Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

While talking, Jia Zhang took out two eggs from the basket she was carrying and handed them to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, don't be picky. This is just a little gift from my auntie. I hope you can share in the good fortune."

Looking at the two eggs wrapped in red paper handed over by Jia Zhang, He Yuzhu understood.

This is Qin Huairu giving birth.

Yes, if you calculate the time, Qin Huairu was already a little pregnant when I saw her during the Chinese New Year.

It's August now, isn't it time to give birth?

It should be said that Jia Dongxu is doing well. He got married in August last year and had a child in August this year.

awesome.

As he thought about it, He Yuzhu unconsciously looked towards the east wing and... the backyard.

He Yuzhu realized something was wrong and immediately shook his head in a pretentious manner, then took the egg from Jia Zhang's hand.

"Oh, auntie, look at what you said. It's already a gift of phoenix eggs to bring good luck, so what else can you complain about? From this point of view, Sister Jia has given you a big fat baby. As the saying goes, the phoenix never lands in a place without happiness. I think, auntie, you can just enjoy your life from now on."

Anyway, it's just a few compliments, it doesn't matter what you say, and it can make people die without any loss of life, so why not do it?

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Jia Zhang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Oh ha ha ha, that's why they say you are the most promising person in the whole compound, no, in the whole alley. You really know how to coax people."

He Yuzhu also pretended to be serious at the right time.

"Hey, auntie, I don't like to hear that. What do you mean by coaxing? This is clearly the truth."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu also started laughing.

"Hey, hey, you're the only one who can say it, so I'll lend you my good words."

Jia Zhang said this and patted He Yuzhu's arm.

"I won't disturb you from resting. You've been tired all day. Go back to your room and rest. I have to go to the next house."

"Hey, auntie, you go ahead and do your work."

He Yuzhu played with the two eggs in his hand, politely sent them away to the cheerful Jia Zhang, and went home.

After all, he is still sweating all over, so he has to wash up.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The Jia family’s full moon banquet was also held.

This time, He Yuzhu happened to be on shift and had a break. Moreover, the Jia family did not come to ask He Yuzhu to be a cook or introduce a cook.

After paying 2 taels of brown sugar, He Yuzhu took He Yushui to the table with peace of mind.

Logically speaking, for a banquet like this one set up in the courtyard, each family should contribute one person.

However, since they were just kids, the food they ate looked like cat food, so no one said anything.

Look, Yan Bugui was muttering quietly at the side, "What a loss, what a loss, the second and third children are too young, they can't do anything if they come out."

But Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting next to Yan Bugui, was interesting.

While responding to the boasting of Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong who were sitting on both sides of him with "Yeah, this is hey, hey", he stared at Qin Huairu intently.

From time to time, a "pervert" expression can be seen on his face.

However, if you observe carefully, you can find that what Yi Zhonghai has been looking at is actually the stick root named Jia Geng by Jia Zhang.

This is understandable.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is almost 40 years old now, but still has no children.

In the compound, his next generation all have their next generation, but he still has no next generation.

But maybe that's because he's not even 40 yet.

Therefore, He Yuzhu was in the yard and had not heard that Yi Zhonghai had any special care for the Jia family.

It's almost the same. Now Yi Zhonghai basically treats everyone in the yard as "wherever there is need".

"Zhu Zi, do you think work is fun?"

Xu Damao, who came out on behalf of his family, looked at the adults at the table chatting happily. He nudged He Yuzhu beside him out of boredom and made up conversation in a low voice.

"Well, it's okay. There's nothing fun about work, and it's tiring."

He Yuzhu, who was originally bored listening to the "adults" at the same table talking, also started to make small talk.

"No, if you ask me, it's fun to go to work. But it's really tiring. My dad made me fold such a big and heavy curtain by myself. Also, my dad made me carry such a heavy and expensive player by myself. It's tiring for me."

Listen to Xu Damao's words and match his face.

He Yuzhu didn't know for a moment whether Xu Damao was showing off or complaining.

However, He Yuzhu had a question.

"You're at work?"

"That's not the case."

Xu Damao shook his head, then looked around cautiously, and when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he turned his head to the side.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu also moved his head closer to Xu Damao.

Now, a donkey face and a pig kidney face got together and started whispering.

"Zhu Zi, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

Don’t think that Xu Damao is already 14 years old now.

However, after all, they are not adults, so it is normal for them to speak in a childish manner.

But He Yuzhu, this "greasy middle-aged man", is not normal.

"Yeah, well, you say it, I won't tell anyone."

"Let me tell you, my dad said that the current situation at the factory is not right. So, starting from the summer vacation, he took me to the factory to learn projection. Even though school has started now, my dad still has to teach me for a while every night when I go home."

But Xu Damao didn't know it and was just showing off by talking big.

In fact, he was just short of making a promise with his chest patted.

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. When we start showing the movie, no matter what time it is, we will definitely reserve a front row seat for you."

As soon as Xu Damao said this, He Yuzhu got goosebumps instantly.

It has been more than three to four years since he traveled through time.

My interactions with Xu Damao were basically just like greetings between neighbors.

If you say how close we are or how close we are as childhood friends, you would definitely be lying.

But now, Xu Damao's solemn "good brothers" attitude is really a bit abnormal.

This made He Yuzhu think of a possibility.

It can’t be said to be possible, it’s just a different opinion of netizens in later generations.

It is said that in the drama, the screenwriter actually buried a very deep love line, that is He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

Haven’t you seen that after Xu Damao got married, He Yuzhu targeted him again and again?

After He Yuzhu got married, Xu Damao repeatedly targeted He Yuzhu.

Two people eating each other...

Eh... I can’t go on.

He Yuzhu shook his shoulders, straightened his body, and even quietly moved to the side.

"Da Mao, thank you so much."

"Hey, we're all childhood friends, what's the big deal?"

But Xu Damao didn't notice He Yuzhu's little action at all, and looked like they were just good brothers.

"Turn around slowly, it's oily~~"

With the sound of the workers in the kitchen serving the dishes, the full moon banquet officially began.

The food was served and Xu Damao no longer had time to argue with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu also focused on picking up food for He Yushui.

For a moment, apart from the occasional voices of Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, the only sound at the table was the sound of eating.

As Jia Jiabanggeng's full-moon banquet came to an end, He Yuzhu's unit also began to get busy.

It’s October again, and this year is the “third anniversary” and the “fourth time”.

As in previous years, we conducted investigations, visits, patrols and stood guard.

This happens year after year, and He Yuzhu's colleagues in the unit don't even need to look at the work schedule anymore, as they have become proficient in their own positions.

As usual, after this busy month, everyone can take turns to rest.

But unexpectedly, Master Sun waved his hand and gave all employees two days off.

Even the usual staff on duty were not left.

Although everyone including He Yuzhu was confused.

However, no matter how confused I am, after being busy for such a long time, who doesn’t like to have a holiday?

But who could have thought that after coming back from the two-day vacation.

There is no one left in their unit.

There's really no one left.

Now there are only 6 people left in the unit compound, including He Yuzhu, who still come to work.

None of the district managers and district assistants who usually come here to report for duty have shown up.

Even Master Sun didn't come.

Everyone looked at each other, staring at each other.

"Cough cough."

Just when everyone thought that the six people were fired without being told, Master Sun came in with his people.

"Everyone, first of all, congratulations to you all. From now on, you won't have to go to the districts all day to investigate. Come on, let's all cheer and celebrate for escaping from the sea of ​​suffering."

Although the six people including He Yuzhu were all confused.

However, since the direct supervisor has spoken, everyone has to give him some face.

In an instant, there was warm applause from the people behind Master Sun.

On one side, there were sparse and perfunctory clapping sounds, led by He Yuzhu.

Master Sun didn't care. He pressed his palms in the air and continued talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been decided that our East Fourth District will now start the establishment of a typical pilot residents' committee. Now, I will announce the districts and district leaders that need to establish residents' committees." (Note 1)

As he spoke, Master Sun didn't care whether everyone was listening attentively or not. He just took out the document he had prepared long ago and started reading.

"Zhao Yanhong, Nanluoguxiang. XXX, XXXX. XX, XXXXX..."

My goodness, after Master Sun recited for a long time, he didn’t even mention the names of He Yuzhu and the other six.

Now, except for He Yuzhu who felt a little confident, the other five people couldn't sit still and began to whisper to each other while listening carefully to Master Sun reading the area.

But they were disappointed.

When Master Sun closed the file, he didn't read their names.

"Report".

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, shouted "report" and stood up.

Master Sun waved his hand, signaling him to speak.

"Report to the commander, why are we not in there? I want to know where our area is?"

After he finished speaking, Master Sun waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

"You guys, your superiors have made other arrangements. Now, does anyone else have any questions?"

Master Sun glanced at He Yuzhu and the other six.

After waiting for a while and no one said anything, Master Sun just waved his hand behind him.

"Well, let's start the handover now."

(Note 1: At that time, Nanluoguxiang, or Jiaodaokou, belonged to the Dongsi District, and was later transferred to Dongcheng District. The exact time of transfer is unknown. In October 52, the higher authorities began to establish neighborhood committees in Dongdan, Xidan, Dongsi, and Xuanwu as a pilot. It is still unknown whether there is a Nanluoguxiang. Here, for the plot, we will assume that there is one. As for the street office, it was not proposed until June 10, 53. It was confirmed on June 6, and it was not until the summer of 8 that it was completed. Off topic, normally, the first recognized neighborhood committee is the Baoxingli Residents Welfare Committee established on December 6, 30 in Shanghai. The specific information is in the notes in Chapter 54 "Promotion", so I will not write it here.)
