The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 14

Jia Jia Zhang of the Intermediate Court: "Huairu, you are also confinement, find the old man to see when he will go to work in the rolling mill. Our family can't always have no income."

Qin Huairu: "I'll ask later, can you stop taking the painkillers, it costs several dollars a month, our family really can't afford it."

Jia Zhang: "No, I feel uncomfortable without taking painkillers. How much Shazhu gave you this month, give me 2 yuan to buy medicine, and the medicine at home is almost gone."

Qin Huairu: "Mom, where do I have money? Don't we have to pay for food at home, clothes and stationery for going to school?"
Jia Zhang: "Then you are going to borrow some from Shazhu, Shazhu has money."

Qin Huairu: "He still has money, and it's not like you don't know it. He bought watches and bicycles for his sister a few days ago, and the savings have already been cleared."

Jia Zhang: "Why don't you persuade him to spend so much money for a little girl's film, and if you have this money to give our family stick flowers, wouldn't he be fragrant?"
Qin Huairu: "How can I persuade people to spend their own money?"
Jia Zhang: "Don't tell me this, don't think I don't know about you and Shazhu."

Qin Huairu: "What can I have with him"?
Jia Zhang: "It's okay, can he be so kind to you? Look at who in this courtyard he has been so kind to"?
Qin Huairu: "They pity us."

Jia Zhang: "Don't talk about it, you still pity us. There are too many poor people in this yard. Why doesn't he give boxed lunches to others? With his little thoughtfulness, he thought I didn't know."

Qin Huairu: "I can't explain it to you, you stay here, I'll talk to the uncle about going to work."After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

The old man's family: "Huairu, what's the matter with you?"
Qin Huairu: "My lord, am I going to be confinement now? It's not a problem to stay at home all the time, but I'm here to ask you about my succession"?
Uncle: "Then you go to the factory with me tomorrow, and ask Director Yang how to arrange you."

Qin Huairu: "Thank you, sir, I can't help it. If I'm not at work, my family can't open the pot."

Uncle: "Is your house out of food again? I'll bring you twenty catties of stick noodles in the evening."

Qin Huairu: "The uncle, I will go back first."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of Da Ye's house and went directly into Sha Zhu's house.

Silly Zhu was drinking wine and eating peanuts when he saw Qin Huairu come in,
Silly Zhu: "Oh! Why is Sister Qin coming to my place today when she is free? Come sit down and have a drink together"?
Qin Huairu: "I'm not in the mood to drink with you, I can't survive this day", tears fell as she spoke.

Silly Zhu: "Sister Qin, don't cry, didn't I just give you 20 yuan a few days ago, and it was spent so quickly"?
Qin Huairu: "It's not that you don't know that my mother-in-law is in poor health and takes medicine all the time. It costs several dollars a month to buy medicine, and there are also tuition fees for school, clothes, stationery, paper and pens, etc. Well, when Bang Geng is growing, he has to replenish his body, the money is enough to spend."

Silly Zhu: "Okay, Sister Qin is waiting, I still have two catties of white flour here, I'll bring it here for you." After speaking, he went to the kitchen to get the white flour.

Back home with white noodles, looking at Mrs. Jia staring at herself
Qin Huairu: "Don't look at it, this is 2 catties of flour from Shazhu. Our family has to save some food, as Shazhu's house has nothing left."

Jia Zhang: "Then have you told Yi Zhonghai about taking over?"
Qin Huairu: "I said it, the uncle said that tomorrow I will go with me to the factory to see how it will be distributed."

Mrs. Jia Zhang: "That's fine. It will be better if you earn money at work. You can buy some meat later, and we will make dumplings at home."

Qin Huairu: "Didn't you just eat it a few days ago? Our family can't bear to eat like this all the time."

Jia Zhang: "Just this time, don't you want to go to work, let's celebrate."

When eating at night, the smell wafting from the central courtyard made greedy people curse the street.

Passer-by A: "This is still a family that can't live on. It's still difficult. Our living standard is not even worthy of carrying shoes for poor families. We have to think about how to get back the donated money."

After dinner, when it was dark, the uncle secretly completed the deal with Qin Huairu.

The next day, when I was having lunch at noon, I ran into Silly Zhu.

Yan Jiecheng: Silly Zhu, why are you willing to come out for dinner today?
"Hi! Isn't Sister Qin coming to work today? I can help Sister Qin more here."

"You are so unethical! When I was at work, why didn't I see you give me more care?"

"By the way, you can compare with my sister Qin, if you are a woman, that's fine.

Yan Jiecheng: Your bitch is here, silly Zhu, you can call her more, I won't need it.

"Sister Qin, come here and I'll get you some extra food, so you can do a good job when you're full."

Qin Huairu: "It's still Zhuzi, you treat my sister well."

"That's a must! How did you get assigned to that workshop?"

Qin Huairu: "In the first workshop, I'm in the same team as the uncle."

Silly Zhu: "That's fine, I'm relieved to have a grandpa take care of you."

The master in the first workshop said to Qin Huairu while making parts: "The fitter must have steady hands, precise eyes, and calm heart. If you do these things, you can become a fitter. You also need to learn to read drawings. Every fitter needs to be able to understand the drawings, and I will get you a few books about fitters when I go back. You can read more, because you are not well educated, so you have to work harder than others.”

"Understood my uncle, I will take a good look at it when I go back," Qin Huairu said.

Grandpa: "Huairu, you are now an apprentice for 18 yuan a month. I know you don't have enough money. I will ask Zhuzi to help you more often. You should focus on your studies. Three years as an apprentice You can upgrade your level after finishing regularization."

Qin Huairu said: "Thank you, sir, if it weren't for you and Zhuzi to help our family, I don't know how I would have survived."

Uncle: "Our family has been neighbors for decades, I will definitely help you if there is something to do, don't worry, let's go get off work, Sophora japonica is still waiting for you to feed."

Yan Jiecheng went to the vegetable market after get off work, bought a chicken and some vegetables, and took them back to the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw He Yushui coming back on a bicycle.

"The rain is back, how does this bike ride? I bought it with your brother."

He Yushui: "Then I have to thank you, I heard from my brother that I also bought this watch from you"?
Yan Jiecheng: "Yeah, how beautiful is it?"
He Yushui: "It looks good, but it's a bit expensive."

Yan Jiecheng: "You get what you pay for, you don't have to save money for your brother, he saves money for others to spend, as for you, you should eat, drink, and ask your brother if you have no money, and you spend more on you Brother, others will spend less on your brother."

He Yushui: "Apart from me, who else can spend my brother's money"?
Yan Jiecheng: "Then you have to go back and ask your brother."

When He Yushui came home, he saw that Shazhu was copying Chinese cabbage, and asked, "Brother, where is the lunch box you took? Why haven't you seen you take the lunch box recently?"
Silly Zhu: "Hey! The lunch box is given to Sister Qin's house, and it's not easy for Sister Qin. She needs to make up for her long body."

He Yushui: "I'm growing up too! Give them the lunch box, what should I do"?
Silly Zhu: "It's okay, I can still starve you, brother told Yan Xiecheng this morning that he wanted to make braised pork for you."

He Yushui: "Okay, you can figure it out"
