In the courtyard house, He Yuzhu and his sister were getting ready to go to school.
Recently, Yi Zhonghai was the most depressed. His family had a good relationship with He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu often invited him to dinner and drinks. He was even the one who introduced He Yuzhu to cook for someone's first wedding banquet. He felt that he had recommended He Yuzhu.
However, ever since Jia Zhangshi stole the bacon, Yi Zhonghai wanted He Yuzhu to settle the matter peacefully and suffer a loss. In the end, He Yuzhu thought that Yi Zhonghai would not help him, and the two of them became estranged. Later, although the two of them wanted to improve their relationship, their worldviews and ways of dealing with people were very different, and they could not get along.
Ever since they parted on bad terms during the last New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them had not interacted with each other. Seeing that He Yuzhu was doing better and better now, not only was she promoted to the deputy director of the department, but she was also admitted to a university now. Yi Zhonghai would be lying if he said that he did not regret it, but he also felt that he did not do anything wrong. He even complained in his heart that He Yuzhu was a young man. Why couldn't she give in to her elders?
Yi Zhonghai was only in his early forties and had not considered finding someone to retire to. Perhaps he still had the idea of finding a girl to give birth to a child for him. However, as the eldest son of the hospital, he could not even handle He Yuzhu. He could not erase the deep sense of defeat.
What did He Yuzhu think of the people from the Siheyuan now? In fact, he did not think about it. He basically did not have much contact with the neighbors of the Siheyuan. Other than the deaf old lady, he was very distant from everyone else. He did not want to let some family matters affect his energy.
As for Yi Zhonghai, it was easy for him to help out in his old age. It was nothing more than spending a small amount of money to hire a nanny to take care of him. However, if he thought that agreeing to help out in his old age could arrange his life, then he was thinking too much. He Yuzhu did not lack a father. He was not that stupid Zhu who was really missing a string in his head.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind did not stop. Not only was Yi Zhonghai thinking about how to pull He Yuzhu back under his control, but Liu Haizhong was also thinking about how to get He Yuzhu to put in a good word for him with the leaders. He would even be able to get the leaders to promote him to be a team leader.
To be honest, in Dazhong. For thousands of years, Hua had always had the idea of being an official, but it was rare to see someone like Liu Haizhong who was deeply influenced by the official position. He had always wanted to be an official, so he tried all kinds of ways to get into the official position. As long as it could help him become an official, he would do it even if it meant sucking carbuncle and licking mole.
Xu Damao, who was in the backyard, was also thinking about He Yuzhu. It was not because of anything else. He could not bear to see He Yuzhu doing well. As long as He Yuzhu was unlucky, he would be happy. If He Yuzhu was doing well, he would be depressed.
This time, his father, Xu Fugui, had tried to find a way to transfer him to the cinema in order to make room for him. However, something had gone wrong during the operation. He had originally wanted to transfer him to the Dongdan cinema, but for some reason, the notice had changed it to the Xidan cinema. That was outside Xizhimen, and he had to travel half a day to and from work.
Fortunately, the cinema in this era was a good unit, so they gave him a house. Recently, the couple moved to Xizhimen, and the house here was left to Xu Damao alone.
Xu Damao was now the only film projectionist in the Red Star Rolling Mill. His monthly salary was 35 yuan. Adding on the extra income from the movies he played in the countryside, his visible and invisible income added up to 70 to 80 yuan.
Moreover, he was good at socializing, especially with the leaders. Whether it was Factory Manager Yang or Deputy Factory Manager Liu, both of them had a good impression of him. He was confident that he could get another raise this year.
However, he did not expect that He Yuzhu would grow at an astonishing speed this year as if he had applied fertilizer. He became the deputy director of the canteen, was promoted to a junior department, and went to university again. This made him very depressed.
Some time ago, he had anonymously sent a report letter to the factory manager's mailbox, reporting that He Yuzhu did not do her job well and had been helping the kitchen outside to earn extra money for many years. He did not expect to encounter He Yuzhu saving people, so the report letter sank into the sea.
During this period of time, he thought that He Yuzhu would definitely sell the meat in Pigeon Market if he couldn't finish it on such a hot day. He was about to follow him and report him, but He Yuzhu went out to learn cooking from a chef again. He hadn't seen him for more than a month.
When He Yuzhu came back, she was about to go to university, but she still couldn't see him. At this moment, Xu Damao was drinking alone and thinking hard about how to play tricks on He Yuzhu.
Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, who were opposite He Yuzhu, were also talking about him. Of course, they didn't have anything good to say. Ever since He Yuzhu exposed them stealing bacon at the assembly of the whole academy and embarrassed the Jia family, the mother and son would curse He Yuzhu behind his back every day. However, perhaps because they didn't have enough magic power, their curse had never succeeded.
It wasn't that Jia Zhangshi couldn't stand He Yuzhu's happiness, she just couldn't stand the happiness of everyone she knew. In fact, Jia Dongxu's monthly salary was 30 yuan. It was more than enough for a family of four and three to eat. Occasionally, they could even eat some meat. Their lives were not bad.
However, compared to He Yuzhu's family, the Jia family was incomparable. Therefore, Jia Zhangshi also thought of ways to play tricks on He Yuzhu every day. However, her brain capacity was too small, and she really could not think of any bad ideas.
In the entire courtyard, the person who had the best relationship with He Yuzhu's family was not the Deaf Old Lady, but the Third Master, Yan Bugui. He was stingy and calculative, but he was forced to do so by his low income and large family. Ever since he had helped He Yushui earn some extra money, he had become much friendlier to He Yuzhu and his sister.
He Yuzhu was generous to him. If he helped him, He Yuzhu would give him something in return. This was in line with Yan Bugui's values. However, he had been troubled recently. He and his sister had to stay in school to study. How could he exchange some money from He Yuzhu?
Recently, Yan Bugui's manuscripts had been rejected. It seemed impossible for him to rely on the remuneration to support his family. It seemed that he had to find He Yuzhu to have a chat. This girl, He Yuzhu, had some talent in calligraphy. He could not stop learning calligraphy.
He wanted to see if He Yuzhu could let him teach He Yushui calligraphy every weekend. Well, it wasn't about the money. The main thing was that he couldn't bear to see He Yuzhu's calligraphy talent be delayed.
The Deaf Old Lady had always been very good to He Yuzhu and his sister, especially to He Yuzhu. She treated him like her own grandson. Whether it was in the original drama or the world that He Yuzhu had transmigrated into, she was always like this. She protected He Yuzhu without any principles.
However, the deaf old lady had been a little annoyed recently. Of course, she was happy that He Yuzhu went to university. However, he had to live on campus and could only come back on weekends every week. Usually, he could only rely on an auntie to take care of him. In fact, although the auntie was kind, it was Yi Zhonghai's request to take care of the Deaf Old Lady.
When the street office selected the three stewards of the courtyard house, they entrusted the care of the five guarantees to the stewards. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both big families, so the burden was very heavy. Yi Zhonghai and his wife had no children and were simple people. Therefore, the street office director, Aunt Wang, directly told Yi Zhonghai and asked him to help take care of this matter.
Yi Zhonghai had a good impression of Aunt Wang. Of course, he had a good impression of everyone else. However, what kind of person was the Deaf Old Lady? She had gone through several dynasties and her experience was not something that ordinary people could compare to. To put it bluntly, she was a shrewd person.
After living next door to Yi Zhonghai for so many years, the Deaf Old Lady had long seen through him. If possible, she was really unwilling to accept Yi Zhonghai's care. However, He Yuzhu was going to university, so she had no choice but to accept his kindness.
