Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Yi Zhonghai asked: "You said that the steel rolling mill transferred the machine repair shop to the machinery factory?"

Although this news was not kept secret before, it was only circulated among leaders and did not spread.

After all, it was only two days, and many ordinary workers didn't even know the news.

It was only in the afternoon, at a factory-wide meeting, that the leaders of the three parties made the announcement publicly.

Yi Zhonghai was still a little confused at this time.

Yi Wending nodded and said, "It was announced at the factory-wide meeting this afternoon. Do you think Shazhu will target me?"

"This." Yi Zhonghai couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Previously, the auto repair shop was a branch of the steel rolling mill, but now it has suddenly become a branch of the machinery plant.

He Yuzhu has become Yi Wending's leader, and it is hard to say whether He Yuzhu will abuse his power for personal gain and suppress Yi Wending in the future.

Yi Wending said, "Dad, why don't you find a way to transfer me to the steel mill."

Yi Zhonghai comforted him: "Let me give it a try, don't worry."

At this time, He Yuzhu really hadn't considered Yi Wensheng's problem.

Turning a machine repair shop into a branch of a machinery factory does not mean that there is nothing to do just because the leaders announce it.

Although the original factory leaders agreed on the surface, they seemed to be secretly disobeying the order.

He Yuzhu did not tolerate them and simply sidelined them and then arranged for people to reorganize the business.

The original business began to be reduced, the mechanic repair department was reorganized, and they were trained to be suitable for work on the production line.

The mechanical manufacturing part was all returned to the original workshop to enrich the manufacturing department of the machinery factory.

Most of the personnel were screened out and all the workers transferred from other factories were placed in the air-conditioning production workshop.

After a day-long meeting, we finally finalized these arrangements and then let other leaders implement them.

He Yuzhu will not interfere in such matters, but will concentrate on researching the production line.

When she got home from get off work, the whole family, young and old, were gathered in the yard, eating watermelon. When Zhao Yuezhen saw He Yuzhu coming back, she greeted him and turned around, carrying the watermelon into the west wing.

He Yuzhu was somewhat speechless and said: "Is she so afraid of me?"

Xu Huizhen laughed and said, "Do you think you are a popular person?"

"Isn't it?" He Yuzhu sat down, picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.

"The watermelons are sweeter this year."

He Yuzhu praised that the watermelons at that time were different from those in later generations. They did not use a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the varieties were also different.

The watermelon seller only guarantees the ripeness but not the sweetness. If you buy a watermelon that is not sweet, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Xu Huizhen said: "This year, the watermelons are tastier because of the drought."

He Yuzhu ate two pieces of watermelon, and then saw Huizhi put them all away.

I asked, "Why do you need to collect it when you can just throw it in the trash can?"

"There are fewer dishes now. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy any. And the quantity is limited."

He Yuzhu nodded. He was already aware of this situation. Now every household is given a vegetable book.

Only with a vegetable book can you buy vegetables at a nearby designated vegetable store.

The daily limit for each person is half a pound, and the limit for children can be reduced as appropriate.

If you go early, you can buy fresh vegetables. If you line up late, you won’t be able to buy any until the vegetables are sold out.

"What does this have to do with watermelon rind?"

Xu Huizhi said: "I didn't buy many vegetables today, so I planned to stir-fry the watermelon rind and make it into a dish."

He Yuzhu knew before that watermelon rind can be fried and eaten, but no one usually eats it.

I couldn't remember it for a moment.

There is no shortage of grain and meat at home, but we can't take too many vegetables at one time, so we usually buy them directly at the vegetable store.

He Yuzhu said: "How about I bring some vegetables back every day when I come back."

"Not so good?"

"So what? There are thousands of people eating in the factory, how can they not have our food?"

The main reason is that he is not used to it. From now on, he can just take out some from the space every day.

He Yuzhu took the basin and took the watermelon rind to the kitchen, removed the traces of bites on it, and then peeled the skin.

At this time, Zhao Yuezhen came over with two pieces of watermelon rind.

Of course I felt embarrassed, so I just handed it to He Yuzhu and helped with cooking.

He Yuzhu asked: "Why do I feel like you are afraid of me?"

"No, you're overthinking it. I just don't want to disturb you and the two ladies."

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told you? Xu Huizhi is my child's aunt, she just lives in our house."

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Zhao Yuezhen did not refute and apologized directly, but from her expression it was obvious that she did not believe what He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu was somewhat helpless. Zhao Yuezhen lived in his home all day long. If one paid a little attention, one would be able to discover her.

As long as she can keep her mouth shut.

While cooking, Zhao Yuezhen hesitated for a long time, as if she wanted to say something to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu waited for a while but she didn't feel like saying anything, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yuezhen then said with gritted teeth: "Can you give me some food? I can give you money."

He Yuzhu asked: "Aren't you eating and living here? Why do you need food?"

Zhao Yuezhen showed her white teeth, bit her lower lip, and did not answer the question.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to say, "If you give me a good reason, I can get you some food."

Zhao Yuezhen hesitated before saying, "I had a comrade-in-arms who died to save my life. She left behind two children. They have no income, so I am the one who supports them."

"what!"

He Yuzhu was very surprised and asked, "Don't the streets care about it?"

Zhao Yuezhen said: "Nowadays, people are in a difficult situation and there is not enough food to eat. The street office cannot give them special care."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "We have plenty of food at home, so we can give you some. And you can send some food over every month."

"Thank you. You can just deduct the money for the food from my salary."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Since you are Huizhen's cousin, then don't say such polite words."

Then I asked about the other party's situation. Both husband and wife died, leaving behind two children, one 6 years old and the other 4 years old.

There is a grandmother to take care of at home, and he usually takes other jobs on the street, such as pasting matchboxes, and life is very tight.

Food is scarce now, so we don’t have enough to eat every day.

Zhao Yuezhen made this request because she saw that He Yuzhu had no shortage of food.

He Yuzhu said: "There is nothing else. We can give them 30 kilograms of cornmeal a month, which should be enough for their original ration."

"Thank you. I didn't expect you to agree so readily."

"It makes me sound like a stingy capitalist."

After finishing talking about this, He Yuzhu had finished cooking the dishes. Zhao Yuezhen wanted to take some food with her lunch box and eat it at home.

He Yuzhu said: "Let's eat together from now on."

"This"

"Don't say anything more. Call me brother-in-law from now on."

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Zhao Yuezhen had no choice but to agree.

When He Yuzhu and Zhao Yuezhen came into the main room carrying the food.

The two sisters Xu Huizhen and Xu Huizhi looked at each other and didn't say much.

I served the children their meal first, and then had dinner together.

He Yuzhu then said that he would give Zhao Yuezhen 30 kilograms of cornmeal every month.

Xu Huizhen certainly wouldn't refuse, so she asked him to do it, and even asked, "Can you get some more?"

Zhao Yuezhen said: "This is already a lot. They are just children who don't eat much."

He Yuzhu said, "I'll bring you another piece of meat, and you can take some canned food and nutritional supplements."

Xu Huizhen nodded and went into the inner room.

He Yuzhu went to the warehouse and packed some grain into a sack. Xu Huizhen also prepared a net bag containing milk powder, lactose, meat, and candy.

Zhao Yuezhen was very surprised and thanked him repeatedly, and took out the money she had saved with great difficulty.

Xu Huizhen would not accept it, of course, and said, "Call me cousin, we will be family from now on, so isn't it too formal to talk about money?"

He Yuzhu simply put the food and other things on his bicycle, went out and said to Zhao Yuezhen: "I'll go with you."

Zhao Yuezhen just thought that he wanted to go over and confirm it together, so of course she didn't object.

She was riding a bicycle in front, and He Yuzhu followed behind with food.

Xu Huizhi returned to the house and said to her sister, "Yuezhen is actually quite pretty, but she doesn't usually dress up."

"Yes, it is very beautiful."

Xu Huizhi asked, "What happened to Zhuzi today? Why did he keep getting close to Yuezhen?"

Xu Huizhen was still holding the child, teasing him, and said without raising her head:

"how could I know."

Huizhi said again: "Sister, don't you think Zhuzi is a little strange today?"

Xu Huizhen then raised her head and asked, "Huizhi, what do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything."

"Since you have nothing to say, why don't you hurry up and hold the child?"

During the day, He Yumei and Zhao Yuezhen can help take care of the child, but at night, it is just the two sisters who take care of the child.

Xu Huizhi picked up the third child and coaxed him. Half an hour later, he began to fall asleep.

He Yuzhu also came back with Zhao Yuezhen.

Xu Huizhen asked, "What's the situation?"

He Yuzhu briefly explained that it was similar to what Zhao Yuezhen said, and even more difficult.

A family of three, including a grandparent and grandchildren, lived together in one house. The house was shabby and had no decent furniture.

When Zhao Yuezhen and He Yuzhu delivered the food, they were very excited.

He Yuzhu was relieved when he saw that the situation was true. At least Zhao Yuezhen did not lie to him. They were just poor. This was an easy problem for him to solve.

He Yuzhu said: "The situation is even more difficult than what Zhao Yuezhen said. The two children are also sensible. It is heartbreaking to see them."

Xu Huizhen said, "Yuezhen is really something. She didn't say much before. I will just send some food and meat every month from now on."

"Well, the child is asleep, let's take a shower and go to bed."

He Yuzhu first tortured Xu Huizhi until she was exhausted, and then let Xu Huizhen take over and get all the essence.

These days, Xu Huizhen wanted to have a baby, so He Yuzhu adopted this method.

Make Xu Huizhi happy first, and then let Xu Huizhen take over, so that she won’t be too tired.

It was just a pity for Xu Huizhi. She was exhausted every day, her waist was sore and weak, and she couldn't even rest all night.

Xu Huizhi said with some fear: "Zhu Zi, I can't keep going like this. I can't do this on my own!"

Seeing his wrinkled little face, He Yuzhu laughed.

Xu Huizhi stretched out her hand and twisted his waist, saying angrily, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

He Yuzhu then said: "You just need to work hard for a while, and everything will be fine when your sister gets pregnant."

"You will lie to me."

Xu Huizhi said: "When the time comes, my sister will be pregnant and won't be able to serve you. Wouldn't that make me suffer every day?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. I'm sorry to trouble you."

When she woke up the next morning and waited for He Yuzhu to go to work, Xu Huizhi said, "Sister, Zhuzi is just like a donkey."

Xu Huizhen said: "It's not the first day you know this."

Xu Huizhi said: "But there were other people who shared the pressure before. It's my turn every three to five days, so I can take a break."

"But recently, Zhuzi has been tormenting me every day, and my body can't take it anymore."

Xu Huizhen asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to practice Chinese martial arts with Yuezhen?"

Xu Huizhi rolled her eyes: "That's like distant water can't quench one's immediate thirst!"

"Then what can you do?"

Xu Huizhi said hesitantly, "Sister, how about finding a sister for Brother Zhuzi so that we can live together at home?"

If it were before, Xu Huizhen would certainly not be willing.

At that time, he could tolerate Huizhi living in his house and having an affair with He Yuzhu because he could not bear He Yuzhu's daily torture.

After so many years, He Yuzhu can keep his promise and not bring back other women.

There was never any thought of giving those children a name.

Chen Xueru's child has the surname Chen, and Xu Zhaodi's child will not have the surname He. Everyone lives in peace and harmony and their own lives.

Xu Huizhen was very satisfied that He Yuzhu always liked her.

After hearing Huizhi's suggestion, she said, "It's not that we can't consider it, but there are too few people who Zhuzi likes and who are willing to be his mistress and live with us."

After hearing this, Xu Huizhi became a little discouraged and said, "Yes, not only does she have to be beautiful, but she also has to have good character and not fight or compete with you. It is really hard to find someone you can live with."

He Yuzhu never thought that they would find him a mistress. He spent all his time in the laboratory designing after work. Before that, it was just a trial production and he had never considered the production cost issue.

Now, large-scale production is completely different from laboratory production.

Every component must be re-planned, the production process must be formulated, or special supporting equipment must be developed and produced.

He Yuzhu studied each component one by one, and it took more than 10 days before the first compressor production line was successfully put into production.

There were many problems when we just started production.

Fortunately, there were no major problems overall. They were just some minor problems in the assembly, which were corrected in real time and the production line was gradually improved.

Director Zhu was very dedicated to this project and called him every two days. After a few days of trial production, He Yuzhu reported the good news to him.

After receiving the news, Director Zhu rushed over immediately and took the inspection team to visit and accept the production line.

He shook He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, congratulations. This is your reward."

Then he handed over a key.
