Chapter 57 Guo Da Piezi's Grudges
Qin Huairu went back to her parents' home before the Lunar New Year, and she was the same as always.
Jia Dongxu pretended not to know because he had no money and didn't want to lose face.
Jia Zhangshi would definitely not use her own money, let alone after Qin Huairu left, she would have to take care of the family's food and drink.
If Qin Huairu hadn't said she was going back to bring some grain, Jia Zhangshi would never have agreed to let her go back to her parents' home.
Madam Jia has already fallen out with Jia Dongxu's relatives, and now she wishes she could sever all ties with the Jia family.
I always feel that my relatives in the countryside are trying to take advantage of me, so naturally I don't want to have much contact with them.
Qin Huairu already knew this, and she hadn't expected to gain anything from the Jia family. However, since she was Jia Dongxu's wife, she had to mention it when she went out.
Qin Huairu now enjoys going back to her parents' home. Life in the Jia family is too stifling. If she can't go back and show off a bit to relax, she'll feel even worse.
Qin Huairu walked to the bus stop alone, where the man was already waiting and handed her a large bag.
The bag usually contains five pounds of pork belly, one pound of milk candy, three pounds of pastries, and sometimes two extra grilled fish.
Qin Huairu and the man didn't talk much. After exchanging a few words, Qin Huairu got into the car and left.
When the car arrives in Changping, Qin Huairu gets off and walks to the intersection, where she will see her older brother waiting for her in a donkey cart.
Even though they weren't sure what time it was, her eldest brother or second brother was willing to wait for her here in the cold wind for hours.
This isn't just the eldest or second eldest brother showing affection for their sister; it's Qin Huairu genuinely using money to pave a comfortable path for her.
Every time she came back, Qin Huairu would leave her parents 100,000 yuan.
When I come back for the Chinese New Year, I will give each of my eldest and second eldest brothers' children 20,000 yuan.
With money paving the way, Qin Huairu gained influence in the Qin family. It's no wonder that scenes of brotherly affection and respect appeared.
Qin Huairu quickened her pace, took the bag, and put it in the car.
"Hey girl, you've had a long day, get in the car now."
"Hey, bro, were you getting impatient?"
"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes, I'm not afraid."
Qin Huairu sat on the donkey cart, and her elder brother cracked the whip, and the donkey cart quickly headed towards Qin Family Village.
On the way, the two would also talk to each other about what had happened at home recently.
When I got home, the children from my eldest and second eldest brothers' families would rush over, calling out "Auntie, Auntie!" incessantly.
Qin Huairu happily took out two milk candies and gave them to her nephews and nieces.
The children were even more enthusiastic now, because they don't usually get to eat milk candy. They only get to eat it when their aunt comes back.
Then Qin Huairu's two sisters-in-law would come up and tell her to hurry back to her room and rest.
Qin Huairu greeted her parents first, then handed them the things she had brought back.
The elderly couple has now gotten used to their eldest daughter bringing things when she comes back, which shows that she is doing well.
I've never seen other daughters come back to their parents' home asking for things, but their eldest daughter always brings back a lot of nice things.
Many people in the village now envy the Qin family's daughter for being so lucky.
The two elders smiled as they accepted the items and then handed them to their eldest daughter-in-law.
The eldest daughter-in-law could tell from the weight of the bag that it contained the same size as before.
At this moment, their smiles grew even warmer. Qin Huairu didn't need to do any chores at her parents' home. Everyone was happy to gather around her and listen to her tell them how wonderful it was to live in the city.
It seems that from the first time she brought gifts and money, she became a VIP guest in our home.
Even if she comes back three or four times a year, and it might cost her three or four hundred thousand yuan of her savings, she would do it willingly.
Since she already has a secure future, spending three or four hundred thousand a year is nothing to her.
This is the saying that poverty breeds cunning and wealth breeds conscience. Qin Huairu is no longer a bloodsucker. Now that He Yuzhu is backing her up, she naturally doesn't need to do such things.
Qin Huairu dared not flaunt her wealth in the courtyard house, but when she occasionally went out to show off on the street, it felt like she was wearing fine clothes in the dark.
After all, the people on the street didn't know who she was, so no matter how well she dressed, they couldn't compliment her.
Besides, there are too many wealthy people in Beijing. If you're comparing yourself to those below you, it's hard to say. But if you're comparing yourself to those above you, the levels are much higher.
Therefore, Qin Huairu now particularly enjoys returning to her parents' home; for her, wealth and status without returning home is like wearing fine clothes in the dark. She likes having everyone flatter her, as this makes her feel that her efforts to marry into the city were worthwhile.
Otherwise, wouldn't her marriage into the city have been for nothing?
Just to experience this feeling, Qin Huairu is willing to come back several times a year.
This is the face her man gives her; she comes back to her parents' home once every few months to enjoy everyone's flattery and fawning.
Going back, facing the Jia family's humiliation wouldn't be so unbearable.
Qin Huairu always stays at her parents' home for two days each time she visits; any longer is not allowed.
Jia Zhangshi, that old pious woman, was completely unwilling to do housework.
If she returned late, Jia Zhangshi would get angry, and sometimes Qin Huairu wished the old woman would die immediately.
However, the other person is living a much more comfortable life than her, and now weighs over 180 pounds.
If Qin Huairu hadn't brought back some grain every time she went back, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't have allowed her to return to her parents' home.
Qin Huairu has become smarter; she brings some grain with her every time she goes back, so the village is no longer short of food.
She spent over 100,000 yuan to bring back ten kilograms of grain, and her parents felt they had made a good deal.
Jia Dongxu has had a very difficult year, dropping from a junior worker to an apprentice, becoming the first person to do so.
Especially since he has a master craftsman at the sixth level behind him, and he is also the other party's only apprentice.
Jia Dongxu, an apprentice in Workshop One, was quite famous among the thousands of workers in the steel rolling mill. He was far more famous than the master craftsmen.
However, this reputation didn't sound very good, and Jia Dongxu didn't want it to be like this. In order to change the current awkward situation as soon as possible, Jia Dongxu was practicing his skills in private, waiting for the next grading exam to prove himself.
The main problem is that he now has a low status at home. Although Qin Huairu has never complained about him, she often refuses to cooperate at night, which annoys Jia Dongxu.
However, Jia Zhangshi in the family did not treat Qin Huairu well, and the family gave Qin Huairu 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses.
Qin Huairu ate very little every day, and Jia Dongxu naturally noticed all of this. If it weren't for Qin Huairu's ability, the family would have been starving long ago.
Jia Dongxu is already thinking about the next grading exam to redeem himself. He believes that a higher salary will lead to a higher status in the family.
While his apprentice was doing this, Yi Zhonghai, the master, was also secretly working hard. He had boasted last time that he would become an eighth-grade worker, but who knew he only managed to get a sixth-grade worker certificate.
If Yi Zhonghai hadn't boasted beforehand, a Level 6 worker wouldn't have been out of the question.
The strange thing is that Yi Zhonghai was too confident in front of everyone, putting himself in a precarious position.
The grading test was in May of 54, and Yi Zhonghai was looking forward to this opportunity to redeem himself.
Besides practicing my skills, I try my best to improve them.
Yi Zhonghai also takes time to tutor his apprentice Jia Dongxu. Even now that he has a daughter, he hasn't completely given up on Jia Dongxu, who is his caregiver.
Yi Zhonghai, who always likes to keep something in reserve, wants to do as much as possible when it comes to retirement planning.
Sha Zhu, the backup plan for elder care, has now flown away, never to return. No matter how much he schemes, it seems they are growing increasingly estranged.
Yi Zhonghai then focused his attention on Jia Dongxu and his daughter.
If my daughter marries a son-in-law who is not filial in the future, I can ask Jia Dongxu to supervise him.
In this way, they can supervise and check each other to ensure their safety and happiness in their old age.
When Yi Zhonghai was teaching Jia Dongxu, he discovered that Jia Dongxu's technique was indeed somewhat unreliable.
He wasn't very good at handling the workpieces that level one workers made, but Jia Dongxu could easily make the simple ones.
Complex workpieces are poorly made, and sometimes advanced techniques are used.
Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat embarrassed, thinking that the other party might be following him around every day and unconsciously imitating his techniques.
The problem is that I am a senior technician, while the other person is a beginner. This kind of blind imitation is a huge hidden danger.
Yi Zhonghai could only correct the other person's movements while rebuilding his foundation.
Yi Zhonghai was genuinely afraid that Jia Dongxu would fail the Level 1 worker exam again. If Jia Dongxu lost face, he, as his mentor, would also become a laughingstock.
Yi Zhonghai tried to help Jia Dongxu correct his previous actions, but with little success. Jia Dongxu was good at nothing else, but he learned to be bad very naturally.
Yi Zhonghai was deeply worried. Even though his skills were improving rapidly, he always felt that things were going to go wrong.
Some things just don't work out, but the bad things do.
Yi Zhonghai passed the seventh-level worker exam with great anxiety, and Liu Haizhong also became a seventh-level worker.
The two were evenly matched again, which could be considered as progressing hand in hand.
However, compared to the silly guy in the bangs who was all smiles as if he had won the lottery.
Yi Zhonghai was feeling quite upset. He was very confident, but he was just a little short of breaking through to the eighth level of the worker level.
A level 7 worker is impressive, but certainly not as dazzling as a level 8 worker.
Furthermore, the fact that several of Liu Haizhong's apprentices have already passed the third-level worker certification further highlights Yi Zhonghai's incompetence.
It's impossible for Yi Zhonghai to easily teach his skills. He had worked so hard to learn them himself, so why would he be willing to casually teach them to others?
If you want to learn his skills, you have to promise to support him in his old age.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't know that the factory didn't pay much attention to him because he refused to teach his apprentices.
Even though a level 8 worker is impressive, it's just one person. The factory definitely hopes to have more mid- to high-level workers.
In particular, Guo Dapizi and Yi Zhonghai have a conflict, and the other party has been targeting Yi Zhonghai.
Interestingly, Guo Dapiezi first entered the steel rolling mill by becoming an apprentice of Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai simply looked down on Guo Da Piezi, thinking him to be ruthless. He certainly wouldn't dare treat such a person as someone to care for in his old age.
Guo Da Piezi noticed that Yi Zhonghai wasn't teaching him any skills, so he went to the foreman and found a different master.
In just ten years, Guo Dapizi not only broke through to the fifth level of worker, but has now become the deputy director of the first workshop.
Now Yi Zhonghai is in a bind; Guo Da Piezi is not a magnanimous person. Seeing Yi Zhonghai reminds me of the days when he bullied me.
Guo Da Piezi deliberately targeted Jia Dongxu, finding it difficult to control Yi Zhonghai, and dared not provoke Jia Dongxu either.
