Siheyuan: Happy He Yuzhu

Yan Jiecheng was originally infatuated with Chen Yuqiong, Xu Damao's daughter-in-law. After returning, he received education at the street office and lost his original job, so the street office arranged for him to work as a street sweeper.

This job has never been made permanent. Essentially, the sub-district office is giving him a temporary job, and then the Yan family will not have any trouble finding a job for Yan Jiecheng. They can just quit and not come back.

This would have happened to other families. For better or worse, they would have already tried to find another job for their son.

But the Yan family is different. Not to mention that Yan Bugui is reluctant to spend the money. Even if Yan Bugui wants to, his other children will not agree.

So now Yan Jiecheng is still a temporary worker, earning 12 yuan a month.

Later, the Yan family was afraid that Yan Jie's achievements would be delayed, so they found him a wife from out of town, which meant there was no fixed amount.

Twelve yuan a month is definitely not enough for the couple to live on.

Some people would say that the minimum living standard in Sijiucheng is not five yuan a month.

It is indeed five yuan. This is why in the original drama, Ran Qiuye said that the Jia family did not meet the standards for tuition exemption.

But the minimum standard mentioned here is rationed by the city, and most of them have meal stamps, meat stamps, etc.

If you are like Yan Jiecheng, you can earn 12 yuan a month and marry a wife from out of town without any quota. Not to mention renting a house, even eating is not enough.

So now, except for those who are very old and can't find a wife, the market in this area is gone.

Just talk about Jia Dongxu, if he were still alive and hadn't married yet, he would never choose Qin Huairu, no matter how beautiful she was.

Being a matchmaker means that you are familiar with each other and trust both parties, so that you can bridge the gap.

Furthermore, He Daqing originally found people he knew, including those who sold vegetables, meat, and aquatic products. Everyone was looking for He Daqing as a cook.

Yi Zhonghai just gave empty talk to the matchmaker and refused to spend any real money. Who on earth would be willing to do this for him?

It seems that at first there was a matchmaker who wanted to introduce him because he was greedy for the bounty Yi Zhonghai mentioned. If the matter didn't work out, it stands to reason that Yi Zhonghai should pay for running errands.

In this regard, even Yi Zhonghai can't keep up with He Daqing. Even if He Daqing was not paid in real money at that time, at least he would be more inclined to the introducers in purchasing some entertainment meals. This is also a way of being humane.

Yi Zhonghai gave him money and thanked him. But the one dollar he gave, after deducting the travel expenses of the matchmaker, and treating the girl to a full meal, the matchmaker herself had to put money into it.

The key is that the matchmaker introduced her, and she is similar to Liu Ping, an older leftover girl in her twenties or eighties. Although they are not nearly the same in appearance and a few years apart in age, she is indeed a yellow flower girl.

For matchmakers, it is Yi Zhonghai's blessing that such a girl is willing to marry Yi Zhonghai.

After all, He Daqing was not yet forty when he approached Liu Ping. And now Yi Zhonghai is over forty.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai didn't like it and didn't say anything. In the end, he even asked the matchmaker to pay for it. Who would be willing to do this kind of thing?

There is nothing Yi Zhonghai can do about this. His idea is that even if he is not as good as Liu Ping, at least he can't be worse than Qin Huairu!

This is not to say that Liu Ping is prettier than Qin Huairu, but it is a matter of cleanliness.

In other words, Yi Zhonghai's goal is either a clean girl like Liu Ping. Or she is as beautiful as Qin Huairu.

So it's no wonder that the neighbors spread rumors, and no wonder Liu Ping got scolded.

With such conditions, it can only be said that if Yi Zhonghai is willing to spend money and time, he can find it. For example, let Xu Damao introduce to him the kind of family in a remote mountainous area where one pair of pants can be worn by several people.

I am so poor that I don’t care about any face.

But with such a relationship, no one thinks highly of him.

Xu Damao just said something harsh, but basically he didn't mean to harm anyone.

At first, it was said that Yan Jiecheng put a hat on him, so he also wanted to wear one for Yan Jiecheng.

For this reason, when the Yan family first married their daughter-in-law, they carefully guarded against Xu Damao for a long time.

But Xu Damao didn't have a chance at first, and then he gradually forgot about it.

Life in the countryside has been slowly getting better recently, so Xu Damao is also busy now.

This kind of life with his mother-in-law in every village made up for Xu Damao's empty soul.

Ever since Xu Damao took the initiative to reveal his infertility, it was quite embarrassing at first. But as time went by, I gave up my inner worries and became more purposeful.

In addition to playing, Xu Damao also thought about his own retirement, that is, finding a widow with children to partner with.

In this aspect, his conditions are not that much better than Yi Zhonghai's.

The key is that the one closest to the water and the tower gets the moon first.

In those villages, the men left, the children were only one or two years old and were still immature, and the men's families were willing to let their daughter-in-law remarry with the children.

Even if Xu Damao's conditions are so detailed, there are still a few suitable ones.

Among them was a widow named Zuo, who fell in Xu Damao's eyes.

Logically speaking, the widow named Zuo Hong did not meet Xu Damao's conditions. After all, the other party already had two children and one more in her belly.

But after Xu Damao saw the widow Zuo, he suddenly fell in love with her.

Not to mention the appearance of the other party, it must be in line with Xu Damao's wishes. Zuo Hong's two children are also very reasonable. Zuo Hong's education is better for this. Although the life of Zuo Hong, an orphan and widowed mother, was not easy, the two children were very polite, neither stealing nor robbing nor acting recklessly.

In addition, Zuo Hong's late husband had no one at home, so Zuo Hong directly took her man's place at work.

Of course, the most critical thing is that Zuo Hong is the only widow that Xu Damao didn't win with money but has the right conditions.

Zuo Hong made it very clear that it was okay to marry Xu Damao, including the two children, and the second child could be named Xu after Xu Damao, and the one in the belly could also be named Xu, and be Xu Damao's biological child. The eldest son wanted to take his late husband's surname. After all, the couple had to leave a seed for their late husband named Yang, and the job she held in the future would also be returned to the Yang family.

This sounds like business, but it is quite in line with Xu Damao's appetite, so there is nothing to argue about.

What really made Xu Damao make up his mind was when he entered the yard once and watched He Yuzhu holding his daughter and strutting through the city with his two sons behind him.

Xu Damao admitted that at that moment, he was really jealous.

He has been a playmate since childhood, but now he has a successful career, a wife, sons and daughters. He, Xu Damao, was still doing the job of knocking on widows' doors at night in the countryside. No matter how I compare, I feel like I can't compare.

So in just three days, from the time Xu Damao made up his mind to getting married to Zuo Hong, Xu Damao had accomplished all the major events in his life.

For this matter, Xu Damao, who always acted in a grand manner, also invited Liu Mutou, who was in the same hospital, to buy him several banquets. All the neighbors in the hospital were treated to a meal.

The two sons, one aged three and the other five, kowtowed in front of all the neighbors in the hospital and called Xu Damao "Dad" instead.

Zuo Hong was young and good-looking. Even He Yuzhu, who went to celebrate the wedding of an old friend, complained about Xu Damao's ridiculous income.

The five-year-old eldest son is named Yang Dabing. The three-year-old second child changed his surname to Xu Xiaobing.

Xu Damao didn't care about this thing at first. But when the two children kowtowed and called "Dad", Xu Damao, a prodigal son in love, was also moved to tears.

After the wedding banquet, Xu Damao specially invited He Daqing to a wedding banquet and transferred his wife from the steel rolling mill branch to the steel rolling mill canteen.

There is definitely no need for Xu Damao to ask He Daqing for this matter. But after all, the person was arranged under He Daqing. Xu Damao, who knew how to deal with the world, specially said hello for this, meaning that He Daqing would take care of him.

There has been no conflict between the He family and the Xu family in this life, and Xu Damao usually respects He Daqing, so He Daqing agreed to this matter.

Regarding Xu Damao, there are only some people like He Yuzhu who are really happy for him. There are also people who talk about all kinds of gossip, nothing more than raising other people's children and not being able to raise them well.

The most powerful gossip about this thing is Yi Zhonghai. But the one I envy the most is Yi Zhonghai.

This is normal. Although Yi Zhonghai said that he was afraid that Xu Damao would not be familiar with raising other people's children. But I knew in my heart that I was suffering from pantothenic acid.

He felt that if there were widows who looked like this and had urban rations, he would be willing to do so.

The key point was when the two children knelt down and called Xu Damao "Dad". Although Yi Zhonghai didn't admit it, it had to be said that Yi Zhonghai was envious at that time.

Xu Damao's matter basically involved asking the He family. He Daqing was entrusted with the matter of his wife, and Liu Ping and Yu Li were entrusted with the affairs of the two children.

I have to say, because of remarrying. The relationship between Xu Damao and the He family has taken another step forward.

Xu Damao's marriage had a huge impact on the layout of the courtyard house.

First of all, the Yan family was completely relieved of Xu Damao. In order to express the Yan family's guilt, when Xu Damao got married, Yan Bugui was a rare generosity and gave him a pair of hot water bottles.

This is a great gift in the courtyard house. He Yuzhu only gave one as a gift. Everyone knows why Mr. Yan is doing it.

Xu Damao also made a special toast with a glass of wine and laughed away his grudges with the Yan family.

Then there is the change in Yi Zhonghai's thinking, which will be discussed separately.

There is also the loss of the Jia family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Jia Zhang didn't care, although she also thought about letting Xu Damao and Qin Huairu live together to help the Jia family. But later, with Xu Damao's rejection and Li Yun's accident, the matter was basically dropped.

But Qin Huairu was different. She had just been dumped by Yi Zhonghai. After much deliberation, after a few rounds of searching in the steel rolling mill and courtyard houses, I felt that Xu Damao was the most suitable.

She was originally thinking of using some tricks to force Xu Damao to eat her old tofu.

For this reason, she had several affairs with Xu Damao at the steel rolling mill recently. Even the matter of replacing steamed buns with steamed buns has been discussed with Xu Damao several times.

As a result, just when she was about to take action, Xu Damao actually got married. The key point is that the person she is marrying is still a widow, and she is not as good looking as her. How could she bear this tone?
