People in this era were still very simple. Everyone was fighting to contribute more to the factory. They only had one day off every week, but even so, many people still went to the factory to participate in voluntary labor.
On the weekend, Xu Ye did not go to the rolling mill to continue working. Instead, he brought Yu Li to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy furniture and some necessities.
Yu Li would fight over the bill every time, and she paid more than half of the bill.
After buying the things, the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative helped them deliver them home.
Everyone came over to help when they saw that the courtyard house had moved in.
Yi Zhonghai went to work in the factory, but his wife, a middle-aged woman, came over to help the new neighbor enthusiastically.
Silly Zhu also came over. This guy was tall and strong. Almost all the hard work was done by him and the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Yan Bugui brought his son Yan Jiecheng over.
Yan Jiecheng still had some emotions in his heart. In the beginning, he was unwilling to help.
" What are you making a fuss about? It's always been your unrequited love. Yu Li never liked you, and Xu Ye didn't snatch her away. Let me tell you, don't be too emotional. We have to treat Xu Ye well. He might be useful in the future. He has such good skills. You can become a second-class or even higher fitter if you teach him a little. When the time comes, you can get a raise and marry Teacher Ran. Isn't it good for our family to live a good life?"”
This was the truth, but Yan Jiecheng was not convinced,""Why would I beg Xu Ye? First Uncle is a level-eight fitter in the factory. Isn't it good to learn from him?”
"Yi Zhonghai? We can't count on that old fellow!" "How many years have you been at the rolling mill? When did he teach you any techniques?" Yan Bugui sneered. That old thing is so cunning. He's afraid that if others learn it, he won't be popular anymore. He values those fitter skills more than his life. Why would he easily pass them on to you?”
Yan Jiecheng fell silent.
Thinking back carefully, it was indeed so.
Don't talk about yourself.
Even Jia Dongxu, who had been following Yi Zhonghai all this time, did not receive any benefits. He did not teach him much either. Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would not have remained a second-grade fitter after so many years.
"Alright then!" "I'll go with you, but you have to hurry up and arrange for me to meet Teacher Ran!" Yan Jiecheng compromised.”
"Of course!" Yan Bugui nodded.
The father and son went to the middle court to help.
Yu Li was busy with her work. Her head was lowered, and there was some sweat on her face. She didn't look very beautiful.
Yan Bugui felt that this woman who only knew how to work was not worthy of his son.
Yan Jiecheng stole a glance at Yu Li and suddenly felt that her plain appearance was not as good as he had imagined. He hoped that his father would introduce Teacher Ran to him as soon as possible.
Jia Dongxu also came over to help.
However, this kid was very crafty. He only followed behind Yan Bugui and his son and refused to do anything.
His wife, Qin Huairu, had also come over.
Qin Huairu was five to six months pregnant, so she naturally could not come over to help.
She only watched from the courtyard.
Qin Huairu's heart ached as she stared at her husband.
This was her third pregnancy.
The child was about to be born.
However, their entire family was squeezed into three rooms in the front yard. They felt as aggrieved as they could.
Unlike Xu Ye, who was assigned a house in the factory at such a young age, and it was five main rooms!
"Why would Xu Ye want such a big house by himself?”Qin Huiru thought enviously, Even if Yu Li moves in in the future, it won't be useful!”
Slowly, the furniture was moved in. Yu Li had tidied up the house. Qin Huiru's eyes grew even redder. She snorted coldly and said to her husband,""Dongxu, it's almost lunchtime. Technologist Xu's room is almost ready. Let's go home and eat!”
Jia Dongxu did not want to come over to help at all. He had no choice but to come over when he saw his neighbors. Qin Huairu's actions gave him a way out. He agreed and left.
With him leading the way, a middle-aged woman, Silly Pillar, Yan Bugui and his son left one after another.
After tidying up the furniture, the people from the supply and marketing cooperative left.
" It seems like we won't be able to clean up in the morning," Xu Ye said." Let's go back to the cafeteria to eat first. We'll do the rest in the afternoon!"”
Yu Li shook her head." Let's not waste the food stamps. Come to my house to eat!"”
When she was buying furniture, she was fighting to pay for it. She had spent all her savings. Yu Li thought that Xu Ye might not have much money on him, so she saved as much as she could.
"Are you going to see your parents?" Xu Ye asked with some joy and some worry,""Should I buy some gifts?”
"No need!" "We don't have any children at home," Yu Li shook her head and said,"There's no need to buy any gifts. That would be too wasteful!"”
"You should meet my parents, and our relationship will be settled!" she said with a red face.”
Yu Li wanted to save herself the trouble of proposing marriage.
The Yu Family was only a mile or two away from the courtyard house they were in, so they arrived very quickly.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu understood what was going on when they saw their daughter bring a boy home for the first time.
Xu Ye had returned to the Yu Clan, so how could the Yu Clan neglect him?
Mrs. Yu specially made white noodles and even used the few eggs she had at home.
Mrs. Yu was cooking in the kitchen, and Yu Li was helping by the side.
Yu Haitang quietly came to Yu Li's side and said,"Sister, I want to buy a fountain pen. Can you give me some money?”
Life in the Yu family was not easy.
In the past, Father Yu was the only one who earned money to support the family.
After Yu Li graduated from high school, she could have worked in the food factory where her father worked. However, the food factory was not doing well. Her father was worried that the food factory would collapse at any time. Wouldn't letting her daughter work in the food factory be pushing her into the fire pit?
Mr. Yu spent a lot of effort to arrange for his daughter to enter the rolling mill.
In order to find a better job for his daughter, Mr. Yu had borrowed dozens of yuan from the neighbor's house, and he still had some money to return.
The Yu family lived frugally.
Even in high school, Yu Haitang did not have her own fountain pen.
She had begged her mother but was rejected.
Now that her sister's job was stable, Yu Haitang wanted to beg her sister to buy her a pen.
"You want to buy a fountain pen?" Yu Li whispered.
She was in a difficult position.
A fountain pen cost at least one yuan, and the better ones were even more expensive.
If her younger sister had asked for it yesterday, she would have been able to take it out.
When Xu Ye bought the furniture today, she had spent all of her " family property ". How could she have any money for her sister?
Mrs. Yu sighed.
She looked at Yu Li and then at Xu Ye who was sitting outside.
She knew her daughter's temperament.
Yu Li was very thrifty.
Although most of her salary had been given to her family after she started working, her parents had to leave some for her every month.
How could he not even have the money to buy a fountain pen for his sister?
Girls were extroverted.
Mrs. Yu understood that her daughter had spent most of her money on Xu Ye.
"Haitang, don't ask for it for sister!”"I'll talk to your dad and ask him to buy it for you in two days!" Mrs. Yu said.”
