Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 7 Before the Wedding (Part )

It was only 1951, the public-private partnership had not yet begun, and there was no way to talk about grading. The factory certified three levels: elementary, intermediate, and senior!
Three years ago, when Old Jia passed away, Lou Zhenhua gave a pension and promised to let Jia Dongxu work in the factory. Yi Zhonghai saw that Jia Dongxu had lost his father and took the initiative to accept him as his apprentice.

He helped in every aspect of life, even the person he was about to marry, Qin Huairu, was introduced by someone Yi Zhonghai found, and he was grateful to her.

When Jia Dongxu came to the factory, he did the work of an apprentice. After much difficulty, he was converted to a regular employee, and his work was slightly easier than that of an apprentice.

Jia Dongxu wants to learn technology and change the living conditions at home!
Three years have passed, and I have mastered the basic knowledge. Although I haven't used the machine yet, I have done a lot of maintenance work.

The real technology was not learned, and Yi Zhonghai did not explain it. When he operated, he let Jia Dongxu watch from the side.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but want to curse. A junior worker didn't even have the skills, so what was the point of watching the senior workers operate? It would be strange if he could understand it.

Despite this, Jia Dongxu knew the importance of Yi Zhonghai and he would never dare to offend him.

Yi Zhonghai is still young, just turned 40. Although he has no children, who can say that he can't have children?
There are women who give birth to children in their fifties. After offending Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu had a hard time in the factory.

Yi Zhonghai has strong technical skills, and no one in their workshop wants to offend him, and he has many senior and junior brothers and sisters!
Yi Zhonghai has no shortage of people who flatter him. If he offends his master, there will be plenty of people who will cause trouble for him without his master's help.

His family's life depends on him. Although the bride he is about to marry is beautiful, she is from the countryside after all and has no job. The burden on his shoulders is much heavier. Thinking about this, Jia Dongxu fell into a deep sleep.

When He Yuzhu got up, the yard was already noisy. Yan Bugui's voice reached He Yuzhu's ears clearly. He was calling on the women to go buy vegetables, and of course Yan Bugui took the lead.

Yan Bugui has always been the purchaser for weddings and funerals in the compound. This guy's calculations are not only in the compound, but also give vegetable vendors of all sizes in the vegetable market a headache when they see him. He can even calculate the price for every scallion for you.

The weighing pole must be higher before I give up, otherwise I will argue with you!
The vegetable vendors were all illiterate and could not defeat him in an argument. Even though Yan Bugui's words sounded very high-sounding, they just couldn't understand him!
At that time, the illiteracy rate even reached over 90%, which is not an exaggeration at all, otherwise so many literacy campaigns would not have been organized.

The smoke of war had just dissipated, but there was still war between the peninsula and the south. Except for those with decent family conditions, most families were grateful to be able to survive, so they had no extra money to send their children to school.

He Daqing was a chef. In addition to his salary from the steel rolling mill, he took on a lot of wedding and funeral ceremonies. He was considered to have a small fortune, but he was able to support He Yuzhu to go to junior high school!

Only people like Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi in the compound can study, and others can forget about it.

Liu Haizhong had a good income and a stable job, but his dream of becoming an official when he turned 40 had never come true. He placed all his hopes on Liu Guangqi and was determined to send his eldest son to college and become an official.

Liu Guangqi is the same age as He Yuzhu and is now in high school. So far, he is the person with the highest diploma in the compound. Liu Guangqi is definitely the eldest son of the Liu family and has a very high status in the hearts of Liu Haizhong and his wife.

Xu Fugui is a film projectionist at the steel rolling mill, and his wife is a servant in the Lou family. They have two salaries and are the first class in the courtyard house. Xu Damao is now 15 years old and is about to graduate from junior high school.

Xu Damao has the support of Xu Fugui, and Lao Yinbi has not yet started his journey as a big boss. In He Yuzhu's memory, the two of them seemed to have a good relationship.

The deterioration of their relationship probably started after Lao Yinbi became a big shot. In order to discipline Sha Zhu and make him his thug, he kept saying bad things about Xu Damao in He Yuzhu's ear and instigated He Yuzhu to deal with Xu Damao! The relationship between the two gradually deteriorated and became completely irreconcilable.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

When He Yuzhu's soul was wandering in the sky, there was a knock on the door, which made He Yuzhu very annoyed!
Two days after my rebirth, I was not used to hearing someone knocking on my door early in the morning every day, but I didn’t dare to yell loudly because Yu Shui was sleeping soundly, so I had to let the child get enough sleep!
Yu Shui was only five years old and lacked a sense of security. He refused to sleep alone no matter what, so He Yuzhu had no choice but to agree.

He had no choice but to get up and put on his clothes, his face full of murderous intent. He would not let it go unless he could explain the reason.

"Who is this? Are you done yet? Who is so immoral and disturbs my sweet dreams?"

He asked impatiently while opening the door. It was just past five o'clock and He Yuzhu was not used to being woken up so early.

"Silly Zhu, the neighbors have all gotten up to help, but you are still sleeping? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. How come you can't teach them no matter how hard you try? I am your elder, this is how you treat your elders?"

Yi Zhonghai was in a state of confusion. He lay on the kang last night and couldn't figure out the reason for Sha Zhu's change!
If it was because of his embezzlement of Yu Shui’s child support, Sha Zhu would definitely be in big trouble!
There had been no changes when Shazhu and his sister had just returned from Baocheng, and he didn't believe that He Yuzhu was a cunning person.

It's not that he is conceited. He watched Sha Zhu grow up and he knows Sha Zhu's personality very well.

"Uncle Yi, there are so many people in the hospital, why are you staring at me? Can't you say anything for disturbing someone's sleep?

Besides, you didn’t tell me about this big thing in advance, and I didn’t ask for leave, I still have to go to work!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to care about these things. He was in a very bad mood after waking up. He ignored Yi Zhonghai and turned around to close the door.

The ear room had been emptied last night, and they could decorate it as they pleased. He Yuzhu had laid a landmine, and given Jia Zhang's personality, he would definitely fall into it. This would be his first show in the Siheyuan world!
"Silly Zhu, come back and help in the kitchen as soon as you're done with your leave!"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to kick open the door of the He family's house, but there were already a lot of people in the compound and they were in the public eye, which was not in line with his personality, so he forced himself to endure it.

If Yi Zhonghai had changed his way of communication, He Yuzhu might not be so angry, but you are neither my father nor my son, why do you keep chattering?
He Yuzhu woke up his sister and prepared to go to work, as he had to tell his master!
Of course we have to help. They are a vulnerable group. If we don’t come, there will be a lot of gossip!

He has to establish a good image as an honest person. How can he not have a good image when he plays the pig and eats the tiger?

If he wants to live well in the courtyard surrounded by birds, he must not lose his personality. Otherwise, he will be controlled by others in every way, divided and disintegrated, and let them fight each other. Wouldn't it be nice for him to watch the fun from the sidelines?
He didn't want to be tricked into not being able to find a wife and having to marry a widow, and then have to provide for these beasts in their old age, and finally help the Jia family, a family of ungrateful bastards.

If you calculate in detail, Qin Huairu is the king of calculation and the big winner of Siheyuan!
She calculated that others would raise her children, and used Lou Xiaoe's money to take over the courtyard house and provide for everyone's retirement!
The key point is that all the good reputation belongs to Qin Huairu, which is chilling to think about.

Sha Zhu is not a good guy either. He is greedy for the widow's body, has the desire but not the courage to do something, eats what others have left, and in the end he doesn't even have money to call his own son. He is so miserable that it's outrageous.
