Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Jia Zhangshi kept quiet for a long time and didn't cause any trouble. She probably paid a lot of money in compensation to the Liu family.

I don’t know whether the money came from the Jia family or the Yi family. I guess it was paid by the Jia family on the surface. After all, all three uncles were present at the time.

The yard is too peaceful.

When New Year’s Day came, the country suddenly announced a big news: Daqing Oilfield successfully produced oil and officially went into production!

Lin Baoyan was so excited that she was speechless when she read the news in the newspaper.

This must be the masterpiece of those two fellow villagers!

How could she forget that the country was short of oil? When was the Daqing Oilfield mined? It seemed to be in the 56s, but it couldn't have been New Year's Day in . Oil was mined and put into production. It took a lot of time in the early stages. It seemed that it was difficult to survey the site, and the equipment for oil extraction took a long time to prepare. How long ago had the site and reserves been explored? So Xiao Li and Wu Zhi made great contributions!

He Yushui gently touched Lin Baoyan: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so excited?"

They were sitting by the fire in the Lin family's kitchen. It was far from the deaf old lady's house, so they could talk without worrying about being overheard.

The junior high school she attended was far away from the compound, so she lived on campus. She usually came back once every two weeks. It was New Year's Day holiday, so she came back.

Lin Baoyan said excitedly: "Now that our country has discovered this large oil field, there will be no shortage of oil in the future."

Although He Yushui was also happy, she didn't understand why Lin Baoyan was so happy. It was not her fault, it was the limitation of the times.

In this era, bicycles were not popular, let alone cars. There were not many cars on the streets. Even many buses were gas-powered. There were trolleybuses and even diesel cars were rare, let alone gasoline cars.

Therefore, ordinary people are not very aware of the country's thirst for oil.

Does the country not want to develop diesel and gasoline vehicles? No, before the Daqing oilfield was discovered, China had always been an oil-poor country. Oil had to be imported, and importing oil cost money. However, the country has experienced so many years of war and has been plundered in various ways. Where can we get money?

Now that the Daqing oilfield has been discovered and mined, the label of an oil-poor country can be shaken off, and the country's development plan will also be changed accordingly. Perhaps, the next large-scale development of the Great Northern Wilderness will be carried out by driving agricultural machinery, and our predecessors will not have to shed so much blood and sweat.

Lin Baoyan thought that a useless time traveler like her should just live her own life and not cause trouble to the country, while a capable time traveler like Xiao Li Wuzhi could serve the motherland and provide support for the country's development.

After being happy, He Yushui sighed again.

Lin Baoyan was surprised: "Why are you not happy about going home for the holidays?"

He Yushui rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why should I be unhappy? He's still my brother."

She became angry again as she spoke: "I really don't know what's going on in my brother's mind. Yi Zhonghai has cheated him so much, but he still has such a good relationship with him. He even drank with him and Jia Dongxu last night."

In the past few months, Sha Zhu's reputation has become so bad in this area that matchmakers would run away whenever they saw him.

Lin Baoyan had just caused a scene, and in order to reduce the impact, there was no need for them to retreat to the backyard and not go out. So, they really didn't know that Sha Zhu had become so close to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

She asked, "Why didn't your brother go find Wu Zhi later? Wu Zhi's personality doesn't seem like he would let Yi Zhonghai go, does he?"

He Yushui was so angry that she wanted to bite someone: "Don't mention that scoundrel. I asked my brother, and he said that the bastard had been transferred a long time ago. No one knows where he was transferred to. He can't be found even if he wants to. If I knew where he went, I would definitely knock on his door. It's so shameless, so shameless, and so hateful. He ran away without any impact. My brother is left here, and all the bad reputation is his."

Lin Baoyan was speechless. What the hell was this Wuzhi doing?

So, this time, Shazhu was really badly cheated.

"Well, we can't just leave it like this. Besides, your brother is with Yi Zhonghai every day. In other people's eyes, everything Yi Zhonghai said is true. This, this, this..."

He Yushui was helpless: "I advised him, but he didn't listen, and he said I was too narrow-minded. Yi Zhonghai had already refuted the rumors for him and spoke for him in the factory, so he was embarrassed to keep a cold face."

Lin Baoyan was speechless. This kind of person likes to be praised, is very face-conscious, and can be flattered by just a few nice words. If a child wants to change his mind, he really needs some ability.

She suggested: "You live on campus every day, so you have no chance to persuade your brother. But look, your brother is in this situation. If we don't find a solution, it will be useless. I think your brother should find a partner as soon as possible."

He Yushui rolled her eyes at her: "Don't I know? But the matchmaker won't let him in."

Lin Baoyan said, "The matchmaker didn't let him in, but she didn't let you in, right? You might as well go find the matchmaker yourself, don't let your brother know, and let the matchmaker find the most beautiful girl in the countryside, at least on the same level as Qin Huairu. Once she finds one, as long as the other party's family is not too outrageous, give the matchmaker some authority to talk to the other party's family. When the talks are almost done, take her directly to meet your brother. As long as she is pretty enough, your brother will definitely do it."

It's impossible to find one in the city, so I can only find one in the countryside.

Anyway, we don't know how this country will change in the future, and we don't know when the widening gap between urban and rural areas will begin. It's better to find a partner and transfer your household registration as soon as possible. It should be possible in time, but it shouldn't be a big problem if you don't have time. With those two around, it won't be worse than in history.

When He Yushui heard Lin Baoyan mention Qin Huairu, her eyes flickered and she felt uneasy, wondering if Lin Baoyan knew something and had pointed it out on purpose.

Although she didn't want to admit that her brother was an LSP, the fact was that Sha Zhu was an LSP. When Qin Huairu came to help the drunk Jia Dongxu go home last night, she saw that her silly brother was staring at Qin Huairu.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't be so nervous. Her brother is her father's biological son! God knows what her brother can do.

Now after listening to her good friend's words, she thought about it and felt that it was indeed feasible, so she stood up and prepared to go home to get money and find a matchmaker.

"Wait a minute." Lin Baoyan held her back.

She asked, "Are you going to pay the matchmaker yourself?"

He Yushui was at a loss: "I can't let my brother know. What if I don't take my own money?"

Lin Baoyan was very disappointed: "You are your brother's sister. What's wrong with asking him for some money to buy things on New Year's Day? Seeing that your classmates all use pens and you don't have any, it's normal for you to ask your brother when you want something. It's normal to ask your brother when you want to eat something delicious. Although you have money sent by your father, he is your brother. It's necessary for him to give you some pocket money."

He Yushui's face went blank.

"If you don't pay your brother's money, he will spend it all on drinking with Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. You still have to find him a partner. How much money will it cost? If you don't pay your brother's money, how much can you pay? If you pay less, the matchmaker will fool you. If the person you find is not pretty enough, your brother will not like her. Then your money will be wasted, right?"

He Yushui suddenly realized, looked at Lin Baoyan with complicated eyes, and went home.
