Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Qin Huairu returned to Qinjia Village and returned home.

"Huairu, have you come to an agreement with the worker from the steel mill?"

"Mom and Dad, my relationship with him is over."

"what?"

"What happened?"

"Doesn't Jia Dongxu like you very much?"

Qin Huairu shook her head: "The Jia family is just a rotten thing on the inside, and the widow is just an unreasonable shrew."

"He's cunning, lazy, greedy and slippery."

"That Jia Dongxu looks like a decent guy, but he's actually a loser, an apprentice..."

Qin Huairu told her family about the character of Jia mother and son.

After hearing this, the people in the Qin family all gasped. What kind of family is this?

If I marry my daughter there, wouldn't that be like sending her into a fire pit?
"Huai Ru, we can't marry into a family like this, even if they are from the city. You are right."

"Yes, it's clearly just one room, but you insist on saying it's two rooms. Isn't that just shameless deception?"

"Your grandparents are so old, but they still work in the fields, and they never call themselves old people. How dare this Jia Zhang call herself an old person?"

"If you want to move to the city, then I'll find a matchmaker to introduce you to the Jia family later. Forget about this one."

The Qin family members talked at the same time, each one saying something.

Qin Huairu: "I found a new partner."

"Good work, good family, good person, and a cadre!"

"what?"

"Didn't you go on a blind date with the Jia family?"

"What's going on?"

Qin Huairu: "I just met the right person."

He took out the money He Yuzhu gave him: "This is the betrothal gift he gave me."

"Oh, you're very generous. Twenty dollars."

Qin Huairu: "It's definitely not as generous as the Jia family, who only gave a five-yuan betrothal gift."

Father Qin: "Huairu, this one of yours?"

Qin Huairu: "I have decided to follow this man."

"These twenty yuan are for you. This is the betrothal gift from mom and dad."

"I will go to the city and live with him later."

Mother Qin: "Why don't you bring the new son-in-law back for us to see?"

"Yes, Huairu, you must bring it back for us to take a look!"

Qin Huairu: "No need."

"He's busy with work and can't leave."

"When will you get the certificate?"

Qin Huairu: "I'll get the certificate when I get back."

This is a lie. There is no way He Yuzhu would get married with her. After all, He Yuzhu didn't even handle the matter between Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua, and he was in a state of panic.

If I hadn't insisted on sticking to him, He Yuzhu would never have wanted me in this life.

"What about the banquet?"

"No more banquet."

"what?"

"How can that be possible?"

Qin Huairu: "He is a cadre. He should avoid such excessive eating and drinking. It will affect his future."

The Qin family members stared at each other: "This..."

Qin Huairu: "This new style of wedding is popular in the city now, which is to accept blessings from colleagues and friends, and then give each person melon seeds, peanuts and candy."

Father Qin: "What about our side?"

Qin Huairu: "Don't worry about it. I'll tell him to send some gifts to my family when the time comes."

"The meat is in the buns, not in the folds. I just want to live a good life."

Qin Huairu said this, what else can the Qin family say?

In the evening, after all the Qin family's relatives left, Qin Huairu sat on the kang with his parents.

"Huairu, I always feel uneasy about your marriage."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry."

"I went to the city to live a good life."

"Don't be angry with me if I don't come back to see you often in the future. If there is any hardship at home, I will find a way to solve it."

"Don't go looking for me in the city."

Father Qin always felt that he had raised his daughter in vain.

The next day.

Qin Huairu went out early in the morning and went to Xu Huizhen's house.

He wanted to confirm one thing, that is, whether Xu Huizhen was also reborn with her memories like himself.

Qin Huairu found Xu Huizhen's home according to his memory, a low earthen building with a fenced yard.

Xu Huizhen came out with a sprayer to pour water, and when she saw him, the sprayer fell to the ground.

"Huairu."

"Huizhen!"

When Xu Huizhen called out her name, Qin Huairu knew the answer.

Xu Huizhen was also reborn with her memories, otherwise she wouldn't have called out her name the first time they met.

After all, they had never met before, so how could they know each other?
The two girls had a good relationship to begin with, and they cried with joy when they met this time.

"Huairu, I'm so happy that you can come to see me."

"I wanted to go find you, but you know my family's situation. It's even worse than yours. I don't have money to take a bus."

Qin Huairu: "Huizhen, are you okay?"

Xu Huizhen: "Okay, what about you?"

"Let's find a place where no one is around to chat."

"Okay, I'll take you out for a walk."

Xu Huizhen returned to the room: "Mom, I'm going to be out for a while."

"Huizhen, who's here?"

"One of my sisters."

"Why don't you invite them in to sit down?"

"Let's go out for a walk and have a personal chat."

Xu Huizhen took Qin Huairu to the grove behind the village.

"Huizhen, I went to the city to see Zhuzi."

"what?"

"When?"

"I just saw him. I came back yesterday."

"Zhu Zi, is he okay?"

"He's fine, don't you know about him?"

"I am now the deputy director of the steel mill canteen, and Uncle He is the director."

Xu Huizhen asked curiously, "Is Uncle He leaving?"

"Well, I didn't leave."

Xu Huizhen: "It must be Zhuzi. If not, Uncle He would have left with the widow by now."

Qin Huairu: "Huizhen, Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua have also been reborn with their memories."

Xu Huizhen: "I can guess it. You and I are like this, not to mention the two of them."

"Huizhen, do you still want to go into the city?"

Xu Huizhen was a little confused: "I don't know."

Qin Huairu: "I have already talked to Mu Chunhua, I am going to the city."

"You know what life is like in the countryside. If we don't move to the city, are we just going to marry someone casually and live a hard life in the countryside, facing the loess and back to the sky?"

Xu Huizhen: "It's useless if only Mu Chunhua agrees. What about Chen Xueru?"

Qin Huairu: "She will agree."

"Besides, I've already slept with Zhuzi."

Xu Huizhen: "You are still so bold."

Qin Huairu stretched out her hand, then clenched her fist: "Happiness must be earned by yourself."

"Although Zhuzi loves Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua the most, we also have a place in the He family, right?"

"You are so optimistic!"

"There's nothing to worry about. It's only been a few years since the founding of the country. Wasn't that the case with the wealthy families a few years ago?"

Xu Huizhen: "That's true."

"When will you come into town?"

"I just came to see you this time, and I will go back to the city tomorrow."

"How did you explain this to your family?"

"What else can I say? You know Zhuzi doesn't like my family. I told my family this time and asked them not to come to the city to look for me. If they have any difficulties, I will secretly give them some money."

"As for the others, forget it. It's impossible that they did evil to Zhuzi in the last life and they will still do so in this life."

Xu Huizhen thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll move to the city, too." "My family is having a hard time right now, as you can see."

"My house is full of leaks and it leaks in the summer. It needs to be repaired. Besides, we don't have much food left. If we don't find a way out, we will starve."

Qin Huairu: "Tomorrow you can go to the steel mill and find the pillars when you enter the city."

"Otherwise I'll take you directly home, Mu Chunhua will be unhappy."

Xu Huizhen: "Mu Chunhua's personality is okay, it's mainly Chen Xueru!"

Qin Huairu: "Actually, Chen Xueru is easy to deal with. Just don't provoke her. What she wants is the position of the He family's first wife."

"Keep this money and save it for tomorrow's bus ride."

"Huairu, I won't say thank you to you."

Qin Huairu: "Why should we be polite? I'm waiting for you in the city, and I still need you to help me."

Xu Huizhen understood that only the two of them working together could make He Yuzhu feel some attachment.

"I am leaving."

"I'll take you out of the village."

"By the way, I remember Zhao Jianshe is from your village?"

"I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me."

Qin Huairu: "Look for Zhao Jianshe first and see if he has any memories."

"It would be best if he brings it with him. If not, you can arrange for him to meet Zhu."

"Zhu Zi is a sentimental person. With Zhao Jianshe around, he will remember your kindness even more."

When we arrived at the entrance of the village and were waiting for the bus, Xu Huizhen said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to keep you for dinner, but there's nothing delicious at home."

Qin Huairu: "There's no need for politeness between you and me."

Seeing the bus coming, Qin Huairu hugged Xu Huizhen and said, "I'll wait for you in the city."

Xu Huizhen nodded: "Okay, wait for me, I will meet you soon!"

Xu Huizhen watched Qin Huairu get into the car. The two waved and watched Qin Huairu slowly disappear.

Walking back to the village, Xu Huizhen thought for a while and then went to Zhao Jianshe's house.

At this time, Zhao Jianshe had not yet joined the army and was still a young man.

“Construction.”

"Huizhen?"

"You have something to do with me?"

"Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Zhao Jianshe was chopping firewood in the yard. He put down his axe and walked out.

"Jianshe, do you remember anything from your previous life?"

Zhao Jianshe felt a little confused and scratched his head: "Xu Huizhen, you are so weird, who can remember things from their previous life?"

"Wouldn't that make it a monster?"

Xu Huizhen knew that Zhao Jianshe had not been reborn.

He laughed and said, "I'm just kidding you."

"I'm going to visit a friend in the city tomorrow. He's a cadre at a state-owned factory in the city. If you want to work in the city, I can help you make the connection."

Zhao Jianshe asked in confusion: "Do you still have this relationship?"

"I haven't heard that you've been to the city before?"

Xu Huizhen: "You don't know this. My friend is a man."

"Oh, I see."

"But it's probably not easy to get into the city, right?"

"Well, I'll go there and ask for you tomorrow."

Zhao Jianshe: "My family doesn't have money to give gifts."

“You don’t have to give money.”

"Isn't your grandfather a hunter? Doesn't he have any good things?"

Zhao Jianshe: "Can city people appreciate those things?"

Xu Huizhen: "Just bring something with you tomorrow, and let's go explore the way first."

"I'm going back. If you want to trust me, come with me into the city tomorrow."

Zhao Jianshe: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family."

After Xu Huizhen left, Zhao Jianshe returned home.

"Jianshe, why does Xu Huizhen want to see you?"

"Yeah, are you two dating?"

Zhao Jianshe: "Don't talk nonsense, isn't this a bad reputation?"

"She came to me and said that she was going to the city tomorrow. She had a friend in the city who was a cadre in a state-owned factory, and she wanted to take me to meet him to see if there was any chance of getting me a job."

"What? When did Xu Huizhen's family know the benefactor of this sheep?"

Zhao Jianshe: "Mom and Dad, Xu Huizhen said this friend is a man."

"Oh!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao looked as if they understood.

"But why would Xu Huizhen take the initiative to help you?"

"Is it because I'm good at fighting?"

"Tsk, there are so many people with good skills, is it your turn?"

"I do not know then."

"Dad and Mom, what do you think? Should I go into the city with her tomorrow?"

Dad didn't say anything, but Zhao Jianshe's grandfather spoke first.

"go."

"why are you not going."

"What if it's true? This is our Zhao family's chance to change their fate!"

"When you succeed, you will become a city dweller. When you have a job, your whole family can come to you and live with you as city dwellers."

Zhao Jianshe: "Grandpa, what should I bring into the city?"

Mr. Zhao took a few puffs of welding smoke and looked at the tiger skin hanging on the wall.

Pointing: "Take it."

"what?"

Father Zhao was anxious: "Dad, such a valuable thing."

Mr. Zhao: “Shut up.”

"You ignorant bastard."

"This thing is a dead object. If I can use it to buy a better future for my grandson and a better way of life for my Zhao family, I would even give it to my life."

Father Zhao: "Dad, your brothers risked their lives to get this back. Several of them died or were injured for him."

Mr. Zhao: "There are only two things we can show off in our family. One is this, and the other is the century-old ginseng."

"In comparison, the century-old ginseng is more precious."

"I'll give it to him as a stepping stone first. If he agrees to build it, I'll do it."

"Then give him this old mountain ginseng as well."

Father Zhao: “Why is that?”

Mr. Zhao: "You just want to raise a child?"

"What about the other kids?"

"If I don't have a job in the city, am I going to be a second-rate person?"

Mr. Zhao has made the final decision, and Mr. Zhao's father can only listen.

At the steel rolling mill, the workshop has announced that a shift system will be implemented soon.

New people started to arrive in the cafeteria to prepare for the shift change.

He Daqing: "Zhu Zi, although this night shift requires staying up late, it may not be appropriate to only cook one meal in the evening."

He Yuzhu: "Yes, the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth."

"From now on, those working the night shift will not only have to prepare midnight meals, but also breakfast."

"The morning shift is responsible for lunch and dinner."

He Daqing: "That's settled."

He Yuzhu: "You take the day shift, and I'll take the night shift."

"Take care of it for a few days, then hand it over to Lao Yang."

"I'll take care of it for a few days and then hand it over to Lao Song."

"Once they are familiar with it, we can get away."

He Daqing: "Go check out the kitchen. There are so many people with connections here. It's going to be difficult to deal with."

He Yuzhu: "Okay, I'll go take a look."

When he arrived at the kitchen, everyone greeted him when they saw him.

The old people who were familiar with him used to call him Master He, and the newcomers called him Deputy Director He.

He Yuzhu: "Since everyone is not busy, let me say a few words."

"New colleagues, you will be our own people in the cafeteria from now on. As long as you work hard, no one will make things difficult for you."

"But no matter what your background is, since you are here in the cafeteria, you have to be worthy of a job. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I won't cause trouble for you either."

"You can choose between the canteen and the workshop. I think the work in the canteen is easier than that in the workshop."

Someone raised his hand: "Deputy Director He, what if I want to become your disciple?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "That depends on whether they will accept you as their apprentice." (End of this chapter)
