I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

After the first month of the first month of the birth of her youngest son He Xiao, Qin Huairu returned to work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. In order to improve his relationship with Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai immediately stepped forward and took over the task of taking care of the baby.

"You two can go to work without worry, and the child will be left to your Aunt Yi. Zhuzi, you are a father now, so you must be steady in what you do." Yi Zhonghai looked righteous and did not forget to lecture Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was also worried! There was no one at home to take care of the baby, so he couldn't just hand the baby over to Jia Zhang, right? Now that Yi Zhonghai had solved his problem, his attitude towards Yi Zhonghai had improved a lot.

The deaf old lady is now very old! She used to stop going out, but her grandson gave her a great-grandson. Every day, she walks to the east wing to see the baby, trembling with a cane and grinning with her toothless mouth.

Seeing everyone revolving around the baby, Jiang Banggeng was so jealous that his teeth were itching. He graduated from junior high school this year and started to idle around. Now there are no jobs available outside, so he is waiting for his parents to retire so that he can take over the job.

The street office has started to register every household. Educated youth go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Go to the countryside, there is a vast world to do a lot. Large slogans are all over the walls!

Jia Zhang began to force Qin Huairu to give up her job at the steel mill to Bang Geng. This job belonged to him, Lao Jia, and now it was just returned to its original owner.

Qin Huairu worked in the workshop of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for seven years, and she just muddled through every day. She is still an apprentice now, earning 27.5 yuan a month. She herself has no confidence in working!

This is a good idea! He gave the job back to his eldest son Banggeng, and he stayed at home to focus on raising his younger son. Shazhu had a high salary, and he could also go out to earn extra money, which was enough to support the family.

But when she went to the personnel department of the steel rolling mill to ask, she was told that the personnel department now has a regulation that no one can take over the job if they have not reached retirement age or have a physical illness.

She is only 35 years old this year and has no health problems. It is impossible for her to give up her job to Banggeng.

Seeing that she didn't achieve her goal, Jia Zhang became anxious! She took Qin Huairu to the backyard to find Xu Yueling, hoping to ask her for help.

Jingyi clearly told them that this was a national regulation and she could not help them at all. Don't let them lose their jobs in the end! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were frightened by her and could only return in anger.

This Banggeng was destined to go to northern Shaanxi to repair the earth, and she didn't want to change Banggeng's fate.

In September, Jingyi sent seven-year-old Jia Huaihua to school. Originally, she still had a year to go to school, but under Jingyi's guidance, she was already qualified to go to school.

Jingyi used her connections to get her into East Chang'an Street Primary School. The teaching quality of Heizhima Hutong Primary School here is too poor. Yushui was able to get into a technical secondary school because of Jingyi's supervision and Yushui's own efforts. It has nothing to do with the school's teaching!

Now Banggeng was sixteen years old and could no longer sleep on the same kang with his two sisters. Qin Huairu cleaned the east wing and asked her two daughters to move in.

The two sisters had their own rooms, and Huaihua would sometimes secretly bring some things back to the east ear room and share some with her sister Xiaodang.

In October, the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office went to No. 95 Siheyuan to do work. This time, there were seven people in the courtyard who met the conditions for going to the countryside, including the two siblings Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi from the Yan family, and Jia Geng from the Jia family.

When the list of names posted by the subdistrict office was posted, Jia Zhang hugged her beloved grandson and burst into tears. Her beloved grandson was only sixteen years old, how could he go to such a wild place? But the subdistrict office made it very clear that this was a national policy, so who dared to violate it?

Banggeng was assigned to the Great Northern Wilderness! Jia Zhangshi only knew that it was a place where one would freeze immediately if he peed, so it was really not a good place to be.

When she heard that someone from the hospital had been assigned to northern Shaanxi, she immediately insisted that her son Bang Geng also go there. The subdistrict office was annoyed by her making a fuss every day, so they replaced him.

When Jingyi found out about this, she was amused by Jia Zhang's trick! What kind of place is the Great Northern Wilderness? It is said that you can hit roe deer with a stick, scoop fish with a ladle, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. It is a little cold in winter, but you don't have to work in winter! There are abundant natural resources in that place, at least you don't have to starve.

What kind of place is northern Shaanxi? Loess plateaus, with no green in sight. The most difficult thing is the lack of water there. Farming requires carrying water from more than ten miles away, which is a very strenuous job.

After ten days of preparation at home, the whole family sent Banggeng on a train to the west with many bags and bags. Thus, Banggeng started his life in the production team in northern Shaanxi.

On the other hand, Yan Bugui's face was full of smiles. The two idlers in the family could finally support themselves, and his burden was lightened by more than half.

Near the end of the year, Jingyi suddenly received a call from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. They said that the Ministry had commissioned Hong Kong businessmen to purchase a batch of advanced Western machinery and equipment, and asked the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to send several technical engineers to inspect and accept the goods.

Hmm? Let's go to Hong Kong. I haven't heard from the Lou family for a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to go over there and take a look.

After Jingyi made up her mind, she immediately selected the two best mechanical engineers in the steel mill and submitted her own name.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill now implements the production quality management system regulations and a series of reward and punishment regulations that she has improved. Although bonuses cannot be issued during this period, some rewards and meal allowances can be given. The workshop workers are full of energy, and the factory can operate normally even without Jingyi.

The time given was very urgent, so she and two engineers boarded a sleeper train heading south that night.

She picked up little Huaihua from school and entrusted her to Shazhu. She had to go on a business trip, so Shazhu would take Huaihua to school when she was away.

According to the information given above, the buyer in Hong Kong is Lou's Import and Export Trading Company. When they arrive in Hong Kong, the client will send someone to pick them up.

It took three days and four nights to reach Guangzhou. Then, under the guidance of the liaison officer, we boarded the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, a freight train that transported daily supplies to Hong Kong. The train passed the Luohu Bridge and finally entered the territory of Hong Kong.

The train stopped at Kowloon Station, and Jingyi got off with two mechanical engineers. On the platform, 32-year-old Lou Qigang had been waiting for a long time.

"Hello, Mr. Lou Qigang. We are the personnel sent from China to inspect the equipment. My name is Xu Yueling."

When Jingyi saw Lou Qigang, she walked straight up to him and introduced herself in Cantonese before the two engineers caught up with her.

Lou Qigang looked at the beautiful lady in front of him in astonishment. He hadn't introduced himself yet, so how did the lady know his name?

"Your uncle Lou Zhenhua and I are old acquaintances. You can go and inform him." Jingyi quickly added.

At this time, two engineers came over with their luggage. After a brief exchange of greetings, Lou Qigang took them out of the platform and got into a car to head to the main island of Hong Kong.

Jingyi sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the streets of Hong Kong, strange yet familiar. It was the end of 1968, and in her previous life she was attending elementary school at the Diocesan Girls' School.

More than 70 years have passed in a flash, yet it seems like just a snap of a finger. This feeling is indescribable, just like a dream.
