Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai got up early and went to the door of his house with his hands behind his back. He knocked on the door. Jia Zhang was dreaming in the room. In the dream, her old Jia had come back to life and bought him a big pork elbow on the table. Jia Dongxu was also very filial and poured wine for her.

In the dream, Jia Zhang looked just like a young lady. Just when she wanted to taste the big mouth full of fat and greasy food, there was a rapid knock on the door. But Jia Zhang was so angry that she yelled at the top of her voice, "Who is this damned bastard? Don't you know I'm still sleeping? You disturbed my sweet dream. I curse him to give birth to a son without an asshole."

Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and started to curse, and then she wanted to go back to sleep. But Yi Zhonghai, who was standing outside the door, was so angry that his face darkened and he said, "Sister Jia, it's me, Yi Zhonghai. Hurry up and get up. You have to take over today. Have you forgotten?"

Jia Zhang was confused, and she yawned before she realized what was going on. She really didn't want to go to work. What kind of work was that? Wouldn't it be better to sleep comfortably at home? Xu Erni next to her said timidly, "Mom, please get up quickly, don't let Master Yi wait too anxiously."

Jia Zhang stood up and cursed. The hardships of life had pushed Jia Zhang to her limits. Her old face was full of anger, and her expression was very ugly. For someone who was used to living a peaceful life, no one could accept it if she gave up her enjoyable life and suffered.

After wiping his face, he glared at his daughter-in-law next to him fiercely, feeling so depressed. His daughter-in-law was really useless. Jia Zhang was already very old, but he didn't expect that she would have to suffer for her family when she was old. He felt so annoyed.

She could only hope that her daughter-in-law would give birth to a child sooner rather than later, so that she could let her daughter-in-law go to work and she, the old woman, could continue to be a tyrant at home. As for whether she could control Xu Erni, Jia Zhang thought that was not a problem at all.

The Xu family had been kind to Xu Erni before, but the living conditions in the countryside had been so bad in recent years, and they couldn't even fill their own stomachs, so how could they care about the life and death of a married daughter? Xu Erni knew this, so she knew in her heart that her parents' family would not help her, so she could only stay in the city shamelessly.

Yi Zhonghai waited outside for half an hour with a dark face, and Jia Zhang finally opened the door reluctantly. Her face was so ugly, Yi Zhonghai really didn't expect Jia Zhang's face to be uglier than his own, which made Yi Zhonghai very speechless.

Yi Zhonghai had a cold face. Now their two families only had private transactions and no feelings. He curled his lips and said, "Okay, you should pack up quickly. The steel mill will start working at about 8 o'clock. We have to go early." Jia Zhang really didn't want to do any work. She wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai again, but Yi Zhonghai didn't want to pay attention to him at all. After saying this, he went straight into the house to eat.

The neighbors in the courtyard gradually got up. Life has taught people the meaning of "accepting what is given to you". If you don't go out to work these days, your neighbors won't look down on you, and the government won't support lazy people. Giving you relief food for free is absolutely impossible.

In this era, even if you are in your 50s or 60s, you still have to contribute your own efforts to your family. Although these aunts in the courtyards don't work every day, every spring, these aunts will go to the mountains outside the city in groups to dig some wild vegetables and use them as their staple food.

After Qin Huairu and his wife finished their breakfast, they were not in a hurry to go to work in the factory. They each had a bicycle and would never be late. They sat on stools, drinking tea and talking about things in the steel mill.

"Brother, sister-in-law, our teacher is coming to visit our home tonight, you should prepare to receive him." He Yushui next to him said this out of the blue, which frightened He Yuzhu. His face was as black as charcoal and he said, "Girl, did you get into trouble at school? Why do you always come to visit your home?"

It's not that He Yuzhu is overly nervous. In his previous life, whenever he made trouble in school, the responsible class teacher would call his parents. Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, Zhuzi, what nonsense are you talking about? Yushui's grades are among the top in the class, and she is also a good student in the class. Why do you miss your sister so much? How could Yushui make trouble? You are overthinking."

He Yushui looked at his brother with a dark face, thinking that his brother really underestimated him! He Yuzhu blushed and looked at his sister awkwardly. He grinned and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that. I thought you got into trouble in school and the teacher wanted to visit your home."

He Yushui's face turned even darker, and she complained, "Brother, I am your dearest sister! How could you think of me like this?" He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's my brother's fault. Isn't it okay to say it's my brother's fault? Don't be angry anymore, little girl."

He Yushui rolled his eyes, sat next to his brother, took his brother's hand and said, "No, you, as a brother, have wronged your lovely sister. You must give me some financial compensation." He Yuzhu shook his head with a wry smile, looked at his sister and said, "Oh, you little girl, it seems that you have other intentions. Tell me, what's in your mind?"

He Yushui smiled awkwardly, and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother, I saw a dress in the state-owned store, but the price is a little high." He Yushui smiled and acted like a spoiled child. He Yuzhu looked calm, took a sip of tea and said, "It's a little high. What is the range of this point? Can you tell me about it?"

He Yushui blushed, smiled and said, "I heard from my classmates that the skirt is a foreign product. It seems to be called something? Bragi. The price is 35 yuan. I want it."
