The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 200: Things in the Courtyard
History is unstoppable. What is supposed to happen will always happen when it is supposed to happen. A small mantis like Liu Hua cannot stop the wheel of history.

Liu Hua lay dormant, just like when he first started working. He followed the crowd every day, wandering around the workshops with a tool bag on his back. He also helped deal with various mechanical failures, working when he should work and studying when he should study.

Li Huaide used to be the factory director, but now he has become the director. In the TV series, he was originally the deputy factory director, and became the director after bringing down factory director Yang, so he needs Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao to help him bite people.

Now he is the factory manager. After becoming the director, he hopes for stability. Those people who are jumping around and want to stand out are all suppressed by Li Huaide.

Through a series of operations, Xu Damao finally succeeded in getting promoted and became the team leader of the propaganda department. However, he could not write articles or make blackboard newspapers, so he could only take his team members with buckets of glue to post slogans everywhere every day.

Xu Damao was very excited because he finally became an official. Even though he was not up to standard, Bi Ma Wen was not up to standard either, but he still became the Monkey King later. This was the starting point of Xu Damao's official career.

What made him even happier was that his wife was pregnant. Through the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, Xu Damao's tadpoles finally regained some vitality. After unremitting efforts, Xu Damao finally had a child.

In order for his child to be born safely, Xu Damao put aside his past grudges and consulted Sha Zhu. He saw that He Jianguo, Sha Zhu's son, was strong and smart, and thought that the child must have been well-nourished when in the belly.

What is there for Sha Zhu to teach? All he can say is that he just listened to the doctor and pushed Liu Hua's sister out, praising her to the skies.

So Xu Damao asked Liu Hua for advice, and Liu Hua told him that childbirth is a science and he should listen more to the advice of professionals. When the baby is in the belly, different nutrients need to be supplemented at different stages.

So Xu Damao sent his wife to Union Hospital to establish a medical record without hesitation. His child was hard-won, so he had to be extra careful.

He also believed that this child was his lucky star. He thought that he would make progress once the child came. This was a child that would bring good fortune to the family, so he treasured the child very much. He directly asked his wife to stop working and concentrate on taking care of the baby at home.

It just so happened that Han Yufeng and Liu Feifei were both at home taking care of the children. There was nothing they could do as their parents and elders were not around, so they had to take a leave of absence from work and stay at home to take care of the children. It was just right that these three of them had some company.

Even though Xu Damao and Sha Zhu don't get along, their wives are good friends and are not influenced by their men at all.

Yan Jiecheng's wife is very envious of the three of them, because they got married almost at the same time and now have children, but Yu Li is the only one who is still pregnant and has no movement.

Yan Jiecheng's face looked very bad because some gossipy old women started discussing whether Yu Li was infertile, and the news had already reached the ears of Yan's family.

Yan Fugui is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. Of course, when it comes to petty gains, reputation is not important, but it does not affect his self-esteem as a member of a scholarly family.

Now that their daughter-in-law is being talked about for not being able to have children, the Yan family is ashamed. Yan Jiecheng made a few sarcastic remarks to Yu Li, saying that she is a hen that doesn't lay eggs. Yu Li is not someone to be trifled with, and she scratched Yan Jiecheng's face until it was covered with tears.

Later, when Yu Li was chatting with Han Yufeng and others, she asked them why she still couldn't get pregnant. The three of them unanimously told the couple to go for a check-up.

Yu Li was willing, but Yan Jiecheng was not. He said that pregnancy was a woman's business and not being able to get pregnant was the woman's problem.

As a result, Xu Damao's wife let it slip in her excitement that Xu Damao had seen a doctor and got pregnant after treatment. As the news spread, everyone in the hospital knew about it. Sha Zhu went to make fun of Xu Damao, but Xu Damao didn't mind and said directly: "I had a problem before, but now I have no problem. I have been cured. That is an illness. You can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."

Think about it, people eat a variety of grains, so it's inevitable that they will get sick. So there's nothing to laugh at. Instead, Yan Jiecheng is suffering for his stubbornness in saving face.

Xu Damao said something that hit home: "There's nothing funny about having a disease, but if you don't have children, you'll be laughed at."

Yan Jiecheng had a stern face because everyone in the hospital was looking at him with a half-smile on his face. The one who was even more touched was Yi Zhonghai, who was holding his daughter's hand.

There was a time when he was recognized as a family with no descendants in the compound, and was secretly ridiculed by many people, especially Jia Zhang, who would always take advantage of him for no reason. It was not until he adopted two children that anyone mentioned the matter again.

Guo Degang once said that insulting someone by saying there is no paper on their grave is the most vicious statement.

Yi Zhonghai will have someone to take care of him in his old age and see him to his death, so no one will dare to bully him anymore. He has descendants, and there is no guarantee that they will take revenge on you in the future.

After Yan Fugui returned home, he felt distressed for a long time and gave Yan Jiecheng fifty yuan: "Boss, why don't you go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to find out the cause. Without a child, my old face has been rubbed on the ground."

There is a person who has not appeared in the compound for a long time, and that is Liu Haizhong. After he was transferred to the branch factory, he was basically in a state of giving up. Anyway, his salary would not be reduced by a penny, so he might as well cheat and slack off.

He had originally planned to make some noise in the branch factory this year, but the rolling mill suddenly underwent a transformation, and the focus of future work was placed on steel rolling, so his position as a forger was no longer valued.

After coordination with the superiors, the steel rolling mill merged some unimportant branches into the machinery factory in Beijing. Although he, a seventh-level blacksmith, was valued again, he was unfamiliar with the place and dared only stay put and not move around.

The most important thing is that the machinery factory where he worked was affiliated with the capital, which was lower than the Telephone Steel Rolling Mill affiliated with the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Liu Haizhong felt that he was inferior to the workers in the steel rolling mill in the courtyard, so he was planning to move to the staff quarters of the machinery factory.

Unfortunately, the second son was unwilling to go with him, and the third son didn't want to either. However, the second son had limited ability and was even more unwilling to support his younger brother. In the end, Liu Haizhong only had the third son left, and it was estimated that he would not stay for long, as the third son would leave him sooner or later.

The days passed uneventfully one by one, because many things had changed and nothing happened in the yard.

There is only one thing, the deaf old lady is dying. After all, she is over 70 years old. She was born in the Qing Dynasty, grew up in the Republic of China, and finally grew old in the new era.

Since Sha Zhu got married, the couple took over the task of taking care of the old lady. This time, they were the ones serving the old lady in the hospital.
Before she left, the old lady called the street office and left a will, saying that the two houses were private properties and were left to Sha Zhu.

Before leaving, the old lady left some of her valuables in her collection to Sha Zhu. In the end, she left this world forever with the secret of her life experience.
