Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

He Lin came out of the space and looked at the bare room. He couldn't help but feel sad for his original self.

In fact, this is the case for most families in this era, or it can be said that this is not bad, after all, you still have your own house.

Even in my time, not everyone owned a house.

He Lin lay on the ground and removed a floor tile from under the bed, revealing a small box inside.

When they opened the box, they found a stack of big black notes inside, and at the bottom was a house deed, which contained the deeds for the three houses that He Daqing left for them.

Although Sha Zhu is older, He Daqing may have thought that Sha Zhu is stupid since he was a child.

It would be safer to leave such an important item as the house deed with my second son.

He Lin counted the money in it and found that there were 24 big black tens, and a small stack of various bills, including 8 taels of meat coupons, 3 non-staple food coupons, 20 jin of grain coupons, etc.

It turned out that He Lin used to save 10 yuan after receiving his monthly salary, to save for himself when he got married and to prepare a dowry for Yu Shui.

After working for two years, he naturally saved more than two hundred yuan. It was really rare for this kid, but unfortunately he was unlucky and met Brother Sha Zhu. It was a waste of this man.

He Lin put the 240 yuan, the bills, and the title deed into the space, thought for a while, and took out another 50 yuan.

Write the word "Lin" on the corner of each coin with a pencil (don't say that this damages the RMB. In his previous life, when He Lin was paying tuition in elementary school, the teacher still made such a request, not to mention in the 50s). These yuan must be kept for the famous "Thief Saint" in the compound.

Speaking of the courtyard house at No. 94 Nanluoguxiang, the most famous person is neither the few old men nor the deaf old lady, but Banggeng, who is only eight or nine years old.

Banggeng's real name is Jia Geng. He is the eldest son and grandson of Jia Dongxu, the eldest son of the Jia family, and the youngest master of the Jia family.

Under the careful teachings of Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhang, Banggeng has been "chivalrous and righteous, robbing the rich to help the poor" since he was a child.

He eats up the food that other people can't finish and helps them solve their problems. He is a rare "good child".

Whether this courtyard is in a mess or not, Jia Zhang is the one who holds up half the sky.

Jia Zhang is also a rural person around the old city. Since she married Old Jia, she has been growing up under the "guidance" of her mother-in-law.

After finally sending her mother-in-law away, she became a mother-in-law after being a daughter-in-law for many years, but she had not enjoyed a good life for two days. As a result, she sent Old Jia away again, and they had a buy one get one free deal, which really cheated Jia Zhang.

Fortunately, before Old Jia passed away, he found a wife for Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, the sister of Sha Zhu.

Jia Zhang inherited the fine traditions of the Jia family. After Qin Huairu came into the family, she became even more aggressive and severely exploited this rural girl.

Not only does she have to do all the housework every day, she also has to endure Jia Zhang's verbal taunts, which can be described as a double blow of physical attack and magical damage.

When they first got married, Jia Dongxu was protective of Qin Huairu. After all, Qin Huairu was beautiful and willing to give Jia Dongxu some treatment, which made Jia Dongxu so happy.

It’s a pity that flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again.

Over the years, Jia Dongxu felt a little overwhelmed and ignored Qin Huairu and no longer protected her.

Not only did Jia Dongxu feel annoyed when he got home, he also lacked the energy to work.

Although fitter work does not require as much physical effort as blacksmith work, it is still work in a workshop and requires strength.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu has recently become pregnant again. This is her third child, which also gives the eldest son of the Jia family some time to recover.

After Jia Dongxu started working and had some money, he developed a drinking habit.

He was also a second-level fitter, with a monthly salary of 38.6 yuan, but he only gave Qin Huairu 10 yuan a month for living expenses and 3 yuan for Jia Zhangshi's retirement allowance, and the rest was spent on his own drinking and eating meat.

Money that entered Jia Zhang's hands was never spent. Poor Qin Huairu had to provide for the food and drink of three adults and two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang, with only 10 yuan a month.

It's really a bit tight. Let alone eating meat, even eating nine meals of steamed buns in three days will not last until the end of the month.

Poor mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, not only does not work, but also wants to eat and drink well.

Normally, at his age of over 50, he could do odd jobs outside or make matchboxes to add some income to the family.

She, on the other hand, would sit in the yard every day, basking in the sun and chatting while holding her starched soles.

Moreover, she is a very foul-mouthed person. She is either quarreling with this person today or throwing a tantrum with that person tomorrow. When she gets angry, she even performs necromancy and summons Lao Jia to join the battle.

She offended a lot of people around her, and the aunties and grandmas in the yard basically ignored her.

It is said that Jia Dongxu is a lazy person, but he has to go to work every day due to pressure.

He also had many conflicts with his co-workers in the workshop, perfectly inheriting the fine tradition of the Jia Zhang family. However, because he had a master who was a seventh-level worker, Yi Zhonghai, a big uncle in the courtyard, everyone dared not speak out and tried their best not to conflict with Jia Dongxu.

In addition to the He family, the Jia family, the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui, there are also about twenty families in the courtyard, including Xu Damao, the deaf old lady, Aunt Zhang at the door, and Aunt Pang.

The family that had the best relationship with He Lin was Aunt Pang's family. After He Daqing left, He Lin and Yu Shui were still young, and Sha Zhu didn't know how to take care of them, so He Lin and Yu Shui often went hungry.

He Lin and Yu Shui often ate at Aunt Pang's house. Even when Yu Shui had her first menstruation, it was Aunt Pang who helped her learn about physiology.

Aunt Pang has a daughter who married and moved to Tianjin some time ago. Now Aunt Pang lives alone. A few days ago, when chatting with He Lin, she revealed that her daughter and son-in-law wanted her to live with them in Tianjin.

If I go to Tianjin with my daughter, I won’t be able to use this room here.

Because the house she lived in was a public housing unit on the street, she only had the right to rent it and could not buy or sell it.

However, during this period, most people lived in such public housing, and they only had to pay a small amount of rent to the street to continue living there. After the policy changed in the later era, they only had to pay a small amount of money to make up for it, and this kind of public housing became private housing that could be bought and sold.

Aunt Pang wanted to transfer the house to He Lin, but He Lin already had a house and did not meet the transfer requirements, so the transfer was not implemented. At that time, there were too many people in the city who needed houses, and one person could not own two houses.

He Lin was thinking about the people and things in the courtyard, and he planned to find Sha Zhu first. "To fight against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the country," so he decided to solve Sha Zhu's problem first.

If you can't settle down, just kick Sha Zhu out, run the He family yourself, and let him live happily with his sister Qin.

As for He Daqing, his adopted father, He Lin hasn't made up his mind yet.

Although He Daqing abandoned his three children, he still arranged jobs for them and sent Yu Shui to school since he was young. Compared with most families at that time, he was able to fulfill some of his responsibilities as a father.

He Lin planned to take Yu Shui to Baocheng once his life became stable and to have things sorted out with him.
