Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

When someone saw Xu Damao going to watch the show, they followed him over. Several people gathered at the door to cheer Qin Huairu on.

After beating Jia Zhang for half an hour, Qin Huairu sat on the chair panting. It was not that she couldn't continue beating her, but it would be easy to beat Jia Zhang to death.

Only Banggeng was still waving his little fists, beating and kicking Jia Zhangshi, yelling, "I told you to eat meat, I told you to eat meat, and you're eating meat when my father is dying! Why don't you just die?"

Qin Huairu was very satisfied with Banggeng's filial behavior. She looked at Jia Dongxu's body and murmured, "Dongxu, did you see that? Our Banggeng is so filial now. You can rest in peace down there."

During lunch, Xu Damao recounted the farce of the Jia family.

Jiang Daniu sighed, "Ms. Jia Zhang didn't deserve the beating she received."

"Uncle Jiang, what you said is not what Jia Zhang deserved." Xu Damao curled his lips. For so many years, no one had beaten Jia Zhang for no reason. It was always because of her bad mouth or bad hands that she provoked others.

"That's right."

Jiang Fan nodded, and then asked, "Dad, what should we say about Jia Dongxu's funeral?"

"I can go and help out at our house. It's not appropriate for you to go since you just got married. Your eldest brother still has to take care of the children."

"Then Uncle Jiang, I will go with you then, so that we two can have someone to take care of each other." Xu Damao said immediately.

"Row."

Chapter 504: Jia Dongxu's Funeral

In the afternoon, Jia Zhang dragged her injured body to the toilet again and again. After running a few times, she suddenly lost control and the liquid flowed out along her trouser legs.

Now, she simply didn't go to the toilet and just stood in the yard waiting for her stomach to empty.

Finally, the people in the yard couldn't bear it anymore and carried her to the toilet. They stood watching at the door and didn't let her get up until she finished.

The mess in the yard was naturally cleaned up by the hardworking Qin Huairu, which made the neighbors like her more.

In particular, a comrade named Sha Zhu felt very distressed when he saw what Qin Huairu had gone through.

If it weren't for his wife on the bed, the child in his arms, and his father's slap reminding him that he was a family man, he would have gone to help out financially and physically at this time.

Jia Dongxu's funeral was single-handedly handled by Liu Haizhong. I don't know what Qin Huairu said, but Liu Haizhong was so happy to handle it, just like he was attending his own father's funeral. He even went to the coffin shop himself to buy the coffin, which was outrageous.

That day, Sha Zhu went out for a walk after dinner and happened to meet Qin Huairu.

"Zhu Zi, I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter, sister-in-law of the Jia family?"

Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, for some reason, a soft spot in Sha Zhu's heart was touched.

"Zhu Zi, what you said is too distant again. Why call me sister-in-law? Just call me sister."

"Okay, I'll call you Sister Qin from now on."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly when she heard this. "Zhu Zi, you didn't even help with your brother Dongxu's affairs. I thought you were alienated from us."

"Oh, no, there aren't that many people there. It wouldn't be any use for me to go there," Sha Zhu said naively. "Sister Qin, please accept my condolences. Brother Dongxu died fighting the spies. He was a hero. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

Qin Huairu was delighted, but pretended to be embarrassed on her face, "Zhu Zi, don't tell me, I really have something to ask you."

"Tell me what it is. As long as I, Shazhu, can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

"It's because of Dongxu's matter. Sorry to bother everyone. I thought I should treat everyone to a meal or something, but I couldn't find a suitable chef, so I thought of you."

"It's just this matter. Leave it to me." Sha Zhu patted his chest and promised.

"That's great, thank you so much, Zhuzi. How much money do you need? I'll get it for you."

Qin Huairu has not yet experienced the torture of factory work and does not realize the hardships of working in a steel rolling mill. In addition, there are a series of reasons such as Sha Zhu now having a wife.

She didn't try to trick Sha Zhu into paying for her, she just hoped that Sha Zhu would do it with all his heart.

Sha Zhu was not completely brainwashed yet, and he quoted a price honestly, but only reduced his appearance fee.

Now, Jia Dongxu's funeral preparations are complete and he is just waiting to be buried.

After Sha Zhu returned home, he told He Daqing about this, but he spoke from a businessman's perspective, saying that Qin Huairu gave him money to treat him to a banquet.

He Daqing couldn't say anything, they were all neighbors.

Time flies and it is the day of Jia Dongxu's funeral.

Qin Huairu was dressed in mourning, kneeling on the ground crying, which made people feel sorry for her.

If you want to be pretty, the saying of being filial does make some sense.

At least in Sha Zhu's opinion, Sister Qin had a different flavor today, which made him unable to help but take a few more glances at her.

Not only him, but others as well.

He Daqing was even worse. Looking at Qin Huairu in mourning clothes, his colorful heart beat shamefully again and again.

Ordinary women or girls could not attract He Daqing, but a young widow like Qin Huairu, who still had charm and was wearing mourning clothes, had firmly grasped his heart.

Jia Dongxu's funeral went smoothly. They found a place to bury him and then returned.

After the event, Liu Haizhong gave another speech, highlighting the role he played in this incident.

But not many people listened to him, because they had to go to work after dinner. Not everyone was like Liu Haizhong, who took time off from work to attend someone else's funeral.

The banquet was naturally not as good as the one arranged at Liu Guangqi's wedding. It was just a regular banquet, but everyone enjoyed the food and no one complained.

After dinner, the people in the yard helped to clean up. After that, Qin Huairu went to find Liu Haizhong.

"Thank you so much for Uncle Dongxu's matter."

"Alas, this is what I should do. When something happens in our hospital, it's natural for me, as an elder, to step forward and lead everyone in solving the problem."

Liu Haizhong spoke in a tone as if he was the leader of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu naturally coaxed him along with his words, and then told him her purpose.

"Second Uncle, the neighborhood office has issued me a certificate allowing me to go to the steel mill to replace Dongxu's job. I'll need your continued care in the factory."

"Okay, okay. Although I'm a blacksmith and Dongxu is a fitter, I still have some respect."

Liu Haizhong was very happy to hear Qin Huairu's compliment.

"How about this, I'll take you to the steel mill this afternoon to handle the paperwork. You can start work earlier and earn money earlier."

Qin Huairu said, "Thank you, Second Master."

After returning home, Qin Huairu changed her clothes and talked to Jia Dongxu's portrait.

"Dongxu, I'm going to join the steel mill soon and take your place as a fitter. By then, my household registration will be transferred to the city, and so will Banggeng and the others. We'll also be able to eat rationed food, but I don't want to eat. I want you to come back..."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu started crying again. She was really sad and really tired.

……

At the steel rolling mill, street kid Xu Damao came to the technical department again.

"When I went to the personnel department just now, I saw Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu coming over. It seems they are here to replace Jia Dongxu."

"Just support it, it has nothing to do with us."

Although Jia Dongxu is still gone, the other plot changes are really too big, and Jiang Fan is not sure whether Qin Huairu will develop in the direction of a white lotus.

But as long as it doesn't affect his life, it doesn't matter.

"Do you think Qin Huairu can survive in the steel mill?"

"It's hard to say. She's a widow working with a bunch of grown men, so she's bound to be harassed. Plus, the locksmith work requires a lot of strength. Qin Huairu... I guess she's not even up to it."

In the original novel, Qin Huairu has always been an apprentice, earning 27.5 yuan a month. If it weren't for the help of Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, she would have been transferred long ago after working in the steel mill for so many years without being converted to a regular employee.

Qin Huairu returned home with her work clothes and the things distributed by the factory.

Looking at the two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang, she was in trouble again. Banggeng was okay, he could just go to school with others every day, but as for Xiaodang, she couldn't always take him to the factory.

If the child was left at home, Jia Zhang might have sold him.

"This child needs to be taken care of by someone."

Chapter 505: Qin Huairu Joins the Steel Rolling Mill

Qin Huairu was thinking about which family she should entrust Xiaodang to. After much deliberation, she decided to entrust Xiaodang to Sha Zhu's family next door.

If Sha Zhu's family doesn't agree, then we can only go to Liu Haizhong again.

When it was time to get off work, the neighbors all came back.

Qin Huairu took Xiaodang to the He family and told He Daqing and Sha Zhu about this pitifully.

Because He Daqing was there, Sha Zhu didn't dare to agree directly, but looked at He Daqing silently.

To Sha Zhu's surprise, He Daqing actually agreed.

"Okay, if you feel comfortable leaving the child at my house, I'll have someone take care of him for you."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed after hearing He Daqing's words. She hadn't held out much hope. After all, after He Daqing came back, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between their two families had been severed.

So being rejected is normal, and being accepted is a surprise.

"Thank you, Uncle He. Xiaodang will kowtow to your Grandpa He."

Xiaodang was held down and kowtowed. He Daqing then helped Xiaodang up and brushed the dust off her body.

"This child is as thin as Yu Shui when he was a child."

He Daqing's words explained to everyone why he agreed. It was not surprising that he thought of He Yushui when he saw Xiaodang's appearance.

They all knew how much He Daqing doted on He Yushui.

Of course, this is only the superficial reason. The deeper reason is naturally because of Qin Huairu.

I don’t know if the He family really has a filter for widows or what, but He Daqing has some feelings for Qin Huairu, who just became a widow.

Taking care of Xiaodang is the first step in getting in touch with Qin Huairu.

And Sha Zhu could never have imagined that He Laodeng actually had such thoughts about his sister Qin.

……

The next day, Qin Huairu left the small bag at He's house and handed it to Yang Shufen.

"Sister Shufen, please take care of my Xiaodang."

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. If my father-in-law agrees, I will definitely take good care of her." Yang Shufen has recovered, but her face is still a little pale.

Qin Huairu didn't care about what she said. She lowered her head and told Xiaodang, "Xiaodang, just stay at Grandpa He's house and wait for your mother to come back."

"Ah."

Without any further instructions, Yang Shufen followed He Daqing and his son to the steel mill.

It would be no problem for Qin Huairu to take over the job, so she would naturally go to the fitter workshop, to Jia Dongxu's workstation.

The workshop director Guo Dapiezi was originally quite dissatisfied with the fact that a female comrade was assigned to the job, but when he saw Qin Huairu, his dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, right? I'm the workshop director, Guo Gang. You can just call me Brother Guo."

"Hello, Brother Guo." Qin Huairu wanted to say it out loud, but when the words reached her lips, her voice suddenly became smaller, like the buzzing of a fly.

Guo Dapiezi was secretly pleased; this little movement was quite endearing. "Come with me. I'll first show you around our workshop, and then I'll find you a trainee. Locksmithing is a technical job, and without a good trainee, it's hard to achieve success."

Qin Huairu nodded vigorously. She was well aware of this. Aside from geniuses who could learn on their own, everyone else needed a master to guide them in technical work.

Qin Huairu has little education and cannot understand any books or materials. It is impossible for her to study on her own, so she can only find a good master to learn from.

There are also female workers in the workshop that Guo Dapiezi is in charge of, but there are not many of them, only a few.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to choose one of these female comrades to be her master, but when they saw Qin Huairu's pale and weak appearance, they all said that they didn't want to take her.

This hurt Qin Huairu, but Guo Dapiezi was secretly happy, and then pretended to be regretful, "Xiao Qin, it seems that you don't have any fate with these masters. How about I arrange a male comrade for you?"

Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree and nodded weakly, "Okay."

In this way, Guo Dapiezi successfully accepted Qin Huairu as his apprentice.

After work, Qin Huairu, tired from the day's work, was a little dazed. This locksmith job was really hard. Even though she had only learned about parts and tools today and helped Guo Dapiezi with parts, she was still exhausted.

Back at the courtyard, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao saw He Daqing playing with Xiaodang and Zhaodi.
