Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

After working at the Red Star Steel Mill for more than a month, He Yushui finally received the day to pay her wages. When she went to the Finance Department to collect her salary of 15.5 yuan, she was excited and happy. This amount of money was much easier to earn than the hard work of collecting scrap copper and iron around the steel mill and the Sijiucheng Machinery Factory every day.

Looking at the 15.5 yuan in her hand, she finally understood, "It turns out that mining scrap copper and iron is hard work and you can't earn much money, except for your freedom. But working in a steel mill is a long-term job as long as you work hard!" Thinking about it... she sincerely thanked Liang Laigeng and Yu Li in her heart.

The next day, she didn't even say hello to her husband Li Youcai, but went straight to find a way to get 20 eggs and sent them to Liang Laigen's home in the backyard. Unfortunately, when Liang Laigen and his wife saw He Yushui coming to thank them, their attitude was lukewarm, not the enthusiastic interaction that He Yushui had expected. After a few polite words, He Yushui left in a slightly awkward manner.

When He Yushui got home, she saw her husband Li Youcai busy cooking dinner, and she felt relieved and happy. She consoled herself, "I took the eggs today to thank the Liang family, and I have already returned the favor of introducing me to the job."

Li Youcai, who got married and moved into the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, had been in the army and lived a single life for many years... He was very satisfied with his current life. He had his own unspeakable reasons for dating and marrying He Yushui, whom he had known for a short time. In addition, he got a house in the courtyard house with the help of He Yushui's brother. Although he was smart and could see many things clearly, he was afraid that if he talked too much to He Yushui, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and even make her doubt his motives for marrying her, so Li Youcai pretended to be confused most of the time.

After remarrying, He Yushui had an easy job and Li Youcai treated her respectfully. She lived a comfortable and easy life, as if she was lying on soft clouds and being gently caressed by the warm sunshine.

Life is like an unpredictable sea, sometimes calm, sometimes violent... On this day, He Yushui, who arrived home early, cleaned the house and waited for Li Youcai to come back and cook dinner as usual. At this time, her door was pushed open, and Li Youcai walked in holding hands with a girl and a boy, followed by an old woman.

He Yushui looked at the three people who were suddenly brought to his home in confusion. Li Youcai looked at He Yushui's surprised expression, and he introduced them in a panic and nervous manner, "This is my mother, and these two are my daughter and son. They really couldn't survive in the countryside, so they found the steel mill and me this afternoon."

He Yushui knew from her childhood that crying was useless; the Yan family was right next to the front yard, and her remaining self-esteem and competitiveness made her put away the desire to break up. Although her expression was stiff, she still pretended to be natural and greeted them.

After get off work the next day, a fantastic scene appeared in the courtyard: He Yushui was carrying a bag of "Fuzi Cakes" and distributing them to every household in the courtyard. He was followed by two children, a boy and a girl, and introduced them: This is my son Li Yongjun, and this is my daughter Li Hongmei.

The old residents in the courtyard looked at He Yushui's attitude and her actions... and almost dropped their jaws in shock. This He Yushui made them at a loss.

Arriving at Jia's house, He Yushui took out two cakes, gave one to Banggeng and the other to Jia Zhangshi. After listening to He Yushui's introduction, Jia Zhangshi was stunned. But she had experienced too much after all, and after a few breaths, she figured out He Yushui's intentions, took He Yushui's hand, and comforted her, "Telling He Yushui that if she wants to live a good life with Li Youcai, she must learn to be tolerant; the most important thing is to have her own children as soon as possible..."

Sensitive children can sense whether the relationship between adults is good or bad. The next day, when Li Hongmei took Li Yongjun to play in the courtyard, she became familiar with Xiaodang.

After Xiaodang got to know Li Hongmei and Li Yongjun, she felt that she had to do something to show her face in front of them and establish her leadership position among them. After Banggeng came back from school and joined their small team to play, she became more determined. So Xiaodang prepared to take them to do something big, and the children walked to a nearby courtyard.

The geographical location of the Siheyuan at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang is very advantageous, so many inconspicuous people live in the surrounding courtyards. Although everyone lives a hard life these days, there are still some special people who live relatively better, such as martyrs' families, retired revolutionary veterans, etc. They will have the streets and departments to care for them regularly, and send them some condolences during festivals.

Several children wandering in the compound were attracted by the half-cured duck hanging under the eaves. Li Hongmei and Li Yongjun, who had experienced hunger in the countryside in recent years, could not move their legs. Xiaodang drooled and Banggeng stared blankly with his neck tilted.

The clever Xiaodang felt that it was time to demonstrate his leadership, so he said to Banggeng, "Brother Geng, go get the duck and we'll take it home to cook."

"Xiaodang, I can't reach it!" Banggeng replied helplessly. He looked at Li Hongmei, who was a head taller than him.

Although rural children are lively and cheerful, they really don't dare to steal things. In these days, stealing in rural areas will result in being beaten half to death at the least, or being sent directly to the commune at the worst. Besides, Li Yongjun, the youngest of the Li family, is almost the same age as Banggeng, and they are not stupid.

Xiaodang looked at the timid looks of the few people, her eyes rolled, and her little triangular eyes started searching in the yard. After a while, she found a clothesline.

"Banggeng, let Li Hongmei hold you, and use this pole to pick the duck down." Xiaodang handed the clothesline in his hand to Banggeng and instructed.

Li Hongmei thought that as long as she didn't steal it, she could just hold it. In this way, several children gathered around the half-cured duck hanging under the eaves and started to pick it up. After a few tries, the duck fell down. The sound of the object falling to the ground still attracted people in the yard.

Seeing the children picking up half a cured duck on the ground and running out of the yard, several grandpas and aunts started chasing them. Banggen, who had been trained in the countryside, ran the fastest with the duck in his hand, followed closely by Li Hongmei and Li Yongjun. The limping Xiaodang was caught by the grandpas and aunts who were not very agile before he got far.

Seeing that several children ran away, they caught a lame man. The old man and the old woman threatened Xiao Dang, "Little lame man, if you don't tell the truth, we will beat you to death!"

The bad and cowardly Xiaodang confessed everything, but she was smart, thinking "I might get my share of the duck meat later." But she said that Li Hongmei and Li Yongjun stole it. The uncles and aunts took Xiaodang to the home of Li Youcai and He Yushui in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Li Hongmei and Li Yongjun, who had just arrived in the city from the countryside, were also honest. They brought the old men and women to the Jia family in the middle courtyard. Unfortunately, the door of the Jia family was closed. No matter how they knocked, no one opened the door, and the situation remained in a stalemate.

Just when the uncles and aunts were losing patience and thinking about going to the street office and the police station, people who were off work in the compound came back one after another. Li Youcai and He Yushui in the crowd were immediately worried. Li Youcai, a security guard, knew very well that "if it was really stolen by our child, he would be imprisoned in a juvenile detention center for a few years at best, or shot directly at the target at worst". He Yushui was worried that "Bang Geng must not be branded as a thief, otherwise the only root of the Jia family would be ruined."

The Jia family did not show up, so He Yushui and Li Youcai squeezed in with helplessness and approached several old men and women, and they all spoke nice words and apologized. Li Youcai revealed his identity as a security guard at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, took out 5 yuan and handed it to the leading old man, and kept apologizing and promising that "I will strictly discipline my child and will never let him do it again..."

People of this generation are generally simple and kind... The uncle in the lead did not take advantage of the situation. Seeing that the children's parents were apologizing so sincerely and with such a good attitude, he did not make things unduly difficult for them. He took the money, gave Li Youcai and He Yushui a few instructions, and then left with his men.

At night, the aroma of bacon wafted from the Jia family’s house, and from the back house in the front yard came the heart-wrenching cries and begging for mercy of boys and girls...
