossible for her not to go out to empty the toilet, and once it snows outside and the roads are frozen, do you think it is safe for a sixty-three-year-old man to go out to empty the toilet and wash the toilet under such circumstances? !

With this in mind, Zhou Jianguo also planned to build a modern bathroom for the deaf old lady this time, with a flush toilet, so that she would no longer have to worry about going to the toilet in the future.

You can log in whenever you want, and for as long as you want, without worrying about outside urging.

The deaf old lady is pretending, and the aunt must not forget it.

Over the years, the aunt has sincerely regarded her predecessor as her own son, so she should be treated the same way.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Zhou Jianguo came out of the cave world, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

It seems that the time is still very early, but don't forget that Zhou Jianguo has prepared a large table of meals today, and the preparation time for several big dishes inside is not short, so it is just right to start preparing at this time.

The first mother just came over at this time, and she came to help make dinner.

Zhou Jianguo was only thirteen years old anyway, and in the eyes of the aunt, he was just a child, so when it was time to cook, the aunt came over and wanted to help.

"Jianguo, go wash the vegetables, I'll kill the chicken." As soon as he entered the house, the aunt picked up the rooster and prepared to go outside to kill it.

"Big Mom, there's no need. Let us men do these bloody things. You go to wash the vegetables." Zhou Jianguo quickly grabbed the rooster and said with a smile.

Killing chickens is not an easy task, especially plucking chicken feathers, it is even more tiring, and as long as I throw it into the cave world, I can easily kill it, so it is better to let the big mother wash the vegetables and kill the chickens by myself , so that it is easy for both of them.

"Our Jianguo has really grown up!" The first mother said with a look of relief. For the first time, she felt that Zhou Jianguo in front of her had indeed grown up, and was no longer the child she was before.

"Okay, then Jianguo, you go kill the chicken, and I'll wash the vegetables!" The big mother smiled and picked up the sweet potato vines on one side and went out to clean them.

Men need exercise, and killing chickens to see blood is also a kind of exercise.

"Auntie, there are more than five catties of tender peanuts here, you wash them out together." Zhou Jianguo handed the tender peanuts under the table to the auntie.

"Tender peanuts?" The aunt looked at it suspiciously, and found that it was really tender peanuts. She couldn't help asking: "Jianguo, why are there tender peanuts now? They are still so fresh, as if they were fresh from the soil. It's like digging it out."

It's March now. Generally speaking, tender peanuts should only be available in June and July.

"Mom, these are all grown in the greenhouse." Zhou Jianguo pushed everything on top of the greenhouse: "Not only the tender peanuts, but these sweet potato vines are also grown in the greenhouse."

"So it's a warm shed!" Big Mom nodded. She had heard of warm sheds before, but most people couldn't buy them.Of course, even if you can buy it, most people will not buy it, because the price is too high.

"Jianguo, from now on, we can no longer buy the vegetables in the greenhouse. It's too expensive. We ordinary people should eat some radishes, and cabbage is enough." The aunt said with a heartbroken face.

Zhou Jianguo didn't need to say anything, she knew that these tender peanuts and sweet potato vines definitely cost a lot of money. Although Da Ma didn't know how much it cost, she couldn't help but say something when she saw Zhou Jianguo's extravagant spending.

"Auntie, don't worry, I bought these tender peanuts and fresh vegetables at a low price, which is three or four cents a catty. Some of my uncles are in charge of the greenhouse, so don't worry, I won't use it indiscriminately." Zhou Jianguo explained.

In fact, Zhou Jianguo was not lying, because in his memory, there were indeed two uncles who were in charge of some warm sheds. When his predecessor's parents were still there, they often took him to play in those warm sheds in winter.

"Oh, I remember. When Zhou Hai and the others were still here, they often took you to play in the greenhouse." The first mother remembered, but soon she looked at Zhou Jianguo very carefully, her eyes There was a trace of uneasiness inside.

Zhou Jianguo understood that the aunt was afraid that he would recall the past and that he would be unhappy, so she was so careful.

"Big Mom, don't worry, it's been so long, I'm fine now," Zhou Jianguo said.

"Besides, I want to live a good life. This is the best reward for my parents and their spirits in heaven. So, from now on, I will live a good life!"

"Okay!" The first mother shouted, her face was full of relief: "Jianguo, you can rest assured that you can think like this, Amitabha."

The aunt was so happy that she even recited the Buddha's name. It was obvious that she had been worrying about this matter in her heart before. Now that Zhou Jianguo said this, the big stone in her heart finally fell.

"Big Mom, thank you!" Zhou Jianguo said with moist eyes.

"Thank you, you're a big mom. I've seen you growing up since I was a child." There was a glimmer of water in the big mom's eyes.

In the third workshop of the rolling mill, Qin Huairu raised her head with a tired face, and carefully put aside the processed parts in her hands. Today, all the parts that are processed on the production line weigh dozens of kilograms, and she is really tired.

To be honest, the female workers who can stay on the front line are all strong men, and ordinary women really can't stay.

Not to mention the weight of the processed parts, just using the machine requires considerable strength to operate. If you don't have a hundred pounds of strength, you really can't turn the machine.

Although Qin Huairu was born in a rural area, she was capable, but it was too much for her to handle these machines for a long time.

Women are inherently inferior to men in this respect.

She also wants to study hard and improve her level, but how to put it, she may not get along with the machine, she can handle rough machining, but when it comes to finishing, for some reason, she just does it. It's not good, either it's worse here, or it's worse somewhere. After all these years, to be honest, Qin Huairu himself gave up the promotion.

Some people said that since you can't be a front-line worker, then you can transfer to the logistics, such as the kitchen or something. It's easy, and there are some extra money, isn't it better than that.

If you say this, it proves that you don't understand the huge gap between the kitchen helper and the low-level front-line worker.

Yes, it's not difficult for Qin Huairu to be transferred to help in the kitchen, at least He Yuzhu will definitely help, but why Qin Huairu never thought about this, is it because she didn't see it, or is there some other reason?
Qin Huairu had actually seen it a long time ago, but she didn't want to be transferred to the kitchen.

Although the work on the production line is hard and torturous, its status is much higher than that of kitchen helpers, and this type of work has many benefits. Because it is heavy physical work, the food quota allocated every month is really not low.

Take the helper in the kitchen as an example, because there is no need to do heavy physical work, the fixed grain for one month is only [-] catties, while Qin Huairu's current front-line job, because it is heavy physical work, so a month The ration of the family is a full forty-six catties, which is twice as much as the previous one.

In this era when a morsel of grain can save a life, adding twenty-three catties of grain is hard for anyone to resist.

Especially for a family like Qin Huairu, the twenty-three catties of grain are really life-saving grain.

Qin Huairu is very clear-headed. If she goes to help in the kitchen, there are indeed some benefits under the unspoken rules, but the sum of these benefits is definitely not as much as the twenty-three catties of grain, or even less than half of it.

Besides, the factory will give some subsidies to the front-line workers every month. Sometimes it is money, not much money, like two or three yuan, but these two or three yuan are only in their early twenties As far as Qin Huairu is concerned, it is not a small amount of money.

Of course, it’s not all money every time. Sometimes it will subsidize some meat tickets in the cafeteria. In summer, there are popsicle tickets, soda tickets, and coal tickets in winter, etc. There are many benefits, so, How could Qin Huairu be willing to be transferred from the front line.

Finally, and most importantly, the salary of a kitchen helper is really low, [-] yuan a month, which can be said to be the lowest wage in the factory. Qin Huairu is still a first-level worker, but her salary is higher than that of a kitchen helper It was quite tall, a full twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents, a full eleven yuan more, so why would Qin Huairu be willing to be transferred to help the kitchen.
