Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

He Yushui couldn't stand the bullying of these people and wanted to go find Yang Hehua, but when he got there he found that Yang Hehua's door was locked.

I want to find someone to ask, but I don't know who to ask because they have gone.

I had no choice but to hide back in my room again.

Where did Yang Hehua's family go? Of course, they went back to her mother's home.

Although Xiao Dong is no longer around, Yang Hehua still has to go back to her parents' home this time.

Especially the relationship with my mother's family has been restored a lot.

This stay lasted for three days.

It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, and I'm bringing my three children and Xiao Qian with me, so naturally I have to stay for a few days.

After returning to the courtyard, Yang Hehua learned from Zhou Qi's grandmother that He Yushui had come to see her. She originally wanted to take advantage of the time to go see her, but some colleagues from the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill came to visit her one after another as if they had made an appointment.

Even at the subdistrict office, Director Wang had people send some New Year benefits to the martyrs' families.

Yang Hehua was so busy that she forgot about it.

As time goes by, in order to improve the urban living environment, prevent the spread and epidemic of vector-borne diseases, protect the health of the people, avoid crop losses, and control the economic losses caused by the four pests, the country has proposed to complete the task of eliminating flies, mosquitoes, rats, and sparrows within 10 years or less.

People in every street and alley began to get enthusiastic about this campaign to eliminate the four pests.

The courtyard where Yang Hehua is located is no exception.

Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and other young boys often followed people from outside to the Summer Palace to carry out the campaign to eradicate the four pests.

They held various weapons such as straw men and sweeping brooms, made constant noise with pots and pans, and shouted slogans to prevent sparrows from flying back to their nests to rest.

They have only one purpose, which is to scare the sparrows and make them fly around in the air until they are exhausted and fall down.

The sub-district office has also made some adjustments in response to the hard work of the people in the campaign to eradicate the four pests. People can exchange a certain number of kilograms or a certain number of the four pests for some prizes at their sub-district office to mobilize the people's positive emotions towards the campaign.

Sometimes on her way to and from get off work, Yang Hehua would come across teams of people exterminating the four pests, chanting rhymes in unison.

"Mice are treacherous, sparrows are bad, flies and mosquitoes are like you. They suck people's blood, bring diseases, steal people's food and cause damage."

Even Zhou Qi's school gave them a ten-day holiday, saying that there were no classes and the time was specifically for "eliminating the four pests."

Within ten days, each person must kill one hundred flies, one hundred mosquitoes, ten rats, and ten sparrows.

Flies and mosquitoes must have their entire bodies checked, mice must have their tails handed in, and sparrows must have their claws handed in. Those who fail to complete the task will not be allowed to enter the classroom.

Of course, Zhou Qi was young and couldn’t remember so much. These contents were said by his second uncle Yan Bugui in the courtyard.

In order to complete the task, Zhou Qi followed her classmates to gather at the public toilet every day, put the killed flies and mosquitoes into small bottles, and wrapped the mouse tails and sparrow legs with waste newspapers, and handed them in to the teacher when the time came.

However, in an era when everyone was working to eradicate the "four pests", it was not easy for students like Zhou Qi to complete their mission.

They often got together in groups of seven or eight classmates, following the adults to chase sparrows and catch mice, and often had no time to eat dinner.

Sometimes, in order to complete the task, Zhou Qi even bothered Yang Hehua.

There were no rats in Yang Hehua's house, but in the wing room in the central courtyard that she had bought from Liu Cuihua, she mixed a lot of rat poison with corn kernels grown on the farm, and killed more than a dozen rats.

Zhou Qi asked her father Zhou Yankun to take them all away.

The long line of mice made the other children in the yard extremely envious. They shouted for the adults at home to find Yanghehua medicine to kill the mice.

Yang Hehua didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she just frowned and refused.

This is hard work, and Yang Hehua doesn't have that much love to devote to it.

Just after June 1958, Yang Hehua found some changes when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things again.

First of all, the food supply is only available for two hours a day, and there is a limit on how much food can be purchased at one time.

Yang Hehua knew that the people above had begun to take action.

After the news of food supply and purchase restrictions spread, the people in the Siheyuan began to get anxious.

As soon as Yang Hehua got home, Xiao Qian pulled her aside and asked quietly, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Grandma Qiqi that there are restrictions on food purchases now. Should we buy more food to store? "

Xiao Qian spoke very quietly, mainly because she was afraid that the three children would hear the questions she was asking.

Mainly because some time ago, Xiaobao turned two years old on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and Xiuxiu and Manman also turned seven years old on the first day of the second lunar month.

As children grow up, they understand a lot more.

Food is a big problem. Xiao Qian didn't want the two older children who could understand to hear it and worry about this and that, and end up not daring to have enough to eat.

"Don't worry!" Yang Hehua felt the anxiety coming from Xiao Qian, reached out and patted her shoulder: "I put a lot of food in your brother's room before, and there is also a lot of food in our attic. You won't starve, but you are right to remind me, I will stockpile more food in little by little when the time comes."

After all, I have food in my hands, so I don't have to worry.

Xiao Qian naturally felt relieved after hearing what her sister-in-law Yang Hehua said.

"Okay! Sister-in-law, this is my royalty for the time being. You can use it to buy some food, and consider it as my share of the burden for the family."

As she spoke, Xiao Qian stuffed the money and tickets she had prepared earlier into Yang Hehua's pocket.

This is the royalties Xiao Qian received from the short stories she wrote in the past six months. She has both money and tickets.

As for money, there were about 60 yuan and more than a dozen tickets, all of which were food coupons.

Yang Hehua just touched it with her hand and guessed the amount. She didn't retreat and smiled at Xiao Qian: "Okay!"

Xiao Qian felt a lot more relaxed after seeing this smile.

Smelling the smell of meat wafting into the house from outside, Yang Hehua knew that someone in the courtyard was eating meat.

After some guessing, it might be Jia Dongxu's house.

After all, over the past six months, the aroma of meat wafted from the Jia family's house every now and then.

Besides, Qin Huairu is pregnant.

The baby in my belly needs nutrition, so naturally I pay more attention to what it eats than before.

Oh……

I forgot to mention that the naughty kid Banggeng is back.

It has been more than five months since I came back.

Because I had a fever before and damaged my throat, becoming mute, and I was in a juvenile detention center for a month, so I have been a lot quieter recently.

Yang Hehua did not pay special attention to the situation of the Jia family, but the aunts and young wives in the courtyard were quite concerned.

However, the person they are most concerned about is Su Qinmi.

There has been no fighting in the courtyard since the feud on New Year's Eve, but there are still quarrels.

It was this group of arrested aunts, young wives and Su Qinmi who quarreled the most fiercely.
