Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

People of this era can eat a lot. Even a grandmother in her 60s could not fill her stomach with the little food she ate in the morning. Now, after eating half a big steamed bun with corn cob porridge, she immediately felt much better.

After breakfast, he came to his mother's room. His second sister Zhang Jiani was busy doing odd jobs in front of the sewing machine. His second sister had no job and had been relying on sewing work from the neighbors to earn some pocket money. She liked sewing and mending since she was a child, and her needlework was the best in the area.

"Second sister!

My sleeve got stuck on a nail at Xu Damao's house yesterday and got a hole in it."

When Zhang Jiani heard the voices, she turned around and took the clothes from her brother's hands. The daughters of the Zhang family all inherited their mother's looks, and each of them was as beautiful as a flower. Zhang Jiani was no exception. She was not only beautiful but also dexterous. She was the most dexterous in the Zhang family, and she was asked to do all the sewing and mending in the family.

"oops!

There's such a big hole in your neck, are you not hurt?"

After she saw the big hole in his clothes, she was most concerned about whether her brother was hurt.

"No injuries, just hanging up my clothes, I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. The clothes will be sewn soon. Wait a moment."

"Okay, are there many odd jobs today?"

"Not much. It will be done soon. After I finish this I will go and paste the matchboxes."

……

The second sister helped him sew clothes while chatting, without any delay, and finished in a short while.

After saying goodbye to his second sister, Zhang Jialiang turned around and walked out of the room. After saying something to his grandmother, he staggered out of the city carrying a fishing rod and a small bucket.

During this period, he went to a big river more than 20 miles west of the city every day to fish and pass the time.

Now he has been traveling through time for a month. Not to mention the original world, he lives a very ordinary life, just like an ordinary citizen, leading an ordinary life.

In this world of the courtyard, his name is Zhang Jialiang, he is 20 years old, it has been several years since he graduated from junior high school, he has never found a job, and he just idles around all day.

Although he was not a bad person, he neither stole nor robbed and had not made many major mistakes, but he was looked down upon by his neighbors because he did nothing all day and did not go to work. They all called him a second-rate person.

Speaking of his family conditions, he was considered poor in the courtyard.

My father passed away a few years ago. My mother works in the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Mill as a warehouse manager, earning 32 yuan a month. My fourth sister is a temporary worker in the steel mill's guesthouse, earning 5 yuan a month. These two are the only people in the family with a stable income.

There are a total of 10 people in their family, including two elder people, grandmother and mother, two older sisters, five younger sisters, and himself.

My eldest sister is married, so now our family of nine has a monthly income of 50 yuan, which is a little over 5 yuan per person on average. It is worse than the family of the third uncle next door. The poverty standard in Beijing is yuan, and their family is very unfortunate, just a little bit more than that.

In the family of the third uncle, he is the only one who has a formal job, earning 37 yuan a month. There are six people in his family, and the average salary per person is more than 5 yuan, which is indeed a little better than their family.

But these are all superficial phenomena. Although their family is indeed poor, it is not that poor. Except for himself who is idle and lazy, everyone else in his family is very hardworking. The daughters in the family have been doing odd jobs at home since they were young, and got the job of pasting matchboxes in the match factory through his father's original relationship.

Everyone in the family, except him, participated in the work of making matchboxes. His two older sisters and five younger sisters had been making matchboxes since they were young. Other children would play in the yard after school, but they spent their childhood making matchboxes except for eating, sleeping and going to school.

His two older sisters and five younger sisters all took after his mother, they were all very beautiful, dexterous, hardworking, and each of them could make matchboxes quickly and well.

By pasting matchboxes, their family earns a lot of money every month. They can earn one dollar for pasting 1 matchboxes. There are many women in their family, and they are all hardworking, so they can produce one-third more than other people.

He could earn more than 30 yuan a month by pasting matchboxes, which was quite a lot. It was almost his mother's monthly salary, which was a considerable sum of money.

In addition, my second sister does sewing and mending for others, and earns about ten or eight yuan a month. This income has greatly improved their family life. Otherwise, if they had to rely on just the two of them to support the whole family, it would be hard to tell what their life would be like.

The reason why he came to the river to fish today was because his golden finger was about to arrive. Since he crossed over to this world, the golden finger has entered a countdown for one month, and today is the last day. This is related to his future happy life. He was afraid that something might happen at that time, and he didn't want to let others know, so he came to the river outside the city, fishing while quietly waiting for the golden finger to arrive.

In this world he enjoyed the treatment he had never enjoyed in his previous world. In their family he was the most favored one, doted on by his grandmother, favored by his parents, taken care of and concerned by his elder sister, and even his younger sisters always gave in to him.

As for the reason, it is because he is the only male among eight children in his family. He has two older sisters and five younger sisters. He is the only son and the only hope of this generation of the Zhang family. The continuation of the family line depends on him alone.

There are ten people in their family. The one with the highest seniority and status is his grandmother, who is 65 years old this year, but is still in good health.

His grandmother was a very strong person, both in their home and in the courtyard. Take Jia Zhang, who was the number one troublemaker in the courtyard. When she saw his grandmother, she was very afraid and didn't dare to provoke her easily.

His grandmother had come through a rough journey in an era of war and turmoil. She had witnessed many life and death struggles and experienced many hardships and setbacks.

My grandfather passed away due to illness at an early age, and my grandmother raised my father alone through a difficult life. Naturally, she developed a strong character who was resolute and firm in her principles, so she had the highest status in their family.

His mother's name was Wang Shujuan. She was originally from a wealthy family in that era. She had attended a private school and was well-educated, but her family fell into poverty and she ended up living on the streets and was rescued by his father.

Later, with the help of his grandmother, the two got together and formed a family. Since his mother was well-educated and a great beauty, and his father was plain-looking and short, he was naturally afraid of melting if he held her in his mouth or dropping her if he held her in his hand. He always obeyed his mother's words.
