The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 385 Summer insects cannot talk about ice!!
"Oh, by the way, if your sister eats at our house, remember to bring her own food," Yan Bugui added.

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone her who is just my daughter-in-law’s sister?

In the Yan family, feelings have always been one thing, but matters involving money still have to be made clear in advance.

Why don’t I scratch you to death? ? ! ! Yu Li cursed in her heart, but answered respectfully on the surface.

For a hundred dollars and a new house, a new kitchen, and living expenses, water and electricity bills that I no longer have to pay, I endured it!!! When you move to the back house, who will still look at your face? ?

After the task was arranged, Yan Bugui was afraid that the others would not take it seriously, so he reminded them: "You all have to pay attention. Our family can come up with this idea, but who knows if the others in the yard can..."

As he spoke, he raised his chin and pointed towards the backyard: "It's possible that other people have the same idea as us. If someone gets there first, then everything will be in vain.

Not only did our family lose the 200 yuan, but my in-laws also had to spend a full 1,000 yuan to find a job for Yu Haitang."

Then he would not be able to get the 100 yuan he got from it!!! Yan Jiecheng looked solemn.

Yu Li also immediately became serious and secretly made up her mind to do the job well.

In the middle courtyard,

Liu Haizhong was sitting at Yi Zhonghai's house, and the two of them were sitting opposite each other, one was smoking, and the other was sipping tea from a large enamel teacup with the red words "Excellent Worker" printed on it.

After a moment of silence, Liu Haizhong spoke first: "Lao Yi, do you think the method I just mentioned is feasible?"

Yi Zhonghai just took a sip of tea, spit the tea leaves back into the cup, and smacked his lips: "Well, how should I put it? The eldest son of the Zhang family is serving in the army and I don't know when he will come back. The third boy, he is only sixteen now, right? Isn't it too early to arrange a blind date now?"

"Well, you can get engaged before you join the army. Sixteen is not too young to go on a blind date. Have you forgotten that in the old society, you and his aunt were together when you were sixteen?" Liu Haizhong directly exposed his shortcomings. "Because of this, his aunt's father went to the steel mill and beat you up when you were still a fitter apprentice. The slapping sounded so loud that your face was swollen like a pig's head... I still can't forget it."

Damn it... Yi Zhonghai's face darkened immediately: "It is said that even heroes are afraid of meeting old neighbors! I am afraid that you will expose my shortcomings. I have lived a clean life, but you keep bringing this up."

Liu Haizhong chuckled and said, "Although Zhang Fendou is only sixteen years old, if the blind date goes well, and the two of them spend a few more years together, they will be almost the same.

Besides, the woman I want to introduce is three years older than him. She is three years older than him and holds a lot of gold bricks. But the woman has reached the legal age for marriage and can get married at any time.

Of course, it would be best to introduce her to Zhang Pingan. After all, he is old enough, and if they see eye to eye, they can get married right away, to avoid unnecessary complications."

Early this morning, his wife went back to her parents' home, bringing two kilograms of sour rice with her. She learned from an distant relative that her seventh uncle's third niece was pretty but unmarried. She was so happy that she immediately said she wanted to introduce a partner to the other party.

At first, the girl's family was not happy when they heard that the boy had ten brothers. But later, when they heard that the boy's father was a senior fitter and his uncle was the deputy director of a steel mill, they immediately agreed.

After all, no matter what era, if you have good conditions, you will never have to worry about not being able to find a wife.

Yi Zhonghai was completely speechless to Liu Haizhong: "You have already made up your mind, why are you still asking me? You are all really interesting. Seeing that the He family has taken advantage of the old Zhang family, you all rush forward like bees seeing honey."

He actually wanted to say that he saw a fly on a shit stick, but his long-standing character and his status as an old man made him hold back his words.

Liu Haizhong disagreed with his comments: "Zhang Shenfei said that he would arrange a job for He Yushui, who wouldn't be jealous?
Tsk, you act like you are indifferent to fame and fortune now, isn't it because your child is still young and it's not his turn? Wait until Wei Hong grows up and see if you are anxious or not?"

After saying this, he saw Zhang Ximei and Yi Weihong playing in the mud together in the middle courtyard. He suddenly remembered something and laughed:
"No, Zhang Ximei, the ninth daughter of the Zhang family, has a special liking for your Yi Weihong. How can you be indifferent to fame and fortune? You have already occupied a position and are not flustered. You are pretending to be a big shot in front of me! !
Lao Yi, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you're really too rude. You ate the meal yourself, but you don't want to give it to me, and you want to ruin the pot?"

Bah! I've seen this guy is a hypocrite for a long time, he wants to take all the benefits for himself and doesn't leave any for others! Despicable!

He is so clever, no wonder he has so many disciples, but none of them came to give gifts in three sessions! !

Unlike his apprentices, who are all very filial, there is Lan Xiaolan, who has now been transferred to the rebar factory as workshop director, and she still remembers to send him cigarettes and alcohol.

Speaking of Zhang Ximei and Yi Weihong, Yi Zhonghai became even more upset: "Don't take children's words seriously. Our Weihong, hey, let's talk about it later..."

In fact, he didn't want Yi Weihong to marry into the Zhang family at all.

Not to mention anything else, Tang Da Niu is a tigress. Will anything good come from being her daughter-in-law?

Besides, they have only one child, Yi Weihong. According to his idea, it would be best to find a son-in-law who is a poor peasant from the countryside or the city, the kind with a gentle personality and easy to handle.

Even if he doesn't become a son-in-law, he still has to support them and their husband for the rest of their lives.

It is said that a child's character can be seen at the age of three. The ninth child of the Zhang family is no easy person now. He also has Tang Da Nv and his second uncle Zhang Shenfei, who is the deputy factory director.

If he really married Wei Hong, how could that boy be willing to take care of them and their husband in their old age?
As the saying goes, raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. Yi Zhonghai doesn't care what his children think at all.

But he definitely doesn't want a son-in-law who can't provide for him in his old age.

Summer insects cannot talk about ice. People in different positions cannot understand each other's situation. The two talked about irrelevant things and finally parted unhappily.

Lao Jia's family,
Speaking of the people in the courtyard being jealous of He Yushui, Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Everyone has red eyes, as if they are sick."

Qin Huairu didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such a thing. She opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Mom, I thought you would..."

"Do you think I'll get involved? Do you want to find partners for those Zhang family members?" Jia Zhang sneered, "Am I that kind of person?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang/Uncle Qin nodded repeatedly.

Well, how could it not be? ? For so many years, in the entire Siheyuan, Nanluoguxiang, and even the entire steel mill, who didn't know that Zhang Cuihua only followed Zhang Shenfei's lead?
Why are you willing to fall behind this time?
As if seeing the confusion of the two, Jia Zhang sneered again: "How could it be said that you all know nothing? What is the purpose of finding partners for those boys from the Zhang family? Isn't it just to curry favor with Dafei and take advantage of him? But what about me?"

Speaking of this, Jia Zhang was very proud.

"What's my relationship with Dafei? We are close friends!! How many things have I done for him? Should I help the Zhang family boys find a date? If Dafei has something good happen to him, can I be blamed for it?"

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the years when Zhang Shenfei worked at the steel mill. How many lunch boxes did she wash for others and how many times did she cut in line?
And ever since Tian Xiaozao joined the neighborhood committee and later went to the street office.

In the Jiaodaokou area, all the unruly old ladies and street urchins were scolded and punished by her.

How many times had she asked Lao Jia to go up and down for this? Lao Jia's legs must have become three times thinner.

And last time, when Grandma Zhang and the deaf old lady had an argument, she was the one who saw the injustice and stood up to help Grandma Zhang scold the deaf old lady, who rolled her eyes.

Just for these reasons, Zhang Shenfei can't just ignore her!!!

Jia Zhang was very confident: "If you want to take advantage of Zhang Shenfei's power, the best strategy is to curry favor with Zhang Shenfei himself, the middle strategy is to curry favor with his family. The worst strategy is to curry favor with his brother and sister-in-law who have already separated from the family!!

What about Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui? Are they worthy of me? "

Qin Huairu/Uncle Qin: “!!!”

It has to be you!! …

Although Secretary Fan is new to the company, he is incredibly efficient.

On the third day after the banquet, news came from He Yushui's work.

The Sijiucheng Tobacco Factory was a leisurely department with serious cadres.

Sha Zhu cried out that smoke was coming out of the He family's ancestral grave. As soon as he got the news, he took He Yushui straight to the department store and bought a set of Lenin suits, which was the standard outfit for female cadres in those days.

After leaving the department store, he went straight to the trust store and bought a 70% new 28-inch bicycle for 72 yuan (almost all his savings).

When the brother and sister returned to the courtyard again, Shazhu was very proud and looked at everyone with his nose.

When he met Xu Damao, he sneered: "Some people, after working in a steel mill for ten years, are only a 22nd level officer.

Isn’t it said that scientific knowledge is the primary productive force? Look at our Yu Shui, on his first day at work, he is a serious cadre! ! "

Is there anyone in the whole courtyard who doesn't know how He Yushui, this cadre, came about? Xu Damao dared not speak out in anger, and could only curse Sha Zhu in his heart as a big idiot.

When she gets married, He Daqing appears in the courtyard like a bolt from the blue. She will be in big trouble!

But at this moment, He Yushui was present after all. Besides, if he refuted that He Yushui's identity as a cadre was not legitimate, wouldn't that be going against Zhang Shenfei?

So he just walked past the other person with a shy look on his face, as if he didn't hear what Sha Zhu said.

From childhood to adulthood, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao would curse each other whenever they met, and would fight after a few curses. They had never seen the other side lose without a fight, and they suddenly lost interest.

"What happened to this thief Sun today?"

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Yan Bugui, Uncle Chen, Auntie One, and Uncle Two, and I couldn't help showing off again.

While showing off, I was thinking to myself, what a great feeling it is to be a member of the privileged class!
The uncles were still angry but dared not say anything. They secretly made up their minds to find a way to find partners for the boys from the Zhang family so that they could enjoy the treatment of being the king's uncle.

He Yushui pulled her brother's clothes unhappily: "Brother, we all live in the same yard...Everyone knows what my job is like, can you keep a low profile?"

Sha Zhu didn't think so: "So what? We have connections, that's our ability! Do you think they don't want to? Just look at Xu Damao, Uncle Yan, Second Uncle, Uncle Chen and the others. If this good thing happened to them, they would be even more proud than me!!"

He Yushui sighed helplessly: "Anyway, don't cause me any trouble."

"I got it. Why are you wasting your time?" Sha Zhu was unhappy because he spent money but got nothing good in return.

Seeing this, He Yushui had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.

The tiles are already covered with frost, and I feel sad when I want to send you winter clothes.

As the days passed, the Cold Clothes Festival soon arrived.

This day is the day to commemorate deceased family members.

Jia Zhang was also exceptionally silent that day.

Zhang Shenfei skipped half a day of classes to go home and pay tribute to the elders with his elder brother, sister-in-law and Xiaozao.

The relationship between their two families' elders was not strong, and the four of them could only find one pair of parents, Tian Xiaozao's father and Tang Danniu's mother, and the other four were no longer alive.

Fortunately, the time that passes by like flowing water always brings away the pain of losing loved ones. More than ten years have passed, and few people can face the sadness calmly.

The old customs and practices of funerals before the founding of the People's Republic of China were not only tormenting the dead but also the living.

A funeral has to go through countless procedures including changing the basket, small burial, announcing the death, publishing the disaster list, obtaining a license, making mourning clothes, selecting materials, transferring the body, large burial, setting up the mourning shed, building the mourning hall, staying at the funeral home, receiving the body for three days, staying overnight, bidding farewell to the spirit, leaving the hall, lifting the coffin, the funeral procession, setting up the tea table, roadside sacrifice shed, and burial.

There are many procedures, and both high-ranking officials and ordinary people insist on a lavish burial.

Before liberation, in order to look good, some people even resorted to extreme means such as borrowing high-interest loans just to get things done.

After liberation, people believed that "an extra bowl of water during one's lifetime is better than a pile of ashes in front of one's grave." The situation has improved slightly.

But the necessary sacrifices and ceremonies are still necessary three times a year: the Shangyuan Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Xiayuan Festival.

If there were no younger generations, it would mean that there would be no one to offer sacrifices to the deceased, and the deceased would not be at peace in the underground.

The Zhang family was stacking gold ingots in the house. Tang Danniu's hands were moving non-stop, and she started talking about how Aunt Yan and Second Aunt had been particularly close to her recently.

"All day long, they either ask what rank our Ping An is in the army and how much he gets paid. Or they ask whether our third child will take the high school entrance exam or the technical secondary school entrance exam next year." At this point, she curled her lips and said, "I think these two are holding back their farts."

Tian Xiaozao followed suit and smiled: "Maybe he's jealous of the job we arranged for Yu Shui."

It is so difficult to arrange a job these days. The threshold of their street office is trampled by people every day.

Many people use connections and give gifts just to find a job in a large company. If that doesn't work, an ordinary unit will do.

Not to mention other places, just take their Jiaodaokou Street. In recent years, there are more and more young people in Daye. If they don’t have a job, they will look for trouble. The world is in chaos, and these have become a burden.

Others have been waiting for years for a job, but what about He Yushui, a young woman who just graduated?
Just because she was engaged to the second son of the Zhang family, she could choose a job at either the textile factory in the department store or the cigarette factory in Sijiucheng.

Who wouldn't be jealous if this happened to them? ? ?

The uncles and aunts in the courtyard not only found Tang Danniu, but some of them also tried to test her in words and deeds every time they saw her, wanting to introduce some girls to the boys in the Zhang family.

But she always evaded the question.

Zhang Shenliang also sighed: "This is too much. Our third child is only sixteen this year, and the second uncle has hinted at it several times."

Ah? Me?

Zhang Fendou, who was throwing ancient copper coins at the yellow paper, turned pale when he heard this.

Zhang Fenjin teased him, "Third brother, if you become related to the second uncle, when he beats up Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, he won't beat you up as well, right? It's just a matter of convenience anyway."
