At night, He Yuzhu told his sister and the Deaf Old Lady about this matter during dinner. His sister, He Yushui, immediately said angrily,""Brother, I didn't understand why you didn't let me hang out with Sister Qin in the past. Now I know that there are no good people in the Jia family. Don't worry, I won't even talk to her family in the future.”
The Deaf Old Lady also said," My dear grandson, the Xu family and the Jia family are still living in the same compound. Although Xu Damao has never been on good terms with you since young, he can't beat you, so he can only play tricks. As long as you pay more attention to him, there's nothing to worry about. As for the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi has never been a good person. Now that Jia Zhangshi is in charge of the Jia family, Qin Huairu can't tell whether she's good or bad at the moment. However, she's an orphan and a widowed mother, so you have to help her if you can. Otherwise, the people in the compound will gossip about her. Try to stay away from the Jia family in the future. Don't get too close to Qin Huairu."
He Yuzhu nodded in agreement." Old Madam, you're right. I'll definitely be more careful in the future."”
"Yes, my good grandson. You should get married as soon as possible. If there's a mistress in this house and you get pregnant, it'll be easy to reject anything. It'll be difficult for others to scheme against you.”The Deaf Old Lady suddenly smiled and said to He Yuzhu.
"Okay, Old Madam, I understand. If I don't meet someone I like this month, I'll marry the girl you liked some time ago.”
"Okay, okay, okay. Then I'll wait to hold my great-grandson.”
"Brother, hurry up and marry a sister-in-law. I also want to hug my nephew as soon as possible."”Just like that, the three of them stopped talking about the bad things about the courtyard house and happily talked about other things.
After dinner, he tidied up He Yuzhu and went to bed. Late at night, He Yuzhu, who was lying in bed, had insomnia again.
On March 1st, 1960, He Yuzhu was woken up by his sister, He Yushui, as expected. He got up listlessly to wash up.
After breakfast, He Yuzhu rode his bike to send his sister to school and rode straight to the rolling mill. He Yuzhu rode slowly. It was still early anyway, so he was not in a hurry to go to the mill at all.
。Suddenly, He Yuzhu saw the street manager, Mrs. Zhang, leading two people not far away. As they walked, she said something to them.
He Yuzhu took a glance at them after riding closer. They were two girls in tattered clothes. They walked with Auntie Zhang with their heads lowered. He Yuzhu stopped the car and greeted Auntie Zhang. Auntie Zhang also said warmly,"Zhu Zi, where did you go?"
"Auntie Zhang, I just sent my sister to school. I'm going to work in the factory now. What are you doing?”
"Hai, there are many places where people can't eat now. There are many refugees in Beijing every day. The higher-ups have settled some of them and then distributed some young girls to the streets to see if they can find a family to marry.”
"You want to get married at such a young age?" He Yuzhu pointed at a skinny girl who looked to be in her teens and asked.
Aunt Zhang quickly explained," How is that possible? Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, 18 years old this year. The younger one is her younger sister, 13 years old, called Zhao Yiqiu. I've asked around. The two of them came from Sichuan to beg with a few girls from the village. The others looked for other families on the way, and the two sisters didn't want to be separated, so they came all the way to Beijing. In the end, they were given to me by the higher-ups and asked me to find a way to settle them.”
He Yuzhu nodded and didn't want to say anything more. She smiled and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang. She got on her bicycle and prepared to leave.
"Zhu Zi, wait, I have something to tell you." Aunt Zhang suddenly shouted.”
He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Zhang in confusion." Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"”
Mrs. Zhang held He Yuzhu's hand and said earnestly,"Zhu Zi, you also know that there are not many families who can support one more person these days, let alone two. I also understand our streets. Other than you, no one else can do it. I know that you have always wanted to get married.”
"Aunt Zhang, I do want to get married, but I have high expectations for girls." He Yuzhu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.”
" I know this. I feel that this Comrade Zhao Wanqiu fits the criteria that you mentioned. Not only is she pretty and educated, but she is also kind hearted. If it wasn't for the fact that you have to take care of her younger sister, you would have found a good family long ago. You wouldn't even have the chance to do so.”Then, he said to the two girls beside him,"Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, don't keep your head down. Don't be shy. Raise your head and let this Comrade He Yuzhu take a look.”
He Yuzhu looked at the girl called Zhao Wanqiu and saw her slowly raise her head. He Yuzhu was instantly stunned. Zhao Wanqiu's beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her delicate face was filled with worry. It made her originally beautiful face even more attractive.
At this moment, He Yuzhu had already made up her mind to marry this beautiful lady in front of her. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said gently to Zhao Wanqiu,""Hello, Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, my name is He Yuzhu.”
" Hello," Zhao Wanqiu said softly.
"Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, I won't hide anything. You are very beautiful, and I really want to build a new family with you. I wonder what your impression of me is?”
"Comrade He Yuzhu, I don't want to be separated from my sister. If you want to marry me, you have to raise my sister with me. She's 11 years old this year. You have to raise her until she's 18 years old.”Zhao Wanqiu looked at He Yuzhu with a hopeful expression. She had been listening to the conversation between Aunt Zhang and He Yuzhu. She knew that He Yuzhu's family background was very good, and he was also young. She really hoped that he would agree. After all, she did not want to wander around with her sister anymore.
" Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, I am He Yuzhu. I am currently working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I am the head of the canteen and my monthly salary is 37.5 yuan. I have two rooms in my house. One is for myself, and the other is for my sister. Other than us siblings, I have been living with a grandmother in the backyard that I know. Also, my house has just been renovated and has all the furniture. I've also bought the 'four big pieces.' After we get married, your sister will be my sister-in-law. When she lives with my sister, not only will I take care of her food and accommodation, but I will also provide for her education.”
Zhao Wanqiu listened carefully and asked Auntie Zhang,""Aunt Zhang, is what he said true?”
Aunt Zhang said happily," It's true. Many of our girls want to marry Zhu Zi. Unfortunately, Zhu Zi doesn't like any of them. If you marry him, you can just wait to enjoy life."”
Zhao Wanqiu held her sister's hand and said to He Yuzhu,""Comrade He Yuzhu, I'm willing to marry you. As long as you treat us well, I'll definitely take good care of this family.”
Without waiting for He Yuzhu to say anything, Auntie Zhang said happily to He Yuzhu,"Zhu Zi, since the two of you like each other, let's choose a date instead of a date. The two of you can get married today. I'll bring you to the rolling mill to get the marriage certificate now.”
He Yuzhu quickly asked," Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't the marriage going to be reviewed slowly? The banquet also needs to be held. Won't it take a few days to prepare?”
"There's no need to prepare. Special circumstances require special treatment. These two girls don't even have a place to stay. The country supports this situation, and your factory's secretary will definitely agree. It's not too late to hold the wedding a few days after the wedding. I'll help you two get the marriage certificate today.”
"Comrade Zhao Wanqiu, what do you think?" Mrs. Zhang asked.”
Zhao Wanqiu lowered her head shyly and said softly,""I'll listen to you." Zhao Yi Qiu, who had been quiet, also smiled and held her sister's hand tightly. She understood that from now on, she and her sister would have a house to live in and could eat every day.
Then Aunt Zhang couldn't wait to take He Yuzhu and the other two to the rolling mill.
