He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

He Yuzhu hummed a little tune, with a bright smile on his face, and returned home in a particularly happy mood.

Seeing how happy he was, Ma Xiuxiu and He Yushui couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, why are you so happy today?"

He Yuzhu smiled mysteriously and did not answer their questions immediately. Instead, he walked to the sofa and sat down, then slowly said, "Do you know? This era is about to pass!"

Ma Xiuxiu and He Yushui looked at each other and asked in confusion, "What do you mean? We don't quite understand."

He Yuzhu smiled and continued to explain: "This means there will be more opportunities and possibilities in the future. And for Ma Jianshe, he will be able to take the exam in the next two years."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuxiu and He Yushui's eyes suddenly lit up. They realized that this was an important opportunity for Ma Jianshe.

Ma Xiuxiu said excitedly: "That's great! I believe that with Ma Jianshe's intelligence and talent, he will definitely be able to pass the exam and get good results."

He Yushui also agreed and encouraged: "Yes, as long as you study hard, everything is possible."

He Yuzhu nodded and said firmly, "Yes, Ma Jianshe will succeed. Moreover, as the times change, we will all get better and better."

Ma Xiuxiu and He Yushui both showed their expectation after hearing this. They knew that although the future was full of unknowns, as long as they maintained a positive and optimistic attitude and moved forward courageously, they would definitely be able to create a better life.

The meal was a lively one. Qin Huairu also bought some meat and cooked a few dishes, which were much more modest than those of He Yuzhu's family.

Xiaodang brought Huaihua back and saw that the door of his home was open and he could hear the sound of cooking inside.

Huaihua was stunned. You know, since Jia Zhang came back, she basically hasn't cooked a single dish. But Huaihua said to Xiaodang, "Sister, remember I told you that our grandmother has always had some private money, but I haven't found it. If I find it, we'll leave."

Xiaodang nodded. He really didn't want to stay in the Jia family for another day. Look at the life of He Yuzhu's family, and then look at the life of his own family. There is food today but no food tomorrow.

The most terrifying thing is that when winter comes, they have to go out early to collect firewood. Jia Zhang does no housework and just goes to sleep when she comes home.

Xiaodang and Huaihua went out to collect firewood, or went to Yi Zhonghai's house to borrow coal. It was amazing to see what kind of life He Yuzhu's family was living.

What Xiaodang couldn't stand the most was that Yi Zhonghai had recently found Xiaodang and asked him, "Xiaodang, do you want to live a better life?"

Xiao Dang thought Yi Zhonghai had found a better job for her, so she poured a glass of water for Yi Zhonghai and looked at him: "Grandpa Yi, did you find a good job for me?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that Xiaodang had misunderstood him, so he looked at Xiaodang and said, "I have an idea. You are not young anymore. Isn't it time for you to find a husband?"

Xiao Dang thought Yi Zhonghai had found a rich family for him, so he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, is this a good family? Don't worry, I will definitely be filial to you."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xiaodang, who was already fifteen or sixteen years old, a good age to get married, so he looked at Xiaodang and said, "Xiaodang, you should know that although I am only a level five fitter now, I still have some savings. As long as you give me a son, and then you get married, I will give you three hundred yuan. How about that?"

Xiaodang never expected that Yi Zhonghai would think this way. You have to know that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Yi Zhonghai is about to retire. Why would he come to her?

Xiao Dang looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Grandpa Yi, I have always regarded you as my grandpa. I will never forget your kindness to my family. I will definitely repay you for your help to my family."

After saying that, Xiaodang ignored Yi Zhonghai and ran away.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xiaodang and said, "Xiaodang, do you really think you can get rid of my control? You should know that these are all the good things your mother did, and you have to pay for them. At that time, Qin Huairu said that she would give me a boy, but she didn't, so this is your mission."

Xiao Dang thought and looked at his sister: "Huaihua, when the time comes, we will run away together and live our good lives again."

Huaihua nodded: "Sister, I will listen to you."

Just as Xiaodang was about to go in, Qin Huairu heard a noise outside, so she came out: "Xiaodang, Huaihua, you guys are back, hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner."

Huaihua didn't react for a moment, but Xiaodang reacted immediately: "Mom, you're back. Is my brother Banggeng back too?"

Qin Huairu shook her head: "Your brother Banggeng did something wrong in prison, so he needs to come back later. When will your grandma come back?"

Xiao Dang looked at his watch and said, "Grandma's place is far away, maybe ten minutes."

I don’t know if it’s because Qin Huairu spent six years in prison, but the two children are no longer close to her. Xiaodang and Huaihua, on the other hand, are inseparable.

Qin Huairu looked at the two children and knew that she was sorry for them, but she was like this now, and their brother Banggeng was also like this, so the two children must earn money for their family, and even if they get married, they must marry into a wealthy family.

Just as Qin Huairu was chatting with her two children about family matters, Jia Zhang came back. In fact, Jia Zhang's work was easier than Xiaodang's, but Jia Zhang always played outside for a while before coming back.

"Xiao Dang, is the meal ready?"

Qin Huairu looked at the two children and knew what life they had been through when she was not at home, so she looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, I'm back. The meal is ready. We can eat right away."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and then looked behind her: "Now that you are back, my precious grandson should be back too, right? Don't tease grandma anymore."

Qin Huairu awkwardly told Jia Zhang what she had just said. Jia Zhang went to wash her hands without saying anything.

The family of four didn't say much. Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu while eating and said, "Qin Huairu, now that you're back, do I not have to work anymore? After all, I'm already this old now."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang: "Mom, I don't have a job now. The steel mill fired me. I'm looking for a job now. You have to work for a few more days."

Jia Zhang was unwilling: "Isn't this Yi Zhonghai's business? Why don't you find Yi Zhonghai? What are you thinking about at home?"
