Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Early the next morning, when Qin Huairu and the others rushed to the hospital, Bai Guafu and the others had also gotten up early.

Seeing Widow Qin and the others coming, Widow Bai also felt a headache.

Originally, I planned to be discharged from the hospital early today and leave quietly, but I didn't expect that the widow and her family have been coming earlier and earlier these days.

Qin Huairu is also a smart person.

In the past half month, apart from promising them the truth every day, the White Widow and her family have not seen a penny.

So these days, they have been coming to bed earlier and earlier, for fear that the White Widow and her family will run away.

"Aunt Bai, why are you here so early today? We haven't gone to buy breakfast yet!"

"What are you buying? We have spent dozens of dollars in the past half month. How can we afford breakfast?"

Jia Zhang was speaking in a sarcastic tone at the side. Although her voice was not loud, it was loud enough for the White Widow to hear clearly.

The White Widow smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, look at my memory. I am really old and forgetful."

As she spoke, Widow Bai took out ten dollars and handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. You can use this money to buy some good food and cook a table at home. We will come over to eat in the evening, and then you can settle the bill. We will come over in the evening, and after dinner, I want to settle it for you. How about it?"

Qin Huairu took the money and smiled.

"Aunt Bai, you are too polite. If you want to eat, just tell us and we can go buy some food. Okay, we will prepare it first and you can come to the courtyard by yourselves in the evening."

As they spoke, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang happily took Xiaodang and Huaihua and left the factory hospital again.

A few people wandered around the vegetable market and pigeon market for a long time before finally returning with a full load.

The family just returned to the courtyard with vegetables, and the sharp-eyed aunt immediately noticed the large and small bags in their hands.

"Hey, what's up, Huairu? Do you have any guests today? You bought so many vegetables!"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at her.

"The God of Wealth is coming to our house today, and they are going to give us a lot of money. It's useless for you to be envious, Huairu, let's go home and get ready."

After saying that, he carried the vegetables and walked towards the central courtyard.

The third aunt was almost choked to death by Jia Zhang.

"What kind of person is this? He really doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness!"

In the end, the third aunt could only curse a few words and then went back to the house.

The Jia family was busy at home all day. When it got dark, they finally prepared a table of food and burned the charcoal fire in the stove, waiting for the arrival of the God of Wealth.

After sending Qin Huairu and her family away in the morning, Widow Bai and her family quickly arranged to be discharged from the hospital.

Originally, the two brothers' injuries should have required them to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, but the White Widow and the others insisted on being discharged, and the hospital had no choice but to discharge them.

The White Widow took some time out a few days ago to go out and look around to see if there was anyone in the city who wanted to sell a yard.

After several days of searching, I actually found a small courtyard at the east gate.

The original owner and his family fled because of the tsunami, so their house was naturally confiscated and was handled by the street office, which could be rented or sold.

Widow Bai asked around and then found the staff of the street office through an introduction.

When they heard that someone was coming to see the house, the people from the street office were very enthusiastic and took her to the courtyard to see the house.

The courtyard is neither big nor small, and the total area is more than 200 square meters.

There are three rooms plus a main room, and a side room outside that is used as a kitchen.

There is also a small yard, but it is spacious enough to hang clothes and quilts.

Although Widow Bai felt that the house was a little small, it was not as old as her own house in Baoding.

However, in this old city where every inch of land is valuable, owning a small courtyard like this is already better than most of the locals in this city.

As a result, I asked about the house price.

If you rent it, it's 13.5 yuan a month, which is a one-time payment for one year, plus a deposit of 50 yuan.

If you buy it, it's 375 yuan, no bargaining, and you can go through the house transfer procedures right away, just hand over the money and take over the house.

So as soon as she was discharged from the hospital today, Widow Bai took her two sons who had not yet recovered and went directly to the small courtyard at the east gate.

With the help of the staff of the local street office, I bought this courtyard.

Looking at their newly bought house, the White Widow and her family were very happy.

"Tomorrow we'll go buy some furniture, pots and pans, and tidy up the house so it can be habitable. I'll go back to Baoding, pick up your younger brother, and then find a wife for the eldest brother first."

"As for the second brother, wait another year and I will find you a marriage partner. Then our family will stay in the city and you will be city dwellers from now on."

The White Widow told her two sons about the wonderful life in the future with a look of longing on her face.

The Jia family sat at home, waiting for the White Widow and her family to come for dinner.

I waited and waited, but no one came until it was dark.

"Huai Ru, it's already dark, why hasn't he come yet? Could he be lost?"

Jia Zhang would glance into the yard from time to time to see if the White Widow and her family had arrived.

Qin Huairu also frowned and looked at the door.

"What's going on? Why hasn't anyone arrived yet? The food is cold!"

Qin Huairu was also curious. He said he would come, so why didn't he come yet?

Qin Huairu, who was wondering, suddenly remembered something.

He stood up with a bang and exclaimed.

"Suffer it, suffer it!"

Qin Huairu shouted as she ran outside.

Jia Zhang chased to the door with a confused look on her face and shouted at Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, you're so scared when you go there."

But there was no response because Widow Qin had already run out of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu ran quickly to the factory hospital. At this time, she was already exhausted, panting and sweating all over her forehead.

she asked, grabbing a little nurse.

"Excuse me, is the patient named Su with a broken leg and arm still in Ward 23?"

The young nurse shook her head.

"I don't know. Go ask the nurse at the nurse's station."

The young nurse pointed to the nurses' station in the corridor and asked Widow Qin to go there and ask.

Qin Huairu pushed the young nurse away and ran to the nurse station to ask.

"Ward 23, the two brothers surnamed Su, are they still in the hospital?"

The nurse at the nurses' station glanced at the anxious Qin Huairu and flipped through the registration book in her hand.

"Su Tianfu and Su Tianlu from Ward 23 were discharged this morning and have passed away a long time ago."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu sat down on the ground.

For more than half a month, her Jia family bought a chicken and stewed it every day. Not counting the coal briquettes used, the money spent on groceries alone amounted to fifty or sixty yuan.

Under the current circumstances, the White Widow and her family must have run away.

These few dozen yuan are Qin Huairu's two months' salary.

Now...it's all fed to the dogs.

"Comrade, are you okay? Should I take you to see a doctor?"

A nurse saw Qin Huairu sitting on the ground and immediately asked her if she wanted to see a doctor.

Qin Huairu waved her hand.

I have already wasted dozens of dollars, so how can I afford to spend more money on seeing a doctor?

"No...it's okay, I'm fine."

Qin Huairu got up and walked out of the hospital with a depressed look on her face.

Qin Huairu didn't know how she got back to the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming home, Jia Zhang hurried out to greet her.

"Huai Ru, you are back..."

Jia Zhang looked behind Qin Huairu and found no one there.

"Where is the Bai family's sister? Why did you come back alone?"

Jia Zhang was still looking forward to the arrival of the White Widow and her family, who would then give her family three hundred yuan and make up for the money she had spent.

In this way, your family's savings can be increased a lot.

"Mom, let's talk about this when we get home. This matter is a bit...!"

Qin Huairu didn't finish her words and went straight home.

The food on the table had already gone cold.

The two children were so hungry that they sat at the table with their heads hung, staring at the food on the table that had already gone cold.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"

When little Huaihua saw her mother coming back, she immediately started to act coquettishly.

Xiaodang also said with tears in his eyes that he was hungry too.

Qin Huairu brought the cold food into the kitchen and wanted to heat it up.

I've been waiting for a whole day and haven't eaten much, so I'm already starving.

Jia Zhang walked into the house and didn't see Qin Huairu, but heard a noise in the kitchen.

Jia Zhang walked over and stood at the door and asked.

"Qin Huairu, I'm asking you a question, please speak up, where are you?"

Qin Huairu was busy in front of the stove. When she heard Jia Zhang's chattering, she felt very annoyed.

"Forget about that. The White Widow family ran away from the hospital this morning."

The Qinhuai woman said to Jia Zhang while heating up the dishes.

"What!!! He ran away. Then...where's our three hundred dollars?"

"Oh my... I can't bear it anymore. I've spent a lot of money on groceries during this time. That's the money I worked so hard to earn by making matchboxes. It's so unfair."

"You struck by lightning... White Widow, if I want to cheat you... go and cheat the rich, why would I cheat our family? Yi Zhonghai is so rich...!"

"By the way, Yi Zhonghai... this old fellow, I heard that he had an affair with the White Widow. For today's incident, we must ask him to compensate us... for the losses of our family!"

Having said that, Jia Zhang rushed out of the house and came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai was getting ready to go to bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door and cursing.

"You old bastard! Come out now, you have a black conscience. You knew that the White Widow's family were liars, but you didn't remind us. You deserve to be a bastard."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

I didn't do anything. I was just sleeping at home, but still I suffered an unexpected disaster.

'bang'

The door was opened, and Yi Zhonghai, wearing a cotton coat, appeared in front of Jia Zhang.

"Zhang Xiaohua, what's wrong with you? When the White Widow was leaving, your family was so eager to take the White Widow's family home to serve them."

"I was going to persuade you at first, but your family told me not to meddle in other people's business."

"Now that you've been deceived, you come here to make trouble again. Who is this White Widow? She can fool someone like He Daqing. How dare you rely on them?"

"If you don't get cheated, then whoever gets cheated deserves it."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he didn't care about Jia Zhang and the onlookers who were not afraid of the cold, and he slammed the door shut.

Yi Zhonghai's words naturally caused Jia Zhang to become furious and curse.

Of course, this also caused laughter from the neighbors.

The Jia family lost more than they gained and suffered a huge loss.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's idea didn't work, Jia Zhang remembered that this White Widow was He Daqing's wife.

He Daqing must be responsible for compensating his losses in this matter.

But when she turned and looked at the He family's closed door, she backed off.

She also didn't have the courage to cause trouble for the He family.

In this matter, I have no choice but to accept it. If I go to the He family, I will probably suffer even greater losses.

Time flies and it is 1973.

Seven years passed in a flash.

Liu Haizhong's second son, Liu Guangtian, also returned from military service and was assigned to work in a machine repair factory.

The third brother, Liu Guangfu, also went to work early.

After barely finishing high school, with the help of Liu Haizhong, he entered the steel rolling mill, took over Liu Haizhong's shift and became a blacksmith.

This can be considered as the son following in his father's footsteps.

Xiaodang is almost fifteen years old and has grown into a graceful young lady.

Huaihua is already eleven years old. She has very good academic performance and always ranks among the top in every exam.

This made Qin Huairu very happy.

Over the years, her skills have not improved at all, and the performance of the Red Star Steel Mill has been getting worse and worse.

Although our family is not wealthy, we can still get by. After all, there are only four of us and the expenses are not high.

He Xiao and He Ye are also over nine years old and extremely smart.

They were only nine years old, but they had already learned all the knowledge of middle school.

Now Ran Qiuye is contacting middle schools for them, so that they can study in junior high school for one year and then skip to high school directly.

Although education across the country has been affected and many teachers have been forced to leave their jobs, some schools still insist on holding classes.

Yan Jiedi, the youngest member of the third uncle's family, had graduated from high school a long time ago. Because there was no university to go to, she went to work in a thermos factory with the help of the street office.

On the surface, the one who is doing the best is still Xu Damao.

Now, he is the deputy director of a cinema, assisting the manager in managing the small cinema where he used to work, and he lives a comfortable life.

Among the elderly people in the yard, some have passed away, some have moved out, and some have moved in.

Compound No. 95 is still the same compound, but it is not exactly the same compound anymore.

Due to the turbulent situation, half of the Red Star Steel Mill has stopped production.

Although the remaining half is still in operation, there is not much work to do.

He Yuzhu and his team's kitchen was also half closed because they didn't need so many kitchens to cook for the workers.

In order to give his apprentices more opportunities to earn money, He Yuzhu himself became semi-laid off and only went to the steel mill when there was a banquet.

this day.

"Mom, you stay home later. When the meal is ready, I'll go take over. Today is the day he's released from prison. I've been waiting for this day for seven years."

Qin Huairu, whose hair was already gray, was very excited because her son, who had been in prison for seven years, was finally coming back.

"Okay, you go take over. He always avoids us when we go to see him these years. He must be mad at us for not saving him back then!"

"But we also had our own difficulties back then..."

Jia Zhang also had a look of emotion on her face.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, wait until you get Banggen back. I'm leaving now."

It was snowing outside, and Qin Huairu went out with a broken umbrella.

Today is the day that Bang Geng is released from prison.
