Siheyuan, I am He Yushui's classmate

Chapter 17 Nth General Staff Meeting

Ten minutes later, Zhao Jinhe took his wife and the only stool in the family and sat quietly at the end of the crowd in the middle courtyard.

There is a large square table in the front, with three middle-aged uncles in their 50s and [-]s sitting on three sides, each with a large tea cup, which looks like they are all large enamel cups issued by the factory.Teacher Yan was sitting on the right side. Opposite him was a fat man who was neither tall nor short, and in the middle was an uncle with short hair and a square face.

Shazhu, who Zhao Jinhe knew before, was sitting not far from his door, and He Yushui was also not far from him.I can't see the expression because I'm not close, but I seem to keep my head down, I don't know what's on my mind.

Looking at her, she is a little taller than three or four years ago, but she is also much thinner.

"It's almost time for people to come, so let me say a few words first, um, the current state of the country is very good!..."

Some leaders kept saying the opening words of the meeting for five or six minutes, and they couldn't stop.

"Second uncle, the child is very cold. Should I go home to warm up first and then come out to listen to you?"

"There is still a kettle sitting on the stove in my house, and the boiling water is almost boiling through the bottom of the kettle! Or..."

"Ha ha……"

The people sitting underneath all looked like they were watching a show.

"Okay, hold on a little longer. Now let the senior man talk about what's going on in the yard!"

"I won't say much. There is a new family in the yard. They live in the former house of the old Zhang family in the front yard. Come to Jinhe and come up to talk to everyone."

Zhao Jinhe saw that he couldn't hide, so he took his wife and went up together.

"I'm Zhao Jinhe, an electrician for maintenance in the factory. You can call me Xiao Zhao or Jinhe. This is my daughter-in-law Liu Yu. She is still a member of the Red Star Commune. From now on, I will be in the hospital. Before that, I and Brother Zhuzi and Brother Da Mao in our yard are quite familiar with each other. If you have any work to do, you should not be too polite when you say hello. I have nothing else, but I am young and have strength."

What Zhao Jinhe said was reasonable, but if you think about it, it's all false!Besides hard work?Doesn’t that mean that the family is relatively poor?Not to mention borrowing money and food, my daughter-in-law is a commune member in the village. Doesn’t that mean she has no urban household registration book, no job, and no food supply?
"Don't you just want to say that you are a poor man?"

On the side, an aunt who looked a little fat and muttered in a low voice with a little disdain.

Liu Yu, who heard next to her, was a little dissatisfied. Zhao Jinhe pulled her hand and stopped her impulse with his eyes.

In fact, he thinks this is good. Isn't this what he wants to achieve?
With such an impression, you will be able to avoid dealing with certain people in the yard in the future!A group of small citizens who only dare to plot against the people around them.

Beside the fat aunt, a young daughter-in-law who was holding a child hurriedly persuaded her in a low voice.

"mom……"

Next to the little wife, there was a man who was also holding a little boy, and he whispered with some disdain.

"What the hell? You're a poor man in rags all year round. What's there to pretend? He's wearing a new overalls today. Do you think others don't know him?"

Only Xu Damao curled his lips a little, others don't know, how can he not know?Zhao Jinhe is just a poor person on the surface!On the one hand, Zhao Jinhe has skills and can repair some electrical appliances to earn money. On the other hand, although his wife is a member of the rural commune, the Red Star Commune is not a poor commune. The members there are not necessarily living worse than the citizens.

"What's wrong? What he said is wrong?"

The daughter-in-law who sat aside and watched him asked in a low voice with some puzzlement.

"This guy is pretending to be poor! I can't say I'm rich, but at least it has nothing to do with being poor. I'll tell you when I get home."

Looking at the simple-minded daughter-in-law, Xu Damao also looked awkward, because she was afraid that she couldn't help it for a while, and it would ruin Zhao Jinhe's business. After all, he would often ask him to help maintain and repair the bicycle that came with the factory!It is used a lot, and the road is not very easy to walk. From time to time, there will be a little problem. If you don’t repair it frequently, you will suffer when you ride it. If it breaks on the road one day, it will make him suffer a lot.

Which end is more advantageous?Since people are willing to pretend to be poor, why should he bother to offend a useful person?

"That's right, whoever has the burden of his family will be poor!"

Silly Zhu very much agrees with Zhao Jinhe’s statement!After all, he himself knew a little bit before, while He Yushui, who was sitting next to him, curled his lips, a little dissatisfied with Zhao Jinhe's statement!If he hadn't said the same thing back then, he would have been shaken, and the people around him would have opposed it?It was hard to say before, but now she already knows a little bit about Zhao Jinhe's income!
She had seen him in an electrical repair shop before, and it usually cost one or two yuan to repair a radio, but seeing his proficiency, how could he earn five or six yuan a day on weekends?Coupled with the salary of his second-level salary, he should be relatively rich.

"Why do you have to say you are poor?"

She was a little confused and muttered unconsciously.

After saying some kind words, Zhao Jinhe hurriedly pulled his wife back to the back of the crowd and sat down.

"It's the end of the year! Life is a bit tight this year. Everyone should be careful about the yard. Don't let people from outside come in and lose things. It's embarrassing..."

After a short time, the meeting was announced to be disbanded.People walked back immediately. Who is not afraid of the cold?Trembling, there is no food in my stomach, I can't even bear to exercise, and I am more hungry when I am not cold!

The only person in the yard who is guaranteed to have enough to eat is probably Silhu Zhu.

Silly Zhu and He Yuyu followed the flow of people home and later went to Zhao Jinhe's house together.

"Jinhe! I haven't been to the courtyard much in recent years."

Silly Zhu acted like a big brother caring about his younger brother, and his words were a bit condescending.

"Isn't I always busy with work before? I often work night shifts, and the masters call it training young people!"

"Yeah! It was really busy a few years ago, the whole factory was working overtime every day, even our cafeteria was working overtime every day, no one dared to become a backward person!"

"Zhao Jinhe, congratulations to your old classmate! You got married before I graduated!"

Zhao Jinhe was a little embarrassed and explained to his wife, "Hehe... Yushui and I are junior high school classmates, and I also learned about the large-scale recruitment of people in the rolling mill from her."

"Old classmate! After that, our two families will have more contacts. I am very envious of your students in No. [-] Middle School. Your school is much better than ours!"

"Oh, it's you……"

"I graduated from Hongxing Middle School. After graduating from junior high school, I didn't get into a technical secondary school, so I didn't want to study. Studying is too expensive!"

"That's right, if it wasn't for my brother, I wouldn't be able to persist until now. Fortunately, I'm about to graduate soon!"

"Yes! You are finally graduating." Silly Zhu also looked relaxed and disappointed.

When the child grows up, there will be no burden, but he will soon go out and become someone else's wife.
