Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Chapter 100: Six years later, changes in the courtyard

Time flies, and six years have passed quietly.

A lot of things have happened in Nanluoguxiang in the past six years.

For example:

In 1954, the country implemented a "grain rationing policy". Jia Zhang was unwilling to give up her rural household registration, but she encountered difficulties. In the entire Jia family, only Jia Dongxu had a "grain book", and the supplied grain was not enough to eat. They could only buy expensive grain on the "black market", which made the already poor family even worse.

In 1955, when the country entered the "ticket era", the deaf old woman handed the grain book to Yi Zhonghai and his wife and acknowledged him as her "godson", with the main purpose of "respecting the elderly".

In the same year, Ma Youcai, a resident of the Central Courtyard Hall, was murdered on his way home from get off work. His distant nephew Ma Yonglu took over his job at the steel rolling mill and became Yi Zhonghai's apprentice.

In 1956, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill officially implemented the "eight-level worker grade system". Yi Zhonghai was rated as a "seventh-level fitter" and Liu Haizhong was rated as a "sixth-level forger". In order to improve the status of workers, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were once again appointed as "managers" by the street office.

In 1957, Zhou Zheng was promoted to the high school department of Jingshan Middle School with full marks, but Wan Jingliang, Tan Xuedong, Wang Shengli, Zhao Jianguo, and Xu Jianjun graduated one after another.

Wan Jingliang joined the fire department as an ordinary employee.

Tan Xuedong joined the Sijiucheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative and worked as a purchasing agent.

Wang Shengli went to Chengnan Textile Factory and worked in warehouse management.

Zhao Jianguo and Xu Jianjun joined the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and served as line leaders (team leaders) of workshop one and workshop three respectively.

Then there are the girls who are close to Zhou Zheng.

Zhao Ruoruo became the official manager of her family's dim sum shop.

Su Mengqiu was admitted to a technical secondary school.

Ran Qiuye was admitted to a normal school.

Zhong Xiaolu was admitted to medical school.

Tian Xinyue was promoted to the high school department of Jingshan Middle School along with Zhou Zheng.

In fact, in this era, those who get into high school don’t have as many good choices as they do, but as long as they can get into college, they can completely change their destiny.

By the way, Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong this year and her fate changed completely.

What remains unchanged is that she was still pregnant when she left, but this time it was not Sha Zhu's.

In 1958, famine came, and it was far more brutal than described in history textbooks.

Some fell down on the road and never got up again;

Some people die from bloating because they can't defecate.

Some people exchanged their starving children with others for food with tears in their eyes;

Some people cut off the flesh from their thighs and stuffed them with hay just to keep their families alive.

This was just the beginning. Zhou Zheng was very sad because he was the only one who knew that such a disaster would last another three years.

Zhou Zheng also helped them, but...

Haha, these days, as long as you give out food, there will be people who risk their lives to grab it. People who are starving don’t care whether you are good or evil.

He was somewhat disappointed but at the same time understandable, he felt uncomfortable.

On the contrary, the business on the "black market" was extremely hot, the price of grain kept rising, the money of the "Yanhe Gang" was also increasing, and Zhou Zheng's system points were accumulating at a rapid rate every day.

When he accumulated the first 100 million, he organized a [Lottery for All Items].

The prize is not that good, it is a [Doraemon's food wallpaper].

For this purpose, Zhou Zheng even memorized the names of dishes from the "Manchu-Han Banquet".

In 1959, there was finally news about "Old Li", who had disappeared for five years. It was said that he had suffered a brain injury on the way back to Sijiucheng in 5 and became demented. His nephew had been taking care of him for five years. It was not until "Old Li" was dying that he remembered what had happened and asked his nephew Li Guofu to go to Sijiucheng to take over his position at the scrap yard.

It's funny to say that on the second day after Li Guofu arrived at the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, he had a quarrel with Jia Zhang and died in the house at night.

No one else "traveled through time" again, so Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui prepared a mat for him and buried him directly in the back mountain.

"Old Li's" house was also ransacked.

In the end, "Lao Li's" house was transferred to Yan Fugui, and Yan Jiecheng moved in.

In 1960, Xu Chengzhou died of a work-related accident. His wife Wang Cuicui moved out of the courtyard house with their son Xu Haitao, and the house was transferred to his younger brother Xu Chengye.

In the same year, Xu Chengye married Liu Yufeng, the daughter of Liu Cheng from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

At the wedding, Zhou Zheng saw "Director Little Li" - Li Huaide for the first time.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had his hair combed neatly. He looked very energetic, which was very different from his image in the TV series. He looked like a nobleman who came to the Red Star Steel Mill to gild himself.

When he arrived at the yard, he saw Zhou Zheng at first sight, so he went up to him and started chatting with him.

Good-looking people can always get along well, right?

This proves that "Director Xiao Li" has a good vision and knows who is the most powerful in the hospital.

Zhou Zheng also liked to listen to him bragging, he was very cheerful and free and easy.

However, it was also in this year that Hu Qian was assigned to another unit and left the military control compound.

Zhou Zheng personally sent this cheap aunt to the train.

She said, "Xiao Zheng, you have grown up in the blink of an eye. You are no longer that little kid. Auntie has a secret message for you. Your mother Wanrong should be back soon. You will be able to see her then. Are you happy? Alas, I don't know when I will be back after leaving this time. You should take care of yourself."

Zhou Zheng was a little dazed that day. Hu Qian had helped him a lot over the years, and he was reluctant to part with her when it was time to do so.

In the end, he quietly exchanged 10 "healing pills" in the system mall and gave them to Hu Qian, hoping that she would be safe and happy.

But every time he thought about the fact that Hu Qian still hasn't married because of Zhou Yunhai, he felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Maybe that is love, but Zhou Yunhai can't enjoy it.

……

1961, the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Sijiucheng, No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, Middle Courtyard.

A little boy in a yellow cloth jacket sneaked into He Yuzhu's house. He had a bowl-cut hairstyle and two black eyes that rolled around in his triangular eyes. His shifty look made it clear at a glance that he was going to do something bad.

Behind him followed a little girl in a red flowered jacket, with delicate features, and she looked like a beauty at first glance.

But she was dodging eyes and looking around, obviously keeping watch on the boy, which was not a good thing either.

These are the Banggeng siblings.

"Brother~" Jia Dang called softly.

"Shh, don't make any noise. If someone comes over, just meow like a cat, meow~"

Jia Dang is Qin Huairu's second daughter. She was born in 1955 and is six years old this year, but she doesn't go to school. She follows Bang Geng around stealing things all day long and has a very bad heart.

But people in the Intermediate Court said that the brother and sister were "smart" and "intelligent since childhood", so the "bad kids" became "good kids", and people like He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai liked the brother and sister very much.

Zhou Zheng just came out of He Yushui's room and saw this scene.

So I followed them quietly.

After Bang Geng sneaked into He Yuzhu's house, he quickly covered Xiao Dang's mouth, then held He Yuzhu's door and shouted, "Catch the thief! There's a thief in the yard."

After six years of continuous training, with the help of the "Qi and Blood Pill", Zhou Zheng has become a "congenital master".

His voice was powerful and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the front, middle and back yards could hear it clearly.

Immediately, all the residents who were able to move at home rushed to the central courtyard.

Jia Zhang was the first one to run out to watch the fun.

"Thief, where did this thief come from? Where is the thief? Has he been killed?"

She asked three questions in a row, which made Zhou Zheng stunned. He thought: "Haha, this guy doesn't know that there is a good joke in it yet."

Bang Geng panicked and banged on the door frantically.

"Let me out now, I'm not a thief."

When Jia Zhang heard Banggeng's voice, her face suddenly changed.

"Bang Geng, it's Bang Geng, my dear grandson. Zhou Zheng, you bastard, why did you lock my Bang Geng in the house?"

Then she saw Xiao Dang being held in Zhou Zheng's arms, and immediately shouted:

"Rogue, catch the rogue, Zhou Zheng, that bastard, robbed an ignorant six-year-old girl."

Then she said to Zhou Zheng in a stern voice: "Zhou Zheng, let Xiao Dang go quickly. Where are you putting your hands? You are touching the little girl's breasts. You are shameless. Let go!"

At this time, the residents in the yard also arrived at the scene one after another.

Yi Zhonghai said gloomily: "Xiao Zhou, what's going on?"
