Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 78: Lao Zhao brought back a young girl (seeking first order)
The system also gave a long-term task.

[Mission: Kill the traitor, random reward.]

However, he hadn't done anything to eliminate the traitors yet, but he had saved two members of the Rabbit Party, and the system also gave him a small reward.

But this reward is quite interesting, as each time I am taught a middle school course.

This piqued He Yuzhu's interest. He didn't plan to waste several years to finish junior high school. These years were very busy, and he couldn't guarantee that he could finish his studies safely in school.

Wouldn't it be better for him to get a junior high school diploma in advance and then take the technical secondary school entrance exam after 1950? He would be a cadre after graduation.

He had no intention of going to university, and even if he wanted to work in the future, he didn't plan to get involved in technology. He didn't have the temperament to be a scientist or engineer.

It was almost the New Year when He Yuzhu used the task of eliminating traitors to complete the junior high school courses of Chinese, civics, English, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, history, geography, biology, physics, and chemistry.

That is, in January 1946, the school also had winter vacation. The final exam before the winter vacation was a must, and He Yuzhu was not too quick to take it and passed it with a pass.

Last time, Jia Dongxu heard from Jia Zhang that He Yuzhu was scolded when he returned home. This time, he ran to He Yuzhu's class to inquire about He Yuzhu's grades. What if he failed all the exams? He could go back and ask his mother to make a fuss about it, making He Yuzhu have a bad winter vacation. Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Why is he so keen on this? It's because he doesn't have many friends at school. He is much older than his classmates, and his family is poor. He is not the one who can help others. He always hides behind others when something happens. It's strange that anyone is willing to play with him.

He Yuzhu always takes Xu Damao with him whenever he doesn't skip classes. How can he not be envious? He used to be his follower.

Besides, Xu Damao is like a fish in water after entering the school. He is sweet-talking, has some tricks, and can bribe his classmates with snacks from time to time. So even without He Yuzhu, he still has plenty of company after school.

Also, this kid boasted that he had an older brother in the senior grade and could ask his brother to help him if he had any problems. He also made a big deal of asking He Yuzhu to show up in their class. He Yuzhu had grown taller in the past six months and was now about 1.4 meters tall and strong. The kids who played with Xu Damao immediately started calling him Brother Zhuzi.

Of course, He Yuzhu has no time to look after the children, so Xu Damao and the others can handle the minor quarrels by themselves. If that doesn’t work, there are always teachers.

In addition to dealing with traitors, He Yuzhu also went fishing a few times. He had no fishing skills and no secret bait, so he had no choice but to get a net and fish in the creek.

No matter what kind of fish it is, just throw them all into the fish pond. The flow rate is ten times faster, so they grow fast, and there is no shortage of fish food in the space.

As for the silt and algae, he didn't deal with them. After the fish pond was filled with water, these seemed to be produced automatically. However, after he harvested the crops, some of the corn stalks and the like seemed to be missing. They must have gone to fertilize the fish pond.

In addition, he also planted several seasons of vegetables, including beans, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, spinach, leeks, and celery. He bought seeds of all kinds he could, as they could be stored in a static space.

The only thing he didn't do was grow crops, for which he still had plenty of space. As for raising livestock, it was too troublesome, so if the system gave him a livestock pen or a poultry farm, he would consider it.

Now that he has money, he would go out and buy some slaughtered animals and store them when he has nothing to do.

This year, everyone in the courtyard lived much better than last year.

He Daqing brought back a lot of things through the canteen's purchasing connections, and Xu Fugui also sent some over as a tribute from Xu Damao to his master.

Yi Zhonghai had a godfather, which gave him a way to make money and channels to buy things, so he bought a lot of things.

Jia Laonian's wages rose to eight yuan, and with the lack of hardship outside, there were more people selling chicken, duck, fish and meat in the market, and the prices were reasonable. During the Chinese New Year, he bought two pounds of meat, a chicken and a fish.

The other residents no longer paid attention to it. Xu Fugui said once that these people might have to move out.

There is one person who deserves attention, and that is Zhao Fengnian. This old guy took leave before the holiday started, and no one knew where he went. He didn't come back until the end of the year.

When he came back, he brought a young girl with him. Everyone in the yard teased him that Old Zhao was going to get married. Zhao Fengnian blushed so much that his face turned purple.

"Hey, Engineer Zhao, where did you go to bring this young lady back? Are you planning to get married?" asked Jia Zhang.
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Jia. I, Old Zhao, already have a wife. She is my cousin from the countryside!" "Cousin, that's a close relationship!" Jia Zhang said with a smile.

"Go away, I can't explain it to you clearly. I still have to go to the backyard to find the old lady." Zhao Fengnian waved his hands at Jia Zhangshi.

"Is she really not your wife?" other women in the front yard also asked.

"This is my cousin, cousin!"

Old Zhao couldn't argue with the women, so he took the girl to the central courtyard.

Then she was interrogated again by Chen Lanxiang and Li Guihua. The girl didn't say a word when she entered the room, but her face was almost as red as a monkey's butt.

Old Zhao finally explained his purpose, and Chen Lanxiang led the two of them to the backyard. Fortunately, Zhao Cuifeng was at home taking care of her pregnancy, otherwise she would have to go through another hurdle.

Why look for the old lady? To rent a house, short-term rental, just an ear room will do.

There are no houses in the front yard, so we can only live in the middle yard.

The old lady did not agree immediately but asked: "Girl, where are you from?"

"My cousin is from Shanxi."

"I didn't ask you a question, Zhao family boy, let the girl speak for herself."

"Auntie, you are from Shantou!" The girl, perhaps because she saw the old lady's kindness, spoke directly in her hometown dialect.

As soon as these words came out, the old lady frowned. She had met so many people that she could not tell that this was not Shanxi dialect, but sounded like it was from Shaanxi.

"Your accent doesn't sound like Shanxi, it's more like Shaanxi?" The old lady looked at Zhao Fengnian and said with a smile.

Zhao Fengnian was sweating.

Chen Lanxiang leaned closer to the old lady and was secretly on guard, because Shaanxi was the world of the Rabbit Party.

"It's indeed in Shanxi, on the Fenglingdu side, next to Shaanxi." Zhao Fengnian said.

"Who else is in the girl's family? What's their relationship with the Zhao family kid?"

"There's no one at home, this is my cousin." The older girl began to speak non-standard Mandarin again.

The old lady didn't say anything, just looked at the girl.

"You look quite handsome, but what are you doing in the Forty-Nine City?"

"I have found a husband for my cousin and will send her there to get married after the New Year." Zhao Fengnian interrupted again.

"Zhao family boy, I didn't ask you. If you're like this, we don't need to talk anymore."

"Yes, yes, old lady." Zhao Fengnian responded quickly. It's not that he didn't have a place to arrange for people to live, but after thinking about it, this yard was the safest, especially the households in the middle yard and the back yard. He had been observing them for a long time.
