In the 1960s.
In the warm yet cold city of Sijiu.
It was just in time for the First Construction Plant to close.
Xu Pingqiu, who was wearing a blue uniform, came out of the woodworking workshop with a lunch box.
He whistled as he walked through the crowd.
He looked at the red slogans and porcelain paintings on the wall.
He listened to the broadcast from the loudspeaker.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Time really flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it had been six years since he transmigrated to this world.
He was a highly skilled craftsman.
Whoosh…
He became an unknown woodworking apprentice in this construction factory.
Fortunately, there was a check-in system when he transmigrated.
After a few years, he had saved up quite a bit of money.
In this life, Xu Pingqiu was an orphan.
His father drove a truck in the transportation department of the Red Star Rolling Mill.
Later, she got into a car accident and was not saved.
His mother died of illness a few years later.
As for him?
Fortunately, the deaf old lady was kind and often helped.
He was now a Level 4 carpenter in the First Construction Factory who had just passed the assessment.
Next month, he would start getting 47.80 yuan.
His parents had even left him a house of more than 60 square meters in the Siheyuan in Nanluogu Alley.
It was about a ten-minute walk out of the factory.
This three-door courtyard house was filled with dozens of families.
In the front, middle and back of the courtyard, there were three stewards.
They were all recommended by the neighbors, and in the end, it was arranged by Director Wang of the street office.
In the front yard was the Third Master, Yan Bugui. He was good at scheming and liked to take advantage of others.
The first master of the Intermediate People's Court was Yi Zhonghai, one of the few level-eight fitters in the rolling mill. Unfortunately, he was a dead end.
It looked fair when doing things, but in fact, there was selfishness.
His mind was filled with thoughts of retirement.
As for the second uncle in the backyard.
He didn't have much knowledge, but he was greedy for power and liked to put on airs.
He had done many wicked things.
In conclusion, this was the world of " Love in the Courtyard "!
However, the timeline was a few years earlier than in the TV series…
Xu Pingqiu carried the empty lunchbox and walked inside.
The house he inherited was in the backyard.
The deaf old lady lived opposite.
Xu Damao and Second Uncle's families lived in the wings on both sides.
It was a coincidence.
Xu Pingqiu had just stepped over the threshold of the courtyard.
He saw a charming woman in her early twenties washing clothes in the courtyard.
This woman had beautiful eyebrows and a graceful figure.
There was a pitiful look on her face.
Qin Huairu…
The two of them walked past each other without saying a word.
Xu Pingqiu had mixed feelings.
When he had just transmigrated, he had been with Qin Huairu for two months.
They were already talking about marriage.
In the end, it was ruined by that bastard Jia Dongxu.
At that time, Xu Pingqiu was still an apprentice in the woodworking workshop.
He only received a salary of 18.60 yuan a month.
Jia Dongxu was already a first-class fitter in the rolling mill, with a monthly salary of 25.80 yuan.
The house allocated by the factory was more than 70 square meters.
There was also an old mother helping out at home.
Cooking, cleaning the house, sewing and mending.
In the future, she could even help take care of the children.
It was much better than an orphan whose parents had died.
In the end, Qin Huairu broke off the engagement on the grounds that Xu Pingqiu's salary was low and his family was poor!
Then, she married Jia Dongxu, who was in the same courtyard as her.
With Xu Pingqiu's temper, how could he tolerate this?
In his anger, he caused a ruckus at the wedding banquet.
He almost set fire to the wedding house.
From then on, Xu Pingqiu had become enemies with Jia Zhangshi and her son.
In the quad, he had also earned the nickname of being a hooligan.
This also caused Xu Pingqiu to be ostracized in the courtyard.
In the beginning, he felt a little aggrieved.
As time went by, he became more open-minded.
Anyway, the courtyard house was full of chicken feathers. There were no good people.
Not interacting with each other would save trouble.
If it weren't for the check-in system, he would have to check in at the courtyard house every day.
Xu Pingqiu had been thinking about moving out for a long time!
It was said that the Heavenly Dao had reincarnation.
Last year, there was a big accident at the rolling mill.
Including Jia Dongxu, the four workers on duty did not survive.
In the end, Qin Huairu did not escape the fate of being a widow.
Two months ago, she had just given birth to her daughter, Huai Hua.
The factory let her take over her husband's job and learn skills from an old man, starting from an apprentice.
Because of this matter, the hospital even organized a large scale donation.
It was co-hosted by the three masters.
Xu Pingqiu was the only one who didn't donate in the entire courtyard house.
That night, he found a colleague to change his night shift and did not come back at all.
In this courtyard, the one who cared the most about Qin Huiru was naturally Silly Zhu.
On such a cold day, Qin Huairu was willing to stand in the courtyard and drink the northwest wind.
He was most likely waiting for Silly Zhu.
To be precise, it was the leftovers that were waiting for Silly Zhu to bring back.
……
Qin Huairu, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, naturally saw Xu Pingqiu.
She hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Xu Pingqiu, stop!"
"I was wrong in the past…"
"Now that my man is gone, can't we just let this matter go?”
Qin Huairu turned around and glared at Xu Pingqiu.
Her tears fell.
Things were different now.
The news had already spread in the courtyard yesterday.
Xu Pingqiu had passed the Level 4 Woodworking Assessment.
Next month, he would start receiving 47.80 yuan.
In this day and age, a piece of fifty cents could be used to pull two pieces of cloth, enough to make new clothes for three children.
Eggs were five cents each, and white flour was seven cents per catty…
With Xu Pingqiu's current salary and the city's food supply, he was able to earn a lot of money.
Occasionally, he could even take on private jobs.
He could make a cabinet for someone and make a set of furniture.
Every time, he could at least earn a few yuan as a reward for his hard work.
Over time, it was also a considerable sum of money.
With his current condition.
There was no problem with eating big fish and meat every day.
Unfortunately, this was the era of a planned economy.
Money alone was not enough.
Food tickets, cloth tickets, egg tickets, non-staple food tickets…
All supplies had to be purchased with tickets.
Xu Pingqiu's monthly rations were only 35 catties, and there were also a few catties of cooking oil.
If he wanted to improve his meals, he would have to sneak to Pigeon City.
All these years, in the entire courtyard.
Who had the best food?
If Xu Pingqiu was ranked second, no one would dare to claim first place!
When she thought of this, Qin Huairu's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
If she hadn't broken off the engagement back then…
If she had married Xu Pingqiu, her life wouldn't have ended up like this!
In the past few years, she finally understood.
Jia Zhangshi and her son had never looked up to a daughter-in-law from the countryside.
He was always picking on her.
If there was good food and drinks, they would always stick to the mother and son first, then the child.
As for her.
She had been married for a few years, but she had not even bought a decent piece of clothing.
To say that he did not regret it was to deceive himself…
"Sigh, I was really blinded back then!”Qin Huairu was secretly distressed.
Even though she had already taken the initiative to express her goodwill.
He intended to ease the relationship between the two families.
However, Xu Pingqiu didn't fall for it.
Without looking back, he went to the backyard.
Xu Pingqiu placed the lunchbox on the table when he got home.
He turned around and went to the courtyard to get a pot of water, which he placed on the stove to boil.
He closed the door and sat cross-legged on the brick bed.
I haven't received today's sign-in reward…
Ding! You have successfully signed in. You have received five Reunion tickets, five catties of pork, twenty catties of national food stamps, and two bicycle tickets.
Xu Pingqiu snapped his fingers excitedly and started humming a tune.
He finally got his bicycle ticket.
I won't have to walk to work in the future!
