Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

It turned out that Yu Li's test results were out, and she had become a formal employee of the street office.

Although Yu Li didn't say it, He Lin knew that her work problems had always been a concern for her. It was really a great thing that she passed the exam and got a regular position this time.

"How's it going, Brother Lin? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"When did I think you were embarrassing? Let's drink together to celebrate Sister Li's promotion."

He Lin, He Yushui, Yu Li and Yu Haitang raised their glasses together.

"Chelsea..."

"What is that?"

"Chels, that means cheers in English."

"Brother, do you know English? I heard from our school teacher that the school will start to set up English courses next year. Unfortunately, I can't catch up."

He Lin knew that from the time of liberation until recently, Russian was the main foreign language used because of the extremely close relationship with the north.

Around the beginning of the 60s, the Ministry of Education issued the "Full-time Middle School English Teaching Program", which stipulated the process of compiling English textbooks. Subsequently, English was officially listed as a college entrance examination subject, and English has always been the first foreign language in China.

In his previous life, He Lin had always been a top student when he was in school. He was able to stand out from the huge crowd of candidates taking the college entrance examination. Needless to say, he had basic English skills. After working, he inevitably had to come into contact with English works and deal with foreigners, so he also learned to speak fluent English.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you. Our country will have to develop externally sooner or later. We can't develop by closing our doors. You can discuss it with Xiaoxue later, and I will take time out to tutor you in English."

He Lin didn't say it directly about opening up to the outside world, so he changed it to external development. The girls could naturally understand what He Lin meant. People at that time were not as conservative as imagined. They were also full of yearning for external knowledge and technology, but they lacked the corresponding channels and had no way to obtain the corresponding knowledge.

Those who resolutely returned to China to serve in the past few years, such as Mr. Qian and Mr. Deng, not only brought advanced technology and knowledge, but also brought the idea of ​​learning from advanced science and technology.

Yu Shui and the Yu sisters all nodded in agreement. At this moment, they felt that He Lin seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them. The gap between the two sides was constantly widening. They would have to study more in the future to improve their cultural quality.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng returned to the courtyard after dark. Along the way, they discussed today's work experience with each other, summed up the experience and lessons, and prepared for tomorrow's work.

The third uncle was waiting for his eldest son at the door. When he saw Yan Jiecheng coming back, he wanted to ask about what happened in the factory that day. However, Yan Jiecheng dismissed him with just a few words.

"Dad, I'm tired all day. Let me eat something and I'll go to rest."

"Boss, why does the bike you're riding look familiar to me? Was it given to you when you first arrived at the factory?"

"What are you thinking? Brother Lin lent me his own car to run a business."

"He Lin's car. Boss, He Lin introduced you to such a good job, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"

"Don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing. I'll thank Brother Lin after I get my first month's salary. But if you're interested, just give me ten dollars and I can go buy something first."

Yan Bugui listened to his son's words of insult and didn't know how to refute. He could say a lot of words of thanks, but to spend his own money to buy something, that would be cutting into his own flesh and blood.

"Take care of your own affairs. You should wait until you get your salary."

"That's it, just worry about your own affairs. When I get paid in the future, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

The third uncle Yan Bugui made a "pah" sound and thought to himself, you kid is waiting for me here. If you want to get your salary yourself, I'll see if you have the ability to do it. Just wait and see.

After Xu Damao returned home, Ran Qiuye prepared dinner for him. As a wife, Teacher Ran was also dedicated and responsible, taking care of brother Damao in every possible way.

Xu Damao sometimes thought to himself that He Lin was really his benefactor. Fortunately, he asked Brother Lin to screen him when he was looking for a partner. Now he is living such a comfortable life.

It was dinner time and lights were on in every house in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was tired after a day in the workshop and had to cook when she got home. Old Mrs. Yu, Jia Zhang, was half lying on the kang, squinting her rat eyes, trying to keep her spirits up while waiting for dinner. Xiaodang was taking care of his little sister Huaihua, and Banggeng was fiddling with his newly made wooden pistol.

Qin Huairu was so angry. Other families had a loving husband or wife, but she was different. Not only did she work hard to support her family, but no one understood her, especially her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, who was a complete waste. She didn't even do the trivial work and only cared about eating.

There was nothing delicious at home, so Qin Huairu steamed a pot of steamed corn bread and paired it with cornmeal porridge, barely making up the amount for a meal.

Jia Zhang had been hungry for a long time, and she was not happy when she saw the steamed buns served.

"Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? You haven't eaten meat for a long time. You are deliberately abusing me. You have made me thinner recently."

"Yes, mom, the food in our house is too bad. I just sneaked through the crack of He Lin's door and saw a large table of dishes, including braised spareribs. I was drooling just by smelling them."

"Braised spareribs? My dear grandson, didn't you bring back a few pieces? Let us satisfy our cravings."

"Mom, please stop making trouble. You know the situation of the He Lin family. They are treated as deputy factory directors and have everything they want to eat. How can we compare with the He Lin family?"

"And Bang Geng, you are not allowed to have any ideas about He Lin's family again. If they catch you again, I won't be able to pay you back even if I sell you off."

Jia Zhang took a steamed bun with a huff and took a big bite out of spite.

With a stutter, a big gap was knocked out of Jia Zhang's old tooth.

"Oh my god, Qin Huairu, you are deliberately trying to hurt me. Ah, it hurts so much."

"Mom, you bought the corn flour yourself this time, don't you know its quality?"

Jia Zhang was stunned and remembered what happened two days ago.

Qin Huairu was busy at work that day and had no time to buy corn flour, so Jia Zhang volunteered to take on the job.

The price of corn noodles was basically fixed, and Qin Huairu thought that Jia Zhang would not be able to do anything tricky, so he agreed and gave Jia Zhang 1 yuan and asked her to buy corn noodles.

The result is predictable. When the money comes into Jia Zhang's hands, she has to spend every penny carefully.

I walked around the entire market just to pick out the cheapest cornmeal, and finally chose this bag of cornmeal that had fallen on the ground and was mixed with sand and gravel particles.

Her teeth were so painful from being knocked that it was impossible for her to eat steamed corn bread anymore. Feeling aggrieved, Jia Zhang covered her mouth with her hands and could only slurp the cornmeal porridge in silence.

If God does evil, you can still violate it; if you do evil on your own, you can't live.
