"Dad, please help me apply for a few days off. The kitchen isn't too busy these days, so I want to settle the matter between Qin Huairu and me in the next few days.”
He Yuzhu said to He Daqing as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Alright, I'll go to the factory and say hello to you later."
He Daqing got up and put on his clothes.
This year, the workers 'wages were calculated by the day. If they went, they would be paid. If they didn't go, they wouldn't be paid. Therefore, it was very easy to take leave.
As the two of them spoke,
With a bang, the door was pushed open
"Brother, Dad, have you prepared dinner for me when I go to school?”
At this moment, He Yushui rushed in. He asked He Daqing.
"If you wake up late today, I'll give you 40 cents to buy a few steamed buns to eat."
After saying that, He Daqing took out a few ten-cent notes from his pocket and handed them to He Yushui.
"Thank you, Dad. Goodbye, Dad! Goodbye, Brother!"
"Sigh! A bicycle? It's so beautiful! Is it from our family? Dad, when did our family buy a bicycle! It's so beautiful!"
He Yushui took the money and was about to run out of the house when she saw the bicycle. He couldn't care less about anything else and jumped around the bicycle happily!!
"Alright, alright. If it's not ours, who else can it be? Hurry up and go to school. I'll teach you how to ride it when I'm free!”
He Yuzhu walked over and patted He Yushui's head.
"Really? Thank you, brother! Brother, why do you look like this? Why are there so many pieces on your body? It's so beautiful.”
He Yushui looked at the half-naked He Yuzhu and said. After saying that, she even touched him with her hand! So hard!
"This is called muscle, understand? A sign of strength,"
After saying that, He Yuzhu lowered his head and looked at his eight-pack abs, two pecs, and his waistline!
These muscles were not the kind of big lumps that came from taking medicine or working out, nor were they the kind of small strips that came from working hard.
How should he put it? It was so harmonious and pleasing to the eye between the two. It matched with her smooth and delicate skin and the sunlight that shone on her body from the door.
He was as heroic and extraordinary as a god.
He Yushui's eyes were fixed on her god-like brother, and she gulped. He said,
"Brother, you're so beautiful! You look much better than the people in the posters."
"Alright, go to school quickly. I'll give you another ten cents as pocket money.”
He Yuzhu knew that his new talent from last night had taken effect. He quickly put on his singlet and took out a new shirt that he had not worn last night. She wanted to send the rain away quickly.
"Thank you, brother! My brother is the best!"
He Yushui happily took the money and hugged He Yuzhu's neck. He kissed her on the cheek and shouted,"
"My family bought a bicycle! "I have a bicycle at home." She ran out quickly.
"Dad, I'll use the bicycle today! I plan to buy some things and make a trip to Qin Huairu's house. I'll also arrange a time for the two families to meet. Give me more money! It was time to prepare for the wedding.”
"Alright, the car keys are on the table. Be careful! How much money do you want?"
"Give me 200 yuan first. I want to find an opportunity to go to the street and ask about the house in the backyard. This year, the private ownership reform began. Other than the houses that are currently used by everyone, the rest of the houses that are used for rent or empty will have to be taken back.”
"I plan to take this opportunity to see if I can find a homeowner to buy this house. If you really can't, you can rent it from the street."
He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and then said to He Daqing.
"So much money? No, just 100. I spent 650 yuan on the bicycle yesterday, and I still have money.”
When He Daqing heard that He Yuzhu wanted 200 yuan, he immediately refused.
"Dad, that's not right. My salary for the past six months is already 100 yuan, so you don't plan to pay a single cent for my marriage?”
"Not to mention that my mother left her dowry to me when she left! What's the use of saving so much money? I'm taking it for official business. Besides, if it really doesn't work, just take it as me lending you the money.”
"I'm now getting a salary of more than 40 yuan a month. I'll pay you half of my salary later and slowly return it to you.”
He Yuzhu, who knew that He Daqing would run away sooner or later, wanted to ask for more money first.
"Alright then!"
Seeing He Yuzhu's insistence and the fact that what he said made sense, He Daqing had no choice but to reluctantly open the small cabinet by his bed and take out a stack of money. He counted out 200 yuan and handed it to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu took the money, washed her face, and pushed her bicycle out of the house.
He Yuzhu was shocked when she saw the courtyard full of people the moment she stepped out. What was going on?
Before He Yuzhu could ask, Third Master said,
"Silly Zhu! Just now, we heard that you bought a bicycle, so we all wanted to come and take a look and congratulate you!”
"Is this the new bicycle your family bought? Heh, you're really something! This was too impressive! It was a permanent brand! How much is this? It's about 600 yuan. This is awesome!”
"This is our courtyard, no, no, this is the first bicycle in our area!”
Third Uncle's eyes were shining as he surrounded the bicycle and kept muttering. He wanted to touch it but did not dare to.
He Yuzhu suddenly felt that it was good to have such a person in the courtyard. At the very least, it could satisfy his vanity. Wasn't there a saying that if one didn't return home in brocade, it would be like traveling at night in brocade!
Moreover, even though Third Master was stingy and calculative, he was still a schemer. But he was really not a bad person. He was one of the few people in the Siheyuan who had a bottom line. In the original drama, he took the initiative to pick up the trash and pay He Yuzhu for his medical expenses and pension.
One had to know that it was equivalent to making a cultured person who had always thought that he was superior to the other people in the high courtyard give up his face and bottom line that he had adhered to for his entire life.
It was really thought-provoking how determined he was to do this. Moreover, he took Silly Zhu's things and even messed up his matter with Teacher Ran. There was really something to talk about!
The main thing was that Third Master really looked down on He Yuzhu. He couldn't take it lying down that a chef married Teacher Ran, who worked in the same job as him! In addition, Silly Zhu had offended him quite a bit. With his petty character, it was not strange for him to do this!
As for being stingy and scheming, even though he didn't know the grade of a primary school teacher in that era, he only had a salary of 40 to 50 yuan to support his three sons, one daughter, and six wives.
Not to mention that they could eat and wear warm clothes, the most important thing was that his children had at least graduated from junior high school.
After that, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi went to university. Which family could do that? How could he not scheme?
In short, Third Uncle's bad behavior was human nature! He had never taken the initiative to harm anyone. He was much stronger than Second Uncle, who was vicious and wanted to bully others, and First Uncle, who was sinister and cunning.
"Isn't it because I'm getting married? My dad specially gave it to me as a wedding gift. It'll be a big addition to the house, and it'll look good when we get married.”
He Yuzhu smiled and socialized with everyone.
"Oh, Silly Zhu is getting married! This was a joyous occasion! When the time comes, you'll have to give us wedding candies.”
When everyone heard that He Yuzhu was getting married, they all started asking questions!
He Yuzhu swept his gaze across the crowd. Old Jia and his son were looking at him gloomily.
Thinking that it was better to avoid trouble, he did not explain further.
He just laughed and said that there was no movie yet. When there was a plan, he would invite everyone to have a good time.
"Then it's a deal!"
The daughter-in-law of the old cow in the front yard shouted,
"Speaking of which, this idiot has just started working and already gets a salary of more than 40 yuan, and now he's getting married again! This is a double blessing. When the time comes, you must set up a few tables in the courtyard for us to share the joy.”
The other neighbors also chimed in.
"Silly Zhu, where did you get your bicycle ticket?”
Liu Haizhong asked with his hands behind his back.
"You'll have to ask my dad. He bought the car.”
He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Liu Haizhong.
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong opened his mouth as if he had thought of something, but he still closed his mouth and didn't say anything.
Now was not the time when He Yuzhu's family did not have any elders. Anyone could come over and act as an elder to say a few words to He Yuzhu!
"Alright, alright, it's time to go to work. Everyone, disperse. Didn't you see that Zhu Zi is going out? Let's talk about it after work!”
At the critical moment, it was the First Uncle who started to spread the word. He was always waiting for the opportunity to show off his image as a good and honest elder in front of everyone.
He Yuzhu saw that everyone had begun to disperse, so he lowered his head and quickly pushed the cart out.
Third Uncle walked into the house and turned to Third Aunt and the children.
"This idiot is about to get married. After getting married and having a family, he will be an adult!”
"Seeing that Old He's family is getting better and better, and now that he has bought a bicycle, we can't guarantee that we won't ask them to do something. It's not appropriate to call him Silly Zhu anymore. In the future, we will call him Zhu Zi.”
Everyone felt that it made sense after hearing it. The children were also thinking about getting on good terms with He Yuzhu and borrowing a bicycle to ride. They all agreed.
Third Uncle nodded in satisfaction and said to Third Aunt,
"Let's eat. One cornbread and three pickles per person. No more, no less."
After saying that, he used chopsticks to distribute pickles to each child from a small bowl.
"It's not fair. My pickled vegetable is short and thin.”
Yan Jiefang pointed at the salted vegetables in the bowl and shouted.
Third Uncle looked at it and indeed added a shorter pickled vegetable and handed it over. He said,
"Our family values fairness.”
