Chapter 56
To be honest.
If it weren't for the memory left by the previous life.
I'm afraid that even if He Daqing was beaten to death, he would not have guessed that there was such a secret behind the series of performances of the three uncles in the courtyard.
It is true that everything has a reason, and we can't just look at the appearance.
Look at what those people in the courtyard have forced the three uncles into.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai became a filial son and grandson. Not only did he have a mother on his head, but he also developed geronophobia.
Uncle Liu Haizhong became a family tyrant. He beat the children for no reason, and scared the children in the courtyard. Uncle
Yan Fugui, the third uncle, was a good people's teacher, but in the end he lost his moral integrity and became Yan Suanji. He calculated with his mouth open and closed, and he wanted to taste the saltiness when a manure truck passed by the door.
How long have these three guys been the stewards of the courtyard? How distorted are their three views and nature?
I can only say that the group of people in the courtyard are really awesome.
When Sha Zhu heard what He Daqing said, he was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react. He murmured,"I said, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are only a few years old. If the second uncle really wants to beat the children, he will beat them to death."
Thinking of the second uncle Liu Haizhong's arms that are thicker than his thighs, he really wants to slap Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.
That scene is simply unimaginable.
After all, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are only six years old and four years old at this time, and they haven't even started elementary school.
No matter how cruel Liu Haizhong is, he can't fight with two little guys.
He Daqing couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this and said,"Maybe!"
Maybe at the beginning, Liu Haizhong just slapped the table to scare the children. As long as the children cried, the borrowers would be embarrassed to stay longer.
But human nature is very complicated and can't stand the test of"one, six, seven".
As long as Liu Haizhong really hits the child once, who can guarantee that there won't be a second time, and then a third time, a fourth time... and eventually it becomes a habit, and he really starts beating the child for fun whenever he has the chance?
"What about the third uncle's family?" Sha Zhu didn't know if he understood what He Daqing meant, and asked curiously,"Is the third uncle's family rich or poor?"
Hearing this question.
He Daqing glanced at his silly son, and then said,"Son, let me tell you this, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially before the Republic of China, those who had received education were not poor. At most, their families fell into decline."
"Your third uncle, Yan Fugui, has been a teacher in this city for more than ten years. His family may have fallen into poverty, but if you say that your third uncle's family is poor, that would be a bit disrespectful."
"Think about your father. At that time, our family owned a restaurant, but he only went to primary school, while your uncle Yan Fugui went to high school, otherwise he would not have become a teacher."
"Do you think your third uncle came from a poor family?"
"Tsk tsk, if it were now, he would either be a landlord or a small property owner. He is not poor, at most his family has fallen on hard times."
He Daqing said with a sigh.
The Republic of China period was different from the period after liberation.
In the Republic of China period, there was no poor family that could send their children to school. Not 100% of them were rich, but at least 99% were.
The remaining 1% were super rich.
Yan Fugui could be a primary school teacher in the Republic of China period, so his education must not be bad, at least he had attended high school.
After all, this is the old city.
Nanluo Primary School, the predecessor of Red Star Primary School, is the only primary school in Nanluoguxiang. No matter how low the education of the teachers there is, it is impossible to find a primary school graduate or a junior high school graduate to be a teacher.
In fact, let alone being a teacher in Red Star Primary School, even if you want to go in and be a kitchen helper, you need to find someone through connections.
Yan Fugui was able to go to high school in the Republic of China and be a teacher in Nanluo Primary School after graduation.
You say he was born in a poor family?
How is that possible.
After He Daqing finished speaking, he looked at the stunned Sha Zhu and couldn't help but sneered.
"Oh, to be frank, compared with the countryside, no family in our courtyard can be considered poor."
"The truly poor are those who don’t have a single change of clothes, can’t even afford cornmeal, their children can’t go to school, their adults don’t have jobs, they go hungry seven days a week, and they don’t have enough to eat all year round."
"For example, in our courtyard, everyone has a stable job and their children can go to school. They may not be able to afford white flour buns every day, but corn flour is definitely fine. Occasionally, they can buy half a pound of meat to supplement their diet. Can this situation be considered poor?"
What is poverty?
The poverty of this era is not just talk, but the kind that really starves people to death.
Like the families in the courtyard, in this era, no family can be considered poor. Any family is more than ten times happier than the vast rural families.
If it is really like the Jia family in the TV series, if they don't eat meat for two days, their stomachs will be empty. If this matter is spread out, it would be strange if they are not scolded to death.
Only a fool like Sha Zhu who covets the body of a widow would believe this nonsense.
No, Sha Zhu, a fool, may not believe it either. He is just simply coveting the body of a widow and pretending to believe it.
The key is that this guy has the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief, even worse than the licking dogs in later generations.
He has such a cheap stupid son.
He Daqing is helpless.
"So, don’t think that other people’s families are poor. In fact, it’s not that they are poor, but that they know how to be low-key and understand the principle of not showing off your wealth."
"Unlike you, a fool, you show off your wealth as if you are afraid that others don't know."
"You have a pig brain, don't you think about what the situation is outside now?"
"Are you afraid that someone will secretly report you and say there is something wrong with your family background?"
"If something goes wrong, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, your father, me and your sister will be killed by you."
"You're a brainless bastard.……"
He Daqing became more and more angry as he spoke, and he pointed at Sha Zhu's head and started to curse.
Damn it.
If you want to show off your wealth, you have to choose the right time.
Nowadays, the really rich people want to eat coarse food and pretend to be three generations of poor farmers, so as not to be noticed by the higher-ups.
Sha Zhu, on the other hand, is still shouting everywhere, fearing that others don't know that his family has another house on the Zhengyang Gate side.
Isn't this cheating his father?
What if someone maliciously reports it and causes an investigation from above? Not to mention the three members of the He family, I'm afraid his cheap second uncle Guan Shan will also be implicated. He
Daqing was so angry.
He wanted to ignore He Yuzhu, but he had to ignore it.
Because even if he cared about He Yuzhu and looked down on He Yuzhu, he couldn't break off his relationship with He Yuzhu.
If there was really a problem with He Yuzhu, people would not care whether He Daqing had cut off contact with He Yuzhu, they would find you directly.
Even if He Yuzhu was cheated and put behind bars, He Yushui and He Daqing's future children would not be able to pass the political review if they wanted to go to college, join a unit, join the army, find a job, etc. It is not the case that if He Yuzhu had a problem, He Daqing's family would not be implicated. As the saying goes
: one person in jail affects three generations.
The political review of three generations refers to the relatives within three generations of a person's direct line, including parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, and aunts and uncles.
So even for He Yushui and his future children, He Daqing can't ignore He Yuzhu.
You are like Jia Dongxu.
Because of Jia Zhang's mother.
It is estimated that he will never become a formal worker in the steel mill in this life. The leaders of the steel mill did not expel him directly, which was already a face for Yi Zhonghai, a senior worker.
Think about it, his family has offended the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai.
Before Qin Huairu came to the door, He Daqing was really not at ease letting Shazhu live alone in the courtyard.
But Sha Zhu didn't think it was a big deal.
Hearing He Daqing's scolding, he couldn't help but mutter,"I didn't think so much. When others asked, I just said it casually."
"Just a casual remark? ?"(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!) When
He Daqing heard this, his anger, which had been subsiding, suddenly rose again, and he sneered,"Just a casual remark? Do you know that your casual remark might just kill off my He family of three?"
The kid who shouted"My dad is X Gang" at the beginning was also saying it casually.
What was the result?
His dad was directly put in jail.
The situation now is much more serious than in the future. If He Yuzhu's casual remark is really used by someone with ulterior motives, their family of three will probably be sent to labor reform.
It's not that He Daqing is a coward, but the current 49-year-old city, the Three Antis and the Five Antis have just ended, the situation is still serious, and we must be careful in what we say and do. Even if we really have to wait for the future atmosphere to start to escalate, just based on He Yuzhu's words, their family can be directly dragged out for criticism and struggle, and sent to labor reform. This matter is a matter of one thousand,...

"When the bun shop opens, you can come and help after get off work every day."
"Try to go back to the courtyard as little as possible and have less contact with the people in the courtyard. If someone really asks about the situation here, don't say anything and don't make a fuss like before."
He Daqing was really tired of his cheap and stupid son.
Who would have thought that when Sha Zhu heard He Daqing's arrangement, he shook his head like a rattle and refused,"No, I have to cook for others after work, and I have to save money to marry Sister Huairu and buy new clothes for her."
Hearing this,
He Daqing was so angry that his heart ached. He said helplessly:"I'll give you ten yuan a month, okay?" The current Sha Zhu is not the Sha Zhu ten years later. His craftsmanship is only average, so he can get very few banquet jobs and the price is low.
Giving him ten yuan a month can almost make up for his losses from the banquets.
Of course, He Daqing is not at a loss either. After all, making bread and buns is not an easy job. He Daqing can completely give this job to Sha Zhu and be a hands-off boss himself.
In fact.
If it weren't for the fact that Sha Zhu's biggest opportunity is still at the steel mill.
He would have considered asking Sha Zhu to come and help.
But thinking that Sha Zhu can get in touch with the big boss at the steel mill, He Daqing can only give up this idea.
"Ten yuan!"
Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said with a flattering face:"Dad, how about you add a little more? After all, my skills are enough to make me a chef in a steel rolling mill. Ten yuan a month, isn't it a bit low?"
He said so.
But he was calculating in his mind.
He could earn twenty-seven and a half yuan a month at the steel mill, plus the ten yuan from his father He Daqing, that's thirty-seven and a half yuan, which is almost equivalent to an eighth-level cook.
In addition, if he lives in the bun shop, he won't have to spend money on food and lodging.
In this way, if he lives frugally, he can save about thirty yuan a month.
Even if he goes to see his wife in the middle and buys her some clothes and delicious food, he can still save twenty yuan. When he gets married in two years, he can save more than two hundred yuan, which is enough for the bride price and a sewing machine.
Of course, it would be even better if he could get his father to give him a raise.
But who is He Daqing?
He only took a look at Sha Zhu and knew what this kid was thinking. He said disdainfully,"What a master chef at the steel mill. He's just a tenth-level cook. If he really works in a big restaurant, he's just a kitchen helper. What's there to brag about?"
"However, if you want a raise, that's fine."
He Daqing paused for a moment, then continued,"We cooks don't have fancy things. If you want a raise, you have to use your cooking skills to make it count."
"How about this, as long as you can improve your rating as a cook in the steel mill, I will also raise your salary, and you will get a raise of five yuan for each level up, how about that?"
Sha Zhu thought about it seriously after hearing this request.
He felt that with his current skills, he would definitely be able to get a level up when the steel mill conducts the grading assessment at the end of the year.
In this way, his salary at the steel mill would be thirty-one yuan, plus the five yuan from He Daqing...
Don't say anything, just do it!
"No problem, just wait and see, I will definitely become a level 9 cook in the factory after the end-of-year assessment."
Sha Zhu said confidently.
In fact, if the assessment of the steel mill is not about big pot dishes, but small stir-fry, with his level, let alone level 9 cook, even level 8 cook, or even level 7 cook, it would be no problem.
"OK, that's settled for now."
"I'd go learn how to ride a 4.3 bike. After all, this place is far from the steel mill, and it's really inconvenient without a bike."
"Besides, the steel mill passes by the affiliated primary school, so when you go to and from work in the future, take Yu Shui with you to save her the trouble of walking to and from school."
He Daqing said with a smile, and directly handed the task of picking up and dropping off little Yu Shui to school to Sha Zhu.
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu opened his mouth and wanted to say that the affiliated primary school and the steel mill were not on the same route, and he had to take a detour.
However, facing the smiling eyes of his father, the rejection words that were originally on the tip of his throat turned into,"Okay, no problem, after all, I am the elder brother, I must take Yu Shui to and from school"
"Well, it's the best that you can think so!"
He Daqing nodded with a look of satisfaction, and then instructed:"It's getting late, you go and heat up the steamed buns from yesterday, I'll go and fry two dishes, and you can go back after dinner, and when the bun shop in front is ready in two days, you can move in."
It's not that He Daqing doesn't want to let Sha Zhu live here.
It's that of the five rooms in the backyard, one is the kitchen, one has become a utility room, and the other three main rooms, except for a living room, the remaining two have been divided by He Daqing and He Yushui, so there is no room for Sha Zhu to live.
So let's wait until the second floor of the bun shop is finished before letting Sha Zhu move in.
Anyway, he didn't want to live on the second floor without an independent bathroom.
Because He Daqing really couldn't get used to using urinals and shit pots, and always felt particularly ashamed.
Sha Zhu didn't care and said:"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit!" New book , please collect, please give flowers, please vote for evaluation, please subscribe, I hope everyone will support me."
