Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

"In many villages, half of the people have died, and many have fled. Our area is considered good. Haven't you seen that the government is giving out free wives in this street?

If a bachelor who can't get married wants to get married, just go and get one.

But you see the streets are crowded with people, is there anyone to pick up the virgin girl?"

Xu Damao couldn't help but sneer

"You know what? I actually saw one. It was Old Wang who cleaned the toilet in the machinery factory in our front yard. He must be over 50 years old! He brought back an 18-year-old girl. The girl was so grateful that she even washed his feet at night."

"Old Wang? You're so old, do you still want to have a child?" Han Ruoshui couldn't help but be surprised. In years of famine, ordinary women were really worthless, not even as valuable as a few dozen kilograms of grain.

"Every man wants to leave a descendant, and Old Wang brought this woman here so that she can take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

Both of them will be happy. If Old Wang dies in the end, the job will definitely be given to this woman."

Han Tiejun chewed the rabbit bones that were already chewable and said slowly:

"Isn't that what Uncle Han said? I heard that those women were vying to be Old Wang's wife, and Old Wang picked the most beautiful one."

Xu Damao couldn't help but snorted twice

He Yushui's heart was trembling when she heard this. Oh my god, I have to be a good boy from now on. If my brother doesn't care about me, I will starve to death.

In fact, He Yushui had a certain amount of resources. He was born in the capital, and he had a brother named Shazhu. Both the original owner and He Yuzhu had surpassed most people.

Lou Xiao'e had a smile on her face most of the time, watching everyone chatting with a gentle face, and occasionally responding to their words.

She and Xu Damao don't have children yet, and her parents-in-law are urging her to have one, which makes her feel very complicated.

Now their family has become very low-key, for fear of being envied by people at the lower level, but they are still often reported.

The two elder brothers had prepared for the worst and had transferred more than half of the family business abroad a few years ago.

And it has been operating in various ways...

Even some of my nephews have strategically disappeared...

When my father turned 60, he wanted to return to his hometown and live a stable life here.

But it doesn’t feel good…

They hid everything they could bury and hide...

Apart from those on the surface

Then I gave some to some relatives and my family, but they were all very cheap...

After all, the Lou family is a big family with a lot of wealth...

Who would believe you if you said you had nothing?

She also put some gold bars on the surface, but in fact, gold bars are the cheapest for capitalists...

The real value is the kerosene drill

It's the top grade jadeite

It is the huge deposits in capitalist countries, in safe deposit boxes in Switzerland...

And those that had been arranged before liberation

Father is gambling

But my father often said in private recently that he had lost about 60 to 70 percent of the money.

"Have you heard? Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai have been asking around in Ketianxia recently and are looking to adopt a child."

Xu Damao suddenly said

"I should ask you to see who has children in the countryside."

He Yuzhu was surprised and understood Yi Zhonghai's transformation in the past few months.

Although his salary cannot be increased, it will basically remain like this until retirement.

But his skills are still there. Although he can't accept disciples openly, he can do it secretly.

Let's put it this way, in addition to not teaching Qin Huairu the locksmith skills properly and keeping his distance, he secretly took in 5 apprentices.

The five apprentices all came from well-off families, and he taught them very attentively. The five of them would more or less give him some filial piety so that his life was not bad.

“But there is no suitable one. Yi Zhonghai wants a boy who has no memory at all, whose parents are both dead, and preferably one who has no family members.

Where can I find one? Later he said it was okay, and there were many people willing to give the baby girl away.

However, I am afraid that after the girl grows up, those people will come to me. After all, this kind of thing happens a lot. After raising her for more than ten years, in the end, nothing happens. It is better for the old couple to enjoy the money they earn!"

Xu Damao sighed.

"This is indeed a difficult matter. There are no children in this orphanage who are too young. They can all remember things. As for the children of martyrs... Yi Zhonghai is not qualified to adopt them.

As long as the parents are alive, or if there are uncles, grandparents or great-grandparents alive.

Even if the child is a girl, they don't care now and are willing to give her away, but she will grow up in the future.

You should just make a fuss and admit it, asking for a dowry and this and that..."

Han Tiejun was deeply touched by this incident. Fortunately, he and his wife were lucky. They found Ruoshui, who was still in her cradle, in the cold weather.

The swaddling clothes were made of fine silk, and the quilt was not made of cotton but silk. Ruoshui also had a jade pendant hanging around her neck, which was obviously of very good quality.

They quietly took the child away and took their wives to live with a comrade-in-arms in another city for a while.

When he came back, he said that his wife had given birth to a sickly baby girl prematurely, and everyone believed it without a doubt. After all, the child's eyes looked exactly like his wife's!

The main reason is that when people adopt children, they basically adopt boys, especially when they give birth to a girl at their age, and naturally they won’t be suspicious if they don’t have a son to leave behind.

“If I really want to adopt, it’s not impossible, it’s just that Yi Zhonghai doesn’t have enough connections.

Those who fled famine must have thrown their babies away, and after that, no one knows who the parents are. "

He Yuzhu touched his chin and said

At this moment, a figure flashed past their window, but it was normal for someone to pass by at this time, so they didn't take it to heart.

As a result, a few days later, Yi Zhonghai and his wife revealed a big news: Aunt Yi was pregnant!

This not only made He Yu stop, but it could even be said that everyone in the courtyard looked at Aunt Yi in a wrong way! But no one said anything.

Then Aunt Yi felt uncomfortable in various ways, and finally Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and sent his wife to the hospital.

As for how the deaf old lady fared, Yi Zhonghai didn't care and finally had to take over. Anyway, whoever took over could get the 5 yuan a month, plus the old lady's ration.

Before anyone could react, the deaf old lady moved away. As for where she moved to, no one wanted to ask. After all, they could barely get enough to eat, so how could they care about others?

Yi Zhonghai is really cruel. Aunt Yi has never returned since she was admitted to the hospital.

Of course, I also know that he did have quite a bit of savings before, and now he has filial apprentices.

How should I put it? In this world, people will not treat you well just because you are a good person.

But if you have abilities, are useful, and are willing to be used, then you are more likely to be treated well.

This is the case with Yi Zhonghai. Although his character is not good, his skills are solid.

In the past, he was cunning and didn't want to teach seriously, wanting to hold back. But now, he teaches well whoever gives him a gift.

Moreover, there were some precision parts in the factory that really needed him, because those with more skilled skills had gone to the Northwest to do greater work, so his life was not bad.

He can fully afford the cost of his wife staying in the hospital.

It can be said that in the whole courtyard, except for Jia Zhang who occasionally cursed and swore, wondering what the Yi Zhonghai couple was up to, no one else said anything. After all, what happened to the Yi Zhonghai couple had nothing to do with them.
