Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Time flies by like a white horse, passing by in a flash, leaving behind only the hurried traces of the years.

In the blink of an eye, time came to the spring of 1977.

Spring is like a newly painted watercolor painting, colorful. The green branches bloom with endless vitality, and sprout hope in people's hearts.

It is said that a year's plan begins in spring, so He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen also began preparations for the new year.

Xu Huizhen has been working as the director of the neighborhood committee for many years, sitting on the throne, waiting for the spring breeze of reform to blow so that she can become her own boss.

It is said that in the wind of the times, even pigs can fly. She wants to give it a try. Of course, she is not a pig, she is a butterfly with invisible wings that others do not have.

He Yuzhu is now the director of the Red Star Food Factory. In addition to producing instant noodles, the factory later produced hams of various flavors, bread, etc. All of which were developed under the leadership of He Yuzhu.

After Xu Jingli graduated, He Yuzhu arranged for her to work at the Red Star Food Factory. This was just a transition. After the college entrance examination was resumed, Xu Jingli would definitely go to college. In the original plot, she was admitted to college. Xu Huizhen believed that she had the ability.

Xu Huizhen was the director of the neighborhood committee, and it was unacceptable that none of her children should go to the countryside. Under such circumstances, He Jiankun volunteered to go to the countryside, saying that his sister was a girl and weak, and could not stand the hardship in the countryside, while he was a boy and strong, so he had no problem doing farm work.

He Jiankun was not fond of studying since he was young, and was naughty and mischievous, but he was good at fighting and making trouble. There was no other way, so He Yuzhu let him occasionally follow Qian Jin to learn some boxing and kicking kung fu, saying that he could join the army when he grew up.

However, He Daqing insisted that he learn cooking skills, saying that as the eldest son of the He family, he must learn the cooking skills of his ancestors and pass on the He family's cooking skills. You don't have to be a chef in the future, but you have to be proficient in cooking. With this skill, no matter how society changes, you will have a job.

Xu Huizhen hoped that he could also go to college. She knew that the questions in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination would be particularly simple. If He Jiankun prepared in advance, he should be able to pass as long as he was not a fool.

It's not impossible to join the army, but in 1979, there was a war between China and Vietnam, and Xu Huizhen was reluctant to be sent to the Laoshan front. If she could enter a military academy in the college entrance examination, it would also be a good choice.

So, the child was in a miserable situation. He was taken into the kitchen by his grandfather and studied under the supervision of his sister. Learning martial arts was the only thing he liked.

So he wanted to escape from the capital and get rid of the control of his family. Then he could fly freely in the sky and swim freely in the sea.

Xu Huizhen arranged for him to live in Fangshan, at Xu Huizhen's aunt's home. On the one hand, there was someone to take care of him, and on the other hand, it was close to home, so it was convenient for him to go home when something happened.

The twins are still in school and will graduate from high school this summer. The "send to the countryside" policy for educated youth has come to an end, and it is no longer a hard requirement like in previous years. Of course, in this era, you can't learn much in school.

However, Xu Huizhen never relaxed their studies. She planned for all four children in her family to take the college entrance examination and made full preparations for it.

A few years ago, Xu Huizhen got pregnant unexpectedly. Although she said she didn't want to have a baby, she was pregnant and the four of them were grown up enough to help take care of the child. The whole family disagreed with her having an abortion, so Xu Huizhen had to give birth to the baby, also a boy, named He Shuyao. He is 5 years old this year and is the darling of the whole family.

In recent years, Hu Yingzi gave birth to two more children, both daughters. Now she has four children, two sons and two daughters.

Xu Jianmei also has four children, three daughters and one son.

The marriage between Chen Xueru and Xu Damao eventually failed to stand the test of time and ended in divorce. The main reason was that Xu Damao was so active during the movement that he became the head of the Propaganda Department and became arrogant. His old habits recurred and he started to flirt with other women.

He wanted to keep the red flag flying at home and the colorful flags flying outside. Chen Xueru, on the other hand, was a person who would not tolerate any injustice. The two of them had no children, and after much quarreling, they finally chose to divorce. Chen Xueru's third marriage ended.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu finally found a man to remarry after unremitting efforts. The man was the deputy director of a workshop in a meat processing factory. He was short and had a bad appearance. His wife died of illness and they had two children, a son and a daughter.

Qin Huairu had been suffering alone for several years and couldn't stand it any longer. She liked the fact that he worked at the meat processing plant and had some power. After they got married, the man tried every means to transfer her to the meat processing plant, and finally she left the sad place of the steel rolling mill.

She took Xiaodang and Huaihua away, and Banggeng went to the countryside, leaving Jia Zhangshi alone in the courtyard, helpless and helpless. She supported herself by doing some manual work every day. She no longer dared to throw tantrums like before, because she had no one to rely on and no one would indulge her bad habits.

After Yi Zhonghai became lame in one leg, he became taciturn. Every day, he went to get off work and came home in obscurity, quietly like a transparent person. Fortunately, he had a son at home who supported his belief in living, otherwise, he might have been reincarnated.

Xu Jianshe's mother died of illness a few years ago, and his eldest brother Xu Jianshe and his family moved to the county town.

After Xu's mother passed away, Xu Wannian stopped working in the fields and began to live in retirement, supporting each of his two sons for one year.

Last year, Xu Wannian came to live with his youngest son in Beijing. Xu Jianshe took advantage of the fact that no one was at home. He went back to his hometown. Xu Huizhen accompanied him. Hu Yingzi had to stay at home to take care of Xu Wannian and hide from others.

The two men used the night time to tear open the screen wall of Old Xu's house, and sure enough, they found two iron boxes inside the wall.

After taking out the iron box, the wall was rebuilt. From the outside, if you don't look carefully, you can't see anything unusual. Besides, it will take at least half a year for Xu Wannian to come back, and even if he finds it, he won't know who stole it.

Opening the two iron boxes, one was filled with gold bars. The other box was filled with gold, silver, and jade jewelry. The amount was more than double what Xu Jianshe said in his previous life. Xu Jianshe and his wife were indeed too naive and were fooled by Xu Jianshe's words.

In this life, Xu Jianshe had taken all of them away. I wonder what Xu Wannian's reaction would be when he found out that these treasures were lost?

There were marks on several of the jewelry pieces, with the word "Han" engraved on them. It sounded like a surname, which meant that the owner of these jewelry had the surname Han. The two thought hard but could not think of any relatives with the surname Han in their family.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and keep it for now. The next day, Xu Huizhen took these treasures back to the capital, and Xu Jianshe drove to another place.
