Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Director Wang did not take the lunch box back, but let Sha Zhu take it back. It was the last time anyway.

Qin Huairu walked into the room and looked at the two lunch boxes on the table. Sha Zhu said coldly, "Take them all away. Today is the last time. There will be no more lunch boxes in the future."

"Why, Silly Zhu, are you still angry?" Qin Huairu's face was full of grievance, and her eyes began to mist. "It was Xu Damao who provoked you, not my family. The children are still growing up."

Sha Zhu looked into Qin Huairu's eyes. These big watery eyes were so nice that tears came easily. The other party was about to cry, so Sha Zhu couldn't be cold anymore. He could only explain calmly: "I was transferred to the workshop."

"Why?"

Sha Zhu patted his lunch box and said, "Because they were found and punished."

"What should we do? The children are still young." Qin Huairu's face was full of worry. "My mother-in-law, my children and I all have rural household registration. There is no rationing, and there is not enough food. I should discuss with my mother-in-law who will go to work."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu who picked up the lunch box and hurriedly left and shook his head, "You only think about your family, why don't you think about how hard it is for me to go to the workshop, why I am like this, and you don't even say a word of apology or comfort."

Sha Zhu ate peanuts and drank wine, cursing Director Wang for being unkind in punishing him, cursing the workers who were eating for not knowing good from bad, and cursing Qin Huairu for only thinking about the Jia family. Before he knew it, he had drunk both bottles of wine in the house, which weighed about one and a half kilograms, and was completely drunk.

The dream came as expected but was extremely terrifying. Sha Zhu woke up in the middle of the night, as if he had been fished out of the water. His body was shaking constantly, and he didn't know whether it was because of fear or anger.

Fifty years have passed in a hurry. I have been plotted against and PUAed by others for fifty years. It seems happy but it is actually miserable. I raised other people's children, but I could not be with my own son every day because I had to take care of Qin Huairu's feelings. I sent away those old men and women who were plotting against me for their retirement one by one. However, I was driven out of my house by the child I raised since childhood, who said that everything belonged to the Jia family and that I was a gigolo who took advantage of the Jia family. The main houses in the central courtyard and the back yard belonged to me, He Yuzhui. How could the other houses be registered under the name of the Jia family if it were not for Lou Xiaoe?

He could only blame himself for getting lost in false friendships and constantly sucking blood from the Lou family, which eventually led to the loss of his own son. In the end, he was left alone in his old age, was driven out of the house, and became food for stray dogs.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Sha Zhu kept his eyes open, looking at the Jia family outside the window. Bang Geng's ferocious face, Xiao Dang's sharp scolding, and Qin Huairu's indifference were all vivid in his eyes and ears. Sha Zhu knew that this was not fake, because most of his previous dreams about the Jia family and the future had come true.

There is a great terror in the future, what should we do???

Yi Zhonghai was wondering when he saw Sha Zhu in the workshop, until the deputy director of the workshop announced that He Yuzhu would be transferred to the workshop to work from today, and asked Yi Zhonghai to teach him more. After all, Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level fitter, and it was easy for him to teach the novice Sha Zhu, and the two of them lived in the same yard.

"Zhu Zi, why did you leave the workshop?"

“It’s been dealt with.”

"Why, weren't you fine in the cafeteria yesterday?"

"The canteen director found out about the extra food he brought. He found out yesterday."

"What about Huairu and the others? If there are no leftovers, and they don't have a fixed amount, something bad will happen."

"..."

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui is now attending a technical secondary school with a subsidy, and his meals and lodging are all provided at the school. You can't finish all the food by yourself, so why don't you save some from yourself and give it to the Jia family?"

"Master, I won't marry a wife. All the food I can't eat will be given to the Jia family. What do they have to do with me?"

"Neighbors should help each other, just like I often take care of the deaf old lady."

"How can it be the same? The old lady is alone, and the Jia family has four members, no, it will be five soon. What's more, I have to take care of a widow all day long, and Xu Damao will gossip about me. I won't be able to marry a wife in the future, and I won't be able to live a good life." Sha Zhu touched his nose, "You have a high salary, you can actually consider working for the Jia family." After saying that, he ignored Yi Zhonghai and went about his own business.

In the evening, Qin Huairu came to Sha Zhu's house. Her lunch box was really empty. She said, "Your director is so cruel that he sent you off to the workshop for just a little leftovers. Didn't the factory director and his family like the reception you prepared?"

"It's a different time of year now. I haven't prepared a banquet in ages. I'm no longer needed."

"Okay, I'll go back then."

"Well, you still don't feel apologetic at all." Sha Zhu ate peanuts and drank wine in a depressed mood, then relaxed his body after a day of hard work.

The nightmare came as expected, just like yesterday. When Sha Zhu woke up, he was no longer shocked, but still angry.

Qin Huairu returned home to discuss the work station with Mrs. Jia. Mrs. Jia did not trust Qin Huairu. She was thinking of waiting for her grandson to grow up and use the work station, because she was afraid that Qin Huairu would become more powerful after she started working and might ignore her and even her children and marry someone else in the future.

"Mom, don't think about anything else. Now Shazhu can't bring a lunch box. Our family has rural household registration and no rationing. Even if we have money, we can't buy food these days. If I get a job, Banggeng and Xiaodang's household registration can also be changed to urban household registration. The baby in my belly will also be from the city in the future, so our family's rationing will be fine." Qin Huairu described a beautiful future to Jia Pozi, "After I get a job, we won't have to spend Dongxu's pension, and we can still eat meat every month."

Hearing that there was meat to eat, Mrs. Jia was tempted and made a request: "Then you give me five dollars a month as my retirement money."

"Five dollars is too much. My salary won't be very high since I just started working. I'll give you three dollars first. When your salary increases in the future, not only five dollars, even ten dollars will be fine." Qin Huairu made a promise to Mrs. Jia.

When Mrs. Jia heard that she would be paid three yuan a month and could get more in the future, she was still a little worried, but it didn't matter anymore. She should just focus on the present. After all, Shazhu couldn't bring his own food every day, and if he didn't have enough to eat, and really starved to death, nothing would taste good anymore.

Qin Huairu went to work and became a real city dweller. Due to her low educational level and some other reasons, she was assigned to Workshop 3, which was the workshop where Jia Dongxu worked before. As Jia Dongxu's widow, the people in the workshop showed her the greatest kindness. The male workers took the initiative to teach her how to make workpieces skillfully; the female workers helped her drive away the little bees that wanted to pick flowers.

Sha Zhu didn't say anything. He had the warning from the nightmare and didn't want to get too close to Qin Huairu. He knew that although this woman didn't have any feelings for him now, it was because she hadn't been oppressed too much by life and didn't understand Sha Zhu's advantages. Once she realized that by holding on to Sha Zhu she could reduce stress and live an easy life, she would definitely keep him firmly under her control.

Yi Zhonghai was happy to see Qin Huairu able to go to work, but he just asked her to take care of her health and not to disturb the fetus.
