In the crowd in the yard, everyone carefully took their cash to the bank to exchange it for new currency. He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru also set off with some of their funds. Also accompanying them was He Miao, the director of the street office.

Walking on the road, He Yuzhu looked at He Miao and asked, "Are you going to the bank to change the money in person?"

He Miao smiled and said...

"We are ordinary people too."

"No exceptions. This is our goal in participating in the war and fighting for freedom." So the group walked towards the bank.

Since today is the first exchange day, there are many people queuing up in front of the bank, almost shoulder to shoulder. It is almost impossible to squeeze in.

So, He Yuzhu suggested that everyone go to the restaurant opposite the bank to eat something. After the meal, they walked out again and saw that it was still as crowded as before. "It looks like today's plan will fail." Chen Xueru said a little surprised. But He Miao had a different opinion.

"Sister-in-law, if you miss the opportunity today, the future will be even more difficult."

"Although there are a lot of people on the first day, most people may think that the first day is the most chaotic and decide to postpone the exchange date, but in fact today may be the easiest time." He Yuzhu deeply believes that this statement is very wise. Even if there are a lot of people at present, once you start queuing, it doesn't take a long time.

"The main reason is that I have to be busy with work later and I am only free today, so I have to change it now." He Miao said as he walked forward.

He Yuzhu followed closely behind, and Chen Xueru also followed behind.

After waiting in line for about 40 minutes, it was finally their turn. As they approached the window, they heard a voice.

"Comrade, this is seven hundred thousand in total, please count it." "Don't make a mistake."

Hearing this familiar voice, He Yuzhu and his companions all looked up at the counter, because the person who spoke was Jia Zhang.

Behind Jia Zhang was Jia Dongxu! The two of them came to exchange money.

Jia Zhang's tone was very anxious, as if she had never been so anxious before.

It seemed as if the guy at the counter would swallow up her hard-earned money in the next moment. "This is all I have."

The bank employee at the window already looked a little impatient.

Most of today's customers are old ladies, like Jia Zhang. Some people don't understand why 10,000 yuan can only be exchanged for one yuan, and some people are worried that the money will be embezzled by others. There are all kinds of situations.

However, it was soon Jia Zhang's turn to receive the cash, and seventy yuan fell into her hands.

Jia Zhang quickly stepped back and began to count the money carefully, counting it several times, because the money was not shared by the Jia family, but her own property.

This meant a lot to her. Then it was Jia Dongxu's turn.

Jia Dongxu could only exchange it for forty yuan.

After all, his monthly salary is only about 30 yuan, and all the expenses of the family are borne by him alone, especially since there is a new child in the family recently, the expenses are even greater.

More importantly, they still live in the same rented wedding house and have to pay rent every month.

Jia Dongxu was also responsible for all of Jia Zhang's expenses.

Therefore, I was lucky to get forty dollars.

Only the Jia family came to the courtyard. After all, people in the courtyard had different opinions, and they all understood that they should not show off their wealth easily.

Exchanging money will inevitably expose one's wealth, and those who are poor will appear even more helpless.

Those who have some assets are worried that once they are exposed, they will attract the covetousness of others.

If someone comes to borrow money, it will be much more difficult to deal with. Therefore, when they exchange money, they will try to avoid acquaintances.

After Jia Dongxu received the 40 yuan, he was about to take Jia Zhang away. At this moment, he saw He Yuzhu.

When they saw He Yuzhu, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu's eyes were attracted. Jia Zhangshi's eyes were fixed because she thought He Yuzhu must be very rich.

Jia Dongxu had two reasons: one was his curiosity about He Yuzhu's wealth, and the other was to see Chen Xueru again.

After more than 20 days, he was still amazed to see Chen Xueru again. Jia Zhang was no longer in a hurry to leave, and wanted to see how much He Yuzhu's wealth was.

When it was He Miao's turn to exchange money, he exchanged a total of fifty yuan, which was all his savings. Then it was He Yuzhu's turn.

He Yuzhu put a bag in his hand on the counter.

"Comrade, please count the money. I need to change 2560 yuan."

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, the whole scene fell into silence. 2560?

This is simply a rich man, right?

When Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu heard the amount, their hearts almost stopped beating. Everyone at the scene was also filled with shock and anxiety.

They changed so much, but it's still not as much as this person's.

The staff at the window immediately gave up his seat and invited a leader behind him to come over. "Comrade, the amount you exchanged is too large."

“We need to verify your source of income, as well as your identity.”

At this time, He Yuzhu began his statement.

"I started working as the chef at Huaxinglou when I was less than 17 years old." "My name is He Yuzhu."

"The monthly salary at that time had reached more than 80 yuan."

"I have not spent any money for many years. I have saved it all. As for my identity..."

At this moment, He Miao stood up from behind and showed his ID.

"Just give him a simple registration."

"I'm the director of the neighborhood office on this street." "Just follow the rules."

"There is no problem with his identity. He even accompanied Minister Zheng to capture the enemy before, and there is an official medal of honor at home."

When the staff saw the director of the street office, He Miao, appear, they did not ask any more questions.

He Miao's identity as the person in charge of this block has long been well known, and this entire area is under his management.

Since Director He had spoken, it was natural for the matter to proceed.

He Yuzhu packed up his money and went to the side to wait. Next it was Chen Xueru's turn.

She quickly verified her identity. Being the wife of a martyr was enough to prove her identity.

In the end, she exchanged nearly 1500 yuan in cash.

The generous savings of He Yuzhu and his wife were displayed in the bank, and everyone on the scene was full of envy.

The Jia Zhang mother and son, who were hiding nearby, were so angry that their teeth were itching.

On the way back, the two seemed particularly depressed, especially Jia Zhang, who was furious.

Seeing He Yuzhu living a comfortable life now is more fatal to them than any blow.

The most important thing is that He Yuzhu only spent three years to earn the money they earned in most of their lives. No one can accept this kind of thing, right?

When Jia Zhang and her son returned to the courtyard, they happened to meet a few people who were out for a walk. The first person to come out was Yan Bugui.

"How's it going?"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Are there many people?"

“How long did you wait in line?”

Jia Zhang was in a particularly bad mood and said angrily, "I don't know." Then she went straight back to her home, not wanting to pay attention to her beloved grandson. "What's wrong with her?" Yan Bugui looked confused. He was very unhappy to be given such a cold shoulder. Jia Dongxu also began to feel irritated.

"When I was exchanging money just now, I met He Yuzhu and his wife." "The two of them exchanged 4,000 yuan in total."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else in the yard was stunned. They wanted to say that He Yuzhu's money came from unknown sources and wanted to teach him a lesson. But since it could be exchanged for money, it meant that He Yuzhu was clean and innocent. He Yuzhu was so upright that no one could do anything to him, which made them feel anxious.

Yan Bugui was stunned, his mind full of money! This is a full four thousand yuan?

Even if He Yuzhu spent money freely, he might not be able to squander it all. At this time, every family was struggling to make ends meet, but He Yuzhu was already rich, which made Yan Bugui regretful.

If I had known that I would have taken better care of He Yuzhu, maybe he would have repaid me after he became rich. Even if he gave me a few dozen yuan as a reward, it would still be a considerable fortune for Yan Bugui. What a pity...

When Yan Bugui saw the abandoned He Yuzhu, he simply chose to ignore him and avoid him. Similarly, after hearing that He Yuzhu had so much money, Yi Zhonghai in the backyard also felt deeply regretful.

If Yi Zhonghai had supported He Yuzhu back then, even if it was just a pretense, he might have gotten a share of the profits now. In fact, Yi Zhonghai was not short of money, but he was heartbroken to see He Yuzhu's success.

Because he spent almost all his time and savings on supporting Jia Dongxu, trying to impress him. However, it seems that Jia Dongxu's ability and prospects are far inferior to He Yuzhu, and he will not be able to match him in the future. Even he himself has problems making a living.

Now, he even doubted whether he could rely on Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age. This worry made Yi Zhonghai gradually realize that Jia Dongxu might just be a useless person. Yi Zhonghai even thought that his investment in this person would be wasted. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Maybe what Xu Damao said was not entirely unreasonable: he should find a new wife and have children. But he always wanted to maintain an image of pure love.

The point is that he didn't want to give up. Now it's too late.

Yi Zhonghai is now 42 years old. If he really has a child from now on, by the time the child is able to take charge of the family, he will have already entered his 60s. Moreover, it is hard to say whether he can live to that time.

Even if he had the chance to choose again, Yi Zhonghai would probably still stick to his wife and accompany her all the time. In some aspects, Yi Zhonghai might not be outstanding, but his feelings for his partner were impeccable! So Yi Zhonghai began to worry.

Compared with He Yuzhu, his own tools for the elderly are not only inferior, but even useless. Who wouldn't be anxious?

A few days later.

He Yuzhu went to school as usual. But when he got to school, he just sat in the classroom. Because he had already mastered all the theoretical knowledge taught by the teachers.
