Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

He had a premonition that this time it might be another daughter, but as a modern man, he did not care about the gender of the child. Moreover, in the story, Xu Huizhen also gave birth to three daughters in succession. This might be the trajectory of her life.

Many changes have also taken place in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu's second child was also a daughter, and she named the new life Xiaodang. At the same time, she and Xu Huizhen almost simultaneously welcomed their third pregnancy.

This made life even more difficult for Qin Huairu's family, who were already living in poverty, especially since they lived in such a small space, the pressure of life was even more obvious.

In addition, after Yang Ming's careful treatment, Xu Damao's infertility problem was solved.

However, because the previous infertility rumors had already spread in Nanluoguxiang, he still found it difficult to get rid of this shadow in the past two years, and no one came to find a suitable partner for him.

Although Xu Damao's illness has recovered, the bitterness and helplessness in his heart are beyond words.

At this moment, Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, has retired from his projection job at the steel rolling mill, paving a path of inheritance for his son Xu Damao.

However, Xu Fugui chose a different path. He applied for a transfer to a movie theater as a projectionist, and took Xu's mother and Xu Damao's sister away from the courtyard they once knew.

From then on, Xu Damao's life trajectory took a new turn. While showing movies in the countryside, he also brought back some rural specialties from time to time and continued to take care of the young widow.

The living conditions of each household in the current courtyards are still similar to the past. As for Qianmen Street, the merchants have also completed the transformation of public-private partnership in the tide of the times, such as taverns and silk shops, which have become public properties.

However, the competition between the silk shop, as the first responder in Qianmen Street, and the tavern, which came later, became increasingly fierce.

Encouraged by Yang Ming, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru, two strong women on Qianmen Street, have always been competing with each other in various fields.

They each create a stir from time to time, making Qianmen Street full of life and vigor.

It is worth mentioning that with Yang Ming's help, Cai Quanwu and Liu Lan finally got married.

At their wedding, Yang Ming served as the master of ceremonies and carefully arranged the wedding for them. After marriage, Liu Lan continued to work in the steel rolling mill, while Cai Quanwu was busy in the tavern, assisting in management as an employee.

This year, due to severe natural disasters, the national grain output dropped sharply, many people faced the threat of hunger, and life became extremely difficult. A large number of people were displaced and poured into the city of Beijing, looking for a ray of hope.

Against this background, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru took the lead in Qianmen Street and donated some food to help the disaster-stricken people.

Their actions have been highly recognized and strongly supported by the street office.

However, Yang Ming is well aware of the severity of this natural disaster. He knows that although he cannot change the predicament brought about by the natural environment, he also knows that he should do something.

He always adheres to the belief that "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world", and does his best to help those in need within his ability.

At the same time, a general meeting was held in the courtyard. Due to the impact of natural disasters, the rationed food supply has been decreasing since the end of last year, and the situation is even more severe and difficult this year.

In the tranquility of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, three elders on weekdays, now had rare serious expressions, which made the atmosphere of the whole courtyard solemn in an instant.

"I have something important to convey." Yi Zhonghai's voice was low but powerful. "According to the instructions of the subdistrict office and superiors, we have suffered serious natural disasters this year and grain production has dropped sharply. For the stability and development of the country, we must jointly promote the spirit of thrift."

"Therefore, starting from this month, our food distribution will be adjusted." He continued, "For those who used to do heavy manual labor, such as workers like us, the original 36 kilograms of food coupons per month will now be reduced to 28 kilograms. As for other residents..."

Although Yi Zhonghai hadn't finished speaking, the residents in the courtyard had already felt the heavy pressure, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force. Even those who were usually active and lively restrained their smiles and became silent.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely depressing, as if even the air had frozen.

The reduction in food not only affected workers like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, but also made all city residents feel unprecedented pressure.

Their monthly food rations were drastically reduced, and they were struggling to get enough food every day. Perhaps some people thought that since there was not enough food, they could just eat more vegetables.

But the reality is cruel. Vegetables, pork, and even (Li Liaozhao) the monthly oil coupons have been drastically reduced.

Pork is only half a pound a month, and only during special times like the Spring Festival and National Day can it be increased to one pound. This means that it is almost impossible to taste meat every day.

This dilemma is not limited to Siheyuan, the entire Sijiu City and even the whole country are facing the same challenge. Yi Zhonghai and others looked at the predicament in front of them, and their hearts were filled with worries.

Especially those families with large populations, such as Yan Bugui's family, he alone supports the livelihood of the entire family.

At this moment, he frowned, thinking about how to make sure his whole family could make ends meet with the limited food.

In this case, they can only prioritize ensuring that the labor force in the family can eat enough to maintain their daily work and life. For others, they can only try to save money and reduce energy consumption.

At this moment, the sound of "beep beep" broke the silence of the yard. Yang Ming walked into the yard with his two daughters. The eldest daughter Yang Jingli just turned five and a half years old and was in the first grade of elementary school, and her classmate Bang Geng also followed beside her.

Although they are still young, they also face this difficult dilemma.

However, for Yang Ming's family, they may have their own coping strategies to make this difficult time less unbearable.

In the bustling crowd, Yang Ming's figure stood out, and following closely beside him were his two beautiful daughters.

Obviously, they not only inherited their father's handsomeness, but also inherited Xu Huizhen's intelligence. They were always among the best in their studies and sat at the top of the class. Meanwhile, Banggeng's situation was quite different. Although his grades were not terrible, he always hovered at the bottom of the class.

This obvious difference made Yang Jingli the envy of everyone in the neighborhood. Whenever Yang Ming walked by with his daughters, there would always be people looking at him with envy and mocking eyes.
