Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 1 Electricians
[This article is Tongrenwen.The story takes place in Blue Star, Kyoto, the capital of the florist.Any resemblance of people's names, place names, etc. in the text is purely coincidental.Internet fiction, don't take it seriously. 】

In the early summer of [-], Blue Star, a flower grower, was in the machine repair workshop of the No. [-] Rolling Mill in Kyoto.Du Shouyi was neatly arranging the wires.

After traveling to this world for more than ten days, he still hasn't fully adapted.

It's fine to travel to the 60s, but he actually traveled to the world of 'Siheyuan full of love'!The complex relationship in this courtyard and the strangeness of the times made him cautious in his words and deeds.

Workmates, neighbors, and younger sister Du Shougui only thought it was the sequelae of his electric shock accident more than ten days ago, but he was familiar with the plot and historical context, and he knew that in the next 20 years, survival is the kingly way. If he wants to realize himself, he has to wait 20 years. Years later.

"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is ten pairs of 'Neiliansheng' custom cloth shoes."

That's right, this is the 'check-in system' that came with him when he traveled more than ten days ago.

The system automatically signs in at [-] am every day.Most of the rewards for signing in are those special products of the time-honored brands in Sijiucheng.

As of now, Du Shouyi's system space contains seven or eight sauced pork elbows from 'Tianfu Hao', as well as some braised pork from 'Small Intestine Chen', pastries from 'Daoxiangcun', stinky tofu from 'Wang Zhihe', etc.

The environment was unfamiliar, so Du Shouyi didn't dare to eat these things blatantly, so he could only secretly take out some of them to share with his sister during dinner.Or give yourself a small meal in the dead of night.

What shocked him the most by the system was the gift package for beginners that was rewarded more than ten days ago.In the gift bag lay a 'thunder fruit' from the world of One Piece. Du Shouyi was so happy at that time, where would he be able to go with this fruit?Who can hold him?

But he understood after eating that 'shit-flavored bitter gourd'.Maybe because of the different world mechanism, his "Thunder Fruit" is a weak version, and can only release electric current through physical contact.That means that the large-scale, mid-range and long-range attacks such as 'Lei Ying' and 'God's Punishment' are all invalid.

Not only the fruits are limited, but the system itself is also limited.When he leaves the area of ​​Kyoto, the system will automatically stop, and even the space will be temporarily closed.In other words, he is an ordinary person without a system when he leaves Kyoto.

This reality made him wake up: You must control the thought of killing yourself with a sharp weapon, otherwise it won't be two hundred and five?To live tenaciously, I would rather be a thousand-year-old dog than a historical clown.

While he was thinking about something, a voice sounded in his ear:

"Shouyi, the lights in the cafeteria are not on, go and have a look." Lao Zhou, the team leader, handed over a work order and said.

"Understood, let's go." Du Shouyi closed the system space and took the dispatch order.

There are six workshops in Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, equipped with two canteens, large and small.He Yuzhu entered the factory four or five years earlier than Du Shouyi, and is now the 'second in command' of the cafeteria.

Seeing him, He Yuzhu shook the pot and said, "Shouyi, come to eat early today, and there will be cabbage with oil residue at noon."

"Oh, okay." Du Shouyi agreed and began to check the circuit.

He is now in his second year as an apprentice, with a salary of 20 yuan, 27 catties of rations per month, half a catty of oil, and four taels of meat.If there is enough food, meat is rare, and sometimes food substitutes are used to make up for it. 'Oil and water' is a real headache for everyone.

Stepping on the stool brought by Mahua, Du Shouyi knew the problem as soon as he connected the wires. The light bulb was fine, but the switch was aging.He took out a new switch and quickly replaced it, and the problem was solved within a few minutes.

"Okay, Du Shouyi! There is a way!" Ma Hua patted him on the shoulder and laughed.Suddenly, a piece of cabbage clapper flew over and hit him on the head.

"Du Shouyi is your name? That's your uncle!" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and scolded Ma Hua.

After his father died, Du Shouyi studied art with He Daqing for a few days. Later, after many setbacks, his father was finally diagnosed as a work-related injury, and the siblings began to receive pensions from their work units.After Du Shouyi had settled down in life, he returned to school, and the matter of learning how to cook with He Daqing was over.But at that time, the apprentices knocked their heads on the ground. Even after He Daqing ran away with the widow, He Yuzhu still treated him as his own teacher and brother, and always thought of him when he had any good things.

Ma Hua was young and ignorant, and Du Shouyi didn't argue with him too much.After packing up the tools, he said to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, leave me two servings of oily cabbage, and I'll give you the vegetable ticket first." He ordered a dime vegetable ticket and put it on the desk behind He Yuzhu.

Now the cabbage is divided into two parts, and the meat and vegetables are divided into one part, but it is difficult to meet.The meat can be seen when the cabbage is boiled with oil residue, and there is a lot of oil and water in it. Although a portion is five cents, it will be snatched up as soon as it comes out.

"You and your master, why don't you bring a copy for Shou Gui?"

"Forget it, the weather is getting hot, so I can't hold on." Du Shouyi said hello to Ma Hua and Liu Lan, then picked up the tool bag and left.

Du Shouyi's electrician master's surname is Ding.Although the salary is 44 yuan, the family has four children, three of whom are still in school, and life is not easy.

Compared with him, Qin Huairu just joined the factory as a substitute this year, and it is even more difficult to support a family of five with an apprentice salary of 18 yuan.

Therefore, Du Shouyi didn't stop He Yuzhu from helping the Jia family after time travelling.The situation is like this, is it possible to watch the Jia family starve to death?

Back in the workshop, he whispered about the oily cabbage to the team.Half a minute later, there was no one in the electrician class, and everyone went to the cafeteria to check the wiring with their lunch boxes.

Du Shouyi grabbed the master who was about to move, and handed him his red-painted lunch box and said, "Master, I have something to do at noon. Please bring me some food. Find He Yuzhu's window."

This kind of thing happened once. Last time, Du Shouyi asked him to bring food, and when he came back, he said he had eaten it, and asked Master Ding to take the food home and cool it in well water.

Master Ding has already guessed that the apprentice is honoring himself!
The oil residue is very tempting, but being helped by his apprentice makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Shouyi, don't patronize me, let's see how thin you are?"

Du Shouyi is nearly 1.8 meters tall and only weighs more than 50 kilograms. He walks unsteadily and looks as if the wind could blow him down.

He looked at his big bony hands transformed by the thunder fruit and said: "Master, I am kung fu, not thin."

Master Ding heard from him that there is a family tradition of kung fu.But if you practice kung fu, not to mention broad shoulders and round waist, you must have at least two taels of flesh on your body, right?Looking at his stalky appearance, who would believe it?

Afraid that the partition wall has ears, he looked around and said softly: "I told you not to mention this again, why do you still say it?"

"Didn't you mention this first?" Du Shouyi said as he stood up and said, "Okay, just take it as my filial piety to my teacher, and you can't stop it. Go, I'll stay here until I get off work."

Master Ding treated him well. He devoted himself to teaching the craft and never hid it. It took Du Shouyi three months to graduate.

You can take the night shift after leaving the teacher. Although there is no overtime pay for the night shift, the night work is very easy and you can get a subsidy of two buns.This was of great help to the predecessor Du Shouyi.

The kindness of receiving a drop of water should be repaid by a fountain. As a Kyoto native, he was educated in this way since he was a child. Now he is giving back with practical actions.

Du Shouyi went home during lunch break.

The Du family lived at the east end of the south house in the front yard, occupying two upside-down houses, one large and one small, with the main entrance on the west and the courtyard wall on the east, with no neighbors to speak of.The yard in front of the house is equivalent to their exclusive use.

The courtyard houses in Kyoto are very interesting, and the size of the houses is calculated according to "柁".

You see, there is a 'door' in the middle of the old house, which is the partition between Tuo and Tuo.The exquisite old house even made it into a carved moon gate, which is very beautiful.

The Du family had two houses, the outside was the main hall, and the inside was Du Shouyi's bedroom.There is an independent hut next door, which is lived by Du Shougui.

The inverted room is for servants or Mr. Xixi, so the room is not as tall and bright as the courtyard and backyard.

The room faces north and faces south, cold in winter and hot in summer, it is the worst room in the courtyard.There is a saying in Kyoto that goes: If you have money, you can’t live in an empty house.

However, in the 60s when the per capita living area was less than five square meters, it would be nice to have a spacious residence. What else could Du Shouyi choose?
Du Shouyi was sincerely grateful to this cheap father. In addition to the two big and small rooms, he also allowed him to have a serious job.

The father of the predecessor had a cerebral hemorrhage when he was at work and died in the toilet of the unit.

At that time, there was a disagreement between the factory leaders about whether to give pensions, because the Du brothers and sisters were both underage, and they should be sent to welfare homes if they had no relatives.

But the two brothers and sisters have two biological uncles. Although they have the same father as their mother and have not seen each other for many years, according to the policy, they should be adopted by relatives.It is against the rules to send the pension directly to the two brothers and sisters.

At that time, after the funeral, the Du family had already come to a standstill, relying on the support from the big guys in the courtyard to barely survive.

The deaf grandma, the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle, let the Du brothers and sisters take turns to eat at home, and they are all kind to Du Shouyi.

Even the unreliable He Daqing is a 'benefactor'.He wanted to take Du Shouyi as his apprentice and pass on his skills.

So in the memory of Du Shouyi's previous life, his deep affection for this courtyard really shocked the travelers.

In the end, it was the deaf grandma who came forward.She went to the factory leader with the certificate of martyrdom and asked for the pension.

Deaf grandma is not simple, but who in the courtyard is simple?
The uncle is an eighth-level worker, the 'supreme' level among workers.No matter which factory, the eighth-level workers are rare and exist like Dinghai Shenzhen.

The second uncle's seventh-level worker is not bad.Seventh and eighth-level workers have another title: senior technician.None of them can be obtained by relying on seniority alone.

If Xu Damao, the future deputy director, is added, the whole courtyard is full of talents.If you want technology, you need technology, and you need power. Is there any yard in the alley that is more powerful than this one?

If you have kindness, you must repay it.

After stuffing himself with something casually, Du Shouyi took out two small bowls of stinky tofu, wrapped ten pieces of 'Daoxiangchun' trough cake, and wandered towards the deaf grandma's house.

Older people have no taste in their mouths, and this stinky tofu is the best appetizer in summer.

And trough cake is the 'ancient cake'.The deaf grandma once mentioned that it should be eaten during confinement.She also asked He Yuzhu to make something for Qin Huairu.

But now eggs are going to be used to earn foreign exchange, gold is expensive, and they are not seen in the market at all.How could He Yuzhu have the ability to get rid of it?Du Shouyi will send ten yuan to the deaf grandma today to fulfill her wish.

When I came to the deaf grandma's house, Jia Zhang was there, and she was talking to the old lady with her three-month-old Sophora japonica flower in her arms.Du Shouyi sat aside and listened quietly.

After listening for a while, he understood that what Jiazhang said was to complain that his daughter-in-law was too busy, and muttered that she would change to a lighter job so that she could go home earlier to cook and take care of the children.

The deaf grandma said she couldn't hear, but Jia Zhang didn't care, she just babbled to herself, maybe she just regarded the old lady as a 'tree hole'.But is the deaf old lady really deaf?
Du Shouyi still had work to do, so he didn't have time to make another 'tree hole'.After listening to a few words, he interrupted: "Aunt Jia, you haven't discussed this matter with Qin Huairu, have you?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's bewildered expression, Du Shouyi continued: "Qin Huairu's current workshop counts as heavy physical labor, and she produces 41 catties of grain a month.

If she is transferred out of the workshop, she can only drive 23 catties a month as a lesbian, which is a small difference of [-] catties inside and out! "

"Ah?! Is there such a thing?"

"Why am I fooling you? If you don't believe me, you can find out after asking the aunt. Doesn't the aunt work in the same workshop as Aunt Jia?
After hearing this, Jia Zhang said goodbye and left immediately.She's going to check with Da Ma now.

There wasn't enough food in the first place, and if it was true that twenty catties of rations were missing every month, it would be a big deal for the family.
