Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"Uncle, why are you still silent? Do you have any problem with our family and don't want us to go?" Yan Bugui was anxious.

His son has not been able to find a suitable job, and the family has several mouths to feed and finances are tight.

If I could get into a steel rolling mill, my future life would be secure.

"Zhu Zi, I heard everything just now. You said you wanted to go back to Hongbin Building and you didn't want to go." Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu and asked.

"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Uncle, if Zhuzi doesn't go, your job will be vacant anyway. It doesn't matter if you give it to us." Yan Bugui said.

Yi Zhonghai took a moment to speak, "Third Uncle, it's not that I don't want your family to be together, but we have already agreed that He Daqing is a worthless person."

"He left two young children behind and went on a carefree life. We in the courtyard must help him, otherwise the pillars and the rain will be in trouble."

"I just found a good job, so I came over to ask Zhuzi if he was willing to go. Zhuzi is about to turn 18, so he is an adult when he works in the factory."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but find it funny when listening to Yi Zhonghai's high-sounding words. Since he wanted to pretend to be a good person, He Yuzhu would help him to the end.

"Uncle, I really can't go. I am very grateful that you have always been thinking about me and Yu Shui, but Yu Shui and I are living well in Hongbin Building now."

"But look at Uncle Three. He's the only one working at home and has to support such a large family. To be honest, his life is not much better than mine."

"Uncle Yi, please be kind and help our uncle San. Uncle San is such a nice guy. Last time, he even helped our Yushui borrow elementary school textbooks."

When Yan Bugui heard what He Yuzhu said, he thought that the textbooks he borrowed were not wasted, this kid still knew how to be grateful.

So he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yes, uncle, if our Xie Cheng can really get that job, he will definitely be grateful to you."

"When the time comes, I'll ask that kid to scoop two more spoonfuls of rice for you," said Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai was extremely disgusted after hearing this. These promises made by Yan Bugui were of no use to him at all.

What he wanted was to have someone to take care of him in his old age, so he gave Yan Jiecheng a job. When Yan Jiecheng became rich in the future, all the benefits would go to Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai was not willing to do such a good thing for nothing.

But being provoked like this, he still said to Yan Bugui: "Uncle San, don't worry, since you asked, I will definitely go and ask for you."

In front of He Yuzhu, he said that he could go in and work directly, but when it came to him, he just went over and asked.

Yan Bugui was not very happy, but Yi Zhonghai was the most authoritative person in the hospital, and there was nothing he could do if he was unwilling to help.

But this job opportunity is so rare, even if I feel uncomfortable.

He still said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, our solution is entirely dependent on you."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. It's all easy to talk about."

But he turned around and looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, look, I just opened my mouth and someone rushed to get this job. Tell me if you still don't want it."

He Yuzhu said: "The main reason is that I can support myself now, so there is no need to go through all this trouble."

"Zhu Zi, you can get your salary here in two years, which is much faster than in Hongbin Building." Yi Zhonghai advised again.

"Uncle, you better finish this task, I won't go." He Yuzhu shook his head.

Yi Zhonghai said: "I do want to, but I think in my heart that Jie Cheng is still taken care of by the Third Master, but you and Yu Shui are different. It's just the two of you, so I naturally feel bad for you."

He Yuzhu just found it funny when listening to Yi Zhonghai's words.

"Uncle, I am an apprentice now. If I can complete my studies, my salary will not be less in the future. If I leave Hongbinlou, I will go directly to the cafeteria."

"I can't even cook a few dishes, and I'm still thinking that I can live a better life with Yu Shui in the future. I'm afraid that by then we will only be able to have enough to keep ourselves fed and clothed. I don't want that." He Yuzhu insisted.

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "I am not feeling sorry for you. Your Third Uncle has said so, but I still want to take care of you first. This is because you offended the Third Uncle."

"When the factory was recruiting, I told them I was here to introduce a reliable person and asked them not to look for someone privately, as I could mobilize a lot of connections on my own."

Yi Zhonghai became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had put a lot of effort into He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu still said resolutely: "Uncle, I am grateful to you, but I think it is better for people to have their own skills to make a living."

"You are the same, you are a senior fitter in the steel mill, everyone respects you, and Brother Jia even follows you to learn skills, that's because everyone thinks you have real skills."

"I don't want to live my life in a muddle. I have learned well from my master, so I must stick to it."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that He Yuzhu was determined not to buy it, he became anxious.

There's no point in him talking, so I'm afraid he can only ask someone else to do the talking.

The deaf old lady has always had a good relationship with He Yuzhu. Let the deaf old lady come over and say a few words. Maybe she can persuade He Yuzhu.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai hurriedly going back to find someone, He Yuzhu didn't say anything.

Jia Dongxu said, "Zhu Zi, you are too impulsive. You don't want such a good job. Now the third uncle must be trying his best to get this job for his son."

"Tell me how regrettable it will be for you then."

"Brother Jia, I've told you that I plan to study hard so that I can learn a skill like you, and then I can truly support my family," said He Yuzhu.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he said, "Zhu Zi, are you stupid? You see that rainwater is free now, but as the little girl grows up, there will be many places where she will need to spend money."

"Will it be enough for you to be an apprentice there for three to five years? You will have to start a family by then, and you will also need money. You are completely not considering your own future by rejecting my master like this."

Although Jia Dongxu is the son of Jia Zhang, he is not that deep-minded. He has been with Yi Zhonghai for so many years and has not had many bad thoughts.

He Yuzhu was an honest man, so he said, "Brother Jia, I know you are all thinking about me, but I am also thinking about myself. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to support Yushui."

"Besides, look at how much my master gave me, how much he paid me, and how he treated me like his son. But I turned around and said I would quit. Isn't that ungrateful?"

"Brother Jia, I can't do such a thing. I still want to stay in Hongbin Building." He Yuzhu said.
