The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

Chapter 43 Popularization of fertility knowledge on the street

He Yuzhu would never know that his request to Xu Damao would have such a big impact. Before he even started, Xu Damao had already used a better method to set a trap for Yi Zhonghai.

Riding a bicycle, He Yuzhu came to the steel mill and started to do his own things in the kitchen.

At noon, Qin Huairu came to the third canteen to eat.

He Yuzhu still didn't serve food at the window

He Yuzhu believes that different divisions of labor should be carried out by each person.

If I do all the work of serving the dishes, then what do the kitchen helpers do?

Qin Huairu was unwilling to give up, and wanted to go to the kitchen to find Sha Zhu after dinner.

"Stop! The kitchen is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter!" The speaker was Ma Hua.

How could a young man like Ma Hua be a match for Qin Huairu, a blooming white lotus? She went into the kitchen without saying a word.

After Qin Huairu went in, Ma Hua realized and regretted it.

"Zhuzi, Zhuzi", He Yuzhu, who was taking a nap after dinner, felt that he was hallucinating. Why did he hear the voice of the widow Qin? Was he having an erotic dream? But why did he have to dream about the widow Qin? ? ? Could it be that he had seen her too many times? He was so angry!

He Yuzhu opened his eyes and saw Qin Huairu's pretty face, which was only 30 centimeters away from him. He could even smell the fragrance of milk.

He Yuzhu was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair. He quickly stood up and said,

"Master Qin, why are you in the kitchen? Ma Hua! Ma Hua! What did you do?" He Yuzhu shouted at the door.

Ma Hua ran in with a frightened look on his face. Before he could say anything, he heard Qin Huairu say, "Zhu Zi, don't blame him, it's all Sister Qin's fault. I knew you worked in the cafeteria, so I thought of coming to say hello to you. But, I didn't see you during dinner, so I thought of coming to the kitchen to see if you were there." As she spoke, Qin Huairu showed an aggrieved expression on her face, as if she was a wronged young wife.

He Yuzhu was frightened when he saw this, so he hurried to explain. If he didn't explain, the rumor that he and the widow had an unusual relationship would spread throughout the steel mill within a day.

Didn’t you see Liu Lan’s curious and gossipy eyes looking at you?

So, he said with a cold face, "Master Qin! I have said it before, you are not my sister. In the courtyard, we are just ordinary neighbors, and I call you Jia's sister-in-law; in the factory, we are just workers, and I call you Master Qin! From now on, don't let me hear you call yourself my sister Qin, otherwise, although the spoons in this cafeteria will not shake anymore, I guess no one will say anything if they shake occasionally!"

Qin Huairu was also embarrassed when she heard this. She came here today just to make it seem like she had an unusual relationship with the chef of the third canteen. Moreover, she also wanted to use this incident to create rumors about her and him, thereby ruining his reputation.

"Zhu Zi, sister-in-law just wanted to say hello to you. Well, I've finished eating and need to rest for a while. I'll leave first." After saying that, Qin Huairu left the kitchen.

As for Liu Lan, at first, she thought there was something going on between the two of them, but after hearing what He Yuzhu said, she knew that this pretty widow seemed to have some other plans, and He Yuzhu was trying her best to avoid

"Ma Hua! Come here!" He Yuzhu stared at Ma Hua fiercely.

Ma Hua came over timidly, "Master..."

Before Ma Hua could finish his words, He Yuzhu kicked him on the butt. "What did I say? No one other than you is allowed to enter the kitchen! From now on, if it happens again, you will be responsible for cleaning the kitchen for a week!"

"I know," Ma Hua replied aggrievedly, but he also hated Qin Huairu to death.

After get off work in the afternoon, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were on their way back to the courtyard. Qin Huairu said, "Uncle, I went to the kitchen to look for Zhuzi at noon today, but he always kept me at a distance. I felt that we were neighbors, and our two homes were next door to each other, so I wanted to say hello. However, not only did he not appreciate it, he even threatened me by saying he would shake the spoon at me." As she spoke, tears began to burst out, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu deeply after hearing this, and then said, "I don't know what happened to Zhuzi in the past two months. Since Dongxu left, he has become a different person. He is very distant to your family and no longer respects me as much as before.

Moreover, he is very good at talking now. When he is confronting people, he has a lot of tricks. To ease the relationship with Zhuzi, you have to do it step by step. If you build a good relationship with Zhuzi, your family will have a much better life." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai stopped talking and went back to the courtyard with Qin Huairu one after the other.

At the Jia family, today's dinner is still steamed bread, cornmeal porridge, and boiled cabbage. When Jia Zhang saw this, she slammed her chopsticks on the table, "How can we eat this bland soup? Can't you bring back some meat?"

Qin Huairu said calmly, "Then you take the money and I'll go buy it."

"Money? What money? That's my retirement money. You have a job now, don't even think about taking my money!" Jia Zhang retorted nervously.

"If you don't take the money, I only have these to eat. It costs 275 a month to feed five people. If I eat meat every day, it will be all spent in less than half a month, and I will starve to death in the remaining half of the month."

"Then I don't care. If you take over our Jia family's work position, you have to be responsible for food and drink!"

"Mom, Dongxu is gone. I won't remarry. But I only have this little salary. What can I do?"

"Then why don't you ask or borrow from others? Yes, go and borrow money or meat from Sha Zhu!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was getting more and more outrageous, Qin Huairu didn't want to say this in front of the children, so she pulled Jia Zhang into the kitchen and said, "Mom, you asked me to find Sha Zhu, why did he lend me money and give me meat? Tell me!"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's cold eyes and felt a little scared. She also knew that she was being unreasonable. She couldn't ask her to sell her ass, so she could only give in and say, "Let's go eat."

At 8:30 on Wednesday morning, people from the street and the Women's Federation had already gathered at the street. Director Wang and Sister Ma said that they would conduct a reproductive knowledge popularization campaign in the street in the next month. The street staff were fine, as some of them were educated, but the old ladies from the Women's Federation started to discuss in a low voice.

"What's there to learn about this? It's just about the crotch."

"Yeah, hehehe."

……

Seeing that her soldiers were so disrespectful, Sister Ma slammed the table and said, "Listen carefully! The following content is the mission, which is to overthrow the mountain that has been weighing on our women comrades for thousands of years! Today's matter is also an important task to further rescue the suffering women comrades!"

The comrades of the Women's Federation, seeing Sister Ma slam the table, immediately became obedient like quails.

At half past nine, the doctors arranged by the hospital arrived. There were four of them in total, two doctors and two nurses. One of the doctors was Director Wu, and the two nurses were both head nurses. Director Wang and Sister Ma led everyone to express their welcome.

The meeting will start at ten o'clock sharp

Director Wu was also very excited when he looked at the more than 100 people below. After all, it was his first time to appear in such an occasion.

"Comrades from the street and the Women's Federation, the theme of today's meeting is to popularize knowledge about fertility.

Some people think that there is nothing to popularize about this, and they will naturally understand it when they get older.

But this is not the topic of today. Today we have two topics: one is who is responsible for not being able to have a child, and the other is who is responsible for whether a child is a boy or a girl.

After hearing this topic, the following discussion started

"If she can't have a baby, there must be something wrong with her."

"It is definitely the woman's responsibility to have children."

……

After watching everyone discuss for a while, Director Wu clapped his hands and interrupted, "Comrades, giving birth requires cooperation from both men and women. Everyone knows this, but everyone only knows one side of the story. I won't say much about the first side."

Hehe laugh below

"The second is the birth of life, which requires men to provide sperm and women to provide eggs. It's like farming. Men provide seeds and women provide land. Everyone says, if you are given a piece of land, can you grow food? In the same way, if you are only provided with seeds but not land, where will you grow crops?"

After hearing this, everyone will understand a little bit.

"So, whether you can have a baby depends on the quality of the seeds and the quality of the soil. If the seeds don't germinate, you can't just say the soil is bad. It's also possible that the seeds are bad. Comrades, don't you agree?"

The aunties and sisters from the Women's Federation immediately agreed, "Right! If you can't have children, it's probably because the men's sperm is not good. Why are you blaming us women alone?"

Director Wu continued, "I just said that men are seeds and women are the land. So, what crops grow in the land? Do you think it is determined by the seeds or the land? If you provide wheat seeds but blame the land for not growing rice for you, comrades, do you think this person is sick?"

The more than 100 people were amused by Director Wu's vivid and interesting metaphors, and at the same time they understood the truth behind them.

After an hour of popular science, the comrades from the street and the Women's Federation all understood these contents which are common sense for future generations. Finally, Director Wu left some time for everyone to ask questions.

The street science training went smoothly. In the afternoon, Director Wu, Director Wang and Sister Ma discussed how to arrange people and what materials needed to be prepared.

Next, all that’s left is for the street to go into the courtyard to carry out publicity on Sunday…

Chapter 44: Widow Qin's plan for He Yushui

The courtyard was very peaceful for the next two days. Although Qin Huairu still looked for opportunities to get close to He Yuzhu from time to time, He Yuzhu always kept his distance from her.

Therefore, Qin Huairu's plan has not been going smoothly. But after Qin Huairu's efforts in the past few days, she has been doing well in the workshop.

The work assigned to her was done by the male workers in the workshop as long as she acted a little coquettishly. So after a week, she didn't feel tired at all.

She even recalled that Jia Dongxu was pretending to be so tired that he didn't want to move when he got home.

On Friday afternoon, He Yuzhu bought two taels of pork and carried it back to the courtyard.

Although he has the space, if he eats it without buying it, isn’t he afraid of being reported?

So, he would buy it openly, let everyone see it, and then go home and do it behind closed doors.

The neighbors only smelled the meat, but they didn't know what kind of meat was cooked or how much meat was cooked.

Today He Yushui came back, He Yuzhu prepared to make her some fish-flavored pork shreds to satisfy her craving

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, the washerwoman Qin Guafu was washing clothes there again. When she saw He Yuzhu coming back, she smiled and went to greet him, but He Yuzhu just said hello to her indifferently and went home.

Qin Huairu didn't feel embarrassed. She felt that as time went on, He Yuzhu would fall in love with her sooner or later.

If He Yuzhu knew what she was thinking, he would probably laugh at her for being so naive.

He went home and steamed some rice, then started cooking. The aroma of shredded pork with fish sauce first drifted into the east and west wing rooms in the middle courtyard.

At the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai stared at her but didn't say anything. The eldest lady said, "This Zhu is really good to Yu Shui. Every time Yu Shui comes home on weekends, Zhu always makes something delicious for her."

Jia family, great

"Grandma, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang also smelled the aroma of meat, but after being beaten twice, she learned her lesson. In addition, Qin Huairu asked for meat several times, but was rejected by Sha Zhu. So she gave up the idea of ​​begging.

But she would not let Sha Zhu off. She first cursed and muttered for a long time, then appeased Bang Geng, and then yelled at Qin Huairu outside the door, "Qin Huairu, why don't you come back to cook? Do you want to starve the four of us to death?"

"Mom, I have just finished washing a pair of pants, I'll be right there," Qin Huairu shouted. In fact, Qin Huairu was waiting for someone, and that person was He Yushui.

A few minutes later, a bicycle bell rang. Qin Huairu looked up and found that it was indeed He Yushui who came back. Seeing He Yushui enter the middle courtyard, she wiped her hands and went to meet him.

"Yushui, are you back for the weekend?" Qin Huairu's smile is full of the warmth of a big sister next door.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, please do the laundry. It's the weekend, so I'll be back soon." He Yushui now listens to He Yuzhu and keeps a distance from the Jia family.

"Yushui, your brother is so nice to you. Smell it, your brother has made delicious food for you again," Qin Huairu said with a smile

He Yushui smelled the fragrance, which seemed to be the smell of shredded pork with fish flavor, and said happily, "Of course my brother is good to me!"

Hearing He Yushui say this, Qin Huairu was secretly annoyed, but still said, "Alas, our family conditions are not good. We eat either cabbage, radish and potato every day. Banggeng is thin now. As for me, I don't have enough nutrition and my milk is a little insufficient. The most pitiful one is my poor Sophora japonica". Her eyes turned red as she said this, and then she said, "Hey, why am I telling you this? You should go home soon. I think your brother has already prepared the meal. I have to go home to cook too."

After all, He Yushui was only 15 years old. After hearing what Qin Huairu said, she was at a loss. Looking at her red eyes, she felt very uncomfortable.

Qin Huairu was very proud of He Yushui's reaction. At this time, He Yuzhu's voice came from the He family, "Yushui, you're back now, why don't you wash your hands and eat? If you don't eat, I'll eat it all!"

When He Yushui heard what her brother said, she immediately threw away her sympathy and said, "Sister-in-law Jia, please go home and cook. I want to go home to eat, too. My brother has called me brother! Wait for me for a while!"

Qin Huairu:......

She thought, shouldn't you sympathize with me and then say you'll send it to me later? But looking at He Yushui's back as she left, she could only sigh in regret.

"Yushui, what did Widow Qin say to you just now?"
