Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

In fact, He Yuzhu had something else in his mind that he hadn't said out loud.

After marrying Liang Lati, he has had two children of his own with her. Together with Liang Lati's four children, he has a total of six children.

Although Damao and Ermao are already adults and no longer need the couple's care, there are still four children to raise at home.

He Yuzhu's monthly income is only more than 40 yuan, while Liang Lazhi is a level 5 welder in the steel rolling mill, with a monthly income of more than 60 yuan, making him the main income earner in the family.

This is very embarrassing for He Yuzhu, who is very concerned about his reputation.

As a grown man, how can I put all the responsibility of supporting the family on my wife?

He Yuzhu finally got a good opportunity to make more money, so he must seize it no matter what.

Looking at He Yuzhu who was looking forward to it, Liang Lazhi, as his partner, could see at a glance the little thoughts in his mind.

I answered very straightforwardly: "I also think you should give it a try..."

He Yuzhu's face lit up with joy, and he immediately replied, "Thank you, my wife..."

"What about the Siheyuan that Dongzi mentioned to me?"

"He said that the population of the city will definitely increase in the future, housing will become increasingly scarce, and siheyuans will become increasingly rare."

"If you have money, you can buy a courtyard house now while someone is selling it. It will definitely appreciate in value and make money in the future."

Liang Layi did not directly express her thoughts as before. Instead, she met He Yuzhu's expectant gaze and asked again, "What do you think?"

"I believe Dongzi..." When it comes to this question, He Yuzhu's face suddenly becomes very serious.

After that, fearing that Liang Layi would not believe him, he immediately explained: "Although I did a lot of stupid things in the past, I often opposed Dongzi and plotted against him."

"But it is because of these things that I know how powerful Dongzi is."

"He said that if Siheyuan can make money in the future, then it will definitely make money."

Liang Layi followed up: "Among all the neighbors in our courtyard, the one I admire most is Wang Dong from the front yard..."

"I believe him too..."

"But my family may not have that much savings."

"Although Da Mao and Er Mao give some money to the family every month, we have four children after all, and they need money for food, drink, defecation and urination."

"We only saved 50 or 60 yuan every month. If I remember correctly, we have saved less than 8,000 yuan in total over the past ten years."

He Yuzhu had obviously discussed the price of the courtyard house with Wang Dong, and immediately replied: "That's enough, wife..."

"Although this amount of money cannot buy a large courtyard house with three entrances, it is definitely enough to buy a courtyard house with two entrances."

"Although the house in the courtyard is a little run-down, we don't have to move in right away. At worst, we can slowly earn money and repair it later."

"When I start working at Dongzi Hotel, my annual salary will be enough for us to renovate the courtyard house, and then we will have no shortage of houses."

…………

Two months passed in a flash, and everyone in the courtyard gradually learned that Wang Dong was going to open a big restaurant outside.

Some people think that Wang Dong is too stupid. He gave up his good cadre status to become a vendor, which is like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Some people are optimistic about Wang Dong's choice.

There are now many vendors in the streets and alleys, and even shops with business licenses issued by the state. There are two young people setting up stalls on the street in Siheyuan. Although their income is not as much as that of regular workers in the steel rolling mill, it is not much different.

If the restaurant Wang Dong opened was big enough, he might be able to make a lot of money.

After all, opening a restaurant is different from being a peddler outside. Just as the discussion about Wang Dong opening a restaurant in Sijiu City was getting more and more heated, the news that Tang Dashan and his wife in the front yard, He Yuzhu in the back yard, and Ermao in the middle yard were planning to sell their workstations in the steel mill quickly detonated the Siheyuan, directly suppressing the discussion about Wang Dong opening a restaurant in Sijiu City.

Because no matter how Wang Dong runs a restaurant, it is his own business and has nothing to do with other people in Siheyuan.

But it was different when Tang Dashan and He Yuzhu sold their work positions in the steel rolling mill.

That's a regular worker's job in a steel rolling mill.

If you buy it, you can enter a steel rolling mill as an apprentice, and after two years you can become a full-time employee.

Unlike those apprentice positions outside, it is very likely that you will be fired from the steel mill during your apprenticeship.

Once they have bought a formal work station, the steel mill cannot easily fire them even during their apprenticeship period.

Moreover, as long as you do not violate discipline during your apprenticeship, you will be converted to a full-time employee after two years.

So the courtyard suddenly became lively.

If someone in the family or a relative was looking for a job, the door of several families would be almost broken down by the visitors.

Those who want to use connections use connections, and those who want to use personal connections use personal relationships, all want to buy the four positions.

In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, Kuihua also set her eyes on these workstations.

After Xiaodang married Guo Piezi, she cut off all contact with the Jia family, and Kuihua had to look for a job outside every day.

After several months, there was no result.

When I heard someone was selling workstations in Siheyuan, I immediately found Qin Huairu...

"Mom... please lend me 500 yuan. I must buy a workstation in Siheyuan." Kuihua said anxiously.

"When I get a job at the steel mill in the future, I will pay you ten yuan a month during my apprenticeship, and fifteen yuan a month after I become a regular employee. The total payment will be six hundred yuan in four years. The extra one hundred yuan will be regarded as the interest on the five hundred yuan I lent you."

Qin Huairu was moved after hearing this.

Compared to the scheming Xiaodang, Kuihua is much more honest and steady, and Qin Huairu still believes what she says.

Qin Huairu was even more tempted because Xiaodang promised her a hundred yuan in interest.

Before she could nod, Jia Zhang at the side spoke first: "Guihua..."

"You don't need to ask your mother for this matter. Grandma has money here."

"As long as you agree to pay grandma 100 yuan interest, grandma will lend you 500 yuan now..."

Jia Zhang is now also worried about her retirement.

In order to keep Banggeng's job at the steel mill in the past few months, she had to take out two hundred yuan from her pension fund at once, which made her so distressed that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

When Jia Zhang suddenly heard about a good opportunity to make money, she was determined to grab it.

Little did she know that as soon as she opened her mouth, Bang Geng and Qin Huairu showed expressions of shock, anger and dissatisfaction on their faces.

Especially Bang Geng, his eyes turned red at that moment.

He worked very hard in the steel mill, but could only earn 18 yuan a month, and up to now he had saved less than 100 yuan for his own use.

Jia Zhang stayed at home every day and did nothing, but she managed to save no less than 500 yuan for her retirement.

More importantly, last time, in order to keep her job at the steel mill, she cried and said she had no money, but now she offered 500 yuan at once. It was hard for Banggeng not to be angry. (End of this chapter)
