The world of film and television started from optical film

Mencius says in Chapter 9 of "Exerting Heart and Mind": If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

Although Shazhu's income was good when he worked as a chef in a steel rolling mill, he was also very lavish in spending money. He also had to support his sister, but he also helped Qin Huairu's family from time to time.

This alone is enough to show the character of Shazhu. Although he usually does not have good moral character and suffers a slight loss in small matters, his moral character is still worthy of a thumbs up.

Since he opened the Peony House together with Wang Zhong and his sister, and after making a lot of money every day, Shazhu also has extra money in his pocket, and his life has become more and more prosperous. Although he has three sons and one daughter, and the family is large, Mudan The income from the building is enough to cover the expenses of the whole family, and there is still a lot of surplus.

Nowadays, in the entire courtyard, apart from Wang Zhong's family, Shazhu's family is living the most prosperously.

Ever since he followed Wang Zhong on a trip to the southwest, Silly Zhu seemed to have changed. Not long after consulting Wang Zhong and He Yuyu, he took out 30% of Peony House's annual net profit. A student aid fund has been established to help children from poor families in the southwest mountainous areas who do not have the conditions to go to school but are eager to go to school.

Silly Zhu originally wanted to donate the money directly to the local government or school. When Wang Zhong knew what Silly Zhu was thinking, he immediately persuaded him. If the money was really donated directly to the local government or school, could it be used? Those children who are really poor are still talking about it.

Silly Zhu is not those innocent Virgin White Lotus who has never seen the world. After working in the steel rolling mill for so many years, Silly Zhu has a clear understanding of those people, but he is not willing to get involved.

After everyone gathered together, they established such a scholarship fund at Wang Zhong's suggestion. The candidates to be funded were all selected by Sha Zhu and Wang Zhong, who personally went to the rural areas in the southwestern mountainous area to inspect and select. The funding did not involve direct transfer of money. It is not given to the children or their parents, but used on the children in the form of materials, tuition fees, tuition and fees, and living expenses.

Although it is cumbersome, it can prevent the money from being used elsewhere to a certain extent.

Sha Zhu also found it cumbersome at first, but after he went there a few times and kowtowed to thank the sponsored children and their parents in person, Sha Zhu, an authentic old Peiping tough guy, was almost moved to tears.

Silly Zhu and his wife were preoccupied with the Peony Building and the student fund. They also had to find time to educate their four children. They wished they could spend their time in half and had no time to pay attention to the bad things in the courtyard.

He Daqing's health has not been very good in the past few years. After all, he is getting older and his body is not as strong as before. All diseases and pains come out at once. Fortunately, He Daqing has been working as a cook all year round, so he has no shortage of oil and water. Bian Shao's condition is not bad. Although he has some ailments and aches, they are not life-threatening.

Siheyuan, Lao Wang’s house in the front yard.

Qin Jingru sat on the sofa and watched TV. The replay of the 1983 version of Journey to the West was playing on the TV. Although it was very old, it was a classic that people could never tire of watching. Qin Jingru had already watched it no less than ten times, but she still watched it. With relish.

Wang Zhong picked up a banana, peeled it and put it in his mouth. He said without forgetting, "Your cousin is still lying in the hospital. You still have time to watch TV!"

Qin Jingru said angrily: "Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature, so why should I have to be so worried that I can't eat or sleep well?"

"Besides, aren't Xiaodang and Huaihua accompanying me in the hospital? I'm not a doctor, so there's no point in worrying."

"If you have time, you'd better go to the hospital and have a look!" Wang Zhong said.

Qin Jingru heard something wrong with Wang Zhong's words, turned to look at Wang Zhong and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Zhong said: "I am sick due to overwork. Once it breaks out, your cousin may not be able to get over this hurdle."

Qin Jingru was stunned and asked in disbelief: "That's not it! Her body usually seems to be in good condition, and I haven't heard anything wrong with her?"

Wang Zhong said: "No matter how good your health is, she can't help her going through such a torment. She has to serve two old people every day and take care of her granddaughter. Not to mention that she is as old as your cousin. Even if she has an iron body, she can't bear it."

Qin Jingru was silent, lowered her head, her eyes flickered, and then raised her eyes to look at Wang Zhong: "How long will it take?"

"It can take as long as a month, or as little as ten days and a half!" Wang Zhong said: "How long she can last depends on her spirit."

"So serious?" Qin Jingru's pupils shrank. Qin Huairu was a saint for three to five years. She was only sixty-three years old this year, but she looked like an old lady in her seventies or eighties. The years had left too deep traces on her body, and her hair It has already been dyed silver.

"Then why didn't you tell Bangge and the others?" Qin Jingru said.

"Can they believe what I said?" Wang Zhong said angrily. Although they knew that Wang Zhong knew some medical skills, they didn't think that Wang Zhong's medical skills were very good at all.

"Hey!" Qin Jingru didn't know how to answer the question, so she could only sigh helplessly.

"Then I'll go to the hospital and have a look!" He said as he stood up.

Wang Zhong threw the remaining banana peels into the trash can, stood up and said, "I'll drive you there!"

It's late at night and it's not convenient to take a taxi in the alley.

Wang Zhong drove Qin Jingru all the way to Xiehe, and he didn't forget to call Wang Xinyi on the way. Now Wang Xinyi has achieved some success in his career and is already the department director of Xiehe.

With Wang Xinyi's help in making arrangements, Qin Huairu can save a lot of trouble and spend a lot of money by living in Xiehe.

When the couple rushed to the ward, Wang Xinyi happened to be there, but at this time Wang Xinyi was wearing casual clothes.

Qin Huairu was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, and she was talking to Wang Xinyi, with Huaihua sitting next to her.

"Auntie, uncle!"

"Dad! Mom!"

When Huaihua and Wang Xinyi saw the two coming in, they both took the initiative to say hello to them.

When Qin Huairu saw Wang Zhong and the two of them, a smile appeared on her face: "Here they come!"

Wang Xinyi and Huaihua quickly stood up and gave the small stools to Wang Zhong and Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and asked with concern: "Cousin! How are you feeling?"

"Much better!" Qin Huairu squeezed out a rather forced smile. Not only was her face pale, but her eyes were dim, as if a candle might be extinguished at any time.

If Wang Zhong hadn't said anything, Qin Jingru really wouldn't have noticed this.

"It's so late, why are you coming here!" Qin Huairu's tone was reproachful, but a little helpless.

Qin Jingru said: "We are just idle at home, so we just wanted to come over and see you and chat with you, so that you don't lie around and get bored all day long."

Wang Zhong looked at Sophora japonica and asked, "Why are you the only one? Where are your sister and the others?"

Huaihua said: "My sister has gone home. She will come to replace me in the evening. My sister-in-law will come to replace her tomorrow morning!"

Now Qin Huairu needs someone to take care of her. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang's family also need someone to take care of them. They can't live without people. Xiaodang said he is going home, but in fact he is helping Bangge and Yu Xiuxiu to take care of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang. .

Wang Zhong said: "If you are really too busy, hire a nurse!" "I told them that there are nurses in the hospital and I don't need anyone to accompany me, but they just didn't listen and insisted on coming to accompany me." Qin Huairu said in a serious tone. There was a bit of blame, but the relief in her eyes betrayed her.

"Mom! Don't worry, we sisters and sister-in-law will take turns to come here and come over to work." Huaihua said.

"You have to go to work during the day!" Qin Huairu said.

Qin Jingru helped to persuade: "Cousin, don't worry so much. Huaihua is a mother, not a child. They know what they know. What you have to do now is to rest peacefully and recover your body. Better than anything else.”

"..."

As soon as they heard that Qin Huairu fainted and went to the hospital, the neighbors also went to visit him. It must be said that Qin Huairu's reputation in the courtyard was quite good, especially after Wang Zhong, a little butterfly, flapped its wings. Geng did not hang out with Xu Damao as in the original work, which offended many people.

Qin Huairu herself has been widowed by Jia Dongxu for many years, and she has worked hard to support her mother-in-law and three children by herself, which is really admirable.

Originally, Liu Guangfu was looking for Sha Zhu and wanted to sell the house to Sha Zhu and ask for a higher price, but he happened to catch up with Qin Huairu, who lived next door. With the tempers of Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye, this kind of thing was inevitable. It is impossible to sit idly by.

Apart from anything else, Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye brought the food for Qin Huairu's family from the Peony Building these days. Sha Zhu also helped Bang Geng take care of Yi Zhonghai who was paralyzed in bed.

It's just that Shazhu's family was busy helping the Jia family and had no time to bargain with Liu Guangfu, so they simply left Liu Guangfu alone.

In the next half month, Qin Huairu woke up from a faint. She was in a daze for most of the day. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, her internal organs were already riddled with holes and her body was leaking. Like a sieve, the vitality has been scattering in all directions.

Until that day, early in the morning, Qin Huairu was surprisingly sober, her energy level was visibly better, and her voice was even louder.

Xiaodang was very surprised at first, thinking that a miracle had happened, and was about to call the doctor in a hurry, but Qin Huairu reached out and shook his head to stop him.

Qin Huairu looked at Xiaodang and said, "I know my health well. Call your brother and the others and ask them to come over. I have something to explain."

"I'll make a call right away." Although Xiaodang promised, he still called the doctor over. Until he heard the words "return to the light" from the doctor's mouth, Xiaodang's expectation turned into disappointment.

In addition to calling Banggan and Sophora japonica, Xiaodang also called Qin Jingru and Ran Qiuye.

Not long after, everyone gathered at the hospital.

After Qin Huairu explained the funeral arrangements to Banggan and her two daughters, she drove them out of the ward.

Looking at Wang Zhong and Qin Jingru standing by the window, Qin Huairu smiled again: "The most correct thing I have done in my life is to introduce Jingru to you!"

Normally, upon hearing this, Qin Jingru would inevitably joke with Qin Huairu, but at this moment, Qin Jingru, who knew Qin Huairu's situation, was in no mood to say anything else.

"All this time, I haven't had time to say thank you."

"Cousin, thank you!" Qin Jingru said sincerely, holding Qin Huairu's hand.

Qin Huairu looked at Wang Zhong behind Qin Jingru and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Wang Zhongdao: "If you have anything to say, I can't just say I wish you a safe journey!"

Qin Huairu laughed dumbly: "It's not impossible."

Wang Zhongdao: "Actually, I have always admired you. After all these years, you, a woman, have worked hard for your children for decades without any complaints!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhong's voice changed: "Actually, sometimes I'm also very curious. After so many years, have you ever thought about finding another one?"

Qin Huairu still looked at Wang Zhong: "I am a woman with three children and a mother-in-law. How can anyone look down on me?"

When he said this, the sadness and regret in Qin Huairu's eyes flashed away.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not bad to start from the beginning. Although it will be a bit difficult and tiring, you can still have a clear name for the rest of your life."

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "What a nameless thing! I don't care."

"Thank you, Wang Zhong!" Qin Huairu suddenly changed her voice and thanked Wang Zhong.

"Thank me for what I did!" Wang Zhong said.

Qin Huairu said: "Thank you for your help over the years."

"Then it's Jingru you should thank!"

Qin Jingru said hurriedly: "Cousin, please stop being so polite to me."

After Qin Huairu smiled, her expression gradually became serious, "Jingru, Wang Zhong, I don't have much time."

"Xiao Dang is smart and Huai Hua is stable. The only thing I can't worry about now is Bang Gang. He has an impatient temper and is irritable in doing things. He is not stable enough."

"I want to trouble you. After I leave, I will help him with some tricks to prevent him from making mistakes."

Wang Zhong said: "If you want to say anything else, I really dare not agree to it, but you can rest assured on this matter. As long as I am by your side, I will definitely not let him be impulsive."

Qin Huairu didn't want to ask Wang Zhong and Qin Jingru to help take care of Banggeng, but now Wang Zhong is no longer the high-spirited factory director of the past, and Qin Huairu knows Wang Zhong's temper well, and Wang Zhong is not the kind of person who helps his relatives but not others. .

After receiving Wang Zhong's guarantee, Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Zhong couldn't follow Bang Gong all the time, Bang Gong would never be impulsive as long as Wang Zhong was by his side.

Not long after explaining the aftermath, Qin Huairu closed her eyes completely on the hospital bed.

The three brothers and sisters helped arrange the funeral arrangements, and the neighbors in the courtyard also rushed to help.

Sixty-three years old, if we put it back to the old society, it would be considered a long life. In fact, it is not young at this age, but both Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang are much older than Qin Huairu, so When compared, people can't help but feel emotional.

Some people even say that Qin Huairu died of exhaustion because of taking care of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu herself was sick from overwork, and what she had done over the years was seen by her neighbors. As soon as this rumor came out, it naturally won people's high recognition.

Just from word to word, these words inevitably reached the ears of Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai.
