Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang and Yu Li returned home, first used a mallet bone (corn cob) to light a fire, then pressed a few pieces of charcoal and waited for the stove to burn. Yu Li took out a can of yellow peaches from the cupboard behind the sofa and poured it into the bowl. She took a spoon from the kitchen and went to the sofa and sat next to Zhang Renkang.

Yu Li grumbled, looked at the big hand that was stretched into her shirt and started eating the canned food. After a while, Yu Li said

"Renkang, I'm planning to decorate my house. Let's go to the flower and bird market (lotus market) in front tomorrow and buy a few pots of wintersweets."

Zhang Renkang rubbed the big rabbit and said

"It's up to you. You can do whatever you want to me, but let me deal with you again tonight."

With a sly smile, he picked up Yu Li and walked towards the bedroom. Yu Li blushed and said a few words coquettishly, but she let him go. It was still a little cold in the room, and it would be good to warm up after some exercise.

……

An hour and a half passed just like that. Yu Li, whose bones were falling apart, rolled her eyes and gasped for breath. After a while, Yu Li, who had lost count of how many times she had been seen in the clouds, fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Renkang looked at his achievements with a smile, filled the fire with charcoal and simmered it (how do you seal the stove at night? I fill it with charcoal, cover it with an iron round plate, and then half-open the outermost lid. It can usually last for six or seven hours). He turned off the light, went back to catch the rabbit and went to sleep.

The next day, Yu Li, who was awakened by Zhang Renkang's mischief, opened her eyes with pain all over her body and looked at Zhang Renkang in fear. "Won't this bastard step on the brakes?" Yu Li said with some fear and hatred.

"Renkang, you can't do this every day, I will die"

Zhang Renkang laughed and gave Yu Li a drink of the spiritual spring water that he had prepared long ago, and said with a smile:

"Isn't this to show you my strength? This will be the rule at home from now on. If you don't obey, I'll sleep with you."

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him, covered herself with the quilt and turned to rest for a while. Zhang Renkang reached into the quilt and squeezed it hard, which made Yu Li very angry. She laughed, changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to cook.

After cooking the millet porridge, Yu Li went to the toilet to wash up slowly. Zhang Renkang quickly fried four poached eggs and steamed two white flour buns to prepare breakfast. After dinner today, they signed the certificate. Zhang Renkang was going to the textile factory to talk to Li Huaide's brother-in-law about cooperation. Since the material transaction of the steel mill was stopped, it would be okay to change places. The textile factory was a little smaller, but it still had a scale of 5,000 to 6,000 people.

(Here’s a topic for this year’s geography college entrance exam: Why is a textile factory built near a steel plant?)

After Yu Li finished her millet porridge and ate two poached eggs, she burped. She looked at Zhang Renkang happily and thought, although this guy is sometimes mean and unreliable, he is still good to her. How many men cook at home now? It's always women serving men. It's just that one aspect is really unbearable. Yu Li felt like she was going to die last night.

Zhang Renkang saw Yu Li finished eating and said with a smile

"Lily, how are you feeling? Are you able to walk now?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him, but she actually felt much better. Although she hadn't recovered as quickly as she had yesterday morning, she could still walk.

"We'll get the certificate back later. Do you still want to go to the factory?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Go back. I have to go to a nearby textile factory today. I have something to discuss with Secretary Zhao of the textile factory."

Yu Li nodded and said

"That's fine. I'll go to the factory today, get my ID and give some wedding candy to the personnel department, finance department, and kitchen staff."

As he spoke, Zhang Renkang cleaned up the table. Yu Li went back to her room to change clothes. After a while, Zhang Renkang came to the bedroom and saw Yu Li, who was wearing a red sweater and a small red jacket (we call it a waistcoat, which is a small cotton jacket without sleeves and is similar to a vest, buttoned from the middle). He smiled. Yu Li, who was wearing blue-green overalls, had a pair of slender long legs and a fair and charming face. No matter what clothes she wore, she looked charming.

Zhang Renkang was dazzled by what he saw. Seeing him like this, Yu Li smiled and pushed Zhang Renkang onto the bed and said:

"Am I pretty? Am I prettier than Qin Huairu from the Central Courtyard?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"My Lili is pretty, Qin Huairu can't compare to you."

(Qin Huairu: Chapter 16, that’s not what you said when you were driving my car)

Zhang Renkang hugged Yu Li and smiled

"Don't you want to know how much wealth our family has?"

"Today I will open your eyes"

As he spoke, he drew the curtains. (It was not yet seven o'clock, and the city was still dark. When it was just getting light, the lights were on.)

Holding Yu Li's hand, he walked towards the closet. Zhang Renkang opened the closet door and felt around at the bottom of the closet. Suddenly, he pressed hard on the edge and the bottom plate lifted up. Yu Li took a closer look and almost fainted. There were a lot of ten-yuan bills and some small yellow croakers at the bottom. These were the four hundred big black ten-yuan bills and fifteen small yellow croakers that Zhang Renkang had put in there a few nights ago as a token of his gratitude to Yu Li after he decided to get married to her.

When this wardrobe was custom-made, Zhang Renkang discussed it with Wang Jianlin privately. The wardrobe in the master bedroom and the wardrobe in another bedroom are all made of double-layer boards. Unless someone knows in advance, no one can see that there is something else underneath unless the wardrobe is dismantled.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Lily, we still have some family property, right?"

Yu Li covered her mouth and dared not make a sound. She gasped for breath and it took her a while to calm down and ask:

"Renkang, where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"I took out all the money my parents had saved from the bank. I spent 1,600 to 1,700 yuan on furnishing the house, and about 400 to 500 yuan on buying bicycles and various items."

"There are still four thousand yuan in here, and fifteen small yellow croakers. They are my savings and the benefits I deserve from the transaction with the steel mill in the past few months. You just need to keep this in mind, but you can't tell anyone. Do you understand?"

Yu Li nodded. How could she dare to tell anyone? The money was enough to get her executed. Yu Li paused for a moment, calmed down, and said:

"Don't touch this money. We don't have much to spend. Your salary plus my salary is enough to spend."

(Yu Li, 143.5th level clerk, yuan; Zhang Renkang, head of the Planning Section, section level; deputy director of the canteen, deputy section level, receive the salary of the Planning Section, yuan, a total of yuan for the two)

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"There will be more money in the future. The steel mill stopped trading due to an accident. It will take at most two months to resume. Li Huaide's brother-in-law works at the textile factory. I guess he will also have to trade long-term in the future."

"So our family is not short of money, it's just that sometimes we can't spend it lavishly. Now there are just a few less bills, so we have to save the money for now."

Yu Li nodded and said

"Renkang, if there is any risk, let's not do it for now. This money is enough for us to live a good life."

Yu Li was really a little scared. She was afraid that the good life that she had finally come to would be gone. She put her arms around Zhang Renkang's waist and held him tightly. Zhang Renkang hugged Yu Li, patted her on the back and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not involved in the transaction. I'm just helping them connect. Besides, they're more afraid of risks."

Then he said to Li

"Lily, you have to learn these things from me, especially the financial aspect. When the situation gets better, we might be able to do a lot."

Yu Li nodded, and she and Zhang Renkang covered the bottom plate. Zhang Renkang taught Yu Li how to use it several times, and only sealed it completely after seeing that Yu Li had mastered it skillfully. Zhang Renkang said to Yu Li

"For our daily expenses, I made a mechanism here on the bed, take a look."

Zhang Renkang fumbled around the bed, pulled out a small drawer from the board next to the right bed support, and said

"Here are three or four hundred yuan for our daily expenses. Remember to be careful when you take out the money and don't leave money or other things at home. There are many thieves in our yard, especially the grandparents and grandchildren of the Jia family in the middle yard. Although we have locked the door, we can't guarantee that this kid can pick the lock."

Now Shazhu has gone in, and it is December of 64, the plot has not started yet, and I don't know whether Banggeng has learned how to pick locks from Shazhu, but it's better to be careful.

Yu Li nodded and said

"Aren't the things in the living room also unsafe?"

Zhang Renkang sneered and said

"Even if those canned goods were stolen, we can also say that we bought them ourselves. After all, it's reasonable for us to buy a few cans with our salary. If he really dares to come in, haha, maybe Sha Zhu will have a companion."

Zhang Renkang is not afraid of Banggeng breaking into his house. For Zhang Renkang, it would just destroy some things and have less food. It is just right to send Banggeng to accompany Shazhu. I just don't know if the juvenile detention center will also go to work on the farm.
