Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Chapter 27: Sha Zhu's Thoughts on Qin Huairu

The deaf old lady still gave careful instructions.

"Zhu Zi, after this matter spreads, you must keep a low profile in the factory for a while, don't cause trouble, and control your reckless personality, otherwise you will suffer a great loss in the factory."

"Did you hear me? Wait a few months, when this matter has settled down, I will ask the matchmaker at the street office to find you a wife. Just live your life well from now on. Don't get involved in anything."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded excitedly.

"That's fine. Old lady, I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I'll go back first."

I saw Shazhu walking back happily.

The deaf old lady turned over and lay down.

"Oh, my silly boy, I really hope you can remember what I said. If you don't listen, you will suffer."

next day

After being looked down upon all day, Sha Zhu went to the street to study for half a day after work in the evening before going home.

So I got off work a little later than usual and overheard the gossip of my neighbors by the pool.

Knowing that Zhang Minghui has been discharged from the hospital today, I now feel relieved.

When I was thinking about what to say when I went to Zhang Minghui's house, I heard the neighbors chatting again.

"Xu Damao is treating us tonight to celebrate Zhang Minghui's discharge from the hospital today. He wants to make some delicious food to entertain Zhang Minghui. Third Uncle will be there to accompany us."

When Shazhu heard this, he was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You silly Mao, you look so ugly, yet you still want to make delicious food? Your cooking skills are too shabby, and you can only fool Zhang Minghui, a kid who has never eaten anything good."

"Just wait and see how Master Zhu shows you his skills. When you let Zhang Minghui eat it, he will definitely never forget it."

At this moment, Sha Zhu also wanted to compete with Xu Damao.

The two brothers had been at odds with each other since they were young, and fighting was common. Moreover, they were always competing with each other, both wanting to surpass the other and become the number one young man in the compound.

Yes, one is a cook and the other is a projectionist, both of which are the most popular professions in this era.

Sha Zhu glanced at the pond in the middle courtyard and saw Qin Huairu washing cornmeal in the pond. Sha Zhu immediately became alert and stood by the window to peek at Qin Huairu.

Ever since Qin Huairu married into the Jia family.

He Yuzhu was fascinated by Qin Huairu. Her sexy figure and delicate face exuded infinite charm, attracting He Yuzhu's attention.

I don’t know when it started, but He Yuzhu wanted to see Sister Qin every day. He stared at Qin Huairu’s enchanting figure and wished he could swallow her whole.

He swallowed his saliva from time to time.

Today, Xu Damao invited Zhang Minghui, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to dinner, and it was a topic of conversation among the neighbors. There were also many people who came back late and it was unclear what to say.

"It's normal to invite Zhang Minghui, but what does the Third Uncle have to do with it? How did he get in here?"

Upon hearing this, the neighbor in the front yard immediately began to describe the situation vividly.

After visiting Director Yang, Zhang Minghui had nothing to do for a while, so he started wandering around. It was almost 6 o'clock, and then he staggered back home.

At this time, many people in Yard 95 had already left work.

The door god Yan Fugui, as usual, stood at the door early in the morning, holding a small kettle in his hand, watering the flowers while looking up and around from time to time.

When he sees his neighbor coming back, he will come forward to look at him enthusiastically. His little eyes behind the mirror will stare back and forth constantly, and look into other people's bags or baskets.

After seeing Zhang Minghui come in, the third uncle Yan Fugui immediately greeted him warmly.

"Minghui is back. Are you feeling better? You are too weak. Buy some delicious food tomorrow and ask your third aunt to cook for you. Take good care of yourself."

"This abacus expert."

But to be honest, Zhang Minghui still has a different view of Yan Laokou.

Although intellectuals are good at calculating, they also do it to raise their children well and to support a family of six. If they don't calculate, they really can't survive.

I have to go fishing for money on my weekends. It’s really not easy to support a whole family.

Unite all comrades who can be united and continue to fight the enemy.

This is Zhang Minghui’s top priority. The third uncle is a good contact and he has some bottom line in his conduct.

"Third Uncle, sure. I'll buy some meat tomorrow and ask Third Aunt to cook it for me. You know, I'm too weak. I need to eat more good food to replenish myself. I'll trouble Third Aunt when the time comes."

"After it's done, ask Auntie to bring some back home so that my brothers and sisters can have a taste."

Hearing this, Yan Fugui's little eyes shone brightly and he grinned.

"Don't worry, Minghui. Your third aunt is a good cook. Let her buy you some meat tomorrow and cook you a delicious meal so you can recuperate."

"Also, ask your third aunt to help you clean up the house. You haven't been home for a few days, so there must be a lot of dust in the house. You are weak now, so don't bother."

"Okay, thank you very much, old man. I'll trouble you tomorrow, Auntie."

"That's fine. I'll let your third aunt show off her skills when the time comes."

The third uncle laughed so hard that his teeth showed.

Zhang Minghui turned around to leave, but when he saw the third uncle watering the flowers, he also started talking.

"Uncle, you have taken good care of your flowers, but it's a pity that they are so fragile."

"What's going on? Minghui, tell the third uncle."

When the third uncle heard what Zhang Minghui said, he asked in confusion.

"Uncle, you see, growing these flowers is a way to cultivate your sentiments. It's a hobby for intellectuals, and it's definitely a good thing."

"That is."

The third uncle shook his head in agreement.

"Can you still sell your flowers for a good price now?"

"It's not possible at this time. I don't know what's going on with the flowers now. They can't be sold. I can only keep them for viewing."

"Hey, Third Uncle, I have to talk to you about this."

"You see, our country is not very rich now, and materials are scarce. Growing flowers is just a hobby, and they can't be sold for money now. You can grow them later when you can sell them for money."

"You said it would be great if we pulled out these flowers and planted some vegetables. Wouldn't that save money for vegetables?"

"Hey, if you can grow vegetables on this land, it will be great. Then you can have enough vegetables for your whole family. If you have too many vegetables, you can adjust them. It will be much better then."

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, stunned for a long time, and then gently slapped his mouth with his right hand.

"Hey, Minghui, you've finally enlightened me! I've always felt like something is missing during this period."

A look of regret flashed across his face. So that's what happened.

"Yes, if we grow some vegetables on this land, then my family won't have to buy vegetables, and we can save a lot every month. Hey, you say I'm really smart all my life but stupid for a moment."

At this moment, Xu Damao walked over the gate carrying his bicycle. When he saw Zhang Minghui, his eyes lit up.

These days, Xu Damao would wake up laughing even in his dreams. Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were looked down upon every day in the factory, but Xu Damao saw it and was happy about it.
