Siheyuan: My wife is Wen Li

Chapter 42 Talking about the year

"Small stoves are my strong point. If I went to another unit, I would at least be a fourth-level cook." He Yuzhu explained what happened before.

"As far as our factory is concerned, I'm at the top of the sixth-level cook. If you dare to wear small shoes for me, the man will turn around and leave without serving."

"The level of the rolling mill is here, where can they go to find a chef besides me?"

"Well, it makes sense!" Yan Bugui nodded, "Why don't you say that you craftsmen are the same everywhere you have crafts!"

"By the way, you haven't said it yet!"

"What did Yi Zhonghai tell you back then?"

He Yuzhu poured the wine again, and then said: "Back when Yi Zhonghai came to drink with me, he kept persuading me to bring the rainwater to Baocheng and bring my father back."

"I was also angry and aggrieved at the time, and I really wanted to go there and ask for myself."

"It's just that I drank too much later. When I woke up, I lay on the bed thinking, since he's gone, can we really find him if we go looking for him?"

"And it was the time for the grading assessment!"

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, "That's right, I wouldn't even remember it if you didn't tell me."

"Third Master, your primary school was taken over early, and the Red Star Primary School that was renamed later is considered the primary school for the children of the rolling mill." He Yuzhu said: "But our rolling mill is involved in many things, which are privately operated, and dividends are involved. question."

"If I had taken He Yushui away at that time, and I had just missed the grading when I came back, let alone the grading, would I still have my share in this job?"

"Even if I go again and don't participate in the qualifications, I will just be a helper cook!"

"Give me the treatment of a tenth-level cook at most, how much is the salary difference?"

Yan Bugui nodded, "Yes, it seems that Yi Zhonghai has no good intentions!"

"When I got up early the next day, I remembered my things at home, and then I searched and found money at the bottom of the box, which is almost equivalent to more than 500 now!" He Yuzhu then said: "Most of the other money was taken by my dad. gone."

"But I don't know how many there were in the family at the time!"

"Then there are noodle tanks and vegetable cellars. There are a lot of things in them, enough for me and the rain to eat for a long time."

"If I don't take a look at it, it's up to me whether there are any after I come back. I'll lock the door from then on."

Yan Bugui asked in shock: "You mean Lao Yi will take things from your house?"

"I don't know!" He Yuzhu shook his head, "Yi Zhonghai is an old worker in the factory. He knows the importance of grading, but he always asks me to go to Baocheng."

"This is obviously not right. I have to speculate on his purpose with the greatest malice."

Yan Bugui was very shocked, it turned out to be like this at the beginning, he did not participate in it at that time, neither did the second uncle Liu Haizhong, only Yi Zhonghai came to He Yuzhu's house.

He Yuzhu continued: "He came again early the next morning and asked us brothers and sisters to go to Baocheng, but I kicked him out in the end. He looked like he couldn't believe it."

"Afterwards, I had no contact with their family, even the Jia family."

Yan Bugui now understood that the two families had been in conflict for a long time, and Yi Zhonghai was just taking advantage of the lean years to attack, but how many years had it been?

Is it because Yi Zhonghai suddenly took action because an opportunity arose during the lean years?

"Zilla!" Yan Bugui said, "You have to be careful about Yi Zhonghai in the future!"

"It's okay!" He Yuzhu smiled, "If a cow doesn't drink water, can he still forcefully press its head?"

"He doesn't have the strength. If he really wants to trouble me, I'll just fight him with my fists. He's just an old man in the courtyard!"

"What about him?"

"In the factory and I'm in the cafeteria, I can't even get close to him. He just needs to be honest."

"Otherwise, let me see how I deal with him!"

Afterwards, the two exchanged glasses and drank half a bottle of wine before Yan Bugui got up to say goodbye.

Only at this time did Wen Li speak, "Zhuzi, I didn't feel what you said before, but this time I really felt it. Your compound is really complicated!"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Where is this?"

"Wait, it's good that there are no major events in the courtyard. Once something important happens and breaks the current balance, it will be troublesome!"

"Anyway, remember, in this compound, don't have extra sympathy, because it's not worth it, and you might be bitten back."

……

This matter passed like this, and then until the Chinese New Year, He Yuzhu's family often went to Wen's house, and they didn't pay much attention to the people in the compound, and the matter gradually subsided.

1960 was not a good year. As the drought continued, this year was still not a good year. He Yuzhu always secretly sent food to the Wen family.

In this way, the two families were able to eat enough without feeling bloated.

Since the steel rolling mill is a key unit and involves heavy physical labor, although there is little food, we try to ensure the ration for front-line workers.

However, the Jia family's life is not easy. Because of their large rural household registration, their family's ration is insufficient.

Especially now that the crackdown on Pigeon City is extremely strict, it is even more difficult to buy food, and Jia's family now has five members.

Even if Jia Dongxu's salary is high, it's useless. The family's rations are really not enough. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's support, their family would starve to death.

Jia Dongxu is also worried about this matter, he can't watch his mother, wife, and children go hungry!
So I can only eat as little as possible, eat one meal in the factory cafeteria at noon, and try not to eat in the morning and evening. Now most people have two meals a day, or even one meal.

Yi Zhonghai felt that there was no way out, so he turned his mind on He Yuzhu again, but this time he had learned his lesson and was going to speak in private first.

But he couldn't go by himself, so he first went to Liu Haizhong, "Old Liu, the Jia family is having a hard time, and the whole family relies on Jia Dongxu's alone."

"I did provide some support, but it wasn't enough!"

Liu Haizhong was taken aback, this time Yi Zhonghai actually found him again, "Old Yi, don't you still want to find He Yuzhu?"

"It's only been a few months?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "There is no other way. We can't watch their family starve to death, right?"

"As for what?" Liu Haizhong frowned, "You two don't discount your rations. You can support ten catties of stick noodles a month and you can't make it through?"

Liu Haizhong was reluctant, after all, he was very shameless last time.

"Jia Dongxu has lost a lot of weight now. After all, there are old and young in the family, so he can't watch his family starve?" Yi Zhonghai said, "If people starve to death in our compound, it's a big deal!"
