The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

He Yushui told He Yuzhu what happened just now, and told him that she felt her family was quite pitiful. He Yuzhu immediately knew what the widow was up to, so he knocked her on the head with chopsticks.

"Brother, what are you doing?" He Yushui protested

"I'm just knocking to see if your name is rainwater or not, is your head also full of water?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand. If you explain it to me, I won't understand. Really, why did you hit someone on the head?" He said this angrily and ate a big mouthful of rice with a big mouthful of fish-flavored pork shreds.

"Brother, it's delicious! Brother, you are so nice, hehe"

Seeing He Yushui enjoying his meal, He Yuzhu was also happy, so he explained,

"Rainwater, what do other neighbors eat every day?"

"It's still steamed bread, cornmeal porridge, cabbage, potatoes, etc. What's wrong, brother?"

"What else? Think about what your classmate's family usually eats?"

"It's the same as these," He Yushui said as he ate.

"Isn't this outrageous? What era is this? Who would complain every day just because their child is a little thin? Widow Qin makes 275 yuan a month, which is enough to support a family. But she came to you today and said these things, implying that her family is struggling and the child is malnourished, and asked you to persuade me to help her family," He Yuzhu said after taking a bite of the dish.

"Ah? Really?" He Yushui asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Think about what Widow Qin said to you just now."

"I just saw her saying that she had no nutrition and no milk, and her eyes were red. I really felt sorry for her and wanted to give her some meat and vegetables," He Yushui said in a lower voice.

"This widow Qin is a master at playing with people's hearts, Yu Shui, listen to me and stay away from her family in the future. You can't play with them."

"Also, Yushui, if you use your family's food to help the Jia family, don't blame me for being angry! Of course, if you give your own food to their family, I have no objection," He Yuzhu took a sip of wine and said to He Yushui with a smile.

"Brother, I understand. Although I don't understand a lot of things now, I heard that your widow Qin wanted me to give my food to her family, so forget it," He Yushui said while eating.

He Yuzhu saw that He Yushui had listened to him, so he didn't say much. He knew that his cheap sister was not stupid and knew a lot of truths. She just couldn't figure it out for a while. After all, she was only 15 years old.

As for He Yushui, as long as he doesn't abuse her for licking the widow, she will most likely not be an ungrateful person, so He Yuzhu is not too worried.

After dinner, He Yushui took the initiative to clean up, and then the brother and sister chatted for a while.

"Brother, when will you bring me a sister-in-law?"

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui jokingly and asked, "I, your brother, am looking for a wife. Aren't you afraid that the wife I find will treat you badly?"

"I'm not afraid. You can't find a sister-in-law as well-behaved as me even with a lantern," He Yushui said narcissistically.

"Haha, it's true that even with a lantern you can't find it. After all, that person is blind."

"He Yuzhu, you're going too far!"

……

The sound of the He brothers and sisters fighting at home floated over the entire courtyard. It seemed that there was a figure in the sky, and he left with peace of mind.

Next door, Jia's

"This bastard Shazhu gave the meat to He Yushui, a money-loser, instead of sending it to our family. He is such a fool, he deserves to be exterminated!"

Bang Geng also chimed in, saying viciously, "That's right, Sha Zhu is such a fool! He Yushui is such a money-loser!"

Qin Huairu was doing housework, listening to the laughter of the He brothers and sisters, and she was very envious and thought, if I had meat to eat every day, I would be so happy too. She heard what the Jia Zhang family said, but she didn't scold them. On the one hand, it was because Jia Zhang was protective of her children, and on the other hand, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said.

Therefore, it is difficult for parents with incorrect values ​​to raise children with correct values.

On Saturday morning, He Yushui prepared breakfast. While the brother and sister were eating, He Yuzhu asked, "What are you going to do today?"

"I made an appointment with my classmates to go out and play"

"Take this money," He Yuzhu gave He Yushui one dollar

"Brother, you are so kind!"

"Don't give me that crap. You can't go out until you've washed the dishes and the clothes."

"no problem!"

After breakfast, He Yuzhu pushed the cart out. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu walking one after the other.

"Zhu Zi, go to work," Qin Huairu took the initiative to greet

"Uncle, sister-in-law of the Jia family, good morning, go to work," he said and rode away on his bike.

Although Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai watched He Yuzhu ride away with a smile, there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.

Saturday is a relaxing day. After all, it is the last day of work. At around 10 o'clock, Xu Damao arrived at the kitchen.

"Ma Hua, I'm looking for your master, don't stop me!" He Yuzhu knew it was Xu Damao when he heard the hoarse voice.

"Ma Hua, he doesn't need to stop me anymore"

"Look, your master and I are brothers who grew up naked together. I told you and you still don't believe me."

"Uncle Mao, I have seen your naked butt, but you have never seen mine, don't talk nonsense," He Yuzhu's words made everyone in the kitchen laugh.

"Master Zhu, there will be a good show in the courtyard tomorrow, don't miss it"

"Good show? What happened? Tell me," He Yuzhu handed over a cucumber.

Xu Damao chewed on a cucumber and said, "This kind of good show is only exciting when it is unveiled. It will be boring if it is revealed in advance. I am here to remind you not to go out early tomorrow morning and wait in the yard."

"Xu Damao, give me back the cucumber!" He Yuzhu said as he was about to grab the cucumber.

Xu Damao ran away immediately, "Lulu~"

"Xu Damao, you are a grown-up, aren't you disgusting?"

He Yuzhu thought, "I don't know what Xu Damao is up to. Never mind. Since he has said so, tomorrow will surely be exciting. I'll just wait and watch."

Chapter 45: Promoting fertility knowledge from the streets to the courtyards

After dinner, Yan Bugui asked Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang to go door to door to inform everyone that a meeting of the whole hospital would be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Director Wang would preside over it personally.

When He Yuzhu heard the letter, he guessed that the good show Xu Damao mentioned must be related to this, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Xu Damao is such a villain. I don't know what evil he is up to. He actually did it through the streets. It seems that I underestimated this grandson. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a villain takes revenge from morning to night, and it's the kind that is hard to guard against. It seems that this time, Yi Zhonghai will have a hard time," He Yuzhu thought.

On Sunday, He Yuzhu waited at home after breakfast. He had originally planned to go to the library, but Xu Damao came to inform him that there was a good show, which he couldn't miss.

"It's time for a meeting, it's time for a meeting," Yan Bugui's voice rang out in the courtyard at 8:45. After about ten minutes, everyone in the courtyard gathered in the middle courtyard. He Yuzhu took a bench and sat down in a corner. As soon as he sat down, Xu Damao's long face came over.

"Master Zhu, let's watch this show." He Yuzhu smiled and said nothing, waiting for the meeting to start.

As usual, the table was square, but today the three uncles did not have as much fanfare as usual, because Director Wang, a nurse and two comrades from the Women's Federation were already sitting at the table.

Yi Zhonghai spoke first. "Today, this meeting of the whole institute is presided over by Director Wang himself. Now, please let Director Wang speak." He led the applause, and then a round of applause broke out.

Director Wang stood up, pressed his hand lightly, and continued, "Today's meeting is mainly a popular science conference. Since the establishment of the new country, although our people are no longer oppressed by the three mountains, our women comrades are still oppressed by many old ideas! Today we are here to knock down the mountain that is pressing on our women comrades! Today's propaganda theme is the issue of women giving birth."

When the people in the courtyard heard that this meeting was about childbirth, they were curious about what it was about and started to discuss it in low voices.

"Okay, be quiet. This is a nurse from the Red Star Hospital. These two are from the Women's Federation. Next, let's invite Nurse Su to talk about this topic!" Director Wang led the applause.

"Hello, comrades. I am a nurse in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Red Star Hospital. My surname is Su. Since ancient times, people have believed that giving birth is the business of women. Moreover, we women also think this is right, but today I tell you that this is wrong!"

When the crowd heard this, they started to make a commotion, especially Jia Zhang, "Nonsense, giving birth isn't a woman's job, is it a man's job? Do you see any man giving birth?"

"Ha ha……"

At this time, the comrades from the Women's Federation saw this scene and immediately shouted, "Quiet! This is a very serious issue, please don't interrupt Nurse Su!"

Seeing what the Women's Federation comrades said, Jia Zhang became obedient. She was very afraid of the Women's Federation. She knew that although the Women's Federation supported women, it would also punish those women who made trouble. A few days ago, a woman who was not faithful to her husband was dragged out for criticism.

"What the lady said just now is both right and wrong. Why is it right? It's because the pregnant woman is indeed a woman. Why is it wrong?"

"Let me give you an example..."

Nurse Su told everyone the example of farming, and now everyone understood that if a child is not born properly, it is not only the woman’s responsibility, but also the man’s.

The others were discussing with great interest, but Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy at the moment. In the whole courtyard, only his family had no children. He had always said that it was because an old lady couldn't have children. Now the street brought nurses to do propaganda, saying that men might also have problems. Isn't this equivalent to exposing his lies? Yi Zhonghai was both scared and angry at the moment!

In fact, Yi Zhonghai knew it was his problem more than ten years ago. He went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said it was congenital, necrospermia, and there was no cure. He was afraid that others would know, so he pushed it all onto the aunt. The aunt didn't understand, and she always thought it was the woman's responsibility to not be able to have children. So, she has felt guilty for all these years.

As for Auntie, when she heard this, her brain seemed to be struck by lightning. She thought, "Could this be true? Inability to have children may also be a man's problem? Then in our family, is it possible that it is not my fault?"

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao beside him, only to see him looking at Yi Zhonghai with a smug look on his face. He thought, this grandson is quite mean, isn't he exposing Yi Zhonghai's secret right in front of him?

Xu Damao felt He Yuzhu's gaze and whispered, "Master Zhu, this is a good show, isn't it? The best is yet to come!"

He Yuzhu knew what Xu Damao meant. The real show was the reaction of the Yi family after the meeting, and the discussion of the Yi family by the people in the courtyard. Even the whole street would discuss Yi Zhonghai. For Yi Zhonghai, who always cared about his reputation, this was fatal.

Next, Nurse Su popularized the knowledge that it is men who decide whether to have a boy or a girl. Although everyone couldn't accept it at first, after Nurse Su's explanation and analogy, everyone understood it.

Finally, a comrade from the Women's Federation spoke. "After Nurse Su's explanation, I think everyone should have understood these two topics. If anyone puts the blame for not being able to have children or for the gender of a baby directly on women, we at the Women's Federation will not tolerate it!"

The meeting lasted for more than 40 minutes. Director Wang and his group left the courtyard, but the people in the courtyard had no intention of adjourning. They discussed the two topics in depth. Of course, everyone looked at the Yi family from time to time.

The third aunt, the wife of the new third uncle Tian Dakui, whispered to the second aunt, the wife of Yan Bugui, "Second aunt, you always said it was because of the first aunt, could it be because of the first uncle?"

"Maybe. Over the years, I have seen this old lady taking a lot of medicine, but there has been no effect."

A group of middle-aged women were discussing in low voices, and several men were also gathered together to discuss this matter. In short, the topic revolved around who in the Yi family was not good enough.

……

Yi Family

When the aunt came home, she sat by the bed and cried silently. When Yi Zhonghai came home, he sat by the table and smoked.

"Lao Yi, let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow," an old lady suddenly said.

Yi Zhonghai took a puff of cigarette and said calmly, "What's the point of investigating? We are already this old."

"But I want an answer!" said the auntie in a very tough manner.

"Hey, do you really want to check?" Yi Zhonghai wanted to make one last effort. In fact, this also meant that if we broke up, it would be bad for both you and me.

The auntie didn't say anything. She was also thinking whether she should check it out. After all, she was in her early 40s. If it wasn't her problem, what should she do? How would her husband face others? If it was her problem, how would she deal with this reputation?

After thinking for a long time, the aunt said, "Lao Yi, we didn't understand this matter before, but now we know it. I just want an answer, so let's go check it out in a hospital far away so that other people don't know. If it's not my problem, I will keep it secret."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything. He smoked quietly, one cigarette after another, until he finished a pack of cigarettes.

"Okay, then you go first and say you're going to buy groceries. I'll go out and find you in half an hour. We'll meet at the entrance of North City Hospital."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the aunt packed up her things, took her basket and went out. When the people in the yard saw the aunt go out, they stopped discussing the matter.
