Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

When He Yushui returned home, only half a bowl of braised pork was left from the two boxes of braised pork that He Yuzhu brought back.

"Brother, I just heard that you brought back some stewed meat tonight. How come this is just this little bit?"

Sha Zhu felt a little guilty, so he gave a small bowl of the two boxes of braised pork to the deaf old lady and a large bowl to Qin Huairu.

The only reason these were left was because he had a change of heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep even these.

"It's not that there are too many people today, and I didn't get much."

He Yushui didn't doubt it. He took the steamed bread, picked up a piece of large intestine and put it into his mouth.

"Brother, you should eat some too. This stew is so delicious."

Sha Zhu swallowed his saliva, grabbed a steamed bread and took a big bite, saying:

"I've eaten, these are specially left for you."

After hearing what his silly brother said, He Yushui didn't hesitate to finish the stew in the bowl in just a few bites.

She can't eat anything good at school, so she has to rely on coming back home on weekends to eat something good during these two days.

The two of them ate and chatted about family matters. Thinking of the gossip they heard when they came back, He Yushui couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, brother, I heard that brother Jianjun from the backyard has returned from the army. He is also working in your steel mill now.

I heard that you two had a fight?"

He Yushui's impression of Wang Jianjun is still the naive look he had before he joined the army.

No matter how you think about it, when these two people started fighting, it seemed like it was your stupid brother who was bullying them.

Sha Zhu didn't want to bring up this matter. After all, he was in the wrong, and he was taught a lesson by the other party after he started fighting.

"It's not a big deal. Anyway, Wang Jianjun is not a good person. Remember to stay away from him in the future."

He Yushui nodded without replying, and then asked:

"By the way, I heard from an old lady that you went on a blind date last Sunday. How is it going?"

When talking about this, Shazhu's face turned a little dark.

No one knew who spread the news of his blind date with Liu Yuhua.

Now everyone in the kitchen knows that he is having a blind date with the famous fat man in the factory.

Liu Lan often used this matter to bully him.

"Don't worry about it. The uncle is too unreliable. He introduced a fat guy to me. He is even fatter than Aunt Jia."

"Is this true? There is actually someone fatter than Aunt Jia. If she were to marry into our family, she would eat up our family."

"That's why I don't agree. With your brother's conditions, I have to marry someone like Sister Qin."

He Yushui looked at his brother strangely and said:

"Brother, you are not attracted to Sister Qin, are you? She is married."

Thinking of Qin Huairu's tearful look just now, Sha Zhu felt a little guilty and said:

"What are you talking about? I mean a beautiful woman like Sister Qin. If your brother wants to marry, he will marry a virgin."

He Yushui thought to herself that she was overthinking. No matter how stupid her brother was, he would not have any improper thoughts about a married woman.

After the two chatted about family matters, He Yushui helped clean up and then returned to his room.

That night, Shazhu slept a little uneasily.

As he tossed and turned in bed, he kept thinking about how Qin Huairu looked when she came today. That expression made his heart beat faster as a single man.

After finally falling asleep, all the dreams I had were about Qin Huairu.

So early in the morning, Shazhu didn't have time to cook and took clothes to the sink to get water to wash clothes.

As luck would have it, Qin Huairu also came out early in the morning with a basin of clothes to wash.

Seeing the silly Qin Huairu smiled and took the initiative to greet:

"Zhu Zi, it's rare for you to get up so early to wash clothes. I'll help you wash these two pieces of clothes."

Qin Huairu didn't have any other intentions, she just wanted to express her gratitude for the bowl of braised pork yesterday.

How could Sha Zhu dare to ask Qin Huairu for help?

Recalling the absurd dream last night, he refused awkwardly:

"No, Sister Qin, it's just one or two pieces of clothing, I can do it myself."

After saying this, he fetched some water and hurried back to the house to destroy the evidence.

From that day on, Sha Zhu began to develop some special feelings for Qin Huairu.

It was just a strong sense of guilt that made him suppress this feeling in his heart.

Whenever he saw Jia Dongxu, he always felt a little unnatural.

Time flies, and soon it is June.

Wang Jianjun still goes to the countryside to purchase goods every day.

Director Wang also told him that he had completed his target for this month, so he only needed to report to the factory occasionally and could arrange the rest of his time freely.

Wang Jianjun said that he would visit several places to understand the situation so as to facilitate his future work.

Director Wang was very pleased and praised Wang Jianjun as a good comrade who loves his job and is dedicated to his work.

Wang Jianjun felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. It is impossible for a person to be dedicated to his job if he is always thinking about how to slack off.

The reason why Wang Jianjun ran around was to enrich the supplies in his space.

We have almost got everything we can from Laoyugou Village and Liu Village.

The purchased pigs, sheep, donkeys and horses have all been stored in the space.

In addition, he also obtained enough game such as wild boars, wild goats, sika deer, roe deer, pheasants and rabbits for breeding.

After this period of growth, the chickens and ducks in the space also grew up and began to lay eggs.

Wang Jianjun can now eat an egg a day like his uncle.

He kept only a portion of the eggs for himself and incubated the rest.

The two pregnant wild boars in the other space have also given birth.

One litter has eight heads and another has seven heads.

Wang Jianjun selected two relatively thin piglets and had the system perform painless castration on them.

Just wait until they grow up and then slaughter them and eat the meat.

This is also to control the rapid growth of wild boar populations.

There are more than twenty wild boars in the space now. If we breed too many, we may not be able to keep up with the food supply.

The current development trend in the space is very good, so Wang Jianjun plans to move to another place to continue collecting supplies.

The letter of introduction given by the steel rolling mill will state the place where the buyer is going, usually a certain town.

If Wang Jianjun wants to go to another town or even another district, he will need a letter of introduction from the Purchasing Department.

In this era, you can't just go around without a letter of introduction.

It would be embarrassing if I were arrested as a spy.

Director Wang naturally agreed to the request of Wang Jianjun, a rookie in procurement, and repeatedly urged him to go back to his hometown more often to see if there were any wild boars.

Wang Jianjun naturally agreed to this.

With the letter of introduction, he traveled around various towns in Changping District during this period.

He did have some harvest, including several pigeons and quails among the six birds.

He also caught five geese that belonged to a rural bully.

As for the cattle, they still didn’t buy them.

During this time he also collected some useful information.

After the National Day military parade in October, the steel mill will join several other large factories to go to Inner Mongolia to purchase a batch of cattle and sheep as year-end benefits.

In the past few years, a purchasing team went together with the factory’s transportation team and security department, and this year it should be the same unless something unexpected happens.

After Wang Jianjun learned about this, he went to see Director Wang privately to find out more about the situation.

Finally, he suggested that he would like to go to Inner Mongolia with the transport team.

The reason is that the motherland is so big and he wants to go and see it.

Director Wang generously said that there was no problem with Wang Jianjun's application.

This matter happened to be within his power, and it was just a matter of words to decide who to send.
