Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Although she no longer has Yi Zhonghai's support, she can still make a living in the courtyard just by being shameless, throwing tantrums and making trouble. Jia Dongxu is helpless. When she came out, the news had already reached her from the countryside. Sending her there would be like letting her die.

With only one person working and reduced food rations, he could not afford to feed a family of five. He deceived people like this for more than two years. Then he heard that Qin Huairu was pregnant with her third child.

Now, without He Yuzhu to bring her lunch box, Qin Huairu can never have enough food. Even if Jia Dongxu tries to save money, there is still an old man at home who is always worried about eating cornmeal. Qin Huairu looks very unhappy. If Yi Zhonghai hadn't sent her some cornmeal from time to time, the family wouldn't even be able to afford to eat.

Yi Zhonghai's life was pretty good. His demoted work grade was restored to level seven. He had insufficient food and had to go out to buy expensive food. After all, there were only two of them, and the deaf old lady couldn't eat much. Life was much better with money.

According to what the deaf old lady taught, not long after Jia Zhang was imprisoned, news gradually spread around the courtyard about Yi Zhonghai taking care of his brothers' wives and sons, and now even the manager has no job.

Although Jia Dongxu had distanced himself from Yi Zhonghai for a while, as there was no one to teach him in the factory and he heard these rumors, he naturally returned to Yi Zhonghai's side. However, he has not yet been promoted to a fourth-level worker.

Liu Haizhong is still a level seven worker, having entered the level seven one year earlier than Yi Zhonghai, but he just failed the exam. However, he got his son into the factory, which was a bit of consolation. However, the habit of beating his son could not be changed. The second son has already started working, still in a machinery factory. Liu Guangfu is miserable, and when he encounters Liu Haizhong who has a bad temper, he will beat him nine times in three days.

Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the room, was awakened by the calls of "Uncle". He Xiao ran over with his short legs. Jiang Feng went forward and hugged He Xiao. He Xiao kept saying, "Uncle, eat, eat."

Jiang Feng turned around, closed the door, and walked towards the central courtyard with He Xiao in his arms. He was now cooking and eating at the He family again. As soon as he entered the house, He Yuzhu and others were waiting for him. There was a baby sleeping in the cradle beside him. The He family had given birth to their second child, a daughter named He Min. She was only 8 months old now. He Xiao's cradle was moved out again and could be used by her younger sister.

When Li Xiaoyan became pregnant, He Yuzhu was very worried. How could she get enough nutrition if she ate the food provided in the hospital every day?

Jiang Feng came up with an idea and went back to his mother's house to stay for a few days, which was not far from the yard. He took Xiaoyan to the yard and fed her occasionally. In this way, the child weighed only more than four kilograms when he was born.

Jiang Feng looked at He Min, picked up a steamed bun and started eating. He Yushui is now taking the college entrance examination.

After they finished their meal together, the baby in the cradle became restless again, so Li Xiaoyan quickly picked him up, changed his diaper, and fed him.

Seeing that the child had woken up, the others started chatting. Jiang Feng asked He Yushui, "You have finished the exams and applied for the college entrance examination, right?"

"Yes, I have filled out the application and passed the political review. The first choice is definitely Tsinghua or Peking University in the city. I chose the liberal arts and history major, and I don't know where I will be accepted."

Jiang Feng stroked his chin and thought, if he studied an ordinary major in college for four years, just in time for the wind to blow, he could only go the administrative route to get a clerk job in a factory. If he wanted to get a job in a factory, it would be best to be in the human resources department. The propaganda department was more troublesome, so he would just have to work steadily.

Said to He Yushui: "Literature and history are also OK, take a look first, it would be best if it is a school within the city, so you don't have to travel far. Have you written a letter to tell your uncle?"

"I wrote it. Dad also said that if I passed the exam, he would come back to celebrate with me."

"It's not easy to celebrate now. When the time comes, we can go to the yard over there and invite a few families to sit together. It will be lively. Forget about the yard."

He Yushui also knew the current situation and nodded, but now he could only wait. He Yuzhu now cooks less in the factory kitchen, and most of the work is assigned to the second and fifth brothers, unless Director Yang specifically asks them to do so.

Director Wang retired in a few years, and He Yuzhu took over. However, there are still opportunities in logistics. Director Li has the opportunity to become the deputy director this time. Director Wang is now in the process of promotion. This time he must have been promoted internally. He needs to be honest with He Yuzhu and maintain a good relationship with Director Li.

He Yuzhu also accepted a disciple. Ma Hua went to work in the factory kitchen. Under the guidance of Jiang Feng, He Yuzhu officially accepted Ma Hua and Liu Lan. As for the fat man, just leave him alone. Although with He Yuzhu's personality in the play, he deserves to be betrayed, but it is still offensive, so Jiang Feng did not mention him.

After dinner, the sister-in-law and He Yushui took He Xiao and He Min for a walk. Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu sat at the door. A cool breeze blew in from time to time. They smoked and drank tea. He Yuzhu asked, "Xiaofeng, you are 23 this year. Uncle Huang introduced several girls to you, but you didn't like them. If you don't get married, you will be a bachelor."

Jiang Feng smiled. All the people of similar age in the yard were married. Xu Damao found a girl from the countryside. She got pregnant less than two months after marriage, but Jiang Feng didn't care. Whoever the child was, Yan Jiecheng still married Yu Li. But his life should be better this time since he could work in a factory after all.

"No hurry, no hurry. Every family is in a difficult situation right now. Who with good conditions would be willing to marry off their daughter? Let's wait a little longer." Jiang Feng said, thinking that it was about time. If he dragged it on any longer, they would be dissatisfied. Uncle Huang and Uncle Liu were now dissatisfied with him.

He Yuzhu was also furious after hearing this. He didn't know how many times he had said this in the past two years. He stood up and said, "No, we can't put it off any longer. You always said you were busy and didn't have time. If you put it off any longer, you will really be single. How can I be worthy of my uncle and aunt?

You don't have to worry about this. I'll ask your sister-in-law to find someone. You can make time for blind dates. This is the last year. If it doesn't work out, you can just find someone to get married next year."

Seeing He Yuzhu's anxious look, Jiang Feng was helpless. He pulled him to sit down and said, "Okay, okay, let's look for it first. Once we find it, we can arrange it for the weekend. You know you have to work during the weekdays, so the weekend will be fine."

Seeing Jiang Feng agreed, He Yuzhu calmed down, took out a cigarette and they started smoking again. Not long after, Li Xiaoyan and He Yushui came back. He Yuzhu told them what had just happened. Even He Yushui became interested and said that there were a few good high school classmates who asked if he could help introduce them to his cousin.

Speaking of high school classmates, Jiang Feng thought of Yu Haitang. This woman is not to be messed with. Many people say that she got into the steel rolling mill with the help of Director Yang's nephew, and then kicked him out. In the play, she has ambiguous relationships with Xu Damao and He Yuzhu. It is said that she jumps very fast when the wind blows. Find her to come in, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble.

He quickly shook his head and said, "How old is your classmate? No, don't make trouble for me. Okay, I can find someone myself if I want to. I'll go out and ask Uncle Huang."

After saying that, he quickly got up, went to the front yard, met Yan Fugui, said hello, pushed his bicycle and went out. After going out, he looked left and right, got on the bike and slowly went to Huang Ming's house.

When they arrived at Huang Ming's house, only his aunt was playing with Xiaowei. Jiang Feng greeted them, took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Xiaowei who rushed over to him, then went into the house. Huang Ming was sitting at home, watching something, and when he saw Jiang Feng coming, he glanced at him without even saying hello.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, you are still angry with me. It's busy, and everyone has had a hard time in the past few years. If you really find someone, many things can't be hidden. Now that you are free, you can arrange it. I will wait for your notification, okay?"

After hearing this, Huang Ming finally raised his head, stared at Jiang Feng and said, "That's settled. You can't just come here and then refuse to do anything, and then pick on the little problem."

"It's settled, it's settled. Not only you, but Brother Zhuzi will also help ask. I'll go to Uncle Liu's place later and ask everyone to help look for it. It won't happen now. It's time to get married."

"Yes, this is the right idea. If you don't get married and carry on the family line, how can I be worthy of your father? If I run into him when I go downstairs, what will I say? I am still single."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Huang, you are right. Let's arrange it. I will go to Uncle Liu's place. You go ahead and do your work. I will notify you when there is something appropriate."

"No need to wait for notification, next weekend will be fine. I'll confirm the time tomorrow and come in the morning and afternoon."

"Uncle Huang, you are waiting for me. It's not the same girl as last time, is it?"

"No, she got married a long time ago. This time it's a big problem. I just happened to be a good match with you. I graduated from a technical secondary school at the age of 21. I started working in a bedding factory at the age of 18. My family was not well off. At that time, I wanted to help my family more. As a result, it became more and more difficult in the past few years, so it has been delayed until now.

But she is a pretty girl, with a good figure, educated, and reasonable. His brother is getting married this time, and he plans to give his job to his brother after the marriage. This is just the right time for you to meet her. "

Jiang Feng heard that this was not okay. This was not the Voldemort of later generations. This one was helping his brother instead. He quickly declined and said, "Uncle Huang, is this okay? She is too family-oriented. Will she still be like this after marriage?"

"Probably not. The reason she didn't agree was that she was still an intern and couldn't give up her work position. Her parents were honest people who made a living by doing odd jobs at the street office and pulling rickshaws. Her eldest brother stopped studying after graduating from elementary school and came out to work with his father. The family only supported a junior college student, so it was normal for him to stay at home for a few more years to repay his family.

Now that my eldest brother is married and she has been promoted to a regular employee, she is talking about finding someone to marry. By then, she will give her job to her eldest brother, which will also be a stable income. After getting married, she will definitely have to take care of her own family, so how can she always think about her mother's family?"

"That sounds good, then meet her first. It would be good if she can take care of the family, but don't just take care of her parents' family. Uncle Huang, you know that I'm the only one in my family. Once I get married, she'll be the head of the family. Don't move everything good to her parents' family, that would be terrible."

"Well, there are such cases. One in a hundred is considered a lot. There is still time. I will ask someone to see what her requirements are for her blind date. Let me also tell her how she plans to live after marriage and whether she can keep the family. Okay, go back. I will investigate it clearly."

Jiang Feng handed over another cigarette, went out, touched Xiaowei's head, told him to come over and play when he had time, and then rode his bike to Liu Jingjun's home.
