Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

He Yushui also calmed down a little at this time.

"Brother Bowen, I'm speaking from the heart!"

"I know, I know! But no matter what, we have to think about it carefully, right?" Li Bowen continued to comfort.

At this time, the sound of the door opening next door was heard, and both of them knew that He Yuzhu had returned.

"Yu Shui, your brother is back. Can we talk about our things later? It would be bad if he saw us now!" Li Bowen said hurriedly, trying to get away quickly.

He Yushui also knew that it might be unrealistic for him to agree now, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "Well, I'll wait for your answer. No matter when it is, I won't change!"

After opening the door, the two came out of He Yushui's room and noticed that the curtains behind the windows opposite and next door were shaking, obviously someone was peeping.

"Pah!" He Yushui spat, "Aren't you afraid of getting stye and going blind?"

She just wanted the people behind the curtain to hear her, so she spoke quite loudly.

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the room, he heard He Yushui's scolding, and stepped back and walked out: "What's wrong with Yushui? Bowen is here too!"

"It's okay, I'm just trying out the insoles for Brother Bowen. Someone is watching to see if I'm cheating on their man!" He Yushui glanced at the Jia family and the Yi family, and said angrily.

"Stop shouting. Aren't you ashamed of a grown woman shouting like that? Come into the house quickly!" Not only did He Yuzhu not help, but he also talked about her, which made Yu Shui very unhappy.

"I won't go over there. You two stay here by yourselves!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

He Yuzhu didn't realize the problem at all: "Look at this girl!"

"Okay, okay, let Yu Shui go back and rest! Let's go back to the house!" Li Bowen was too lazy to explain, and pulled He Yuzhu back to his house.

After entering the house, He Yuzhu excitedly took his schoolbag and said, "Bowen, today's business was great! We all went out in no time!"

"Did we run into a big player?"

"Of course not. Guess who bought it?" He Yuzhu kept it a secret.

"Who is it? It can't be a government official!"

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Hey, you're not going to say it was really bought by a government official! Do you remember the investigation of the black market some time ago?"

Li Bowen nodded: "Yes"

"It was bought by one of their people. They covered it very tightly. I really thought I couldn't see it. He chased me for several blocks, shouting and yelling. As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was that person!"

"How dare you sell it to him? Haven't you been followed by others?" Li Bowen couldn't help but feel nervous.

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Don't worry, I checked everything when I came back, and even went to a few more alleys on purpose. No one followed me. They are also human beings. If they were not under pressure from work, you would think they were willing to do that. Every time I checked them before, I wanted to beat gongs and drums two miles away. Now that the New Year is coming soon, everyone has to prepare something!"

What he said makes sense. As human beings, we need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. The one who only takes in but doesn't give out is a Pi Xiu.

"So many at once, I'm afraid they purchased it all at once!"

"Of course it is. Don't you think that if their company goes to the countryside to purchase goods, there will be villagers who will sell them to them. Now that they can't purchase goods with the formal procedures, they have to think of other ways."

Li Bowen agreed with this view, but still reminded: "It is better not to do this kind of thing in the future, it is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Looking at He Yuzhu's nonchalant expression, Li Bowen felt that he might have been overthinking it. This kind of thing should be quite common nowadays. He had been in the workshop before and didn't understand the situation, but He Yuzhu was in the logistics department and should have seen a lot of it.

Since he is confident, I don't have to worry too much.

After dividing the money, the two packed up and went back to their rooms to sleep. The nights in the 60s were so boring, especially in winter when it got dark early. There were no mobile phones or televisions. Married people had wives, but single people could only lie in bed and make love.

Although Li Bowen is not single, he is the only one lying on the bed now. He entered the space and took a look. Nothing has changed. He doesn't know where Wu Lei is going. There has been no news for several days. He exited the space, tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about what happened today.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes again it was already bright.

He Yuzhu was sitting at the table slurping corn porridge: "Get up, hurry up, Yushui came over to make breakfast this morning!"

"Where is she?" Li Bowen looked around.

"She has already gone to work. She lives far away and has to catch the bus! I told her to just live in the company dormitory to avoid running back and forth, but she didn't want to!" He Yuzhu muttered while chewing a steamed bun.

Li Bowen certainly knew why He Yushui didn't live in the dormitory: "How can a dormitory be as comfortable as living at home? Anyway, there is a direct bus, so you can run back and forth. You don't need the money for the ticket."

"Yeah, let her do it. What are you going to do today? Are you going to the factory again?"

"I have to go. The New Year is coming soon and we have too much work to do in our department. The section chief asked us to go to the meeting today to receive the tasks! Oh, it's so frustrating!" Li Bowen sighed. When he left yesterday, Section Chief Gao reminded him that he must come today because the tasks assigned by the factory have come down. If he doesn't come, the easy jobs will be picked up by others, and he will have to consider himself unlucky.

He Yuzhu nodded: "It's the same for us. The New Year is coming soon. The factory leaders said that we should prepare something good for the workers to eat, but what should we eat? There are only cabbage and potatoes. There are not even enough eggs for one person, let alone meat!"

"Okay, it's good enough that we can take care of ourselves these days. It will be fine in two years! Let's go to work!" Li Bowen quickly finished the steamed bread in his hand, then drank the corn porridge and cleaned it up.

After closing the door, the two walked out side by side. Just as they reached the middle of the yard, the door of the west room opened and Qin Huairu came out with a big belly. She looked at the two of them, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

The two of them paused at the same time. He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Bowen, you go ahead. I forgot something and will go back to get it. I will catch up with you soon!"

Li Bowen looked at Qin Huairu and then at He Yuzhu. Is this guy starting to lick now?

But he didn't say anything: "Okay, then you hurry up! I'll walk slowly first."

After seeing Li Bowen leave the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu walked up to Qin Huairu and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Qin?"

"Zhu Zi, this is what's going on. We're running out of food at home. You see, I'm not feeling well. Can you help me buy some food?"

He Yuzhu didn't even think about the money, and agreed directly: "Okay, it's not a big deal, I'll buy it for you when I get off work tonight, where is your family's food certificate?"

"The ration has been used up long ago!" Qin Huairu was still a little embarrassed. The ration was so small. Jia Zhang moved back at the beginning of the month and they ate as much as they wanted since they had food. But now, only half a month had passed and the food was already gone.

Just because there was no ration, Jia Zhang instigated Qin Huairu to find He Yuzhu and told her to pay for the expensive grain. However, Jia Zhang didn't want to pay, which made Qin Huairu very embarrassed.
