By the time she reached her house, it was already eight o'clock at night.
He Yuzhu's house was in a three-door courtyard house. The walls were gray and the tiles were green. It was divided into three courtyards, front, middle, and back.
Every courtyard had an elder who was responsible for coordinating the neighbors. Once a neighborhood dispute occurred in the courtyard, it would be resolved by these three elders.
In the front yard lived the Third Master, Yan Bugui. He was stingy and liked to scheme.
The middle court was the largest and had many people living there.
Yi Zhonghai lived in this courtyard. He was a level-eight fitter in the rolling mill and currently had no children.
The person who lived in the backyard was Liu Haizhong, the second uncle. He also worked in the rolling mill. He was a grade-7 blacksmith and was also an official fan. He usually liked to participate in the big and small matters in the courtyard to show his presence.
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Haizhong lecturing his sons.
The children stood in a row obediently, not daring to say a word.
He Yuzhu tugged at his sister, He Yushui, who was watching from the side.
Suddenly being pulled from behind, He Yuyu turned around in panic. After seeing who it was, she said,"Brother!"
He Yuzhu sized up his sister. He was still a fourteen-year-old bean sprout that had yet to fully mature.
"Brother, what's the matter?" He asked when he saw that he was silent.”
"Have you eaten?" He Yuzhu replied.”
"Yes. I just finished eating with Dad when I heard some movement here, so I ran out to take a look.”
He Yuzhu glanced at her pretentious bangs and asked,""What happened to his family?"
He Yushui pulled her brother to the side and whispered,""I heard from the people in the hospital that it's because Second Master was originally going to be the deputy director of the workshop. In the end, Second Master only had a high school education and was not selected…"
So it was this matter.
He Yuzhu vaguely remembered a sentence mentioned in the original drama.
When Liu Haizhong was young, he could have gone further, but because of his academic qualifications, he was defeated by another candidate with a junior high school education.
In these few years, it was already not easy for ordinary people to have a high school education.
The senior primary school was also known as the senior primary school. It generally referred to qualified graduates who had completed the fifth and sixth grades of primary school.
Other than being inferior to junior high school students in math, physics, and chemistry, he could still write a few sentences in classical Chinese.
"Those sons of his are really bad. Two days ago, they even pulled my braids.”He Yushui didn't forget to tell her brother. She looked extremely cute.
He Yuzhu rubbed her head.""You stay here and watch. I'll go take revenge for you now.”
As he spoke, he turned around and blended into the crowd.
He Yushui looked on expectantly…
He Yuzhu heard Liu Hai's clamor.""You brats, I just bought a bottle of wine and you smashed it. Aren't you good at running?! I'll break your legs now!"
As he spoke, he raised the bamboo whip in his hand.
His children were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy!
The second aunt gritted her teeth and went forward to grab Liu Haizhong's arm. She whispered into his ear,"The neighbors are all watching. If you want to hit your child, go home and hit him. Don't let others see you as a joke.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong hesitated…
He Yuzhu couldn't help but hesitate." Second Uncle, you're the head of the family. How can you let Second Aunt be the head of the family?!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors followed suit.
"Yes, I am!"
"That's right. Second Uncle is the head of the family. Isn't that right, everyone?”
Instantly, countless people responded.
There weren't many entertainment activities these days. Watching other people beat up their children was also a way to vent their frustrations in this extremely depressing life…
Liu Haizhong heard the jeers around him. He struggled to break free from the second aunt's hand that was holding his arm. The bamboo whip immediately whipped his sons and said,"It's only right and proper for a father to hit his son.”
He Daqing didn't join in the fun. He played chess with an old man.
"The people of the pillar are quite kind. Most of their actions are not malicious."”
" Who knew that your personality would change so drastically after hitting your head on the door frame?" He Daqing continued." It's your turn now…"
"You should also find a wife for the pillar."”
"I haven't even gotten married yet. Let's wait another two years for his matter.”He Daqing said indignantly.
If you don't let me remarry, then you can forget about getting a wife.
He Yuzhu turned her head and looked at her sister.
He Yushui was full of smiles. He felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had gotten his revenge!
She hated it when people pulled her braids.
The scene of a loving father and filial son lasted for a while.
He Yuzhu did not continue watching. Liu Haizhong would eventually suffer the backlash of his sons.
He and his sister walked home.
"Zhu Zi, you're back!" An elder said to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu replied politely,"Hello, First Uncle."”
With that, he left.
He Yuzhu, who was familiar with the original drama, knew that after He Daqing and the old widow ran away, only an old man, an auntie, and a big boss deaf old lady were good to her.
The reason why First Uncle treated him well was very simple. He wanted him to take care of them in their old age.
He Yuzhu felt that this was something that needed to be considered.
There were still 11 years to go before the original drama began in 1965.
He came to the courtyard where his house was located.
" Brother, I've finished my homework." He Yushui pestered her brother." Can you tell me a story later? I love your stories…"
He Yuzhu was about to agree.
In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged woman walked out from Jia Wentao's house next door. Jia Zhangshi smiled and sent her off. Jia Wentao also said respectfully,"Aunt, if my marriage can be successful, I will definitely thank you properly.”
Marriage…
He Yuzhu's ears perked up.
Counting the days, it had only been two years since Qin Huairu had married into this quad.
Therefore, it was very likely that this matchmaker had introduced the Jia family to…Qin Huairu!
He Yuzhu brought He Yushui into the house and said,""Yu Shui, your brother's stomach hurts a bit. I'm going to the toilet first. Wait for your brother to come back, then I'll tell you a story.”
He Yushui naively believed him and nodded vigorously."Alright, I'll wait for you!"
He Yuzhu followed the matchmaker and the others out of the courtyard.
After Jia Wentao sent the matchmaker out of the courtyard, he turned around and walked home with his mother. He happened to pass by He Yuzhu, but he didn't realize that He Yuzhu was there to intercept Hu.
After He Yuzhu confirmed that this guy, or perhaps someone else, was following him, he was relieved and boldly chased after the matchmaker.
"Auntie…wait…"
The matchmaker must have heard someone calling her, so she stopped and turned around.
"Little comrade, do we know each other?" she asked He Yuzhu.”
