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

Banggeng was still feeling proud, so he taught Xu Damao a lesson.

When I went to work the next day, Manager He called me to his office.

"Manager He, do you want to talk to me about something? I'm very busy today!"

Bang Geng said with a flattering look on his face.

"Great! You've been working here for several months now. With your skills, you should have no problem working here."

"But I heard that you've been in prison, right?"

Manager He said to Bang Geng with a forced smile.

The smiling face in the Banggeng photo suddenly froze.

It seems that Manager He knows about my past, and it is impossible to hide it even if he wants to.

"Manager He, it's like this. I was framed by someone. It was that idiot Zhu from our yard who framed me...!"

Before Bang Geng could finish his speech, Manager He waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, I don't care about your business. Whether he framed you or wronged you, our cinema may not be big, but we still have principles. We will never hire anyone who has been in prison. Banggeng, you don't have to work anymore. You are fired."

Manager He said to Bang Geng with a stern face and told him to go home directly.

When Banggeng heard that he was fired, he was extremely anxious.

"Manager He, listen to me. I can't lose this job. I've been in jail and can't find a job. I can't leave here...!"

"Alright, alright, let's go, or I'll call someone, let's go!"

Manager He refused to listen to his explanation and just waved him out.

Bang Geng's face flushed red and he looked at Manager He fiercely. Finally, he sighed, turned around and left the manager's office.

Xu Damao was leaning against the office door, and when he saw Bang Geng coming out, he chuckled.

"Bang Geng, what does Manager He want you for? Are you going to the countryside to show movies again? Don't molest the girl this time, or I won't be able to rescue you."

When Banggeng saw Xu Damao's half-smile, he knew that he must have been the one who reported him for being fired today.

"Xu Damao, you are awesome!"

Banggeng spoke viciously to Xu Damao, then quickly left the cinema.

"You ungrateful bastard, you dare to threaten me? I'll kill you!"

Xu Damao saw Bang Geng going away and didn't care about his threat at all.

Jia Zhang was making matchboxes at home when she saw Bang Geng coming back angrily.

Jia Zhang quickly put down the work in her hands and said to Bang Geng who had an angry face.

"My dear grandson, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be at work? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Bang Geng heard Jia Zhang's question, he ignored her and went straight back to his "room" and lay on his camp bed.

Seeing that Banggeng ignored her, Jia Zhang didn't say much. She sat back and started pasting matchboxes.

"Maybe he got mad at work! Damn it, how dare you bully my grandson."

While making matchboxes, Jia Zhang cursed those who made her beloved grandson angry.

When Qin Huairu came home from get off work in the evening, she saw Banggeng at home. After asking, she found out that Banggeng had been fired.

The reason is that he had been in prison.

Bang Geng, who is unemployed again, is afraid that he will never be able to find a job again.

Thinking of Banggeng's bleak future, Qin Huairu's face was filled with worry.

I’m still young and out of work. What am I going to do in the future?

At this time, Jia Zhang said nonchalantly.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't Director Wang from the Street Office come to the yard a few days ago to promote the idea of ​​encouraging unemployed educated youth to respond to the country's call and go to the countryside?"

"Director Wang also said that as long as you have been sent to the countryside as an educated youth, you will be introduced to a proper job when you return to the city. That's a stable job!"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Yes, why not let Banggeng go to the countryside as an educated youth, and bring him back after two years? He will have a job, right?"

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi quickly found Banggeng who was falling asleep again.

I told him about going to the countryside to work.

Banggeng heard that as long as he went to the countryside, he would have a good job when he came back, so he became interested.

Most of the people in the yard are employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. They have a stable job and are given living expenses even if they don't go to work.

"But mom, I've been in jail. Will they let me go?"

Although Banggeng wanted to go, he was worried that people wouldn't want him.

Jia Zhang comforted her.

"What are you afraid of? Just go and sign up. We'll see if it works later. What if people don't know about it?"

Qin Huairu also felt that what Jia Zhang said was right, so she went to sign up first and see if it was successful later.

Bang Geng gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh.

"Okay, I'll go and be an educated youth. When I come back, I'll have a formal job. I'll go sign up tomorrow."

They did what they said. Early the next morning, Banggeng, accompanied by Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, went to register to become a great educated youth.

After registering Banggeng's information, the staff told them that someone would come to the courtyard to inform them in the next few days, but there would be special people to take them to the countryside.

Seeing that the staff did not ask too many questions, Qin Huairu and the others were secretly delighted.

I didn't expect to get away with it so easily.

So Qin Huairu went to the market to buy some meat, preparing to celebrate properly when she returned.

Jia Zhang also told everyone that her son Bang Geng was about to go to the countryside to work, as if it was something she was very proud of.

All those who knew that nothing was wrong looked at Jia Zhang as if she were an idiot.

Go to the countryside!

Ha ha!

I can only laugh!

Only those who have been there know that life is truly like hell.

But for someone like Banggeng who has been in labor reform for seven years, perhaps it really doesn't matter.

He Yuzhu also heard that Banggeng was going to be an educated youth. He felt that it was a good thing for this ungrateful person to leave the old city, so that he would not cause trouble all day long.

Within two days, someone came to Siheyuan to inform Banggeng to pack up and gather at the playground of Hongxing Primary School the next morning before setting off.

There was only one educated youth in the entire No. 95 compound, so naturally the Jia family became the focus of the entire courtyard.

This made the Jia family suddenly feel valued, and they couldn't help but straighten their backs.

"Huai Ru, do you know where your Bang Geng went to work as an educated youth? If he's near the city, it's fine, but if he's far away, it's terrible. We won't be able to see each other for a long time."

"I heard that the educated youth from the north and south were swapped. For example, those from the north were arranged to go to the south, while those from the south were mostly arranged to go to the north."

"If that's the case, then we'll probably go to the south this time. But I heard the climate in the south is better, much better than in the north."

The neighbors were chattering away, which made Banggeng somewhat prepared.

While in prison, he heard from a cellmate from the south that there were a lot of delicious food in the south, and the women there were different from those in the north, all of them were very beautiful.

This made Banggeng even more eager to become an educated youth.

Banggeng suffered from insomnia that night and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Thinking that he would soon be living in a new environment, he was very much looking forward to it.

I finally made it to dawn and could get up.

After washing up, taking with him his quilt, bedding and the dry food his family had prepared for him, he came to Hongxing Primary School accompanied by Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.

This is Banggeng’s alma mater. Coming here again, he is filled with emotion.

There are so many childhood memories everywhere.

There were many people of Banggeng’s age on the playground, all waiting there, both men and women, all with excited faces.

Perhaps it was their first time traveling far away, and their eyes were filled with longing for the outside world.

"Mom, Grandma, I'm going over first. I'll write to you when I get there."

Thinking about leaving his family whom he had just reunited with a few months ago, he felt a little sad even though it was a good joke.

After this separation, I don’t know how long it will take before we can be reunited.

"Take good care of yourself when you get there. If you run out of money, tell mom and I'll send you some!"

Qin Huairu also had tears in her eyes and waved goodbye to Chongbang.

Soon, someone led Banggeng and the others away, got on a military truck, and took them away.

Many parents were waving their hands hard, wanting to see their children again.

Many years passed after he left.

A lot of things have happened over the years, and some people have left forever.

We experienced another devastating earthquake of the century.

In 1978, the Fab Four collapsed.

Some die, some are imprisoned, no one has a good ending.

The so-called small soldiers were also quickly eliminated, and the entire country ushered in the most important day.

A circle was drawn around a small fishing village on the South China Sea. From this moment on, the entire country will have a chance to be reborn.

Stick terrier standing in the field.

He is 24 years old this year. Years of wind and sun have turned his skin into a wheat-colored color.

His thin face made him look much more mature.

The disability in his right hand has not yet healed, but it has not affected his facial features.

Bangteng has good looking facial features.

If it weren't for his disabled right hand, many rural girls would have liked him during those years when he was sent to the countryside to work.

But Banggeng doesn't like these country girls.

I am from the old city, and only girls from the city are worthy of me.

So he rejected all the kindness of the country girls.

However, there were also many educated youth who found their true love in the countryside, and settled down there, living a life with a wife and children.

I want to say that I am envious of Banggeng.

How could I not be envious.

He is in his twenties and has never touched a woman. It would be strange if I wasn't envious.

"Our hometown is in the fields of hope, smoke from cooking rises from the newly built houses, and a small river flows beside the beautiful village...!"

An exciting song was played over and over on the radio.

The people who had worked hard in the fields all day suddenly felt full of strength and plowed two more acres of land.

"A Bing, have you heard? There is a new policy now, saying that we educated youth can return to the city!"

An educated youth who was resting in the fields said to another educated youth.

"I know. I've asked. Those who have been sent to the countryside for more than five years can be given priority to return to the city. I've been an educated youth for six years. I will definitely be among the first batch to return to the city!"

Another educated youth talked about returning to the city, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked up at the sky.

Finally I can go back to the city.

"You're fine. I've only been an educated youth for three years, so I don't have enough experience. But I'm not afraid. I have a way. Maybe we can go back to the city at the same time!"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Bang Geng was curious.

"Go back to the city! How come I didn't know? No one told me!"

So Banggeng went over, took out a Daqianmen cigarette and gave one to each of them.

The two men looked at Banggeng, took the cigarette, took out a match to light it, and said thank you to Banggeng.

"Thanks, brother. By the way, your name is Bang Geng, right? I heard that you have been here for six years. You must be the first batch to return to the city this time. By the way, where are you from?"

The educated youth named A Bing spoke to Bang Geng in Cantonese-accented Mandarin.

Banggeng also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then spoke slowly.

"I'm from the city of Beijing. I came here at the end of 1973."

A Bing heard this and said.

"It's been six years, but seeing how confused you look, you don't seem to know about returning to the city. Didn't the person who was with you tell you about this?"

Banggeng is a proud person and doesn't get along well with the people around him, so no one ever tells him about this.

Seeing the confused look on his face, A Bing reminded happily.

"Go ask the leaders of the Youth League Office. Don't let everyone leave and you still be stupid and ignorant."

The so-called educated youth office is the party secretary of each commune, who holds the household registration of the educated youth.

If the educated youth wanted to return to the city, they had to transfer their household registration, otherwise they would still be illegal residents even if they returned to the city.

So some people held the lifeblood of these educated youth in their hands and extorted money from them.

What’s even more disgusting is that some good-looking female educated youth were even asked to do so.

In order to return to the city as soon as possible, some female educated youth had no choice but to agree in humiliation.

As a result, many bloody incidents occurred, mostly by male educated youth who were traveling with them and who learned that the female educated youth were being bullied.

They took sticks, kitchen knives, daggers and other things and went to deal with the branch secretary and others.

In fact, these so-called educated youth were mostly petty hooligans when they were in the city.

There were no jobs in the city, so they just hung out in groups of three or five all day, either fighting or stealing.

The country at the time was helpless with them. The city could not afford so many unemployed young people, so they were sent to the countryside for reform.

This made life difficult for the farmers. These educated youths had nothing better to do than steal and do shady things, which made their fellow villagers suffer.

So when it comes to the Youth League Office, the youth league members are afraid, and the branch secretaries are also afraid.

The educated youth were afraid because they were worried that their household registration would be revoked.

The branch secretaries were afraid that if they disagreed with them over a few words, these ignorant educated youth would stab them.

Banggeng took note of A Bing's words and went to find the branch secretary that night.

After giving a few boxes of gifts and twenty yuan, Banggeng successfully became one of the first educated youth from their commune to return to the city.

He Yuzhu also has a telephone installed at home. He asked his leader who had returned to the old city to install the telephone for him.

I'm just waiting for Ran Qiuye and the others' call, and I'm eager to know when they can come back.

Now the country is no longer closed and has opened up to the market to a great extent.

Ordinary people are even encouraged to start their own businesses, but at this time, they are called self-employed individuals.

Half a year ago, He Yuzhu bought a building in Wangfujing, which cost him more than 20,000 yuan.

He wants to open a luxurious club there which is not available in the city yet.

A luxurious club that integrates dining, resting and bathing.

This was something he had planned long ago.

Now the decoration is almost finished, and we are just waiting for the furniture to be moved in.

However, it cannot be called a club now, it can only be a restaurant. Since there is no KTV yet, there are no extra entertainment facilities.

The name is also cool, it’s called Tianwaitian.

Sichuan cuisine and Tan cuisine are the main ones, supplemented by Cantonese and Shandong cuisine.

It basically covers the famous cuisines from the north and south, and now, He Yuzhu is already building up momentum, because his name, He Yuzhu, is the best signboard.

Almost all the prominent people in the city know his name.
