Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Jia Zhang's shout made Liu Haizhong speechless. At this moment, he really wanted to strangle this old hag to death.

Although I have some private intentions to take revenge on Zhao Shanhe, isn't my purpose for the good of your Jia family? Do you really think eggs are so easy to buy now? Even my daily supply of one egg is bought by my second aunt at the black market for more than two yuan per pound.

The yard fell into silence at this time. Jia Zhang also felt from this atmosphere that she might have said something wrong. However, Qin Huairu, who could persuade her in the past, was in the hospital, and her son was accompanying her in the hospital. There was no one around to help her with advice, so she had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

"Liu Haizhong, why are you silent? Isn't it about helping each other and loving neighbors? Why is it so difficult for me to pay for some eggs?

And you, Zhao Shanhe, eggs in the vegetable market are only 4 cents per pound, why do you have to buy them at one dollar per pound? Aren't you a buyer? Can't you think of a way? Didn't you take kickbacks on this?"

Zhao Shanhe stood up, picked up the stool and left. Alpaca (a kind of animal), if I don’t leave now, I’m afraid I will not be able to hold back and punch this old hag directly, and then I will have to kneel down and beg her not to die.

When Liu Haizhong saw Zhao Shanhe walking straight away, he wanted to call him back, but then he thought, what is he trying to do? It would be better to let Jia Zhangshi handle such an offensive matter herself. As for the fact that no one is taking care of the Jia family? Isn't there Lao Yi?

Thinking of this, he stood up and said.

"Tomorrow, the three aunts, you guys go to the hospital to take care of Qin Huairu. Ask Lao Yi for the meal money directly. We can discuss other matters later. The meeting is adjourned!"

With Liu Haizhong's departure, everyone went back to their homes, leaving only Jia Zhang still shouting in the middle courtyard.

"Who will take care of my eggs then?"

Now even Yi Zhonghai didn't want to bother with her anymore.

For three consecutive days, Zhao Shanhe sweated like crazy in the steel rolling mill stadium every day. When he had free time, he would go to see Chen Xueru. When he returned to the courtyard, it was already late at night and there was no one around. Even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to find him, he had no chance.

It was not until the fourth day when Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard from the hospital that Zhao Shanhe showed up. He learned from Xu Damao that Sha Zhu had been acting like a live-in son-in-law these days and was involved in everything.

When Qin Huairu was hungry, Sha Zhu cooked for her. When Qin Huairu was thirsty, Sha Zhu made soup for her. When Qin Huairu wanted to eat something sweet, Sha Zhu spent a lot of money to buy her fruits. When Qin Huairu had insufficient milk, she had crucian carp and pig's trotters for lunch every day.

Not only was He Yushui envious and jealous, even other people in the yard started gossiping.

What's the matter with Qin Huairu's daughter being Shazhu's? Otherwise, if Jia Dongxu's first one was a son, why was the second one a daughter?

Some people also said that Qin Huairu couldn't stand the abuse from Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Dongxu didn't take her seriously, so she had no choice but to give herself to Sha Zhu, otherwise Sha Zhu wouldn't have been so attentive.

The result of these words spreading to the Jia family was that Jia Zhang started cursing people in the front, middle and back yards every day, from morning to night. If you have the energy to do that, you should go to the vegetable market and queue up to buy some eggs.

As for Jia Dongxu, it was even worse. His neighbors nicknamed him "Green-haired Turtle" and some called him "Grassland Dong". He could only swallow his bitterness. Do you think he didn't want to make some delicious food for Qin Huairu? But he had no money. Even if he asked his mother, she wouldn't give him any money. He was just waiting for the day when he would get his salary.

However, these gossips made him extremely hostile to Sha Zhu. After all, no man could stand hearing such rumors about his wife and another man.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu was finally discharged from the hospital, and Jia Dongxu also made it very clear to Jia Zhangshi that they must be waterproof, anti-electric, and anti-idiot, and must never let this guy get close to the Jia family again.

Looking at his three-day-old daughter, he thought for a long time and finally gave her a name. Let's call her Jia Dang. I hope she can be a decent person like your father in the future.

This is a bit of a daydream. He himself is crooked and only wants to get Yi Zhonghai's property. How can this child be legitimate?

However, Jia Zhangshi still listened to part of what Jia Dongxu said. Except when Sha Zhu came to deliver delicious food, Sha Zhu was not allowed to set foot in the Jia family at other times. This could be regarded as her fulfilling part of her oath to Jia Dongxu.

In the blink of an eye, it was June, and the selection competition for the Sijiucheng team for the first National Games of China was about to be held. Because the Sijiucheng Workers' Stadium had not yet been built (it was completed on August 59, 8), the selection competition was held at the Xiannongtan Stadium.

Speaking of China at that time, the most powerful team in sports events was the People's Liberation Army team. This behemoth was indeed a bit unreasonable because most of China's elites from all walks of life were in the army.

After that, it was Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong Province, each leading the way, followed by Qi and Lu, Jizhou, and Saibei. As for Fengtian Province, the eldest son of the Republic, it was really not good enough in sports.

Zhao Shanhe had just achieved the power of two pillars a few days ago, and yesterday he demonstrated the top speed of 100 meters and 200 meters in front of Deputy Director Nie, who loved track and field. With this speed, it is very likely that he will win a medal in the National Games. Isn't this a merit that he has picked up for free? I heard that some high-ranking Chinese officials will also go to watch the competition. With this achievement, will he be noticed by the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Metallurgy?

He directly instructed Dong Tao, the head of the factory office, and Coach Dai to keep Zhao Shanhe's results strictly confidential, and at the same time to give him a certain amount of care and attention. As long as Zhao Shanhe made a big splash in the National Games, great things would surely await them.

June 59, 6, the day after Grain in Ear.

Zhao Shanhe met up with Coach Dai and Dong Tao early in the morning and went to the Xiannongtan Stadium together. At that time, all the sports elites in the city had gathered here, including top students from the Sports College, track and field masters from various universities, many farmers who had just put down their hoes, and of course workers from various factories who came to make up the numbers.

The head of the Sijiucheng delegation was Zhang Qingji (homonym), who was also a celebrity in the Chinese sports world. After he gave a speech on the rostrum of the stadium and wished everyone good results, the selection competition began directly.

The first event was the 100 meters. Zhao Shanhe saw many masters, such as Gao Zhengquan from the Sijiucheng Track and Field Team. This person had actually been selected and was just here for the formality.

There are also Xu Lifang and Liu Jingren, who are among the most famous 100m and 200m runners in China in this era. Although some of them have made their lives brilliant through this National Games and some have become unknown after the Games, at this time they are collectively known as the greats of Chinese sports.

With the strength of the two pillars, Zhao Shanhe passed the selection easily, and the coach of the Sijiucheng Track and Field Team came directly to poach him. Fortunately, Coach Dai and Dong Tao remembered the orders of Deputy Director Nie and guarded against him strictly, and at least they did not let the other side succeed.

All that was left was training. However, Zhao Shanhe had only used 8% of his strength and was already as fast as Gao Zhengquan, the best runner in Sijiu City. The delegation no longer forced him to attend the training, but only warned him not to get injured during this period. After all, his results would ultimately belong to the Sijiu City delegation. He also had to participate in the opening ceremony rehearsal in August, because there would be many foreign guests at the opening ceremony and he couldn't afford to lose face for China.
