Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

They surrounded Sha Zhu and returned to the central courtyard, but unfortunately He Daqing was working odd jobs outside, so only Jia Danghuaihua came out to welcome them, but they hadn't seen each other for nearly thirteen years.

Seeing the two girls who had grown into big girls, the three of them looked at each other in silence.

Seeing that people were so innocent, Xu Damao wanted to tell everyone about Jia Dang's half-closed door to humiliate Sha Zhu, but he was afraid that Sha Zhu would really fight with him, and his eyes were full of conflict.

In the end he didn't say it out loud. He thought he was afraid that Sha Zhu would fight him to the death, but in fact it was the kindness in his heart that stopped him.

After all, he watched Jia Dang grow up, and Jia Dang had never offended her. After all, Jia Dang was still his cousin, so he felt ashamed about this matter.

But Shazhu next to him didn't know what to say to Jia Danghuaihua, and turned back to look at the neighbors. When he saw Xu Damao, his eyes lit up and some mockery appeared on his face.

"Xu Damao, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Why don't you bring your son to let me see him?"

"You are the rooster that doesn't lay eggs. If you were Lou Xiao'e, the hen that doesn't lay eggs, you still wouldn't be able to give birth to a son, right?"

After Sha Zhu said this, everyone looked at Xu Damao with unpleasant eyes. People talked a lot about this matter in private and they all thought it was Xu Damao's problem.

But no one ever brought this matter up on the table, especially in front of Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's face turned blue and red, and he was so angry that his face turned red.

Sha Zhu refused to give up and said with a smile: "Xu Damao, my son He Xiaoke is already thirteen years old. When he comes back, I will definitely let you see him first!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao laughed instead of getting angry.

"Okay, then I'll see if He Xiao looks like you!"

After saying this, Xu Damao turned around and walked away, having made up his mind that when He Xiao came back and Sha Zhu boasted around the yard that He Xiao was his son, he would reveal He Xiao's background.

With a probability of 1/7, Xu Damao just didn't believe that Sha Zhu had such good luck.

Seeing that he had made Xu Damao so angry with just a few words that he hid in the backyard and didn't even dare to show his teeth to him, Sha Zhu's face showed pride. He felt that he had defeated Xu Damao again and regained his confidence.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and Xu Damao still hasn't made any progress. It's bad enough that he hasn't made any progress, but he can't even give birth to a son. I think he must have done too many immoral things, and he is destined to have no descendants..."

Sha Zhu was still shouting triumphantly. Jia Dang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he turned around and went into the house, and Huaihua followed him in.

Only Sha Zhu was still bragging. Many neighbors had smiles on their faces, half of them were laughing at Sha Zhu, and half of them were laughing at Xu Damao. In their eyes, this pair of enemies were a joke.

Not long after, He Daqing came back, and when the father and son met, they both burst into tears.

He Daqing felt sorry for the hardship Sha Zhu had to endure and his old appearance, as he looked like his brother.

Sha Zhu also felt sorry for He Daqing. His face was so burned that it was unbearable to look at, and his leg was lame. He was almost seventy years old, and he still had to sweep the streets in this cold winter.

After a while of crying, Sha Zhu got angry and said frankly that he would make his family live a good life in the future.

But there were no jobs available, and secondly, his cooking skills had already declined to the point of being bad. Sha Zhu was confused again, not understanding how so many people in his family would survive in the future.

Even if it was just to paste matchboxes, the street office would not have given his family so many matchboxes.

He Daqing, however, was more open-minded and said frankly that as long as one was not lazy, one would be able to survive. This comforted Sha Zhu's heart, who wanted to work hard but had no place to put his efforts.

Then there is the question of where Shazhu will live.

Jia Dang and Huaihua are both grown-up girls now, so Sha Zhu naturally cannot move back to the side room. He can only sleep on the floor next to the old couple's bed and prepare to go to the recycling station to buy an old bed tomorrow.

He Daqing didn't tell Sha Zhu about Jia Dang's affairs, for fear that he would be unable to keep it to himself and hurt Jia Dang's feelings. The neighbors in the courtyard basically never gossiped about it, so it was unlikely that anyone would tell him about it.

Not only He Daqing, Yan Bugui also greeted the neighbors in the courtyard, asking them to stop gossiping and let the past be the past!

Most of the residents in the courtyard are old neighbors now. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are considered young, but they are also in their thirties and have long passed the age of being sentimental. They know that it is not a serious matter and should not be brought up.

There were no other young people among them. Most of the younger ones were in their teens or early teens and had nothing to do with Shazhu.

No one paid any attention to Sha Zhu. The God of War fell into silence and went to sweep the streets every day. The yard was still the same as usual.

But then -

After the six notices came out, the whole city was instantly filled with jubilation, and the mass return to the city began.

Young people come back to the courtyard from time to time.

Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiefang, Jie Kuang, etc.

Their families were naturally happy that they could return to the city, but soon they began to have troubles.

Their houses were divided more than 30 years ago, and they were never big enough to live in. Now most of their children who stayed in the city have started their own families, and some of their other children have returned, so every family is almost crowded.

It's not that it's inconvenient, but that there is no room to live there.

Some clever neighbors in the yard started to build small houses, but they were all ordered to be demolished by the street office and no more construction was allowed.

So when walking through the front yard, everyone can't help but look towards the west wing. You know, these are three large houses with no one living in them, which can solve their family's current housing difficulties.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li across the street were no exception, considering they had just moved out of the house.

Now Xie Cheng's family of four live in the back house, Jiefang and Xie Kuang live in the side house, and Xie Di lives with the old couple.

They could still live there, but Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li complained from time to time, blaming him for vacating the house. The Li family's house was empty anyway, and it would be good for both families if they took care of it for a few more years.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li complained about this matter, Jiefang, Jie Kuang and Jie Di also blamed Yan Bugui, and even Yang Ruihua was no exception.

Yan Bugui, who was blamed by everyone, felt that the house was a small matter. After all, each person only had three feet of space to sleep, and it was not realistic to live in the Li family permanently.

What’s more troublesome now is his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. With so many people at home feeding him alone, won’t he be eaten to death?

The monthly pension of twenty dollars is not enough for the whole family to eat.

So they urged them to go to the street office every day to ask the street office to arrange jobs and housing for them, and they were even more unwilling to go to the Li family to discuss borrowing a house.

The bigger the house, the more expenses their family has.

It was extremely difficult to arrange jobs for the hundreds of thousands of educated youth who returned.

Every day, the street offices are crowded with young people, but there are no jobs available, so they can only wait in line for work to be assigned.

But there are still graduates who are guaranteed jobs every year. If this continues, they will not be able to get a job even if they wait in line for decades.

Yan Bugui was so worried that he pulled his hair out when he saw the grain bags were losing weight every day.

Seeing that the job allocation was unreliable, Jiefang Jiekuang came up with another idea. He asked Yan Bugui to ask the Li family for help. The Li couple were both leaders of a large shopping mall and would definitely be able to arrange jobs for them.

When Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li heard this, they were furious and kept cursing Yan Bugui for not asking for jobs for them all these years.

They quarreled fiercely, but it did not affect Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui knew clearly that although he was close to the Li family, he had always been taking advantage of the Li family, and he really couldn't say anything about it.

Besides, he also knew about the Zhou family’s previous incident at the mall.

He made a scene and forced the Li family to find a job for his brother-in-law, but ended up being sent directly to a labor camp. Judging from the date, Zhou Lin should not have been released yet.

No matter how close he is, he is not as close as the in-laws. Not to mention whether he can use his old face to ask Li Haifu for help, even if he can help, his favor cannot be spent on such a small matter.

Li Aihua's father-in-law is the mayor of a big city. There is no need to say much about Li Muhua. Li Yujie also got admitted to Peking University. All the children of the Li family are promising.

In a few years, when Li Muhua's generation comes to the fore, he can still benefit from Li Muhua's help.

By then, it would be much more reliable for him to ask Li Muhua for help. After all, he is the elder and Li Muhua's teacher. Li Muhua will definitely not refuse him for trivial matters.

So he is unwilling to break off his relationship with the Li family now.

At home, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang saw that nothing worked and the food was getting worse and worse, so they quarreled more and more fiercely.

It's not just the Yan family. Every household quarrels every day over work and house!

The parents who were so excited a moment ago now began to regret their decision and felt that it was just fine for them to live in the countryside.

Seeing the family living beyond their means and their rice bags gradually empty, Yan Bugui became furious and started looking for a good family in the city to marry Jie Di off.

As for Jiefang Jie Kuang, he also started looking for a live-in son-in-law in the city.

"Settle down a family and start a career. Settle down a family and start a career!" This is the only way Yan Bugui could comfort himself.
