Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Just do it.

The next day, the Liu family bought bricks, stones, cement and other building materials, and hired several craftsmen to start building a house in the yard in front of a house.

This caused dissatisfaction among the other neighbors in the yard.

The neighbors in the backyard were especially dissatisfied.

The yard was not big to begin with, and you, Liu Haizhong, want to build two more houses, which takes up a lot of the already small yard.

"Hey... Liu Haizhong, it's not a good idea to do this. This yard belongs to everyone. If you build a house, how can everyone move around?"

"That's right. After all, I used to be the second uncle in the hospital. How can I be so selfish?"

After hearing what his neighbor said, Liu Haizhong, who was very single, started to retort directly.

"Why, I'm building a house in my own front yard, what does it have to do with you? Besides, would you ever pass by my front yard?"

"It's nothing more than I built a house and you didn't, you're just jealous, so get out of here as far away from me as possible. If you keep arguing, I'll let my son, who was a soldier, beat you up."

When the neighbors saw the burly Liu Guangtian, they didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Come to think of it, if someone builds a house in front of their own yard, it doesn't bother us. If you can build it, we can build it too. If we all want to build it, then let's all build it.

For a time, most of the neighbors in the courtyard began to build illegal buildings.

The third uncle wanted to take charge, but he didn't have enough prestige and no one believed him, so in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

Banggeng also officially started digging manure.

It is winter now, and in this era, all toilets are dry toilets. In the middle of winter, the sewage pools in the dry toilets have long been frozen.

At this time, you need to use an ice breaker to break the ice layer on the top, and then use a long-handled dung shovel to scoop up the manure water below one spoonful at a time, and then pour it into the manure truck.

It's freezing cold now and we can smell a foul odor. Besides, there are only three public toilets in the area that Banggeng and his team are responsible for.

The task is not too heavy. I am busy from morning to noon every day, and then I go home after finishing the work.

This gives Bang Geng a lot of time to rest.

Although the content of the work is a bit disgusting, Banggeng is quite happy doing it now.

However, every day when Banggeng came home from get off work, there was always a stinky smell of shit in the house.

However, in order not to embarrass Banggeng, Qin Huairu told her family not to say that Banggeng smells bad.

As for Bang Geng himself, because he has been dealing with feces for a long time, his sense of smell has long been accustomed to the smell, so he can't smell the stench at all.

So he thinks he smells good.

Just like that, several months passed in a flash.

There are now illegal buildings everywhere in the courtyard, making the place chaotic.

The neighbors in the courtyard couldn't say anything about this, because there were some illegal buildings in their own homes.

Everyone is the same, so I don't have the face to refuse.

He Yuzhu now decides to do something that goes against the original story. He wants to send Ran Qiuye and her son away to Hong Kong Island, to Ran's father and mother.

Because the most violent period of the storm is about to come.

If the previous storm was a verbal fight, then the next storm will be an armed fight, and people will really be killed with guns.

Moreover, in Hong Kong, they can receive a better education and broaden their children's horizons, but on this matter... we must do a good job of ideological work on Ran Qiuye.

Obviously, Ran Qiuye was resistant to this topic.

"Zhu Zi, I told you, I'm not afraid of them. We are a family, and we will not leave your belly."

When Ran Qiuye heard He Yuzhu bring up this topic again, she was very resistant.

She was not reluctant to leave Sijiu City, but she was reluctant to leave He Yuzhu.

"Qiuye, listen to me, this trip to Xiangdao is not just for us, but for the children."

Looking at the two children who fell asleep in Ran Qiuye's arms, He Yuzhu could only persuade them patiently again.

"The current situation is not good for the child's growth. Leaving is only temporary. In six years at most, we will be reunited. For the sake of the child, Qiuye, I listened to you in everything before, but you must listen to me this time. Let's go to Xiangdao and let the child go to the best school and receive the best education!"

"In six years, we will be reunited again. Believe me, Qiuye! In six years, the clouds will part and the moon will be bright. That will be the day when we soar into the sky."

Looking at He Yuzhu's sincere face, Ran Qiuye didn't know whether to refuse.

"Zhu Zi, why are you so sure that the clouds will clear and the moon will shine in six years? Will all this be over in six years?"

Who is Ran Qiuye? He immediately figured out the secret.

"Don't ask too much, just trust me. I'll take the children to Hong Kong Island and take good care of them. I can also spend some time with my parents."

Ran Qiuye leaned in He Yuzhu's arms and said to him reluctantly.

"Zhu Zi, why can't you leave with us? What are you hiding? We are husband and wife, is there anything you can't tell me?"

This problem has been bothering Ran Qiuye for many years.

Zhuzi seemed to be able to predict everything, and was very accurate, which was something she had always been curious about.

"Qiuye, if you believe me, don't ask anything, just trust me."

Seeing He Yuzhu's helplessness, Ran Qiuye didn't have the heart to question him any further.

"Okay, I've decided to take the kids to Hong Kong Island. You can go make the contact. It's just right. The kids haven't seen their grandparents for a long time."

In order to reassure her husband, Ran Qiuye decided to listen to He Yuzhu and go to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll go find a herd of cattle tomorrow and ask him to arrange for you to set off."

Ran Qiuye nodded, stood up, picked up the two children, and was about to send them back to the next room.

But he was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Let them sleep here tonight. I want to spend more time with them!"

In the following few days, the He family became busy. They contacted Niu Yiqun to send Ran Qiuye and her son to Hong Kong.

Niu Yiqun was a very reliable person and came to the courtyard a few days later to tell Zhuzi and the others.

"I have already contacted them. I will come to pick them up in person. You guys should also prepare. You can expect a letter within three days."

He Yuzhu also took out a few small yellow croakers.

"Uncle Niu, thank you for your help. Take these. I'll leave everything to you."

In order to ensure the safety of his wife and children, He Yuzhu did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money.

Niu Yiqun saw the small yellow croaker handed over and waved his hand.

"Master He is too polite. Mr. Lou has told me not to accept anything from you. I can't use up all the things he sent me. Don't worry, Madam and the child, I will definitely send them to Hong Kong safely."

He Yuzhu asked the other party not to accept it, but he couldn't force him, so he could only take out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and hand it to Niu Yiqun.

"Uncle Niu, I'm sorry to bother you. Take this and smoke it."

After seeing off the herd of cows, He Yuzhu went out with his whole family.

He wanted to take his wife and children to stroll around the city and take a good look at the city. After all, he would be away for six years.

Many years later, He Yuzhu came to Lao Mo Restaurant again and wanted to have a good meal with his family.

Although the current Lao Mo Restaurant has not changed its appearance, it has become much more shabby.

The scene of crowds of people in the past can no longer be seen now.

There were only a few tables of customers in the deserted restaurant.

"Alas, even Lao Mo's Restaurant, which used to be out of reach for everyone, has become so depressed now!"

Ran Qiuye hasn't been to Lao Mo Restaurant for a long time. The once prosperous Lao Mo Restaurant is now in decline.

"Lao Mo's restaurant will decline in the future, so eat as much as you can now."

He Yuzhu jokingly said that the road to Lao Mo's Restaurant is not easy to walk on. If it were not for the preservation of its commemorative address, it would have been submerged in the tide of reform long ago.

The restaurant was deserted today, and all the waiters came over to serve He Yuzhu and his friends. The service was so attentive that He Yuzhu and his friends felt a little embarrassed.

This meal made me feel like a king.

And during the entire meal, He Yuzhu hugged He Ye and He Xiao tightly.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

"Zhu Zi, after dinner, let's go to the photo studio and take a family photo!"

Ran Qiuye suggested in a low voice.

He Yuzhu nodded and held Ran Qiuye's hand.

With such an understanding wife, what regrets would there be in life?

I went to an acquaintance to take photos at the photo studio.

It was the photo studio where He Yuzhu took the photo of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu many years ago and then went to have the photos developed.

But the boss has changed, and now he is a young man with a cropped haircut.

Seeing someone coming into the room, the young man hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello everyone, do you want to take a photo? It just so happens that our photo studio has just added a camera that can take color photos. Would you like to try it?"

Ran Qiuye was also curious when he heard about the color photos.

"What is a color photo? Do you have a sample? Can you show it to us?"

In fact, as early as the early 1960s, color cameras had already been produced in China, but there was no color film.

It was not until the 1970s, when color film was introduced from abroad, that color photography officially became available.

It was not until the early 1980s that China developed its own color film production technology.

Therefore, color photos from this period are still rare.

The young man took out a photo album and opened it for Ran Qiuye to see.

The people in the photos are wearing bright red blush and posing in various poses that would be extremely embarrassing to people in later generations.

There are soldiers wearing green military uniforms and holding small red books.

There were also intellectuals wearing white shirts and having side-parted hair.

But there are more children, all with blush on their faces, looking at the camera nervously.

Although it looks funny, it is full of the sense of the times.

He Yuzhu still looks down on such photos.

The artistic photos that became popular in later generations are truly exquisite.

However, seeing Ran Qiuye's expectant face, two children clamored to have their faces done up, braid their hair and take color photos.

"Okay, boss, take a color photo for us! How much?"

He Yuzhu said to the young boss and took out the money.

"This is a color photo. It's a little more expensive. It depends on how big you want to print it. The bigger it is, the more expensive it will be. And the price will vary depending on the number of photos you have."

The young boss said to He Yuzhu.

"Just wash two sheets, normal size will do."

He Yuzhu stated his request, two tickets were enough, one for Ran Qiuye and her children, and one for himself.

"One dollar for one photo. If you take two photos, two dollars and two cents will be enough. You can pick up the photos in three days."

The young boss said to He Yuzhu happily.

"I want the photo right away. Tell me, how much?"

He Yuzhu and his friends don't have time to wait for three days. Who knows, the herd of cattle might leave at any time.

"Ah, I need it right away. Is it so urgent?"

It was the first time that the young boss encountered such a customer. He replied, "You can come and pick it up whenever the boss says you can."

"Yes, I'm waiting for it right away. Tell me, how much extra do you want?"

He Yuzhu nodded and spoke again.

"Comrade, this is the first time I've encountered your request. This is a new color film that I bought for 7.5 yuan, and I haven't taken many pictures yet..."

He Yuzhu directly took out ten yuan and slammed it on the table.

"The ten dollars is all yours. Go and develop the photos quickly. I'll buy the tube of film."

Seeing the wealthy He Yuzhu, the young boss didn't dare to say anything.

This tube of film has been almost used up and was supposed to be developed this afternoon. I didn't expect this idiot to give me ten dollars.

"Okay, wait a moment, half an hour will be enough."

The young boss put away the ten dollars and went to the darkroom with it.

The young boss was very quick. He said half an hour, but in fact it took less than twenty minutes for him to come out with the photos.

Looking at the color photos of the family of four, Ran Qiuye was very satisfied. The two younger ones also held a photo each and looked carefully at themselves and their parents in the photos.

Ran Qiuye took a photo and put it in He Yuzhu's hand.

"Zhu Zi, when you become like us in the future, just look at the photos. Also, remember to write to us!"

He Yuzhu nodded, hugged Ran Qiuye, put He Ye on his neck, then held He Xiao and went to the courtyard.

On the third night, Niu Yiqun brought a car and quietly took Ran Qiuye and her two children and left Nanluoguxiang.

Of course He Daqing knew that his daughter-in-law and her two daughters were leaving.

I can only comfort He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, it's okay. All good things must come to an end. We will meet again in the future."

He Yuzhu nodded.

Of course he knew that they would be reunited after six years, but he still felt very sad when they were really separated.

Sitting in the room, filled with memories, He Yuzhu felt even more uncomfortable.

"Dad, I want to move to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard. Can you help me move my things?"

He Yuzhu said to his father.

He Daqing also nodded in agreement.

"It's better to move there, so that I won't be reminded of the past when I see the things."

So the father and son moved their things to the backyard overnight, and He Daqing lived in the middle yard.

Because he found another woman and they were planning to get married.

But this time he still found a widow, her surname was Xia, but she had no children. Her husband was so happy on their wedding day that he drank too much and fell into the river and drowned. He didn't even have time to have a child.

This widow Xia was cursed by her own family as a jinx and a woman who would bring bad luck to her husband, and she was also looked down upon and abused by her husband's family.

Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he fled to Sijiucheng, and then met He Daqing.

He Yuzhu had no aversion to this widow Xia. She was also a miserable person.

Moreover, this widow Xia is a nice person and is very kind to the He family.

So the house in the middle courtyard was given to them to live in.

The departure of Ran Qiuye and her two daughters did not cause any waves.

In this day and age, protecting oneself is a luxury, so why would one care about other people’s affairs?

However, there is some happy event in the Jia family during this period. Banggeng is dating someone.
