A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 136 Qin Huairu Joins the Company

The storm is about to come, and the courtyard house is now a powder keg that is about to explode, and it may explode at any time.

The Jia Zhang family was already unbearable in the past, and now it is even more unpredictable. Everyone is very cautious when passing by the Jia family.

He has a gloomy face every day and is ready to find fault at any time. No one wants to be in trouble at this time.

The Jia family didn’t know whether it was due to feng shui or human reasons.

Old Jia died, leaving behind the young Jia Dongxu. He finally got married and had children, but now Jia Dongxu is dead again.

He left behind two young children and a posthumous child.

As the saying goes, things in the world are unpredictable, and this also won the Jia family a lot of sympathy from people.

But no one wants to mess with the Jia family. Sympathy is one thing, but it is impossible to say who would be willing to mess with them.

In these difficult times, it is a problem to have enough food to eat at home, let alone taking care of others.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family looked at each other in silence in the house, both with worried faces. They had to have a plan for how to live their lives from now on.

The food rations were not much when they first came, and now with the death of Jia Dongxu, the problem of food is hanging over their heads.

"Huai Ru, it's fine for you to inherit the Jia family's job, but you must promise in front of the uncles not to remarry and raise Dong Xu's child to adulthood, otherwise I will let my nephew from my mother's side inherit it."

That’s right, this is what Jia Zhang planned. You can inherit the job position, but you can’t remarry. As for the steward’s testimony, it is just putting a shackle on Qin Huairu’s head.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I will definitely raise the child to adulthood and will not ignore you."

"I don't care. You have to promise me in front of these masters."

"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."

Qin Huairu must want to inherit the job position, and every worker is envious of her.

At this time, jobs in large state-owned factories are in short supply, and it is impossible to hire new positions from outside unless they expand.

Even if there are retired workers, their property will be inherited by their children and nephews.

In fact, there is no one, and each workstation costs several hundred yuan, and there is no demand for it.

Of course they won’t say it openly, but will sell it secretly. If they take it over and say it’s their relative, no one will take it seriously.

Jia Zhang didn't believe Qin Huairu, so she asked three uncles to be witnesses so that she could find a few uncles to watch over in case Qin Huairu remarried.

The three uncles were called to Jia's house by Jia Zhang. After hearing about the situation, they did not express any opinions. Such a simple calculation was obvious at a glance, and Jia Zhang could understand it.

Although widows are now required to remarry, they still follow their own wishes.

Since they have made this decision, just be a witness. Besides Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also support them.

Because Yan Bugui knew the policy, he did not comment on Jia Zhang's plan, neither supporting nor opposing it.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are relatively conservative in their thinking and think it is natural.

Yi Zhonghai was even more secretly delighted. It was in his best interest if Qin Huairu did not remarry. This was the best news he had received recently.

The next day, Yi Zhonghai took Qin Huairu to go through the employment procedures. Otherwise, he had to do it, as he could not transfer his household registration.

Qin Huairu’s household registration cannot be moved to the city, and she cannot get a food certificate. What will her family eat?
Yi Zhonghai brought Qin Huairu into the factory. Many people passing by saw them and were wondering who this beautiful young woman was.

Qin Huairu was seen walking step by step, with a rosy face, a proud figure, and her millstone twisting as she walked. It has to be said that Qin Huairu's appearance is very consistent with the current aesthetic standards.

In people's eyes today, Qin Huairu is prettier than Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiao'e.

Of course, judging from He Yukai's aesthetic standards in his previous life, Cai Wenqing is definitely better.

After arriving at the Personnel Department, Xiaobai's wife Guan Wen handled the entry procedures for him.

Yi Zhonghai brought the approval letter from the factory leader and the letter of introduction from the street office, all the formalities were complete.

But Guan Wen, looking at Qin Huairu's appearance and her job position, knew that the factory might not be peaceful in the future. The fitter workshop was full of men, and now that a widow had gone in, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

Qin Huairu was employed in the first workshop of the steel rolling mill as an apprentice. She could not inherit Jia Dongxu's work grade, but she could receive a five-yuan seniority subsidy. In this way, Qin Huairu could get a monthly salary of 23.5 yuan.

This is not low at all, they are all barely below the poverty line.

But if you rely on this little money to buy food on the black market, forget it, it's simply not enough.

After completing the entry procedures, he went to report to the workshop director Guo Dapiezi, and Yi Zhonghai accepted him as his apprentice.

Yi Zhonghai is now a first-level worker, but with the skills of an eighth-level worker, he is still capable of accepting apprentices.

Yi Zhonghai just wanted to treat her well. He thought Qin Huairu was very smart and if her work level was promoted in a few years, there would be no problem in the Jia family's life.

The Jia family can be self-sufficient and will not be a burden to themselves.

But Yi Zhonghai took it for granted. If he knew that Qin Huairu had become an apprentice, it would have been difficult for her to become a first-level worker without his help.

He was still a first-class worker until his retirement, and this was the result of his help. Would he still accept Qin Huairu as his apprentice? Who can say for sure?

He Yukai didn't know whether Yi Zhonghai wanted to teach Qin Huairu the craft or for some other purpose.

He Yukai didn't think about anything else, and didn't speculate on Yi Zhonghai's purpose of delivering food in the middle of the night.

Partial listening leads to ignorance, while listening to both sides leads to enlightenment. Don't just follow what others say, and don't make malicious guesses.

He Yukai is not in the mood to care about those things now.

What He Yukai is thinking about now is that he forgot to take something with him when he went to work in the morning, and saw the back of the deaf old lady when he returned home.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it felt like something was wrong. The deaf old lady who never left the compound actually went out.

But he never forgot what Master Niu said when they were drinking, the rumor about Sun Dianying, the rat son.

Gossip about Uncle Guan and Uncle Niu, and the relationship between the deaf old lady and Sun Dianying when she was young.

The emerald watermelon that has not been shown may have looked incredible when it was in the hands of the deaf old lady.

Could it be that the deaf old lady died suddenly and didn't explain these things?

This deaf old lady is really a treasure-hunting old lady. Both of He Yukai’s treasure spots have been emptied. Is there anything else?
It seems that I need to pay more attention in the future, and the five-guarantee households should still behave like five-guarantee households.

The camera turned, and as soon as Yi Zhonghai brought Qin Huairu into a workshop, it caused a sensation. The boring workshop life had a beautiful landscape, and the men's hearts became restless.

Especially Guo Dapiezi, he felt like he was in love, and his body felt hot when he saw such an attractive widow.

In heavy industrial enterprises like steel rolling mills, most of the people working in the workshops are men.

Most women still do light work such as welding, and there are more women in logistics and other departments. As for fitters? There are really few women.

The workshop was like a stone thrown into stagnant water, but it still stirred up some waves. The excited hearts and shaking hands were no longer focused on the work in hand. "Dear workers, this is Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu. She is now taking over our workshop. I have accepted her as my apprentice. Please take good care of her in the future."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Qin Huairu bowed to everyone. Everyone in the workshop looked at Qin Huairu with her big belly, beautiful face, and particularly large car lights, and they all agreed verbally. As for what she was thinking in her heart, probably only she knew.

"Master, I heard that Jia Dongxu's wife has taken over the job?"

"Liu Lan, who told you that? It's impossible, right? Qin Huairu is pregnant now. It's not suitable for her to take over the job."

"You really are a man who is full and does not know the hunger of a hungry man. What will your family eat if you are not on duty? I heard that the Jia family in your compound only has Jia Dongxu's ration."

"Now that you say it, it's really like that. Who cares? Just do your job well. Why worry so much?"

He Yuzhu didn't need to go to the front to get food now, so He Yukai didn't mention this matter. If he went to get food, he still had to make it clear, so as not to be pestered by Widow Qin again.

"Master, this is true. I saw Yi Zhonghai bringing Qin Huairu to the factory."

"Ma Hua, you are really nosy. Have you mastered everything I taught you? You will have an exam at the end of the year.

If I fail the exam, I will be scolded, and my elder brother will think that I didn’t teach you. I say, I don’t know how you got lucky, my elder brother pays close attention to you.”

"Don't worry, Master. I won't let you down."

Ma Hua grinned, knowing that his uncle was concerned about his cooking skills, and his master He Yuzhu was not hiding anything. If this was the case, and he still couldn't pass the ninth-level chef exam, he would just find a place to kill himself.

"Ma Hua is indeed lucky. I don't know which incense stick he burned. Master, you taught me with all your heart. Uncle Shifu asked about the progress from time to time."

"Liu Lan, stop complaining. Didn't I accept you and Yu Li as my disciples?

I can watch when I’m frying a big pot dish, but at this stage, my main focus is still on knife skills.

Cooking in a big pot is not suitable for you as you don’t have the physical strength to keep up. Once you have improved your knife skills, you can practice with the simple dishes and leftovers in a small stove.

How much you can learn depends on your own understanding."

"Thank you, Master."

Although He Yuzhu is now the deputy director of the cafeteria, everyone still calls him Master He. Besides, He Yuzhu's position as deputy director is just a figurehead.

In addition to the canteen and small kitchen, other matters are managed by the canteen director. The only benefit is that you can get an extra 5 yuan in job allowance every month.

Qin Huairu was very happy. Although life at home became difficult after Jia Dongxu's death, he had taken over the job and moved his household registration. Now he was considered a real city dweller and was no longer afraid of being sent to the countryside.

I feel like all the shackles are gone. Although my mother-in-law is still a big trouble at home, it's no big deal.

When I was serving lunch at noon, the staff in the cafeteria were very considerate and gave me a full plate. I ate half myself and kept the other half to bring home for my children.

Although there is no meat, it is quite good when fried with lard.

Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiao'e were also discussing Qin Huairu's employment. There were only so many people in the Women's Federation. After talking about work every day at work, they would start chatting. There was no pressure at all.

As for women, the only topics of conversation are cosmetics and gossip. In this era without cosmetics, the topic of conversation is gossip.

At that time, the Women's Federation was mainly concerned with women's issues, and basically did not intervene as long as no one complained.

If domestic violence or bullying of women occurs, the power of the Women's Federation will be demonstrated.

Because his parents had liberated ideas, the status of the Women's Federation rose sharply, and the He family did not get involved in power struggles, so the leaders of the factory supported Cai Wenqing's work.

Neither the factory director nor the secretary wanted to offend the neutral He Yukai and Cai Wenqing. No one wanted to push the neutral party to the opponent.

"Sister-in-law, you said that Qin Huairu started working while she was pregnant, and she didn't even wait until she gave birth to the baby."

"The baby is still three months away. What will the Jia family eat during these three months? Without rations, we can only buy expensive food on the black market.

With Jia Zhang's virtue, do you think she will take out the money she gets? Although Qin Huairu is usually very pretentious in the yard, her life is still very difficult now.

Let’s not get involved in these matters. Your elder brother doesn’t want us to get involved in this.”

"That's right. We still have to keep a close eye on Zhuzi in the future. Big brother is fine, but Zhuzi's willpower is not enough. Don't let Qin Huairu trick him.

Logically speaking, with Jia Dongxu's pension and Qin Huairu's employment, the Jia family should not be living too badly.

But according to what my eldest brother said, the courtyard will not be quiet anymore. The temple is small but the evil spirits are strong. Why is it so difficult to have quiet days?"

“Don’t even think about it, we just need to live our own lives and take good care of the children.

Now He Bing, He Jun, He Xiao and others are taken care of by Grandpa Li every day, so only He Yu is left, and he doesn't have that much pressure.

It’s true that Grandpa Li is very good with the children. They are now more polite. According to He Bing, he taught them a lot of ancient Chinese etiquette.

Yu Shui is also in junior high school. As long as the children are fine, the others can just watch the show quietly."

"I'm just sighing. I can't control it. Besides, even though I've been through all that, I still have to keep a low profile, until everyone forgets about me."

Lou Xiao'e knew that even though she had security now, she should still keep a low profile and survive. What her elder brother said was absolutely right.

Yi Zhonghai was thinking about his apprentice's family affairs and looking at Qin Huairu. The evil thoughts that had arisen before suddenly arose again and he couldn't suppress them.

I can't help your family for nothing. I have worked so hard, so it is only natural that you, Qin Huairu, give me a son, right?

The thoughts grew wildly, becoming more and more fiery, and his hot eyes scanned Qin Huairu's whole body secretly.

Liu Haizhong was thinking about his own things when the boss quietly left, which hit his confidence.

Now that I am an official, I am determined to do a good job as a team leader. Maybe I can even be promoted to a higher level before retirement.

Liu Haizhong has always believed that he is the son of destiny. He just didn't meet his mentor before. Now, isn't He Yukai his mentor? He has to hold on tightly. As for the matter of the Siheyuan? He just goes with the flow. He doesn't care about it anymore.

Qin Huairu's employment only caused some waves in limited places, while others continued to do their work step by step.

Only Yi Zhonghai was absent-minded at work today. Yi Zhonghai thought, just do it according to his own ideas, all this is the reward from the Jia family.

As for how to achieve it without anyone noticing, after much thought, the common method is still to use it. The Jia family should not act rashly unless they are at the end of their rope. Otherwise, they may not only not be able to eat the mutton, but also get into trouble.

Jia family
Jia Zhang still felt that it was not enough to just have a witness, she also had to force Qin Huairu to get an IUD.

As long as Qin Huairu doesn't have children in the future, Bang Geng will be Qin Huairu's only support.

She was also in that grade, and there are some things that you can't just not do if you don't want to, let alone Qin Huairu is in her prime.

If Qin Huairu gets pregnant, she might still lose control of her for the sake of the child.

She kept a close eye on the courtyard, so there was nothing to worry about. But she had no choice when she was at work, so she had to get an IUD inserted after the baby was born.

Jia Zhang did not deny at all the charm Qin Huairu had on men. These stinky men in the compound looked at Qin Huairu with eyes that seemed to make them want to swallow her up every day.

Not to mention the factory, Jia Zhang was confident that she could control Qin Huairu.
