Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

It was because Tian Ya thought about how she should live her life that she wanted to be self-reliant.

At least she would not use the interest on Yi Zhonghai's deposit certificate if she could. Even if she did, Tian Ya thought that she would have to pay it back in the future.

This is her real thought.

So now she works in the store very late every day.

Now Tian Ya’s income comes from two sources: one is the sewing work she does, and the other is the car repair tools left by Yi Zhonghai.

The street only revoked her license and did not confiscate her tools, so the tools remained in the store.

Tian Ya definitely doesn’t know how to repair bicycles. Even if she wants to learn, no customer would be willing to give her their bicycle for her to practice on.

But the stuff was all there. At first, an acquaintance nearby came over to borrow an air pump to inflate the tire and gave her a penny or two.

Tian Ya refused to take it. How could a man who could ride a bike take advantage of an orphan and a widow?
Then some acquaintances, when their cars broke down, would go directly to Tian Ya and ask her to borrow tools and repair the car themselves.

For example, if you want to get a tire repaired, you can go to other repair shops and get one for only five or eight cents.

When she got to Tian Ya, she used the ready-made tools to cut a piece directly from the used inner tube, using some glue left by Yi Zhonghai and some files.

After it’s repaired, give Tian Ya two or three cents for the material fee.

Tian Ya must have refused at first, but as time went on, this became another source of income for her.

Sometimes, Tian Ya would also look for acquaintances who had purchased goods from her before and help the customers purchase some accessories.

The profit on this one is slightly higher.

For example, the headlight on the front of a car is also a flashlight.

There will definitely be a price difference between customers buying by themselves and buying from Tian Ya.

She only earns a few cents each time from this, and no one cares about it.

The customers save money and Tian Ya can earn a little less, so everyone is happy.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done between familiar customers. If she were to do serious business, her peers would definitely cause trouble for her.

Tian Ya relies on these two sources of income to earn about ten yuan a month, which is enough for her to support her family.

This man has known Tian Ya for more than a week.

He came every day to stay with Tian Ya until seven or eight in the evening, then helped her close the shop and sent her to the entrance of the alley.

Tian Ya didn't dislike him because he was ugly or disabled. She was afraid of the man's body. If Yi Zhonghai came out and caused trouble for them, this man would not be able to stop him.

This is where Tian Ya hesitated.

Tian Ya raised her head and stole a glance at the sincere man opposite her, and said softly, "Comrade Hu, with your conditions, you can find a virgin girl in the countryside, but why would you like a woman like me who has a burden?
People say I'm a housewife. My first man died, and then my second one went to jail.

You are a good person, and I won’t hide it from you.

If Yi Zhonghai comes out, he will definitely cause trouble, and I'm afraid he will implicate you.

Or should we just forget it?"

As soon as Tian Ya said this, Comrade Hu's cheek twitched even more violently.

He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

The face became a yin-yang face, that is, the normal half and the twitching half of the cheek were obviously different in color.

The normal half of the cheek was already red, but this half was still sallow.

It does look a little scary.

After holding it in for a long time, Comrade Hu finally said, "My parents died of starvation, but the street office took pity on me and arranged a good factory for me.

My mother brought me to the countryside at first, and my father was a cart driver.

Those two years were difficult, so my mother took me to the city to live with my father. It was because my mother and I did not have city hukou that we lost our place.

Before she died, my mother told me several times not to look for someone like her.

If I encounter difficulty again..."

When Comrade Hu said this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Now both sides were synchronized, flowing down the cheeks and falling into the dust.

This is very clear. People chose Tian Ya because of her city household registration.

Therefore, sincerity is the greatest killer skill.

Comrade Hu now has a job and a city hukou, and Tian Ya and Cao'er also have city quotas, so Comrade Hu chose Tian Ya.

Love is a luxury, and sometimes it has to give way to the daily necessities of life.

"...Master, give me some encouragement!" At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

"Hey, the old man said to serve the people. The air pump is right next to the door, you can do it yourself." Tian Ya still habitually said the words in the little notebook.

This is also the norm these days, but among acquaintances, these words are less common.

Tian Ya only knows two or three sentences.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was the one who took charge of the reception work in the past.

There was a rustling sound outside the door.

At this time, Comrade Hu also consciously stopped talking and took two steps inside.

At this point, the two of them haven't established a relationship yet, and if they were seen by acquaintances, gossip would spread.

This subtle action warmed Tian Ya's heart.

The man is certainly not concerned about himself, so it is quite clear whose reputation he is concerned about.

It is difficult for people, especially those who are emotionally tired, to believe in those vows of love, but they are always moved by these subtle little actions.

"Hey, sir, the air pump is there, thank you, how much is it?" The man outside the door said as he walked into the shop and reached into his pockets.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm just giving you some encouragement. Why do you want money?" Tian Ya became flustered when the man came in and quickly refused.

It's just too late to refuse.

The man had walked in. He was so tall that he almost reached the light bulbs in the shop.

Of course, it’s not that the man really looks like a giant, but the shop built by Yi Zhonghai was not high to begin with.

The man's shadow covered Tian Ya and Comrade Hu, and Comrade Hu subconsciously thought of shrinking further inside.

"Hutou, why are you here?" As luck would have it, the man who entered the store shouted.

"Sun, Section Chief Sun, you..." Comrade Hu looked up and saw that he was indeed an acquaintance, but he could only take two steps forward and greet him.

"I'm going to visit our old factory director's house..." The tall man was Comrade Sun Youniu from the security department of the toy factory. The old factory director he was talking about was naturally He Yuzhu.

Only the first group of workers who entered would call He Yuzhu like this.

He Yuzhu is only in his thirties, but he is already used to the word "old".

This is definitely not a description of He Yuzhu's age, but the toy factory workers' sense of identity with He Yuzhu.

"I heard that the old factory director had another baby? Our general affairs department did collect some money and asked the section chief to go over, but the old factory director refused.···

Tsk tsk, what a good man." Hu Hutou also sighed.

It's just that this name doesn't quite match his appearance. (End of this chapter)
