Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

At the same time, Sha Zhu's situation at home became increasingly difficult.

Qin Huairu was quite resentful about his meager income, and the relationship between the two became increasingly tense.

Sha Zhu often did not go home directly after get off work, but chose to spend time in a pub near the factory, using alcohol to numb his anxiety.

Yi Zhonghai saw what was on Sha Zhu's mind.

"Silly Zhu, if you have anything bothering you, just speak it out, don't keep it in your heart."

Yi Zhonghai patted Sha Zhu's shoulder.

"Life always has ups and downs, the key is to have hope. Even if you are in a difficult situation now, as long as you don't give up, there will always be a turning point."

A gleam of determination flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was right.

He couldn't give up just like that; he had to keep going for the sake of his family and himself.

Yu Li's new job and Chen Fei's celebration plan, Qin Huairu's journey to verify the facts, Sha Zhu's family difficulties, and Yi Zhonghai's encouragement and support form a series of vivid pictures.

In that cozy seafood hotpot restaurant, Chen Fei and Yu Li's celebratory dinner was in progress.

On the table, various seafood in the hot pot exuded an enticing aroma, especially the plate of fresh abalone, whose unique taste and freshness of the ocean impressed Yu Li.

However, when Yu Li picked up another piece of abalone, she suddenly stopped, as if thinking about something.

"This abalone looks like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where," she said to herself.

Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but make a little joke, "Actually, abalone is very similar to something we often see in our daily lives."

Yu Li looked at Chen Fei in confusion, and then suddenly blushed, "Are you teasing me?"

Fade Chen touched his head awkwardly and said, "No, no, I don't mean anything else."

Yu Li finally realized that it was Fade Chen who was joking. She patted Fade Chen lightly and said, "You bad guy, you are teasing me on purpose."

Chen Fei was somewhat helpless. He just wanted to lighten the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that Yu Li would misunderstand him.

He quickly changed the subject, "Okay, okay, let's focus on the hot pot. Seafood should not be cooked for too long."

Yu Li didn't want to continue this topic, so she nodded and began to concentrate on tasting other seafood.

However, Fade Chen seemed to be obsessed with the abalone. After taking a bite, he frowned and said, "This abalone doesn't seem fresh enough."

When Yu Li heard this, she thought that Chen Fei was hinting at her misunderstanding, and she felt unhappy. "Why are you talking about this again? Don't I even know what abalone is?"

Fade Chen waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I mean the abalone in this restaurant may not be very fresh. It has nothing to do with my favorite abalone dinner I mentioned before."

But the explanation seemed to make things worse, and Chen Fei's words did not make Yu Li fully understand what he meant.

Yu Li looked at Fade Chen's awkward expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny. "Okay, I know you don't mean that. Let's eat quickly and don't waste these delicacies."

The two of them stopped dwelling on this topic and began to enjoy the food in front of them.

However, while they were enjoying themselves, they did not know that other employees in the factory had not stopped their little tricks.

After Qin Huairu learned that Chen Fei and Yu Li went out to celebrate, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

She was thinking about how to improve herself so as to get a higher position in the factory.

Sha Zhu often did not go home directly after get off work, but chose to spend time in a pub near the factory, using alcohol to numb his anxiety.

A gleam of determination flashed in Sha Zhu's eyes. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was right.

He can't give up like this, he has to keep going for the sake of his family and himself.

In this complex steel rolling mill, everyone is working hard to make a living.

Yu Li's new job and Chen Fei's celebration plan, Qin Huairu's journey to verify the facts, Sha Zhu's family difficulties, and Yi Zhonghai's encouragement and support form a series of vivid pictures.

Yu Li's arrival was like a spring breeze blowing through Chen Fei's life, bringing him unprecedented warmth and comfort.

She not only supports Chen Fei in his work, but also takes care of him in every aspect of life.

Chen Fei's life became more and more comfortable because of this. He often felt that with Yu Li by his side, it seemed as if all his troubles were blown away by the wind.

However, in another corner of the factory, Sha Zhu's life was gloomy.

Ever since he became a dung picker, his wife Jia Zhang's attitude towards him became increasingly cold, even a little rejecting.

Whenever Sha Zhu dragged his tired body back home, he could always feel Jia Zhang's cold gaze and impatient tone.

Sha Zhu felt that although he had a home, he could not return there, and his heart gradually became heavy.

Qin Huairu was observing all this silently from the side, and she realized that Sha Zhu had not yet started rebuilding the Jia family's house.

She was worried that it was not a long-term solution for their family to live in Sha Zhu's house.

What's more, she was worried that if Sha Zhu got married, they would have nowhere to go.

After much deliberation, Qin Huairu decided to find Sha Zhu to discuss rebuilding the house.

One evening, Qin Huairu found Sha Zhu and tentatively brought up the matter of rebuilding the house.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "I also want to rebuild the house, but you know the current situation, I don't have the ability and energy."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but blame Sha Zhu when she heard this, "How could you forget about our family? We have no choice but to live here."

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly, "I haven't forgotten you, it's just that I'm having a hard time right now. Besides, you've seen how Jia Zhang treats me. I can't even hold my head up at home."

Qin Huairu tried to calm Sha Zhu down, "It's not easy for us. I know you have your reasons. But we also have to plan for the future. We can't just keep living under someone else's roof."

Sha Zhu sighed. He knew Qin Huairu was right, but what could he do?

His work had exhausted him, and when he returned home he had to face Jia Zhang's cold words.

He felt as if he were trapped in an inescapable dilemma.

At the same time, Yu Li and Chen Fei's life became sweeter and sweeter.

Yu Li's joining not only made Chen Fei's life more comfortable, but also made him more motivated at work.

They go to get off work together, share life together, and plan for the future together.

With Yu Li's encouragement, Chen Fei's work performance became even better. His achievements were recognized by his superiors, which also consolidated his position in the factory.

However, in this warm atmosphere, other employees in the factory did not stop their little actions.

After Qin Huairu learned that Chen Fei and Yu Li went out to celebrate, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Thinking about how to improve myself so as to get a higher position in the factory.
