Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Yan Bugui, who was skinny as a bag of bones, had deeply sunken eye sockets. His eyes, bulging like light bulbs, stared straight at his son. He glanced at his son and uttered a contemptuous and cold voice.

"Save your energy and stop thinking about it.

The issuance of new currency has nothing to do with our debt.

The money owed must not be reduced by a cent.”

Yan Bugui directly shattered his son's unrealistic fantasy.

Instead of doing all these unnecessary things, it is better to lie down at home, reduce physical exertion and save more food.

"what?"

Yan Jiecheng wailed and almost collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

After living frugally for several months, even the Yan family, who were very tenacious, were reaching their physical limit.

It is for this reason that Yan Jiecheng, who could not bear it any longer, developed unrealistic fantasies.

"Dad, even if it has no impact, such a big thing happened in the country, shouldn't we have an extra meal to celebrate?"

Yan Jiecheng swallowed his saliva and reminded carefully.

"Celebrate? Celebrate shit!"

Yan Bugui rarely uttered a curse word and scolded him harshly: "There are still so many debts to be repaid at home, how can we celebrate! Go back quickly and don't bother me!"

It is impossible to celebrate.

The Yan family still lived a hard life during the New Year, so how could they make an exception for such a trivial matter?

Besides, the Yan family has only been able to hold on until now on a single breath. Once a gap is opened and the breath is lost, they will definitely not be able to endure the hard times that will follow.

"But...but...

Dad, we can't take it anymore.

The second uncle is not forcing us to pay off the debt within a year.

Can't you pay less every month and have more money to live on?"

Yan Jiecheng confided his true feelings to his father.

The Yan family lives such a hard life, it's all Yan Bugui's fault.

In fact, as long as Yan Bugui could be more open-minded, his life would never be so hard.

Apart from anything else, the family’s food and clothing are no longer a problem.

“No, absolutely not!

The longer you delay, the more money you will have to pay back.

I had finally managed to get a year of interest-free loans, so I can't give up easily.

Just be patient, if you keep going like this you will definitely be able to pay off your debt within a year.

When the debt is paid off, Dad will sell meat for you to eat."

Yan Bugui firmly rejected his son's proposal, but still did not forget to make empty promises in the end.

After losing all his family fortune, Yan Bugui became even more obsessed with money and refused to give up even a cent. Paying more money was more painful than taking his life.

Yan Jiecheng looked at his crazy father, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees, crying, "Dad, please. Life is so hard. Why do other families have enough food and warm clothes, but we have to starve? This is so unfair."

Over the past few months, the Yan family seemed to be in a state of famine every day, and almost everyone was hanging on to their lives.

Of course, compared to physical hunger, the psychological gap is more tormenting.

The neighbors in the courtyard have much lower incomes than the Yan family, but they all live a prosperous life, except them, who are like refugees.

The four children were also boasted to their faces and secretly ridiculed by the children in the neighborhood because of this.

The double torture of physical and psychological torture made Yan Jiecheng breathless and lost the desire to live.

"Jie Cheng, just be patient, just be patient, time will pass quickly, only a few months are left.

Get through these few months and things will get better.

You have survived the first few months, how can you give up in the last few months?

You have to finish what you start and not give up halfway."

Yan Bugui kept on talking in an endless stream of empty words, but he didn't notice that the light in Yan Jiecheng's eyes was gradually fading away.

……

In the evening, a general meeting of the hospital was held.

Unexpectedly, this time the three managers did not sit at the square table to preside over the meeting. Instead, it was Qin Huairu who was pregnant.

Because this meeting was mainly held to explain monetary policy to everyone.

Of course, the host was changed to Qin Huairu, who worked in the street office.

The communities near Luoguxiang have all been given lectures, and No. 95 Courtyard is the last stop of Qin Huairu's work.

After finishing this matter, she officially took leave and stayed at home to wait for the birth of her baby.

"Oh, Qin Huairu is still working at this age, she is really positive."

“That’s true, but it’s a shame for the street office to let a pregnant woman do this.

Is there no one else?"

"Qin Huairu is from our hospital, so it will be more convenient for her to do our work."

Before the meeting even started, the neighbors were already whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Qin Huairu is very beautiful and eye-catching, and her experience of working in the street office makes her even more attractive.

Many people in the hospital are interested in her.

If it weren't for He Yuzhu to keep them in check, God knows what these bastards would have done.

"Quiet, please be quiet!"

He Yuzhu walked to the center of the crowd and shouted loudly. His voice was as loud as thunder, which instantly swept away the noise and restored peace to the courtyard.

Ever since He Yuzhu became the canteen director, his authority has grown and the neighbors in the courtyard are even more afraid to provoke this evil star.

He Yuzhu is not a good person. If you make him unhappy, you will definitely be in trouble.

When I went to the canteen to get food the next day, I could only eat vegetable stems.

Moreover, He Yuzhu's skill in serving rice is amazing. The surface of each spoonful is beaten very evenly. The secret is all in it. There is nothing wrong with it. People can only swallow their loss and complain in their hearts.

Eating is a big deal these days and no one dares to be careless.

Therefore, no one in the hospital dared to openly disrespect He Yuzhu.

After calming down the noisy neighbors, He Yuzhu turned around, carefully pulled his wife up, and walked to the center of the venue.

He did not go back afterwards, but stood behind Qin Huairu like a door god, obviously to support his wife.

Qin Huairu did not reject her husband's kindness. She looked around with a smile and said, "I called everyone here today to talk about the new currency. In a few days, in early March, we can go and exchange the new currency.

The exchange rate between new currency and old currency is one to ten thousand.

At that time, you can go to the designated exchange office and exchange the old currency for the new one.

Here are a few things to remind you of.

First, you need to go to a designated place to exchange money. Except for the currency exchange places designated by the government, other places that provide currency exchange services are fake. Don't be deceived by those with ulterior motives.

Second, there is no handling fee for currency exchange. If someone says that there is a handling fee for currency exchange, it must be false. If you encounter such a situation, you must report it to the government department in a timely manner.

Third, it is best to go and exchange money in person with your ID, and do not entrust it to others to avoid unnecessary trouble..."

In the course of every major event, there are always some people with evil intentions who take advantage of information asymmetry to deceive the public and make huge profits.

Cheng Hao dispatched personnel to various communities to explain policies, which was a shot of vaccination for residents, allowing them to be more vigilant and avoid being harmed by criminals.

The new currency policy is actually not complicated, and Qin Huairu tried her best to convey its meaning to her neighbors in plain and easy-to-understand language.

Not long after, the policy was announced, and Qin Huairu immediately left the venue with the help of He Yuzhu.
