Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

In the inner room, everyone was chatting harmoniously.

After He Yuzhu took out the Zhonghua cigarettes, everyone finally tasted what good cigarettes were.

Suddenly, the way they spoke was no longer so formulaic, but they were chatting casually.

"To be honest with you, Zhuzi, it turns out that the city people who came here are the envy of the girls in our village."

"They all think about how great life is in the city. After all, some come here by bike, some take the bus, and they all have one thing in common: they wear Zhongshan suits, looking very capable."

"Although our village party secretary also wears a Zhongshan suit, he can't compare with the younger ones."

"Even my silly girl Xiaohong has thought about it. It really gives me a headache."

He Yuzhu laughed after hearing this. This was a normal idea, just like people in later generations all wanted to go to the city. It was nothing.

"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to say that. The city isn't that great. Even if the house is beautiful, it's not yours. Even if the road is wide, it's for everyone to walk on. Even the salary depends on what you do. It doesn't mean that everyone gets the same salary after working for a month."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, but Xiaohong outside was unhappy because she really wanted to be outside.

"Yes, there was a projectionist who came before. He had a pockmarked face and tried to trick my daughter. I caught him and gave him a good beating. Since then, she and the girls and young wives in the village have not been so obedient. Fortunately, the boy likes to drink and didn't come."

My goodness! When He Yuzhu heard what the other party said, he suspected that Xiaohong’s father was talking about that bad guy Xu Damao.

After all, she thought that the only projectionist who could be so bad was Xu Damao.

"Oh, really? He was tall and skinny, with a bad face and words that made me angry. I wanted to beat him up. When he left, the back of his car was full of stuff, and he insisted that it was given by his fellow villagers."

"Is he the projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill in Beijing, Xu Damao?"

He Yuzhu still said it out loud, wanting to see if it was this guy.

I've heard for a long time that this guy always comes back with a full load when he comes to the countryside, and he also deceives widows and young wives. He's a complete bad guy.

If he hadn't beaten me once and then realized I was useless and hadn't had the energy to do that anymore, I guess this guy would still come to these places to bully people.

His words shocked everyone. He was talking about Xu Damao.

"Yes, the branch secretary found out this man's name, otherwise he would not give him anything." Xiaohong's elder brother said.

"Yes, this kid came to us half a year ago. When he left, he took two old hens from us." said Xiaohong's second brother.

Ah? ? ?

"So the old hen is from your place?"

He Yuzhu immediately described the appearance of the old hen, and they then realized that He Yuzhu and Xu Damao knew each other.

"Do you know the projectionist?" Lao Zhang asked.

You have to ask clearly, otherwise you might offend someone without knowing it, which would be embarrassing.

"Yes, we live in the same yard, but I moved out. I broke a few of his ribs before moving. He rested for three months and just started working recently. I guess he doesn't have the energy to run so far."

Good boy! Everyone was relieved. It seemed that Xu Damao and he were enemies, so everything was fine.

"He and I have been at odds since we were little, and I know everything about him."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he found that he had run out of cigarettes, so he took out another pack, lit it up for himself, and started smoking.

When Lao Zhang saw what the other party did, he was also convinced.

Soon, an hour had passed while they were chatting about Xu Damao. The food was ready and everyone started sitting around the table and eating.

There was wine and meat, white flour dumplings with meat vegetables, and twenty-year-old Niulanshan, which was even better than the Chinese New Year.

Originally, Xiaohong, her sisters-in-law and Lao Zhang's wife did not plan to eat together, but He Yuzhu thought it was not a good idea, so he asked them to come and eat together.

The smell of wine and meat wafted far away, and the neighbors nearby took a long time to inhale it before they reluctantly and silently ate their own steamed buns, pickles and corn paste.

This made people nearby even more jealous of the Zhang family.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, not only because of the good wine and delicious food, but also because He Yuzhu's stories about the city helped them understand many things about the city people.

He Yuzhu saw that Xiaohong wanted to go to the city, so he calmly told her about Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's experience of going to the city.

Qin Jingru is fine. She lives independently now. Maybe she can find a man to marry in the future. I wonder what kind of life she will have.

But the process of Qin Huairu and Xu Damao's marriage was so bloody that everyone present was shocked.

He Yuzhu's words also expressed a point of view. If you were Qin Huairu, and had the skills that she did, and could play with men at your fingertips, then you don't have to worry about your own problems. Just go to the city and find the right person and everything will be fine.

If a silly girl like Qin Jingru met someone like Xu Damao, she would probably be finished.

At most, you eat their food, wear a few clothes, and then give your body to them. As for whether you can go together, God knows.

If we go there to live together, it will be humble, unhappy, and without freedom. What's the point of going to the city?

Does it mean that I don’t have to work in the fields and don’t have to feel tired every day?

But after He Yuzhu said this, Xiaohong felt that the countryside was much better than the city.

Old Zhang knew what he meant. He was just explaining to his little daughter, telling her that life in the city might not be that good, but it all depends on her own ability.

He drank a little too much, and in the end it was the eldest brother of the Zhang family who sent him back.

The kang in the room was very warm, and He Yuzhu fell asleep comfortably.

The day passed by in a daze. In his dream, he was still in Beijing, patrolling the streets of Nanluoguxiang with other colleagues.

That domineering look was really funny. He happened to meet Xu Damao. In his dream, he beat Xu Damao again, which made him feel so comfortable.

After sending He Yuzhu back, the boss came back.

"Okay, now that you're back, take your wife back to bed. There will be things to do tomorrow."

After the father spoke, the two sons naturally left in shame.

After eating and drinking, he finally had the energy to take care of his wife's emotions tonight, so they started to work hard after returning home.

That's how it is in the countryside. There is nothing to do at night. What else can you do if not this?

Xiaohong saw that her father seemed to have something else to say, so she had no choice but to stay.

"You also heard what Officer He said. Xu Damao is a liar. Remember to be smart. Don't rush to show your affection to a handsome guy from the city who rides a bike. That's useless. He won't be attracted to a guy from the countryside."

"When you're done, talk to the other people in the village, including the young wives who are about your age, about the knowledge that Officer He has imparted to them."

"This way, when someone asks you what your family and the landscape have said, you should have something to say."

Old Zhang gave his girl, who was considered smart but a little silly, a lecture, and then went to bed with his wife, leaving her here in a daze.

Her dream in the city was shattered at this moment. She was a little afraid of the people in the city. Those people were so bad!

But she did not include He Yuzhu in her heart, after all, it was someone else who told her the truth.
