Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

At a New Year's Eve dinner, some people eat happily, while some people eat sadly. As the host, Shazhu cares about those who are happy, and he cannot change anything about those who are unhappy, so he can only feel sorry for them silently.

On the way to send Grandpa Guan back to the street, Grandpa Guan took Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, do you know what makes me happiest today? I feel at home again. The whole family sits together, bickering, chatting, eating and drinking, relaxing physically and mentally."

"I'm glad. Come here often in the future and treat this place as your home."

"I will, but I'm afraid you'll find me annoying."

"As long as you are willing to come, I will never be annoying, don't worry."

The old man was helped home by the old lady. He lay on the bed thinking about what Grandpa Guan said and recalled what the old lady said to him. He made up his mind to treat Sha Zhu well and entrust his retirement to him. He didn't need to be afraid even if he gave him everything he had. Zhuzi was not the kind of person who would betray his trust. After thinking it through and feeling better, the old man got up and started making dumplings with the old lady, ready to send them to Sha Zhu's house tomorrow morning. He knew that his family didn't need them, but this was a token of his heart.

Father Yu, Mother Yu and the old lady were old and tired after a night of noise, so they went to rest. Yu Li, Yu Haitang and Yu Shui stayed up to pray for their parents' longevity while making dumplings for tomorrow morning.

Yu Haitang thought of the topic about capitalists and asked her sister, "Do the staff of your street have the same attitude towards capitalists as before? They used to exploit workers and oppress the working people. Just because they helped our party, they can write it off by handing over factories and shops?"

"You girl, are you still thinking about this? You are really something. They have handed over their factories and shops, and cut off their source of livelihood. What else do you want? Are you going to take them all to Caishikou and chop off their heads?"

Yu Haitang said excitedly: "Why not? They are still using the money they have obtained through exploitation, eating and drinking delicious food every day, and living an extremely luxurious life. They should be overthrown, hand over all their money, and rely on their own labor to earn income and maintain their lives. This is fair and reasonable."

"Fair, reasonable? There is no absolute fairness in the world. You ask people to hand over wealth accumulated by generations. You know which wealth is exploited and which is not. You just ask them to hand it all over. This is fair and reasonable. There are elderly people among them. These people can't do anything. How do they live? Have you ever thought about it? We can't be so radical. We have to take it slow and reform them slowly. Now they can still live better because they still have the interest on the shares. In two years, when the fixed interest period expires, they will have to support themselves."

"Humph, we have to wait another two years and let them suck the blood of the people for two more years." Yu Haitang was still a little indignant.

Yu Li looked at her sister-in-law who had been silent the whole time and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"What are you talking about? I just ate the blood and sweat of the people, and a lot of it." Yu Shui stuck out his tongue.

Yu Haitang flicked Yu Shui's head, "You little bitch, you're trying to ruin my reputation, aren't you? I've taken good care of you in school. Besides, what we eat is the result of your brother and my brother-in-law's hard work, so it's our share."

"Yes, it's earned through hard work. No wonder you eat so much. Aren't you afraid that Yang Weimin will think you're fat later?"

"Haitang, are you in love?" Yu Li immediately became interested, "Tell me about it."

"What can I say? He's my classmate and he's been pursuing me for two years. I couldn't bear to see him continue pursuing me, so I reluctantly agreed to get to know him first. I haven't agreed to establish a romantic relationship with him yet."

Yu Shui asked doubtfully, "If we haven't established a relationship yet, he will make meals for you every day and send you home on weekends."

"Isn't this what he should do? If he doesn't behave well, how can I establish a romantic relationship with him? This is a test, Yu Shui, you have to learn this. Man, you can't agree to him too quickly, or he won't know how to cherish you."

"That Yang Weimin, where is he from and what do his family members do?" Yu Li didn't care whether there was a test or not. She wanted to know the other party's situation first. This was how she was responsible for her sister.

"His family is also from Beijing. His parents are ordinary workers. I heard that he has an uncle who is the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Sha Zhu, who happened to come into the room, heard this and asked, "Are you sure it's the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and not some other factory?"

"Sure. He mentioned it several times. He also said that he would work in a steel mill after graduation. He asked me if I had found a job. If necessary, he could help me get a job in the steel mill. He also said that he would definitely arrange an easy job for me."

"Easy job?" Sha Zhu remembered that in his dream, Yu Haitang seemed to have dated Director Yang's nephew and worked in the broadcasting room. Should he let her continue to follow the path in his dream? What if there is a strong wind in the future, and Yu Haitang breaks up with Yang Weimin because of her position, and his sister-in-law enters the factory through someone else's relationship, and then dumps him, it will be difficult for him to see Director Yang at that time, after all, the other party treats him well. No, it seems that he must not only consider Yu Shui's job, but also Yu Haitang's job problem, because they are all debts.

Seeing that Sha Zhu hadn't said anything for a long time, Yu Li thought that Sha Zhu knew something, and asked anxiously, "Is there something wrong with Yang Weimin? Or is there something wrong with his uncle... No, Director Yang treats you very well and gives you formal cadre treatment. That's Yang Weimin, he's not bragging, is he?"

"No, I've never met Yang Weimin. It's just that Haitang mentioned an easy job just now, so I was wondering if I could use my connections to arrange a suitable position for Haitang so that she wouldn't owe him a favor. From Haitang's tone, I can tell that she doesn't like Yang Weimin very much, right?" Sha Zhu kicked the ball to Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang curled her lips and said, "Yes, a little bit. That person is very rigid. I think it was his friends who reminded him to get me food and send me home. If it was him, he probably wouldn't have thought of it. He would have just written a love letter or something."

Yu Li asked: "Then you still agree to get to know him?"

"I'm thinking about whether I can get into the steel mill through him!" Yu Haitang said anxiously.

"You don't even know to ask dad or me about this. Fortunately, it was Yu Shui who brought it up today, so we've talked about this. Otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark. You owed someone a favor for nothing. If you don't get along with them in the future, how can you let your brother-in-law live in the factory? Getting into the factory through someone and then kicking them out is like crossing the river and destroying the bridge. It's immoral. We can't do that!" It's not that Yu Li has a positive outlook. She doesn't want her husband to be innocently implicated. He finally became a cadre, and it's not worth offending people because of this. What's wrong with my sister? My sister is not as important as my husband. Besides, it's not that my family is incapable of finding a good job for my sister. It's not like everyone in the family was an ordinary worker before, and now there are two cadres in the family. If they can't solve this problem, it can only mean that I and Sha Zhu are both useless.

Yu Li glanced at Sha Zhu, who nodded and said, "Your sister is right, you should have told me earlier. I always thought your school would assign you a job, so I didn't worry about it."

Yushui said: "The school assigns jobs, so there are good and bad ones. Those who are good at studying will of course be assigned the best ones."

Sha Zhu laughed secretly: My sister is good at making eye drops. He said to Yu Haitang: "It's okay, your brother-in-law will take care of your work, and I will find you a good one."
